Sir Charles Clements, fifth Earl of

Patrick Clements, who In 107 left a
home abroad and an Income of f 200.000
a year to become an Adventurer In
America. Shipping as a stoker at
Southampton, the young nobleman Is
ssld to have worked his way to Bos
ton. The Earl of Leltrim has since been
scouring; the country for trace of him.
The latter went from here to San Fran
cisco, and expects to visit Portland
next.
This Is the agreement which K. A.
Goehlert and Henrlette SScoveronskl. a
widow, signed after Mrs. Scoveronnkt
had proposed marriage and been ac
cepted: "As I, the undersigned. Mrs. Henri
etta Scoveronski. am going to marry
P. A. Goehlert. I do so with the under

age. that If I should leave him for any
reason, get tired of him. I will not and
cannot claim his property or half of it
before his death. (Signed) Uenrlette
Scoveronski."
Mrs. Scoveronski Is 63 years old.
Goehlert. t! years old. Is a gardener of
Puadena. This week Goehlert dis
played the agreement before a mar
riage license clerk In the County
Clerk's office, in applying- for a mar
riage license. He asked If the agree
ment was legal. When assured by the
deputy that it was all right he took
out the license.
Joaquin Altmo. chief of the Mission
Indians of the Martinez reservation
and accepted leader of the handful
yet remaining of his tribe, arrived In
Is Angeles this week to fight for the
lands of his people. In a strange,
throaty mixture of his native tongue
and Spanish, the chief told how. In
his lifetime, he bad seen the red man
pushed back and back by the Inroads of
the paleface until only a pitiful frac
tion of his former domain was left to
him. Because, he says, the white man
Is now looking- with "thirsty eyes"
upon the reservation of his tribe, the
chief has left the villages and his de
pendents and has eome out to deal with
the White Father and his agents as
becomes a tribal leader.
Red Mas geeka Rights.
According to Chsrles T. Coggeshell,
agent at the reservation, the Martinez
tract was thrown open through the
mistake of Government officials. It
was closed against settlement as soon
as the error was discovered, but not
before much valuable timber had been
cut from the land. Coggeshell ac
companied Chief Altmo to the whits
man's stronghold and is endeavoring
to collect the value of this Umber on
behalf of his charges.
In order that they may not lose any
of the precious territory through the
plea that It la not used to the best ad
vantage by them, Allmo's tribesmen
are following him In an ambitious pro
ject to put under cultivation every foot
of the lt.000 acres given them by the
Government. They will ask a reallot
ment of the territory, a centralization
of irrigation facilities and permission
to extend greatly their farming and
date-ralstng Industry. To that end a
petition is being prepared and will be
ssnt to President Taft.
This petition will point out that near
ly every tribe In the country has ob
tained such allotment of land and that
the very existence of the dying tribe
depends upon It. Centralization of the
reservation lands will allow the tribe
to monopolize the 45 artesian wells on
the tract and will put the tribe In a
closely-settled district, where they may
be able to look after their own Inter
ests. To further the plans of the tribe,
they will ask fora a shipment of
horses and a large supply of farming
machinery. Coggeshell will also seek
for a continuance of the experimental 1
farm, which was established two years
ago.
Ths land is fertile and especially
adapted to vegetable and date farm
ing. By the proposed reallotment each
member of the tribe will have slightly
over SO acres, some of which is re
garded as rich In minerals. More than
1000 acres of the reservation Is already
under cultivation and much of the rest
will be utilized within the next six
months under the management and su
pervision of Coggeshell.
Land erroneously opened to entry
and later withdrawn at the edge of
the reservation op two sections set
aside by executive order for the Caba
zon village, has been a sore spot wtth
the tribe for several months. They
sougrht to collect money for wood cut
by the settlers on this land, but were
unable to make a case against the In
truders. The latter had regularly en
tered the land and were within their
rights in cutting timber until the with
drawal of the claims.
College Girls Get Dad .Scare.
While out foraging for a taste of
sociology, SG students of the Southern.
California colleges, composed chiefly of
young women and girls, this week bad
an Impromptu experience for which
they were not prepared. They visited
the city Jail and were Just in time to
see a battle royal between three Jailers
and a prisoner who had become de
mented after a night in a cell.
The prisoner was arraigned In Justice
Court and becoming unmanageable, was
taken down into the Jail by a bailiff.
Just as the bailiff and prisoner en
tered the Jail the students were admit
ted at the main entrance. Frightened,
apparently, by the large number of
people, the prisoner became enraged
and started bis fight.
Screaming as the prisoner closed with
the jailers, the girls In the party of
students rushed for the door, but no
turnkey was there to let them out. All
the turnkeys and trusties had been
called to assist In overpowering- the
struggling man. For a time it looked
as If the officers would have wholesale
lunacy to contend against, as the young
women were In danger of Injuring
themselves in striving to get through
the closed door.
When finally released from the jail
the student body started for the Jus
tice Court room,, but the Justice sta
tioned s bailiff at the door with In
structions not to let them enter, (

