ARE GIVEN DEED
Hexter & Strause, Butchers:
Acquire Property Said to
Be. Worth $100,000.
COURT DECREE FULFILLED
Firm Obtained Option on Property
for $50,000 in 1905 Owner
Then Refused to Sell and
Butchers Brought Suit.
Louis Hexter and Lehman Strause,
of the Arm of Hexter & Strause. ac
Quired the property on the southwest
corner of Park and Morrison streets
yesterday for $SOx on an option Riven
three years ago. and recently confirmed
bv the courts after considerable lit 1
nation. The former owner is Sarah
A. Merrill. and the property Is
said to be worth now about
$100. 00ft. The sale was made as the
result of a suit brought In the Circuit
Court over two years ago, and carried
to the Supreme Court. A decision in
. the case was rendered by the latter re
cently.
The order of the court provided that
upon the payment to the Clerk of the
Circuit Court of the $50,000. the deed
should be made out in favor of the
firm, which conducted a butcher shop
on the corner over two years ago.
June 8. 1905. the firm took an option
on the property for 60 days, the con
sideration to be $50,000. By the Fame
agreement they were to pay Mrs. Mer
rill $125 a month rent. Complaint had
been made by the neighbors, as well as
the Merrills', who resided in the build
ing, of foul odors arising from the shop
and as a result the butchers agreed to
improve the basement and drainage
system from the building; and by keep
ing only fresh meat to eliminate all
odors.
Within the 60 days Hexter & Strause
demanded their deed, offering the
$50,000. The deed was refused and
they therefore deposited the money
with a local bank. A year later, on
July 25. 1906. Mrs. Merrill filed a com
plaint In the Circuit Court asking that
the contract made In 1905 be set aside,
and alleging that the marketmen had
failed to make the improvements and
had practiced fraud upon her. This
was later disproven by the testimony.
Had the contract been set aside by the
Court the butchers wouid have been
ousted from the premises.
In reply to Mrs. Merrill's suit they
brought a counter suit alleging that
Mrs. Merrill refused to give them their
deed according to agreement because
of Increasing real estate values, the
contract having been made during the
exposition.
judge Fraser decided that the con
tract was binding and Mrs. Merrill ap
pealed the case. She was represented
as counsel by Governor Chamberlain,
while Hester & Strause were repre
sented by Senator Joseph Simon.
Mrs. Merrill was at first represented
by Attorney M. B. Keefer. When he
discovered yesterday that the deal was
about to be closed, he filed In the Cir
cuit Court an attorney's lien for $500.
for attorneys' fees. Shortly afterward
he had a long conference with Mrs.
Merrill's husband, however, and with
drew the lien. Deputy County Clerk
Lounsbury received the $50,000 and
turned it over to Mrs. Merrill's attor
ney, giving Hexter & Strause the deed.

AMBLER RIGHT AFTER ALL
Mrs.
Cleveland Not Vet Accorded
Postal Frank.
MOUNT AXGEL, Or.. Aug. 13. (To
the Editor.) The follownig appeared
In The Morning uregonian on Satur
day, August 8: ,
I should like, to ask Postmaster Amblfr
what he would do If an unstamped Irttff
addressed to Mrs. Orover Cleveland at
Princeton, N. J., should be posted In his
office V Inaulred W. R. Hlnman. Assistant
Superintendent Division of Salaries and
Allowances or tne hosimster-uenerar oi
nce. I should address a letter to Mrs. Cleve
land and Inform her such a letter had been
deposited In my office and that I would
forward the same on receipt or a 2-cent
tamp. responded tne rural postmaster.
Well, that merely serves to Illustrate
how little the average Postmaster knows of
the technicalities of his work." replied Mr.
Hinman, "for there Is a provision in the
department rules and regulations which pro
vides that postage is net required on let
ters addressed to the wife of a' deceased
President."
This incident occurred yesterday In
connection with the annual convention
of the Presidential Postmasters' Asso
ciation In the Portland Commercial
Club rooms. The article continues:
'After being trapped himself by Mr.
Hlnman, the Mount Angel Postmaster
was game, etc.
It was hoped and even expected,
n Justice to Mr. Ambler, "the average
Postmaster," and to the public In gen
eral, that The Oregonian reporter
would present the facts as they devel
oped. However, aa this was purposely
or otherwise neglected, the truth is
hereby set forth.
At the beginning of the afternoon
session of the convention Saturday,
August 8, Mr. Hlnman addressed the
convention as follows: "I wish to state
that Postmaster Ambler, of Mount An
gel, Is correct In his answer yesterday
to my question concerning the letter
without postage addressed to Mrs.
Grover Cleveland."
Now, this public acknowledgment of
his own error on the part of the As
sistant Superintendent of Salaries and
Allowances is in marked contrast with
his utterance on the day previous, that
Mr. Ambler's answer merely serves to
Illustrate how little the average Post
master knows of the technicalities of
his work."
Mr. Hlnman's excuse foij his apparent
ack of knowledge on technical points
of postal law Is that he intended to
use the name of Mrs. McKInley Instead
of Mrs. Cleveland. The public will
please accept the gentleman's excuse.
By special acts of Congress the
wives of deceased Presidents have been
granted special privilege in mall mat
ters. Section 610. P. X. and R.. of 1902.
and Section1 510, Supplement of the P.
L. and R-. read as follows:
Section 610. P. L R. All mall matter
addressed to Julia D. Grant, widow of the
ate Ulysses S. Grant, and Lucretla R. Gar
field, widow of the late President James It.
Garfield, or sent by them under their re
spective written autograph signature wfll.
n pursuance of trie several acts of congress.
be conveyed free of postage during their
respective natural lives.
Section 210. par. 2. Bup. to the P. L. &
All mall matter sent by post by Ida S.
McKInley, widow of the late William Mc
KInley. under her written autograph signa
ture, will be conveyed free of postage during
her natural life.
From the above it Is plain that Mrs.
McKinley's franking privilege was re
stricted to mall matter dispatched and
in no way did it apply to mail matter
received by her.
It may be well presumed that the
same token of respect will be conferred
upon Mrs. Grover Cleveland by a spe
cial act of the next Congress, but until
that time her mall matter must be
treated-ln the usual way.
The Postmaster at Mount Angel is
etlll of the opinion that it is far better
to make a close study of the postal
laws and other instructions issued from
the Postofflce Department than to de
pend upon verbal and too often pre
sumptuous knowledge of others.

