Port la ndvsLosAnfeeles. Quarrel Over Rent. After reaching the age of 76 years without having een arrested for f-'-y kind of crime, D. J. Kspler. a retired steamboat engineer, was taken Into custody at noon yesterday on a charge of assault. A similar charge was lodged against his wife. The police believe the charges are unfounded. The complaint in the case was signed by Mrs. C. B. Stark, who had been rooming with the Kaplers, at Second and Clay streets. Mrs. Stark was moving because Mrs. Kspler had objected to the conduct of her children, and a dispute arose as to the "amount of rent due. The Esplers took forcible possession of a package to hold for the rent due. At the time Kapler had a hatchet In his hand. Mrs. Stark says the old man seized the hatchet and flourished it at her. Espler says tie had the hatchet in his hand while engaged In repairing a screen, and had no thought of striking the woman. Kepler's ver sion of the affair Is the one credited by the police. He was released on bail pend ing trial today. Mrs. Kspler, too, was required to leave ball. Indian Work on FsrHfBiTioK.

Per kins says that dark pavements, even in this part of the country, are the best. He explains that it Is not Intended that the pavements shall be black, but simply colored enough . to do away with the white glare, and says that if the ordi nance passed requires two pounds of lampblack to a barrel of cement, it pro vides for altogether too much lampblack, and ought to be amended. However, he insists that a general system of dark pavements should be adopted in Port land, "for the eyes of the children and others are worth more than the cost of a little lampblack." Mr. Perkins says that a little lampblack does not injure the concrete In the lea t if properly mixed and spread. Mr. Perkins some time . ago advocated dark colored pave ments before the Initiative One Hundred, and favors them as strongly as ever. Home Was in Milwaukie.

One of Her Ancestors Leaves Vast Estate in England and Chances Are Good for Obtaining Part. Born an heir to a $92,000,000 estate in England, all . of which Is on deposit In various banks In Great Britain, Mrs. G. E. Stewart, wife of an employe of the Security Savings and Trust Company, re siding In her little home at 306 Twelfth street, Is dally expecting a message that will give to her a fortune of $290,000. The vast amount of money in this es tate has been on deposit in the various banks of England for the past 84 years, and has been involved in litigation for nearly a century. The estate was orig inally the property of Robert Payne, an East India ' trader of the early part of the nineteenth century. At the time of his death In 1823, his will,, in which all his estate was given to a favored son, was contested by another son. For years th.e case was argued In the courts of England, the contestants died, and the fight was carried on by their children. At this time, one of the grandsons of Robert Payne,' the founder of the estate, left England, came to America, and set tled in Tennessee. He invested in land, and was known as one of the most weal thy citizens of the state. Then In turn. his family branched out, and one son left Tennessee and came to Oregon. He set tled in the southern part of- the state. The Oregon branch of the family spread, and Mrs. Stewart is a grand daughter of the pioneer. Her mother was the mother of a family of six children. For years the Oregon and Tennessee branches of the family lost track of the immense fortune to which they were heirs. But a few years ago Isaac Lar rance, an old man, found papers which it is believed will settle the whole case. Mr. Larrance recently left his home In Danville, 111., going to England for the purpose of investigating his claims. In a letter to his relatives in this country, Mr. Larrance said that he thought his claim was perfect, and that the whole matter would be settled In a few months. Larrance has made a life work of the fight for the fortune, and has traced the family records back to the early part of the seventeenth century. Of the 40 claims before the court in which the matter is being tried 29 were rejected. and Larrance's was declared strongest. Mrs. Stewart did not think much about the matter until Larrance's recent trip to .trfigiand, but now she thinks that the whole affair will come out satisfactorily. Her mother, who was fourth in line from the original Robert Payne, would come In for over a million and a half dollars of the estate, and this divided among her six children would give each $290,000.
