This (trew out of the failure of Reed to pay for three tons of ooal used by him between November 1. 190S. and January, lf7. Mrs. Reed is joined as a co-defendent, the bill being; family expenses. Three complaints, two of them amended, have been filed and the defendants had till Thursday to an wer. Reed, accompanied; by bis, attorney, R. O. Morrow, arrived at court in a bis black touring car. accompanied by two friends. Fred I Kverson represented the 4omplaining' ooaJ company. Keed took the stand, making a grimaiv and sticking his tongue out to molaten his lipa. After taking oath. Reed stated that he had . been in Portland thre years, the first one of which lie had been connected with the Board of Trade, and the test two of which he hud been selling real estate on commission. Asked if he had any other business, he said he was connected with the Oregon Republican Civic League. Aeked if he possessed any property he wud that he had no real estate, either in Portland or elsewhere, hetd no mort gages or securities of any description, and hud only a few household effect. "Have you nothing else on which you could realize money?" asked Attorney Bverson. "I have a patent," answered Reed. "What kind of a patent?" Offers to Give His Patent. "A ripper, a sort of a thimble attach ment, to be worn on the Anger for ripping seams. 1 had it patented five or six years aeo, but never made any money out of it. I'll give it to you If you want it.' After consultation with his clients, At torney Kverson decided that he did not want the patent. Heed ntntvd that his wife had no property, either, nor any income, or anything beside the household furniture mentioned. "How do you support yourself?" asked Bverson. "By real estate," answered Reed. "I have bslf a donen offices, one at 4SR Hut hfghth street. North, another at Mr. Morrow's office, and several others in different places." "Is this your only means of support?" "Yes. sir. except possibly $o0 or $75 a month that I get from the Oregon Re publican Civic Ieague." "When do they pay you?" asked Kver son. "In advance, whenever they happen to have it." answered Reed. "Whenever somebody comes in and gives them some money I get my commission. I have been paid for March to April, and I suppose there is about $C?0 coming to me now." "Why do you get this money?' "For the care of the books," Reed stated that he had no other means of support, and that as he kept no hooka he had no idea how much he made on his real estate commissions tn the pant year. Pinned down, he said that since January 1 of this year he had made less than $ino. Me said that he had no cash in any safe deposit vault or box, either In Portland or anywhere else, and no funds of any nature, save possibly $4 or $6 in small chsnije in his pockets. Furniture Secures ftglOO XoteK. "How much is your houerold property worth?" asked Fverson. "Oh, T don't know. Perhaps it would bring $4O0 or JfcoO under the hammer. "Are there any incumbrances on this?" "Yes. sir. $Tn, about." "What are these encumbrances?" "They are notes or chattel mortgages given for money that I owe. They do not represent the full amount: they are merely expressions of good faith, to show thst 1 intend to pay the money when I can." Asked what these mortgages were in detail. Reed said: "One Is for $1W to W. H. Moore, of The Oregon Trust Com pany. Then there are two, one to A. A Bailey and one to T. C. Devlin, for I think it is $1300 each." Ajiked to account for this money Reed wu unable ro remember where it went. He thought most of it wasv spent for gen eral expense since he had left the Board of Trade two years aro. He had kept no accounts whatever, and so did not know. In answer to further questioning;. Reed jald that Mr. IevUn had been advancing him money for over two years, and that he had given the mortgage Just as gen eral security, for a part of what he had received. He owed nothing to Mr. Hod son and Meaars. Bailey, Moore and Dev lin all knew about; the other mortgages, Hia counsel owed him nothing, nor did lou Wagner. Red did not deny the debt and said he had been untMe to pay It for the past year. Regarding hi real estate commission. Reed though they were lees than t-0 a month, and hts house rent amounted to $28. Attorney JDverson then asked the wit ness how he managed to lire so well, but Mr. Morrow objected to the question, explaining- to the court that if Reed was able to live better than the rest of them and yet swore he had no appreciable In come, it was a matter on which he was to be congratulated, and did not enter into the proceedings. Reed said he had run no bills anywhere for the past year and was unable to estimate his house hold expenses. He had no grocery bill, paying cash for whatever he got. "How about your meat Dili? asked Everson. I pay that every two weeks or so." answered Reed. "Sometimes it amounts to $2 and sometimes to $7 and sometimes there isn't any bill, as I don't eat meat, or dine downtown.' Doesn't Recall Small Bill. Reed said he tried to keep his house hold expenses down to less than $&0 a month, and usually succeeded. This in cluded the $25 rent. He had only run one or two sin ail bills since the coal bill was contracted and could not remember what they were, but knew they were paid. At this point Attorney Morrow addressed the oourt- "Your honor." said he, "ever since 1885 I have tried to keep a carefully itemized account of my own expenditures and have been most methodical about It. Yet last month, in balancing my books, 1 was surprised to find that, trained as I am. I had forgotten and overlooked $30 that I took in. If I would do a thing like that It is small wonder that Mr. Reed, who keeps no account, should not know how much he spends or gets. There are many little items, of but a few cents each, that mount up to a great amount, more than you would think unless you kpt careful account." Mr. Morrow added that hts remark were not intro duced as testimony, but merely to ex plain the reason why Reed could not re member financial details. Attorney Evei son was tryln g to out the Gordlan knot as to where Reed frot his money, aside from the $40 to $75 thst he received from the Oregon Re publican Civic League, when Reed sud denly volunteered the information. "To make it plain, and save question in." said he. "I will tell you where I i RALPH ACKI.KY. 1 Opens Offices In Port land to Boost Tillamook. TTIJjAWOOK, Or.. April T. (Spe cial.)