BUILD BRICK BLOCK
Six-Story Warehouse for
Blake, McFall & Co.
PAY $65,000 FOR SITE
Wholesale Paper-Dealers Acquire
-Fourth-Street Frontage of "Dex
ter"
Be
Property,
Improved
Which Will
at Once.
Blake, McFall & Co. yesterday conclud
ed a deal for the Fourth-street frontage
of the Dexter property. This piece is
125 feet on Fourth street, 105 on the sou
side of Ankeny and 101 along the line of
the Marshall-Wells Company building.
The sale was effected through the
agency of W. B. Streeter and the figure
at which the deal was closed was a little
over $65,000. This eale was referred to In
The Oregonian a few days ago as having
been made for the Mercantile Investment
Company, who owned the half black, but
at that time the purchaser's name was
withheld, upon request, as future plans
had not then been determined on.
Blake. McFall & Co. announce their In
tention to erect on the site a six or seven
story building to be occupied by the firm
as a paper warehouse and salesroom
offices, etc.
With the completion of the building of
the Pacific Paper Company and the one
now announced, the locality will become
a center of that character of wholesale
and retail trade, for already within a few
blocks are located stationery stores and
commercial printing offices, with others
to be located before the close of tile year.
The new building will probably cost
from $60,000 to $70,000. Judging from the
cost of similar buildings of recent con
etruction. Until the architects have re
ported on plans and specifications, how
ever, a more accurate estimate cannot be
made.
Mall & Von Borstel yesterday reported
the sale of the southwest corner of East
Twenty-fourth street and Sandy boule
vard for L. Olsen to P. J. Melis. It is said
to be the purchaser's intention to build
on the site at once. The purchase prlca
was not reported.
YEOX BUYS QUARTER-BLOCK
Dr. Andrew C. Smith Sells Corner
for $65,000.
John B. Teon announced yesterday
the purchase from Dr. Andrew C. Smith
of the southeast corner of Sixth and
Everett streets, the consideration be
ing $65,000. This figure is about on a
par with recent purchases in that
vicinity. A lot at the -corner of Sixth
and Hoyt was sold last week to J. F.
Moore, of Fort Worth, Texas, for
$30,000, and another on Sixth near Irv
ing sold by' E. H. James for the same
consideration. Dr. Smith bought on
Seventh, between Gllsan and Hoyt,
from Monastes & Burke, for $65,000.
It is announced by these purchasers
that the sites are to be built upon,
with the exception of the property
bought by Mr. Yeon. In that case, the
Intentions of the buyer could not be
learned last night.
FIND NO TRACE OF STEVENS
OFFICIAL- SEEKS IX VAIX FOR
RICH BRIDEGROOM.
Report That He Is Hiding in His
Apartments ""Vigorously Denied
at Madison-Park.
Vigorous denial Is made at the Madison-Park
apartment-house, Park and
Madison streets, that T. M. Stevens,
whose sensational matrimonial entan
glements are causing him many trou
bles, is occupying his apartments.
Equally vigorous denials were made to
officials by the proprietor of the house.
Stevens is said to be spending his
honeymoon out of the city, but persist
ent rumors have been to the effect that
he has simply been in hiding or seclu
sion at his apartments. This, however.
Is denied by the proprietor of the place,
though there are reasons to believe
that Stevens' honeymoon has not ex
tended beyond the city limits.
"The clever young man who tried to
get funny in an afternoon paper is not
as wise as he thinks he is," said the
proprietor. "Mr. Stevens is not at the
Madison-Park, and has not been here
for several days."
So insistent were certain officials In
locating Stevens and so dubious were
they of his departure from the apartment-house,
that the proprietor took
oath as to his absence from his estab
lishment. So Mr. Stevens' honeymoon
is free from annoyance and worry.
However, W.' H. Stevens said yester
day that the bride and groom would
likely return at any hour. He ex
pected them last night, and not later
than today. Then,t he said, Mr. Stevens
would likely explain the dilemma in
which he Is supposed to-be situated.
The District Attorney's office Is in
vestigating various details in connec
tion with the case. It is generally be
lieved that Mr. Stevens will appear in
the city today.
Mr. Stevens succeeded in foiling the
efforts of A. E. Clark, attorney for Mrs.
Louise Powell-Stevens, for when at
tachment papers were served on the
United "States National Bank to tie up
the money he had on deposit there, it
was found that there was only $204 to
his credit. However, Attorney Clark
predicts that sufficient property will
still be attached to cover the amount
sued for.
LAFE PENCE TO EXPLAIN
Signs Big Bond With Judgments
Pending Against Him.
Lafe Pence, late Congressman from
Colorado, and more lately promoter of
various and sundry local schemes for mak
ing millions, will have to explain Just
how he comes to have property or assets
worth $10,000 in Multnomah County. He
will have to make this explanation before
Justice of the Peace Bell and no matter
which way he explains it may be un
pleasant for him.
Pence, as will be recalled, signed a bond
of $10,000 several days ago for the release
from custody of Jackson Reld, the lad
who shot and killed George De Mars at
the Exposition Grounds. The bond waa
accepted and might never have been ques
tioned except for one thing. There are no
less than three Judgments standing
against the man from Colorado, but the
Sheriff has never been able to discover
any tangible property upon which to base
& levy. If he really has assets worth
$10,000, the authorities want to know it
In order that the Judgments may be satis.
fied. If he hasn't the money then the
bond is worthless and through swearing
to It, Pence may get into trouble.
The Constable is now looking for Pence
In order to escort the bondsman into the
Justice Court on supplemental proceed
ings. But the Pence stamping grounds do
not seem to be easily accessible, and thus
far, after 48 hours of search, Pence Is still
safe from the annoyance of having to ex.
plain.

