ATTACKS MANNING
Affidavit in Racetrack Case Is
Cause of Biting
Sarcasm.
BLAZIER'S POOL INTEREST
Attorney Declares That, Because of a
Certain Thirty-Two Per Cent
Division, District Attorney
"Was Taking Sides.
District Attorney Manning was de
nounced by Henry E. McGinn In Judge
Frazers Court yesterday afternoon for
making an affidavit that Captain Spencer
and W. S. Dixon called upon him and
asked for warrants for the arrest of the
bookmakers at the Irvlngton racetrack
because the Multnomah Fair Association
had broken the contract with Dixon; that
Dtxon was to sell the pools on the track.
Mr. McGinn declared that the District
Attorney was lending his assistance to
the Gamblers Association, and by making
thlB affidavit substantiated the current
rumors on the streets that he permitted
pool-selling at the Irvlngton track, for
the reason that his friend Eugene Blazler
was interested in the pools to the extent
of 32 per cent. The Attorney further as
serted that Mr. Manning had promised
him that there would be no pool-selling
on the track, and that the gang then
doing business in Seattle would not be
tolerated here to fleece the Portland pub
lic Inclined to Dissolve It,
Judge Frazer was inclined yesterday
to dissolve the Injunction restraining the
sale of pools on the ground that it was a
quarrel between gamblers, Dixon and cer
tain members of the Multnomah Fair
Association, and that the Court ought not
to allow itself to be used to help one
gambler revenge himself upon others.
Judge Frazer once referred to Captain
E. W. Spencer as a gambler, but immedi
ately apologized, saying there was nothing
in the cass to Justify the remark. Mr.
McGinn explained that Captain Spencer
only made election bets nothing more.
Text of Affidavit.
The affidavit by District Attorney Man
ning which nearly caused the case to be
thrown out of court and brought about
the bitter response by McGinn is stated
in the following language:
I John Manning:, being flrrt. duly sworn on
oath, say that I am District Attorney for tb
Fourth Judicial District of Oregon; that on
cr about the- of July, llKtt. E. W. Spencer
and Y. S. Dickson called upon xne In my of
fice and Mated to mo that Mr. Dickson heM
a contract for the exclusive betting- prlvUegHs
on the Irvinston Racetrack from the Mult
nomah Fair Association; that Mr. Diamond
would not live up to eald contract and that
therefore Captain Spencer wanted to make a
complaint and have arrested eome seven or
e'sfct bookmakers, the names of aJd book
makers I do not now remember, and offei-ed
tn hand mo a piece of paper containing- the
names of aald bookmakers, also offered to
how me contract which Mr. Dlctoon had
with the Multnomah Fair Association, as
liereln referred to, which I refused to accept
or even look at. for the reason that I told
Mr Spencer and Mr. Dickson, If they had no
other cause than the one whloh wan told to me
for the arrest of these people, that I would
not jrlve them a complaint under such cir
cumstances. Judge Frazcr's Question.
Judge Frazer asked the question after
the affidavit had been submitted and the
argument on both sides nearlv finished,
whether Captain Spencer had come Into
ccurt with clean hands, or simply to ben
efit Dixon and to punish the defendants.
"If so." asked Judge Frazer. "can a
court of equity be used to help such a
scheme? "Wouldn't that tend to convince
any unprejudiced person that Captain
Spencer was not anxious to have the law
enforced, but it was a mere matter of
revenge because he could not control the
pools In the Interest of Dixon? It cer
tainly does not set well with me. I don't
think a court of equity should lend Its
aid for that purpose."
Mr. McGinn, who had been nursing his
bottled wrath for some time, came back
with a torrent of abuse against District
Attorney Manning, and said Captain
Spencer would make an affidavit denv
ing the affidavit of the District Attorney,
"and I will make an affidavit," contin
ued Mr. McGinn, "that Mr. Manning pub
licly announced that these races would
not be run; he was going to close them.
He shook hands with me on the proposi
tion and said: 'I am going to see if you
are as much in earnest regarding this
gambling business as you pretend to be.'
I told him I would go farther than he
ever would to stop gambling. He said he
would not allow those people to come
over from Seattle and run these races,
and Mr. Manning always said he never
would allow the races to run. until Eu
gene Blazler got a 32 per cent In the book
making, and then he changed his tune.
It was only when the District Attorney's
and the City Attorney's offices were closed
to us that we went into a court of equltv.
They want to continue this thing until
they have filched $100,000 from the pock
ets of the public Of course we did go
into the police court, but we can't do
anything there. "We. can establish the
fact that Captain Spencer declared pools
would never again be sold on that track.
Captain Spencer has been here for years,
always trying to uphold the laws of the
community. His record as chief of police
of this city in that direction was so for
cible that they managed to' get rid of
him inside of three months.
"We find District Attorney Manning tak
ing entirely too much Interest in this
matter. -The conduct of Mr. Manning In
making this affidavit In favor of these
gamblers gives credence to the rumors
on the streets, and shows that he has
too much interest in the 32 per cent Blazler
has. I know there must be a motive
behind Mr. Manning I can bring in Mr.
Gearln and the reporter to whom Mr.
Manning made the statement that these
races would never be run. It "was pub
lished at the time. Captain Spencer will
deny that he ever made this statement."
Boise Makes Interruption.
Mr. McGinn continued in this strain,
and "Whitney L. Boise, of counsel for the
defendants, Interrupted to say that this
was all abuse of Mr. Manning and was
not an answer to the charge that Captain
Spencer wanted warrants issued because
the contract with Dixon that the latter
should sell the pools' was not kept. "Mr.
Manning did not rush Into this case,"
said Mr. Boise. "He made these state
ments in public print and Mr. Pipes and
I went to see him, and asked him to make
an affidavit, and he did so. He was not
a willing witness, and he did not want
to come into this case. He is not the
only man Captain Spencer told; he told
a man in my office. We can bring plenty
of evidence of that kind."
Mr McGinn retorted, making a speech
along the same lines as before, among
other things saying: "I know Mr. Man
ning. I have had dealings with him be
fore, and right here in this courtroom."
Counsel concluded by saying he would
submit contradictor' affidavits by Cap
tain Spencer and others.
Captain Spencer's Affidavit.
Tcstorda) Captain Spencer signed an
affidavit which was submitted to Judge
Frazer denying that he had at any time
any Interest personally in the pools at
Irvlngton racetrack. He further affirmed
that this suit was brought In good faith
and for the sole and only purpose of
preventing public gambling, and the man
crimes and evils Inseparable from It, and
injury to the reputation of plaintiff, and
without any ulterior motive; also with
out any purpose or design to effect any
controversy between persons who desire
to share in or profit from the conduct of
gambling on the Irvlngton racetrack, but
with the single desire to put a stop once

