FOR THIRD TIME
Executive Board Acts on Com
plaint of Greene Dismissing
Day and His Associates.
APPEAL WILL BE . TAKEN
Heuths Said to Have Good Case Be
fore Civil Sprvlce Commission,
as Trial Was Forced During
Absence of Attorney.
City Detectives Joe Day, Frank J. Snow,
L. G. Carpenter and Joseph F. Resing
were discharged from the police service
of Portland yesterday afternoon by the
Executive Board, this being the second
time that body has taken similar action.
The four officers were first dismissed
by direct order of Mayor Lane, yesterday
making the third time they have been
officially deprived of their stars. That
they will again take an appeal to the
Civil Service Commission is said to be
certain.
The Civil Service Commission ordered
the reinstatement of the four officers as
detectives two weeks ago, after a series
of trials, appeals and all manner of for
mal hearings and official acts, including
court proceedings. The matter had been
further complicated when Police Commis
sioners Greene and Sabin ordered Chief
Gritzmacher to put the men at work in
uniform. The detectives refused to do
this work, setting forth that they could
not legally he deprived of their original
rank of detectives under civil service clas
sification. Stood y Asked for Delay.
Acting upon the advice of Attorney
Kalph K. Moody, the four detectives de
clined to go to work in uniform, and Joe
Day secured an injunction from Circuit
Judge Cleland, restraining Chief Gritz
macher from carrying out the order.
which virtually reduced Day and his
brother detectives in rank. Mr. Moody,
being elected a delegate to the Elks con
vention at Dallas, Tex., personally -in
formed Mr. Greene of the fact that he
would leave for Texas, and requesting
that nothing further be done. He left
and had hardly gone when Mr. Greene
filed charges of insubordination, disobedi
ence to orders and refusal to comply with
the rules of the department, all of the
four detectlves'belng included. Sitting as
chairman of the examining board, Thurs
day night, Mr. Greene refused a postpone
ment until Mr. Moody's return, and forced
the detectives to trial.
When the Kxecutive Board met yester
day afternoon, the report of the police
committee was to the effect that the de
tectives were guilty as charged by Chair
man Greene, and recommended their dis
charge. As no member of the Executive
Board interfered, the report was adopted,
discharging the officers. Because of the
actions of Chairman Greene in ordering
tne detectives into uniforms, and in fore
tng their cases to trial in the absence of
their regular attorney Thursday night,
it is freely predicted in official circles
that the Civil Service Commission will
reverse the Executive Board again.
Nelson Is Fined $20.
After hearing evidence against Police
man Olaus Nelson, crossing officer at
Fifth and Washington streets, the police
committee recommended that he be fined
$30 and be reprimanded. He was found
guilty of using abusive language toward
K. R. Plttelkau. a Washington-street mer
chant. Nelson positively denied the ac
cusation. He is the officer who was shot
some years ago by .Charles Walton, in a
streetcar hold-up, and is one of the best
known patrolmen In the local service. -
tlty Detectives Hawley-and Inskeep,
charged with conduct unbecoming offi
cers, were exonerated. Gregory B. Mat
len. a Russian, accused the officers of
unduly, meddling in his domestic affairs,
but his allegations were found to be with
out foundation in fact, his own wife testi
fying that he is virtually insane.
The police committee also reported that
inasmuch as every member of the police
force is in reality a humane officer, and
bound to enforce all the laws regulating
the humane service, and inasmuch as
there is a shortage of patrolmen, no
special officer be assigned to do exclusive
duty as humane officer to assist Humane
Officer Crate. The report was adopted.

MUSIC UNION HEAD HERE
Joseph X. Weber Talks or Status of
American Musician.
Joseph N Weber, of Cincinnati, presi
dent of the American Federation of Musi
cians, arrived in Portland vesterday
morning and left last night for Seattle,
where he will confer with the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition officials with
regard to matters affecting the Federa
tion of Musicians. Mr. Weber is making
a tour of the cities of the Middle West
and Pacific Coast States, for the purpose
of becoming acquainted with the person
net and needs of the local organization.
