BIGAMIST SAYS HE
IS HYPNOTIZED
Ward Robertson, Arrested,
Gives This Excuse for Un
lucky Fifth Nuptials.
!
SAME PLEA BY WIFE NO. 5
I'ifth Spouse, Also Five Times Wed
ded. Will Prosecute Latest Hus
band, Who Is 55, and
Has Five Children.
Ward Robertson, employed on the
famous "horse radish patch." near
Beaverton. was arrested yesterday aft
ernoon by Constable Wagner on a
charge of polygamy. He Is held at the
County Jail In the sura of J-'SuO.
Mrs. Julia Gundlark. or rather Mrs.
Robertson No. 5, Is the complainant,
and It Is said that Mrs. Robertson No.
4. who resides at Beaverton. will ap
pear as a willing witness against her
husband. Wife No. 6 lives at 84 West
Park street, and there are many
strange features In connection with the
case.
Admits He Is Bigamist.
Robertson has been married five
times. Including the ceremony by which
he was married to Mrs. Gundlark. Mrs
Gundlark. wife No. 6. has also been
married five times. Including- her mar
riage to Robertson. He is 65 years of
age, the father of five children, four
of whom are dead and she refused to
give her age. Robertson admits that
he married the woman, having never
obtained a divorce from his wife. The
woman declares she did -not know he
was married when she consented to be
come Mrs. Robertson.
Another strange feature Is that each
claims to have been hypnotized by the
other. The man would never have mar
ried the woman, he says, but for the
hypnotic Influence of her eyes: the
woman would never have married the
man, she says, but for the hypnotic in
fluence of his voice. It was so kind
find sympathetic, she declares, that she
was unable to resist his pleadings.
Visited Wife No. 4.
She had been his wife Just one week
when she discovered that an original
Mrs. Robertson was living at Beaver
ton. Hastily she boarded a train and
went to that town. She searched for
Mrs. Robertson and soon found her.
"I expected Mrs. Robertson to be
real angry with me, and feared that
perhaps she might pull my hair." said
wife No. 5 yesterday." but she wasn't
and she didn't show any resentment to
wards me. Instead, she was Just as in
dignant as I was when she learned
that Robertson had another wife. She
told me she would help me prosecute
him.
It was on board a river steamer that
the romance between Robertson and
Mrs. Gundlark began. Both were go
ing to the beach and met by accident.
Since that meetng. the woman says,
the man has followed her continually
and she Anally consented to marry him.
On their return from the beach they
went to Vancouver and were married,
October 16.
Friday, the woman says, she discov
ered that her huahaand had another
wife, and started an investigation. As
a result of that Investigation she swore
to a warrant for his arrest yester
day, charging polygamy. The war
rant was placed In the hands of Con
stable Wagner for service and Robert
son was brought to Portland last
night.
"I don't know why I married that
man." said wife No. 6. "But he kept
afrr me and told me that he had prop
erty and I tinally consented to marry
him. We went to Vancouver and were
married there."
Itobertson Vs not agitated or
alarmed as a result of his arrest, and
admitted that he had married the wo
man. He had started divorce proceed
ings against his wife, ha said, but
couldn't account for his marrying an
other woman except for the bewitch
ing Influence of her eyes,
"When I looked Into her eyes.'' he
said. "I would do anything she wanted
me to and I must surely have been
hypnotized. That's the only way I can
account for marrying her."
WILL MAKE FUNDS PUBLIC
BOTH PARTIES TO PUBLISH
CAMPAIGN LISTS.
A Roq aired Vnder Huntley Act
McArthor and Ryan Will Hie
Statement of Subscriptions.
Statements will be published by the
Republican and Democratic organiza
tions In this state showing the amount
of funds collected and expended during
the pending Presidential campaign. The
Huntley corrupt practices act requires
that each party shall file In the office
of the Secretary orf State such a state
ment. Since this provision of the law
must be complied with. Secretary Mo
Arthnr, of the Republican organization,
and Secretary Ryan, of the Democratic
forces, have decided to give the general
public the benefit of the Information
and will publish a detailed sworn state
ment, disclosing the source and amount
of each campaign subscription and the
manner In which the money was dis
burse i.
I'nder the same law, the official rep
resentatives of one political organiza
tion have the privilege of demanding of
another arc ess to Its campaign ac
counts. The Democrats were the first
to avail themselves of this privilege.
Yesterdsy Secretary Ryan and Jeffer
son Myers, chairman of ths finance com
mittee of the Democratic organization,
called Informally upon Secretary MoAr
thur and Jokingly demanded the right
to Inspect the record of the Republican
campaign funds. Secretary McArthur
promptly produced the books but the
visitors did not take the trouble of
Investigating the accounts and deter
mining the financial standing of their
rival political organization.
At Democratic headquarters yester
day. Secretary Ryan announced that not
later than next Saturday he would com
plete a sworn statement relative to
his party's campaign expenses In this
state and furnish the same to the press
for publication prior to the election.
