fllE MORXIXCr OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1907. 10 OFFERED II BRIBE SAYS LABOR EDITOR Paulinas McDonald Says That George McCord Held Out Lure of $5000. LATTER CALLS IT A LIE Editor of Labor Press Makes Charge That Money Was Offered to De feat Corfey and Used to In fluence Frelghthandlers. At last the jalltical pot has boiled over. It has been simmering at a lively rate for some days past, but It did not boil over until yesterday, when The Ev nlng Telegram printed a story that S.OOO had been offered to Paulinas Mo Ponald, editor of the Portland Labor Press, and secretary of the Federated Trades Council, to use the influence of the labor organ against John B. Coffey nd to mould opinion in favor of Thomas C. Devlin, both Republican candidates for Mayor. Edttor McDonald in his in- tervlew did not give the name of the man who, ha alleges, offered him $5,000, but when seen last night he said that It was George K. McCord, business man- user and part owner ef the People Press, a rival labor organ. Manager McCord, when told last night that he was tha man referred to by McDonald as the one who said be could get $5,000 from the gas company to make tha fight on Coffey, branded the story as a dastardly lie. McDonald last night told over again the story of the offer of 5,000. The only correction he made was that the offer was not made by any official, or any one connected with the gas company. He cays that McCord came to him first with a proposition that they purchase the La bor Press, take it out of the hands of the laboring people, and use it to fight Oof fey. Here Is the story told last night In the offices of the Labor Press. In the presence of several union men: "I don't know whether I ought to give the name of the man that offered me $5,000. or not," said McDonald. "The of fer did not. come trom an official of the gas company, and I don't know whether the man who made the offer for tha gas company was authorised to act as its agent or not. The man who told me there was J5.00O In It for the Labor Press If I would fight Coffey, was George K. McCord, now of the Peoples Press. He came to me Just before the campaign started, and when Coffey was first talked of as a candidate, and wanted to make a deal with me and buy the paper. He said there would be money In it for both of us. He said he could get money to swing the deal and that the gas com pany would back him. I told him that the Labor Press was not for sale, that it was the laboring man's paper, and that I never would consent to such methods. Mind you, I do not say that the offer of ITi.ooo came from any of the gna company officials. "What I said about certain members Df the Frelghthandlers' Union being turn coats Is true. Jn March, at a meeting; of the union at which 92 members were present, John Coffey's name came up and It was stated at this meeting that he would perhaps be a candidate for mayor. A number of the members present spoke in favor of Coffey's candidacy, and among the most enthusiastic were J. L. Blater, president of the union, and Ed Hatch. They got up and declared that Devlin was not a nt candidate, that he was lined up with the 'Interests,' and was not a man for whom the laboring people should vote. When the matter of Coffey's candidacy was put to a vote, all of the 93 men voted for him. Now mark the change of . heart. At a meet ing held April 9, politics was discussed, and to the surprise of a great many Slater and Hatch got up and made speeches in favor of Devlin. They took back all they had said against him and said that they were not for Coffey be cause they feared tha Influence of W. E. Iturke. Now what made them change? Jt was money. I know that certain freighthandlers have received money. I'll not mention the names now. but If It is necessary I can and will do so." McCord Answers McDonald. When McCord was told of McDon ald's charges last night he said: "That's a most cowardly and ven omous lie, and I want to' brand the man who said It as an Infamous liar. McDonald and a small clique of crooked labor leaders of this .city know that the People's Press has undertaken to show them up to the people In their true light,- and If he thinks he can prevent what's coming to hira and the political boss for whom he is now working, by attempting to blacken my character, he will be compelled to resort to other methods. In all the years I have been engaged In the newspaper business I have never yet had occasion to defend myself against anything so absurd and untruthful as the accusation this man has made against me. Usually when a roorback Is sprung on the eve of an election there is some ground, some vestige of truth, on which to give It plausibility; but in this case that element is en tirely lacking. It can be seen how absurd and contemptible the lie is when I do not even know who the Fs company people are. I have met Mr. Adams. I think, once or twice while I was connected with the Labor Press, but that ts the extent of my acquaint ance with him. I shall not allow any man to trifle with my character In uch a manner, and as you have acted fairly In asking my side. I assure you that McDonald will regret the day he picked me out as a victim to assist In the crooked game he is now play ing." Mr. Devlin's Statement. Another man that resented McDonald's charge that his money was being used to influence the votes of certain mem bers of the Ftelchthandlers' Union was Thomas C. Devlin, Republican candidate for Mayor. "The charge that I have given money to Influence the vote of anyone Is with out foundation." said Mr. Devlin. "I have never given a cent tor such purposes, and the money that has been spent by me in the primary campaign has been legitimately and honestly spent I do not know Mr. Slater or Mr. Hatch, and so far as I know I have not a personal cnnnlntanre In (h TT-atnV.v. 11 .....

In the first plaee I am not so financially Itimteri that T - - - wu.il Biiurr monev broadcast, even If I were Inclined to do so, which I certainly am not, for I am opposed to that kind of 'politics.- Officials of the eras company make a most emphatic denial of the story.

