Be Asked to Send Attendant
Today to Take Woman to
Salem (or Treatment.
Harriet Kinney, daughter of M. J.
Kinney, a prominent and wealthy tim
berman of this city, was taken into
custody at her apartments In the Mult
nomah Hotel yesterday for commit
ment to the State Hospital at Salem
on the findings of an insanity com
mission which investigated her mental
condition last month.
The county authorities this morning
will request Dr. R. E. Lee steiner, su
perintendent of the State Hospital, to
send an attendant to take the woman
to that institution. ,
The case of Miss Kinney was first
brought to the attention of the authori
ties August 9. upon complaint of
Charles B. Welter, postoffice Inspector
for this district. Mr. Welter had
traced to the woman responsibility for
mailing hundreds of postcards, bear
ing scurrilous messages and directed
against President Wilson, which she
had sent to wealthy citizens in various
parts of the United States.
lresldents Picture om Card
Most of these messages were written
en postcards on one side of which ap
peared the likeness of President Wil
son and the American flag.
At the time of her first detention.
Miss Kinney, with the assistance of
her father, succeeded in eluding Mrs.
Kdna Xobbins. matron of the County
Jail, and "Deputy Sheriff Ward, who
called at the woman's apartments in
the Multnomah Hotel to escort her to
the Courthouse for examination as to
her sanity.
Threatened with arrest for interfer

fore the commission, consisting of Dr.
K. D. Patton and Dr. S. E. Josephi.
who adjudged her insane after a
thorough examination.
Judge Tazwell agreed to parole Miss
Kinney to her father with the under
standing that within two weeks she
should be taken out of the state and
that in the meantime she should re
main constantly in the care of an at
tendant. 31 ore Cards Are Reported
William F. Spencer, special agent
for the county, yesterday said that
neither of these conditions had been
fulfilled by the father, while the
daughter. Immediately following her
parole and continuing daily, had re
sumed the offense of mailing countless
numbers of objectionable postcards,
unmistakably manifesting an unbal
anced mind.
After receiving numerous complaints
from the postal authorities, Mr. Spencer
yesterday caused Miss KLnney to be
taken into custody. This was' accom
plished quietly by the County Jail
matron. Mrs. Dobbins, accompanied by

Famed Blind Artist Does Sot Play by
Ear, bat Commit! Eaaa Note
to Memory.
BY JOSEPH MACQTJEEN.
Francis Richter, the blind piano
artist who is to appear in two recitals
in the Heilig Theater, tomorrow night
and Saturday afternoon, is decidedly
uncommunicative when it comes to
talking about himself.
Hearing that Mr. Richter is going to
leave us, I called on him last night and
asked him if the report was true.
' I suppose so, said Mr. Richter. "My
departure for New York is contingent

upon the public support I get at my
two recitals in the Heilig this week.
If I have large audiences and the artis
tic results are satisfactory my man
ager, Paul Derringer, and I shall go
ahead with our plans to invade New
York. riow, it is up to the public
"The time has come when, if possible.
I should think about leaving Portland
for a larger field of music I have made
y way in this city and people have
really been kind to me they have been
and are lovely but I have suffered
loss often in a financial sense by a
widespread erroneous belief in this city
that when I play on the piano I play
by ear and not by note. This is non
sense. No wonder my business as a
piano instructor has suffered.
1 play from music scores, and not
by ear. I have the same methods as
the big piano artists. First, I read by
means of the raised letters used by the
blind, and then I memorize each note,
each bar Just the same as an actor
memorizes the part he is to play on
the stage.
"Would you Insist on an actor read
ing from his score when he acts in
public? Of course not. I want the
same chance as the actor. When I
memorize my score, the notes become
a part of me. I can't forget them. I
hope the point is clear, at last, that I
am a serious artist who plays from the
actual notes of music scores.
Mr. Richter's piano activities do not
occupy all his time. He is a poet, a
writer ox short stories, and a scientific
worker in radio electrical effects. And
Mr. Richter was a favorite piano pupil
of the great virtuoso, Leachetizky, of
Vienna.
Mr. Richter's four favorite phrases
are:
I live.
I f eel.
I love.
I learn.
Chairman Benson Explains That
Pacific Highway on East Side of
River Is Most Direct Route
and "Will Be Built First.
SHERIDAN, Or., Sept. 19. (Special.)
Notices were sent throughout Yam
hill County today by O. W. Maglll. of
McMlnnville, secretary of the County
Good Roads Association, calling a spe
cial mass meeting of every citizen in
the county In McMlnnville next Teus
day night for the purpose of consider
ing what action shall be taken as a re
sult of a recent statement which Mr.
Magill today said had been made by
S. Benson, chairman of the State High
way Commission, to the effect that the
West Side Pacific Highway would not
be paved.
He said Mr. Benson gave as a rea
son too much expense to the state as a
result of the compromise effected re
cently by the County Courts of Polk
and Yamhill, which placed the high
way through Ballston by way of Belle
vue and Salt Creek. The law specific
ally states that the highway shall be
paved, said Mr. Magill, and the meet
ing Tuesday is to determine what ac
tion the West Siders shall take and
whether or not to start mandamus pro
ceedings. The endeavor will also be
made to get co-operation with the other
West Side counties.
Mr. Benson Makes Reply.
It is not correct that the Highway
Commission, or myself, have taken the
stand that the West Side Pacific High
way shall not be paved," said S. Ben
son, chairman of the Commission, last
night. "If Mr. Magill, or others in
Yamhill County have gained that Im
pression, it has been due to misunderstanding.
The Commission takes the view that
Inasmuch as the route selected by the
West Side counties, via Ballston. is not
a direct highway, but a road of local
Importance only, the East Side Pacific
Highway, which is & direct road, should
take precedence.
Direct Trunk Road Comes First.
"The Commission must consider the
Interests of the state as a whole before
those of any locality. And the inter
ests of the state as a whole require that
direct trunk road must be constructed
and paved to connect up the Pacific
Highway before a road of local impor
tance, such as the West Side road via
Ballston.
The West Side counties will get their
proportionate amount of paving in pro
portion to the amount they pay into
the state highway fund. None of the
$,000,000 bond issue is to be expended
in Multnomah County, hence the
amount of the fund that comes from
that county is extra money. The. best
Interests of the state require that this
Multnomah County portion be expended
only on the direct roads.
Newbera" Road Contract I.rt.
"The Commission has let the con
tract and work is now progressing for
the paving this year of the road from
the Multnomah County line to Newberg,
in Yamhill County. This road la direct
ly beneficial to Yamhill County and
should be consdered as proof that the
Commission is looking after the inter
ests of that county.
'Next year -money In proportion to
the amount paid into the fund by Yam
hill County will be expended on the
paving of the road via Ballston. The
Commission has never taken the stand.
nor have I, that this road is not to be
paved, but merely that the paving of
the direct i-ast Side route must take
precedence because of its great im
portance to the state as a whole.

