Both tides News of Courts.
TJ:at her husbarxj was in love with
MurlQ Karhart William? . Is the allega
tion of rna J. Katon in a suit for di
vorce from Garrett J. Eaton, which is
ht-ir.g trd before Judge Cleland, in the
Circuit Court. As evidence. Mrs. Baton
yesterday produced a, letter which ehe
said he found in her husband s overcoat
iorkf-t, and whPh she believed had been
written to him by Miss Williams, who
wa once in his employ as a stenographer.
The trial besan yesterday morning, and
throughout the day senration after sen
sation . sprung br the plaintiff. Her
h'jshand is contrating the case, alleging
that his wife one intended to kill him,
h'it was prevented from dninjr so. A
Mr. Strieker testified that Mrs. Eaton
once yrured a revolver and was about to
shoot someone, Mrs. Stri-.kr was not sure
whom. Regarding- the incident, Mrs.
Katon testimony was rattier vague, but
)t was evident that she knew where the
weapon was. Other witnesses believed
that she was about to kill herself.
Albert B. Kerrara. Mrs. Eaton's attor
ney, created a sensation during the after
noon by making a motion that the court
it i j spend Judgment until he could have
the opportunity of requesting t hat the
District Attorney examine Katon and
bring a perjury indictment against him.
This Judge Cleland refused to do, as he
belli ved it would be in the nature of a
decision In the rase before all the evi
dence was in and it was submitted to him.
He said there wa. nothing to hinder Mr.
FVrrara going ahead with the proceedings
against Eaton if lie desired to do so.
Although Eaton la said to have deeded
all hi? property over to his wife, he de
tires tins decree of divorce to rest in his
jwn name. Jle also desires the custody
sf the two children. The couple were
married in Portland In September,
The love-letter, from one who signs her
self "Baby," was addressed to S. J. Gar
rett. 1M, First street. Mrs. Eaton says
It was meant for Oarrett Baton, her hus
band. The .epls1 was written from Mc
mlnnville, "i-lb-W." Eaton contends that
t Is not in the handwriting of Miss Wil
liams, whom he admits was once his
sii-nographer. The letter bristles with
ndaring terms, and is as follows:

ATTACKS TAX OX VEHICLES
Suit Tiled to Invalidate Art Recent
ly Passed by Council.
The city as yesterday made the de
fendant In a suit filed in the Circuit
Court In regard to the vehicle tax ordi
nance, recently passed by the Council.
George Ionff, proprietor of an Bast Side
livery stable, Instituted the proceedings,
)n behalf of a larg-e nuniher of others,
h!I of whom are Interested in the case
hccnie of the endeavor to have the metis

a piece of vicious legislation, and that
it exempts from taxation those who drive
wheel, d vehicles for pleasure only is the
contention. All who are not In this class,
undrr the terms of the ordinance now at
tacked, must pay a yearly license.
Tapers were served on City Auditor
Barbur late yesterday "afternoon, and the
cH.e was immediately turned over to
City Attorney Kavanugh. who will take
charge of 1L He contends that the or
dinance became a law the day it was
passed over the Mayor's veto, which was
February 34, and has glien a written
opinion to the efect that the referendum
cannot be appd- to it because of that
fact. Lawy er F"ra n k F. Freem an, Coun
oilman Kellaher and others declare that

Breakwater Passengers Bring Suit.
Alleging that the Southern Pacific
Company failed to matte necessary re
pairs to the steamship Breakwater and
allowed rotten and unseaworthy timbers
to remain in the bulkheads; Knut Flem
and Ole Simpson have broug-ht suit in
the Circuit Court to recover .O09 dam

