What Court Has to Say of William Isensee, J i . CHINA UBlBl!Jb? 1 A wiL LAND-FRAUD CASE IS HEARD Judge Finds for Defendant, but Says ''He, Swore Falsely, and That , the Plaintiff Was Guilty of Subornation. In directing the suit of O. M. Stafford, a timber cruiser, against William Isen see, a Portland business man, Judge Sears said yesterday: "The parties In this case have attempted, to defraud the Govern ment out of valuable timber lands. The defendant Is guilty of perjury, and the plaintiff is guilty of subornation of per jury. The findings of the court will be for the defendant." Stafford sued Isensee to recover a bal ance of $100 alleged to be duo for locating Isensee on a timber claim in the State of "Washington. At tho trial of the case ten days ago Isensee testified that when lie filed upon the claim he subscribed to an affidavit in the United States Land Office at Vancouver that he had previously vis ited the land. Ho said this was not true, he had not seen the land at that time, but he subsequently Inspected it. He stated that the claim was not as repre sented, and he abandoned it and refused ,to pay Stafford the $100. He had already paid him $50. Stafford testified at the trial that he did not know If Isensee had been on the land or not before he filed upon It He also stated that the claim was a good one, worth at least $2000. Judge Sears, discussing the matter after ,he had rendered the decision, said: "As the land in question is located in "Wash ington, United States District Attorney Heney has no jurisdiction, or he would have taken action in the case. Both par ties have deliberately lied, and have no standing in court." The facts in the case may be. referred by Mr. Heney to tho United States Dis trict Attorney in the State of Washing ton. FILES ANSWER TO WIFE'S PLEA Harry Bowen Says She Has Another Husband Living. Harry Bowen, a saloonkeeper, who is the defendant in a divorce suit instituted by Lottie Bowen, has filed an answer, in which he recites that, when they were married, April 10, 1903, she already had a husband, named Steve Potter. Bowen pays he was not aware of the fact until October 6, 1903, when he consulted W. T. Vaughn, an attorney, for the purpose of obtaining a divorce, and his wife told him it was not necessary, because their marriage was void. She furnished him with an affidavit, stating that she mar ried Steve Potter in Scott's Valley, July IS, 1594. She married Bowen in the Coun ty Jail, for the purpose of relieving him from prosecution on a charge of assault upon her. In the complaint Bowen is accused of Infidelity, and Belle Raleigh is named as corespondent. He retaliates by accusing the plaintiff of associating with Joe Thompson. MISBEHAVIOR IS HER CHARGE Wife Seeks Divorce Because of Hus band's Bad Associates. Rosa R. Edwards alleges that her hus band. John M. Edwards, during the past two years has frequently associated with women of bad character, driving them about the City of Portland and spending his money upon them. Mrs. Edwards WOODMEN WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY .USI tacet clamat" He sneaks though silent. That Is the motto of the "Wood men of the '"World, and It 'is thus that the members of the order, and there are nearly 100,000 of them in the states of the Pacific jurisdiction, like to remem ber their late Head Consul F. A. Falken burg. Memorial services In honor of the beloved founder of the order in the West will bo held at Taylor-street Methodlsh Church this afternoon by the members of the Portland camps. That F. A. Falkenburg was nearer and dearer to the hearts of the members of his order than any other man has been, whether in the "Woodmen of the World or in any other society. Is the proud boast of his most Intimate friends. Just how much he was loved and reverenced was learned at the funeral services which were held at Denver last Sunday after noon. Never in the history of Denver had there been such a manifestation. After his body lay in state in the "Wood men of the "World building for two days and had been viewed by thousands of people, fully 2500 more gathered at the church to listen to the last sad words of the "Woodman ritual which were the only services conducted, and at the con clusion and as the funeral procession, ten blocks in length, wdund slowly along the streets of Denver, nearly 50,000 people bowed their heads in reverence and honor to the man who bad so thoroughly taught them the real meaning of fraternallsm and true brotherly love. It is often said by those who knew Head Consul Falkenburg best he lived (only to see the Woodmen of the "World grow and prosper, that his whole life was devoted to the work and that he died that he might serve its -interests rather than his own welfare. ' In 1890 F. A. Falkcnburg