COLLINGE GALLS
WIFE TERMAGANT
Awakened at Night That She
May Enjoy Quarrel, Says
Weary Engineer.
HIS CARESSES DISLIKED
Husband, Seeking Divorce, Declares
He Is Taunted and Sworn at.
Stepmother Accused of Cruelty
to Husband's Children.
W. . G. Colllnge, an engineer for
Schwarzschlld & Sulzburger, has ad
ded his divorce complaint to the list
now awaiting trial in the Circuit Court.
He declares that his wife, Anna Col
llnge, has a most violent temper, which
asserts Itself so persistently that she
will even awaken her husband at night
in order to quarrel with him. He is
continually taunted and sworn at, he
says, so that life with her has become
unendurable. When she flies Into a
rage it is dangerous, he asserts, for him
or anyone else to be near her.
He tells of one occasion when she
bought a bottle of laudanum and car
ried It about in her apron pocket while
preparing supper, drinkig It soon af
terwards In an adjoining room. Colllnge
says only his prompt action in admin
istering an antidote prevented her at
tempt at suicide from being successful.
Colllnge says he has frequently been
told by his wife that his caresses are
distasteful to her, that all she desires
is the money and clothing he furnishes.
Of late she has - refused to live with
him as his wife, he says.
He tells . of her return of February
10 from a trip to Washington lasting
several months. She failed to Inform
him, he says, of her arrival, and pur
chased needless clothing and finery to
the amount of J94.60. Colllnge says his
health has been ruined by his wife's
conduct. He married her April 29, 1907.
Wife Said to Be Cruel Stepmother.
The divorce suit of August H. Johan-
nlngsmeier against Caroline Johan
nlngsmeier, in which he accused his wife
of strangling his 14-year-old daughter,
was among those tried by Judge Bro
naugh yesterday. When Johannlngs
meier was married he had four daugh
ters and a son. On the witness stand
yesterday he said that his wife often
beat his children with sticks, and that
in a fit of anger one day took
his daughter by the hair and forced
her head into a basin of water, holding
It there until the child was uncon
scious from strangulation.
His eight-year-old-son, Henry, was
placed on the witnes stand and when
asked by the attorney if he understood
the nature of an oath, and knew what
would happen to him if he failed to
tell the truth, he replied laconically
that he would "go to hell." He told
of the -way his stepmother treated his
sister, and said further that she "treat-
ed papa awfully mean." She once held
a butcher knife. -in her hand and told
him she would kill him with It if she
did not fear the Judge would send her
to Jail for It. The Johannlngsmelers
were married in Boone County, III.,
February 2, 1J07.
Man Divorced While in Hospital.
Michael Johnson secured a divorce
from Hattie Johnson, the decree being
granted by Judge Bronaugh. They
were married at Vancouver, Wash., in
June, 1902. Johnson declared that he
went to California with his wife for
his health in October, 1903, intending to
return in a short time to Oregon. But
on their way back, in the Spring of
1904, he was compelled to go to the
City and County Hospital at San Fran
Cisco, where he remained until De
cember, 1904. In April, while he was
there, his wife left him.
Julia Pope also secured a divorce.
She said that William Pope, her hus
band, drew a razor upon her, threat
ening to kill her, and that at another
time he gave her a beating. For this
she declared he was convicted in the
Municipal Court. Judge Bronaugh al
lowed her to resume her maiden name.
Nelson. She married Pope In Port
land, March 13, 1906.
Mrs.' Dickerson Seeks Alimony.
R. T. Dickerson, recently tried In th
Circuit Court for the murder of Harry
A. Garrett, is again In court. Martha
E. Dickerson, his ex-wife, filed a pe
tition yesterday morning, asking that
he be declared in contempt for having
violated an Injunction issued by Circuit
Judge Morrow, restraining him from
, selling or mortgaging his property dur
ing the pending of his wife's divorce
suit. The petition asks' also that W.
A. Kirts, S. J. G. Young and G. N.
Barker be declared in contempt for
having participated in the mortgaging
of the horses, wagons and tools used
by Dickerson in his contracting
business. Mrs. Dickerson asks that
the court appoint a competent person to
sell $20S worth of the property that
she may have the money for her im
mediate needs, and that ' this person
manage the business that it may re
turn a profit and she may secure the
alimony ordered by the court, which
she says Dickerson has failed to pay.