Mr. Weber was the guest yesterday of the
members of the local Musicians' Federa-J
lion at luncn . at tne noiei Portland and
later spent some time at the headquar
ters of that body in Drew Hall. Presi
dent Weber expressed himself as grati
fied with the status of the affairs of the
local branch.
"Conditions with regard to the Portland
local are satisfactory in every way," said
Mr. Weber. "The standard here is second
to none. The affairs of the organization
are well administered. In fact it is
known to be one of the best branches in
the country. The National organization
comprises 482 locals in the United States
and Canada. The membership now num
bers about 60,000. Our National treasury
is in a flourishing condition, as are also
those of the local bodies for the most
part. The federation maintains its own
newspaper. The secretary and editor's
offices are located in St. Louis. The
president's office Is in Cincinnati. While
its efforts are largely directed toward
the material welfare of its members, the
federation also aspires to do something
lasting for the musical art in the United
States. It desires to give the American
boy of musical talent the opportunity to
develop it, so that eventually we will
have symphony orchestras made up ex
clusively of American-born musicians.
Before the advent of the federation the
musical organizations of this country
were composed largely of foreigners.
Take for example the symphonies: There
was a time when the American boy in
those organizations was . an exception.
Through the efforts of the federation they
are beginning to be the rule. It is only a
question of time until the American musi
cians will be In the front rank in the
musical world, If not the leaders. I say
this without bias, as I was born in
Europe, but fortunately came to America
early enough to be trained under the
American standard.
"The American Federation of Musicians
is much misunderstood. The'press of the
country affects to believe that the cause
of music In this country is hindered
rather than aided by organized musicians.
Tills is entirely a misconception. The
fact that such representative musicians
as Damrosch, Sousa and other leaders
are members of the federation proves it."
GRADUATES OF COLLEGES
Mostly .New Doctors Want Licenses.
Announcement July 22.
At the meeting of the Board of Medi
cal Examiners, which adjourned yester
day after receiving the examination
papers of the applicants for state license
to practice medicine in Oregon, other mat
ters of a routine nature were considered.
About 80 "per cent of the applicants for
licenses were recent graduates from medi
cal colleges, the others being old prac
titioners from different sections of the
country and Canada. One doctor was a
graduate of 1S50, who has come to Ore
gon to make his home. The Board re
voked the license of Dr. J. Micheaux, of
McMinnvllle, on sustained charges of in
temperance. The next meeting of the Board will be
held July 22 in Portland, at which time
reports will be handed In on the per
centages shown by the recent applicants
for licenses.

DELEGATES TO MEETING OF OLDEST ACADEMIC FRATERNITY IJ EXISTENCE, WHO YESTERDAY ELECTED OFFICERS FOR YEAR.
At the final meeting of the Pi Delta Koppa Fraternity, held yesterday morning in the Portland Commercial Club, the following officers were elected to serve during the ensu
ing year: Grand president. Elmer Young, Portland; grand vice-president, Forrest Brouch, San Jose, Cal.; grand secretary, David Brant, Los Angeles; grand treasurer, Lester Wessen
dorf, Santa Cruz; grand master of ceremonies. R. C. Beckett, San Diego; Grand Guard, Elwood Bane, Nevada. ,
At yesterdays session a resolution was passed naming Berkeley, Cal., as the meeting place for the 1909 conclave. The convention will open in that city, commencing July ,19.