and a few congenial .spirits met at Omaha for the purpose of -.forming a fraternal insurance order, and that same day articles of incorporation were filed with the Secre tary of State of Nebraska lor the Wood men of the World. The following August Mr. Falkenburg starteI West for the purpose of establishing the Pacific Juris diction. "All that Falkenburg had." say the other members of that gathering at Omaha, "was himself and a piece of parchment.' He formed Denver Camp ?Co. 1, and then followed in quick suc cession many others. At the first ses sion of the head camp held In Pueblo lfiOO members were represented. In l9i the Head Camp met at Portland with a representation of $000. Two years more and the order had grown to 25.000. In 1ESS there were 53,000. At Salt Lake in 1M0 reports showed over 65.000, and at the last session of the Head Camp in 3902 there were 78,000 members. The next session Is to be held at Los Angeles In April and there are now more than 93,000 members of the order in good stand ing in this jurisdiction. It was .the whole ambition of Mr. Falk enburg to build the membership to 100.000 before the Los Angeles meeting, and it was with this end In -view that he under took a trip throughout the Jurisdiction to Increase the enthusiasm of the members in securing new applications for member ship and which ultimately resulted in his death February 3. Af,ter the Head Camp session it was the irtentlon of the Head Consul to visit SELLING LIQUOR TO A MINOR Trial of Case Leads to an Interesting Decision. "The liquor question, like the poor, is always with us." said Judge Scars yester day in passing upon the case of Stephen Stltz, a saloonkeeper, who was tried for selling a glass of beer to Henry Hahn, a minor. The accused was adjudged guilty and was fined $25, which he paid. The defense Interposed was that young Hahn was acting as the agent for his father, for whose use the liquor was purchased. The court, however, found that the evi dence showed beyond a reasonable doubt that the saloonkeeper sold the beer to the boy, who drank It. In passing upon such a simple case. Judge Sears indulged in the very un usual precedent of delivering a learned opinion, saying: . "The range of diversity of opinion upon this subject is as broad as the mental and moral idiosyncrasies of those who bring to bear thereupon the searchlight of pessimism, meliorism or optimism, as the case may be. "From him who believes with Puffendorf that the 'merriment of a cheerful cup, which rather revives the spirits than stuplfiea the Teason, is no hlnndrance to the contracting of just obligations, to him who conceives that the mere act of looking upon the 'wine when it is red is the unpardonable sin, is a far cry. But, waiving these moral aspects of the ques tion, what say the sages of the law? "The Supreme Judicial Court of the commonwealth of Massachusetts an nounces, with an Irresistible cogency of logic, that a sale and delivery of Intox icating liquor to a minor for his parents' use Is not a sale, etc., to a minor, under a statute almost Identical in language with the ordinance aforesaid. "The Supreme Court of Connecticut, by a unanimous opinion delivered in 18S3. fol lows these views, holding that under a like statute a delivery to a minor scnt'by his father to purchase liquor for him did not come within the act. ''While I incline strongly to the views hereinbefore expressed by the New Eng land courts, and while they seem to me to more accord with the spirit of the statute and of that liberal view whloh regards the spirit, as well as, or rather than, the letter, and while they are the dicta of men of the verjr highest learning and worthy of being adopted by other courts, yet there Is nothing in the evidence in this case which brings the defendant with in the protection of their rulings." MUST PAY FOR VERBAL LEASE Sale of . Property as Unincumbered Causes Legal Action. For the reason that there was a verbal lease covering the rooms in a building at the southwest cornqr of Third and Mill streets which tho Macleay Estate Com pany sold to Peter Loratl as unincum bered, the company must pay Loratl $300. Judge Frazer bo decided yesterday. The tenant, Mrs. Johnson, pays $35 a month for the rooms, and Loratl contends that they are worth much more. He sued the Macleay Estate Company and Judge Fra zer held that tho rental value of tho room? was $60 a month; that a verbal lease Is good for a year, and Loratl is con sequently entitled to receive $25 a month from the Macleay Estate Company for the period of one year, or a total of $300. The time has- already expired. Mrs. John son claimed a verbal lease for two years, but one year is the limit under the stat ute. Mismated Couples Seek Divorce. Alma H. Lenon has sued Luther G.

