THE 3IORNIXG - OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, - FEBRUARY 16, 1910. 6 COURT REFUSES TO i REHEAR ROSS CASE Five-Year Sentence Is Af firmed, but Fine Is Set Aside. JUSTICE- KING DISSENTS Ex-Banker, Convicted of Wrongful Conversion of State Money, Will Xow Prepare for Appeal to United States Court. SALEM. Or., Feb. 3 5. (Special.) The Supreme Court today denied the petition of J. Thorburn Robs, presi dent of the defunct Title Guarantee & Trust Company, for a rehearing. The finding: of the lower court are affirm ed, but are modified to the extent that the fine of $575,853.74 is set aside. Justice King dissents from the opinion of the court, in a brief state ment. The opinion of the court Is written by Justice Eakin. After a general dis . cussion of tne act of 1907 as applied to this case, it is hold that "the con clusion is unavoidable, that this act only contemplates general deposits of funds other than the educational, and for which interest shall be paid. It -was evidently the purpose of the legis lature, by these provisions, to take . the educational funds out of that cus- torn or right of the treasurer to make : general deposits as recognized in , Eaker vs. Williams. It is not held in the opinion that ' the Trust company or the defendants 1 were officers of the state, but the I Act of 1907 authorizes their possession '. of state money for- the state. - When the treasurer deposits the money, as directed by the Act of 1907, his personal liability therefor Is term i Inated. although it is still subject to : his disposal. Company Received Money. i The depository does not receive the money for him, but for the state, that Is. by express direction of the law and not at the option ,of th,e treasurer. " The truBt company and defendants did receive this money for the state by snecial authorization, and are as clear ly within the very words of the stat utes as the treasurer would be." It is held that "this is not a case where some other officer converted the money and defendant is held respons slble for that act, by reason of his relation to the bank. There is nothing n tha rocord to disclose that any other officer wrongfully converted, the ! money. The wrongful act was done by the officers and directors who made the arrangements to re t ceive the special deposit and permitted It to be mingled with its general de i posit without restriction upon Its use." i In answer to the plea that the In dictment was insufficient, the appel i late court declares "there Is nothing left doubtful as to the particular act ! constituting the offense." !

The miners will re sume work February 21. Details of the settlement with the men have not been received, but It is rumored authorita tively here from private sources that the miners lost practically every point of contention. One of the most interesting points regarding the strike Is the benefit Japan gained by it. The first shipment of this Japanese coal arrived at Melbourne .January 2. No difficulty was experienced in get ting the wharf-laborers . to handle the foreign coal. There are still 91 steam ers tied up In Sydney alone. The chief efforts of the government have been directed toward supplying the railways and mail-steamers. At Sydney the Federated Seamen's Union has 1000 idle men on Its list, while at other ports the number makes another 1000. Relief pay at the rate of one pound weekly is disbursed. Direct pas senger service from Sydney to other Important ports along the coast has been discontinued. PORTLAND MAN VICTOR WASHIXGTOX SUPREME COURT RENDERS BIG DECISION. FOUNDER GREETED BY ENDEAVOREHS Dr. Francis E. Clark, World's President of Society, Joins Big Assembly. Valuable Tract of Land Xear Brem erton Xavy-Yard Involved In Action Dismissed at Olympia. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Feb. 15. (Special.) Fred A. Ballin, of Portland, won. a victory here today when the State Supreme Court dismissed a decision of the Kitsap County Superior Court against him and ordered the suit dismissed, as barred both by the statute of limitations and by equity. Years ago, on a visit to the Sound, Mr. iBallin met Lewis A. Gassaway, who had an option of purchase covering 568 lots In Charleston, near the navy-yard. For a half interest in the property Ballin put up i610. to be paid on the option, and later wrote offering to advance the additional J250 necessary to close the deal, the ad Vance to be repaid from first sales. He heard nothing from Gassaway, and final ly made another trip to Seattle and found Gassaway had invested $260 in a coal op tion and lost it. Ballin then put up $250 more. Induced Gassaway to mortgage the property for the balance, $3G0, of the purchase price, and Ballin took a deed to the property, but gave a contract to divide proceeds with Gassaway from sales after his ad vancements were repaid. Gassaway held out $50 of the mortgage money to pay some of his personal debts, sold some of the property for $50 and pocketed all but $10 of the payment, and then Ballin, called the contract off. Seven years later, when the property had quad rupled in value, Gassaway brought suit for an accounting and won In the lower court. The Supreme Court says tersely he will get nothing and must pay all the costs. 19TH CONVENTION OPENS ROSS OPENS WAY FOR APPEAL Convicted Banker Would Escape Sentence on Technicality. Ross' attorneys have opened the way for taking their case into the Federal Court, thereby postponing the time when their client must go to the Penitentiary. Wallace McCamant, chief counsel, is In California, however. The point was made on appeal of the rase to the Supreme Court that Ross was arrested upon an information by tfce Dis trict Attorney, instead of an indictment by the grand jury. The point made was that the law passed by the last Oregon Legislature, changing the criminal prac tice of the state from the District Attor ney system to the grand Jury system was reactive, and would compel the submis sion of all pending cases to the grand Jury. HOPE OF RESCUE REVIVED Jvew Search to Be Made for Missing Liner Waratah. VANCOUVER. B. C. Feb. 15. (Spe cial.) According to advices brought here by the steamship Makura from Australia, hope has not been given up of finding the missing steamer Waratah, which was be lieved to have gone down off the African Coast, or to have, broken . down and drifted into strange waters. In spite of the failure of previous searches, the steamship Wakefield has been chartered by the Australian government to under take a last search. Money has been furnished by New South Wals and relatives of the passen gers on the Waratah living in England. The Wakefield left Durban January 31 and was Instructed particularly to call at the almost uninhabited Kerguelen Is lands, where it Is hoped, some trace may be found of the big lther. It Is estimated that 14.500 is payable to the relatives of 115 members of the Waratah's . crew, . under the workmen's compensation act. ' The total distance ' covered hy ' the steamer Sabine, which made th longest and most complete search for the Wara tah, was . 14, 700 miles.

