MUCH HINGES ON RESULT II Certain Acts Constitute a Crime, Six or More Indictments for Frauds at Sellwood May Be Iieturned. Three days have already been con sumed by the grand jury in Investi gating the charges of election frauds In Sellwood precinct, during which time nine witnesses have been ex amined, besides County Clerk Fields and George H. Thomas, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee. Comparatively little satisfactory head way is being made by the inquisitorial body. Eight new witnesses were ex amined during yesterday's session. Then the Jury adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. It is understood no further probing will be attempted until a successor to Olaf Akeyson, ex cused, has been chosen. Although official B confirmation is lacking, it is understood that the Jury has progressed up to a point of uncer tainty and that therefore a present ment will be made to Judge Sears at the opening of court this morning, asking if certain acts may be consid ered as constituting the commission of a crime. If an affirmative answer Is given, no less than a half-dozen, and perhaps more, indictments will be re turned during the day, upon what in formation has already been secured. Names Are Kept Secret. Who will be Indicted is still a mat ter for conjecture, but according to the evidence so far collected, it is thought the list will include J. W. Reed, Mayor of Estacada, foreman in charge of the construction work at the Oaks, as he Is alleged to have been active in reg istering what are claimed to have been Illegal voters. At least six of the Sell wood freeholders whose names appear most frequently upon the affidavits by which votes were sworn in on elec tion day are also said to face indict ment. These names are known only by the members of the grand Jury and those Intimately connected with the investigation. Only one of the many witnesses sub penaed and examined by the grand Jury, it is understood, has furnished evidence of the expected Incriminating character, and the showing which George H. Thomas, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, who has been engaged In gathering evi dence ever since the charges of fraud were filed, promised to make, has also failed to materialize. It is stated that the only witness who has given the evidence expected from him was Harry Young, of Fulton, the first witness ex amined by the Jury, who testified that he was induced to vote in Sellwood precinct by J. W. Reed, and instructed to vote against Prohibition. Landlord Fosdlck on. Stand. The most Important witness - examined by the grand Jury yesterday was A. M. Fosdlck. proprietor of the Sellwood Ho tel, who testified that J. W. Reed en gaged lodging for 26 strangers at his ho tel on Sunday evening preceding the elec tion and that Reed paid for their accom modations with a check for $25. bearing the stamp of the O. W. P. Ry. Co. This testimony was verified by Reed's stepson, J. A. Morgan, who also related his ex perience with a mysterious old gentleman who engaged accommodations at the hotel on the following night and was discov ered in the act of tearing out the pages of the hotel register containing the names of the transient guests under, suspicion. The old man left before morning without paying bis own bill. The identity of this aged stranger is still enshrouded in mys tery, so far as those who are conducting the grand Jury Investigation are con cerned. Louis Gordon, a carpenter of Sellwood. employed at the Oaks, was an unimpor tant witness; his testimony bearing prin cipally upon the alleged hatching up of the scheme for voting Sellwood "dry." Clerk Says Strangers. Voted. C. F. Petsch. a plumber and clerk of the day election board at Sellwood precinct, and George I Read, Democratic member of the election board, told of the number of strangers who voted in that precinct, men whose faces were unfamiliar to them and who swore in their votes. Mr? Read challenged a number of these strange voters. J. M. Groom, a member of the executive committee of the Democratic Central Committee, has. been engaged in gathering evidence and submitted what he had gathered. William J. Fablon, a former employe of the Oregon Water Power Company, is thought to have been called in to iden tify several of the men who are said to have voted illegally in Sellwood pre cinct. Among those he named were Kd Bellinger, of South Portland; Alfred Drill, an electrician for the Oregon Water Power Company, whose residence is at Cazadero, and. Edward Bates, also an electrician for the same company, who resides at Estacada. Otto Prag was also among the wit nesses examined yesterday, but what he testified to could not be learned. Frank J. Berrt Judge of election in precinct No. 9, the polling place for which was at the Scott Hotel, told of happenings in that precinct on election day. Harry Young Called Again. Harry Young, who was the first wit ness called before the Jury, appeared again yesterday afternoon, as did also County Clerk Fields, whose testimony had to do with the electoral affidavits, which are in his official custody. Be yond revealing the fact fhat virtually the same six freeholders made affidavit for every suspected voter sworn in, little light was thrown upon the investigation by these affidavits. Whether or not the investigation of the alleged fraudulent voting in Sellwood precinct will proceed further after to day will be determined by the instruc tions of the court In reply to the pre sentment which will be handed in by the Ju,ry this morning. It is understood that the testimony furnished by the wit nesses so far examined, with the excep tion of that of Harry Young, is discon nected and not of an incriminating char acter, and it seems to be a question whether the Investigation will proceed along the lines It has heretofore followed.

He congratulated Monta villa on Its patriotic showing in behalf of the public . schools, and also re marked that Portland stood high in the ranks of cities with fine schools. The speaker then reviewed the history and progress of the country, pointing out the men who had brought things to pass in this country and showed how they did It. The address was full of thought and was delivered with force and effect. Mr. Hawley's reference to President Roosevelt as the man who did things and kept the country guess ing what would be his next move called out applause.

CHARLES SCADDIXG TELE GRAPHS HIS DECISION. Illinois Churchman Feels Deep Sense of Responsibility' In Becoming Head of Oregon Diocese. CHICAGO. June 20. Rev. Charles Ecaddlng. of LaGrange, 11L, recently elected Episcopal bishop of Oregon, decided tonight to accept, subject to the decision of House of Bishops and the standing committees. For Indigestion HORSFORiyS ACID PHOSPHATE An effective remedy tor obstinate indiges tion, nervous dyspepsia, headache and depression. The doubt expressed as to whether Rev. Charles Scaddlng, who was elected bish op of the Episcopal diocese of Oregon by the last annual convention, would accept the bishopric has been Anally dispelled by the foregoing special dispatch, re ceived by The Oregonlan, and by a tele gram of the bishop-elect to Rev.' Dr. G. B. Van Waters, chairman of the conven tion, received last night. Rev. Charles Scaddlng -telegraphed the following as his official notification of the acceptance: "With a deep sense of responsibility I accept the election as bishop of Oregon, subject to the approval of the house of bishops and the standing committees." Before as Episcopal bishop can be con secrated he must have the consent of the standing committees of all the Epis copal . -dioceses in the country and the house of bishops, which is composed of all the Episcopal bishops in the United States. The proceeding is a, mere formality. During the convention one of the dele gates suggested that Bifihop Scaddlng should be consecrated In Portland. This matter has been laid before him and It is very probable that he will follow the suggestion. In any case the bishop-elect is not expected here before Fall, or at I least the end of Summer. I The Portland clergymen are elated over Rev. Mr. Scadding's acceptance, and so soon as the consent from the house of bishops and the committees is received the entire diocese will plan elaborate preparations to receive the successor of the late Rt. Rev. B. Wistar Morris. Rev. Charles Scadding was born In To ronto, Canada, on November 25, 1862. He was educated at Trinity University and was ordained to priesthood In 1886. Rev. Scaddlng is an American citizen and his entire ministry has been spent in the United States. After a short curacy in Buffalo he was invited to St. George's Church in New York, and later appointed priest-in-charge of St, George's Chapel on Stanton street, now the pro-Cathedral. After three years In this crowded tene ment district. Rev. Scadding went to Toledo, Ohio, to take the rectorship of Trinity Church there. After five years in Toledo, Rev. Scaddlng went to La Grange, III., 1895, where he has been since that time as rector of the Em manuel Church there. HOW, AND WHY. 1 AH you have guessed about life Insur ance may be wrong.
