BIDS FOR BROADWAY
BRIDGE BONDS REJECTED
Bids for J315.000 of Broadway bridge
bonds were rejected by the ctty council
today. An issue of $250,009 of park
and boulevard bonds was awarded to
Morris Bros, at 93.44.
At Councilman Clyde's request, a com
munication from the city engtneer rela
tive to the righta of the Postal Tele
graph company to lay underground
cables was referred to the Judiciary
committee, The engineer's letter says
the company probably laid the cables
mentioned under authority of franchise
Ordinance No. 16,062.
A special permit was granted by the
council to the Balfour-Guthrie company
to enlarge some wheat bins. An emer
gency clause on the permit ordinance
states that its immediate passage Is
"necessary to the health and happiness
of the city." This did not get the re
quired 12 votes, so the permit will not
become effective for at least 30 days.
Councilinen Magulre, Clyde and Daly
voted against the eprmlt, which received
10 affirmative votes.
SUSPECTJILTED
LOVER OF BEATING
mm use
Jealousy. Believed to Have
Been at Bottom of Affair
Which Ended in Injury to
Dolly Glass.
Undoubtedly the victim of a lovers'
entanglement which the officers believe
fcTia Tierself Provoked. Dolly Glass, " a
nurse, 22 years old, was given a severe
beating Inst night, presumably by on of
her Jilted admirers. She was then left to
wander the streets In a hysterical, semi
conscious condition.
Miss Gin hm, tlie officers are satisfied,
knows who her assailant Is, but she has
so far refused to reveal his identity.
A story of many admirers, fitted
against each other by the girl, is appar.
ently developing as a result of official
Investigation of the case, and it Is ex
pected that arrests will be made soon.
In the meantime Mlns G.asS Is at St.
Vincent's hospital, badly bruised about
the legs and body, her throat showing
the imprints of, fingers, but not seri
ously Injured.
Girl's Stories Differ.
So far as the officers have definite
information, Miss Glass came from Ta
coma last night and was attacked very
aoon after her arrival. About 1 o'clock
she checked two suitcases at the Union
station parcel room. Ohe of these suit
cases belonged to V, H. Swisher, mana
ger of th Northwest Employment
agency at Spokane, and evidently, from
correspondence the officers have in their
possession, an admirer of Miss Glass.
awluher has not., been loeaiea py me
officers.
At the hospital this morning Miss
Glass at first told the officers that she
did not remember coming from Tacoma
at all, and that her mind was a blank
so far as her movements' yesterday and
the attack upon her were concerned.
Later, however, she said she remem
bered coming from Tacoma, but that she
comd not remember the attack. When
Officer Hutchlns mentioned the name
of a man suspected of the assault, the
young woman crowded away as though
fearing a blow, and this circumstance Is
taken to indicate that the victim knows
who attacked her, but that she Is shield
ing him.
Suspect's Name Withheld.
The officers would not give the name
of the suspect.
Miss Glass was found rambling In ft
hysterical condition on Oregon street,
near Union avenue, about midnight last
nlRlit, She- -approached Louis Vogan.
21 Grand avenue, who was on his way
home, und asked him' to take her home.
When Mr. Vngan asked her where she
lived she replied that she did not know.
"Donf hit me again." she cried, "pleaae
don't hit nio." Mr. Vogun, realizing that
she was not In her right mind, took her
to Union avenue and hailed a street car.
As the car aproached, Mr. Vogan says,
the young woman stepped directly in
front of It, and then as it-stopped she
Bwooncd and fell to trm pavement.
Miss Glass was taken to the police
station, and from there was sent to St.
Vincent's hospital. She wore a nurses
atron when found, and this Is one of
several peculiar circumstances In con
nection with the case.
Miss Glass left Portland Sunday
night. She had been living at a private
rooming house at 334 Jackson street.
havlnz taken a room there two weeks
ago.
Sold Tickets at Theatre.
She was accompanied by a man who
said he was her cousin, when she rented
the room, and she told the landlady
there she had a nursing case at St. Vln-
cent's hospital, and that she had to
work from 10 o'clock In the morning
until 10 o'clock at night.
During her residence In Portland
however, she had not been nursing but
had been selling tickets at a moving
picture theatre at First and Alder
streets. Nurses at St. Vincent's say Miss
Glass had never -worked there.
From telegrams and letters In posses
sion of the officers It Is Indicated that
SwlRher, though he probably knew where
Miss Glass was, wus anxious to give
the impression that he was worrying
about her, and making an effort to find
her. An employe of a local drug store,
an admirer of Miss Glass, had made a
recent effort to learn of her where
abouts, and Swisher, it seems, had made
an effort to throw him off the track.
Miss Glass denied this morning that this
man had anything to do with the at
tack and the officers believe that she
is telling the truth in this.
Firm In Her Statement.
Miss Glass seemed anxious this
morning to give the officers the. lm
presslon that she had been attarked for
purpose of robbery. She said that shj
hud about $60 when she arrived In Port
land last night. She had only $6 In her
purse when found after the attack, but
the officers are inclined to believe that
is about all the money she had when
she arrived. s
The young woman is firm in her state
ments that she does riot know how she
came tq be on the east side of the river,
so it is thought possible that she was
attacked n the- west- Me,"' nar- the
Union station, taken over the steel
bridge In an auto and thrown out.
Another theory Is that sh was ac
companied to jFprtland by a man. and
that the two were met at the train hy
the man's rival. It Is believed that the
men may have started a fight and that
Miss Glass was Injured i trying to
separate them, or that her companion
was given a thrashing and ran away,
leaving the irate lover to vent his
anger on the girl. It would have been
possible for Miss Glass to wander across
the bridge In her dazed condition and to
get to the place where she was found
without knowing how she got there.
The officers are trying to get further
Information from Miss Glass, and are
following other leads which Indicate
that her assailant may soon be taken.
Girl Get Damages.
For the loss of parts of two fingers
damages of $1975 were awarded Phllls
Jenki two years old, by a Jury in Cir
cuit Judge McGinn's court this morn
ing from the Southern Pacific company.
According ti the complaint the little
girl was sitting by the tracft'at a point