The Democratic secretary said the
statement would show the receipt and
disbursement of about $1200. It is un
derstood the report from Republican
headquarters will account for about
I4S00.
W have nothing to conceal." said
Secretary McArthur at Republican
headquarters yesterday. "When the
campaign is over we shall fils with the
c . M atat a certified reoort of
DCLTCWI w .... - - -
our receipts and disbursements during
the campaign. At the same time this
Information will be furnished the news
papers for publication.
"So far as the records of my office
are concerned, the books In which are
kept a list of campaign subscriptions
and expenditures are open at all times
for the inspection of those who wish
to see them. Every cent of money that
is disbursed by the State Central Com
mittee is paid out by check and re
ceipts also are taken for each individual
expenditure. These receipts and can
celled checks, together with a record
of all campaign subscriptions, are on
file at headquarters where they can be
seen at any time."

fiCHITEcSD PAY
KABLE & KABLE WANT $12,500
FOR HIGH SCHOOL DESIGN.
Case in State Circuit Court Makes
Another Chapter In Squabble
Over Board's Award.
The bunding of the Albina High
School, over which the Board of Educa
tion engaged in a number of discus
sions, was made the subject of litiga
tion when Kable & Kable, architects,
filed a suit against School District No.
1, Multnomah County, in the state Cir
cuit Court yesterday afternoon. Kable
& Kable were the architects whose de
sign, according to the complaint, had
been accepted by the Board's Jury, con
sisting of W. M. Somerwell. an archi
tect of Seattle. The design was rejected
and another accepted, and Kable & Ka
ble seek to recover $12,500 for the work
they did and the work they would have
dona had their design been accepted.
In their complaint Kable & Kable
state that the Board offered prizes of
1500, $300 and $200 respectively for the
nrst. second and third best designs for
a building to cost not more than $250,
000. These designs were to be sub
mitted to a Jury of the Board of Educa
tion, the Jury to consist of Mr. Somer
well, an architect of reputation. They
were passed upon by him and the de
sign of Kable A Kable was accepted
as the only one that would come within
the appropriation of $250,000, they de
clare. The Board of Education re
ceived his report, but awarded the con
tract to another firm of architects
whose design, the complaint says, did
not provide for a building at the cost
stated.
CHAKGES INTENT TO DEFRAUD
Brooklyn Sewer Contractors Alleged
to Have Uncertain. Finances.
Charges of intent to defraud are
made by J. J. Mears against Gleblsch
& J op 1 In. contractors for the great
Brooklyn sewer, in an affidavit filed in
the Circuit Court yesterday. Mears,
who acted as superintendent for the
contractors, in the construction of the
waterworks plant at Rainier, and also
furnished them financial aid, says that,
the petition for the vacation of the
order restraining them from collect
ing for the Rainier work would in
jure him.
The contractors, he says, have an
uncertain financial position, as the
Hood River Irrigation Company Is now
praying for a Judgment against them
for $22,000, and recently a Mrs. Lowe
presented a bill to tnem ana wa iuiu
that they were without funds. On
August 14. Mears says, Gleblsch told
hlra that the firm would lose $20,000 on
the Brooklyn sewer. Mears says that
If the order restraining the defend
ants from collecting the money due for
the Rainier Improvement should be
dissolved, they will assign their claim
and the money will be misappropriated.
In their affidavit Giebiseh & Joplin
said Mears had been paid all due him
with the exception of $1000 or such
amount as the court might determine.
ENJOINED FROM LAYING MAINS
B. S. Kelsay Cannot Get Franchise
for Arleta District.
An order restraining the County
Court from issuing a franchise to B. S.
Kelsay to lay water and gas pipes In
the Arleta district was granted by Pre
siding Judge Gantenbein, in the State
Circuit Court yesterday morning. The
complainant was J. H. Nash, who
laid out the town of Nashville near
Arleta. Mr. Nash says that when he
dedicated the streets to public use he
reserved the right to lay water mains
therein, and the granting of a fran
chise to Kelsay would be an Infringe
ment upon his rights. Notice of the
Injunction was served upon County
Judga Webster yesterday, and also
upon Commissioners Llghtner and
Barnes. The court will take 10 days in
which to file an answer.

NORTH BANK TO
OPEN NOVEMBER 5
Date Set and Arrangements
for Celebration, by Portland
Are Being Made.
CANNOT USE TERMINAL
Will Employ Temporary Depot In
Freight Yards James J. Hill
and Other Officials to Be
Present at Opening.
November 5 Is the probable date of the
opening of the North Bank Road into
Portland.
Arrangements are now being made for
a monster celebration of the event on
that date. James J. Hill, the great rail
road builder, accompanied by the chief
officials of his system, will attend the
demonstration and will make speeches.
