AFTER THAT THE TRUSTS District Attorney Has Been Collect ing Evidence About Restraint of Trade Rumored That Another Grand Jury May.Bo Called. - Pending land-fraud trials In this state will not be taken up on the open ing day of the October term of the Federal. Court for the District of Ore gon, which will be convened dV Judge Wolverton, Monday, October 7. This does not mean that these prosecutions Illegal organisation, end these were the parties the Government was after. Prac tically all of the indicted dealers who have not yet responded are small country dealers, and H is considered likely that further proceedings against them will be dropped. SATS SHE PUIiLiED HIS KOSE Part or Troubles of McXelll Others Who Would Be Free. Mary Gullander filed a auit for divorce against her husband, C. O. Gullander, In the State Circuit Court yesterday. They were married in, Portland In May,' 1902, but the wife claims Gullander deserted her several months ago and has failed to contribute to her support. .' . - - Robert H. Sharinghausen states ; in a complaint that his wife, Louise G., has deserted him and he prays the court r to have his marriage- dissolved. The couple was married In Stockton, CaJ., In Novem ber, 1902. . I ., 1 V. James A. McNeill - sets . forth - In ' his complaint that his -wife Ada F.-McNelll has an Unbearable temper and is addicted to pulling his nose and mustache, beat ing him and otherwise making life miser able. He alleges that She frequently called him an old devil, scoundrel, and other bad names not fit to-be set forth in the petition. He says that he deeded over to her several pieces of property In the hope she would mend her treatment of' him, but all to no avail. He then left her and lived apart from her for some years and upon her promise to be good he returned, -only to be abused worse than ever. They were married in Sell wood, September 19, 1886, and are the RAGE ALMOST OVER One More Week Will Decide Tri-City Winner. KELSO AND FRAKES TIE Decision of Xieague Officials Throw - ing Out St. John Game Puts the Two Teams on an Equality. ' In ' another week the season of the Tri-City League will be over, and the pennant race of that Interesting little organization settled. The action of the league officials in throwing out the game won by the Frakes from St. John a week ago last' Sunday, on the ground that a phony ball was used in the game, puts the Milliners and Kelso Tigers on the same rung In the per centage ladder. At present, it looks as though the Milliners would land the rag. 'Kelso is scheduled to play two games with ARCHBISHOP CHRISTIE WILL, LAY CORNERSTONE OF CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN'S CLUBHOUSE TODAY .

A number of other criminal cases, involving charges of counter feiting and robbing postofflces. In which several of the defendants have been lying in Jail for more than a year, will be tried ' first. There are only a few of these cases and they will require but a short time to hear and then United States Attorney Bristol will take up the minor conspiracy cases In connection with the land frauds. Early in November Mr. Bristol will be Joined by Special Prosecutor Heney when the more important cases against ex-United States Attorney John Hall, ex-Congressman Binger Hermejin and State Senator R. A. Booth will be prosecuted. . , . The latter part of this' month-the regular Jury list for the -October term will be drawn, but-it is improbable that another grand Jury .will, be con vened until all pending, business on the docket has been disposed of. That an other such an inquisitorial body will be assembled this Fall is . considered very likely, although' the court offi .olals decline to confirm this suspi cion. Plenty of Work for Heney. Now that the Department of Jus tice and the Interior Department have arranged jointly for the return of Heney to Portland personally to wind up the land-fraud prosecutions, it is figured that the policy of the Gov ernment will be to extend the investl- In this state. If the contemplated in vestigations are carried out there will be need for the . services . of another grand Jury, which, it is reported, will be called at the proper time. In the meantime Assistant United States Attorney Cole is . preparing and filing complaints in a large number of eases in which the Government is seeking to have cancelled patents to land, that have been fraudulently ac quired by settlers in tne course of the land-fraud operations in this state for a number of . years past. The first batch of these suits was ' filed last week and a number of others Is in course of preparation. Trusts to Come Next. When the land-fraud trials have been cleared up it is barely possible an official Inquiry will be made Into the operations of a number of alleged Illegal trade com binations in this clJy. It Is generally un derstood that United States Attorney .Bristol has for some time been quietly Investigating a number of local trusts and in the course of this Investigation has acquired a vast amount of. evidence that would warrant the return of indict ments by any grand Jury before which the same might be presented. But the scope of the work of the Government's prosecutors on the subject of trusts at the approaching term ,of ' the Federal Court will depend largely on the length of ttme that is required In the trial of the pending land-fraud cases and the ex tent to which these frauds are further Inquired Into. It Is not probable that the Government will undertake to prosecute the delin quent defendants that ' were named in the furniture trust Indictment returned last Spring. Of the 183 individuals or corporations Included In the information, alleging a combination' in restraint of trade, 140 made an appearance in court, pleaded guilty and were fined in sums ranging from $10 to $100, the aggregate of the fines so paid being about $6000. The cost of making the Investigation was about $3000, leaving a balance on the right side of the ledger for the Govern ment. Included among those who have come Into court and paid fines were the firms that were -coniderei responsible for ttie- parents of two 'children, whom the father desires to have placed in his charge. Allowance for Mrs. Goode. Petition was granted the widow of H. W. Goode to have the administrator of the estate pay over to her the sum of $2064, being the amount claimed as reason able for her maintenance and that of her minor children for the period elapsing since the death of Mr.: Goode. There was also allowed the sum of $500 a month, dating from August 9. for one year, for their use and benefit. . From Hogg to Hoag. - Perclval D. ' . Hogg stated . to Judge Webster yesterday that he thought an Improvement could be made In the spell ing of his name and after giving the matter a moment's consideration the court agreed with the' applicant and' Mr. Hogg left the courtroom henceforth to be known as Perclval D. Hoag. - Passes Bous Check. J. H. Elliott was found guilty of pass ing a bogus check on a clerk in the em ploy of Ben .Selling for the sum of $20. Elliott was sentenced to serve a year In the penitentiary,, but was released on probation. New Notaries Public. Certificates were issued yesterday to the following named notaries public: Charles T.

Metzger sells diamonds at 10 per cent profit. 342 Washington street. the Apostles at St John this afternoon, while the Frakes will go a double header with the Bohemians at Astoria It is conceded by everybody that the St. John team Is much harder to beat than the Bohemians, and all the fans dope it out that the hat-makers ought to take both at Astoria, while the Tigers should break even at St. John. This would put the locals one ahead of the Bengals. e Kelso' certainly has the ' baseball craze, and is doing everything it can to take the rag.. It was stated by an official of the league that the Kelso fans had offered to hire a battery and infield from the Northwest League for Astoria,- in order that the Bohemians might take both games from the Mil liners, and thereby give the pennant to the Tigers. Astoria, in true sporting spirit, refused this offer, and the man agement of the team stated that if they could not win with their regular team they would Just as soon lose the game as to go on the field with a picked team from an outside organiza tion. . Another case before the minds of the followers of the league is the action of the officials In throwing out the game won by the Frakes at St. John a week ago. A phony ball that is, an Inflated pneumatlo sphere, covered with horsehide was used in the game. The Milliners won, and the St. John management protested. To the ob server, it looks as If the game should be threwn out, and according to base ball rules, the game should - not be counted.
