THE SrORNIXG OREGOXIAI?, FRIDAY. MARC II 10, 1016.
ACTOBCAIOTREPLY
Default Order Issued by Court
Against Joe Howard.
BREACH PROMISE CHARGED
Portland Woman Says Orphcum Star
Made Offer of Marriage Salary
and Property May Be Attached
In Case of Judgment.
All Tight to defend the 30,000 breach
of promise suit Drought against Joe
Howard, Orpheum headlincr and mu
sical comedy composer ol note, by Mrs.
Edah Witherspoon, a Portland widow,
has been lost, a default order being en
tered by Circuit Judge Morrow yes
terday. The sigrnint: of the default order
means that Howard no longer has an
opportunity to reply to the charges set
forth by Mrs. "Witherspoon. Judge Mor
row will soon set the day for hearing,
if a jury is not asked for. Judge Mor
row will decide upon the damages to
te allowed.
Howard has been given more than a
month in which to file his answer to
the complaint filed February 5. He
was served with a summons and given
a copy of the complaint the same day
that the papers were filed. He an
nounced at that time that he would
attempt to secure a continuance of the
case and that he would return to Port
land in May to fight the suit. He said
that business engagements in Cali
fornia necessitated his presence in that
Mate until May.
Though until recently it was believed
that Howard was making preparations
to put up a defense, it became obvious
h week ago that he intended to let the
suit go by default and defy the plain
tiff to collect the judgment she might
receive.
"It's a peculiar case the first of its
kind I've ever had," commented Judge
Morrow yesterday. "The majority of
damage suits,' he went on. "are con
tested, or, if they go by default there
is usually some agreement between at
torneys as to the amount of judgment
that the default order will mean. In
this case, Mr. Howard absolutely ig
nores the suit, as though he thought
that no action or this court .would be
binding, as long as he was outside the
state."
W. A. Burke, attorney for Mrs. With
erspoon, will leave for New York, in
ail probability, as soon as the judg
ment is settled, that he may garnishee
Howard's salary at the Orpheum Cir
cuit headquarters and may attach any
real or personal property of the actor.
Mrs. Witherspoon. who is the daugh
ter of T. L. Reimann. of 7402 Fifty
sixth avenue Southeast, filed suit
against Howard while he was filling
his Portland engagement with the Or
rheum last month, alleging that a
year previous, on a similar tour, he
had made love to her when in Portland
and had promised to marry her. He
denied the charges at the time, saying
that he had been married to Mabel
McCane at the time of the supposed
proposal, and that the only promise
be had made to Mrs. Witherspoon was
a. Joking one offered to add to the mer
riment of a. supper party at the Hof
Brau.
Howard has produced 16 musical
ffhows to which he wrote score and
plot, among which were. "The Land
of Nod." "The Time, the Place and
the Girl," and "The Stubborn Cinder
ella." VANCOUVERSTORE ROBBED
Third Burglary in Two Days Ttousos
Police to Action.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. March 9.
(Special.) Another store robbery, the
third in two days, was discovered this

parties without success.

NORTH BEND. Or., March 9. (Spe

INSPEGTOeS IN
Hearing Over City Discharge
Becomes Highly Involved.
DEFECTIVE SEWER CAUSE
Man Dismissed Says lie Only
Checked Approval of Junior,
Which in Turn Was Passed by
Senior, Who Retains Job.
Inspectors, inspectors of inspectors,
and inspectors of Inspectors of Inspec
tors, entered into a complex hearing
started yesterday before the Munic
ipal Civil Service Board in the case of
Harry Gurr, a district sewer inspector
for the city, who was discharged re
cently following discovery of defective
sewer construction which he approved
for the city. The hearing brought out
several legal and personal fights and
threats of fights "out of court."
Mr. Gurf was discharged when it was
found that he had approved a sewer
in East Alder street from East Forty-
fifth street to East Forty-ninth street
in 1913 without the Joints having been
properly made. The defects developed
recently when part of the eewer trench
fell in.
Mr. Gurr made his defense prin
cipally on the ground that his dis
missal was because he was "in bad"
in his department under Commissioner
Dieck and J. C. Sharp, chief of the
bureau of sewers. He said he had no
greater responsibility than Mr. Sharp
who has been retained.
The Job of inspection first was on
the inspector who was actually on the
work it developed: secondly on the in
spector of inspectors who had the first
inspectors in charge," and thirdly on the
inspector of the inspector ol inspectors.
The third man was Mr. fenarp.
The hearing centered largely around
Mr. Sharp, on the question of why he
was retained and Mr. Gurr discharged.
It was shown that Mr. Sharp signed the
same approval slip on the sewer as did
Mr. Gurr. Mr. Sharp contended that
he had to rely on the report of his in
spector of inspectors, who was Mr.
Gurr. and Mr. Gurr said he had to rely
largely on the reports of the inspectors
under him. The inspector under him
in the Alder-street case was Vincent
Newell, who is now out of the service.
Mr. Sharp testified that Mr. Newell,
the inspector who was on the work,
had told him that Mr. Gurr was not a
fit man for the work This aroused the
ire of Mr. Newell, who was at the hear
ing, and de denied it. Hot words were
shut off by Chairman Caldwell, of the
Board. Mr. Newell said he would set
tle the controversy with Mr. Sharp "out
of court." ...
The hearing was continued until to
night at 7:45 o'clock.

