TROUBLES INCREASE FOR "MYS
TERIOUS BILLY" SMITH.
His Latest Nuptials Solemnized Be
fore Judge Fraier Had Freed
llim From First Wife.
Mysterious Billy" Smith's hasty ac
tion in marrying at Oregon City last Sat
urday afternoon within 2 hours after
Mamie Smith had apparently been legal
Iv separated from him may be grounds
tor a bigamy charge against the pugilist,
tailor boardinghouse master and saloon
keeper While Mrs. Mamie Smith was
heard In the divorce, court last Friday
morning the findings awarding her a
decree were not signed until yesterday
morning by Circuit Judge Fraser and the
document bears the date June 10, 1907,
two days later than "Mysterious Billy's"
second wedding. Judge Fraser asserts
Smith Is technically guilty of bigamy. It
being a rule of the Circuit Court not to
pronounce divorce decisions until the
findings are prepared and Bigned.
When it was learned. that "Mysterious
Billy" had re-wed the day after the di
vorce proceedings had been heard. It was
contended by practitioners he. had made
himself amenable to the law by disre
garding the prohibitive six months pro
vided In divorce decrees. About this
point, however, there was doubt. The
legal status of "Mysterious Billy's" pres
tnt tangle Is beyond refutation. Jurists
nd attorneys asserting emphatically di
vorce decrees are effective only from the
Sate of their approval in writing. At
torney B. B. Miller, who represented
Mrs. Smith in obtaining separation from
ber spouse, said yesterday he believed the
order of Judge Fraser to him last Friday
to prepare the findings sufficed to legal
ise the separation of the Smiths from
that day.
Mrs. Smith was given a divorce decree
on the grounds of desertion and her ap
pearance In court to uphold her divorce
complaint marked the third suit of the
Smiths in Portland. "Mysterious Billy"
sued her for divorce a year ago, the case
being dismissed by Judge Sears. Two
months later Mrs. Smith sued him for
maintenance, obtaining Judgment for
J37.50 a month. She stipulated later with
"Myaterlous Billy" to receive a certain
sura and a piece of property In lieu of
support toy Installments. An order was
given Friday by Judge Fraser to prepare
lindlnga- la her favor, two women neigh
bors corroborating desertion, as set forth
in her complaint.
A dispatch from Oregon City last Satur
day afternoon announced that "Mysteri
ous Billy" had taken out a license to wed
Mies Josephine Barde and that. the mar
riage ceremony was performed quietly by
County Judge Grant B. Dlmlck.
In such cases the statutes of Oregon
permit anyone having knowledge of the
tacts to prefer a charge -of bigamy
against the persons concerned. Owing
to the enmity that has apparently existed
between "Mysterious Billy" and Mamie
Smith, it Is believed the latter may be
inclined to swear to a bigamy complaint.
DRIVES COWS TO STATION
Patrolman Roberts Freely Joked by
' Fellow Officers.
After nearly 20 years In harness as a
member of Portland's "finest," Patrol
man Griff Roberts finally managed to
signally distinguish himself as a driver
of cows, when to the great delight of
four or more of his fellow officers, he
appeared at Second and Oak streets Sun
day night, marshaling a quartet of
more or less unruly young bovtnes.
Heretofore the glory for conducting
cattle to the central station has been
equally shared by Sergeant Johnson,
Patrolman Keith, Burchell, Ben Peterson
and Glttlngs, and much to their relief
Griff Roberts succeeded in eclipsing any
previous performance of the kind on rec
ord. Roberts picked up the barnyard quartet
on Vancouver avenue. Unfortunately for
him they were refused admittance at the
Livestock: Exchange, and he was forced
to parade them before, the admiring gaze
of his brother officers at the station.
While standing guard over his herd,
amidst the pouring rain, and exoeedlngly
angry over his long tramp, Roberts was
forced to listen to the advice hurled at
him by the heroes of former cow-marshalling
escapades.
Captain Slover, by means of the tele
phone, finally secured quarters In a near
by stable, and Patrolman Roberts was
ordered to convey his "prisoners" to this
place and leave them to be called for by
the owners.

beth C. Daubner, of Wilmette, III., was

limb may be necess&rx.
PLANS NEARLY COMPLETE
CELEBRATION COMMITTEE WILL
MEET TOXIGHT.
Indications That Fourth of July
Festivities Will Surpass Anything
Attempted for Years Past.
The Fourth o' July will be celebrated in
Portland this year in a more elaborate
manner than for years past. A1J the
subcommittees have made their reports
covering the different features, with the
exceptions of out-door sports, literary
and music committees. These have been
delayed pending a final report from the
soliciting committee, but as that commit
tee will make a report tonight covering
the amount subscribed and funds in pros
pect, it is said at headquarters that every
detail can then be arranged..
Frank D. Nlcklin, assistant secretary of
the general committee, has established
his quarters in the assembly-room of the
Chamber of Commerce, with Miss Edith
M. MoCrea acting as stenographer, where
the different committees will be enabled

