Who "Blew" Into Town and Won't Stay
Woman Known Among Down-and-Outs as Champion Woman
Soapbox Orator and Good Fellow Is Interesting Character.
By A. D. C.
Agnes Fair is in town, and she is
not going to stay. Agnes Is known
among the down-and-outs- all over the
country as the champion woman soap
box orator and all around good fellow.
When there are any big industrial
troubles Agnes shows up and? rarely
bothers to buy a ticket. She is pos

Didn't Worry About Gas Meter.
Agnes Fair was in a labor dis
turbance a few years ago in a city on
this coast cooking for the strickers and
the down-and-outers. bossing an Im
provised hospital, speaking on the
streets and writing for the papers,
local and gene'ral. The committee
rented a big basement for a combined
kitchen and dining room and Agnes
borrowed a menkey wrench and a pali
of plyers and hoolc'ed up an old gas
stove- to the gas pipe without any su.'h
capitalistic contrivance as a meter in
between.
After a few weeks the gas inspector
discovered where the big leak was.
Local Teacher Back
From Eastern Trip
Miss Mabelle Ross Made Journey In
Exchange System; Portland Well
Known in the East.
Miss JVIabelle E. Ross. Portland
school teacher, has returned from a
year spent in teaching in the public
bchools In Brockton, Mass., as the re
sult of an exchange system; w Hereby
three Brockton teachers spent a year
In Portland and three Portland teach
erp taught for a year In Brockton.
Miss Ross first attended the Na
tional Kducation association conven
tion 'In Oakland, and then went east via
the Santa Fe, stopping at the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado. She also
spent some time along the Oreat Lakes
and in the Green Mountains of New
York and visited the principal citie iof
the east and visited many scenes of
historical interest, including Washing
ton's home at Mt. Vernon and many
battlefields of the nation's wars.
"I return much refreshed after my
year in Brockton," said Miss Ross. "I
enjoyed my stay very much and espe
cially the opportunities offered, by
hearing the best music In Boston and
to visit historic places In the -ast. I

"Who Is responsible for this?" he in
quired. Agnes assured him that she
was the party, and he vowed arrest.
The directors interviewed her.
"You charge six times the worth of
your gas to the public," she said.
"Don't talk to be about stealing. Te'l
your story to any jury, and the Lord
have mercy on you! Don't you know
you can't convict a .woman for steal
ing from you?"
They. gave it up, and Agnes In due
time moved on.
One Experience Cured Police.
In one of her advantures the police
nerved themselves to the ordeal and
arrested her. She promptly forgot to
eat. She had to be carried to the
police court in four or five days on a
stretcher. The judge came to her side
and said:
"I will release you if you promise
to get out of town"
"Take me back to Jail." whispered
Agnes. "1 won t leave town."
The Judge turned her loose and urged
the polite to take her to a hospital
before she died on their hands.
On another occasion the down-and-outs
wanted food. The charities of che
organized rich got busy, but did noth
ing. Agnes went out in the country
and talked to the fitoners. In two
days the provisions begajnto roll in.
They came by wagon and' sfiamer ara
by freight. When conditions improved
so that Agnes did not have much to
do, she went on further.
Hade Good as an Editor.
In.Sedalia, Mo., a labor paper editor
got in Jail. Agnes hopped on a train
and took possession. Never was a
paper edited that was as lurid, irregu
lar, rebellious, iconoclastic, illogical and
brilliant. The editor offered her a
half interest when he got out of Jail;
but that was the signal for Agnes to
go on.
Sometimes she makes money, and
sometimes she "gloms' food from oi -
chard or field to satisfy her hunger.
But there are very, very few women
richer than Agnes Fair, for she lives
the life she wishes; does the work
she loves, helps- the down-and-outs;
preaches the most illogical lot of hope
less jumble of socialism and lndur
triallsm in a feminine way, and enjoys
herself as o society pampered daugh
ter of an earl or a ham sandwich
trust magnate ever could, or., ever
will.
t-'ome people hate her for a revo
lutionist; Home love her for a minister
ing angel In time of trouble; some think
she bears a great message of truth,
some are sure sh'e is a mischief maker
and a dangerous criminal.
Agnes Fair will go on, and perhaps
some day she will find her end, and
when she does many will have been
endowed by hr with the hope to
struggle for barter things.