Whenever I need more thar I can raise here, I write home to father for it." Reed was excused from the stand, and Mr. Devlin was called and sworn. He said he had known Reed several years, that he held hts note for $1200, and that this was only a partial amount of the money he had advanced to Reed. He knew of no other sources of income that the defendant had save those he mentioned on the stand. Mr. Bailey, the next witness, said that he knew Reed well, and liked him, and that he had advanced htm money at different times Just out of friend ship. "I've been down and out and up against It myself," said Mr. Bailey, "and so I'm willing to help a man out." Mr. Bailey said he held a mortgage on Reed's household goods for about $1200. and knew about the other mort gages, last January he had given Heed $300 additional, and since then bad given him two loans, one of $25 and one of $-). He hoped and ex pected to get it all back some day. He supposed Reed also had other friends who loaned him money, from time to time, .lust out of friendship. He added that he didn't mind coming to court and testifying, as he wasn't buav, and wan out "doing politics." Judge Olson dismissed the proceed ings, and Reed, his attorney. Bailey and some of his friends entered the au tomobile, lighted fat cigars and chug ged away. Clnh Will Indorse Candidates. A meeting for members and citizens will be held tonight by the Forty-fifth Precinct Republican Club, at its quarters, on Kast Twenty-seventh and Powell streets for the purpose of Indorsing candi dates in the primary "election. No candi dates will be admitted to this meeting, as it is desired that there should be entire freedom for discussion of the several citlrens who will come up for the several offices. It is probable that the, club will indorse one of the many candidates for Diatrict Attorney. So far the club has indorsed three candidates: J. B. Kelly, for Sfljfte Senator: J. H. Hickman and H. E. Northup, for Representatives. RUNS FROM STREET THUG H. A. Bell Saves Money by Taking to His Heels. A highwayman, who disdained the dis grnlse of a maelc. attempted to hold-up H. A.

Spring style Han an snoes at Rosenthal's BIG INCREASE II COUNTY'S VOTERS Registration Books Close With Total of 31,125 Names . on the List.. GAIN OVER 1906 IS 10,008 Growth of 50, 000 in Popnlation During Two Years Is Indicated, With Notaries Public Yet to Hear Prom. An increase of in the population of Multnomah County during the last two years Is revealed by the registration of voters for the primary election. When the registration books closed at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, p.. total of Z.V& electors had registered, as against 21,117 for the IMS primary election. This gain in registration, amounting to lo.Otis. will be further increased by propably 2.VI to day, when the notaries publlo throughout the county send 1n their blanks to County Clerk Fields. Of the total registration, 34.371 are Republicans. aLt enrolled as Democrats and 1542 gave miscellaneous political designations. Not a single Popu list registered, while one voter signed up as an Anarchist. The latter waa Joslah L. Drinker, aged 41 years, of thi city. Drinker signed as a native of the United States, giving Michigan as the state of his nativity. The registration yesterday was a dis appointment, particularly to County Clerk Fields, who had provided an extra force of assistants to handle the rush that was expected at the last minute. Only 973 voters registered during the day. appor tioned as follows: Republicans, W: Dem ocrats, 148: and miscellaneous, 26. C. A. Johnson, a carpenter, residing at 417 Man hattan street, was the last man to qualify aa a voter in the primary election. He registered as a Democrat. M. Wise, a saloonkeeper at 167 North Sixth street, wm the last man to present himself for registration, but his application waa de nied. Wise Is a Hungarian and had failed to bring his naturalization papers with him. Having failed to register two years ago. Wise swore his vote in, but the regu larity of his registration required that he exhibit the evidences of his citizenship. Precinct List Sot Ready. Tt will be several days before County Clerk Field will be able to segregate the registrations so as to show the registered vote In each precinct. At the same time he will be required to certify to the Sec retary of State at Salem showing the totaJ registration and the registration un der the following classifications: Repub licans, Democrats. Prohibitionists. Social ists. Populists, Independents, and thoie that refused to give their political deslg. notions. The registration bonks will be opened again April 22 for the registration of other voters for the general election in June. They will be closed finally on May IK. The general election will be held Monday. June 1.

