TRIAL MAY LAST WEEK A. J- Biehl and H. IT. Humphrey Are Charged on Five Counts In Connection With Project in Grant County, Wash. After counsel for the deense has made 1U opening- adress to the Jury this morning; the Government will call its first witness in the criminal prose cution of A. J. Biehl and H. H. Hum phrey, officers of the Columbia River Orchard Company, who are on trial be fore l"nltl States Judge Bean in the Federal Court for alleged misuse of the malls in disposing of about ll.OUO.uuu of bonds of questionable value. The Jury was completed late yester day and United States Attorney ac Court bad Just finished his opening statement when court adjourned until 9:30 o'clock this morning. Addressing the Jury. Mr. McCourt ex plained that the indictment on which the accused were being tried contained five counts, each alleging the mailing by the defendants of a particular letter exploiting their enterprise. He said the defendants and some associates originally organized the Columbia River Orchard Company for the pur pose of developing a project represent ed by them to consist of approximately 14.000 acres In Grant County. Wash incrton. when as a matter of fact they actually owned not to exceed 300 acres. Allegalloa Are Cited. The Government. Mr McCourt said, would prove that later the defendants organized the Washington Irrigation t Fruit Company, a sort of subsidiary corporation with no more rights than those of the parent company. Later, said Mr. McCourt. the Oregon & Wash Jngton Trust Company was formed by the same parties, merely to certify to the securities of the other companies and to promote the alleged fraud. On all of the lands held by the Columbia River Orchard Company, es timated to be worth $150,000. Mr. Mc Court asserted that the promoters un dertook to and did float the major part of a bond issue of J3.i00.000. which was represented to be secured by mortgages and other securities. The bonds, the prosecutor declared, were traded for money and property on a basis ranging from 20 cents on $100 to whatever the salesman was able to obtain. Mr. McCourt alleged that various subsidiary corporations of the- parent company. Including the Washington & Oregon Trust Company, of this city, at no lime had a bank account, saying that'he subsidiary corporations were maintained solely for the purpose of giving the project the appearance of substantiality. Land. Declared Worth lens. The lands proposed to be Irrigated with the proceeds of the bond sale, said Mr. McCourt. were worthless and In some Instances about 400 feet above the krvfl of the Irrigation ditches. Pome of the bonds, he declared, were sold for less than the actual cost of printing. The prosecutor cited an instance in wbicb be said a Gilliam County farmer waa fleeced out of about 4400 acres of land, of the approximate value of $50.- 000, through the operations of the ac cused men, who used the mails exten sively in promoting1 their scheme. Originally the indictment named five defendants. Messrs. Blehl and Hum phrey. W. E. DeLarm. George C. Hodges and R. H. MacWhorter.. DeLarm, sup posed to be the principal in the alleged swindle, is said to be dead; Hodges es cared to Canada before he could be ar rested and MacWhorter has pleaded guilty to his part in the company's op erations. This leaves only Biehl and Humphrey to be tried. The Government has subpenaed 90 witnesses and It is inspected that Macv hortcr will be one of tbe principal witnesses for the pros ecution, although Mr. McCourt refuses to say that the confessed man will be called at all. Jary la Selected. The case will be stubbornly fought, the defendants having retained H. S. Wilson, Jay Bowerman and . T. Hume as their attorneys. District At torney McCourt will conduct the prose cution and the trial of the case may consume a week. The jury had supposedly been com pleted and sworn late yesterday after noon, when K. J. Sada'ntz. of 497 Mar ket street. Informed Judge Bean that he had not obtained his final citizen ship papers. This disqualified him from sitting on the case and the Jury box was filled with Grant Michels. In the selection of tbe jury tbe de fense exercised nine of Its ten per emptory challenges, while the Govern ment used only one of the three chal lenges to which it was entitled. The 12 men who will decide the case are O. D. Bloom. .T. S. Thomas. . H. Mack, John Grimm. Grant Michels, E. Schmeer, W. K. Olsen. H. .1. Autlo. Robert Munson. W. F. Wakefield. M. P. Young and T. J.

