THE 3IORTING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, STONE 23, 1906. It IT LEAST TWELVE ARE INDICTED It May Be That Fourteen Will Have to Answer for Vio lating Law. SELLWOOD PRECINCT VOTE Grand Jury Brings In Two Batches of Indictments, and in the List Are Well-Known Citizens. After voting at least a dozen and per haps 14 indictments against employe of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany at The Oaks, freeholders, election officials and electors, involved in the al leged illegal voting in Sellwood precinct, at the general election, the grand jury stood adjourned at 4 o'clock last evening and will not take up its work again until Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The names of those who have been voted In violation of the election laws, and subject to prosecuton when the in dictments are returned, are kept secret and are not known positively, except by those who are conducting the Investiga tion. The character of the evidence gath ered Indicates that J. W. Reed, Mayor of Estacada, president of the Bstacada Bank and superintendent of construction at The Oaks: B. K. Boynton, assistant superin tendent of the O. W. P. & Ry. Co. : W. P. Jacks and T. R. Baldwin, electricians for the O. W. P. Co.: G. Plass, secretary of the Mount Hood Brewery Company; John Schneider, foreman of Pfelffer Bros." Leather Company; A. E. French, a barber of Sellwood: Chairman John A. Miller, of the Sellwood election board, and George It Read, another election official, are probably among those named in the doc uments. It Is also possible that A. R. TMmlek, a Sellwood freeholder, will be Included in the list. Other Freeholders Also. The other four will doubtless include some of the other freeholders whose names appear most frequently upon the electors' certificates, who swore in their votes, and one or two of the electors whose alleged violations of the election laws appear most flagrant. It is not thought that any effort will be made to make any arrests before Monday mornr Ing. as none of those whose names have been brought out prominently in the in vestigation hue shown a disposition to flee and all of those indicted will be kept un der pretty strict surveillance to make cer tain that hands can be laid upon them when they are needed. Since Judge Sears has replied in the affirmative to the questions contained in the presentment made Thursday morning and the Jury and District Attorney feel more confident of the ground upon which they stand, a great deal more activity has been shown in the investigation and some additional evidence was furnished by five new witnesses which appeared be fore the lnqulsitory body yesterday. Be fore the investigation of the election frauds is concluded, it la understood, a great many more indictments will have ben voted and returned, involving no lees than nine of.he freeholders who signed the affidavits and attested to the qualifi cations of the alleged illegal voters, and other prominent men and officials who were especially active at the polls in Sell wood precinct. New and Interesting Phase. If it Is true that two of the election officials in Sellwood preclnot are among those named in the incriminating docu ments to be returned by the Grand Jury, probably upon the charge of official misconduct, a new and more interesting phase will be placed upon the situation. If they are convicted of the charge to be placed against them, it will have the effect of invalidating the election in that precinct, and. if this should come to pass. an action at law will probably be brought to set aside the vote in that precinct. As Sheriff-elect Stevens recetved a ma jority of 17 votes in that precinct, the casting out otf the entire vote there would affect the general result, and might ' determine whether Stevens or word should he the next Sheriff. Other wise the result of the Investigation will have no effect upon the election so far as the general results are concerned. Witnesses Before Grand Jury. The witnesses who appeared before the jury during yesterday's session were H. J. Crouse, Edward H. Bollinger. Ran dolph Brown, R. B. Urfur. W. T. Kinsey and Mr. Bell. Chairman John A. Miller, of the election board, whose official con duct at the polls is said to have been brought into question, appeared before the Jury voluntarily and. It is understood, tried to explain his actions. E. H. Bol linger, who geta his mall at the home of his mother, 139 Seymour avenue. South Portland, said he voted in Sellwood pre cinct because he had practically been making that his home since last Spring, and stayed at the Sellwood Hotel as a matter of convenience, as nobody asked him to go there or to vote. T. J. Crouse voted in precinct No. 17, and testified that he was not asked to vote In Sell wood precinct. He Is employed at the Oaks. W. T. Kinsey also voted in precinct No. 17, and R. B. Urfur voted in precinct No. 39. Both had understood that their actions had been called Into question and called to Inquire and explain, but they were not summoned as witnesses. Ran dolph Brown resides at 846 Powell street. but it Is understood he signed the affi davit of R. C. Reed, who was among those employed at The Oaks, and swore in his vote. J. A. Beckwtth, an attorney, was sworn In as a special deputy sheriff and as a challenger at Sellwood, and the principal scope of his testimony was In explanation of some of the actions com plained of on the part of the election officials. The Indictments returned so far were voted upon in two sets, the last, consisting