while the steamer was at Coos Bay, the
bulkheads caved in, breaking Flem's
collarbone, bruising his face arid par
alyzing his lower jaw. Simpson alleges
that he had four ribs broken, his hack
Injured and will be a cripple for life.
TAKES OATH AS CAPTAIN
C. E. Baty Is Now Head of the De
tective Staff.
C. E. Baty took the oath of office as
captain of police at the City Hail yes
terday morning, having been appoint
ed to that position by the City Execu
tive Board Tuesday afternoon. There
being no eligibles on the civil service
list when the vacancy occurred, the
charter provides that a temporary ap
pointment may be made until some
one qualifies.
Captain Baty has long been working
with the plain clothes staff, but was
never appointed as a detective. He
held the rank of sergeant, or was so
a.
desfg-nated by the administration. He
frequently had charge of the detec
tive staff in the absence of ex-Cap-taln
Bruin, and in that manner be
came familiar with the duties of the
position. When Bruin left the depart
ment It waa announced that Captain
Bailey, eommandinfr. the second relief
of patrolmen, would assume the posi
tion of captain of detectives and in
spector of police. However, it seems
that T. O. Greene, chairman of the po
lice committee of the Executive Board,
deelded he would prefer Baty, and It
is now practically certain that the lat
ter, if he passes a civil service exami
nation, soon to be held, will become
the permanent head of the detective
staff.
Captain Baty is said to be well
qualified to fill the position. He is
highly rcgarded by the rank and file,
has had lonig service In the depart
ment and Is a veteran of the Spanish
American War. He has always given
excellent satisfaction wherever de
tailed and has acocmpUshed many
good captures.
Captain Bailey ia aleo an officer of
exceptionally hlgrh standing: In the de
partment, and has served faithfully
many years. Either his appointment
or that of Captain Baty w)uld have
been satisfactory to tbe men In the
department.
PACKING INDUSTRY GROWS
Seattle Man Commends Progress
Made In Oregon.
A n d r w Weber, of Seattle, who visits
Portland frequently. In connection with
his canning and packing business, was at
the Oregon Hotel yesterday. He says
that Oregon, and Portland espei'y. de
serves all kinds of credit for the manner
in which it ha3 built up the canning In
dustry within the past few years.
"You know," said Mr. Weber, "that
Oregon has had years the start of Wash
ington In the fruit-canning industry, but
between Washington and Oregon I look
for the Pacific Northwest to be the fu
ture center of this important Industry.
I remember when T first went into this
business in California, 30 years ao, that
few canneries existed in that state. Now
a start is being made in Washington and
Oregon, but Oregon is in a better posltton
right now . than Washington, for the
reason that you had the better start.
' am free to say that the cannery In
terests of Oregon have much to be proud
of in what they hava accomplished to
make the frutts of this section known to
Bastern jobbers. Oregon prunes, for in
stance, are superior today to Santa Clara
Valley. For my personal use, I would
choose the Oregon fruit at double the
price.
"As a broker In cannery good, I claim
to be pretty well in touch with conditions
In that line in this part of the country,
and am free to say that Portland looks
good to me. Business in the jobhlng line
appears to be In excellent shape here, and
I get the very best reports from the
wholesalers with whom 1 have been In
consultation since coming here.
"As to the present pack, I can say, aa
to salmon, vegetables and fruits, that
stocks here and In Sound markets are
practically sold up and If I were In the
business of selling futures I would be glad
to place them on almost any lihe for four
or five months' delivery."
WHAT $500 WILL DO.
A Small Amount of Money Rightly
Invested Brings Comfort.
Five hundred dollars paid into Tie
Spanton Co. will be a first payment on
a house ar -I lot anywhere you want it In
town, provided, of course, you don't want
too fine a house. This liberal offer is
made possible by our having a consider
able amount of Los Angelas capital for
investment. Alt we want is reasonable In

house and accept easy payments.

Ieth Warn on His Heel.
Jesse P. Morris, of Skippers, Va.. had
a close call In the spring- of 10. He
says: "An attack of pneumonia left me
so weak and with such a fearful eougrh
that my friends declared consumption

Then T was persuaded to try Dr. King a

BISHOP ARRIVES
Rt. Rev. Robert Louis Paddock
Comes to Take Up Work
in New Field.
WILL LABOR AS MISSIONARY
Leaves Crowded Sew Tork SI urns
for Sparsely-Settled West Father
Was Episcopal Bishop of '
Washington Territory.
From the crowded East Side district of
New Tork City, the most densely popu
lated section of the United States, to
Eastern Oregon, which is one of the
most sparsely settled sections of the
country, is the change just made by Rt.
P.ev. Robert Ixuis Paddeck. missionary
bishop of Eastern Oregon, wbo arrived in
Portland yesterday morning. He will
leave the city this morning for his new
field of work and will return to Portland
In May, at the time of the diocesan and
general Northwestern conventions of the
Episcopal Church, to be held here at
that time. Bishop Paddock spent yester
day in consultation with Bishop Scadding
in regard to the work to be taken up In
his new field.
Bishop Paddock Is not an entire
stranger to this section of the country,
for he was in Portland 27 years ago with
his father, who was Bishop of Washing
ton Territory. The family came by the
way of San Francisco by steamer at that
time. Bishop Paddock's uncle was elected
bishop of Oregon 40 years ago but was
unable to accept the appointment and
Bishop Morris took the position Instead.
Because of the connection of his fam
ily with this field of work. Bishop Pad
dock feels In close touch with this section
of the country and he Is very enthusias
tic, regarding the opportunities here.
Bishop Paddock will have the direc
tion of Episcopal churches throughout
the territory of -this state east of the
Cascade Mountains. From his work in
the New York slums, where the popu
lation ia so dense that there are from
3000 to 4000 to the single block and as high
as 250,000 to the square mile. Bishop Pad
dock's field ia transferred to a section
which averages two and one-half persons
to the square mile. Bishop Paddock was
Induced to take up the new work in the
Far "vV'eat because of the close connection
of his family with this section of the
country and because of the opportunities
he believes exist here for effective mis
sionary work.
Sees Opportunity In West.
The -work in the New Tork slums was
most interesting," satd Bishop Paddock
last night. "It involved not only tae
spiritual side of a man's nature, but
all other sides as well, for there was a
series of hard problems. It was a aeven-days-a-weck
religion.
"But when it was asked that Oregon
might be divided last October at the
general convention of the churches of
this country, and the work was ofTered to
me, It seemed too a-nfid an opportunity
to decline. I do not want to be the kind
of a bishop to lord It over God's heritage
but I want to be one to help the people,
and If I can only present the Christian
religion In a reasonable way I believe we
shall be able to win men who have been
careless and neglectful. Too often, per
haps, they have regarded religion aa
something by which they would give up
part of their pleasures, rather than that
It would add to their Joy of life.
"I think there is a great opportunity
of winning the young men of this country
who have not been spoiled by the criminal
extravagance and idleness and luxury of
the East, and I am hoping some day to
send these young men, from Eastern Ore
gon to help save the East. With the over
civilization that afflicts some communities
there is enormous wealth and the sqan-

