WEEKLY ENTERPRISE ESTABLISHED 1866. VOL. V. No. 57. OREGON CITY, OREGON, SUNDAY, MARCH 9, 1913. Per "Week, 10 Cents - ' WILSON PUTS BA ON HIS RELATIVES ANNOUNCES THAT COUNTENANCE OTISM COUSIN DENIED PLACE ! :ecutive Declares That Ap .ntment of Kinsmen to Of fice Would be Serious Handicap. WASHINGTON, March. 8. Presi dent Wilson has passed the word along the line that it is his wish that no member of the Wilson family and no relative have a position in the present administration. It does not mean that the Presi dent underestimates the talents of his cousins, brothers and others near to him, but it does mean that he feels that- it will be better for everyone if the government is kept out or tne family." He is said to have expressed the j belief that the practice of nepotism, especially at the outset of his admin- istration, would tend to weaken the' administration. I His wishes became known today J in rather startling fashion to Cap tain M. Wilson, a cousin who lives in Portland, Or. Captain Wilson as pired to be a member of the Philip pine Commission. He came on here yesterday, and today went to see Mr. Garrison, secretary of war, to talk the subject over with him. Secretary Garrison shocked him by saying that President Wilson had sent him word that no relative of the President should have a position in the new ad ministration. It was not an order; it was merely a suggestion, but it amounts to the same thing. There are several relatives of the President throughout the country, and some of them, it is rumored, have been looking forward, to berths in the diplomatic or consular service. IS.

Darrow, on trial for jury bribery, reported at 11 : 35 o'clock this forenoon that they were unable to agree and Judge Conley discharg ed them. The jury reported at 11:35 that there was no possibility for an agree ment and that it stood 8 to 4 on the last ballot taken. Former Judge O. W. Powers, of counsel for the defense, asked for an immediate retrial. Mr. Darrow ask ed that the time for setting of the trial be fixed ona week from next Monday. " Deputy District Attorney W. Jos eph Ford was reminded by the court at the same time that he had said during the closing argument of the case that he would not try the case again. Ford was asked whether this meant that the indictment against Darrow would be dismissed. He re plied that he referred only to his own personal attitude and had no au thority to speak for District Attorney John D. Fredericks. Judge Conley then announced that if the prosecution decided to dis miss the indictment it could do so between now and the time for the next calling of the case, March 24. After a further parley, Judge Con ley on his own motion fixed March 31 as the date for a new trial, which will be the third on charges almost identical. Darrow thanked the court and added: "I'll fight it out; I should have been acquitted on the evidence and I shall surely fare better next time." After court adjourned, the jury men said that 12 ballots were taken and the best that Darrow had at any time was six jurors. That was early in the balloting, and in a short time two were won over by those who de sired conviction. The jury never at any time stood 11 for conviction and one for acquittal. Foreman Pettingill, whose request for instructions when the jury first reported shortly after 10 o'clock was constructed to that effect, said that he meant no such thing. Eight to four was the near est the jury ever came to a decision, he declared. Darrow received the disagreement calmly. The stir in the courtroom that followed the erroneous impres sion that jury stood. 11 to one had in a measure prepared him either for a disagreement or a conviction, and his only comment at the end was: "I will contiuue to fight." Former Judge O. W. Powers, who was one of Darrow's counsel, declar ed that the disagreement had aston ished him. "I cannot understand it," he said. "The instructions and evidence were all in our favor. The court intimat ed as strongly as he could that the case should be dismissed." Powers then expressed the opin ion that the District Attorney would not dare to bring the case to trial March 31, the date set for a re-trial by Judge Conley. The specific charge against Darrow in the present case was the bribery of Robert Bain, a jury sworn to try the McNamaras. The evidence offer ed was almost identical to that offer ed in Darrow's first trial on a similar charge when he was acquitted in half an hoiy.

