1Z THE JIOKMXG OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, MAY 23, ltMJS. "DOCTOR" LEAVES TOWN HURRIEDLY W.F.Belknap, Medical Faker, Departs Suddenly, Leaving Baggage Behind. ESCAPES ROCKPILE TERM Fined $50 for Practicing Without License Two Ex-Circus Men, Employed by Belknap as 4iSteer ers," Held in Jail. Pr. W. F. Belknap, a sleek young medico with a suite of offices at 181 H First street, left town very suddenly yesterday morn in g. not even pausing for his bag and bag-gage. His baste was occasioned by assurance from the authorities that his presence m the city one hour after the moment of notification would result In his as signment as unofficial physician at the Kelly Butte rockpile. In his anxiety to get out of town, the doctor took an Oregon City car. If he intended going farther, no doubt he chose to visit that point first in order that his friends might bring up his baggage from the forbidden rear. To add to the inconveniences of his Junket, the law relieved him of $50 In gold Just prior to his departure, so that he had only a few dollars left, for while his practice has been large and remunerative Dr. - Belknap has squandered his earnings with a lavish hand, evidently believing the local field inexhaustible. BHknap left town because It had been found he was a practicing faker. He had no license or certificate of competency. Practicing fakers are not an uncommon class In the. city, but Belknap's methods were so peculiarly crude and nefarious that Detectives Hellyer and Maloney, who ferreted him out. succeeded In convicting him In the Municipal Court yesterday morning, not only of practicing medicine with out a license, but of the additional charge of vagrancy. It was contended that since he had no lawful occupa tion he therefore was possessed of no visible means of support, and accord ingly must be amenable to the law ap plying to vagrants. Judge Cameron sustained this view. With Belknap In the toils were Harry Bell and James F. Barton, gen tlemen of many aliases and little con science. They had been with the cir cus which lately visited the city. They left that aggregation to await the fes , tlval of roses, both belonging to the 1 light-fingered 'gentry. While engafeed in awaiting the advent of the festival thuy met with Or. Belknap. He recog nized in them the means of enlarging his practice, and set them to work lo-; eating victims on a commission basis. Detectives Hellyer and Maloney al ready had Bell and .Barton under ob servation, and they quickly included Belknap In the landscape. They ar rested the trio late Thursday afternoon and obtained Dr. Belknap's conviction yesterday morning. The - other two fakers are being held in Jail. The officers say they will insist on having Bell and Barton sent to the rockpile for keeping until the festival is ended. Dr. Belknap at first attempted to appear Indignant at his arrest. He de clared he was a reputable physician, and displayed cards revealing the fact that he had offices with Dr. E. Voose, who has been practicing In Portland for years. The officers were not con vinced, however, and after learning from the State Medical Board that Bel knap had no license, they proceeded to pearch hlin. That settled the matter, for in his pockets they found letters from some of his patients. These let ters showed beyond doubt that Bel knap was engaged exclusively in treat ing the unwary. The incriminating letters are as follows: Hubbard. Or. Dr. W. F Belknap Dear Sir: Yours of recent date at hand and eontenee noted and will say that I can not s any hair BtartinR yet and I have enough medlnon to last several weeks but have but one of the pills left. I ran tell that the medison had some effect but It does not teem to make the hair grow as- yet. What tt will do In the future we will have to find out. Yours Truly, D. KAl'FFMAN. Tmpqua. Ore.

