10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1903. HID TO 5111 Great Audience Hears Christian Scientist, PROMINENT PEOPLE THERE Judge Septimus J. Hanna Ex plains New Creed. PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS Explains Principles, Purposes and HIstcry of Dcctrine to Interested ' Hearere, Under Auspices of "Lo cal Churches of This Faith. One of the largest audiences which ever tilled the Hartjuan Grand Theater atond ed the Christian Science rally held under the auspices pi the local Science cburcho3 sVsterday niteracox The principal speak- r of the occasion was Judge Septlniu3 J. Hanna, of. the Board of Lectureship, who Is conducting a campaign of education on the Xorth Pacific Coast. Judge Hanna was Introduced by H. W. Scott, and In the audience Trrta'aany of Portland's most eminent citizens. X.ons before Z o'cloci, the hour set for the meeting, the lobby of the theater was filled Jwitl an easer crowd, which over flowed Into the street, and when the seat ing! capacity of the auditorium and stage had been exhausted the doors were closed upon several hundred people who were unable to gain admission. The audiences represented all shades of religious beliefs and seemed to be animated by the solo desire to leam mere about the widely-discussed creed. Tee membership- of the othpr city churches was largely repre sented, although none of the more prom inent pastors was present. Jewish people predominated In the audience, and the ab sence of physicians was noticeable. The maeting was In the hands of the Christian Scientists, and the arrangement were entirely satisfactory to those who succeeded in getting into the theater. The turning away of a. larse number was ne cessitated by lack of room and not through any mismanagement. There were no decorations, save that the stage was flanked by palms and pots of crysanthemums. About 500 members of tho two Christian Science churches were seated upon the stage. Among oth ers in the audience were: Mayor Wil liams, Mrs. Dr. Henry E. Jones, Mrs.Isam White, Mrs. I. N. Flelschner, Mrs. Max Flelschner, Mrs. S. J. Hanna, Mra A. S, Duniway, Mrs. Steers, Mrs. H. D. Green, Mrs. Harry Hogue, Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Pendleton, Mr. and Mrs. Crossman, Mrs. Harry Allen, Mrs. G. Gerst, of San Fran cisco; Miss Shanahan, Miss Mary, Hirsch and Miss Cathrine Countiss. There was no music, the afternoon being devoted entirely to the address of Judge Hanna, except for the remarks of Mr. Scott in presenting him to the assembly. Judge Hanna Is a speaker of much force &nd power. His address is a plain state ment of the principles, purposes and his tory of his church. He indulges in no flights of oratory, but impresses upon his audience the sincerity and zeal with which he proclaims the new faith. His reason ing Is simple, direct and convincing. The deep interest manifested by his hearers yesterday evidenced the strong hold which Christian Science has upon the commu nity, and the able exposition of it by so eminent an authority undoubtedly did much to advance Its Ideas. Judge Hanna is Introduced. In Introducing Judge Hanna, H. W. Scott said: ... By request I come to this platform, to intro duce the speaker of today. I am not of your society, bu I have compiled with the request out of courtesy to thoie who asked xn, and out of personal regard for the speaker, with whom I have had some acquaintance during many years, and whose wife la my own near kinswoman. Of the subject on which the speaker Is to, address jou 1 have small knowl edge, for I hae glcn little attention to It; but 1 am awarg that it presents Itself with the claims both or a philosophy and a re ligion, and as such It deals in its own way with the nwwt Interesting subjects that have been presented to the human mind and soul, through the courte of aces. In subjects of this nature the psychological element alwajs has a prominent place. There le truth In .philosophy, but no philosophy Is absolute, there is truth la religion, but no creed embraces all of It. With changing conditions of the human mind in the history of our race, philosophy changes its expression; religion chances Its forms; and since we neer can attain to absolute v-ertltudcs, it will alwajs be so. Feelings are enlisted, emotions are awakened, we run Into cold speculation on one side and follow the lead of a warm imagi nation on the other. The task of the rational mind is to keep Itself within the limits of rea sonable probability, on those subjects upon which certalntj is lmpofrlble. The sure thing Is that present beliefs will not abide, la their present forms. But the agitation will continue: the theme Is an eternal one. The inquiry takes as many directions as there are -varieties of intellect and soul, and the conclusions or deductions that satisf one mind fall to satisfy others