SUNDAY OHEGOMAX PORTLAND, JTTXE 28, 1908. ' ' Sold l For 50 theD IN DETAILS NOT YET ADOPTED Cnless Another' Chapter ot Long Le gal Fight Is Begun by Heirs, Large Estate Will Soon I5c Available. Within the next year it is expected that the Reed Institute will stand on the urge of realization and that all prelimi paues will have been cleared away so that the actual work of building con struction may be taken up. This expec tation is held by the trustees and those in whose hands the late Amanda W. Seed left the bulk of her big fortune for the puvposo of effecting the establish ment of an institute of technical and special learning. Filing of articles of incorporation with :he County Clerk's office yesterday gave leiinite form to the new institution of '.earning. These articles establish the project in corporate form and will tend to be of benefit In clearing away the net work of lltigatidn and administrative problems that have, surrounded the estate lime the will of Mrs. Reed was made known. Much Preliminary Work. The articles merely make the way for the laying of plans. No definite plans as to the courses of study and the hundred ind one other details have yet been for mulated. All such subjects will be taken up hereafter by the trustees and passed upon in due time. It is not in the least txpected thur anything can be accom plished towards actual realization of the Keed Institute this year. In the articles of incorporation the jame cited is "The Reed Institute." The trustees appear as incorporators. C. A. Oolph. C. K. Wofverton, T. L. Eliot, Mar gin Winch and W. P. Olds. The dura tion is given as unlimited. The purposes re set forth as follows: "To establish and maintain at Port nnd an institution of learning wherein lhall be 'taught the principles of scien tific, literary and classical education, with such departments of learning, gal leries of art. natural and technical mu leums, appliances of manual training and luch other departments and appliances s the trustees may prescribe. ' Alms of School. "To promote intellectual and moral cul ture, the development of the fine arts and the diffusion of practical knowledge among the citizens of Portland and State )f Oregon and especially deserving young men and women earning their own live lihood." It is prescribed that the Institute .nay take over, manage and invest property bequeathed by Mrs. Reed and may receive gifts or bequests from Dther persons. Property having an estimated value of $1,000,000 is available to the insti tute. Its source of income will be the proceeds from the residuary estate, to gether with gifts and such moderate rates of tuition as may be Imposed by the trustees or incorporators. A pro vision is set out that no trustee may receive any compensation for his services. Dr. Eliot is chairman of the board of trustees, and Mr. Winch sec retary. These offices, it is provided, are to be filled by election on the third Tuesday in June of each year. Plans Delayed by Heirs. It was learned that much remains to be effected before building plans can be gone ahead with. As will be generally recalled, the estate has been beset by litigation of a most persistent nature by heirs seeking portions of the estate. Although Mrs. Reed lived for years in Portland and was looked upon as essentially a Portland woman, her death occurred in California, where she had fitted up an elaborate residence. Under the California laws, the large bequest for the Reed Insti tute was not valid, and the question was raised as to Mrs. Reed's actual place of residence at her death in 1904. The case was tried in the County Court, the State Circuit Court, and was carried to the Supreme Court of Oregon. Litigation likewise oc curred in California, but the heirs who sought to break the will and share more fully In the estate lost. Administration of the estate has progressed favorably. Recently appli cation was made by Mr. Winch, as ad ministrator, for an order authorizing payment of the various bequests, and the consequent transference of the re siduary estate to the Reed Institute trustees. Wish or Mrs. Reed. It was Mrs. Reed's expressed wish that there should be a corporation, but such action was not possible in the past, on account ot an old Oregon law making it impossible for a relig ious or educational corporation to hold property In excess of $500,000. This section of the code was repealed by the 1907 Legislature under a bill introduced by Senator Dan J. Malar key. Just whether there is to be any fur ther litigation Is a question which, of course, cannot be settled. As to what demands will be made by heirs on final settlement, nothing can be said. Diffi culties may arise in the final settle ment which will further delav the benevolent project. although "it is hoped not by the trustees. After all the little problems of the estate have been solved and all dis sensions eliminated, the paying oft of the heirs and persons named in the will can be .disposed of. thus making the residuary estate available. At that time, the. Reed Institute will en ter Into the Oregon educational world as an important actuality. CONVICTED JM A BARTER Hyde and Schneider Accuse Jury of Gross Misconduct. WASHINGTON. June 27. Misconduct of thejury after the case was submitted to it. amounting to a barter of the liberty of Frederick A. Hyde and Joost H. Schneider, of San Francisco, to effect an agreement upon a verdict, is alleged by Hyde and Schneider, recently convicted of conspiracy to defraud the Government of public lands, as an additional assign ment of reasons for a new trial. This supplemental reason, made public In the criminal court today, charges that the verdict was the result of r. agree ment among the Jurors that if some of their number who held a different view would agree to convict the two men, other Jurors would vote to acquit Benson and Dirrond. The defendants say that jurors who PAINLESS DENTISTRY 0Zj0&0 TEETH NERVOUS PEOPLE and those afflicted with heart weakness can have their teeth extracted and filled Without any pain or bad results.