MINISTERS TO AID METHODIST REVIVAL The pastor of the First Methodist Church, Dr. T. B. Ford, who has been conducting evangelistic servic es in his church for some time with fine results, and who has been assist ed by his congregation and occasion ally by the pastors of some of the other churches preaching for him, has reached a point in the develop ment of his plan of campaign for an other step in cooperative evangelism. Accordingly he has invited Rector Robinson, and pastors Milllken. Landsborough, Wievesiek, Clack and Edwards to preach for him Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evnings respectively, and to bring their congregations with them, and a cordial invitation has been ex tended to the churches as such to attend the services in a body as far as possible, and hear their own min isters in another church. The pastors have commended the plan and will heartily cooperate with Dr. Ford and his congregation, who are in sympatiuuwith him. Dr. Ford s invitation will be laid before the dif ferent churches at their services this morning and no doubt they will take favorable action, except St. Paul's Episcopal Church, whose rec tor had previously arranged services for. every evening of the next two weeks, and while grateful for the in vitation, and giving assurance of fu ture cooperation, did not think it wise to change his plan. Dr. Ford hopes, to see the people of the churches turn out in great force and aid in furthering the evan gelistic movement now in progress. He believes in closer relations of the churches; in the principle and prac tice of cooperation and wants to see a united, vigorous and irresistable campaign of Christian men and wo men.

Wednes day being the boy's eleventh birth day he mentioned the fact to several of his friends, who in turn told some of the cider boys. These older boys, some of them being 15 and 16, pro ceeded to get young Keil and deliv er to him a birthday spanking, which in this case amounted to a beating. He was caught in the school yard at noon by five of the older boys who took off a portion of the lad's cloth ing. Each took turns in striking him with their fists and amused themselves in this manner for about ten minutes, despite the cries of the boy who was not let alone until he was on the point of exhaustion. When he reached home he was covered with bruises from his head "to his feet, his clothing badly torn and he was chilled from having been expos ed to the weather In a nude state. The boy became unconscious Thurs day in which state he remained all day.

COOPER'S SON STRANGELY GONE YOUNG (MAN THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN SHANGHAIED OR SLAIN ' BY ROBBERS DETECTIVE TRYING TO FIND CLUE Brle and Parents of Missing Line man Almost Prostrated Seen Last at Rainier Talk ing to Stranger ' Ray Cooper, 25 years of age, son of E. H. Cooper, collector for the water board of this city, has been mysteriously missing from his home In Clatskanie since February 17. His . father believes the young man has been foully dealt with or has been shanghaied. Young Cooper, who was employed "as a telephone lineman by ' the Pacific Telephone Telephone & Telegraph Company, bade his youngv wife goodbye the morning of his dis appearance, saying he would return 'that evening. He was In charge of the line between Ranier and West port and said he was going to Ranier . to do some work. He was seen at the station at Ra- nier at 8 o'clock that night talking " . with another lineman and a stranger. ' It is believed jthat the stranger had . something to do with the young man's disappearance. Cooper wore his working clothing and did not even have on a coat, so it is not probable that he disappeared of his own voli tion. He had no money when he left home, but cashed a check at Ranier for $5. It is supposed that he wanted the money for incidental expenses. . . The young man's father has employ ed a detective to make an investiga tion. Young Cooper was married several months ago, and immediately after the wedding ceremony he and his v onae went to uiatskanie to live. Mu Cooper, who is here with her hus-X. band's parents, said that she ami "" " her husband never had a cross word and when her husband left home he promised to return early in the ev- ening after bidding her goodbye. Mr. Cooper was reared in this county ' and his friends are confident that he has either met with foul play or been shanghaied. It is believed that the stranger with whom he was seen talking at Ranier induced him to go aboard a ship hound for the Orient. The parents and bride of the young man are almost prostrated. 2 Couples Get Licenses. Licenses to marry were Issued Saturday to Lena Frank and Ollie . Crador and Jennie E. Johnston and John C. Kaye.