Again, a generation come and go, thei arae paths are trodden by multitudes, who take little note of the counties footprints that hae pre ceded them. We are a?t to think ourselves new discoverers, jet there Is little that Is new, under the sun. But man feels that he has a hold on the infinite, and therefore will foreer pursue this Inquiry. Some leld to authority; others per sist In Independence. Which is the better way? It depends on the temperament of the Individual There can be no single rule for all; else thought would stagnate. The first religious idea Is the Idea of a znjsterlous power superior to man, creative, retributive, beneficent. With this idea tne mind of man has alwas been haunted and possessed. Man's position In nature (shall we eay his greatness?) proceeds from his con sciousness of himself; and whatever else religion may be. the history of our race shows that It Is undoubtedly the sphere in which man's experience reaches its utmost concentration. In a word, it Is the highest form of man's consciousness of himself In his relation to all other objects. And this It Is that makes man man. r I hac said that In the world there is not much that Is new. That splendid Virglllan line, written two thousand jears ago, "Mens agltat molm, ct magno so corpore xnlseet," sums up the thought of the world toda, both as to mind and matter. "Mind moves the mass (of matter) and mingles Itself with the mighty body." We find' It true that where & considerable number at people are thinking earnestly along any certain line, the mental emanations must necessarily become powerful factrs In Influencing public Tsentlment and producing those rapid changes In popular feel ing so frequently encountered In the history of a people. There are mysteries of psychology of pathol g. of telepathy. All my life I have paused upon the brink of this great sea of mystery. leaving It to those who had 'more courage or more assurance than myself to attempt the xp!oratlon. Long time I, haverbeen told there was a compass for sailing this unknown sea. There are those who believe Christian Science to he In rorercrlon of It On that which be Songs to ho realm of n personal experience which J-A not share myself, ; do not dogrnt.- tlKCl Dui X am hot here to deliver a discourse only to introduce, your rpcakcr, Mr. B. -. Hanna !!! now sCdress yvu Gratified at Interest Shown. Judge Hnnnn prefaced hlo address by pnylns high tribute to Mr. Scott and expressing the graliricntlon ho felt at the t Interest manifested by tho representative peoplo of tlicclty. He oompllmsnied Port land hnd the State of Oregon upon its deep Intercut in all matters calculated to Uplift And ennoble. Ills addrcVs wso In part as follows: In appearing before yob for the purpose of ppcaking on the eabject of Christian Science I deem it proper to eay at the outset that, 1 in tho space of a single discourse. I can only touch como of its leading phases. I can only hint, as it were, at 1U teaching. Its alms and Its purposes. I axurao that you have assembled here la no spirit of idlo curiosity or expectation of hear ing that which Is sensational or queer. I take it for granted, rather, that you are here In a spirit of sober, serious Inquiry, to hear what ever Is to bs said, and wlllinr to give re spectful attention and consideration. In this spirit I address sou. It is the dutyof the lecturer upon this sub ject to speak primarily to those who are not Christian Scientists. I shall endeavor to fol low this rule, although I cannot see howfI can speak upon the subject at all without say ing some things to and for Christian Science as well. If I were hero to discourse-upon any ordinary subject, claiming to have something new to present with reference to it, you would natur ally and properly expect me to tell yon some what of my authority for so speaking, and If there was a text-book won the subject jou would wish to know somethlnx of that text book, as well as to hear, at least briefly, of the life and character of the author thereor. The Text Book of the Creed. A few words, then, as to the text-book. This book, of which the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy Is the author, was first published In 1S75. As revised and enlarged at various times since then It has reached at the present time over 277 editions of 1000 copies each. It bears the title of, "Science and Health. With Key to the Scriptures," and contains within Its covers. In comprehensive and comprehensible form, the entire text of Christian Science. More spe cifically .It le a thorou-h exeresfs of the Scriptural method of healing all manner of diseases, and of curing all manner of sin through the understanding of God aa all-present, all-powerful, all-wise and universal mind. In short, this book Is a spiritual interpretation of the Elble: hence Its tltlv "Key to the