SEPARATE BOXES REQUIRED BufiMlvllle, "Woodstock, Anabel, South Mount Tabor and Part of Arleta May Vote to Come Into the City. Voters in three Portland suburbs are to vote on. the annexation question. Sepa rate ballot boxes have been provided by County Clerk Fields for the precincts In volved. In Precinct 92, the special ballot ing will be almost a burden, for four boxes have been provided. This portion of the precinct is the southeast quarter of section 21. One ballot box, the large one. Is for the general ballots, one Is for the district ballots and two boxes are for annexation ballots. Two divisions of the county, in which the annexation question arises, Include this portion of Precinct 92. Citizens of this portion of the precinct will, there fore, say whether they want to be an nexed in conjunction with Precincts 73 and BOi, or with a portion of Precinct 9 Hussellville. The other portion of the county in which the annevation question is to be voted on Includes Precincts M, Woodstock; 95, Anabel; 96, South Mount Tabor; 97, and portion of Arleta. Though one precinct should vote for annexation this would not bring the ter ritory into the City of Portland. The vote on each division involved will de cide the question. Voters Should Study Ballot. Mr. Fields recommends that every voter in th county obtain a sample ballot, and study It before election day. He said yes terday that if this is not done much time will be spent by the electors at the polls next Monday, as the balloting will be very slow. Two crews were Bent out yesterday to erect the portable canvas voting booths on the East Side. They will be located In practically the same positions as those selected for the primary election, except for a few changes which have been made for convenience. In order to prepare for any contingency. Air. Fields has instructed the men to erect the tents on high ground where possible. This is being done to keep the booths as dry as possible in case it rains Monday. letters to the judges and clerks of eleo tlon were sent out yesterday by Mr. Fields. These contain instructions re garding the manner of conducting the election. The County Clerk is also send ing to the members of the election boards blank bills, upon which they will indi cate the length of time they have served at the polls.

WARM CAMPAIGN IS WAGED Both Sides Claim Victory on Ques tion of Annexation. The Mount Scott Annexation Club will hold Its final meeting tonight In the hall at Nashville. Several speakers will ad dress the people. Including; Walter Thomas Mills. With the near approach of election the fltrht for and against an nexation In this district Is becoming In tense. The annexation boosters are working nfjcht and day. Annexation Is the topic discussed in the homes and places of business between Anabel and Grays Crossing. The anti-annexation forces also are busy. They are not hold ing public meetings, but they are, but tonholing every one who has a vote. Considerable feeling has been projected into the campaign. Annexationists claim they will win by a majority ranging from BO to 100. while the opponents have figured out that they will win by an even larger margin. The water supply, taxation, school affairs and possible increased expenses are among the questions that are being dis cussed. In the territory along the eastern side of Montavilla, where a vote on annexa tion will be held next Monday, strong opposition has also developed. There 1s no doubt but annextion in Rose City Park will carry. A vote will be taken In that territory because the vote last year was Illegal. ISfiRCHITECT'S LIES VALID? POINT AT ISSUE IX SUIT, IX THE CIRCUIT COURT. Action Brought by A. J. Capron Re lates to Building Erected for S. V. Davidor In St. John. Whether or not an architect can hold a valid lien upon property for which he has made drawings, is the question which Judge Cleland has under consid eration in the suit of Albert J. Capron against himself, Matilda Light, P. H. Light. C. Goodrich, F. Losch and S. V. Davidor. The case was submitted to the court yesterday and will be decided at 9:30 Saturday morning. The suit was brought to foreclose a mechanics' lien for 286. The building In question is located at St. John. It appeared from the testi mony given in court that Davidor leased the ground floor of the building with the intention of putting in a bank. The money stringency of last Fall came on, and about that tlme'C. Goodrich, the contractor, fell behind In the construc tion work. Light is said to have dis charged Goodrich, but it is also as serted that the latter appeared on the premises at intervals. Then Light had Goodrich arrested for trespass, but nothing came of it. Light then went to Davidor, It appears, and negotiated for tho purchase of the latter's lease. After this no more trouble with Good rich was experienced. This is the second suit brought into the Circuit Court recently over this same building. The other suit was brought by