did not receive any of -;he stolen wire
after he had instructed the boys to get
it for him In any way possible.
Bight lads ranging in years from 9
to 16 were summoned from Cascade
Locks to testify against Smith. The
same boys testified at the preliminary
hearing before Municipal Judge Cameron
that Smith had told them to get wire for
him, even by theft. In yesterday's trial
their testimony deviated from their for
mer statements and in the main was the
cause of Smiths acquittal.
Throughout the hearing the boys sup
plied fun for the court officials and spec
tators. They insisted on addressing Dep
ity District Attorney Moser as "Ma'am."
Judge Sears questioned a boy on the
stand: "Is your school teacher at Cas
cade Locks a man or a woman?" The
lad answered, "A lady, ma'am."
Several of the juvenile witnesses ac
knowledged selling copper wire and one
of their number asserted that he had re
ceived but one cent for a quantity of
wire he had gathered up.
by a car. The car in question was
fitted with the latest pattern fender

case was heard on the alleged careless
ness of the motorman, who ran over the

during the trial in the morning keen in
terest was taken in the proceedings. The
Chinese interpreter wept while translat
ing the father's story to the jury. Trie
mother of the dead boy ran from the
room in a burst of grief and several of
the spectators were affected.

tioned the Circuit Court yesterday for a
divorce. She requests the custody of her

shelter for herself and younger daughter

daughter, now married, she alleges, re

lesve him later because of his neglect.
Mrs. Harper crowns her accusations
against her husband by declaring that he

Clara Wencel prays for a divorce from

of the cruelty alleged by the wife Is her
husband's habit of calling her a fool, a
term she says he Invariably used, pre
ceded by an adjective. She asks to be
allowed to resume her maiden name,
Clara Jennings. The Wencels were mar
ried April 26. 1902.
Mrs. Julia Reeves says she is the victim
of an able-bodied carpenter who will not
work. She alleges that Mathias Reeves

to be allowed $30 a mouth alimony. They

Jury In the case of Wong Kim against
the Portland Railway Light & Power
Company returned a verdict for $500 in

MUST APPEAR NEXT MONDAY
Federal Authorities Ferve Notice on
Indicted Furniture Dealers.
Tn order to prevent unnecessary ex
pense and to save members of the al
leged furniture trust on the Pacific
Coast the ignominy of arrest, bench
warrants will not' be issued for their
appearance r.nless it Is necessary.
This move has been decided upon ac
cording to Assistant United States At
torney Cole.
Alleged members of the combine
named In the indictments will be given
until Monday to present themselves in
the Federal Court. Those who fail to
put in an appearance to state where
they stand will be served with war
rants. Mr. Cole said yesterday that several
local furiture men had presented them
selves, but refused further Informa
tion. He believes that most, if not all,
of the men named In" the indictments
will voluntarily present themselves.
"It is probable that many of the
small dealers have been forced to go
into the combine or go out of busi
ness," he said yesterday. "It will be
a matter of finding out the leaders in
forming the monopoly, but while all
will be heard in court, it is upon the
instigators that the weight will fall."

Kesult9 Given by The Oregonian Are
Slightly Changed In But
Two Precincts.
Dr. Harry Lane defeated Thomas C.
Devlin for Mayor by exactly 643 votes.
This is the result of the official count as
made yesterday afternoon by the election
board, consisting of County Clerk Fields,
Justice of the Peace Reed and Deputy
Auditor Lotan. The board finished
checking up the vote for all of the city
offices, but only footed up totals on the
offices- of Mayor, City Auditor, City
Treasurer and City Attorney. The count
will probably not be completed, including
all of the amendments, until late this
afternoon or tomorrow.
A discrepancy of only two votes exists
between the official count for Mayor and
the unofficial returns as published in The
Oregonian. Lane s vote is 8583, exactly
as was published. Devlin lost two in Pre
cinct 0 and one in Precinct 26. In Pre
cinct 54 he gained one vote, making his
total 7910. Baldwin received 127 votes for
Mayor, and Dorfman 269, exactly as was
published.
Only a few were present while the offi
cial count was In progress yesterday, the
pluraltles of all the successful candidates
being so large that there was little chance
of the results being changed. Mayor
I-ane watched the count closely, but Mr.
Devlin was not present, being represent
ed by his deputy, Mr. Ixtan. Today the
vote on the remaining city offices will be
footed up. after which the board will take
up the amendments and Initiative ordi
nances. With the exception of Mayor,
the count so far as it has progressed fol

XEW OFFICIALS LEARN ROPES
Prepare for Change in City Hall
Next Month.
The men elected last Monday to become
members of the city's official family In
July are now busy familiarizing them
selves with the duties of their respective
offices. . A. L. Barbur, the newly elected
City Auditor, spent considerable time
yesterday in the office of Auditor Devlin
informing himself as to the routine du
ties. The routine of the Auditor's office
is complicated, and it is probable that Mr.
Barbur ,will spend much of his time
there during the next month. It would
be almost Impossible for a new Auditor
to take up his work If It were not for the
assistance of the deputies, who are in
close touch with the requirements.
John P. Kavanaugh, City Attorney
elect, was also a visitor at the City Hall
yesterday. Mr. Kavanaugh will be re
quired to attend most of the meetings of
the Council and Executive Board commit
tees, and yesterday, as a beginning, he
attended the session of the fire commit
tee. He Informed the committee that he
would make it a point to attend meet-4
ings regularly hereafter in order to get
in touch with the work of the various departments.

A Business
Proposition
By reason of its natural position, and its ready accessibility a 20-minute car ride
from the heart of the city it is bound to be the home section of the elite the Lake
Shore Drive settlement of Portland. When Potter Palmer first honsrht. a hnme-
site on Chicago's famous Lake Shore Drive, he paid a very small sum (comparatively) for it. Some
people thought he and Marshall Field and others of their kind rather foolish to put money into lots
out there where nothing much was doing, but these far-sighted young men saw that the natural
direction of Chicago's expansion must be that way, so there they bought, and there their few dollars
grew into thousands and millions. Irvington Park will repeat Potter Palmer's experience for every
purchaser who holds on. Its location is pronounced unquestionably the choicest in Portland for
homes of the wealthy by real estate experts whose judgment is not biased by personal interests.
