TWO JURORS CHALLENGED Attorney Fulton Refers to Old Fo litlcal Keud la Questioning Pros pective Juror Government Presents Evidence. More than one year after an Indict ment was found against him Jn the United States restrict Court. J. w. Scriber, of La Grande, and formerly a resident at Salem, yesterday faced trial. The Eastern Oregon financier is licensed of having misappropriated the funds of the Farmers & Traders Na tional Bank, of which he was cashier, forcing that institution to fail in the Kail of 1908. .Scriber stood with folded arms while District Attorney McCourt read four in dictments containing 27 counts, cover ing Individual instances where the ex bank official is charged with miscon duct of the affairs of the bank. As they were concluded. Attorney Charles W. Kulton entered a general plea of not guilty, and requested that the Govern ment elect upon which of the several crimes charged It would ask a convic tion. Under a ruling of the court, the pros ecution was allowed to place its evi dence before the jury prior to making a choice, and the questioning of Jurors as to their competence to sit in the case, begun. Only once during the long afternoon was an interrogation directed which may Indicate that the old feud between the defendant and J. M. Church, leader of an opposition bank and another po litical faction at La Grande, will be aired in the hearing. Senator Fulton asked Juror S. A. Dawson, of Albany, 1 as to nis connection with Church. ' Vor the. most part the attorneys con fined themselves to securing men who knew nothing of the case, were not connected in any way with banking In terests and, in particular, those who had not lost money through deposits in banks which had been forced to close their doors through mismanage ment of officials. Before the close of the afternoon ses sion, the defense had exercised two of its 10 peremptory challenges'. The Gov- , ernment is confined to three such ehal- , 'enges and Is holding them back as a unsure 01 precaution. The first iuror challenged by At torney Kulton was Thomas Glaze, a horticulturist of Benton County, and who came from Kansas 20 years ago. Soon after his arrival, Mr. Glaze be came a creditor of the Linn County Na tional Bank during a liquidation period, and although the Juror informed the court that the Institution had paid in full, the attorneys for the defense were suspicious that the experience might have left a tinge of bitterness in the mind of the gray-haired fruitgrower. The Government refusing to order any juror from the box, the defense ex cused A. L. Hagey. a farmer of Yam hill County, who pleaded guilty to own ing stock in the First National Bank of Newberg. The following named Jurors were in the box at adjournment: J. W. Harri ett, of Salem, a farmer who has known the Scriber family 20 years: S. R, Hardman, a farmer near Lebanon. Linn County; A. J. Hall, of Buena Vista; G. Patty, farmer of Yamhill County; A. J. Price, cattle grower and farmer of King Valley; William Beard, horticulturist of Clackamas County, who was "stung" In the failures of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank and the Title Guarantee & Trust Company, and who still possesses a block of tele phone stock in lieu of Interest on his accounts: Albert Johnson, East Side grocer; Carl E. Fisher, lumber mill op erator at Springfield. Lane County; Kred Erickson. weaver at Oregon City; Albert Shriber, now engaged in farm ing in Benton County; W. L Delano, of Eugene, and a director of the local Savings & Loan Company: S. A. -Dawson, retired farmer at Albany. With a total of 11 challenges to be exercised it is probable that the per sonnel of the jury will he materially changed before the men are sworn to try the case. When the doors of the Farmers & Traders National Bank closed in 1908, and Claude Gatch. Bank Examiner, as sumed charge of its assets, he dis covered a shortage of between $125. 000 and $150,000. He was unable also to locate $12,500 in currency which should have been in the vaults. The Government will this morning announce that it will endeavor to Drove that Scriber first became . involved in attempting to float the indebtedness of a Sumpter bank, of which his nephew, Roy Miller, was cashier. At that time Scriber was promoting a number of land deals In Eastern Ore gon. The land speculation failed, and involved the cashier of the Farmers & Traders National Bank. About that time, Scriber will be accused of at tempting to line up a large portion of Eastern Oregon in the interests of the Mitchell faction of Republican poli tics, as well as indulging in a campaign against an opposition bank. With all these interests to finance, Scriber Is charged with having at tempted to cover up the use of money belonging to the bank by the issuance of forged notes, many of which were entered upon the books of his bank as collateral. Such a note, sold to a neighboring bank,- and which Scriber forgot to redeem when it came due, will be pointed out as the means of the ex posure of his financial embarrassment. In