FIRST SrOWDWF.LI.EB ARRESTED.
Fits, brought on bystarvation and
the horror of being arrested, caused
tha physical breakdown of F. W.
Workmaater, an old man who has
been ousted by the O. R. N. ' Co.
from an old scow on the river bank
in South Portland.
Workmaster and two other men
were arrested at the Instigation of
the O. R. & N. Co. last night on a
charge of trespass by occupying; ecowa
built by them on the railroad's prop
erty. Workmaster, who is in no
physical condition to work, fainted L
when the detectives took him from
his old and tumble-down home. He
had not eaten for more than a week,
he said, and had been unable to pro
cure food. At Police Headquarters,
while being booked and searched, he
again felt fainting to the floor from
lack of food. He took his arrest as a
disgrace and pleaded not to be
locked up.
Although a charge of trespass was
placed against him. Captain Slover
ordered the physical wreck to ba
taken to the hospital until such tlma
as he can recover.
Scowtown has thrown down the gaunt
let to the railroad companies which have
been seeking to eject the ecow-dwellers
from their homes along the . east side
of the Willamette. Many scowtown resi
dents declare they will not move. They
say they will protect their homes with
physical force and will not leave until
the roofs are torn away from over their
very heads. And the railroad companies
propose .to be rid of their unwelcome
tenants) even If violence has to be re
sorted to.
The matter came to a climax yesterday
forenoon when a railroad representative
complained to the police that all scow
town .was guilty of trespass and that
the entire population should be arrested
on that charge. The police were unable
to act without warrants. Later In the
day Special Agent Cordano, on behalf of
the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. Rail
road Companies, applied to the District
Attorney for these warrants.
The clash developed during the past
week, although It has been long brewing.
The railroad companies want to clear
their property for future use. They sent
notice to this effect to all Inhabitants
two months ago. A few days ago Mr.
Cordano called on them in person. He
told them there was no alternative. Scow
town was doomed. Its people must go;
Us residences must be sacrificed to the
sweep of progress.
Seven householders assented. They had
no way to move their scows, so the com
panies supplied the Hoo Hoo tug and a
few coils of tow rope. Seven residences,
one after the other, were towed In state
ly procession to a point on tha river
bank up near Sellwood. These scows
were from different parts of scowtown,
and consequently their occupants will
have to seek new neighbors among them
selves, start new quarrels, and organize
themselves into new social sets.
Efforts to hitch the tug onto other res
idences proved unavailing. The remain
der of the population refused the allure
ments of a free ride on the river with
all the comforts of home. They intended
staying right where they were and de
clared no railroa4 company could drive
them Into some foreign country up the
river.
The women residents did most of the
protesting and threatened to back up
their words with brooms and rolling pins.
The men were away at work or were
reluctant about getting too belligerent for
fear of getting into trouble. The railroad
attaches tried to- explain to them that
protest was useless. The companies had
purchased the land and were entitled to
upe It as they pleased. The response
wag made that possession constitutes ntne
points of the law and that, having lived
there for many years the old timers con
sidered the meager plots of land under
their humble homes as belonging to them
by right of continued residence.
A"s to the ultimate outcome there can
be no doubt. Scowtown will have to be
take Itself farther up the river. The
railroad companies have purchased the
land and have clear titles to It. The
law will show no sympathy In moving
men's homes to make place for empty
box cara. Anyone who makes a final
show of resistance will live to see his
homo and his family forcibly ejected,
even if he has resided on the property
since years before the shriek of a locomo
tive' was ever heard In Oregon.
Portland Girl Swims
Across Willamette
Miss Norma Lavrler, A fed 16, Per
forms Brave Feat, Regard leaa of
Wind and Wires,
MISS NORMA LAWLER, a plucky
young Multnomah Club member, is
the first woman to swim across the
Willamette River this season. She took
the long swim one day last week, said
to have been quite -the roughest day
of the Summer on the river. Professor
J. W. Murray, who is swimming in
structor at the Multnomah Club, pad
dled across in a canoe, keeping pace
with the swimmer.
"She took the distance with a strong,
steady stroke," Mr. Murray said, in tell
ing of the event, "and made the west
shore without even seeming to tire. It
was a rough day and the swells were
high enough to bother the ordinary
swimmer considerably, but Miss Law
ler did not seem to mind them at all
and accomplished the long distance
with great ease. Everyone is watch
ing the men and boys make records in
the water, but if they would open their
eyes they would find that Portland has
some women whose records are right
up to the top notch."
Miss Lawler is only 16 years old and
has been considered one of the star
swimmers of the club for some time.
Her stroke is particularly steady and
true, and she cuts her way through the
water with a" grace that would make
many a boy envious. In addition to be
ing a fine swimmer she also excels at
high diving.

MOSELY - IS INSANE
Alleged Chicago Embezzler
Must Go to Asylum.
INCURABLE, SAY DOGTORS
Accused Man, After long Iiife of
Crime, Boomed to Lingering '
Death In a Madhouse
From Paresis.
