ings against him, asking, $15,000, and
incidentally charging him with com
manding her to fall on her knees and
worship him. Miss Sophia Wooster
lives with her mother at 718 Brooklyn
street. They are waiting for the case
to coxne to trial in Lincoln. Wooster
In said to be a prominent Populist
politician.
The couple, who are first cousins,
were married more than 20 years ago,
this being Wooeter's second marriage.
He had several children by his first
wife, and differences between the cou
ple arose over them. At last the Sen
ator sent his oldest daughter home to
rule the family, as he said. She had
been working as stenographer in the
Supreme Court of Nebraska. Mrs.
Wooster says her husband sometimes
left home, and took the children with
him, falling to provide food or money
for her. She says he is worth about
$30,000.
Mrs. Wooster's attorney, In Portland,
J. Q'.B. Scobey, says Wooster is a
worldly man, while his wife Is very re

mother during the pending suit. Mrs.
Jessie Todd Blakeman, another daugh

In regard to the securing of a divorce
jonn D. J-Juvisun tuiu .iviazie javi-
son are of the same mind, although he
lives in South Dakota and she lives in
Portland, but in regard to the division of
the property there is a difference of
opinion, so Davison has tiled a divorce
suit in South Dakota and Mrs. Davison
has filed one here. He alleges that her
treatment has impaired his health,
brought his domestic happiness to an end,
and unfitted him for business.
On the other hand, Mrs. Davison says
her husband's cruelty and fraud are
grounds for a divorce. She says he left,
telling her he was to visit Ills relatives
in Missouri, but that ho went Instead to
South Dakota, and did not return.
The couple married" January 10, 1S95.
Happiness prevailed, it is said, until Jan
uary. 1W7. Then her husband bi'.came
quarrelsome on account of his desire to
secure property which she had previously
purchased. She says' also that he loaned
her money on a note, but when collection
was made forgot to pay her back, and
that he collected the rents from her prop
erty but kept the money.
IOVE SVES TO QUIET TITLE
Will or Wealthy Portland Man At
tacked by Son.
Kecause Green C. Love married againnt
the wishes of his father, Lewis Love, the
latter made a provision In his will that
the estate, said to tbe worth $200,000 and
consisting of 128 acres in Woodlawn and
property at First and Madi6on streets,
should be divided among his children,
including the disobedient son, but that
Mrs. Green C. Love should have no in
terest in it. In case Green C. Love died
leaving no children his portion of the
estate was to rovert to the other heirs.
In a suit to quiet title, brought by
Green C. Love In tho Circuit Court, and
now on trial before Judge Bronaugh,
Love contends that the language of the
codicil indicates that his father . meant
the restrictions to apply only lncase the
plaintiff should die before his father.
The heirs have agreed on this construc
tion, with tho exception of Mrs. Stafford
and her children, who hold that his
shave shall be divided among the other
heirs on the death of Green C. Love.
Lewis Love's will was made in 1899, G.
C. Love married in 1901, and the trustees
were to divide the estate in 1907, under
the will. The codicil was added to the
will In 1902.
BIGAMIST SENT TO PRISON'
Arthur Xorris Pleads Guilty and Is
Sentenced to 18 Mouths.
One man was sent to the penitentiary,
one pleaded guilty and will be sentenced
today, and one case was set for trial by
Judge Gantonhein in the Circuit Court
yesterday. Eighteen months In tho peni
tentiary is the sentence imposed upon
Arthur Norrls, who was arraigned yes
terday and pleaded guilty to a charge of
polygamy. He came here recently from
Seattle, and said he thought his first
wife had obtained a divorce, but found
after he had married the second that he
was still the husband of the first. Both
women visited their husband at the
County Jail tho other day to identify
him.
H. A. Houghtlin changed his plea of
not guilty to one of guilty, and will be
sentenced at 2 o'clock this afternoon. He
was charged with larceny in a shop.
The case of C. E. Ferrell, charged with
assaulting A. Schuback-with a revolver
on November 35, was set for trial March
11. Cortex Brewer, who was indicted
upon the same charge, will have his
trial March 10, the case having been- set
several days ago.
Denies Sentences Are Severe.
"I think there has beoii a misunder
standing about the sentences imposed by
Judge Gantenbeln Wednesday on James
Welder and Kdward Lee," said Assistant
District Attorney Haney yesterday.
"There is an intimation in The Oregonian
that they had been harshly dealt with,
their offenses being small. Welder was
sentenced to four years for obtaining
money on a ti check. It appeared that
he was an old offender, had recently
served a term in the Walla Walla Peni
tentiary and there were 14 similar charges
against him. Lee had stolen tools from a
canenter shop. He, too, was an old of
fender. He had recently served a term
In Jail on a similar charge and there were
other like charges against him. On this
statement of facts by me as prosecuting
officer Judge Gantenbeln sentenced eaeu
to four years in the penitentiary. I
think there will be no suggestion that the
sentences are severe when the facts arc
understood."

