THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY. . JTJXE 28, 1906.
BELIEF - FUNDS
ARE STILL HERE
Mayor Lane Takes Committee
to Task for Failing
to Remit.
ANGRY WORDS EXCHANGED
Nearly Forty-Xine Thousand Dollars
in Cash Besides Fair Certificates
Not Yet Forwarded to
San Francisco.
There was nothing prosaic and com
monplace about the meeting of the San
Francisco relief committee yesterday
morning in the office of Mayor Lane at
the City Hall. In the strongest language
the executive head of the city and of the
general relief committee denounced the
actions and attitude of the finance com
mittee, composed of R. R. Hoge. chair
man; I. N. Fleischner, T. B. Wilcox. W.
M. Ladd and A. L. Mills. These gentle
men, in turn, loosed the floodgates of
their wrath on the head of the Mayor.
"You have withheld thousands of dol
lars raised by popular subscription which
Jong ago ought to have been sent to the
relief of stricken San Francisco." said the
Mayor to the gentlemen of the finance
committee.
"We were acting according to our best
Judgment," replied the committeemen.
"You have refused to report to me, al
though time and again requested to do so.
and have kept the public in Ignorance of
the status of the funds given into your
keeping." continued the Irate Mayor.
"You are acting without your authority.
You have unlawfully set yourself up as a
dictator and arbiter of our actions," re
Joined the equally Irate committee.
Fiery Session Held.
It will be a long time before the committee-room
In the Mayor's offices will
ever see such a fiery session as that of
yesterday morning or as prominent people
bandying sizzling personalities. The meet
ing was of the Reneral committee for the
San Francisco fire sufferers. It was called
presumably to close up the affairs Inci
dental to Portland's work of. relief. But
few, if any. perhaps, excepting the Mayor
and the members of the subcommittee on
finance, were prepared for any such a
scene as was enacted.
T. B. Wilcox read the report of the
finance committee. There was cash avail
able amounting to $48,924.01 and a further
eum in Lewis 'and Clark Fair stock of
J18.40S.75. Supplies to the value of $163,000
had been forwarded to the south, said
Mr. Wilcox, and he moved to put affairs
In good shape, that the whole matter of
disposing of the surplus be left In the
hands of the finance committee. Then
Mayor Lane opened his, batteries.
Unfair Treatment, Says Mayor.
"Gentlemen, you are not treating the
people fairly who suhscribed that money,"
cried he, "neither are you just to the
stricken people of San Francisco. It Is a
trust fund in your hands, and you should
forward It at once; you should have for
warded It six weeks ago. I have letters
here from prominent men of San Fran
cisco, who say that they are In dire need
right now of money, supplies, anything.
It Is not right, it is not Just, to withhold
this money, and I wash my hands of the
whole affair if this money Is not distrib
uted at once."
Mr. Wilcox made reply for the commit
tee by explaining that, after study of the
situation and consultation with the San
Francisco authorities themselves, they
had thought It better to conserve the
money on hand, as they believed worse
distress would come later.
J. B. Leber's Motion.
At this Juncture J. B. Laber regis
tered himself with the Mayor by mov
ing that a committee of three be ap
pointed by the Mayor to superintend
the distribution of the funds still In
the hands of the finance committee.
This motion received no second and
could not have been put anyhow, for
Mr. Wilcox now called for a vote on
the previous question. The Mayor re
plied by renewing his argument that
the money should have already been
distributed and the pot again began
to boil. Messrs. Wilcox, Hoge, W. M.
Ladd and Tom Richardson all in
terjected remarks more or less wrathy
into me powwow and Mayor Lane did
rot even wait to put the motion of
Mr. Wilcox. It was all too evident
g an accounting from the finance
ommitiee and Immediate distribution
f the cash on hand. With the sier-
ilficant remark, "I wash my hands of
his whole affair. The blood be on vour
heads. I will have nothing more to do
with this committee. You will see
where this action will land you." the
excited Mayor started for the door.
Hut the thunder had not yet all been
expended.
Hoge Intercepts Mayor.
Mr. Hoge Intercepted him at the
threshold, and said::
"I consider that you were insulting
me when you wrote me that letter
esklng about the condition of the
Xund."
"You'll find that you will hear from
this and that It'll hurt every one of
your men on the finance committee,"
replied the departing executive.
This Is the Mayor's letter, which Mr.
Jloge termed Insulting: ,
June '25, 1908.
R. R. Hoge. Chairman Finance Commit
tee, Portland. Or. Dear Sir: In looking
over the report of June 16, 1000, of the
Portland relief committee, organized for the
benefit of the people of San Francisco, I
find, aa I Interpret It, that there was an
unexpected balance upon hand at that time
of some $77,000.
As I urged at the special meeting held
upon the 20th day of May, I do not believe
that the money can longer be held in Port
land. Either It should be sent to San Fran
cisco, where It Is now and at all times has
been needed, or It should be returned to
the subscribers.
