"I asked the management of the Hawthorne Kalate at that time If the estate would loan the money to pay the taxes or If we should levy an as-s.-.-sment. The money waa gladly loaned. Year before last w e levltd an a.!esment and paid thia loan back with Interest. This year the estate stain advanced a small amount of money to pay taxes. That Is all there Is to that. It Is simply a business proposition." Mrs. Colllna declares the stock waa sTlven to her as an absolute and un qualified a-lft and that the power of attorney which she executed to her mother on the date she received It.

The presence of Dr. Jo ephl on tha board of directors. Mrs. Colllna says, would be of no advan tage to anyone but himself. Fear mt B'lae Allesn. In her complaint Mrs. Hawthorne states that Mrs. Colllna professed to be afraid that Whitney U Hoise. husband of Louise It. Boise. Mrs. Hawthorne a other daughter, would rain control of the corporation. Mrs. Hawthorne aald that Mrs. Collins threatened to com mit suicide If was not ao arranged that there would be no possibility of Mr Boise securing control after Mrs. Hawthorne"s death, and that this was the reason for the transfer of tha 601 shares. That although the stock would be In the r.ame of Mrs. Colllna. Mrs. Hawthorne was to have control of It during her lifetime, hence the power of attorney. J. C. Hawthorne, the Portland pio neer who died In 11 after accumulat ing the property now controlled by the Hawthorne Katate. left no will, and tha belrs his widow and two daugh ter, who are now Mrs. Catherine H.

