SPECKART CASE
IN A BIG TANGLE
Fight for Large Estate Is In
volved in Many Com
plications. LAWYERS SUE FOR FEES
Young Heiress Has Trouble With
Counsel Story or L.egal Struggle
for Possession of Estate of
Wealthy Butte Brewer.
Xow that . M1ss Harriot Frances
Speckart. of Portland, haa been awarded
.' i J119.500 from the , estate of her father.
I Adolph Bpeckart. at one time a wealthy
; brewer of Butte, Mont., she has become
' the defendant In some complicated suits
I brought against her by attorneys, each
; of -whom wants a share of her fortune
' for legal services.
, The latest move In this legal game.
which has become a topic of unusual tn
: terest anion; the leading attorneys of
Oregon and Washinsrton, was the dls
f missal yesterday of a suit brought by
1 Miss Speckart to prevent the payment of
115,000 to E. E. Heckbert. of this city,
I one of her various attorneys.
No fewer than eight of the more proml
. nent attorneys of the two states have
, become directly Involved in the Speckart
! contest, and It is understood that a num
k ber of others are Indirectly interested In
the affair. Five of these were hired by
! Miss Spckart. and the other three were
' employed to oppose her claims for the
share of the estate.
Implicated in the affair in a mysterl
' ous manner is also Dr. Marie Equi. who
,' .has been accused by Miss Spcckarfs
i mother of having a strong influence over
' her daughter, causing her to become es
I tranced from her family, the Inference
' being that the doctor Is a sort of female
; Svengali. and. Miss Speckart a helpless
Trilby subjected to her will.
Funds Were Invested.
When Adolph Speckart died he left,
besides a widow, a son, Josey by name,
and the daughter, who is now suing for
her share of the estate. The brewery in
Butte was turned into cash, and the lat
ter was turned over for Investment to
' Leonold Schmidt, whose wife Is a sister
of Mrs. Speckart. Through the invest
ments of Schmidt, who Is a leading
brewer of Olympia. Wash., the fortune
was wonderfully increased.
Mrs. Speckart came to Portland a few
years ago. and while living at the Hill
Apartment-house, her daughter became
acquainted with Dr. Equi. who took an
active part three years ago in the do
mestic troubles of the Speckart family,
which resulted In Harriet leaving her
mother and taking rooms elsewhere.
After her daughter left her, Mrs.
Speckart returned to Olympia, threaten
ing to have a guardian appoints to care
for her daughter, whom she declared was
in the power of-Or. Equi.
Whatever foundation Mrs. Speckart had
for her charged against Dr. Equi, it was
certain that the latter took It upon her
self to attempt to get by force several
letters from Mrs. Speckart. that Harriet
claimed to be her personal property. This
attempt involved a scene In Mrs. Speck
art's apartments, which was later de
scribed In the newspapers.
Instead of Mrs. Speckart bring able to
get a guardian for her daughter, she
found the latter to be a rather active
contestant for one-third of the family
estate.
The first attorney hired by Miss Speck
art was C. M. Idleman. of Portland, who
is now suing her in the courts of Wash
ington for his fees, none of which, he
' claims, has ever been paid him.
Attorneys Demand Fees.
The second attorney employed by
Miss Speckart to fight her case was
Chester V. Dolph. of this city, who
brought suit against her last week In
this city for (3116.50, which he claimed
to be due for legal services.
E. E. Heckbert, of Portland, and J.
V W. Robinson, of Olympia. were hired
vby Miss Speckart two years ago, and
their efforts to retain their fees from
money paid to them for her have pro
duced some of the later complications
of the case.
Through the advice of other attor
neys, Heckbert, who has been devoting
much time to the case, withheld $15,000
from a partial payment of $56,000 made
to him as a result of the contest for
Miss Speckart. and Robinson, for serv
ices he claimed to have rendered, with
held $.500 from the same fund.
