ANNOUNCES THAT
COUNTENANCE
OTISM
COUSIN DENIED PLACE !
:ecutive Declares That Ap

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.

UNABLE TO AGREE

FAVOR OF CONVICTING
LAWYER
DEFENDANT ASKS ANOTHER TRIAL
Hint Is Given by Judge That Charge
May be Dropped Law
yer Is Displeas
ed LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 8
After having been out for 38 hours
and 30 minutes, the jury in the case
of Clarence S. 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. MUSIC OF THIRD ,

MATE IS BEATEN
BY SCHOOL BOYS
REINHART KEIL, OF NEW ERA,
IN SERIOUS CONDITION AS"
RESULT OF HAZING
LAD IS UNCONSCIOUS WHOLE DAY
Part of Boy's Clothing Remove3 and
He IS Beaten on Bare Back
. by Youths of Upper
Grades
As the result of a severe beating
which he received Wednesday at the
hands of five of his schoolmates,
Reinhart Keil, Jr., the 11-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart Keil, of
New Era, is in a serious condition
at his home in that place. 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.
Dr. Hugh Mount, of Oregon City,
was called Friday and found that the
boy was suffering from pneumonia
and was badly bruised and beaten.
. The boy is still in a serious condi
tion and his recovery is not assur
ed. His father is a prominent Clack
amas County farmer. Mrs. Mangus
Hansen, of Oregon City, is a sister
of the lad.

OREGON CITY MARKETS
The Oregon City Market is mark
ed by a slight advance in the price
of wheat, that commodity now sell
ing, at 90 cents" instead of 85 as has
been the case for some time. This
is due to two causes, the manipula
tors in Chicago and the increased de
mand that the resumption of the Bal
Kan War has placed upon it. Con
siderable wheat has "been shipped
from Portland to the orient during
the past month.

E.H. 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.
