10 J?HE JHOE3SING XDRBGONIAN, SATURDAY, . APBIL 22, -1905. ENEY REMAINS FOR ft WHILE Cannot Go to San Francisco Until Some Time During the Coming Week. IS HELD BY FRAUD CASES Judge Bellinger's Decision on the Abatement Plea Will Have a Far-Reaching Effect, Which--ever Way It 3Iay Be. Francis J. Heney "will remain awhile in Portland, having found that tho duties of his office -will not allow of his returning: to San Francisco until perhaps the middle of the next week. The United States District Attorney is now busily engaged in arranging a brief on the Mitchell case, and this duty, with the detail work of the office, has kept the time full since the argument of Monday last Practically all of the defendants have now been arraigned, and either by pleas in abatement or denials of guilt have taken the first steps In tho trials pending for them. A great deal of interest centers around the decision of Judge Bellinger in regard to the Mitchell plea of abatement, which will be handed down on Monday next. If the decision is In favor of the Govern ment, as the consensus of opinion seems to indicate, their the defendants will be asked to plead on the indictments against them, and matters will be left practically in abeyance until such time as the work on the Federal building will permit a re liable date to be set for the occupancy of the new courtroom. As soon as it is known when the court can move into its new quarters, the Jury will be called and the cases set for trial. A great deal of uncertainty in procedure would arise if the decision In regard to the plea of abatement should be decided by the court In favor of the defendants. If the Judge should so stipulate in his decision It would be necessary for the pleas to be tried before a jury as to the questions of fact involved. This action would delay the time of the trial proper for weeks, as it would not be possible to try the pleas until after the regular jury had been empaneled. In any event, however, Mr. Heney will have to let his private business In San Francisco accumulate for a while longer before he can leave Portland. He will probably start for the South near the middle of the week, and will remain In California for the greater part of May. MORE PLEAS IX ABATEMENT. Brownell and Sorenson Follow Sena tor 3Iitchell's Course in Court. Senator Brownell and George Sorenson appeared before the Federal Court yester day morning for their arraignment on land-fraud indictments. Senator Brownell was there to answer to a charge of sub ornation of perjury. In which he is al leged to have induced Fred Slevers and John Howland to swear falsely in regard to affidavits of survey made by Brownell for some of the Henry Meldrum surveys. Sorenson is charged with perjury in hav ing sworn falsely while on trial in the Federal Court on a charge of attempted bribery- Both Senator Brownell and So renson filed pleas in abatement, with the stipulation that the decision to be ren dered Monday morning on the Mitchell plea should govern the fate of their indi vidual pleas. Practically all of the land fraud defendants have now appeared be fore the court for their arraignment, and but few of the preliminary details remain before the cases are set for trial. results. After showing these things Pro fessor Pratt then explained in detail how to bud a tree from scions. Since the talk was delivered. Professor Pratt has been called on dally to enlarge on what he said by further explanation of the budding processes and to explain to pupils about rose culture. He said he never saw children more interested in any branch of Information, and while it took up considerable of his time, he glad ly gave all pupils Information who wanted him to do so. DEMOCRATS HAVE POWWOW They Decide That Hereafter All Speakers 3Iust Answer Questions. Members of the Young Men's Democrat ic Club didn't have much to talk about at their weekly meeting last night, but they talked, just the same, and when done they had touched on several lively subjects. The brethren decided that whenever, anybody in future should address them on any topic whatsoever, he should be ready to answer any reasonable questions that might be propounded by theni. The gentlemen wished to let it be known that they did not approve of such conduct as that of George H. Thomas, who, after addressing them a week before, declined to be quizzed on his remarks. The club considered the direct-primary law a very fine piece of legislation, in deed, because it prevented the Democratic party from consorting with a disgruntled Republican faction and from playing to Its whims and toadying to its bosses. And at the tall end of their deliberations they adopted resolutions thanking The Oregonian and the Telegram, "the two Democratic papers of Portland." for their "courteous and kind treatment" In print ing the news of their meetings. In order to have a hall more in keeping with the dignity of the club and nearer the street, so that the brethren would not have to climb three flights of stairs, they voted to secure a hall at Second and Mor rison streets, if possible. There Colonel Bob Miller will address the club next Tuesday evening. The new hall. In the opinion of Golonel J. P. Burkhart, was a good place to "talk in and spit tobacco and smoke." When the possibility of the club's having to give bond for the hall was mentioned, William Horan objected, saying that bonds were a Republican trick. ' Among those present were: President G. "W. Allen, S. C. Armltage. L. Wilhelm, Colonel J. P. Burkhart, J. G. Maybrunn. L. A. Pcery, N. A. Peery, Johnson White and William Horan. LOSS QUITE MARKED How Registration for Primary Has Fallen Down. GAIN IN THREE PRECINCTS TOLD HOW T0GR0W TREES Professor Pratt, Williams-Avenue School, Gives Practical Lesson. Professor M. Ll Pratt, principal of the Willlame-Avenue school, since Arbor day has been demonstrating what may be done in the way of practical Instructions in tree planting, grafting and budding. He had a small tree, with roots and all, brought into the assembly hall of the school, and In the course of a short lec ture explained just how it grew and how it derived its life from the soil and from the atmosphere. He used the tree to illustrate Its step In the process of tree culture and tree growth, and how a tree should be transplanted to insure the best WHEN TELEPHONE RANG. Police Station Excited Over Latest Report Made. The telephone at the police station rang early the other morning, and as Captain Bailey happened to be absent. Sergeant Taylor, who has just returned from his wedding trip, picked up the re ceiver. He listened for a few seconds, and thon his face turned to an ashen hue. With trembling hand and blanched cheek e dropped the receiver to the desk and called for help. The policemen around the station were dumfounded. At last. Sergeant Taylor, who had rounded up many ' a desperate man, had lost his nerve, they thought. They believed he had received news of some terrible murder or catastrophe. "What is it?" asked one of the police men in alarm. "Take the 'phone, quick." whispered the Sergeant, who had collapsed in a chair. "Hello," said Jailer Llllls, who picked up the 'phone. "Is this the police station 1 inquired a proud voice. "Yes." "Well, this is Patrolman Pones talking. I just wanted to, tell you that we have twins out to the house. I told the first man that came to the 'phone about it, but he rang off with a gasp. I guess that was Sergeant Taylor, wasn't It?" There have been several additions to the families of the policemen lately. Pa trolman Galbreath has also been blessed with a baby. Mail Sack Lost En Route. The loss of an inner registered mailsack, sent from Woodburn to Portland a week ago. Is causing tho postal officials of these cities much worry at present. This sack, with contents valued at $500, since it was sealed, locked and dispatched on the train has not been seen, and all trace of It has been lost. Inspector Butler, to whom the matter has been turned over, thinks that the missing sack has been placed within some other pouch by mistake, and that it will shortly be found. In the meantime every effort is being made to locate it BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is Cuttins Teeth, Be sure ana um that old and well-tried remedy. Mrs. TVlnslow'o Soothlnc Syrup, for children teething.

