"Oh, God, It Is Not True,'
Cries Mrs. Collins, Ac
cused of Murder.
TAKEN TO COURT IN AUTO
Sheriff Personally Attends to Re
moral of Woman From Sanator
ium to Be Arraigned for
Slaying Husband.

her ear In a vain endeavor to exclude
the words char-gin her with the murder
of her young husband. Dr. Roy A. Miles
c Colling. Mrs Kate Collins was arraijmea
before Circuit Judges Gatens. and Bro-
naueh at noon yesterday. As District
Attorney Cameron made the announce
ment that "this Is the time set for the
rralsmment of Mtb. Collins." she emit-
td a irroan. and as the words "murder
In the first degree" fell upon her ear,
he moan out. "Oh. God, it Is not true."
Judsre Gatens paid a visit to Crystal
Springs Sanatorium early yesterday
niornirur. and although Mrs. Collins ap
peared weak, he decided that there was
not sufficient cause for delaying the ar
raignment, which had been put off since
the first of the week at the behest of
her attorney. R. E. 93wall. Sheriff Ste
vens accordingly took Matron Cameron
In his automobile, and at 11 o'clock was
whiziinsr out East Morrison street and
the Base IJne Road toward Mount Ta
bor. He returned to the Court House
with Mrs. Collins at 11:50. With him In
the automobile was Mrs. Gertrude Gar
ner. Mrs. Collins" daughter.
Hides Face From Camera.
As Mrs. Collins was assisted from the
auto an effort was made to take her
photograph. But she no sooner saw the
camera than she burid her face In her
trm. Mrs. Garber hastening between her
and the camera.
Mrs Collins was dressed In hlack, and
was hatless except for a heavy black
veil covering her head and face. Sup
ported on one side by Matron Cameron
and on the other by her daughter, she
made her way up the Courthouse steps,
but as she reached Judge Gatens' court
room, at the north end of the bulldlnjr.
she made every effort to wrench herself
away from her guardians, so that It
was necessary for Sheriff Stevens to take
a hand and force her into the court
room. Judge Gatens and District Attorney
Cameron were notified at once. On ac
count of the hate with which the ar
raignment was had. there were but few
spectators. Mr. Cameron requested the
woman to rise while the Indictment was
being read, but Sirs. Collins" attorney.
Mr. Sewall. asked that this be waived,
and Judge Gatens permitted It.
Refuses to Answer Question.
"Mrs. Kate Collins, is that your true
name?" afiked Mr. Cameron.
"It is." replied Mr. Sewall.
Mr. Cameron repeated the question, but
Mrs. Collins only paled a little whiter,
and refused to answer. "I think she
should answer." said Judge Gatens, when
Attorney Sewall said he could answer
for her.
The woman buried her head first In the
neck of Mrs. Cameron and then in that
of her daughter, then put her hands to
her ears to keep out the sound. District
Attorney Cameron, unmoved by her ac
tions, continued the reading of the paper,
and as the word "murder" fell on her
ears the muffled groan, "Oh, God!"
escaped her. followed a little later by the
statement. "It isn't true."
Attorney Sewall asked for five days in
which to enter Mrs. Collins' plea, and
this was allowed. The woman will plead
next "Wednesday.
Three Years, r.ee'6 Sentence.
Charles Iee pleaded guilty 'esterday
to a statutory charge and was sentenced
to three years in the penitentiary by Cir
cuit Judge Gatens.
REJECTED, HEDRINKS ACID
Clothes-Cleaner, in Love With Wom
an Partner, Tries to Knd Life.
As a result of a lovers" quarrel, aug
mented by a series of business tangles.
J. C. Hoffman, part owner of the Regal
Dry Cleaning establishment, at 102
, Grand avenue, quaffed cyanide of potas
sium yesterday In an effort to end his
life. He was discovered a few mo
ments later writhing in agony on the
floor of a room in the pear of the estab
lishment, and Patrolman Bales aum
moned City Physician Zeigler. Emetics
were administered and after several
hours Hoffman was pronounced out of
danger.
It is said Hoffman worried over af-
fairs of the cleaning establishment In
which he Is a partner with Mrs. Anna
Jewell, a divorcee, with whom he is in
love. Yesterday morning Hoffman re
newed his protestations of love for Mrs.
Jewell, and a quarrel followed. As a
sequel Hoffman retired to a rear room
to commit suicide by drinking a. solu
tion of cyanide of potassium, an acid
for cleaning purposes.
Evidently overcome by remorse for
Ms attempt upon his Irfe he fell to the
fioor and cried loudly for help. Mrs.
Jewell was in an adjoining room and,
hearing his appeals for assistance, sire
hurried to Hoffman's side and sum
moned aid.

