MYERS PROPOSED
EVERY FEW DAYS
Dr. Margaret Stratton Tells
About Attentions of Late
Salmon-Packer.
WILL CASE IS RESUMED
Evidence Jnlrodiii-cd Willi Object of
Shovting Myers Mind Was Poi
soned Against Daughter, Whom
He Cut Off With $20,000.
That the late George T. Myers, the
wealthy salmon-packer, used to come
to her house every few days and ask
her to marry him, was the statement
of Dr. Margaret Stratton, on the witness-stand
yesterday. She waa one of
the witnesses in the suit of Mrs.
Georgia Frances Stevens, who Is seek
ing to break tht will of her father,
Mr. Myers, on the' ground that, at the
time the will was made, his mind had
been poisoned against her. He left ftll
but 20.000 of an estate worth 250,000
to George T. Myers, Jr., Mrs. Stevens'
brother.
The suit was begun in the County
Court several weeks ago. but was con
tinued In order to give an opportunity
for the attorneys to bring other wit
nesses to testify. The case was re
sumed yesterday morning. Dr. Stratton
being called to complete her testimony
on behalf of Mrs. Stevens.
Dr. Stratton said that Myers began
paying his attentions to her within
two weeks after his wife's death, and
continued them, to her great annoy
ance, for the remainder of the year.
She said Mrs. Jessie Dunham heard
Myers when he tried to make love to
her, as Dr. Stratton was always careful
to have Mrs. Dunham present when
Myers came. M. M. Whiting had a room
in the same house, and Mrs. Stratton
said he might also have heard what
Myers said. The last heard of Mrs.
Dunham, said Mrs. Stratton, she was
in Paris. As for "Whiting's where
abouts, Mrs. Stratton did not "know.
Dr. Stratton avoided the possibility of
a collapse while she was on the witness
stand yesterday by saying to the court
t hit she was very nervous and asking
for a recess. Her request was granted
several times. She took advantage of the
opportunity by going outside and prome
nading in the fresh air.
She said that Myers was a social
drinker, carrying '"about all he could
stand the most of the time. His irrl
labtlltj' was only increased by it." She
onre told Myers, she said, to go and live
with his daughter when he liad been com
plaining that ho was not receiving proper
treatment at home. To this she said he
made answer. "That's another hell! Don't
call her my daughter, for she Is not my
daughter, and nevor was."
It was the belief of Dr. Stratton that
when Myers came to her, In 1902, shortly
after the death of his wife, and said that
on the previous night he had come near
ending it all, he waa joking. She said
yesterday that he told her he was about
to jump out the window, when some
.member of the family came in. She re
plied to hira that it would have been well
If he had made a good Job of it.
Regarding Myers' attitude toward Dr.
Robinson, who had treated his wife. Dr.
Stratton said:
"Myers said Dr. Robinson had destroyed
two of the happiest homes in Portland,
his own and his daughter's. He said Dr.
Robinson had undue Influence over his
wife and his daughter. Frank, as he
railed her. He said Dr. Robinson was
an old devil, that he had hypnotized his
wife and Frank, and that he (Myers)
would shoot Robinson on sight. I told
him that was absurd, and that he must
know better, but he replied that he knew
what he was talking about and knew
they were hypnotized. He raved around
like a caged lion."
The testimony of Mrs. Stevens, who
took the stand yesterday afternoon, con
firmed the testimony of Dr. Stratton In
essential points.
The case will be continued this morning.
MARQUAM STILL FIGHTIXG
Asks Court to Deny the Injunction
Sought by Ross Interests.
P. A. Marquam has not abandoned his
light against the United States Mortgage
; Trust Company, the Title Bank, J.
Thorburn Ross and the Oregon Company,
for an opportunity to redeem from mort
