THE MOUSING OBEGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1901.
ACQUIT A GAMBLER
Boss Frank Hellen Is Found
Not Guilty,
MUCH ORATORY ON BOTH SIDES
Henry aicGInn, Representing: the
Defendant, Tried to Malce the
Lair Enforcement Leagrne the
Issue in the Case.
After a hard legal battle In the Munici
pal Court yesterday, Frank J. Hellen
was acquitted of the charge of "frequent
ing, going into, and visiting a gaming or
gambling place," for -which he had been
arrested on a raid made by police offi
cers on the Portland Club several days
ago. The courtroom was crowded with
spectators, the prominence taken by the
Law Enforcement League In the prosecu
tion drawing also many ministers to the
hearing, among them Rev. Dr. Morrison,
Rev. Dr. E. P. Hill, Rev. Dr. A. W.
Ackerman, Rev. J. E. Snyder and
Rev. J. F. Ghormley. The sensational
features of the case were the strong
words of denunciation that Henry E. Mc
Ginn poured upon the members of the
Law Enforcement League for bringing
the suit.
"Political theologians and theological
politicians," acting In a "holler than
thou" spirit with the motives of "cheap
notoriety," were among the scathing
terms that he applied to the movers in
the prosecution.
These were answered by Attorneys Clo
ser and Murdoch for the defense, and
the point at Issue In the case seemed to
be the Justice or injustice of the attacks
upon the league.
The case was tried before the following
jury: E. House, G. M. Weister, R. Marsh
J. Mitchell, J. Rosenthal and H. E.'
Brooke. These had been chosen after H.
C. Brandes and W. E. Connelly had been
excused on challenges of the prosecution,
and R. A. Schmalz by the defense.
"Are you a church member, Mr.
Schmalz?" Mr. McGinn, for the defense,
had asked.
"No," was the answer. ,
"We excuse the Juror," said Mr. Mc
Ginn. G. M. "Weister was taken by the defense
when he said he had a prejudice against
prosecuting such cases.
J. Rosenthal begged to be excused after
being chosen as a juror. "I know nothing
about the facts in the case," said he.
"Well, then," said Judge Cameron, "you
are just the man we are looking for."
Attorneys Moser and McGinn had a tilt
at the outset.
"This prosecution," said Mr. McGinn,
"is said to have been begun by the City
of Portland, when in reality it was insti
gated by the Law Enforcement League.
On the day mentioned Hellen Is charged
with going into a gambling-house, and it
is the great desire of the league to have
him mulcted and thrown In'jail."
"I object," replied Moser; "the arrests
were made by the police, the complaint
signed by Chief of Police McLauchlan,
and Issued by City Attorney Long."
"Why, you're not ashamed of the Law
Enforcement League?" asked McGinn.
This was answered In the negative, and
then Judge Cameron said: "I cannot see
what the league has to do with this case,
anyway."
Attorney Moser in his opening address,
read the city ordinances covering gam
bling, In which gambling-houses were pro
hibited "where any banking or other
game is played with cards, dice, chips,
buttons, or any other device, for money,
checks, credits, or any other representa
tive of value," and in which frequenting
or visiting such gambling-houses was pro
hibited. He described the raid of the po
lice on March 2, stating that a game of
keno was found In progress, and that
Hellen was present.
"This is a prosecution," said Mr. Mc
Ginn, waving his arms dramatically
toward the assembled clergymen, "put on
foot by political theologians and theolog
ical politicians, by those who think them
selves more just than their neighbors.
Their motives are largely notoriety, and
they bear a political stamp. They are
men who are fyond of getting up In their
pulpits and exciting the passions of the
people. The authorities have found gam
bling hard to reach and circumvent. We
admit the baneful effects of gambling In
every form. But they cannot suppress It.
They drive It out of one place only to
have it hide Its head in dark and secret
resorts. The District Attorney the peer
of any man in the pulpit of Oregon
dealt with the question in a practical
way. Realizing that gambling in the
clubhouse and in the home could not be
suppressed, he instituted a system where
by It paid a tax to the city. This was
continued until the city received $30,030
in fines.
"But then came the talk from the gen
tlemen of the pulpit of the 'covenant with
death' and the 'league with hell,' and with
similar phrases of the theological-political
school, they started to suppress It.
No man deserves greater respect than the
minister who does his work and does it
well In a spirit of Christian duty; but let
him enter the political arena, let him give
blows, and he will receive them In return.