VARIOUS WOE-TALES TOLD
Speaks on Enormity of Offense and
Lectures Father of One Boy
for Son's Misdeed.
The rail-greasing episode on Council
Crest last Sunday has turned out to be
more serious than was at first reported.
Motorman Mullen, called upon to testify
before Juvenile Judge Bronaugh yester
day afternoon, was running the first car
which came down the grade after
Charles Cross and Edward Kruschke. the
12-year-old boys, began to grease the
rails. Mullen said yesterday he did not
discover the grease in time to stop be
fore running into It, and that his car,
containing 25 passengers, would have
been ditched except That the switchman
at the first derailing switch closed It Just
In time. He managed to stop the car
before he reached the next one, he said.
Frank Warren, at the lower switch, 6aid
Motorman Mullen told him two boys were
up the track, but he did not understand
then they were greasing the rails. In 10
or 15 minutes he went up, however, and
said yesterday he found them in the act
of greasing. Cross on one rail and Kru
schke on the other. At that time, he
said, a tripper had followed Mullen's car
down the 12 per cent grade. Conductor
Hudson, who was with Mullen, said 25
passengers were on the car. Warren sent
the boys to town in charge of the conduc
tor of the next car, and proceeded to wipe
off the grease.
J. R. Cross, the father of one of tho
lads, is a carpenter living at 7 East
Tenth street. He formerly lived at Aber
deen, Wash. Judge Bronaugh asked him
if he administered any correction for his
boy's misconduct. "No," answered Cross,
"but I talked to him a little and told him
what tho result of the greasing would
be." Cross admitted his boy lied to him
about the affair at first, and that he
(Cross) has made no effort to learn the
facts from anyone else. "I have to work
for a living. I haven't time to go around
hunting people," he said. He said too,
he did not know where his boy was Sun
day afternoon, that when the lad had
left home he did not ask him where he
was going. ""I never have kept my chil
dren under lock and key," he said. "I
told them to behave themselves when
thev went, and let them go. But the
boys didn't realize that anything serious
mlcht happen. They were Just walking
along towards home putting little dabs
on the rail." The boys said the report
that they were ejected from a streetcar
was not correct. Kruschke is an orphan.
He went to Council Crest, he said, to ride
on the scenic railway.
Judge Bronaugh decided to sentence
the boys next Tuesday. '"It is frightful
to contemplate what might have occurred
on a line like that of Council Crest from
this sort of thing." said the Judge. "Yet
the extreme youth of these offenders
must be taken Into consideration in ae-
termlning what punishment to mete out.
It Is unfortunate there Is not a midway
point between probation and the Reform
School for children of this age. I always
hesitate to Impose a Reform School sen
tence for a first offense, but this one is
very serious. I will take It under advise
ment until Tuesday afternoon.
SOLDIERS DO FIELD WORK
First Infantry in Camp at Grand
Ronde Agency.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash.,
Aug. 20. (Special.) The First United

nual practice march. The regiment, com-
ancYed bv Lteuter.ant-tjoionei jame s.
Rogers, left here August g and marched
to Tlgard. through Portland, a distance
of 30 miles, where It camped for the
night.
The column was headed by the regi

page. On August 9 the regiment camped
at Newberg, August 10 at McMinnville,
on the 11th at Sheridan, reaching Grand

