THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. AUGUST 7, 190O. 9 L IS PLEAIN COURT Riddell Says He Should Be Removed as Administrator of Johnson Estate. FORTY REASONS ARE GIVEN Charges of Neglect, Mismanagement and Breach of Trust Are Revived in Argument on Behalf of Dead Man's Heirs. H. H. Riddell, attorney for the heirs of A. H. Johnson, says there are 40 rea sons why William M. Ladd should be removed as administrator of the Johnson estate. Mr. Rlddoll began his argument In the County Court yesterday afternoon. He pointed out to the court that early In the year 1894 A. H. Johnson was worth nearly ll.000.Wiu, ana Knowing tie was go ing to die made arrangements to settle his Indebtedness, and also to provide for hi wife and childrun. Mr. Johnson wished to obviate expen sive probate proceedings. He sent for "William M. Ladd. his principal creditor, and as the result of a conference exe cuted a trust deed to Mr. Ladd covering much property and also stock in the Union Meat Company. The claims amounted to $276,000, which included the claim of Ladd & Tilton for 1),12.94. Mr. Johnson was In a critical condition and his sole oiject was to pay his debts and leave his wife and children the re mainder of las property. He died April 11, 1894, and n his will named his wife, Cordelia Johnson, as executrix. "Not until after her husband's death," said Mr. Ricdell, "did Mrs. Johnson know the estate is, well as the trust property was to be held liable for her husband's debts. Nol until she was so told by her attorneys." Mr. llidlell explained that being; in formed tre estate was to be held for the debts as well as the trust property, Mrs. Johnson in making up the inventory of the esttte, wisely included the trust propertj as well a the other property because she concluded that if the estate was to be held the trust property was as much i Part of the estate as any other property. Notwithstanding the title waa In WlUara M. Ladd. . ladd Makes New Inventory. MB Johnson died in August, 1808, and Mr. Iidd in his Inventory did not Include the trust property of which he assumed to oe the absolute owner as part of the estate and appraised the estate property at only JJM.OW. Mr. Ladd made no report to the County Court concerning the trust property, said Nr. Riddell, and violated the laws of the state by not having done so and was liable to have his letters of administra tion revoked. The payment of A. H. Johnson's debts as the consideration for the trust deed. Jt was presumed to have wiped out John- son's debts, and if it did not there was no consideration and the deed was worth less. William M. Ladd sold J15S.000 worth of "property of the Johnson estate and got the money. He made no reports to the County Court, and was subject to re-J moval as administrator for not having done so. Mr. Riddell reviewed numerous charges of mismanagement and neglect which he has made against Mr. Ladd He has not yet completed his argument. At the morning session C. E. S. Wood and S. B. Linthicum, attorney's for Mr. Ladd, railed witnesses in rebuttal to prove that tho Sprlnghill farm has been well taken care of and la In good con dition. . Witnesses also' testified In favor of the heirs. Spring Hill Farm Neglected. Among the witnesses called was C. N. Johnson, one of the heirs of the estate. Mr. Johnson said that In 1S98 he pur chased from the other heirs a 420-acre tract of the Spring Hill farm, which, wholly, or in part, he rented for a number of years. One year he rented the entire tract, and from this derived a return of $1400. Mr. Johnson also stated that one year the Spring Hill farm produced 12,000 bushels of grain and 400 tons of hay. Now, aocording to tho testimony brought out, the place Is practically unproductive. Tho witness declared that within the past few years some fence has been built by James Nichols, one of the latest tenants W. M. Ladd had placed in charge of It, this fence having oak sapling posts is already falling to decay. He said that al most any of. the posts could be pushed over now, and that within a short time it would be level with the ground. He Btated that the conduct of the tenants generally was not such as would keep the place up. Sirs.' C. N. Johnson told of frequent visits of her mothor-tn-law, Mrs. Cordelia Johnson, to the office of Richard Will iams, attorney, who Informed her on each occasion that the estate was steadily becoming less solvent. At one time Nichols thought of buying the Spring Hill farm, but later concluded that since he had to make no repairs he would do bet ter as a renter. She once heard Nichols remark that Ladd -would not get enough oft the place to pay the taxes. Other witnesses testified that the Spring Hill farm was originally rich, but thrpugh neglect had lost value. James Nichols, the evidence showed, had all but abandoned the raising of grain on the place and only raised fodder for hla cows. Mr. Nichols, Mrs Ford and others testified to the good condition of the farm. BURKHAKT FILES ANSWER. Executor of Hamilton Estate Denies Charges Made by Mary A. Hare. T. T. Burkhart executor of the will of Alfred J. Hamilton, filed