Scriptures." Mrs. "Eddy Is at one the discoverer and the founder of Christian Science. She discovered for herself bow God had healed he- of a sick ness, the result 6f an accident, which, accord ing to all ordinary evidence, had placed her at the vry door of death. This may be said to have been ker original discovery. This aroused within her a bnrAnr desire to know how God had heeJedjher. and "also to impart to others the krOKledXe ql "hon1 the sick are healed. This led her to search the Scriptures that she might find the healing principle She pursued her search until she found the healing principle to be God, She proved this by heal ing all manner of diseases, and she proved as well that the same understanding of God which healed sickness also destroyed sin. Having so found and proved the healing principle, she proceeded to teach others, to found a college for teachlax this healing system, to found periodicals fo- Its propagation, to found a church wherein the hcallnc gospel" could be preached and expounded through "public serv ices; and the adopted, from time to time, such other propaganda as became necessary to the establishment of a healing and saving religion. That such a system, has been .successfully es tablished, I need not- say, ror It Is matter of common knowledge. Thus I say. Mrs. Eddy Is both a discoverer anc a founder. And what of the life and character of ono who has established such a religious .move ment? I us sure . few worrds In reference to these will he welcomed by every sincere In quirer. Born amid the beautiful but rugged hills of Bow, near Concord, N. H., of sterling and strictly religious parents, descended from a long line of worthy and distinguished ances tors, Mrs. Eddy was favored by nature with adanfages which fitted her for her .future career. Her early environments were such as to nurture and enlarge her Inherited gifts. She was a student by natural bent and In tuition. Her early training has been supple mented by long jears of careful and thorough research and study. She- has studied deeply in many of the higher branches of learning and In general literature. She Is. from every point of view, a woman of sound education and liberal culture. Mrs. Eddy's Religious Character. It may net be amiss for me to say that for nearly ten jears, as former first reader in the mother church In Boston and -editor of the official periodicals, I have had oppertunltles which enable me to speak Intelligently of Mrs. Eddy's life and character, as well as of her labors and literary t tainments. Speaking from this lantage ground I can truthfully say that. Intellectually, she Is one of the most acute persons I have eer seen; that she labors Incessantly and unselfishly for the cause to which she has aevoted her life, and that, notwithstanding her years, she per forms an amount of labor each day which. If known, would seem Incredible, even If -done by one jet In the adolescence of life. As to her religious character. J. speak my profound est conlctlon when 1 say I believe It to be as Christian as Is possible to a person of this earth. I cannot conceive how. a person on this plane of existence could walk moro closely with God. or exemplify a more exalted Chris tian life. And do not the wonderful results of her work, even thus far, prove this? To the many thousands all over the globe who are the con scious beneficiaries of. her work, she has Indeed proved herself to be a religious reformer and a Christian ei angel. I pass now to a consideration of the precepts and principles of Christian Science. The Creed of Christian Science. So far as Christian Science has a creed. It Is found In the tenets of the mother church, which constitute Its declaration of faith. All who become members of this church roust solemnly subscribe to these tenets. They are as follows: First As adherents of truth, we take the Inspired word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal life. Second We acknowledge and adore one su preme and Infinite God we acknowledge one Christ his Son Christ Jesus; the Holy Ghost or the DHlne Comforter, and man his divine Image and likeness. Third Wc acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin In the destruction of sin, and In the under standing that evil and sin are unreal, hence not eternal. But the belief in sin Is punished, so long as It -Justs. Fourth We acknowledge Christ's atonement as tho evidence of divine and efficacious love, unfolding man's unity with God through Jesus Christ the Wayshower. Fifth We acknowledge that man is saved through Christ through dtvlne truth, life and love, as demonstrated by the Galilean prophet in the healing of the sick and the overcoming of sin and death. Also, that the crucifixion of Jesus and his 'resurrection were designed to ejevate human faith and understanding to the spiritual perception of the eternal