THE MORNING OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 1907. 11 PATIENT WOMAN AT LAST AVENGED Mrs. Osterly Upholds Rights of Sex by Remaining Out Until Dawn. FAMILY TRAGEDY ENSUES Mrs. Jennie Scott dels Black Eye C hopping 'Wood lodging tn the City Park Expensive Other Oak-Street Talcs. The patient and sometimes irate lady who Is compelled now and again to wait up until the peep of dawn for her husband to wobble, home, ostensibly from the club, lias been avenged. .One of her own sex has turned the tables. A South Portland husband has been compelled to keep the . lonely viKil until very near the break of day; and when the belated wife did finally appear sheoame unsteadily and told a woeful incoherent tale of having been detained at a ladies' meeting. When the lamenting husband insisted on a fuller explanation of her tardiness she inscribed the monogram of her impatience on his manly cheek. This was the first chapter of a domestic tragedy In the K. Osterly household Mon day. The second chapter occurred yester day forenoon In the Municipal Court, for It appears that Osterly did not take his punishment In good grace. Someway or other, during the discussion of the night's events, Mrs. Osterly secured a lamentably bruised and swollen face. She says Osterly tried to teach her boxing. The husband has another story. After waiting up for her through the weary hours of the night, he says she tamo home with the melancholia and unsteadiness attendant rpon a waning jag. Ho was aggrieved that she should do such a thing but Instead of losing his temper and adopting the feminine course by threatening to go home to papa, he essayed to reason with her. His reward was the monogram inscription already referred to. In endeavoring to restrain her and save as much of his complexion as possible. Osterly says he thrust her gently backward, whereupon she struck ' ! against a bedpost,, thereby damaging her own face. He denied having struck her. "You are a liar, sir." Mrs. Osterly sug gested in open court with the refined calmne&b of a steam calliope. She was about to continue her - eulogy when Judge Cameron remarked that it would not. be necessary, as he already had made original deductions along -the . line of Osterly's veracity. The husband was warned to be more careful of tils wife's facial symmetry, and the wife was advised to get home earlier after this. Mrs. Jennie Scott says she secured her black eye while chopping the family wood. She appeared in court yesterday, with one of the most clearly denned speci mens observed by the authorities in many a day. Her husband is kind to her. she says, but a piece of wood happened to . fly up and. The police Insisted on Interrupting her narrative. They said It didn't matter how she got her eye discolored: that the real discoloration was in her character. The black line that encircled her optic was as snow compared with her character. It was for this reason she had been gathered in. Vagrancy was the charge. The court will hear evidence pro and con before passing on the case. i It is much cheaper to go to the best hotel In the city and get the beet room to be had than to try to sleep In one of the city parks. The parks are to please the public eye by day and not to ease the public weariness by night. Several persons have found this out o their sor row this season. The latest is W. H. Schlusse. who went to steep on a bench In the Plasa Monday night. Ragardless of the fact that he was sound asleep when found, the fellow was fined $5. which he paid, the charge being that of after hours.' Harry Roberts, a student of electrical . engineering, got into trouble through an overbearing strawboss who thought the . young man had no business on earth. The strawboss rejoices in the name of Kelly and contines his operations to the Madi son-street bridge, at such rare intervals. successful operation. It seems Roberts went to the bridge to study the mechan ism of the draw span. He was per emptorily ordered away by .Strawboss Kelly. When the indiscreet young man had the effrontery to talk back to the great man, Kelly sent for the police .and had Roberts arrested. Judge Cameron promptly dismissed the case. ( Roy Pike's musical education has taken a queer turn. The young man has been ambitious to drive Paderewski out of business, for 'these many days, but never had a fair chance to give a public recital until Monday night, when he was Invited to play for the happy conglomeration that, waa in carousing at Bchler's sa loon. Pike played over the few things he knew, and the concert was stimulating business in fine order when the police ended it. The musician was taken along, and yesterday was adjudged guilty of vagrancy. Judge Cameron thought the budding pianist would be able to do fortissimo movements a little more ef fectively with the finger and arm exer cises that may be gleaned from 15 days on the rockplle.

