CRUSHED BY FATE
BECAUSE HE DARED
Real Estate Venture Ahead of
the Times Makes Rich
Man a Pauper.
OTHERS GET HIS FORTUNE
Oldest of Noted Eaniily, Dr. James
Shepard Cabanne, Founder of
Boasted "Home District" in
St. Louis, Penniless.
ST. LOUTS. Aug. 11. (Special.) Dr.
James Sheppard Cabanne. founder of
the great West End residence section.
"Cabanne," reduced to want by politics,
has received a permit to go to the
poorhouse because he couldn't find em
ployment. He If 68 years old and
hasn't a cent. Once he was rich. Re
duced in fortune a few years ago, he
was given a position under the- city
government. Two months ago he was
"dropped." He sought a place with
some mercantile firm, but it was re
fused "because he had held a political
position." He became disheartened,
but applied to Mayor Wells, he says,
for a place, but was "turned down."
Then, all hope gone, he could think of
no place but the poorhouse. When he
showed the permit to his folks they
objected, and now he is resting at his
modest home.
Oldest of Noted Family.
"1 am the oldest of the Cabannes ana
the head of the family," said Pr. Ca
"banne. "I carry this permit to the
poorhouse in my pocket today because
I was ahead of the times."
Tourists in St. Louis have often said
thaH there Is no more beautiful place
than Cabanne in all the world's, cities.
The tract is covered with fine homes
and is beautifully shaded. Almost all
the Cabanne homes are set far hack
from the street, with velvet lawns in
front and rows of great trees border
the wide avenue. Many of the homes
are mansions, and each one differs in
architecture. Flowers, palms, oceans
of green abound. It is nearly always
peaceful in Cabanne. It is the boasted
"home district" of St. Louis.
And Dr. J. S. Cabanne was once the
owner of Cnbenne place. He is old
now, thin ond bent and no longer as
active' as he would like to be. But
there was a time when his bearing
showed, the martial blood in his veins.
His ancestors entertained Emperors.
Jv'apoleon. it is said, was the guest of
one and remembered him in HIS will.
Between Dr. Cabanne and General Lu
cien Dutell, who harbored Napoleon
when the Corsican besieged Toulon,
there i a tie of blood, and the Cabanne
family have carried the name Dutell
among their children for a century.
Inherits Kich Tract.
Lnci;n Cabar.ne Inherited a tract of
35 acros. the narrow strip which is now
Cabanne avenue. This Is 'the land
which passed to Dr. J. S. Cabanne, who
In 1875 knew that he held a future for
tune. The estate was even then wcrtli
$100,000.
In a short time St. Louts began to
grow westward. Dr. Cabanne, in his
boyhood, had seen the city spread to
and beyond Grand avenue. Union ave
nue, across the street from his prop
. erty. became the van of the home
buyers. Cabanne avenue had not been plotted,
hut Dr. Cabanne decided to Improve his
property and make it a home district
worthy his name. He meant to make it a
beautiful, wide avenue, with a firm, hard
roadway. He invested his cash, some
thing like J100.0O0, and his land in the
enterprise.
The property was placed on the mar
ket. The first lot sold for tl a front foot.
But even .that low price didn't direct
home buyers to Cabanne then. Dr. Ca
banne had planned ahead of the times.
"Why. I tried to sell some of those lots
for $7 or $8 an acre," he said, "and they
wouldn't sell at that. I ought to have
waited a little longer, but the place has
my name."
Loses All on Debts.
The 10 per cent interest goon plied up
the debts for Dr. Cabanne. He struggled,
hut his efforts were futile. His great in
heritance went, piece after piece, at a
sacrifice, in order to meet the demands
of his bankers. Lots at Cabanna, and
Goodfellow avenues brought only $20 a
front foot. They are now worth many
times that.
In 18SS Dr. Cabanne was forced into
tankruptcy. The last of his estate passed
under the hammer. His prophecv that
Cabanne would be a great residence sec
tion of the city had come true, but all
left to him was the bitterness qf defeat.
Dr. Cabaqne now estimates that the
property he lost on Cabanne avenue and
elsewhere is bringing in more than the
irfcome of J1.BOO.000. He had owned this
wonderful Cabanne; he had nothing left
after, losing it but his professional knowl
edge, and he moved down to Eighth and
Morgan streets and began the practice
of medicine among the poor.