DAIRY MUST BE CLOSED
COUXCIL RULES AGAINST
GOLDSTEIN AT VERNON.
MRS.
Woman Say. She Went Into Debt Mak
ing Improvements Ordered and
Now Is Forced Out.
Mrs. Lizzie Goldstein has lost her
long-waged fight to save her dairy
plant in the Vernon district, which she
has succeeded in bringing up to a
profitable basis after years of struggle
against odds. The City Council
Wednesday gave her three months to
get out. .
Mrs. Goldstein went into the dairy
business a number of years ago and
has taken care of her cows, done all
the heavy work, delivered milk and
built up a business by working almost
day and night. Three years ago the
Council passed a barn ordinance that
forced her to improve her place. She
claims she mortgaged all she had to
raise money for the Improvement and
still owes $1500 on the mortgage. Now
comes the Council with another ordi
nance to put her out of business.
The case has stirred up a genera!
neighborhood fuss in Vernon. Part of
the community has signed a petition
asking the Council to let Mrs. Gold
stein continue in business, while others
have signed a petition asking that she
be put out of business. Those favoring
Mrs. Goldstein sent a communication
to the Council to the effect that it "is
a shame to wreck the business of a
woman who has struggled to make a
living by hard work." The other side
says the barn is a nuisance because of
the odor and the noise of the cows.
Mrs. Goldstein blames the city- for
requiring her three years ago to spend
a large sum to improve her place and
then putting her out of business so
soon after requiring this expenditure.

NEW PROBLEM FACED
Port to Decide on Charges
for River Towing.
RAILROAD END IS ARGUED
Board Is Told Vessel Owners Will
leeline to Conic Here Unless
Astoria .Differential Advan
tages Are Equalized.
Taxpayers of the Port of Portland
U!strict are not to be burdened with
the extra cost of towage and pilotage
on vessels of the grain fleet moving
between Portland and Astoria as a
result of the recent decision to give
Astoria equal rates with this city and
Puget Sound, if the Port of Portland
Commission .can prevent it.
Commissioner Alfred Tucker sounded'
a warning in that direction yesterday
when, he directed the attention of his
colleagues of the fact that vessel own
ers will demand that the differential
against Portland be taken care of, if
ships are to continue to come here. He
said that while Portland was rightfully
entitled to lower rates by virtue of her
location, the differential must be reck
oned with until such time as her rate
interests are settled.
Railroad End Argued.
Rather than the Port of Port
land should take care of the expense,
it was argued that railroads handling
wheat should meet the differential in
preference to paying for moving the
grain from Portland to Astoria, or
to Puget Sound.
In connection with problems having
to do with deep-sea trade of the port.
Commissioner O'Reilly revived the
matter of establishing coal bunkers
and said a suggestion had been made
that fuel be obtained in Australia, to
be transported on auxiliary schooners
of the McCormiok fleet, now building
at St. Helens, which are on charter on
completion to load lumber for the An
tipodes. Commissioners Tucker and
O'Reilly and Manager Wright are to
delve into the coaling feature again.
Communications were read from Cap
tain E. r. Parsons, one of the bar
pilots, who. with Pilot Charles 12. An
derson, were not included with Pilots
Hirsch. Swansen. Hansen and Lapping
as privileged to be carried aboard the
pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer when
she was returned to service recently by
the port, asking that he be given a
hearing before the commission and
vindicated of charges alleged to have
been made.
Kconomy Held Reason.
Tiie Port Commission took the stand
that there was nothing in the situation
to warrant a hearing, as no charges
had been made, and that the sole rea
son for not permitting more pilots
aboard the Pulitzer was one of econ
omy, as only a few ships are en route
here and four men could maintain the
service.
Manager Wright reported that Coos
Bay interests had sought information
as to. whether the dredge Portland
would be leased or sold, and the com
mission went on record as opposed to
leasing the machine to be taken from
the river. She was offered to the Port
of Bandon Commission January 30,
1915, for $50,000. and whether that fig
ure would apply now depends on ne
gotiations. Judge Arthur Langguth. who was
counsel for the Stundard American
Dredging Company before being ap
pointed on the Municipal bench, asked
that the commission extend the time
for paying a note of $12,000 executed
by his clients until May. volunteering
to pay one of $7300 today, though it
is not aue until inarch 25. Another note
for $910 is due in April. The exten
sion of time was allowed.
LIMIT OX WRECK SUITS ASKED
Owners of Santa Clara to Appeal to
Federal Court, Says Counsel.
MARSH FIELD, Or., March 9. (Spe
cial.) Robert O. Graves, attorney for
the North Pacific Steamship Company,
announced the company is filing a pe
tition for limitation of liability in the
United States District Court, sitting in
admiralty.
The petition is the outgrowth of the
steamship Santa Clara wreck, which
occurred here November 2, and will be
filed either at San Francisco or Port
land. Many claims have grown out
of the wreck, mostly for loss of freight.