, While Heckbert declined to make a
i statement last night, it was learned
. from some of his friends that he had
' been Induced to withhold his fee after
it had been pointed out to him that
Idleman and Dolph had failed to get
pay for their services.
Miss Speckart resented Heckbert's
action and hired W. D. Fenton to bring
a legal action against him for the
money. Accordingly Fenton had Heck
bert's bank account attached, but for
some reason not yet made clear this
action was withdrawn yesterday by
Fenton.
Xew Suit Is Begun.
While dropping her case against
Heckbert In Portland. Miss Speckart
has started a new attack on him by
filing a petition with the United States
Court in Seattle, asking that Heckbert
be mado to pay her the money retained.
The $119,000 awarded to Miss Speckart
Is only a part of what she expects to
get. and was simply allowed by the
court in order to allow her to have
money to live on until the case is
finally settled. Her claim is for $371,
- 248.98.
Miss Speckart's claim is being con
tested by her mother, the Olympia
Brewing Company and Leopold Schmidt.
The attorneys representing the latter
are Martin L. Pipes, of Portland: George
Isreal, of Olympia, and James B. Howe,
of Seattle.
Accompanied by Dr. Equi, Miss
Speckart is now making a visit to
Tacoma. Money she had deposited
with the First National Bank of this
city and the Portland Trust Company
has been attached by Attorney Dolph.
At one time she had some of this de
posited in the name of Dr. Equi, as
trustee, but she has withdrawn It and
placed it again In her own name.
CHURCH CALLS DR. PARSONS
Beaver FaHo, Pa., Man Asked to Fill
Rev. A. J. Montgomery's Place.
At the congregational meeting of the
Third Presbyterian Church last night. It
was unanimously voted to call Rev. Wil
liam Parsons, D. D., of Beaver Falls, Pa.,
to become the pastor of the Third Church,
to succeed Rev. Andrew J. Montgomery,
resigned. The meeting was called to
order by Rev. Mr. Montgomery. E. C.
i " I . . . t I v a n riTTir-n ttttit rTiTCTXm T? A TV
Herlow. secretary of the committee ap
pointed to recommend a pastor, read the
report of the committee, which suggested
the name of Rev. Mr. Parsons as a suit
able successor to Rev. Mr. Montgomery.
Following the reading of the report,
each member of the committee gave his
reasons for recommending the selection
of Rev. Mr. Parsons to the considera
tion of the congregation. Rev. Mr. Mont
gomery said that Rev. Mr. Parsons was
considered one of the ablest Presbyterian
ministers in the country. E. C. Herlow,
M. Steel and Wilson - Beneflel were In
structed to notify Rev. Mr. Parsons of
the call.
Rev. Mr. Parsons spent four months,
in the early part of the year, acting as
pastor of the Hawthorne Park Presby
terian Church during the absence of Rev.
E. Nelson Allen, and made a very favor
able impression. He is National lecturer
before colleges and Chautauquas through
out the Eastern states. An effort was
made to secure him as assistant pastor
of the First Church of Portland, which
he declined. It is believed that he will
accept this call and come to Portland.
CASE MAY TAKE WEEKS
EARLY DECISION XOT EXPECT.
ED IX RATE SCIT.
Court Will Take "o Action Until
Return of W. W. Cotton, and J.
X. Teal, Counsel Involved.
Action in the distributive rate case of
the O. R. & N. Co. and the Oregon Rail
way Commission ha9 been held in abey
onoe by Federal Judge Wolverton until
the return to the city of J. N. Teal and
W. W. Cotton, attorneys in the suit. It
Is anticipated that it will be several
weeks before a decision will have been
reached as to whether or not the new or
old rates will prevail. It Is prophesied,
however, that the O. R. & N. Co. will
enter additional pleas and appeal the
case If it loses.
A reductioa equal to 14 per cent of the
old rate on freight sent from Portland to
Eastern Oregon and to destinations be
yond The Dalles was ordered by the
Commiesion. An indemnity bond for
$.")0.000 was filed by the railroad upon the
introduction of the case into the Federal
Courts. This stop was taken to protect
shippers for differences In rates that
might arise from the decision of the court
in the event of ultimate defeat of the
railrnd. Should an appeal be made to
higher courts by the railroad company,
an additional bond will necessarily be
filed.
