SHE EVADES MAIN QUERY Song Bird Declares She Will Xol Abandon Career for Matrimony. Appreciates Good Advertising Her Affairs Afforded. First ana foremort for Oregon, then omea her Brt; A thirdly, a bad third perhaps, cornea Claus Spreckels. the young San Francisco Millionaire with whom Pame Rumor has connected her name.

She quite frankly says she does not wish to talk about It. but if it must come out. well. she and Mr. Spreckels are "just good friends, very good friends." v 111 there toe anything more?" That J?, T" 8UCh a lot of thlnfts. Is the reply. But there is a smile with which the reply is given that makes Miss Case o i?,," a1omiliBh6d evader of the main question. She sayo she has had practice i. and that"s he reason. C" wa not nsaged when ahe and the young millionaire left Paris to gether, accompanied by Miss Case's chap HV ShoJdld t quite say that, but '1:71;; from Paris to that v"' yo.u 6nl when you reached ThiT In rk? " wa the natural retort. To this Miss Case promptly replied. "No ThrnhTU.ha8 yet been enounced. T9.na been none to deny, because none has been announced." And there you we. ,Th.tn lt Tra8 "8r8rested to Miss Case .if the propinquity of life on a steam ship had a lot to account for, she still mlled, but she did not deny the issue. Every Chance to Wed. "We could have been married a score of times at New York, the reporters were so kind In that respect." she add ed with a shade of sarcasm In her voice. They told us they had everything ready and they only wanted our con sent, and we could have married with out 'Daddy- Spreckels being one whit the wiser." There is one point on which Miss Case Is certain. Should she. that should be carefully repeated), marry voung Spreck els it would mean the giving up of her career. There is no question about lt, he admits the facts quite plainly, but whether this Is because of the personal wishes or requirements of Mr. Spreckels pere or fils. she does not say. "And lt Is rather a great thing to give up," she said. "When a girl has won her way to the top by real hard work, it Is rather hard to give up right at once." And she voices It In such a win ning way it Is Impossible not to agree with her and with everything she says. That she has reached the top In vocal attainment appears to be unques tioned. Before giving- actual nrnnr o the piano, as she kindly did, saying it was the first time she had sung- for two weeks, she told of three offers she ha.l to appear in grand opera rext Winter, In addition to the standing offer that Fritz Kriesler made her be fore she left Paris. Then there is her old position at the American Church at Purls, the leading American church In Europe, which will be held open for three months pending her acceptance. A hen she sang she made apologies for frogs" in her throat. It appeared un necessary, for her charming contralto voice rang out true and clear. She arrived from Chicago by the Chi cago special last night. Anticipating a crowd of reporters." she wired Depot Master Uvons to conduct her from the train by stealth. Just how Lyons did it he would not say. neither would Miss Case, hut the fact remains, he smuggled her from the train into a waiting car riage and it was not until hours later that she consented to be seen at the home or Mrs. Preston Smith, her friend and to use Miss Case's own words, "my adopted mother." "Mumsey" is really what Miss Case calls Mrs. Smith, but she is trying hard to overcome the tend ency to slang. Adopts French Shrug. Instead or that, she has the habit of slng occasional French words. "Mon iMeu how absurd!" she said, when toM ,'POr, thBt Mr- sl-eckel.s had denied any engagement on the arrival or the liner at .New York. A sain h. tnld of driving in the 'hois' at New York.

Its not that Miss Case is prettv or lovely, but there is a queer, delight ful fascination that hangs around her and makes the passerby envious of Claus Spreckels. For really Mr. Spreckels does occupy a warm part of Miss Case's tieart. the tries to pretend he doesn't at least as far as she can. but she has Just to be looked at. questioningly. and she reads the question and again repeats we are very, very good friends." Miss Case and -Mr. Spreckels never met after she left New York. There he saw her to a Chicago train and did not follow for two days. She admits he tried to find her In Chicago, but he tried the wrong Buckleys, living at the wrong Park He then gave up in disgust and lett for an Diego, precisely one day be fore slip left for Oregon It Is almost impossible to get Miss Case to talk about anything but Oregon "Ore gon is just the loveliest place yo'u ever tr'V aid" '-1 can harlly believe the roses ,re not the half-imitation ones I have peen abroad, and I have to keep smelling them to see if they are real " She suited the action to the word. Free Tuition Her Gift. But she Is a home-loving girl. too. She caressed lovingly her mother and brother who were close by. She laughed with them. She recounted some of her funny experiences and she told, with emotion, of the kindness showered upon her by King Clarke her teacher, at whose studio she has at tended during the whole of her time in Paris.

