GINS TRIAL
OF R. M. ffllffl
First ' Defendant in Tanner
Creek Sewer. Scandal Is
Before Jury.
'DEFENSE SHOWS ITS HAND
Attorney Declares That No Contract
Existed Between His Client and
the City and That the In
dictincnt Is Defective.
A.' mas -with scant gray hair, nervously
chewing a'quld of tobacco In a manner
that made his fhort. stubby muctache
hob up and down like 'a shuttle, sat in
Judge George's courtroom yesterday af
ternoon vainly trying to catch what was
going on before him with the aid of an
ancient and much-ueed ear trumpet.
Eighty years had passed over his shoul
ders, and 40 of those years had passed
and had been registered on the calendar
of time as a resident of Portland. He
was R. M. Riner. who, with his son, B.
11. Riner; W. C. Elliott. ex-City Englpeer;
Henry Chandler, who was a surveyor In
Mr. Elliott's office, and J. M. Caywood, a
sewer and street Inspector, were Indicted
In connection with the Tanner-Creek
sewer.
This little gray man, with his four-score
years that have passed Irrevocably, to
gether with his son, were the contractors
that constructed the now Justly famous
Tanner-Creek sewer, a contract that the
state, through District Attorney John
Manning, will attempt to prove was a
steal. The Indictment under which H. 3L
Riner will be tried says that Riner made
and filed certificates that he had com
pleted the work on the sewer, following
out the provisions of his contract; that
these certificates were false, and that he
tried to obtain money by false pretenses'.
Like the rest of the defendants who were
Indicted, Riner demanded a separate trial,
and his case Is the first to be taken up by
the court In connection with this scandal,
and Rincr's trial, and In fact all of the
others will be watched with considerable
interest by the taxpayers. The construc
tion of the Tanner-Creek sewer was a no
toriously bad piece of work. W. C. Elliott,
Chandler and Caywood passed on the job
and It was accepted.
Rumors of "Graft."
Even before It was accepted, there were
all sorts of stories floating around about
the way the work was done. The rumors
of "graft" in connection with this newer
finally became so warm that an investi
gation resulted and the exposure was
complete. City Engineer Elliott was
forced to resign and there was a general
cleaning out of his office. The result of
the Investigation of the construction of
this bit of city sanitation did not stop
with the retirement of Elliott, and those
who were with him in the "passing upon
and acceptance of this work. While the
Investigation was going on, that Multno
mah County grand jury which became fa
mous for Its promiscuous Indictments was
in session. It hardly took an invitation
to get this grand jury busy with the Tanner-Creek
sewer scandal, nor was It long
before It handed out indictments against
Jill who had to do with the building of
this city drainage. As a result of these
indictments, each man, in turn, will come
up for trial, and as each case is unraveled
before the jurors who will hear the evi
dence, the taxpayers will learn just for
what and how their money has been
spent.
The time in yesterday's trial was prin
cipally spent in obtaining a Jury and a
lot of preliminary legal sparring by Ed
Mendenhall, who, with his brother, A. R.
Mendenhall, is defending Riner. As oppo
nents to these clever two lawyers in the
legal arena are District Attorney John
Manning and his deputy, Gus Moscr. The
prosecution. In outlining its defense, con
tended that It would prove that Riner
had attempted to obtain money by false
pretences when he filed certificates that
he had completed the work in accordance
with the terms of his contract For Riner,
Attorney Mendenhall contended that the
prosecution could not prove any of the
allegations In the indictment. Before the
trial had got fairly under way. It was
clear what Attorney Mendenhall's attitude
would be, that of not admitting the ex
istence of a contract beween the city and
his client Riner. The attorney for the
defense argued long and earnestly, first
ngainst the statute under which the in
dictment was drawn, alleging that it was
framed to punish city and county officials,
and that his client was not a city official.
Another ground of the defense's conten
tion was that the wording of the Indict
ment was not specific in its language,
because It did not. contain the wording of
tho contract. A number of authorities
were offered by Attorney MendenhalL
City Auditor Is a "Witness.
Uty Auditor T. C. Devlin was the only
witness called. He was called to testify
and to identify the contract for the Tanner-Creek
sewer, the certificates which
were alleged to have been filed by Riner
and other documents in the case. It was
while the prosecution was trying to offer
these documents as evidence that the
attorney for the defense entered his vig
orous protest. Judge George overruled all
of Attorney Mendenhall's objections. The
court ruled that the contract, the certifi
cates and plans and specifications and
other documents offered by the prosecu
tion be recorded as exhibits. On the point
raised by Attorney Mendenhall regarding
the indictment. His Honor called for the
books containing the citations and ruled
that ho would allow the Indictment to
stand until he had time to read further on
the case and until the case was farther
along. ,
With this out of the way, the examina
tion of Auditor Devlin proceeded. He was
still on the stand when court was ad
journed at 5 o'clock. Just before adjourn
ment, and just as Mr. Devlin had in a
measure identified the signature of R. M.
Riner on the certificates. Attorney Men
denhall caused a flurry. While Mr. Devlin
was testifying regarding the signature,
Mr. Mendenhall had R. M. Riner sign his
name with pen and ink, and also the son,
E. M. Riner, sign another paper. There
was a hurried consultation between the
legal brothers as they compared the sig
natures of father and son, then Attorney
Ed Mendenhall carried the paper on which
E. M. Riner had written his name to Mr.
Devlin and asked If that was R. AL Rin
er' s signature. Mr. Devlin said that to
the best of his belief it was. Mr. Men
denhall then passed the paper among the
Jurors and offered it as testimony.

