GETS GOOD POSITION
DOESN'T NEED PENSION
Woman Admits She Is Not in
Need and, Asks That Ap
plication Be Withdrawn.
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

married sons, has a 20-year-old daughter
at work who supplies soma merchandise
Which she purchases at wholesale, has a
boy 23 years old earning; $2.50 a day and
an 18-year-old boy earning $6 a week.
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.

month were recommended yesterday as
follows? Martha K. Mitchell. 7123

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

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

which Mrs. Humason In her complaint
declares to be null and void.

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

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

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

OLDTIME STAGE DRIVER
WOW R. R. 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."

me talk. But the men who want to
keep inn a lifelong prisoner will not
succeed. The truth will prevail. 1 shall

sane as l ever was. Ana i will prove

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

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. Flounced and draped skirts abound in fact, even the
"Btrictly tailored" suit is likely to have a pucker or two placed
midway down the front or back seam.
Chic little hats (for the small hat seems to hold its popularity
undiminished) are to be seen in the millinery salons plain for
the most part, with a high flourish of plumage at the side or
back. Modest little hats depending for their attractiveness on
their correctness of line and proportion. Lace and tulle hats,
that have the tou.ch of art that makes them possible.
All these are daily taking their places among the collection of
splendid and useful things that constitute the Fall Fashion dis