When asked about her plans she was a little doubtful. She was unsettled, had made no definite plans. Asked about her local plans, and about offers In the Northwest that might be made to her. she said: "I can only say my rates are very high." She added that her tour. If any, in the Northwest would be under the Lois Steers-Wynne Coman manage ment; in fact, any arrangements that might ensue -in the Northwest would probably be under the guidance of local impresarios. She has a sound business head of her own. She talks logically, concise ly. She jokes at times and has a keen sense of humor. She is not silly, and if she follows out the aims she ex pressed last night she unquestionably will make a hit. And she says -that, for a time at any rate, she will follow the course she has mapped. It was In appreciative humor that she spoke of the "lovely advertising" she had received. She wished that more of lt had been devoted to her art and less to her private affairs, but she felt anyway It had not been wasted. In fairness to her. she evidently did not like her many and various experiences, but being young and a girl she thought it all part of the game. Then she has done something in return to advertise Oregon. Everywhere she has talked of her state, although she was not born "in an Oregon City dugout. 29 years ago." as one report stated. Al though Miss Case is not yet 24 !years of age. she looks several years younger. As she bade good-night, it was Im possible not to wonder will she write to Claus? WILL LET IN AMERICANS GERMAN BANKERS ADVISED TO YIELD OX CHINESE LOAN. Berlin Government Also Ready to Open Way Taft Insists on American Rights. WASHINGTON. June 16.-Events are so shaping themselves In the matter of the proposed loan of S27.60O.O0O on the Han-kow-Sze-Chuen Chinese Railway as to make the State Department hopeful that the American group of bankers anxious to participate will be allowed to do so. Today a cablegram came to the de partment saying that the agents of the European bankers at Pekin had advised their principals to permit the New 1 orkers to join, and a dispatch from Ber lin caused the officials to state that the Administration was much gratified at the cordial reception which the government had given to the proposals for American participation. Meantime the rights of the American Government are being impressed on the Chinese Foreten Office and the hope is expressed that no steps will be taken that will interfere with what the Washing ton Government regards as an undeniable right of American financial Interests.

THE MORXIXG HOWARD GOULD. 1 IDPIIIII n ' STORIES Many Depict Mrs. Gould as Drunken Virago. STAGGERS AND SWEARS Servants of Castle Gould Tell of Mis tress' .Declaration to Husband r She Was Boss and Relate Other Incidents. (Continued From First Page!) to abuse me and a man named 'Tony." She said to me she wanted the big seven-foot hall clock moved, and I told her I would haye to get help and she said: 'Why, 1 can move it myself.' She was staggering drunk. She grabbed the heavy clock and both she and the clock fell against the wall together." "How many times do you think she was intoxicated during that 10 days'" asked Mr. Shearn. "Every other day," was the reply. Mrs. Gould came into court today at tired, as usual, in black, and sat at the counsel table near Clarence J. Shearn her attorney. When Mr. Gould entered he walked rapidly to a chair next to Delan cey Nicoll. his counsel, and busied him self looking over some papers. There was no sign of recognition on the part of either plaintiff or defendant. Curiosity to hear the testimony of How ard Gould when he, should take' the wit ness stand in his own defense brought a, throng of people to the courtroom. A large number ot women were present. Al though Mrs. Gould kept her thick veil over her face, she peered at the witnesses attentively. Reeled Against Archway. Harry Turner, a florist at Castle Gould, was the first witness called and told of several occasions when he had seen Mrs. Gould at the estate decidedly Intoxicated, in his opinion. One time in July, 1906, he said, she came into the garden, upbraided him, and appeared greatly excited and flushed. She reeled against an archway, he said, and was evidently under the In fluence of intoxicants. At another time, the witness said, he was summoned to the office of the estate. Mrs. Gould was there and asked him if IVItNALu OREGONIAX, THTJRSDAT, JUNE 17, 1909. he was "the watchman." although he said she had seen