Hoaglln, accused of ruining Catherine
GIrard and another irlrl. No blame,
from lh6 face of the facta, can be laid
at the door of John Mllncr, present 'clerk

a bond of 2S0 from the possession or

last coup by which he was let out of
the county Jail on a bond of 1100 fur-
"Tilshed for a misdemeanor charge after

decided difference of opinion between
, District Attorney Cameron and Clerk
' J! liner, the first contending- that he
. .'gve notice of the state charge to be

. . In Jail, the second stating In Just as
positive terms that Cameron never con

. and the state charge had been filed
against him.
Hoagltn Ooes Scott Tf.
'In the meantime, Hoaglln Is wander
. Jng at h!s own free will outside the
grasp of the law and, apparently no ef-
fort la being made to find him. 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.
Father Pnta TTp Ball Bond.
At any rate, Hoaglln's father ap
peared before Municipal Judge Van
Zante and Clerk Mllner. Saturday after
noon. Julr 11, and asked to furnish ball
for his son. He demurred to putting
un 350 in cash and was told that the

since, resulting in the forfeiture of the
bond.
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.

It was recommended to the council for
passage. .
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

' 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

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

fore Judge ODay in the circuit court
this morning, v Six wives that Cupid de

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.

Mrs. EITIe (1. Rlvenburgh testified that
the last time she suw her husband was
when he told her good-bye at the depot
In Portland in March, 1906. 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

the .husband, is now connected with a

married life began in August. 1904.
Charles Dupuls. who win ma3-ried In

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

housework and pined for greater lib
erty, according to James Monto, was
Hester Monto. They were married in

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.
BROOKLYN PARTY
ARRIVES SUNDAY
James Stout of Flrland, 90 years of
age and a veteran of the Civil war,
although not an attorney, made a plea
In the circuit court, before Judge O'Doy
this morning In behalf of Mrs. Louisa
Khury, whose difficulties with her hus
band, Najlb Khury, have furnished a
great deal of business for 4he nollco
court and the upper court as well tho
past year. 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. At the time of te last seance
in the municipal court Judge Cameron
told Khury he would get 80 days at
the rockpile the next time he was
brought In for creating a disturbance.
in court mis morning tne bailiff hd
difficulty keeping Khury and his wife
in their seats. 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.

PUZZLES POLICE
Having balled himself out by being
allowed to utilize J500 of his roll of
3660, Douglas McDonald, the young man
who confesses to taking two books from
the public library, presented himself at
the municipal court this morning after
being free since late yesterday after
noon. His case was set for Monday.
It is expected that the police will be
able to connect him successfully wltlt
the thefts of books from the library
which have been taking place ever
since McDonald has been In the city.
McDonald declares, however, le had
nothing to do with the 100 odd books
which have recently been stolen.
This 360 roll of McDonald s Is In
teresting. Nearly everv one of the
greenbacks is of tho J5 denomination
Insued bv the National Bonk of th
Pacific, Ban Francisco, and all of the
same series. The hank has been com
municated with, as there ls much doubt
as to how McDonaJd came by his money.
