The sub-board of tirade of Alblna has
taken practical steps to have that dis
trict beautified In anticipation of the in
flux of visitors to Portland from all
parts of the world during the Lewi and
Clark exposition in 1805. Three prizes
have been offered to those who will
make the greatest improvement in their
yards and lawns between" February IS
at;d July 1. Incidentally, it is believed,
the plan will encourage clvlo pride gen
erally. .
This action of the sub-board was taken
last Friday night at an entertainment
given to raise, funds to furnish its hall.
A committee on civic Improvement was
named in the persons of Mrs. W. H.
Moore, J. C. Miller and David Dupee.
The boundaries for competition are
the Willamette river, Morris street and
Union and Kllllngsworth avenues. The
first prise will be $5, the second $2.10
and the third $1. The amounts are not
large, but the sub-board is of the opin
ion that the spirit of competition en
gendered by the plan will do far more
than a mere financial consideration.
The timefor making entries" in the
competition has been extended from
February 1 to February 15. The
Improvements to be made will con
sist In the painting of houses, fences'
and barns, the planting and artistic ar
rangement of rose bushes and shrub
bery and the beauty and care of lawns.
Cement walks have recently been laid
around the Mississippi avenue Congre
gational church, at the intersection of
Mississippi avenue and FremOnt street
It is anticipated that the children of the
Sunday-school will now take a pride in
beautifying the churchyard and may
carry off a prize.
The Ladies' Auxiliary of the sub
board have spaded and seeded the
ground of the Thompson school, located
on the corner of Shaver and Borthwick
streets. O. E. Jamison, the principal,
will be seen relative to Inducing the
children to enter the contest and beau
tify the grounds by planting trees and
shrubs and continuing the work of the
ladies. "

BAJTD. W. Ickes, who was convicted by a
Jury in the circuit court last November,
on accusations made by Emma Oster,
his wife's 14-year-old sister, was sen
tenced to five years in the penitentiary
by Judge Sears this morning. A stay
of execution was granted by the court
pending the filing of a bill of exceptions
by his Attorneys, and an appeal to be
taken to the state supreme court
At the trial Ickes denied all the
charges made by his sister-in-law, and
as a separate defense alleged that the
accusations were part of a conspiracy
formed by his wife's relatives to. sepa
rate him from his family. Previous to
his arrest, he sold his farm to secure
the necessary funds for his defense.
While he was shopping In town, he tes
tified, his wife tied to her parents and
took his money with her.
Ickes then transferred his claim to
the money to Attorney Robert , Gallo
way. A civil suit has been instituted to
recover the amount.
District Attorney Manning prosecuted
the state case' against Ickes, and was
then retained by Mrs. Ickes to fight the
"civil suit brought by Ickes' attorneys.
Attorney Edward Mendenhall appeared
In court this morning and objected to
the passing of sentence on Ickes. He
explained that a civil suit to regain the
defendant's money was in progress and
that tho case would be appealed to the
supreme court later.
"We'd like to get some money out of
this case," he said. "The woman has
got away with all the money Ickes ever
had, and I understand that John Man
ning, who prosecuted Ickes, has advised
her not to give it up."
Manning was on his feet in an instant.
"That's not so," he shouted. "As a mat
ter of fact I advised Mrs. Ickes, against
my own judgment, to make a settlement
in the case, but she refused. Mrs. Ickes
came to me for advice, and I do not
think there Is any regulation agalnBt
my appearing in her behalf. As long
as Mr. Mendenhall -has seen fit to make
these charges I will now ask the court
to set a limit to the stay of execution
in the case. Ickes was convicted a long
time ago and we have watted just to
accommodate them."
Judge Sears limited the stay of execu
tion tp one week, during which time
Ickes' attorneys will prepare a bill of
exceptions.