CIVIL SERVICE IN DISPUTE
Employe Questions Right or City
Engineer's Action.
In September, 1903, John Rankin
passed tho municipal civil service ex
amination for class 10, grade C, of
division C, Engineering Deparment. anJ
was certified bjr the commission to
the City Auditor as a classified employe
under the civil service rules of this
city at $75 a month. In a recent peti
tion to the Civil Service Commission he
sets up that he was constantly em
ployed until last March when City
Engineer Wanzer is alleged to have
arbitrarily laid him off at $2.50 a day
and appointed A. S. Gross in his place.
Rankin charges that he is allowed
the per diem only on days that he Is
employed and that they are likely to
become few and far between. On tho
other hand Engineer Wanzer says that
he was compelled to reduce the work
ing force of his Jepartmcnt, and violat
ed no civil servico rule when he laid
Rankin off temporarily. He explains
his reason for employing Gross by the
statement that both took the examin
ations the same day, that there was
no priority of rank Involved in that
respect, and that Gross had a higher
percentage than Rankin.
The Municipal Commission investi
gated the matter yesterday afternoon,
and sustained City Engineer Wanzer
on all the points at issue. John F.
Logan, attorney for Rankin, says that
he proposes to mandamus the City En
gineer and Civil Service Commission to
compel men to certify to the correctness
of a client's monthly salary claim
of $75, unless they keep him employed
permanently at $2.50 a day, which
amounts practically to the same thing.
He thinks that otherwise the action
of the commission would operate to
destroy the vital principles that in
spired the civil service idea.
Moving Federal Offices.
Yesterday marked the ilrst step in
the direction of moving the different
offices into the new Federal building.
The railway mall service. United States
Civil Service Commission, United
States District Attorney, and other of
fices intended for the upper story will
go first, to be followed by the United
States Circuit and District Judges, Mar
shal, clerks, and the various depart
ments .that will occuppy the second
story, and lastly by the Postoffice De
partment which will take all the
ground floor and a goodly portion of
the basement and other sections of the
building. This order of removal has
been adopted for the purpose of avoid
ing as much confusion as possible,
the idea being to have a clear field
for the Postoffice.
The bench In Judge Bellinger's de
partment was demolished yesterday, the
records and books of the Clerk. Mar
shal and District Attorney packed, and
in a few days the old biscuit factory
at Sixth and Burnside -will be only an
expensive memory so far as "tho Gov
ernment is concerned, as it is certain
the new building will be fully occupied
by June 1.
Three Engage in Fight.
James and David Roach and James
O'Hare were arrested at Second and Alder
streets yesterday afternoon by Patrolman
Qulnton, and were booked at police head
quarters on charges of fighting. Later
tne Roaches were released on ball. They
claim O'Hare. who is their brother-in-law,
started the trouble He is divorced
from his wife and is said to have been
causing considerable trouble of Inte be
cause of this. He Is the man who was
recently severely lectured by Circuit Jhdge
Frazcr, at the time of the trial of the
divorce case.
Civil Service Examinations.
An examination will be held in this
city June 14 by the United States Civil
Service Commission to secure ellgibies

