PRISON GO! FOR
BELLE
E
Woman in Lane -Conspiracy
Case Unable to Furnish
$500 Bail.
RADDING'S EFFORTS FAIL
Alleged Accomplice as Last Resort
Offers to Sleep In Jail In Her
' Stead, but Request Is Denied.
Her Hearing Is Postponed.
E. S. Raddlng. the erstwhile politician,
who 1b charged with complicity In a plot
to blackmail Mayor Lane, sought to gain
the release of Mrs. Belle Waymire, his
alleged accomplice, last night by surren
dering himself to the police and demand
ing that he be locked up In the woman's
stead. Falling In his efforts to secure
ball for Mrs. Waymire, Raddlng insisted
upon transferring his own bond money
and returning to Jail. Chief crltzmacher
refused to make the exchange, and Mrs.
Waymire spent the night In the City Jail.
Haddlng said he would arrange today
with the Municipal Court for the trans
fer. Mrs. Waymlre's bond was fixed at $u00,
that being the amount of the ball Rad
dtng and L. L. Mandelay, his supposed
accomplice, were required to give Satur
day. She arrived from Vancouver, too
late for a hearing in the Municipal Court
and her case was continued until tomor
row. It was after trying all day to raise
J500 that Radding devised the plan of
surrendering himself and -going back to
Jail In order that Mrs. Waymire might
not have to spend the night in prison.
The accused woman firmly adheres to
her story of the Hamilton building af
fair. Subjected to rigid examinations
yesterday afternoon by District Attorney
Manning and others, she did not contra
flict any of the statements that she made
in the interview printed In The Orego
nlan yesterday. All efforts to confuse her
and bring out admissions tending to dis
credit her statements failed. For more
than an hour she withstood the fire of
questions. The authorities finally con
cluded that there was nothing to be
gained by questioning Mrs. W aymlre and
Mr. Manning directed that she be taken
back to Jail.
Threat Is Not Effective.
"And you will stay In Jail until you
are ready td tell the truth about this
matter." threatened Mr. Manning as a
last resort.
"I have told the truth. There Is noth
ing more I can say, no matter how long
you keep me In Jail," she replied.
"A cleverly tld story." was the terse
comment of R. W. Montague, Mayor
Lane's attorney, who was present at the
Interview.
Mayor Lane reiterated yesterday
bis statements concerning Mrs. Way
mire s attack on him Thursday night,
telling or her unexpected screams and t.lis
jne oreaKing in or tne noor Dy Kaddlng,
her alleged accomplice.
"There Is no use going Into details
about that part of the story, -aid he.
"It has all been told and there Is noth
ing to add to the statements I have al
ready made."
In response to further questions Dr.
Lane said It was not true, as Mrs. Way
mire asserted, that she received more
than ordinary or conventional attention
when she called at his office.
"It is not true that I told her I thought
she was pretty. I don't think I could
have -told her that because I didn't think
she was pretty.
"No, I did not invite her to my office
In the first place. She said she would
come. The reason I told her to come
acaln was because I had forgotten to
write her letter, and I merely said 'come
again," as 1 would say to anyone. In
order to get rid of her. I did this also
when I wanted to make a change In tne
letter of recommendation I had had writ
ten for her, and with which I was not
satisfied.
Story Twisted, Says Mayor.
"About that muscle story, she has got
that all twisted around. I didn't boast to
her that I was strong, but quite to the
contrary. Here's all there was to that:
When I come from the City Hall In the
evening I always wash my hands. The
washroom at the City Hall Is public and I
never use it. In my office I take oft my
cuffs and clean my hands.
"This time I was Just drying my hands
when the bell rang and I went to the
floor, as I remember It. with the towel
In my hands. The caller was this woman.
"I told her that I was. very tired, that
the stress of office holding was very great
and that I had lost weight. I did say
that when I went Into office I
was strong and well muscled for my size,
but that my work was tearing me down
and that my arms were soft and flabby
now. I was putting on my cuffs and roll
ing down my sleeves as I said this.
That's all there was to the thing.
"About the rest of her story I don't
know as I want to make any comment.
I have good reason, of course, to know
she's not telling the truth. Yes, I intend
to appear In the case when it Is brought
to trial and give my testimony against
these people."
Just what charge to press against the
three dependants Is a matter of much
concern In police circles. The charge now
pending Is that of attempting to extort
property. For that charge to become
effective It is necessary, however, for a
demand to be made for money or prop
erty, and no such demand was made in
this case.
Charge May Not Hold.
The present basis of the charge is that
such a plot existed, but did not develop
to a stage where the actual demand was
made. As to whether this theory will
hold In court, some doubt Is expressed.
Vnder the Oregon statutes the charge of
blackmail or attempted blackmail cannot
be made to apply.