him often about the estate, and knew his position well. She kept repeating that she was Mrs. Howard Gould, he said, and appeared greatly ex cited and under the influence of liquor. Mr. Malloy, the manager of the estate, was there and the witness said Mrs. Gould turned upon him (Malloy).. and told him he was "discharged, and called him names which would not bear repeat ing. On cross-examination by Mr. Shearn, -the witness said he had never seen Mrs. Gould drink any liquor. There were sev eral other employes of the estate in the office when he saw her there, and she upbraided them all. the witness said. He does not remember what she said, but that she said some one would "get lt quick." "When she kept repeating that she was Mrs. Gould, don't you remember that she said it In connection with com plaining that 'you all refused to obey her orders and were not affording her the proper attention as servants V asked Mr. Shearn. The witness said he did not remem ber that. "Don't you remember anything she said about not being allowed to use her horses and the coach and four?" asked Mr. Shearn. "No," replied the witness. William Wysong. a native of Point Washington, who did construction work on the Gould estate In 1902 and 1903, testified that he saw Mrs. Gould in toxicated once in the Spring of 1902 or 1903. Mrs. Gould, he said, walked down the road near the basin and he heard her call loudly to "Mile-a-Mlnute Murphy," who had charge of the auto mobiles, the witness said, and call Murphy an objectionable name. The witness said he thought she was In toxicated at the time. Had to Hold Her In Carriage. Gus Wright, a clerk with a pronounced English accent, said he had seen Mrs. Gould intoxicated on two occasions at Castle Gould, where he was employed. Relnhold Carlson, who was employed at Castle Gould in 1904 and 1905 as head coachman, told of many Incidents when, in his opinion, Mrs. Gould was under the influence of liquor. In October, 1905, the witness said, she ordered out a carriage and had him drive her about the estate. "She could not sit steady In the seat." said Carlson. "Several times I took the reins In my right hand and placed my. left arm back of her to keep her from falling out of the carriage. We drove about two , miles and returned to the house. Her face was badly flushed, and her breath smelted of liquor and she was clearly intoxicated." Rheinhold Carlson, formerly coach man at Castle Gould, said Mrs. Gould on one occasion tried to drive through a gate, although it was closed. The wit ness said she once asked the lodge keeper if he had a revolver. "He told her he had," said Carlson, "and she or dered him to go down to the gate and shoot anyone who attempted to come in or go out. I could smell strong liquor on her breath and she was in toxicated." Carlson told of a coaching trip to Larchmont in July, 1905, when he saw Mrs. Gould acting as if intoxicated. Wild Drive to Catch Train. One afternoon Mrs. Gould hurriedly ordered a phaeton and a pair of horses and told Carlson she wanted to catch a train. He started the horses at a rapid pace, but Mrs. Gould kept telling him to drive faster, saying: "I don't give a damn if you kill the horses- I must get this train, and if I don't there will be trouble at the stables." Carlson said ho ran the horses all the way, a distance of two and a half miles, and then missed the train. Mrs. Gould told him to go back and discharge every one in the stables. They were all rein stated afterward by Mrs. Gould. The witness declared that Mrs. Gould was Intoxicated - on this occasion. Jane McConn, a chambermaid at the Gould estate in the Summer of 1904 testified that Mrs. Gould was Intoxicated the day she arrived at the castle. "I once took a bottle of brandy to her room and some times I heard tursing " said the witness. "Once. I heard her swear terribly." Told Gould She Was Boss. Miss McConn told of an altercation be tween Mrs. Gould and her husband, dur ing which her mistress said to Mr. Gould- "I'll show you who is boss of this place and who gives the orders. I will have everything done I want done here, and nobody can stop me, either." James Lauretzen. a footman employed by the Goulds, testified that one time Mrs. Gould stumbled and she would have fallen if the footman had not caught her. as she was getting out of her auto mobile in New York during the Winter of 1903-4. She was intoxicated at the time, he believed. He said he had seen her under the Influence of liquor several times that Winter.

