GRAND JURY AT SEA
Will Ask Court for Instructions
in Election Cases.
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.

ACCEPTS THE BISHOPRIC
REV. 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.
