FORTNIGHT BRIDE
SEEKING DIVORCE
Mrs. Patty's Second Venture in
Matrimony Quickly Ends
in Unhappiness.
HUSBAND NOW IN PRISON
Wives Plaintiffs in Three of Four
Cases in Which Decrees Are Al
lowed Love of Jewelry
Causes Marital Woe. "
With her husband. Rufus Patty, in the
Ciy Jail for passing worthless checks
and obtaining money by false pretenses,
Mrs. Isma Clifford Patty has brought suit
in the Circuit Court to secure a divorce.
She was married to him in Portland
July 9. only 14 days ago. This was her
second marriage, Bv C Clifford being her
first husband. Her son. Wayne Clifford,
is. 14 years old. Patty threatened. In the
presence of her son, she says, to kill her,
saying that she married only to get his
money.
Patty compelled her to indorse his
checks for him, she says, although he had
no money in the bank and would be
liable to prosecution. He also took from
her, she alleges, money belonging to J.
Florier. and neglected to return it to
him, thereby laying hf-r liable to prosecu
tion for obtaining money under false
pretenses. She says that when his checks
were dishonored at the bank, he became
a fugitive from justice, leaving her pen
niless and ill, and that he is now in the
City Jail.
Another Wife Dissatisfied.
lila Diets Is also dissatisfied with
married life. She says Baneham Dletz,
her husband, accused her of being unduly
intimate with her brother. Warren Wil
liams. She has been without support
from Dietz for nine months, she declares.
Circuit Judge Gatens granted four di
vorces yesterday, to Ruby Gorham from
Bert Gorham, to Gertrude Ward from
Harry Ward, to Louie Sherman from
Sarah Sherman, and to Mary J. Luce
from Frank C. Luce.
Mrs. Gorham accused Bert Gorham of
telling her that he would be perfectly
satisfied if she only had horse-sense. She
repeatedly was told by him, she said,
that he wished she would pack her things
and leave. Gorham would sit and swear
at her while she held her peace, she
asserted, and at last, when she meekly
asked him not to swear so loudly the
neighbors could hear, told her the neigh
bors could go to a place noted for its
tropical climate. At last she was in
formed that he was becoming so angry
with her that he did not wish to be re
sponsible for his actions. He twisted
her arm and wrenched her shoulder twice,
kicked her out of bed on Easter Sunday
morning, 1909. and left her destitute on
July 4 of the same year for five months,
she declared. She was again deserted
last April. She was married to Gorham
at Oregon City. June 15, 1907.
Wife Loved Jewels Best.
Sherman complained that his wife loved
Jewelry, diamonds and trinkets better
than she did him. She told him. he said,
there were plenty of men whom she
could marry, who would provide her with
diamonds. His meals were unprepared
when he went home tired at night, so
that he was obliged to cook his own sup
pers or go to restaurants, and Mrs. Sher
man threatened daily to leave. He mar
Tied her August 12, 1906. at St. Paul.
Mrs. Luce said she tried married life
with Luce twice, the second time upon
his promise to do better. But it was a
failure both times. She was scolded,
abused and twice deserted. She was mar
ried at John Day, July 4, 1905. She de
manded $15 a month alimony, and $50 at
torney's fees.
Mrs. Ward charged desertion. She was
permitted to take back her maiden name,
llertrude Lang. She was married to
Ward at Deadwood, S. D., May 9, 1900.
Father-ln-Law Cause of Trouble.
Lots W. Porter makes the charge, in
a divorce complaint filed in the Circuit
Court yesterday, that Leonard W,
Porter, a carpenter, compelled her to
cook and wash for his father, although
the father was worth $10,000 and well
able to pay for the work. She says,
too, that he has a wife and family of
his own. She remonstrated with her
husband because he charged Porter,
Sr.. nothing, and was abused for her
pains, her husband tearing the tele
phone from the wall, she declares, to
prevent her from telephoning for assist
ance. She tells of another occasion,
three years ago, when she was obliged
to call the police to prevent him from
doing her bodily harm. She says he
left her July 11, and has since been
trying to sell their home, at 238 East
Sixty-fourth street, which they axe
buying on the installment plan. She
thinks he is planning to leave the state
without making provision for her and
the three children. She was married to
him at Pendleton, October 15, 1903.

