GUILT OK INNOCENCE OF A. C.
PALMER IS UNDETERMINED.
Charge Is Impersonating a United

. Gnllty ol Smuggling:. .
The trial of A. C. Palmer, charged -with
Impersonating a Government officer, ended
in the United States Circuit Court yes
terday afternoon shortly before 6 o'clock,
when the Jury announced It was unable to
agree, and was discharged.
Palmer was formerly TJnlted States
Commissioner at Prinevllle. having been
appointed on October 3, 1S9S. for a period
of four years. He continued to act In that
capacity for several months after the ex
piration of his term on October 3, li02. and
executed a large number of homesteads
and timber filings and proofs. Receiving
an intimation that the Federal authori
ties had decided to proceed against him
ha came to Portland on January 3 last
and gave himself up.
A number of -witnesses were called by
both, sides. Palmer's defense being that
he overlooked the fact that his commis
sion had expired, and was acting In good
faith, still believing himself to be acting
within the scope of his authority. He
underwent a searching cross-examination
by District-Attorney Hall, but his testi
mony waa not 'materially shaken. He was
represented by C. M. Idleman, of Port
land. While the Jury was out In the Palmer
case, the trial of Larry Kelly on the
charge of smuggling SO five-tael cans of
opium into the United States, In defiance
to the customs laws, was taken up, tried,
given to the Jury, and a verdict of guilty
returned, all Inside of two hours. Kelly
,1a .an old offender, having been arrested
on the charge of smuggling several times.
His last offence occured In April, when a
customs inspector found him asleep on the
steamer Joseph Kellogg with the opium In
his possession. He will be sentenced by
Judge Bellinger this morning.
ROAD WARRANT CASH ARGUED,
Coanty's Suit Against First National
Banlc Submitted to Jndpre Fraier.
A motion to strike out parts of the an
swer in the suit of Multnomah County
against the First National Bank to re
cover $7000 worth of tax certificates Issued
for county warrants was argued and sub
mitted yesterday before Judge Frazer.
The warrants In question were issued
about six years ago on forged road
supervisors' time checks which passed
through the hands of the Auditor and
County Court without being detected, and
the County Clerk drew the warrants by
order of the County Court. The war
rants were signed by the County Clerk,
bore the seal of the county, and were in
every way regular, but when It was after
wards discovered that David Gee had suc
ceeded In getting the county authorities
to issue warrants on manufactured road
time checks, the State Circuit Court, on
a suit being brought after the arrest of
Gee and one Ben Chllders for forgery,
decided that the warrants were Issued
without consideration and were void. Gee
and Chllders each served a term of six
years in the penitentiary fox the crime.
The bank, notwithstanding the decision
declaring the warrants void and uncol
lectible, succeeded two years ago in ex
changing the warrants through "W. F.
White, on a petition signed by H. W.
.Corbett, for tax certificates of the face
value of $7000. The bank In its answer
to the suit detailed all the circumstances
connected with the Issuance of the war
rants, and set forth that the bank had a
moral and equitable right to recover the
money it paid for the warrants, because
it purchased them in good faith. It was
further alleged that the bank transferred
or sold the warrants to Mr. White, and
the petition asking for tax certificates in
exchange was signed at his request.
Ex-Senator Joseph Simon appeared as
attorney for the bank, and contended that
the facts stated In the answer are not
immaterial and irrelevant, as contended
by Judge Carey, the opposing attorney,
and should stand as a defense to the suit.
Counsel said the bank paid full value for
the warrants in the regular course of
business and said the complaint filed
seeks to throw on the bank the odium of
holding in its possession void warrants
without showing the manner in which
they were acquired. The bank ought to
be permitted as a defense to show that
they were bought in good faith In order
to sustain the contention that the bank
has a moral claim against the county.
There was no attempt to impose upon the
County Board when the bank presented
its petition two. years ago. Assuming the
exchange was for the bank's benefit, and
it was the real party in interest, was
there any wrong In asking the county to
take back these warrants and give in ex
change tax certificates?
Judge Carey, speaking In behalf of the
county, said the complaint as drawn con
tained a bare statement of facts and was
colorless. It contained no statement of
fraud. Referring to the answer the at
torney said all of the details contained
therein had been presented and disposed
of in 1S97 in the State Circuit Court in the
suit in which the warrants had been de
clared Illegal and void. The rights of the
bank had been fully adjudicated at that
time, and the bank was enjoined from
presenting the warrants to the County
Treasurer for payment. The county
could not be debarred from availing lt
eelf of this decision.
Concerning the argument that the bank
Btill held a moral claim, Judge Carey said
the County Court had no Jurisdiction to
pive away county assets for what had
'been determined to be worthless paper,
no more than it had a right to give away
lho -furniture in the Courthouse.
Referring to the petition presented to
the County Court in 1M1 asking for the
exchange of tax certificates. Judge Carey
eald the bank had not shown good faith
tor It made no direct allusion to the "fact
that the warrants had been declared void
and that payment had been enjoined.
Mr. Simon interrupted and read that
part of the petition which he thought was
sufficiently explicit and explained that the
condition of the warrants was no doubt
generally understood.
Judge Carey, continuing, said the peti
tion was framed to conceal from the
County Board these vital facts, and far
from having a moral claim, the bank
pursued a course to the contrary.
Judge Frazer stated that he would ex
amine the pleadings carefully before de
ciding the matter:
WANTS DEED OR DAMAGES.
A. Elisabeth. Woltrlng- Charges C. W.
Lavrren With Breach of Contract.
Suit to compel the issuance of a war
ranty deed, or for damages in case 1t Is
not done, was filed In the State Circuit
Court yesterday by A. Ellrabeth Wolt
rlng against C. W. Lawrens. The suit Is
based on an agreement executed in Los
Angeles on October 30. 1201, by the terms
of which Lawrens sold the plaintiff lots
7 end S and the east ten feet of lots 5
and 6. block C4. Caruther's addition to
Caruther's addition, for $1000. payable in
installments, with the right of the pur
chaser to make full payment at any time.
This latter, she alleges, she offered to do
on June 10 last, when Lawrens refused to
accept and for the first time Informed
her that he was without title to the east
ten feet of lots 5 and 6. and would give
her a quit claim deed. The plaintiff
charges that ehe has placed improvements
costinc $4000 on the nrnnertv nnl Vio
the whole property is valued at $7000. She
aecunes to accept anything but a good
deed, or damages.
CHARLES HOUGHTON SENTENCED.
Fle Years la State Penitentiary Im
posed tor Robbers.
Charles, alias "Chick," Houghton was
cntnce to Ave years in the peniten
tiary by Judge Frazer yesterday morning,
Houghton had been at liberty on ball
which was Increased irom $2000 to $2500,
and In default of a new bond he was
locked up In .the County JalL
His attorney has filed notice of. appeal
to .the Supreme Court and asked for a re
duction of the amount of ball so that
Houghton might have his liberty pending
the decision of the higher tribunal.
Judge Frazer said that $3500 ball was
not too large for a man under five, years
sentence; that Houghton would be a bet
ter man and his parents and the com
munity better off if he spent his time in
Jail instead of on the streets. The court
said by way of explanation that the ball
had not been fixed with the latter idea in
mind.
Houghton was previously convicted and
sentenced to eight years In the peniten
tiary for this same offense. The degree of
crime returned by the first Jury admitted
of a sentence of eight years, and the
second verdict was simple robbery, the
extreme penalty for which is five years.
That Is the reason the second sentence
is less than the one imposed before. The
Supreme Court on the first conviction
granted Houghton a new trial.
Articles of Incorporation.
Joseph Simon, John M. Gearin and F. B,
Olin filed articles of incorporation in the
County Clerk's office yesterday of the Mis

WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
L N". Flelschner Declines to Enter
Race for School Director.
L N. Flelschner, of Flelschner, Mayer
& Co., who has been prominently men
tioned during the past week, as a candi
date for School Director, decided yester
day not to present his name to the tax
payers at the election next Monday. In
acknowledging receipt of the petition re
questing him to become a candidate, Mr.
Flelschner wrote as follows:
Portland, Or., June U, 1903.
To the Taxpayers of Portland School
District:
I acknowledge with thanks the receipt
of the petition of taxpayers of Portland
School District that I consent to be a
candidate for School Director at the elec
tion to be held on Monday, the 15th Inst.
While It would be a pleasant duty for me
to serve the district as a member of the
board which conducts our admirable pub
lic school system, I regret that I cannot
this year undertake any new responsibil
ities. My private business demands prac
tically my undivided attention, and what
time I can spare from it I am devoting
to the Lewis and Clark Exposition as a
member of the board of directors and
chairman of the committee on press and
publicity. The work of exploiting the
Exposition and making known its alms
and purposes to the country will steadily
increase from now on, and draw heavily
upon my time. For this reason, I could
not now accept service upon the School
Board, with justice to my personal affairs,
the Exposition or the educational inter
efts of Portland. I deeply appreciate
the honor of being Invited to become a
candidate for School Director, and cord
ially assure the taxpayers who have
signed the petition in my behalf that, but
for the pressure of private business, and
work of semi-public nature which I now
have in hand, I should be only too glad to
accept. Very respectfully,
I. N. FLEISCHNER.
Among the 500 taxpayers who signed Mr.
Flelschner's petition are the following:

