LITTLE GIRL LOST
TO
Attempt of Fanatical Foster
Parents to Get Child
Defeated.
RETURNS TO ALBANY FARM
Jury of Six in State Court Declares
Edna SHngerland, Trance Me
dium of Tongues of Fire, a
Delinquent Child.
Little Edna Slingerland, who was taken
from her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs.
TV. A. SHngerland. by the Juvenile Court
six months ago. that she might be out
from under the Influence of the Tongues
of Fire devotees, was yesterday declared
by a Jury of six 1n the Circuit Court to
be a delinquent child, and subject to the
order of the court. She will be this
morning again remanded by Judge Frazer
to the custody of V. T. Gardner, super
intendent of the Boys" and Girls- Aid So
ciety, and will probably be sent to live
on a ranch near Albany, where she has
been having excellent care for the past
six months. ,
SHngerland himself took the stand yes
terday afternoon, and his testimony did
not tend to win the Jury to his side of tke
case. As he stepped forward, and Ve
clerk raised his hand to swear the wit
ness, SHngerland said excitedly, "I will
not." "'You may confirm the witness
then," said Judge Frazer.
A letter' threatening Judge Frazer with
the loss of one of . his children if he did
not deliver up little Edna to SHngerland,
written by her foster parent a short time
after she was taken from him, was intro
duced as evidence. Deputy District At-
torney Robert Galloway was questioning
SHngerland. and rose to read the letter
to the jury after SHngerland had Identi
fied it. but said his voice would not per
mit. "I will read it," said Judge Frazer,
but before he could do so SHngerland
reached for the paper, stood up before the
jury, and said:
Received Message From God.
"Every word of this is God's truth.
I was directed by God to write that letter.
This is a message from God to you, Mr.
Frazer, and do you heed it? Unless you
deliver to me my little girl immediately
God will take from you one of your little
girls, and that right soon."
He continued to read from the letter
a number of texts of Scripture, and wlten
questioned by members of the jury said
that he-believed Judge Frazer held the
same position us Hainan of the book of
I-hther when he erected a gallows for
himself.
"How did ydu receive this message?"
came from the Jury box. "Wa it oral
or written?"
"I received it from God," said SHng
erland. as he glared at the juror. "It
came through one of his servants. I
was directed by God to write that let
ter." During the giving of his testimony
SHngerland had a number of tilts with
the lawyers, and although he was not
on the etand more than 10 minutes had
to be excused to get a drink. He tes
tified that the little girl would go into
the trances during family worship,
that he had een her in several, when
she would see angels, and would run
about the room to catch them. After
she awoke from the trance she would
Know nothing that had happened, but
would be very weak. If she saw no
angels when in the trance the girl
would talk or write in a jargon which
no one could understand, although
SHngerland said a Chinese boy was
brought out to the house and said he
could make out four of the characters
she made.
t Trances of Little Girl.
The trouble began, according to the
testimony of various witnesses, when
Edna was sent to Mrs. A. Barton's home
on Holladay avenue for a few days
while Mrs. SHngerland was away nurs
ing a Mrs. Smith. Mrs. SHngerland was
away from home four weeks beginning
December IS, 1906. The testimony
Bhowed that at various times the
leaders of the Tangled Tongues held
services at the Barton home, at which
Edna was present.
"Have you ever discussed visions be
fore the child?" asked Attorney Gallo
way, of Mr. SHngerland. !
"Yes, sir."
"During the time you visited at Mrs.
Barton's has she ever been in one of
these trances?"
"Yes, sir, that's what you call triem."
"Well, what do you call them?" re
torted Mr. Galloway.
SHngerland admitted he had never
named them in his own mind.
"That's a Bible term, and it's all right
he said.
SHngerland said he did not know
whether he would have the power to see
i-isicns in tne future or not. but that God
was leading him. He said the girl had
:he trances from about Christmas time
until she was stolen from him by Judge
Frazer.
"But didn't Judge Frazer let you take
the girl upon the promise of your wife
that you would keep her away from the
fanatical influence of the Tongues of Fire
sect and that you would not have any
more meetings at Mrs. Barton's?" con
:inued Mr. Galloway.
"There never was a called meeting at
Mrs Barton s.
"Well, you needn't be so technical
ibout it," said Mr. Galloway.

