One hill after another was Introduced In Conirrss but airong lobbies caused th measures to be side tracked. The stock men, assisted by the humane societies. kept at work, however.

"The railroads are preparing to resist the efforts of the stockmen and hu mane societies In every manner poa sible. and this proposed speed mini mum bill will be one of the chief topics discussed at the annual conven tion In Portland."

PROFESSOR IS NOT INSANE Court lHcitles Peculiar Actions No Indication of Tterancrment. Because Alexander Loveberg plugged the keyhole of his bedroom with paper, lammed paper underneath the door to keep out chilly blasts, and kept his light burning all day for warmth, he Is not crazy. Dr. Williamson examined him yesterday, and. declaring; him to be sane, ordered his release from th County .Jail, where he was kept over nlzht. his landlady at 1S1 Fifth street causing his arrest for alleged Insanity. Loveberg was a college professor In Austria before coming to Portland, and a former student, now In business here. waa Instrumental In obtaining his re lease. He said Loveberg waa peculiar at times, but was never mentally weak. When Deputy Sheriffs Leonard and Turner were sent to apprehend Love berg they knew the vicinity of his abode, but could not Identify him and were unable to find hla exact address. While deliberating what to do they saw man wheeling a self-improvised wheelbarrow, which bore all his goods and chattels. The wheelbarrow was made of a wheel from baby carriage to which two long atlcks and a cross bar were attached. They seized th man handling th odd conveyance, and by chance he was Loveberg.- whom they sought. He was moving from the home of the landlady who complained against him to another boarding-house when apprehended. BIBULOUS YOUTH SCARES Slayer of Frank Porter, Hearing Cries, Calls Police.

DETECTIVES SEEKING HIM Shortage In Accounts With Old Employers and Pending Indict ment by Circuit Court Remain Aclnst "Good Spender." Leavlnc an unsatisfied penal bond In the sum of 1300. a shortage In accounting with hts former employers of nearly SS00, and many checks which were not backed by money in the bank. Charles H. Craw ford, formerly local manager of tha Monarch Oil Company, under pending Indictment In the Circuit Court charging statutory offense, left this city very suddenly, about midnight last Saturday, nd is being eagerly sought by private detectives, whose services have been en isled by tha bondsmen. A trail of hilarity, extending to all tha roadhouses and free-and-easy resorts, tha expenses being paid by Crawford's checks upon the United States National Bank, has Been left by tha fugitive, and at least three women are bemoaning the fact that they for a time shared his convivialities. Crawford Sued by Wire. Crawford first appeared in the public eve a few weeka ago, when his wife, whom ha had married in California a year ago. sued him for non-support, and secured a maintenance of &J a month. Soon afterward she employed private de tectives to trace her husband and there from resulted his arrest In a room in an apartment-house at Fourteenth and Co lumbia streets. In company with a young woman who was charged jointly with him. 1 The pair were arraigned In Municipal Court December 10. and waived examina tion. Crawford showing great solicitude to shield bis companion from publicity. Tha case was taken up by the grand jury and an Indictment waa returned last week, against Crawford, the woman be ing allowed to go. A bond of MouO was fixed, but tha amount was later reduced to M and George Manning and N. A. Leach became sureties. Man Last Seen Saturday. Crawford wss to have appeared to plead this week. He wss last seen In this city at 11:15 Saturday night. It Is known that ha left toe city soon afterward. .Not hum Is known of the direction he took, but acquaintances believe that he Is either headed for Calgary. Aferta. or Pitts burg. Pa., where his parents live. With the disappearance of Crawford ram the discovery tnat nia nnanciai matters are far from straight. Whlla manager of the Monarch Oil Company, which position ho held up to December the account or tne company waa car- rk-d in his name, and there is a shortage of ft8 upon the face of the accounts. In addition. Crawford was a gooa cus tomer, on paper, of all tha resorts, and spent his checks like water. Robinson Co- clothiers, nonoreo a cneca ior Sft. th Sealy-Uowell Company accepted one for about fioo. and claar stands snd other retailers were not overlooked in tha harvest. Another Woman Involved.. In addition to the girl with whom Craw ford wss arrested, another Is in this city who was his companion for a time, and it was she. says Mrs. Crawford, whom the detectives expected to catch, with Crawford when the arrest was made. That Crawford was not a free man when he married his present wife a year ago. Is another charge made by persons who ar acquainted with his affairs. A wife and child exist in Pittsburg, it is said, and it is thought probable that Crawford Is on bis way to rejoin them. Little la known of Crawford here, ex cept that he was a "good spender." Be fore coming her he was with the same company in California, and is said to have lost his position with them par tially through his trouble with his wife. Wife Lives Here. Mrs. Crawford Is living at the McKIn ley apartments on the East Side. She knows nothing of the whereabouts of her husband. Th manner In which Crawford worked upon her was shown by his atti tude in the courtroom at th time of his arrest. Almost in the presence of the woman who was arrested with him. he caressed th complaining wife, and soothed her with blandishments in an ef fort to secure a withdrawal of the prose cution. Th new developments have been lain before District Attorney Cameron, but as the bench warrant Issued yesterday by Judge Cleland Is sufficient upon which to base ar request for his apprehension, wherever he may be found, action on the newer charges will probably be deferred until th meeting of the next grand Jury, the tim remaining for the present one being very short. yn Hast Head Thla If Ya Want Beaeflt.

QUESTION SIX-IXCH REGCLATIOX AROUSES SOME CRITICISM. Action of Water Board Is Approved, However, by Xambcr of Persons Owning Property. Refusal of the Water Board to take over pipes of less than six Inches has aroused some -criticism In the suburbs among property owners, who have laid smaller mains, but on the whole the action is approved by L. E. Rice and Ben Riesland. For several years the Water Board has declined to lay any mains smaller than six Inches, but many miles of mains have been laid in -the suburbs, one, two and four Inches by private individuals. Nearly all the suburban water systems are composed of mains ranging from four inches down, but the city has not laid mains of less than six inches for years. L. E. Rice, chairman of the commit tee which framed the present water amendment, approves the attitude of the Water Board and says that the ac tion Is a wise one. He thinks that the Water Board had to draw the line somewhere and drew It at the six-Inch main line. Ben Riesland, president of the Seventh Ward Improvement League and . chairman of the South East Side water committee, approves the action of the Water Board. "It strikes me that the Water Board is correct," said Mr. Riesland, "in declining- to take over pipes less than six Inches. I am talking against my own Interest, as I laid a lot of two Inch pipe, which I cannot expect the city to pay for. Mains less than six Inches can serve only a temporary pur pose and must be replaced, and there Is no reason why the city should wast a lot of money in paying for temporary mains. However, I think that the city should take over the suburban water piants and supply water until such time as larger mains can be laid like, the Woodmere and Woodstock plants. This was done In the case of Monta villa, Woodlawn and Mount Tabor. But I don't think the' city should pay ex orbitant prices for these plants when they are taken over. The city will have to use these plants until it can replace them, as It would be impossible to lay new systems in these outlying districts at once. Christmas Happy Day for Med ford.
