Chris Schuebel, New Leader in War
RIVES TO LOOK OVER CIR
CUS QUESTION
DEPARTS WITH BRIEF FOR SALEM
Chis Schuebel New Leader in War
Started By Pastors, Claims
Backing of 50 Men Who
Will "Raid" Show
Answering a call for aid sent by
Representative Chris Schuebel, Gov
ernor Oswald West dispatched his spe
cial agent, Tom Kay, to Oregon City
to investigate the tangle over the pro
posed performance here this Sunday
of a wild West show. Mr. Kay ar
I rived lata Friday afternoon, and after
transacting some other matters with
Deputy District Attorney Livy btipp,
hunted up Mr. Schuebel. Mr. Schuebel
told the special agent that Sheriff E
IT. Mass had refused to promise that
he would enforce the law in the cir
cus matter, and added that 50 promin
ent citizens were ready to back the
governor's man up in stopping the cir
cus. Departing from Mr. Scheubel's of-
Ifice .Tom Kay ran into Sheriff Mas3
land advised him to warn the circus
Ipeople not to show.
"I'll do-notaing of the Kind,' saia
Ithe sheriff, "because I have no author
ity to do so. But I will arrest the per
son or persons responsible for keeping
he circus open here on Sunday. The
llistrict attorney has instructed me
I hat such was the limit of the author-
Ity of the law in the case and I am go
ng the limit."
"Well, there wont be any circus
here Sunday," said Tom Kay.
At this stage of the proceedings j. E.
ledges, who has been retained by the
toming show to look after tueir lnter
sts, appeared on the scene. He had
Iverheard Kay s remark, and he said
Imphatically:
"I'll tell you one thing Mr. Kay,. and
Iiat is this: there is absolutely no
iloaltion of the law in a performance
f this nature on Sunday. I have a
Irief on this question at my office,
Ind I should be glad to let you see it."
Whereupon Tom Kay and Mr.
edges retired to the latter's office.
were closetted perhaps naif an
3ur. When they reappeared the
Ices of both were wreathed in smiles.
"I have Mr. Hedges' brief" said" Tom
lay "and I shall submit it to the gov-
-nor. Probably I win come back
inday, but as to what I shall do, I
Lnnot say. The governor telephoned
today that Mr .Schuebel wanted to
le me, and as I was going to Salem
lyway, I just stopped over between
lins. Mr. Schuebel talked to me
va. this circus, as did the pastors
Ire when I was in town last week. I
not know anything at all about the
in the case, I will leave that to
governor."
Ir. Schuebel, earlier in the day
hhed into the office of Sheriff Mass
said he wanted to know whether
not the sheriff was going to en-
l-ce the laws. l ha sheriif said he
luld, that he had been doing it.
I'Well, then, are you going to stop
circus," asked Mr. Schuebel, ap-
tently much excited.
I intend to arrest the person or
sons responsible for keeping it

James Maybray
ST. LOUIS Mo., Aug. 1. Announce
ment that efforts are to be made to
secure a pardon or parole for Fred
erick A. Seymour, otherwise "Lord
Barrington," who is serving a life sen
tence for the murder of, James P. Mc
Cann near this city in 1902, has serv
ed to recall to the public mind this
pseudo-nobleman, whose career is one
of the most romantic in the annals of
crime. He claims McCann still lives
in the parson of James Maybray, the
racing swindler now serving a long
sentence.
Barrington began his unique saun
ter through the calendar of crime
when a 7-year-old boy by setting fire
to a number of cottages near Brigh
ton, England, where he was born. At
the age of 16 he was given a sentence
of ten years for burglary, the proceeds
of which had netted him $10,000. Four
years later he escaped, deceiving the
police when apprehended by produc
ing a pardon which was not discover
ed to be a forgery until later.
About this time, having previously
taken the name of Frederick Syden
ham Burgoyne, he decided it would
be to his advantage to give himself
a new surrounding by joining the
army. A year after he enlisted h&
forged a furlough fled from the army
and committed a burglary for whicli
he did a ten years' stretch. Hs also
was arrested for the murder of an
array officer, whose valet he had been,
but was released for lack of proof.
iile in prison he devoted himself
to improving his education. When he
came to America after his release in
1891 he was a well polished fraud. He
posed here as. the son of an English
nobleman of rank ' and wealth. As
sue he won Miss E. Celestine Miller,
of Brooklyn, an heiress fith a fortune
in her own right. With his bride he
had the effontery to return to Eng
land and establish himself in a home
at Brignton. Soon stirpped of every
penny by her husband, the unhappy
wife returned to America with her
child, and "Barrington" was arrested
and sent back to prison to serve out
an old sentence.
Upon his released h-e again came to
the United States and as "Lord Bur
goyne," of the British peerage, was
received in Philadelphia society. Hare
he wedded Miss Mlirgaret Rafferty,
also an heiress. After borrowing a
large sum from her, he disappeared
and was next heard of in St. Louis as
"Lord Barrngton." In this city he
met and married Miss Wilhelmina
Grace Cochran, of " Independence,
Iowa. Miss Cochran later had her
marriage annulled.
The crime for which "Barrington"
is serving life term was committed
just ten year3 ago. James McCana,
the alleged vicitim, became "Barring
ton's" good friend and patron, and
was arranging to back him in a hotel
venture during the St. Louis world
fair, later the nude bodj of a man
was found floating in an abandoned
quarry near Creve Coeur lake. Friends
identified the body as that of McCanr..
Barrington was at once arrested o.i
a charge of murder.