In welcoming the new railroad, Portland
commercial bodies will play the most
prominent part. ' The Chamber of Com
merce has taken the lead, and the Com
mercial Club Is joining in the work, to
gether with the Board of Trade. The
celebration will be held in the Commer
cial Club rooms and will end with a ban
quet, at which there will be a brilliant
list of speakers.
"The incident of the completion of the
North Bank Road Into Portland Is a
great occasion," said C. F. Swigert. presi
dent of the Chamber of Commerce, yes
terday, "and we hope to make Its observ
ance long to be remembered. It will not
be an invitation affair and all who have
the Interests of Portland at heart should
attend. Those attending the banquet will
pay for their own plates. Just how many
will be seated Is a detail that remains to
be arranged. We hope to make the gath
ering as large anil as representative as
possible. The celebration Is a public
matter and should call forth no little
public spirit."
James J. Hill to Be Here.
James J. Hill will leave St. Paul for
Portland November 2. He will be accom
panied by his son, Louis W. Hill, who
succeeded his father as president of the
Great Northern Railway. Howard Elliott,
president of the Northern Pacific, Is ex
pected to attend and make an address
and will do so if he can get away from
his St. Paul offices at that time.
Not only Portland's newest railroad,
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Kail
way, will also be the best line oper
ating into the city. Built primarily to
secure all the advantages of a water
grade down the Columbia River, irre
spective of cost, the line Is so substan
tially construeted that It represents the
best railroad construction anywhere.
There is little likelihood that the ter
minal row between the Harriman and
Hill Interests will have been settled
to allow the North Bank passenger
trains to enter the Union Depot. In
view of such a contingency arrange
ments are being made by General Su
perintendent Forrest to make a passen
ger station out of a building in the
freight terminal of the new road for
temporary use until arrangements can
be made to enter the Union Depot.
Wants Terminal Only.
The Hill road, it Is understood, wants
to enter the terminal grounds with its
passenger trains only, and on a wheel
age basis. This . maens that the new
line would pay only a small part of
the maintenance charges for keeping
the yards in repair and interest on the
Investment. Having Its Own freight
yards, the Hill road would not con
tribute to the freight earnings 'of the
terminal company, and the major part
of the expense is incurred, it la said,
in providing freight facilities.
Furthermore, the Harriman people,
realizing they have the whip hand, are
annoyed at the statement Mr. Louis Hill
made while In Portland over a year ago,
which appeared In an interview in The
Oregonlan, relative to the North Bank
road sharing Its newly acquired terminals
with the Northern Pacific Terminal Com
pany and thereby throwing all the North
Portland terminals together for the use
of all.
"What Is the use." Mr. Hill said in
substance, "after you have your bed laid,
of giving It up for somebody else to
lie in?"
The Harriman people are making a new
application of this remark, now that the
tables are turned and the Hill road Is
the outsider.
The North Bank road is further said
by the Harriman people to occupy a
peculiar position in that in a recent
suit against the Harriman lines. It won in
court by declaring Itself a separate cor
poration, which It Indisputably la. But
In the terminal matter, it is said to
contend that it should be given more con
sideration by reason of its being a North
ern Pacific property, the Northern Pa
cific owning only a little less than one
half the stock In the terminal company,
the control being held by the Harriman
lines.
The indications are now, unless some
trnde Is made between the heads of the
Hill and Harriman lines in the Northwest,
that the North Bank road will be barred
from the Union Depot indefinitely and the
Hill people must maintain a separata pas
senger station or make large concessions
either here or on the Sound In order to
get Into the present depot.
KETCRNS FROM EASTERN TRIP
John SI. Scott Reviews Recent Pas
senger Agents' Meeting.
John M. Scott, assistant general pas
senger agent for the Harriman lines in
this territory, returned to Portland
yesterday from Chicago, where he at
tended the meeting, of the Transconti
nental Passenger Association, which
was In session for several weeks. Many
matters of importance in railroad rates,
chief of -which in local Interest was
the settlement of the rate for the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at
Seattle, were taken up and disposed of.
"After visiting Chicago, Kansas City,
Omaha and Denver," said Mr. Scott "I
found that there are ten Inquiries
about Oregon to one about California.
This indicates the travel to this state
will be very heavy during the com
ing year. This interest in this section
of the country is due, it Is believed, to
the extensive community advertising
that has been done for this state dur
ing the past year or two. Because of
the interest throughout the Middle
West In the coast country. I look for a
very heavy colonist movement next
Spring. This travel during the Fall
has been light, owing to the unsettled
conditions and the approaching Presi
dential election.
"I found that the Seattle Exposition
Is well advertised throughout the Mid
dle West and East, and I believe the
travel to the fair will result In as
much benefit to Portland as to Seattle.
The same rates will be in effect, and
people who will visit the fair from the
MAIL ORDERS WILL RECEIVE OUR CAREFUL AND .PROMPT ATTENTION