impossible for her to ppt out Of the

COMMISSIONERS HOLD
BRIDGE RENTAL FAIR
That the rental of $1000 a month
charged the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company for the use of the Burn
elde .bridge is fair and reasonable is the
gist of a letter addressed, by the county
commissioners yesterday to F. I. Fuller,
the company's representative. Mr. Ful
ler recently asked that the bridge rental
be reduced to $750 a month, because car
traffic over the structure is less since
the new Harrlman bridge was opened.
The commissioners were notified yes
terday by County Clerk F. S. Fields that
four warrants, each for $12, drawn in
favor of W, E. LeValle had been can
celed. LeValle was -a charity ward of
the county several years ago, and the
warrants have been unclaimed for some
time.

TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
Courses Maintained - In 48
Grammar Schools 300
High School Girls.
Bewing la being taught in tha sixth,
seventh, eighth and ninth grades of At
ef the grammar school! of Portland. .
Three hundred high school girls of
tha city ar nrolllng In sewing classes.
The work is conducted along purely
practical lines, and no garments ar-i
made except those that con la worn by
the girls. Every phase of sewing from
correct holding of tha needle to tailored
garments, is taught When girls have
completed the high school course In
sewing they ar fitted to earn a liveli
hood -by Hewing. ,
These1 are a few of tha salient feat
ures in the department of sewing tn
the public schools of Portland tho
features that have made tha depart
ment the useful -and popular thing it
Is. This is the eighth year sewing has
been taught in tha public schools here
and from a vary modest beginning the
work naa developed to spienaia pro
portions.
Double Verlod llaa Tried.
The double period plan, which was
experimented with vry successfully
the latter part of last term, Is now
being put into many of the classes,
thus giving tho girls a two and a half
hour period, which enables them to
really accomplish something.
Heretofore . the Instruction In the
grades has been confined to hand sew
ing on account of the lack of machines.
This year, however, it is probable that
there will be sewing machines Installed
in the various buildings, thus rounding
out the courst' for tha grammar grades
as welt as for th high schootr
Mrs. A. A. Sanborn, who has been
n charge of tha sewing classes for
several years and has conducted them
with such marked auccess, is a firm
believer In the practical In all things
practical rules, practical methods.
practical materials and practical mod
els. "Tha natural and easy thing is
the scientific thing," said Mrs. San
born in discussing the work. "In the
grade work I teach, first the stitches.
then all the different seams, the use
of the thimble and needle, how to hold
the work properly and easily, patching
and darning, the taking of measure
ments, the use of patterns, the way to
make patterns larger or smaller, the
cutting, fitting and making of under
wear and household sewing.
Start With Gingham Creeses.
Tha high school course Includes the
care of tha sowing machine, the making
of aprons, the drafting and use of pat
terns for underwear, shirt waists," one
piece gowns, princess gowns, coats and
all tailored work.
"The girls start first with gingham
school dre-ssoa, then we make waists,
wool school dresses and then the tail
ored garments. I try to guide the taste
of tlit. girls as well as their hands,
and show them that good materials are
always rather to b chosen than showy
ones. Gowns of simple lines are air
ways best. Last year a few of the
graduates who had taken sewing made
their graduation gowna. This year a