Anna Edith Lashbaugh filed a divorce
suit yesterday against George Henry
Lashbaugh. She says she has been
cursed and abused for the last, four
years. Early last month she 'asked
him, she says, if she might pay a visit
to her friend, Gertrude Skoog, at Oak
Park, for a week. He consented, she
says, but in three days called upon
her and told her to take away her per
sonal belongings, that he did not In
tend to live with her any more. He is
often grossly drunk, she asserts. She
married him February 16, 1906.
Its work, during the past two years, ac
cording to L E Rhodes, Oregon-Idaho
secretary of the 1 . M. c. A., who re
turned last night from Sacramento. Mr.
Rhodes attended the 28th annual state
convention, February 24 to 27, at Sacra
mento, and had a prominent part on its
programme.
(Besides its membership gain, Mr.
Rhodes said that the Association had
erected seven new buildings, costing
$535,000, In California during the past two
years. These do not Include the San
Francisco and Oakland buildings, now
under way, which will Involve an ex
penditure of $1,000,000.
"The feature of the California conven
tion was the attendance of men promi
nent in the business world," said Mr.
Rhodes, Sand in this way the conven
tion reflected a condition that is found
everywhere. Several millionaires were
among those who showed by their pres
ence their interest in Y. M. C. A. work.
The convention included reports of com
missioners on the following four impor
tant subjects: "Relation of the Associa
tion to Young Men and Boys in the
Churches," 'Relation of the Association to
the Immigration Problem,' "'Relation of
the Association to Young Men In and
From the Country,' 'Relation of the Asso
ciation to High Schoof Boys.' "
Mr. Rhodes will probably participate
in the dedication next week of the new
Y. M. C. A. building in Eugene. This Is
the finest Association building In Ore
gon, outside of Portland. On his return
he announced that the Potlatch Lumber
Company, of Potlatch, Idaho, has de
cided to erect a Y. M. C. A. building for
its employes. This company is a Weyer
haeuser concern and will put up a $10,000
building.
POLICE SEEK SWINDLER
MAX WHO PASSED AS "PATTEX,
WHEAT KINO," WANTED.
Clever Ruse Works on Unsophisti
cated Who Dabble in Stocks Only
to 1ose Money.
Who and where is James A. Patten,
the alleged "wheat king" whose swindl
ing operations were called to the atten
tion of the police last night?
Through his' bold effrontery and suave
mannerisms the venerable old man is
said to have succeeded in bilking various
persons out" of sums of money on the
pretense of purchasing market stocks at
a profit. The extent of his operations
are unknown. He is believed to have fled
from the city since the announcement
was made Monday through telegraphic
dispatches that James A. Patten, stock
manipulator, whose earnings in that re
gard soar well up in seven figures, was
to retire from active business life.
The alleged "Patten" according to him
self, recently came to Portland from Cali
fornia. He sought out the real estate
office of R. Peterson & Co., 226 Morri
son street, where he made his 'headquar
ters. To the members of the firm and
their customers he posed as "James A.
Patten, the wheat king, incognito." As
a reason for wearing shabby clothes,
"Patten" averred that he was "endeavor
ing to keep away from the newspaper
men so that he might get a little rest."
For several days he quartered In the
real estate offices, conversing and becom
ing acquainted with customers. To these
only did "Patten" confide his "real iden
tity." Each one he approached was will
ing to take a fling at the stock market,
and, at his solicitation, several gave him
money with which to puchase blocks of
marketable stocks on Wall street. From
one unsuspee.ing individual. "Patten"
was seen to take a, "handfull of gold
coins" with which he promised to "put
him on the inside of the stock market.'
Following this transaction, "Patten'
abandoned his haunts In the real estate
office and has not been seen since. Con-r
science-stricken after he had fathomed
the apparent game of "high finance"
foisted upon one of his customers, Peter
son hied himself to police headquarters
and told what he knew of Patten."
A minute description of the man has
been furnished the police.
WALL FALLS: MAN DIES
I IIANIv WALKER, LABORER, IS
CAUGHT BENEATH BRICKS.
TRAMP BURNED WITH TIES
Charred Body Found Beside Rail
road Track Reveals Old Tragedy.
LA GRANDE. Or., March 4. (Special.)
The charred and blackened remains of
an unknown man were today discovered
a few miles north of here beside the rail
road. It is believed the man was a tramp and
that an accident pinioned him under a
pile of old ties, from which he was un
able to extricate himself in time to save
himself when they were burned.
Exceeding' Orders, Workman Is Said
to Have Proceeded Too Far With
Removal of Foundation.