Mrs. Waymire did not fight extradition
from Vancouver, Wash., yesterday. She
willingly accompanied City Detective
Hollyer to Portland, and was taken at
once to the City Jail and assigned to a
cell. Early in the afternoon she was
taken to Mr. Manning's office for ex
amination. Here the woman kept to the details of
the affair as she gave them in the Inter
view given Sunday at Vancouver. Her
only addition to the story was that on
the occasion when, as she says. Mayor
Lane called attention to his muscle, he
put his arm about her and kissed her.
"I screamed In his office Thursday night
because. It was the only way I could
protect myself." she said. "There was
no attempt to blackmail. He knows it
as well as I do."
Diamond Trust Cinches Control.
NEW YORK. Sept. 30. The do Beers
Diamond Company, commonly called the
trust, and Its principal independent com
petitors hare formed a pool, according to
cable advices. Some Importers believe
ttm prices, which In the cheaper grades I
had besun to sa.g, will now be firmly
maintained.
COMMITTEES ARE NAMED
Mayor Delegates Power to Select Site
for Garbage-Burner.
Mayor Lane yesterday named a Coun
cil committee, consisting of Rushlight.
Cottel and Wallace, that will recommend
a West Side site for the new garbage
crematory. He also appointed Vaughn,
Cellars and Concannon on the com
mute that will consider the advisabil
ity of erecting an assembly hall on the
market block. Cottel and Kellaher
were named to draft an ordinance gov
erning the operation of slaughter
houses within the city limits, but the
third member of this committee has
not yet been appointed.
The appointment of a committee to
select the crematory site was author
ized at the last meeting of the Council,
when ' this matter was taken out of
the Jurisdiction of the Health Board.
The Council has Intimated that it fa
vors a central location for the Incin
erator, and has stipulated that it shall
be on the West Side. It is probable
that a waterfront site will be chosen.
Chairman Rushlight has already ex
pressed himself as favoring the vicin
ity of the foot of Columbia street,
i Not only will the proposal for an as
sembly hall come before Vaughn's com
mittee, but that body will also take up
the substitute franchise that has been
applied for by the People's Market.
This organization now controls the mar
ket block In South Portland, end pays
the city for the privilege $100 a month.
The terms of the franchise have been
violated, and the Council has expressed
its intention to revoke the grant.
It is improbable that a new fran
chise will be granted the association.
The proposed ordinance provides for
a monthly rental of $200 which Is con
sidered far too low. - The franchise is
to run 25 years, and It is argued that
long before the expiration of that
period, the property will be worth
much more to the city, If It is not
worth more now. Chairman Vaughn
believes the city should retain -control
of the block, whether the assembly
hall is built or not.
The committee on slaughter-houses
was apolnted under the ordinance
passed at the last i eeting, giving the
Zimmerman Packing Company per
mission to operate its plant In South
Portland, until a case against It has
been decided by the State Supreme
Court. This ordinance Is recognized as
special legislation and it is desired to
pass a measure that will extend the
same privileges to all packers.
TIME LIMITS ARE NOW FIXED
Executive Board Moves to Hasten
Completion of Contracts.
At its regular meeting for the audit
ing of the city payrolls yesterday, the
Executive Board set June 1 as the
time for the completion of the new
steel bridge across Sullivan's Gulch
at Union avenue. This structure - was
authorized by the Council at Its last
meeting and bids will be advertised
for 30 days in order to give Eastern
construction companies an opportunity
to compete. The bridge will be similar
to the one that has Just been com
pleted over Sullivan Gulch at Grand
avenue.
Unless material can be obtained more
easily than It has been for some time
past, It is not believed that this
bridge can - be completed within the
time set. especially since the con
tracts can hardly be let within less
than two months. At the same time It
desired to have the work expedited as
much as possible, Un
much as possible. Union avenue being
one of the most important thorough
fares on the F.ast Side. It Is prob
able that all Union Avenue cars will
be sent around by Grand avenue, while
the bridge is being built.
The time for the completion of bttu-
llthic improvement on First Btreet, be
tween Washington and Madison, and
Elizabeth Btreet. from Sixteenth to
Twentieth, was set for July 1. As It
Is especially desired to expedite a
similar Improvement on Williams ave
nue, from Alberta to KUlingsworth
May 1 was named aa the time for this
work to be completed. Parts of First
street, between Washington and Madi
son, are in fairly good condition, but
the Board Is anxious to have
Improvement under way as It will com
pel the Portland Kallway, Lignt Be
Power Company to pave Its part of
the street between the car tracks.
SHEPHERD STILIi FIGHTING
Says Sew Building Ordinance Was
1 Illegally Passed.
George S. Shepherd, ex-member of
the City Council, has again been heard
from on the ordinance regulating the
height of buildings. This time he as
serts that the measure passed by the
Council at its adjourned meeting last
Friday was illegally enacted. His
position is that the Council has not
power to reconsider a question, except
on the day that the first vote Is taken,
and for this reason he declares that
the new law is faulty.