an answer in the County Court yesterday deny ing charges made by Mary A. Hare, ad ministratrix of the estate of Cynthia S. Hamilton. The latter was the wife of Alfred J. Hamilton. Mrs. Hare al leges that Mr. Hamilton owned real estate in Multnomah and Washington Counties which Executor Burkhart docs not mention in his reports. This property Mrs. Hare specifies and states that some of it was sold on the In stallment plan and payments are still due. The executor denies all knowl edge of this property. Mrs. Hare also avers that there was $493 in bank which belonged to Mrs. Hamilton: The executor has accounted for this money but denies that it belonged to Mrs.' Hamilton. Lucas Demurs to Complaint. Jay Vpton, attorney for Zeno Lewis, a painter, who is charged with as sault on Mildred Wilhelm, yesterday tiled a demurrer to the information on the ground that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a crime. Lucas is still in jail In default of $2000 bail. He served as a soldier in the Philip pines, and Is well known in this city where he has lived for many years. Sues for Price of Dishwasher. The Peerless Dishwasher Company, of New York, yesterday filed suit in the DISMISS ADD State Circuit Court against D. M. Wat son, formerly a restaurant keeper, to recover $132 for a dishwasher machine, sold May 11, 1806. The machine waa to be given 30 days' trial by Mr. Watson, and the company agreed to see that it worked satisfactorily. The company al leges it complied with all the condi tions of the contract. Settles for Workman's Death. Judge Webster yesterday authorised a settlement by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works in the sum of $600 for causing the death of Fred Rube. The money will be sent to the widow in the East. She has also been sent $100 for-expenses, and the body of her hus band was shipped to the East, the com pany paying the funeral bill. The com pany denied all liability, but still agreed to make a settlement. Petitions to Vacate Street. Peter Kerr filed a petition in the County Court yesterday asking that part of Russell street on Abernetby Heights be vacated." He says the prop erty stands upon Elk Rock, a promon tory above the Willamette River, and the physical condition of the ground is such that the public could never travel over the street to the south, and It never will be used as a street. Appraisers File Report. The inventory and appraisement of the estate of Merritt Lindsay, de ceased, showing property valued at $S100, was filed in the County Court yesterday. Swims River and Back in Thirty Minutes Remarkable Performance of Mlaa Vivian Marshall, Portland Girl of 17, Accomplished With Little Ef fort. MISS VIVIAN MARSHALL, the 17-year-old daughter of R. A- Mar shall, a cement contractor of Irvington, accomplished a swimming feat yester day that Is a record performance of its kind. Miss Marshall swam the Willam ette at Bundy's baths and returned to the float without pausing to rest on the west side, accomplishing the round trip in exactly 80 minutes. There are few women swimmers who have swum across the river and back 'X -lm.- , Hit-'' ' - ZZ.Z w.2sr- -wc-aaw Mlsa VIVIAN MARSHALL HWLUM1M ii ACROSS T1U2 W1LLAMJEXTK. again without resting, and It is be lieved that Miss Marshall's swim is the first time a girl has accomplished the stunt in such fast time. She is a re markably steady swimmer, without seeming to try to make very fast time, and In her performance yesterday she did not hurry at all. In fact when she reached Bundy's on the return trip, she seemed comparatively fresh and swam out in the river again and made the high dive immediately after reaching the bathhouse. W. L. Murray, of the Multnomah Club, and R. A. Marshall accompanied Miss Marshall in a boat o guard against accident but there was no oc casion for their services. They kept close time on her and vouchfor the record made. Miss Marshall has been used to swim ming since she was a little girl, having lived on the Coast In California for a number of years, where she became proficient in the sport. In Vaudeville Houses BY A. H. BALLARD THE FINE vaudeville bill booked for the Grand this week has been trans ferred to the Star, together with the en tire force of assistants formerly employed at the larger house. The feature of the bill, which, by the way, Is entirely good, is Laura Howe and her lively collection of animated Dresden dolls. This act is some thing unique and should be seen to be ap preciated. Another splendid act is the Russian brothers Kallnowskl, in an acro batic hand-balancing act similar In some respects to the Beauclalre brothers at the Grand last week. Dick Lynch, a clever Irish comedian, furnishes much amuse ment with his clever witticisms, and in addition contributes a dancing turn much on the George Primrose order. Arthur Rlgby, In blackface, and Ada Jewell, in operatic ballads, are clever, and the mov ing pictures showing a crowd of girls from a near-by Bemlnary badgering a farmer of their neighborhood round out an excel lent evening's entertainment. T THE Pantages Theater thia week Is r Professor Henri Rochford, who Intro