District Attorney Manning, -who was requested by Councilman Gray, to make a grand Jury investigation into the charges made against certain members of the City Council for graft, replied to Councilman Gray yesterday. Mr. Man ning calls Mr. Gray's attention to the fact that there Is no grand Jury In ses sion, but adds that if Councilman Gray is in possession of fact concerning any combination in the City Council that is grafting, that he, as District Attorney, will sit as a grand Jury and hear his evi dence. Mr. Manning also says that he would be willing to subpoena Thomas Guinean, who at a public meeting made tho statement that the councilmen were grafters. HIS VOICE FOB IDE RICH SPEECH OF SEATTLE MAN CRE ATES SENSATION. . Walter Davis Pleads for the "Down Trodden Capitalists" They Made Nation Prosperous. SEATTLE, Wash., April 29. (Special.) Webster Davis created a sensation at the State University today when he pleaded for Justice to the "downtrodden capital ists," whom Davis declared are now being mistreated by a wave of sentiment that has spread over the country. Davis was the Assistant Secretary -of the Interior un der McKinley, who visited Pretoria dur ing the Boer war and returned with a sen sational pro-Boer version of the conflict that embarrassed the administration. He was at one time Mayor of Kansas City, Mo., and up to the time of the Boer war episode a prominent Republican campaign speaker. He Is now practicing law in Seattle. In his speech before the university stu dents today, Davis claimed that the capi talists class is responsible in a great measure for the country's prosperity 'and that the agitation against wealth Is doing an injustice to capital. He urged the students to give the capitalists a measure of credit for what they have done, or at tempted, and to aid in stemming the tido of popular disapproval. A square deal for the moneyed class, Davis declared. Is as essential as fair treatment to the labor ing class and merely sounded a note of warning on behalf of capital. CAN SELL WITHOUT LICENSE Seattle Druggists Find Old Law Which Gives Them Privilege. SEATTLE, Wash., April 29. (Special.) After fighting before the Council for sev eral weeks for an ordinance that would permit them to sell liquor on their own prescriptions, Seattle druggists have dis covered an old law that they think repeals the territorial statute, demanding a physi cian's prescription to legalize liquor Bales by pharmacists. A test case will be or dered at once. ' The police have been making1 a six months' fight against liquor sales in suburban drug stores and have practically stopped the business. A bitter factional fight between suburban and downtown druggists has resulted, the for mer claiming the latter are not molested. Belllngham Shipping Notes. BELLINOHAM, April 29.

The hearing of the complaint of the Keystone Lumber Company against the Sunset Logging Company was continued yesterday before the State Railroad Com mission In the Commercial buildlqg and the evidence was completed. The case is one where the Keystone Company seeks to have the defendant directed to accept lumber and other freight for tran sit to a connection with the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad at Clatskanie. The defendant company operates tha Clatskanie & Nehalem Railroad and the Keystone Company has a sawmill In the foothills and Is anxious to get the pro ducts of the mill to market, The railroad Is operated by the Benson Logging Company and the sawmill Is owned by Samuel connelL The defense had Its Inning yesterday and Introduced testimony to show It Is Impracticable to accept general freight for carriage over the road owing to the steep grades on the railway. It was shown at yester day's hearing that these grades run as high as 7 per cent In some places. George Hegardt, chief engineer of the railroad, said he considered it Imprac ticable to operate standard gauge 1 freight cars over the line, owing to steep grades. The cost of operation is so great, wit nesses testified, that it would be a losing proposition to accept freight for delivery at Clatskanie. Commissioners C. B. Altchlson and T. K. Campbell will visit Clatskanie today and look over the railway. They will give their decision in the case later. SHRINERS TO STOP OFF HERE Pittsburg Special From Los Angeles Convention to Make Call.

TRUST DEED OF HOLDINGS Portland Railway, Light & Power Company Provides for Exten sions and Retirement of Bonds Xow Outstanding. The biggest mortgage ever filed in, Multnomah Countv was mit on record yesterday In the office of County Clerk ' Fields. The document la a trust deed for $15,000,000, made out In favor of the Trust Company of North America, covering all the properties of the' Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. The amount of the mortgage Is half the value of the properties owned by the company. The trust deed as filed. Is a printed book of 123 pages. Sixteen pases are required to describe the property of the company covered by the mortgage. The fee for filing It was $52.20, the largest fee for this service ever charged In Multnomah County. ( The document Is signed by O. M. Clark, the new president of the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company, and A. A. Stull, president of the Trust Company of North America. The instrument is. dated September 1, 1906, and was delivered to the Trust Company on April 24, 1907. The purpose of the trust deed is two fold. First It will provide for taking up underlying bond Issues against subsidiary corporations owned by the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company, and will also provide for extensions and Improve ments. The filing of this mortgage does not mean that all bonds previously Is sued by the corporations held by the company will be retired, but this mort gage provides a fund for this purpose when it seems desirable. The trust deed provides for the issue of bonds of the denomination of $1000 at S per cent. The chief purpose of the mortgage Is to provide funds for- the large improve ments and extensions already planned. Money for this purpose cannot, of course, be taken from the earnings, as large sums must be immediately available. It Is the purpose of the company to spend $1,260,000 this year on improve ments of various kinds. The second Caz adero power plant Is provided for in the big mortgage. Clubhouses to be built for the employes of the company are to be built this Summer and will cost $40. 000 more.