existence of the good and the real In man. Sixth We solemnly promise to strive, watch and Dray for that mind to bo In us which was also In Christ Jesus; to love one another, and to be meek, merciful, Just and pure. Mrs. Eddy Is the author of these tenets. So much are they a part of the essential teaching of Christian Science that they are Incorporated Into the text-b'ook to which f have referrea. It will readily be seen that these tenets teach not only the highest morality, but the very essence of Christianity. No one can read them without becoming aware that every person who subscribes to them adopts the Bible as his guide and as the Word of God. The sixth and last tenet comprehends all the preceding tenets. The solemn admonition to strive and pray for the mind of Christ Is a call to live the highest possible Christian life. He who attains to that altitude 'of living Wherein he has In him the same mind that was In Christ Jesus Is surely a Christian. He who earnesUy strives and prays for that mind Is surely, to that extent and in that sense, lead ing a Christian IJfe, though he may yet have to travel a lorg way before reaching the high goal. Step by step, he may climb the ladder whose top marks the full measure of the stat ure of manhood In Christ Jesus. The Connection of Sin and Sickness. The world would seem to have lost sight of the relationship between sin and -sickness. This relationship is Ignored not only In theory but In practice. It is even yet boldly maintained that there Is no kinship, between sin as cause and sickness as effect. The Christian Science Uzt nd 1: bacs Its contention upon the unmis sable teaching of the Bible, and especially . Josut, as well as upon common facts. As i theological question., the correctness or in srroctners of this contention must be proved T the Bible. Jesus said of the man sick of .he palsy. In reply to an accusation of a certain sjrlbc that he blasphemed, "Whether Is easier, to eay, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say . . . Arise, take up thy bed and go unto 'hlne house." He cast a devil out of a dumb man. and ths dumb spake. Jesus here treated dumbness as evil, or what we term human orrcr. These Instances ore recorded In the ninth chapter of Matthew. In the tenth chap ter we are told that "when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out. and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease." Here, surely, sin unclean spirits and sjekness are classed together. Many" simi lar instances might be cited, but they are all summed up In his great commission to the tvelvo apostles, wherein Jesus said: "And as ye go, preach, saying. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, ralso the dead, cast out devils.'' Here he dis tinctly couples sickness and sin together, and It will be observed' thaj, sickness comes first on tho list. A chief point In Christian Science Is that SERIOUSLY ILL AT THE mam- " mmWsaSmitgfl' &tt'ti&&mm 1 fry; '... -'X "SdfjSCJ WH Tl MM'iWt t VrQ ' I v- - k, ' "-'. 1 2aiLsi-- &Qs&!tlM&?mM&M mMi i if "iWmmmmA DUCHESS DE 1A BOCHEIOUCAUI.D PARIS. Nov. 15. (Special.) Tho Duchess de la Rochefoucauld Is seriously 111. She was Mattle Mitchell, daughter of United States Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. She had been stopping in the Hotel Rltx, and is so 111 that there Is danger In re moving her to her home. The Duchess has no town house, but spends most of her tme In the Chateau de Montmlrail. near Paris. What causes alarm to her friends Is that her Illness Is the result of complications from an operation for appendi citis In 1002. Scores of friends call dally, bearing sympathy and sending flowers. M. Opolx, overseer of the Luxembourg Gardens, and . Ice-presldcnt of the Horti cultural Society, sends the Duchess her orchids from a plant for which the ama teur paid $4000. book Insists that there is a direct connection, sickness Is not of God. He Is not Its creator. He does not send It. It is no part of his law. It lr. rather, the result of not conforming to his law. This Is surely true of those kinds of sickness that are well known to be the direct result of sin. I do not wish to be understood .