FREE WHITER LOST
Amendment Will Not Go on
the Ballot.
BILL IS FOUND IRREGULAR
Jndge Cleland , Will Rale.'. 'Today
Against H. D. Vagnon and
Others AMio Sought to Com
pel Vote on Question.
The decision which will be rendered by
Judge J. B. Cleland this morning In the
mandamus proceeding against City Audi
tor Devlin, brought by H. D. Wagnon and
' others, to compel the Auditor to place the
free-water amendments on the official
ballot, will be a death blow to that
movement. Not only will the demurrer
to the writ be sustained, but some discov
eries that have been made by the Judge
in his investigation of the case will be
reviewed, which aside from the technicali
ties Involved, do not reflect credit on the
parties interested In the free-water
amendment.
In.drafttng the free water amendment,
the author followed for a time almost
word for word section 114 In the charter
laws of the city passed by the Twenty
third Assembly In 1905. but whether pur
posely or not. omitted the entire clause
relating to the 2-miII tax creating what Is
known as the "Special Bridge Fund." This
clause provides for the buildtng of bridges
across gulches and ravines within the
corporate limits of the city at a cost not
to exceed 15.000 each, and should section
114 become a law as amended as the free
water petition sets forth. It would be dis
astrous to the present building of all such
bridges In the city. The free water amend
ment In other words will repeal that part
of the section creating the 2-mlll levy
for the "Special Bridge Fund."
The radical - changes In . the section,
which do not appear consistent, and other
points which Judge Cleland will bring out
In his decision, will be the grounds upon
which the case will be decided in favor
of Auditor Devlin, although Judge Cleland
has not given out what the nature of his
decision will be in regard to the demurrer.
PR. ATWOOD IS ON TRIAL
Physician Is Charged With Perform
ing a Criminal Operation.
The trial of Dr. C. H. T. Atwood be
gan before Judge Gantenbeln in his
department of the Circuit Court yes
terday. He. is-charged with perform-'
tng a criminal operation on 16-year-old
Hattle Fee, which caused the death
of her child, born March . 2 of this
year. Not until 2 o'clock did the coun
sel succeed In Impaneling a jury, as
many of them had decided - opinions
In cases of this kind. The courtroom
was crowded with spectators and mem
bers of the Girls" Aid Society, who have
taken a personal interest In the girl.
W. B. Holdiman, charged with be
ing the cause of the girl's trouble, was
brought into court by Sheriff Ste
vens, and sat with his eyes shaded by
his hand during the testimony of his
victim. The courtroom was cleared by
the Judge during the girl's testimony,
and she was placed under a severe
examination by both District Attorney
Manning, who has charge of the case
for the state, and Lawyer John F. Lo
gan, for the defendant.
She gave the details of her Illness,
and subsequent visits and treatments
at Dr. Atwood's office. Miss Lennle
Grove, a 19-year-old girl who acted
as assistant to Dr. Atwood at the time
Miss Fee called to see him. testified
that she saw nothing but what was
professionally done by the doctor. The
case adjourned at 5 o'clock last eve
ning with the testimony of three wit
nesses, which gave but little evidence
as to the -criminal nature of the case.
The witnesses for the state are Hat
tle Fee. Catherine Fee. Leona Beeson,
Jennie Keeny, W. B. Holdiman, Lola

HEARD IN THE ROTUNDAS
Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruzer, Society Leader and Authoress, Here on Way
to Nevada Mining Camps Eager to See Real Frontier.
MRS. VAN RENNSEL.AER CRUGER,
society leader of New York and
Washington and author of a number
of novels and poems that have been
given wide circulation. Is at the Port
land for a short stay. Her trip to' the
Coast Is for pleasure merely. She has
never been so far West before. She will
go from here to Goldfleld, Nevada,
where she intends to Invest in mining
stocks. ' Her relatives in the East were
shocked that she should come out to
this far country, accompanied only by
her maid, and that she should contem
plate visiting the mining camps of Ne
vada In person. One wrote her from
Europe that she was very venturesome
to come to Nevada, but she wrote back
that she has more of the spirit of ad
venture than the average young man
of the day. who is inclined to lie on his
back and read Herald ads, thinking that
will pay his bills. A friend in Washing
ton predicted she would lose all her
money if she did anything In mining
stocks.
"I have lost so much." said Mrs.
Cruger, "what does It matter? I have
had yachts blow up and houses burn un
til I have become accustomed to losing
things. I think it is lots of fun to risk
things. Of course I shall always keep
a nestegg."
