Minneapolis, Minn., Sept 7 A. K. Rut
ledge, deputy game warden at BemidJI,
has been Instructed to go to Colralne
and arrest Teddy Roosevelt Jr., for
hunting In Minnesota without the 11
censo required by law of a foreign resi
dent. It Is all the result of Captain Green
way of Duluth, formerly in command
of the "rouirh riders" Inviting Teddy Jr.
to take a hunting trip on his private
property near Colralne. The game and
Ilsh commission at the capital say the
Invitation was accepted and that the
two are already on the hunting ground.
TJie matter was called to the attention
of "Samuel F. Fullerton, superintendent
of fish hatcheries. Fullerton called him
up on the long distance telephone and
explained matters. The law requires
non-resident licenses to bo taken out
with the commission through Its offi
cers at the capital.
Not only was no license Issued for
young Roosevelt, but there was not
even an application on hand.
The law must bo enforced against a
president's son as well as against any
oth.sr offender, was the ruling of Mr.
Avery, the executive agent, and he at
once Instructed Deputy Warden Rut
ledge of BemidJI to hurry to Colralne
and get on the trail of Teddy Jr.

Firemen to Meet at Chicago.
(United Tresi Lened Wlr.)
Oklahoma Cliy, Okla,, Sept. 7. The
National Firemen's association of Amer
ica selected Chicago for the convention
city In 1908.
There will be na city gaxbatre crema
tory erected within the city limits of
the east aide If lt Is possible lor the
taxpayers and residents there to pre
vent lt.
From the Willamette to Mount Tabor
and from Sellwood to the southern
boundary of St. Johns east side resi
dents are up In arms against the pro
posal to establish the Institution within
the confines of the residence or busi
ness districts. The roadway for the
establishment of a municipal plant,
which a short time ago was cle;ir
and unobstructed, has suddenly become
a pathway of objections. Practically
every Improvement association east of
the Willamette has entered a strenuous
protest against the building of a cre
matory on the proposed Sullivan gulch
site and now still more vigorous pro
tests are being lodged against the erec
tion of a crematory anywhere within
the city limits.
Last night the East Twenty-eighth
Street Improvement association went on
record in opposition to the garbage
plant and aside from appointing a com
mittee to draft a protest against tho
proposed work of the city, Individual
property owners will wait upon the
council, council committees and health
board to protest against an east side
plant.
In addition to entering these wedges
It was stated last night at the meet
ing of the association that from the
pulpits of the various east side churches
today, ministers will ask congregations
to attend the council meetings and
voice tho eaRt side's objections.
President Motter appointed a commit
tee consisting of M. Pugh, F. Dubois
and R. A. Reid to draw up the protest
which will be presented the first of
this week.
With 1,300 members, all of whom are
voters, determined to use the ballot If
necessary to prevent the location of the
new garbage crematory on tho east side
between the Steel and Madison street
bridges, Multnomah camp No. 77,

Ban Francisco, Sept. 7. With a great
burst of flames and a great red glow
of light that could be seen at sea for
miles and which Illuminated In a wlerd
way the seal rocks and the tall cliffs
of Sutro heights, the famous Cliff
House at the ocean beach was totally
destroyed tonight The big wooden
structure burned as lt pleased for there
was no means of saving lt from the
devouring flames. The Richmond dis
trict fire apparatus won summoned to
tho scene but could render only feeble
reslstence to the rapidly spreading fire.
The building, which was about to be
thoroughly renovated, waa a complute
loss.
The Cliff House was erected on the
site of the "old" Cliff resort owned
years hko by Captain Foster, a pioneer.
The building's foundation was on a
ledge of rocks that projects from the
base of Sutro Heights about two hun
dred leet into the soa. The structure
was a tall wooden affair and contained
lower and upper barrooms, billiard
halls, dining rooms, summer balcony
and music nail. There is scarcely a
traveler to or from tho orient who does
not know of the Cliff House and every
eastern visitor to San Francisco knew
of lt and paid lt his respects. The
resort was one of tho most widely ad
vertised and best known beach houses
In tho world.
The fire Is supposed to have started
in the kitchen, which is on the "rock"
floor of the building, there having been
a floor below the driveway which
curves around the base of Sutro
Heights and leads to the beach. The
entire structuro was soon In flames
Word was telephoned from Bheehan's
and other beach resorts to the fire
department and the Richmond district
engines, one mile and a half away, were
sent to lend assistance. 1 he move was
useless, for bv the lime the tired horses
hauled the heavv engines over the hill
to the beach the tire had com
enveloped the Cliff House and
bevond saving.
Several years ago the "old" Cliff
house was burned. That quaint, low,
rambling building was In early days tne
favorite resort for men who had made
fortunes in the mines. Many gay par
ties were held there, and many Im
mense deals were consummated over
Sherry's. Captain Foster sold the
place Just before the fire claimed lt,

