KKGULATE SPEED OF BOATS
Fort of Portland Passes Stringent
Law Hc&urding -River Craft.
The following law has just been en
acted by the Port of Portland Commis
sion: "Wher-'HS. The running of steamboats
ion the Willamette Kiver between Ross
Island and Swan Island at a greater
peed than eight miles an hour, and be
tween Ross island and the Associated
Oil Company's dock north of Llnnton
at a greater speed than 12 miles per
liour, occasions great damage to prop
erty along the banks of said river and
to vessels moored alongside of wharves
located and abutting on eaid river, and
to log rafts moored alongside of the
ibanks of said river, and to the drydock
of the Port of Portland, located near
St. John, and to the dredges of the
J?ort of Portland when In operation ;
therefore, the Port of Portland, pur
suant to the authority conferred upon
it by law, makes and establishes the
following rules and regulations for the
navigation of steam vessels within the
.harbor of the Port of Portland between
Ross Island on the south and the mouth
of the Willamette River on the north,
namely:
"No stenm vessel shall be navigated
on the Willamette River between Ross
Inland and Swan Island at a speed of
more than eight statute miles per hour.
"No steam vessel shall be navigated on
the Willamette River between Swan
Island and the Associated Oil Com
pany's dock north of Unnton at a speed
of more than 12 statute miles per hour.
"Every steam vessel passing the dry
dock of the Port of Portland at St.
John and the dredges of the Port of
(Portland when at anchor in the Wil
lamette. River, shall be navigated under
a slow bell at a speed not more than six
statute miles per hour.
"Any person who shall run a steam
vessel on the Willamette River between
iRoss Island and the Associated Oil
Company's dock north of L.innton at a
(treater speed than hereinbefore provided
ahall bo deemed to have committed a
nuisance, and shall be punished therefor
lor each offense, upon conviction before
any court of this state having jurisdiction
of actions for the recovery of fines or pen
alties imposed by state laws, 'by a fine
of not less than fifty dollars ($.t0.00 or
jnore than two hundred and fifty dollars
t&.r0.00) or by imprisonment in the County
Jail of .Multnomah County, Oregon, for
not less than 10 days nor more than 30
clays, or by both such tine and imprison
ment at the discretion of the court."
Acting in accordance with the authority
p ranted by the state, the Port of Port
land Commission passed the above act
without a dissenting vote. The preamble
and resolution are explanatory and will
Siave the effect of stopping steamboat
racing on the Willamette River. The
matter has -been under consideration for
pome time, hut the action of the Port of
Portland Commission was hastened by
the action of several steamboat masters
who went through the harbor at full
speed last Wednesday morning and caused
considerable damage by swells to the Ger
man steamship Alesia. of the Portland &
Asiatic Steamship Company.

