Damage Suit. FORGERY CHARGE FAILS Activity of Local Attorney Is Attrib uted to Jealousy and Malice. Jeffrey Dropped for Non-Pay ment of Dues Is Charge. ying to accusations of John A. a local attorney. M. G. O'Mal te manager of the Fraternal Vod, yesterday issued a state- Vkls own defense. He denies Ked an application with the hr. W. O. Manion, as charged ffrey. and attributes the lat- ity to Jealousy and malice, ler things, he says Mr. Jeff ' ropped from membership in for non-payment of dues. has filed suit in the State ourt for $15,000 damages Jeffrey for defamation of and in his statement reviews s follows: S nr..

In warned hlin that he must retract der or suitor the coneeQuences. It the mauer under discussion fully, I Limit of Patience Reached. ! have always had a strong aversion to Ins tho affairs of the society a matter publlo discux.7ion. My feelings In this rd are well known and my assailants In instance doubt lew harbored the delusion Ft 1 would submit to n this indiimltv her than nave recourse an action at law her Is always a limit, however, and it has t-n reached in this case. I cannot prevent unscrupulous persons from indulelnj; in false hoods at my expense, but I propose to do what I can to punish them for It. Anyone who has read the Jeffrey letter will agree, I am crura, that I have followed the only oourse that is open to one who has a jaw-abldinx regard for hU good name. I hav, perhaps, been unfortunate in incur ring the antagonism of these men. The ex planation f Jeffrey's hostility is simple. His law partner, who Is also his nephew. I he lleve. was an aspirant for treasurer of a local lodge. The supreme lodge refused him the appointment. . He tried to bold the position willy nllly. Tt then became necessary for me to replevin the books. Jeffrey took great umbrage at my action though I was working under orders direct from headquarters, and trucuienuy iniormea me that I would "never get the books this side of the Supreme Court." We did. however, get them, which was, of course, aauiuonaj injury to Jeffrey's feelings. As to Dr. Manion. He desired a position Which he did not get. Chleflv because I hnrw pened to be holding one similar to that de sired by hint. While professing friendship for me. he endeavored to foment dissatisfac tion and discord, and when he discovered that his actions were known to me he has ooms out openly as a slanderer. I nni aome weeks ago to have him prosecuted for iiusi. out me .ount- Attorney stated to me that the libel must be written, not '""' no aoctor na cautiously re frained from that. Jeffrey, howev.- jv.T leas relylag on my dislike, for ouhiioin, this sort, has thrown himself wide open. The courts will now determine the merits of the How unwarranted, how unfounded are. attacks on me will be apparent when It la r,;.,-u imu, nrst: .o rorgry was committed Second: That, while Dr. Manion n.iv. .. signed to a medical blank, it was rfon - lady organiser, who acknowlir4 . . , did so. both to Dr. Manion and myself, as ua ooupiea ner admission ce v with the statement that she had his approval of her action. This lady has since resigned. h has advised me that both JefTrey and Dr. Manion endeavored to gtt her to oome to Jeffrey 'a off ice and "clear" herself, by liv voWlng me, I presume. Ruction in Ixwie Ienled. Dr. Manion takes a slam at Mr. Wfloox ty saying that he was an unfit risk "because of bad family history. Yet Dr. Manion in an examination which he made of Wilcox at my request apparently certified that he -was a good risk for the reason that he was admitted on his certification and is now a member of the society, as you may see by this letter from the supreme secretary re garding his dues. For the benefit of those who are not fa miliar with fraternal Insurance X may say that it is not the policy of the society to re- quire state managers to writ applications. We have organisers for that work. It is the fluty of the state manager to protect the so ciety from imposition of any and every kind, see that the lodges conduct their business along constitutional .lines, engage organizers and see that value Is returned for money ex pended. The state manager s compensation does not depend in any manner or shape on the amount of business secured. The statement is made that there has been & ruction In one of the local lodges. That Is untrue. There Is no unpleasantness In the local situation, nor has there been, since Jeffrey was sur?pended for non-payment of dues. The affairs of the society are in a flourishing condition. The first of the year there were but three active lodges in the Port land jurisdiction. Today there are eight. On the 4th of June there was initiated a. class of 230 members, tho result of two months work. It was stated that in one of the local elec tions Mr. Down was my candidate. This Is untrue. The membership will bear testimony that I do not dabble In local elections. The law firm of Down & Behrrnan. of which Mr. Down Is & member, takes care of my legal business. I regard Mr. Down as a cultured, scholarly gentleman, but he was in no sense my candidate, for the very good reason that I have no candidates. Retraction Is Demanded. You will note that Jeffrey. In his letter attacking me, announced that he would withhold prosecution of me "for a week or ten days." to give the Executive Board time to remove me. "When I learned of his letter. I at once wrote the supreme lodge, urging that J e ffrey be requested to begin proceedings at once, and I likewise sent him a letter, of which the following is a copy. His premise to withhold action for a "week or ten days" was made June 13. My letter to him Is dated June SO. That "week or ten days" has grown to more than a month. He and his "client" were apparently quite satisfied to let the matter rest after their vile attempt to blacken me to gratify their private grudge and dlssappolnted ambition. My letter to Mr. Jeffrey follows: Portland, Or.. June 20. 