of eight true bills, having been voted upon Immediately prior to adjourn ment last evening. HEAVY FREIGHT TRAFFIC A Thousand Carloads Going: East by the O. R. & N. Traffic officials of the O. R. & N. estimate that fully 1D00 cars of freight are on their way east from Western Oregon, between this city and Pendle ton. Regular and extra freight trains ere working- like mad to clear up the traffic that was congested by the re cent washouts, and the heavy business amounts almost to a blockade. The westbound movement of freight Is normal, but this cannot be said of products of the state going East. A large part of this enormous business is lumber destined for Colorado, Ne braska. Utah, Idaho, Kansas and other Eastern points. While the tracks were blockaded by washouts,- the piling up of freights at this end of the line went merrily on, and when the road was finally opened, there was a tremen dous number of cars that had accumu lated. It will take some time yet to clean up the business that is en the waiting list. Reports from Pendleton state that five and six doubleheader freight trains are running- over the Blue Mountains every day bound for the East, and that the traffic passing through the Pendleton yards Is unpre cedented In volume. Train crews are working overtime to man the long strings of cars going East. With normal conditions, the traffic eastward would be heavy, but with a week's tleup of the main line, extra efforts are required to work off the freight on the waiting list. MAKES TOUR OF THE O. R. & If. General Manager O'Brien Inspecting Branch Lines in the North. LEWISTON,. Idaho, June 22. Special.) J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the O. R. & N. Co., accompanied by his wife and daughter, arrived here today In his private car Oregon, which was attached to the regular Northern Pacific passenger train. He has been on a tour of inspection of the company's lines, and will leave on the steamer Spokane tomorrow for Rlparia to look over the work being done on the Lewiston-Rlparla branch. He sent his private car around to Rl paria, and from there will go to the Pom- eroy and Dayton brancnes Deiore return ing to Portland. y A DISCOVERED AT EAST EIGHTH AXD EAST MORRISON. Had Been In Water at Least Two Weeks and Identification Could Not Be Made. A badly decomposed body of a well- dressed man, apparently about 35 years of age. was found in a slough at East Morrison and East Eighth street last night. No identification was possible owing; to putrincatlon of the remains. No marks were found on the body which would lead to the supposition that death was caused other than by accident. But from the peculiar place in which the body was found Chief Grltzmacher started an investigation, and detectives are now trying to learn the dead man's identity. The body was found by residents or. the East Side, and the police and the Coroner were notified. How long the body had been in the shallow water is not known, but from the condition of the corpse, it is believed that it lay In the mud and slime for more than two weeks. When taken from the water the features were so swollen that recogni tion was impossible. In the pockets of the clothing were found a silver watch and leather chain, a few cards, one of which bore the name of Card & Edgar, contractors, some loose change and a bunch of keys. The body was clothed In a dark suit and on the feet were a pair of white can vas shoes. The head was covered with brown hair, and the upper lip with a sandy mustache. When alive, the man nrohablv weighed about 150 or 155 pounds. The body was buried last night.

Goll egiate Alumnae Give Fine Presentation, of Tennyson's "The Foresters' i . ' V.v . . J. J ' ,' v . : hv -v. , - ; LORD TENNYSOJ must have pictured Just such a spot as beautiful Cedar Hill when he wrote his ldylie comedy, "The Foresters," and Robin Hood and Maid Marian never vowed their troth in a more quaintly picturesque forest, a more delicately tinted twilight, nor before a more deeply appreciative audience than last night on the hills of Portland. There have been many per fect productions of this ever popular comedy. The dare-devil acts of bold Robin and the toewitchery of fair Marian have been 'enacted both Indoor and out, but never with a more perfect and effective setting. The longest day of the READY FOR Li FRAUD TRIALS Government Will Soon Begin the Prosecution of the Indicted. HENEY EXPECTED SHORTLY Special Precautions Are Taken Against Possible Loss ol Impor tant Papers and to Prevent Tampering With Them. With the near approach of the time for the land fraud trials to begin, a chess-like movement appears to have de veloped among the chief actors In the great Federal drama, and from now on Portland will prove the point of attrac tion not only for those whose reputations and liberties are involved in the vortex of governmental investigation, but will also be the goal towards which those clothed with official authority are also heading. At least 150 persons are affected by the miscellaneous lot of Indictments already returned, and while it is not contemplated in the order of things that all these different cases can be tried at the en suing term of court, or of several terms for that matter, it is well understood RESERVATIONS SHOULD BE MADE PROMPTLY. Those who are desirous of accom panying The Oregdnlan party to the Yellowstone park and other places of unusual Interest, such as Salt Lake City and Boise City, will do well to make their reservations u soon a convenient, aa there are but a few more