camp was established.
The regiment Is engaged In the solu
tion of tactical problems, the construc
tion of field works, the building of
bridges, etc. The camp Is located on the
west bank of the Yamhill River and Is a
model in every respect. In addition to
the hard work connected with the annual
march, the officers and enlisted men
have managed to devote some time to
their individual pleasures.
Last Sunday the First Infantry base
ball team met and defeated the Wil
lamina ball team on the latter grounds,
it to 4. Many of the men find pleasure
in fishing and others In hunting.
A band concert by the First Infantry
Band and a dance will be held at the
agency, at Grand Ronde, on Saturday
evening, next. On Sunday. August 22, a
return game of baseball will be played
between the Willamlna and First In

serted and Humiliated by Faith
less Mates Wife Accused of
Frequenting Saloon.
Circuit Judge Gatens granted five di
vorces yesterday morning. Two of the
three wives who obtained decrees said
their husbands beat, choked and almost
strangled them. Delphia Ross was one of
these. She said she married D. A. Ross
at Baker City. October 21. Wf, but that
their married life had been far from
happy. They lived at Youngstown,
Wash., for a time, she said, and her hus
band was In the habit of drinking. She
told also of being choked while they, were
living at the College Hotel, Fourth and
Clay streets, a year ago last April. Judge
Gatens allowed the decree and permitted
her to take her maiden name, Shepharck
Mrs. Marian A. Shorkley told of being
woefully abused by Elmer Lee Shockley
early this month, while they were liv
ing at 351H Stark street. He knocked her
down and then seized her by the throat,
according to her testimony. She married
him at Boise. Idaho. January 18, last
year. She was divorced.
Mabel M. Steinmetz said she lived with
Peter Steinmetz for 14 years, and that
they have two children. But he desert

The marriage took place at Woodland,
Wash., April 10, 1894.
Anthony Lang obtained a divorce from
Wllmlna Lang, whom he married at
Lake City, Minn., November 2, 1904. He
charged desertion. A similar charge made
by Walter J. Holeombe against Emily
Holcombe resulted in their divorce. They
were married at St. Paul, Minn., In Oc
tober. 1899.
An affidavit signed by John M. Allen,
to the effect that his wife, Margaret Al
len, frequented the rear room of a sa
loon in Denver, Colo., was filed in the
Circuit Court yesterday. He says he came
to Portland in 1906 to establish a better
home for his family than he was able to
provide in Denver, and that he senfhis
wife money In December of the same
year, expecting that she would follow
him and bring with her their two chil
dren. But she went to Chicago instead,
he says. The children are now in the
care of a Mary Glennon In Chicago, says
Allen, and he Is contributing $5 a week
for their support. He says Mary Glen
non took the children away from his wife
because she was not fit to care for them.
Allen is employed by the Oregon Engrav
ing Company. He says he earns fSO a
month.
Olive D. Ten Eyck has brought a di
vorce suit in the. Circuit Court against

MAYOR IS AFTER RECORD
DECLARES EVERETT - STREET
MAIN TO BE LAID QUICKLY.
Executive Intends to Set Pace for
Other Contractors and to
Break Up Combine.
Mayor Simon' evidently intends to set
a high and proper example for his fellow
contractors to follow, for he "got busy"
immediately upon being awarded the
contract by the Water Board Thursday
morning for laying an eight-Inch main in
Everett street, from Nineteenth to the
Cornell road. Yesterday the necessary
pipe was laid along the street, and Su
perintendent Dodge, of the Water De
partment, had called upon the Civil Ser
vice Commission for, 30 laborers to in
stall the pipe.
"I have no Intention of asking for an
extension of time in which to complete
my contract," said Mayor Simon, laugh
ingly, yesterday morning. "I believe in
doing things, and I am going to have
that main laid In record time."
The action of the Mayor and menVbers
of the Water Board in awarding the con
tract for laying the Everett-street main
has created the sensation of the year
among the contractors, who have been
having things all their own way in Port
land for a long time. Figuratively speak
ing, it took their breath away, and It has
demonstrated to them that the city has
the power and will not hesitate to enter
Into competition with them, unless bet
ter rates are quoted In future bids for
this and other kinds of improvement
work.
There is a combination of contractors
in Portland, it Is said, which has con
trolled every form of Improvement work
for years .and no contractor dares "buck" I
this combine. Territory Is divided, and
each contractor gets his orders upon what
work to submit bids, and the others
never Interfere with him. Usually, two
or three contractors bid on a given Job,
and the others do not bid on that par
ticular work: the bids never conflict with
each other to any great extent, and many
times it Is apparent that comparisons
have been made by the alleged competi
tors, and there is virtually no competi
tion at all.
In regard to laying water mains, the
contractors have been bidding" so high
that np mains have been laid for more
than a year. This policy has led to actual
famine of water In several 'communities,
and has held hack the growth of many
districts.