In All Others There Is Decrease, Compared With That of Last Year, Especially on Water Front and in Alblna. Only three precincts in the city show a larger number of electors registered for the primaries May 6 than for the pri maries in March of last year. Many show a heavy decrease. In Alblna, on the pe ninsula, near the river between Washing ton and Moade streets, and In the North End. The three with the Increase are Precinct 22. bounded by Seventh and Fourteenth streets. Main and Jefferson; Precinct 28, adjoining it on the south, bounded by Tenth and Fourteenth streets, Jefferson and Harrison: Precinct 45, bounded by East Ankenr and East Stark, the river and East Twelfth.

The blooms arc unusually large and the coloring beautiful. only three-fourths, as large for this year's primaries as for last. In March the total registered was 17,345: on April 14 this year the total was 13.51S. Where the Proportion Is Large. Residence parts of the city show the larger proportionate registration, com' pared with the figures of one year ago, especially the Seventh Ward, which com prises that part of the East Side south of Hawthorne avenue, where the total is- five-sixths as large as a year ago. The northeast part of the city also Is ahead of the general ratio: likewise the res! dence parts of the West Side south of Washington. F. S. Fields, County Clerk, has compiled figures of registration by precincts. Barely more than half of the electors registered are registered for the primaries. The to tal number registered In the city for the primaries next month and for the election In June Is 24.6S0: for the primaries the number Is 13,100 Republicans and Demo crats. It would appear that perhaps 10.- 000 Republicans and Democrats registered GREAT ENGLISH PREACHER WILL CONDUCT SERVICES FOR A WEEK REV. F. B. METER, the great preach er, of London, England, Is scheduled to arrive in Portland tonight, and will be gin a series of meetings to be held in this city tomorrow. Mr. Meyer is one of the foremost preachers of the world today, and a writer whose books are looked upon wherever the English language is read as among the most helpful of all religious works. He has been in the United States a number of times before, having come here first in connection with the work of Dwight L. Moody, and Shaving since the death of Mr. Moody visited many times the great religious conferences of North field, Mass., which Mr. Moody founded: The great preacher is known by his books throughout America, and is per sonally know in many of the great cities of the East and South, but has never be fore visited 5the Pacific Coast. He has just finished a series of meetings in Los Angeles, where a widespread interest has been aroused, and comes directly from that city to Portland. Mr. Meyer is accompanied Ty an Ameri can preacher and evangelist of note. Rev. H. W. Pope, who has for many years been connected with the work founded by Dwight li. Moody. Mr. Pope has been prominent in the religious conferences at Northfleld and has been very successful in conducting institutes and evangelistic meetings throughout the country- The two men have been working together on this trip, the work of the American, who is particularly strong along the lines of instruction in personal work, admirably supplementing1 the preaching of the dis tinguished Englishman. The series of meetings conducted by Mr. Meyer and Mr. Pope in Portland will con tinue for eight days, beginning tomorrow morning, when Mr. Meyer will preach at the First Congregational Church. Tomor row afternoon at 3 o'clock he will address a meeting for men only at the Marquam Theater. At 3:30 o'clock Mr. Pope will address a meeting for women only at the White Temple.