1'urlng the earthquake of April. 1!)06
a r.-nort was spread broadcast that the
Cliff House had been thrown into the
sea which beat Incessantly at Its rock
foundations. The earthquake did no
damage to the structure whatsoever
but the fire has been Its undoing. Seal
Rocks are within a stones throw of
what was the site of the building and
there Is little doubt that a new and
better Cliff House will supplant tho
one destroyed.
The fire, which was exceedingly spec
tacular, started In the kitchen or from
sparks flying from a rubbish pile burn
ing near the hotel. Mechanics working
on me ouiiuing gave tne alarm, and did
their best to extinguish the blaze. Hf
fore the first fire engines arrived, the
whole lower part of the building was
on fire. Fanned by a breeze, the flames
soon spread and enveloped the whole
structure, so that small buildings near
the hotel also caught. The flames were
chocked within 20 feet of the main bath
nnvlllon. The loss Is estimated at $ 1 nil -009.

Denver, Colo., Sept. 7. After being
denied the right to marry without be
ing excommunicated by the Catholic
church of which they are devout mem
bers, death Is about to step in and
help "Portland" James A. Doyle, a mil
lionaire mine owner of Cripple Creek,
and Miss Marie Duffy, a beautiful tele
phone operator of Denver, out of their
dilemma.
In the palmy days of Cripple Creek
Just as Doyle was merging from the
poverty class Into the ranks of mil
lionaires, through fabulous gold strikes
in l lie Portland mine at Victor, lie met
the dashing and very unconventional
Daphne Ilelie Sutton who came from a
little town In Iowa, fell in love with
her and made her his wife. Mrs. Doyle
was also known us Hello Daniels be
fore her marriage and she claimed no
particular place as her home.
Married life hung heavily on Mrs.
Doyle and she grew tired of the re
strictions home ties placed upon her.
Doyle forgave her conduct time after
time, but finally divorced her.
Mrs. Doyle next became friendly with
Kid McCoy, the pugilist, who borrowed
a $1,000 diamond ring from her and
lost it, he claimed.
Two years ago, Mrs. Doyle, still beau
tiful, married a rich copper manufac
turer named Whitley and toured the
world with him. Again domestic life
became Irksome to the dashing young
woman and her husband found ample
reason to divorce her.
Two years ago, Mrs. Whitley married
Charles Hepner, a rich mining man of
Rlair, Nevada, and went to Honolulu
with him. Mrs. Hepner's liberal views
on life led to a divorce.
In the meantime she had become af
flicted with consumption. Ten days ago
she came to Denver, her old stamping
ground, for one "last" good time. Now
her death Is hourly expected In a local
hospital and when her soul passes to
the great beyond the romance of Jim
my Doyle and Marie Duffy will be con
summated In marriage.

Los Angeles, Sept. 7. Une more wlfej
than he admitted having had Is plac4
to the credit of J. Whyte Cvans and
one more alleged blackmailing lettef
from the facile pen of Dr. J. 8. OwenM
than has hitherto appeared, were two
of the revelations today In the caus
celebre Involving tho Impassive doctot
and the pyrotechnic promoter.
Prior to claiming Mrs. Minna Hano
Evans and Mrs. Gertie Dewltt Evan
as wives, Evans had married a womiQ
In California whose home waa In Tu
lare.
Evans married his first wife In Saa
Francisco. The pair moved to Tulara,
where he started a business college.
The pair had a child soon after th
birth of which tho woman left him.
Ho followed and found her. They quar
reled; his motlier-ln-law advanced into
the argument and for what resulted
Evans was arrested and charged with
disturbing the peaee.
This Infelicity gave his wife's mothej
the opportunity to proclaim that he haq
served time In t lie penitentiary, an4
the story was published at that time la
a Tulare newspaper.
The first Mrs. Kvans of the thre
known to have existed was divorced ill
Kan Francisco. Evans had returned to
Tulare and soon thereafter eloped with
and married Miss Dewltt, daughter oi
a well known Tulare family.
Evans lived with this wife several
years and to them a girl baby was born.
Shortly before she secured a dlvoroe
Mrs. Dewett Evans Is said to have at
tempted suicide. She shot herself la
the left shoulder and Dr. Owens, who
was one of her witnesses in the divorce
trial, was authority for tho sulcld
story. Owens attended Mrs. Evans ao
her physician and had her confidence
to such a 'legree that In a fit of pique)
at her husband she exposed the stain
upon his record, so much ror ivana
wives.
Dr Owens, who appeared beforo
Justice Selph this morning to have the)
date set for his preliminary examlna
tlon on the charge of attempted extor
tion was author of another letter which)
Deputy District Attorney Paul J. Mrx
Cormick. who has charge of the prose
cution, construes as a blackmailing
epistle.
This letter was written three yaarf
ago from Chicago, the man addressed
being J V. McNeil of 3577 Dayton ave-
nue, this city. While the contents o
this letter are not to be made publlo
for the present, McCormaek says It