pnge foreclosure the Marquam building.
: He filed in the Circuit Court yesterday his
answer to the petition of Ross and the
other defendants that an injunction be
Issued preventing Marquam from taking
the depositions of Ross. George H. Hill,
T. T. Burkhart. E. B. Seabrook. W. A.
iMiinly, E. C. Mears'and W. M. Gregory.
Marquam has also filed a motion that
he be allowed to tile a second amended
complaint, as he says new evidence has
come to lisht since the first amended
complaint was filed. In an affidavit he
pays he wishes to place Moses Billings
and Francis I. McKenna on the stand
when the case comes to trial, and that
thrlr testimony will go to show that the
Title Bank kept down the income from
the property in order to increase the in
debtedness on it.
The answer to tUe petition denies that
Ross is merely a nominal party to the
iMarquarn suit, and avers that he is one
of those charged with collusion and fraud
In connection with the execution sale
of the Marquam property. December 10,
The answer further says that Ross,
Hill and Burkhart are adverse parties
within the meaning of section SaJ of the
code, amended In 1905. and that for that
reason Marquam has a right to take their
depositions. Hill is said to have other
knowledge besides that sained as receiver
of the Title Bank, as alleged in the pe
tition. Marquam alleges that neither Ross nor
"W. M. '.odd. nor Burkhart have testitied
fairly or fully regarding the subject mat
ter of Mnrquam's complaint.
lastly, it is his contention that the
cojrt has no authority to issue an in
junction acatnst his taking the depositions
and prays that the temporary injunction
b' discharged, and the petition of the
defendants dismissed.
lIT TO ENJOIX THE CITY
Merchants Will Attack the Vehicle
Tas Ordinunce Today.
Suit to enjoin the city from further col
lecting licenses under the vehicle tax or
dinance which recently passed the City
Council Is to be tiled In the Circuit Court
today by Frank H Freeman. It will be
the contention of Mr. Freeman, who will
act as attorney for merchants liable un
der the new ordinance, that, pending the
tit t-i.sinn of the voters on the referendum,
Tie city has no right to enforce the law.
City Attorney John J. Kavanaugh sub
mitted to City Auditor Barbur last week
an opinion in which he held that the ref
erendum cannot affect the ordinance until
the vote is cast. Before that time the
only way to prevent collection of the tax,
he contends, would be for the City Coun
cil to repeal the ordinance. The referen
dum petition recently filed bears 53
name;. - "
The ordinance passed in the Council
over Mayor Lane's veto, after a stubborn
fight among the Councilmen. Councilman
Kellaher bitterly opposed it, threatening
to invoke the referendum, which was
later done.
MANNING FILES AFFIDAVITS
Supports Contention That Ross and
Associates Can Have Fair Trial.
Only the arguments of the attorneys
for the state and for the officials of the
defunct Title Bank, and the decision of
Judge Cleland regarding the motion of
the officials that they be tried In some
county other than Multnomah, now stand
between the bank's officers and a jury
trial. District Attorney Manning filed 47
affidavits yesterday morning In which as
many Portland citizens swore that it was
their belief that J. Thorburn Ross, T. T.
Burkhart. John E. Aitchison and George
H. Hill could be fairly tried in Multnomah
County.
Te contention of Ross and his asso
ciates is that the newspapers of the city
have so poisoned the public mintl that
12 fair-minded and unbiased jurors can
not be found. In support of this conten
tion the defendants' attorneys have filed
as amciavits and the copies of 270 news
papers. Judge Cleland is to hear the ar
guments for and against a change of
venue at 2 P. 3d. today.