Berkeley will be assisted by chapters located t San Francisco. Oakland. Alameda and Tamalpais. " ,
Yesterday's meeting concludes the work of the present conclave. The delegates will today lunch at the Commercial Club and later attend the-ball game. Tonight they will be
entertained by President Freeman. " " '
The PI Delta Koppa fraternity was founded on April 19, 18S2, and is said to be the oldest fraternity with an academic standing In existence. The original chapter was or
ganized at the Orchard Lake (Michigan) Military Academy. As it was the oldest fraternity its members chose the oldest word in the Greek language. This was found to be
Koppa. which became obsolete in the 12th century. The fraternity was originally a high-ehool and academy body.. Two years ago it withdrew from the schools and now has the
same standing as other secret and fraternal organizations. It numbers among its members Frederick Warde, the tragedian; Clarence H. Mackey, son of the bonanza king, and other
men of prominence. -
RITTER AGAIN SUED
Divorcee Declares She Is Vic
tim of Fraud.
ASKS TITLE TO PROPERTY
Woman Says Former Husband Gave
Her Defective Deed and Then
Turned Over Realty to Son
Who Resold It.
Twice divorced and frequently ar
rested in former years for drunken
ness, G. Frederick . Rliter is again in
the limelight of the courts. His di
vorced wife. Mathilda D. Drake Ritter,
who was also divorced from Drake
before she married Ritter, has brought
suit against Ritter in the Circuit Court
alleging that fraud has been practiced
upon her. Edward 1 Ritter, Ritter's
son by a former marriage; R. G. Busse,
Mrs. D. Bardowlck and D. Bardowlck
are made parties to the suit. ,
. Mrs. Drake says that on December
1. 1906. Ritter sold her the northwest
corner of lot 1, block '31. Albina, be
tween Page street and Vancouver ave
nue, and also another lot on which
Ritter had erected a one-and-a-half-story
house. She says that her former
husband purposely made out a defec
tive deed to her, and proceeded on
April 1, 1908, two weeks after his last
divorce, to give his son a quit-claim
deed. This was followed on May 20,
says Mrs. Ritter, with a warranty deed
to the son. - The son then deeded the
land to Busse, and Busse deeded it on
June 11 to Mrs. Bardowlck.
Now Mrs. Drake wants all these
deeds nullified by order of the court,
and asks that her deed, by reason of
priority, be corrected and declared
valid. She also prays for a temporary
order restraining the defendants In the
suit from further transferring the
property, and that the order be made
perpetual upon final hearing.
Mrs. Ritter obtained her divorce
from Ritter in Judge O'Day's depart
ment of the Circuit Court May 18 last.
Last year Ritter tried to obtain a di
vorce In Judge Frazer's department,
but was unsuccessful.
The Ritters were married December
2, 1906. Thelr's was one long round
of bickering and contenaion. Mrs. Rit
ter said her husband used to buy a
bottle of cheap wine and a few dough
nuts for his dinner and eat them, some
times on the front porch, and some
times In the kitchen, refusing to give
her a morsel. She also said he told
her he did not intend to draw any
money from the bank for her support,
as she was welt able to work and sup
port them both. She said further that
he once refused to pay 40 cents for
medicine while she was sick, and she
was compelled to borrow the amount
from a neighbor.
Ritter, who Is 68 years old, alleged,
on the other hand, that his wife com
pelled him to sleep on the floor in
front of their .room, when they lived
in a flat at 403 First street. During
the trial before Judge Frazer he made
himself ludicrous by his conduct In the
courtroom. i
"DOCTOR" FAILS TO SUPPORT
Allegation Made by Wife of Travel
ing Medicine Vendor.
That his mother-in-law, father-in-law
and his wife have conspired together to
defraud him of his property, is the alle
gation made in the Circuit Court yes
terday by "Dr." D. A. Sanburn. San
burn advertises himself as a doctor. He
testified yesterday that his "trips" were
very frequent, and that he spent only
four or five days in a place, often mak
ing a haul of several hundred dollars.
