TO WIDEN VILLA AVENUE Montavilla Residents Make Efforts to Improve Thoroughfare. W. J. Burden, president of the Monta villa Improvement League, says that the principal effort being made In Montavilla at present is to get the main streets graded, so that' the water committee will lay the mains when the time comes. He says that the improvement of Villa ave nue is the most important, and it is hoped to get this street opened through the Ladd tract to a connection with East Twenty-eighth street.' "We are trying to get this street made 80 feet wide." said Mr. Burden, "but are meeting with much opposition. If we can't make it 80 feet, we will try 70 feet, and if we can't get the Btreet widened at- air we will improve it 60 feet wide. We can do this, I am sure. But It ought to be made a wide street, as it will be an important highway for a very great district, comprising the country north to Columbia Slough and east to Fair view. We have asked that it be ex tended through the Ladd tract. I think we will get It through. We want to im prove Villa avenue with crushed stone when we settle whether It is to be widened.1' AT THE THEATERS What the Freu Agents Say. Big Feature at Pantages.

With about 3000 people in attendance, the meet ings of the Northfiela Conference were re sumed here today. The Rev. G. Camp bell Morgan, of London, and the Rev. G. A. Johnson-Ross, of Cambridge, Eng land, made talks Get Married and Live Happy, Is Judge Cameron's Sentence Detectives Kay and Burke Arrest Young Couple for Spooning at 4 A. M. Now Daniel Flannigan Has a Bride IF DANIEL FLANNIGAN had gone home even at midnight yesterday morning, he would be a single man to day. But Daniel had so much to say to his fiancee. Miss Bertha Pauley, that it took him until 4 o'clock to say it all. That fact proved a boon for him. He is now a married man. He declares he is glad he remained; and the blush ing bride says she is by no means sorry. Their romance is an odd one, espe cially the denouement. While announce ment nad never been made of the fact all their friends have known of their engagement for many months. They were anxious to get married, but there was the question of money. Daniel, be ing a waiter, didn't make more than a thousand dollars a month, and about 12 months in the year he made $950 per month less than that amount. So the financial horizon did not seem clear and they were afraid to set out on the mat rimonial sea in so frail a bark. Or, to be more accurate. Bertha was afraid. Dan was like the average youth whose heart, or reason or whatever it is, has become madly involved. He wanted to get married; and the sooner the better. So he sat out on the Pauley veranda on Ash street Wednesday night and put forth all the reasons favorable to an earlv marriage. One o'clock went by. So did 2 and 3. As the city clock tolled out the ghostly hour of 4, there was a stealthy tread in the garden. Then a couple of dark figures sprang up the steps. The bewildering apparitions, whn more clearly revealed by the light of a match, turned out to be the fa miliar figures of Detectives Kay and Burke, the most industrious members WOODCHOPPER ACCUSED OF CRIME John Peterson Is Arrested and Charged With Fiendish Assault Upon Child. IDENTIFIED BY LITTLE GIRL Other Persons Who Saw Man Lad Away Daughter of Harry Liavery Will Be Called Upon to Give Evidence Today. Believing that the assailant of the 8-year-old daughter - of Harry Lavery, steward of the Elks clubrooms, has been captured, numerous persons will be sum moned to police headquarters today to identify John Peteron, a woodchopper, who was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Hartman and placed in jail on a criminal charge. Through the identifi cation of Alice Brady, a little girl who saw the' Lavery child led away, Peterson was arrested. Miss Brady saw Peterson throwing in wood at Third and Mill streets. She said that she recognized him instantly as the man who had led the Lavery child away. She ran to the Lavery residence and notified Mrs. Lav ery. The police were notified, and De tective Hartman hurried to the place. Miss Brady pointed Peterson out to the detective, and the man was placed under arrest. The daughter of Mr. Lavery, an infant not more than 3 years old, was led from her home on Decoration day and was taken into the woods near what is known as the Castle, on Portland Heights. There she was found a few hours later In an unconscious condition and suffering from an assault made upon her by a brute who was said to be a woodchopper. The infant was in a precarious condition for several days, but recovered. One or two suspicious characters were picked tyj by the police, but, lacking in formation and unable to make an iden tification, the suspects were liberated. Po liceman John Goltz obtained information a' few days ago which warranted Peter son's arrest. Peterson is well known to the detectives, jind has been employed in various capacities about the city for years. Peterson Is noncommittal about the charge against him. He does not deny, however, that he was employed chopping wood near First and Harrison streets when the child was abducted. Following the assault, several of the persons said that they had seen a woodchopper lead the Lavery child away from her compan ions, and several attempted to give a de scription of the man. Percy Hall, a boy living in the neighborhood, said that he could identify the man if he saw him, and a Miss Brady, who saw the child walking away, said that she would be able to identify him. Other persons who are acquainted with the circumstances of the case will be taken to polled headquarters today and will make statements to the Chief of Police. 