' RATE RAISE IS FOUGHT Clarke-Woodward 4'onijany Regis ters Compliment.-: SALLM. Or.. Dec. :;. (Spcc.aU Claim is made ty tito Clarke-Woodward LAND-FRAUD CAS Drug- Company of Portland that the American District Telegraph Company has raised its rates for that building some SO per cent, or from $10 to $15 a month. This, the company claims, is unwarranted, as no extra service Is given. Tbe new Malarkey public utilities bill provides that no rates shall be raised by public utilities after January 1, 1911. without authority from the Railroad Commission. The Railroad Commission also re ceived a complaint today from O. M. Baley, of Parkdale, against the Mount Hood Railroad Company. He asserts that class rates on less than carload lots between Parkdale and Hood River are prohibitive and that freight can be handled cheaper by wagon. He also declares that the road does not allow residents of tbe upper valley to com pete with points further away. It Is further declared that the passenger service Is not adequate or reasonable. Another complaint was filed by George T. Ledgerwood against the Oregon Trunk, Deschutes and O.-W: R. & X. Railroads as to the cost of ship ping grain from Culver to Portland, stating- that the cost is ISM cents a hundred weight, which, he charges. Is unreasonable, unjust and discriminatory. CRITICISM IS HELD JUST V. BEACH FAVORS AGRICULTURAL- INSTRUCTION'. Member or Board of Education Is for Teaching Soil Knowledge In High Schools. J. V. Beach, of the Board of Educa tion.' yesterday admitted that the criticism by the Department of Agri culture directed at the Portland public schools for the lack of attention to agricultural education was deserved. He declared himself strongly in lavor of Introducing the study of agriculture and horticulture among the pupils of the schools, particularly the high schools. Just as soon as facilities will Dermit. "The criticism by tne Department oi Agriculture was by no means unde served." said Mr. Beach. "Agricultural education should be introduced in our public school system and made a -per manent feature. Just as soon as tne district can provide another high school It is the purpose of the Board to pro vide for thorough course of instruction In agriculture and horticulture for tne benefit of all high school students. But until we get another school, the pro posed course cannot be introduced as it should be." M. G. Munly, another member of the Board, regarded the criticism a little severe, since the members of the Board were doing everything within their power and with the limited facilities at hand. He took exception to that part of the censure which intimated that the subject of agricultural educa tion was being entirely disregarded In the Portland schools. In that respect the criticism is without foundation," said Mr. Munly. Througii an association that has been formed independent of the management! of. the schools, we have given every encouragement to the movement that has for Its purpose educating the young people along agricultural and horticultural lines. At tbe request of the Board the principals and teachers have co-operated with the officers of this association by giving one or two hours twice a week to the study of soil and plant life. "We have not progressed as far in hat direction, I admit, as I should like to see and that is probably the rea son for the criticism by the department at Washington. Certainly, the Board of Education Is not opposed to agri cultural education In the public schools. On the other hand, we have always co-operated earnestly to ex tend the scope of the work as it is now .conducted." TURKEY EATEN FIRST TIME Lad of 13 Surely Enjoys Feast at Frazer Home," as Po 26 Others. "That's the first time I ever tasted turkey," said a 13-year-old boy at the Frazer Home, 21 East Fifty-second street North, when he had received his helping at the bounteous Christmas dinner for the children of the Institu tion, now 27 in number, ranging in ago from 6 to 16. He has been at the home but a short time and came from the East less than a year ago. An 8-year-old boy had never seen a Christmas tree before, and another lad about the same age said, "I've seen 'em before, but this is the first time I ever got a present offen one." The children had a happy time yes terday with their new toys and games, the gifts of friends of the institution. They also had a hold-over supply of nuts and candles, for Christmas morn ing found not only all the stockings filled, but a sufficient surplus for sev eral days of gastronomic bliss. Gymnasium equipment will be pur chased with iZl which came with the other gifts. Superintendent Baker says that it was the merriest Christmas that his charges have ever had, and that it was made so by the generosity of those who remember how dear to the heart of childhood are the things which come. or which should come, at Christmas'. GOVERNOR DRAFTING BILL Measure Would Have Penitentiary Officer Go After Convicts. SALEM. Or., Dec. 26. (Special.) Governor West is now drafting a ten tative bill providing for "transportation of convicts to the prison in the same manner that insane patients are now transported to the State Insane Asy lum. It waa formerly the practice for insane patients to be taken to the asy lum by the Hherlffs of the respective counties as it is now the practice to take prisoners. A report of Superintendent Stelner shows that the new method of trans porting patients by sending out special traveling attendants has effected a saving of practically 60 per cent. It is believed that a similar method in stalled at the prison would result In a like saing. MRS. GOLDMAN IS BRIDE Max Wolf, Wealthy San Franciscan, Claims Portland AVoman.

"x OPPOSITION IS ANTICIPATED Lanrelhurst Residents Will Petition Board to Pnrcliaso 5-.cre Site for School There, Declar ing Necessity Exists. Taxpayers of School District No. 1, at their annual meeting in the Lincoln li ttn School Auditorium tnniirht trill be asked to approve the recommenda tions of the Board of Education for a tax levy of S.5 mills and a bend issue of SI. 000.000. Thfi nronosed lew Is half a mill less tfian that for the year 1912 and with the bond issue that Is recommended will provide adequate funds for conducting the schools of the city for another year. The tax levy will produce approxi mately 12,566,000 and is designed to meet the cost of maintenance and at the same time take caret of the small but needed improvements. With the proceeds of the "bond Issue that-has1 been recommended, the board desires I to provide a new high school in the southeastern section of the city at an estimated cost of 1400,000; a new trades school, for which a site already has been purchased, $200,000; a new fire proof Couch building, including pur- cnase or a site. 1320,000. and additional grounds for the present Washington Hign school. It Is not likely that the recommenda tions of the board will be approved without more or less discussion. One element of taxpayers in the district un qualifiedly opposes the issuance of more bonds and is expected to demand at tonlKht s meetine- that if thn 11. nun 000 asked by the board In a bond Issue Is Indispensable to the needs of the schools, the money be raised by direct taxation even if that course requires an increase In the levy of 5.5 mills. Besides, a delegation of patrons from Laurelhurst will attend tonight's meet ing and insist that this section of the city be given a school building. It Is charged . that, as the school facilities of the city are now arranged, the ma jority of the pupils In that community are required to walk two and one-half miles to school A plat has been pre pared showing the location with re spect to surrounding schools and the board will be urged to make the pur chase of a tract of five acres as preliminary step toward furnishing that section wltn a school building-. Tonight's meeting Is open to all tax payers of the district. It will be con vened promptly at 8 o'clock.