He says he sells blood medicine made
from roots and herbs, having learned the
mysterious art of brewing from "smart
doctors. "-
It was very evident that Mrs. Mary
Sanburn. the modest woman whom San
burn calls wife, does not have much
faith in her husband's so-called herb
medicine, for she said he did not furnish
means enough for her support. She tes
tified that she begged him to settle down
PI DELTA KOPPA FRATERNITY CONCLUDES ITS ANNUAL
on their farm of 11 acres on the Columbia
boulevard, but that he refused. Her
testimony was to the effect that he had
a great dislike for work. The case went
to trial before Judge Bronaugh, in the
Circuit Court, yesterday. Judge Robert
G. Morrow, who will sit as Judge In the
Circuit Court beginning July 20. is repre
senting the woman. His queries to San
burn. when the "doctor" was on the
stand, even went into the question of the
man's marriage. Sanburn had forgotten
the date- of the wedding, and not being
able to read or write, had not set it
down. He was sure, however, that he
was going to be married on his birthday,
but that something intervened to pre
vent. He said he was married once be
fore and divorced, and - that the present
marriage occurred one day before the
six months' limit was up.
Sanburn 's complaint asserts that on
December 26, 1902, he purchased from the
University Land Company lots 34. 35,
36 and 37. block 146. University Park,
besides the 11 acres, agreeing to pay for
the latter $2200. Sanburn said that he
thought the sun rose and set In his wife
so he conveyed the title to the land to
her and her parents, Richard M. and
Orissa Cannon. Each of the -four, he
said, was to have a fourth interest in
the land. He asserted that he made a
first payment of $1200, this being a por
tion of $1483, obtained from the O. R. 4
N. Company for a right-of-way across the
land.
It is Sanburn's contention that his wife
and her relatives now claim to own the
property, to his exclusion. He wants to
be declared the owner, subject only to
his wife's dower Interest and life es
tate of one-fourth. The case Is to be
continued at 9:30 o'clock this morning. -
WANTS TO HAVE OWN CHILD
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Againsl
Boys and Girls' Aid Society.
W. T. Gardner, superintendent of the
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, will be com
pelled to bring 17-year-old Ethel McMa
hon into court at 10 o'clock this morning
and show cause why he should not de
liver her to her mother. Mrs. Luella Mc
Mahon Dickenson. A writ of habeas cor'
pus against Gardner was issued yester-
day by Judge O'Day.
Mrs. Dickenson, who married William
Dickenson, a railroad engineer, last No
vember, was divorced from John McMa
hon ten years ago. As she was not, at
that time, able to give the child a proper
home, she signed away her right to her
daughter in favor of the Boys' and Girls'
Aid Society, with the understanding tha,t
the child was to be adopted by a family
named Collinger. The child was subse
quently returned to. the Aid Society and
placed in another family. -
The mother endeavored to learn the
whereabouts of her daughter, but says
that the officials of the society refused to
give her any information. After much
pleading on her part, she says, they con
sented to let her see her child at the so
ciety, with the understanding that she
was not to ask the child any personal
questions, not even where she lives.
Mrs. Dickenson asserts that she found
her daughter scantily clothed, looking as
though she had been 111 treated, and
unable to write a legible hand. Mrs.
Dickenson says that she now has a good
home and wants to take the child, unless
she is bein properly cared for.
THREE WIVES GET DECREES
Court- Believes Mrs. William E.
Smith Rather Than Husband.
Judge O'Day granted three divorces In
the Circuit Court yesterday morning. Al
though accused by her husband of being
unduly Intimate with a Methodist min
ister, nd with Dr. J. A. Pettit. the fam
ily physician, Lenora Smith obtained a
divorce from William E. Smith. She said
there was no ground for his charges. She
also made the statement that he threat
ened to cut her throat last April and de
serted her the following day, April 25.
Smith, 'who is a carpenter, will be
obliged to pay his wife $50 a month ali
mony. He is said to earn $125 a month.
He married Mrs. Smith February 11. five
months ago today, and lived with her but
two months.