large number will graduate from tha
sewing course an$, I hope they will
all make their gowns. I am not an
advocate of uniformity of dress for
school - or for commencement, as I
think the working out of one's individual
taste Is In itself a good teaching and
then the variety Is Infinitely mora
pleasing to the eye than a set style.
The girls furnish all of their own ma
terials for their sewing .Jessona and
then when completed the garments are
theirs. Some of the few garmenta that
hav been made these first four weeks
of school will be exhibited at the open
ing of the Lincoln high school Friday
evening and I hope any parents and
others Interested will be present to see
what we are doing in this line of work."
Before the AS club this afternoon
Senator George E. Chamberlain declared
that Oregon la leading not only the
states, but the entire nation In the mat
ter of gooj government This he at
tributed to the Oregon system. He
praised tho business men for their sup
port of the state and interest in its de
velopment G. F. Johnson said that at
least a part of tho credit was due to th4
fact that tho Portland Commercial club
Is the best organized in the United
States.
The Ad club arranged to tender D. O.
Lively a dinner in recognition of his
work in Oregon, before he leaves for
San Francisco to become livestock com
missioner of the 1915 exposition. It
was announced that Senator Chamber

The murderer was 22 years of age
and had become Infatuated with Mrs.
Grace Brooks at Cle Elum, where she
conducted a hotel. He made love to
her, but she repulsed him and finally
told of her plans to marry Jacobs.
She went to Tacoma ' several weeks

Indications are that the testimony
being offered by the defense in the trial
of Susie Owens for the murder of
Charles Celestlno, before Judge Kava-'
naugh, will lead to a plea of temporary
Insanity. The introduction of a note
book containing a diary of the days pre
ceding tl.emurder written by Mrs.
Owens in which she tells of the extreme
mental pressure under whloh she labored
opened tha road for the insanity de
fense. In the notebook she told of her love
for the young man and how sh some
times hated htm and yet couldn't bear to
losa him. She also declared that she
sometimes thought of ending all her
troubles and her life and refers to a
dreadful event which was bound to hap
pen. The direct case of tha state was com
pleted this morning and witnesses for
the woman are being examined. Owing
to the necessity of using an interpreter
with the greater number of witnesses,
the testimony drags and many of tho
witnesses contradict themselves fro-me?rtty-MreweKSw11Fq&
tha stand this afternoon.
Celestlno was shot about noon July
12, at the home of his parents on Sec
ond street, between Clay and Market
streets. Ha died several days later from
the wound. Mrs. Owens claimed after
the shooting that he bad refused to
marry her, though she had left her bus
band and gotten a divorce for his sake.

TRY NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
It Removes Dandruff Saves the Hair
Dandruff la what starts most of the
hair troubles. It stunts the growth of
the hair, deprives it of life and causes
It to fall out.
Loss of hair and final baldness, fre
quently considered Inevitable, can both
be prevented. Newbro'a Herplclde will
do it. ,
Herplclde is the first and original
remedy compounded to kill the germ
that causes dandruff. It not only
checks the accumulation of dandruff,
bue destroys entirely the tiny mloro
bic growth, which is the worst enemy
to good hair?
The intelligent use of Newbro's Her
plclde gives new life and luster to the
hafr and keeps the scalp clean - and
healthy. The first application Is
enough to convince you of its value.
