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

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

Even Washington, Where Hullaba
loo About Planet Started, Will
Miss the Slp-ht.
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.

KEYMEN WANT MORSE DAY
Telegraphers to Hold Reunion Here
September 2 5 to Honor Inventor.
Samuel M. 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.
In his ad today, on page 11, Mr. Bow
man proprietor of the J. L. Bowman &
Co.'s new clothing store, corner Fifth
and Alder streets, tells secrets of the
clothing business that are worth read
ing. Mistakes are sometimes made In
the best of regulated families, but the
man who owns up and starts over again
on the right foot is the man who usually
gets there.
The offer to sell any Suit In the store
for only $15 will be good news to clothing
buyers.
Parade and Exhibition Drill.
The Salt Lake High School Cadets on
their return will parade and give an ex
hibition drill on Multnomah Field tomor
row -afternoon. The battalion, 250 strong,
will leave the Union Depot at 2:30 P. M

Invited to attend.
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