duces his mechanical doll Sapho for the first time to the pleasure-seekers of Port land. Sapho is really a clever piece of mechanism. Others on the bill at this popular house are Truxedo and Robinson, who .return with new songs, new dialogue and new wardrobe, and are better than ever, before; Beverley and Danvers ren der a clever sketch entitled "I'm a Mar ried Man Myself," which is really amus ing. The musical Spraguelles contribute their musical specialty in the most pleas ing manner. The Great W"allace, as he. Is billed, is a contortionist of no mean abil ity. Jack Leonard sings "Just Plain Folks" with his usual presence, and has made quite a hit. The moving pictures depicting the pleasures of a straw ride In the dead of Winter furnish an amusing contrast to the present-day conditions, which winds up an interesting entertain ment. ACK, THE GAMBLER, is the title J of the play offered the patrons of the popular Lyrlo Theater this week, and has for Its theme the scenes and incidents around a Western mining camp. Jack Mason is a gambler, and his especial chum, Alex Fairfax, has a sister, with whom Mason falls in love. Alec objects to Mason"s suit because be is a gambler, and around this is built a series of inci dents in which a villain becomes involved, and the whole story is cleverly told by the Lyrio Stock Company. Frank Fanning as the gambler, Herbert Ashton as his chum, Warda Howard and Lilly Branscombe in the principal roles are exceptionally well cast. OPEN AIR IS CURE FOR WHITE PLAGUE Dr. S. A. Knopf, Tuberculosis Specialist, Advocates Common-Sense Method. REST, FOOD, FRESH AIR Director of National Association for Study and Prevention, of Tuber culosis Declares Proper Precautions Check It. Dr. S. A. Knopf, of New Tork City, who bears an international reputation as a tuberculosis specialist and who lived In Portland during his Btudent days, 22 years ago, arrived In the city yesterday. Dr. Knopf is a director of the National Association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis, o which President Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland are honorary vice-presidents. Several years ago at a meeting of medical men from all parts of the worth held In Berlin Dr. Knopf was awarded the international prize for an essay entitled "Tuberculosis as a jjib aasa of the Masses and How to Combat It." Eighty-one eminent doctors took part in the contest. The prise was given by the German government. Dr. Knopf's article has since been trans lated into 21 different languages and published in book form. Uses Common-Sense Method. Dr. Knopf's treatment of the dread ed disease Is what he calls the "common-sense method." Since consump tion has been treated from a scientific standpoint the number of cases has been on the decrease. Plenty of good plain substantial food is one of the doctor's ideas, together with an abund ance of fresh air and a great deal of rest. Persons afflicted with the dis ease should be careful with their ex pectoration, says the doctor. If this is properly looked after there is little possibility of the spread of the germ. Expectoration is what causes the spread of the disease. "People suffering from tuberculosis should live in the open air as much as possible 24 hours out of the 24 if pos sible," Dr. Knopf said last evening at the Hotel Portland. "In addition to the common-sense method and constant medical supervision which all cases should be under, if the consumptive is careful with his expectoration, there is little chance of the disease spread ing among others. Consumption Is Curable. "Pnnaiimntlnn t 1 1 .-. V, 1 T, t. n r. n ' be forgotten, of course, that it takes from six to 12 months to complete cures in early stages. Understand me, the warfare against consumption is not against the consumptive. If the pa tient is careful and conscientious it is safe for other people .to associate with him. Exaggerated fear of the measure of consumption, technically called phthislophobia, is a great injustice to the honest consumptive. "The education of the masses against tuberculosis should begin In the com mon schools everywhere. The principles of prevention should be taught to the teachers and the children as well. All school children should be examined pe riodically for signs of tuberculosis and inspected for infectious and communi cable diseases as well. To this end schools should have well-trained phy sicians to make dally inspections. Workshops and factories should be in spected as to their sanitary condition every so often. No one should expecto rate, whether "he be a consumptive or not, except in cuspidors. "Climate is of secondary Importance. Hygienic and dietic treatment I con sider to be of primitative importance. The climate of Portland Is particularly suitable to persons suffering from the disease, because the weather will per mit the people to live out of doors 24 hours out of each day and 365 days of every year. City Should Have Sanatorium. "Every city should have hospitals and a sanatorium for the treatment of tuber culosis." The early cases should be cared for at the hospitals, and the hopeless anti advanced