malicious destruction of property. Mr.
Blackman dclares that the steamer was
nnorateri within the harbor limits at a
rvori rrMi?r than eight miles an hour.
and that the swells made by the vessel
when under increased speed caused two
loir rafts to be set adrift from their moor
ings near the Eastern Ik western .wins.
The loirs escaped late Thursday night,
and for several hours were a great men-
-e n navigation. Several launches as-
listed in the recovery of the timber and
no daman was done to any of the ves

Speed limits within the harbor of Port

txeeed eight miles an hour. Between
Swan Island and the tanks of the Asso

AWAIT ORDERS FOR OREGON
Dredge Ready to Be Towed to Coos,
but Authority Delayed.
Major J. F. Mclndoe. United States En
gineers, in chance of the district of Ore
gon and the Columbia River, has not been
advised by the Department when he will
be able to dispatch the new dredge, Ore
gon, to Coos Bay. It was generally sup
posed that It would be towed to Coos Bay
y the steamship Breakwater on the trip
9f September 2. but the craft had not
been completed by that time.
Major Mclndoe christened the vessel
Oregon, and she has been measured and
registered and her documents have been
lied. The final trial will be made this
ifternoon and as soon as orders are re
teived from Washington she will be sent
tomh.
The citizens of Coos County have col
lected a fund for the operation of the
sraft and the money has been placed to
3ie credit of Major Mclndoe. Under the
army rules, however, he has no power to
lisburse the funds without the sanction
tf the head of the Engineers' Department,
rhe proper papers have been sent for
rard and ample time has passed for the
receipt of an answer. One is expected
laily and It Is probable that the Oregon

jot go during the present month the
Winter gales will hold her up until next
summer.

Took 950.
Arrested last night by Constable
Wagner and Deputy Constable Kiernan,
Charles May. for several years weii-
known along the river front as
steamboat parser, and who in the past
has gained some reputation as tfie
champion roller skater of Oregon, was
locked up In the County Jail in aeiaun
of $500 balL He is charged with lar
ceny bv Mrs. Edith May, his divorced
wife, who alleges that on Thursday,
May entered her house, which Is In
one of the suburbs on the Mount Scott
line and broke Into a trunk, from
which he stole 150 In money. Since
the separation of the couple May, it la
said, has been trying to gain posses
slon of their two small children.
The authorities explain May's visit
to his former wife's house on th
ground that he was looking for some
letters which he alleged might help
him In his contention for the charge
of tbe two children. The missing $50
had been hidden In the trunk, which
was found to have been ransacked.
Mrs. May alleges that the former hus
band, not finding any Incriminating
letters but discovering the secret sav
ngs, took the money to spite her. May
is noncommittal regarding the charge,
May's arrest was the result of a co-
Incidence. The warrant had been Is
sued by Justice Olson during the after
noon and placed In the officers' hands
for service. They had searched every
where for him and had been told by
some of his Intimates that he had
left town. Search for him had been
abandoned for the day and the two
officers were passing the police sta
tion, when one of them stopped at the
door and announced his Intention of
getting a drink of vater within. They
passed Inside and the first person they
saw was May, who had called to unfold
a tale of hi- wife's alleged wrong
doings to t'.ie police with a view to
having her placed under arrest. He

he was faced by the officers, who pro
duced their warrant and took him into

Troutdale Justice Resigns.
J. S. Hudson, Justice of the Peace,
of Multnomah District, at Troutdale,
has resigned. The County Commission
ers signed their acceptance yesterday.
Hudson gives as a reason for his res
ignation that he has sold his business
and Is going East. Greeham people
are endeavoring to secure the office,
and a Gresham attorney has written
to the Commissioners suggesting D. S.
Johnson, a former incumbent, for the

