Who Hears Case.
TITLE TANGLE IN COURT
C. OTkonoran Sy K. P. McCarthy
and A. E. German Held Fear of
Arrest Over Him to Mulct
Him of Property.
This man McCarthy should be In
the State Penitentiary and It the Dis
trict Attorney does hla duty he will
ee that he sets there; yea, and Ger
man, too. He Is Just as bad as Mc
Carthy." said Judge McGinn In the Cir
cuit Court yesterday In the hearing of
the case of U L Porter against C
O'Donovan and others, to recover title
to property. It was brought oil In the
trial that O'Donovan had been fright
ened Into going to San Francisco and
remained there In fear of prosecution,
'which was not Intended.
The Judge referred to E. P. McCarthy
and A. E- German, two local real es
tate men accused of being Involved In
scheme by which O'Donovan was In
duced to deed his property to Mrs.
Katherlne M. Dwyer. wife of A- J.
Dwyer. also a Portland real estate
man. and sister to E. P. McCarthy. The
transfer took place after O'Donovan
had once deeded hla property to Mar
garet McCarthy, hla sweetheart. The
property, following Marsraret McCar
thy's refusal to marry O'Donovan. was
transferred to the Shamrock Invest
ment Compmny by a woman whose
name was supposed to be M. McCarthy.
Trade Bark Wanted.
It developed that L. L. Porter, after
discovering that O'Donovan's 300 acres
near Lakevlew, In Klamath County, for
which he traded property In Portland
nd acreage near Oak Grove, waa not
under a ditch as represented, and that
lie tried to have O'Donovan trade back.
"You evidently need a guardian.
aid Judge McGinn, "while O'Donovan
was telling how ha remained In San
Francisco, where he had been sent by
E. P. McCarthy. In constant fear of
arrest. This dread, he said, was ac
centuated from time to time by let'
tera from McCarthy In which It waa
represented that the Sheriff and de
tectlves were constantly searching for
Mm. When discovered In San Fran
Cisco br U L Porter and assured that
his arrest was not being sought. O'Don
ovan algned an affidavit relating the
whole story of the alleged plot.
Fearing arrest because of his deal
with Porter and because of the alleged
"fake" transfer .O'Donovan signed over
all his property for fSOO and two notes,
one for I17S0 and one tor 11000. He
was sent to San Francisco to Thomas
Kavanaugh, a former partner of Mc
Carthy.
O'Donovan's Troubles Continue
When the note for 11500 came due
J100 went to Portland attorneys, who
collected only after Cavanaugh. ac
cording to O'Donovan's testimony, had
threatened McCarthy with an expose
of the whole scheme, and $400 went to
Cavanaugh. who threatened to reveal
O'Donovan's whereabouts If he refused
to pay. The 11000. O'Donovan said, he
Invested In a house In San Francisco,
only to find subsequently that the
building waa mortgaged for more than
Its worth.
Altogether, the testimony brought
out. O'Donovan received S13S0 for
property valued at more than $10,000
The note for $1750. he said, was given
ry him to McCarthy, who went to San
Francisco and represented to him that
It waa necessary to make It appear that
Mrs. Dwyer had full title to all the
.property If Porter's suit waa to be
beaten. N
in the present case he has a cross
complaint asking that he be given
title to his original holdings.

Portland Official Feels Federal
Building Rock, Girls Run Into
Vault for Safety.
Postmaster Merrick, who has just re
turned from San Francisco, felt the
earthquake shock there Saturday after
noon, and describes It as a violent one.
"I was sitting In the Postoftlce build
ing at Seventh and Mission streets, at
the time," said Mr. Merrick, "talking
over Postofflce affairs with the As
sistant Postmaster, when suddenly I
felt a shock like a blast. I asked him
what It was, aa I didn't realise at the
nstant that It was a quake. I thought
It was an explosion. While he was ex
plaining to me that It was an earth
quake, the second shock began. He
was alarmed and so was I. But he said
we had better not go Into the street, as
we would be In danger of falling walla.
We stood under some large beams as
the shock continued, and the plaster on
the wall began to chip. The two shocks
lasted about four minutes.
"San Francisco people say It was the
heawiest quake since the big earth
quake of 190C. The motion was much
like that of a fast-moving passenger
coach when It strikes a curve. It was
accompanied by a crunching noise.
-The girls at work In the Postofflce
building all ran Into the big steel
vault for aafety. Many persons rsn
Into the street. In the stores bottles
dropped on the flooY and broke. In
many of the buildings the occupants
were thrown Into a panic There was a
panic among the girls of the telephone
office.
The Pacific block, on Market street.
was thrown three Inches out of plumb.
When I got down to the Palsce Hotel
everyone In the dining-room had run
Into the street. People stood on Mar

has had the undivided support of all
Klk organizations west of the Rocky
Mountains, the entire South and most
of the Eastern states, without active
opposition from any particular section.
Although several cities will be nomi
nated. It Is probable that none of them
will expect more than a complimentary
vote. It Is known that St. Louis and
Boston will enter the contest for the
purpose of strengthening their respec
tive positions in the 1913 race. Reports
also have been circulated that Pltts
burg will oppose Portland, but no ac
tive campaign for that city has been
started. Philadelphia, which enter
tained the grand lodge In 1907, also
may enter the field. The general dis
position among Eiks. however. Is to
come to the Coast next year and as no
other city on the Coast Is In the race,
with all of them supporting Portland,
the question may be decided on the
first ballot.
Gus Moser to Nominate. I
It Is probable that the vote on the
place for holding the next convention
will be taken Thursday, July 13. As
soon as the result Is known Mr. Kubll
will telegraph the Information to The
Oregonlan. .
Gus C. Moser. past exalted ruler of
the local lodge, will make the nomlnat
Ing speech for Portland on the floor of
the Atlantic City convention hall. K.
K. Kubll likely will second the nomina

