Although F. D. Love 1b 63 years of
age and haft had wide experience lit vari
ous lines of business, he Is now under
the care of his son. Royal. . The latter
stepped in at the last critical Juncture
and asked to be appointed guardian In or
der to save what property and money
his aged rather possesses. He says that
Sallie McGuire, to whom the elder Love
was engaged to be married, has suc
ceeded In getting from him several
thousand dollars, and secured his signa
ture to a deed of his house and lot at
the corner of Nineteenth and Clinton
streets.
"I took Sallie McGuire as a friend
. wiinn biib was uumeieen, pruyiaea ner
with food and raiment., and. expended
large sums of money on her," said F.
X, Love, when seen at his home today,
F. D. LOVE.
"and now she spurns me, tries to rrb

that I have to shelter me In my declin

scarcely bring myself to believe that
Sallie would do as she has done.

"1 met Sallie in this city last July,

learned to love her, and she seemed to
reciprocate, so we became engaged.
Since that time I have spent more than
ta.OOO to make her happy, but she dis
plays the basest Ingratitude by attempt
ing to rob me of my all. The matter
is in the courts now. so I cannot talk as
freely as I should otherwise, but there
are some things I can tell. '

Kan,,' and wanted o so there on & visit,
so I paid her fare there and back. She
left me In San 'Francisco with the
understanding that when she returned to
Portland she would Jet me know, so that
X could come home -and we would be
married. J i
"The next I heard from Sallie f was
when she wired me at 'Frisco for more
money. I had given her ample to re
turn with, but In some manner she spent
it. and so I sent her more by wire. Then
ehe came back to her home in Aberdeen,
Wash., but did not let me know a thing
about it. .
"I had gone into the saloon business
in San Francisco with Archie McGuire

money continually, and quit when I was
about $R00 to the bad. I then came
here, finding to my" surprise thar Sallie

About two months ago I bought this
little home. I put about all I had into
it, f.jr it was for 8allie was to be our
home, and I wanted to make her happy.
She had secured between 13,000 and
$4,000 from me since I met her, but she
still kept coming to me for money for
this, and 'money for that.' I never re
fusd her, for I loved her dearly and
could not .realise that she wa false to
me. 'But I know now that she was; that
she had a lover, and was untrue to me.
who had been her constant friend and
slave. ' .
Beaten In His Home. '
"Two weeks ago Sallie, Edith Means
and Harry Van Tile, who is employed in
Astoria on the Lurllne dock, came to
this home. I did not like the man's
actions, and plainly told him so, This
roused Miss Mean's wrath, and she
picked up a ' water pitcher with which
she struck me on the nose, breaking the
bones and leaving a scar that Is plainly
visible there now. Sallie helped her.
It broke my heart, for I had done every
thing I could for her because I loved
her, and to think that she would stand
by and see me beaten, and take part in
it, completely broke, me up.
The last I saw of Sallie was when
she was here last Sunday, one week ago,
She left the house, saying she was
going to Aberdeen, and would return the
following Tuesday, but she did not coma
back, and I have not heard, from her
since. I think she is now in Astoria,
and I do not expect to see her again
until this' case is settled one way or the
other. I think she will keep in hiding
until then."
How did Miss McGuire get' you to
sign the deed to your home?" was
asked.
"I do not know," was the reply. ."I
have been ill for several months, and
have not been responsible for what
have done. She took advantage of my.
condition to get me to sign the deed, but
I do not know how she managed It."
Signed Seed While Irresponsible.
"Have you any recollection of signing
the, deed T" was asked.
'I faintly remember signing some
thing," Love replied, "but when or where
it was I cannot say. But one thing is
true, Sallie McGuire never put one cent
Into this house and lot, and it was not
hers. . She had no right to attempt- to
sell it, for I -was not responsible when
I signed the deed.
"I am an old man, and feeble, so that
I cannot work again. I have but little
money left, and this house and lot are
all I have. I need this home to shelter
me during my declining years, but I live
In momentary fear that I win be ousted
and set Into the street. My son has
taken the matter up, and will fight It
to the end. I am simply the victim of
a conspiracy, but trust to the courts. to
set aside the actions of the con
splrators. I now await the outcome,
hoping for the best."

