ALLEGES ATTEMPTED SWINDLE
W. B. Haines Makes Get-Rich-Quick
Charges In Answer to Suit.
W. B. Haines, who has been sued by E.
H. Wahl to recover $550. yesterday made
answer in the State Circuit Court that
he executed the notes to William R.
"White .& Co. of Bloomington, 111., for an
Interest in a get-rlch-quick scheme, which
has since been suppressed by the United
States postal authorities, and Wahl con
sequently has no legal right to collect
the notes.
Haines says he was induced by J. C.
Graham, a friend and lodge brother, to
go from Portland to Bloomington to In
vest in White & Co.'s project, which was
described as a patent gate, and White &
Co. agreed to sell him outright the patent
right for one county for $1500 and the
right to sell in 1792 counties in the United
States for prices ranging from JS00 to
$1500, and upon all sales he was to re
ceive 60 per cent.
Haines alleges that he paid 3403 cash
and gave the company notes for $550,
part of which Graham received as com
mission. Haines says he was authorized
to send persons to Bloomington to the
office of Wm. R. White & Co. to purchase
county rights and did so. and also to the
office of the company in Portland, but the
company and its agents refused to sen.
assorting that there was no territory for
sale. J. B. Gossage, who had $1500 to in
vest, and C. H. Peterson are mentioned
as prospective purchasers. The reason
of the refusal of the company to do fur
ther business, Haines avers, was be
cause the scheme was under Investigation
by the postal authorities, and was finally
closed by the Government. Long & Sweek
appear as counsel for the defense.

CHARGE IS HANGING FIRE.
Judge Investigating Charges Made
Against Rockpile Guard.
No action has yet been taken, by
Judge George concerning the charge
made by Oliver Harrington, one of
the county rockpile prisoners, that
Guard J. F. Johnson has been cruel to
him. except to make a number of In
quiries into the facts as presented.
Judge George conferred with Judge
Sears, who sentenced Harrington, and
the latter expressed the opinion that
the prisoner is a bad man. Johnson,
the guard, had a brief Interview by
telephone with Judge George, denying
that he struck Harrington and stating
.further that the man is troublesome
and lary, and Interfered with the dis
cipline of other prisoners.
"There you are. said Judge George
yesterday. T have done nothing yet.
I don't want to Interfere with an offi
cer because he is strict and stern and
pakca tAsxacn .work, Saat is what
they are there for. At the same time
he should not be brutal to the prison
ers. There Is reason in all things."
Judge Webster, under whose super
vision Johnson is employed, said: T
Jon't know anything about it. I have
investigated charges before " against
Johnson and found them unfounded."

BOOSTER DEFIES THE PUBLIC

"There is a very large rooster at Fifth
and Montgomery streets. He is in the
habit of squaring off and fighting passing
pedestrians, and he has also been known
to attack persons in vehicles. This cock-of-the-walk
Is also liable to arrest, I
think, as he is said to expectorate on
the cement at times. What shall I do?"
Such was the report of Mounted Patrol
man White to Chief of Police Hunt last
night. What action will be taken is not
yet known, but the matter is under con
sideration, and a general order will prob
ably be Issued tomorrow.
According to Patrolman White's report,
experienced officers say tne rooster can
be arrested for disorderly conduct, by
fighting; for violation of the anti-splttlng
ordinance and assault and battery.

STRIKE IS DYIK9
Workmen Returning to
Their Tasks.
LEADERS ASK FOR WORK
American Inn Has Full Com
plement of Men.
PLASTER PANELS TO BE USED
By This Method the Need of Plaster
ers Will Be Done Away With,
and the Building Rap
idly Completed.
About the last gasp of the dying strike
at the Fair grounds was breathed yes
terday when the leaders in the walk-out
on the American Inn came back and sp
oiled for work. Thev said that thov hnrt
resigned from their union and made no j
conditions, rne American Inn has now
a full complement of men, with over 100
on the payroll, and work Is progressing
very ranidlv-.
"During the last few days I have been !
able to cet all thn men T mish " sniA Mr
Wuerster, who has the contract for the
Inn. "As far as I am concerned there is
no strike."
As this was the ruilding most affected
during the strike, and the crew there the
slowest to be filled, the other contractors
are on easy street with men to spare,
when the American Inn has a full force.
Work on the Government building Is pro
gressing as rapidly as announced, the last
truss on the roof now standing In posi
tion. That task done, the front of ono
of the towers and the back of the other
lathed, and the Government building will
be ready for the plasterers. The entire
rear and both wings are finished com
pletely now and several large pieces of
staff work have been hung over the main
archways.
Plasterers Are Needed.
The matter of plasterers is the only seri
ous question among the contractors, and
they believe that they will be able to
finish their buildings without being forced
to come to terms with the union. J. E.
Bennett has a force of ten men, about half
what he might -use, and he is the only
one affected. Tinker and De Gcsen, using
none but union men, are in a position, to
finish their work when they please.
But the Job of plastering the American
Inn Is gone. Mr. Wuerster said yesterday
that to do the entire Job by ordinary
methods would cost about $24,000. a large
share of which would go to workmen. But
he fears the continuance of the strike (oo
much to use ordinary methods. His work
is In the interior and must be done im
mediately, while the other contractors
have mainly outside work which could be
done later If necessary. He has ordered
plaster panels to do the entire work,
which are now on the way here.
No Agreement Reached.
There has been some difficulty In ascer
taining the progress of the conferences
held between the contractors and labor
leaders within the last fow days. It is
now known, however, that agreement
could not be reached solely on the ques
tion of "closed shop." The contractors
agreed to give the hours and pay the
wages asked, but they would not axxeo
to hire none but union men. As the strlk-"
era wore holding out for a "closed" Fair
above all things, no terms of peace could
be arranged.
The board of governors of the Building
Trades Alliance, which has been handling
tne present strike, have said, through C.
H. Gram, that they are still confident that
the strike will succeed. Their pickets
have been at the gates to see who are
working on the grounds, 'but as reported
in yesterday's Issue of The Oregonlan. Mr.
Gram, speaking for the board of gover
nors, has announced that they will use
none but peaceable means in trvinxr to
dissuade men from breaking the strike and
returning to work.
CIVIC AUXILIARY MEETS.
Women Plan for Campaign in Inter
ests of the "City Beautiful."
Very little was accomplished at the
meeting of the Women's Auxiliary to the
Civic Improvement Board, held at the
Chamber of Commerce yesterday after
noon. This is the first regular meeting
that has been held by the auxiliary since
its organization. There were soveral
dozen enthusiastic women present, be
sides President Wheelwright and S. H.
G ruber, who offered suggestions as to the
best way to co-operate with the Civic
Improvement Board.
Mrs. H. EL Jones, chairman, and Mrs.
W. Wynn Johnson, secretary, were ap
pointed on a committee of five which in
turn will appoint vice-chairmen who will
superintend the work in the different
wards of the dry. Mrs. C. C Chapman,
Mrs. Grace Watt Ross and Mrs. W. B.
Ayer wero appointed the other members
of the committee. The vice-chairmen of
th different wards of the city, to be ap
pointed later, will have charge of all the
civic Improvement work done by the
Women's Auxiliary in that particular vi
cinity. The wards will be subdivided
into districts to be in charge of captains,
who will report to the vice-presidents.
This is directly similar to the system of
procedure adopted by the Civic Improve
ment Board. It was adopted by the wo
men on the recommendation of President
Wheelwright, so that the two organiza-