When Blanche Dates was Informed that aa a special reward tor having; been a perfectly rood Blrl she was to be taken to th house In which she was born, posed picturesquely aa!nst It as a backs-round and Interviewed coneern Ir.g her emotions, what do you think she said? If anybody risen and says he thinks Miss Uates reclteJ I remember. 1 remember. The bmH where I we bora. The lutle window where the sun v'ais creepins la at morn, he may aa well sit right down again. She did nothtna- of the sort. What she dtd ejaculate mas shorter, stuffed with astonishment and decidedly to the point. "tire at heavens, you don't mean to tell me Ifs standing" yet, and what evil genius ever went and resurrerted It to tie around my neck?" Assured, however, that It was a reg ular house and a birthplace any actress m!ht be slad to have In her back ground, photographically and historical ly, and being further reminded that It la absolutely ethical that genius be born in hovels and huts, so that the women's clubs can buy the shacks and put them In repair aa landmarks to be pointed out to tourists well, kavtng all thla flung at her. Miss Bates said she d take a chance. I wish I might record that our trip lay along winding roads topped o'er with scented boughs or that 1 mlacht even romantically cackle of a rose embowered cot nestled in a dell some where far from the city's baunta. Hut that must be left to her praise aKent to tell back Fast. aaeffewr Flada Place, Our motor car ours for the after noon dashed mildly along Third street, everyone In the car guessing on our des tination. I'm eurs we all figured at least on an old mansion way out in Svuth Portland. While we reckoned we stopped about 360 feet on tbe other side of Jefferson street and drew up at ths curb wltt a sharp turn. "Something wrong with the ma chine T we queried of the chauffeur, whose front name waa Cecil and mho acted like John. .r. ATnTvjMH, x m.s, bate, 0tm rZ?HZAS&.ID - 1IK i vri ir-s. -. e I jm Naw." said Cecil, laconically point ing his thumb, "that's it." "Where?"" we breathed in unison. Miss Hates stood rittht up in the car and followed with her eyes the direc tion Cecil's thumb mas magging, mhlla me all listened to his reading of the directions. '"S91 Third street, betm-een Jefferson and Columbia. That's it." Dispassionately Miss Bates surveyed her birthplace. "But I mould much prefer that one over there." she said, pointing to a rose-shadowed near-Villa across the street. We agreed with her, but It waa sev eral years too late to consider prefer ences. 1 "Oh. see the lichens on ths roof." she cried. Being her birthplace we let the lichens thing pass under any less pleasant clrcumsrnncea we"d have called her and this story mould read that It was moss. Which It was. Dirty, dingy, not really green moss. And only In spots. Not a respectable show ing at all. ""The cottage waa a thatched one. The outside old and mean," chanted the lovely Miss Bates. "I don't care. I like my house. It s got a lllao bush and a bit of a gable." It hadn't any gable It waa Just a plain roof, and m-ore a dejected, run down sort of look. "And. as I live, there's a darling porch two porches. I must ask you all to not apeak to me for several mo ments, because my feelings have over come me and I want to emote." "Tlease describe your exact sensa tions on beholding the house In which you mere born?" I asked, feeling; that the Interview waa not following the beaten and prescribed path of Inter vlems at all, but waa rapidly assuming the proportions of a dandy good time. Actress Gets New Srasatloa. "Well." here she squinted her glori ous black eyes st the unoffending little mouse gray house, "this la an entirely new sensation. It must be handled m-lth consideration. You see. they can tack anything on to me in any tom-n and I have to stand for It namesakes, people I've met. places I've dedicated, horses I"ve ridden, even clothes I've worn. Iown In fan Francisco a mob of de crepit old gentlemen leaning on canes and toothless old ladles called to aee me. saying they once had. gone to school to me during the tm"o years I taught there. But no place other than Portland can furnish me m-lth the house I was born In. I might be nasty and say that I think you could have picked out a more artistic place. I would have for any of you folka. I not only do not llks the colors or Is It lack of color? but I would have preferred a squatty cottage. What you take for emotion Is three parts Indi gestion. I suppose I may as well sip the cup to its dregs and be posed sit ting on my one-time veranda.'" Miss Bates hopped out of the car and made her may cautionsly Into ths un fenced yard. A bull pup came to ths window and yelped In protest at what he considered an Invasion of his home. How little a bull pup knowal Mlsa Bates whistled flirtatiously with ths pup. He nodded and m-hlned and changed his howl to one of camarad erie. "If there's one thing I like better than a bull dog Its another bull dog." said the reconnoltrrlnr Miss Bates. "I bad my Boston bull with me till we v I i iTri'iTT Til-t vr.-i..i - got to Kansas City. I could sneak him Into hotels and trains In my muff, but now lt'a too warm for muffs, so I had to send him home with my fura." She posed on the steps. "Wouldn't It be awful If aome one came out and beat me for a house breaker?" she breathed In apparent un rest, adding. "Well, If they do, I guess almost any policeman would let roe stay long enough to get my picture taken on my own front stoop." When she had settled herself again In the car. Miss Batea let her eyes dwell remlnlscently on the little house. "Just the same." she averred stoutly. "I bet we were awfully, awfully happy there." W went to ths City Park first and Miss Bates held a lengthy one-sided conversation with the widower Polar bear. She Insisted on stopping prog ress every ten minutes to look at a tree or a flower, or follow a bird's travel through the boughs. At the sum mit she was In the most exuberant spirit. f "Oh. you lovely old Hood." she called, making a funnel of her hands shaped about her pretty mouth. "Quit your sulking. Come out and let me ses you." She paused and looked expect antly at the long silver low-hanging clouds that held Imprisoned ths beauti ful mountain. "This la tha first time I've ever been home and not seen Mount Hood. I'm coming up here every day and coax hlra out." Presently she went on: "I'm ao glad I was born here. There are only three places In the world I'd have for my native city Portland first, of course, then San Jose and next Salt Lake City." When we passed Saca Jawea's statue. Miss Bates cried: "That's where women should all be, leading in the van, not In the run ning with them." "By which I taks It you mean men, and are not a suffragist?" I queried "Just so." ahs answered, nodding vig orously. -And to anticipate you, here's my reason: I have too much work to do. Half of the women are not fulfill ing their duties ag It la We hardly have time to Improve our minds, much less read up on politics "It's a desecration to take this won derful trip in a veil," she said as we whirled along the winding road to Council Crest, and then, to bear out her words, she flung discretion and the veil aside and let the wind whip her lovely hair and beat against bar loft, dusky cheeks. YOUNG WIFE WINS PARDON Mortgage . Foreclosure Threatens When Husband Goes to Jail. Mrs. George Downing, a young wife, appeared before the City Council yes terday morning and personally asked the Council to pass an ordinance pardoning her husband. He Is serving a three-months' term on the rock pile for drunkenness. She said ths family home Is mortgaged and she needs her husband's help to keep It from fore closure. The pardon was granted. By a resolution Introduced by Coun cilman Jennings, future applications for pardons must be made five days prior to a Council session. They must also be accompanied by the recom mendations of the Municipal Judge and the City Attorney. PROM HOTEL MI1.T0- S0HE1YW0MENHKE Wives of Eugene Capitalists Walk 60 Miles to Reduce. ANGRY BULL GIVES CHASE Former Portland Matron and Friend Make Trip in 3 Days, Through Lonely Trails, Unarmed. Sore Feet Only Trouble. BT H. E. WE6IOATB. FOLEY HOT SPRINGS, Or, May 22. (Special.) When two women make up their minds to reduce fleBh and have a splendid outing at the same time. It generally follows that no obstacle will be allowed to stand In the way, espe cially when one is the wife of a banker and the other the wife of a capitalist, which at once solves the financial end of the scheme. And. thereby hangs a tale of a hiking trip taken by Mrs. S. 8. spencer, wife of the first president of the Eugene Merchants' Bank, and Mrs. J. W. Shu mate, wife of a Eugene capitalist. Mrs. Spencer mas, a good many years ago, teller In the old Commercial National Bank of Portland, and both women and their husbands are well known In that city. The hike consisted of a 60-mile trip to Foley's Hot Springs, 40 miles being through heavy forest, along the Mc Kenzie River, where only an occasional stage coach or camper's wagon hits the trail. For a distance there are nu merous small farms, but as the moun tains are reached, and the timber be comes heavier, these disappear, and one may travel for miles without reaching even a woodman's cabin. Matrons Hike 20 Miles Dally. But this didn't stop the Eugene wo men from starting out, and the fact that they made the distance In three day, averaging 40 miles, speaks well for their pluck and "walking ability." "No, we had no exciting experiences, except one," said Mrs. Spencer when In terviewed at the Springs. "That was when an enraged bull took offense at the color or shape of my walking suit, and chased me over a rail fence. I don't know Just how fast I ran, but certainly I established a record for short-distance events for women who are well, er. that is. rather fleshy." Tea," added Mrs. Shumate, "you cer tainly did make good time, but as the animal didn't seem to object to my presence, and confined all his attentions to you, I had a moment to stop and en Joy the scene and wish I had my camera with me.

After visiting at the Springs for a week or two, the women will walk back to Eu gene and take up their social duties. Both are well pleased with the hike and experience, and if the scales show that even a few pounds have been lost while they were away, they will feel amply repaid for their trouble and sore feet. Corduroy walking costumes were worn by Mrs. 6pencer and Mrs. Shu mate, and they didn't even carry a small revolver for protection, although trap pers and hunters along the way exhib ited skins of cougars, bobcats, bear and wolves killed within short distances of the roadway they followed.