Losch against Davidor to recover $777.42 damages and costs for the material and labor furnished by Losch in the construction of a bank vault for Davidor. It was alleged that Davidor refused payment. When the case came to trial neither Losch nor his attorney appeared, and the court dismissed the suit, awarding Davidor his costs. BRINGS SUIT FOR INJUNCTION C. B. AVebb Demands That Factory Agents Cease Crossing His Land. Judge Bronaugh in the Circuit Court, listened yesterday to testimony in th suit of C. B. Webb against the Doern becher Manufacturing Company. Webb is seeking an injunction restraining the manufacturing company from trespas sing on his premises, or breaking down his fences. He asserts that he is the owner of block 4, York addition to Portland, at the intersection of the O. R. & N. railway track with East 28th street. The company, it is asserted, has been using his property as a roadway for a year. Webb said yesterday that he is endeavoring to improve the prop erty but that the company tears down his fences. The members of the firm allege that when they purchased their property, adjoining that of Webb, they also pur chased a right of way over his land. The plot upon which the Doernbecher plant stands was purchased from the Hawthorne estate. The case was con tinued until this morning. Gets Judgment for Commission. W. O. N. Morrison was awarded (468.50 damages by Judge O'Day, of the Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon in his suit against E. E. Miller. Morrison brought suit to recover 9S7.B0. He as serted yesterday that In December, 1906, Miller was the agent for property In Cowlitz county, Washington, valued at $37,500, and belonging to. a Mr. Muckle. Miller employed Morrison, according to the latter's testimony, to find a pur chaser. Morrison -brought buyer and seller together, and Miller received $1875 commission. He refused, how ever, to pay Morrison for his services. Miller testified that the $1875 commis sion belonged to E. Turney, MiBS L. E. Haymore and himself, doing business as the City Realty & Building Company. 'ERUPTION OF' VESUVIUS' Scat Sale Opens Today for Pain Spectacle on Multnomah Field.

Vinberg's Overzealous Efforts to Secure Patrons for North End Pawnshop Result In a Charge of Vagrancy. Any woman who looks back repeatedly uhfMrhe,haSJeaSon to belleve ome-man flirt,". K,Kher' 18 qulte as su" ot flirting as the man in her wake. This Is the effect of a finding made yester day forenoon by Municipal Judge Cam eron in passsing on the case of a young married woman who caused the arrest of a Greek dandy, under the mashing law. It doesn t matter either what her mo tive may be in looking back. In this particular case the woman said she h.wea "Vt to sc lf th8 man wa from ii. I Was tryln8r to Bet awav from him. she said, but In the light of the testimony adduced, the Court found that the woman showed entirely too much curiosity regarding the movements of her pursuer. Mrs Edna Mormur, residing In Aiblna. was the complaining witness In the case and Gas Stamatis, a salesman, ap peared In the role of masher. The case was before the court on Tuesday, but was settled yesterday. Mrs. Mormur appeared very Indignant at the attempts to Stamatis to make her acquaintance. She said that on Monday night she was down town late and start ed homeward. She went to Third and Oak streets for a car, but as no car was in sight, walked on down Oak past the police station to Second. Shortly after leaving Oak and Third she became conscious of the fact that a dudlsh-appearing young fellow was fol lowing close behind her. When she stopped at Second and Oak the fellow stopped likewise, and as Bhe decided to stroll north on Second while awaiting one of the perennially belated streetcars, the man moved in the same direction. Walking to Pine. Mrs. Mormur looked back and her pursuer was close behind. She maneuvered around the block and he did the same thing. Her own shadow could not have been more constant. Los ing patience, she called a policeman and had the fellow arrested. It was Sta matis. That Individual u - 1 l wwij w I c itujis as set forth, but had his own peculiar version oi tne airair. Mrs. Mormur looked at him most invitingly In 'pass ing him on the street, he said, and when he walked along behind her thinking she might be lonesome, she looked back re peatedly. That appealed to him as being marked encouragement, and when she in vaded the risque territory north of the police station he said he felt sure she was not one whose finer sensibilities would be wounded by his unseemly con duct In following her. While affirming that he has fib pa tience with the flirt variety of human beings, the Court held that Stamatis ' juaiuil.auuil 1UI the belief that Mrs. Mormur was as will ing as no 10 orusn up an acquaintance. Accordingly the masher was given his high Indignation. Pawnbroklng methods in North Port land are reaching a fine pass. Complaints of people who are literally forced