EIGHTY MILES OF RAILS
FIVE THOUSAND TONS ARRIVE FOR
SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Company Is Improving: Roadbed
With VIctt to Ultimate Re
daction of Time.
The second shipment of rails for the
Southern Pacific's Oregon lines wis re
ceived by the company on the steamship
Ocklen, which arrived yesterday direct
from Hamburg. She. carried 5000 tons of
SO-pound steel rails, or sufficient to lay 40
miles of new track.
This Is the second shipment of rails re
ceived at Portland, though one steamship
has carried a cargo to San Francisco for
use on the Portland-San Francisco lines
of the company. A total of five ship
ments Is expected by the company and
will be received as fast as the new rails
can be laid. The rails received earlier
have all been put down. and the work of
reballasting and surfacing the tracks has
been completed.
It is the intention of the company to use
these rails on Its mountain divisions.
The heavy traffic and the use of two and
three engines for the passenger and freight
trains makes the use of heavier rail3
Imperative. Though It Is the Intention of
the company entirely to reconstruct the
Coast lines, the mountain divisions are
receiving the first attention.
The old rails, still in first-class condi
tion, though light for the heavy traffic
of the main line, are being sent to the
branch lines for nee on extensions, side
tracks and other Improvements An ex
amination of these rails by railroad offi
cials his demonstrated the fact that they
have stood the test of heavy traffic in a
remarkable manner, though of course
they are not as "easy riding" as the heav
ier steel.
Track Improvements are being made by
the Southern Piciflc all along the line,
curves are being reduced and the grades
done away with wherever possible. The
work, while quite extensive. Is really the
mero beginning of an extensive plan of
betterments.
The Southern Pacific Is working grad
ually toward a much better service be
tween Portland and San Frinclsco. At
present It is practically Impossible to re
duce the time between the two large cit
ies of the Coast, but ultimately the rail
road officials expect to be able to cut off
half a day in the run.
A 27-hour run between Portland and
San Francisco is the dream of the offi
cials In the traffic and operating depart
ments. This Is something that cannot be
accomplished soon, but the prediction is
made by high railroad officials thit a
realization of the dream Is certain within
a comparatively short time.
The track Improvements are an Impor
tant step In the direction of shortening
the running time for the through trains.
It Is held thit it would be practically Im
possible to do much at present In the way
of cutting down the time, for tho road
bed would not stand It the curves are too
sharp and grades too heavy- These adverse
conditions are being met and remedied.
The adoption of oil as fuel on the line
south of Ashland Is another Important
step toward shortening the running time
of the road. Gradually the use of oil is
expected to be extended northwird, and
when this fuel comes Into general use an
important factor In the consummation of
plans for fast service will havo been se
cured. The fuel question on the Oregon-California
line has always been a serious
problem, for coal has to be shipped In at
a rate that makes It practically prohibi
tive, and wood Is a poor substitute. Else
where oil has proved satisfactory; and If
it does on the northern line the fuel
question will have been settled.
Railroad officials point out the fact that
a shortening of the time between Port
land and San Francisco cannot be accom
plished until it Is possible to reduce the
schedule to. about 27 hours. This, It Is In
sisted, will be done as soon as contem
plated Improvements are all completed.
But to reduce the running time now
would be to promulgate an unsatisfactory
schedule. Either passengers would have
to leave terminals at a very late hour or
they would be brought Into objective
points In the middle of the night, or day,
as the schedule was arranged. Though,
the actual running time would be reduced,
nothing would be gained by the passen
gers, and the company would have to
meet an increased expense In the operat
ing department without commensurate
gains.
The only feasible plan of reducing the
running time is held to be cutting off
either a full night's or day's ride from
the time schedule. If trains were to
reach terminal points in the evening, pas
sengers would have the advantage of a
night's rest at a hotel instead of aboard
the train, and If an early morning arrival
was made It would give an extra day's
time for the transaction of business.
This is what the improvements on the
Coast line of the Southern Pacific are In
tended to accomplish, but the task Is one
that will call for many months of time
before it Is completed.

Bridge Building In Montana.
Six cars 'loaded with engines, pumps,
rock crushers, lumber to make forms for
concrete abutments, and a general camp
outfit were started by Smyth & Howard
yesterday for Heron, in the Blue Moun
tains, on the lino of the O. R. & N. The
equipment was sent out "for work on their
contract for constructing abutments and
piers of concrete for nine bridges, three
on Mcacham Creek and six on Borul
River. The work will probably not be
completed before December 1, as It will
bo necessary to build coffer dams and
sink pits to bedrock to secure solid foun
dations for the piers. This is likely to
prove a troublesome season for the trout

