DIVING FEATURE OF L Inez Fanjoy Goes Off North . Rail of Burnside Bridge and Swims to Craft. SPECTACULAR FEATS SEEN In Street Exhibits One Man Jumps From Center or Broad-way Via dnct, and Another Somersaults i From Harrlman Span. Nerve that prompted Miss Inez Fan Joy to dive headlong from the north rail of the Burnslde-street bridge at 2:15 o'clock yesterday is of the kind that won for her the giri championship of California and then of the entire Pa cific Coast, incidentally earning for her n. star's position with the Rice & Dore water circus, which began a. week's show at East Third and Oregon streets last night. Miss Fan joy's plunge into- the Wil lamette, the temperature of which was about 48 degrees, was arranged by the Portland Press Club, which has as Kumed some responsibility in making the aquatic carnival a success. Follow ing that event Charles Soderberg made a dive of over 90 feet from the railing at the center of the Broadway bridge and soon after J. O. Flores leaped back ward from the Harrlman bridge, somer saulting in the air in his descent of 70 feet. "That wasn't so bad, was it?" was all Miss Fanjoy said on reaching the Har bor Patrol launch, where Harbormaster Speier gallantly assisted her over the side. She swam over 100 feet toward the boat after coming to the surface and complained neither of cold nor the height of her dive. Miss Fanjoy dives 52 feet during each performance and thinks It only fun. v "Why, I've been swimming since I was 6 years old, when my parents per mitted it at Venice, Cal., said the young mermaid. "I have a 9-year-old sister, Margaret, who could do the same dive." Miss Fanjoy weighs 135 pounds and Is 17 years old. She says all of her family are swimmers and she took to the sport like a duck. Soderberg says he took his first swimming lessons when 4 years old in Sweden, and while he dives 82 feet in the show, his highest dive was 102 feet, made at Tacoma. He is 28 years old. Flores dives 84 feet when perform ing, always backward and somersault ing. Both men demonstrated yesterday that with all the talk that a low stage of water diving or jumping from the high bridges spanning the harbor was to be questioned, persons experienced in such pastimes assumed no great risk. Soderberg made a beautiful dive and struck the water in an easy pos ture, while Flores. turning as he did in midair, entered the water feet first, going down, he said, about 15 feet. A professional swimmer leaped from the top of the west pier of the Broad way bridge last Summer and swam ashore, but the dive made by Soder berg yesterday was about 20 feet higher.

Circuit Judge Cleeton signed an order to hear the case July IS. All the estate which Is involved In the contest was claimed at Mrs. Orr's death by Augustus B. -F. Orr, whose marriage with Mrs. Orr is attacked by Mrs. Humason's petition, because of an alleged fraudulent divorce procured in Clackamas County In 1911.

Since that time an investigation has been taken up in the name of the State of Oregon. Mrs. Humason brings her proceed ings on the theory that she can show that Orr assisted his first wife to ob tain tho divorce so that he might marry Alary Burke, whom he referred to as the "old lady," and that by show lng the divorce to have been obtained by fraud she can have annulled Orr's marriage with her sister, by which be obtained possession of her sister's property at the time of her death. JURY IS REPRIMANDED JUDGE K1VA.VAUGU SCORES FA I L- IKE TO CONVICT ED RIBV. Evidence Was Clear and Children Must Be Protected, Court Tells Men Who Could Not Agree on Verdict. Before he discharged the jury that failed to convict Ed Ruby, charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Circuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday delivered a reprimand to its members. The case was submitted to the Jury at 11 o'clock Friday morning and they were discharged at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, after reporting that an agreement was impossible. "Tho morals of the community are in your hands, gentlemen, when such cases as this are under deliberation said the Jurist, "and if Juries fail to protect the children I cannot vouch for the future. The evidence in this case was clear, at least to me, and estab lished the guilt of this defendant be yond any doubt. "Possibly If you knew the frequency of cases of this nature you would not hesitate to convict. The Jails are filled with men charged with such crimes as Ruby is charged with and we must de pend on the Juries to do their part." Judge Kavanaugh questioned a, ma jority of the Jurors and would not dis charge the Jury until he had been as sured by them that there was no pos sibllity of agreement. They reported that they stood 11 to one for convlc tion, but thought there was no chance to obtain the 12th vote. The next trial of Ruby will be held before one of tho other Judges.