left. Reservation will be made upon the receipt of $80, which In cludes railroad fare and all accommo dations while In the Park. But it does not include meals and Pullman reservations while en route. Those who will accompany the party will benefit by many advan tages which they would not other wise enjoy If they made the trip by themselves. For example, the party will travel in a special train, which will follow its own schedule. The special train will be one of the finest ever made up in the Northwest and will consist of three Pullmans, coach, diner, baggage-car and engine. Many entertainments will be given' In honor of the young la dles and there are many other things which will make the trip epeclafly delightful for all who compose the party. A rare opportunity Is offered to visit the Yellowstone Park at mini mum expense. that a sufficient number will be .brought before the bar of Justice to furnish in teresting material for a great many sen sational incidents before the trials have progressed anywhere near their end. As sensational and graphic as those which have already taken place are known to have been. It is confidently believed that many of those to follow, especially where in Blnger Hermann figures, will surpass them. Heney Is Expected. It Is not altogether improbable that Francis J. Heney, the Government's spe cial prosecutor In the land fraud cases, will reach here some time next week, although his coming is all a matter of speculation, even with himself, as he has much private business that demands at tention In San Francisco before he will be able to get away. Judge Hunt will probably arrive about July 10. in which event the new Federal Grand Jury may be convened a few days later. Judge Gilbert, of the United States Cir cuit Court, is expected on July 1, although SCENE FROM "TUB FORESTERS, FLAYED LAST KIGHT BY MEMBERS OF THE OREGON year brought with It the most perfect weather, and the last rays of the sun seemed to linger for a parting look at the beautiful scene. The pink and ame thyst sky shone through the branches of the gently swaying cedars and the thick undergrowth of the hill easily trans formed Itself into Sherwood Forest, the abode of bold Robin and his band. But it was not all in the perfect setting. The complete success of this production by the Collegiate Alumnae was due to the many talented members who stepped into the quaint and chivalrous characters of the days of Richard the Lionhearted with a naturalness and grace of pro fessionals. Amateurs they proclaimed themselves, but amateurs they failed to prove themselves and were freely for no special significance in connection with any of the land fraud cases attaches to his presence here then. Secret Service Agent Burns, who Is rated as one of the shrewdest detectives in Uncle Sam's employ and from whom Puter made his sensational escape at Boston March 27, will accompany ilr. Heney here, as will also Irvln Rltten house, who has been detailed by the Sec retary of the Interior to assist Inspector Neuhausen in the arrangement of all documentary evidence against the ac cused. Burns Is already in San Francisco with Heney, while Rlttenhouae Is mo mentarily ' expected there, and after checking over a lot of the papers that escaped the flames, all hands will come direct to this city. Guarding the Documents. So important has the safety of the multitudinous quantity of public docu ments that will be used at the trials been considered that yesterday a parti tion was constructed in the hallway ap proaching the United States District At torney's office, Miutting off all direct com munication with the three main rooms and compelling visitors to dance attend ance until such time as the prosecuting officers are ready to receive them. Every precaution will be taken to guard against the possible loss of public documents of any kind or the tampering with records belonging to the different cases. In all probability special agents may be kept on constant watch for this purpose, and it Is evident that It Is the Intention to take no chances of this character.. HE EXPECTS TO STAY. Van Dusen Thinks He Will Not Be Removed. ' Htmors that H. G. Van Dusen, State Fish Warden, may be decapitated next year, after the new Board of Fish Com missioners shall have come Into office, do not stick to the credulity of Mr. Van Dusen, who says that he does not believe the new board would turn him- out. after his faithful service, any more than the existing board would do, which is con trolled by Secretary of State Dunbar and State Treasurer Moore, against the mi nority member. Governor Chamberlain. The reason for this division on the pres ent board Is that Mr. Van Dusen, like the two majority members, la, a Repub lican, while the Governor is a Democrat. "I do not believe the stories are true," said Mr. Van Dusen last night, speaking of them as being the hothouse crop of somebody's Imagination. "If Democrats had secured control of the commission, I shuld expect to be forced out to make room for a Democrat, and should have no complaint to make. But Republicans will continue to control the commission, and, as I have always been a staunch Repub lican, I do not see that politics can be Invoked against me. As for my conduct in the office, I have devoted myself Indus triously to protection of the fish Indus try." The two new Fish Commissioners are to be Frank W. Benson, Secretary of State-elect, and George Steel. State Treas urer-elect. Since their election, enemies of Mr. Van Dusen have been preparing for a campaign for his