DECISIONS BY COMMISSION
Interstate Commerce Board ' Hands
Down Interesting Opinions.
Decisions of interest alike to railroads
and shippers have just been handed down
in a number of cases by the Interstate
Commerce Commission which has acted
informally, that is. announced its decis
ions without hearings after considering
the subjects brought to its attention.
Advices of these decisions have Just been
received by traffic men of Oregon rail
roads. In a case where a shipment is routed
contrary to the expressed directions of
shippers, and the consignee is compelled
to move the shipment by dray from the
station to the destination to which it
would have been delivered If properly
routed, the carrier may, under the par
ticular circumstances of the case, be
authorized -by the commission to refund
to the shipper the reasonable cost of the
drayage.
In the absence of a through rate from
the point of origin to the point of destina
tion of the shipment, the lowest combina
tion of rates applicable via the route
over which .the shipment moves is the
lawful rato for that shipment, except that
proportional rates applicable to through
shipments or to shipments from or to
must be used in preference to locals or
other rates whfcrh may be higher or
lower than such proportionals. The pro
portionals being specifically applicable to
through shipments must be used in mak
ing up rates for such shipments on the
same principle that the through rate is
the lawful rate regardless of the lower
combination.
In an instance where lox cars are not
available for a machinery shipment and
the shipper requests and received cattle
cars for the movement, lining them with
tar paper and felt in order to protect the
shipment from the weather, the commis
sion held that in the absence of tariff au
thority, the carrier cannot lawfully reim
burse the shipper for the expense so incurred.
NEXT STEP NOT DETERMINED
Mount Hood . Road TJcnies Plan to
Trespass on City's Rights.
Officials of the Mount Hood Railway &
Power Company decline to make any
statement at this time as to the course
they will pursue in their effort to secure
a right of way across property of the city
on the Bull Run River Reserve. The city
won its case in the State Circuit Court at
Oregon City Wednesday, because the
Judge held that it is incumbent upon the
company first to make every effort to se
cure right of way without process of con
demnation. Mayor Lane and the members of the
Water Board In particular, and all of the
public officials in general, are pleased
with the outcome of the case at Oregon
City, as It now puts the MountHood Com
pany officers in the position where they
are obliged to seek their privileges from
the city. What the next step will be the
officials of the company say they are not
as yet ready to make public; in fact, they
say they are undetermined as to what
course they will pursue. They do declare
without hesitation, however, that their
purposes are misunderstood by the public,
and that they do not intend trespassing
upon the city's rights in any particular,
but to the contrary are working to estab
lish what they believe will prove to toe of
great benefit to the entire city and sur
rounding community.

IN THE HALL CASE

the case and submit it to the Jury late
tomorrow. But it will be impossible to
conclude the trial this week.
Aside from the extended cross-examination
of Hall by Heney, the Government
has several witnesses to call in rebuttal,
so that the final arguments in the case
cannot be reached before late Saturday
afternoon.
Hall's Testimony at Day Session.
. Mr. Hall was on the stand yesterday
until 3 o'clock, 'when his cross-examination
by Heney began. Before leaving the
stand. Hall reiterated positively and em
phatically his denial that he at any time
ever had any understanding with Steiwer
and his associates or with any other per
sons or interests that could possibly be
construed to mean protection from
prosecution for the violation of any laws.
The witness then gave his explanation
of the Burke-Goslin indictment for land
frauds in 1900 and the reason the indict
ment was finally dismissed. He denied
that his first knowledge of the fraudu-