L TEST L
Grounds Will Be Illuminated for
an Hour.
FAIR IN BLAZE OF GLORY
On Monday Evening (lie Lewis and
' Clark Expo'silitfh Will Be Out
lined in Electric Lights for
the Fist Time.
Monday night at S o'clock, the Lewis
and Clark Exposition grounds will" be
completely illuminated for the first time,
and when, after an hour's test, the lights
are turned off. they will not again burst
forth in a blaze of light until the night of
June 1. when the Exposition will have
been formally opened.
(lt Is expected that many thousand per
sons will witness this first illumination.
Heretofore only buildings have been illu
minated, but on Monday night all the
buildings, as well as the Trail, the balus
trade and the towers on Government Isl
and, will be illuminated. -The electric
displays arranged beneath the surface of
the lake will be tested, all the searchlights
that will be in use during the Exposition
will be turned on, and the grounds and
Centennial Park will be a blaze of light.
It will be the first chance for Portlanders
to sec how the Fair will actually look at
night when In full operation.
Nearly all the electric wiring has been
completed, and the number of lights In
stalled runs way up in the thousands.
There Is a little wiring yet to be done on
some of the strUe pavilions and on conces
sion buildings on the Trail, but the work
may be said to be In a completed condi
tion. The effect of the lights shining on
the water of Guild's Lake, with the Gov
ernment buildings on the one side and
the principal exhibit palaces on the other,
will be well worth seeing.
NEBRASKA EXHIBIT SHIPPED
Famous Steer Challenger and Mov
ing Pictures of State Industries.
OMAHA. Neb.. May 1L (Special.) Two
carloads or exhibits are tonight on the
way to Portland for Installation as a part
of Nebraska's display at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition.
The shipment includes the famous
mounted steer Challenger, which was one
of the sensations of the St. Louis agricul
tural exhibit. The steer was purchased
by the Nebraska Experimental Station,
for the purpose of being fattened on a
specially prepared ration of corn and 'al
falfa and other products, with a view to
capturing fire prize at the Chicago cattle
show. In which It was successful.
The exhibit also contains 500 bushels of
the finest corn of the state of the l&M
crop, also 30 cases of the best sheaf and
threshed grain. This Is all in fine condi
tion, and will be used until samples of
the new crop can be substituted during
the Summer.

hibit of corn products and moving picture
fijms nnd apparatus. A number of new
scenes of the state's Industries have been
added to the set, and it Is expected that

ka Theater will bo one of the attractions
of the Agricultural building.
President Warner, who has Just re
turned from Portland, presented to tho
State Commission, at a meeting yesterday
at Fremont, the contract he had made for
the erection of a pavilion, which was ap
proved. This pavilion Is, In fact, a hand
some little state building under the roof
of the Agricultural palace. It will con
tain, besides a large amount of agricul
tural exhibits, reception and convenient
rooms for Nebraska visltprs. offices of the
commission and the moving-picture thea
ter, seating 100 persons. Nebraska's posi
tion in the Agricultural building is an

SUBJECT TO FEDERAL LAW
Idaho State Land Sold on Same
Terms When Irrigated.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 11. Section 2 of an act passed
by the last Idaho Legislature places a
restriction on the state lands situated
under the Government irrigation project,
and provides as follows:
Whenever the United States shall, through
Its proper officer, authorize the construction
of any Irrigation works In the state under
the provisions of the reclamation act of June
17. 1903, no lands belonging to the state
whose irrigation depends upon the construc
tion of such works hall. after such authori
zation for construction shall have been pub
licly announced or communicated by such
proper officer to the Governor of the state,
be sold except in conformity with the classi
fication of farm units by the United States,
and the title to such lands shall not pass
from the state until the applicant therefor
shall have fully complied with the provisions

regulations thereunder concerning the acqui
sition of the right to use water from such
works and shall produce the evidence there

necessary money therefor.
Japanese as Census Enumerator.
County Assessor SIgler yesterday ap
pointed Y. Matsul as a deputy to take
the census of the Japanese popula
tion of Multnomah County. Consid
erable difficulty has heretofore been
experienced in connection with obtain
ing accurate data relating to the Jap
anese Inhabitants of this county, and
the Assessor has sought to avoid this
by sending one of their own race among
them for the desired information. The
new appointee comes highly recom
mended from Vice-Consul Alba, and
SIgler feels certain that he has solved
a problem that has been an eyesore
ever slnco the state law went into
effect concerning the- taking of tne
census every ten years.

will not make a report on tse municipal
scandals until. Just before time for its
adjournment.

