" T. J. Flavin, a postofflce Inspector, of
Seattle. Is looking; over Portland to
pass on the recommendation of Post
master Merrick for IS additional let

business In Portland has grown by leaps
and bounds during the last two years,
and particularly this year. During the
year the postofflce department was al

Some time ago Postmaster Merrick
asked for IS additional carriers to as

endless source of death, scandal, litiga
tion and expense, a settlement is being
negotiated with R. U Fraley. present
legal owner of the car. and probably
will be perfected within a few days.
In the three years since the Colorado
millionaire bought the ISO-horsepower
car In Italy, bringing It by way of Ber
lin to the United States, complications
have centered about It and the cost to
Mr. Ourrenhelm. by the time the pend
In negotiation are settled, will
mount above tUXOOO. The car cost, de
livered In New Tork. more than $4000,
and the numerous vicissitudes through
which It has passed have added not less
than P" more, according to repre
sentatives of the original owner. As
Mr. Kraley must be reimbursed for his
Investment In the car. liita figure cer
tainly will be advanced above the ISO,
mark.
Incidents Follow Fast.
Two deaths, a railroad wreck, an
elopement, a raffle followed by sinis
ter allegations, a sale In which two
conflicting bills of sale and an Investi
gation by the Dlatrlct Attorney figure,
a replevin suit and redelivery under
bonds are the vicissitudes through
which the car has passed in two years.
Since Daniel Guggenheim, a little
more than a week ago. repudiated the
act of his son. Robert Guggenheim. In
selling the car. and filed a replevin
suit against E. U Fraley. a Portland
real estate dealer, the wires have been
kept busy between this city and Seattle
and between the Seattle and the Gug
genheim residence in New Tork City,
and It Is announced that an understand
ing baa been reached whereby the
smelter owner will give Fraley a bill
of sale and then"Vepurchase the car. Mr,
Guggenheim's avowed purpose, says Mr.
Fraley. Is to destroy the car and there
by end the chain of untoward events
growing out of Its possession.
Car Has History.
Developing 130 horsepower and capa
ble of going at the rate nf 100 miles an
hour, the bone of contention, merely
upon Its physical properties. Is one of
the most noteworthy cars In Portland.
It was placed In competition two years
ago In a race across the country and
sa miles out nt Buffalo. N. T.. It turned
turtle and killed two persona Proceed'
Ing on Its way. at Omaha, the big auto
bile was In collision with a freight
train and was materially damaged.
Robert Uttagenhelm. son of the smel
ter man. and a resident of Seattle, ob
tained possession of the car last De
cember. but his father denies that b

the car waa put up In a raffle." and
the drawing was followed by such I
storm of Insinuations that the purchas
era of t'ekets were reimbursed by
Daniel Giisffenhelm. It Is said. Then.
Kraley contend. Robert Guggenheim
sold the car to rrank Klanlgan. an au
tomobile agent of Portland, as payment
of on a new car. Flanlgan in
turn, being preed for rash, offered It
to Fraley for tZinn, saving that the
price would be I 'oo If he escaped from
Ms difficulty without selling the car.
Sale Makrs Complications.
Fraley paid for the car with ttonO
rash and two bonds of me Northwest
Long Distance Telephone Company,
which have since been called Into the
altercation by the assertion of Flanlgan
that they were misrepresented to him.
Fraley declares that Flanlgan was fully
Informed of the statue of the bonds.
whW-h were fully worth the amount for
which they were taken, lie says that
do price was placed upon them, but that
be told Flanlgan that they were selling
at IS and soon would reach 0. which.
In fa't. he says has proved true. He saya
Flanlgan took a day to Investigate the
value of the bonds before accepting
them.
Another tangle of the affair la pre
sented by Fraley's statement that two
bills of sale were shown him by Flanl
gan. one typewritten and purporting to
be from Robert Guggenheim, the other
hand-written and ma.le by a man named
Jones. This phase of the subject is un
der invert igatlon by the District At

last Friday to explain the apparent dis
crepancy, automobile waa replevined from

the weight of his sack and straps.
Inspector Flavin will be In. the city
about ten days, going over the routes
and investigating conditions In general
before reporting on the recommenda
tion of Postmaster Merrick.

City Attorney Grant Informed the
Council yesterday that through a recent
decision of the Supreme Court, four city
detectivesJoseph Day. U G. Carpenter,
Frank Snow and J. F. Reslng were en
titled to receive IS90S each, from the city

legally removed from office by ex-Mayor
Lane. The Council referred the letter
to Its waya and means committee, al
though advised by the City Attorney that
the city could not avoid the payment as
directed by the Supreme Court.

Service Cpmmlsslon. which decided In
their favor. The case went to the courts,
with the result that ths men wers award

Into the waters of the Willamette and
was lost from view, presumably meeting
Instant death by striking his head against
the building or the boat, or drowning
before help could reach him.
Greenwald's contact with the water was
heard by scores, the crowd on the dock
being augmented by a number of friends
who had accompanied the passengers on
the Elder to the boat.
"Man overboard." was the cry that
sounded through the vicinity. Instant
ly there was a rush of men to the spot.
Women shrieked and the gruff voices
of the sailors could be - beard over the
tumult on shore.
Delay in Rescue.
Some delay was occasioned In attempt
ing a rescue. The boat was about to
leave and the hands were engaged in
casting off the lines.
Rushing frantically about, aln.ost In
despair and appealing for asflstance
from everyone whom he met, Ed Swan
son, the traveling companion of Green
wald. made frantic efforts to save his
friend. He was several times on the
verge of Jumping Into the river, but was
restrained by cooler heads, who warned
hlra that he might strike his head against
a log or raft with probable fatal re
sults. It remained for one of the visitors to
the dock, C G. Evans, who lives at the
Esmond Hotel, to descend to the river
on a rope and with the aid of a lan
tern's dim rays search for the missing
Greenwald.
Evans stepped out on a raft and
searched near and under the docks, but
could find no trace of him. His hat
floating on the water told 'tike story of
Greenwald's fate. In the meantime, the

H. J. Deputy, of Long Beach, Cal.,
who is staying at the Imperial Hotel,
declares that the employee made no no
ticeable effort whatever to assist In the
work.
"It was five minutes from the time
the man fell Into the water until anyone
tried to save him," says Deputy. "The