Caught under a falling wall of brick
which he had weakened at the base so as
to permit its demolition, Frank Walker,
a laborer 21 years old, was fatally
crushed at 3 o dock yesterday afternoon
and died while being conveyed to a hos
pital. The accident happened at the cor
ner of Fourth and Alder streets, where
workmen are tearing down old buildings
for a new structure. The Coroner will
hold an inquest today.
From all accounts the tragedy was the
result of the man's failure to follow in
structions given by Foreman West in
charge of the work for the contractor, C.
J. Cook. The wall was 12 feet high and
12 Inches thick. A rope had. been at
tached to the top of the wall and work
men had been trying to pull it over. Fall
ing to accomplish this, orders had been
issued by Foreman West to weaken the
wall by the removal of one brick at the
foundation.
Next to Walker at the base of the wall
was Price Davis. The two were at- work
following out the foreman's orders when
Walker said that he had cut a hole clear
through. "Don't do that," shouted Davis,
"you will weaken the wall too much and
it will fall on us."
He had hardly spoken, when other men
sounded the warning. Several men were
at work with Davis and Walker and all
of them Jumped. All of them cleared It
except Walker. Another step would have
saved his life. The top of the wall struck
him upon the head and felled him to the
ground. A pile of . bricks fell on him,
completely covering, him. His compan
ions had to dig him out. No one else
was hurt. -
Walker was a single man and lived at
the Potter rooming-house, 282H Second
street. He came to Portland from Pen
dleton, Or., his home. He is survived
by his mother and a stepfather, who con
duct a grocery In Pendleton.

FOR BOULEVARD
Terwilliger Roadway Figure Is
Big Surprise to Authorities.
CITY ZOO TO BE REMOVED
Complaint's of Residents in Nob Hill
and .Portland' Heights Districts
Heard Apparatus for Play
grounds Ordered by City.
An outlay of more than $500,000 will
he necessary for the construction work
and payment of claims for property in
the construction of the Terwilliger boule
vard, which Is to he the connecting link
between the parks on the West Side to
the south- end of the city.
This became -known yesterday when the j
final report of the board of appraisers,
of which D. E. Keasy was chairman, was
made to the Park Board.
After hearing the. report, opening bids
for construction work and listening 4o
brief remarks by representatives of the
booster clubB of South Portland and Ful
ton, Mayor Simon announced that the
subject would be taken under considera
tion by the members of the Board.
The figures prove rather a surprise. It
had been hoped the boulevard could be
built for less, including the property to
be appropriated for use and damages to
be paid for other ground partially con
sumed. Only Two Bids Made for Grading.
The Board - received but two bids for
the grading, which is the work to be done
on the proposed boulevard. These were
from Giebisch & Joplin and E. T. John
son. Mr. Johnson did not comply with
the advertisement, as he did not Inclose
a certified check for 10 per cent of the
total amount of his bid. About $30,000
will be the cost of this work. The bids
were referred for tabulation.
Owing to complaints by residents In
the vicinity, the big zoo maintained for
many years in the City Park will be re
moved to a more remote place. Council
man Ellis made a bid for the animals.
He wants them placed in Columbia Park,
on the Peninsula, in the Tenth Ward,
which he represents. Councilman Beld
lng also wants the animals sent to his
district, which comprises a large section
of South Portland and all of Pulton and
the territory south to the city limits.
In any event, no more live animals
of any kind will be bought by the city,
as the sentiment of the Board at this
time Is that there is not acreage enough
properly to care for a zoo In the poses
sion of the city now. It is the plan.
however, ultimately to provide proper
space for a first-class zoo.
A bill of $500 from Olmsted Bros., land
scape architects, for laying out the
boulevard and park system, came as a
surprise to Mayor Simon and the mem
bers of the Board. They had supposed
the services were ended long ago and that'
they had been paid in full.
Olmsted's Services Passed.
He will be paid and his services dis
continued, as the Board does not wish
to continue him In its employ, the scheme
of parking and of laying boulevards hav
ing been completely laid out.
A contract for enough playground ap
paratus to equip two small parks for
children was awarded to A.' G. Spalding
& C. It will be delivered in time for use
this Summer.
It is the purpose of the Mayor and
members of the Board to have several of
these playgrounds for children In opera
tion this season.

Silence!
The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a
great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab
horrent to them, and so they endure in silence a condition
of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.
It has been Dr. Pierce' a privilege to care a
