(Jesraal Special Service.) London. Aug. II. The Birmingham assise court was oa Saturday the scene of a most moving; human drama. A young man, Arthur Harper, son of one of the best-known solicitors of the city, and a tailor, Frederick Vallla, were Indicted for having ' obtained sums amounting to 18,100 by falsa pretenses. The. manner in which the fraud ,waa a Urged' to have been committed wag by the preparation of. fictitious deed re lating to property, with forged signs tures appended. On the strength of these deeds the sums In question were obtained on mortgage from two leading uirmingnam solicitors. Harper pleaded guilty to the charge of having forged the attestation of one of the deeds, but denied that he had forged the deeds themselves, while Vallls pleaded not aullty to all the uaharirrs. 1 1r.li, , . , . vHiiiw in in doi saia inn ne nu made Harper's acquaintance four or five years ago over a game of chess. They soon oecame intimate mends, chess be tng the principal link between them. One day Harper asked witness to take some papers round to a law stationer's and get a deed engrossed from them without mentioning Hsrpsr s name, on a later occasion Harper came to him and asked him to fill In a date In a deed. He did so. and Harper then turned over the deed and asked him to sign a name on the back. Did Yot Think. Counsel What did you think about ltT The witness rl didn't think about It; i anew notning or wnat it was about. He might have asked me to sign my own death warrant. I was under great obligations to Harper and would nave done anything for film, provided It was not wrong. Harper then entered the witness box and in a voice almost Inaudible through emotion Insisted that Vallls had no Idea of what he was signing. "I took every means that he should not know. He has Infinite trust In me. He has not hsd a penny out of the transaction." A few minutes later Haroer burst Into violent sobbing In the dock. "I don't want to go to prison with Vallls on my mina.7 ne murmured: "it would drive me mad." Addresslns the lurv on behalf of Vallla, Mr. Bussard, K. C,. remarkd that it wae very sad to think that the name of a reaDected aollr.ltnr nhntilri have been dragged through the mire of criminal court. At this point Harper's wife and mother burst Into tears, while Harper himself fell forward in the dock In a swoon. Justice Jelf directed the wo ladles to be led out of court and the prisoner to be taken downstairs during counsel's address. counsel, continuing, said the case seemed to rrow sadder as It nrrr1i) There was, however, one ray of satis faction in the darkness the prisoner.

ALL NEW YORK WHISTLES LATEST POPULAR MUSIC Mrs. Blatch Angry Because Manager of Hoffman House Refuses to Admit Her to Dining-Room With out Man Acting as Her Escort. 1 (By a Staff Correspondent.) New Tork, Aug. 14. In some respects 4 New Tork City Is essentially prc-rin claJL det a couple of men stop on Broad- ' way and gase Intently at some high ' building and immediately several hun dreds of people will stand and look too. Soon there will be a thousand looking k and watching, but the peculiar thing ; about the crowd that a stranger will notice is that none of the gazers will ' ask what it is all about New Tork ' grows enthusiastic over trifles slmul " taneously. Let one particular thing be v taken up and It is taken up with a vim ' nd vigor that is noticeable nowhere Ise. Take a song that becomes popular, ' for example. It will sweep Greater New Tork, and it will be hummed, played, . whistled and sung until it Is done to - the death. This year the song Is "Love Me and the World Is Mine." Wherever i you go you will hear this song through out the length and breadth of the me tropolis. Hand organs wheeze It out in the business streets, men sing it at out- v. Ings, women play It on the piano ail day long and all the bands and orchestras play it. Italians, Germans, Swedes, f. Austrians and even the Chinese are - singing it. Every One Blag-s Song. Tou go to the seaside resorts and , every conceivable musical instrument is working overtime on it Trolley par ties sing it. Amorous couples on steam- boats and at South Beach, Staten island, , a big calliope steams it out and you can l hear it 10 miles out at sea. I had a ' talk with Soma, the kapelmelster, and he declared to me that the people of . this city gets a brain storm on one tune ..and nothing will satisfy them but its rendition. So popular has this song be come that theatrical managers are using it for road purposes and nearly every company out next month will have some modification or variation of It. So I i warn all theatre-goers to prepare to re , celve a dose of what New Yorkers are taking In heroic measures. The whole town is talking of the ac ; tlon, of Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, ' - who Is suing Manager Cadlgaa of the Hoffman House because she and her j . friend. Mrs. Graham, were refused a .. meal the other day because they were without an escort of the male biped va riety. The excuse given was that the' management wanted to protect the pa-l :: . trons against unseemly conduot of the 1 women of the street, who would throng the place and make goo-goo eyes at the - men. Mrs. Blatch takes the stand that; no matter who the woman is, whether of : the under world or not, she has a right to be served In a public restaurant, so long- as she la orderly. She is backed 'by 11.000 members of the Self-Support-In Women league, and they are going to test the escort rule. - 1 Bttoar-M1 Woataa. Xtn? Blateh'g daughter, who is a? civil engineer and a woman of strong mind, the -other day went Into an excluse restaurant and asked to be served. She was told she could not be served be cause she was unaccompanied, and she went out and sot a man from the Amer ican District Messenger office and got all she wanted to eat I bring up this matter because It seems to be so anachronistic. There was a time when unaccompanied women could dine only In a very few places and would onln be admitted to but few threatres and places of amusement with out an escort I remember the old sign that used to hang in the lobbv of Wallack's theatre forbidding unescorted women from entrance. Delmonlco and Sherry used to bar unaccompanied wom en. But it is so different now. Anv woman respectably dressed and orderlv can get service at the Waldorf-Astoria, the Knickerbocker; in fact, any hotel. Even the exclusive Holland House will cater to an unaccompanied woman. As a matter of fact. Mynheer Cadi- gan s excuse Is only a pretext. The Hoffman House, the headquarters of state ana national uemocracy for years, is essentially a man's hotel. Mining men, stock speculators, sporting men and men about town resort to It be cause of the excellence of its cuisine. The Hoffman House noonday dinners cannot be surpassed anywhere in town. Men who patronize it want to smoke and indulge in emphatic language. It is here you hear the latest risque story. Doesn't Want Women. The manager doesn't "want women for that reason. The merry ha! ha! and loud and boisterous cachlnatlon,. the pointed story and the gamey incident would shock women and the presence of the women would stop the flow of soul as well as the more material and profit able vinous flow. Then, besides, the women, as one of the men connected with the hotel stated, are cheap "skates." They want the best and do not want to pay for it and are continu ally finding fault There Is a dining- room connected with the hotel for worn' en, but the women don't want to pa tronize it. They want to eat where the "horrid men" are. Mynheer Cadlgan maae a mistake. He should have served the ladies and they would nave soon beat a retreat. Some of the restrictive restaurants nave a way of drawing the sex line the way they have the color line. Soon after the decision of the court of ap peals matting it compulsory ror rerec tories and places of amusement to sup ply the colored brethren it was declared legal for managers of both kinds of public places to grade their prices as mey saw nt A colored brother would find himself up against it if he ventured inio an exclusive restaurant or theatre. o soon as he entered he was handed a special menu with prices on It that ujouw mm sataaoo. .