J. W. Mosely, alias Bufford C. Baxter,
alias R. J. Mahoney, the alleged Chi
cago embezzler, was yesterday morning;
declared insane by Drs. Williamson and
Josepki, and his commitment to the
Scats Asylum or some private sani
tarium will no doubt soon follow. It
is the opinion of the alienists who were
called in to adjudge the embezzler's
mental condition that Mosely is suffer
In from an Incurable state of paresis,
and that his life will in all likelihood
excend but for a few years. In the
face of these facts. J. W. Grier, the
Chicago attorney who was commis
sioned to take the man back to Chi
cago to face crimes committed eight
years ago, says he will make no fur
ther attempts at prosecution.
The tale of Mosely's criminal ex
ploits came to light yesterday during
the examination. Living under the
name of Bufford C. Baxter in Chicago
eight years ago. he prospered in the
business of broker and real estate
agent. In the course of his transac
tions he secured control of some $25.
000 belonging to Mrs. Ada T. Howland.
With this money in his possession
Baxter skipped the country. Pinker
ton detectives were put on his trail,
and it was but a short time ago that
he was located in Seattle, where he
was living under the name of R. J.
Mahoney, a member of the real estate
firm of Behrens & Mahoney. Attorney
Grier, representing the swindled Chi
cago woman, Immediately came West
10 secure the arrest of Mahoney. Be
fore he arrived at Seattle the embez
zler had been removed to this city by
his son, who passes under the name of
S. Mosely. The father was placed in
the Crystal Springs Sanitarium. Mr.
Grier continued his Journey to Port
land, and Just as he was about to draw
up legal papers to secure the person of
Mahoney, young Mosely appeared be
fore Judge Webster and asked for an
examination of his father, with a view
to testing his sanity.
And here the story ends.
There are vague hints that Mosely
is a criminal wich a long record. Now
his mind is gone and he will sin no
more, but will probably pass the rest
of his days within the walls of an
asylum. Mosely, the younger, appar
ently sincerely believes that his father
Is guiltless, for he said before the com
pletion of the medical examination
thac if his father had dfcne any crime
he would be the last person to place
any obstacle in the way of the law.
SAY BOY IS ILL-TREATED
Neighbors Make Charges' Against
Segal Family In South Portland.
Charges of extreme cruelty In the
treatment of a s-year-old child are
made against a family named Segal,
living in a Summer makeshift house on
Wood street, in South Portland. The
police were advised yesterday morn
ing that the mother, sister and brother
of the child handle the little boy, who
Is suffering from a broken arm, with
great severity.
An investigation of "the report was
made by Patrolman Stuart yesterday.
He found that the child's arm had been
broken by a fall several weeks ago and
that it was set at the Good Samaritan
Hospital. In his report he failed to ve
rify the reports of cruelty made by
A. J. Jensen, 124 Mead street, and
others. According to the statements
of these neighbors, the mother beats
the boy, whose name is Bennie, in a
brutal manner; while a youth, thought
to be an older brother of the tot. ducks
him In a spring to prevent him from
crying when he has been hurt by other
members of the family. Neighbors pro
fess to be very indignant and there
Is talk of securing an arrest warrant
for the parents.
Says Daggett Made Love to Her.
While on the witness-stand in Judge
Cameron's court yesterday, forenoon
testifying in her own behalf, in a case
wherein she is charged with mutilat
ing city property, Mrs. Theresa Belger,
578 Lake street, stated that C. L. Dag- ,'
gett, superintendent of the city crema- j
tory, attempted to make love to her
recently. The woman gave this testi
mony through the medium of an Inter

when he grew too friendly, and told
her husband about his attentions. The
matter was not gone into, as it was
not relevant to the case.
Daggett was the complaining wit
ness against the woman. He accused
her of cutting a hole in a fence erected
by the city near the crematory. Mrs.
Belger said the fence shut the sun
light out of her home, and she cut only
a small portion off the top for that
reason. No fine was imposed.
EAST SIDE PEOPLE MEET
Improvement Association Discusses
Questions of Local Importance.
At the meeting of the East Side Im
provement Association last evening. W.
L. Boise, presiding, Joseph Buchtel, of
the committee on Hawthorne Park, sub
mitted a report of the action of the
judiciary committee of the City Coun
cil to the effect that the committee would
recommend thai the option on the park
be renewed. Mr. Buchtel said that he
had been sounding the people in the di
rection of Lents and Montavilla, and
had found the sentiment in those direc
tions strongly favorable to securing the
park.
Mr. Buchtel reported that there was
a strong sentiment on the West side fa
vorable to having cars crossing Morrison
bridge run up Morrison street, and that
a delegation of West Side business men
would co-operate with the movement.
Councilman Bennett annouced thai
proceedings for the improvement of East
Stark street between East Water and
Eighth streets would be begun at the
Wednesday meeting of the Council. He
also expressed the opinion that there
would be no opposition. It will take
about two months for the preliminaries
to take them where they were before
the former ordinance was repealed by
the Council.
W. L. Boise reported that a new ordi
nance regarding the Standard Oil Com
pany's plant would be prepared to take
the place of the one first drawn up by
Councilman Sharkey. It was not de-