the indictments, Scriber is charged with embezzlement, making false entries, misrepresenting facts to the controller and paying money of the bank on notes which he knew to be false. Attorney McMahon, of Salem, is as sisting the defense. LEE RESOLUTION DROPPED Washington County Veterans Avoid Acrimonious Discussion. FOREST GROVE, Or., May 9. (Spe cial.) In the fear that an acrimonous discussion would ensue, the motion in troduced at the semi-annual meeting of the Washington County Veterans' As sociation at Cornelius, in which it was stated that the sense of the associa tion was that the statue of Robert E. Lee and that of other Confederate of ficers should not be erected in the Hall of Fame at Washington, X. C, was withdrawn. The semi-annual meeting was the largest In attendance in the history of the organization. Colonel McNutt, of Cornelius, was appointed to make ar rangements for the presentation of a flag to the Cornelius public school. Lebanon Invites Governor. SALEM, Or.. May 9. (Special.) Governor Benson has received an in vitation to attend and deliver an ad dress at the Strawberry Festival at Lebanon on June 2. 3 and 4. The Ex ecutive probably will be able to at tend unless something unforeseen oc curs in the meantime. 300 TO SEEK SINNERS KAST SIDE WILL- BE CANVASSED FOR REVIVAL RECRCITS. Evangelist Vrges People to Xeglect Dinners, "Washings" and Social Calls to Aid In Work. Three hundred men and women will start out this afternoon to visit every home on the East Side between the Wil lamette River and Montavllla and from Sellwood to North Albina, to invite the families to attend the revival meetings being held in Hawthorne Park Taber nacle, under the direction of 30 East Side churches. Rev. H. C. Hart, evangelist in charge, in his afternoon talk yesterday put special emphasis on this canvass and called for volunteers to do the work. He extended the same invitation at the general meeting last night. Each of the canvassers will have printed invita tions and the territory has been di vided into districts for more thorough work. The workers in the central dis trict will assemble at the tabernacle this morning at 9 o'clock and for the outside district at the same time, the entire day being devoted to the can vass. Rev. Mr. Hart In his afternoon talk spoke mainly on "Personal Work and How to Do It." He said: "Nothing less than a physician's certificate of ill health or an undertaker's certificate ought to keep anybody out of the can vass tomorrow. We want the sinners to know that these meetings are in progress and that they are welcome. We have been having Christian mem bers at these meetings, but now we want the sinners and the ministers and Christians will take a back seat. "Neglect everything and get busy for God in this canvass. Let the dinner go and cut out the washing for one day. If anybody wants to call upon you call them ' by telephone and tell them you are busy in God's business and won't be at home. Women of the church work to pay off the debts and now can do work for the Lord. . If you have the rheumatism a little walking might cure it. "The text of my afternoon talk i He That Wins Souls Is Wise.' Most people are engaged in gathering wealtii t or political honors, and the society people are winning social honors, but they are not wise. To win souls you must be enthusiastic. No man ever ac complished anything without being filled with enthusiasm. The pioneers who came across the weary marches of the plains were filled with en thusiasm and overcame obstacles to reach the West. Young men must meet and overcome obstacles. Bradstreet says that 92 per cent of the successful business men have failed some time, but they never gave up and now we have the greatest financial institutions In the world. "I have no use for a conservative church. When I find a conservative church, afraid that something is going to happen, I thrnk that a charge of dynamite would be a good thing to stir it up. Why do you want to be con servative, anyway? The command is 'go!' It Is not a question of failure. You must do personal work. You must be aggressive. "Some church, members are merely sponges. They don't do anything to help the cause of Christ, but are hind rances. We want the hoys and girls at these meetings. They are not too young to be Christians. You must be prepared to go down the aisles and ask people to come to Christ." Last night the subject was along the line of personal worc, but tonight Rev. Mr. Magann will start on special talks to the general public and his subject will be "Hell." ' The attendance has been increasing so rapidly that it has been found neces-' sary to provide more seats. Sunday night several hundred were turned away from the tabernacle. Rev. Mr. Magann, leader of the choir, yesterday began drilling a choir of boys and girls to sing next Friday night. About 150 children were present to take part. Chicago Party Coming. On an inspection tour of Pacific SMITH- "WANTS PRESSED VEAL A N I PORK, We want dressed veal and pork and live chickens.
