THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 21, 1903. S THEY LIVE APART I Edgar E. Sutro Cannot Obtain a Divorce. NEITHER CAN HIS WIFE GETONE Besides FToperry Given. Hei? Mm. gntro la Airaxded S125 a. 3CoBtb .Alimony and the Custody of Their Yobbp Son. BAN FRANCISCO, June 20. Superior Judge Hebbard has concluded his estima tion as to how much permanent alimony Henrietta Sutro Is entitled to from the wealth of her husband, Edgar E. Sutro, son of the late Adolph Sutro, millionaire Mayor of San Francisco and builder of the Comstock tunnel. She sued him for divorce on a charge of Infidelity several weeks ago, "but the court decided against her because she lad allowed Sutro's of fenses to go unnoticed for seven years. The husband then sought decree on cross complaint, charging Jls. Sutro with de sertion, but he, too, was nonsuited, be cause he was not a resident of the state. He Is. now a resident of Portland, Or- The couple were thus compelled to remain husband and wife, although both had grounds for divorce -and each wanted a decree. The only question left for de cision was as to how much money the wife was entitled to for support. Sutro has a one-sixth interest in the es tate of his father. His share Is estimated to be worth about $350.0&0, but some years ago he gave his wife property which brings an Income of about J200 a month. Taking these facts Into consideration, and also the fact that Mrs. Sutro has the custody and support of their 14-year-old son during the lad'e minority, the court awarded Mrs. Sutro alimony for life of $123 per month and the sum of $300 counsel fees.

They finally reach the stgo where they are enabled to construct their own electric switchboard which supplies I mo necessary current io any pan oi ins room, or, perhaps, build a dynamo. They have done that more than once. On the top floor Is the forge room, with ita circle of anvils. . On one of the lower floors is the wood working shop, where, in the senior year the boys do advance work with the turning lathes, molding, casting or cabinet work, and construction work in carpentry, among other things. Sometimes the boy calls forth his creative spirit and fashions a Morris chair, a table, a hand-carved wooden vase, or an article showing equal skill, out of the rough ma terial before him. These articles are placed on exhibition yearly, for the bene fit of friends and relatives, and are also kept filed away on shelves, each bearing the workman's name, so that It may be seen how far the boys have progressed during the year. There are other shops and classrooms no less Interesting, which would take con siderable space to. describe. The work carried on in all of them is marked by the constant attention and earnestness of the pupils In what Is before them. There Is no disorder anywhere, but each boy handles his tools as if what he Is doing at the moment is the immediate object of his life. Work of a Jevriah Technical School WhoHc Graduates Succeed. New York Evening Sun. The Hebrew Technical Institute has now been In existence In New York nearly 20 years, and In that time it has laid the foundation of a thorough technical train ing in many Jewish boys boys whose suc cessful business careers testify to the value of what the institute did for them in opening wide various avenues of em ploment, in laying the groundwork which ultimately secured for them positions as skilled artisans, pattern-makers, electrical and mechanical engineers, draughtsmen or in other branches. Some of these boys hold places today where they draw lucra tive salaries. Several of them earn an annual income of $5000. One boy only a few months out of the school, who was not yet 20 years old, was set over college graduates In one of the important me chanical bureaus of a great railroad. A prominent foundry, deprived of the ser vices of one of the. school's graduates as foreman in Its pattern shop, sought ea gerly among the institute's boys for some one to fill his place. Many other instances of a like nature, showing the influence of the school, might be mentioned. The school stands at Si and 36 Stuyve eant street, which Is on the lower East Side of town, and half of Its boys come from the tenement districts Immigrants or native born. Nearly all the rest come from the two Jewish colonics uptown. Lately, however, the school has been made nonsectarlan, and many gentile names may be found on its rolls. The school was established in a very small way in November, 1SS3, and "Is supported by the voluntary contributions of members of the Jewish community, aided by an annual donation from the Hebrew Benevolent and Orphan Asylum." For the last five or six years It has occu pied the. five-story building on Stuyvesant street. A trip through the many workshops and classrooms at the time when they are buzzing with the noise of machinery, echo ing with the sound of the hammer or filled with the musical droning of the big dynamos, discloses many groups of boys, each intent on some particular class of work. Hero Is the metal working shop, pretty well occupied by belted machinery and long rows of work benches decorated with an array of vises and other tools. There Is here a power saw for cutting metal which was constructed by the boys them selves. It 6tops automatically when the cutting process is finished. They have also made other intricate machinery in the room. The school's course extends over three years, and the last one is devoted to spe cializing, the boy spending most of his time on whatever subject he elects to pursue after he leaves school. In the metal working shop, for Instance, the boy has first to learn how to handle his tools. As one of the teachers ex pressed It: "He doesn't know the difference, you might say. between a pile-driver and a hammer, when he first. uses one." So he Is taught simple "chipping" exercises to start out with, then how to make a hexagon-shaped block out of steel, and finally advances so far that he may make a very creditable model of an anvil or a small hammer. After that comes the con struction of steel cutters and other articles requiring a skillful hand and a true eye. Just how true an eye may be judged from the fact that accurate measurements must be made to the point where a thousandth part of an Inch 'factors. If that mark Is overstepped the merest trifle the work is spoiled.

