In the. meantime, pending a hearing, the return of the execution on Mr. Sheppard's property Ja held up by a temporary Injunction. C. A. Sheppard Injunction on Property Sale Answered. LETTER DECLARED FRAUD Omission of Essential Paragraphs of Court's Decree and XTse of Forged Installment Agree ment Also Are Charged. Not only did Chester A. Sheppard fall to set out all the essential paragraphs of & decree upon which was based an execution which resulted in the sale of his Irvlngton home and other prop erty by the Sheriff, but a letter or stip ulation referred to in his petition for an injunction recently was never signed by the woman whose purported signature it bore are the assertions of Charles E. Lenon in his answer to the Injunction proceedings filed in the Cir cult Court yesterday. Attorney Sheppard contended In his complaint that his property, valued at 30,000, had been sold for $505 under the Sheriff's hammer without his knowledge and illegally. He maintained that the decree of Judge Gatens in an equity case which quieted the title of certain property merely affirmed that he owed 1440, which could be paid off in monthly In stallments. He said this 1 was not In the nature of a Judgment against him. to pay which his property could be levied upon. Installment Agreement Alleged. Further, he asserted that he held a letter from Mrs. Malinda A. Mitchell to whom the money was due, agreeing to the payment by installments of $20 a month, beginning with July, 1916. By reason of these things he held that his property had not been sold under due process of law. Attorney Lenon. in his answer, cites a paragraph of Judge Gatens' decree which, he saye. Mr. Sheppard failed to note for the purpose of deceiving the court. This paragraph refers to the payment by Mr. Sheppard of $420 and Interest ax 6 per cent from December 20.. 1913. It was a consent decree. Letter Reported Repudiated. MrB. Mitchell is said to repudiate any letter or stipulation regarding terms of payment by installments. Mr. Sheppard, however, is accused by Mr. Lenon of failing even to keep the forms of the pretended stipulation. He raid $25 In July, nothing In August, 315 In September and proffered 20 in Oc tober. which was refused. Mr. Lenon asserts that he demanded payment of the entire amount under TOTS REPEAT PLAY BARBER'S ESTATE SOUGHT Custodian of Murdered Man's Child JFiles Application.

Many were the ex pressions of regret heard today on the death of David A. Turner, who died suddenly yesterday morning. Mr. Turner celebrated hie 80th birthday on September 21.

Mrs. EM Rand, of Baker, and a grand daughter. Miss Ethel Turner Rand, who Is a student of music in Portland. 2 e Concordia Club was the scene of nteresting festivity yesterday afternoon when the children' of the Temple Beth Israel Sunday school en Joyed the production of Mrs. Paul Lebenbaum's playlet, "Maccabean Days." This was followed by the serv ing or ice cream and candies. In every detail the play faithfully depicted the days of the period 165 years before the Christian era. The first scene showed a street In Modeln outside the templei Next was shown a Syrian camp and the last, 'an Impres sive scene was the Interior of the temple. In each of these the children In the cast did remarkably well, show ing that they possessed talent and were well-trained. Dancing In Special Feature. An especial attraction was the danc ing by Carolyn Levy and Elizabeth Ottenheimer. two pretty little girls, one In blue and the other in pink. They represented Syrian dancing girls. The final scene In the temple was effective ly staged. Several beautiful girls appeared first and as they decorated the temple and the branched candlestick they sang and conversed. Edith Mosorosky, as Miriam, made an exceellent impression rfy her grace and the pleasing qualities of her sweet, rich voice. Evelyn Welnstock was clever as Sarah: Ruth Herns, as Leah, and Jeannette Robinson, as Han nah. The tiny Jewish children who marched In to light the candles and who each recited a Scriptural passage, were lrreslstlbleiy lovely. Little Elsa Wise, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Jonah B. Wise. Estelle Welnsteln, David Fertlg, Roy Cohen and Jane Boyer were Included In this attractive group ofllttle people. Characters Well Interpreted. Leland Loewenson did good work as the high priest and Lawrence Franklin, as Judas Maccabeus. Newton Langer man was a stately Syrian soldier and Shirley Baron was a messenger who brought word of a mighty conflict with the enemy. Others who won honors were Gladys Miller, who recited PLEA FOR RETRIAL FAILS W. J. Prendergast to Bef Sentenced for Misuse of Mull-. Federal Judge Wolverton yesterday denied William J..

(Special.) Mrs. L. H. Fish was elected worthy matron of Barzlllal Chapter. No. 16. Order of the Eastern Star, of this city, in the annual election last night and Charles H. Wieder was re-elected worthy patron. Other officers were named as follows: Associate matron, Mrs. Mary Hi lye i: conductress, Mrs. G. T. Hockensmlth: associate con ductress. Mrs. Alton B. Coates: sec retary, Mrs. J. S. Van Winkle, treas urer. Mrs. S. E. Watson; trustees, Mrs. J. K. Weatherford, Mrs. R. K. Ohling and Mrs. George Taylor; trustee to rep resent the order In the Masonic Build ing Association, F. M. Redfleld. Enactment of Measure Would Give Commissioners Power to Plx Assessment Districts f.r Work Passing City Limits. A bill to be submitted to the Legisla ture providing a means of the city and the county Joining in the construction of sewer systems extending partly through me county and partly throuah the city was considered at a spectal meeting of the City Council yesterday. It will be checked over by each member of the Council prior to being sent to the Leg islature. The enactment of the bill would give the County Commissioners the right to form assessment districts for sewer projects and to Issue bonds on the strength of Hens against property to finance the construction. At present the County Board has no such power. As a consequence, three large and important sewer projects in Portland are being held In abeyance. Johnson Creek Sewer Is One. One is the proposed Johnson Creek sewer, which would take up the flow of Johnson Creek and furnish a sewerage outlet for the Lents, Mount Scott. Mll waukie and other sections. Such a sew er would take up the entire flow of Johnson Creek and would eliminate the danger of floods such as were experi enced early this year, when a vast area was under water. Another project at stake Is that for a sewerage system In the Peninsula district. To construct a system there would entail considerable construction beyond the city limits. The only way this can be done Is for a Joint system of assessments Inside and outside the city, or for an assess ment of the entire cost against property within the city. Third Is Balch Creek Project. The third project is. tie Balch Creek trunk sewer, which is designed to drain a vast area on the West Side, partly outside the city. At present the city has the right to build sewers up to the city limits and to assess the cost against the property benefited, but ir cannot extend the sewers beyond the city limits unless the cost is borne by general taxation. In building large trunk sewers the city has to be careful for natural surface drainage from the outside districts and can assess the cost against the Inside property, but not against any property outside the city. The bill has been drafted by Deputy City Attorney Latourette and City Com missioner Dieck. The Council after a discussion of the measure yesterday ar ranged for copies to be submitted to each member for checking over. A number of suggestions will be consid ered before the measure Is finally approved. PRIEST'S ESTATE IN COURT 'Mther Ostein, Accident Victim, Leaves $2000 to Archbishop.