"v5hoV doing this testifying, you or
me?"
"You are. proceed."
"Did you know a fellow by the name of
Joseph A. Burrows."
"I knew a gentleman by that name,
yes. sir. not a fellow."
"Did he follow the child around the
room during her trances?"
"He did at the time he waa there with
her."
"You had a conversation with the child
afterwards. What did she say?"
"She said she could not remember any
thing that had happened."
When Mrs. SHngerland took the stand
and told of her arrest and appearance
before the Juvenile Court, SHngerland was
heard to exclaim: "Oh, God!" so great
was his mental anguish. In a few min
utes his wife was engaged in a word
battle with Judge Frazer over the trans
attions of the court last Winter and the
Instructions given her to properly care
for the girl.
Judge Frazer Takes Stand.
Judge Frazer then . took the witness
stand himself and told the Jury all the
happenings at the time the girl was given
nto the custody of the Boys' and Girls
Aid Society, much to the excitement and
chagrin of SHngerland, who Jumped up
and said: "I deny that: I want to make
statement." He was told by his at
torney, V. K. Strode, to be quiet.
Jdna herself was then placed on the
stand and told the jury she did not want
to go back to live with the Slingerlands
under the' circumstances: that the leaders
of the Tongues of Fire Influenced her un
duly, and that when she came out of the
ranees she felt very weak. She said
she was happy at her new home near
Albany, and hoped she could go back
Monday.
'You see, I don't want to go back to
morrow, because this has not been very
much of a vacation to me yet." she said.
Those trances were all foolishness, but
thought because other folks could go
into them f could, too."
Other witnesses were T. L. Grave. W.
Williamson and J. St. Johns, roomers at
Mrs. Barton's at the time Enda was
there, and Miss Simpson and Miss Fail-
ng. her schoolteachers. The Jury was as
follows: H. D. Kilham. James Frainey,
A. H. Knutson. T. E. Martin. Grant Tur
ner and P. McDonald. They are all men
of families and business men.
EMPTY BEER KEGS LEVIED OX
Property of Olympla Brewery Held
Because of Damage Suit.
It is probable that the embargo on
empty beer kegs commenced by the
Sheriff, who is holding four carloads
of them at the Northern Pacific freight
heds pending the trial of the suit for
$40,000 against the Olympla Brewing
Company by the Olympla Bottling
Works, of which S. M. Blumauer is
president, will be raised today when
the big firm gives bonds to the court.
As soon as the suit had been filed
the property of the company within
the jurisdiction of the court was gar
nisheed. but the only thing that could
be found was the returning empty beer
kegs. These are now held awaiting the
court's action.
The brewing company tried to get its
kegs by issuing bonds to the railroad
company freeing it from all respon
sibility, and it was about to ship the
kegs out when the Sheriff notified its
agents that all parties to such action
on its part would be arrested for con
tempt of court. The result is the
kegs are still on hand.
CITY OFFICIALS CLASH
Board of Health and Council Dis
agree Over Garbage Crematory.
The Board of Health and the City
Council are at outs. The trouble Is all
over whether the city shall repair the
old and wornout garbage crematory.
the view held by the Council, or
whether the city shall select a new
site and build a modern establishment
large enough not only for present but
for future needs. For some time past
refuse has accumulated at the old
plant at the rate of 50 tons a week
beyond the capacity of the crematory,
and has been left to perfume the air, to
the doubtful delight of people for a
mile around.
The Board yesterday passed a reso
lution refusing to be responsible
longer for such a condition of affairs,
nd put the matter squarely up to the
Council. The Board says that without
a proper burning plant it is' Impossible
for It to do anything with a condition
that is threatening the health of the
city. It is said' the Council dodges the
matter, because each Councilman re
fuses flatly to allow tne proposed
crematory to be erected in his ward.
Astoria Calls In Warrants.