Mrs. Cruger will go to Seaside to see
the Pacific before she leaves, but most
of all to visit Astoria. Her mother was
a niece of Washington Irving and she
has been interested in seeing the place
whose early settlement Is described In
the novel "Astoria." She Intends send
ing a postal from that historic town to
her' friend. William Waldorf Astor, at
his English home.
Although Mrs. Cruger is known all
over the continent and abroad for her
books and poems, she does not Intend
to write anything as a result of this
trip. She has written a good' deal but
Is resting from her labors for a time.
Besides, she complains there Is no local
color in Portland. One might Just as
well be in an Eastern city, she says,
for everything here Is modern. She
hopes to see the real frontier in Gold
fleld, however, yet she shudders to think
of the rough conditions she may meet
and the uncomfortable hotel conditions.
In that event she will make her stay
there very brief.
She likes Portland and describes the
air here as a veritable elixir of life. She
has been about by car and automobile
during her short stay and finds the city
pleasing to her. She likes the hotel and
was somewhat surprised to find such an
up-to-date hostelry In the far West.
Mrs. Cruger now lives at No. 2506 K
street, Washington, having moved from
New York, where, after her husband's
death, she found little to bind her there.
She has a lease on a historic residence
in the capital, where she finds it quite
gay enough for a time, with a multitude
of social personages and many big
gatherings. Mrs. Cruger. who is quite
a belle, takes an Interest In society in
the West, and inquired about the Winter
events here. She intends to attend the
dog show, which opens Wednesday.
Mrs. Cruger was born in Paris." of
American parents, her maiden name be
ing Julie Grlnnell Cruger. She writes
under the name of "Julien Gordon." She
married Colonel Van Rensselaer Cruger,
the prominent New Yorker. Among her
works are: "A Wedding and Other
Stories." "A Diplomat's Daughter."
"Poppaea." "A Successful Man." "Eat
Not Thy Heart." "Mademoiselle Reseda."
"A Puritan Pagan," "Mrs. Clyde." "The
Wage of Character." "World's People,"
poems. She says she may bring out a
small book of poems at some later time,
but has no book in view Just now.
H 3 ORAKER'S political star Is In the
I descendent," said W W. Simmons
of Columbus, the storm center of Ohio
politics, last night at the Oregon Hotel.
"It was currently reported Just before I
started West, that John Malloy. one of
Foraker's ablest lieutenants, was getting
lukewarm, with a strong probability that
he would make a Jump for the Roosevelt
band-waon. If the question of the issue
between Roosevelt and Foraker were left
to the people for "a decision, Roosevent
would be sustained by an overwhelming
majority. Republicans of Ohio are
becoming tired of the Foraker-Dick ma
chine, and they like the Roosevelt square
deal policy. Taft Is popular in Ohio. His
father. Judge Taft. of Cincinnati, was
held in high esteem by Ohioans during
.
his lifetime, and the son is a chip of the
old block.
"Dick. Foraker's chief henchman, is
not popular. He is Bald to owe many
small debts, and is practically a stranded
politician. His only hold on the party is
through and by the power of the ma
chine, behind which is Foraker's person
ality. Foraker, himself, is wealthy, and
outside of his law practice, the most of
his wealth Is said to have come to him,
through corporations. In return for Influ
ence exerted in their benalf in the Ohio
Legislature. You oem put it down that
the Republican voters of Ohio will stand
by Roosevelt and Taft," concluded Mr.
Simmons, "and if you will take a tip
from me. it will be Roosevelt for a second-elective
term."
Mr. Simmons is Interested in mining in
the Pacific Northwest.
Robhed by Two Footpads.
G. T. Sneff of No. 394 Columbia street
was held up and robbed of $2 at Tenth
and Main streets about 10:63 o'clock last
night by two highwaymen. Sneff says
he was on his way home and, as he
started to cross Tenth street at Main,
the two men approached him and pre
sented a revolver, demanding his money.
The footpads are described as young and
wearing dark overcoats.
Finds Missing Witnesses.
Miss Mary E. Clay, who alleges she lost
her purse c6ntainlng about $100 In gold at
the Merchants Hotel on the night of No
vember 4, 1906, and was defeated in her
suit against the hotel proprietors before
Judge Frazer in the Circuit Court on
April 20 last, yesterday filed a motion for
a new trial on the grounds that she has
discovered new evidence. At the time
of the first trial. Miss Clay says in the
motion two of her principal witnesses,
Cecil Johnson and J. E. Damond could
not be located. Now she says she hs
found them, and they both depose that
they are willing to testify "on her behalf.
She asks that a new trial be granted on
account of new ei'ldence.
Civil Cases Set for Trial.
Judge Wolverton yesterday set two
civil cases for trial In the United
States Circuit Court, when the trial
Jury veports next week. The cases are