and his colleagues can be fairly tried in

BICKERTON" CASE DRAGS ON
Testimony In Divorce Case Expected
to Be Concluded This Morning-.
The contested divorce suit of Mrs. Iona
Blckerton against Haughton C. Bickerton
still drags on before Judge Bronaugh in
the Circuit Court. It is expected that ail
the testimony will be before the Court
this morning, and that opposing counsel
will have fihished arguments before the
hour for adjournment tonight. Mrs. Bick
erton is seeking to obtain her divorce on
the ground of drunkenness.
It is Bickerton's contention that the en
tire trouble between himself and his wife
has been caused by her many admirers.
She Is said to have Invited a Mr. and
Mrs. Rees to live with herself and hus
band to spy on him. Mrs. Rees, when
placed on the stand yesterday, admitted
that Mrs. Bickerton employed her to act
as a sort of bodyguard, because she was
afraid Bickerton might do her harm.
Rees is said to have played a prominent
part in the management of Mrs. Bicker
ton's business, and Bickerton believes he
alienated his wife's affections.
Ruth Leibe has filed suit to obtain a
divorce from Henry A. l-eibe. She says

were married.
Ask Stay of Judgment.
Attorneys for W. C. Gibson, recently
convicted In the Circuit Court of rob
bery, filed two motions yesterday, one
In arrest of judgment on the verdict,
and the other to obtain a new trial,
on the ground that there was no testi
mony to show that Gibson had a loaded
revolver in his possession, and that
therefore the verdict was contrary to
law. The reason for asking stay of
judgment Is that. Gibson was unable
to make known to the court or to his
attorneys facts within his knowledge
which might have cleared him. It is
asserted that a disease of his mind
was responsible for this.
Calls Letter a Libel.
Suit to recover $15,000 damages for
libel on account of a letter written by
A. H. Reudy, and printed in a local
paper, has been filed in the Circuit
Court by John L. Schuyleman. The let
ter was printed under the caption, "One
of Brother Kdss' Kind," and Is charac
terized by Schuyleman as "false, un
true and defamatory." In the letter
Reudy said: "I have a vivid recollec
tion of how I was robbed of thousands
of dollars, while the methods of the
Title, Grab Bust Company were be
ing lauded to the skies by this same
disciple of high finance."
Forecloses Big Mortgage.
Perry H. Blyth has brought suit in
the Circuit Court against the Colonial

tion is on the Cornell road.

GALLS MEETING 0F
STATE COMMITTEE
Chairman Westgate Summons
Republican Leaders
for April 10.
PREPARE FOR CONVENTION
Gathering of Clans Will Be Held in
May and Will Choose National
Delegates and Nominate
the Electors. .
..Oregon's Republican state central com
mittee was summoned . yesterday by
Chairman G. A. Westgate, to meet in
Portland, Friday, April 10, for the pur
pose of calling a state convention and ap
portioning the delegates. The convention
will meet about a month later and will
choose four delegates-at-large to the Na
tional convention, which will be held in
Chicago, June 16. The state convention
will also nominate four candidates for
Presidential electors.
The state committee will arrange for
calling a convention in each of the two
Congressional districts, for the purpose
of choosing two National delegates' for
each district. Oregon will have eight
delegates In Chicago.
It Is altogether probable that the old
system will be adopted by the state com
mittee, of selecting delegates to the state
coni-ention, in county conventions, and of
selecting delegates to county conventions,
in county primaries. This appears to be
the method generally favored.
Other possible methods are. (1) elect
ing state convention delegates in county
primaries. In the manner of tne direct
primary law; (2) allowing the state cen
tral committee to choose them, or (3) al
lowing the county central committee to
name the delegates.
Direct Primary Cumbersome.
The direct primary method is deemed
too cumbersome, since the primary law
makes no provision for selecting dele
gates in connection with ' the regular
primaries and besides, since there will not
be enough time before primary day, April
17, to prepare for contemporaneous pri
maries, special primaries would have to
be provided for later, and no funds are
available to pay the expense. The two
other possible methods those of selection
by either state or county central commit
tee, are unpopular, since the cry of
"machine" would follow.
Chairman Westgate says that the old
method of choosing delegates to the state
convention In all probability will be
adopted.
In the First Congressional District
Claud Catch Is chairman of the central
committee, but as he has been appointed
to the Federal office of National Bank
Examiner, since being elected chairman
of that body, two years ago, it pre
sumed he will take no part In the politi
cal affairs of the district. In that event.
Gall S. Hill, of Albany, secretary of the
committee, will probably Issue the call for
the district committee. In the Second
District there is no central organization,
so that the state committee must arrange
for its convention.
Will Adopt Platforms.
It is expected that the state and dis
trict conventions will adopt platforms for
the Republican nominees to stand on in
the June election. There will be no op
portunity for the conventions to meddle
with nominations, since all nominations
will have been made in the primaries,
April 17, probably three or four weeks
before the conventions.
Members of the state central committee
are as follows:
Baker George Chandler. Baker City.
Benton George W. Denman. Corv&UU.
Clatsop W. R. Hume. Astoria.
Columbia E. B. Quick. St. Helena.

