RICH WOMAN SUED
FOR SI 55 DRESS
Mrs. L. M. Eskridge, of St.
Louis, Refuses to Pay
Till Ready.
SOUTHERNER SHOWS FIGHT
Portland Tailor Even Says Outfit Is
Worth $300 and So He Brings
Suit Against Defendant, Who
Owns Mine and Much Land.
Papers in a suit for Jlco, alleged to be
duo on a dress, were served Monday upon
Mns. L. M. Eskridge. who Is staying at
the Portland Hotel, by A. R. Allison,
manager of the London Tailors, with
offices in the "Wells-Fargo building. Be
hind this move are hidden two somewhat
different but interesting stories.
The dress in question is described by
Mr. Allison as being "a princess gown
with a, military cloak, cut from blue Venl
tian cloth, outlined with gold braid and
braes buttons, and elaborately trimmed
with black tubular silk braid, and lined
throughout with old-rose gold silk, and
paslly worth $200." Mr. Allison declares
that the design of the dress is based upon
the latest Parisan models, and that the
gown cannot be duplicated in the North
west. , ,
Tailor Cuts Prices.
"I made a cut in the price." declared
Mr. Allison, '"because Mrs. Esktidge did
not desire a drop skirt to go with the
costume, she preferring to wear bloomers
nd silk tights. The dress was ordered
Oetobr12, and he paid a $10 deposit.
Bince the dress was completed she has
refused to accept it. and so I have
brought su(t- This woman is a mining
broker. Tf she didn't want to pay that
price, why didn't she go to some cheaper
tailor?"
Mrs. TSfkridge. seen at the Portland, ad
mitted that the suit had been filed. That,
however, was as far as her story agreed
with Mr. Allison's.
,"I am a business woman." she said,
"and T make it a point never to put
anything down in writing. T went to
this Allison to order a 'suit, and he said
he would "be glad to make - it. I told
htm I would pay him on a certain date,
end left a deposit with him. However, he
rushed work on the gown, and when I
told him. I was In no hurry to have it
finifched. ' he said the tailor that was
making it was going to California on a
vacation, and that he wanted to get his
work done.
"He sent the dress to me. and I sent it
back, and told him I did not want it until
the time I had specified, when I would be
ready to pay for it. Then I put the
matter in the hands of my attorney,
and asked Mr. Allison please to com
municate further with him, as I did not
like to be bothered with disagreeable
details. This made him angry, and he
brought suit. But all the suits in the
world will not make me pay for that
drees before the time I agreed with htra
to pay it."
AVoman Owns Oregon Mine.
Asked as to her mining ventures, Mrs.
Eskridge brightened up perceptibly. "I
own an Oregon mine." she said. "I own
the mine, not the stock, and it. pays me
stood dividends. I am a -Southern wo
man, also, and I am a born fighter, and
no tailor is going to get ahead of me.
My home is in St. I-ouis, but I prefer
to be In Portland just at present, to be
near my two sons, who are at the Hill
Military Academy. Incidentally. T do a
little trading in real estate you had a
story in The Oregonian yesterday about
some 27,000 acres of wheat lands that
I picked up. Do you suppose I could have
done that if I could not pay this bill? -
"As to whether I will accept the
garment now or not. I will tell about
that a week from today, when this suit
will be heard in court. But I do not think
Mr. Allison has done a wise thing in
suing me: I think he will find out that a
lone woman in this world can make a
pretty good tight. He thinks just because
I am staying at the Portland "Hotel he
can pile On the price well, we shall see."
And Mra. Eskridge compressed her
lips, and withdrew in dignified silence
into a fuzzy black and gold creation that
she was wearing.

VALUABLE PAINTINGS BURN
Fire in Steamboat Captain's Home
Causes Ioss of Thousands.
For nearly two hours yesterday
morning, commencing at 2:30 o'clock,
firemen fought a blaze in the flat of
Captain Fred H., Sherman, of the
steamboat Bailey Gatzert., 573 East
Main street, which was finally subdued
after a collection of paintings valued
at several thousand dollars had been
destroyed.
