GOU T HEARS TILT Mrs. James Mcl. Wood Objects to Reference to Drug. BROTHER ILL, SHE SAID Woman Accnses K. Quarkenbush of Carries no! in Administering Her Father's K-tate He Explains. Case Is Continued. A tilt between Mrs. James Mcl. Wood ar.d Edward Quackenbush, the executor of her father estate, occurred In County Judge Webster's court late yesterday afternoon when Mr. Quackenbush took the witness-stand to explain to the court his manner of handling the estate, which Mrs. Wood alleges han been careless. "The allegation Is made that you ad vanced too much money to Mrs. Wood, formerly Miss Almira Calef. and her brother. Allen Calef; what have you to way about it?" asked Quackenbusii's at torney. "At stated periods that charge may have been true, but Allen had frequent lapses on account of his morphine habit, from which we frequently had to pull him. and "Your own sons have been invalids all their lives." broke in Mrs. Wood, "and I don't, think you have any reason to bring these things to the front. To have said that my brother was 111 would have been sufficient." Prompted by Oath. "You hav n..a!Ied me most bitterly In your charges here." retorted Quacken bush. "so I think the whole truth should b- known, as I was sworn to tell It. Thrse advances were made after Mr. Calef became of legal age." Judge Webster asked If any claims were made against Quackenbush on ac count of the sums paid the heirs. Mrs. Wood's attorney replied tlvre were none. The will of Charles E. Calef. filed for probate In tlie County Court July 14, 1ST, provides that $li be paid to Mary B. "rouch. of Napa. Cal.. a sister of the d.-c?aned. to maintain her mother's and faiher'e graven; that she receive the fa.uily relics, and that the balance of the estate be divided equally among his wife. Harriet A. Calef. Allen Calef and Almira Calef. The property was to be divided equally between the children after the death of their mother. The widow. Charlea Hodge. Edward Quackenbush and M. S. Burred were Mined is executor, to act without giving bonds. The property was to be entirely converted Into cash, and In vested In Interest -bearing mortgages and securities for the benefit of the children. When Allen became 30 years old. and Almira 25. the property was to be turned over to them. Quackenbush Is the sole remaining executor. Mm Wood charges that Quackenbush did not report his transactions to the County Court for 20 years. In spite of the requirements of the state law, and that this has been detrimental to the estate because some transactions are now hidden. She also says he has kept no ac count of the estate's funds, while he should have kept such an account that a third party could have determined the estate's property, should he have died. It Is further charged that he has not acted under the control of the court, and that he has not collected In terest on various loans, losses occurring to the estate In five or six transactions. On the witness-stand Quackenbush said he was complimented by the heirs In 1P03. shortly after the panic, for the manner In which he had handled the estate's affairs. "We talked the matter over," he said, "and I did not file a report on account of the cost. Why. It cost 10 cents to file a voucher, and you couldn't spike several together as one. either. Then I told the heirs of the taxes they would have to pay, and we decided to wait until the time for filing the final account, and then the whole matter could be summarized." Ignorance Is Claimed. As to his reason for not obtaining court orders for his various transactions, Mr. Quackenbush said he never knew an ad ministrator could be relieved of his re sponsibility, hy action of the court. "I didn't know the court could take a matter out of the administrator's hands," he said." The witness said there might have been some trifling intermingling of his funds with 1ho-e of the estate. "1 usually kept the money In the Laid & Tilton Bank." he said, "and don't .think I made any loans after 1903. "I didn't keep a separate set of books for each separate loan, but whenever payments were made on loans they were entered on the envelopes containing the securities. Except for the taking In of some of the property because of the 1902 panic the whole thing would have been very simple. At that time it might have been better to have had the transactions In book form. The charge that Invest ments were made in such a way that If they turned out, good they could be reckoned as mine, and If bad as the estate's property. Is absolutely false. "I made loans outside this county be cause I received a higher rate of interest in 'Washington, and because an improved farm, with a sober man working it. was better security than I could find in Mult nomah County." The case will be continued by Judge Webster this morning. . ECLIPSE,' EYES SEE NOT OCCT.XT.YTIOX OF MARS TO BE IN VISIBLE HERE. AXXOYAXCE, DIVORCE BASIS Mrs. James J. Brown Sajs Husband Bothers Her on Streets. Because her husband, James J. Brown. Is In the habit, she says, of annoying her and her two children on the streets of Portland, Mrs. Florence A. Brown demands a divorce. She filed suit through her attorney. Charles J. Schnabel in the Circuit Court yes terday. Mrs. Brown wss married April 3, 1893. She complains that her hus band has become a habitual drunkard, and that she is obliged to support her self and children, and that two years ago rast April he deserted her and told her to' go to her mother.- Washington.