terday, asking that his name be

father and mother giving him no recog
nition, and the society circle and or
ganizations of which he was a mem

SCHOOLMATES MEET IV JAIL
Two Held Here for Murders Commit
ted in North Carolina.
Jesse Burleson and George Holder,
schoolmates of Mitchell County, North
Carolina, are in the Multnomah County
Jail, waiting to be taken back to their
old home to face murder charges. Burle
son Is 27 years old. and married, while
Holder is only 16. Both admit the charges
against them, but say they killed in self
defense. Holder thinks he cannot be con
victed because he is not of age.
"I never thought of killing Johnny Wil
son when I cut htm with the knife," he
said. "It was really an accident. I was
going home from school one day and was
Invited to get some grapes and apples.
Wilson ordered me down and then started
. to beat me. I escaped, but Wilson
caught me about 240 yards away and
kicked me. Then I drew a 15-cent pen
knife and stabbed him in the thigh. There
was no doctor near, and he bled to
death."
Burleson shot and killed Melvin Thomas.
He was working' in a Carolina logging
camp, he said. Thomas being his boss.
But Thomas was a bully and berated
him because he did not haul more logs.
On one occasion Thomas pulled a re
volver and snapped it three times, dis
charging it once, at which Burleson shot
him. This is Burleson's story. He said
that he has made no attempt at conceal
ment; that he visited the logging camp
four months after the shooting but was
not arrested.
Executrix Cannot Act.
J. Silverstone petitioned the County
Court yesterday to be appointed ad
ministrator of the will of Godfrey I

filed his final report. It covers the
sale of certain personal property,
mostly Jewelry and furs. It was dis
posed of at auction at the Courthouse
for $5905, the amount distributed to
the heirs being $5759.80. This gave
$384 from this source to each. Two
unset diamonds sold to A & C. Felden
heimer for $1630.
Good Things in
Portland Markets
The most beautiful things to be seen
in the ' markets this week were con
signments of yellow transparent ap
ples from Albany, and Alberta peaches
from further down the state. Both
were very attractive. The apples were
selling at 10 cents a pound, or three
pounds for a quarter; the peaches at
25 cents a dozen. But very good Yellow
Crawfords and Alberts can be had at a
lower figure and canning stock at $1.75
a box.
The first of the grapes have made
their appearance the small, sweet,
seedless variety. They retail at 15 and
20 cents a pound and come to us from
California. ,
Bartlett pears are making a very
creditable showing this week also, and
look well worth 25 cents a dozen.
Southern Oregon is sending forward an
abundance of pears just now that are
changing hands freely at 20 cents a
dozen.
Peach plums, with the "made in Ore
gon" stamp, were very inviting, and 15
cents a dozen or 65 cents a basket
seemed by no means dear for them. A
quantity of local-grown apples were of
fered at 5 cents a pound the kind that
do well in pies and for sauce.
Probably the last of the Royal Anne
cherries were to be had this week; they
were retailing at 20 cents a pound. Of
the small fruits, wild blackberries at
15 cents and huckleberries at 30 cents
a pound were the most prominent.
Loganberries' at three boxes for 25
cents were considerably in evidence,
and a consignment of white currants
at two boxes for a quarter looked fresh
and nice. There were also blackber
ries (of the "tame" variety) at 10 cents
a box. and blackcaps averaging the
same price.
First-crop seedling oranges were one
of the "new" things in market. They
were somewhat greenish in hue, but it
required 6 cents to get one. A large
supply of bananas have come in. some
looking very fair and some rather dark
in complexion; 30 cents a dozen and
downward was being asked for them.
