ated by jealousy, fired three shots yes
terday In an attempt on the life of
M. A. Powell, a rancher near Wood
land. Wash.. Powell, with a bullet
wound In his right shoulder and an
other In his right thigh, was taken
to 6t. Vincent's Hospital, by the Am
bulance Service. His condition Is not
considered to be serious. v
Within a half hour after the shoot

Eighty-seventh street. Montavilla, Es
tabrook was arrested " by Detective,
Captain Baty and Detectives T. Swen
nes and P. Moloney. With him was
taken Mrs. Josephine Marie Simpson,
aged 81, for whose favor Estabrook Is
said to have drawn the revolver.
Arrest Is Asked For.
Estabrook voluntarily reported the
shooting to Police Captain Moore, over
the telephone, shortly after 2 o'clock.
His voice was excited and almost un
intelligible as he asked that patrolmen
be sent to take him to the police sta
tion. "I've shot a man out here." he said,
giving the address. "Come and get me."
"Why did you . shoot him?" queried
Captain Moore.
"O, I don't know why I did It," came
Estabrook's response.
Estabrook told Detective Captain Baty
and Detectives Swennes and Moloney
that Mrs. Simpson had broken her
promise to become his wife, and was
about to marry Powell. Maddened by
jealousy he fired the shots. His weap
on was a .38-caliber revolver. Three
shots were aimed at - Powell, one of
them going wild. A fourth cartridgej
reiuseu lire.
Woman In Divorced.
He had met Mrs. Simpson in 1913,
Estabrook said, when she was con-4
ducting- a lodging house at Twenty
eighth and Division streets. Since that
time he had considered that an under
standing existed between them, and
that some day they would be married.
Mrs. Simpson obtained a divorce from
her husband, Robert Simpson, also a
rancher of Woodland, In that year.
Mrs. -Simpson described the events
that led up to the near tragedy. Pow.
ell arrived from Woodland yesterday
morning, she said, and she was to ac
company him on his return. They
were to be married. Estabrook threat
,ened her life if she attempted to
leave, she asserted, but she continued
her preparations and was upstairs
packing when she heard the shots fired
at Powell in a room below.
She ran down, saw the stricken man'
stagger outdoors and aided him to a
neighboring- house. It was there that
Estabrook sent his message to the po
nce, alter tne nysterical womajj had
made an ineffectual attempt to tele
phone. , Promise to Wed Admitted.
"When I first met Estabrook." Mrs.
Simpson said, "I agreed to marry him,
after waiting the requisite six months
following his divorce decree. In the
meantime I was employed by Esta
brook as his housekeeper. At one time
I think it was in 1913 my divorced
husband came from Woodland to plead
with me to return, for the sake of our
son, Thomas, who is now 14 years old.
Estabrook's Jealousy was aroused by
the visit and he drew a revolver. As
he fired at Mr. Simpson I sprang be
tween them and struck the gun aside.
Mr. Simpson ran from the house and
escsped."
Later she did return to Woodland
and for a time remained on the ranch
with her divorced husband, Mrs. Simp
son said. To influence her return,
Estabrook purchased the Montavilla
property and erected the home. More

Ex-Husband Killed In Accident.
Because Estabrook threatened both
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, she said, the
divorced husband recommended that
she return to Estabrook until they
could arrange to sell the Woodland
property and leave the country. But
an accident claimed the husband's life
In September, 1914, and Mrs. Simpson
again went back to the Woodland ranch
to look after the property rlghtg of
her son. Thomas, in the estate.
While at Woodland she stayed at the
Powell home as the guest of M. A.
Powell's mother and the new friendship
ripened until she became engaged to
the rancher. Two weeks ago she came
back to ,the Montavilla cottage, de
termined to end her association with
Estabrook. Powell followed her, by
prearranged plan, and the shooting took
place.
Threat to Kill Reported.
"I told him If he was not satisfied
that I would deed the property back to
him," said Mrs. Simpson, "but he in
slsted that he would kill me If I left

