Warrants for the arrest of Whitney L. Boise, prominent in the club, political, social and business life of Portland, were is sued this morning frotn the mu nicipal court, charging embezzle ment from the Hawthorne estate of some $6,000 on five separate and distinct complaints. The complaints were sworn to by Mrs. Catherine H. Collins, one ot the icirs of the Hawthorne estate. The alleged embezzlements from the estate, however, may reach the claim of $150,000. Boise-is to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, every ef- ort having been made to allow him to sever his connections with thetserrii ,ke'gmd 'wtrar he could or leave the state arid start ife anew where he would not be troubled with his absorption of the Hawthorne funds. He has refused to do this, and it is now he intention to prosecute him to he limit of the law. i Throughout the trouble Mrs. Boise has stood loyally by her husband and will not believe that he has done wrong. Boise, when asked this morning for a statement of his side of the case said that hethad not seen the nature of the charges against him and until he had did not care to make any statement for publication. Reluctant to Act. "It is with reluctance that the members of the Hawthorne estate have been forced to take criminal action against Mr. Boise," said M. O. Collins, husband of Mrs. Cather ine H. Collins, the complaining wit ness, this morning. "Mr. Boise has been given an opportunity to leave Portland and start life anew but he has refused to do so and has con tinued to force himself into the busi ness affairs of the estate. It has become necessary therefore to prose cute him and It is the Intention of the complainants to prosecute him to' the limit." The five suits were filed this morn ing, each charging embezzlement to the aggregate amount of $8,000.

"I have nothing to say at this time," said Mr. Boise, when asked for a state ment regarding the case. "I have not seen the charges and until I know their nature do not wlah to make any state ment for publication." Experts on Books.

According to the story, which has slowly worked Itself out into public knowledge, it was discovered some time ago that Mr. Boise had been exceeding his authority as the agent and manager of the Hawthorne estate and an ac counting was demanded. Matters which came to light caused the heirs of Dr Hawthorne, who consist of his widow, Mrs. Rachel L. Hawthorne, Mrs. M. O. Collins find Mrs. Boise, to oust Mr. Boise from the management of the es tate and begin an Investigation Into the transactions of the pust. In this, how ever, Mrs. Boise has stood by her hus band, believing him not to have been guilty of any irregularity, and It has been through her pleadings for her hus band that the vigorous prosecution of the investigations has been held up un til this time. Tangle of Sates. The beginning of the tangle dates bafk for 10 years or more, when Mr, Boise first began to represent the Hflwthorne estate. For some time be fore the settlement of the estate through the probate court he acted aa the at torney for the heirs. In 1898 Mrs. Hawthorne and the two daughters banded together and incor porated their holdings Into the Haw thorne Estate, a regularly organized corporation. Mrs. Hawthorn was made president or Uie corporation, Mrs. Boise secretary ana Mrs. Collins, then Mrs. W, Foster Beck, treasurer. Boise acted as manager and was supposed to work ror tne corporation at a salary or loo per month. Since that time up to the date or his rejection as manager, how ever, he told the members of the cor poration that the estate was badly In volved, that It needed the monev worse than himself and that he would not draw his salary. At a recent meeting of the members of the corporation, Mrs. Hawthorne was reelected president. Mrs. Boise vice-president and Mrs. Collins secretary and treasurer. Mr. Boise was not reelected manager, and all matters now coming before the estate consid ered In open meeting and there decided. Boise has sold, according to the story, durlni? the nearly 10 years of his stew ardship approximately $500,000 worth of property belonging to the Hawthorne estate, which Is estimated to be worth between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000. Out of this amount of property sold, the story has It, that the members of the estate have received nothing more than an economical living. Lived Comfortably, Boise has lived In better circum stances than either of the other mem- i bers of the corporation. He has ex plained this to Mrs. Boise, so It is said, by the contention that all his money came to him as retaining and other fees gathered In his practice as an attorney. It has also been shown that R. L. Cate had gathered in $40,000, which a short time before his death he admitted having taken from money due the es tate. In return for this amount he deeded over to the estate practically all the property he possessed, as Indemnity. His holdings, however, did not cover the entire amount. W. B. Cate. brother of R. L.

Mr. Boise does not admit having got the $140,000 or $150,000. but R. L. Cate did admit having profited by his con nection with the estate. He was the agent who sold lands in the Hawthorne tract often times building bouses on the lots for the purchasers. While so engaged he collected $40,000 which he admitted transferring to his own ac count, while he stated that he had given checks aggregating $10,000 to Boise, which Boise in turn has stated that lie deposited under his own name.

He . says, however, that Boise gave him authority to1 do this and that he had entered into an agreement with Boise, by which he was to Duy stooK with money or tne Haw thorne estate for the Hawthorne ranch, which Cate was occupying. Boise has stated that he did make such an agree ment and gave the bank verbal author ity to honor Cate s checks, but that Cate exceeded his authority in that he paid for groceries, pianos and sent his children to the agricultural college by means of these same checks. Other Chang's. It is also charged that Boise while manager of the Hawthorne estate served actively as attorney for various corporations and Individuals which were transacting business with the es tate. He therefore appeared on both sides of these transactions. One in stance has been brought to light In connection with the improvement of the streets in the Hawthorne tract, the contract for which was let to Elwood Wild, who has- offices with Boise.
