CHECK TO PRACTICE
Oregon Criminal Laws Cannot
Be Usedio Collect Debts,
ORDER PRISONER DISCHARGED
Govirnor Chamberlain Advises Gov
rnorPardeef of California,' Th'at
He Is Being Imposed Upon by
Fugitive's Creditors.
SALEM, Or., 'tJpL 12. (Special.) ?e
cause the criminal laws of Oregon are
being used as a means of enforcing the
settlement of a civil claim. Governor
Chamberlain lias ordered the immediate
discharge of Aleck Axelrod, who has been
under arrest at Hlllsboro for several days.
The Governor has also written to Gover
nor Pardee, of California, calling his at
tention to the facts and advising him that
ihe has been imposed upon. This is one Jn
etance of Governor Chamberlain's efforts
to put a stop, to the employment of crim
inal process as a means of enforcing civil
obligations.
The facts in the matter came to the Gov
ernor's attention today in a letter from
Justice of the Peace H. T. Bagley. of
Hlllsboro. Axelrod was arrested October 6
charged with being a fugitive from Jus
tice in California. Under section 17S0 of
the Code it was the duty of the Justice
'to notify the Governor at once of the
arrest, nut this he did not do. In his let
ter he says:
I have not heretofore notified you for the
reason that I was advised that requisition
papers have teen Issued by the Governor of
the State of California and were in the
hands of an officer who would appear forth
with. It appears, however, that the com
plaining' witness against Mr. Axelrod has
been holding: the officer In the State of Cali
fornia and has himself visited this state with
a view of securing: a settlement; hence it
appeared to me unnecessary to immediately
notify you of the action taken by me. Inas
much as an agent had already been ap
pointed by the Governor of the State of
California.
To this letter Governor Chamberlain re
plied at once, saying in part:
If the complaining: witness against the de
fendant is in your city attempting to nego
tiate a settlement with him, the defendant
ought to be discharged by you summarily.
In order to procure the Issuance of a war
rant of extradition from the Governor of
California it must have appeared to the
Governor of that state as a condition prece
dent to the issuing of such writ, that It was
sot sought for the purpose of having the de
fendant returned to California for the col
lection of a debt, and that seems to be the
purpose which the prosecuting witness had
In View when he imposed upon the Governor
of California and Induced him to issue a
writ for the 'return of the defendant to Cali
fornia. I thank you for having notified me of the
pendency of the proceedings against Axelrod.
and trust that you will not allow your court
to be made a party to the attempt which is
being made to force the defendant to pay a
debt.
"Writing to Governor Pardee Governor
i;namDeriain incioseo. a copy or justice
Bagley's letter and a copy of his letter to
Bagley, and said:
Tou will see from both lnclosures that you
have been imposed upon by some one who
is attempting to Use the process of California
as well as that of Oregon for the purpose of
compelling an unfortunate devil to pay a
debt. I know nothing about the case except
what appears from the lnclosures and my
opinion is based entirely thereon. I know
how difficult it Is to sift the motives of in
dlvlduals In cases of extradition, and I feel
that when we are Imposed upon we ought to
make examples of the persons who impose
upon us.
Several times Governor Chamberlain
has learned that extradition proceedings
have been made the means of enforcing
civil demands, but usually this fact does
not develop until after the proceedings are
over. Recently the Governor Issued requi
sition papers and had a man brought back
to Oregon from another state upon t
criminal charge. Immediately the com
plalnant secured a settlement with the
man charged with the crime and then re
fused to prosecute the criminal charge.
When the claim was presented for the
expense of hrlnglng the man back to Ore
gon, Governor Chamberlain refused to
approve it and the claim was not paid.
One of the most notorious cases of the
abuse of the process of extradition oc
curred during the last year of Governor
Geer's administration, when Cashier Pay,
of the Washington Life Insurance Com
pany, in Portland, was seized and hustled
out of the state without having a fair
chance to be heard or to consult attor
neys.
VALUATIONS IN MARION.
Greater by $1,000,000 This Year
Than Last.
SALEM, Or.. Oct. 12. (Special.) The
total value of taxable property in Marion
County In lXH is 51.000.000 greater than In
1903, as shown by the assessment sum
mary completed by County Clerk J. W.