OAK STREET SOCIAL HAPPENINGS
' -
SOCIETY GOES IN TOR AQUATIC SPORTS POPULAR COUPLE CELEBRATE THEIR CRYSTAL WED
DING. ANNIVERSARY MR. PEARSON MAY RUN TOR THE SENATE.
w
ITH the advent of oppressively
hot weather Oak street society
is rather inclined to eBchew the
greater part of its accustomed gaieties.
Sundry receptions and entertainments
occur only as eocial necessity dictates,
and at Infrequent intervals. The one
manner of entertainment to be quite in
vogue at this time is schoonerlng.
This delightful form of aquatic p-ast-time
is becoming more and more pop
ular daily and has replaced yachting
altogether among the truly fashion
able. Yachting parties, to be sure, may
have " their interest for dislngenlous
millionaires, but well-bred, conserv
ative Oak street is impelled, 'by the
force of its more highly developed
esthetic nature, to confine Its atten
tion to sehoonering. Sitting out in the
hot sun in a 10 horse-power yacht or
launch may be regarded as pleasurable
aquatic sport by some immature ple
bians. But it cannot be compared in
its capacity for producing pleasurable
sensations to the piloting of a foaming
five mule-power schooner across some
cool, placid bar far removed from
scenes of water.
One of the notable sehoonering
parties of the season was that given
by Mme. F. Nugent on Wednesday of
this week. In all Its appointments
this affair was elegant; from the ca
pacious schooners provided fr the de
lectation of guests on down to the
plentltude of floor space reserved
most considerately for those wljo might
in the course of the evening become
seasick. The affair was held in the
splendid Nugent apartments on Fourth
street, near Burnside. Mme. Nugent
wore an exquisite frock of embroidered
purple- gauze over Egyptian crochet
with a pink hat done in green giraffe
feathers set -off with yellow hippo
potamus wings and a da-ab of creme

County and a large number of other citi
zens met In the Grange Hall here today
and formed an organization, the object of
which will be to establish and conduct
a permanent county fair. The meeting
was held in pursuance to a call issued by
Gresham Grange and was called to order
by J. F. Roberts, who stated the objects
of the meeting.
J. J. Johnson, master of Evening Star
Grange, was elected chairman and E. L.
Thorp secretary. Mr. Johnson called for
an expression of ideas and the sentiment
was unanimous for the organization of a
county fair on permanent lines and with
a scope broad enough to Include every
Industry.
Outlines, Gresham's Plans.
Timothy Brownhill outlined the plans of
Gresham Grange in the matter, .which are
to have exhibits of stock, produce and
Implements, combined with an educational
institute and carnival. He said that suit
able grounds for this year had been
promised free of charge by Dr. A Thomp
son and the trustees of the Baptist
Church, and that Gresham Grange hall
could also be had.
W. W. Cotton, of Portland, addressed
the meeting, saying that the affair could
and would be made a success, but that
the promoters must start in with the idea
of losing money at first, as the fair was
to be held mainly for the purpose of ad
vertising the county's resources.
Other speakers advance similar views,
among them being H. Wi Snashall, A. F.
Muller. F. H. Crane. John Sleret and the
chairman, all of whom are masters of
different granges. A. I.. Stone. Theodore
Brugger, Lwls Shattuck and B. C. Alt-
de menthe. Miss Babe Ray wore a yel
low lingerie costume, hand-embroidered.
She received many compliments on her
charming appearance, the one criticism
being offered that her beauty would
have appeared to better advantage set
oft by a full velvet veil. Miss Clara
was charming in a smart mauve linen
costume studded with rhlnestones.
She wore an attractively hand-painted
hat with complexion of the same ma
terial. The other ladiee also wore
dresses, while each of the gentlemen
apeared to fine advantage in a suit of
clothes.
Dainty kegs of cool beer were served
in enormous Dutch schooners, after
which there "was a noise fiesta in which
Mr. Nugent won first prize, making
himself heard seven blocks. Imme
diately after this the party repaired in
a covered tally-ho to the Hotel' Cam
eron where their names were inscribed
in the Oak-street blue book. Mr. Cam
eron Insisted that all sbould remain as
his guests for a week, and since the
kind host would not take no for an
answer the invitation was accepted.
The gentlemen of the party were
driven, yesterday afternoon, to fash
ionable Kelly's Butte where they will
spend the week playing rock-golf.

