Bessie May Stone, a daughter of
Thomas Guinean, a well-known resi
dent of Portland, was granted a di
vorce from Oscar C. Stone, to whom
she was united in marriage at Spokane
July 27, 1900. Mrs. Stone testified that
many things occurred since their
union which caused her pain and suf
fering. She said Mr. Stone pawned
her wedding presents and squandered
the money. He falsely represented
that he was related to John Hay, ex
Secretary of Siate, and if he could
reach Arizona he could obtain money
to establish himself in business.
They went there, Mrs. stone testified,
and Stone sold her piano and furniture
and spent the money.
Mrs. Stone further complained that
In July, 1902, she went with her hus
band to Butte, where he was to estab
lish himself in business. She after
ward learned that he had left Portland
to avoid arrest for criminal offenses.
He was arrested In Montana and
locked up for several months.
Stone, It is charged, conducted a
timberland office In Portland, and he
swindled Dfc C. W. Cornelius and oth
ers. He was brought back to Portland
from Idaho, where he was living under
an assumed name, and was tried. The
jury disagreed and after he had been
in jail a long time he was released.
Another charge made by Mrs. Stone
was that Stone choked and kicked her
at Klamath Falls in January. 1905. be
cause her facher refused to send him
any more money. The last she heard
of Stone he was in Jail at Pendleton

monev under false pretenses. The
papers were served on Stone in the
Umatilla County Jail.

SCHWAB'S FRIENDS ANGRY
Displeased at His Refusal to Take
Nevada Senatorshlp.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. (Special.)
Wealthy Nevada mining: men are waging:
a bitter war In stock circles because
Charles M. Schwab, former president of
the steel trus. has refused to become a
dtlien of Nevada and make a fight for
the flitted States Senatorship against
Senator Frances G. Newlands. whose
term expires in Because of his re
fusal. Schwab ha? made enemies of for
mer friends and business associates who
are said to have desired increased political
and social preMige through a programme
they had mapped out for Schwab.
They had Influence enough to get Sena
tor George S. Nixon, of Nevada, to try his
persuasive powers on Schwab and get
him to contest for the toga with New
lands. Nixon and Newlands are political
enemies and the former would like to see
Schwab defeat Newlands. "When he
failed to Interest Schwab in the political
game, Nixon stood to one side and is now
a spectator of the fight between the for
mer steel trust magnate and his erst
while associates.
John McKane, the shrewd and wealthy
Scotch mining engineer who induced
Charles M. Schwab to Invest in Nevada
gold mines and made for him $15,000,000 in
the past three years, has quarrelled with
him, so the story goes. As a result, Schwab
has displaced McKane as his Nevada min
ing representative, at a salary of $60,000
a year, and given the position to William
Gillls, a Pittsburg man. and an old friend.
The McKane crowd appear to have the
better of the fight against Schwab at pres
ent, but in making their fight they have
succeeded in demoralizing the mining
market for the so-called Schwab stocks
In this city, Denver and New York, and
have injured financially many innocent
Investors.
McKane Is a millionaire, picturesque,
shrewd, ambitious, extravagant.

NEW ZEALAND ADMITS AMERICAN
GOODS FREE.
Effort la Made to Establish a Steam
Line Between Portland and
the Colony.
William Reed, who is working for
the establishment of a steamship line
between Portland and New Zealand,
finds that the people of Portland are
much interested in the declaration of
the new Premier thac he will admit
American goods into New Zealand free
of duty. Similar action was taken by
the deceased Premier, and It was
through the efforts of Mr. Reed, while
he was Consul to that country, that
such a law was originally passed.
Mr. Reed furnishes the following
facts as to the extent of New Zealand's
business, which he says the Pacific
Coast can secure on ten days' notice.

crowded daily with a larger number of
visitors than have ever attended this
beautiful resort since last season. "The
Old Mill" has made a tremendous hit,
and there is a constant line in front of
this remarkable building waiting turns to

rest and recreation. It has become a fad
for parties of all the way from twenty to
a hundred people to spend the evening at
The Oaks and make the rounds, taking in
every one of the amusement attractions
and enjoying the many novel features.
WHAT "MILLS" DID
For San Francisco.
Mills College is proud of all its students,
but takes particular pride in its girls dur
ing the eventful times following the dis
aster that overtook the beautiful City of
San Francisco and the nearby cities.
Although the tremor was felt at the
college, the students showed great self
control and fortitude. The morning meal
was served at the usual time, and from
that moment nothing daunted the spirits
of the classes up to the day of graduation,
the most unique and, withal, an ideal one,
ever held at Mills.
Our girls soon learned the fate of many
a graduation dress that helped feed the
flames In San Francisco. Their Joss was
soon forgotten in the thought of distress
and suffering experienced by the residents
of the metropolis. Realizing that their
hands were needed, they at once formed
sewing circles, under the direction of the
faculty, and that which 'Mills" did in
its share of relief, is a bright page in our
history. Naturally, we feel proud of the
young women who showed by their un
selfishness that they are the kind that
make the mothers of men.
