Giving as the excuse that she ha se cured a good position, Mrs. Catherine s Allshaw has, requested that the $10 widow's pension granted her two monchs go be cancelled. She has drawn two months' pension. Another woman who had not yet secured a pension aaked that her petition be dropped, admitting she ' misrepresented her case. She said that she had been offered two positions, that she will receive money on account of the death of her husband, which oc curred recently, and that she did not jcare to remain at home. The pension would have been $10. "mi The case committee turned down two applications yesterday because it was found that the petitioners did not need .help.

She has six grown children and two under 16 years old. Another application turned down was made by a woman who owns a house and acre of ground and rents the ground for $40 a month for a woodyard. Neighbors told the investi gators that the woman was a chiroprac tor and had an office in Portland, but gave it up to apply for;a pension. Re ports turned In regarding the home have caused an Investigation to be started of the care of'1 the children. She has two children and would be entitled to $17.50 if eligible.

SISTER WEDDED TO SECURE FORTUNE IS CHARGE OF WOMAN (Continued From Page One.) tnias county, in which it was obtained, had no Jurisdiction berause Hannah M. Orr. the former wife, had not for more than one year prior to filing suit been a resident of Oregon. It Is further alleged that the divorce was not asked for by Hannah M. Orr in Rood faith, but in col lusion with Orr. and that it was under Stood and agreed between them that Orr would after the divorce intermarry with "Mary A. Burke and upon her death re marry Hunnah M. Orr. Continuing the complaint alleges that st the time of the marriage of Orr an'l MIsh Burke, Orr was in indigent cir cumstances and had been for a long time prior thereto. It is claimed that he had no business or employment or Income from any source and that for a long time prior to the marriage had lived at the residence of Miss Burke where he had received gratis from her hands full means of support, and that win,? uriiiK Mui'purieu y ner, rie nna his former wife. Hannah M. Orr, formed fhe plan of obtaining the property of Miss Burke. In furtherance of this plan it ts al leged that Hannah M. Orr came to Ore gon to bring a suit for the divorce which Mrs. Humason In her complaint declares to be null and void. ncoarag-d Drink Habit. Relative to the death of Mary Burke Orr the complaint makes the following allegation: "That prior to said marriage Between the said Mary A. Burke anj this defendant the said Mary A. Burke had contracted the habit of drinking in toxlcating liquors, and upon and after his pretended marriage with the salO Mary A. Burke the defendant, for the purpose and with Intent of hastening Jier death, willfully and purposely in duced and encouraged the said Mary A. .Burke In the excessive use of said in toxlcating liquors and other drugs and opiates, thereby prematurelyV causing trie aeath of the said Mary A. Burke on the date above mentioned." According to the complaint Orr and Hannah M. Orr were married at El faao, Texas, August 5. 1899. and Han 3iah M. Orr was an actual and continu ous resident of California until about two months prior to May, 1911. when her :ult for divorce was filed at Oregon city. j ue buii ror oivorce was based on the allegations of cruel treatment and infidelity. Orr did not contest the suit. In granting a decree of divorce Judge Campbell awarded Hanna'h M. Orr $30 per month alimony. Since the divorce Hannah M. Orr has remarried. She Is row the wife of Byron J. Mills, 330 East Twenty-ninth street, north. Orr. tne defendant in the pending suit, is reported to be at Long- Beach, Wash. Orr In Fubllo Eye, Orr came into public prominence in jjeceniner, when lie obtained two marriage licenses, in each of which he figured as the prospective bridegroom One license was taken out In Portland and the other at Oregon City. With tho Oregon City permit as his author ity County Judge Beatla of Clackamas county performed at Oregon City on the Mine date a ceremony which made Mary A. Burke the wife of Orr. . The. license obtained in Portland gave permission to marry Miss Bertha Tal zer, a beauty spclallst employed at i department store In this city. This li cense was returned to tho county clerk with the indorsement, "murrlage cere'' ttiony not performed." '. It later developed that Miss Palzer and Orr.wersf both living at the home Of Miss Burke, where also lived flunry Burke, a bachelor brother. ;. -, ' Brother Also Drank. " After ' his sister's marriage to Orr, Henry Burke was married to Miss Pal ter. A honeymoon trip to England was taken, but Burke died after they reached London In June, 1912. Henry Burke Is Also said to have been addicted to in toxicants and drugs. A curious circumstance In connec tion with the death of Henry Burke is discrepancy in' statements as to his place of burial. His wife sent to Fort land several photographs representing the funeral at St. Mary's cemetery. In the printed announcement of the funeral the burial place is given" as Kensal Oreen : cemetery.