-that every kind of sickness Is due to willful disobedience of the divine law. or the law or right living, for I am aware, as you are, that some of the best people the world affords seem to suffer most from some forms of sickness. What I do wish to be understood as saying is that every kind of sickness Is the result of long ages of human error, of stralng away from God's law, and the Innocent suffer with the guilty, because we are all. more or less, under the ban of these long ages of transgression until we come Into an understanding of the divine law by virtue of which these human condlUons may be overcome and destroyed. Jesus came to make known this divine law to mankind, and he did make It known by prov ing the possibility of overcoming these human conditions In his own works. The Cause and Cure of Sickness. It is apparent from what has thus far been said that Christian Science jteaches that sick ness is the result of sin. In its broad definition as human error. Let me briefly explain. All will agree that the sin of lust, or licentious ness, is a prolific cause of sickness. It Is the source of loathsome and fatal diseases. Phy sicians will agree to this. Licentiousness is the outgrowth of Impure thought. Purify thought and Impure conduct ceases. Thus, with the purification of thought and conduct, the fearful and death-dealing diseases resulting from licentiousness are destroyed. Another fruitful and appalling cause of sick ness and death is drunkenness, the excessive use of intoxicating liquors. Destroy the appe tite for liquor, remove the drinking habit, and the varied and horrible forms of sickness flow ing therefrom will cease. Christian Science has proved efficacious in destroying the causes of licentiousness, as well as the appetite for liquor. Thousands of your fellow citizens and mine have risen up and testified to this, and the number Is dally in creasing Many of the cases of redemption from these distressing sins are as pathetic In their circumstances as they are glorious In their outcome. These are among the grosser sins of mortals. They are admitted by all to be wrong. They are the cause of more sickness than all other causes. Remove them, and jou have taken away a percentage of this source of sickness that would go far towards transforming tnis earth Into a paradise. But these ar. not all there Is that produces sickness. Sorrow, grief, the multiplied forms of disappointment, discouragement and depres sion, these mental conditions act upon the physical and bring about many of the disorders and complications which are called physical diseases. I have, in a general way, pointed out the cause or causes of sickness. There Is no sick ness without a cause. This Is the simplest logic Sickness does not come of Itself. There is a cause for every form of it. The true office of the physician or the metaphysician, as the case may be, is to get a? and remove causes, not to doctor effects. The best remedy for those forms of sickness which are known to be the direct result of wrong living. Is to stop the wrong1 living and go to livings rightly. If the cauEe of sickness Js of suclr a nature that the patient Is unaware of it, then the u.ui-c ui me v-ijeiii". w mciB.pnj'aiciB.ii, is vo the cause is found to be, mental and this Is what the Christian Science practitioner always looks for-then the work to be done 1. to reg- ulate or remove this mental cause. The Chris- tian Scientist endeavors to awaken his natlent spiritually and point out to him his true rela tionship to God. This is prayer In the highest sense of the word. ?ot alone the prayer of sincere desire and supplication, but more the realisation of God's all-presence, all-power and all-life, nay, life eternal. Appeal to All Sects. May I not, theft, appeal to all good people, of every belief or sect, to aid us In spreading this healing and saving gospel? May I not deeply, earnestly, and In the most 'ntoraal spirit, ask you to rejojee with us that God. in these latter days, Is sending around thewprld a mighty current of healing truth, and may I not ask you to unite. your voice with ours in pleading for a higher and more general recog nition of. God as all-power, and of 'all that Is opposed to him as baseless and Impotent before his almlghtlness? May I ask. If the day is gone by when God should cease to be almighty? when human error: sin should no longer be overcome and destroyed? when sickness, sorrow, misery and distress should nt longer be striven against until they are annihilated? I ask. In all sin cerity and candor, has the healing and saving Christ been withdrawn from human reach be cause there Is no longer need of such a Christ? And. In this sense, has the day of ( healing mlra'cles passed because there Is now no neces sity for them? As Christian Scientists we maintain, however, that divine healing Is mi raculous only as It Is not understood. All true healing is done through theSmderstandlng of ever-operative law. In the closing' words of the preface, the au thor of the Christian Science text-book thus, tenderly launches her precious volume upon tho ocean of public thought: "In the spirit of Christ's charity as one wno Tiopelh all things, endureth all things,' and is Joyful to bear con solation to the sorrowing and healing' to tho HOTEL RITZ, PARIS sick she commits these pages to honest seek ers for truth." In like spirit, I submit to your earnest, se rious and candid consideration the words to which you have so patiently listened. BUEGLAR SHOT AT HTM. H. M.