The ordinance passed allows the
erection of brick buildings with metal
lathing to a height of six stories. This
measure Shepherd opposed from first
to last and succeeded in defeating It
at the regular Council meeting Wed
nesday. Friday at the adjourned meet
ing Vaughn made a motion to recon
sider the question which was adopted
and the measure passed. The ordin
ance has not yet been signed by Mayor
Lane.
Shepherd, in declaring the law Told,
cites rule No. 20. of ordinance 10.906,
governing the procedure of the Coun
cil. It follows:
when a Question has onoe been decided it
shall ba In order for any membar who voted
In the majority to move for a raoonalflera.
tlon thereof, but no motion for the recon
sideration of a vote shall be made after the
ordinance, resolution or act shall have gone
out of the possession of the Common Coun
cil, and no motion for such reconsideration
aha.ll be made more than once; and provid
ed, the motion to reconsider is made the
same day of the pasaage of the matter in
question.

Miss Harriet Speckart Charges
Mother and Uncle With
Conspiracy.
FIGHT FOR BREWER'S GOLD
Portland Girl Says Leopold Schmidt,
i
Olympia Brewery Magnate, Un
lawfully Withholds and Profits v
by the Use of Trust Funds.
Charges of conspiracy end misappro
priation of the estate of the late
Adolph Speckart, originally estimated
to nave been worth $300,000, were yes
terday made by Harriet jr. bpeckart,
of this city, in a suit filed against
Leopold Schmidt, president of the
Olympia Brewing Company ana a ra-
clfio Coast brewery magnate. 1 ne
other defendants are Mrs. Henrietta
Speckart, mother of the complainant;
the Olympia Brewing Company and the
Belllngham Bay Brewery. The Speck
art estate, together with the profits
thai have accrued through the alleged
misuse of Its funds. Is' now said to ap
proximate $1,000,000 In value. The suit
is for an accounting of the manage
ment of the estate and was filed In the
United States Circuit Court at Tacoma.
The suit constitutes another chapter
In the litigation which Miss Speckart
has been conducting for more than a
year.
In her petition for an accounting.
Miss Speckart Bays her father, Adolph
Speckart, who was a wealthy brewer,
died testate at Butte, Mont, February
15, 1803. leaving an estate consisting of
real and personal property of a value
exceeding Jl 50,000. By the terms of his
will, which was executed on the day of
his death, Mr. Speckart directed that
his estate should be equally divided
between his wife and his two chil
dren, Harriet F., the petitioner, and
Joseph R. Speckart, a son. The instru
ment further provided that all reve
nues arising from the property be
oueathed to the children should go to
the wife to be used in supporting and
maintaining the children until they
should become of age, when they
should receive their respective shares
of the property.
Still another move to even further de
fraud the daughter of her share of the
estate. It Is alleged, was made during
the year 1906. when another order was
procured from the Probate Court declar
ing that the estate was community prop
erty of the deceased and his wife and
that but one-half of the property was
subject to distribution. The effect of this
order was to reduce from one-third to
one-sixth the share of the petitioner In
the estate. Further sums of from $10,000
to 50.000. It Is charged, were afterwards
transferred from the estate to the fur-
tner nnancina; wi oicwwj cuiw-
prises in which Schmidt was interested.
Made Enormous Profits.
By the use of this money, it Is con
tended, the value of the Belllngham
property has Increased from $20,000 to
nearly $200,000. and the petitioner asks to
be permitted to share in these Increased
valuations.
Miss Speckart asks that the defendants
be required to appepar in court and sub
mit an accounting of the estate from the
time the widow was appointed executrix,
in 1893, together with the records of the
brewing plants In which the money of
the estate Is alleged to have been In
vested. In order that an equitable dis
tribution of the estate, in compliance
with the terms of the will, may be had
In the meantime a restraining order is
nsked of the court enjoining the defend
ants from making any further disposi
tion of the estate or from transferring
any part of it beyond the Jurisdiction of
the court in which yesterday's proceed
ings were begun.
Named Wife as Executrix.
By the will the widow. Henrietta Spec
kart. was appointed executrix and the
testator further provided that Schmidt,
Mrs. Soeckart's brother-in-law, should
act as her advisor in all matters pertain
ing to the estate and Its management.
The complaint alleges that the widow
qualified as executrix March 6, 1893, and
at once entered on the administration of
the estate. It is charged that on the
advice of Schmidt, and without the
slightest authorization of the Probate
Court, the executrix proceeded to dispose
of the estate and divert its funds to the
financing of business enterprises managed
by Schmidt, including the Olympia Brew--lng
Company and the Belllngham Bay
Brewery.