Roland today. Of this Increase $050,000 is
due to the fact that no exemptions ore al
lowed th.!s year, so that the real Increase
in valuations amounts to only $350,000.
The increase in taxable property is 10 per
cent upon tne total for last year.
The increase is not due to raised valua
tions upon any particular class of prop
erty, for there have been advances in al
most every class. The amount of money
assessed this year is $213,000, or nearly
double what it was last year. At the
same time there was a corresponding de
crease In notes and accounts, the valua'
tlon of this class of property dropping
from $308,000 to $205,000. The valuation on
money, notes and accounts, therefore, re
mains unchanged. Because of the re
moval of the exemption on household
goods, the valuation of this class of prop
erty went up $120,000. There is an increase
of $25,000 on Ullable lands and-$50.000 on
nontlllahle lands, the rate of increase in
the latter class being a little -greater than
the rate of increase in acreage. There
was an increase of $50,000 on merchandise.
The summary is as follows:

EXAMINATION FOR OXFORD
Will Bs Held In Oregon in Middle of
January.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
Or.. Oct 12. (SnetlaL) President Camp
bell, chairman of the committee of. se
lection for the Rhodes scholarships in
Oregon, has Just received notice from Dr.
Parkin, agent of the Rhodes trust that
the qualifying examination for the
Rhodes' scholarship for 1905 will bo held
not later than the middle of January next.
Dr. Parkin says that this early date Is
necessary for the reason that so much
delay has occurred this year in getting
returns from some of the committees of
selection that It has proved impossible to
distribute the elected scholars through
out the colleges (of Oxford) with due ref
erence to their own wishes.
Most of the Oxford colleges consider
their entrance lists for the Autumn dur
ing tho Summer term, and several have
them entirely made up before the end of
that term in June. In some cases the
names of the elected scholars for this
year, and their credentials which are re
quired before admission, did not reach the
trustees until late In August The result
was that many of the colleges had already
closed their lists, and the late applicants
had no opportunity of having their claims
considered by the colleges of their prefer
ence.
The exact dato for tho qualifying; ex
amination will be announced in a few
weeks. The examination in Oregon will
probably be held in Portland, and will be
conducted on lines very similar to those
followed this year. This year tho Univer
sity of Oregon was the only institution in
the state that sent a candidate to the ex
aminations. Every institution in the state
ot collegiate rank is permitted to send a
candidate to the qualifying examination.
and from those passing the examination
the committee of selection chooses the
one whom they consider best fitted, ac
cording to the terms of the Rhodes will,
to represent Oregon at Oxford.

up Job on the part of Kelley, and that he
thinks that Kelley did the work himself
and that the motive for the act was to
make people believe he had been robbed.
Kelley had set the time for hia wedding
and did not have sufficient money to carry
out his arrangements. The robbery pre
tense was for an excuse. The wire with
which he was bound was cut from the
clothesline in use atth"e home of Mrs.
Calvin, where Kelley roomed, and his
hands were so loosely bound that not a
mark was made on the wrists.
Sheriff Huntington discovered that when
Kelley was released by Sid Jones, the
man who discovered him tied to a tree,
he walked into town so fast that he ar
rived ahead of Jones. Kelley was arrested
by the Marshal of Kelso and put in Jail
as soon as he arrived In town after his
release by Jones, on a warrant sworn out
by Mrs. Calvin charging Kelley with In
sanity. The alleged victim of whltecaps
ate a substantial supper after reaching
town, and did not show any signs of col
lapse until after supper.
The place where Kelley said he had
been bound, says tho Sheriff, Is within 150
yards of a gang of men building a mill,
who could easily have heard him had he
called to them when he was attacked.
Dr. Bird, William iysons and Will Robb
stood under the big maple tree and talked
for- half an hour at the time Kelley would
have had to pass by 1 he went where and
when be said he did.
Kelley has told many conflicting stories
about the matter, and now refuses to say
anything tp the Sheriff, but declares his
case is in the hands of detectives. A few
have believed from the first that Kelley
was himself responsible for the whole
matter, and that opinion is now pretty
general. Although Kelley alleged he bad
been bound for four days, his clothing
was not soiled.
