CITYCOUNGILHELD
A SHORT SESSION
Regular Meeting of City Fathers
Adjourned Last Night to
Meet This Evening.
SEVERAL MATTERS CAME
UP AND WERE ACTED UPON
Interesting Quarterly Report of
Chief Austin Was Read; 619
Hobos Handled.
Six hundred and nineteen hoboi
were handled during the quarter end
ing March 31, according to the quar
terly report of Chief of Police Tony
Austin which was read before the city
council last night. The report was an
extremely interesting feature ot tne
proceedings and further showed that
37 drunk charges came up in the po
lice court during this time, 1 vagrant,
1 violation of the speed ordinance,
1 peddler without liccnse,2 disorderly
runaway boys. It also showed that
119 meals had been served by the city
to prisoners. , .
The session of the council last
night was a short one. All of the
members were present but in view of
the fact that Mayor Gilbert was
scheduled to speak at the formal op
ening of the Hotel Hammcl and that
several of the councilmen wished to
attend the banquet, the meeting ad
journed to meet tonight at 7 o clock,
at which time left over business will
be passed upon. ... ,
However, before adjourning several
matters were passed upon including
the regular recommendation for street
improvements of Street Superintend
snt Juskin. Accordingly the follow
ing improvements were authorized,
when the council adopted the report:
Cement sidewalks on the south side
t it ft v,Wk 23. on Fifth street,
Hacklcman's second addition. Cement
sidewalks on the south side of lots
5. 6 and 8 block 35 on Fifth street
Hacklcman's second laddition. Ce
ment sidewalk on the south side of
lot 5. on First street, Hackleman s
second addition.
The luaiter of proper sewer mains
was discussed, originating out of two
petitions relating to this improvement,
hut the matter was deferred until a
later date and the petitions were
placed on file. This question is em
bodied in an ordinance which is to
be introduced in the council at the
next meeting and it was the con
sensus of opinion that matters per
taining to sewer collections be left
as thev stand until action is taken
upon this ordinance.
Th nnnliration of lohn S. Spoon
er for position of driver of the new
automobile fire truck which will ar
rive about the fifteenth was read and
placed on file. Mr. Spooner submit
ted good recommendations, stating
that he had been in the employ of
the city for sometime, as fireman,
making his headquarters at the fire
house, and that he was qualified to
run an automobile. However, the
opinion was that this matter should
be closely investigated before any ap
plication should he accepted.
The primary purpose of the meeting
of the council called for tonight is
to take up the new building ordinance.
At a previous meeting the subject of
this ordinance was thoroughly dis
cussed with the result that Council
man Blount was authorized to frame
an ordinance to comply with the fire
limits and which should specifically
embody every detail with regard to
the construction of buildings within
this limit. This has been done and
it was the intention to introduce the
ordinance during the session last
night but this was found impossible
because of the lack of time.
The following bills were allowed:
Beall & Co $ 986.00

1000 MILES DF ELECTRIC
LINE SAYS STRAHDRN
President of P. E. & E. Claims
That $150,000,000 Will Be
Spent on Electric Roads.
That the Willamette valley
will soon be a network of electric
lines; that no section on the Pa-
cific coast will be its superior,
and only the territory immedl
ately tributary to Los Angeles
its equal, was the statement made
last night by President J. T.
w strahorn ot the Portland, tu- w
gene & Eastern Railway at the
banquet given at the new Ham-
rael hotel.
According to the speaker there
- will be operated in the Willam-
ettc valley between the Colum-
bia river and Eugene over 1000
miles of electric lines and the
sum b'f $150,000,000 will be ex-
pended in their construction.
"Albany for its population, is
the formost city of the west."
said the speaker, and the busi-
w ness houses and residence sec-
tion would do credit to a city o'f
twenty thousand people."
Mr. Strahorn asserted that the
railroad men are not only talk-
ing, they are spending money
and have almost unlimited con-
fidence in the future of Albany
and this section of the state.
S
HO! FOR BUSINESS MEN'S;
BASEBALL AGGREGATION
Salem Business Men Challenge
Albany Business Men for
Game of Ball.
The IHihee club, a social organiza
tion composed of leading business
men of Salem, is organizing a ball
team and in a letter to Manager Stew
art of the local Commercial club. Sec
retary Ralph D. Moses, states that
they are extremely desirous of get
ting games with some similar organi
zations in the state.
It is inferred from the letter that
the Albany Commercial club might
have a baseball team and might
like to play against the Illihee club.
In the letter Mr. Moses says: "Our
team wil' not be composed of kids
or roundt.-, but of prominent busi
ness men, members of the club. It
is the intention that the club make
excursions with the. team if outside
games can be secured and a couple
of games in Albany and Salem might
be a good thing for both cities, that
is if you rorganization will be inter
ested in baseball."
"You boys of the Conlmercial club
get in. now and get busy and show
your spirit. Don't let the Salem fel
lows back you out. If. Salem busi
ness men can play ball, Albany's busi
ness men can also."

