1ft THE IIORMXG OKEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1907. CHARGES T Agent of Anti-Saloon League Accused of Accepting $500 Note From Bourne. FOR ASSISTING CAMPAIGN After Sensational Accusations In Se cret Session, Friends of Hader Anions Trustees Refer Mat ter to Committee. CHARGES AGAINST REV. FAlTi 1IA1IKR. That Mr. Rader received a check of $500 from Jonathan Hourne, Jr., and that circular letters writ ten on Anti-Saloon LeaRue letter heads, indorsing the candidacy of Mr. Bourne before the primaries, were, seen in Mr. Rader's office. Similar letters were circulated un known to the board of trustees. That Mr. Rader received from Detectives Kay and Burke $0 due E. S. J. i McAllister, the attorney who defended the detectives in a lawsuit, which was part of the f 100 appropriated by the Council for lawyer's fees and not for the Anti Saloon League. That Mr. Rader has allowed the Anti-Saloon League to run almost hopelessly in debt and that its ob ligations amount to more than $."iO00, with practically nothing In the treasury. . That Mr. Rader prevented the re election of Dr. Clarence True "Wil son to the presidency of the league by untruthful statements made be fore the nominating committee at the annual meeting of the board held last October. After a session that lasted five hours, the charges were referred to the headquarters committee of the board, which has already gone .on record as defending Mr. Racier. A motion to appoint a special com mittee of investigation was tabled. Charges even more serious and sensa tional than expected were made against Itev. Paul Racier, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon, at a special meeting of the board of trustees of that body held yesterday afternoon in the committee rooms of the Young Men's Christian Association building. The most startling of the several accusations made by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, who was the leader of the opposition to the super intendent, was the indirect charge that Mr. Rader had compromised the Anti- Saloon League by sending out letters tending to help the candidacy for the Sen ate of Jonathan Bourne. Jr., before the primaries and that he received from Mr. Bourne a check for $500. Notwithstanding the seriousness of the allegations the trustees showed a marked disposition to whitewash the whole affair, which was referred to the headquarters committee. Almost as soon as the meeting convened, which was called for the express purpose of investigating the affairs of Mr. Rader as superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, Dr. Wilson began to outline the reasons for his opposition to Mr. Rader. Mr. Wilson declared that when he was president of the Anti-Saloon League and when Mr. Bourne was making his fight before the primaries that he Dr. Wilson called at the office of Mr. Rader. There he noticed, he said, a large pile of let ters, written on Anti-Saloon League let terheads, and which said that Mr. Bourne had always been a friend of temperance and deserved the support of temperance and religious workers. Dr. Wilson de clared that his name was signed to the letters which he had never seen or heard of before. Dr. Wilson said that at that time he questioned Mr. Rader concerning them and that the superintendent replied that he knew nothing about the letters, except that they had been sent there by un known parties and that they would not be sent out from the office. Dr. Wilson said that a few days later he went to Kastern Oregon where pastors of different churches showed him similar letters writ ten on the Anti-Saloon League letter heads and with his name signed. Charge of Dr. Wilson. Dr. Wilson then made the startling dec laration that Rev. Mr. Rader received a check of $500 from Mr. Bourne and that it was made out to "Paul Rader, O. A. I The "O. A. L." is an abbreviation o? the Oregon Anti-Saloon League. The statement relative to the check caused the greatest surprise among the trustees and Mr. Rader was immediately requested to make an explanation. The superintendent admitted having re ceived money from Mr. Bourne, but de clared that it had absolutely nothing to do with the Anti-Saloon League and was In payment for certain services rendered Senator Bourne in personal business transactions. He denied that any checks he ever received from Senator Bourna bore the abbreviation. "O. A. L." He admitted that Dr. Wilson had seen the letters in his office but that they had been sent there by parties with whom he had no connection or knowledge and that he did not circulate them. Several of the trustees took the floor and declared that they had the utmost confidence in Mr. Rader and were willing to accept his word without any further Hvitigatlon. They wanted to drop the whole matter, taking the stand that the charges brought by Dr. Wilson were with out foundation as he had not presented any positive proof. This aroused the in dignation of Dr. Wilson and one or two others, and lengthy and heated debate ensued. Mr. Bryant, an Albany attor ney, one of the trustees who defended Mr. Rader, was particularly emphatic. . AVould Forgive Katlcr. "Suppose Mr. Rader was hard up and did accept that $j00?" shouted Mr. Bryant, his voice quivering with Indignation. "We ought to be forgiving. What if he did make a mistake? Are we going to pull him down?" "No. no, no.," came the answers In a chorus to the questions of Mr. Bryant. There were about 25 of the 40 trustees present and it sounded as though a ma jority of them said "no." Rev. W. H. 'Heppe rallied to the sup port of Dr. Wilson and expressed the opinion that a thorough investigation ought to be made. "There are some dark, very dark shadows about the transaction with Mr. Bourne, which ought to be sifted to the bottom." said Rev. Mr. Heppe. He then proceeded to caution the ministers against, talking to the news gatherers. He made the boast that the reporters knew better than to dare to ask him for news. He advised all those present to place a padlock on their lips and to throw the key into the river. The other charges made were nearly as sensational as the one about the"$V) check. Dr. Wilson said that Mr. Rader had taken $S0 which belonged to E. S. i. McAllister, who is attorney for the AbAlNS RADER League. Mr. McAllister defended Detec tives Kay and Burke in a legal entangle ment which they got into while working for the city. The Council appropriated $100 to pay the lawyers' fees of the two detectives. Dr. Wilson said that Mr. Rader met Kay and Burke and persuaded them to give him the $100 and that he gave them oack $10 each. Mr. McAllister was pres ent and corroborated the statements of Dr. Wilson. He said that he had pre viously talked the matter over with Rev. Mr. Rader and had said that although his services in" this particular case had nothing to do with the League that he had agreed to credit the organization with the $100 when he shall receive it from Kay and Burke as the League owed