and the other T8.
James Amis, the elder or tne two, sas
that he lived In his little cottage near
Riverview Cemetery until two days ago.
when it caught fire and was Durnea to
the ground. He slept under a tree near
his destroyed home Thursday night, he
said. He asserted also that he had eaten
nothing for three days. tmltn saia ne
had been employed at various odd Jobs
at Riverview Cemetery.
He arose yesterday morning from tne
Dlace beneath the tree where he had
slept a,nd walked down to the cemetery,
where he hoped to find friends In the
Immediate neighborhood who would give
hira food and help him to reach the city.
He found no food and also found no one
to aid him in his Journey. So he started
out alone, with no car fare, and walked
to the City Jail. There he was given
food and turned over to the City Board
of Charities. At his arrival at the star
tlon he was almost frozen.
A. C. Smith. 78 years old, was found In
an extremely uesiuuie conoiiioii m a
room a 270!3 Front street. The old man
lived In a room poorly shelters from the
cold. Wind and snow blew through the
broken panes of glass. The only way he
could keep warm was by a Bmall oil
lamp. In tho room there was nothing to
eat except salt and a small bag of oat
meal. He had subsisted on this for three
days.
The old man stated that he had come
from The Dalles recently. It is believed
he Is mentally afflicted as a result of
his exposure and suffering. He was turned
over to the Board of Charities.
Frank B. Riley and His Committee
Overwhelmed With Offers, and
Succe?!, Financial and Social,
Assured by Local Talent.
It Is a far cry to far-off Messina, yet
the great charitable heart of the people
of Portland has heard the cry. Some
are contributing money to the earth
quake sufferers, and society Is preparing
to offer Its services so that money may
be raised by a concert, which promises
to surpass anything of Its kind ever given
in the city. Unlike other events of a
company in the famous American drama.

charitable nature, It has not been neces
sary for the committee who has charge
of the benefit concert to solicit people to
serve. Quite the contrary. When it wa
known that a benefit concert was to be
given to raise funds for the stricken suf
ferers of Sicily, Frank B. Riley and the
rest of the committee In charge of the
concert, were overwhelmed with offers.
As a result the entertainment will b
not only a social success, but best of all,
a great financial success.
The musical numbers alone would hav
been sufficient to have carried the con
cert through with brilliancy, for four of
the best voices In the city will be heard
Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, without whom
an event of this sort would hardly be
complete, Madame Norelll, Doni Zan and
Stuart McGuire will furnish the vocal
part of the programme.
In addition to this splendid display of
musical art, Mr. Riley has arranged with
the various vaudeville houses to donate
to the concert their top-liners from the
new bills of the week. There will also
be a number of people, with splendid
talent added to the programme. One dls
tlnctlve and amusing feature will be Leo
Shapirer. a brilliant and eccentric piano
player. Mr. Shapirer is a teller In the
First National Bank, but if Just for once
he could be a vaudeville star, his playing
on two pianos at once would make a hit.
He has been seen twice In Portland, once
at the Minstrel show given by the Span
ish War Veterans, and again at the mid
night matinee. His act was considered
scream. W . A. Coughlan will do
novelty turn. He Is a ventriloquist and
111. it Is said, furnish something sensa
tional.
While It Is not definitely settled, the
muslo for the concert will probably be
furnished by De Caprlo. If this can be
arranged, all the vocal numbers will be
sung under the leadership of the well-
known directorship of De Caprio. Mr.
Riley also announced yesterday that
every florist In the city had willingly
come to the front and would contribute
flowers to be sold through the audience
by well known society women.
"Babes In Tojland" Matinee Tomorrow.
"Bates In Toyland" will attract crowds
to the Baker next week, for the beautiful

Plaintiffs in Other Cases.
Joseph W. Dean Tells- of
Husband's Brutality; Freed.
Desertion Common Charge.
Joseph W. Dean's frequent and vio
lent fits of passion, during- which Mrs.
B. E. W. Dean testified yesterday that
she was shamefully abused, were made
the ground for a divorce, which was
granted by Judge Gantenbein in the
Circuit Court yesterday morning., Mrs.
Dean said that her husband pushed her
against a stump last January, Injuring
her back, and threatening to kill her,
Two months later, she said, he pushed
her over, so that she fell and struck
her head violently on the floor. Her
husband's fits of rage, she said, were
accompanied by a superfluity of curses.
Although Dean had filed In the Circuit
Conrt an answer to his wife's com
plaint,, he did not appear yesterday to
contest her suit, and It went by de
fault. She was permitted to resume
her maiden name Bessie E. Winter.
She married Dean January 6, 1907.
Judge Gantenbein granted nine di
vorces yesterday, only two of which
were to husbands. The most frequent
charge was desertion, although cruelty,
drunkenness and non -support figured in
the trials.
Nathan Fullerton said that Ethel Ful
Ierton left him for no other reason
than that she could not live happily
with him any longer. He said she left
In July, 1907. They were married Sep
tember SO, 1899. W. E. Wren said he
had provided Cora E. wren with a
comfortable home ever since their wed
ding, but that she deserted him and
would not return. Thoy married at
Niellsville, Wris., December 24, 1904.
Pearl Keegan said that Alex Keegan
has acquired a habit of drinking since
their marriage, and that he now be
comes intoxicated 'three times a week
on an average. She said she had not
only been abused, but had suffered for
the necessaries of life. Upon her state-
ment that Her husband earns $80 a
month, the court -ordered that he pay
her $20 a month for the support of
their child, of which she was awarded
the custody. The couple were married
July 17, 1905.
Nellie E. Weniff also told of the in
dignities heaped upon lier by a drunken
husband. She said he at last deserted
her. They were married at Astoria,
March 25. 189G. She was given the cus
tody of their child, and $25 a month
alimony.
Bertha M. Smith said R. B. Smith, a
saloonkeeper, spoke disparagingly of
her character when they were living at
Seaside, and that many times, when, he
was brought home drunk, he had
threatened to shoot her. She was given
a clear title to her Seaside property,
$25 alimony, besides a lump sum of
$2000, and $75 attorneys' fees, which
the husband must pay. They were mar
ried at Vancouver, Wash., June 6, 1901.

NEW ATTORNEY FOR FINCHJ
John A. Jeffrey Appointed to Cas
of Convicted Slayer.
John A. Jeffrey was appointed by
Judge Bronaugh yesterday morning as
attorney for James A. Finch, the convict
ed murderer of Ralph B. Fisher. The
appointment was made in open court at
Finch's request. The time allowed by
the court for filing a motion for a new
trial would have expired today, but an
extension of five days was allowed that
Attorney Jeffrey may have an opportun
Ity to examine the records In the case.
Finch has intimated that one of the
grounds for a new trial will be the al
leged mismanagement of his case by his
attorneys. He said that Charles F.
Lord, who made the opening statement
to the jury, had not studied the case
sufficiently to tell what Finch's testi
mony would be, although Finch says he
took the pains to write out what he in
tended to say on the witness stand. Lord
has said that he gave his best endeavor
in behalf of Finch, notwithstanding that
he was compelled to act without remun
eration.
