THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, VMTDM?, SEPTEMBER , 1I0S, OLD FOLKS ABUSED Justice Seton Publicly Re bukes Two Sons. HOUD PARENTS' HOME BY LEASE V Mra. 31. F. Hanavan, Their Honse keeper, Is Found Guilty of As sault Upon Joseph Helney . and Fined 9 10. "From the evidence in this case I am constrained to say that ItTs a hurnlnff pijame that these two old people should -receive such treatment by their two sons. It should he the duty of their sons to care for and protect them Instead o ar raying themselves against their own lather and mother at a time in their lives when they need their love and attention, and not their abuse. But laying aside all sentiment I shall dismiss the charge of defacing a building, but find the defend ant (Mrs. I F. Hanavan) guilty of as sault on the old man. I Impose a fine of $10 oh. the defendant I am surprised, yes amazed, that there seems no protection lor this aged father and mother from their two sons -who hold the home of their parents under a lease." These were the words of Justice Seton, charged with indignation, yesterday after noon, as he gave his decision in the case wherein Mrs. F. It. Hanavan was charged -with committing assault and battery on Joseph Helney and defacing" his build ing. The conflict occurred at the farm of Joseph Helney, two miles southwest of Gresham. The two sons of Helney have the farm leased for five years, and they employed Mrs. Hanavan as housekeeper. The story told by Joseph Helney on the witness-stand was corroborated by his aged wife. - "I leased the farm," said Heiney, "to my two sons for five j-ears, with the un derstanding that they were to care for us. My wife was to cook for the boys, but they finally employed this woman, Mrs. Hanavan, to cook for them. By her we have been abused most shamefully. She -has applied the most vile epithets she could lay her tongue to me and my wife. The boys did not keep their agreement to pay the rent and take care of us under the terms of their lease. They invited a man and woman to come out here, and I ordered them to leave. Mrs. Hanavan told my wife she owned the house and the bam and everything here, and that we Had no rights whatever. I once went into the woodshed for my cane when Albert hustled mo out and struck me such a blow that X have not got over it yet. I was struck with a baseball bat two months ago in front of my house when I protest ed against the firing of firecrackers under the house. That is the way it has been all along. "We have been mistreated and abused. This woman has called my wife the most vile names. On the 27th of this month she struck me and spit in my face. She smashed the windows of the .bouse with a club." This was about the statement of the aged father of his treatment in his own home. Much of it had little to do. with the case, hut was admitted. Mrs. Helney gave her testimony, which in the main corroborated her husband's v story of abuse. Mrs. Hanavan, defendant, -who is a stal wart woman, -able to put both Heiney and his wife out of the house, gave her evi dence. She denied that she ever struck Helney or "broke any of the windows of the houscTShe said that Helney had been abusland had applied vile names to her. Ther,e was some corroborative evidence which -went to clear her tf the charge of having defaced the bklldlng.. A. Heiney, son of Joseph Hclnejtestlfled In behalf of Mrs. Hanavan. sons were in court, but they gave thjg4fed father and mother no attention wflrcr. The old couple sat alone in the courtrOTm, while the two sons were with the defend ant, Mrs. Hanavan. Edward T. Taggart represented, Mrs. Hanavan and Deputy District Attorney H. B. Adams the state. Justice Seton was thoroughly aroused and his denunciation of the two sons for not protecting their aged father and mother was most scath ing and severe. The 'situation on the Helney farm has become somewhat no torious. Helney obtained a judgment of ejectment against -his two sons in the Circuit Court, but they have taken an appeal to the Supreme Court, and the case Is still pending. There is another son who treats .the couple kindly. Deputy District Attorney Adams at the conclu sion of the trial advised Mr. Heiney to take his wife and go to the home of this son and remain away from the farm where they have had so much trouble un til the Supreme Court decides the case. If the decision Is in their favor they can repossess their home, but If not they will have to wait until the lease expires. He urged them by all means not to return to the farm, as it meant more trouble for them. POT UNDER BONDS. J. Miller, of Twelve-Mile House, Shot ' E. Strnk In the Foot. J. Miller, who keeps the Twelve-Mile Boadhouse on the Base Line road, was placed under arrest yesterday afternoon by Constable A. D. Keenan on a warrant Issued from Justice Seton's court, charg ing him with assaulting Edward Strak with a pistol. Miller came in from his roadhouse yesterday and Constable Keen an served the warrant on him as he was starting for his home. He was arraigned before Justice Seton and pleaded not guilty. His bail was fixed at J1000. which he furnished and was .allowed to go. Ag the result of a row at the roadhouse Wednesday night Miller shot Strak in the right ankle. He was brought to St. "Vincent's Hospital. Strak is engineer for a threshing machine and had stopped in front of the roadhouse. Mrs. Miller's horse shied at the machine, when Miller catiie out to quiet the" animal. Some