LA. F. SWENSSON IS SCORED JBrokrr Is I-lartd In Affidavit to Hare Misappropriated Funds From SaJo of Ixrta for Otct kxik Land Company. A. F. Swensson. a young real estate, troker who brought proceedings several days ago ajralnst the Overlook Land Com pany charging that a conspiracy to de fraud htm existed among the directors, ts In turn accused of dishonest prac tices and of milking the concern, when the case was presented In the State Cir cuit Court, yesterday afternoon. Although the officers of the corpora tion. E. Henry AVemme. George V.". Joseph and A. J5. iloores. were repre sented In court in response to appear and how cause why a receiver should rot appointed. Swensson was the one to ask a continuance. He- aaid ho wanted time in which to reply to affidavits pre sented before the court by the corpora tion's officers. Further hearing In the case, was accordingly act for Friday after noon at 2 o'clock. In a voluminous affidavit, Mr. 'Wemme, r.ead of the Overlook Land Company, laid tiare secrets of the corporation, explain ing Its organization, purposes and Swens on's connection with the concern. He directly accuses Fwcnsson of having w'.th l:eld and misappropriated corporation money and of having really caused the extensive improvement work which has been undertaken at Overlook, the- addition that Is being boosted by the company. The. affidavit set up that in IHaS tiustaf Fwensson. since, deceased, proposed the taking over of a tract now known as Overlook. II asked Wemme to put up $ 0 0) saying he would complete the pur chase price, of $10V"X from other sources. The remainder of the sum not being ra'Jsed Wenime says he put up another pavment of K..S19 In order to protect his original JIC.'XO which had been advanced on the dral to bind the bargain. Then a corporation was formed with a capitaliza tion of j;i3.0w) at which point Mr. Moo res stepped In and got a block of the stock. Mr. Wemme was to receive $125.X for the Und of which JLS.OO was to be cash pay ment. M in shars of stock, and the res' In a note for payable In two years with interest at C per cent per an num. Sixteen shares were given of the Wenime stock to Gustaf Swensson as pro motion stock, this pas-slng Into the hands of Ms son. A. F. Swensson, upon Gustaf BuenMOn's death. lt vs the. Swensson who Insisted upon an extensive courso of improvement work, the affidavit aays. It being their conten tion that Overlook could not compete with the other land boosting companies unless a. showing was made. After the death of the elder Swensson. Mr. Wemme says he began to suspect that the money re ceived for the sale of lots In Overlook was not being turned In. He caused fJwenseon's books to be checked over and discovered a shortage, of fcl31.Si. lie as serts. So. as soon as the wenseon con tract for the. sals of lots had expired he proceeded, with the other directors to re fuse a renewal of contract, deeming such a thing unsafe. After that, the affidavit goes on to say, Swensson made numerous threats of his Intention of suing the com pany and cajsing embarassment. This affidavit is accompanied by sup porting affidavits from Mr. Moores. Oeorge TV. Joseph and Eva Joseph. An answer to Swensson's complaint asks the dismissal of the suit and gives assurance, that far from being near the shoals of bankruptcy, the Overlook Land Company Is on the highroad of prosperity. FAILS TO SHAKE IX ESTATE Court Decides Tacoma "Woman Who Contend "Will "Was 309taken. Claims of Mrs. Christina Egan, of Tacoma. to the $10,000 estate of Charles Petterson. were dissolved yes terday when County Judge Webster dismissed her action for an Interest In the estate- The court said he was sat isfied the woman had made a mistake. It Is not believed the woman has been acting the part' of an adventuress In the matter, however. Her conduct would Indicate that she really believed Petterson to have been her husband and the father of her son. Carl Oscar Petterson. whom she has been putting forth as the rightful heir of the estate. It seems she was deserted ten years ago by a man named Charlrs Petter son. then her husband. On the death of tho Portland Petterson. several months ago. she read the death notice, made inquiry and later Identified pho tographs of the dead man. saying he was the man who deserted her and that she could not be mistaken. Her claims were contested by O. W. Nel son, executor of the estate, who in sisted that Petterson's only relatives live In Sweden. Patterson bequeathed everything to his Swedish relatives in a will.

