Adolph Leanders, son of a bricklayer residing in Lower Albino, will serve 30 days in the City Jail because of his per sistence in seeking luxuries that are open only to the offspring: of million aires. I-eanders is suffering from aa acute mania. for riding about In automo biles and carriages. Notwithstanding his lack of means, be has managed to secure big touring cars every few nights, having the bill charged with the lofty assertion that he would drop around and pay up as soon as he could get to the bank. Automobile drivers and coachmen have been after Leanders' scalp for some months past. Many of them have been victimized, at least one driver being kept out all night with a big 40-horse-power touring tar, only to be staved off f.r his pay when the hour for settle ment came with the dawn. But there was no recourse, for it isn't a criminal offense to have a bill for auto hire charged, even though the chauffeur pro tests until he is black in the face. . The only protection that could be had against l.i andors was that of publicity, and, act ing on that theory, descriptions of the young fraud were passed about among the various professionals. Leanders' fall came yesterday morning, however, after he had been out the Linn ton road in company with Arthur Cart wright and two young women. When the touring car reached town Leanders asked that the bill of $15 be charged to his account and the driver refused to do this, demanding immediate payment. There was a wrangling match at Stark and Sixth streets, which could be heard a block away, the driver waxing abusive and Leanders respondingin kind. Other drivers began collecting and Cartwrlght then joined In the squabble. A fist fight was imminent and only the arrival of Patrolman Barzee prevented trouble. The cause of the disturbance was ex plained to the officer, but there seeemed no charge under which Leanders could be arrested, as he had not used abusive or profane language. Inasmuch as it was past 2 o'clock A. M., the officer final ly tliok both young men to the station, where they were locked up for being out after hours without lawful business. The offense Is not a serious one, but on account of Leanders' past habits Mu nicipal Judge Cameron decided to make him pay for a few of his previous sins. Attention was called by Deputy City At torney Tomlinson to the fact that simi lar complaints had been made against Leanders in the past and the court then Imposed a sentence of 30 days in the City Jail. "1 ' thought Cartwright was going to pay for the drive," said Leanders." He invited the young women to go and I only went along. "Leanders Invited me and I thought, of course, he was going to pay," pro tested Cartwright, who is employed by a local Arm as stenographer. In view of Leanders' past record he had to stand the full burden of retribu tion. Young Cartwright was given a mild lecture and allowed to depart under, a continued sentence. John Nordeau will have to stand trial in the Municipal Court today because he went home yesterday. There is no enigma in the statement, but It Is literally true. Nordeau went to his home at 314 East Forty-seventh street. deposited his personal effects in the hall and proceeded to make himself comfortable. Mrs. Nordeau ordered him out. She called attention to the fact that she se cured a divorce from him several weeks ago and that accordingly she didn't care to entertain strange men at the house. She said she was in no mood for recon ciliation, that she had been relieved of the necessity of loving, honoring and obeying and that she wished he would depart at once. Nordeau didn't want to go. M. B. Meacham. a lawyer who se cured the divorce for Mrs. Nordeau. was notified of the visitation, and he went to the Municipal Court and secured a warrant for the arrest of Nordeau, charging the one-time head of the house hold with trespassing. A few minutes later Patrolman "Wilson went to the place where Nordeau was lately lord and master and ejected him bodily. The of ficer took the Intruder to the police sta tion,' where he was booked and locked up pending his appearance In court thts morning. M. Barde. of 628 Fourth street, will also favor the courtroom with his pres ence because of having left his automo bile In the street over night, as ex pressly prohibited by the city ordinances. lr. Barde called on the police yester day, following the Issuance of a war rant for his arrest, to report that the auto was left out for use in case of emer gency, Mrs. Barde being 111. Fearing her condition might necessitate the Imme diate services of a physician during the niKht, ho had the machine all In readi ness. Accordingly he said he thought he ought to be relieved from prosecution. Tatrolman Stark Lytle investigated this and reported to headquarters that he thought the excuse was hardly well warranted, and so the charge was not - dropped. Three other automobile drivers were In trouble because of having engaged In experiments seemingly to overcome mo mentum to such a degree as to baffle the s.se of sight. Fred A. Krebs. E. V Manning and E. A. Jenkins were all before the court