LAW MAY BE INVOKED
COUNCIL WOfLB PROSECUTE
LONE FIR'S OWNER.
City Attorney Is Ordered to Probe
Desecration of Graveyard Legal
Action May Be Prompt.
Acting City Attorney Tomlinson was
instructed by the street committee of the
City Council yesterday afternoon to in
vestigate the laws concerning the gov
ernment of cemeteries and to ascertain
if there is any legal way to force the
Lone Fir Association to pay for its por
tion of tho Bast Stark-street grade and
for a retaining wall to keep the earth
along the north side of the cemetery in
shape. He was also asked by Councilman
Kubli. in whose ward the cemetery lies,
to see if Wilson Benefiel, chief stock
holder, can be prosecuted for burying the
dead in the streets and lanes of the
graveyard.
"I want to see if there is a way to
prosecute Mr. Benefiel under the crim
inal statutes." said Councilman Kubli.
"There should be some means of bring
ing him to time and of stopping the dis
graceful actions in that cemetery. Even
now they are burying in the streets
there, although Benefiel told the Mayor
and myself some time ago that every
lot had been sold and that he was
hardly making expenses."
Benefiel Would Quit.
It Is said that Benefiel threatens to dis
solve the corporation and quit the ceme
tery business altogether if the city con
tinues to press1 him, but this threat has
had no effect whatever upon Mayor Si
mon or Councilman Kubli. They reiter
ate their intention of making the stock
holders of the cemetery association pay
their portion of the street improvement
and for the retaining wall, if there is
any way to do it.
"There will be something doing In this
matter." said the Mayor yesterday.
"The city will not allow an expenditure
of $15,000 for the purpose of improving
Lone Fir Cemetery, but it will fight to
recover from the cemetery association a
Just portion of the cost of the grade and
retaining wail."
The street committee will hold up,
temporarily, the proposed ordinance, car
rying a $5000 appropriation for the retain
ing wall, until the report of Acting City
Attorney Tomlinson is " received, which
will be within the next two or three
weeks. It will then be determined what
course to pursue. In the meantime.
Councilman Kubli declares he will ask
the Council to order a thorough investi
gation of the cemetery, and especially
to ascertain where Benefiel burled eight
corpses, disturbed by the steam shovel
used on the big grade on East Staxk
street. Mr. Kubli thinks they are all
burled in one grave.
Whole Country Aroused.
The desecration of graves and the re
ported - disgraceful conditions abounding
in Lone Fir Cemetery have created Nation-wide
interest. Councilman Kubli de
clares that Benefiel has received more
than 1000 letters from all over the coun
try since publication of the situation in
the Portland newspapers, and that hun
dreds of telephone calls have come from
all over the Coast, seeking information
as to the names of the persons who were
buried in the graves scooped out by the
steam shovel because the cemetery as
sociation allowed people to be buried in
Stark street.
The street committee yesterday voted
a recommendation to the Council that
the time be extended two years for the
laying of the under-ground electric sys
tem, asked for by the various companies
interested.
At the request of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, and upon
recommendation of City Engineer Mor
ris, brick will be used in future along
side of the rails of this company where
hard-surface pavements are being laid
in residence sections. Nothing but as
phalt, bitullthic or Hassam will be laid
between the double tracks or track, as
Mr. Morris considers this a better im
provement than to lay Belgian blocks, as
Is now being done.