Headquarters have been opened by
the Simon Republicans, or as they term
themselves, the Independent Republi
cans, in room 216, Marquam building.
J. P. Kennedy has been Installed as sec
retary, and blue prints showing ward
and precinct boundaries are pinned upon
the1 walls.
"We don't expect to do much here
just at present," said Mr. Kennedy this
morning, "but later on when the cam
paign warms up we shall need head
quarters. We expect to get the adjoin
ing room and the ward and precinct cap
tains will be able to meet here."
As yet there is none of the activity
about the new headquarters that is to
be seen In the rooms in the Sherlock
building where Judge Carey holds daily
consultation with throngs of Mitchell
Republican workers, but this is at
tributed to the fact that Simon's fol
lowers have not yet learned of the new
rallying place. The organisation of the
Simon forces Is progressing quite as
actively, though not as ostentatiously,
as that of their opponents.
Both factions are busily-engaged in
the organization of Roosevelt clubs,
though the Mitchell faction appears to
have rather more action In this direction
than the Simon Republicans. "I am
co-operating with Dr. H. W. Coe and
the Roosevelt league of Oregon." said
Judge Carey, "in organising Roosevelt
clubs throughout the county. A large
number of them will be organised be
tween now and spring."
One of the latest of the clubs was
formed by the 10th ward Republicans
at Ockley Green. Tho officers are: W.
J. Peddlcord. president; J. Shoup, secre
tary. The club will meet February 10
at the Mississippi avenue engine house.
WANT STATISTICS
LAW REPEALED
Credit men want the act requiring ex
porters to file a manifest with the cus
toms authorities, showing in detail the
quantities and value of each Item of do
mestic merchandise In any one shipment,
repealed. The contention is that the law
is expensive and annoying. The Port
land chamber of commerce yesterday
received a copy of a resolution passed by
the merchants' association of Seattle, In
which the repeal of the law is asked.
The resolution has been presented to the
Washington congressional delegation and
the support of the Portland chamber is
asked for. The law Is known as "an act
to facilitate the procurement of statistics
of trade between the United States and
Us non-contiguous territories."

Old and decrepit, Matthew Ryan told
the -story of his misfortune before
Judge George in the state circuit court
today,; Flve years ago he deeded his
home in Alblna to Michael and Ellen
Galvin, with the understanding, he says,
that they should care for him until he
died. Now he is in court to ask that
his property be restored to him. In
stead of providing him with a comforta
ble home, Ryan says that the Galvins,
by a series of persecutions, forced him
to leave, their roof, in violation of the
contract.
Ryan also avers that the Galvins
made fraudulent representations In order
to swindle him out of the property,
Being illiterate, he alleges that they
took advantage of him by falling to in
sert in the contract certain conditions,
which had been previously agreed to.
According to the .contract, which was
introduced as evidence ' In the case,
Ryan's property, located at 354-8 Sac
ramento street, was to pass Into the
possession of - the- Galvins, at Ryan's
death. During his life they were to have
possession of one of his houses, and in
return provide for all his wants, in the
way of board, lodging and clothes.
Everything ran- smoothly for the first
year, when Ryan unceremoniously left
the Galvin home. Ryan alleges that by
a series of persecutions the Galvins had
rendered life unbearable, and that he
was treated as an Interloper.
The Galvins deny this and assert that
they always cared for their charge to
their best of their ability, and that they
are now ready and willing to carry out
their part of the contract
As a . cross answer they also set up
the fact that they have expended $700
in repairing the house, which they al
lege to have been in ba condition, ilie

February shipments of flour from
Portland to the Orient were given a
good start today when the Indrasamha
cleared for Japan and China. Among
other miscellaneous freight she had on
board 59,629 barrels of flour, the larg
eat quantity of that foodstuff the ves
sel ever carried. It ranks as the third
largest flour cargo that ever left' the
Columbia river, only being exceeded by
those taken out. on the Algoa and the
Intlrapura during the present season.
The flour Is valued at $214,664.40, and
goes to Yokohama, Kobe, MoJU Hong
kong and Shanghai. The balance of the
cargo consists of 63 packages of gro
ceries, one box of sporting goods, three
sacks of oats, 77 sacks of bran, 1,828
pieces of rough lumber, 129 bales of
cotton flour bags, 13 packages of ma
chinery, 200 boxes of apples,' 250 cases
of -cigarettes and 100 bales of sheeting.
- The steamer sailed at noon, and under
her 7,000-ton burden was weighted down
to a draught of only 23 feet and 8
Inches. It is thought probable that she
will be able to get to sea early tomor

