Money Stolen From
2 Branch Libraries
Taking all the money in the cash
drawers, but so far as is known not
stealing any of the books, burglars
entered tbe St. Johns and North Port
land branch libraries Tuesday night.
Eight dollars were obtained" from the
St. Johns branch. The cash in the
North Portland branch, however, had
been taken out and hidden in another
place, and the thieves failed to find
It, but ctattered the books all over the
floor. Entrance was made in both
cases by smashing a window.
Monday night the lock on the base
ment door of the Brooklyn branch
was forcrd and $7 were taken. Library
officials and city detectives working
on the case believe that the robberies
are tho vcrk of boys.
Sophia Harper, administratrix for
the estate of Hannah Smith, deceased,
has filed suit in the circuit court
against Eric E. Erickson. undertaker,
for the recovery of $1200 alleged to be
due the estate.
The complaint states that Mrs.
Smith disappeared on the evening of
May 8, 1910, and that at that time she
left $1200 in Erlckson's possession to
be held for her. It further alleges
that he has persistently refused to
turn the money over to the estate and
orders him to come into court and
produce certain papers showing his
financial dealings with the woman.
Mystery Kevtr Solved
Mrs. Smith's disappearance more
than seven years ago created a sensa
tion at the time. She was last seen
on the ..evening of May 8, entering the
undertaking parlors of Erickson, ac
cording to the investigation recorded
at that time. Two weeks later a tele
gram supposed to have been from Mrs.
Smith was received by her niece,
Sophia Harper, sent from Los Angeles.
It was explained later by Erickson
that he had sent the telegram to allay
the fears of the relatives of the miss
ing woman.
Nothing further has been heard of
Mrs. Smith, although the police de
partment expended every possible ef
fort to find some clue that would ex
plain her disappearance.
Woman Mow Legally Bead
The present action could not be
brought until seven years had elapsed
and Mrs. Smith declared legally dead.
Attorneys for Erickson assert that
the same case, brought up in various
forms hitherto and dismissed, is only
another effort to discredit Erickson.
Jury Awards $1500
A Jury in Circuit Judge Belt's court
awarded Otto C. Miller $1600 against
the Payette Valley Sound & Orchard
company. Miller sued for $2100 al
leged commissions due to him from
the defendant for negotiating the
sale of certain lands to Dr. C. J
Smith.
Estate Left to Daughters

seriousness of the national situation
and the urgency of .bringing every
American man. woman and child to a

. W. Arthur Sajrs lie Remarried
Because He Was "Legally Dead."
James W. Arthur stayed away from !
his wife for seven years and then be
cause a lawyer told him he was legally
dead felt privileged to attempt an
other marriage. He convinced Amy
Patterson of his right to do so and In
February, 1916, they went through the.
ceremony of a marriage.
Shortly afterwards Mrs. James
Arthur heard of the purported re
marriage of her husband and made
known her intention of taking some
action in the matter.
Miss Patterson ' anticipated this,
however, by bringing a suit for annul
ment, which was granted Tuesday
afternoon by Presiding Judge Kava-naugh.
Arthur D. Thompson would not per
mit his wife to work, but neither
would he work himself, according to
Ella G. Thompson's testimony before
Presiding Judge Kavana-ugh. Accord
ing to the wife she lent her husband
her savings and even found positions
for him, but his laziness prevented
him from holding them and as result
she was awarded a decree of divorce j
by the court. I

woman 16 years older than himself, '

Making Your Crand Piano
a Self-Player When Desired
The Apollo Company has finally solved the problem of
making grand pianos self-playing.
It did so by abandoning the long effort to build the
playing mechanism inside the case, and by perfecting, in
place thereof, a small cabinet, which rests on the floor out
of the way, and is connected with the piano only by a cable.
Thus, at a single stroke, all the mechanical and musical
difficulties that made interior construction unsatisfactory
were swept aside, the piano left free and unaffected for
hand-playing, and success achieved.