Attached to the motions are affida vits of the attorneys, A. S. Worthing ton and R. G. Donaldson, counsel for the defendants, that their belief that the barter was made is based on Infor mation received from two of the Jurors, and that they are making further ef fort to secure affidavits of the other members of the Jury as to what trans pired during the jury's deliberations. The arguments on the motions will be heard October 9. SPEND $35,11 AT DENVER NEBRASKA BRYAN' BOOMERS AVILIj DO THINGS IX STLYE. Four Special Trains to Carry Sup porters of State's Candidate to Convention City. OMAHA. Neb.. June 21. "Whatever may be said of W. J. Bryan's Nebraska sup porters before and after the Denver con vention; whatever criticisms or plaudits may be meted out to their leader and his policies, none shall be able to say after the National gathering that Nebraska Democrats did not do them selves proud in making their presence known by the wide-open hospitality ex tended to the delegates and their friends while they are present in the convention city. It will be the third time Nebraska has been called upon to show the stuff it is made of, and, without mincing words, National Committeeman Dahlman "Our Jim," declares that the thousand odd delegates and a similar number of alternates who go to Denver will be shown how the democracy of Bryan's home state appreciates the support they have given the man who began his poli tical career as the "silver-tongued orator of the Platte" and hopes to conclude it with a term in the White House. . The 16 Nebraska delegates will form but a small integral part of the im mense crowd of Bryan enthusiasts who will go to Denver, and Dahlman admits that not less than $.'5,000 will be spent by the' Democrats of Bryan's state with a view to showing the people of the country that they do not do things by halves. Four special trains have been chartered to carry the organized sections of de mocracy to Denver; and many hundreds will go as individuals. Not less than 2o0( Nebraska ns propose to be In the convention- city and join in the entertain ment of visiting delegates and the dem onstration for their favorite son. Speaking of the expense of placing "Wil liam J. Bryan's name before the Denver convention, National Committeeman Dahl man had this to say: "We feel that the occasion is one which demands that Nebraska Democrats do their whole duty and I have heard not a word of dissent from any of them. The expense of the special trains, mainten ance of headquarters; as fine as money can procure, and the entertainment of visiting delegates has been placed at $25,000 but I can see where it will require much more than that amount. Our people have felt that the occasion warrants the effort and the accompanying expense and have cheerfully dug down into their Jeans to pay the bills. We will show the East and West and the North and the South the meaning of true Western hos pitality, and will be early an the ground for that purpose. We will also show thera that Nebraska has some wealth and knows how to spend it on occasions of this kind. "We expect but one name to be pre sented to the convention, and that will be Bryan's. I do not believe Minnesota will present Johnson. They can't afford to do it. Of the thousand odd delegates accredited, nearly 800 are for Bryan to start with, and there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that he will receive the solid vote of New York and Penn sylvania." To meet the expense of maintaining headquarters a fund of $5000 has been appropriated, and the delegates and Bryan volunteers will be assessed to pay the bill. This assessment will be made pro rata with the ability of delegates to pay. Some will be asked to contribute $30. while others will receive a hint that from $100 to $200 wfll be their assessment. The Volunteers will furnish one of the political attractions at Denver, where a number of their leaders will spend five or six days during the convention or ganizing outside states for the campaign.

A. HTJXTER RETCRXS FROM TRIP THROUGH OREGON. Travels Military Land-Grant Road and Makes More Than 800 Miles by Wagon, and Horseback. Completing perhaps the lonuest and most thorough tour of Oregon that has been made since the old pioneer days, H. A. Hunter, of Minneapolis, and a party of associates returned to Portland yesterday. They traversed more th:;n 800 miles in Southern Oregon by wagon and on horseback. The party made a thorough study of geographical, climatic and other condi tions of thj vast unknown area compris ing the southern portion of fnis state. Instruments were used to test hot only the soil, but climatic and atmospheric conditions at various altitudes and places. According to Mr. Hunter, the unknown, uncultivated empire of the southern por tion of this state offers greater opportu nities than any other part of America. The party traveled the old Military Land Grant road from the eastern bor ders of Harney County to the City of Eugene. Not in years, perhaps since the days when the oxteam and pioneer wended their way into the wilderness; has the famous old route been followed more closely. For years Mr. Hunter was connected with the Northern Pacific Railroad Com pany in Its land department. It Is said that he has sold more land than any man of his years in this country. He and his associates are now arranging a huge colonization scheme for Southern Oregon. The company he represents has se cured possession of the entire area of land' known as the old Oregon Military Land Grant. The tract comprises an area of considerably more than 300.000 acres, and it was for the purpose of per fecting plans for the colonization and settlement of this enormous district that Mr. Hunter and his party made the tedious trip. In connection with the plan of colonization the company has opened headquarters in this city, and offices in various large Eastern cities. "We left the train at Austin, In the extreme eastern part of the state," said Mr. Hunter last night. "We then trav eled for more than 800 miles along the old route of the Oregon Military Land Grant road as far as the City of Eugene. "And after traversing that section of the state. I want to tell you people of Oregon that you actually don't know what you have. An area bigger than some states, practically unsettled and Just as it was when the Creator made it. offers more opportunities than any tract of land I have ever seen. "There are grazing lands, fruit lands, mineral possibilities, and. Indeed, every thing that man could desire. In all that section, especially in the vicinity of Lake view and the Goose Lake Valley, we en countered numerous surveying parties. Railroads are doing an extensive amount of skirmish work in Southern Oregon and are evidently preparing to attempt to get the better of each other in opening up that big territory." Among the towns visited along the route were Natron. Vale, Lakevlew, Klamath Falls. Eugene and many others.
