Bibulous Husband and Belligerent
Relative Each Blames Other for
Trouble Which Ended Disas
trously to Both Parties.
Separated by only a few city blocks
and by an antipathy that la Immeasur
able, Jesse C. Moore Is lying: In a private
room In the Good Bamarltan Hospital,
and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Amelia
Wood, Is resting on & cot at St. "Vincents'.
Both show outward results of the en
counter in the Gladys apartments Thurs
day night, when Mrs. Wood shot her son-in-law
in the back and was herself badly
bruised by the young man.
Moore, whose condition It was thouKht
might be serious, is now expected to re
cover. The bullet Is apparently lodged
In the muscles of the back, but has not
yet been located. Mrs. Wood's principal
Injuries consist of a bruised body, a dis
colored eye and a black and blue fore
arm. A surgeon's bandage is over her
right elbow, on which the skin was
broken in the encounter.
Aside from his wound, Moore has a
swollen face, which he claims was given
him by his wife before the shooting. Mrs.
Moore, a slight, pretty blonde young wo
man, was able to be out yesterday and
showed no outward effects of the trouble
that almost cost her husband's life.
Motlier-in-Law Talks.
Mrs. Wood was able to see visitors yes
terday and was found at the hospital
talking to her daughter. Mrs. Moore, and
a friend, Mrs. J. S. Fisher, of 389 Han
cock street.
"Why don't you talk to him?" demand
ed Mrs. Moore, when her mother was
asked for a statement of the shooting.
"Find out what kind of women have been
calling on him all day at the other hos
pital," she suggested.
"Now. you keep still, Elsie," Interrupt
ed her Injured mother. "You had better
not say anything."
"Mr. Moore has - been abusing my
daughter for a long time," said Mrs.
Wood. "He would have other women
come to the store to see him and go out
utomoblling with them and then come
home drunk and abuse his wife. Oh. he's
a sport!
"He put me out of the house a short
time ago because I found him back of
the counter in his store with another
woman."
"Yes, she had to come and stay with
me a while." said Mrs. Fisher. "And
Mrs. Wood's a good, kind woman, too."
"I.ast night Mr. Moore came home
drunk," continued the mother-in-law. "I
heard my daughter scream and went Into
their room and turned on the light. 1

and he turned on me and knocked me
down. My daughter ran into another
apartment and he ran after her. He
caught her and tried to drag her back
into their own room, but the spring look
on the door had caught and he couldn't
get in. He said he would wipe out the
whole family. He had my daughter
Jammed against the door-post, and I was
afraid he would kill her. So I shot him.

ances of refinement.
Moore has studied medicine, and It was
hile engaged in his studies at Alton,
111., that he met Mrs. Moore, and mar
ried her seven years ago. He has worked
in several down-town drug stores and
June 1 of last year opened a store of his
own at 242 Alder street.
They have one child, a boy nearly 5
years old. who yesterday was put In the
custody of the Juvenile Court. Mrs.
Moore was permitted to take the child
during the afternoon, but was required
to report in court - with him at 3:20
o'clock.
Mrs. Wood Is a widow, and came here
fo Join her daughter from Chicago three
years ago. The family lived in the
Gladys Court, off Third street, between
Mill and Montgomery.
Mr. Moore has been placed under ar
rest and his bond fixed at 310,000, but In
the event bail is not furnished he will
not be removed from the hospital until
the physicians In charge say that his
oonaiuon wiii permit.
Mrs. Moore was given the temuorarr
custody of her four-year-old son Alton
by Juvenile Judge Gantenbein yesterday
morning, but an Injunction restraining
her from removing the child from the
state hangs over her head. Attorney
John Manning, representing the father,
asked that the hearing regarding the
custody of the child be postponed until
i-uesaay at 3:30 P. M-. which was dona.
Deputy District Attorney Mosesshon vis
ited Judge Gantenbein with the mother
yesterday, and asked that the boy be
removed from the hospital, where he was
taken with the father In the ambulance
lnursaay night.
A charge of assault with intent to kill
will probably be placed against the fath
er should he recover from his wound.
tnouia the charge be brought, it would
necessitate action on the part of the Anril
Grand Jury, which will be drawn in the
circuit Court next Monday morning.