1010. John A. Jeffrey, Lafayette Block, City Sir: I am informed that you have written a letter to Los Anseles in which you charge me with committing a forgery; that you state in your letter that I forged the name of Dr. Manion to the medical examination of one William Roy Wilcox. You are further quoted as saying that this particular doc ument was forged and written out In full by Mr. O'Malley. and that there can be no possible defense." You further state that you will "withhold prosecution for a few days to await the action of the execu tive board. 1 take this method of notifying you that unless you, within ten days make as full and sweeping retraction of your statements as were the charges that you made. I will swear to an information before the District Attorney, charging you with criminal libel. I will also give this letter and tho facts surrounding the Wilcox mattter to the press of the Mty and brand you as a scoundrel. In this matter you charge me with an offense to which another has confessed, not to one, but to a doien persons. Including your "client." You assert that this ex amination is written throughout In my handwriting, yet you have never seen a specimen of my penmanship, not even on an envelope. Redress Demuded By Iaw. You have taken this matter uo with the supreme lodge Instead of the .District At torney because your aim was to injure me in the hope of forcing my removal or my resignation. Your action was scandalous and malicious throughout, and I propose to secure such redress as the law accords. As an atorney, you know, or ought to know, that the act charged was not a forgery- You know, or could have learned, that the person responsible had acknowledged her act to your "client." You do not know my handwriting, yet you charge me with the authorship. You have been guilt v of wilful, deliberate, scandalous lie, and unless you make me such amends as remains in your power. I ill teach you that you are not now dealing with a man who "is afraid of his shadow." as yonr partner sneerlngly said of mv predecessor. It Is sv matter of Indifference to me whether you do or do not retract. I simply give you the oppor tunity. I trust it is unnecessary to remind you that there Is a civil side as well as a criminal side to this IlbeL Anrl. 4ikwiu there is a personal side. We will dispose of the first two before we discuss the third, unless you would have it otherwise.

INVESTIGATION STILL ON Deputy District Attorney Believes That if "Wrongful Operation Was Intended Charge of Man slaughter Would Stand. While at a temporary standstill In the Investigation of the death of Vera Hall, District Attorney Cameron, Dep uty Fitzgerald and Captain of De tectives Moore havenot remitted their efforts to g-et all the facts concerning the death of the grlrl. In this city Sun day afternoon. The District Attorney Is not yet satisfied that no criminal act has not been committed, and will pursue an investigation reaching to all those concerned. Dr J. J. Rosenberg, who' admits ad ministering chloroform to Vera Hall, from the effects of which she died, was taken Into custody by Sergeant Wan less, at the direction of Captain of De tectives Moore at a late hour Monday night, and while not locked up, was kept In custody until yesterday morn ing. The doctor was taken over his for mer statement again and adhered to It in all particulars, insisting that he administrated chloroform simply to ease the pain which he caused the girl in making an examination. He denied that an operation of any kind was per formed. He said that he was induced to spirit the body of the girl to Oregon City by the representatives of young Erlckson,. her sweetheart, and her mother. Girl's Condition Serious. An autopsy held yesterday at Oregon City revealed that no operation had been accomplished, but showed that there was occasion for one being de sired. Dr. E. A. Sommers was present representing the District Attorney of this county, and assisted in the autop sy, which was conducted by the Clack amas County Coroner. "While the autopsy failed to show that a criminal operation had been per formed," said Deputy District Attor ney Fitzgerald last night," "we are not yet satisfied that the Investigation should be dropped. If any criminal ac tion was in course of being performed and the girl died, I believe that a charge of manslaughter would stand." Clackamas Authorities Drop Case. The case is closed,, so far as the Clackamas County authorities are con cerned. The burial of the unfortunate girl will take place this morning, and the funeral will be held from the fam ily residence' In Oregon City at 10 o'clock. Chief of Police Burns, of Oregon City, yesterday received a request from Cap tain Moore, of Portland, to take Elmer Erlckson into custody. Burns passed the matter up to the SherifTs office, but as Erlckson was believed to be at the home of Mrs. Hall, in the city lim its of Oregon City. Sheriff Beatie put it up to the city police. In the mean time Dr. Rosenberg had been released, and the case against Erlckson was dropped. ESTIMATE 0F THE JEW HU Learning. Ability in Music, En durance and Home Life. In giving- him .his proper level in, the world's leadership. Amen to a square deal. My observation and studies of the Hebrews particularly inspired by Lecky, the histo