him con siderable money. He intended to keep the money and said he was entitled to it. He further said that the detectives had turned over to him the $20 returned to them by Mr. Rader, which was for costs of the court proceedings. He said he had been employed by the Anti-Saloon League since September 1, sup posedly on a salary and that all he had received was $20, and that he did not believe that Rev. Mr. Rader had treated him fairly when he kept the $S0. Rev. Mr. Rader in defense said that he took the money as Mr. McAllister was out of the city when it was appropriated by the Council. Accused of Falsehood. Another charge made by Dr. Wilson was that Rev. Mr. Rader Toy a deliberate false hood had prevented him from being re elected to the presidency of the league at the annual meeting of the trustees held last Octoberft He said that he had seen Mr. Rader in the morning and that the superintendent had told him that there would be no changes in the personnel of the officers and that Mr. Rader appeared before the nominating commltee that af ternoon and declared that Dr. Wilson had authorized him to withdraw his name. One or two- of the trustees who were present said that they had heard Dr. Wilson say several months previous to the election that he would accept the presidency the ! P3 second time, but Mr. Rader himself en tered no denial. Dr. Wilson threshed over the Salem af fair and said that he had satisfied him self, although he had no convincing proof, that Mr. Rader faked the assault alleged to have been made upon him by two thugs. He called attention to the indebt edness of the league, which amounts to $3500. and declared that MJr. Rader was Incompetent. When Dr. Wilson first be gan to speak a motion was passed re questing him to say nothing thot would reflect upon the character of Mr. Rader. All through his address he had to refer to him in mild terms such as "incompe tent" and "inadequate." Mr. Rader in explaining the financial difficulties of the league said that he had done all that a man could do to keep It up. He said that although he was sup posed to receive a salary of $200 a month all he had received during his tenure of office for a period of more than 13 months extending up to the present time, was $70. He told instances where he dug down into his own pockets to pay the indebted ness of the league. Mr. Rader had some staunch supporters who stuck close to his side during the thick and thin of the verbal battle. Among these was Rev. E. Nelson Allen, chair man of the headquarters committee, who could see no wrong in Rader. Against Special Committee. The meeting lasted from 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon until 6:30 o'clock at night and spirited addresses followed close upon each other during the entire session. A half dozen or more different motions were put to he voted down. Among those lost was one to appoint a special committee of Investigation. Another was to express confidence in Mr. Rader, which was de ferred until the auditing committee makes its report now being prepared. The reso lution came near passing, however. f5 P5 The friends of Mr. Rader and those who wanted to avoid publicity were in the ma jority and they would not agree to a spe cial committee of Investigation. They . wanted the matter referred to the head quarters committee, which Is entirely friendly to Mr. Rader, and they were suc cessful. Dr. Wilson and others urged with all the vigor at their command that the committee be appointed, but their ap peals fell upon deaf ears. One of the ministers wanted to know who had spread the "poison" about the state by giving out reports of the diffi culty to the newspapers. He Intimated that Dr. Wilson was responsible, but the latter said that instead of giving it to the newspapers he had used his influence to keep it out. The auditing committee which Is making an investigation of the books of Mr. Rader has not completed its work and another meeting of the board will be held to receive its report. An expert account ant has been employed. What investiga tion has been made and will be made has been and will be under the direction of the headquarters committee, which is composed of Rev. E. Nelson Allen, chair man; J. J. Ross, Dr. R. Kelly, A. S. Pat tullo and S. C. Pier, Sr. As the meeting was about to close, the trustees and Rev. Mr. Rader put aside personalities. They shook hands and Rev. Mr. Rader and Dr. Wilson were seen to engage in what appeared to be a friendly chat, as both of them were smiling. Before they adjourned, all present pledged themselves to absolute secrecy In an effort to keep the proceedings from the newspapers. Several expressed that pub licity might injure the work of the league. When the meeting convened, it was de 0 P5 2 ? H O PS cided by a vote of 15 to 9 to exclude re porters. Dr. J. R. Wilson, president of the league, last night gave out an official statement of the proceedings. It is sig nificant that the statement does not men tion the name of Mr. Rader and says nothing whatever of the most sensational of the charges. The statement is as fol lows : Statement of Trustees. The board of trustees of the Anti-Saloon League met at 1 P. M. at the T. M. C A. rooms in pursuance of a call Issued at the request of seven members of the board that a meeting should be called "to look into the needs of the temperance work of the state and to examine the condition of the finances." . The headquarters committee, which by the constitution of the league is made its executive and finance committee, had some weeks since, on Its own motion, appointed an auditing committee of Its own number to look into the financial condition of the league, preparatory to formulating a plan for liquidating, the debts of the league and for providing funds for carrying on the work of the league for the future. This committee was already engaged in this work when the request for this meeting was made, giving as much time to It as thev could spare from their business, but had not ' yet completed the work. The com mittee made to the board a preliminary report, reporting progress, with a statement of the flnanclaJ condition of the league so far as ascertained. The committee also re ported that an expert accountant, not con nected with the league, had been engaged to go thoroughly into the books of the office and to report on the same. After filling the vacancies on the board of trustees and after a somewhat extended discussion of the condition, methods and management of the affairs of the league, the board adjourned to meet at the call of the headquarters committee to hear the reports of tha committee on the comple tion of the work of the auditing commitics and the expert accountant. The meeting of the board was an un usually large one. and manifested serious and determined purpose to look carefully into the affairs of the league and to put the league on such a basis as will command the full confidence of the community (Signed) J.