After a few years he gave up his prac
tice and became a salesman for a drug
house.-That is the kind of work he wants
to do now, but "because he held a po
litical position." his-old employment is
refused him.
Marries Old Servant.
Last May Dr. Cabanne and Mrs. Delia
Doherty were married by Justice Werre
meyer at Clayton. It was said then that
he wedded at 6S "for his honor's sake."
His wife's age was given as 42.
Dr. Cabanne has been separated from
his first wife since l)2. and she divorced
him In 1004. The only charge was aban
donment, and Dr. Cabanne did not con
test the suit.
When the remarkable chapter in his life
came to an end with the recent wedding
at Clayton, and the former domestic in
his home became his wife, Dr. Cabanne
thought everything was rlgii ted ;. that
everything would go on serenely then.
But it didn't.
Two weeks after this marriage Dr. Ca
banne was dismissed by Street Commis
sioner Travllla. He had lost his fortune,
his first wife, his practice, his "city- posi
tion," and now he couldn't get work "be
cause he had been connected with poli
tics." "I guess it was as much exasperation
as anything else that caused me to apply
for the permit to the poorhouse." he
said; "the way I was treated gave me
something like a brainstorm. I guess."

most widely-known in Oregon. He had
long been attacked by a wasting disease
akin to tuberculosis that affected his
lungs, which he fought desperately, a
last resort being a trip with his wife an
a sailing vessel to Hawaii. The relief he
sought was not afforded by the change
of climate, but instead his condition grew
worse, and he returned here, where he
might die among those he haa known
from his youth. Up to auout three weeks

TROY. .Idaho, Aug. 21. (Special.)
Troy is much disturbed over what Is
believed to have been an attempt
to seriously Injure the bride of Andrew
Haidal, a prominent farmer living four
miles north of here.
The young woman, who was discov
ered, fully dressed, prone on the floor
of her home and unconscious, had not
regained her senses this morning, . al
though she was found yesterday morn
ing. 'Little hope is entertained for her
recovery.
Members of her husband's family left
the young woman in her home Satur
day evening, when they made plans
for a trip yesterday. Mr. Haidal is in
the Palouse country harvesting and
Mrs. Haidal was alone on the home
stead. When Mrs. Haidal was struck is a
matter of conjecture, but there is a
wound on the forehead made apparent
ly by a blunt instrument. The theory
is that she heard an intruder, came
from the barn, where she was milking
the cows, and was struck down. Two
physicians were working over her this
morning.

BUILD NEW POORHOUSE
Jackson County Spending Much
Money for Improvements.
ASHLAND, Or., Aug.' 20. (Special.)
Jackson County will soon have a
well-equipped county poorfarm and
hospital, and has already entered upon
a new policy of caring for unfortun
ates and county charges within its
borders.
For many years it has been the cus
tom to let the contract to private par
ties for keeping county poor. This
practice has never b'een entirely sat
isfactory, and the service has been
steadily growing worse with no pros
pects of its being improved, owing to
the fact few wished to undertake the
Job.
During the past year the lack of
care of the county poor by the con
tractor was investigated by a grand
jury, which pronounced it unendur
able. The County Court had been try
to figure out a solution of the problem
for months, but when the grand jury
took the action it did, the court de
cided to delay the purchasing, of a
poorfarm no longer, and a tract de
sirably situated in the central portion
of the valley between Talent and Phoe
nix and about half way between Ash
land and Medford, the two principal
towns of the county, was secured.com
prising some DO acres of Bear
Creek bottom land, suitable for farm
ing and gardening, for , $6500. Upon
this tents were set up, overseers em
ployed and the county charges moved
to the new homes. Meantime plans
were drawn for a commodious county
hospitaL building and upon this work
is now being pushed. It will ne a
substantial frame structure of two
stories, with wide verandas surround
ing It and heated by furance and pro
vided with hot and cold water facili
ties and all modern conveniences. It
will cost in the neighborhood of $10,000
to construct and will be completed
during the coming month.