forms. The affidavit further recites that
mere never was any ahicunuui mui mc
Multnomah Fair Association to sell pools
othor than the common knowledge that
such practices had been common at horse
races. Additional arguments were made
on legal points by Attorneys M. L. Pipes
and R.,W. Montague. Mr. Dixon, who is
a saloonkeeper at "Vancouver, B. C, has
been present in court during the argu
ments. Adoption Papers Stand.
County Judge "Webster yesterday morn
ing sustained a demurrer to the petition
filed, to set aside the adoption papers of
the late Dora B. Davis for Percy W. Kerr,
a minor, thus throwing the .case out of
court. The suit was filed by the adminis
trator of the estate of Mrs. Dais. and
sensational charges were made In the
complaint against Mrs. L. M. Parrish,
who la the guardian of Percy W. Kerr.
Mrs. Parrish. It was alleged, had schemed
to get the property left by Mrs, Dora B.
Davis, divorced wife of W. H. Davis,
Mayor of Albany. According to the
claims made in the argument. Mrs. Par
rlsh acted In good faith to help young
Kerr and through feelings of friendship
for Mrs. Davis, and the present trouble
arose through an endeavor of distant
relatives of Mrs. Davis, who had nothing
to do with her when she was alive, to
secure the property of their dead relative.
Judge Webster held that the adminis
trator of the estate of Mrs. Davis had no
interest in the matter which entitled him
to a cause of action.
May Not Assign Future Wages.
In deciding the case of Dudley Evans
against County Clerk Fields, Judge Fra
zer held that a man could not assign
wages to be earned in some contingent
employment. In 1902 Evans, then City
Health Officer, assigned one month's wages
to a man named Gorman, who trans
ferred his claim to the Ames Mercantile
Agency. The latter stopped the delivery
of a County warrant In the hands of
the Clerk to Evans. Judge Frazer held
that Evans was entitled to receive the
warrant. Evans says Gorman long ago
received his money with logal interest,
but wants more. The Ames Mercantile
Company says It will appeal the cafe to
the Supreme Court.
AFTER GOLD BRICK THIEF
POLICE TRYING TO FIND MAN
WHO ROBBED M'QUEEN.
Clew Obtained to the Criminal Who
Stole Four Hundred Dollars