The watermelon is proceeding to
usurp more and more of the' sidewalk
at the fruit stores. They are bringing
2 cents a pound. Cantaloupes are now
two for a quarter, or 10 cents for small
ones Grapefruit at three for 25 cents,
lemons at 40 cents a dozen, pineapples
at 10 cents a pound (25 to 30 cents
each), and cocoanuts at 15 cents each
seemed to complete the fruit list.
Sweet potatoes and new green corn
are the star attractions of the vege
table market. The sweet potatoes' are
15 cents a pound and the corn 35 cents
a dozen.
New, also, are California asparagus at
20 cents and lima beans at 25 cents a
pound. A consignment of choice arti
chokes is bringing 25 cents' for two.
Another newcomer is okra, or gumbo
beloved by Southerners 25 N cents a
pound.
The first of Oregon celery is offered
this week 15 cents a bunch. Cucum
bers. 5 and 10 cents each, or three for
a quarter; eggplant at 30 cents, toma
toes at 15 cents, and green peppers at
30 cents a pound; Summer squash, 5 and
10 cents each, and a little rhubarb at
10 cents a pound, while all the peas,
beans and ordinary vegetables make a
most wholesome array.
Creamery butter is still 75 cents a
roll, but quotations are predicted higher
for next week. Eggs are abundant;
good "family" stock brings 40 cents a
dozen. The price of poultry remains
very much as last week Spring chick
ens, 30 cents; hens, 25 cents, and ducks,
30 cents a pound.
In the fish market, crabs are 35 and
40 cents each; shrimps and smelt, 25
and 15 cents a pound respectively. Sal
mon. 15 cents; black cod. 12V4 cents,
and halibut 10 cents a pound. Good
salted mackerel from 10 to 40 cents
each.
JEWEL SWINDLE SUCCEEDS
Man Pays $350 for Imitation Dia
monds Worth 50 Cents.
The man with valuable jewelry, which
he is compelled to sell at a great sacri
fice made his appearance in Portland yes
terday and succeeded in disposing of it
to good advantage.
Solomon Parnass, of 271 Baker street.
was approached at First and Main streets
by a countryman who asked him the fare
to Chicago. Parnass said he did not
know, but thought that it was about $50.
"My. that's bad," said the inquirer.
"I'll have to sell -my jewelry." At the
same time he drew forth several appar
ently fine diamonds.
At this point a bystander stepped up
and asked what was the trouble. His
eye fell on the Jewels and he went into
raptures over them and wanted to buy
them. Parnass suggested his prior
claim, whereupon the newcomer offered
him an advance for his bargain. Parnass,
now keyed up to the highest pitch, went
to his home and secured $350 which he
paid for the Jewels, and the "booster'
then paid Parnass $65 on account, prom-
islng to bring the rest and take the dia
monds. He failed to appear and the vic
tim awoke to realization of the fact that
the two men were working together and
that he had been duped.
He reported the case to the detective
bureau and showed imitation diamonds
worth about 60 cents.
A prayerbook was among- the articles

HIBERNIANS NAME
REGAN PRESIDENT
St. Paul Man Defeats Cum-
mings After Liveliest of
Election Contests.
POPE SENDS GREETINGS
Messages Also Come From President
Taft and Cardinal Gibbons.
Vote of Pennsylvania Dele
gation Decides Issue.
In what is believed to have been the
most lively contested election in the
history of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, held yesterday. Matthew
Cummlngs, a candidate to succeed him
self as president, went down to defeat.
and J. J. Regan, of St. Paul, was chosen
in his stead.
The election of officers consumed the
entire day yesterday and late into last
night. Those elected are:
President. J. J. Regan. St. Paul: vice-
president, Joseph McLaughlin. Philadel
phia; secretary. J. T. McGinnis. Scran
ton, Pa.; treasurer, James J. Maloney,
Council Bluffs, la.
Regan "Back to the Soil" Man.