BOOSTER Alexander Hamilton, Prinevule, Or. (Special Correspondence.) PrinevilU, Or., Aug. 21. One of tha ploneors of the coast is now located at Prineville, where he la well-known as a hustler, horseman and booster for c6ntr.il Oregon in general and Prineville In particular. Alexander "Hamilton car ried mail from Olympia, Wash., to Montcsano 47 years ago; from The Dalles to Antelope for several years ending in 1889, and recently to Shaniko from Prinevi'le. He is 63 years of age and rays that since coming to Crook county fivo years ago he has been growing younger. He has been a de termined hustler for a railroad Into Prineville from Metolius, and is given credit hy H. P. Sclieel, who is now about to commence actual construction, with being the originator of the Idea. This new lino will connect Prineville with the world and do much to develop the town and surrounding country. Mr. Hamilton has been instrumental in se curing rights of way for the greater distance of the new line's projected 30 miles of track. "I love horses and know them," said Mr. Hamilton, "and this is the coun try for horses. Mules? Well, thia coun try will beat Missouri for good mules. Therfe is a great future for mule raising on tl;ese alfalfa fields. Our farmers do not realize what this country is going to b.' "Were you ever held up while driv ing stage?'' he was asked. "No, 1 never was Interfered with, but once on the Antelope line a pass enger held the lilies for me while I un loaded some express matter and the tfca.ni ran away, overturning the stage, killing a big, fat Chinaman and two of the horses. 1 never was much for adventure. I never drove any closer to the edge of a cliff than I had to and never hunted trouble." PUBLIC OPINION IN CANADA COMES TO AID HARRY THAW Continued From Page One. Launches Drive Out Gondola. Venice, Aug. 21.1 A hundred gondoliers have formed a syndicate for tha pur chase of motor 'launches to replaoa the Bicturesque gondolas on tht canal. state in this matter, he said, but I cannot explain. My lawyers won't let me talk. But the men who want to keep inn a lifelong prisoner will not succeed. The truth will prevail. 1 shall get home to my mother soon. I am as sane as l ever was. Ana i will prove it" Immigration officials here said today that they in no case will act In Thaw's case, before Monday. More Thaw lawyers arrived here today and gathered in the office of Attorney Charles G. White to confer. Meantime Attorney Shurtleff, whom Thaw first retained, has gone to Ottawa to checkmate any unexpected moves there by the New Tork state authorities. Town Is Booming. Crowds of sightseers, all eager for a glimpse of Thaw, began to arrive here today from long distances. They gazed at the jail, watched the mysterious activities of the lawyers, and were duly and satisfylngly thrilled. The Thaw affair is booming the little frontier town, every hotel is full as never before, and overy merchant and other Inhabitant is delighted that Sherbrooke, by grace of being Harry Thaw's refuge, at last Is on the map. An immigration Inspector who refused to allow the use of his name said: "It seems to be the Impression among American officials here that Canadian Immigration officers can be used to catch escaped criminals. They are over looking the fact that we do not deport men merely because an American Judge and Jury found them guilty. We use our own sense in handling each case. I am not going to hurry now. Thaw Will B Given Chance. "When the court proceedings are fin ished we will give Thaw every chpnee to show that he is a desirable Immi grant." Thaw's pursuers are most dissatisfied over the postponement of the case. Pros-, ecutor Conger' of Dutchess county begged Judge Globensky to expedite the case, accusing the defense of needlessly dilatory tactics. J The discovery that a warrant has been issued charging Thaw with enter- I ing Canada at an illegal point of entry j and with violating the immigration law ' today perturbed the Plttsburger's law- ! yers, but they said they hoped to set it i aside. I Hector Verret, K C, has been re-' taincd to represent New York, state In j the proceedings here. 1 Glynn Demands Thaw's Surrender. Ottawa, Aug. 21. Telegraphing from Albany, N. Y., Acting Governor Glynn today formally demanded that Canadian immigration authorities surrender Harry K. Thaw to New York authorities. Im migration officials answered that such action would be impossible until pro ceedings pending here and at Sher brooke are finished. Assuming that Thaw escapes depor tation, which is believed likely here. the authorities today said that New York's only hope of extraditing him will be on the ground of bribery j of the attaches at Matteawan, an extra ditable offense. This would have to be proved first in the New York courts ; and subsequently in Canada. Both ao- 1 tlons would practically involve a reps- j titlon of the battle of alienists which ! was a feature of his previous trials. Thaw's Automobile Found. ' New York, Aug. 21. Chief of Police Young of Adams Corner, N. T., today found an automobile In a barn owned by John Rankin, which he believes Is: that in which Harry K. Thaw escaped, j according to advices received , . here. Two men left the car in the custody of, Rankin's daughter Haxel, promising to pay any amount for storage. I Hazel Hankln, identified tha picture of Thaw one of the men who had left I the, machine in her charge. The police j imqru me auiumonue oy us a e scrip- j tlon and number to John Collins, who! owns a Broadway garage. Collins says , he believes the car is one ha rented last 1 Friday to former" Assemblyman Richard I Butler.

Basement In the Realm of Fashion With the decision of the great French couturieres' to main tain a sort of Monroe Doctrine among themselves, wherein each house is to follow its own ,bent, and not to copy the "creationa" . of another house bids fair to make the styles even more won derful and original than any we have yet seen. t r It would seem, with thisarrangement in force, that we mutt all be well pleased, for there should certainly be no lack of variety. In the dress salons in this store, the new costumes' are arriving daily.