The highest price that has yet been paid for Victoria real estate Inside property not on a main business thoroughfare is recorded In a transfer to Lee Long & Brothers, a Chinese business house, of a fragment of a lot on Broad street owned by R. P. Clark, at the rate of $6000 a front foot. Lee Long & Brothers have just com pleted a new brick and concrete block occupying the corner of Broad and John son streets. After the last plasterer and painter had left, Mr. Clark discovered that the Chinese flrfn in building had overlapped his property by two . inches. Minutest and most careful measurements were made; surveyors employed by the Chinese confirmed the verdict. There was no question of the two-inch trespass being a fact. So Mr. Clark politely re quested his new neighbors to take their building off of his two inches. Negotia tions followed, as a result of which the Chinamen paid $1000 and costs and have a clear deed to the two inches of property.

The Oregon Christian Endeavor Union is held every two years and the report covered a complete record of two years of work.

TALKS on TEETH BY THE HEX DENTAL CO, DENTISTS Good Ethical Dentistry. Whatever may have been our previ ous conceptions, there is nothing ex pressed or implied in the code of ethics which prevents a dentist conducting his business on prof it-produriim- lines, so long as he conducts it on the square deal principle, "honor." The dentist Is free to educate his patients to the appreciation of gool dentistry. This mans that he may tell his patients what good dentistry is. and what it can do. This does not mean that he shall un duly aggrandize himself. Assuredly It does not mean that he should belittle another. Mere worldly wisdom would indicate that the dentist refrain from serf praise. It is an exhibition of weakness quickly perceived by others and never forgotten. It Intimates that a man cannot safely leave it to others to praise him for his work, but that he fears it will not be done unless he seizes the opportunity to do it for him self. The same form of wisdom shows the folly of belittling another or his work. Such a course reveals a mean soul. It declares plainly that as he would, take advantage of one who is not present to defend himself, so he would take advantage of the patient in those ways where the patient's knowledge is not sufficient to protect him. It labels the helittler as unworthy. This habit is a boomerang in the hands of him who practices it and it often returns to wreak damage on him who launched it. That wisdom which looks only to re sults shows the advisability of refrain ing from criticism of the absent dentist or of making some excuse for his lack of success. It is far better to say "There are now methods which permit success in this work," than to say "The chap who did that work did not know his business." It makes a more favorable impression If we are big enough to stand m our merits without taking from our own pedestal a stone to why at a fellow practitioner. We have and are running a crusade against poor dentistry, the dental parlor (bargain counter type) and we laud good work no matter by whom it is done.
