PLEAS OF JO AVAIL
Convivial Farewell Brings
: Party Into Court.
LANDLADY DEFENDS MAN
Goodbye Visit, However, Costs $10
.Fine Woman of Underworld
Asks Leniency Because
T: ' or Her Children.
I
Two women made pleas before the
Municipal Court yesterday. One asked
that the sentence of the court against
her friend be set aside. The other
wanted a chance to remain in Port
land and complete a 'millinery course,
that she might' keep her children in
school. Both were women of the under
world.
i Krick Johnson was goins to the
mines and had announced his depar
ture to North End friends. Someone
told him. that "Goldie" wanted him
to come and say good-bye. When the
woman ran a rooming-house. Erick had
rented one of her rooms for more than
year. So, on the eve of his leaving,
he bethought himself iof "Goldie" and
his obligation of friendship.
In certain circles of North End so
ciety there is a fine disregard for
ronventional speech. They carry oh
.their gossip with an Elizabethan, free
dom from all restraint. In "Goldie's''
room, the officers say, the anecdotes
were racy and the comment rancid,
'rhey listened for a time, then entered
the place.
Convivial Signs Found.
TTpon the tables were several emptied
freer bottles and foam-smirched glasses.
A haze of cigarette smoke luing about
"Goldie." her friend "Maude," and
Krick, who had come to bid his former
landlady farewell.
This is the story that was told In
Municipal Court. Judge Langguth, who
hears 60 'of similar sort through the
month, rebuked Erick for the company
he kept. The young man flushed. He
mumbled rebelliously when he heard
the words, "Ten dollars."
Up from a seat in the audience
sprang "Goldie," whose own case had
been postponed y the absence of her
attorney. Blonde and rouged and con
fidently comely, she reached the bar
and stood before the court.
"Your honor," she said, "this man
does not deserve a fine. He roomed
with me for a long time and I asked
him to come and say good-bye. He is
a laborer, a hard-working man. He
can't afford it." Just for an instant
her bold blue eyes lowered, then lifted
again. "As for me," concluded the
woman, "well, so far as Im concerned
it's different, I guess."
The fine stood.
Other Woman Worried.
There was no boldness In the atti
tude of the other woman, whoso name
Anna. Her face was white with
worry and her grey eyes were filled
with fear. "When she spoke the words
were scarcely audible.
Yes, she said, "I have. But, your
honor, 1 cant always get enough
sewing to keep the children in the
country. They go to school there, both
of them." A throat spasm held her
speech.
My husband? O. we don t live to
gether. I don't know where he is,"
she wearily replied to another ques
tion.
Then the court told her that she
must mend her ways or leave the city
She did not simulate the fright that
followed close on the words.
"I can't leave town." she Implored.
"I can't leave my studies. I'm taking
a course in millinery and the children
must stay m the country.
Anna was fined $10.

Oregon Industry Is Attracting Wide
Attention In East and Letters of
Inquiry Are Received.
Oregon's flax plantation this year
will comprise a total of nearly 1000
acres, and the news of the activity the
state is taking in this industry has al
ready attracted interest and inquiry
from important concerns in the East-

of Commerce, furnished an article on
Oregon's flax enterprises, which ap

the enterprise.
Six hundred acres of flax is planted

seed procured "from the state. The flax
will be harvested by convicts and the

tivation of which is under direction of
Eugene Bosse, the flax expert.
