steward on the steamer Breakwater, so.
He was married In Portland just one week
ago today, amfhls honeymoon has termi
nated In a suit for divorce, wmcn was
filed in the Circuit Court yesterday after
noon by the woman whom he led to the
altar and promised to cherish and protect,
if she would only "love, honor and obey."
Yager and his wife, nee Alice Arnold, a
retired i actress, came to Portland from
San Francisco last week and were mar
ried 1n the Courthouse last Thursday.
Three days later. Sunday morning, after
securir.c $100 of her husband's cash, she
disappeared, having left a tear-stained
note behind telling him that she had gone
to Oakland.
Reports Disappearance to Police.
Yager, thinking his wife had become
temporarily deranged, reported the case
to the police and started out himself in
search of her. He found her Monday
evening in a local beerhall with her for
mer husband. Arnold, but she would have
nothing to do with him. On the following
evening he met her on the street and suc
ceeded In Inducing her to accompany him
to a Third-street lodging-house. No soon
er had they reached the room, however,
than she became enraged and attacked
him, breaking an umbrella over, his head,
and was finally expelled by the proprietor
of the house for raising a disturbance.
Determined to recover possession of his
bride. Yager again sought the assistance
of the police, but to no avail, for they
would have nothing to do with the case
unless a warrant was sworn out, and this
Yager refused to do. Y'esterday the affair
culminated in the institution of the di
vorce suit. In which the wife alleges cruel
and Inhuman treatment, charging that

her and that she believed her life in peril.

asks to be allowed to resume her former
name.

Yesterday afternoon Yager appeared In
the office of the County Clerk, asking for
information as to how he was to secure
the record of divorces In the California
courts. He is trying to find out If his
wife had ever secured a divorce from her
former husband. Arnold, and says he will
prosecute her for bigamy if he finds that
she had never secured legal separation
before she married him.
"I do not begrudge her the $100 I gave
her before she ran away from me," he
said, "but I would have given her $200 If
she had saved me all of this trouble and
notoriety. I did not know she was that
kind of a woman, or I never should have
married her."
Alleging habitual drunkenness and cruel
and Inhuman treatment as her causes of
complaint. Zaydee G. Chase yesterday be
gan suit in the Circuit Court axking for a
decree of divorce from her husband. Sam
uel Chase, and for the custory of their

MAY REMAIN AFTER ALL
Eilers Piano House Said to Have
Secured Five-Year Lease.
An unconfirmed report to the effect that
at the eleventh hour, through the efforts
of several . Washington-street merchants
and prominent real estate men, the own
ers of the building and Eilers Piano
House had finally been successful in ar
ranging for continued occupancy upon a
basis satisfactory 'to all parties concerned
gained currency yesterday. The owners
of the piano etore were all too busy to
talk, but stated that nothing could be
done In the absence of the treasurer, Mr.
A. H. Eilers, who has been confined to
his home with la grippe. Messrs. Jen
nings & Co., the agents for the owners,
would neither confirm nor deny the ru
mor, though they admitted that some ar
rangement might eventually be consum
mated. It haa been stated that Eilers
Piano House will secure a five years'
lease on the premises, and that all nego
tiations that have been carried on with a
view to erecting a building in another
part of the city have been discontinued.
It is very generally conceded in real
estate circles that the big piano estab
lishment haa been a very Important fac
tor in the rapid development of upper
Washington street, and the musical pub
lic will hail with delight any definite in
formation as to a continuance of the pop
ular establishment at the old place.

SAFEGUARDS ARE NEEDED
At the Session of Oregon State Bank

be Discussed.
For supervision and regulation of
state and private banks, the Oregon
State Bankers' Association, which will
meet this morning at 10 o'clock at the
Y. M. C. A. in first annual convention
for a two days' session, will consider a
bill to be presented to the Legislature
next Winter.
That the association favors a law for
protection against unscrupulous and
fraudulent use of the people's deposits
seems assured. The executive commit

to report on the needs of a law and
submit a bill for such an act E. W.

Vice-President. E. V. Carter, Ashland.
Haines, of Forest Grove; E. .V. Carter,
of Ashland, and H. Hirschberg, of Inde
pendence. J. 'Frank Watson, of Portland, presi
dent of the association, says that the
association recognizes the need of a
law, quite as much for the Interests of
its members as for those of the public;
that It realizes the unanimous public
demand for supervision and knows
that, unless aided by honest bankers,
the demand might accomplish the en
actment of a law Injurious to all bank
ing Interests.
Will Submit a Bill.
"We shall submit a bill to the Leg
islature," said he yesterday, "and will
prepare It In "our executive committee
if the special committee shall not have
one ready. Oregon needs a law equal in
effectiveness to that of Idaho, and our
bill may follow its model."
Today's session will be given to ad
dresses and tomorrow's to resolutions
and election of new officers. Following
the call to order this morning by Pres
ident Watson, and the invocation by

Safeguards Are Needed.
Banks in Oregon, except National, are
without supervision. There is no check
on this kind of business, except for
those which apply to corporations and
partnerships and individuals generally,
and they are inadequate, because spe
cial legislation is necessary to cope
with the abuses which banks can prac
tice on the public. There is no test of
solvency, and any plausible person may
put up a banking sign, equip an office
with furniture and go Into the bank
Ing business. He can use the money of

vidual responsibility can be avoided by
formation of a corporation, without
paid-up capital or conservative safe In

Unworthy banks can accumulate large
sums of the people's money and specu

The remedy, as admitted by all au

SCOTTISH RITE SERVICE
It Is Held Over the Kemaina ot
John R. Foster.
The deeply impressive ceremony which
is' only observed after tho death of a
Scottish Rite Mason was administered
last night over the body of John K. Fos
ter, whose death took place Monday
night. The large auditorium of the Scot
tish Rite Cathedral was crowded by
friends of Mr. Foster and Masons from
all parts of the state, who are in the city
attending the session of the grand lod;?e.
It la customary to hold the funeral
service at midnight, but the hour was
changed to 8:45 o'clock last night, in order
to -accommodate the large number who
wished to be present and pay a last trib
ute to the dead Mason, who was well
known In Portland, where he had lived
for many years. All who participated in
the service wore the costume of the order,
and the spectacle was one of the moat
impressive ever witnessed in Portland.
Promptly at the hour set, Ralph W.
Hoyt, at the plpeorgan, played Blessner's
"Broken Heart," the closing strains of
which blended into "Consolation," sung
by the- Boyer quartet, composed of
Messrs. Boyer, Hogue, Zan and Montgom
ery. As the music died away, every light in
the cathedral was extinguished, and the
only light in the auditorium came from
candles carried by nine monks, who en
tered at- the rear of the platform and
silently gathered around the casket, at
one end of which arose a large black;
cross. The beautiful ritualistic service
followed, conducted by P ' S. Malcolm, I.
W. Pratt, F. W. Baltes, L. G. Clark,
Brydon H. Nichol, J. W. Newkirk. C. A.
Dolph and B. B. Beekman.
At the conclusion of the service the
monks knelt around the casket and as a
blessing was pronounced by Mr. Malcolm,
the candles were extinguished, one by
one, until a single flame remained. Three
strokes were sounded on the metal cross
and the quartet began chanting the "Mis
erere," which was followed by "De Pro
fundis." A curtain rose behind the coffin,