patients taken to the sanato rium. This would be a great help to the fight now going on against the disease and would prevent the infection of peo ple In the districts occupied by the poor. "The expectoration of a consumptive contains a germ known among the mem bers of the profession as tubercle bacillus which Is alone responsible for the spread1 of the disease. "Consumption is not directly Inherited. But the infections in children usually take place shortly after birth, from careless and consumptive parents. The only thing which is inherited . is the predisposition. This can be overcome by intelligent par ents, who bring up their children in ac cordance with the laws of health and Nature. "Poverty and want and bad housing are also predisposing causes which render people susceptible to tuberculosis. There fore, no matter how many institutions a municipality may create and maintain for the treatment of consumption, it must see that the laboring population Is properly housed. Unsanitary conditions In the ten ement districts must be done away with. Lodglng-Houses Should Be Watched "Otherwise, the number of patients that are being treated by sanitary methods will be constantly on the Increase. Tu berculosis cases would be created daily In unsanitary homes and unsanitary lodging-houses." The doctor was highly pleased with the deep Interest which prominent laymen of Portland have taken in the tuberculosis problem. Those who have established a sanatorium near the city for consump tives were to be given due credit for doing something for the benefit of all mankind, he thought. . Dr. Knopf, who has made a life study of his work, is also of the opinion that the social aspect of the disease is as im portant as the medical one. Only by the united action of the laymen everywhere. he declares, together with the members of the medical profession, will it ever be possible ultimately to eradicate consump tion among the people of the civilized world. Dr. Knopf is accompanied by his wife. DANDELION WINS SARATOGA Opening . of Meeting 19 Marked by Breaking of Record. SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. . 6. F. H. Hitchcock's entry.

Streeter, of this city, have lust re turned from the country about Mount St. Helens, where tbey have spent a pleasant two weeks' vacation. Most of the time thehy were at Spirit Lake, the beautiful expanse of water at the base of the mountain and on its northeastern slope. "While the large fish are not biting now," said Mr. Streeter, "we got all of the smaller ones we wanted. Earlier in the season big fish weighing from four to 14 pounds are frequently taken from the lake with a spoon. We did most of our fishing in the nearby streams and caught any number of brook trout. Several parties are camped on the lake for all Summer. The country is beautiful and it Is an ideal mountain spot for a hot-weather sojourn."

WINS INITIAL RAGE Mischief II Has Easy Victory for Lipton Cup. AEOLUS COMES IN SECOND First of Series for Pacific Coast Yacht Honors Proves a Proces sion, San Diego Boat . Being Far Behind. SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. . The South Coast Yacht Club's Mischief II today won the first of the series for the Lipton cup. Aeolus, the San Diego defender, was sec ond, and beat all other south coast yachts, but her defeat by Mischief II was rather a bad one. In windward work the San Diego boat more than held her own. After the first stake the beat around the course was dead to windward. Aeolus went around first, then Mischief II closely followed. The black racer from San Pedro In an 8-mile breeze took the lead and outpointed the Aelous. Mischief II held her lead to the end of the race, finishing 9 minutes 38 seconds ahead of Aeolus. Then came Monsoon, 41 seconds behind Aeolus, and 8 minutes 1 second ahead of Mischief I. the latter two minutes ahead of Sklddoo. The Efftrella did not finish the race. The first race was over a triangular course off Coronado Beach, two miles to a leg, twice around, making a 12-mile race. The Mischief II. the largest boat In the race, gave the Monsoon six seconds; the Aeolus 31 seconds, the Sklddoo four min utes, the Mischief I four minutes and 37 seconds and the Estella 10 minutes and 13 seconds. The starting gun was fired at 1 o'clock and the Skiddoo was first over the line, followed by the Aeolus In 10 seconds and the Estrella 10 seconds later. The two Mischiefs crossed almost together at 1:0H4. Light sails were spread at once and the racers went down before the wind, the Aeolus and Mischief II soon overhauling the leader. At 1:14 the Aeolus passed the Skiddoo and at 1.22 reached the first turn ahead of the others, but Mis chief II was only a minute behind, having gained on the leg. In the beat to wind ward, it was seen that the wind was too strong for the Aeolus and the Mischief II kept gaining and reached the windward buoy at 1:57, well In the lead In the start for the run home. The Mischief turned the firrt buoy on the second round at 2:32. the Aeolus at 2:39 and the Monsoon a minute and a half later. Mischief II finished the race at 3:25Vi. far in the lead.