The newly elected president. James
J. Regan of St. Paul, Minn., is a firm
believer In the "back to the soil" move
ment and predicts that In time the
great numbers of -the well-to-do class
in the United States will own country
estates similar to those of England and
Ireland. Touching upon this subject
and the work of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, Mr. Regan la"st evening
saia:
'It will be on of my purposes to en
courage amoung members of the order
and Irishmen generally the idea of the
advantages to be derived from living
on farm lands. Such advantages are no
greater anywhere than in the West. It
is "back to the soil' for the Irish peo
ple. In Minnesota there are hundreds of
Irish people brought from the con
gested districts of the old land through
the efforts of Archbishop Ireland and
Bishop McGoldrick, who have settled
on farms in my state. These people had
comparatively little of the world's
goods when they came to America, but
in the past 26 or SO years they have be
come some of the most prosperous and
influential residents of our common
wealth. New President Tells Policies.
Referring to his election as president.
Mr. Regan outlined his policies as fol
lows: "So far as the election today is con
cerned, I am much pleased in being
nonorea witn tne mghest office of the
order. I want to take this opportunity
of testifying to the splendid work
achieved for the order by my predeces
sor In office, Mr. Cummlngs. Every
oeiegate, l tnink, ruiiy appreciates his
work and were the election along those
lines wholly, Mr. Cummlngs would
undoubtedly have been elected bv a
large majority. But the election large
ly turned upon the question of a third
term, which, following the advice of the
Father of Our Country, the Hibernians
did not believe an advisable precedent
to establish.
"Regarding the matter of policies.
there will be no material change. I
nave been a part of the retiring adminis
tration and will endeavor to keep the
workings of the order In the future as
in the past, wholly aloof from any
other Irish movement, encouraging all
in so far as may be done in accordance
with the principles and policy estab
lished by the Ancient Order of Hiber
nians." Pope Pius and Taft Send Greetings.
At the opening of the sessions yester
day morning, greetings to the conven
tion from President William H. Taft,

O'SCLLIVAX GIVES LIBERALLY
Witty Panlist Turns Refusal of Do
nation Into Acquiescence.
James O'Sulllvan, of rubber-heel
fame, ingratiated - himself into the
hearts of his fellow-Irlsnmen by an
nouncing a gift of $1000 for the cause
of church extension work. Mr. O'Sul
llvan is one of the charitably-inclined
Irish-Americans among the Hibernians
and as a layman stands high among his
churchmen.
Mr. O'Sulllvan frequently is asked
for donations. In fact, many seem to
believe, he says, that he is somewhere
in the Rockefeller or Carnegie class.
Apropos of his charitable work, one of
his friends tells a story.
Father A. P. Doyle, of Washington,
D. C-, wrote Mr. O'Sulllvan a short
time ago for a donation -or the erec
tion of a Paulist Mission chapel. The
rubber heel man replied that he could
not comply with the wishes of the
father. Whereupon the Paulist wrote
In reply as follows:
"My Dear Mr. O'Sullivan: Tour letter
is Just at hand. Upon reading its con
tents, I became so greatly shocked and
disappointed that I would have keeled
over had it not been that I was wear
ing a set of O'Sulllvan's rubber heels.
Tours, etc."
The next mail carried to the Paulist
leader a handsome sum from Mr. O'Sul
livan. It is understood that a' movement is
on foot among the Hibernians to make
a collection for the benefit fund for
Miss Majorie Mahr. the chorus girl who
lost her legs in a railroad accident. As
the cause is considered most worthy,
it is likely the Hibernians will donate
a tidy sum.
Colonel William Dunphy, Democratic
warhorse of Eastern Washington, has
been in the city from Walla Walla, for
the purpose, it is understood, of mak
ing soundings among the Hibernians
as to their political feelings toward
Colonel Dunphy's '"peerless" friend.
Colonel William J. !Bryan. It is
rumored that Colonel Dunphy is dis
appointed, for his Irish-American
friends seem to believe that the notable
Nebraskan "can't come back."