LABOR MAN HOME
FROM CONVENTION
"The labor movement was never In bet
ter condition than at present. " Every
local from almost all quarters has shown
decided gains and the outlook for tho
future is bright"
So spoke Harry Gurr yesterday. Mr.
Gurr has just returned home from the
Bast, where he attended as a delegate
on the international convention of the
American Federation of Labor, held at
Boston, and also the bricklayers' conven
tion held at Trenton, N. J.
'Favorable reports were given by the
delegates from all sections of the United
States, says Mr. Gurr, "as to the
progress made by organized labor, and
they were very flattering In the extreme.
"No labor difficulties of any note are
on and the indications point to a pros
perous year. The question of Jurisdic
tion, which has long proved perplexing,
was settled satisfactorily to all the In
terested unions. An engineer or fire
man who worked in a brewery, for in
stance, was claimed by both the brew
ers' and engineers' unions. It was final
ly determined that he should become a
member of the latter.
"At the bricklayers' convention It was
decided to Impose a fine against those
who discriminate against a colored mem
ber of the organisation. Many other
questions of equal Importance were dis
posed of at the convention."
Before returning home Mr. Gurr made
a visit to his old home In London, which
he had not seen for 31 years.
U. S. GRAND JURY

"The matter of the convening of the

"and I do not know just when ho will
fix the date. I would prefer to have the
jurors meet some time after the middle
of March.
It is thought the grand Jury will be
called some time next month, as the

In referring to the case of David R.
Nelson, now of Portland, for whose re
turn to Kansas Governor Chamberlain
recently refused a requisition, the Cof
fey vllle Dally Journal of January 16,
last, makes' some pointed statements in
which Nelson is scored without mercy.
John Nelson, a brother of David, shot
and killed Albert Morris at CofTey vllle
September, 4, 1901.' and after being con
vieted of manslaughter, a new trial was
granted him and lie was released. David
Is said to have advised his brother to
escape, hearing that he was about to be
arrested. Accordingly a warrant was Is
sued for David,y who is an attorney, but
he left the state.
The officers from Coffey vllle followed
their man to California, but the governor
of that state refused to honor the papers
and similar action was taken by Govern
nor Chamberlain of this state. TheCof-
feyvllle Journal fairly sizsles with the
language It uses In the article setting
forth the "smoothness" of. "Judge Nel
son," as it- refers to the attorney.
The article asserts that "the wool was
pulled over Governor Chamberlain's
eyes." The Kansas paper publishes in
full an account of the proceedings. In
cluding Nelson's, story, as It appeared In
The Journal.
Judge Nelson is preparing a reply to
the article.
CHURCH MORTGAGE

YOUNG MEN FIGHT
ABOUT A WOMAN
The unknown was from Gerllnger'a
mill and he was small. Henry Helple
became Involved In an altercation with
him. When the physician was called
Helple was unconscious.
It all happened during the basket so
ciable given last Saturday night by the
Eagle Creek grange. Henry Helple, it
Is said, took offense because a man from
Gerllnger'a was paying what he con
sidered a little too much attention to a
certain young woman.
The fight occurred about 1 o'clock in
the morning and Dr. C. B. Smith, the
Oregon Water Power & Railway com
pany's physician at Eagle Creek, worked
over him from 1:30 until 8 in the morn
ing before he was assurred the injured
man was out of danger. In the crowd
that carried Helple Into Dr. Smith's
sitting room was James Sutter. The
doctor ordered all persons from the
room. Sutter, he says, refused to go.
Seizing a heavy Japanese cane the doc
tor drove him out.

the January budget last year that ex
pense was not Included. Registration
this month has also caused considerable
extra expense.
