District Attorney Cameron saying thst It seems to be of no use to try to bring the man to Justice when the municipal court al lows him to escape. The history of the Hoaglln case Is , .about as follows, definite dates being liard to find owing to the loss of the papers filed during lta first stages: Karly' In the 'year, or about the first of April, complaint was made against Don Hoaglln charging that he was re sponsible for the downfall of a young girl, Catherine Glrard. The case was taken up by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, then of the. Travelers' Aid society, and Hoag lln was arrested on a warrant Issued from the municipal court charging him I . . witn an lnoiotariic misdemeanor. Hoaglln was taken into court on this , rhsrge and his case continued on being . , allowed to go on a $260 bond, furnished by his father. Owing to the condition of -the girl, who was then In the hos- pltal, and to the further fact that Mrs. Paldwln was called to California, toe case was continued for some time, i When it was finally railed Hoaglln did f not put In an appearance and John j Stevenson, then deputy district attorney J In charge of the case, called upon the ; father to produce Hoaglln for trial. , threatening that unless the defendant was in court the state would sue on the : bond. Bond Ra Disappeared. -. Hoaglln did not appear in court and Stevenson called for the bond prepara- tory to beginning suit for the recovery from "the father. Clerk Hennessey did not have the document, neither did he J have the complaint, both having mys . teriously disappeared from his desk. Without the documents in tho case i. ..Jt was impossible to bring action for I the recovery of the band and as Hoag-- lin could not be found he could, not be : prosecuted. i I-ater Hoaglln came hnrk to Port land and his presence l-.-fime known to the authorities, upon which n sec ond complaint. charging prartleally the same offense but against nriothei glr'. was Issued against htm. Peveial cf forts to find Iloaglln were niiide by the district attorney's office and at lust he was found bv "I'aJilv" Maher an.l brought to Manning's office In tho Fen ton building. He whs smoking n cigar when he reached the offlee and asked to be allowed to stand In the hall while he finished It Tho request was grant ed and Honglln decamped, leaving Ma her holding the sack. When search was made for the sec ond ccmplalnt among the records of the clerk's office In the municipal court, the document could not be located. No further action was lauen against Hoaglln until last week when he was again arrested, this time on a third complaint sworn to by Mrs. Baldwin, chars-Ins- him with illicit cohabitation. He was brought Into the municipal court on this charge Friday. July 10, his case was continued to the next dav and he was remanded to the county Jail. Here la where the difference tween the accounts of District Attorney Cameron and Municipal Clerk MUner begins. Cameron says that he told Mll ner that he Intended to file a state char? aratnst Hoaalln and asked that the man be held Ih'Jall without bond. until he had time to file me reiony charge. Mllner contends that Cameron at no time spoke to him about the case prior to the time he file the state charge several davs later and that he knew nothing of Hoaglln's escapades of the past.

Monday. July 15. District Attorney Cameron appeared with the state charge alleging the commission of a felony by Hoaglln, and wfcen told of his having been released on bond was much sur prised. It was then agreed between Cameron and Milner that the bond, upon the rearrest of Hoaglln, should be $1,- 000. It would appear from the history of the case therefore, that Hoaglln's es cape from punishment lies more at the door -xif the district attorney's office and of his former clerk and present deputy, Frank Hennessy, and at the door of "Paddy" Maher, than at the door of John Mllner. Had the papers in the first case not been lost while under the charge of Mr. Hennessy, Hoaglln would either have been produced for trial or the $250 bond would have been forfeited. Had Maher kept his eyes on Hoaglln in the secoud case he could not have escaped. In the third case It Is a question of veracity between District Attorney Cam ertffi and Clerk Mllner as to Hoaglln'B release on the $100 bond, and of expla nation by the district attorney as to why, if he desired to be sure of Hoag lln's safekeeping in Jail, he did not file the state charge on Friday or Saturday, July 10 or 11, instead of waiting until Monday, July 13, after the man had been released on the? misdemeanor charge filed against him. t $1.0; four full lots and part of wltM ,,. .. ,i hours In th ruse o two lots la Aiblrv. v'.ucd at $5.:t) h-t.i- k. ntv. i r.,u,v John Claudlancs, who is under arres by the water company, as well as (hejon his own confession that he blew up present potto station site and use the the Gai.gher houses In East Oakland. it is tiKei.v uibi viauaiancs win euvcr be branded aa a monumental liar and released from prison, or will be formally charged with the crime and an effort made to involve some of the defendants In the graft cases.