derlng" of it results fn softness and de
generacy. What ia needed Is big-boned,
strong, rugged men, who have the prin
ciples and ambitions of the beat of the
young men who go to make up a new
country. There Is a need for them to
go right into the effete section and
preach a manly, muscular Christianity
with all lta breadth.
"When this la done, the church will
not be a women's and children's church
but will be essentially a man's church
so that it will inspire men to 'go out
and save society, to go out and flg-ht for
good government and for honesty In busi
ness life. I believe what is needed here
Is consecrated horse sense so we can
win these people to the church. I am
anxious to meet these ranchers and
miners of the country I shall work In
and 1 am sure there is a great future
for the church through these isolated sec
tions of this state."
Active in Keforru Work.
Bishop Paddock was active in New
York during the Van Wyck and Devery
administration In effecting a good deal
of reform work and was Instrumental
in elevating the moral tone of the dis
tricts In which he worked. When
asked If he considered there Is any
cure, for the sordid poverty of the
large cities. Bishop Paddock said:
"The conditions In the Ghetto and
elsewhere are euch because of the self
ishness and greed of society. Man
does not love his neighbor as himself.
When people realize that their money
or time or what not must be shared
with others, then this condition must
b cured. There Is no short or eaey
road, but it is fair to say there would be
very little poverty, distress and suf
fering it we all loved each other bettor
i
i
if :
t a .
and gave our means because of our'
love for our fellow man.
Bishop Paddock will leave today for
Heppner. Weston, Canyon City, On
tario and Burns. By June he hopes to
visit Prineville, Bend, Silver Lake and
Klamath Falls. He proposes to go
first to those cities of the interior
which have clergymen, and later to the
small towns which have no Episcopal
churches.

MEHTI5E ROSE FESTIVAL
DISTRIBUTION OF "INSERTS" IS
BEGUN BY COMMITTEE,
Ten Thousand of Issue of 350,000
Disposed Or First Day Will Be
Sent in Letters.
Only about lO.ono of the Rose Festival
advertising 'insert" were called for at
headquarters in the Swetland building
yesterday, by biwinew? houses and other
establishments. At the same time the
management is encouraged by the inter
est takon the first day that the big ad
vertising campaign has been under way.
The 250,000 inserts, which have been is
sued and are now ready for distribution,
are meant to serve the purpose of ad
vertising the week's festival all through
the country outside of Oregon; to supple
ment the publicity work of the transcon
tinental railroad lines, aU with a view of
bringing more tourists to Portland at
that time.
The inserts are admitted by all who
have seen them to be the most attractive
leaflets that have ever been sent out
from the Northwest, and they call brief
attention to the most conspicuous fea
tures of the celebration.
The management was particularly grat
ified yesterday afternoon when several
public school children called ad asked
for a modest number of the insert, say
ing they had boy and girl friends in the
East and that they wanted to send
the slips to them to show what Port
land Is like and what Portland is doing.
One business house sent for 6000 of the
inserts and will begin the work of mail
ing them with their regular Eastern cor
respondence today. Another bouse asked
for 2000 and several called for smaller
packages.
The festival management will keep a
eupply on hand sufficient to meet all
needs for the next two months, and urges
that hotels, restaurants and other places
of business use these leaflets In all their
outgoing mail from this time on. The
"inserts" are ofthe right size for en
closure In commercial-else envelopes and
are being distributed as rapidly as pos
sible by the clerical force of the fes
tival offices. At the same time, busi
ness houses and others can greatly assist
the exploitation work by sending messen
gers for whatever number of the inserts
they may need.
Hearty co-operation on the part of
the public Is the only thing that will
make this form of advertising serve the
purpose Intended. It Is sincerely believed
that hundreds of tourists can be Induced
to route their tickets via Portland to
see the big festival If Portland people
all get toge-ther in this feature of the
advertising campaign.