The fire originated in the cellar
through a defective furnace. The flames
ate their way up into the building in
the walls and before they were put out
virtually all of the ceilings and walls
in -the house were so badly damaged
that they will have to be replaced. The
damage tc the building is estimated
at $2o00. damage to furniture about
$2000, and the paintings at more than
all other damage combined. A. Denag
nor., who occupied the upper flat in the
building, suffered half of the loss in
furniture.

$15,375 DAMAGES ASKED
G. A. Velir and Wife Sue J. C. Elrod
and J. T. Peters for Alleged Con
spiracy In Transfer or
Room ins-House.
Alleging a conspiracy on the part of
J. O. Elrod, Joseph T. Peters. John Doe
Wagner, S. A. Reed and L. J. Wilde to
defraud him of his rooming-house
property by foisting upon him worthless
bonds of the Independent Telephone
Company, of Omaha, Neb., Gerhard A.
Vehr has brought suit in the Circuit
Court to recover $15,375 damages. Elrod
and Peters . are named as defendants,
and Vehr makes his wife, Augusta S.
Vehr. a party plaintiff-. Vehr's property
was located at Tenth and - Harrison
streets. He says he was making -a net
profit of $S30 a month.
On December 31, 1908, he was induced
to deed over the property, he says, re
ceiving bonds worth $20,500 at par, which,
he avers, he was told were then worth
$15,375 and would draw 5 per cent in
terest. He valued his property at $34,000.
and to cover the balance of the purchase
price the defendants were to pay a mort
gage of $17,000. Vehr charges that the
telephone company was insolvent at the
time he was given the bonds, and that
it has been so ever since. When he en
deavored to collect his 5 per cent on
the coupons, he says, payment was re
fused. John F. Logan and f N. Smith
are Vehr's attorneys.
RAT ELLIOT APPEAL WAITS
Circuit Court Judge Gatcns Hears
Motion to rismis.
Circuit Judge Gatens took under ad
visement yesterday afternoon the mo
tion of the City Attorney to dismiss
the appeal from the Municipal Court of
the Ray Elliot case, in which the latter
was sentenced by Judge Bennett to
Kelly Butte for accepting the eaj-riings
of a woman of ill-repute. The motion
to dismiss the appeal is on the ground
that, the Circuit Court has no jurisdic
tion of the case.
Elliott contended that, assuming the
contention of Deputy City Attorneys
Sullivan and Tomlinson to be true, they
waived the entering of such a motion
by submitting to the jurisdiction of the
Circuit Court, and asking the case to
be reset from time to time. An appear
ance in court having been made, he
contended the authority of the court
could not be questioned.
If Judge Gatens dismisses' the ap
peal the case will go to the Municipal
Court again, and Elliot will be obliged
to serve his term, unles he should de
sire to appeal to the State Supreme
Court. If the City Attorney's motion is
acted upon favorably Judge Gatens
will be obliged to set aside a previous
order which he made in open court,
upon what he said was motion of the
City Attorney, dismissing the case, dis
charging Elliot from custody and ex
onerating the bondsmen. '
4 4 PRISOXERS ARE PAROLED
Probation Officer Says Five of Tvro
Score Have Broken Promises.
Chief Probation Officer Teuscher. who
is a1 member of the Oregon Prisoners'
Aid Association, says that since Sep
tember, 1908. 44 prisoners have been
paroled, of whom five have broken parole
and two have committed subsequent of
fenses. Five have been honorably discharged
and 32 are still on parole, MY. Teuscher
cites that men without family or prop
erty, -sometimes termed "floaters." are
most likely to break parole. '
He suggests that such be required to
give a small bond, and believes all pa
roled prisoners should be photographed.
