THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 191&. 10 GUN PLAY FIGURED, DECLARES OR. EQU Threat to Shoot Prettyman Kept Handcuffs From Her, Says Doctor. "NIGHT BATTLE" PICTURED Woman Physician, Suing Superin- tentlent of Medical Building for Assault and Battery, Breaks Into Tears on Stand. Dr. Marie P. Equi once held a revolver pressed, close against the stomach of O. B. Prettyman. superin tendent of the Medical building, and threatened to shoot unless he desisted at once from his efforts to put a pair of handcuffs on her. This came out in Dr. Equi's testimony yesterday in Judge McGinn's court, where Pretty man is on trial for assault and battery alleged to have been committed on Dr. Kqul in a subsequent row on May 17 last. "Ha told me for heaven's sake not to hoot and I was praying that I would be able to control myself sufficiently not to." said Dr. Equi. She declared that Prettyman was badly scared and seemed glad to call off hostilities. Dr. Equi testified that she and Prettyman had been "very good friends. Indeed" during nearly all of the five years she bi! nirires in the Medical building. She said that she had treated members of his family for nothing. They leu out, she testified, over a young woman Prettyman brought her for treatment. Girl Cannes First Trouble. "This girl was suffering from a bad disease." testified Dr. Equi, "and I sent Prettyman a bill for the services I rendered her. He refused to pay it. I told him that ha ought to marry the girl and I spoke to her about that too. I guess Prettyman thought 1 was trying to cause him trouble in this respect. At any rate our friendship ceased and the trouble dated from that time." The state Is represented by Deputy District Attorney Page with the as sistance of C. E. S. Wood, who is ap- nearlnsr as special prosecutor. Mr. Wood Is also one of the attorneys for Dr. Equi In a civil suit which she has started against the owners of the Medical building demanding neavy damages as compensation for the in juries she insists she sustained as a result of Prettyman's alleged assault upon her. John H. Hall, who Is defend ing Prettyman, is also attorney for the defense in the civil suit. For this reason both sides are fighting hard in the criminal case, Mr. Wood to convict and Mr. Hall to acquit. Ekk Dropping Admitted. Dr. Bessie M. Gardner, who is as sociated In practice with Dr. Equi. and Dr. Equi told yesterday their story of the events which occurred on the nieht of the alleged assault. They ad mitted dropping eegs from an upper floor to the main floor of the building, but declared that this was to attract attention after they had rung the elevator bell for nearly half an hour without Inducing Prettyman or his as sistant to take them down. A heavy Iron gate at the top of the lowest flight of stairs, they explained, made it impossible for them to walk down the stairs. "The elevator would come up, but as soon as they saw who It was, down it would go again without us," said IT. Gardner." We could hear loud hee-haws from Prettyman. Finally we worked up to the sixth floor. There we went into a reception room snared by three doctors and Dr. Equi was tel ephoning to the police when Pretty man came rushing up. He ordered us out. but we refused to go, having pre viously telephoned to It. Haird and obtained his permission to stay in his office. Then the trouble started." ' story of Encounter Renliittir. The description given by the women of the "trouble" which followed was extremely realistic. Prettyman. they said, manhandled them terribly, Dr. Gardner sharing in it when" he tried to interfere. Dr. Equi's shirtwaist, torn almost to shreds, was introduced in evidence. Dr. Alan V eleh Smith and Dr. Mary MacLachlan testitied that they found Dr. Equi suffering from severe nervous shock after the battle. They told of having found large black and blue marks and contusions on her arms, neck, back and legs. Dr. MacLachlan had remained with her at the Cornelius Hotel throughout the entire night, and Dr. Smith had been called the following day. "Is it not a fact that as fast as Mr. Prettyman could get you to the door vou would run back and ti.row your selves down on the sofa and have to be -Jected over again?" Attorney Hall asked Dr. Gardner. "Of course not. That certainly is not true," responded the witness, who said also that Prettyman stopped his attacks on them only after he was informed that the police had reached the bund ing.

To organize a citizens' and taxpay ers' committee to get behind the move ment for a J2.000.000 municipal bond issue for parks and boulevards, a meet ing of prominent citizens, for which in vitations have been issued, will be held at a luncheon at the Commercial Club Monday noon. V. Vincent Jones, who has been In strumental in arranging for the meet ing, said yesterday that the park and boulevard measure, whTcn is part of the Greater Portland plans, lost at the recent city election because there was no campaign made for it. "If the voters come to understand that this measure is a part of the plans for a Greater Portland, which they In dorsed," said Mr. Jones, "they will un doubtedly reverse their decision and authorize the bond issue at the June election." "In the matter of parks and boule vards Portland stands near the bottom in the list of cities of her size," said Mr. Jones. "Progressive in other ways, she should lead In this. What a tremendous asset to Seattle Is her park and boulevard system! Denver, Kan sas City and Minneapolis are other cities that have taken the lead in this regard. Think of the hundreds of mil lions of dollars left in Paris by tour ists, who are attracted there mainly by the beauty of her parks and boule vards. "Portland cannot afford to be neg ligent in this. She can make herself one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and with her wonderful natural environs the task is comparatively easy." INDICTED MEN ARE FREED District Attorney Asks for Dismissal of Charges. On motion of Deputy District Attor ney Collier the indictment charging Morris (Count) Senosky with running a disorderly house was dismissed yes terday by Circuit Judge Morrow. Mr. Collier gave as his reason insufficient evidence to insure conviction. The in dictment grew out of a raid by the moral squad on the La Salle Hotel, of which Senosky is one of the. lessees. The indictment charging H. Galman, Phillip Abrams. Sam Fried, A. Rosen and J. Horowitz with gambling was dismissed also on Mr. Collier's motion. These men were arrested together with Sam Krasner and gave testimony against him. Krasner was convicted of gambling.