inside one of these places have been heard for months past, but a new variety of business enterprise came to light yesterday, when L.. M. Vinberg, salesman and assistant at the London Loan Office, was tried In the Municipal Court on a charge of vagrancy. The charge of vagrancy was placed against Vinberg by Deputy City Attorney Tomlinson. because no other , charge would fit Vinberg's misconduct, and while vagrancy was hardly suited, the prose cutor, with characteristic seal, fought for a conviction under that law. rather than see a man of Vinberg's stripe go unpunished. a It was shown by the testimony that Vinberg works out in the street. When someone happens along who does not appear to have much firmness or ag gressiveness but a little money, it is Vinberg's duty to Inveigle him into the store. One of Vinberg's victims was looking in a window when Vinberg stepped up to admire a heavy band ring the man was wearing. "What did you pay for itr Vinberg asked. "I got it at a bargain for J9," was the reply. "That sounds pretty steep let me look at it, if you don't mind I'm a great fancier of rings," was Vinberg's next re mark. The unwary stranger did as requested. Vinberg reported that the ring did not seem worth much and asked the man to step Into "the store." Here he exam ined it with a glass, turned it over in his hand a few times, and, taking a tag from a drawer, wrote, "charges $1.25." The astounded victim wanted to know what the charges were for and Vinberg told him it was for making an expert examination of the ring. . The fellow protested, but ended by paying the amount In order to secure the return of his ring. Another man had a tin watch he bought for 12. Vinberg got talking with him and asked to see the watch. He 6aid It was a fine watch, but didn't seem to be keeping good time. The stranger admitted as much. Vinberg took the watch Inside, took the works out. tam pered with it, gave it to a second man for examination and then put a charge tag on the watch calling for $3.75. And having the gift of gab, he talked the weak-spirited victim into paying $1.75 more than the watch was worth for fan cied repairs. Those are two characteristic examples of his art. Mr. Tomlinson insisted that since Vinberg was not engaged Jn lawful occupation he could have ho visible means of support and therefore that he must "be guilty of vagrancy. Vinberg had a wordy lawyer to dispute this and offer voluminous authority. Judge Cameron said he would take the case under ad visement. John Shultz' business seal nearly re sulted fatally yesterday morning. Following out a much-used plan, which peddlers have for besting wholesale mer chants, he operated at the Davenport Thompson produce house yesterday morning and was literacy kicked out into the street by Robert West, an em ploye. Shulti struck against a metal contrivance while falling and only the substantial thickness of his skull warded off possibility of serious consequences. Shultz had West arrested for assault and the case was heard at once by Judge Cameron. Shultz told of the assault and even declared the produce employe hit him in the head with a sledgehammer. West explained the reasons for. the as sault. He said Shultz. following a com mon practice, bought several bunches More proof that Lydia E. Plnk ham's Vegetable Compound re stores women to normal health. Mrs. Mattie Copenhaver, of 31 So. 21st St., Parsons, Kans., writes: " For two years I suffered from the worst forms of feminine ills, until I was almost driven frantic Nothing but mor phine would relieve me, Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound brought me health and happiness, and made me a well woman. Every sick woman should benefit by my experience." ; FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy, for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeliiig, flatulency, indiges tion,dizziness,ornervous prostration. Why don't you try it ? Don't hesitate to write to Mrs. Pink ham if there is anything about your sickness you do not understand. She will treat your letterin confidence and advise you free. No woman ever regretted writing her, and because of her vast experience she has helped thousands. Address. Lynn, Mass. of bananas, and as each bunch was taken to the scales for wleghing, broke off from six to a dozen on the pretext that they were too green. After the bananas had been weighed the enterprising ven dor would appropriate the "green" ba nanas without the formality of paying for them. West had a dozen of bananas which Shultz broke off in court and they were anything but green. "I told him to quit that kind of busi ness, but he kept it up until I kicked him out," said West. As the charge of assault had been clearly established, no matter what the provocation, the court imposed a small fine. The evidence was assimilated by court attaches with a little assistance from the court, after the regular session, and all voted that it was anything but green. W. H.
