OBJECTS TO NAME OF THIEF.
C. H. Plggctt Says Asa K. Richardson
Has Damaged His Reputation.
C. H. Plggott, poet, philosopher and
lawyer, who is the man who built the
castle on Terrace Heights, demands 53500
damages from Asa K. Richardson for in
juring his reputation, and he sued Rich
ardson to recover that amount in the State
Circuit Court. Plggott alleges that Rich
ardson -wickedly and maliciously on April
18, 1904. In the presence of John F. King
and H. E. Mclntire called him a thief, and
eald. "You robbed me of $250."
He alleges further that Richardson told
Dr. W. B. Hamilton "that Plggott is a
thief; he robbed me of $250." On May E,
1304, the complaint recites that Richard
eon said to Archie Mason, "Plggott, that
lawyer, robbed me of $250."
Plggott asserts that the accusation Is
false and scandalous, and that the charges
by Richardson were made maliciously and
to injure his (Piggott's) standing In the
community in his profession and as a cit
izen, and to cause him to be suspected of
dishonesty, causing him distress in body
and mind.
Plggott recently sued J. H. McClung, J.
R. Wetherbee and Thomas McNamee to
recover $800 damages because his personal
effects, clothing, books and other articles,
were thrown out of the Tremont House on
April 16 last. He says his goods were scat
tered along the street, subject to the vul
gar gaze of passers-by, and that ho -was
humiliated and his property was de
stroyed and damaged.
The defendants yesterday filed an an
swer to his suit, in which It Is set forth
that Piggott's property was removed as
the result of an ejectment suit brought by
J. H. McClung against W. E. McPherson
to obtain possession of the Tremont
House. It is alleged that Plggott was a
tenant of W. E. McPherson, and that his
goods and effects were carefully moved
from the premises by V. S. Howard by
virtue of the writ of execution against
McPherson, and not otherwise.
SUES HIM FOR SUPPORT.
"Mathilda Drake Seeks to Compel Hus
band to Aid Her.
MathllcWllrake, who has sued her hus
band, F. P. Drake, an employment agent,
for support, yesterday filed an affidavit
denying the affidavit of Mrs. Alice
Holmes that she sent Mrs. Holmes to the
office of her attorney, B. S. Pague, to ad
vise him to dismiss the suit. Mrs. Drake
says Mr. Pague always advised her to live
with her husband, and that she has im
plored her husband to furnish her -with a
home.
Mrs. Drake has also submitted letters.
One letter written by her from Minneap
olis to her husband in Portland Is full of
endearing terms. His reply, a copy of
which is also submitted, tells her marriage
la a failure, and that he has applied for
a divorce, and is going to the mines as
soon as it Is granted. Mrs. Drake later
engaged an attorney in Evanston, HL,
who whote .Drake, telling him. If he got
a divorce by fraudulent means, he would
pay the penalty: and also that a man who
would take unfair advantage of his wife
during her absence was not worth living
with, and if he wanted a divorce and
would do what is right, his wife would
meet him half way. Drake answered this
letter, and the-attorney, Mr. Norkett, re
sponded that, if Drake would treat his
wife as well as he would treat a dog, or a
cat. things would be better for him
(Drake).
Mrs. Drake says she borrowed $75 and
returned to Portland, and told her husband
If it had not been for kind strangers, she
would have been compelled to seek char
ity shelter for herself and daughter. She
pays Drake gave her $75, with which she
repaid the loan, but has refused to sup
port her. and wanted her to work running
; rooming-house for another man.
Drake, in his answer to the suit, has
Ftated that he Is willing to support his
wife, if she will live with him again.
Mr. Pague asks the court to order Drake
to pay $100 into court for support pending
the termination of this suit.

tortion in compelling F. Joplln to pay

crime, and in one form only; except that
wnere the crime may be committed oy
different means the indictment may allege

complaint Lang avers that he bought the
saloon on September 17, 1904, for $4500,
paying $2000 down, and agreeing to pay

