M. 0. WILKINS IS REBUKED Embargo Placed on System of Solici tation In Prison, Which Often Re sulted In Police Court Prac titioners Mulcting Offenders. Application of the rnle In Municipal Court that no prisoner In confinement can employ counsel without the ap proval of tne court was made In a no table manner yesterday In the case of Arthur M. Rice, held on charges of forging- two checks. When Attorney M. O. Wllklns sought to appear for the man. his appearance was refused and Judge Tazwell appointed John C McCue to defend the caBe. When court first opened Wllkins asked for a continuance and JudKe Tax well asked him how he had come to be employed, the prisoner having been locked up all the time since the arrest. Wllkins admitted that he had reached the man through the offices of a po liceman, but said further that be had been authorized by relatives to take up the case. He was then informed that the court would not hear him. but would appoint an attorney of its own election. Later on Mr. McCue ad dressed the court on behalf of Rice and procured a continuance until today. Months of striving to break up a sys tern of "running" for certain lawyers. carried on inside the jail by trusty prisoners, and, it is alleged, by police men. resolved itself recently into a rule of the court forbidding prisoners In confinement to make their own terms . wltb lawyera The court allows that the rule Is not impregnable, but relies for its enxorcement upon the tact that most of the cases struck at are of a kind that will not bear the light of day and that therefore the lawyers whose prac tices have been broken up will submit rather than make a fight. Judge Taz well says that he will resist mandamus proceedings before he will abandon the rule. As worked out at present, the sys tem Is that the Judge, before assuming the bench each morning, goes into the prisoners box and Inquires what de fendants are without counsel and wish to have It. If they have personal pref erences which are found not to be the result of solicitation by lawyers' run ners, their choice is allowed; other wise the court names an attorney of his own selection. Since the rule has been enforced there have been fewer of the scandal ous cases which formerly arose. In which it was often discovered that prisoner had been prevailed upon by fellow prisoners to send for a certai lawyer, turn over to him all his effects and then, perhaps, find that he re quired no attorney, either on account of the hopelssness of his case or be cause there was no case against him. Certain police court lawyers who ylr- tually made office at the city Jail are seldom seen there and the number of cases contested on frivolous or fabri cated grounds has greatly decreased. PACIFIC HIGHWAY TALKED Frank B. Riley Addresses Engineer ing Society at Irancbeon. Frank B. Riley, state vice-president of the Pacific Highway Association, was the principal speaker at the regu lar weekly luncheon of the Portland Engineering and Architectural Society at the Portland Hotel at noon yester day. Mr. Riley spoke enthusiastically on the necessity of building the great international highway through this state as early as possible. He gave his hearers a lot of useful information on this Important subject. Many of them who had had no previous interest in the Pacific highway left the gather ing determined to aid actively in the campaign to make the proposed road an early reality. w. H. R. Wakeman, president of the local chapter of the American Society of Electrfral Engineers, presided. The next weekly luncheon will be held next Tuesday. Tomorrow night the regular quarter ly meeting of the society will be held at the Imperial Hotel. A variety 01 interesting subjects will be discussed.

LAST LAP OUTLINED Suffragists Discuss Work for Final Month. LIVELY FINISH IS IN SIGHT Street Speeches, Tonnean Talks, Snf. frage Sunday, Debates and Noon day Factory Steetlngs in Windnp of Campaign. Primaries Cost $1660. VANCOUVER Wash.. Oct. 8. (Spe cial.) The cost of holding the recent county primaries on September 10 was approximately J1660. The County Com missioners met today and are going over the bills for the month. What has been accomplished in the past, and mors especially in the last month, coupled with the plans formu lated for the final month of the cam paign for equal suffrage, were the main topics unfolded in the address of the president. Miss Emma Wold, at the general meeting of the College Equal Suffrage League yesterday af ternoon in the Journal building. Mrs. Sara Bard Field Ehrgott, but recently returned from an organization tour of the counties, and "who is to leave again today, gave details of her trip and of the encouraging reports she had ceived on all sides. So also did Mrs. E. E. Griffith, of Columbia County. Miss Wold laid stress on the need for the hearty co-operation of all the suffragists throughout the state. She detailed the work that had been done recently by the workers of the organ! zation. Miss Griffith had Just returned from Columbia County, while Mrs. Ehrgott had been covering Hood River and many other places. Miss Wold announced that the latter leaves today for Forest Grove, whence she will go to Yamhill, and the week afterwards to Lane County. In the large counties in the state which are not densely populated the inhabitants will be reached by the newspapers. Another method by which the voters had been reached. In the majority of cases with -great effect was the main tenance of booths at the county fairs. From these literature and information were given out and speeches made. With the object of reaching every voter in Portland efforts must be made, said Miss Wold, in every .conceivable way. Street speeches, a Suffrage Sun day, noonday meetings, talks from au tomobiles, and debates, one of 'which had been arranged to be held In the new Lincoln High School with Wallace McCamant as. the opposer, are la the final plana Praise for the press, information about the amount of literature sent out, and other data were given before the speaker advocated the use of billboard advertising till the close of the cam paign. A serious problem confronting not only them, but