POLICE OUT FOR PRACTICE Show Much Interest in the Coming Game With Firemen. The policemen's baseball team will evidently be a success. Tcsterday af ternoon about 25 members of the force turned out for the Initial practice, and much enthusiasm was exhibited by the men. Nearly all the younger patrol men of the second relief were out, and after 4 o'clock quite a delegation from the day relief made its appearance. There is good material for a team Amnnir ! rr .n wltn tmn rH nut 1 -ot night, and with a little practice every ' afternoon, a good bunch of ballplayers could be developed. One thing noticeable in the practice was that the men are good batters. . The organization of the team is mainly due to Jailor Wendorf, and it is his plan to play the firemen's team some day in the latter part of next month. Win French, a well-known ballplayer, has consented to coach the men into shape, and promises that he will have . good bunch of ballplayers. The men who turned out are: Pa- troldriver Gruber, Desk Sergeant Gus- tavson, Patrolmen Bob Phillips, Harry Bales, "Hank Wilson, Johnson; Port- wood, Evans, Howell, Burchell, Ten- nant, Pete Anderson, Ielsy, Porter, and Jailer Wendorf, of the second re lief, and Patrolmen Jim Anderson, Goltz, Parker, Keller, Rudoph.

Is Requested to Put on Local Between Biggs and Pendle ton to Facilitate Transconti nental Passenger Traffic. Members of the State Railroad Com mission yesterday addressed a letter to Wlillam McMurray, general passenger agent for the O. R, & X., informing him that the local train service be tween Biggs and Pendleton is inade quate. In the absence of a necessary local service between these points, the commission argues that the heavy transcontinental trains have been obliged to look after this traffic with the result that these trains are fre quently several hours late reaching Portland. The railroad company is requested by the commission to take such steps as are necessary to relieve the situa tion. For some time, it is learned, the O. R. & N. officials have been con sidering continuing the Biggs local east, to serve the points from which the complaints now come. Since the matter is now formally called to the attention of the company, it is probable an Improved service will be provided. The letter from the Railroad Com mission to Mr. McMurray follows: "Confirming the conversation be tween Mr. Scott, assistant general passenger agent and Messrs. Campbell and Altchison, of this commission, on Sunday last, we beg to call your atten tion to the condition of the local train service on your line eastward from B.lggs. A number of complaints have been made to the commission and we have been requested to take action, but, as is our custom before attempting to set the matter down for hearing, we take the matter up informally with you now and request you to investigate the local train service and see if it cannot be bettered. "We submit that tho local travel eastward is of sufficient size to demand the running of local trains from Biggs to Pendleton, at least, and perhaps to Huntington. We also submit that by reason of the. absence of local accomo dations your heavy transcontinental trains have been unduly burdened. We believe they should be assisted in the local work by lighter local trains. We also submit that the schedule of your overland trains is not such that they can be conveniently used for local pur poses. As you know, they generally go through the territory east of Biggs in the night time. The west-bound trains are, perhaps necessarily, many hours late at times. "We are prepared to- demonstrate the inadequacy of your local train service east of Biggs and trust that you will be able to relieve the situation by affording adequate locad train service at an early date.' MUST PUT UP TIME-TABL,ES Railroads Prepare to Comply With State Commission's Rnle. One of the rules of the State Railroad Commission is that bulletins giving the hours of the arrival and departure of all trains, be posted in every station. Prac tically all stations have for years been supplied with these bulletin boards, but because of the carelessness or indifference J of agents, time cards have not been posted for the information or the public. Newly painted bulletin boards are being sent to station agents for the. O. R. & N. and the Southern Pacific, accompanied by a letter from the office of General Man ager J. P. O'Brien, in which the atten tion of agents is called to the posting of bulletins. In the same letter these employes re informed that they will be held liable for all fines that may be imposed on the company for failure to keep the bulletin board properly marked up. "Whenever a train is an hour late, it is required that this information be posted on the bulletin board within a reasonable length of time after the agent is advised of the fact by the despatched Hal Iroad Personals. William McMurray. general passenger agent for the Harriman lines in the MEMBKBS OF THIS POLICE Northwest, has returned from a busi ness trip to San Francisco. A. L. Craig, passenger traffic manager for the Great Northern and Ben Campbell, fourth vice-president of the same sys tem, are registered at the Portland from St. Paul, Minn. Mr. Craig was formerly general passenger agent for the Harri man lines in the Northwest. Rate to Rainier Raised. J. . C. Mayo, general passenger agent for the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, announced yesterday that beginning with April 20, the passenger rates over that road between this city and Ranier-would be advanced from Jl to $1.30. This change in the passenger tariff is made to equalize the fare between these points, since the A. & C road is now giving a local service between this city and Gome and Inter mediate points. The rate on the North ern Pacific from Portland to Goble, which is three miles this side of Ranier, has always been $1.20. Remove to New Quarters. The general offices of the auditing de partment of the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, The Dalles, Portland & Astoria Navigation Company, and the Columbia River & Northern Railway will be opened on the third floor of the Union depot this morning. . The general offices will be located in rooms 38. 39 and 40 while H. Talbot, vice-president and gen eral, manager of the eteamship line and the Columbia River & Northern will occupy room 36.. F. r. .