Farm Tractors, Which Are Coming
Into General Use, Will Be on
Display and Fast Horses
Will Show Their Speed.
W. H. Savage, president of the Ore
gon State Fair Association, with Mrs.
Savage, of Salem, is registered at the
Imperial Hotel this week. While Mr.
Savage is not in Portland for the ex
press purpose of boosting- the coming
fair, September 24-29, he is always
ready to assure one that the coming
event will far surpass any of the pre
vious years.
"The agricultural ana livestock: ex
hibit this year will be one of the best
In the history of the fair," said Mr.
Savage last night. "In the livestock
exhibit will be the famous Carnation
herd of thoroughbreds from Seattle
and the John L. Smith herd of blooded
Holsteins from Spokane.
Tractor to Be Saom,
"Farm tractors, which are now
springing into prominence with farm
ers for all kinds of work, will also be
on exhibition in large numbers. There
will be daily demonstrations of all
makes of machines and this will be of
great interest to persons from the rural
districts.
"Agricultural exhibits will be sub-
mitted from 23 counties of the state
and should offer a fine display of farm
products. With the Berkshire Congress
in session at the fair this year, we
should have a fine exhibit of hogs. The
Boys' Pig Club of Oregon is simply
swamping us with exhibits and it is
keeping us busy finding room for them.
"The racing programme this year
offers some of the best cards ever of
fered on the track at Salem. With a
dry track there should be some rec
ords broken by such animals as White
Sox, Helen Mistletoe. Bertie Seattle and
Hal Norte. We have appropriated $16,
600 for prizes and this will tempt some
of the fastest horses in the Northwest
to the fair."
Portland Police to Play.
There is also a long list of special
attractions offered by the fair board
this year. The Portland Police Band
will furnish music on Saturday, Patri
otic day, and patriotic addresses will be
delivered by Mayor George L. Baker, of
Portland, and Henry E. McGinn.
Tlu fair is slated to open its gates
next Monday, but with the American
Scandinavian patriotic festivities start
ing Sunday the programme will n
reality start on that day.
With the present weather holding
sway the attendance at this year's fair
promises to exceed that ot previous
years.

Charge of Fraud and 511 representation
of Value of Property by De
fendant Is Alleged.
Dissatisfied stockholders in the Bay
ocean Natatorium Company, through
their attorneys, Ridgway & Johnson,
yesterday brought suit in the Circuit
Court against the T. B. Potter Realty
Company and S. B. Vincent, its receiver.
ror 170,000: The officers of the defendant-
company are charged with
fraud in the alleged misrepresentation
of the value of property that was
turned over in payment of its share of
the stock in the natatorium corpora
tion. It is charged in the complaint that
the officers and directors of the T. B.
Potter Realty Company, in promoting
the sale of real estate owned by that
company at Bayocean, decided to estab
lish a large natatorium at that point
as a further inducement to prospective
investors. The officers and directors
of the realty company, it is alleged, or
ganized the Bayocean Natatorium Com
pany with a capital stock of $150,000,
retaining 60 per cent of the stock and
the controlling interest, the remaining
$75,000 of stock being offered to the
general public.
Representing that the property was
worth $75,000, the amount of stock it
voted to itself, the realty company
turned over to the newly formed com
pany five lots at Bayocean, a lighting
plant and an electric light franchise, in
full payment for its stock. The com
plainants allege that the value of the
property so delivered to the natatorium,
corporation actually did not exceed
$5000. They ask for judgment for the
difference, or $70,000.