charged with having driven their machines at a pace which suggested they were pursuing bullets tired from a high-power rifle. Krebs and Manning pleaded guilty and Jenkins was found guilty after a brief trial. The court gave them a scathing lecture on the evils and dangers of scorching and turned them loose under suspended sentences. Receives American Pilgrima. ROME. May 81. The Pope today re ceived 300 German-American pilgrims, led by Mr. Oelkera. president of the Central Association of Catholics of North America. Mr. Oelkers read an a.idress In German, expressing loyalty to the Pope and presenting greetings and a contribution of Peter's pence for the Papal Jubilee. The Pope made his reply in Italian, thanked the pilgrims warmly for their greeting and blessed 4henvand their famiHaa. - -r.J5: f." - " '. v m " s i vA ; 7 ' 1 r J ARTHUR ALEXANDER, II WANT ROOMS Accommodations Lacking for Rose Festival Guests. CITIZENS MUST ASSIST President Whltemore "Crge9 Need of Co-operation or Local Hotels and Lodging-Houses, as Well as Householders. "If we are to be proper hosts and host esses for the many thousands of guests that will be here during the Rose Festi val, our citizens, that Is, our hotels, our lodging-houses, boarding-houses, apartment-houses and private homes which have accommodations for visitors must assist us in providing bed and board for them In a much more satisfactory man ner than has been done in the past." This statement was made last night by Proolrtont c A. 'Whltemore. of the Port- 1 land Rose Festival. Applications have ' been received from every part of the Northwest for board and rooms, from small and large parties, and the reserva tions and accommodations registered with the information and accommodation bu reau of the Festival are less than one third the demand already made. According to President Whitemore, the interest shown in the Festival will mean that tens of thousands of people will be here, and unless suitable accommodations are provided, Portland will not be able to take care of the great Influx at the last moment. "We are to have not less than four Pullman cars filled with Chicago real es tate men here for the Festival," said President Whitemore last night, "and so far as we have been able to learn, none of the local hotels have made any bid for accommodating this crowd of visitors. I also know of two or three large tour ist parties of Easterners, one from New England, one from New York, and another from the South, each comprising not less than 100 people, who will be here. A num ber of Eastern Oregon communities have asked us what rates would be made for visitors, and we have every reason to believe that Baker City, Sumpter. Pen dleton, Heppncr and other towns in that region will send large delegations here, and what are we going to do with them unless previous preparations are made?" Nearly 60 automobile entries for the com petitive motor-car contest to be held June 4, were made within the last two days, and it now looks as if this turn-out will be one of the most brilliant features of the entire week's programme. Denver and Salt Lake entries have already been re ceived and applications have come from the Spokane Automobile Club. What Se attle and Tacoma will do is largely prob lematical, although the local committee has been assured that a good many motor-car owners of the Sound country are planning to make the trip from both Seattle and Tacoma to Portland, after the formal ceremonies of welcoming the war ship fleet Is over. Local automobile agen cies have sent urgent letters to agencies at both Sound cities, asking them to take part, not only In the 100-mile and 60-mlle race on Wednesday, but also in the grand competitive motor-car run on Thursday. Master Fish Warden Harry C. MeAllis ter? who Is chairman of the water car nival committee, has just returned from Astoria, and reports that there will be not less than 50 and probably 100 entries from the down-river town in the marine pageant in the local harbor on Wednes day night. He says he found the Astoria people very enthusiastic and that every commercial and pleasure craft, large and small, of all classes, would be sent up to Portland for the marine carnival, so far as conditions would permit. Collaborating with Harbormaster Speier, Chairman McAllister is endeavoring to persuade the 40 or 50 dock-owners along the beach to clean up and dress up their property for the Festival week. Most of them say they will not only have a house cleaning day, but will decorate In Festival colors: but what is more essential, ac cording to the committee, is to have everybody join in the movement. As a sample of the real Festival spirit, the improvement clubs in more than half the districts on the East Side have un dertaken the work of cleaning up their own territory. Some time ago the Cham ber of Commerce Inaugurated a "house cleaning" movement, but the committee did nothing, and so the East Side or ganizations have gone ahead and cleared up their front yards, their back yards and their street frontages. The work Is still going on. Long Term for Record Deserter.