B. 3 EE YE R, OF CHRIST CHURCH, LONDON. for the June election-are not registered for the primaries. It has been supposed that, the North End would show the greatest decrease be cause many of Its denizens have left town since the reform wave arrived. But while that part of the city has fallen off in registration beyond the general ratio of the entire city, precincts In other parts of the city have fallen off more, for ex ample. Precinct 54, in Alblna; Precinct 58, In Portsmouth: Precincts 14, 16, IS. 21. 23. 24, 2S, 31 and 32, all contiguous and front ing on the river between Washington and Meade. North End precincts which have fallen off more than proportionately with the entire city are Precinct 2, north of Sa vler and east of Twenty-fourth, and Pre cinct 9, east of Park and between Everett and Burnslde.

CREAM IN INT III W Boys, Men and Women Join in the Chase for Offender. HE DECOYED LITTLE CHILD When Caught, the Man Begged the police to Shoot Him, Saying That He AVished He Was Dead. Fifty boys from the Whliams-A venue School, a squad of reserve policemen from headquarters and many women and men of the vicinity engaged in a sensational hunt through the jungle of Montgomery Gulch for an hour yesterday afternoon for a man who was trying to make off with pretty little Ruth Reiter, aged 5 years. In his flight, the man dropped the girl and sped on to escape the vengeance of the Infuriated throng. He made for tho dense woods and underbrush In the gulch and was soon lost to view. While dozens of people were searching for him. a tele phone message to Captain Grltzmacher, at headquarters, summoned reserves. In a patrol wagon the policemen hurried to the scene and Joined In the man hunt. After combing the growth In the gulch for an hour, the man was found by Po licemen Goltz, Patton. Quinton and Wen dorf. He was lying face downward, try ing to hide from his pursuers. When captured, he refused to rise, but was Jerked to his feet by the officers. Men, women and children nocked in from all directions, and the prisoner trem bled violently. He begged the officers to shoot him, saying he wished himself dead. Through the woods the officers dragged their prisoner to the residence of the Relters, 4S3 Williams avenue, where the mother and little Ruth were In waiting. He burled his face In his hands and re fused to face his accusers, but policemen pried down his arms, and he was imme diately Identified as the man who coaxed the child from her home an hour before by promising her candy. The prisoner was taken to police head quarters, where he refused to give his name. Late In the afternoon he told Jailer Branch his name was John Rich ardson, but this Is believed to be ficti tious. Of the boys, who Joined in the search, WUHam Jennings, Frank Elliott. Jesse Cartney and Rudolph Hoesly were of great service to the officers, as they knew the paths through the woods and the most likely hiding-places. It was largely through their assistance in leading the policemen that the prisoner was caught, according to Warrant Officer Goltz. ; A charge of disorderly conduct was . placed against the prisoner at headquarc- ters, and he will be arraigned before Mu- ; nlclpal Judge Hogue today. A more serl- ; ous Information may be laid at that time. 1 afternoon services being held in the First Presbyterian Church and the evening services In the White Temple. This series of meetings is under the direction of the General Ministerial As sociation, and is a union movement It is expected, however, that the meetings will not be evangelistic in their charac ter. Mr. Meyer Is not, in the generally accepted sense of the word, ah evangelist, but he Is a preacher who advocates for nil' the bisher ChrlstlanTJie. W There are no less than four teen remedies in this standard family medicine. Among them we might mention sarsaparilla root3 yellow dock root, stillingia root, buck thorn bark, senna leaves, burdock root, cimi- cifuga root, cinchona bark, Phytolacca root. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is certainly. medicine, a genuine medicine, a doctor's medicine. i mm SOCIALISTS NAME A TICKET John AAV Shrnder Is Nominated for OfTice of Mayor.

TRANSMISSION LINE BURNS Cuts Off PoAver for Electric .Lights and Car Service. The city was thrown Into darkness last night at 9:45 o'clock and the car service paralyzed by the burning out of the main transmission line of the Portland General Electric Company's wire at Fulton.
