followed them TO Italy, is at the bot
. tom Of the tragedy.
MY son is about % years old, and
for some time had been suffering from
tuberculosis. He left Washington in
December, 1908. and went to New York,
where he obtained employment in the
foreign department OF the National
city bank
MARRIAGE At WILMINGTON
Early in 1910 he met Mrs. Mary
Scott Castle the divorced wife of
Neville Castle. an attorney of San
Francisco She was about 40 years old.
7 knew nothing of her antecedents and
did not even know that Porter intend
ed 10 marry her until he had done SO.
They were married in Wilmington, Del,
March Il last. and several days later
sailed from New York for Genoa. Only
last Monday 1 received a letter from
him telling me Of his plans. His letter
was fulI of endear ring references to his
wife"
. Charlton asked Secretary Knox today
10 have the state department, through
its representatives. in Italy. make an
investigation into the mystery. and also
TO Try to learn the whereabouts of his

ROSS GRANTED STAY OF
EXECUTION FOR so DAYS

A stay of execution for period of
so days was granted this morning by
the supreme court to ]. Thorburn
Ross, who was convicted of the en-
bezzlement of S2S8,426.S7 of the
state educational fund, and whose
conviction was recently sustained by

granted for the purpose of giving
Ross attorneys an opportunity to per-
feet their appeal to the supreme court
of the United States.
Ross was sentenced to serve a term
of five years in the state penitentiary
The attorneys for the defense will
base their appeal on the ground that
whe nRoss was prosecuted by infor-
nation, instead of an indictment pre-
ferred by a grand jury, article Of
the constitution of the United States
was violated. This article provides,
among other things, that mo per-
son shall be held to answer for
capital or other infamous crime, un-
less on presentment or indictment of
a grand jury"

MICHIGAN
DRUG CLERK
GOES TO JAIL
DaShing Young Widow Is Said
to Be Mixed Up in the
Deal.

Portland, March 1.-Grant G. Car
der, a druggist in the employ of the
Owl Drug Company, who only a few
days ago arrived here from Michigan,
was arrested early today and lodged
in the county jail on the charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. Carders' arrest followed a
sensational interview between himself
and his wife in a local hotel, the sub
ject of which concerned a dashing
young widow, said to have been pres
ent in the room when the wife came
upon the scene. Pending the opening
OF the new drug store, whore Carder
was to be employed, he is said TO have
taken fling at high finance. On the
strength of a letter written on the
stationery of a legal firm of Kalama-
ZOO, Mich, addressed to Carder, stat
ing that an aunt in Grand Rapids had
committed suicide and left him an es-
tate valued at $4,000. he is alleged
to have obtained from w. G.. Souther,
real estate dealer, 500. Subse-
quently Souther became skeptical and
wired the local firm. The reply ex-
pressed ignorance of Carders exist
ence, and his arrest followed.

In an opinion submitted to the
city council last evening with rela-
ton to a resolution introduced by
that body declaring a certain ditch
belonging to the City of Salem Com
pany nuisance and providing for
it's abatement, City Attorney Corby,
not alone declares that the company
has forfeited it's franchise, but also
questions the authority of the coun-
Gil in the first instance to grant the
franchise. The opinion is lengthy
and in part is as follows:
Violated Ordinances.
con December 10, 1882 the Com
mon Council of this City attempted
to grant a franchise to the City of
Salem Company, a corporation to
construct a water race limited to 20
feet in width at the top, along the
center portion of High Street, Divi-
sion and Front Streets, and Section
of the Ordinances granting such
franchise required the said Company
to maintain a substantial cover over
the race, and to erect and maintain
bridges and to restore the street, af-
ter making such excavation, to a
good condition for travel all Of
which is required to be done in a
good and workmanlike manner"
"It is apparent from casual in
spection of the said race that the
same was never constructed accord
ing to the provisions of the Ordi-
nance, and never has been main
tained or kept within the limits
thereof, and the banks have caved
and washed away till in some places
the race occupies nearly the entire
street, furthermore the banks made
by reason of the excavation appear
to have been left without any at
tempt to comply with that portion
of the Ordinance requiring the street
to be reduced to a good condition
for travel"
Furthermore the project as an
INDUSTRIAL
been entirely abandoned. Every
provision of the original grant has
been violated to such an extent that
if the said Company ever had any
right over the said streets they
have forfeited the same by violating
all the plain terms and conditions of
tba franchise
Beyond Jurisdiction.
GAS a matter of law, however, no
municipal corporation has any pow
er or authority to grant a franchise
along over, or across its public
streets which does not comport with
the use of such streets, by the pub
lie for road purposes. No principle
of law is better established than the
general principle, that in admitting
distractions to public streets,
municipal corporation must confne
itself to the reasonable use OF
such streets for general traffic, an
has no power or authority to estab-
lish or permit in any of its public
streets that which will have the re-
suit to prohibit trafic, and destroy
such street as a public thoroughfare.
din the present case under consid-
Grafton the franchise attempted 10
be granted amounts practically to an
appropriation OF the street 20 this
Company. and If such would be

