THE MORNING OREGOXIAN", WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1908. 13 PLEAD NOT GUILTY Three Title Bank Officials Are Arraigned. THEIR DEMURRERS FAIL J. Thorbum Ross T. T. Burkhart and .1. E. Aitchtson Now Face Trial for Embezzlement of School Funds. Three of the indicted offiuials of the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust Com pany Bank pleaded not guilty before Judge Cleland. of the Circuit Court, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The court had earlier In the day overruled the de murrers to the informations against the defendants. J. Thorhurn Ross, T. T. Burkhart and John K. Altchison. Attor ney Wallace McC'amant announced that he would file a motion Tor a change of venue In the cape of'Ross. His argument is to be heard at 2 P. M. Monday. Harri son Allen, attorney for the other bank officials, said he had not yet decided whether or not he would file a motion for a chanca of venue. The ground for the motion to transfer the case to an other county for trial is that there is such a prejudice In Multnomah County against the bank officials that there will be no ppsslhlllty of securing a fair jury. In overruling the demurrer, which al leged that because November 2 -was a holiday no legal demand could have been made by State Treasurer Steel for the re turn of the state funds on that day. Judge tTleland said that the statute pro vided for the doing of ministerial act on holidays, but not Judicial acts. Tha paying of state money, or the demand that it be paid. Judge Cleland said, was not a judicial act. Regarding the contention of the Indicted officials that the money was in the pos session of the bank, while the informa tions charge the bank's officers with having it In their possession, the court ruled that the clause in the informations stating that the money was held "for safekeeping, to he returned to the state." carried them beyond the possibility of being ruled out on this technical ground. Ross is to he tried separately from Rurkhart, Altchison and George 11. Hill. District Attorney Manning wishes 'to try the case first in which the officials are charged with falling to repay the school money. MARQUAM AGAIN" DEFEATED i'oiirt Sustains Demurrer and Strikes Out Amended Complaint. P. A, Martiuam lost again yesterday morning in his suit to obtain the privilege -vf redeeming the Marquam Building from nortgagc sale. Judge Cleland of the Circuit Court sustaining the demurrer of - the United States Mortgage Trust Company and the defunct Title Bank, to the amended complaint filed by Marquam's attorneys. The motion of the mortgage ompany and the bank that the amended complaint be stricken from the files was ilso sustained. The demurrer alleged that Marquam had no light to take the Impositions of J.. Thorbum Ross, W. M. I.sdd. W. M. Gregory and others, when these witnesses were within the jurisdic tion of the court, and there was no likeli hood that they would leave the state be fore the trial.. Marquam's former suit was dismissed by Presiding Judge Cleland on the ground that his complaint 'did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. Then his nttorneys filed the amended complaint on the ground that new facts had developed. Attorneys for the de fendants alleged In their motion that the new suit was the same as the old one, the new points brought out being in efficient to constitute a new suit. Attorneys for Marquam say that the rase will he taken to the Supreme Court gain. They were allowed unttl next Monday to determine on a course of action. DESCRIBES NEW HlLJj BRIDGES Modjeski Writes of Strnctnre Across Willamette and Columbia. The rurrent Issue of the Railway Age contains descriptions of the bridges cross the Columbia and Willamette Klvers now being erected by . the Spo kane. Portland & Seattle Railway.. The article is written by Ralph Modjeski. M. AM.. Soc. C. K.. who is In charge of the building of these two mammoth struc tures. The article is accompanied by a supplement to the issue of the magasine which contains drawings of the two structures as they will look when com pleted, as well as details of the piers and the steel superstructure. Mr. Modjeski's article shows that the bridge across the Columbia River will bo one of the longest continuous railroad structures In the country. If not In the world and. with the viaduct across Hay den Island and the bridge over Oregon Slough, will be WoS feet, or about a mile and a quarter. In length. Mr. Moil.ieski says the reason Hayden Island Is to be crossed by a bridge in stead of an embankment is that in times of high water in the