words passed between the two men when Strak got off his seat as if he Intended to approach Miller, when Miller fired his pis tol, the bullet, taking effect in Strak's foot. t When. Miller was arraigned yesterday he wa? asked for an account of the affair, but declined to say anything. The pre liminary examination will be held next week. COMMITTEE IS SNUBBED. Slilvraukie Property-Owners Turned Down "by Clackamas Court According to the story of the members of the committee who were appointed by a mass meeting of citizens of Milwaukie about a month ago to protest against what "was considered an overvaluation by the Assessor of Clackamas County of property at Milwaukie and adjacent to the Multnomah County line, received mighty scanty consideration by Judge Ryan. This committee was composed of Richard Scott, Mayor William Shindler, John Flick, J. W. Graslee, J. R. Kelso and Judge Munley. "We -went up to Oregon City," said.Mr. Kelso, "and cooled our heels for some time on the door mat for over an hour. Judge Ryan found time to give an audi ence to Mr. Morris, the banker, but we received mighty scant courtesy from the County Judge." Another member of the-committee said yesterday: "After we had waited half an hour to present our case Judge Ryan came out -and seemed surprised to see us and remarked, 'Why, ain't you follows gone yet? We got the worst snub possible. We then came home." The alleged "snub" of this committee is the talk of the people of Milwaukie, and there is considerable indignation. Richard Scott said that his farm was as sessed way abdve land all around him. and it is claimed that the Assessor has as sessed property adjoining Multnomah County from 25 to 50 per cent higher than elsewhere. It was this fact that caused the mara meeting to 'be held and the committee to be appointed to protest to the County Court. Owners of the Golf Club property were also before the Clack amas County Court for the same reason. What further action the people will take remains to be seen, but a prominent property-owner said yesterday that he would make a formal protest against what he said was an unjust valuation and then would resist the collection In court The: committee says that the only reason Judge Ryan gave for the assessment of this part of the county being so high was the ability of the people to pay. ' Tronbled "With Gypsies. A motley crowd of gypsies have made their camp on Johnson Creek, in Mil waukie, much to the disgust of the people there. Marshal Jesse Keck has been asked to order them to move on, but he says he -has no authority to do so until they commit some unlawful .act So far they have been quiet and have not given any trouble. They send out fortune-tellers to Oregon City, Salem and Portland. It is expected that Marshal Keck will soon be GREAT QUESTIONS OF THE DAY Commencing September 6, The Sunday Oregonian will publish a series of articles by noted British public men and editorial writers, especially designed for American readers, on GREAT QUESTIONS -OF THE DAY.

PORTLAND- Sept 1. To the Rev. Ev P. Hill, D.D.) As a citizen deeply inter ested" in the clean admlnistraiion of civic affairs, may I venture to Indorse your position, and commend the terms in which you define it, in your most admirable open letter to our Mayor? But my dear Doctor, the experience of Portland with Its "good man" Mayor Is no new thing, but simply one of a long and continuous line, involving every official position from President to police man. Are you yet unable to see and under stand that it is a condition Incident to the success of the party machine of which he is perforce a part whether he will or not? Are you yet unable to see that his party machine, and yours, by the way, while it trusts to Its power of allurement to hold the good, Is geared to everything vicious that has votes, and when the bosses turn on the power, the main shaft revolves, and every cog. Mayor Williams and all, must mesh with nastiness and corruption or be broken? This is as plain to see, to him who really desires to see, and as difficult to him who does not as is the need and efficacy of the salvation you so faithfully and eloquently proclaim. Opposed to Judge Williams was a candi date, I. H. Amos, the peer of any man In Portland In Christian character, nomi nated by a party, which, for SO odd years, has fused with nothing, gone off after no fads to catch votes, held Its high charac ter, stood for personal Ideals In political conduct refused to let the saloon and concomitant evils be relegated to the domain of economics and party exped iency, and so has taught the best school of politics the world has ever seen geared to righteousness and nothing else and yet Mr. Amos and his party, while teaching that the people, without, "boss ism," can be trusted with their own gov ernment, yet lacking the allurement of the promise of present success, failed to receive your support and that of the vast majority of church votes. Is It not time thatv clergy and' laity cease watching In politics only for "the things which are seen," and to deal more, politically, with eternal values? Is It not time that clergy and laity cease to be content to stand a6 the sub stance as well as the type, of that class of our people who" can be fooled all the time?' With cordial expressions of personal re spect and earnest hope for united action for the speedy correction of the mon strous wrong of political perfidy, I am, very truly yours, F. M'KERCHER.

