Declaring that an insane man must
sue by guardian, and that A. Ralph
Hammer, who la ; suing tha Crystal
Springs ' sanitarium for damages for
alleged mistreatment a a patient is
shown to be insane by the record In
the rase. Presiding Judee Bronaugh thla
morning granted 4 motion requiring that
lie sue through a guardian, or that hla
complaint ha disrniatea. ' i
-The court allowed the attorney for
the plaintiff "110111 March 1 to file his
petition for appointment of a guardian.
Thla tima was granted . bcauaa Hum
mer Is now on 64 days',parole from the
asylum at Salem and la visiting hla pa
rents in Spokane, Wash, February 37
Ma parole will expire, and tha plain
tlffa attorney says that, atepa will be
taken to have the young man reexam
ined aa to hia aanlty, bla contention, be
ing that Hammer can be shown to be
In condition for discharge.' '
. Was Enmate la. Wasal&fto j. V
'Harrison ' Allen and Dan J". Ma
larkey, representing tha sanitarium, j
showed the court that Hammer has
been an Inmate of an asylum inj
Washington, that he waa placed
under restraint in two inatltutions In
Portland, and that ha was committed to
the aaylum from Portland last July. He
waa released on parola on December 17.
An affidavit is on file from Dr. R.E. L.
Ktelner, superintendent of the asyVum,
to the effect that the young man is still
Insane, another affidavit to tha same
effect from Dr. R. I Gillespie, and tha
latter's statement that Dr. W. T. Wil
liamson ; holds ' the . same belief. Dr.
John Madden, on the other hand, has
certified that from recent examina
tion he beUleves Hammer Is sane.
At first Judge Bronaugh waa Inclined
to bold that tha defense bad not prop
erly raised the question of Hammer's
competency and that thla could only be
dona by a plea In abatement- But af
ter full argument thla morning tha
court aald that It was now clear that
action might ba taken on a motion.
Beoord Show Xnsaalty.
'The record here ahows that - tha
plaintiff Is Insane, and an Insane mas
cannot maintain an action," aald Judge i
Bronaugh. "If the queation -were raised
on a plea In abatement, which might be
tried by a Jury, it would become the
duty of tha court to Inatruct tha Jury
to return a verdict on tha record, which
Is binding on this court. It would
therefore ba only a waste of time to re
quire the question to be raised in that
way." ,v '' ' . ' ;. .-
Hammer Is therefore out of court un
less ba has a guardian appointed or can
show tat he Is sane. Tha attorneys
for tha sanitarium pointed out to the
court that young Hammer's father
brought suit against tha sanitarium on
the same alleged atate of facts for tha
mistreatment of uls son, and that notn
ing has been dona to forward this salt
since the court ruled that the sanitarium
can maintain a ; counter clam against
Hammer 'for an unpaid bill for the
board and cars of the young man while
he was a patient -
After several - days'- work on what
the police believe to' be an underground
method of furnishing white glrla for
Japaneaa and Chinese reaorts In tha
north end, Charles Teall, a young man
who has been In police tolls, waa ar
retted yesterday - and la-' held pending
further investigation. Margaret Moore,
17 years old, who comes . from a re
epectahle family In Portland, Is also In
Jail as one of the girls who waa In
duced to live a life of shame.
Teall and the Moore girl were arrest
ed In the Washington hotel, as was the
proprietor, of the place. ' The proprietor
Is M. Mayjima, and he la charged wltb
conducting a house for Immoral pur
poses. Teall la charged with accepting
the girl'a earning. ,
The Investigation at present shows
that Teall arranged to, have, the 17-year-old
girl go to the place. He oc
cupied the adjoining ' room. The see-
end day- they were there- Teall received
132 from the rlrl. He bromlead to buv
her clothing. ' . That evening she. was
arrested, and a Chinaman waa arrested
in her room. - She- admitted that sev
eral Chinamen and Japaneae had visit
ed her, but denied any knowledge of

part of her clothing was found, in his

were other girls In the place, each one
having been taken there by a man. No

... Washington, JaaJ6.- A a the result
of a number of conferences at the
White House, it has become known that
President Taft is considering seriously
a special message to congress urging
the passage of legislation to prevent the
present system of dealing' in futures In
farm products. It is proposed to forbid
Interstate telephone and telegraph com
panies from - carrying the information
upon which "future" deals are made.
Attorney General Wlckershain is pre

Vancouver, Wash., Jan. 1J. -The float
ing ice in the Columbia river has about
passed at this point, and it Is thought
by tomorrow morning the ferryboat City
of Vancouver can resume its regular
run. The ice today is light and much
scattered. A small band hangs along
the Washington shore, but the Oregon
side is practically free. A few teams
ana wagons were transferred yesterday
by the steamer Jessie Harklns, doing
duty in place of the regular ferry.
BROAD GAUGE TRACK
FOR TWO CARLINES
It, aa announced aome time ago, the
Waverly-Woodstock and the Waverly
Richmond ' linea of , the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power company are routed
over the Madison bridge, when that
structure is completed, the lines will be
changed to broad gauge, it having been
found that this would be cheaper than
to lay a third rail across the bridge and
over, the approaches thereto,
In this event the routing of the cars
in east Portland will also be somewhat
different from the present, the Intention
being to run the cars from Hawthorne
avenue over a aingle track on Eleventh,
street and inbound cara to Hawthorne
avenue over a single track on East
Twelfth street, thus forming a loop sys
tem. ' The Sellwood, now being operated
on Eleventh street, would also be routed
over this loop. ; - , ,
With the completion of the new Madi
son and steel bridges, the routing of the
cars of ; the entire , system will be
changed to suit the various localities,
as was announced some time ago by
President' B. S. Josselyn.