The organization known as the Law En
forcement League spends its time In spy
ing. In spotting, in meddling, for the pur
pose of what? Have they the Interest
of society more at heart than their fellow
cltlzens to say, 'We will attend to the
law'? It Is the 'holler than thou' spirit
in which they act. We have had these
spasmodic attempts at virtue. They flare
up and then die down to nothing. The
motive Is ono of cheap notoriety. Hellen
was not visiting a gambling-house. Gam
bling was closed. Let us for once end this
cheap, spying business."
Testimony of the witnesses for the pros
ecution and defense was heard in the
afternoon. This was very brief. Captain
Hoare testified to making the raid with
Sergeant Moore and capturing a keno out
fit and $00 in cash, and finding the play
ers surrounding the apparatus. He saw
no money change hands, and did not know
whether gambling for money had been
going on. He testified that the raid had
been made at the Instigation of Oscar Cox
and Dr. Morrison, of the league, but was
not positive as to the latter's connection.
Sergeant Moore testified that the game
was going on in Captain Hoare's tempo
rary absence; that "keno" had been called
twice, and that the men were playing for
chips, which bore the signs, "Good for one
drink." or "Trade- check."
For the defense, Frank Hellen denied
that gambling had been going on, al
though admitting that the men were play
ing for the drinks, although he asserted
he was not running the game.
Attorney Murdoch, in closing for the
prosecution, vigorously contended that the
Law Enforcement League had nothing to
do with the facts of the case, which
should weigh most with the jury. He up
hold the principles of the league and the
character of the men representing it, and
argued that the testimony showed con
clusively that gambling had gone on, for
drinks or money, either one being repre
sentative of value, and that Hellen, be
ing present, was therefore guilty.
"Every man should be Interested in en
forcing the law," said Murdoch, "and
he is not to be called a 'religious crank'
or 'holier than thou' for wanting the law
enforced."
Mr. McGinn, in closing, bitterly de
nounced the prosecution: "Respected
names and venerable gray heads have
been gathered Into the league to cloak
the spying actions of underlings, to add
respectability to the league in the same
way the Roman conspirators had pro
posed to use the name of Cicero. These
people are trying to force blue laws upon
us. These theological politicians are try
ing to work up a political movement and
land themselves and their friends in of
fice. I have the greatest respect for the
proper sphere of the pulpit. But, like
Edmund Burke, I contend that 'no sound
should be heard in the church but the
healing voice of Christian charity." The
way to preach morality is not to tread
the primrose paths of dalliance In their
lives.
"Hellen had closed his place up and
kept it closed. He was not gambling,
and these people were simply attempting
to hound him when he was down."
Attorney Moser again defended the mo
tives of the league, and summed up the
evidence to the Jury in a forcible speech,
contending that Hellen was clearly guilty,
having been in a gambling-house when a
game was going on.
The Jury was dismissed with a short
charge, and, after 20 minutes' retirement,
brought in the verdict of acquittal.
For Timber Cut.
United States District Attorney Hall
yesterday commenced suit In the United
States Court against L. T. Lewis, of Lake
County, to recover the value of timber
cut In the Cascade forest reserve. The
complaint alleges that one T. W. Rich
ards cut 1600 tamarack trees in township
3G 6., R. 6 E., about six Inches in di
ameter at the butt, and made 32S0 poles

of the value of $328. It is further al
leged that Richards sold a lot of these
poles to L. F. Lewis, and delivered them
to him at a place near Klamath Falls,
the value thereof being 5160. Hence a
civil suit has been commenced agalnEt
Lewis to recover this amount. The reason
why no suit has been begun against
Richards, who cut the poles. Is that he
is irresponsible financially. It will probab
ly cost about $2S0 to collect the $180 from
Lewis, but Justice must be done. If the
heavens fall, and all the larks In the
country are caught.
Conrt Notes.
Joseph Schwartz, of Pendleton, tailor
and laborer, yesterday filed a petition in
bankruptcy in the United States Court.
His liabilities amount to something over
$400. No mention Is made of any as
sets. The creditors of Cawston & Co., of this
city, who recently filed a petition in
bankruptcy, met yesterday In Judge
Sweek's office and agreed upon Charles
H. Brown as trustee in bankruptcy in
the case. It Is possible that an arrange
ment may be made allowing the firm to
continue business.
WHAT DO TnC CHILDREN DRINK?