This ordinance which has met with greater popular approval than any other measure dealing with the liquor ques tion before the council has been delayed and fussed with more by the council- men than any of the others, and unless the councilmen pass It next Wednesday a popular demonstration can be expect ed at the following meeting. The measure has the hearty Indorse ment of City Attorney John P. KUva naugh, as well as his chief deputy, Frank S. Grant, the members of the po lice department and other city officials In addition to the citizens generally. The city attorney's office declares that the measure can be enforced If passed, and will eliminate all the trouble that has arisen lb the past, Despite these expressions from the legal department several of the mem bers of the council say they can see le gal obstacles In the way. Those who favor the passage of the measure say that the only objection that has been raised comes from the liquor men them selves. , Councilman Drlscoll Introduced the ordinance and will vote for It when It comes up. Councilman Wills said that he would vote for it. Councilman An nand signed the report recommending its passage. Councilmen Bennett and Cellars are In favor of the measure. Councilman Dunning will vote for it. Councilman Kellaher will vote for It. Councilman Baker said the measure would have to be passed. That makes eight out of the 15 mem bers of the council who lean favorably toward the ordinance, but It Is by no means certain that thev will all vote for It when It comes before the council. It Is believed, however, that when the councilmen opposing the measure see that It will pass without their votes they will run under cover to escape the wrath of public opinion. LIKE "OLIVE BRANCH" Will Lipman of Llpman, Wolfe & Co. returned to Portland last night after a four months' trip abroad during which time he toured Germany, Austria and France in an automobile. Mr. Lipman traveled about 2,000 miles in machines In the different European countries. While Mr. Lipman encountered un usually bad weather for that part of the world, he enjoyed the trip Just the same. This was-owing to the splendid condition of the roads throughout the European countries. From April 1 un til June 15 Mr. Lipman and his party had but 11 clear days. But the weather did not interfere with the travelers in the least and they continued their Jour neys aa though nothing Hnusua! was happening. "The European countries are feeling the currency famine of iast fall this year almost as severely as we Am ericans felt it fast year." Mr. Lipman said this morning. "In more ways than one have the lands across the Atlantic been affected. For Instance the tour ist business Is on the wane. Ameri cans who usually go abroad every summer are staying at home this sea son to make up for the 'money strin gency they were compelled to pass through last fall. Effect of Panic. "I visited several glass factories that had been closed down altogether simply FLIMSY DOORS OUT THEY EOOLED POLICE before a great while would be running Into the millions each year." ' Mr. Lipman says that more than 100 miles of road In the vicinity of Carlsbad are kept up at an expense of something like $o,000 a year. "One of the secrets of the European roadbuilders," says Mr. Lipman, "is their laws and the speedy work that is done as soon as there Is a hole of any Kind in any of the macadam of tne thoroughfares.

The door was battered i down, but as several exits from the gambling den had been thoughtfully Why a Chinaman has his strong doors made with extra reenforcements on one side and weak, flimsy hinges on the other is a question the nolice have never locate I oeen aoie to solve There Is still such a gulf between the office of the sheriff and the county court than when the sheriff desires to make a date with the county com missioners he sends a letter. Although to ordinary eyesight there Is a fairly plain pathway, only a few hundred feet long, between the two offices, they were so far apart a few days ago that the sheriff put his request Into type writing when he decided to ask the commissioners for a conference on the subject of Kelly's Butte. So far the commissioners have made no reply and fixed no date. The com missioners have said that they expect to run the rockpile henceforth with city prisoners alone. The law gives the sheriff control of county prisoners and declines to take ohe-half of a divided authority. The sheriff has not been sending any more county prisoners to Kelly's butte, and the number of county men there has been reduced to 24 in a total of 64. The sheriff haa made no demand on the county court to turn over tne county prisoners wno are there and things are sliding along as usual under the direction of the court. The sheriff's letter to the commis sioners makes no suggestions, but Is amiable in tone and Is said to make a sound like an olive branch. But it Is distinctly non-commltal, and merely asks for a cpnference. An unusual assortment of matrimon ial misfits was placed on parade be fore Judge ODay in the circuit court this morning, v Six wives that Cupid de ceived told how niggardly and heart less men can be, while two husbands, somewhat soured by the lemons they had picked, told of unnpproclattve wives that did not like to sweep and wash dishes and forsook domestic, cares for gayer company. An obituary eulogy In the form of a letter written by himself was one or th exhibits offered by Mrs. May Otis WIelnnd to prove the perfidy of Augustus John Wleland. In fact, ha sent her word thnt he had died twice, once In California and again In Alas ka. Her suspicions were aroused, and not many mouths ago she saw him In the flesh In Taeotna, soon after she had received a letter Informing her that the writer had burled him In Alaska. She paid she had satisfied herself thnt Wleland himself wrote thp letters, telling of Ms death. The letters were signed "John Worthy." one being mailed from Everett, Wash., and the other from Tacoma. Mrs. WIelnnd was married In James town. N. D.. In 18!7. She said that Wleland was a confirmed gambler and about a year after their marrlftgx they parted because she would not give him money to gamble wltn. in isn a let ter came from a doctor Jn California, telling bee that WIelnnd had been killed in a dispute over some mines. Later a man came with the same story. Poor Jack Burled. Last December came the first letter from "John Worthy," written to her mother, Mrs. E. P. Holt. An answer to this brouB-ht another letter from . Ta coma. In which the writer said he burled Poor Jack himself, and that Jack on his deathbed asked the Lord to forgive his ,wlfe for all the trouble she had caused him. The writer also hinted that Jack left from . $76. 000 to $100,000 that was to go to her If she were not married again. "Jack was a hard worker." wap"John Worthy's" brief comment. Mrs. Wleland lost little time In going to Tacoma after the last letter came. She did not locate "John Worthy." but did see her husband, and that was enough. She came back to Portland and began suit for divorce. She did not ask for any portion of "Poor Jack's" fortune. . Although she was srlven an allow ance of only $1 per week by her hus band, and sometimes only 50 eents, Mrs. Mabel L. Long testified that Ralph B. Long required her to submit to him an itemized statement of her xpendltures, showing where every cent went. Usually, she said, he was dissatisfied with the way It was spent, although he used It for necessary clothing. Once he got $2.60 together and bought some nderclothlng and she said he became ery angry at her extravagance. She aid he would not pay the doctor and he threatened to kill her If he saw her n the street.not permitting her to ko anywhere except In his company. She said he made good wages as a saddle- maker, but this did not help her al lowance. Finally, she declnred, he made false aci'uautlons about her and she left him.