The prisoner Is pitiably shaken by
remorse for his act and refused to dis

ter Is Introduced.
Richard Lonsdale, whose dramatic
but Incoherent letterof farewell to his
wife was a vital bit of evidence in his
preliminary hearing before District
Judge Jones, was indicted by the grand
Jury yesterday for failure to support
his wife, Hildegard Lonsdale.
Lonsdale, who is a vaudevillian on a
small time circuit, sent his wife to visit
her relatives in Seattle, and Instead of
sending her money to return on wrote
her a long letter, studded with dra
matic phrases and heart thfobs, but
which said in effect, "I'm going to leave
you for good. Don't try to find me."
He was arrested in Heppner.
Two things which went a long way
to Induce District Judge Jones to ex
tend no sympathy to the prisoner, were
the two pretty twin children, Richard,
Jr., and Elsie, aged 4, who were de
serted also. On .the witness stand
Lonsdale said he had been married four
times, and that he had been living un
der an assumed name for nearly 18
years. He declared that his true name
was Le Grande, though he had married
under the name of Lonsdale.
John G. Terry, manager of the Hlrsch
Weis Manufacturing Company, was In
dicted in the report of tne grand Jury
yesterday for employing a woman at
inadequate wages. He had been pay
ing Anna Billings $7 a week, when the
minimum wage for an experienced
worker Is $8.64. His defense before
District Judge Bell was that the young
woman was an apprentice, because she
had not worked more than a year at
the particular machine on which she
was employed, though it was admitted
that she had operated a somewhat sim.
liar power machine in the employ of
another firm for more than a year.

Members of the board who listened
to Mr. Kerchen's story yesterday smiled
irequently at his delineation of the
charges that were brought aaglnet him
for being of Socialistic and atheistic
tendencies. They smiled when he told
them he was charged with being So
cialistic because he had recommended
as part of the course of study of his
teachers Thurston's industrial history.

and high schools.
In the event that the complainants
accept the invitation of the inquisitor

mony, nothing definite will be done by
the board for some time yet.
"We do not wish to impugn the ac
tion of the Board of Education in dis

of the Board that led to the dismissal."

OREGON' CITY, Or.. June 26. (Spe

In amount to be spent, Mllwaukie

Legal Points Introduced to Show That
Decree Against J. 91. Level
la Not Warranted.
A motion to set aside the decree
sending James M. Level to the county
Jail for failure to pay a note for $1043,
fraud being alleged In the non-payment,
was filed in the Circuit Court
by his attorney, William P. Lord, yes
terday. Level was committed by an
execution against the body in June,
1915.
The note is due John Level, an in
mate of San Quentin. who has pre
tended relationship to the man in the
Portland Jail. It is now contended that
the San Quentin prisoner's true name
is ieavel and that be in not a cousin.
The motion filed yesterday is based
on the grounds that while fraud is al
leged in the decree, no fraud was- al
leged in the pleadings of the case, and
because Judge Hamilton, who signed
the decree, failed to notify Attorney
Lord. Another ground was that the
case was held before a referee and was
not concluded until 15 days after the
tenure of Judge Hamilton as a visiting
Judge in the Multnomah County Cir
cuit Court.
The imprisonment for debt was ren
dered legal by reason of fraud allega
tions, but It is now contended that
these allegations were not set forth in
the papers of the case.

Mrs. Margaret Goggins, aged 89, Ijappy
ones, her two children have become
estranged over property left by their
dead father, and received a rebuke
from County Judge Cleeton yesterday.
The petition of the daughter, Mrs.
Margaret W'ley, to have a guardian
appoluted for her mother, because of a
recent gift of Mrs. Goggins to her son,
W. E. Goggins, was denied, for Judge
Cleeton found that Mrs. Goggins
showed no signs of Incompetency and
as she had given all her property to
her son, she no longer had an estate
of her own.
The mother and two children were
heirs to a $13,000 estate, of which the
mother received one-half, and the re
maining half was divided among the
children. Recently Mrs. Goggins agreed,
in writing, to turn over all her share
of her property to her son on condi

then filed a petition to have a guard

Feature Film, and Then Invited
to Danoe on the Stage.
On Wednesday and Thursday nights
the Heillg Theater will be under the
management of the Shriners of Al Ka-
der Temple, who will offer the Port
land public something out of the usual
in entertainment.
While the programme will begin with
concerts by the Shriners' band at 8:15,
followed by the first exhibition of 3000
feet of film, all taken in Portland and
vicinity, it is the last feature of the
evening that is confidently counted
upon to meet with instant popular fa
vor. After the picture the curtain will
rise on a stage decked with greenery
in pergola fashion, and the audience
will be urged to join in the dancing
which will begin at that time. The
Shriners have caused a new hardwood
floor to be laid on the stage, expressly
for the occasion, and the dancing sur
face will leave nothing to be desired.
Refreshments will be served at booths
arranged at the rear of the stage.
Concerning the pictures, it may be
predicted that the film will create a
sensation when it Is publicly shown
at Buffalo next month, on the occa
sion of the Imperial Council session.
It is believed that the film will have
great Influence in persuading the se
lection of portiana,ior tne session.
The film depicts scenes along the
Columbia Highway on the occasion of
the recent visit of local Shriners to
Multnomah Falls, scenes from the MV
Festival at Multnomah Field and the
Rose Festival parade, many of Port
land's beautiful residences and scenes
of city life and Industry.