The final decision of the court is Im
portant to local shippers and Is awaited
anxiously by them.
ENJOY TRIP UP RIVER
FUNERAL DIRECTORS FEAST OX
SALMON.
Sessions Will Continue Today and
Tomorrow Special Entertain
ment for Women.
Enthused with the pleasures of the day,
the delegates to the National Funeral Di
rectors' Association returned last night
from a steamboat trip to Collins Hot
Springs, where they had been treated to
an excellent salmon dinner, and in the
lobbies of the Oregon Hotel they spent
the evening In discussing the beauties af
forded by the Willamette and Columbia
rivers.
The delegates and their wives who made
the trip yesterday numbered 341. They
left the city a little past 8 o'clock In the
morning and returned about 12 hours
later. The weather was balmy and added
to the pleasures of the occasion;
This morning's session of the convention
will be taken up almost entirely by the
reading of reports of committees. This
afternoon's session will include in its pro
gramme two addresses, one of which will
be by the Rev. Benjamin Young, pastor
of the Taylor-Street Methodist Church.
The subject has not been announced. The
other address will be on "Legitimate
Competition." by George W. Hunt, of
San Francisco.
A part of the session this afternoon will
be devoted to the reading of reports from
the various state associations, all of
which are affiliated with the National
organization. The day's session will end
with attention to miscellaneous business.
.After a business session tomorrow
morning, when new officers will be
elected and installed, the convention will
adjourn, and the afternoon will be de
voted to seeing the city. The larger num
ber of the Eastern delegates will leave on
a special train tomorrow night for Cali

While the delegates are completing the
last session of the convention tomorrow
morning, 1 their wives will be conducted
about the shopping district of the city
by members of the reception committee. ,
ine entertainment or tne delegates and
their wives is being done under the com
bined auspices of the Oregon and Wash
ington State Funeral Directors' Associa
tion. ATTACH THEATER RECEIPTS
McRae Stock Company at Star Sued
, for Costumers' Bill-
Box office receipts for Inst night at the
Star Theater, where, the H. S. McRae
Company Is presenting the "Cowboy and
the Lady." were attached after the play
began to satisfy a debt of a little more
than $1000. which the Seattle Costumes
Company claims to be due it for goods
furnished.
The claim of the Seattle company is
that the H. S. McRae Company had
rented the costumes which were burned
later at Tacoma, and had not paid for
them. The case was put In the hands of
John H. Stevenson and John F. Logan,
local attorneys, for collection. About
$90 was obtained by Deputy Sheriff Hol
lingsworth, who made the attachment
last night. The attachment did not stop
the performance. .
McCuIley la Seeking Bondsmen.
Johnston McCuIley, a theatrical press
agent, held in the County Jail, charged
by the county grand Jury with an offense
against 16-year-old Lena Boyd, expects
to raise his $3000 bail and secure his lib
erty in time to see President Taft tomor
row. McCuIley said last night that he
has five or six men in view, two of whom,
he thinks, will sign his bond. But he Re
fused to give any names. He expected to
secure bondsmen last Monday, but failed.
He has entered a plea of not guilty before-Presiding
Circuit Judge Bronaugh,
but his case has not yet been set for
trial. William Churchill Is accused ofa
similar offense against the same girl at
the same time.
At the close of a lengthened and bitter
wranjcle between a Jude and a prominent
counsel, the former said: "Well, sir. if you
do not know how to conduct yourself as
a gentleman I am sure. I can't teach
you." To which the barrister mlldlv re
plied: "That la ao. my lord!"
Why, Where and When to Buy
Portland Real Estate
, WHY TO BUY
Portland real estate is lower in price tois.? tfcaa it is in nny ether city on the Pacific.