"Patriotic sons and rosy-cheeked
colleens of the Emerald Isle own Port
land and Portland owns the sons and
daughters of the Shamrock-clad hills
of Old Ireland this week," is the way
that James F. Mclvor, of Wilmington.
Del., gives expression to the occasion
of the 47th convention of Ancient Or
der of Hibernians.
It was announced yesterday that the
sum of $25,000. voted by the convention
J.hursday- wln be PPed to the
building of more church -and -school com
bination structures in Portland and other
cities in Oregon. The structures wiU be
built with some modifications', but in
keeping with the Roman stvle of St
Mary's Cathedral. The response of the
convention to the appeals of the church
in Portland is considered as most en
couraging and much larger charitable
contributions are expected to be forth
coming after the delegates return to
their respective homes and make known
the needs of the Catholic Church in Ore
gon. Thomas J. Maloney. who 'was yesterday
elected National treasurer of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, is the Mayor of
Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mr. Maloney is
engaged in the wholesale cigar business
in that place. He said last evening
that he had attended many conventions
and had visited many cities throughout
the United States, but nowhere had he
enjoyed wider hospitality than shown by
Portland people.
TRAGEDY MAKES HEROES
ARTILLERY OFFICERS BRAVE
WHENGCX EXPLODES.
Failure of Safety' Appliance at
Critical Moment Believed to
Have Caused Accident.
WASHINGTON. July 22. Stories of
valor and sacrifice in time of suffering
and confusion were detailed to General
Wood, chief of staff of the Armv. and
other officials of the War Department
today on the return to Washington of
officers who yesterday witnessed the
explosion of a big gun in the first min
ute of battle practice at Fortress Mon
roe, which resulted in 11 deaths.
These personal reports were aug
mented by further telegraphic reports
from Lieutenant-Colonel c. P. Towns
ley, of the coast Artillery Corps, the
commandant at the fort.
Conspicuous in the heroic group was
Lieutenant Van Deusen, who suffered
a broken leg from the body of one of
his men being hurled against him. He
was the timekeeper during- the target
practice.
Lieutenants Are Praised.
"Lieutenant Van Dusen." said Colonel
Townsley.' in an official report, "sup
ported himself on the railing of the
platform and directed that the assist
ance which was offered to him be given
to others in the vicinity, some of whom
were lying helpless with burning pow
der grains in their clothing."
Lieutenant Hawes was praised by the
commandant for having extinguished
"with his bare hands burning material
that threatened to Ignite the second
charge, which was on Its way to the
emplacement."
Following the receipt of these reports
General Wood sent a telegram to Fort
ress Monroe expressing his sympathy
with the bereaved and suffering, and
his appreciation of the "excellent con
duct of the officers and enlisted men."
Safety Devices Fail.
Until the official report of the in
vestigating board is received the exact
cause of the accident is expected to
remain a question of conjecture. Re
ports received at the department say
the board has completed taking testi
mony and soon will submit its find
ings. Enough has been learned at the de
partment to satisfy officers that for
some reason there was a tension on the
lanyard which resulted in an explosion
before the breech-lock had been rotated
Into place. It is believed that for some
reason the safety devices on the gun.
Intended to make such an accident as
this Impossible, failed to work.
Colonel Townsley has Informed the
department that the detachment man
ning the gun which exploded was ex
ceptlonally well trained and expert.
IRISH RESIST EVICTIONS
Heads Broken in Battles In Which
Constables Ultimately Win.
DUBLIN, July 22. A serious encounter
between police and people occurred the
other day in connection with evictions
on the Tredennlck estate In Roscommon.
When the sub-sheriff, accompanied by
a force of 60 constables, arrived at Cloon
shanagh to dispossess certain tenants
who had failed to pay their rents, the
chapel bell was rung, and a large crowd
speedily assembled amid much shouting
ana norn-Diowing.