EE CLAIMS EEDEESS.
American in Costa Rica Appeals to
United States
MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 14. The American
Panama Company, through H. L. McCon
nell, of Mobile, has asked the State De
partment at Washington to intervene in
Its behalf on account of alleged inter
ference by the Costa Rlcan government
with the fruit company's planting, rail
road building and o'tner operations in the
territory now belonging to Panama, but
at one time under the Jurisdiction of
Costa Rica, and has asked for damages
in tho sum of $2,210,000. The matter Is
now before the State Department.
The trouble dates back to the Sum
mer of 1903, when the Costa Rican
government, it is alleged, slightly inter
fered with the surveying of the company's
railroad route, but when the United States
Government at that time instructed Its
Minister to Costa Rica to use his good
offices In preventing any further interfer
ence, Costa Rica, It is understood, dis
claimed right of jurisdiction, subject to
the rendering of the Loubet award, on
September 1L 1900.
Prior to that date the territory had for
a number of years been In dispute be
tween the republics of Colombia and Cos
ta Rica, but under terms of a special
agreement was under temporary Jurisdic
tion of the latter. That dispute was sub
mitted to President Loubet of France for
arbitration, and his award fixed the terri
tory as Colombia's.
After Costa Rica had, In November,
1903, disclaimed the right of jurisdiction,
Mr. McConnell continued his work by
planting fruit and preparation for build
ing the railroad and Improving the Port
of Gadocan. Tho latter part of July, 1904.
the Costa Rican government, it is al
leged, sent an armed force to Gadocan
and intercepted a valuable cargo of sup
plies, and after permitting the discharge
of the greater portion of the cargo, confis
cated the portion so discharged, and"
stopped all railroad work at Gadocan.
The Costa Rican government is still In
control of the territory and continues to
prevent the work, it is said, although the
Panama Government, which succeeded to
this territory, through Its secession from
Colombia, has declared Its sovereignty and
right of jurisdiction, and has since, in
an official communication to Mr. Connell,
admitted his right of possession.

the Exposition Committee on Congresses.

CURTIS INDIAN PICTURES
LATEST REVELATION IN PHO
TOGRAPHY EQUALS PAINTING.
New and Remarkable "Motion Pic
tures" of Snake Dance and
Other Mystic Ceremonies.
The latest revelation in photography
and, new stereoptlcon effects that places
this art on a level with painting and pro
duces pictures that vie with the rich' old
masterpieces of Europe will be shown
under the auspices of the Mazamas at
the White Temple, Thursday and Friday
evenings,. January 19 and 2D. Within the
past few months E. W. Curtis, the
Seattle artist, has taken by storm art
critics, ethnologists and connoisseurs in
their strongest citadels of the East.
His marvelous portraits of Indians,
showing, everj' species of tribal type. Il
lustrating this vanishing race In all Its
ancient glory, is not only a new revela
tion In art which appeals to all lovers of
the picturesque and beautiful, but as a
study of Indian customs and character in
all its most subtle and fascinating phases
Is an educational work of unique and re
markable value which should be enjoyed
by all public schooT pupils, teachers,
students of American history and the
public generally.
The historical value of this collection of
Indian pictures has been recognized by
the Smithsonian Institution, United
States Government scientists of Wash
ington, D. C, and President Roosevelt as
a matter of international Importance.
And to the average man and woman,
more or less Ignorant of Indian life and
tradition,- the pictures are fascinating In
the extreme. The "motion pictures," in
particular, with their startling display of
life, action and movement, produce an
effect of vivid realism that excites the
Imagination to fever heat of enthusiasm
and admiration.
For several years Mr. Curtis has been
quietly studying and photographing the
various Indian tribes at home in the
wilderness, by sundry extraordinary de
vices obtaining access to their most se
cret and occult ceremonies. These will be
explained In delightfully Informal fashion
by Mr. Curtis himself, who In the face of
almost Insurmountable difficulties has
now made himself a leading authority on
all these points. A new term has Indeed
been created for him, "photo-historian."
Several hundred of the original photo
graphs will also be on display, each tribe
being given a separate space, thus af
fording exceptional opportunities for com
parative ethnological stuJy of type, home
and village life, their industries and r
liglous rites.
The touch of the artist Is everywhere
visible, whether in the marvelous atmo
spheric effects or the picturesque group
ing of the figures. Immense labor has been
expended to produce these results. One
picture alone, "The Three Chiefs." re
quired three visits to Montana and con
sumed In nil three years time before Mr.
Curtis was satisfied with the result. Many
of these priceless photographs the work
of real genius will be given away as
souvenirs at the evening entertainments.
Mr. Curtis will also show a remarkably
beautiful collection of mountain pictures.