Interpreters Fight Shy
at Sicilian's Case
Wild - Eyed Latin Hints Darkly
About Ilr.uk Hand, and Portland
Italians Decide to Keep Hands Off.
JOE PHILIPPE, a wild-eyed, long
haired fanatic from Sicily, escaped
conviction of a charge of larceny. In the
Municipal Court yesterday forenoon, be
cause none of his countrymen would
testify against him or act as Interpreter
In his case. Making it known that be
was a member of some mysterious black
hand aggregation, Philippe muttered
something In his native tongue to each
of five prospective interpreters brought
Into court and each of them hastily with
drew from the oase, saying they dldn t
wish to have anything to do with tne
matter. Among those who declined, to
interest themselves in the Sicilian's case
were John Cordano, a real estate man,
and Albert Ferrera, well known as a
lawyer.
While the prisoner s hints about belong
ing: to a black hand organization were not
taken seriously, yet It was the current be
lief among local Italians that he is a
fanatic and likely to bear deadly malice
against anyone who might take side
against him. The charge against Philippe
wag that of stealing $60 from a room in
the North End. Italian witnesses did not
appear to testify and could not be found.
Consequently the oase fell through.
Philippe was given five days In which to
enter upon some useful vocation, the al
ternative being 90 days of hard labor at
the rorkpile.

BOARD OF REGENTS MEETS
Twenty Acres, Surrounded by State
Property, Has Long Been Handi
cap to Institution and Will
Now Be Purchased.
For the purpose of arranging for the
purchase of 20 acres of land lying be
tween property already owned by the
institution, there was a meeting of the
Regents of the Oregon Agricultural
College in the office of Attorney W. W.
Cotton In this city yesterday morning.
Mr. Cotton was absent from the meet
ing, but a number of the other regents
attended. Among those in attendance
were Governor Chamberlain, J. H. Ack
erman. Superintendent of Public In
struction; A. H. Buxton, president of
the State Grange; and Regents W. P.
Keady. Portland; J. T. Apperson. Ore

D. Olwell, Central Point; B. F. Irvln,
Corvallis; E. E. Wilson. Corvallis,; W.
J. Kerr, president of the college facul
ty; and Regent Mrs. Clara B. Waldo,
Salem. '
Twenty acres of land lying along
side and between the property already
owned by the Agricultural College has
been a source of hindrance to the
progress of the institution. At the
time the site of the college was select
ed, title to this property could not be
secured and consequently the college
buildings and land surround it.
It was decided at the meeting to pur
chase the 20 acres, which will cost from
$1200 to $3000 an acre. The purchase
will be made at once and the property
will be a valuable acquisition to the
college.
The Agricultural College is in splen
did condition, according to J. is..
Weatherford, of the college, who ar
rived In Portland yesterday. There
will be between 1500 and 3000 students
in attendance next year, he predicts,
and in order td accommodate them it
will be necessary to ask for an addi
tion to the administration building.
"I noticed that the recent good roads
conference recommended that the col
lege establish a chair of road-building
In connection with our engineering de
partment," he said. "As a matter of
fact, we have had sucn a cnair ior a
