SET FOREST FIRE; ADMITS Hearing of Secret ' Indictment Against Him, Cnrry County Resl ' dent Hurries to . Surrender. Doesn't "Wait on Officials. Traveling 127 miles on foot from his wooded homestead in Currx County, in ' the southwestern corner of Oregon to Grants Pass, where he was able to se cure railroad transportation, Edward O. ' Gardner yesterday surrendered in the Vnlted States Court to answer the ! charge of having wilfully set out a forest fir In August of last year. Ragged and footsore, his face gaunt, wrinkled and brown from exposure to the weather, Mr. Gardner appeared In com pany with his attorney, C. M. Idleman. There had been no expensive expeditions ; from the office of the United States I Marshal In search of the lonely habita tion where dwelt the man who was for ' the second time attempting to secure a : foothold on the gTeat haJf-heznlsphefS governed by the Stars and Stripes. Along the underground wire by which news travels In the backwoods. Ed Gardner became aware of the fact that 'he was wanted by the Government, and he came. Homesteader Says Not Guilty. As he appeared In court. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Evans appeared throujrh another door, the arraignment was held and Homesteader Gardner pleaded not guilty to having caused the destruction of a largo part of the Siskiyou National Forest by a fire which is alleged to have been wilfully set by him. Looking at the hardy pioneer of the woods, and in response to the suggestion of" the office of the District Attorney, Judge Bean ordered that Gardner be re leased upon his own recognizance. "I don't want to talk about the case now," said Mr. Gardner. "'I was ad vised by one of my friends that the grand Jury had returned a secret indictment against me, and I came here as soon as possible. There -was a fire in that dis trict in August of last year for which I was responsible. "It happened this way: I was up in the woods and was smoking. When the pipe was apparently empty I knocked it out against the heel of my shoe, and went on about my business. Xot Single Tree Killed. "Later a fire broke out and burned the undergrowth over an area of three acres. It did not kill a. single tree. When I heard through some of my friends here that I- was wanted I came overland. I might have gotten here by boat but could not figure that to be the better and quicker way." When asked why an arrest had not been made In the case. United States Marshal Reed responded by saying that he had not notified Gardner of the war rant for his arrest being issued, nor did he explain why he had not sent a deputy to apprehend the prisoner. Assistant District Attorney Evans also denied that Information as to the action of the grand Jury had been furniBhed from that office. Mr. Gardner has been divorced, and at that time surrendered all his worldly possessions.' He is now trying to again get started on the West Coast and is la boring among the sawmills and Indus tries of Curry County for the chance- MME. OTHICK IS COMING Apollo Club Announces Soloist for Concert May 9. The board of directors of the Apollo Club announce Mme. Ijotta Ashby Othick as soloist of the forthcoming concert to be given Monday evening. May 9". This will be the first -appearance in Portland, of Mme. Othick and it may be safely predicted that she will only dupli cate her recent triumphs in Seattle. Her work measures up to any of the best con cert singers and compares very favorably with such opera stars as Mmes. Gadskl, Eames. and Schumann-Heink. Especially remarkable Is her recent and sudden ad vance Into the ranks of great opera divini ties which is without precedent or par allel In the music annals of the North west. Mme. Othick Is a distinctly Western product. In commending her recent work with the Seattle Symphony Orchestra the Seattle Daily Times says: "Mme. Othick's voice Is wondrously beautiful its purity ind clarity, its tre mendous dramatic power, its1 range and sympathy, all qualify her for the artistic and adequate handling of the greatest of soprano roles In grand opera. Her per sonality is not less winsome and charm ing, while her art, as shown strikingly in the tremendous fortura manner In which site Jtook the climax (in arpeggios) in the Weber aria from "Oberon" will be readi ly conceded the equal of any of the stars from New York or even Europe who have been heard", here in the past few years." WOMEN NON-PRODUCERS Protest Against Above Phrase. What of Child-Bear ing? PORTLAND. Or., April 15. (To the Edi tor.) I ask that Th Oregrmian oblige Us raanv int rented women readers to print a protest sent by the president of the Ore gon State Equal Suffrage Association, to register their objection against being rated in the census as non-producers. Every one of the many -who are making this request, by letter, telephone or repre sentative of some home-keeping mother or grandmother who is too busy In