WHAT WILL CAPITAL DO

exploitation of labor the greatest field
ever opened up to the ambition of or
ganised capitalism.
An ordinary adult In China will work
for 10 cents a day. At Nagasaki and
Osaka In Japan. English cotton mill
owners have employes of both sexes who
work for less than SI. 50 per week.
British India wages are even lower than
in Japan. A friend of mine who pre'
sided a few years ago at the Indian na
tional congress in Madras visited
newspaper ofllce in that city and found
compositors working for about one shil
ling a day 25 cents.
British India Is an, example of what
China may become under foreign rule,
directed and dominated by the money
power or tungiana. There are some 200,
000.000 of a population highly civil
ized and docile in British East India
At one time "wealth of the Indies" was
a proverbial expression. The country
was lamea lor its mines and manufac
tures, for the opulence of its cities and
for the daxzllng riches of its oriental
basaars. England has ruled these count'
less millions of eastern people for the
last 160 years, with what results?
Let me answer by facts and figures
from accepted authority on the condition
of British India. Wm. Digby. an ex
British, Indian official, in his latest work,
says: "prosperous British India, pub
llshed by the Fisher Union, London,
proves to the hilt the following facts:
The average dally wage per head of a
worker In India in 1850 was two pence
(four cents). In 1882 it was "one penny
and a half. In 1900 it was-three far
things. These 200,000,000 eastern peo
ple are British subjects. Not one hu
man being among them can exercise a
right to vote for the English governor
sent from London to rule them, or for
the, secretary of state who governs the
country from London, or can Influence in
any way the expenditure of taxes and
the levies on the people by their foreign
masters. There are 70,000.000 of these
British citizens unable to read or write.

cents in the house and barely enough
provisions to last a day. ,.'
when Mrs. Downs left her home to
run away with Alvord she did not even
bid her children goodbye. Coming to
the foot of the stair, she called up to
her 'husband, who was working in his
study above:
What time shall I return from choir
prac,tice dear?"
Her husband wrged that she be home
as early as possible, and after acknowl
edging her cheery goodbye, resumed his
writing.
Helther Has Koney.
Mr. Downs believes his wife had no
money with her because he had just re
turned from Tacoma, where be had been
with his eldest daughter, and had taken
nearly all the money with him in order
to pay an eye specialist, who had been
treating the child. Alvord, accordini
to his wife, had less than 1100.
Mrs. Downs purchased a ticket to
Kelso, Wash. She boarded the train
alone and Alvord, who had been hiding
behind a water tank, jumped on the cars
after the train. was in motion. He paid
his rare to the conductor.
After their arrest in this city Alvord
informed a reporter for the Journal that
he Intended to go to Oregon City by
trolley and then take the Southern Pa'
cine train presumably for California.
After Alvord and . Mrs. Downs were
released by order of Chief of Police
Hunt the former went to the Multnomah
lodging house at Fifth and Morrison
streets and secured room 12. He was
alone. Later Mrs. Downs appeared with
the key to the room, but the landlady,
Mrs. Anderson, refused to allow her to
enter the place. The woman then de
parted and that was the last seen of
either of them in Portland.
Mr. Downs is of the opinion that the
couple is still lii the vicinity of Port
land and that Alvord intends to work In
order to secure funds before attempting
to get further away. '
Presiding Elder Williamson of Cheha-
lis is said to have changed Mr. Downs'
intention not' to pursue or prosecute the
elopers. Mr. Downs was at first in
clined to take no action. ,