He also thinks a small fund should be
provided for through the regular chan
nels, with which to assist such men. in
the discretion of the court or probation
officer when serious difficulties are en
countered. In support of this belief he
narrates that one man, still on parols
who had conducted himself creditablv'
sought a night's lodging at the home or
a fellow church-member In St. John,
was turned out. and walked to Portland
during the night, reporting to Mr. Teus
cher in the morning.
PATTOX HOME GETS IX COURT
David Louth Declares Property Deed
Gave Xo Consideration.
David Louth lays claim to property
owned by the Patton Home for the Aged
and Friendless, and has filed in the Cir
cuit Court a suit to clear his title. Lot 1.
in block 94, Stephens' Addition, is the
property in question. He alleges that
Mrs. Rebecca. Ferrer, his widowed moth
er. 'executed a deed- to the property in
favor of the home, but that she placed it
in the hands, of her agent, never releas
ing Its control. The deed was executed
September 6, 1307. She died October 26.
this year. After her death the deed was
recorded, according to Louth, without his
knowledge.
He has filed another euit, against Carl
Goldenberg. which is identical in all par
ticulars with the Patton suit, except that
the property Involved consists of two
lots, 5 and 6. in block 119.. Stephens' Addi
tion. Both the Patton deed and the Gol
denberg deed, he says, were executed
without consideration.
SUIT AGAINST DEVLIN FAILS
His Demurrer Against Bank, of
i.
Drain's Complaint Is Upheld.
The Bank of Drain's complaint against
Thomas C. Devlin individually, and as
receiver of the Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank, was declared invalid by Presid
ing Circuit Judge Bronaugh yesterday
afternoon, the demurrer of Attorney A.
E. Clark, representing Devlin, being sus
tained. The Drain bank demanded $750
damages, alleging that amount was ex
pended In securing $9800 worth of Tacoma
Home Telephone bonds and $4900 worth
of stock, which fhe Drain bank had
placed in care of the Oregon Trust Bank,
and which Devlin reported as either lost
or stolen.
The court decided that Devlin could
not be held individually liable, but that
as receiver he held the bonds of "gratui
tous bailee," and that he could be held
liable only for gross negligence, which the
complaint did not charge.
GIRLS, SNOWBALLED, MISSING
Boy Arrested by Detective Day Can't
Find Witnesses.
Harry Adler, the newsboy said to
have been assaulted by Detective Joe
Day last Thursday because he threw
snowballs at two young women, is
confronted with the probability of go
ing to court next Friday without wit
nesses. Young Adler has been unable to lo
cate the two girls, and search by Chief
Probation Officer Teuscher, of the
Juvenile Court, has been futile. Juven-V
lie Judge Bronaugh will hear the case.
Chinaman Fails to Fight Ball,
Although word was given to Deputy
County Clerk Bush yesterday morning
that Sam Boue, a Chinaman accused
of assault and battery, would ask Cir
cuit Judge Gantenhein to set aside his

put in an appearance. His bail was
$100 cash. ,

WATER USERS COMPLAIN
WHOLESALE RATE IS ASKED;
BOARD WILL CONSIDER.
No More Bids for Paving to Be Re
'.. quested Until After Spe,
cial 'Election.
A reduction in the water rate is
strongly requested by many of the larger
establishments of Portland, who made
their desires known at a meeting of the
Water Board yesterday afternoon. M. S.
Dickinson, manager of the Hotel Oregon,
acted as-spokesman, and set forth that,
while his own and other big plants use
many titnes the amount of water that
smaller places do. they receive no consid
eration in the prices fixed.
Representatives - were present also
from the North Pacific Terminal Com
pany, the. Troy laundry and the Crystal
Ice Company, all of which . consume
large quantities of water. The bill of
the Terminal Company, for example, is
$00 a month on the average, at meter
rates. It is urged on behalf of these cus
tomers that they should receive a spe
cial rate, inasmuch as it requires1 no more
time and attention from the board's em
ployes to inspect and read the meter
than It does an ordinary house. Mayor
Simon stated that the members of the
board -will give the subject consideration
soon, when making up the rates for noxt
year.
