Executive Place With Willys
Overland Is Rumored.
AUTO MAIM POPULAR HERE
Prominent Kesident Will Sever His
Business Connections Here to
Slake New Connection in
East Is Ills Assertion.
Frank C. Riggs. one of Portland's
most prominent automobile dealers
and a prominent citizen, la about to
terminate his residence here to accept
a position with the Willys-Overland
Company, .of Toledo, Ohio, according
to a well-deined report in automobile
circles, which is undoubtedly authentic.
Mr. Riggs refused last night to con
firm the report, but he admitted that
he had virtually concluded negotia
tions whereby he is to dispose of his
business interests in Portland to make
a new connection in the East.
It is understood that Mr. Riggs is to
have charge of the Interests of the
Willys-Overland Company in the West,
succeeding A. D. Plughoff. who re
signed recently. The fact that Mr.
Riggs has been Intimately acquainted
for many years with John North Willys
and Harry T. Dunn, president and vice
president, respectively, of the Willys
Overland Company, the second largest
automobile concern in the entire world,
lends credence to the report.
In all probability, Mr. Riggs will
make his headquarters at Toledo. Mr.
Rigs said last night his family will
not move from Portland for some time,
perhaps not until next Fall.
Mr. Riggs holds memberships in the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, the
Portland Ad Club, the Portland Realty
Board, the Arlington, Waverly and
Multnomah Clubs, the Portland Auto
mobile Club, and is lord high chan
cellor of the Rosarians.
It is understood that Mr. Riggs Is to
receive a block of stock in the Willys
Overland Company, by reason of his
association with the manufacturers ot
the Overland car, and it is certain that
he will command a large salary as the
company's administrative representa
tive in the West.

DRUG CLERK ACQUITTED
FROSECUTIO.V FALLS THROUGH IN
ALLEGED VIOLATION.
Cane Hlnsea Upon Amount of Alcohol
Sold, and Witness Wavers Anoth.
er Pharmacist to Be Tried.
Gordon Rosendorf. a clerk for the
Ausplund Drug Company, HO North
Sixth street, was acquitted on the
charge of having violated the prohi
bition law, by a jury in Municipal
'ourt yesterday afternoon. Attorney
Roger Sinnott appeared for the defense,
while Deputy District Attorney Pierce
conducted the prosecution.
The case hinged Upon the alleged af
fidavit entry, by Rosendorf, of 16
ounces of alcohol, sold to Edward
Fkunnard, while Skunnard maintained
that he had purchased and received one
quart. When Skunnard was arrested
for drunkenness he had a quart bottle,
almost empty, and without a label.
Skunnard proved to be a poor wit
ness for the state yesterday, and was
far from being positive in his state
ments. He was no longer certain of
the quantity of alcohol he had pur
chased, but believed that the bottle
had "looked like a quart."
The case against J. H. Murphy, phar
macist for tho Harrison Drug Company,
Sixth and Harrison streets, who is al
leged to have sold alcohol without
etiher license or affidavits, will be
heard on Saturday, The defendant is
at liberty under $250 bail.

he was taking an active part in tha
contest for Speaker of the House in the
next Legislature.
"I have taken and will take," said tho
executive, "absolutely no part in the
House or Senate contests. I have high
regard for the several candidates In the
race, all of whom happen to be personal
friends of mine. But beyond that I be
lieve that the--Legislature should be
free to effect its own organization
without interference or pressure from
the executive.
"My hope is that the two houses
may effect their organization promptly,
followed by the passage of wholesome,
constructive legislation of credit and
profit to the state."

Altogether the PnM'" Welfare Bureau

today, from all of its wards up to its
managing committee and particularly
in Its finance committee.
The reports at the luncheon yester
day from members of the finance com

those of either of the preceding days,

The plaintiff is tne motner ot alio

10 TALE TOLD
Woman Virtual Slave for Love
" of Children.
MAN IS HELD IN JAIL
Common-Law Wife Also Detained
While Story of "Long, Miserable
Illegal Relationship Is
Being Investigated.
Nine years of virtual slavery for a
man she had learned to fear and hate,
but who held her through her love for
her children, were marshaled before
Deputy District Attorney Dempsey yes
terday In the story of Mrs. Margaret
Nost, who was lodged in the County
Jail with Walter Miller, a cook, on an
Immorality charge. Their case is set
for trial tomorrow.
It was a sordid tale, but one leav
ened b the love of the mother for her
children, which compelled hex to sub
mit to the Ill-treatment of the man
with whom she was living for fear, if
she exposed him, the court wonld take
awayher children.
More than 10 years ago, Mrs. Nost
married Ambrose Nost, a bartender, in
Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. His drunken
ness and abuse made life for her un
bearable, and the following year she
deserted him, taking with her the two
children of a former marriage. Khe
has never heard from him since, and a
divorce suit which she brought was not
prosecuted.
Common I,aw Marriage Agreed.
Mrs. Nost came to Portland seeking
employment. Here she made the ac
quaintance of Miller, who was then a
cook on the t)ramer Telephone. Being
assured by him that three years of life
with him would constitute a legal, com
mon law marriage, she said, she agreed
to keep house for him and they took
up their residence at Third and Colum
bia streets.
The years that followed were years
of dejection and misery. She found
out that she was not the legal wife of
Miller, but two children had been born
and she was afraid to report the case
to the authorities for fear the young
sters would be taken from her.
Miller refused to marry her. and
compelled her to support herself and
children at a time when he was draw
ing a good salary, declared Mrs. Nost.
She asserted he would not permit her
to seek the companionship of her near
est neighbors, i discuss their relation
ships wl(h anyone, or go on pleasure
trips of an evening with him.
Family Once Deaerted.
During the cold snap of last Winter.
Miller is said to have deserted the
woman, and only the prompt aid of
charitable organizations saved her and
the children from starvation. After an
absence of several months he returned
to her, and resumed his former treat
ment. "It was worse than slavery and 1
stood it until I could no longer,"
sobbed the woman, yesterday. She
finally reported the case to the au
thorities, and both were take" to the
County Jail until the court could make
disposition of the case. The children
were placed in the Louise Home and
their future is In the hands pf the Ju
venile Court.
Miller Is a well-dressed man of 3
years, and has been employed at vari
ous restaurants about town for several
years. Mrs. Nost Is 38 and shows the
marks of years of hardships. She has
been living at 746 Michigan avenue.
Miller may have to choose between
marriage and jail, if Mrs. Nost can se