SMITH PRISON LIBRARIAN Ex-Judge Commences Serving Term for Conspiracy In Bank Case. CHICAGO, June 16. Ex-Circuit Judge Abner Smith, convicted of conspiracy to cheat and defraud in connection with his wrecking of the Bank of America, is now an assistant librarian at the state prison in Jollet. The chaplain of the prison is librarian, and he has a staff of 10 assistants, all convicts. Mr. Smith, or No. 1920. as he is known at the penitentiary, was assigned to the prison library because of his advanced age, and his varied and comprehensive literary capabilities. Woman Weeps on Way to Jail. "I will die if I have to go back to that Jail. The girls in the women's ward talk awful; I can't stand it," declared Mrs. G. Bell, wife of a Lents carpenter charged with larceny by bailee, when she was being taken back to the County Jail yesterday afternoon following her preliminary examination on that charge before Justice J. W. Bell. . Mrs. Bell wept piteously. and it was necessary for the officers to call a taxlcab to tajce her to jail, so determined was her re sistance. Mrs. Bell spent Tuesday night in jail after she had been arrested on a charge of selling furniture upon which she still owed several payments. Her husband did not appear to give bail, nor did he attempt to console her. "Don't take me to jail," she pleaded. "My husband will let me stay there always. I have shielded him too long." WILEY TALKS OF COFFEE AND TEA Tells Charities Conference What Sort of Stuff Is Sold to Asylums. POLICE GET SEVERE RAP Chicago Woman Would Have Officer Friend of Small Boy, Not His Hereditary Enemy Photo graphic Work Shown. BUFFALO, N. T., June 16. Adulterated lard by wholesale, is supplied to public charitable institutions, according to Dr. H. W. WlleV: Of tllft UnllaJ t . ., . partment of Agriculture. In a paper read me iNauonai conference of Chari ties and Correction, here this morning, he charged that tho and jellies, of low grade flour, of meats which ao not command good prices, of imitation syrups and flavoring extracts, of oleomargarine, etc., in public chari table institutions had been extensive and continuous. . "In so far as the matter of nutrition Is concerned." said Dr. Wiley, "it ap pears to me that the question is an open one. In other words, it does not appear that there is any obligation resting upon the public authorities to purchase the highest grades of the articles used in Institutions of the kind mentioned. But there is another aspect of the question which Is of grave Importance, and that that the Inmates of such institutions should not be required and expected to eat filthy, decomposed or putrid foods of any description, or those which have been depreciated in character by any method of manufacture: nor to eat foods to which substances of doubtful whole someness have been added. "In a recent invest'sation by the De partment or Agriculture, made for the purpose of ascertaining the character of food supplied the Inmates of a number of institutions and soliders' homes, it was found that as a general thing the fare at these institutions is of the plainest kind consistent with necessary food value, and the supplies are generally pur chased by tho governing bodies, on contract, and with a decided leaning to ward economy. "As a pan of our investigation a num ber of samples of foods were found to be very deficient in character, as for illus trationof the total number of coffee samples analyzed. 17 per cent were found to be or good quality and true to name: the remaining 83 per cent all contained a varying proportion of immature and dead beans. It is something more than a coincidence that all of the impure sam ples had been glazed. We can only as sume that this process had been resorted to in order to conceal inferiority. One sample of tea was adulterated with 25 per cent of pea hulls and contained some starchy matter in addition. A sample of. dried peas "contained weevils and other small insects. "Prom the foregoing it is perfectly clear that some system of supervision of the dietaries or institutions needs to be de veloped." Rap at Police. Mrs. Joseph T. Bowen. a prominent so ciety woman, of Chicago, and president of the Juvenile Protective Association of that city, fired a broadside of criticism at the police department or the average American city. She said in part, "the police attitude toward children, especially boys, is all wrong. The children of the Immigrant instead of looking upon the policeman as a friend and regarding him as an enforcer of the law which they should respect, regard him as their mu tual enemy and try to get even with htm by breaking the law and escaping the consequences. "The same criticism can be applied to the special detectives employed by large houses and manufacturing concerns. They will pounce upon the boy who has stolen, regardless of the individual or the cir cumstances which led to the theft. They will, if possible, put him in the peniten tiary, quite forgetting that in so doing they lose the chance of making a good citizen and that the boy is damned for ever; for the youth who has been in prison feels that he has paid the full penalty and, after his release, finding himself without friends or employment feels that he has a grievance against society, throws in his lot with outcasts, and often becomes a confirmed criminal." "Photography is slowly but surely es tablishing itseir as a necessary aid to the social worker," said Lewis W. Hine. or the starr of the Survey, in an address before the section on publicity. Mr. Hine has begun to make a photo graphic record of the life of the modern toller in the great Industries of this coun try, an.1 of tenement dwellers in Ameri can cities, that is comparable with the work of E. S. Curtis In his wonderful photographic history of the American Indian. YEAR AT 0. A. G. ENDED DEGREES GIVEN TO 122 GRADU ATES OF INSTITUTION.