Prior to November 1, 1899, It Is alleged,
the. executrix sold all he personal prop
erty and some of the real estate belong
ing to the estate for an amount exceed
ing $110,000, having received In rents, rev
enues and dividends the further sum of
$90,000, or more than $200,000 In all prior
to the time Miss Speckart reached her
majority, February 22, 1901.
The widow is further charged with hav
ing received her full share of the estate,
she having Invested from its funds about
$100,000, which was derived from the sale
of mining stock. In real estate In he
states of Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia. On this showing the daughter al
leges that one-balf of the remaining
property of the estate. Including the al
leged Investments In the Belllngham and
Olympia breweries, under the terms of
the will .belong to her.
Aocnsea Mother and TJncle.
The mother and Schmidt are accused of
plotting and conspiring to prevent a dls
trtbutlon of the estate according to the
will, and it Is charged that the plaintiff
did not become acquainted with the con
ditions of the will until May 19, 1906.

requiring the executrix to file a report
of her administration of the estate, 1 no
accounting having been rendered since
1896. Thereupon, it is alleged, the execu
trix, acting on the advice and suggestions
of Schmidt, moved all of the personal
property of the estate and tne proceeds
from the sale of the real estate 'belonging
to the estate out of the State of Montana
and beyond the Jurisdiction of the courts
of that state. The scene of operations,
which It is alleged were known to be in
violation of law and the provisions of the'
will, was then transferred to the State
of Washington, where It Is cnarged that
between January 31, 1901, and June 2,
1903, more than $70,000 of the, funds be
longing to the estate and being held In
trust for the heirs, was Invested, with
the consent of the executrix, in the brew
ing -plants at Olympia and Belllngham,
and in which Schmidt was the principal
owner.
With the funds so obtained, it Is al
leged that large profits were earned by
tne two plants and the petitioner lays
claim to the earnings of both enter
prises, together with their Increased value
because of the money so invested.
Kept Waiting Six Tears.
It Is recited In the complaint that, al
though six years have elapsed since the
petitioner reached her majority, she has
not received any part of the estate to
which, she claims title either from the
executrix or from Schmidt, both of whom,
it is averred conspired to keep her In
Ignorance of her father's will and Its
provisions and at the same time in viola''
tion of the terms of the Instrument and
have been using the property of the es
tate for their own benefit and for the
benefit of their private business enter
prises. Another link in the alleged continuing
conspiracy was forged at Olympia, Wash..
In May, 1906, when, it is charged, that
Schmidt induced the petitioner and her
younger brother, who were then resid
ing In Portland, to claim their resi
dence in Olympia. Thereupon, it is
charged, Mrs. Speckart resigned as ex-
.ecutrlx of the estate and Schmidt caused
himself to be appointed administrator in
the Probate Court of Thurston County.
Vested with that authority, he then re
ceived all of the property of the estate
from Mrs. Speckart.
In the complaint filed yesterday It Is
charged that the appointment of Schmidt
in the capacity of administrator was pro
cured by collusion and an unlawful agree
went between Schmidt and Mrs. Spack
art. Fraud and deception, H is alleged,
were practiced by them in representing
to the Court that the principal part of
the estate was located In Thurston Coun
ty, in which the probate proceedings
were had. The appointment of Schmidt,
as administrator, it Is charged, "was not
for the purpose of a lawful administra
tion upon the estate of the said Adolph F.
Speckart, deceased, but that the same
were undertaken In pursuance of the
fraudulent scheme of said Leopold F.
Schmidt and Henrietta Speckart, by
bringing the allegations of said petition
within the requirements of the statutes
of the State of Washington, although
they well knew such allegations to be
false, for the purpose of enabling said
defendants to retain the unlawful use

Seeks to Cancel Mortgage
The suit of Mary and B. Hueckendorff
against J. J. Haverside Sons & Co. has
been transferred from the State Cir
cuit Court for Coos County to the United
8tates Circuit Court for the District of
Oregon. Plaintiffs seek to have can
celled a mortgage executed by them to
property valued at $6625. and in favor of
the defendant firm. It Is represented
that the mortgage was given In January,
1906, to the defendant corporation to se
cure a bond for J10.000 that was to be
furnished to Insure the faithful per
formance of a contract by which plain
tiffs had agreed to build a steam
schooner for Sudden & Chrlstensen. of
San Francisco. It is further alleged that
the bond was never furnished according
to the agreement, although the mortgage
was executed and delivered and recorded
In Coos County. Having completed tne
contract to the satisfaction of the firm
ordering the work, the plaintiffs now ask
that the cloud to the title of their prop
erty be removed.

NO RESTRICTIONS. '
The attractiveness of this offer will
certainly appeal to a large number of
the bank's depositors, owing to its lib