Haller, SOI East Sixth street, a burglar Jast night drew his revolver, fought has way from the house and made good his escape. While less- than seyen feet away, the burglar fired a shot at Mr. Haller, but by rare presence of mind Haller avoided the bullet, and got out of range before a second shot could be nrcu. 'I had been out visiting friends," said Mr. Haller, "and the members of my family were with me. As we approached j then unfamiliar with the details of the the house about 9 o'clock In the evening indictment they could not believe that any my wife noticed that there was a light i man with Moody's knowledge of affairs shining from the front parlor.

"I was sure by this time that there was someone In the house that had no busi ness there and started on a run for the front door.

Mr. Heller is a powerfully-built man, and could easily have managed a burglar of. ordinary size had he managed to get him within his grasp. "Come back, he may be armed," cried Mr. Haller's wife, and his two daughters, aged S and 10 years Joined in the request. Mr. Haller, however, was indignant and only ran faster In the direction of the front door. The sound of the women's voices alarmed the burglar, and ai Mr. Haller was ascending the steps the rob Ser opened the front door. Mr. Haller saw the quick flash of a re volver and did perhaps the only thing that ! could have saved his life.

The click of the pistol as It was cocked a second time convinced Mr. Haller that the robber would shoot again, and he sprang to his feet and ran down the street. The burglar evidently preferred escaping to killing a man and fled in an opposite direction.

Forvall troubles arising fror tlon, takt Oregon TCMn t STORM WRECKED WIRES HIGH" WINDS PLAY HAVOC WITH TELEPHONE COMPANY. Nearly 1000 Loal Instruments Put Out of Order and Long Distance Service Interrupted. The damage done by the storm3 of last week to the Portland branch of the Pa cific States Telephone .Company, is esti mated at $20,000. The company has not suffered so much damage from storms be fore In years. "Wires were out all over the city, and for two or three days not a circuit outside of Portland except one could be worked. Destruction was wrought in every direction. Two long distance circuits are still disabled, and there are about IS local wires not In work ing order. Nineteen long-distance cir cuits and nearly 1000 local phones- were put out of service by the storms. Extra forces of repair men have had to be kept at work night and day to put the wires in order again. In many places poles were felled, and crossarms" and wires were I broken. ' This havoc necessarily resulted in a tying up of telephone business, both In the city and over the state. Trouble is still being experienced in many places. but the coiripany Is rushing the repair j work with all possible speed. . The bulk of the damage suffered by the I company was done by the storm of I Wednesday. The gale of that day and i night felled trees across the wires along the routes of the long-distance lines, I smashlnc crossarms and bringing the ' wires to the ground. The morning after , the storm every circuit out of the city i was out of commission, with the exception I of one. The only outside place that could 1 be reached was Llnnton. Five circuits ' to the east. Ave to the north, two to the west and seven to the south were out, and there was no communication between , Portland and outside cities. The Tllla- i mook line Is Btill down. "Where the lines ran through timbered districts, the greatest trouble was en countered. The gale blew trees across the wiros, tearing them to the ground, and in many Instances snapping the pole In two. Much of the Tillamook line was de 1 stroyed In this manner, as was al30 the Crescent City line, which has not been entirely repaired yet. The day after the storm men who are kept stationed along the long-distance lines were seiTt out to do repair work, but It was "soon found that the damage was of i such extent that the small forces of these stations were inadequate to cope with the ' situation. The result was that several gangs of men had to be sent out from Portland to assist In the work. Some