Columbia the- floods will he less liable to wash the bridge piers across the main channel than if an embankment existed across Hayden Island, which would turn the full force of the flood water against the piers. KMMONS TRIAIi IS DELAYED Defene Is Granted Permission to 111 Amended Answer. The suit of A. C. Kmtnons against Thomas Owens and T. J. Tobin, the trial of which was begun in Judge t?ntenhein's department of the- Circuit t'ourt yesterday morning, will be re sumed this morning. Mr. Kmmons. who Is a well-known Portland lawyer. Is seeking to recover $50,000 damages for false arrest and imprisonment. The opening statements were being made yesterday morning when John M. .Gearln. attorney for the defend ants, asked an opportunity to file an amended answer. Charles H. Carey, of counsel for Kmmons. objected, but the court decided to grant the time desired. Owens and Tohln are alleged to have seriously Injured the husiness and reputation of Kmmons by having him arrested in February. 1907. together with W. P. Reed and J. S. Holland, for alleged larceny of certain books and papers In the possession of the C. E. I.OSS Company at Drain. The case was dismissed by James A. Sterling. Justice of the Peace at Drain, four days after the arrest, it having been shown that the lawyer had com mitted no crime whatever.

Induces Members to Call for Plans and Estimates on Cost of X-'n-dcrground Conduits. Mayor Lane yesterday demonstrated his ability to meet the majority fac- tion of the City Council on its bwri battleground, when he called a moot ing: of the Subway Commission and proceeded to transact business. ' On the eve of the day when the Council is supposed to let fall the official ax to behead the Commission, the Mayor jumped into tne breach and the members who gathered in his office at 4 o'clock and decided to employ an expert engineer to lay out the pro posed underground conduit system for the fire limits, so long talked of. This was nil done, despite the fact that Mayor Lane himself predicted that to day the power of the Commission would" be "'.killed" by trie political ene mies of himself at the Council ses sion. The ordinance carries with it an ap propriation of JoOaO to be used in se curing estimates of the probable cost of building the underground con duits, and whatever the commission might see fit to expend it for. City Engineer Taylor was authorised to proceed to engage an expert to lay out the plans, and it was voted 'to pay for this out of the appropriation. An opinion on legal phases of the matter was read from City Attorney Republican. I had no conversation at all with him yesterday or the day before about the difference between advertise ments and politics In his paper. That is. untrue, but this is true, that for over 30 years and more the Catholic Sentinel has been published in this city and has never before been besmudged with rotten politics until Sullivan got a hold on it. 1 am tied down to certain lines that-1 can't deviate from in the public press, I only wish I could state the opinion .of the clergy as a whole as to Sullivan's actions towards me or what occurred in quarters that cannot be mentioned here on account of organization discipline. But men who read this statement will under stand; they now see plainly who was playing politics. My friends are accused of trying to create dissensions ' in the Irish societies. This is false, my friends are only trying to show to good Irishmen and the Catholic people how they have been imposed upon so that they may cut the barnacles of politics out of their or ganisations and save them from dis ruption. "Hundreds of men have told me per sonally that It was most unfortunate that Sullivan should accept office while editing a Catholic paper. He cannot eerve two masters, he cannot serve God and mammon. If he Is as nice and clean as he pretends to be let him resign as editor of the Catholic Sentinel while serving as a political appointee, then perhaps some people might have confidence in him. But Sullivan Won t do that, and that is' the proof to everybody who has studied this controversy that one reason for Sullivan's appointment is his promise to use the Catholic Sentinel for politics and politics of the Lane brand. '"Sullivan's resignation as county presi dent of the Hibernians is only a sop to still- the. resentment he has stirred up. He can do no further harm now among Irish societies, they are on to him. For the benefit of all concerned now let him follow it up with his resignation as editor of the Catholic Sentinel. A Catholic newspaper should be ahove suspicion.' IXV11.Y M ETF-OKOIXX; IC A I.