Mayor Simon and members of the board
were surprised when Superintendent
Dodge read a letter from J. F. King,
who conducts a pool room on Twenty
third, near Savier street. He demanded
a meter, and said he Would refuse to
pay any more bills unless one is installed.
Superintendent Dodge was instructed to
inform King that a meter will be In
stalled in his place of business as soon
as possible. In the meantime, if he re
fuses to pay. the water will be shut off.
The Montague-O'Reilly Company-put in
a bill for $88. alleged to be due for extra
work on Hoyt street. Their communica
tion stated that the cdmpanv had been
prevented from laying the Belgian blocks,
for which they had the contract, by the
orders of the City Auditor and the Mayor,
because a water niain had to be installed
ahead of the improvement. The consider
ation of the bill was deferred.
Owing to the fact that a special elec
tion is to be held Tuesday. February 15,
for the purpose of changing "the law rela
tive to laying water mains, the board
decided to cease advertising for bids.
ARNAUDT GETS REPULSE
NO OTHER LIQUOR LICENSE IS
DENIED BY COMMITTTEE.
Time at Regular Session Found Too
Short to Handle 418 Applications
and Special One Is to Be Held.
Applications to sell liduor, worth $S0O
each, were taken up for consideration of
ine liquor licence committee of the City
Council to the number of 418 yesterday
afternoon. Not all were passed upon
finally, as it will require another special
session to finish the work. This will b
held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Tony Arnaudt. said by Councilman
Devlijj to be anotorious divekeeper, was
the only . unsuccessful applicant. Martin
Denny Is indorsed for a saloon license,
but he will probably not get a restaurant
liquor permit. M. Margullls, of 228-30
'Bujrn6ide street, a. bottle house, will be
further investigated.
Tony Arnaudf's application for a - li
cense to run a. saloon at Fourth and
Davis streets, was the first one of the
1S to be considered. When Chairman
Wallace drew it forth from the large
bunch handed to him by License, Inspector
Hutchinson, and it was read. Councilman
Devlin at once expressed Ills disapproval
of it.x
"Tony Arnaudt is the tonleef low char
acter who has lived in Portland for 15
years, but he Is not tony enough to get a
license by my vote,'.' commented Mr. Dev
lin. "I will not as much as consider his
application."
"Oh, yes." added Councilman Watkins.
"Arnaudt used to run that dive at Fourth
and Davis streets.- I would never, vote
him a license."
Councilman Cellars moved that the li
cense be not granted, and all of the mem
bers of the committee who were present
voted favorably; so, unless the commit
tee is reversed by the Council, Arnaudt
will get no license.
There will be no particular fizfit in the

LIEDER SINGER ENTHUSES
Wullner's Programme Runs Gamut
of Human Emotions.
Wullner, the emotional lieder singer,
will present a programme of extraor
dinary interest tonight at the Masonic
Temple. West Park -and Tamhill streets,
where he. will sing under the direction of
Lois Steers-Wynn Cpman. Song-poems by
Schubert. Brahms. Hugo Wolf. Richard
Strauss, and Schumann will be sung. Con
cerning some of these songs to be given
here the San Francisco Chronicle of No
vember 24 said:
"After a bow to the hearty applause
which greeted him he was at once in the
emotional world, into which he was to
lead his hearers. In an instant he sug
gested in bodily posture, and facial ex
pression the utter desolation of Schu
bert's 'Wanderer.' And how he sang
It! With equal eloquence, words and
music under the Wullner spell rang out
the same sad cry of the homeless one.
The audience was convinced at once and
applauded warmly, but it was not until
after the intense portrayal of the 'Brl
klng' that Wullner aroused them to the
enthusiasm that grew and grew until It
became an ovation."
In lighter emotions Wullner Is as en
trancing as he is in the more tragic
works of genius.