Follower of Old Omar Plans to
Cross Continent in Light Canoe
Albert Chalivat, Trench Trapper, Maps Out Dangerous Trip From Ocean
to Ocean in Frail Craft.
Tra:
On
a
iRAPPER. hunter and student of
Omar Khayyam, Albert Chalivat,
young French guide, tramped
30 miles to get a train to Portland
that he might celebrate the birthday
of Edward Fitzgerald, translator of
the Rubaiyat. "The Rubaiyat is some
people's bible," said Chalivat. "Omar
knew the science of living. He lived
for himself, as I do. Therefore Omar
Khayyam supplies for me my bible."
Intrepidity and egoism are the two
strongest features in Chalivat's char
acter. He admits the Intrepidity, but
denies being an egoist. "Why am I
an egoist?" he says. "I know what
I can do, and I do it. If something
comes I cannot do I work until I have
really done it. I do not try. I have
no use for the man who simply tries.
A man should not try, he should do."
Chalivat this Summer proposes a
mild little trip by canoe from the wa
ters of the Facihc to the distant At
lantic Ocean. He says lie will accom
plish it. Leaving Portland, he will
travel up the Columbia as far as it
can be navigated by a canoe. From
that point he will carry his craft
nine miles over Griscom Portage to
the main fork of the Fraser River; leav
ing the main fork for the north fork'
of the Fraser. carrying to the Pars
nip, then into the Peace, carrying
into the Great Slave River, thence into
Athabasca lAke. He will make a
series of portages, and the Great Slave
Lake will be reached for the Wtnter
and from the lake there are many
routes to Hudson Bay. "When," said
Chalivat, "I walk n.to one of the forts,
they will ask me from where I come.
'From the waters of the Pacific,' I will
say."
"Danger? What do I care for dan
ger? Do you not take a risk when
you paddle 20 miles up the Willamette?
Perhaps you get upset once? Perhaps
I will be upset many times. But. dan
ger? What is danger when one is
fulfilling the destiny of a lifetime?"
"I want to make the trip with three
men. If I can't get three men I will
go with one. If I can't get one, I will
go alone, but if I go alone ray method
of going will have to be changed a lit
tle. I should like best to have one
friend to go with me. If I get one,
I do not want one who will say he'll
do his best or he'll try, but one who
will say, "We'll do it.' Bullbeadedness
and endurance have got wisdom
skinned to a fraszle."
Chalivat ruminated and flicked the
ash of his cigarette.
"Go alone? Well, if I do. I shan't
try to canoe up the Columbia, but I'll
take my salt and a pistol and hike for
the east side of the Rockies. There
I'll find toiiit blrohea and build a 12
foot canoe, on the same lines aa a fac-

the hardships of the trip," Interrupted
Lowdermilk. "Perhaps I will go, but
I don't think I want to now."
Then Chalivat began to talk of his
reasons for taking the trip. "Soon
the railroad will be through Central
Oregon, bringing grain to Portland
and carrying out tourists. T am not
happy unless I am 300 miles from a
railroad. In the whole trip I don't
have to cross a railroad or go nearer
than 200 miles to one. When I made
a tour through British Columbia I
was lost once for five weeks, besides
having no idea of what month it was.
The fact that I had to cross a rail
road spoiled the whole trip.
"There will be no money or glory
in it. I shall have accomplished the
purpose of my life. My purpose in
life is to please myself.
"My friend, F. V. Holman. says I
am wrong In some things. I am going
to prove to him that I am right. He
says Griscom Portage is only a few
hundred yards. I know better, and I
will prove it to him."
C. E. S. Wood is another believer In
the wild that Chalivat says he num
bers among his friends. "Like Mr.
Wood, when I am away in the woods
they call me atheistic, pantheistic, so
cialistic and anything else they can
think of. Should I choose to naint.
they say I should fish; if I fish, then
I should trap; but instead parbleau!
I please myself. I .care not for others.
"When I go away I hate to leave
my friends. My friends are those with
hom I don't disagree. I do not dis
agree with them because they agree
with themselves."
Chalivat laughed. His bearded face
set beneath the tan. "I am the great
est man In the world. Perhaps not to
you. out to mysen. All knowledge
in the world Is mine if I choose to
have it. Nobody has knowledge that is
any use to me. Edison, you say, illu
minated the electric lamp; that was
his knowledge. I need not use it
unless I like. If I do like, then it is
my knowledge."
Chalivat stopped to talk of old Omar
Khayyam. Backwards and forward
he appeared to know the Rubaiyat as
lew men can know it. Part of hi
creed, it had so entered Into his life
tnat it ruled his existence. Out of
his whole-souled admiration for Fitz
gerald ana nis translation he came
to Portland Just to celebrate with wine
and laughter the memory of the apos
tie of good living.
DRAW COURTHOUSE PLANS
December. 1901, and November, 1307, have
been ordered by Collector Loeb, of the
port of New York.
Mr. Loeb ordered the reconsideration of
the duty on sugar assessments.
Ex-United States Attorney Stimeon and
Assistant District Attorney Denison. who
prosecuted the previous cases, have been
retained by the Department of Justice as
special counsel to carry on further litiga-
xion.
Acting upon evidence which thev laid
before him. Collector Loeb ordered the
reilquldatlon of the duties and the in
crease of Jl. 239,000 in assessments. Of
this amount about 1100,000 has been naid
to the Government. In addition to the
assessment of Jl.239,000 the Government
claims it has been defrauded out of
about $500,000 in duties on sugar weighed
at the refinery of Havemeyer & Elder,
in Brooklyn, and also of J500.000 in duties

CURED TWO YEARS
AGO BY CUTICURA
A little over sir years ago I had a
sore come on my hand. I consulted a
doctor. He told me it was a ringworm.
It kept on getting worse so I went to
another doctor. He called it salt
rheum. I kept on taking his treatment
for some time but every washday my
hand would break out and be worse.
It continued to spread till It got over
my whole hand and up my arm, also on
my face. I suffered with the disease
about four years when a friend of mine
told me to try Cuticura. I got two
cakes of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cuti
cura Ointment and two bottles of Cuti
cura Resolvent. When I had used
them up, I was cured and I haven't
seen the least sign of the humor since.

the dirt off and my face pretty well cov

may know that I was pretty well skinned
up by the fact that both lips were cut
inside and out and the skin on my nose
and both cheek bones cut. Part of my
face was healed over in a week and the
scales came off and while the cheek is
still sore there are no marks to prove
that I was ever scratched. I would
also say that I use the Cuticura Soap