The Martinis of Londonderry, Who
Will Propose the Revival of Coer
cion Against Irib Land Agitators.
The Marquis of Londonderry, who
will propose In the House of Lords
that coercion laws bo again put In
force in Ireland, is a Knight of
tho Garter, member of the privy
council, and aide-de-camp to the
King. He was born in London in
1S52 and succeeded to the title and
estates In 1SS4. Lord Londonderry
was educated at Eton and Oxford.
He has been Viceroy of Ireland,
chairman of tho London School
Board, Postmaster-General, president
of the Board of Education and Lord
President of tho Council. Spain has
honored him with the decoration of
tho Order of King Charles lit. His
landed estates are in the aggregate
60.500 acres. He has a London resi
dence and two seats In England,
and his Irish home is Mount Stew
art, In County Down.
lent timberland applications by Burke
and his associates had been furnished
him by C. B. Moores, forn.er Register of
the Oregon City Land Office, In a (letter
on October 12, 1899, and as proof of the
fact showed that the formal information
against Burke et al. had been filed by
Hall prior to October 5. 1R99, the date on
which Burke filed hie bond after having
been held to the grand Jury.
The witness testified that he afterward
learned that the indictment of Burke et
al. had been encouraged by rival inter
ests that were after the same land Burke
had filed on. He professed to see in the
prosecution of' the men under indictment
a scheme to further private interests
through the agency of his office as Dis
trict Attorney and he did not feel dis
posed to be a party to any such arrange
ment. It was then, asserted Hall, that
the telegram was forwarded to Hermann
requesting permission to compromise the
ease against Burke et al. by accepting
their filing fees together with relinquish
ments to the land filed on in considera
tion for the dismissal of the indictment.
The application was referred to the
United States Attorney-General, from
whom Hall averred he had received a
letter authorizing him to accept the
terms of the proposed compromise and
to dismiss the indictment, which he did
early in March, 1900.
Contradicts Sorenson and Brownell.
The witness also gave the He to the
testimony that had been offered for the
Government by George Sorenson and
George C. Brownell. He emphatically
denied that he ever went to Oregon
City with Sorenson for the purpose of
seeing Brownell and that he never dis
cussed the subject of his reappointment
as District Attorney with Sorenson:
neither did he ever tell Sorenson and
Brownell that they were implicated In
the land frauds and for that reason
should "stand in" and support him, Hall,
for reappointment. He said that he went
to Oregon City with Sorenson only one
time and then It was for the purpose of
trying a civil suit in the Clackamas
County Circuit Court, In which he ap
peared as attorney for Sorenson. On
that visit. Hall said that he visited the
office of Brownell for the sole purpose
of consulting some law books in support
of authorities he had cited In presenting
his case.
Hall discussed his relations with
Brownell and with the office of District
Attorney at considerable length. He de
nied that a conversation on the subject
of the appointment of a District Attor
ney to succeed himself had ever been dis
cussed in the presence of Pulton,
Brownell and himself.
"Brownell called at my office one day
prior to January, 1903," continued Hall,
"and told me that Fulton had told him
that I had said if Fulton could use the
appointment of District Attorney in any
way to help him he was free to do so,
but that Fulton had told him, Brownell,
that he did not care to make use of the
office In that way. My next talk with
Brownell was some time following the
adjournment of the 1903 session of the
Legislature, at which Fulton was elected
Senator. Brownell again called at my
office and said that Fulton had promised
to give him the appointment of District
Attorney. He apologized for taking the
office, but said that he needed the
money. I told him that he need not
apologize: that I had had the office long
enough for one man. At this meeting
we agreed that Brownell should take
charge of the office at the close of the
fiscal year, June 30, 1903.
Brownell's Political Ambition.
"In the Spring of 1903, about April,
Brownell again visited my office and
told me that he would be a candidate for
Congressman, to succeed the late
Thomas H. Tongue, and if he got -that
he would not want to be District Attor
ney. Later, In July, 1903, he came to me
.
and told me that he would Dot be a can
didate for District Attorney and prom
ised to support me for reappointment, al
though at the time he was recommend
ing' Campbell, his partner, for the place,
but I 'did not know it at the time."
Hall declared that he did not show
the field notes and survey applications,,
to which Brownell was susppcted of hav
ing affixed his jurat illegally, until dur
ing the session of the grand jury in De
cember, 1904. that the records were not
left in the District Attorney's office until
after the 1 uter-Watson trial In the 11-7
cases, or more than a year after
BrownelU had retired from the . contest
for District At tome
The witness testified tnat he called at
Brownells office in Oregon City either
In December, 1903, or in January, 1904,
and found Brownell apparently anxious
that Hall should be reappointed. "In
fact," explained Hail, "he said he would
telegraph Pulton requesting my appoint
ment if 1 would let him know when I
was in Washington. I wired Brownell
as requested and r believe he sent a dis
patch to Fulton, requesting my appoint
ment." The proposed Brownell affidavit, ex
onerating Hall of all threats and intimi
dations in connection with his candidacy
for the office of District Attorney, was
prepared and submitted to Brownell, ac
cording to Hall, In accordance with the
understanding that if Hall could show
that he had been removed from office on
groundless charges, he would be rein
stated. This affidavit was given to
Brownell, who refused to sign It.