He - Says Clients Have Convicted f Themselves by Talking and He Leaves It te His Lawyers. Oscar Sanford Stone, who occupies a cell in the county jail charged with swindling well-known Portland residents by means of fraudulent timber land deals, says he Is confident that it will be all right when the other side of the story Is told. Mr. Stone wasvisited by an Oregonian reporter yesterday and informed that the columns of the paper were open to him for any statement he desired to make in the way of "explanation, but he replied that, while he appreciated the offer, he did not desire to avail himself of i& He remarked: "All my side of the case will come" out after a while and I feel certain of getting out of it all right" "Do you expect to get out on ball?" was asked. "I don't know if I want to or not; in fact I haven't formulated any plans. That Is for my attorney, Judge Carey, to do." ' The reporter suggested that of course" nothing would be done contrary to the wishes of counsel, and Stone replied, "I am an attorney myself, you know." Stone continued: "If I could publish everything I have in my mind, I don't know if I would care to. It's a little rough now, but It won't be so rough after a while." The prisoner, in reference to the news papers, said: "As to trying my case out in the newspapers before the case comes to trial In the courts, I do not propose to do so. I have had clients who convicted themselves by wanting to talk too much to the newspapers. I have, therefore, no detailed statement to make concerning my case, or what the nature of my de fense will be. That will come out at the time of the trial, and there will be an other story to tell. As Is always the case at this time, the public knows but one side of the story, "and that is the side against the man accused." Mr. Stone said he had been engaged In the practice of law for 12 years. After leaving here last October he went to Idaho Falls and opened a law office. This was before he was arrested for passing a worthless check, taken to . Butte and placed in jail. r "I was released from that charge," he said, "without a trial. In fact, without so much as a preliminary hearing. I went to Wallace, and afterward to Sand Point where I remained until the time of my arrest." Stone refused to say anything concern ing why he assumed the name of Clark, or about having defrauded J. M. Long. Alex. Sweek, Dr. C. W. Cornelius and others. He said all he knew was that the warrant under which he was arrested charges him with larceny. HUGGED AND KISSED BY OTHERS. Reasons Why Charles Taylor Seeks Divorce From Wife. Charles E. Taylor alleges that his wife, Ethel Taylor, persisted In making appoint ments with other men, and committing other acts not tolerated In well regulate! society. For these reasons, along with some additional ones, he has filed suit against her In the State Circuit Court for a divorce; n The couple, according to a statement made in the complaint, were married in Portland on March 3, 1901, and lived haD- pily together for a brief period. Taylor says he provided Wis wife with a good nome, ana supposed all was going well until he discovered that she showed a pref erence for certain male acquaintances whom she permitted to hug and kiss her. greatly to his humiliation and embarrass ment The plaintiff avers that, when he objected to such conduct, Mrs. Taylor be came angry and told him it was none of his business. He says she went so far as to stop when they were out walking togetner ana taiK to men on the street, to whom she would not introduce him, al lowing him to stand to one side and say softly to himself things he dare not utter for fear of creating a scene. Taylor as serts further that Mrs. Taylor remained away at nights, went bicycle riding with male friends and made appointments with them by telephone.. The complaint names F. K. Roe and John Doe as co-respondents. Mr. Roe under his proper address is said to be a well-known railroad clerk, and Mr. Doe's identity has not yet come to light Mrs. Taylor has been employed recently in a candy store. George W.