rharimta Wnnver will not be com
pelled hereafter to live with a man
who she save, has threatened to slash
her throat from ear to ear with
hnntino. knife, and to bathe his hands in
her warm blood, for Judge Gantenbeln,
In the State Circuit Court, granted her
a divorce yesterday morning. She said
that her huRband, E. J. Hoover, had
threatened to kill her in this manner
after she had forgiven him for un
numbered cruelties, and was about to
withdraw the divorce suit which had
been begun. She said that he bought
he knife in California, remarking
when he brought it home that he in
tended to "fix her" As that was sev
eral years ago Mrs. Hoover had almost
forgotten about the knife, until a short
time ago. when her husband told what
dells-ht he would take In Killing ner,
and said he had the "thing that would
do It." He then went to a satchel and
found the knife, which his wife after
ward discovered In the bureau drawer.
Between sobs, and with the tears
streaming down her face, Mrs. Hoover
told vesterday morning m me court
room of her husband's cruel acts. They
were staying at a Portlands lodging
house, and she was unable to go to her
meals because of the bruises which her
husband had . inflicted. Mrs. Hoover
had sold a piece of Vancouver property
before last year's panic and had de
posited the $2000 which she received
in a Vancouver bank. Before the
flurry her husband had her draw $1000
of it, and when the bank made the
rule that only $25 would be paid each
day to one person, he compelled her
to go every day and draw the limit.
She put a part of the money out at In
terest In Indiana.
Strikes Wife With Teajwt.
One day while Mrs. Hoover was lying
111 In her apartments, and had had her
meal brougnt to her on a tray, her
husband entered and began to berate
her for sending the money to Indiana.
In an angry mood he grabbed up the
silver teapot which stood on the tray
and threw It at his wife with such
force that the teapot was dented, and
Mrs. Hoover's arm. which received the
blow, soon had a lump the size of an
egg. The woman said her husband had
been drinking whisky that week, and
that after the teapot incident he locked
her in the room. As she had a key of
her own, she escaped.
But Hoover's cruelty has not been
confined to Portland, according to Mrs.
Hoover. While they were at a hotel In
Los Angeles he cursed and kicked her
one day Just before dinner time. When
they went to dinner he was a little bet
ter. Mrs. Hoover said, because he had to
be. but when they afterward went out
for a walk he again began to abuse her.
and when she threatened to call a po
liceman who stood near by, he said she
could call as many as she liked, and he
would clean out the "whole bunch."
While they were living at a hotel In
Vancouver. Wash., they were ordered
out because of his conduct, said the
wife.
Mrs. Hoover said her husband was a
fine-looking young mining man, who
had claims in Goldfield, Nev. She was
a well-to-do widow when they were
married, her maiden name being Simer
and her first husband's name Thurman.
Two or three days before the wedding
she gave Hoover $2650, she said, be
cause he had nothing.
The court granted the decree sought.
allowing her to resume her former name.

she said. Tho only support he gave
hia three children was to send them

HUGHES IS SUED FOR MOSEY
Missing; Treasurer of Labor Union
Charged With Appropriating $393.
Although the police have failed to
locate Nelson Hughes, treasurer of Lo
cal Union No. 50, of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, the union
has brought suit against him In the
State Circuit Court for the recovery of
the $393.65 which he Is alleged to have
taken with him when he left. The
complaint alleges that the money was
given him as the agent of the union.
and that he has refused to return it.
A warrant charging Hughes with
embezzling $73.75 hangs over his head
in the Municipal Court. Although some
held to the belief for a time that
Hughes had drowned himself in the
Willamette River south of the city, it
is now thought that he left his wife
and eloped with a pretty young stenog
rapher.
Deputy Sheriff Kelly served the com
plaint' yesterday afternoon on Mrs.
Hughes. A garnishment was also made
upon Hughes' funds in a local bank.
No return on this action has been
made.

DEMURRER IS OVERRULED
Suit Brought Against Packing Com

The suit of J. M. Parke and others
against the Zimmerman Packing Com
pany and Schwarzc-hild & Sulzberger will
go to trial in the State Circuit Crftrrt. for
Presiding Judge Gantenbeln overruled
esterdav morning the demurrer ot tne
packing companies. They contended that
the court has no Jurisdiction in the ques
tion raised In the complaint, that the foul
odors arising from the plant in South
Portland, within the city limits, make It
nuisance. Parke and others want an
order issued restraining the companies
from running the plant within the city.
The suit of the J. K. Armsby company
against the Grays Harbor Commercial
Company will also come to trial on Its
merits, as Judge Gantenbein overruled
the defendant's demurrer. Plaintiff de