IS. GARLETON
SEEKS DIVORCE
Woman Married Three Times
Again Wants Separation
from Husband.
GEORGE W. CARLET0N IS
DEFENDANT IN COMPLAINT
Charged with Cruel and In
human Treatment; Case Is
Before Judge Galloway.
If Emma Carlcton is successful in
securing a decree of divorce from
George W. Carlcton in Circuit Judge
Galloway's court this afternoon this
will make "the second divorce granted
the plaintiff in that court.
The suit for divorce was filed some
time ago, in which the defendant is
charged with non-support and cruel
treatment. The couple were married
in this city September 21, 1912, and
have resided here since. Mrs. Carle
ton alleges that her husband has from
time to time treated her with dis
respect and on one occasion deserted
her. .
Mrs. Carlcton has been married
three times. She was first married
to a man by the name of Crouse in
Illinois. It could not be learned
whether she divorced him or if he
left her a widow when she married
William Banks at Cairo, 111., August
28, 1908. Later the couple removed
to this city where they resided until
December last and on December 11,
J9I1. Judge Galloway granted the
woman a divorce from Banks, on the
grounds of desertion and cruel treat
ment. Nearly a year later the plain
tiff married Carlcton.
Mrs. Carlcton has no children hy
her last two husbands but by her
first it is understood that there are
several, who arc nearly grown who
now reside with their mother., . t . w.
In the case against Carlcton, it ap
pears that some money which the
woman has gained by inheritance,
figures largely in the complaint. It
is claimed that Carlcton has squand
ered a considerable proportion of this.
Besides the cruel treatment, the plain
tiff charges that the defendant is the
cause of her ill health, which originat
ed from a contagious disease the de
fendant has been afflicted with.
L. M. Curl is attorney for the
plaintiff and the case was being ar
gued at press time. It is probable
that the decision of the court will be
known beforet 4 o'clock.
Judge Galloway prior to taking up
this case, opened court this morning
at 10 o'clock with the case of V.
Cladek vs. George V. Poole et al,
to foreclose a mortgage. This case
consumed the entire morning session
and was temporarily dropped at noon
in order that the Carlcton divorce case
may be disposed of, after which the
case will be resumed.

CHANGES CHURCHES
Women Who Expose Unguarded
Points Can Be Fined; Com
' plainant Gets Half.
South Nor walk, Conn., April 10.
The Rev. John 1. Zeiter ended a
stormy year as pastor of the First
Methodist church of this place last
evening, when the New York Hast
Conference at New Haven sent him
to St. Paul's, Hartford.
Pulpit reference to poker joints in
the business blocks of his deacons
and the repudiation of a turkey sent
to the parsonage the pastor return
ing it to the giver with the suggestion
that the latter divide it with his "half
paid employees" have not tended to
promote love between Mr. Zelter and
his flock. The feeling was carried into
the conference, where the local dele
gates wished to see Mr. Zelter disci
plined. But he came out on top, for
although he has been shifted he has
gained what is considered to be a
much better pastorate.
The Rev. Mr. Zelter 'got in bad"
when he made allusions from the pul
pit to the 'codfish aristocracy" of the
city and the church. Also some of
the quarterly conferences in the last
year saw spirited bruches, in which
even the presiding cider, Dr. Charles
E. Goodenough, was involved.
He counselled Mr. Zelter to be more
diplomatic.
The pastor reported that he held
the pulpit to be 'the birthplace of
truth and fearlessness."
The turkey incident took place at
Christmas. The pastor sent back the
fowl, with a note tacked on the wish
bone telling what he thought should
be done with it.
The Rev. Mr. Zelter came to South
Norwalk from a larpfc Brooklyn
church. He did not wish to come,
as his predecessor, the Rev. Francis
Bourne Upham, had stayed only a
year. Mr. Zelter had the build ami
the action of a foot ball, player, yet
at the same time is very kindly in
nature.
One of his pet hihnthropies was
to bring up twenty cr thirty waifs
from New York n th-; summer and
place them in a camp on the lawn of
the parsonage, where he would pro
vide for them for a week or two.
Some church members thought there
were other charities nearer home
that needed his attention.
Mr, Will Gwvnne. of Toledo, to
day returned' from a Portland trip.
While gone Mrs. Gwynnc visited in
Albany with her sister. Mrs. Robert
1 orbet.