Supreme Court Hands Down
Decision in the LiyeSeIy-
KrebS Hop Case.
FOURTH TIME IN COURTS
The Case First Started i'm 1906 iR
Judge Burnett's Court, Where the
Jury Rendered a Verdict in Favor
of the Krebs, and the Verdict Was
Sustained in the Supreme Court.

The supreme court today handed
down an opinion ins Livesly VS..
Krebs, awarding judgment to Krebs
for $4,000, in a long-contested hop
litigation that has been through the
courts four times in different forms
The suit was first begun by Carson
& Cannon in 1906 in Judge Bur-
nett's court where the jury gave
them verdict. From this appeal
was taken and the verdict was sus-
tanned in the supreme court. The
defendants, The Livesly Company,
were not satisfied and brought an
equity suit before Judge Galloway,
securing an injunction against col
lecting the judgment of $4,000. The
case was tried on injunction pro-
ceedings before Judge Galloway,
who dissolved the injunction, and
from this decision the Livesleys
again appealed to the Supreme
Court, which in it's present opinion
sustains Judge Galloway. This is
one of four suits over hop contracts
between the same parties, altogether
involving jury verdicts of $4,000
in favor Of Krebs Bros. There is
still one case pending before the
supreme court for $1,000.
Five Other Cases.
The supreme court also rendered
decision in Ave other cases.
In the case of Hattie r. Mansfield,
ct al, against j. L. Hill, ct al, an ap-
peal from the court of Judge Gallo
way, the judgement OF the lower
court was modified and a partition
of the property is ordered. This ac-.
ton was brought for the purpose OF
cancelling a deed made by Claud
Mansfield, her husband, during his
lifetime to J. L. Hill, for a third
interest in a quarter section of land;
also to set aside a will wherein
third interest TO the land was de-
vised by Mansfield to his mother.
Addie Thompson. Mrs. Mansfield.
prior to this time has been awarded
q third interest in the land when
she was divorced from Mansfield.
The ground upon which she sought
to set aside the instruments was
that Mansfield was Of an unsound
mind at the time Of their execution.
In the case of Tillamook City
against the county court of Tilla-
nook county, an appeal from the
court Of Judge Galloway, the Judge
ment of the lower court was re-
versed. This was an action brought
to compel the county court TO pay
over certain road taxes to the city
which had been collected within it's
corporate limits and the decision of
the lower court was for the plaintiff

Citizen, Who ReSentS Of

LIMITED PRESS LEASED WIFE. I

Eugene, Ore, Feb. -(Speclal)
j. N. Cole, a resident of the SUI
burb of Fairmont, this afternoon
slapped the face of Rev. D. H. Trim
BILE, pastor of the Humphrey Memoir
ial Methodist Episcopal church, was
promptly arrested, arraigned before
Police Judge Bryson, and fined $40.
Many wordy clashes have occurred
as the result of the evangelizing be-
ing done here by Rev. French 9.
Oliver in a series of meetings, but
this is the first active violence re-
ported.
The affair took place on william
cite street, the city's busiest thor
oughfare, and the alteration at
tracted considerable attention be-
fore the resounding smack crystal
lized matters. Rev. Oliver has been
making radical statements from his
pulpit, among them that he would
rather see a saloon opened in Eu-
gene, than a Unitarian Church"
that students and faculty of the
University of Oregon who are out
side the pale of orthodoxy are rot
ten as hell" that the local school
board is a bunch of jackasses" for
not allowing religious exercises in
the schools.
1t is said the discussion between
Rev. Trimble and Mr.. Cole arose be-
cause of one of the statements of
the travelling evangelist Rev.
Trimble was not much hurt by his
slapping, but he felt no little cha
grin. Mr.. Cole promptly paid the
fine assessed against him and went
his way.

for the fitness of things, to make
suggestive remarks about the char