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have jou tried
the new food drink called GRAIN-O? It Is de
licious and nourishing and takes the place or
coffee. The more Graln-O you give the chil
dren the more health you distribute through
their systems. Graln-O is made of pure
grains, and when properly prepared tastes like
the choice grades of coffee but costs about i
as much. All grocers sell It. 15c and 25c
FOOD AND WISDOM.
Drain Workers Lenrn the Secret.
Ambitious students who study hard and
try their best to gain an education, fre
quently give down under the pressure
and are greatly disappointed when they
find they cannot carry out the cherished
desire of their life.
This result is nearly always caused by
the lack of the right kind of food to
make up the waste caused by excessive
brain work.
The average student does not know how
to select the right kind of food, but a
food expert has been at work and has
produced a food especially Intended to
nourish and rebuild the brain and the
nerve centers throughout the body. This
food Is known as Grape-Nuts.
A student, Rosa Scott, of Kenoma. Mo..
says, "I was vers ambitious to succeed at
school, and started under favorable cir
cumstances with good health and used I
what Is generally supposed to be, good, t
substantial articles of food, such as meat,
vegetables, etc.
"I worked hard and soon became trou
bled with distress in my stomach. I no
ticed a confusion of thought and Inability
to memorize. I found it almost impos
sible to study in the condition I was in,
and resorted to medicine, but that did
not relieve me of my suffering, and I
seemed to grow worse. I was in de
spair until one day a friend, who had
passed through a slmlllar experience, told
me to stop using medicine, and In place
or ordinary food use Grape-Nuts Food.
He said It contained certain elements
necessary to rebuild the worn-out tissues
of both body and brain, and positively
assured me that if I would use the food,
I would get well and be ableh to go on
with my work.
"It seemed too good to be true, and I at
once began the use of Grape-Nuts Food,
with an egg for breakfast. For the mid
day meal I used four heaping teaspoon
fuls with seme cream or milk and nothing
else. Then for the evening meal I used
Grape-Nuts and fruit. Right from the
beginning, my sufferings were not so
great, and gradually my strength re
turned, and I could see that my brain
was regaining its former activity.
"These favorable symptoms continued
until I was entirely relieved from my
trouble, and am now stronger than I ever
was before. Can study 10 or 12 hours a
day with results that I feel are a credit
to myself.
"I would like to have students all over
the world know of the powerful proper
ties contained in Grape-Nuts Food as
compared with any ordinary diet."
This sort of experience teaches plainly
tho fact that there is everything in the
selection of food if one desires to work
hard and make a success in this world.
There Is probably no food known that Is
as perfect for the rebuilding of the body
and brains as Grape-Nuts.
NEW SCHOOL BOARD
Mrs. Sitton Seated as First
Woman Director,
WELCOMED BY OLD MEMBERS
J. V. Beach Becomes Chairman, Vice
R, K. Wnrrcn-H. S. Allen Elected.
Clerk of the District for the
Twelfth Time.
Mrs. L. W. Sitton was formally inducted
Into office yesterday afternoon as the
first woman member of the Portland
School Board. Though her election was
the greatest victory the women of Port
land have ever won, not a single woman,
nor a married one, went to the City Hall
to see her take the oath. The handsome
young clerk In City Superintendent Rig
ler's office would gladly have been a spec
tator if three or four men, who looked
like whistplayers, had not blocked the
doorway and shut off her view. Mrs.
Sitton was warmly welcomed by all the
old members. Their greetings could not
have been more cordial If they had all
voted for her and had been, from the era
of Adam, advocates of woman representa
tion on the School Board.
Mrs. Sitton arrived promptly at the hour
set for the meeting, as became a new
member. Clerk Allen greeted her, and
was followed by City Superintendent Rlg
ler. City Auditor Devlin -was called to
administer the oath, which Mrs. Sitton
signed, "L. W. Sitton," in a bold hand.
Directors Warren. Beach. Williams, Wlt-
V
i
5$
tenberg and Thompson arrived in a bunch
and were profuse In their congratulations
of the member-elect. Director Thompson
thought he owed an explanation. "Mrs.
Sitton," he said, "I welcome you as a
member of our board. I did not vote for
you, as I had asked Mr. Warren to be a
candidate for re-election."
"Oh, that's all right," said Mrs. Sitton,
assuringly. "No apologies are necessary,
Mr. Thompson."