all suffrage organiza tions, was the monetary side. They were badly In need of subscriptions, and ways of raising money were du cussed. At the conclusion of the presi dent's address MJss Griffith gave de tails of her organization work In Co. lumbla County. She gave instances of the objections she met with, the type of objections most common, and the an' swers she had found most fitted to in dividual cases. Mrs. Ehrgott told of the towns and villages visited by her in her trip through Eastern Oregon. She gave details as to the number of members in every club, of the new clubs she had formed or helped to organize, and of a feeling of hopefulness all over Eastern Oregon that suffrage would carry. Mrs. A. C. Newlll, the president of the precinct workers and also of th Civlo Progress Circles, asked for fur ther help and more workers for her precinct work, which, from Its can vasslng, provided a true line as to the opinions of the women in the city. SUFFRAGE SPELLBIXMLRS OCT Men and Women Speakers Start on Final Campaign Tour. Many local men and women have been leaving town recently to work in the campaign for equal suffrage. Among those to go within the next few days are: Dr. A. A. Morrison, who will speak at the Prineville County Fair: C. E. S. Wood, who goes with him: Mrs. L. W. Therkelsen and Mrs. Olive Stott Gabriel, who are going out tomorrow on an organization tour. The county fair at Prineville is fixed for October IS to 19. A suffrage booth has been erected on the fairgrounds, from which literature will be dis tributed and information given to all attending the fair. On the previous day, October 15, William Hanley, C. E. S. Wood and Dr. A. A. Morrison will give the prln cipal speeches-at a meeting when be tween 2000 and 3000 are expected to be present. Mra Margaret M. Sharp Is energetically working for the success of the meeting. Last night in the Pendleton Hotel there was given a large suffrage luncheon similar to the one given here recently at the Portland Hotel, in that it was a "political" affair. Governor Hay, of Washington, and Oovernor West, of Oregon, were among the In vited guests. One speaker from each political organization was heard, and Mra Edyth T. Weatherred, who has been doing such good organization work In Umatilla County.' was also a guest and speaker. A rally of all the suffrage societies or the county Is planned for next Sat urday under the direction of Dr. J. P. Tamleste at Hlllsboro at the opera- house. Colonel Robert Miller and Mrs Olive Stott Gabriel will speak and Mrs. Helen Miller Senn will give an interesting and humorous recitation. Tomorrow evening there will be an other street meeting, on the corner of Sixth and Alder, with an address from an automobile the same night In South Portland. Mra Gabriel, who leaves with Mra Therkelsen tomorrow, is an Oregon woman who has lived the last 19 years in New York. There she is associate editor of the Woman Lawyers' Journal and vice-president of the William Lioyd Garrison Equal Suffrage League. WOODGHAKTERwIN Judqe Morrow Orders Draft Submitted to Voters. LORD'S LAW IN CONTROL Decision Coincides With Contentions of O. E. S. Wood and E. S. J. Mc Allister, Who Argued Council man Maguire's Side of Case. The Wood short charter for a com mission form of government will be on the ballot In competition with the official draft at the special city elec tion. November 2. Circuit Judge Mor row yesterday morning issued a writ of mandamus directing City Auditor Barbur to submit It for consideration of the voters. Application for the writ was made by councilman Magulre following the refusal of the City Coun7 ell. by a vote of 9 to 3, at a special meeting last week to submit the Wood charter. Argument was hearo batur day. 'It would seem, and I decide, said the Judge, in a written opinion, "that whenever a proposted amendment is to be submitted to popular vote, it must be at the next coming election, as provided In section 8482 of Lord's Oregon Laws, and "that If there Is an other amendment to the charter it also must be submitted at the next election, and Just as many other amendments must be submitted as there are on the table for consideration. All this unless section zz oi tne city charter is controlling,- in which case the matter is to oe aeterrmnea absolutely by the City council. In view of the fact that section 22 was enacted long prior to the time that the risrht of amendment by Initiative was conferred, I hold that It does not ap ply to charter amendments and that the City tjouncii aoes noi aetermine what charter amendment snail be voted on. but that the voting on charter amendments is determined Dy section 3482 of Lord's Oregon Laws, the Mc- Xary ordinance not having specifically covered that subject." The decision is entlrelr In line with the contentions of C. E. S. Wood and J. McAllister, who argued Coun cilman Maguire's Bide of the case. Their position was that the failure of the Ho ary ordinance, tne measure putting the Initiative and referendum into operation in Portland, to specify when and how Initiative measures should be submitted to the voters leaves the state laws in control. 1 scarcely believe there is any use holding a special election at a cost of about 117,000, since the court has or dered the Wood charter on th ballot," said Mayor Rushlight. "I do not be lieve that either charter can be car ried. I do not think, however, that I will make any recommendations to the Council on the subject." City Attorney Grant does not agree with Judge Morrow's ruling, and may ask the Council this morning for per mission to appeal from the decision. Clackamas School Fund Fixed. OREGON CITY, Or., Oct 8. (Spe cial.) County School Superintendent Gary today fixed the school fund for the first half of the year and will send the vouchers to the clerks of the va rious district tomorrow. The pro rata of the state tax this year is cents less for each pupil than It was last year, the amount for each pupil this year being 11.88. The county fund, however, is larger, making a larger total. The law provides that the apportionment the first half shall be made the first Monday in October and the last one in April.