OLYMPIA. Wash., June 20. (Special.) The Supreme Court today ordered that a writ of habeas corpus be issued for Fritz Dletrlck, the Spokane gambler, who Is under conviction and sentenced for vio lating the new law making the conduct ing of gambling resorts a felony. The writ is made returnable July 10 at 10 A. M. The petition for the writ was present ed without argument, and the petition in itself does not reveal the point of attack on the law. The petition admits that Dletrlck com mitted the offense charged in the in formation, that of conducting a stud poker game, but alleges that the only punishment that can be legally Imposed Is the fine provided in the old law. Dletrlck is the victim picked out for testing the constitutionality of the law by the gamblers of the entire state, who are said to have put up a purse to recom pense him for his incarceration. That he will at least earn a part of the purse Is assured by the refusal of the Supreme Court today to grant at this time his ap plication that he be admitted to bail. The Sheriff of Spokane County is re quired to retain Dletrlck in his custody. FREE EXCURSION CAPTURES HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ORATORICAL MEDAL Miss Emily McElroy, the win ner of the High School Alumni Association medal In the third annual oratorical contest, is an exceedingly 'bright girl and the daughter of Dr. J. S. McElroy. She Is a nember of the Latin class, June, 1905. Miss Emily McElroy. mate of several small boys, who are the light and constant agitation of that par ticular household. Ever since the advent of the dog the little lads have been subject to Irritating sores and eruptive outbreaks on their soft skin, until the fox terrier's arrival a condition utterly foreign to their tender bodies. This unusual but prolonged plight finally provoked a close examination as to causes, which was productive of a discov ers. The dog had a sore foot when he first entered the home, -which never thor oughly healed; in fact, it became an open wound that refused to yield to ordinary remedies. One day the dog was "lost"; he had been turned over to a veterinary surgeon, whose well-applied chloroform quietly produced a painless transmigra tion. In the several weeks Intervening since the sad loss of their playmate the little fellows have resumed their former purity of cuticle, not a mark of any kind re maining to mar the snowy freshness of their skin. The conclusion Is inevitable and the moral equally plain for all pa rents to heed. But lest this lesson is not sufficiently obvious, read the warning sounded by the Board of Education of Chicago along similar lines. Co-operating with the Health Department, it Is dis tributing the following notice In all the public schools of that city: "There is danger in pelting stray dogs.. Hydrophobia Is increasing throughout the city, and many of the dogs running at large are afflicted with It. Dogs and cats frequently come from rooms where scar let fever, diphtheria and other conta gious diseases exist, and can transmit germs to children who fondle them." Superintendent Bodlne, of the depart ment of medical inspection, affirms that he knew of a shaggy dog in one neighbor hood which, according to reputable phy sicians, was a means of transmitting con tagion until It "disappeared." Dr. Rey nolds, City Health Commissioner of Chi cago, says cats often spread contagious diseases, especially scarlet fever. Cases of the transmission from one family to another of scarlet lever are well authenticated. A child recovering from this disease may play with a cat, which later may be fondled by other chil dren to the peril of their health. From the high authority of the New York Med ical Journal is the following pronounce ment bearing on the foregoing: "The dog Is an unclean animal. Nd matter how high his pedigree, he will delve in garbage; indeed, he will thrust his snout into all sorts of filth, and then caress his master or mistress by licking him or her -with his tongue. Not only is he the solo bearer of the Infection of rabies to the human race, but often he conveys to children the hydatid tape worm, and from that parasite arises the hydatid cyst that so frequently proves fatal. Better -would It be to extermi nate all dogs than run the risk of rabl etlc Infection of a human being In a single instance that Is to say, if wo confine our attention to city dogs, for we are quite willing to concede the serv ices of the country dog far outweigh the dangers to be apprehended from him." All of which is sad reading to those who have pet dogs and cats In their homes, but perhaps it Is better to eac rlflce them than the children. however, which prevents the admitted purpose of the Sheriff to at once turn Dietrick over to the Warden of the peni tentiary MYSTERIOUS MURDER IX MEXICO. Disappearance of Tito Americans Being Inventlgated. LOS ANGELES. CaL. June 20. The re ported murder of Anthony Swenson by Newton Brown at Atil, Mex., State of Sonora, may result in an international incident. John H. Foley, the attorney acting In behalf of Mrs. Swensen, will tomorrow make a formal request to Senor Andrade, Mexican Consul at Los Angeles, for an official investigation by tha.

Swensen and Brown were business partners in a valuable copper mine at Atil, CO miles In the Interior of Sonora state. Seven weeks ago Brown was lost track of and early in the month Swen sen left for Atil to Investigate.

Ve hicles of 1863 Now Extant. Washington Ietter. 'A. great many people hve asked me what became of the old omnibuses which, in the days from 1S53 to ISO, before Pennsylvania, avenue was paved, and prior to the advent of the horse car, used to haul a monopoly of the passenger and transfer business of the capital," said a second-hand vehicle dealer., "In those day the city was as full of omnibuses as it Is now of trolley cars, and old resi dents have often wondered what becamo of those gaudy, gayly painted concerns, capable ofho!dlng 40 people.

There It remained neglected and forgotten, until the Spanish-American war, when a local drayage and transfer firm heard of it, and pur chased it for a song. "The firm used It to carry passengers, soldiers, officers and visitors between the city and Falls Church and Camp Alger. It was a lucky hit, for the old omnibus is today the largest vehicle in. the city, and will accommodate 53 peo ple. Finding It of considerable use, the firm, at the end of the war with Spain, decided to keep it, and since then has used it for small picnic parties. It Is out every Decoration day, carrying pas sengers to Arlington and reminding theold veterans of the good old days of 1SS2. It is the test relic of the omnibus period of "Washington civilization, and today the largest thing on wheels in the capltaL" WILL GIVE WEALTH TO POOR Heir to a Largo FortHHe Will Be come a.