Stivers Beseeches the Salem Statesman, to Remove Cobwebs. PORTLAND. April 16- (To the . Editor.) A number, of Oregon newspapers have praised highly the biennial report of the Labor Commissioner ot the State of Wis consin, ipsued recently. The Salem States man commends the report as "one which the Oregon state government would do well to copy after in exploiting the resources of this commonwealth, and adds: "Oregon has had no publication of a similar kind for several years." To indicate the nature and thoroughness of the work, the States- I man says: . "The subjects covered In the I book are agriculture, climate, dairying, for mation of soils, manufacturing, markets, opportunities for investments, population, Portland cement, sugar industry. Summer resorts, variety of sot, water powers, grass i lands, and every county; city and village Is written up in detail, and altogether the , book is full of 'valuable information con- j cernlng the great State of Wisconsin." It seems to the writer that the remarks ' quoted" are unjust to the Oregon . Labor ! Commissioner. O. P. HoflT, whose biennial 1 report was Issued the first of the year. Un- ! questionably the report of the Wisconsin commissioner, who is at the head of on i of the most efficient labor, and statistical bureaus in the country, is more exhaustive and elaborate than the similar report is sued in this state, and for palpable rea sons. The -expense of the Oregon bureau to the state has been less than $260 per an num, the salary of the commissioner being fixed at $1800 and all other expenses lim ited to $800. Commissioner HoiT's report shows the total expense of his bureau for the two years from October 1, 3904. to September 30. 1906. to have been $."01ft.2o, or $183.45 less than the amount appropri ated for the two years. On the other hand, investigation discloses that Wisconsin's Labor Bureau has the fol lowing employes: One labor commissioner, one deputy labor commissioner, one chief clerk, two subordinate clerks, one stenog rapher, one chief factory inspector, ten as sistant factory Inspectors and four superin tendents of free employment offices a total of 21 employes drawing salaries from the State of Wisconsin.- The Oregon report .rep resents the industry and efficiency of one man Labor Commissioner Hoft. However, it covers most of the subjects treated by the Wisconsin report. On page 84 of the Oregon report there is a comparative table years of 10O4 and 190 of market prices o ordinary articles of domestic consumption. Under the head ing, "Miscellaneous Industries," Is a write up .briefly treating; of 104 different Indus tries of the state and covering 40 pages of the report. Under the heading, "Oregon by Counties," beginning at page 143 23 pages are devoted to population, area, nature of soil, industries, resources, wages, cost of living, condition' of roads, surveyed and tin surveyed lands, appropriated, and unappro priated lands, scenery, topography, etc., no county being overlooked. Forty-six pages of Mr. Holt's report are devoted to "Incor porated Cities and Towns," the-treatment being similar to that of the counties. One hundred and fifty-two cities and towns are written up concisely and according to the latest available data gathered for the pur pose. Of course, a large share of the re port is devoted to labor conditions and trade unions, and these subjects receive thorough and exhaustive treatment.' At the last session of the Legislature the commissioners salary was increased from $ 1 80 to $2000 per annum. However, his salary Is now $400 or $500 less per annum than that of each chief clerk in the other departments of the state government at Salem. "An Early .

"I have used, your Whiskey as a tonic-stimulant for several years and have been greatly benefited by it. I have always recommended it to others and shall continue to do so.

Investigation shows that the plans of the famine relief committee are admirable. There has been no leakage of the funds administered by foreigners. A house-to-house inspection has resulted in 90,000 families, totalling 600,000 famine sufferers, being enrolled by the committee which is attempting to pro vide for them until the harvest. Addi tions to the list of families will be mide only when the funds available justify it Three kinds of relief tickets are Issued: First, free food, which are not Issued unless the family has absolutely no money, food or pawnable articles and its members are too weak to work; second, where they are physically able, each member of a family Is given work to pay for food; third, the, Chinese government; is paying to some families 114 cents per day. These tickets are given to these families entitling them to purchase fam ine supplies at cost. Food is furnished to ticket holders at the reller sub-centers at stated times. Often the thatch roofs and timbers of houses are sold and families, because they had a table left, have been refused relief, and, utterly discouraged, they have com mitted suicide.