MR. AND MRS. ,E. BARLEYCORN
HAWKES. celebrated their crystal
wedding anniversary yesterday morn
ing. The celebration proved a delight
ful social event, and a score or more
Oak-street friends were present to of--fer
felicitations at this memorable
stage in their married career.
The crystal wedding marks the com
pletion of , the . second week of mar
ried life. During this long period It
is said that neither the happy hus
band nor wife has required the serv
ices of a surgeon In, consequence of
domestic pleasantries, and the police
have been called to their home but
twice to Interfere in their exchange of
I man also indorsed the plans, and- it was
decided to go ahead with the work at
once and prepare exhibits.
Local Merchants to Help.
Several of the leading merchants of
Gresham announced .that they would
erect all necessary pavilions for ex
hibits of all kinds and stock pens for
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
On motion of Mr. Brownhill it was
decided to hold the Multno"mah Grange I
Fair and Carnival for four days, be
ginning October 15. It was decided to
make the fair, in a way. a mutual in
stitution for this year, but the asso
ciation will be incorporated and placed
on a different basis before another sea-
All the foregoing preliminaries hav
ing been settled, it was moved by Mr.
Cotton that the masters of the ten
granges of the county bo chosen as
a board of directors, the membership
to be increased to 15 by the addition
of the masters of Multnomah County
Pomona and four others not members
of the order.
Favor Fifteen Directors.
The motion was carried and the ap
pointments made by the chairman. Be
sides the masters the other four mem
bers of the board are: Charles Cleve
land. H. E. Davis, Louts Dechmann and
R. Wilson.
The board will have full charge of
every feature and department and each
master will be chairman of a commit
tee to be appointed at the next meet-
lng. The other four were given as
signments as follows: H. E. Davis,
chairman of committee on agriculture;
Charles Cleveland, committee on dairy
stock; Louis Dechmann, committee on
horticulture; R. Wilson, committee on
horses and livestock.
Besides these assignments three
other committees were named and
chairmanships filled. They are: Do
mestic science, Mrs. H. L. Vail; dairy
ing. B. C. Altman; fancy work, Mrs.
E. M. Douglass.
Organizatldn Is Permanent.
The board of directors then proceeded to
form a permanent organization by the se
lection of J. J. Johnson as president and
E. L. Thorp, secretary. The First State
Bank was elected treasurer. A. F. Miller
was made general superintendent of all
exhibits.
It was decided to offer prizes for all
entries and to charge an admission to the
grounds. This will be necessary in order
to raise money for the cash premiums.
It was announced that several promi
nent business houses of Portland had
made offers of donations as premiums,
one Implement house offering a farm
wagon as a prize. Others will be asked
to do likewise and to exhibit their wares.
Mayor Short, of Gresham, who was not
present, sent word that he would give
$100 to assist the enterprise. Others are
known who will make liberal donations
and the fair, It is thought, is sure to be
a success, if finances count for anything.
Kallroad to Assist.
Mr. Cotton looked over the proposed
mutual courtesies. They usually set
tle their trifling matters without the
assistance of furniture or cooking
utensils.
Mr. and Mrs. Hawkes were presented
with a number of handsome crystal
ornaments appropriate to the occa
sion. The list .of presents included
four dozen 16-pz. schooners, six empty
decanters, and 12 dozen occupied bot
tles. Mr. Hawkes Is a popular and
prosperous bartender, while Mrs.
Hawkes is noted for her"" fine intel
lectuality and brilliant gowns.
OAK STREET may put out a candi
date for the United States Senate
in the person of Hon. Jason Sourbald
Pearson, the eminent bacteriologist and
expert on lnsectlvora, who lately took
the vigorous scientific stand that all
liquor swarms with bacteria and should
be consumed as rapidly as possible.
Mr. Pearson has not yet announced
his candidacy, but his conduct is taken
to mean that he is occupied with acute
political aspirations. Of late he has
become excessively - polite, and has a
cheerful word for everyone.- including
his wife. He is so generally kind and
generous that his conduct can be taken
to have but the one significance, un
less, of course, he has invaded the
realm of mandragora or courted the
fiend cocaine. His continued and
unvaried politeness and considera
tion for everyone, however, gives
his friends to believe that political
aspirations are the stimulus, since
periods of physical reaction would un
avoidably follow use of narcotics.
Oak street will approve of his can
didacy in event it Is confirmed, for it
is very much desired by Oak-street

place Frame Structure.
The damage done to the building, at the
northeast corner of Sixth and Stark
streets, Sunday night by fire is to be
repaired as speedily as possible by the
owners, Russell & BIyth. There were
rumors that the firm Intended to raze
the damaged building. and erect a modern
office structure on the site, but it was
given out at the firm's office yesterday
that no such plans are In contemplation,
for the present at least.
Among real estate men a great deal of
complaint Is heard over the delay in
grading Stark street from its intersection
with. Twelfth through to Burnside. The
old buildings were removed from the
condemned property some time ago, but
work seems to be held up in the City
Engineers office for some reason un
known to those most interested In the im
provement.
Midsummer dullness In real estate deal
ings is the report from all offices. With
out exception, however, agents say that
by September 1 Portland will experience
the greatest activity in real estate ever
known In its history. Several leading
firms report they have important deals
pending that may be closed before the
end of the month.
One of the most important alterations
announced is that of the Ainsworth
block at the northwest corner of Third
and Oak streets. The I'nited States Na
tional Bank, of which Mr. Ainsworth Is
president, occupies the first floor and the
plans about completed provide more space
for the bank. Additional stories are also
provided for In the plans submitted.
When the work is started it is intended
to install an air-purif ying plant, similar
to those in use with satisfactory results