but others are expected, since the total
loss of life was 12.
Today E. W. Sullivan, of this city,
filed a suit against the company for
J48 for housing survivors of the wreck.

OLIVPASK ENDS SLOW TRIP
Captain Osterhus Maintains Watch
ful Eye for Raiders on Brig.
One reason for the long voyage of
the Norwegian bark Olivebank was di
vulged by Captain Osterhus on the ar
rival of the ship yesterday. Under in
structions from the owner, who resides
in London, the vessel was ordered to
shape her course via the Cape of Good
Hope. Africa and Australia, so as to
avoid raiders.
After reaching the Antipodes, the
ship had head winds in making her
way northward and then berl berl at
tacked some of the crew, while one
man was the victim cf blood poison.
She made Callao so the sailors could
receive treatment. Off the Columbia
more rough weather was encountered.
Housomovcrs Salving Steamer.
Housemovers are making headway In
raising the sunken tuir Geo. W. Si
mons, at the foot of Flanders street,
where the vessel turned on her port
side during the high water. Heavy
timbers placed between the dock and
a barge furnish support for chains
under the vessel and with the aid of
jack screws she is being lifted. ' Other
than sediment on deck and smeared
over the superstructure and expected
minor damage to machinery, she is
not believed to be bady damaged.
Original Harbor Line Wanted.
Port of Portland Commissioners cling
to the stand taken &L a public hear-
lng February 14 that the proposed har
bor line to extend from Linnton to the
mouth of the Willamette River be as
originally recommended, even If land to
be included at Oillihan's must be pur
chased to obtain the width. Colonel
Potter Corps of Engineers, JJ. S. A.,
proposed a compromise ltne SO feet
nearer the present channel. At. a ses
sion of the Port of Portland yesterday
it was voted that the matter be taken
up again with Colonel Potter with the
hope that so long as the Port is willing
to deal with the upland owner the first
line be adhered to.

CAR OF DYNAMITE CHECKED
TER RACE WITH AUTO.
Paaaeneer In Dryad Yard Sidetracked
Vntil Runaway Is Captured by Lad
. Who Leaps From Car to Cab.
DRYAD, Wash., March 9. (Special.)
Two boys in an automobile, after
race through the railroad yards here
Tuesday night, captured and stopped a
runaway switch engine that was bump
ing a carload of dynamite on to the
main track following a passenger train
just leaving Doty. The train was side
tracked at Littei, and derailing crews
were sent out to catch the runaway.
Leaping from the automobile, one of
the boys jumped into the cab of the
engine and stopped its flight through
the yards just before it reached the
derailing point. Clyde Smoothers and
Roy Eubanks were in the machine.
The engine belonged to tBe Doty
Lumber & Shingle Company. As it
progressed through the yards it picked
up an empty stock car and proceeded
onto the main line of the Northern
Pacific. The agent at Dryad was in
structed to derail it. but decided to let
it pass through the town, fearing
disastrous explosion. Both cars were
badly damaged when the. engine was
stopped, and the explosive was scat
tered about the loaded car.