Her first hus ban shot a man on her account and la serving time. Her second husband committed suicide, and her third has secured a divorce. She has a thirst that would make a St Louis beer agent fro mad through sheer envy. She sits n restaurants and bewitches men Into buying wine galore. But it Is her brand of wine.

Burst of Applause. This remark evoked a burst of an. plauee In the court, which was Instantly In his stimmlnr un Justice Jelf said it was indeed a very painful and very remarkable case, In which It was shown how good and evil mingled and went to make up the human character. it wouia De or some cemfort to Har pers father to hear a man do what he (Justice Jelf) had never heard a man do before stand up through thick and thin for his friend, with never a thought for himself. The Jury found Vallls not guilty, and the acquitted man, pausing for a mo ment, wanted up to his companion, Har per, and shook him bv the hand In silence before leaving the dock. His lordship said that the case had been moet painful to him, but It was rorpery or tne blackest kind. He had Intended to Inflict a penalty of seven years' penal servitude, but, taking Into account all the circumstances, he would Inflict the most lenient sentence he pos sibly could that of three years' penal servuuae. Plans for a magnificent marble arch to be erected before the Union depot and to span Sixth street are In the hands of the Rose Festival association. .The structure Is to be In the nature of a weloome arch to those entering Portland and will cost 115,000. The marble for Its construction has already been se cured by the association and they prom ise that by another year the arch will be erected. It Is proposed to raise the tlS.000 re- ?ulred to carrv the work to a successful lnlsh either by securing an appropria tion rrom tne city tnrougn tne ii.ouo, 000 of bonds recently voted for park purposes or else by popular subscription. The srch Is proposed to serve the dual purpose of welcoming strangers Into Portlsnd's gates and of standing as a monument to the progress and develop ment of the Rose City. SeeifBS .already Draws. Designs for the arch have been drawn by David C. Lewis. Above It a broad base is to be left so that an heroic-sized bronze group typifying the coming of the white man or some similar subject In Oregon's history may be placed upon it. tie i ween tne columns, one on eacn side of tne main arcn win be placed statues or Lewis and Clark, the orig inal discoverers of Oregon and the old northwest territory. In the base will b drinking fountains on each side of the arch, so that the first water quaffed by the stranger in Portland will be the de licious Bull Run water.. The company will look to private generosity for the donation of the bronze groups and the Lewis and Clark figures. It Is proposed to have the entire or:h brilliantly illuminated. The Portland General Electric company has agreed to furnish lights for the arch free of, cost. Beneath the arch will be hung a pen lant of illuminated figures and letters, bear ing the words, "Welcome to the U ise City" and It will be so arranged that when conventions are being held ttsro the letters of the order can be plaeM in the pendant. Work towards securing the arch has progressed to the point where Francis Clarno has agreed to donate all the marble to be used. This marble Is now awaiting shipment at Mr. Clarno's quar ries on Prince of Wales Island in south- eastern Alaska. The color of the mar ble to be used has not yet been decided upon but out of the 21 varieties found In the Clarno quarries the committee expects to meet with no difficulty In coming to a satisfactory decision. The arch Is to be a modification of two .arches erected in recent years the Pewey trlumphsl arch of staff In New York to celebrate the return of Ad miral Dewey from Manila, end the bronze welcome arch recently erected Iri Denver. Certain characteristics of both arches will be utilized In the pro posed Portland arch. The arch, according to the plans of the Festival association. Is to be but the nucleus of a splendid plan for beau tlfylng the approach to the city from the Union station. ODtions hsve been secured on land facing the station and opposite the park owned by the railroad companies snd it Is hoped that this can be purchased by the city for park pur poses. If this plan Is carried out in stead of the ugly array of small build ings which now confronts the new ar rival in Portland the magnificent marble arch and green park with trees snd grass -will spell welcome for hlro.