ten days ae;o, and later charged with
vagrancy, appear in Justice Sievers
court by one o'clock Saturday after

sum is forfeited it will just about pay

"If you don't get out of here I'll

Mr. Buck.es, and the two men waited
not to ascertain whether he had a

the railroad track.
Mr. Buckles then telephoned police
headquarters, and Patrolman Henry
Cook went to investigate. On the
track he found a man "looking for
work," who gave the name of Charlie
Jones, and who was locked up for fur

NO MORE BATHING
IN "DRINK WATER"
Gladstone folk who have been keep
ing cool during the past warm weath
er by bathing in the drink this is not
slang, for they have Keen swimming
in the Clackamas river just off the In
take of the Gladstone water works
will have to ct it out. Gladstone's
council passed an order to this effect
this week, and instructed members of
the police force to see to it that there
was no further swimming in the drink.
Gladstone's water is drawn out of
the river through a 25-foot gravel fil
ter, and then pumped under pressure
into the mains. It is said to be pure,
but the proximity of bathers and wa
ter works has been regarded as Just
a little too much of a good thing; and
henceforth warm Gladstonians will
have to swim below the intake, or else
far above it. As the .best beach for
bathing purposes is right at the wa
terworks, this is considerable of a
hardship upon the citizens.
Hereafter a policeman will patrol
the river bank during bating hours,
which are from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. on
warm days, and will shoo fair damo-
sels, small boys and other folk awav
from the stuff that Gladstone imbibes.

WITH FINAL RUSH
Registration for the recall election
closed at five o'clock Friday after
noon, and when the doors of clerk's
office were shut there were still late
arrivals awaiting their turn with the
deputies and three extra clerks em
ployed in placing voters' names uoon-
the books. The registration has been
unusually lieavy, both at the court
house, and with the several registrars
wno nave been appointed in outlying
districts of the county.
County Clerk Mulvey and his . as
sistants will be busy from now until
August 16, the day of the election, in
completing the records and arranging
tne cara-index systems; and also in
shipping to the various polling places
the supplies that will be used at the
recall election. A tremendous amount
"f v crk remains to be done before the
vce can be taken, and after that
there will remain the work of count
ing and checking tae returns. While
definite figures are not yet attainable
it is believed that over 80 percent of
the legal voters have registered for
the election.
Supplies, labor and incidentals to
the election will cost the county prob
ably over $4,000. The cost will be
greater than in former county elec
tions, owing to the fact that women
are casting the ballot for the first
time.

JUDGE BEATIE AND COMMISSION
ER BLAIR SPEAK TO BIG
CROWD AT OSWEGO
BROWNELL SHOWS RECALL ANIMUS
Stewardsip of Officials Demonstrated
to Have Been Faithful Self
ishnes of Enemies
Revealed '
Everybody, in Oswego who could get
into the 'council chamber of the city
hall turned out Frltay evening to hear
County Judge R. B. Beatie, County
Commissioner N. Blair and George C.
Brownell reply to charges preferred
against the county court by the small
political clique that is backing the re
calL The meeting was one of the
largest ever held in the river city, and
though ample opportunity was afford
ed those present to put the speakers
"on the grill," not a single question
was asked either of the county offi
cials. Judge Beatie opened the meeting,
and reviewed his work as county
judge. After telling of the accom
plishments of the present county
court and of the improvements it
had provided for the county, ie called
the attention of his auditors to the
fact that the administration had not
only lifted the county from debt, but
had so managed affairs that there was
a healthy cash balance still on hand.
Speaking of the increase of taxation
the judge showed by actual figures
that while -tbere was a heavier tax,
the major part of it was made up of
mandatory increases in the state tax.
The increase voted by the people, in
special levies, was also shown to be
50 percent greater than the increase
tb.at had been ordered by state or
county requirements. In closing his
remarks, Judge Beatie said that it was
peculiar that the recallers, while pro
testing that they wanted to be per
fectly fair, had named the three worst
enemies of the county officials to in
vestigate and report upon the charges
made against the present administra
tion. Couaty Commissioner Blair took up
the county timber cruise that is now
being made, and pointed out the ad
vantages that the county would gain.
He said that not only would the in
crease in taxes on timber lands at the
next assessment pay for the entire
cost of the cruise, . but that there
would be a balance of the collections
to apply upon county work. Future,
taxes would yield a great gain to the
county. In outlining the work of the
cruise, Mr. Blair quoted figures from
the cruiser's report, and contrasted
them with previous valuations of tho
timber land, showing the gains in
each section.
At the close of both talks, the coun
ty officials offered opportunity for
questioning, bufc nobody in the audi
ence seemed to think of any charge
that had not been satisfactorily an
swered. Both speakers were ap
plauded. Mr. Brownell, who was the last
speaker, gave one of his inimitable
talks, in which he said that it was dis
couraging for a public official to be
criticized by a group of men after he
had done the best' that ha could to
fulfill.his oath to the people. Mr
Brownell protested that he was out
of politics, but said that he felt that
fairplay demanded that hs speak in
the defense of Judge Beatie and Com
missioner Blair. His address was
filled with thrusts at those who are
backing the recall, and contained
many personal appeals to those in the
audience with whom he was acquaint
ed to be fair in their judgment of the
officials, and to vote accordingly on
the day of the recall election.
