President of Overlook Com

on Three Counts.
S. L WERTHEIMER, Pres. and Gen. Mgr.
Cor. Fifth and Alder Streets
APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN
Capitalist Is Sentenced for 2 0 Iays
and Must Remain in Cell Until
Sale Contracts Are Placed
In Evidence.
K. Henry Wemme. capitalist and
president of the Overlook Land Com
psny, must g-o to the County Jail for
ever and 10 days, unless he decides
to comply Wth Circuit Judge Ganten
bein s order that he bring: to court cer
tain sale contracts In his possession.
This was the decision of the five Cir
cuit Judges who heard the contempt
proceedings. Judge Gantenbein an
nounced it at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Wemme Is at liberty on bonds,
pending appeal.
Wemme was found guilty of con
tempt on three counts. For disobeying
the order of Judge Gantenbein. made
April 8. he was sentenced- to the County
Jail for 20 days, and to pay a fine of
1100. For falling; to bring; the sale con
tracts to court on April 10 he was
fined 1100. and for disobeying the order
of April 12 he was found guillty of In
solent and wilful contempt in the pres
ence of the court, and ordered to pay a
fine of $100. besides being sentenced
to the County Jail until he brings the
contracts to court. Ho must put up a
$1000 bond In each case. Judge Thomas
O'Day, who appears as attorney for
Wemme, gave notice that he will appeal
the cases to the Supreme Court. He
aid that he will endeavor to obtain
from the higher tribunal an order upon
the Circuit Court, preventing; It from
punishing Wemme more than once for
what Judge O'Day characterized the
same offense.
One Case Still Stands.
The main contempt case, in which
Wemme is charged with having violated
the order of the court In falling to turn
over to E. Shelley Morgan, as receiver,
the books and record of the Overlook
Land Company, was submitted to the
court yesterday afternoon, and taken
under advisement. This case Judge
Gantenbein will decide alone.
The case of A. F. Swensson against
Wemme, the Overlook Land Company
and others, has not yet been committed
to the court. This is the case out of
which the contempt cases arose. The
hearing in it was continued yesterday
until April 29, as Attorney Dan J. Ma
la rkey, attorney for Morgan and
Swensson. Informed the court that his
time is fully occupied at present with
the Tee Gueng murder trial. The
Swensson case had been set for hear
ing April 21.
Attorney George Joseph, for the de
fense, said lie, thought that if Wemme's
bonds are Increased, those of Swens
son and Morgan should be also, as he
aid that they have only $500 bonds
up now. He asserted that the damage
to 'Wemme already amounts to more
than that. He also said that the court
should allow Wemme to contract for
the sale of t"he lots, as this la a good
time of year to make sales. When the
court suggested that the order be com
piled with, and tha. the sales be made
through the receiver, Mr. Joseph said
that "the receiver shall not have an
opportunity to loot this concern."
Five Judges Reach Decision.
Mr. Morgan replied that no attempt
was being made -to do that, and the
court told the defendants that an op
portunity was afforded them in the
original case to take Swensson's stock
off his hands and thus avoid the ap
pointment of a receiver, and that they
refused, so he would not make the order
asked for.
In announcing the decision of the
five Judges. Judge Gantenbein said:
"Under the circumstances in this
case the court deemed it advisable to
call In all the Judges. Two questions
were considered:
"First, whether the conduct of the
witness Wemme, as appearing from the
records of this case, under the law,
constituted contempt of court;
"Second, whether there was a right
of appeal.
"I will state that tne Judges were un
animous In the conclusion that the con
duct of Wemme constituted contempt
of court, in the Immediate presence of
the court. The Judges were also unani
mous in the conclusion that he has a
right to appeal from the decision of
this court In a case of this chaacter."
Judge Gantenbein then read the three
orders.

In connection with the suggestion of
bringing out a further candidate the
name of State Senator H. R. Albee was
being mentioned yesterday. Senator Al
bee Is spending a few days on his ranch
at Hood River and will not return until
Sunday. He is reported to have ad

his colleagues in the recent State Leg
islature, that if he should be selected

In the primaries, he would leave the

that he would accept such a nomina
tion. Senator Albee for several years
has been engaged in the insurance busi
ness in this city and was selected as a
Statement No. 1 member of the Senate
last June.
Supporters of Simon and the other
candidates on the assembly ticket are
more than satisfied with the situation.
The disorganized condition of the oppo
sition and the inability of the Demo
crats to unite on a candidate have af
forded the Simon forces occasion for
much felicitation. Said A. B. Manley,
chairman of the Republican City Cen
tral Committee, yesterday:
"The atmosphere ls clearing daily.
Success of the assembly ticket, while
at no time In doubt, is now practically
assured."

CONSTRUCTION OF IMPERIAL
ANNEX IS ADVANCING.
New Building and Present Hotel to
Be Equipped In Most Mod

The Imperial Hotel, at the northeast
corner of Washington and Seventh
streets, is to have two additions after
October 1. The more Important ls the
nine-story building now under course
of construction on the southeast cor
ner of Stark and Seventh being erected
ifn,3- Wllcox at a cost of about
250,000; the -other addition will be

the hotel.
The new building occupies the quarter
block. 100x100 feet, being the same
ground dimensions the present hotel oc
cupies. The building ls of reinforced
concrete and L shaped, there being a
court comprising 3600 square feet of
the southeast corner. This big space
will afford light and air to all the
rooms facing it and makes every room

In the new building there" will be
1S8 rooms exclusive of the ground floor
and these, with the 132 rooms in the
present hotel, will provide 300 rooms in
the New Imperial. It is the Intention
of the proprietors, Philip Metschan &
Sons, to have the present hotel com
pletely overhauled and modernized, re
furnished and rearranged. There are
to be three entrances to the hotel when
the new part ls finished and the pres

Mr. Wilcox bought the site for the

bargain. The exterior of the structure
is to be faced with granite for the
first story and with terra cotta or
glazed brick on the upper stories.

Democrats are meeting with no greater
success than the antl-Slmon Republicans
in finding a candidate for Mayor. George
Thomas, chairman of the Democratic
organization, and his associates are re
ceiving flat but firm declination from
those members of the party who have
been asked to stand for the nomination
In th primaries. R. D. Inman and Tom
Word, who are regarded by Democrats as
two of the strongest men within their
ranks, have both refused to consider the
Mayoralty nomination and the committee

such a course ls essential In all political

Simon would win the nomination in the
primary election.
Kellaher Would Weaken Lane.
The defeat of Rushlight, against whom
idme ls not saying anything unkind, it Is
generally understood, would mean- the
introduction of Kellaher as an Independ
ent candidate In the campaign preceding
the June election. Even should Lane be
come a candidate, he Is said to bo ex
ceedingly doubtful of winning out with
Simon and Kellaher running against him.
Lane figures that Kellaher would cut
Into his strength without materially
weakening the support of Simon with the
result that It would be found when the
votes were counted that the assembly
candidate had won.
While the (Mayor's argument sounds en
tirely plausible and although there ls a
disposition In some quarters' to accept
seriously his repeated assertions that he
will not run again, there prevails a strong
feeling that Lane will yet be dragged
into the contest. This opinon Is based on
the probability that the anti-assembly
Republicans will not be able to bring out
a man against Simon in the primaries.
That would mean the unquestioned nom
ination of Simon.
.In that event there ls a possibility that
the opposition to Simon may be able to
bring sufficient influence to force the re-