J. Adams, and was assigned to the Thirty first Company Coast Artillery Corps. Three days later he deserted. All told, he enlisted 11 times, and ten times he got away with uniforms, which it is sup posed he sold. Before the court-martial he was tried on seven charges six for deserting In time of peace, and one for deserting in time of war. CAREER ON CYPRUS Rev. W. R. Llvingstne, Missionary, Visits City. Rev. W.- R. Livingstone, an' Episcopal missionary and a cousin of the late David Livingstone, whose career has been almost as adventurous as that of his famous relative, ia In Portland after a journey of several thousand miles from the Holy Land, where he has been preach ing the Gospel. For several years Rev. Mr. Livingstone has been located on the Isle of- Cyprus. 12 miles from Jerusalem, and has been engaged in missionary and educational work at Plato and Socrates, the two principal cities of the island. Rev. Mr. Livingstone has had a career equalled by but , few. Five years ago, when stationed in Southern Russia, while making a journey from Baku to Batoun, a distance of 900 miles, he was seized by soldiers of the Czar and locked up as a spy. His only offense was to have at tempted the inspection of some of the Russian barracks, but nevertheless he narrowly escaped from being put to death. He was able to convince one of the high officers of his Innocence, how- ever, ana was auowea nis ireeaom. wnue in Batoun, Rev. Mr. Livingstone preached among a people where 13 languages were commonly spoken, and he was compelled to use four or five languages himself. Ba toun Is but a few miles from Mount Ararat, where the ark rested after the great flood, and the missionary has sev eral times climbed the mountain. On the Isle of Cyprus, one of the larger Mediterranean group, where the missionary spent the last three years, the Greek and Roman Churches, he says, are doing much to help the extension of re ligion. The work of the Greek school masters he describes as being most praiseworthy. Foreign missionaries are aided by these people end everything Is done to make the work easy for them. One English newspaper is published on the island, while six Greek papers have a general circulation in Plato and Soc rates. The island Is owned by the Turks, but is controlled by the British. The ma jority of lis Inhabitants are Greeks. The ruling body, according to Rev. Mr. Liv ingston, is a Parliament, where speeches and addresses are translated into three tongues. The Greek women, says the. missionary, are as pretty as the white women, as a rule, and are much better educated than the women of Turkey. Rev. Mr. Livingston was for several years inspector of Greek schools at Cyprus. He declares that the Eastern Mediterranean has cause to be grateful to American missionaries for the admir able examples of institutions of learning at Beyrout. Visiting Tarsus, the mis sionary spent a few days as the guest of Dr. Christie, the well known American missionary. Rev. Mr. Livingston is a Britisher and Is a graduate, with an CM. A. degree, from Oxford and Melbourne. He is tired of for eign countries and hopes to remain for a while, If possible. In America. He Is thinking of locating In Oregon. The mis sionary has followed President Roosevelt's administration and thinks him an admir able man. Rev. Mr. Livingston was a delegate to the recent peace congress and abhors war or fighting of any kind. He is much opposed to the so-called capital ist class of this country and declares that the morals of the English business man are much higher than those of his Amer ican brother. Rev. Mr. Livingston reg istered at the Hotel Danmoore. DAILY CITY STATISTICS . Deaths. PBDERPEN At Portland. May 20. Znhl Pedersen. a native of Norway, ase 30 years. Interment. South Bend. Wash.