removal. One of the aspirants for the $2500 a year job Is said to be H. A. Webster, of Clackamas, now Deputy Warden. Should either Mr. Ben son or Mr. Steel combine with Governor Chamberlain for Mr. Van Dusen's re moval, they would control the board, and it is likely that the Governor would be willing to go Into the alliance. Mr. Van Dusen expects the opposition of the Gov ernor, on account of the difference of their politics and the fight which Van Dusen made for WIthycombe In Clatsop County Mr. irles Van Dusen has five salmon hatch working this year at Ontario, on Wallowa River; on Salmon River, on Mackenzie River and on Santlam River. The flshway at Oregon City, over Wil lamette Falls, he believes is doing valu able work for the industry. Fish are al ready appearing- at the hartchery on the Mackenzie, 40 miles above Eugene.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is just the medicine to restore strength. given for the deception. Was it due to the fine management of Frank B. Riley, or was It the magic touch or finish of college life? Be that as it may. It takes real talent to portray characters with the faithfulness and accuracy exhibited by the principals of last night's perform ance, and the big audience which covered the lawn of Cedar Hill made its humble obeisance to the art of Miss MacDonald, Miss Lombard, and their entire sup port. In Miss Eleanor MacDonald, Mr. Riley found material for a fine portrayal of Robin Hood. She has had experience In dramatic productions at college, but there are many professional actresses who could learn of her. In the reading of her lines Miss MacDonald was especially GIVES ft ROSE SHOW Grace Church Filled With the Blossoms. QUEEN OF AL FLOWERS Frederick V. Holman Delivers Lec ture in Which He Urges Port land to Plant More Roses and Keep Its Title. The Portland rose was queen at Grace Methodist Church last night. The Ladies' Aid Society eave a show of roses that splendidly represented the beauty of Port land's favorite flower. Blossoms of every color and variety known to Portland rose gardens were there, the parlors of the church being lined with them. .The roses showed to splendid advantage, and the large crowd, attending commented most favorably on the exhibition. Frederick V. Holman delivered a short address on the rose that was the feature of the evening, and was carefully listened to by those who love the queen of all flowers. Mr. Holman urged the planting of more roses and the making of this city worthy of the title of the "Rose City" above all other places. Urges Planting of Roses. "Plant roses," said Mr. Holman, "plant more roses and keep on planting roses. Then get your friends to plant roses. I am not fighting other flowers. Plant them, too, if you want to, but plant roses first. Give Portland a wider fame as the city of roses. "Roses have been the flower of the dom inant races of all history. The Persians grew them when at the height of their power. Rome cultivated the rose while the city on the seven hills was in her prime. The flower is not found south of the equator, but grows to perfection among the conquering nations. "The masters of Greek poetry wrote of the rose, the Biblical authors praised It. With the Aryan races the rose goes back as far as tradition goes, and the flower has come to be almost the em blem of the race. But the roses of those days, were not the roses we have today. The flower had not reached the perfec tion It now presents. Portland Specially Suited. "But few places anywhere are so well suited to the- best development of the rose as Is Western Oregon. In England and Southern Germany the rose is cul tivated extensively, but In neither place does It grow-so well as In this climate. The Winters in England are more se vere; It takes more care and expense to bring the flowers to a good stage of de velopment, and while the wealthy classes of England spend a good deal of money In the cultivation of the flower. It doea not have so general a culture nor en joyment as It has here. In Germany the rose Is also confined largely to the richer classes, but here in Oregon there are none so poor that they may not enjoy this beautiful flower. 'California lacks the icllmate for the perfect roses that Western Oregon grows. Experts have tried for years to make the rose attain Its best development In Cali fornia, but in vain. While they can grow the roses in houses to shut out the hot rays of fhe sun, they cannot substitute the moisture In the air of .the Oregon cli mate that brings out the roses in the Spring. Appeals to Beauty Hunger. "In growing roses all over Portland it Is not the commercial spirit that animates us. In growing more of this queen of flowers we are feeding the beauty hunger In the child, which is just as Important as to meet the wants of the physical or mental hunger." Mr. Holman commanded close attention throughout his address. He closed by exhibiting some rather rare roses that are not' In general cultivation, which he picked from his own garden. A rose drill by 11 young ladies from the Gillespie School of Expression was a fea ture. Three solos completed the set pro gramme, when the audience turned its at tention to the booths that had been pre- BRANCH OF COLLEGIATE ALU MNAB clever, and she has a grace which suits well the care-free son of the forest.

The audience was a representative one, society being out in force. The natural slope of the lawn of Cedar Hill made a fine amphitheater and the thick growth of natural lorest trees a wonderful back ground for the stage.