PORTLAND'S streets, these bright
sunny days, resemble a mammoth
skating rink. Every paved thor
oughfare is dotted with boys and girls
before and after school hours, all day
Saturday, and, if the parents do not
forbid, skating- is coninued far into
the night.
Last year dealers declared that the
craze had reached Its height, but their
deductions were wrong, and those who
failed to order thousands of pairs of
skates for Spring- delivery are ordering
now. But they must wait, and, in turn,
the boys and girls of Portland who had
not previously obtained skates must
wait, for although the factories are
working overtime to supply the de
mand, orders are piling up more rapid
ly than they can be tilled.
"We have missed the sale of thou
sands of pairs so far in 1912," said the
manager of a large sporting goods de
partment of a Sixth-street store, "and
delayed shipments are eagerly awaited.
Recently 100 pairs arrived, but this
shipment was only a drop In the buck
et. We announced In The Oregonlan
one morning that roller skates for boys
and girls had arrived, and before night
every pair was sold. Today we haven't
a single pair In stock, but they are
on the way thousands of them and
these in turn will be sold within a
short time after they arrive.
Tots W'aat to Skate.
"It's amusing," continued the man
ager, "how the craze affects even the
babies. Why do you know that little
tots three and four years old clamor
for a pair of. skates. Their parents
bring them in and when we are com
pelled to tell them that we are out of
skates, you should see the tears come
Into the youngsters' eyes.
"And this demand of the youngsters
has already suggested to the manu
facturers that small sizes must be
made. It is no easy task to learn to
skate on rollers several sizes too large,
and now that the 'babies' are learning
to skate, of course enterprising manu
facturers must cater to their wants."
And so it goes. Skaters to the right
of you, skaters to the left of you, skat
ers behind you and skaters in front
of you and. If you don't watch out,
skaters on top of you for they come
down the hills and long grades at ter
rific speed, and he who falters when
crossing a street, or fails to dodge at
the right time and In the right di
rection, is very liable to become a part
of the rink ovor which the skaters
glide.
Automobile drivers, motorcycle rid
ers, streetcar motormen and even
"cranky" pedestrians, would stop the
practice if they knew how, for they
must ever be on the elert, especially
at all the crossings. But those who
enjoy seeing the youngsters at their
play and who encourage them In all I
kinds of outdoor exercise and athletic I

sports, votfe' their approval and Con
tinue to buy skates for the children.
"One of the reasons why the craze
has erown," said a dealer, "is found
In the low price at which really good
sidewalk skates are sold. From 76
cents to $2 a pair buys a good grade
of skates. More expensive ones are
made for rink skating, but the kind
used on the boulevards can be obtained
for these prices."
One would Imagine that possibly the
rinks would suffer from a lack of pat
ronage, as a result of turning the city
into a skating place, but here, also,
comes a surprise. Children who other
wise would never have learned to skate,
soon become experts on rollers with
the pavement for a rink, and later from
time to time they seek the public
rinks to enjoy the polished floor and
exhibit their skill. The sidewalk and
boulevard skater thus becomes an im
portant factor in keeping the craze
alive, and Indirectly puts a good many
dollars In the pockets of rink owners.
The other evening a group of skaters
were standing at the co:-ner of Elev
enth and Jefferson, when one of their
number, a little boy probably 8 years
of age, was approached by his mother,
"Here, Johnny," she said, "you must
take off your skates and go down town
for me on an errand."
At this Johnny scowled, but it was
only for an instant, as it suddenly
dawned upon him that there was noth-