rian, whose sanity as such awakens grate ful remembrance, lead to these words of appreciation : The Jewish race is called a pure stock, but there Is alloy in all purity. Perfect goodness comes only in spots. The Jewish people have intermingled with the blood of other races. But mixed or unmixed, the Jews have loved learning, and blockheads do not usually come from them. Their varied ability 1a not necessarily the product of their religion, for Disraeli and Spinoza, and others -eminent, while Hebrews in race have not been Jewish in religion. Great publicists such as Gambetta and Disraeli have sprung from them. In music Jews nave produced great composers, but in painting and sculpture they have not been so illustrious. Keep in mind, the Jews were not set apart from the world to shine In art. hut to stand for righteousness and the beauty of holiness. Art was taken up by Christianity in her Raphaels and An gel os. s.nd that art has been lavishly used in the construction of Christian churches. The cathedral evinces all this. It seems to me that the' Jews are greater to learn than to shine in polished deport ment, and hence they .do not readily take to the field of diplomacy In which so many able men are deficient. If the Jews are ever noticeably deficient in physical traits, the cause may 'be in their having been crowded into the centers of population and denied welcome in the rural places that pour their healthy -blood into our cities. Christianity needs to appreciate the fine en durance, the love of families and homes, the sagacity and the religious Instinct of the Jewish people, the miracle of time Uelf. B. J. HQ AD LEY. NORTH JETTY WANTED CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORKS FOR PROJECT. VIce-Chairman McLachlan, of Rivers and Harbors Comi&ittee, Is Asked to Talk on. Subject. In an effort to create sentiment for an appropriation - to build the north jetty at the mouth of the Columbia River, the Chamber of Commerce will invite Representative James McLachlan, of Pasadena, Cal., to deliver an address In this city in the early part of Sep tember. Representative Ellis, of the Second Congressional District, and others will speak on that occasion. The movement to secure an early ap propriation for this work is the imme diate outgrowth of the announcement by transportation companies that a steamship line between Panama and the Coast ports would be put In operation as soon as the necessary arrangements can be completed. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has Invited Mr. McLachlan to speak on the subject of harbor improvements for the Pacific Coast, and It is thought he can be Induced to divide . his time on the trip so as to include a visit to Portland. Mr. McLachlan is vice-chairman of the rivers and harbors commit tee of the Lower House, and has ex erted great influence In securing ap propriations for improvements in North Coast harbors. '. The construction of the north jetty has already been recommended by Major Mclndoe. the local United States engineer, and has been urged by Port land shippers as well. Band Concert Vill Be Given.

Deposed Friend, Jones, Meets Re fusal of Request to Be Trans ferred to Forest Service. louUi R. Glavis, late special agent of the Land Office In Oregon and Alaska, and Horace Tilford Jones, deposed friend of Glavis, have again encountered the Administration at "Washington. Glavis' expense account of $300, incurred while making his famous pilgrimage to Beverly, Mass., to lay the charges against Ballinger before the President, has been registered. Jones' application to be trans ferred to the Forest Service has been in definitely postponed. Secretary of Agri culture Wilson has said that he will not consider the Jones application until after the Congressional committee shall have made its report. The agents, of the Treasury Department have held that Glavis was not traveling on official business or even a mission that was in furtherance of the public good when he spent the money. Glavis is now engaged in the develop ment of his apple orchard at White Sal mon, while Jones is practicing law and aiding in the formation of conservation societies. His headquarters are in this city. Both of the men were particularly active in the investigation of the allega tions Involving the actions of the Secre tary of the Interior, Richard A. Ballinger, in connection with the Cunningham coal land claims in Alaska. Glavis was unceremoniously discharged by Mr. Ballinger soon after the charges became public, the President approving that action. Jones became involved In a personal dispute with Mr. Ballinger while Bal linger was testifying on the witness stand. Jones' took exception to statements made by the Secretary and arising in the audience declared them to be false. Later Jones was asked to resign. He re tains his right to reinstatement and transfer for one year following the filing of his resignation. I7NTVERS1TY PARK. Or.. Julv IS. (To I the Editor.)

Those men tioned for the place are Councllmen Annand. Belding and Menefee, but it Is believed that Belding has the lead. He has never served as president, while Annand has. Menefee has never had the honor as yet, and It was thought for a long time that he would be elected, but his strength did not develop sufficiently at the last meeting and the Council post poned action until today. Councilman Annand's proposed ordi nance prohibiting the carrying of boy cott banners will be up for action also. It is believed there will be a strong fight on this, as the labor union representa tives are preparing to put up a battle against its passage.