SEATTLE. Wash.. Jan. 30. (Special.)
A new phase of the Vancouver baseball
franchise came to the front tonight when
it -was learned that a man well known in
Portland sporting circles, interviewed the
officials of the Vancouver Recreation
Park Amusement Company in regard to
the purchase of the 'baseball privileges.
He returned to Portland today, -but be

The Vancouver officials refuse to di

Buck Keith who. with Andy Anderson, of
Aberdeen, recently tried to purchase the
Spokane franchise in the Northwestern
League.
Buck Keith, formerly a baseball Im
pressario at Omaha and Nebraska City in
Nebraska, and now a resident of Port
land, is being Importuned by the mag
nates of the Pacific Northwest League to
take over the franchise of the Vancouver,
B. C, club in that circuit.
Vancouver is one of the best towns in
that circuit, 'but was handicapped last
season by poor management. The direc
tors of the club experimented with sev
eral but always without getting results,
and the approach of the coming season
finds them without the services of a man
capable of whipping a team into shape to
put up a creditable battle for the pennant.
Some few weeks ago, Dugdale of Seat
tle, and President Lucas made overtures
to Keith to assume the management of
that club. In this proposition is coupled
the proposal that Ous Klopf be associated
with Keith in the Vancouver enterprise.
Keith announced that he had extended his
terms to the Northwestern magnates, but
the nature of these he refused to state,
claiming that it was up to Dugdale to
make them public and to accept them or
reject them. Kerth has a business in tnis
city which he claims is sufficiently re
munerative to engage his time and atten

Lucas and Dugdale are not acceptable.

I Madame Carreno and Her Beautiful Chick-
. . r. CI 1 17.. r Fl
ering Piano Showered With Flowers
Upon her previous visit to San Francisco, Madame Teresa
Carreno was given a grand ovation. Her marvelous playing
completely captivated the great audience, and probably never
has any artist or any piano received a more enthusiastic in
dorsement than was accorded her upon that occasion. Re
produced below is an extract from the San Francisco Chron
icle briefly describing the remarkable scene which occurred
at the close of her concert.
"The most wonderful enthusiasm for any pianist ever seen or heard
in this place was shown Madame Carreno last evening at Metropolitan
Hall. A splendid audience was enchanted with her artistic perform
ance. Every number on the programme was an open-eyed wonder
ment. The most remarkable scene of all was at the end of her work.
The audience rose en masse, and with cries and bravos tore from their
breasts and garments boutonnieres of violets, pinks and roses, and
threw them at her from every part of the audience. She was com
pletey covered with them. The beautiful Chickering Piano which she
uses was filled with them. They fell on the strings and action. Encore
after encore was given, and withal the flower-smothered piano, she
once more brought them to their seats. The enthusiasm was some
thing marvelous. It took over an hour to remove violets and other
flowers from her Chickering piano."