:
ing to- preevnt him from "skating"
down town and back again, too, so
away he went, with another boy as
his companion. Ten minutes later tha
boys were back, the errand performed,
and they again joined their playmates.
And so, in addition to furnishinR
amusement, quick trips to the corner
grocery are possible, car fare Is saved,
and the boys and girls are furnished
with, exercise in the open- air -which
many could secure in no other way.
But the skate famine is a serious
problem both to the dealers and the
children. Frequently one pair of skates
is made to do duty where two pair
are needed. Proof of this is found in
watching the boulevards any afternoon,
where boys and girls with but one
skate manage to glide around and en
Joy themselves. Or, as sometimes hap
pens, parents cannot afford to buy a
pair for each of the children, and so
they are compelled to take turns or
be content with one skate, using tha
other foot to guide them, to act as a
brake, or to increase their speed, as the
case may be.
More than 200 miles of paved streets,
to say nothing- of the hundreds and
hundreds of miles of cement sidewalks,
offer a rink of unlimited proportions,
and Portland youngsters are making
the most of their opportunity by skating-
here, there and everywhere
throughout the city.
Accompanying pictures of skaters
were secured at the Park blocks, Park
and Jefferson streets, which has become
a regular rendezvous for youngsters on
rollers. Here they may be seen by
hundreds at almost any hour of tha
day.
BUILDING USED AS OFFICE FOR DEP.-RT.ME.T OF COLUMBIA
SINCE 1SS3 NOW ABANDONED.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash
March 30. (Special.) The old
headquarters building, used for
officers of the Department of the Col
umbia continuously since 188S. has been
abandoned by General Marion P. Maus,
commanding officer of the Department.
"General Nelson A. Miles, now retired,
later in command of the United States
Army, when ststioned here, had an old
ordnance building removed about a
quarter of a mile. This was the build
ing, and it was transformed Into offi
ces for the officers of the Department.
Though that was nearly JO years
ago, the building was an old one then.
July 1, 1911. the reorganization of the
Army into three divisions In the United
States took place, and this reduced the
number of office stationed at De
partment headquarters here, A dozes
officers and about a score of clerks
were sent to San Francisco, leaving
the commanding general, adjutant
general, two aides, and two or three
clerks, in this building, which is a
large one.
General Maus has taken up his head
quarters on the staff line and has
utilized the quarters vacated by Lieu
tenant Colonel Francis J. Kernan for
the new offices of the Department.
These are ample and much more satis
factory in every way.
Several attempts have been made to
have Congress appropriate enough
money to build a headquarters build
ing here," but for some reason the
money never became available. It is
a fact that some of the quarters built
for Army mules are far superior to
this old ramshackle building from
poliU of finish and 9oavesinc. -

Police of Spokane Would Find
George Carr, Willi Aliases.
SPOKANE. Wash.. March 30. (Sp

west are looking for George F. Carr,
alias George Carr, alias Jeffrey Carr.
husband of many wives, two of whom
are said to be living In Spokane at the
Briggs and Roberts apartments,, and
a third at a house In Colfax. A war
rant for Carr's arrest has been Issued
by the Prosecuting Attorney of Spo
kane County.
According to an oatlr-taken by Carr
at Coeur d' Alene in November, 1910,
when one of his wives was living in
Spokane, Carr was a widower, having
buried a former Mrs. Carr in his native
state, Minnesota.
The wives said to belong to George
F. Carr. so far as the authorities and
numerous lawyers In and out of Spo
kane know, are, according to the or
der in which he married them:
Wife No. 1, whose maiden name was
Maud Rafferty, resides in the Briggs
apartments. Carr married her at
Lanesboro, Fillmore County, Minn., May;
18, 104.
Wife No. 2, whose maiden name was
Margaret Barclay, and who resides at
the Roberts apartments. East 2 Second
avenue. Probate Judge Bert A. Reed,
of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, married Carr
and Miss Barclay at Coeur d' Alene
November 7, 1911.
Wife No. 3, whose maiden name is
Ruth Allen, resides at her former Col
fax home, where she was married to
Carr February 7, 1912.
The wedding took place in the Bap
tist Church at Colfax. Ruth Allen is
19 j'ears old. Carr deserted her al
most on their wedding day, it is al
leged. ,
Among the strange gifts Mrs. Taft has
received are several sacred tea plants from
the garden of the Buddhist priests in Cey
lon. The plants were sent to the Secretary
of Agriculture, who will have them cared
for In the tea farms of tha Carolina, which
are under the supervision of the Depart-