DREDGE FOE OREGON COAST.
Success of the Chinook Means Build
ing of Craft for Other Harbors.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Warh-
ington. Jan. 14. If it can bo shown to the
satisfaction of the House committee on
rivers and harbors that the Government
dredge Chinook has been a success on the
Columbia River bar, there Is little question
but what that committee, will Incorporate
In Its forthcoming bill an appropriation of
$100,000 for the construction and operation
of a smaller dredge for use on the bars
along the Oregon coast, especially at the
entrance to Coos Bay, Tillamook Bay,
Sluslaw River, Yaqulna Bay, CoqulUe
River. Nehalem River and the Umpqua.
Representative Hermann has a bill
pending appropriating $100,000 for this pur
pose, and was given a hearing by the
river and harbor committee In support of
his bill. The committee, and particular!
Chairman Burton, feel disposed to pro
vide a dredge for use on the Oregon coast,
in case it can be shown that a sea dredge
is effective In that region. Endeavors are
being made to get a comprehensive report
as to the effectiveness of the dredge
Chinook, but preliminary reports and pri
vate advices seem to indicate that Major
Langfltt will not be able to show that the
Chinook has been a success.
It is true part of the failure may be due
to the fact that the Clilnook is a con
verted transport, not especially suited to
dredging work. Furthermore, Major Lang
fltt has never been an enthusiastic advo
cate of a dredge as a means of deepening
and preserving a channel across the Co
lumbla River bar. Reports which he has
made at the end of each month during the
past season have rather Indicated his be
lief that the Chinook has been a costly ex
periment, and one that would not justify
duplication.
The rivers and harbors committee Is
waiting to receive some definite and com
prehenslve report as to the operations of
the Chinook. When such a report Is
available they will determine whether or
not It is expedient to authorize a new
dredge for the Oregon bars.
One reason why Representative "Her
mann Is so anxious to secure a dredge for
the various localities named Is because the
Army Engineers, at one time or another.
have manifested their opposition to the
further expenditure of Government funds
for Jetties. For instance, the Yaqulna and
Sluslaw have been Strongly turned down.
not only by the local engineers, but by
the Engineer Board of Review. None of
the other projects along the coast are re
garded In high favor, principally on ac
count of the limited commerce of the vari
ous rivers and bays named. Because of
the attitude of the engineers, the rivers
and harbors committee will not make ap
proprlatlons for jetty projects on these
various waterways, and the only means of
relief is apparently to he obtained along
the lines Mr. Hermann Is following.
Mr. Hermann had a second hearing be
fore the rivers and harbors committee es
pecially in the Interest of Tillamook Bay.
He appeared with a delegation from Penn
sylvania, including ex-Congressman W. C.
Arnold, of that state, representing the
DuBoIs timber interests In the Tillamook
and Nehalem country, where Pennsyl
vania lumber manufacturers own 50.00J
acres of valuable Umber land. These
same Interests own the big lumber mill at
DuBols. Pa. Because their Eastern Umber
supply Is almost exhausted, the Pennsyl
vania lumbermen propose soon to remove
their immense plant, with a capacity of
600.000 feet of lumber a day. to Tillamook
Bay, provided they can be assured that
the entrance to that bay Is to be Improved.
The Government engineers strongly op
pose the Jetty work desired at the en
trance to the Bay. because they estimate
that a 20-foot channel on the bar will cost
$1,000,000. The chief opposition of the en
gineers to expending such a large sum on
Tillamook Bay is based upon the limited
commerce. To this objection Renresenta.
tlve Hermann and the Pennsylvania dele-
gaUon replied that there would be an Im
mediate great Increase in the commerce if
the navigaUon hhalX be improved so as to
permit ships of large tonnage to gain
ready access to the Bay.
The committee gave no assurance, but
tooK tne zacts under consideration.