of 4hese gangs are still In service. It took two days after the storm, to get the lines to the north and east in shape to be used. It took almost as long to. repair the circuits to the west; but to tlte south the gale apparently was not so severe, and less difficulty was met with. A good deal of the reoair work that has been done Is onlv tpmNirarv. Jippnrfllmr tn thf atnt- ment of J. H. Thatcher, manager of "the company, and more extensive work will have to be done later. The damage In the City of Portland from the blow was principally from the cross- I lhg of wires and short-circuiting, which was jusl as eiiecuve in tne matter oi put ting the phones out of commission as n break would have been The most diffi culty was on the east side of the river. i where not less than 500 lines were out of service. On the weBt side about 300 lines were affected. Repair men have been kept busy since the storm, straightening out tho tangles, and still more work remains to be done. "We found a few poles down in the east ern portion of the city," said Mr. Thatch er, "but there was little trouble from this pource. We are doing all we can to mend the disabled wires, and hope, within a very short time, to have everything In good working order once more." EXPLANATORY STATEMENT. It Is Subtle, but Seems to Set Mat ters Right. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 15. The recent telegram sent by the Oregon delegation to District At torney Hall, declaring that they never at any time expressed an opinion about the grand Jury's Indictment of ex-Congressman Moody would tend to give the Im pression that the delegation had never passed comment upon Moody's probable guilt or Innocence. In this respect the delegation's message is misleading, for as stated In a dispatch to The Oregonian un der date of October 29: "Both Oregon Senators had previous knowledge that tho indictment was forth coming but are free to express doubt that I 'YTrtnl v In nv v fa m tmA tI f T tVio statea' Theay the case i against hIm appears flimsy and unreas onable. This statement correctly represents opin ions expressed at the time by both Sena- tor Mitchell and Senator Fulton. While ; tho two Senators explained that they were certainly knew the seriousness of tamper Ing with the malls and would not likely lay himself open to prosecution for such a well-known violation of the law. While they thought It unreasonable to suppose that Receiver Thomson, of the La Grande Land Office, would attempt to so licit a bribe at a time when every one knew of the searching investigation that was then being made all over Oregon for all sorts of land frauds, they expressed the belief- that it would be even more foolish for Moody to have held up mall belonging to another when he might know that such an action on his part could be used with good effect by his enemies, Both Senators were very" doubtful if Thomson had violated the law, but both said It was even more Improbable that Moody should have laid himself open to prosecution for Interfering with another's mail. At no time did the Senators pass comment on the action of the grand Jurj in bringing In the Indictment, for they said they knew nothing of the facts. .But they did express the opinion that there was as much reason to doubt Moody's guilt as to doubt that Thomson was guilty as Indicted. The opinion of the Senators was asked as to whether or not the Indictment had been brought about by Moody's political enemies, and both explained that so far as they knew the persons who figured In the case were not particularly Identified with Oregon politics. Therefore they inclined to believo that the case hod not been worked up for political purposes. If the delegation's message to District Attorney Hall was as carefully worded as Senator Mitchell's statement quoted last night, they do not deny having made comments such as are above referred to, though the Impression may be given that at no time did they express doubt of Moody's guilt.

While Representative Williamson at a later date discussed the indictment at some length, but "not for publication," he expressed no opinion as to whether the in dictment was justified or not.