CHILDREN WILL ASSIST
Asked to Distribute Rose Festival
Advertising Matter.
Though the school children df the Port
land public schools have been debarred
from taking part in the Rose Festival
next June, a way has been .found where
by they may assist very materially in
swelling the crowds of visitors which
are expected to throng the city the first
week of June.
Tomorrow the festival management jvill
have ready for distribution a quarter of
a million of tne most artistic and dainty
programmes of the week's events that
have ever been issued for any local dem

VERY FIRST BAD SIGNS
SERIOUS KIDNEY TROUBLES
FELT IN THE BACK.
Prescription Which Anyone Can
Prepare at Home to Overcome
Kidney Disease.
Take care of backache. A great manv
cases of kidney complaint are reported
about here, also bladder trouble and
rheumatism.
An authority once stated that pain
In the bak, lolnB or region of the kid
neys is the danger signal nature hangs
out to notify the sufferer that there
is something wrong with the kid
neys, which should receive Immediate
attention. Only vegetable treatment
should be administered and absolutely
no strongly alcoholic patent medicines,
which are harmful to the kidneys and
bladder.
The following prescription, while
simple, harmless and inexpensive, is
known and recognized as a -sovereign
remedy for kidney complaint. The in
gredients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy and anyone can
mix them: Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Svrup Sarsa
parlila, three ounces. Shake well in a
bottle and take In teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
This preparation is said to restore
the natural function- of the kidneys, so
they will sift and strain the poisonous
waste matter, uric acid, etc.. from the
blood, purifying it and relieving rheu
matism. Backache will be relieved, the
urine will be neutralized and cleared
and no longer a cause of Irritation,
thereby overcoming such symptoms as
weak bladder, painful, frequent and
other urinary difficulties.
This Is worth trying and may prove
just what many people here need.
the Rose Festival headquarters, on the
fifth floor of the Swetland building.
The hope of the citizens behind the
festival movement is that every one of
the 30,000 boys and girls attending the
public schools will call at headquarters
and get a lot of these cards to send East
to friends or relatives that may be in
duced to come to Portland next Summer.
It is realized that the school children of
Portland can be made the most powerful
agents of publicity for the great festal
week If they will only show the proper
Interest.
While the festival people plan to dis
tribute probably 150,000 of these pro
grammes among the hotels, restaurants,
stores, factories and other establishments,
It is expected that the public school chil
dren will make use of at least 100,000 of
them.
Letters are now being prepared by Cap
tain Speier, chairman of the water, car
nival committee, to be sent to the own
ers of every dock on both sides of the
river from above the Madison-street
bridge down below the Steel bridge, re
questing them to arrange for a uniform
scheme of decoration and illumination for
the entire week, and particularly for the
great marine pageant, on the night of
June 3.
The Viking Association, of Astoria,
which embraces some of the most im
portant social and athletic bodies of the
"City by the Sea,' will probably be rep
resented in the water carnival in full
force.

believed to be sufficient to cause its

The present rate for arc lamps is
55.30 each, and President Josselyn, of

increase the price in the next bid. This,
however, does not satisfy Mayor Lane,