That her husband, M. E. Scott, drank
whenever he had money enough to pur
chase whisky, and remained drunk as
long as his money lasted, was the state
ment of Elizabeth Scott In the divorce
court yesterday. She also said that he
would not support her. She married him
in October, 1892, and obtained a divorce.
Clara Henderson said her husband, A.
W. Henderson, wrote her he would pay
her $200 if she would get a Mivorce and
never bother him any more. She said he
deserted her in November, 1906, and had
not supported her since. - Mrs. Henderson
obtained her divorce. She married Hen
derson May 6. 1903.

her. He also says that she took the fur
niture. The desertion occurred in May,
1907.
EARTH BELONGS TO OWNERS
City Loses In Suit Involving Dirt
Taken From Grade.
That the earth removed from streets in
grading belongs to the abutting property
owners, not to the contractors, was the
decision of Judge O'Day, In the Circuit
Court yesterday morning. He decided,
however, that the city might, in making
its contract for street improvement, pro
vide that the dirt be used in filling near
by streets.
The case on trial was that of the John
P. Sharkey Company against the City of
Portland and Scott & McDougall. The
company asked that the city and contrac
tors be restrained from carrying: away
the dirt, which was being taken from
Franklin street between Bast Twenty
ninth and East Thirty-first streets, in
Waverleigh Heights. The Sharkey Com
pany wanted the earth dumped on lots
17 and 18. By order of the court yester
day the city and contractors' are re
strained from converting the dirt to their
own use., and will be compelled to dump
11 on Sharkey's premises. The court held
that as the title to property does not pass
to the City of Portland when streets are
dedicated, abutting property-owners hold
an equitable Interest in the earth. In
other words, the property-owners on each
side of the street own the dirt to the
middle of the street, except in case the
city wishes to use it in street improve
ment. '
Sues for Cash Register.
Another salt has been brought against
Constable Lou Wagner In the Circuit
Court. This time it is to secure posses
sion of a cash register, which is said to
have wrongfully been taken from one
Warde, who was holding it for B. W.
Davis. Davis has filed the suit, and asks
$200 damages in case the cash register
cannot be returned. He also asks $50
special damages because it has been out
of his possession since June 25.

Petition for Improvement of
, Hawthorne Avenue.
WORK WILL COST $180,000
Petition Is Filed for Largest Single-
Hard-Snrface Project Ever
Brought Before Council Fa
vorable Action Is Probable.
A petition for .asphalt pavement on
Hawthorne avenue, from East Third to
East Fifty-fourth Btreets, aggregating a
cost of approximately $180,000, was filed
with City Auditor Barbur yesterday. It
Is signed by more than . one-half of the
property-owners along the thoroughfare,
which Insures its successful official Jour
ney through the City Council, it is said,
and that It will be ordered there seema
no doubt. This is . the largest single
hard-surface improvement project yet out
under way In Portland.
There are really two petitions for the
entire job. The first is for the paving
of Hawthorne avenue from East Third
to East Forty-first street, now known
as Aurora avenue. The second extends
from Aurora to East Fifty-fourth. Thus,
if the contract is let, this thoroughfare
will become the greatest outlet for traf
fic running east and west on the East
SWe.
Hawthorne avenue begins at the east
end of the Madison-street bridge, and
extends through to Mount Tabor. It is
one of the longest and most heavily
traversed of the city's streets. The
Mount Tabor and Mount Scott branches
of the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company operate a line on it, and the
corporation will, therefore, share in the
expense of this latest and greatest piece
of municipal improvement.
The avenue runs through some' of the
most beautiful residence sections of the
city, many large and handsome homes
being located along its length. If the
asphalt pavement Is ordered, it will
make an excellent automobile drive.
The petition, which is addressed to the
Council, will be introduced before that
body at the next regular session, and
will then be referred to the committee
on ' streets for consideration. However,
as the number of property-owners re
quired by the charter is already on the

mittee's report will be favorable and that
the Council will vote to order the Im