Albert Meyer petitioned that the com
mission remove the bar. which he says
has formed In front of Hunter's Point, on
the Columbia River. This bar, he stated
in his letter, was caused by the dumpings
from the -dredge Columbia. It prevents
steamers from stopping at his Sand Bar
landing, and is a great Inconvenience to
him. The Commissioners thought the
United States Engineers were the proper
authorities to appeal to for a removal
of the bar.

GIVE BIG CIRCUS PARADE
Morris & Howe Will Slake This a
Great Feature.
Norrii & Rowe, whose circus comes to
Portland today, took, a decided stand re
cently against those circus-owners who
attempted to get circus men to dp away
with the familiar street parade on ac
count of the fact that It Is of such ex
pense. In direct contrast with this Idea,
the Norris and Rowe people present this
year a parade more expensive than usual.
There are manay novel features. Includ
ing llama, bears, elk and deer In har
ness, a score of pretty Japanese girls
drawn In their Jlnrlkshas by coolies. Jubi
lee and plantation singers on floats, nu
merous open dens of wild beasts, a herd
of elephants and one of camelp. a band
of pure white Arabian horsey beautiful
chariots, tableaux floats, equestrians,
five bands of music and the inevitable
calliope. The- costumes adopted by the
Japanese girls are correct fa detail, and
this feature of the parade has proved of
great Interest during the present season.
The Idea of wild beasts broken to' harness
parading the streets has also proved at
tractive. The Korris & Rowe show of this
season Is the greatest and most success
ful they have ever put on the road. Ex
hibitions will be -given at Multnomah

After a fever, such, as typhoid or scar
let, has run its fall course there remains
the recovery of 'strength. The t-onio that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles in the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish, nerves. So
farnothing has ever been produced su
perior to Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been ill -with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carreid her
safely through, the critical stages. "When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex
cept to build up her strength, which wa
Very feeble, and he gave her some pre
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with disappointment.
" I took the doctor's tonics," she says,
Mfor two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do ma
the good I looked for. My streagth oame
back so slowly that I scarcely seemed to
be making any progxe at alL Just
then I read in a book thrown in cur
yard some striking teafcnocials showing
what wocderfal blood-bald eri and
strength-givers Br. WfflWu Pimk PUls
are. I got & box of thm soon after
this and after I had takes only about
half of them I could see a Ttsej great ra
provemest in my ooaditics. When X
had used up two boxes, I felt that I did
not need any more medicine- I faaT
remained afcong eves; siacd."

liams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms: They area specific
for anaemia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges
tion and rouse up sluggish organs. 2fa
other tonio combines so many virtues.
All druggists sell them.

Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv
ine has been so successful in
curing these brain-wrecking
diseases that there is every
reason to believe that even the
most hopeless cases can be
benefited, if not fully restored.
We will be pleased to refer,
any one thus afflicted to many
Who now enjoy the blessing of
health, after years of hopeless
suffering. t
"I have a son that had brain fever
when two years old, followed by fits ol
tho worst type, and he was pronounced
Incurable. I spent hundreds of dollars
for him, without relief. After about
fifteen years ho became so bad that we
sent him to LongcMff hospital for tha
insane, at Locansport, Ind. He was,
there nearly three years, but he con
tinued to grow worse, so wo brought
him home July 30. 1902, In an awful
condition. He had lost his mind almost
enUrely. He hardly knew one of the
family; could not even find his bed;
was a total wrecJc He had from 5 to
10 fits a day. Wo were urged to try
Dr. AUles Nervine, and before the first
bottle was used, we conld see a Changs
for the better. W have given it to
him ever since, and lie has had but
two-very light spells since last August,
1903, and then he was not well other
ways. We pronounce him cured, as ha
can work and go anywhere. If any one
wishes to ask any questions concernlnaf
this, they are at liberty to do so,"