The dwellings marked out for attack
were found to be stoutly barricaded. In
one case the door and windows were pro
tectee by a solid wan of stones, behind
which the householder, armed with
cudgel. awaited the coming of the
evictors. When the police attempted to
dislodge him he resisted fiercely, and his
1 neighbors who also carried sticks,
promptly came to his assistance.
Stones were thrown, and several con
stables received cuts about the head and
face. One man's rifle was broken by a
mow rrom a ciud. several helmets were
smashed. Eyentually a baton charge
was ordered, in which many blows were
exchanged. some of the combatants
having to obtain medical assistance. The
police ultimately scattered their assail
ants and the evictions were carried out.

which vessels were not complying with
them. In order that all motorboat own
ers may be familiar with the restrictions,
the law provides that two copies shall
be distributed for each craft and that
they must be on hand for dfsplayal when
demanded.
Rowboats and craft carrying sail are
also Included In the campaign being
waged, but their equipment Is governed
by an act of 1897 that provides for a
maximum fine of $250. The law divides
the motorboats into three classes, less
than 26 feet in length, under 40 feet and
not more than 65 feet. A different num
ber of lights Is prescribed for each class
in addition to whistles, foghorns and
bells.
While it is optional with the officers to
merely notify the owner that a fine has
been imposed, the law gives them au
thority to seize the craft not obeying its
provisions and hold it until the fine is
paid. After the sum is turned over to
the Collector of Customs an appeal may
be taken to the Department of Com
merce and Labor or a petition filed ask
ing for a reduction of the amount levied.

a delegate from the Open River Asso
ciation, he will submit data covering
the estimated cost of river Improve
ments above Priest Rapids and he ex
pects to show that navigation can be
made possible as far north as Nelson,
B. C, at an expenditure not as heavy
as that proposed to complete the Celilo
Canal.
It is said by Captain Buchanan, who
has traversed most of the route, that
there are few places where .the work
will entail heavy expense and that
with the removal of obstructions at
Priest Rapids and one or two shoal
places above, it will be possible to
reach Wenatchee. In the event the
stream is open to Nelson, it will give n
navigable stretch of water 1600 miles,
reaching from there to Astoria.
NORMA OS WAYS AT CELILO
Inland Empire Will Be Hanled Out
for Overhauling Next Week.
Having raised the steamer Norma,
which recently went down near the mouth
of the Deschutes River, the Oregon
Trunk Railroad has the craft on the ways
at Celilo undergoing extensive repairs. It
is estimated that the work will not be
completed until the middle of August. Jo
seph .Supple has a force of men there
engaged in the construction of an addi
tional railroad ferry, which has no power
and it is to be towed by the Norma.
The steamer Inland Empire, of the
Open River fleet, will be hauled out at
Celilo next week and It is expected she
will be on the ways at least three weeks.
Last season the Twin Cities was over
hauled, but the Inland Empire was not
given her annual going-over and addi
tional labor will be necessary as a result.

91,8C. GAELIC LEAGUE JUBILANT
Compulsory Study of Irish, However,
Diverts Students.
DUBLIN. July 22. It is said that the
decision of the Senate of the National
University of Ireland to make the Irish
language compulsory for matriculation
on and after the year 1913, was taken
by a majority of 21 votes to 12.
The Gaelic League is jubilant over the
victory, which is mainly due to the pres
sure which the league was able to ex
ercise through the Nationalist county
councils. The councils are authorized by
the universities act to strike rates in aid
of scholarships to a total amount of about
$300,000 per annum. Many of them made
the striking of the rate conditional upon
the adoption of compulsory Irish. If the
new rule is strictly enforced hundreds of
students will be diverted to Dublin Uni
versity or to Belfast.
The Irish Times, in expressing regret
at the Senate's decision, says that it does
net think that either Trinity College or
Belfast University wishes to be en
riched at the cost of Roman Catholic
Ireland's first venture in educational
home rule.