Corbett building.

closed a deal through which he acquired

timber lands. In what is considered one

Girl Deputy Cupid Meets
Her Waterloo
Minn Stadelman, of County Clerk's
Office, Tries to Issue Marrlase
LIceDse and Learns Something
About Names.
EVERYONE who has lived to the years
of accountability knows that Cupid is
a boy, and it Is a 'hard matter to con
vince honest people to th contrary, for
have they not seen his picture and read
about .the wonderful effects produced by
the arrows from his little quiver? When
Cupid lingers at the Courthouse he usu
ally goes under the name of "Rose;"
sometimes It Is "Christiansen." But
when he tried to disguise himself yester
day under the feminine garb he met with
crushing failure.
He chose for the victim' Frances Sta
delman, for It was she who wished to
make out a marriage license "just to learn
how." It was only a short time until a
likely looking gentleman stepped up and
announced that he wished a license to
wed. Upon being politely asked his name,
he twisted his tongue ' around "Pryzy
bylske." Miss Stadelman does not know
how be did it,
"Will you please spell it?" came the
prompt request.
Even then it was too much for a novice,
so Mr. Mike Pryzybylske was requested
to write it himself.
"And now what is the lady's name,
please?"
"Stellia Szerszesenska."
"Well, I guess you had better write that
in the book, too."
The name once down In the license reg
ister, it was spelled out letter by letter on
the license by the wobbly pen of Dame

OFFICE MEN
SCARCE
Railroads in Pacific Northwest
Need Help.
STATION AGENTS RESIGN
Find Better Opportunities In Busi
ness for Themselves Ticket
Sellers Also Hard to Keep
at Present Salaries.
Railroads of the Pacific Northwest are
having great difficulty In getting local
agents at their small stations, and in se
curing ticket agents to fill vacancies. It
seems almost impossible to secure men to
take the places of those who are con
stantly leaving to go Into other business.
The Southern Pacific and O. R. & N.
officials say they have never had so
much trouble to get capable men to per
form these duties as at present. All
lines of Industry are so prosperous
throughout the Pacific Northwest that
there are big Inducements for the rail
road agents to drop into other positions
that are better paid than railroad work.
There are a dozen vacancies on the
lines of the O. R. & N. alone that could
be offered to capable agents. Among the
larger stattons where agents have re
signed during the past few - weeks are
Baker City, Pendleton, Colfax and Day
ton. Many smaller towns are also In
need of local agents.
Ticket clerks are In great demand. It
seems that they connot be had. Sal
aries are not so high in this line as men
of equal ability can command In other
vocations and there Is a general deser
tion from the ranks. In every depart
ment of railroading, except that of traf
fic, there are organizations of. the. men
which compel increases In salaries. But
there Is no union among ticket clerks or
local agents and the consequence Is that
firemen and brakemen get advances while
the wages paid the traffic men do not
Increase.
Since commissions have been eliminated
another source of profit for the ticket
clerk has been cut off, and with the en
forcement of the new railroad laws
whereby a ticket clerk is responsible for
his own mistakes, and must make them
good personally, another Inducement has
been added for ticket clerks to quit 'the
service. Formerly If mistakes were made
In selling a ticket below the tariff price,
the company would make good , the dif
ference and the shortage did not come
out of the clerk's pocket. Since the Hep
burn law has become effective, each clerk
Is responsible for his. own errors.
An instance in point Is that of a Seat
tle clerk who sold five second-class
tickets a few days ago. There was a dif
ference of $10 on each ticket between the
first and second-clasB fare. This clerk
neglected to punch the tickets for second-class
passage and consequently ho
had to make up the difference of $50
himself.
'We are having a strenuous time to set
local agents," said John M. Scott, as
sistant general passenger agent for the
Harriman lines, yesterday. "There are
vacant positions in the traffic depart
ment almost every month paying from
$60 to $100. The men desert to go Into
other lines of work. It seems that some
are constantly leaving. There are Just
as many openings now in the railroad
business as ever and just as many
chances for promotion as ever."
Officials of the operating department
tell the same story of the need for local
agents at many points on the system.
Even office boys and stenographers are
hard to get. Men are preferred, as the
promotion of women beyond the grade of
stenographer in the railroad service is
Impracticable. Toung men who are sten
ographers are urgently needed.