sensational "lifting" of a JO0 gold brick
from the coat pockets of A. D. McQueen,
the pollco have taken up the case and de
tectives are now. engaged in an Investiga
tion. Exact details of the crime are lacking.
as Mr. McQueen is extremely retieent,
declining even to detail to the police the
complete circumstances. However, cnouch
has been learned to furnish a fpundatlon
for investigation by the detective staff,
and developments may be looked for
soon. -
The daring robbery occurred while Mr.
Mcuueen was on board a Mount Tabor
car. He was with friends, but among the
crowd. It seems, there was a thlof bent
upon securing the precious brick. The val
uable piece was made of dust from the
Gold Bug mine, and was the pride of
its owner. He had exhibited it to many
people about the city, and it was gen
erally known that he carried It with
him.

United States Minister to Co
lombia Talks on Vari
ous Topics.
J EFFECT OF CHINA BOYCOTT
What the Fair Has Done for Port
land, He Says, Is to Emphasize
Its Importance as
a Metropolis.
John Barrett, United States Minister to
Colombia, whose dozen years in the dip
lomatic service has not in the least
severed the strong attachment that he
feoJs for Portland, his home city, Ore
gon, the state of his adoption, or the
Pacific Coast, the industrial and commer
cial interests of which appealed to his
appreciation of their importance as to
qualify him especially for the service
rendered the Government since, arrived
this morning to spend two weeks In
Oregon.
Portland Now Metropolis.
In his room at the Hotel Portland Mr.
Barrett discussed with The Oregonlan
the problems of commercial conditions
in China, with particular reference to
the boycott of American goods, spoke of
John Barrett, United State AlinUter
to Colombia.
the difficulties that beset building of the
Panama Canal, the relations of this coun
try with South American countries, and
of the peace negotiations that have such
an important bearing upon American re
lations. Incidentally he declared that
Portland might rightfully be proud of Its
Intense Americanism, with which he Is
more impressed upon each succeeding
visit, and that the true atmosphere of
Americanism Is most observed In the
West. "The Exposition," he declared,
"has been instrumental In placing Port
land In the rank it deserves, marking the
transposition from a small city to a
metropolis In an economic and commer
cial sense, known throughout the Nation
so that when a man registers from Port
land In New Tork It is recognized by the
hotel habitue that he may be from Port
land, Or., and not necessarily from Port
land, Me." Speaking upon the topic of
an official nature, Mr. Barrett said:
Chinese Boycott Serious.
The so -called Chinese boycott, which so
directly concerns the trade er Portland and
the Pacific Coast. Is receiving the close at
tention of the United States Government.
President Roosevelt is doing everything con
sistently In hli power to prevent an outcome
which will be harmful to American In
terests.. Minister Rockhlll In Pekln. and tha
American Consuls at the different ports ot
China are reporting fully on the subject,
and, of course, will use all their Influence to
prevent a spread of the boycott. Already
Mr. Rockhlll has secured from the Chinese
government an assurance that It is opposed
to the movement, and is trying to limit It.
At the same time, the exporters of the
United States must recognize the extent and
strength of the boycott and be prepared for
Its effect on their trade with the Far East.
It must be realized that an organized move
ment of this kind means more in China than
it might in any other country because of the
unique power and wide-reaching influence of
the Chinese guild or societies, which appear
to be back of the boycott. If the Chinese
Lstudent are also supporting it, as reported.
is generally supposed. Probably there Is no
labor organization In the United States
which has so many subdivisions la this coun
try as the Chinese guilds have in China. In
many Instances they are led by men of
great ability. My official position prevents
me from expressing any opinion on the
merits of this boycott, or on the workings
ot the exclusion law. but it is a well-known
and admitted fact that the merchants, stu
dents and others In China, who are described
a promoting the boycott, are much Incensed
over what they term the unfair treatment
ot higher-class Chinese who may wish to en
ter the United States. It la. therefore, hoped
that the declarations of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Tart, when these are repeated
and understood In China, will greatly help
to relieve the tension ot the boycott.