Coast, notwithstanding the fact tLst this is :he great commercial center of the North
west, and that no other city has such advantages of location and such undeveloped re
sources behind it to make it grow. The prices of Portland property do not correspond
with its values, and there must be an adjustment very soon, by which prices will be ad
vanced to the real values. There will never be a time when prices are as low as they
are now. For that reason, everybody who can do eo should buy Portland property now.
WHERE TO BUY
The best place to buy is in the high-class residence districts, where prices have not
been placed too high in such a place, for example, as
TherAdditiomwith Character
LAURELHURST is a new and beautiful residence park, that will be made a most
delightful place to live in. The building restrictions insure high-class homes of cultured
and refined people, and the exclusion of everything of an objectionable nature. The
streets will all be improved as soon as possible and will be completed within a few
months. The improvements will include asphalt pavements, concrete sidewalks, sew
ers, water and gas mains, and street lights. This work has all been ordered by the
City Council.
LAURELU U EST is close in less than two miles from the heart of the business
district of Portland and can be reached in 15 minutes by three carlines, two of which
pass through it. It has many advantages that can be seen by paying it a visit, and that
would be a wise thing to do if you wish to own your own home or make a profitable
investment. ' ,
WHEN TO BUY
The best time to buy property in a high-class, close-in residence district, such as
LAURELHURST, is at the time it is first placed on the market, because the prices
are lower then than they ever will be again. The prices in LAURELHURST are really
just about one-half the real value of the property at this time, and they will advance
very rapidly in the near future.
The prices of lots range from $750 to $1500. The terras of payment are easy,, and
we can assist you financially if you desire to build at once.
We are offering; SPECIAL INDUCEMENTS to those who purchase now; also to
those who build this year.
To visit LAURELHURST, take either the Montavilla or the Rose City Park earline.
Both lines run through the property.

Till TO CUT TIME
Portland-Chicago Schedule Is
Clipped 12 Hours.
MAIL CONTRACT IS MOTIVE
O'Brien Announces New Service on
Harrinian Lines to Begin Early
This Month Strong: Com
petition Exists.
. Not later than October 10. the Harrl
roan ' lines will Install' an exclusive
mail train between Chicago and Port
land, which will make the" run In 60
or 62 hours. This will clip from 10 to
12 hours off the present schedule of
the mall service between the two cities
over the Harrlman system. This sav
ing In time will be effected between
the Union Pacific Junction at Green
River and Portland.
General Manager O'Brien announced
yesterday that this service would be
Inaugurated probably between October
6 and 10. although the exact date, to
gether with the schedule under which
the train will be operated, has not
been arranged. This action on the
part of the Harrlman Interests is an
other development in keen rivalry be
tween the transcontinental railroads
in providing time-reducing ser-ice
from the East to the Pacific Coast,
preliminary to bidding for the Gov
ernment contract for handling the
mails.
It was only Wednesday morning that
the Great Northern's initial new 60
hour mail train from St Paul reached
Seattle at 5:28 o'clock, 32 minutes
ahead of its schedule, and proceeded
to Tacoma. This train will be oper
ated dally. It is the fastest long-distance
mail train in the world; and re
duces the time between S,t. Paul and
Seattle 11 hours.
NEW OWNERS TO COME HERE
Purchasers of United Railways Will
Inspect Property.
A. C. Emmons, who returned yesterday
from Seattle, declined further to discuss
the recent purchase of the United Rail
ways property in this county by J. H.
Hulbert, a capitalist of Fontanelle, la.,
and V. T. Dunbar, capitalist ami timber
man of Vancouver. B. C. In the negotia
tions attending the transfer of this prop
erty, which were carried on at Seattle,
Mr. Emmons represented the former
owners of tho railway company.
"I think the papers have recorded
everything that is to be said regarding
the purchase of this property by Messrs.
Hulbert and Dunbar," said Mr. Emmons
yesterday. "As to what the plans of the
new owners are, I am not authorized to

say. They -will visit Portland the first

selves." Portland Girls Appear
in Recital.