Smltfe DECIDE SENATORIAL FIGHT Newcomers Are Not Concerned in Local Factions, Cake Partisans Reason, and Will Naturally Vote for the Republican. Each side in the contest between Cake and Chamberlain for United States Sen ator declares that Its candidates will win by between 5000 and 10,000 votes in the election 10 days hence. The Cake forces are much encouraged by events of this week and say that the Republican party vote Is unmistakably uniting In support of Cake. - . Each camp virtually concedes that the "new vote' may decide the contest. This vote is composed mostly of newcomers in Oregon to the probable number of 25.000, of whom 10,000 are registered in Multnomah County. A considerable number also are young men who have resided some years In .this state and have Just come to the voting age. Both Cake and Chamberlain men figure that most of the probable 26.000 Increase is made up of men who are normally Repub licanperhaps between 15,000 and 20,000 of them this because they come from Republican Btates of the East and the Middle West. Anxiety in Chamberlain Ranks. The Cake men profess confidence that most of the new vote will be cast for Cake, the Republican nominee. This opinion in the Cake camp is matched by anxiety In the Chamberlain ranks. If the election were in the hands of the voters who twice have elected Chamber Iain Governor, Democrats would have more confidence in the outcome. But the 15,000 or 20,000 new Republicans who never have shared in the factional wars of the Republican party in Oregon and know little of the old rivalries, give the Chamberlain forces a large amount of worry. So much concern has this new vote In jected Into the Democrats that they are relying on the outside counties to elect Chamberlain, where the bulk of the old vote dwells. They do not count on a large majority In Multnomah County for their candidate, although some of them may announce the contrary. The, 10,000 new registered votes in this county, of whom 7500 are probably Republicans, if adhering to the party ticket, would cer tainly give Multnomah Oounty to Cake by a big majority. On this expectation the Cake men are basing their reliance. J. P. Kennedy, chairman of the Repub lican county committee, said yesterday that most of the new vote undoubtedly will be cast for Cake. Not Interested in Factions. "This vote." ' he remarked, "comes from Republican states, where the people are not familiar with the factional wran gles that have convulsed the Republican party in Oregon. This vote will have no wish to continue those wrangles, espe cially wtfien it sees National Issues In volved. The time has come for ending factional wars in the Republican party of this state. I believe that the many thousands of new Republican voters will take this view and support Mr. Cake." The Cake reliance on this vote has put vim Into his campaign. In Jackson County, where there is a large new ele ment of population, he has made a vig orous campaign. In Multnomah County his supporters are putting forth their energy. Elsewhere Cake is working ac tively for Republican support also. Chamberlain has been campaigning for the Republican vote that twice elected' him Governor, in many parts of the state, but will wind up his fight in the county where he needs a majority most Mult nomah. If it were not for Multnomah County's 10,000 new votes, the Democrats would feel easier. MANNING TAIKS TO VOTERS Democratic Campaign Rally at Nashville Largely Attended. A campaign rally was held at Nash ville under the auspices of the Demo cratic cdunty central committee last night, which was attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd of voters. Dis trict Attorney John Manning, who is a candidate for re-election; Tom M. Word, the shrievalty candidate; John A. Jeffreys, the aspirant for Congress, and A. King Wilson and Walter C. Farnham, candidates for the State Legislature, addressed the gathering;. Mr. Manning was greeted with con siderable enthusiasm when he arose to speak on the Issues of the campaign, and while explaining his conduct of the case against the officials of the wrecked Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany bank he was frequently Inter rupted by prolonged applause. In ad dition to the candidates, short talks were made by John H. Stevenson and Edward Cahalin. The Oregon quartet contributed several pleasing musical numbers during the evening. POSSE TRAILS SUSPECT Will Arrest Frank Peterson for Shooting Charles Stevens. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., May 2L (Special.) A Sheriff's posse tonight Is hunting the country between this city and Wapato for Frank Peterson, sus pected of being the man who this morn ing fired at Charles Stevens, rancher of Wapato, with a Winchester rifle, wound ing Stevens In the arm. The crime was committed in an alfalfa field half a mile from the reservation town. The would-be assassin, with an unknown friend, took up a position on the bank of the irrigation canal, com manding a view over the alfalfa of Ste vens home.' The latter came out of his house about o'clock and began hoeing in his cantaloupe field. Almost immedi ately the shot was fired. Peterson Is suspected because he has had trouble with his wife, from whom he has separated, and he has been heard to assert that she was becoming too friendly with Stevens.

Many of them ran to the fire escape, down which they climbed, while a smaller number were compelled to leap from the windows of the two upper floors. The majority of those who sus tained Injuries were hurt in this manner. The identity of the one man killed" has not yet been established. He was seen near a window and was heard to call to the firemen for help, but before they could reach him he fell backward into the flames.