The printed circulars containing the
pictures or , Alvora ana Mrs. : uowns
read as follows:
"Fifty dollars reward will be paid for
the arrest of Mrs. Addle Downs and
Carl 8. "Alvord, who eloped from Win-
lock, Wash), on Saturday February 20,
1804. The above reward will be paid
by the marshal of the town of Winlock.
J. L. Myers, upon the nrrest and deten
tion of the said parties, until the sher.u.
or other officer can reach them.
"Mrs- Addle Downs la about 30 years
of age, but looks younger. She has
brown hair" and eyes, is five feet four
and one-half Inches in height, weighs
about 130 pounds, has false upper teeth
a nose slightly inclined to be Roman.
She has a vaccination scar on left arm,
wears her hair puffed, has ears pierce
for rings, but does not' wear them,
and is the mother of five children.
"Carl 8. Alvord is a blacksmith by
trade. He has straight brown hair and
dark eyes. He is clean shaven and is
between 25 and 8t years of age. He
weighs about 160 pounds, has broad
shoulders and a pronounced Roman nose,
HIS height is between five feet eight and

tt is a good deal like stepping back
Into the last generation to see "The
Two Orphans," which opened yester
day at the Baker theatre. The play

has been shouldered into the rear rank
by the modern demand for a nearer ap
proach to real life in stage presenta
tions. But It is the old story 'of love
and sacrifice 'that will always find ready
listeners, and two crowded houses yes

and despised the villain in the heartiest
way imaginable, m-
Esther Lyon is surprisingly strong as
the blind girl, Louise. She and the
doctor, played by Charles E. Inslee, are
almost the only ones of. the' company J
wno-maKe tne suited lines or me piece
sound natural. In Jacques, the wicked
brother, William Bernard has a part
in which he can rant to his heart s con
tent Ethelyn Palmer, as Henrietta, Is
pleasing, and Mlna Crolius Gleason, as
the horrible Frouchard, gives a drunken
scene that is a work of art, George, Ali
son, . who contributes some ''incidental
music that was encored, steps into the
background as the Chevalier de Vaud
ray. Howard Russell makes a pathetio
cripple,. Pierre, and stoop up after ,ap
cripple, Pierre, and stood up after ap
heart, and fought with surprising vigor.
The duel scene was cue very short and
was not nearly so effective as it might
be made,, but perhaps that is because
it was not fought until 25 minutes to
midnight. The delay In setting the
scenery, which Is rather elaborate, will
be done away with as the stage hands
get more familiar with its handling.
Seven acts must move quickly to be
presented in the compass of the theatre
goer's evening. A marked diversity of
opinion as to the pronunciation of Hen
rietta is a matter ,to which the stage
manager's attention is respectfully directed.

The little town of Winlock is wrought
up by the affair and it is said that Al

old friends in ihe place. His aged mother,
who resides in Everett, is -broken
hearted, and In a letter to Mr. Downs
declares she cannot believe that her son
can be guilty of such a crime.

The young wife of Alvord is on the
point of a nervous breakdown and is
soon to become a mother. When her
were, confined to this part of the ship
there was little hope for the vessel and
the 200 passengers, besides the crew.
"I gave orders that every available
stream be directed on the seathlnif
flames and that all passengers aboard
should be 'summoned on deck.
"The command was obeyed and I then
selected certain members of the crew to
stand by the lifeboats. I ordered those
among the passengers, who were willing,
to assist tiie remainder of the crew in
fighting the seemingly destructive fire
"No panicky feeling was observed at
this time, and I informed the women
and children that if they would obey me
the vessel would be saved.
"I returned to the burning part of the
ship and at that time I observed that
little progress had been made In stop
ping the progress of the flames and, in
facf, they were gaining such headway
that it seemed certain the forward part
of the vessel would be overtaken.
Ordered the Boats towered.
"I returned outside and ordered the
boats lowered. I did so because the
women and children and some of the
men passengers were showing great
fear, and I knew that a panto would be
fatal. The sea was choppy and ugly,
but I knew that the. boats could II vo.
One, however, was swept under the
stern of the' ship soon after launching
and one young , woman , was drowned.
Another boat was swamped a balf-mlle
from the ship, and I believe the fatality
was due to poor management. Five of
the occupants of the boat were drowned.
A third boat tipped over while being
lowered and four sailors were swept
under the ship before they could be
rescued.
"Three pantrymen, who slept In the
glory-hole- aft, were , suffocated and
burned, having lost their way in gain

"I took the .bridge and sailed in the
direction Of the Columbia river. It was
Impossible to make the point and I
then assumed charge of the fire-fighters.
For two hours we battled with fate,
and were rewarded finally in subduing
