Mary G. Schaefer Files Important Suit
Against Henry RUPERT.

Mary G. Schaefer this afternoon filed suit
against Henry ]. Rupert and others, the
court being asked to remove Rupert as
trustee and to enforce a declaration of
trust alleged to have been given by him
in reference to a large tract of land on
Brightwood avenue. 1t is represented to
the court that the property was conveyed
to Mr.. Rupert in trust to be held for the
benefit Of the complainant and four other
parties. named as defendants, but that the
conveyance to the defendant was absolute
on it's face.
The defendant, November %, 1900, it is
stated, executed written declaration that
he held the property in trust for the parties
interested, and the latter. 1t is said, having
confidence in Mr.. Rupert, did not cause
the same to be recorded.
The complainant says she has learned
that Mr.. Rupert, with others interested
in the National Permanent Building Asso-
citation, has signed and negotiated indi-
vidually, and upon his personal RESPONSE
bility, promissory notes. two aggresating
$4,000 to the Central National Bank: two
aggregating $4,000, to the Lincoln National
Bank, and notes amounting to $4,000 to
the Home Savings Bank, upon which, It is
asserted, he is personally responsible.
The banks, it is set forth, have credited
Mr.. Rupert partly upon the fact that the
real estate stands in his name upon the
records. they not being aware, it is al
.eged, that he holds the same in trust.
The complainant informs the court that
she fears that Mr.. Rupert will negotiate
other notes with parties upon the strength
of his holding the real estate, and that such
parties will be enabled to enforce coiec-
ton Of their claims from out Of the real es-
tate The complainant asks that new trus-
tees be appointed or that Mr.. Rupert be
required to convey to her an undivided one
fifth of the property. Attorney Leon Tob-
riner represents the complainant.

German Trade With Venezuela

Data compiled from the latest statistical
yearbook for the German empire by Consul
General Guenther at Frankfort and trans
mitted by him tas the State Department,
disclose a surprising paucity in the trade
between Germany and Venezuela during the
last five years, though exports from Ger
many to Venezuela, from 1901 show a con-
siderable Increase over the previous forty
years. Germany in 1897 imported from
Venezuela goods to the value Of 81, 594, 200;
while in 1901 imports had decreased to ST.
237, 200. German exports to Venezuela in
1897 aggregate in value 81 309, 900; in 1859
but $4,000 and in 1901 increased to 81 $685.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, January IA, 1903.
The sash factory of T. V. Risheill & Son,
at the corner of Wilkes and Royal streets.
was almost totally destroyed by fire yes
terday evening shortly after o'clock, and
the plant of the Alexandra iron works was
badly damaged. The damage to the sash
factory probably amounts to 5000. 1t has
been somewhat difficult to estimate the loss
to the iron works, but it VIII sum up sew
eral thousand dollars. Insurance policies
were carried, although the total amounts
are said to be far below the damage. OF the
two horses which were in the stable at the
time, one was rescued and the other per-
ished. 1t is thought that the fire started
in this building, which adjoined the factory
on the east. Both plants were in the same
building. The factory occupied the second
and third story, and the iron works were
on the ground floor.
Soon after the alarm was turned in the
engines were the scene, pouring four
heavy streams upon the flames, which by
that time were raging in the second story
Owing to the inflammable chara cter of the
woodwork. which was old and well sea-
soned. and to the additional fact that the
room contained a lot of lumber, sawdust
and other combustible material, it was i'm
possible to check the spread of the fire

For two hours more the firemen worked
before the flames were under control. Then
the building was completely Quilted. 1t was
worth about $1,000. and was owned by the
Alexandria iron works. 1t is said that
there was an insurance of $4,000 on the
building. The books of the company, which

Portland capital has again come to
the front for the development of the
mineral resources of eastern Oregon
and Idaho on a scale commensurate
with the vastness of the deposits. The
Ladd Metals company, of which
Charles e. Ladd of the banking firm
Of Ladd & Tilton is the president, has
acquired large group of copper claims
at Mineral, in the Washington district
of Idaho, Just across the Oregon line,
and has improved the smelling plant
attached to them. From this begin
ming it will develop an extensive sys-
tenn of smelling plants for the treat
ment of the ore. not only of that sec
ton, but of ore imported from Alaska
and foreign countries, and a refinery,
to be erected at Portland, for the sep
aration of the metals extracted in the
smelters. This enterprise will thus
add largely to the industries and Ship
ping business of the city, and at the
same time will enlarge the markets
in eastern Oregon and Idaho for Port
land markets. 1t will mark an era in
the industrial development of Oregon.
