KERN ON TIL Charge Is Attempting to Extort Money From Meier & Frank. JULIUS MEIER TESTIFIES Tells How Ettorts "Were Made by Manager of German Publication, to Secure Advertisements Costing $590. The trial of A. E. Kern, manager of the Deutsche Zeltung, accused of having attempted to extort money from the Meier & Frank Company, began yesterday in Judge George's court. Dr. Paul Semler, editor and publisher of the German news paper, will be tried later on tho same charge. , A part of the morning session was taken up in securing the jury. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Gua Moser and C. E. S. Wood, engaged as special prosecutor by .Meier & Frank Company, are appearing for the complainants, and Judge Thomas O'Day and John Ditchburn for the de fense.' Attorney Wood, in presenting his side of the case to the Jury, told of the visit of Lou Klug to Julius Meier and of the subsequent visits of Mr. Meier to the office .of the German paper, and of the alleged effbrts of Kern to extort money for advertising under the guise of holding out a damaging story. Mr. Wood said he would prove that Kern, handed Mr. Meier a galley-proof of the story, which was written in German, and would intro duce testimony to -show the conversations which followed between the two men. In the afternoon Julius L. Meier was called to the witness stand, and told tho story of the alleged attempts at extortion, the amount which was to be paid for ad vertising space in the paper being $3W,as return for which the firm was to have "certain advertisements published. The publication of a series of damaging ar ticles was also to stop. Frequently during the cross-examination of Mr. Meier, Judge O'Day punctu ated the examination with objections and personal filings at the witness. Mr. Meier passed through the ordeal with al most perfect equanimity. Being a lawyer himself, ho was not present to be bully ragged, and during several .spirited verbal tilts he proved himself quite capable of holding his own and giving answers in return that were as sharp and caustic as those put to him by Judge O'Day. During the direct examination and, for that matter, during the cross-examination of Mr. Meier, Judge O'Day repeatedly ap pealed to the court to have the witness desist from arguing his case and to force the witness to testify. Mr. Meier was on the stand to defend bis own character and the business Integrity of the firm, and he did so to tho repeated annoyance of Judge O'Day. Mr. Meier told, of re ceiving a visit from Iou Klug and of having been told by Klug that the best thing ho (Mr. Meier) could do was to call upon Mr. Kern. He told of going to the office of the German newspaper and of lurvlng first met Dr. Semler. No attempt at extortion was made on this visit. This did not take place until the following day, when he met and talked over the article in question with Kern, who the witness swore approached the subject of the Meier & Prank Company advertising in the paper. Mr. Meier de scribed this visit and told how Kern wrote on a typewriter a form of a con tract. Mr. Meier testified that he was not empowered to sign a contract and that he had told Kern so. lie stated that Kern had urged that this would make no difference, for the firm would stand by anything that Julius Meier did. The wit ness said that Kern had informed him that the contract that he had drawn up was not a regular one, but that it would suffice until a regular contract could be made. Mr. Meier said that he refused to sign the contract, and that in Kern's presence he called up SIg Frank, presi dent of the firm, and, while he held the receiver to his ear. Kern read to Mr. Frank the terms of the contract. "When the. terms of the contract were read, the witness said that Mr. Prank flatly refused to stand for the extortion and ordered Mr. Meier to return to the store. Cross-examination of Mr. Meier was still in progress when court adjourned. From the very beginning it was patent that Mr. Meier wan in for a gruelling. Attorney Wood several times Interposed objections to the methods Judge O'Day was using in his cross-examination, con tending that the counsel for the defend ant was not conducting the crose -examination upon' matters that had been brought out on direct examination. The trial will be resumed this morning. The members of the Jury are: Sam J. Craft. G. TV. Dobson. M. S. Crook. Charles Dahlqulst. W. H. Osburn. G. W. Edmonds, TV. F. Darr, John Buckley. H. F. Taylor, H. Nelson, J. TVethorell, H. D. Slater. ATTACKED WHILE AT OPERA S. M. Mcars Is Taken Suddenly 111 ' With Appendicitis. "Willie attending tho performance of "Tannhauscr" in company with his -wire and two nieces at the Marquara, Monday night, S. M. Mcars. president of the Portland Cordage Company, and cx-prcsl-dent of the Chamber of Commerce, was taken suddenly ill with appendicitis and was compelled to leave for his home. Mr. Mcars left the opeVa suddenly, but gave no warning to hi wife of the cause. Wfcen she arrived home after the play Mr. Mcars was suffering painfully. Physi cians were called in. Tuesday morning ho was removed from his home. 721 Flanders street, to St. -.Vincent's Hospital, where an operation was performed. The operation was successful and yes terday Mr. Mears was on the road "to re covery. The attack was so sudden that Mr. Mears himself did not reallxc the nature ofhis illness. Knowing that he could not remain at the playhouse, al though seats were expensive and society was there, ho left his wife and two nieces to enjoy the singing while he de parted suffering. It is expected that Mr. Mears will be able to leave the hospital soon. Employment Burcaa Ordinance At the meeting of the City Council. Wednesday night.