Mil Country 3..V2A Total 2.1.4A8 10.46S Fields Wants Xew System. For the- purpose of effecting a more thorough registration of the voters, County Clerk Fields advocates amend ments to the registration law which will authorise deputies from the County Clerk's office to register voters at their homes or place of business, particularly factories. He would also have the County Court -empowered to appoint registrars in each of the country precincts, believ ing that such a plan would work much more satisfactorily than the law as it Is now framed. Under the present law farmers can register with a notary public, but the plan does not bring out a full registration, the experience being that It is quite as inconvenient for the average farmer to hunt up the notary as it would be for him to visit the County Clerk's office. A bill providing for the two amendments suggested by County Clerk Fields was drafted by that official two years ago and introduced in the House at the 1907 sesston by Joseph W. Beveridge. Repre sentative from Multnomah County. The measure passed both houses almost unan imously, but was vetoed by Governor Chamberlain. Since then the need for some such changes in the law has become the more apparent and it 1s possible that the veto of the Governor may not be sus tained by the Legislature next Winter, when it is returned with the bill for the further consideration of the two houses. "The need for some such change in the law is very great, especially 1n a county the slie of Multnomah." said Mr. Fields yesterday. "The expense to the county would not be large and aside from the convenience such a plan would prove to the large number of men who work in the mills and factories. It would insure a full RICH GOLD MINE FOUND UNDER . PRIVATE CEMETERY IN ALASKA After Burying Miners for Soma Years, Judge Sliscovich Goes Deeper and Strikes Valuable Quartz. HAVH you ever heard of a man who turned a cemetery Into a gold mine? A cemetery where the bodies were burled in ice and anowT If you have not, here is one. The man who did this is Joe Judge) Sliscovich, of Nome, Alaska. Judge Sliscovich is a guest at the Hotel Lenox, and he Is on his way back to Nome, after having spent the Winter In New York. Judge Sliscovich went to Alaska before It became famous for its gold and tta Jack London and Rex Beach stories. He dab bled a little in mining, but gave the most of hia attention to hauling freight and running a roadhouse for the benefit of the goldseekers. At one of his roadhouses. about IS miles from Nome, he laid out a plat of ground for a cemetery- He had to do thts because soma of the foolish gold hunters insisted on dying. For nine years he conducted the frosen graveyard, never dreaming that underneath this borne of the silent population waa buried the riches he had dreamed of and hoped some day to discover. One day he decided to cut out surface mining and dig for quartz. He was laughed at by the other miners. But he kept on diggincr. discovered a rich quartz mine, and is now laughing at the other fellows.