TEST THE SOUTHERN COALS
Government Fuel-Testing: Plant Is
Moved to Norfolk.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Aug. 11. The fuel-testing plant of
the United States Geological Survey,
which was moved from St. Louis, Mo.,
several months ago, to Norfolk, Va., will
begin on August 16 a series of experi
ments on Eastern and Southern coals
that may be of far-reaching importance
to the Government and to the people in
general. For two years the plant was in
operation at Stt Louis, Mo., and so aston
lsing were the results towards preventing
the waste of the fuel resources of the
country" that Congress ordered the work
continued at Norfolk. Already the Gov
ernment experts connected with the plant
have Indicated the possibility of saving
10 per cent of the country's coal bill each
year the sum of ' J160.000,000--through in
creased efficiency in burning coal. Now
the fuels of the East and South are to
be tested under the steam boiler, in the
gas producer and gas engines' and by
brlquetting, in the hope that this saving
may be further demonstrated. The plant
is located not far from the main en
trance gate of the Jamestown Exposition
and already has attracted thousands of
visitors, many of whom were manufac
turers interested in the economy of fuel.
The law under which the fuel-testing
plant is to be operated contemplates two
classes of work increasing efficiency and
preventing waste in the utilization of the
fuel resources of the country, and test
ing coals that are used by the Govern
ment. Perhaps the most Important tests
will be those comparing the amount of
power obtained from a certain amount of
coal under the steam boiler and in the
gas producer. The gas engine has demon
strated in former tests its ability to do
from two to nearly three, times as much
work with a pound of coal as the. steam
engine. Professor Robert H. Fernald, of
St. Louis, Mo., engineer in charge of the
gas producer tests, will continue the ex
periments of the large 235 horse power
gas engine which has been installed in
the plant. This engine will be supplied
with gas made in two large producers
and from the same fuels that will be
used under boilers. In this way the com-t
paratlve utility of slack coals, culm, lig
nite and even peat will be determined,
for the tests made will show Just what
ail these poorer fuels can do.
Professor L. P. Breckenrldge, engineer
in charge of the steam engineering di
vision of the survey, will endeavor to
increase the efficiency of the steam
boiler. His division has now practically
succeeded in isolating the performance
of the boiler from that of the combined
performance of the boiler and furnace.
Further tests will be made, with the ob
ject of still further determining the ef
ficiency of the furnace alone. A series
of important experiments with fuel under
boilers recently completed Indicate that
stationary boilers ought to do 10 to 20
times as much work per unit of heating
surface as they do now. These tests are
to be continued on three modern boilers
which have just been installed at the
plant. Two of these boilers are of the
water-tube type, of 210 horse power each,
and the third is 250 horse power and of
the marine type. Forced, Induced and
natural draft will be used on these boil
ers and the furnaces will be of three dis
tinct types, one hand-fired with special
fire-brick combuslon chamber and auto
matic air admission, tha second a me
chanical stoker of the underfeed type,
and the third a mechanical stoker of the
overfeed type, so that each fuel may be
tested In every mode of combuslon, in
order to get the highest efficiency possible
out of them.
There will also be a series of experi
ments tending to show Just what is nec
essary to burn these coals without smoke.
The results will be important not only
to the Government, hut to every city in
the country that is fighting the exasper
ating smoke evil. A considerable portion
of the fuel-testing plant Is to be given
over to testing fuels for the Nayv, and
the entire brlquetting plant will be at its
service. Three brlquetting machines are
almost ready for work. One received re
cently from Germany is for brlquetting
lignites of Texas and the Northwest.
This machine is of great power and is
the only one of its kind in the United
States. A second machine is of English
make and has been used for some time
at the plant in St. Louis. The third is
an American-made machine, of which
much is expected. The experts hope to
show that the briquettes have more ef
ficiency than lump coal from the same
mine and that they are practically smoke
less, tie latter condition being a big fac
tor to the Navy as the first. The results
already obtained from briquettes prove
that on boilers requiring forced draft,
like loeomptlve boilers, the briquette so
Increases efficiency as more than to equal
the increased cost of making. These
briquettes are made by taking the waste
or slack coal, culm, lignite, or peat and
mixing it with sufficient tar or other
binding material to hold the coal to
gether, the whole being pressed Into"
blocks by machinery.
Five small 15 horse power gasoline en
gines have been erected at the plant, and
on these engines important tests will be
made of the relative efficiency of gaso
line for producing power and lighfaa
compared with kerosene and other liquid
fuels. It is thought that the commer
cial value of these fuels as producers of
power may be enhanced by these tests.