way from bellboy to manager.
He was associated with H. C. Bow
ers at the Hotel Portland for eight

For the past four months lie-shas
been manager of the Hotel Ramapo.
"The date of opening the Mult

Eerself Ellen Miller.
That the young woman,wha attempt
ed suicide by inhaling gas in a roolm
at 69 Sixth street Thursday night,
is going under the assumed name of
Ellen Miller, is the belief expressed by
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent
of the women's protective division of
the police department yesterday. v
The girl is thought to have made
the suloide attempt through discour
agement at being alone In a strange
city, practically without funds.
In a note written before tiie at
tempt was made, she mentioned a
man who came from San Francisco
to Portland with her on the boat. His
desertion when the boat docked here
made her very unhappy, she wrote,
but Mrs. Baldwin's Investigation doea
not Indicate that the relations of the
pair developed beyond a mere friend

The young woman has entirely re
covered from the effects of the gas
poisoning, but she was still hysteri
cal at the Good Samaritan hospital
today and unable to give an account
of. her actions.

victed here, he will probably be turned
over to the police- of that city for an
Investigation.

FRAUD CASE AGAINST
ATTORNEY A. R. JOY IS
TO BE TRIED IN COURT
Client Asserts He Secured
Property She Should Have
Received.
The question of whether Allan R.
Joy, a Portland attorney, defrauded
a client out of property she should have
received on a Judgment he obtained
for her against the Michigan Auto &
Buggy Co.. will be tried in the circuit
court.
Mrs. Philomina Bolter, the former
client of Mr. Joy and plaintiff in a
suit filed last week against Joy, says
in her complaint that she placed confi
dence Jai Mr. Joy and he defrauded he-.
She explains how he did It, according
to her allegations.
Mr. Joy deniea the allegations and
declares that Mrs. Bolter was advised
of every action he took in connection
with her case.
Mrs. Bolter obtained a Judgment
against the Michigan company for
$1700, which with Interest, ran up to
$1857. She says that Mr. Joy repre
sented to her that the best he could
get on the Judgment was lot 11. hlock
2, Parkside, which he represented to be
worth $3000. Having confidence in
him, she says she consented to accept
the lot.
Later she learned, she alleges, that
the lot never had been the property
of the Michigan company, but that Joy
had obtained from the company three
second hand automobiles and seven
four per cent bonds In the Port
land Knisrhts of Columbus Building as
sociation and that he traded one of
the, automobiles for the lot and kept
the rst of the property himself. She
alleges that the lot, which is located
nn a. hillside, was incumbered with
439 taxes and street assessment liens
and Is not worth the amount or us
Incumbrances. (
She has demanded that Mr. Joy take
the lot and pay her the amount of
the judgment. She says he paid her
$100 and refuses to pay any more.
When aueried yesterday, Mr. .)oy
said he traded one of the automobiles
for the lot, but said that a long expla
nation was necessary to make clear the
circumstances of the deal. He said he
would offer this explanation in court.
"Everything or value went for the
lot. and Mrs. Bolter knew all about it."
said Mr. Joy, who gave out the fol
lowing statement:
"I feel that a great injustice was
done me in the publication of the alle
gations made to this suit without men
tion of the merits of the other side.
"lit the case referred to, th- judg
ment debtor waa insolvent 'had no as
sets except some unsalable Junk of lit
tle aliie. and it was only throigh my
timely efforts that anything was real
ized. "My cent took several days to ex
amine the property and acted solely
upon the Judgment and advice of rel
atives and not on mine in accepting it.
All other statements and Insinuations
are absolutely untrue, as will he shown
in due time. If property values have
dropped in the past three years It cer
tainly is not my fault.
."The amount retained by rne for my
services waa of Insignificant value and
unmarketable but If considered too
much I have' offered several times to
arbitrate the matter In any manner
that could be suggested, or to take over
the entire property at a fair valuation
and am still willing to do this, as was
well known before bringing this suit."

The funeral services of NorVls I.