NEW BATING LUTE Class A A Will Not Help Mc Credie This Year. DISCUSS LEAGUE'S FUTURE Task of Slfrnlns Tp Players for Portland's Two Teams Is Re quiring Much Attention. Gossip of Diamond. "So we're In class AA now." mused Walter McCredle. yesterday, when In formed that the National Commission had advanced the classification of the three principal minor leagues in the country. "Well, I only 'wish it had oc curred sooner, for there are several players in the Southern and Western Leagues that I would like very much to have in my Coast League club this season. Hswever, I'll get a shot at 'em next year and we shall try to get along as best we can this year." With the above remarks, McCredle turned to his desk and resumed writing letters to the many bail tossers he will have to line up In the near future, while Pearl Casey, Ote Johnson and President Lucas became Involved In a discussion of the merits of certain players and rules. Casey tried hard to nail the chief execu tive of the Northwestern League for an opinion of Mike Lynch's Seattle team, but the wlley Lucas refused to commit himself. However, he Quietly Informed Casey Hint he will do well to mend all the holes In his fences and to protect himself at every point likely to prove vulnerable. After the discussion had lasted several minutes, McCredle turned around and queried: "By the way, Lucas, four clubs won't do in a double A class league, don't you think we ought to have eight clubs?" "I most certainly do, and I believe the Pacific Coast States are capable of sup porting such a league which could be made to equal tne major leagues in the class bf baseball furnished." Continuing on the subject, Lucas said: "This subject is one that will have to be thoroughly digested and figured out to a fine point, for there are many things standing in the way of such a move at present. Eventually, possibly in 1910, but I look for It later, there will be an all Pacific Coast League which will some day form a triumvirate with the major leagues. It Is bound to come, for the coast cities are growing faster then the cities of the East, and as they grow they will demand higher class baseball. By this I do not mean such a great dif ference in style of play, for a class D city enjoys its baseball just as much as does a major league town, and it often happens that there are good teams In the lower classes. If the problem of railway transportation along the Pacific Coast is ever solved satisfactorily, such a league will thrive. "However," continued Mr. Lucas, "the Northwestern League will show Portland some classy baseball during the coming season, and I am pleased to see McCredie and Casey gathering such a good team for the new league." Ote Johnson yesterday recommended a pitcher to McCredie. and the manager Immediately announced that he would endeavor to secure his services. The new man is Earl Zook, of Muncle, Ind., who was formerly with Vicksburg, in the Cot ton States League. While playing iu that league, Zook contracted malarial fever and on that account asked for his release and got It. He is said to be free to sign now, and Johnson recommended him so strongly to McCredie that the young fel low will be signed for the Pacific Coast League club, providing his terms are reasonable. According to a Spokane paper, the Spokane Traction Company has agreed to erect a reinforced concrete grandstand and new bleachers for the Spokane base ball park, and on the strength of this the Spokane fans are claiming superior ity over the other Northwestern cities in the matter of accommodations. Port land might profit by this an- get together for the benefit of the Portland fans. Manager Rowland, the new helmsman of the Aberdeen ciud. Is said to have been given permission to purchase and bring five new players to the Grays Harbor team next season. Rowland is Bald to be a clever manager and if he Is as good as he Is rated, Aberdeen may prove a dark horse In the coming race. President Lucas expects to be installed In his new offices, in the Beck building. Seventh and Oak streets, today after which he will be at home to his many friends and any of the fans who desire to call. In Northern Australia there Is one white man per 700 square miles.

St. Louis Man Toughest Looking Proposition "Yet Has Beaten Some of the Best. Jack Peterson, of St Txjuls, who wrestles O'Connell tonight, reached Port land yesterday morning. Peterson looks every inch the wrestler he la cracked up to be. He Is more of a swarthy complexion than the blond Swede that was expected and his general ap pearance, including closely cropped hair make him about as tough a looking prop osition as has 3truck the burg in six months. He worked out at the club last right and told some of those who saw him that he was going to throw O'Con nell twice in 30 minutes. Peterson has been going after the best ones In the Middle West and none of the top-notch heavyweights have been able to beat him In handicap matches. Monno goff, the Terrible Turk, only threw him once in 45 minutes, although he was matched for two falls in an hour. His last match before coming West was with Lundeen, the Swedish heavyweight cham pion. Lundeen was to throw him once In 15 minutes and failed. He secured his fall on Dwyer at Springfield a week ago last Wednesday in 16 minutes. It was a mixed match and Dwyer won the other two falls, Cornish style. The preliminary between Parker and Abernathy will start at 8:30 o'clock and is a handicap in which Parker is to throw Abernathy twice In 30 minutes. He was very confident of winning the side bet until a lot of money was offered yester day to back the supposed "ringer" and now he wishes it was for three times in an hour. He Is from 15 to 20 pounds the heavier and will make up in welht what he may lack in speed. Joe Acton will referee the matches. The steamheatlng plant -oj the Exposi tion Rink was overhauled completely yes terday and will be kept booming from 10 o'clock today until the match is over to night. Up to yesterday the wrestling fans of the city were worried about one thing as much as the other and as both have made good and the weather man promises to do his share a record crowd is expected at the match tonight. Car penters have been busy a couple of days elevating the benches that were flat on the floor at the last match. FIXAIj terms of agreement Privileges Granted Class A A Leagues by National Commission.