mlt, seconding speeches also will be
made by delegates from Seattle, Spo
kane, Tacoma, Los Angeles. San Fran
Cisco end other Western cities.
Conspicuous on the convention floor
about that time will be a certified check
for $1:5.000 which Portland delegates
will promise as an entertainment fund
In the event that the grand lodge votes
to meet here next year.
If anything further Is needed to In
duce the delegates to vote for Portland,
moving pictures of the city, literature
and more spellbinders will speak to
sweep the convention with & wave of
Oregonlan sentiment.
Chamberlain May Speak.
W. R. Apperson, past exalted ruler of
the Portland lodge, will be the official
representative of Portland at the con
vention, which. It is expected, will be
attended by about 1200 Elks as every
lodge in the country Is entitled to one
delegate. According to the fules of the
grand lodge every past exalted ruler Is
entitled to a vote. This will glvo Port
land additional strength by the
presence of Dr. Hary McKay and Gus
C, Moser, past exalted rulers of the
local body. Senator Chamberlain, also
a past exalted ruler of Portland lodge.
Is expected to Join the party at Wash
ington. He may be Induced, also, to
deliver an address at the convention

cluding a wide purple stripe on the
trousers, purple cuff bands, collar
band and hat cords.
A prize of 1260 has been offered by
the Atlantic City Lodge for the lodge
having traveled the greatest aggregate
number of miles. Portland is almost
certain of winning, as the great dis
tan co from here to Atlantic City multi
plied by the number of Portland Elks
who will appear In line will give them
a. big lead on every other city.
Exalted Ruler Kubll has been ap
pointed grand aide to the grand mar
shal of the parade and will ride 1
steed near the head of the column.
Special Is on Display.
Preparations for the trip from Port
land to Atlantic City were completed
yesterday, when the big, yellow all
steel coaches of the Chicago, Milwau
kee & Puget Sound road, which will
be used all the way to the convention

over the O.-W. R. & N. line to Seattle,
where they will be joined by other
Northwestern delegates. Thence the
trail lies over the Milwaukee system
to St. Paul, thence over the Illinois

ROADS! TO BE IMPROVED
Crushed Rock to Be Put on High
ways East of Sandy River.
Road Supervisor Nlelson, whose dls
trlct includes the territory east of the
Sandy River, is preparing to move the
rock crusher now located at the foot
of the hill on the Base Line road, near
the Automobile Club grounds, to the
rock quarry on the bluff on the east
side of the river. Mr. Nlelson says that
In this quarry there Is enough rock to
keeD the crusher In operation for 50
years, and It Is located where It will be
easy to haul the crushed rock to all
the county roads In that territory.
Change of the location of the crusher
east of the Sandy River will reduce the
cost of transportation of the crushed
material. Very little crushed rock has
been used on the county roads east of
Sandy River owing to the difficulty of
transDortatlon and the long haul up
steep grades, all of which will be over

Mrs. Lillian Barry, of Dillon, Mont.,
Recounts Hardships Suffered
After Wreck of Spokane.
Among the most exasperating cir
cumstance attending the wreck of the
excursion steamer Spokane was the
condition In which the survivors of the
Ill-starred vessel were forced to re
turn to Seattle following the disaster.
The steamer was wrecked in Seymour
Narrows. B. C, last Thursday night.
and was beached later on the sands of
Plumper Bay, where site now lies, par
tially ruined.
Mrs. Llllia Barry, late or union.
Mont., with her two sisters, the Misses
Mamie and Clara Adams, returned from
Seattle last night with naught but
tales of harrowing experience as sur
vivors of the Alaska wreck. Mrs.
Barry, who had been visiting In this
city prior to her departure for the
North, is the wife of a Montana banker.
Miss Mamie Adams Is a resident of
Portland and Is employed here as a
stenographer by an automobile con
cern. Miss Clara Adams arrived nere
but a few days ago from Dillon, Mont.,
to Join her slBters on the excursion
trip of the Spokane.
'It was awfully humiliating,' said
Mrs. Barry. "We three girls were
without clothes other than what we
I I I" H
wore. We lost all our baggage and I
had Just bought some new dresses and
things before sailing from Seattle.
"The first thing we did upon landing
in Seattle was to rush to a hotel in
a taxlcab. As soon as we were housed
In our apartment we took an inventory
of all of the wearing apparel the three
of us retained. We finally managed to
rig out a half-decent costume for one
of us and we drew lots to see who
would wear It down town. You see
one of us had to go out and buy
clothes for the others. I was the for
tunate one, and, after tucking my sis
ters in bed for I was wearing the
greater part of their attire I sallied
forth. It was really terribly humiliat
ing. "The sailors were unruly, but I have
no complaint to make. The men pas
sengers looked out for the women and
they are truly deserving of great
credit."
Mrs. Barry and her two sisters are
visiting with friends on Twenty-third
and Hoyt streets, where they will re
main indefinitely.