The railroad companies have announced
a rate from interior points of one and
onerthird fare to Portland covering the
dates from July i to 6 inclusive, the mini
mum fare being 50 cents full fare and 25

Work on the official programme will be
undertaken tomorrow by Lee M. Clark, to
whom the contract was awarded at the
last meeting of the general committee.
In addition to the posters the railroad
companies will distribute to the station
agents of the various lines, the committee
Intends to have an elaborate poster print
ed for placing at all points from which
visitors are expected to attend the cele
b ration. A local advertising firm has
agreed to donate $1000. in the work- of

The meeting tonight in the Chamber of
Commerce is to be of all the subcommit
tees, and the officers of the general com
mittee express the hope that a full at
tendance may be had.
The officers desire public notice to be
made that any persona who have any
business or suggestions to make concern
ing the celebration should call at the
Fourth of July headquarters, assembly-
room, second floor, Chamber of Commerce.
TALKS OF HAYWOOD CASE
Rev. James Russell Occupied Room
Above Harry Orchard.
Rev. James Russell, of the Presby
terian synod of California, who has
been engaged in evangelistic work in
the San Joaquin Valley, addressed the
regular meeting of the Presbyterian
ministers at the First Presbyterian
Church yesterday morning, telling some
of his experiences in connection with
Orchard and the Haywood case when
Orchard was in Caldwell Just prior to
the murder of ex-Governor Steunen
berg. Rev. Mr. Russell was in the Pacific
Hotel at Caldwell on the night of the
assassination, occupying a room direct
ly above the one in which Orchard and
Simpklns were when they manufac
tured the bomb that killed Steunen
berg. After the address by Rev. Mr. Rus
sell, Rev. Abram H. Burkholder, of the
Trinity Presbyterian Church, spoke on
"Denominational Papers." This was
followed by an Informal discussion of
the subject.
At the meeting of the Methodist min
isters, which was held at the Taylor
Street Church, Rev. W. B. Hollingshead
read a paper entitled, "What Do the
People of Today Demand of the
Preacher?"
The Baptist preachers held their
meeting in the Y. M. C. A. building,
and after hearing a . number of re
ports from local churches. Dr. J. Whit
comb Brougher and Dr. C. A. Wooddy
gave an account of their trip East, tell
ing of incidents at the conventions
which they atended.
THINKS WAR CLOUD MYTH
Vice-Consul Aiba Discredits Kumor
of Japanese Plot.
Tsunejl Aiba, the Japanese Vice-Consul
in Portland, thinks that not much credit
can be placed upon the stories ot a war
plot In the Sunrise Kingdom. " He said
yesterday that he does not think the
Progressive party is strong enough to do
anything in the way of. stirring up trou
ble. 'even if It would.
"Of course," Mr. Alba, said, "this party
Is dissatisfied with the existing adminis
tration, but,'' he added, "did you ever
see a party which held to all the beliefs
of their opponents?
"There is considerable grumbling by
the Progressives with the. way affairs are
conducted in the home country and
abroad,' but I do not place any credit in
the stories that an uprising Is brewing.
This thing is altogether new to me. The
first intimation T had that anything of
the kind was n the wind was what I
read in the paper this morning, and I do
not place much faith In it. I have had
no information or instructions from the
government in regard to it.
"The whole trouble is that the leaders
of this party want positions in the gov
ernment, and naturally they will do all
they can to create sentiment in their fa
vor. I do not believe the government
will recall Viscount Aokl, for their is
no cause for such action."

THREATENED BY NEIGHBORS
Montavilla Woman Complains to Po
lice She Fears for Her Life.
- After enduring the threats of her
neighbors that they would dynamite
her house, and after her grandson was
badly cut by boys of the neighborhood,
Mrs. Mary Estes, now living at 326 Hlb
bard street, appealed to the police yes
terday morning for protection. Cap
tain Morse sent Mounted Policeman
Gustafson to the scene to investigate.
It is probable that as a result some
arrests will be made.
Mrs. Estes owne a home that oc
cupies a position at the head of Pearl
street, in Montavilla, to which the
neighbors greatly object, according to
the story related to Policeman Gustaf
son yesterday by her. She declared to
the officer that she fears for her life,
and demanded police protection from
those whom she declares have ald
they would blow up her house with
dynamite, unless she moves it out of
the street.
According to a written report t
Captain Moore by Policeman Gustaf
son, Mrs. Estes purchased the ground
for her home long ago, before any
streets had been surveyed. For a
month the neighbors have been threat
ening to destroy It, she stated to the
officer.
Since she paid no heed to the threats
Mrs. Estes says the boys of the com
munity attacked her grandson ohe
night recently. In a scuffle that, fol
lowed, he was aeriously stabbed. He
Is now lying at' his parents' home in
a serious condition.
Further Investigation is to be made,
and the police will advise the woman
to swear to complaints against those
who have made threats against her
and her home.