1 BUILDING LIS TO BLAME JOHN F. CORDRAT TELLS WHY THEATER IS NOT BUILT. Charles Sweeny, Spokane Capitalist, Stands Ready to Furnish Money for Magnificent Auditorium. That the rigid building laws enacted for Portland are retarding the growth of the city is the opinion of John F. Cordray, the veteran theatrical manager, who has been prevented from erecting a magnifi cent auditorium at Thirteenth and Morri son streets only because the building laws require the expenditure of an excessive amount of money. "Charles Sweeny, the Spokane capitalist, is willing to back me to any extent, to put up a magnificent auditorium in Portland," said Mr. Cordray, yesterday. "Portland has no auditorium which can accommo date a large gathering, and this has been a great drawback to securing this city as a meeting place for Eastern conven tions: When I laid this fact before Mr. Sweeny it did not take him Ave minutes to assure me that he would back me to any amount in erecting such an audito rium. I had in mind the Dekum property on Thirteenth and Morrison streets, and I immediately came here with an archi tect to begin looking up the preliminary work. My Spokane backer placed at my disposal J200.000, and I had in mind the erection of a Class A building of the best pressed brick and stone, which would seat 3000 people. "With my architect I had the surveys on the Dekum property made and was of the police department, the very mention of whose names strikes terror to the hearts of Portland's gay young Lotharios. "Tez are pinched fer bein out all night," said Mr. Kay, in his mysterious basso falsetto. There was a succession of feminine screams, much sobbing and pleading and then the young couple was taken away to the City Jail where they were held for the regular session of Police court. "They were spoonin' there at 4 o'clock In the morning," asserted Kay, as he laid his case before the court, "But we are engaged." explained Flannigan, as he indicated the weeping and wilted maiden at his side. Judge Cameron must have recalled that he, too, had once been engaged. His judicial air vanished as he summed up the situation. Then, with simulated sternness he ordered the couple up for sentence. "The sentence of this court Is that you two go at once and get married and live together happily ever after wards," said His Honor. "Do you mean it?" queried the as tonished groom-elect, his troubled countenance breaking into an incredu lous wreath of smiles. "Certainly, go ahead that i3 if you wish to I'll not insist, though," as serted the court. The couple needed no urging, not a bit of it. Accompanied by their legal representative, R. Citron, who had pre viously interceded for them with the court, they, secured the necessary 11 cense'nt once from County Clerk Fields. And Flannigan ought at least to get a framed photo of Kay and Burke and give it a place of honor In the parlor. mfrmpi , . Connoisseurs Understand That' There Is Nothing Better Than YELLOWSTONE Whiskey. Old, mellow and delightfully palatable, it Is the ideal stimulant ROTHCHILD BROS., PORTLAND, OR., Sole Agents preparing to have the building plans drawn when I discovered that the city building ordinances required for a thea ter building, dressing-rooms, stage, gal leries, girders and the like, all to be made of steel. Now this steel cannot be secured nearer than 2000 miles, and I figured that to comply with the city ordinance in this respect would cause an additional ex penditure of J100.000, and this I did not feel that I could afford. Consequently I was obliged to drop the whole plan Just when I was ready to begin work. "It is 'ridiculous to require such ma terials in a theater. Of course, the ordi nance was passed right after tne Iroquois disaster. Perhaps the Councilmen do not know that the Iroquois Theater was built throughout of steel, just as they require; But the steel did not prevent loss of life. In fact, the loss of life was not caused by fire Itself; it was caused by congestion of the people, who lost their heads in a mad rush to reach the exits. "The insurance people have been instru mental in getting these ridiculous require ments placed In the building laws of the city. If a theater takes fire and it is fin ished in steel, of course the loss is but small and the insurance companies suffer but little. It was established that the total damage by fire to the Interior of thme Iroquois Theater was less than $5. "These stringent building restrictions are retarding the growth of the city. Peo ple are willing to put up substantial build ings, but they do not feel disposed to make an excessive outlay of money Just to com ply with & ridiculous 'building ordinance which was born of a mistaken notion."