But little Is known at the present time
of the ' efficiency of these fuels under,
proper conditions.
In addition to all these experiments,
tests will be made to discover the exact
cause of the spontaneous combuslon of
stored coal, in order that loss from this
source may be prevented. The tests are
under the general direction of Joseph A.
Holmes, chief of the technological branch
of the Geological Survey, and the plant
is under the Immediate supervision of H.
M. Wilson, chief engineer. ,

POLICE UXABLE TO FIXD JAP
ANESE CHAUFFEUR.
S. Sllverfleld, Owner of Machine,
Asks Police to Hold Him Re
sponsible for the Speeding.
The police spent a strenuous day yes
terday, endeavoring to arrest the driver
of an automobile which is alleged to
have been driven across Washington
street, on Sixth, at a furious rate at 10
o'clock Tuesday night. Several women,
it is said, were nearly run down, and
for a time it looked as though some one
would surely be killed or maimed. Among
the witnesses were Chief Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald, Clerk Hennessy, of
the Municipal Court, and Acting Detec
tive. Price.
The city officials named decided to ar
rest ond prosecute the Japanese they
allege was driving the automobile, but
investigation revealed the fact that tha
machine is the property of S. Sllverfleld,
a fur dealer at Fourth and Morrison
streets. Mr. Sllverfleld. when asked where
the Japanese could be found, told De
tective Price that it was not the Jap
anese who should be arrested, and said
that, he himself was the proper per
son to be prosecuted. He said he would
appear at police headquarters during the
afternoon and talk over the case.
Late in the afternoon Mr. Sllverfleld
appeared as he had promised, and took
up the matter with Captain Slover. The
latter asked for J50 cash ball, as fixed
on the warrant, and Mr. Sllverfleld said
he would go out and secure a check for
the amount and that he would return
with it. He did not do so, however, and
after several hours of waiting, Captain
Slover detailed Detective Price to go out
and attempt to find Mr. Sllverfleld. He
was not arrested, last night, but at head
quarters it was announced at 11 o'clock
that the arrest will be made this
morning.
BULLDOG OUT FOR TIME
Acquires "Jag" and Proceeds to
Show It Off.
CLEVELAND, Aug. 19. Dirty, but good
natured, his legs describing all sorts of
curves and his spirits hilarious, a half
grown brindle bujl terrlor with a full
grown "Jag" first frightened and then
amused 100 people at the noon hour In
Euclid avenue.
When the general public began to take
notice, the dog was on the sidewalk in
front of the First National Bank and was
malting honest, if somewhat awkward, at
tempts to be friendly with every passerby.
His walk was not straight enough always
to lead him directly to the person ha
started for, but he was not offended if he
brought up against someone else.
At first the passersby who stopped to
watch the pup feared he wis a victim of
rabies, but a red-nosed person soon diag
nosed the symptoms, and his announce
ment that the dog -wjas "plain drunk" waa
too plainly the truth to be doubted.
A policeman finally came along and had
the dog taken down Into the big excava
tion for the foundation of the new First
National Bank building, and there his
dogshlp proceeded to sleep off his "Jag."
His owner and the means by whlcn ha
got the "booze" remain mysteries.

In Debate a Horse Starves.
Des Moines (Iowa) Dispatch.
While the First African M. B. Church
Council debated the question of buying
the feed for Pastor ixmack's horse,
Billy, tethereu behind the church, starved
three days. Then the Humane Society
took him and housed him.
Meantime the appropriation for the
animal's feed was passed. It needed the
"O. K." of another officer. That was se
cured. Then warrants were drawn, feed
was ordered, and, finally, after three
days without feed, the proper authorities
arrived at the back of the church with a
meal for Billy. But Billy was nowhere
to be found. Perhaps he had died and
was burled. No fresh grave was visible.
Billy had left no note of farewell. And
surely no one would steal a horse from
behind a church.
But kind friends always gossip. Ine
church council heard of the Humane So
ciety, and dispatched Simon Sampson to
investigate. He claimed the horse for
Rev. Mr. Lomack. The neglect to feed
the horse, he explainer, was due chiefly
to red tape.