her so called "ungalnful" occupation to call In person, requests m to say for them that they have and are doing their full share of work In' state and Katlon as producers of the men and women of the future; that they have done and are now doing this necessary work at their personal bodily peril; that tha mothering and rearing of children is the most gainful of all occupations and ought to be so recognised. In -addition to these labors, many thousands of women are labor ing daily In the home to provide for the comfort and well-being of men, and be sides, are often engaged in extra work. In doors and out, to raise money to pay taxes for the support of government, the preacher and foreign missions and help to meet all sorts of current expenses unless, as does happen, the husband Is sometimes bereft by death or desertion. In which case he soon tires of hiring a housekeeper and seeks a wife the only "servant without wages" now existing under the Stars and Stripes. To all of this I say in reply, so that every voter, as well as every woman who reads The Oregonlan, can understand, that I am glad the census Is bringing women to their senses, xna toast way to make an un Mi just law obnoxious is to enforce it. A wo man from Idaho called yesterday at suf frage headquarters to know what Oregon women are doing for the suffrage campaign. She was answered, "We are doing as tha women did in Idaho. They got the ballot through the votes of men. "We are attempt ing to do likewise." An editorial in- The Oregonlan of yester day cites the fact that women who live in boardlng houses are non-producers. But these women are too few In number to be Justly compared, to the tens of thousands of Oregon mothers who make the homes of the land and produce and, rear the men and women of tha Nation. If everybody interested would read the full text of the dispatch from Washington, XX O, which appeared in The Oregonlan this morning under the heading, "President Hissed By Suffragists." nobody could fail to see that tha President of the United States, who honored the National Woman Suffrage Convention by 'welcoming It to Washington, . C, was not hissed by the promoters of the suffrage movement, but by Its "fool friends," chiefly outsiders or new converts, who embarrass every worthy movement by the exhibition of more seal than discretion. i Nobody expected the President, backed and sustained as he is by a rabble of antl" voters on the one hand and a "trust" of millionaire voters on the otKer. to take any other than a politician's view of the possible extension of the electorate to a voteless class who have no power, to keep him in office. - That the suffrage movement. In reality, received a great forward Impulse by the President's welcome Is shown by the alarm of the nine anti-suffrafflste of New Tork. !r " v ' Edward G. Gardner.

INTEREST IS DEFAULTED Paget Bound Telephone Misses Pay ment, Pending: Suit. Interest payments for the, Puget Sound Home Telephone bonds were defaulted yesterday, owing- to the suit recently In stituted by the Portland Home Telephone Company in the Federal Court at Ta coma, asking for the appointment of a receiver. As many of these bonds are held in this city, the announcement -con cerns a large number of Portland people. The Portland company brought ult on Wednesday, April 13, the avowed object being to "squeeze the water out of the bonds" and force the Tacoma company to pay its indebtedness to the Portland company. Failure to pay interest does not mean that this payment is lost to the bond holders. It is understood, that the pay ment is merely deferred until after the affairs of the Sound company are ad justed by th receiver. The suit was instituted by the Hill in terests in the Portland company. It 1b believed that the receivership win end within 90 days and that the interest will be paid then. Tha bonds have been, pay ing 6 per oent interest semi-annually ever sinoe Issued and this is the first time in the history of the company that the bondholders were unable to collect their money.

RIOT PROBE NEARLY OVER Grand Jury at St. Johns Examines 90 Whites and 30 Hindus. After finishing its work of investi gating the Hindu riots at St. Johns yesterday afternoon, the grand Jury went across the river to investigate the county rock crusher. Deputy Dis trict Attorney Garland remarked he was well satisfied with the results of the session' and expected several in dictments to be reported after five more witnesses had been examined la Portland. A great number of wit nesses, 90, was -examined and many hundred dollars is said to have been saved to the county. Besides the white witnesses, 25 or. 30 Hindus, some of whom were recalled several times, were on the stand. Mr. Garland also said that several participants in the riot who had left St. Johns had been .located, and were being watched pending the report of the grand Jury. 1 ' - i A Healthful Hint.