aisa aucceasfnlljr. The fact that we have
rait dlfncultlea to contend affalnst. eapeelally !
in the way of climate, sanitation, labor and ,
distance from the base ot supplies, will delay :
our success, but will, howeTer. prove a great
er incentive for eventual achievement. The
primary and unfortunate experiences with
yellow fever, for instance, are like the pre
liminary skirmishes In a great battle. The
outposts and skirmishing line may be driven
back and even ruder serious loss, but It
does not follow that there will not be com
plete victory In the real battle to come. The
American people must remember that It Is
one thins to build a b!c canal as has bees
done In Illinois. New York and Sault Ste.
Marie, and quite another and different mat
ter to construct a mighty waterway In the
tropics 2000 miles from the base ot supplies.
The chief problem of the preliminary work,
as I always maintained when on the lsth
mu. Is that of sanitation. Engineering and
administrative questions are secondary to
sanitation. There Is great engineering work
to be done the greatest that the world has
ever seen but its complete success depends
on making the isthmus sanitary.
The dlfncultlea of the situation are exag
gerated by discontented men who return. At
the same time. I believe In concealing noth
ing and In giving the fullest publicity to the
trials and troubles that beset the United
States In this work. In order to build the
canal, we must have the confidence of the
people. This can only be secured by letting
them know the truth.
HIS BILL II BE CLEW
CITY TREASURER CHANGES
PAPER FOR STRANGER.
Belief la Expressed That It Is Por
tion of Money Stolen From
Mrs. Wert.
"Well. this is the hardest luck town. I
ever struck for getting paper money
changed." said a smooth-appearing In
dividual at the Treasurer's office In the
City Hall about noon yesterday. "What's
the matter with the people, anyway?"
he inquired of Treasurer "Werleln. at the
same time fumbling around In a rear
pocket and fishing up a ffl bill. "Here
I've been trying to change tnis tor two
hours, and everybody's looking out the
window when he sees me coming. I'm
Juft from New York where they don't
have any other kind of dough, but out
West here a pcrton can go hungry ior
breakfast with his Jeans full of green
backs, because they are not used to it,
I guess."
After satisfying himself that the bill
was genuine. Treasurer Werleln gave
him the change, and then the stranger
proceeded to enlighten the official upon
the proper method of carrying paper
( money. He said he nevor used a purse.
but kept it loose in his pockets, and
demonstrated a way of folding a bill so
that it would not become mutilated. Then
he turned and went away, but not be
fore Werleln and Deputy License Collect
or Hutchinson and one or two others had
taken a mental inventory of his makeup,
because It developed that the J20 bill that
had been changed by the man who said
he was Just from New York was issued
by the First National Bank of Eureka,
Cal.. series "K" 362276, and was signed
by A. B. Hammond as President of that
Institution.
Before entering the Treasurer's office
he was seen to take the bill from a well
filled purse, and this, and other suspicious
circumstances, lead to the conclusion
that he Is a companion of the person who
robbed Mrs. Louis Wert of 5400 at the
Merchant's National Bank the day be
fore and that he adopted this unique
method of going to places besides banks
to get rid of a sufficient quantity of his
plunder to provide himself and partner
with funds without exciting suspicion. It
is thought he will undertake to do the
same thing elsewhere, and people are
advised to be on the lookout and notify
the police at once after obtaining a good
description, and If necessary shadow him
with a view of ascertaining where he
goes, as it is believed his trail will lead
In the direction o the robber who stole
Mrs. Wert's money.
The person who appeared at the City
Hall yesterday Is described as a young
man about 22, tall and slender, with a
slight stoop, cleanshaven, rather frank
In expression, with dark, neatly-trimmed
hair, and what is known as "Irish gray"
eyes. He had on an ordinary gray cap.
and wore a dark Norfolk Jacket, with
watch pocket of peculiar diagonal slant
In it about midway In the garment.
The Police Department was notified
without delay, and Is, now kcepink close
vigil for the Interesting young man from
New York who finds It so extremely dif
ficult to get paper money changed In
Portland, where the people are thorough
ly accustomed to Its use.