' Europe and Mexico to establish the order abroad and thus make it an order of the world. It Is one of thefeatures of the Wood men of the World as a fraternal organiza tion that each member upon his death shall have erected over his remains a monument symbolical of the order and that upon the Sunday nearest the elxth day of June of each year that the neigh bors of his camp shall gather at the grave and pay tribute to his mCmory. Uhls will be done In the case of tho Head Consul, but the monument will bo of far greater magnificence, as all the camps of tho order have already started a subscription for that purpose. By this tribute many will remember F. A, Falken burg. but many more will remember him as the one -person in all the world who made the Woodmen of the World a suc cess, and during the few years that have elapsed since its organization has en abled it to pay to the widows and or phans qf the deceased neighbors more than $5,000,000.

This was done while the Consul was lying in his bed at Los Angeles, and after the signa ture was written Mrs. Falkenburg had to retrace several of the lines as the husband was not able to write plainly.

STREET J1 TO AGGEPT BRIDGE City Engineer Wanzer Says Work Is Satisfactory, WILL SO REPORT TO BOARD He Completes His Examination' of the .Morrison-Street Bridge, and Finds It Built According " to the Contract. City Engineer Wanzer yesterday com pleted his final examination of the Morrison-street bridge. Mr. Wanzer stated that he found everything satisfactory and all work done according to contract. At the meeting of the Executive Board to be held next Friday, Mr. Wanzer will rec ommend that the bridge be accepted. The Pacific Construction Company has yet to remove the old piers to the depth contracted. It will probably be several months before they will be able to com plete this task, as at the present time the current in the river is so swift that the divers are unable to work at an ad vantage. EXPERT DOW GIVES OPIN'ION Compares the Bltulithic and Bitumi nous Macadam for Streets. Tne following Is the letter received by L. J. Goldsmith, secretary of the Taxpay ers' League of Portland, from A. W. Dow, expert on asphalts and bitumens for the United States Government, which re sulted in some discussion when presented before the street committee of the Coun cil Friday afternoon: Tour favor of January 13 at hand in quiring about the bltulithic and bitumin ous macadam pavement. I have been fa miliar with the Warren Bros." bltulithic pavement for the past four years and have made a study of it for several cit ies, including this one. relative to Its Introduction here as a pavement. I am thoroughly convinced that where it Is laid as they prescribe. It will prove more durable under light traffic than the regu lar types of asphalt $avements. In the case of heavy traffic, the life of the navp- ment depends entirely on the strength of the stone used. If the stone Is hard and durable and can withstand the traffic on the street, the pavement will outlast an asphalt pavement. Without going Into detail as to my res- sons tor arriving at inese conclusions, I may state that J consider the Warren Bros. bltulithic pavement as a highlv refined form of the old coal-tar Davement. that in several cases has endured for over 39 years. The Warren Bros., by their Drocesses and apparatus, manufacture a pavement mat minimizes tne detects or coal tar bi tumens, while It makes use of Its good qualities. As an example .bf this, it Is well recognized that the coal-tar nave- ments which have lasted su long In this city aria In dthcrs, were so soft when first laid that in many cases streets had to be. barricaded off from traffic a week or two In hot weather. The Warren Bros. In their pavement, so as to allow the use of a bitumen even sorter than could have been used In these old pavements, proportion their mineral aggregate so that even though the cement were as fluid as water, it would still resist Indentation of traffic As to the bituminous macadam f lavement which the Barber Asphalt Pav ng Company has laid In a few cities: I am familiar with this pavement and have examined several samples submitted to me by the Barber Asphalt Paving Com pany. I find that It is just an ordlnary sand asphalt mixture with some large stones added. I have been told that an attempt was made Jn these pavements to anDortion the various size, mineral ag gregate as do the Warren Bros., but if WE HAVE WHAT YOU WANT We have the goods you Avant at prices that you can afford to pay.

Why don't some of our competitors advertise to give $30 or even $20 for the wonderful Ranges which they carry? Because other Ranges crack, warp and bum out. Monarchs never do. They are worth more than $30.00 at any stage of the game. That is why we advertise to buy them back. GtiOorFrtcBoekFlttt You can't afford to tray a ranee until you know all about a Monarch.

Price S49.00 to S13S.OO H. E 185-191 FIRST STREET such Is the case, the samples -which I have examined did not Indicate It. Of four samples examined from one pave ment, I found no two alike. This pave ment differs materially from the Warren Bros bltulithic, In that It contains a pre dominance of medium size mineral ag gregates, and as I have said before, runs very uniformly; while In the Warren Bros, pavement the larger mineral In gredients predominate, which, keyed to gether, c-lve the Davement an Inherent stability which allows the use of a much softer bituminous cement. There Is no charge for this opinion, as I am not allowed by the Government to receive fees from outside parties. Building Permits. The following building permits were granted yesterday by the License Depart ment in the City Auditor's office: D. Muir. for $3200 two-story frame build ing In Willamette Heights. H. H.

Piano Selling That Is Abreast the Times and Altogether to the Advantage of the Buyer. Methods of doing business change and Improve along .with methods, of transpor talon. With the telegraph, the railway and the typewriter came facilities for handling business on a tremendous scale, and at a great saving. Recently the wire less telegraph and automobile have fur ther greatly facilitated methods of com munication. And the plan of piano selling now adopted by Eilers Piano House Is in strict conformity with these latest Inventions of quick ways of doing things. This en terprising establishment has put itself for the time being in the place of whole sale agent for Individual buyers, and by cutting out the tremendous expense In curred by wiling in the regular retail way enables each purchased to save all the way from 575 to $150, and It figures Its profit is just as great, by turning Its money over w quickly. Eilers Piano House is equipped for sell ing pianos in tremendous quantities. They can handle 1000 pianos or more with as much facility as they can 100. with their large sales and office force, and a splen didly equipped dray and shipping depart ment. Having branch houses at all the leading towns in Oregon. Washington, Idaho and California, they occupy a com manding position and keep In close touch with the people all over the country and their musical wants, which they can fill on the very shortest order It desired, from their immense warehouse in Portland, al though the primary Idea in this present plan of selling Is to deliver direct from the factory to the home. The pl3n. known as the co-operative piano clubs.' admits 1000 members. Any one may Join. The initial payment is snnall. and fc? regulated by the club which the piano-buyer joins, there being six clubs In all. which embrace 1000 pianos. Fully a third of the membership has al ready been taken up. People from all over the country are joining. It is by far the best way of buying a piano that has ever been offered. Anyone without a piano will find It to their advantage to investi gate this. Store 351 Washington street. LIFE OF CHRIST IN PICTTJBES. Attraction for Sunday Club Meeting at the Y. M. C. A.