SPRINKLING CARS IN BARN
Rain Yesterday Pat the Layers ol
Dast Temporarily Oat of Baslaesa.
The dust-laying sprinkling cars didn't
have a look in yesterday when the rain
began to falL The water-car of the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company
was to start on Its first night trip at 10
p'clock last evening, but in the afternoon.
wnen the clouds loosened up and the
drops came pattering down, the sprink
ling cars went out of business.
When the effects of yesterday's rain Is
over, the water cars will be put on again,
and an attempt made to keep down the
dust which has been such a nuisance for
the past week. The sprinkling car of
George W. Simons began its runs Tues
day night. Thirty miles are covered every
night and 125,000 gallons of water are
spread along the streets. The run Is made
both over the lines of the City Sc. Suburb
an and the Portland Railway Company.
The car runs from the end of .the Upper
Alblna route. Union avenue as far as
Woodlawn Is also sprinkled. North Port
land's three lines and all the shorter lines
are sprinkled nightly.
The car of the Oregon Water Power &
Railway Company has been In the sprink
ling business for nearly a week. On the
Oregon City branch the only portion
omitted Is on the right of way near the
crematory, where there are no streets.
Sellwood and the County road, near by,
are regularly watered. The car runs on
the Mount - Tabor line to East Thirty
ninth street.
Tho Oregon City car has heretofore
been running during the day, but. like
the Simons car, will run at night in the
future.
"This Is the first time we havo tried
running at night with the sprinkler," said
Superintendent Tiffany yesterday. "I
think that the sprinkling will do lots more
good at night than In the daytime, and
we are going to try It. Did ypu ever no
tice a bucketful of water poured upon a
dusty road? Well. It's just bubbles, and
then dries up in lo minutes; so we. think
that the sprinkling will do more benefit at
night. When the sun is not shining tho
water has a chanco'to soak into the dust,
and to do some good, while. If it is
sprinkled in the daytime. It evaporates
very quickly."
Tho street-car companies have never
seriously considered the use of crude oil
in street sprinkling. In California this
has been tried with great success, but the
high price of crude oil hero would pre
vent such an lnovatlon. The Riverside
Driving Club, which has charge of the
sprinkling of the White House road, took
up the question o crude oil at a recent
meeting, but it was found that the soil
of the road was not suitable for tho use
of crude oil.
JEWS CALLED TO ARMS.
Interesting Odessa CIrenlar Re
ceived In Portland.
Moseesohn Bros., publishers of The
Jewish Tribune of this city, have received
a mimeograph copy of a Jewish circular
distributed among Odessa, Russia, Jews,
from their Odessa correspondent. The
circular was mimeographed, and not
printed, ao nothing can be printed in
Russia without one first being granted a
permit from the censor. The following
is a translation of the circular:
To all the Jews of Odessa Brothers: Again
have riots broken out In Klshlnet and Dubos
sar. resulting in a large number of our co
religionists being killed in Klshlnef. no Jew
being on the defensive In the latter city. While
on the other hand the murderers could do
nothing In Dubossar. as our brethren were
organized and on the defensive, repulsing
every attack made, upon them. Riots ma
also take place In Odessa! It is about time
that we Jews shall assert ourselves, and
understand that we roust defend ourselves as
no one else will. Our enemies here are
smaller in numbers and weaker than we are.
but they are positive of success in their mur
derous Intentions, as they see that the Jews
take no stand against them. Our persecuted
brethren fear every nobody, scattering like
flies, and hiding themselves like, persecuted
slaves. It is, O, so bitter! and O, such a
shame!
There- are 180.000 Jews in Odessa, who are
afraid of a few thousand drunken criminals.
Forget not. brothers, that in unity there Is
strength. Each one of you put this question to
yourself and act accordingly: "If I do not
protect myself and my loved ones, who will?"
If you want that your windows be not broken,
your property stolen and destroyed, your
wives and children beaten and murdered; If
you want to be men, and not a lot of sheep
or slaves, take courage and take the matter
Into your own hands! Repulse every attack
upon you! If you happen to hear anything
of a riot in Odessa, or even a rumor of one.
send your wives and children to the upper stot
les of your dwellings, barricade your stores
and residences, and arm yourselves with any
thing you can lay your hands ont If the
riot reaches your neighborhood, go out on the
street boldly and know that there are many
brave brothers among us. who are with ua
heart and soul, and are willing to lead you
against your enemies. Assist them! Fellow
their leadership! Do not be afraid! Do not
run away! Remember the .amelioration of
your condition, your very existence and that
of your families depends upon you!

Nuts Is shown to be one's most powerful
friend. Four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts
and cream will sustain a healthy man for
half a day and a less quantity In warm
milk will build up the convalescent won

sick with typhoid fever, and every one
who has had this disease knows how

"I had to be very careful about my diet
and could eat only very light foods. These
did not seem to nourish me, and. Instead
of getting better every day, I was Just at