Mayor Rushlight said yesterday that he can see no way of having both an auditorium and a publio market under present financial conditions. He says the city's general fund can stand an appropriation large enough to finance the erection of a building for a public market, but It cannot stand an appro priation for the purchase of a market site. The $600,000 in bonds voted by the people for the auditorium will not permit the expenditure of more than (100.000 or $125,000 for a site. It Is considered out of the question for the city to secure 'a desirable site for that amount. Market Block May Be Increased. The street vacation amendment passed by the people at the recent special city election has made possible the vacation of streets for public purposes and has made possible an increase in the size of the market block bounded by Mar ket, Clay, and Second and Third streets. By the purchase of a strip of land 50 by 209 feet in size in the block directly south of the market block a tract will be owned by the city of sufficient size for the auditorium, for which plans have been already drawn. It is thought the strip of land could be purchased for less than $100,000. Under these conditions It would ap pear that the market block is the only site available for the auditorium. Chairman Wilcox of the commission said last night that he considered this the most likely site for the structure inasmuch as the city cannot purchase any other property suitable unless more money is given to the auditorium fund, which is impossible under pres ent financial conditions. Market Not Wanted, Saya Baker. Chairman Baker, of the market com mittee, said yesterday that he did not believe the city administration was bound to give the people a public mar ket, inasmuch as the market bond issue had been voted down. "I am a believer In public markets," he said yesterday, "but I do not think the city should Install them at present, especially in the face of the defeat of the market bond Issues voted upon by the people. There are several places for each dol lar in the general fund at present and I think we should abide by the de cision of the people in the market proposition for the present at least." Plans for a market building to cover the West Side market block have been drawn by Building Inspector Plummer. It was the intention of the market committee to finance the building out of the general fund if the market bonds failed to pass. At that time, however, it was not figured that the auditorium bond issue would fail to pass and that the measure which had for its purpose the opening of the market block for the auditorium site would carry. The outcome of the election threw both the auditorium and the market plans into a state of uncertainty. Mayor Rush light says the general fund of the city can stand probably $20,000 or $25,000 for a public market building and site, but this would be much less than the amount actually needed to put through the project. Market' Success Questioned. In some quarters doubt has been ex pressed as to the probable success of the public market scheme, but there are many who would like to see the experi ment tried, believing that a public market will go far in reducing the high cost of living Voicing the sentiments of, most of the commission men, W. B. Glafke, who is president of the Front-street Asso ciation, said: "I would like to see the public mar ket project carried through, and I be lieve the proper place ror it is on tne Market block. I think I am expressing the opinion of the Front-street men when I say a public market would be a good thing for all concerned, particu larly if the farmers would make use of it. The Front-street dealers, as a class, are not opposed to the plan. It would offer a solution of many vexed problems, one of which would be the disposal of tha immense quantity of farm produce, which often overloads the market and which the wholesalers cannot handle to advantage. With a well regulated market, this could be sold to the advantage of both farmers and consumers." Tinker Deal Is Still On. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. Joe Tinker, short stop of the Chicago Nationals, may yet Mis Healthful Qualif iesto thefbod Prof, Prescott, of the Univers ity of Michigan, explains why Royal Baking Powder adds healthful qualities to the food. Testifying before the Pure Food Com mittee of Congress, the Professor stated that fruit acids were excellent articles of food and that of these cream of tar tar, the acid of grapes, held rank with the highest both in itself and its effect in the process of leavening and baking. He regarded the results from cream of tartar baking powder as favor able to health. Scientists and hygien ists are in accord with this opinion.

Murphy, president of the Chicago Club, today denied that negotiations for the Tinker trade were off. OFFICIAL COUNT DELAYED County Clerk Says Canvass Probably Will Start Tuesday. "We will not be able to begin the official count of Tuesday's election be fore next Tuesday," said County Clerk Fields, yesterday. "This is due to the fact that we. must first check over the poll books and where the two election boards failed to indicate the total vote for all candidates, the two counts must be added together. The slight inac curacies will also have to be straight ened out before the count can be started." The returns from a great many pre cincts were in bad shape and will nec essarily delay the official count. Sev eral poll books have already been found In which the total number of votes credited for some of the closely con tested offices was less than the num ber actually Indicated in the tallying. In others, the total vote for the prin cipal candidates was not correctly en tered on the poll books, the vote be ing set opposite the wrong candidate frequently. It will be necessary for all of these apparent irregularities, due entirely to carelessness, to be cor rected, before proceeding with the count.