After these letters were read by the polled Belknap made no further effort to defend himself. He pleaded guilty to both charges when taken into court. H1 said h1 really had been educated as a doctor, but never worked at the busi ness very hard. After being mulcted of $50 and given an hour in-which to leave town, he was introduced to the official city photographer, who pre served his classic t-ountenance for decorative purposes in the rogues gal lery. $250 FOR SOAKED TRUNK cott Hold Company Lets It Stay In Water in Basement., Judare O'Uay. of the Circuit Court, awarded Rose Paly $250 damages yes terday 1n her suit axainst the Scott Hotel Company. Miss luly is at pres ent employed as a domestic for Judge V. V. Gantonbein. She sued the hotel company to recover J.".49.50 because a trunk which she placed iivstoraRe was permitted to remain in the hotel base ment, where its contents became water soaked and vUueless. She said on the witness stand yester day that she paid i'S cents a month storage. Even after the trunk became saturated with water, said the plain tiff, the hotel company failed to notify her. nnd permitted it to remain In that condition for four months until the clothing contained therein was ruined. One of the witnesses for Miss Daly was Mrs. C L CSantenbeln. who went with her when the trunk was opened. SV1T OVF.Il TIMBEK I.AXD DEAL F. C. Wliltlcn ami J. C. Bryant Ask $10,507 I'rom M. C. Griswold. Suit to recover $10,507.4 on a timber deal ' was filed in the Circuit Court yesterday morning by F. C. Whltten and J.- C. Bryant against M. C. Griswold. It is al leged that Louis H Bean and Dr. T. W. Harris, of Eugene, were the owners of M46.9 acres of timber land In Lane Coun ty. Whltten nd Bryant assert that they agreed with Griswold that he should pur chase the land from the owners for $285. 149.30. The plaintiffs, it appears, had been granted the right by Bean and Dr. Harris to purchase the land for $25' an acre, or $210,149.50. They added $75,000 to this amount in agreeing to sell the land to Griswold, and expected to receive one third of the $75,004 in compensation for their services. Griswold afterward abandoned the pur chase from the plaintiffs, but had the land conveyed by Bean to the Security Savings & Trust Company, paying the bank $210,149.50. tVhitten and Bryant as sert that as they brought buyer and sell er together they are entitled to the cus tomary commission of 5 per cent, or 110,-507.48. Sue Former Partner. Alleging that T. E. Hills, formerly a member of the firm of Williams & Swank, falsely represented the value of the stock in the establishment to his partners when they boueht him out, J. D. Swank and C. A. Williams have brought suit against him In the Circuit Court. They are seek ing to recover $1155 damages. The com plaint asserts that on January 17. last, they offered to purchase his share of the stock. He represented to them that the invoice prk-e was $3750. In accordance with his representation, they paid him $250 cash, and conveyed to him property worth $3500. They assert that in reality the invoice price of the goods was $2595. G. A. R.

PASTOR BARRETT GHANGES H15 MIND Head of First Spiritual Society Now Wants Anti-Medium . Ordinance Changed. FORMERLY APPROVED BILL Spiritualists, Clairvoyants and Also Trance Mediums Appear Before , Council Committee to Protest, and Action Is Deferred. ' Councilman Cottel's famous anti medium 'ordinance, 'introduced at last week's meeting ot the City Council, came up before the health and police committee wiich met in the Council chambers yes tt rday - morning. In view of the an nouncement of the fact that the ordi nance had been turned over to the health and police committee of the City Council, practically all Portland's fashionable readers of the future, spiritualists, clari voyants, second-sight artists, trance me diums, etc., were oivjiand to utter protest and demand a hearing. Harrison D. Barrett. pastor of the First Spiritual Society, who so heartily in dorsed the ordinance as presented by Councilman Cottel, experienced a sudden change of heart yesterday morning when he found himself face to face with a score or more of determined mediums all set on annihilating the ordinance and its supporters. Rev. Mr. Barrett was presented by Dr. Cottel. who reclined in a chair near the committee table. When Rev. Mr. Barrett, who professes to be an advocate of "higher spiritualism," arose, a significant glance went around the Council chamber from the so-called powered-medlums. Whether this had any thing o do with the tone of the Rev. Mr. Barrett's address is not known, but any way there were many remedies to the ordinance, as originally drafted, that he took occasion, to suggest, although having most favorably approved of the ordinance verbatim when It waa first introduced. Section four of the ordinance. Rev. Mr. Barrett suggested, should be eliminated, as well as several other clauses which might tend to create or impose hardships on many honest practicing mediums who were breaking no laws either against the municipality or private individuals. He said that the general phrasing of the or dinance should be changed and said that he has conferred with the City Attorney with regard to this being done. Rev. Mr. Barrett declared the ordinance to be altogether too sweeping, as well u being filled with considerable objection able English. Too many harsh terms are used, according to Rev. Mr. Barrett, and these, positively, so he declares, must be swept from the ordinance. The pastor of the spiritualistic flock ad mitted during the meeting that he was not gifted with the "power," but said he believed that there are many honest peo ple who have, some such power. He said that he fills his calllnfr by the Dreachine of spiritualism and spreading the faith and. does not need to delve into the dark and deep mysteries of the other world. The committee decided to place the ordinance on the shelf until its next meeting, so as to give the spiritualists an opportunity to get together and And out just what kind of an ordinance will satisfy them.