SHE SPILLED LYE IN EYE Sad Case of Destitution Discovered, and "Worthy 3IotIicrf Desert od by. Husband, Is Aided by Kind Hearted Citizens, Instead of going' through life in blind ness and with a terribly disfigured face, llttlo 12-year-old Anna- York, who spilled a can of concentrated lyo In her eyes several weeks ago, now has a prospect of at least partial sight, having been suc cessfully operated upon at St. Vincent's Hospital yesterday afternoon. The case is an unusually pathetic one. In that tho child was at least two weeks without care or medical attention after the acci dent which literally ate her right eyo out of the socket, and that her family was surrounded by direst poverty. Dr. Mao Parker, assisted by Dr. Richard Kunn, performed tho operation, but they an nounce that a second one will bo nece sary as the eye was In such condition that burnt tiseues had to ' be cleared away before skin-grafting can be suc cessful. May Graft Kabblt's Eye. It has been suggested that the delicate operation of replacing the destroyed orbit with the eye of a live rabbit be attempted In this case, and if it Is undertaken it will be the first case of the kind ever performed in Portland. Such an opera tion was performed in a similar case In "Washington several weeks .ago and It Is not Improbable that It might prove ef fective In this Instance if the optic nerve is not destroyed. Dr. Parker stated that tk ere was in very bad condition ond It was fouad necessary to delay the real operation until the wound Is cleared up. The child received the contents of a can of lye directly in her eye, and when dis covered the other eye was becoming af fected through sympathy. It Is thought by the specialists In charge, however, that this can be saved. Sad Story of Desertion. Behind this accident Ik desertion and poverty, which has been icrrciec out ana temporarily relieved by officers of the Juvenile Court. A tele phone message Informed the court that the family was In want, and Officer Haw- ic-. accompaniea d -Mrs. m ii. .Daggett, actlnsr special officer, vlwltrrt tfc. which a mother and six young- children naa taxen sneitcr. Tne small room was void of furniture, for the family came here from the Cascade Mountains, where theV lived 63 m!lp from a rallrnnrt an.l could not bring their small belongings. Mne ratner deserted his wife and her six little ones, so she brought them to Port land hoping to get employment to sup port them. She is now earning 51-35 a day. but this does not go very far when there are seven to feed, clothe and keep warm. There was no complaint from her Hps, however, and It was through observ ing,, neighbors that the attention of the court was called to their want. Investigation and Itellef. An Investigation was made by Mrs. Daggett and she found pressing necessity for Immediate relief. In a few hours she and Officer Hawley had groceries and a few necessary dishes and cooking uten sils on the -premises and the following morning took the oldest girl to the specialists- to see if anything could be done to save her sight. Dr. Parker examined the eye and volunteered to perform the operation. Dr. Nunn promptly agrecing.-fo give his service also. Irs. Daggett then succeeded In interesting the Sisters at St. Vincent's in the case and they are cheerfully doing their part. As soon as recover" is made from yesterday's opera tion another will be performed and new skin grafted on the face, which has been burned and eaten by the strong lye. Citizens Build Home. Citizens on the Bast Side were soon in terested In the case through . the acting' officer and it was decided to erect a com fortable bouse for Mrs-. York and her children. The lumber was donated by the Inman-Pouhnn Mill and the 'Oregon Lumber Company. Brown's Shingle Mill furnishing the shingles. The work was volunteered by mechanics employed by these firms and through their kindness the family Is now fairly comfortable. The mother of trfls family is an honest, deserving, hard-working woman, and the Juvenile Court considers the case one of especial merit and feels much gratified that Interest was taken in it by so many citizens. Mrs. Daggett has done splendid work, in relieving the family's distress and obtaining the services of expert special ists In so short a time. LINCOLN DAY BANQUET.