SIGNS OF FIGHT TO DEATH Body of Man and Footprints of Woman on Beach. SAN DIEOO, Cal.. .April 7. Disrobed and with blood still trickling from a small wound In the head above the right eye, the body of, an unknown man waa found on the beach at the foot of Twenty-ninth street at noon. The man was evidently murdered. An examination of the beach showed that the man had been accompanied by a woman. In several places the print of her shoe in the sand was distinct. Evidences were also shown In the sand of scuffles which had taken place be tween the man and woman at several places along the beach. State Railroad Commissioner. There is a growing sentiment among tha substantial commercial Interests of the City of Portland that at least one member of the State Board of Railroad Commissioners, in order to obtain the best results, should be a man with prac tical railroad experience. In the pending campaign such a man is found In the person of W. H. Hurlburt. who for the past 35 years has been engaged in rail road work, having occupied positions of responsibility and trust in every depart mentconstruction, operating and traffic. It is generally conceded that the expert knowledge thus gained must be of ines timable value to the Board. Mr. Hurlburt is not now in any way, either directly or indirectly Interested in. or connected with, any railroad company find is therefore in a position to render the state the best possible service by dealing fairly wtth all interests involved within the Jurisdiction of the Commission. Tomorrow and Friday will positively be the last days for discount on West Side gas bills. Portland Gas Company. of my guesta," said Judge Sliscovich yes terday, "because the tunnel I am digging, while it runs across the cemetery, will be many feet below the deepest rrave. When I turned the ground over for a graveyard I had no idea that my fortune lay underneath. Why. I lived near the place off and on for nine years, and all the time hunted for gold somewhere else. "Old Alaska miners laughed at me when I began to sink the shaft, and they thought me plumb crazy when I spent 130,000 driving a 400-foot tunnel. They haven't laughed at me for two years, and the Slisco mine is turning out the gold." Drifting away from Alaska, Judga Slis covich talked of the financial situation in the East. "Tou folks on the Coast can't realize what the panic has done in the Bast. Money never was tighter than It Is now. Men who have cash on hand are not In vesting it In mining or any other kind of property. They are loanlng.lt. and only to friends, at a tremendous high rate of Interest. New York is full of Alaska and Nevada mining men who went back there last Fall, hoping to get money to develop their properties, and they haven't got money enough to get back home. I look for this condition Jo prevail until after the election, but just now you could not sell a $30 gold piece for S19, if it waa rep resented in a gold mine." YOUR LAW WHO WILL MAKE THEM? Theorists and but what Portland needs today is careful legislators who will enact laws along lines that will promote Portland's development. These men are practical business men who have helped build up Portland men whose interests here are heavy men who are experienced in legislation. These men pay their debts; make good their word can hold up their heads in the City and State where they have been known foryears. VOTE EUGENE READY FOR GRANGE STATE MASTER BUXTON SATS ORDER IS OROW1XG. Advlsm Members to Present Pithy and Well-Considered Resolu tion at Meeting. Austin T. Buxton, C. KL Spenoe and B. G. leedy, executive committee, are pre paring for the Rfith session of the State Orange, which will meet in Eugene In Oddfellows hall, at 10 A. M., Tueadny. May 13. It is expected that those who attend will secure the usual reduced rates on the certificate plan. The local committee at Eugene la making every possible arrangement to make the visit to that city agreeable and Interesting. Dollar-a-day rates have been arranged for at the hotel. Those who attend will have an opportunity of visiting the University of Oregon. A full attendance at this session of the State Grange ia expected. State Master Buxton advises that delegates both north and south of Kugene make their plana to reach there Monday In order to be on hand at the opening of the session Tuesday, which will he devoted to organisation. Tuesday evening the people of Eugene will give the delegates a reception and Wednesday morning the real work of the' session will be begun. Wednesday at 1 P. M., is the time fixed for election of officers. The degree work will be In the Pomona and Flora degrees and officers will be In stalled. The session will not be finished before Friday afternoon or evening. State Master Buxton says: "This la a very Important aeaalon and it Is hoped that all delegates will come prepared for substantial work. The order In our state seems to b entering on a period of good growth of a permanent character. This has been induced by the sound and very useful character of Its work In matters of state aa well as National Import during recent years, and ita onward progress should not be im peded by any backward or ill-advised moves at this time. I trust and believe that the same wise counsels and broad principles of charity that have guided it In the past and which alone can carry it through dangers In the future will still prevail and that the coming sessions may mark the begimvmg of still better things. "Be sure the resolutions to be offered are of sufficient importance to warrant the State Grange in taking up lta time with their consideration. Tt would be far better if all resolutions could go through two or three subordlnata granges before coming to the State Grange. Having finally determined that your resolution is worthy of consideration, boll It down; eliminate all unnecessary phrases and preambles: make it short and to the point, and be sure that it Is drawn in such a way as to be easily understood. Then it will probably re ceive careful consideration." RECONCILES THE GOULDS George Gould's Wife Overcomes Ob jections to Anna's Marriage. NEW YORK. April 7. That an agree ment has been reached among the rela tives of Mme. Gould to interpose no fur ther objection to her engagement to the Prince de Sagan, waa reported today. The persistency of the Prince, who re cently announced that he would forego his plan to return to Paris this week, and the insistence of Mme. Gould upon her right to decide for herself, are said to have broken opposition to the engage ment so that all. expect George Gould have consented to it. The latter is the custodian of his sister's property. Mrs. George Gould Is reported to have displayed the tact of a diplomat in bring ing about an agreement. She returned yesterday from a trip and found Mme. Gould at the apartments of her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Morse, at the St. Regis, while her relatives were still unrecon ciled. Mrs. Gould Is believed to have undertaken the part of mediator with such success that the objections of the members of the family, other than George Gould, have been overcome.