UNHAPPY
WIVES ARE FREED
Judge 0'Day Grows Weary of
Recital of Cruel Hus
band's Brutal Acts.
MRS. RITTER GETS DIVORCE
Spouse Not in Court This Time to
Dispute Her Charges Suits Be
gun by Barbara Greene and
Nettie JL. Bernard".
Seven unhappy couples were made into
14 happy singles yesterday morning.
Judge O'Day, of the Circuit Court, heard
the seven wives tell of their troubles. In
several instances the Iongdrawn-out tale
of woe proved too much for even the
Judge who has become accustomed to
listen to tales of the seamy side of life,
and he. cut the testimony short by telling
the lawyers to take their decrees.
Matilda Ritter succeeded yesterday in
obtaining a divorce from George Fred
erick Ritter. This is the second attempt
which has been made by the Hitters to
break this particular materimonial alli
ance, and each of them had been divorced
sevesal times from other mates before
they became husband and wife.
Contrary to expectations Ritter did not
appear in the courtroom in person, but
Lawyer Seneca Fouts was present to see
that the decree was duly granted. In a
voice which was hardly audible Mrs.
Ritter said that her husband supported
her for only two months after the wed
ding, which took place at Portland, De
cember 2, 1906. They went to live in a
flat at First and Harrison streets. She
said her husband was then earning $3 a
day, but said he had no money to spend
on her living, that she must earn that
by renting some of the rooms.
She said he once locked her in her room
and she was compelled to call a neighbor
in order to be released, making her exit
through a window. Once he was so
violent with her that she had to call a
physician. Ritter was sent to the drug
gist's for medicine, which cost 60 cents.
Before he would give it to his wife he
demanded to be reimbursed for it, saying,
"You will never get this until you pay
for it. And this is the last you will get.
When you get up I am going to take up
the carpets, and . take my furniture
away."
Mrs. Ritter continued: "When he was
hungry he would buy bologna, doughnuts
and sour wine. These he would eat by
himself, sometimes on the front porch,
sometimes in the kitchen. When I wanted
him to purchase groceries and promised
to cook them for him, he refused. He
accused me several times of stealing his
gold watch.
"I was compelled to nurse for a living.
It was his habit to inform the persons for
whom I worked that I wasn't fit to work
as a nurse. They would discharge me.
Now I can't get a position as a nurse
any more."
Mrs. Ritter was permitted to resume
her former name, Drake. Before the suit
came to trial the plaintiff and defendant
had stipulated ttiat the wife was to re
ceive none of the husband's property.
Ritter some months ago sought a
divorce before Judge - Frazer, but the
case was thrown out of court. Ritter
added to the interest of the case by
standing close beside the judge while Mrs.
Ritter was testifying, and in his German
brogue vehemently denying all her as
sertions which did not meet his mind.
In telling of the cruelties heaped upon
her by Edward Burke, 'Marie C. Burke
said that in March, 1907, while they were
living at Holbrook, he entered the house
at midnight, and seizing his wife by the
throat proceeded to beat her head against
the bed. "When I called his attention to
the wounds he was inflicting, he replied.
That's just what I want. I am going to
finish you this time, for you cannot call
for help." Mrs. Burke explained- that it
was a mile to the 4 nearest . neighbor's.
Freeing herself from his grasp she
traveled the mile in the darkness. She
said the assaults1 had become a com
mon occurrence, and that once she would
have been killed but for the intervention
of neighbors. The couple married at Van
couver, Wash., In November, 1902. The
divorce was granted.
Clara X. Prahl was granted a divorce
from Julius F. Prahl after she had told
how he threw her to the floor and
stamped upon her, sometimes varying the
treatment by bumping her head against
the wall. They were married at St.
Helens, June 6, 1S95.
Other divorces granted were as follows:
Lulu Luckey from Jesse Ray Luckey;
married in Portland, November 5, 1905,
desertion; resumed maiden name, Brous.
Emma Scheurer from William M.
Scheurer; married February 27, 1901, he
deserted November 1L 1906; resumed
former name, Mrs. Emma Harder.
Charlotte Nordean from John Nordean,
married In Multnomah County, April 6,
1907, cruelty.
Dora D. Palmer from Charles B.
Palmer: married at St. John, April 22,
1906, cruelty.
Barbara Greene has filed suit against
Harry G. Greene tn the Circuit Court. She
desires a divorce because her husband
deserted her December 12, 1905. They
were married in Portland, January 11,
1S?4.
Habitual drunkenness is the charge
Nettle L. Bernard brings against her hus
band, Otis S. Bernard. She says she
married him at Colville, Wash., April 28,
1901, and that he began to go on long
sprees three months later. Unable to
endure his abuse she says she left him
June 23, 1907.

Montgomery Will Plead Guilty to
Embezzlement and Clear Others.
PITTSBURG. May 1 5. William
Montgomery, former cashier of the Al
legheny National Bank, but now under
arrest on a charge of embezzling $469,
000 of the bank's funds, made a com
plete statement yesterday to the bank's
attorney, Clarence Burleigh, and an
swered all questions. Burleigh said last
night:
"Mr. Montgomery answered all ques
tions put to him. He told me he had
lost amounts of money during the past
two years in the stock market. He
made no effort to exculpate himself
and none to implicate any other per
son. He insisted that he was reson
sible for the entire shortage and de
nied that anyone either in the Dank or
outside of it was associated with hit.i
in the affair.
"He has already, or will in the near
future, turn over to the bank $150,000
or $200,000 in sureties and real estate.
Montgomery will step into court and
plead guilty and that will be all."
The directors of the bank and rep
resentatives of a number of other large
financial institutions of the city, today
took action to raise a fund of $500,000
cash, which will be placed In the bank
for the purpose of assuring the de
positors and public of the unimpaired
solidity of the bank. The management
will also be reorganized.
, It is persistently rumored that the
shortage will exceed $1,000,000. but this

"Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey

is that, I am stronger and better