Key.- Dr. Waters Says Specification Regarding Dancing, Etc., Should Be Eliminated. Representatives of 30 chapters from churches of the Portland district were present, yesterday morning at the opening of the first annual convention of the Portland. District Epworth League, which convened In the University Park Metho dist Church. W. Warren presided. After devotional exercises conducted by Rev. T. C. Mcpherson, the regular busi ness of the convention was taken up. The most interesting feature of the day's programme was the question box, conducted by Dr. D. A. Waters, who answered among other questions, "Should specification No. 248 be eliminated from the Methodist discipline?" This was sub mitted to Dr. Waters among others from the audience, and is important for the reason that it is now pending before the general conference on the recommendation- of several of the bishops that it be eliminated and for the reason also that a strong petition went from Oregon against its elimination. Dr. Waters contended that the speci fication ought to be eliminated and that it would be eliminated either at the present General Conference, or at some future one. This specification, he said, condemns dancing, card play-; ing. tneater-going. and norae-racing. Dr. Waters, in anewering the ques tion, declared it was useless to set forth these particular Items and con demn them, and leave a still longer list of other things not condemned which are Just as bad and even more vicious than these. It will not, he de clared, ' let down the bars on these worldly practices by any means, but they will stand under the condemna lon of the Methodist Episcopal Church as much as ever. Whether the amuse ment question will be further consid ered remains to be seen. It is nowhere on the programme but was brought out through the question box In the afternoon. In the forenoon H. A. Kill am read a paper on "The Epworth League a a Spiritual Force In the Church," which was fol Towed by discussion. The papers by James A. Bamforth, "The World for Christ in This Generation," "Our Brother by the Wayside" by Mrs. Lena Sweetland, and "The Methods and Phases of Social Work,", by Roy Glass, called out favorable comment. F. S. Francis explained his method in conducting the office of secretary, and Mrs. Stella H. Burt spoke of the "Junior Leagues." Last night Rev. J. F. Ghormley delivered an address on the temperance question to a large audience. One of the interesting features of the convention is the missionary exhibits from foreign lands in a side room, where one may spend an hour with profit study ing the articles and pictures from the mission fields. The church is handsome ly decorated and the delegates are being entertained by members of the University Park Church. For today the programme Is as follows; . 9 A. M. Devotionals. led by Rev. L. F. Smith; business session; roll call of chapters; 1:30 P. M. Devotionals. led by Rev. H. .C. Campbell; rally of junior league under direction of the district superintendent; 4 P.

DIES WHILE ON TRIP Saginaw Woman Victim or Paralysis In Union Depot. An elderly, well-oressed lady of refined appearance, who arrived in this city on the 11:30 train Thursday night, and who was afterwards found to be Mrs. George W. Bell, of Saginaw, Mich., was discov ered in an unconscious condition in the waiting-room of the Union depot , and taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where she died from the effects of a stroke of paralysis at 4 o'clock yesterday morning without having recovered con sciousness. Her identification was made by Ipttprp and otner documents in her , BINDENBERGER. possession, which included a bank book, lately balanced, showing that she had several thousand dollars deposited to her credit in one of the Saginaw banks. Al though elderly and alone, from letters found, it is believed that she traveled extensively as a pleasure seeker and that she had come to Portland on a visit with the intention of looking over the Pacific Northwest country. Instructions were received by telegraph last night from relatives in Saginaw and the remains will be shipped East for burial. Wants Contract Changed. , - The suit of W. E. Gilbert against H. G. Colton to have certain wordo t in stated in a contract relative to fbe running ot the defendant's sawmill at Mlddleton, - Wash., was begun befora Judge o'Day yesterday. Under the contract the plaintiff was to operate the mill, but he alleges that certain phrases which should have been includ ed were stricken out by Colton. Mr. Frederick Bindenberger, of Cranford, N. J., who is 73 years of age, thought he was too old to work at his carpenter trade, as he was troubled continually with headache, indigestion and pains which seemed to be riieu matic. On the advice of a friend, Mr. Bin denberger started taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which completely cured him. He now has a good appetite and can do as good a day's work as any man. Recently Mr. Bindenberger wrote: "Pre vious to three years ago I thought I was too old to work any more at my trade as a carpenter. I was tired out, had what seemed to be rheumatism in my back and shoulder, had indigestion, headaehe and was pretty generally broken up. I was advised by a friend to take Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, so I bought a bottle. I kept get ting better; what seemed to be rheumatism left me; my appetite came back; I began to feci like doing something, so I went to work, and have worked ever since, taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey every day. I have only lost four hours since last Novem ber, and that was on account of the snow being too deep to get to the shop untH noon. I feel as young as I did thirty years ago and cau make some of the younger ones hustle.- I will be 73 years old next August, if I live until then, and I guess I will.