Mlsa Mand Dammiirh, Soprano, and
Minm Maud Dell, IManist, Please
Lerge Audience.
TWO Portland girls Miss Maud Dara
masch and Miss Maud Bell not only
honored themselves, but gave pleasure t(;
a large circle of friends in a concert in
which they participated last night at the
Arlon Hall. Both girls were born, reared
and educated in this city, and they gave
an excellent musical programme before
the critical yet kindly audience mostly
of German people who watched the ren
dition of every number with warm inter
est. Miss Dammasch, tail and stately. Is a
mezzo-soprano singer, but a mezzo
soprano who is very near a contralto.
Many singers possessing the velvety, lus
cious, thick quality of Miss Dammaseh's
vocallsm would call themselves contral
tos, and the fact that Miss Dammasch
says she is a mezzo, speaks well for her
musical Ideals. She returned recently to
her home in this city from Dresden, Ger
many, where she was a pupil for about
two years with the celebrated voice
teacher, Leo Sparks, and her art does him
credit.
Miss Dammaseh's singing is easy and
natural; she never strives for effect, and
her breathing is good. Her voice has also
an enviable dramatic quality, and this
was seen in her fine renditions of the
aria from Saint Saens' "Samson and
Delila." and Schubert's "Erlkonlg." She
was recalled several times and was re
warded with so many floral bouquets
that the stage looked like a small flower
garden.
Miss Bell, who Is a schoolmate friend
of Miss Dammasch, played piano num
bers from Brahms, Schumann, Chopin and
Liszt, and showed commendable tech
nique and artistic appreciation of tonal
effects. The piano accompanist was
Arthur Von Jessen, who played well.
NEWTOWN PIPPINS IN TEST
One Thousand Trees to Be Planted

EUGENE, Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) One
thousand yellow Newtown pippin trees
will be set out about three and a half
miles west of Eugene In the open valley

supervision of J. M. Morris, of Eugene.
The tract of land has been chosen by
experts and is removed from any
orchards that may have pepts. As soon
as the trees planted this 'Fall are well
started another 1000 will be added.
Roosevelt's Return Delayed.
NAIROBI, B. E. A. .'Sept. 30. Colonel
Roosevelt, who was expected to arrive
here October 15 from his hunting trip in
the Mweru district, will probably not
come In until October 23. .
The delay is caused by the indisposition
of Edmund Heller, the zoologist of the
expedition, who Is suffering slightly from
the pressure of work.
ERECT NEW BOIL
GAMBR1XUS BREWERY PLAXS
SEVEX-STORY STRUCTURE.
Will Be Used as Refrigerating Plant
and Stockhouse Estimate Cost
Is $50,000 Goes Up at Once.
Plans have been completed and work
will be started at once for the erection
of a seven-story steel and brick building
for the Gambrinus Brewing Company on
Cornell street, between Washington and
Flanders streets, just west of the present
site. The structure will be finished with
in the next four months and will cost
50,000 in addition to the installation of
the machinery, which will bring the fig
ure much above this total.
The building will be 49x35 feet In size
and will be used as a refrigerating plant
and stock house. It will be located in the
side of the hill and on this account a
considerable portion of the hill will have
to be excavated before actual building
work can begin. The upper three floors
of the building will be used as cooling
rooms. The four lower floors will be used
as stock rooms for keeping the aging
beer and some of the beer which has been
made ready for placing in kegs and
bottling.
A large refrigeratlngplant will be in
stalled in the building so as to keep the
temperature as desired at any season of
the year. This plant will -be in the base
ment of the new structure.
The plans were drawn by Architect
Bartell, of Chicago, who makes a spe
cialty of this class of buildings. The con
tract for the superstructure was taken
by William Voetz at $50,000. Work will
start Immediately. The building permit
has already been issued.
The diamond Industry Is very limited, and
is carried on in Southern India, the northern
part of the Indian Peninsula, and in the
Central Provinces.