While nothing definite came of the Joint
committee selected by the horsemen whose
horses are stabled at the Irvlngton race

a great deal of good was accomplished.
Committees waited on both men. and the

Just what was accomplished by the two
committees was not given out. A long
conference was held with President Dia

Both were urged to settle the matter out
of court. If possible, and they urged this
because several of the horsemen who

MAKES SAME PLEA
Auto-Driver Claims Machine
Was Geared Low.
HARVEY O'BRYAN DEFENSE
Record of a Day's Hearings in the
Municipal Court of Judge Cam
eron and the Sentences
Imposed -by Him.
From evidence given In the Municipal
Court in all cases where drivers of auto
mobiles arc arrested and made to defend
themselves. It appears that there Is not
a "car" In Portland that can travel above
eight miles an hour the legal speed limit.
All defendants put up the same -plea, and
thus far have made It stick. They sim
ply laugh at the testimony of those who
swear they were running at breakneck
speed, and rest their cases by declaring
their machine is not geared high enough
to break the law, and therefore every
one els must be mistaken.
"Oh, the machine might make as high
as 15 miles an hour. If It was running at
full speed on a straight stretch of road
on a downhill grade," Is about the gist ot
the defense In every case, "but It was
geared low when the witnesses say they
saw me, and I'm sure It was not going
more than six miles an hour, possibly
not that."
Judge Cameron fancies that there are
so many Ideas regarding rates of speed
that it is almost Impossible for people to
tell how fast an automobile Is going, but
in the case of the city against Harvey
O'Bryan, an Insurance agent, on trial yes
terday, experts were available and the
caps will be decided today. Experienced
drivers of fire apparatus, who saw O'Bryan
go tearing along Twentieth Street, toward
Thurman. declared the speed of his ma
chine to have been not less than 16 miles
an hour.
Like those charged with the same of
fense before him, 0'Brya"n lined up with
the stereotyped defense, saying his ma
chine was on low gear. and. declaring he
was not going quite eight miles' an hour.
He said that had he been going 16, he
stated by the firemen, he and the woman
with him would have been thrown clear
out of the car when the machine struck
the crossings.
Policeman Patrlok Maloney, the ar
resting officer, testified that O'Bryan and
his companion did almost topple from the
car when they struck the crossing. He
said he expected to see a wreck, as the
car leaped Into the air and swerved to
one side, but Anally righted and continued
on at a furious pace.
Jedge Cameron, after hearing the tes
timony, said he would wait until this
morning., at which time he will render a
decision.
J. D. Kyell frescoed the walls of Mrs.
Elizabeth Fuchs home, 152 East Twen
tieth Street. He is an expert at the busi
ness, and trimmed the celling and walls
with paintings of beautiful birds. In bril
liant colors. That was before he got mad
at Mrs. Fuchs. A quarrel ensued later,
however, and he was ordered out. Ho
went, but before going, and while she was
absent, he took a brush and with a few
swipes he cut off a head here, a foot there
and erased the tall feathers of another
bird. Wings were missing In some In
stances, legs In others and eome of the
birds had nothing left but a head and
tall.
When Mrs. Fuchs returned and found
this condition of affairs, she straightway
suspected her enemy, Kyell. and without
delay had him arrested. He pleaded not
guilty when arraigned before Judge Cam
eron yesterday, but he was fined 510 never
theless. Democratic zeal did not suffice to cause'

John Lambert and Charles Kuhne,
charged by Charles Hoyt with assault
and robbery In the Corner saloon Sun
day night, were placed on trial yester
day, and the prosecution rested its case
by taking the testimony of Hoyt and
Robert Eggert. The -former positively
identified Kuhne as the man who struck
him in the saloon, but Eggert was un
able to Identify either man. The case
was finally continued until today. Kuhne
and Lambert may be victims of mis
fortune. Hoyt and Eggert believe them
guilty of the daring hold-up of the sa
loon and the robbery of the Inmates.
which was accomplished in a manner
indicative of the experience on the part of
the criminals. Today the defendents will
produce witnesses who. it Is claimed, will
clear them, proving a good alibi. Both
men have been working at the Claremont
Tavern. They walked In from there Sun
day night. They claim to have been a
long distance from the Corner saloon
when the ho!d;up occurred. They ar

before the police came. Hoyt requested
their arrest, saying he recognized them
as the hold-ups.

For six long months I suffered and

them. Finally I tried Cuticura Soap

week I was entirely well. Allowing
this to be published so that others may
benefit from my experience, I am,