BIG FORCE TO BE EMPLOYEd Northwest Bridge Company la Constructing- Easy Grade Wagon ' - Roads Over Which Material Will Be Conveyed. Despite the fact that the contract for the laying of the additional pipe line from Bull Rim to Portland calls for the work to be completed in October, 1911, the assurance is made through the Northwest Bridge Works, which will construct the line, that the work will be completed by November of this year, should no unforseen delays arise. The contract for building the pipe line to the new city reservoir, a distance of 24 miles, was awarded to the Shaw-Batcher Company, of Sacramento, on its bid of 1,269,782. This contract will now be ex ecuted by the Northwest Bridge Works, of Portland, which is closely affiliated with the Shaw-Batcher Company. It Is on the assumption that by fast work much more can be accomplished than by slow, and that fast work is cheaper than slow, that the sub-contractors have decided to rush their work to an early completion. Despite the fact that this Is the largest contract ever awarded for a single piece of work In Portland, the contractors are not at all dismayed by the immunity of their task,' but are already preparing to assemble their material, teams and labor for car rying the work to a hasty completion. A great portion of the supplies will come from Portland and vicinity, the labor will come from Portland, and in fact the great portion of the. money to be expended will be spent in Portland, the pipe being the single exception. . Full Flow of Stream Taken. This pipe will be furnished by the East Jersey Pipe Company, of Paterson, New Jersey. It will be "lock and bar" pipe. and a total of 11,000 tons will be. re quired to lay the line between the two points. Two sizes will be used, 14 miles of the line being laid with 44-inch pipe and 10 miles with 62-lnch pipe. This pipe comes in 30-foot lengths, and Is specially treated with a coating of liquid com pound to prevent corrosion or electro lysis. , These pipes will make a great drain on the waters of the limpid Bull Run on the slODes of Mount Hood. The present line supplies Portland with 25,- 000,000 gallons every 24 hours. The additional line will send in an addi tional 60,000,000 gallons every 24 hours and so great will be the tax placed upon the clear mountain stream that practically every drop of water in Bull Run 'will be diverted into the great flumes ,at low water. The amount of work necessary in the completion of this pipe line can be comprehended by an outline of the ma terials to be used and the labor to be employed. According to John Bowles, of the Northwest Steel Works, which is interested in the sub-contracting on this work, the hauling of the pipe will require the services of 100 teams for five months. Between 15,000 and 20,000 cubic ' yards of gravel will toe required for filling around the pipe, and the movement of this gravel will require an additional 100 teams, while the dirt work and excavating will require 100 teams and two immense steam shovels of the trenching pattern. These steam shovels will start at Lusted and the reservoir, and by working ten hours a day, can remove the dirt in 150 days. The aggregate weight of the materials and gravel used in constructing the line is placed at about 60,000 tons, all of which will have to be" moved by teams. Roads Built to Haul Material. To facilitate this work, the North west Bridge Company is now building roads along the working line. s These roads will be built with a maximum of five per cent grade. It would be im possible to transport the immense amount of material over the roads now found: along the proposed pipeline. This new road will be completed by June 1. The work of excavating the ditch for the pipeline is one of the Immense tasks in connection with- the new wa ter supply for. Portland. A "total of 250,000 cubic yards of material will have to be removed and about one quarter of this will be stone and rock work, and will require drilling and blasting. For taking the pipe over ravines it will be necessary In places to construct Bteel trusses and bridges, and this material will all bo supplied by the Northwest Bridge Company. Tarda will be established at different points along the O. W. P. for the as sembling of, material. The contract ing firm will start laying pipe from both ends on July 1. From that time until November the mountains to the east of the city will be the scene of a great amount of labor after which the company in charge of the work ex pects to be able to turn over to the city a line which will supply enough pure- water to Portland to meet the de mand for at least a decade to come. FUGITIVE ARRESTED AGAIN Edward Patterson, Escaped From Denver, Taken at Kansas City. Telegraphic advices received by Con stable Wagner yesterday announce the arrest of Edward Patterson in Kansas city. Patterson Is wanted here for the alleged theft of J665, said to have been taken while he was in the employ of Thomas Murphy, a horse-dealer at Nine teenth and Washington streets. Patter son had been sent to Seattle to sell a load of horses.