Somewhere out in the middle of the Carribean Sea. an eagle-eyed observer with a powerful telescope may be able to see the occultation of Mars by the moon, due to take place tonight, but it will not be visible in Portland or anywhere else in the United States. Occultation is just an astronomical way of saying eclipse, so no one needs to be alarmed about it. A peculiar thing about this eclipse Is that through if all the red-eyed planet will continue to shine its brightest There will be an occultation all right, or at least the astronomers have It all figured out that way, but no one In fhls part of the world who isn't gifted with occult sight will be able to see It. In other words, speaking astronomically, there will be an occultation. but speaking oc ularly. Mars will not be occulted so fhat you can see It. How can you eclipse that? Anyway, Nautical Expert John Mc Xulty, in charge of the United States Hy drographic Office In fhe Custom-house, has it figured out somewhat like that. Mr. McXulty delved fhrough a heap of big books containing figures about Mars, the Martians if there are any. occulta tlons, eclipses and all that yesterday, and he found that the eclipse will not even be visible in Washington. D. C, whence all this excitement and fuss about if has been issuing. If the planet does occultate it will have to be convicted en tirely on circumstantial evidence. According to the Washington .experts, who do not have to depend upon their eyes, but use their brains and mathemati cal figures to find out about eclipses. Mars will begin to hide its face at 6:42 o'clock this evening. At :39 o'clock, or 57 minutes later, it will again come out from behind the moon. In Washington, of course, the ' time will be three hours later In the day than here. Only in ex treme southern parts of North America will the eclipse be visible. HANLEY TO PAY $500 FINE Stockman Sentenced for Maintaining Illegal Enclosure. A fine of $500 and costs was pro nounced yesterday in the Federal Court against William Hanley, the big stock man of Harney County, who was found guilty by a Jury several weeks ago of maintaining an illegal inclosure of Gov ernment land. The costs in the case, it Is under stood will far exceed the amount of the fine, running the total that Mr. Han ley will be required to pay to between $3500 and $4000. Oral notice of appeal to the United States Circuit Court was given by his attorneys in court yes terday. The pronouncing of sentence In the case had been delayed by the filing of a motion for a new trial, which mo tion was denied yesterday by Judge Wolverton. Mr. Hanley Is the manuer of a big live stock company that acquired the French-Glenn properties. The lands in volved in the action were fenced, it was brought out during the trial, by the former owners, but the jury was ap parently convinced that Mr. Hanley had kept up the fences during his adminis tration. About 65,000 acres were in closed, partly by means of natural bar riers of rimrock and partly by a wire fence. DEATH BLAME IS FIXED MOTORMAX AXD DRIVER HELD RESPONSIBLE: FOR CRASH.

Morse, the father of the present system of the Morse alphabet, will be eulogized when the Western Old-Tlme Telegraphers' Association will hold its reunion at Portland. Saturday, September 25. An effort will be made to commemorate the Morse anniversary by gaining the consent of the com panies to suspend business for five min utes on that day. Telegraphers maintain that Profes sor Morse has never received the rec ognition he deserves from the commercial-world for his achievement in giv ing this continent the fastest code In existence today. A general plan or reorganization has been suggested whereby each city will form a local organization, which In turn will elect delegates to a general convention to be held in different cities. A movement will be inaugurated to es tablish this date on April 27. the natal day of Morse, who was born at Charles ton. Mass., April 27, 1791. There will be an elaborate pro gramme arranged for the occasion, and transportation has been so licited for those desiring to at tend. Many new applications for membership have been sent to Sec retary Craib. of Portland, who expects a successful reunion. It Is thought that many will attend the meeting for the reason that they can also visit the Se attle fair on the same trip. BOWMAN'S MISTAKE. Acknowledges Error at His 5th and Alder-Street Store.

Coroner's Jury Censures Them for Accident Fatal to William Barker, Engraver. Inquest Into the death of William Barker, the young engraver who was killed In the wrecking of a picnic wagon at Commercial and Failing streets last Sunday night, was held yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock by Coroner Norden be fore a Jury of six men. The finding of the Jury, after listening to three hours of testimony, was that the blame for the accident was equally divided between Motorman Clinton and the driver of the wagon, Brant. The testimony tended to show that Driver Brant did not take the precaution to see if a car was approaching. Testi mony also adduced showed that when he had driven part way on the tracks he hesitated and was about to turn to one side to allow the car to pass, when he changed his mind and whipped up the horses and attempted to cross before the car. It was also shown that Motormon Clinton was probably slow in reversing the power and applying the brakes. Deputy District Attorney Hennessy was present and assisted the Coroner In con ducting the inquest. On the evidence shown Motorman Clinton will not be prosecuted for criminal carelessness. The following witnesses were exam ined: William Reld, 567 Qulmby street; Frank Wynn, S23 Michigan avenue; James Gillespie, 793 Michigan avenue; Richard Kruger, 822 Commercial street; Nels Reed. 80S Missouri avenue: Regina CADETS TO PARADE TODAY Salt Lake Militia Will Also Give Free Drill.