He had come from San Francisco for a business trip In the northwest and Invited her to come north, saying that would be a goon time ror ner to visit ner parents, then living In Spokane. He met her In Portland and saw her away on the train for Spokane. After that he sent her telegrams and letters telling of his re turn to Han Francisco. Then he wrote that he was on the eve of departure for iuiwaii ana mat tnev were not suited for each other. Bertrnnd Rlvenburgh, the .husband, is now connected with a plantation on the Island of Oahu. Their married life began in August. 1904. Charles Dupuls. who win ma3-ried In August, 1892, and testified that he was aesertea jess man two years later, nas heard that his wife has had two hus bands since she left him. One of them was named Woods. He never heard that she has obtained a divorce, and has never tried to find out. He said he un derstood that she 'in now suing for di vorce from her third catch. She left hfm because she wanted to mingle with the gay world, he said, and did not like the duties of a wife on a form. The wife's name Is, or was, Hattle M. Du puls. Another wife who became tired of housework and pined for greater lib erty, according to James Monto, was Hester Monto. They were married in Portland in October. 1904.

RESIDENTS CRY FOR Ml WATER Following the story In last Sunday's Journal has come a cry from residents in j the districts where the water pres sure Is so low that water cannot be ob tained during sprinkling hours, asking that the city adopt some regulation gov erning sprinkling throughout tho City. The protests of these people culminated at the meeting of the health and police cdmmittee of the council this morning when a resolution was recommended for passage asking that the water board adopt rules which will do away with the nuisance. Councilman Wills stated that in Sell wood he ls unable to get- water at 6 o'clock, while the members of the engine-house" In Sellwood have to carry water for the horses to drink at night. Accompanying the resolution was the map which was reproduced In Ths Jour nal, showing the effect of sprinkling upon the water supply. At the rate usea on hot days tho maximum flow otfen reaches nearly 10,000,000 gal lons for every 24 hours. 'This flow Is reached at 7 o'clock Just In the middle or tne sprinkling period, which endures from 5 to 9 o'clock. Opinions as to the best rule to obvi ate the sprinkling evil were expressed this morning and one was that it would te a good plan if tho people were al lowed to sprinkle only every other dav. Other schemes were unfolded, but the piaus in umer cities wnere citizens are allowed only certain small-s zed no sles and allowed to sprinkle only so long an mcy num me nose in nana, were not touched upon. In some cities no artificial device, or allowed to be used, such aa the circle spray ana tne long pipe rountalns which are allowed to play on lawns for hnnra at a time without any reaard to th needs of other 'Water consumer or th general public safety at times of fires. The water board, however, has cogni zance of these rules in other cities, and unless the water-users exercise better judgment in using water drastlo steps win do taxen to stop the waste.

The aged man is a neighbor of Mrs. Khury, and ho secured permis sion to speak In favor of allowing her to take her bnby with her to her farm at Auburn, Or. It was with difficulty that Khury was prevented from addressing the court himself, and Mrs. Khury also sought to enter the verbal fray, al though both sides were represented bv attorneys.- All of this ejoquence was provoked by a motion to modify the aocree or divorce so tnat Mrs. Khury may take the child with her to tho farm, and this Judge O'Day consented to do, allowing the husband the right to visit the little one on Sundays be tween 12 and 1 o'clock. Kbury's attorney asserted that when the father had iron- to sea tha child the mother wyuld pot pertnit him ;o soo the little one, not even allowing him to deliver clothing thnt he had bought On the other hand. Mrs. Khury asserts that she Is In deadly fear of her husband and says ha causes a row whenever he appears.1 She declares that he has threatened to kldnan the child.

They were continually springing up, Mrs. Khury with her babe In arms, . wanting to address thn court and to hear every word that was spoken. Judge O'Day said that Khurv will be punished for contempt If ha violates the order by causing troulde when he goes to see the child. Elf! SUEY FIGURES Ii LIABILITY LIST William- N.