As Chairman Warren took up the gavel
he said his work for the afternoon would
consist principally of turning the presi
dency over to his successor. He con
tinued: As I retire from service, I "wish to express
my high appreciation of tho uniform courtesy
which you have ever extended to me as a.
member of your honorable body. Though I
retire from official service on the board, my
Interest in the schools of Portland does not
cease. There Is no official position in the sift
of the people which carries with It greater re
sponsibilities than that of School Director, and
I have ever considered it a high honor to
have been called by the people to serve as a
member of the Board of Education.
To "the honorable member who is to take my
place as presiding- officer, I can bespeak with
assurance the same kind and considerate treat
ment In his added duties as has been given
to me; and, while It Is fitting that he shall
extend a welcome to the newly elected mem
ber of the board, I cannot refrain from saying
that In past years I was familiar with Mrs.
Sltton's work as a teacher In our schools, and
If her work as a member of the board Is as
painstaking and efficient as was her work In
the schoolroom, the district will have faithful
and conscientious service.
Mr. JWarren stepped from the platform
to receive thanks and a cordial handshake
from Mrs. Sitton. Director Beach as
cended the rostrum and became the new
chairman. Mrs. Sitton moved into the
seat vacated by Director Beach, and the
new School Board was ready for business.
As a preliminary the retiring Director was
thanked for his efficient service as chair
man. H. S. Allen was re-elected Clerk,
and In response to Director Thompson's
demand for a few remarks, delivered the
longest speech he has ever been known to
make. "This is the 12th time I have been
elected your Clerk," he said. "I have en
deavored to be faithful and If I have
failed in any way it Is not because I have
not tried to do my best. Again, gentle
men, er er ladies and gentlemen, I
thank you." Clerk Allen's bond was fixed
at J50.000.
Chairman Beach thought work should
be begun on the New Central School, on
the East Side, as the weather Is favor
able for excavating. The building com
mittee was Instructed to Inspect the plans
for the school made by the late R. H.
Miller, architect of the board. It was
suggested to Mrs. Sitton that she accom
pany the committee.
, The request of H. E. Dosch, superin
tendent of the Oregon exhibit at Buffalo,
that the Portland public schools make an
educational display, was referred to
Chairman Beach, Mrs. Sitton and Superin
tendent Rlgler, with power to act. The
display will cost $100, and must be ready
in five weeks.
Director Thompson, who was In a hu
mor to call on his associates for speeches,
said the new member ought to say some
thing. Mrs. Sitton answered that It was
a ..ttle early for her to make speeches.
"Later," she added, with a smile, "I may
have something to say."
"It is a little early for Mrs. Sitton to
know the routine of work," said Director
Williams.
"yes," chimed in, Chairman Beach, as
he dropped his gavel and declared the
meeting over.
C0MING ATTRACTIONS.
"Fnnst" at Cordray's.
A cardinal point in the coming pro
duction of Lewis Morrison's "Faust"
at Cordray's next week is its magnifi
cent scenic completeness. Never in the
history of this famous play has It been
presented In as perfectly uniform a
manner as this season. From the time
the curtain rises rnon the dark sepul
cral cell of Dr. Faustus, until It falls
upon the beautiful tableaux of the ap
otheosis, it Is a series of elaborate spec
tacular transformations, ranging from ec
clesiastical solemnity to diabolical welrd
ness. Special attention has been given
to the electrical and mechanical features.
To select a car of pianos. The "high-grade manufacturers" we repre
sent make only the best instruments; therefore, we have no occasion (as
some dealers seem to have) to cull out enough for a carload from among
the hundreds of pianos in stock. What would such old, reliable houses as
Knabe, Steck, Sohmer, Hardman, Fischer, Ludwig and others of good
standing say to any dealer who would visit their warerooms and "attempt"
to "select" from their stock a few good pianos and leave the slightly In
ferior pianos for such as are unfortunate enough to get them? No. The
kind of pianos we sell today are just like the ones we sold your friends last
year. No worse, nor better, but as good as can be made by the most ex
pert builders. Our motto Is: "Buy and sell only the best let others
sell the culls." It Is a matter of individual taste when one selects a
piano. One musician may want the deep resonant tone of a Hardman or
Everett; another prefers the silvery ripple of the Fischer or Steck; an
other will only have the support and sympathy of a Ludwig; and many
there are who demand the grand orchestral effects of the Incomparable
Knabe. You will find these beauties In tone, color, clothed In cases of
latest design, from the darkest rosewood to the white mahogany, and In
size from the Petit Bijou to the mammoth Concert Grand, and In num--bers
never equaled in the Pacific Northwest, at the old reliable music