Being firmly fixed in this opinion, I
therefor call upon you to at once torward
such sums as you now have upon hand to
t'ne persons properly authorized to receive
It In San Francisco. Very truly yours,
HARRY LANE,
Chairman Portland Relief Committee.
Mayor Lane's Position.
It did not take Mayor Lane long to
Btate his case when seen yesterday
afternoon. It is evident that he Is dis
satisfied with the conduct of the
finance committee throughout! He
lells the story in this manner:
"I appointed this finance committee
Under my authority as chairman of
the general relief committee and made
I. N. Fleischner chairman. Later I
learned that they had made Mr. Hoge
chairman, but I took no notice of this.
Time passed, and I heard no report
from the committee, not even a word.
I knew they were getting thousands of
dollars, but I supposed they were
turning them over to the San Fran
iai authorltels as fast as they could.
I naturally expected to receive some
notification of the progress of the
committee, but none came. Finally I
heard from an entirely outside source
that the committee was holding the
money here which I and the public
had all along supposed was being sent
to the stricken city. I thought it now
high time for action and I Issued" a
call for a meeting of the committee
and demanded a report of their work.
This was the 29th of May and at this
meeting I took the same issue with
them as I did today. I demanded from
them either a detailed report or a pub
lic accounting. They conceded me
neither. I also demanded at that time
that they send the money to Ban
Francisco, and Mr. Fleischner alono
stood with me.
Told Them Their Duty.
"I told them, as I do now, that lc
was their duty either to send the
money to San Francisco or return It to
the public contributors. These men
even refused to make public the doings
of this meeting.
"Wishing to satisfy myself that I
was not pursuing a mistaken course,
shortly afterward I secretly called to
gether some of the most prominent
men of the city and asked their ad
vice on the matter. Unanimously they
agreed the only proper course was to
forward the money at once to San
Francisco, and they suggested that I
write to Mayor Schmitz, ex-Mayor
Phelan, and Edward T. Devine, of the
Red Cross, at once to ask them If they
still needed help. I did so and I sub
mitted the answers of these men to
the gentlemen of the finance commit
tee this afternoon. Mr. Devine and Mr.
Phelan both replied that they were
badly In need of money and supplies
at the present time. I received no
answer from Mayor Schmltx."
What Mayor May Do.
When asked what would be his
policy now and what he meant by
saying he washed his hands of the
committee, the Mayor replied:
"I will have absolutely no part In
keeping that money here which Is so
badly needed for the purposes for
which it was contributed. But I as
sure you I am not going to take a back
seat and let this matter pass without
protest. I want It submitted to- the
people of the city. I shall wait several
days and after I ascertain the senti
ment of the public I shall make some
move to enforce my authority as ex
offlcio chairman of that committee."
Mr. Hoge declined to talk for publi
cation. "Let Mayor Lane have his say
now," said Mr. Hoge lost night. "The
finance committee meets tomorrow
morning and we may have something
of Interest to tell after that meeting,
but nothing now."
HEAVY FIRE FOR KIENU
CONVICTED OS FIVE COUNTS OF
ASSAULT.
Patrolman Isakson Is Found Not
Guilty of Attacking Petty Orfl
, cers of Warships.
After a trial before Justice Reld which
lasted several days, sentence was pro
nounced yesterday morning on Joseph
Klenlan, patrolman upon the North End
beat, upon charges preferred against him
and O. Isakson. by petty officers of the
Chicago and Princeton, who alleged that
the patrolmen brutally assaulted them
without any provocation on the night of
Friday, June 15. Isakson. who was dis
missed from the force by order of the
Executive Board last Friday, was acquit
ted by Justice Reld yesterday, as the tes
timony did not develop the fact that Isak
son struck any one. The only witness
against Isakson declared he saw Isakson
raise his hand, but did not see whether
he struck any of the party.
Patrolman Kienlan, who was fined one
month's pay by the Executive Board and
transferred to another beat after his trial
before the Police Commission, June 22, was
found guilty yesterday on all five counts
of assault and battery, and Justice Reld
Imposed the maximum penalty of $50 fine
on each count, a total of $250. The de
fendant was not In court, but his attor
ney, C. M. Idleman, asked for a stay of
the execution until he could Bee his client.
Later Mr. Idleman announced that he
would appeal the case to the Superior
Court.
According to the story of the officers,
they were making the rounds of the North
End after having spent the evening at the
Elks' Club, and had Just left a resort
known as the Paris House, when they
were set upon by the policemen and or
dered off the street In a highly arbitrary
manner. The policemen knocked down
several of the party and struck Charles
Llcssman, a civilian, with the. butt of a
revolver. Inflicting a severe wound. The
officers testified that they were not drunk
at the time and offered no resistance to
the patrolmen. Testimony of several wit
nesses was taken, and prominent mem
bers of the Elks' Lodge were called upon
to testify that the men were not Intoxi
cated when they left the club after 1
A. M.
"I am convinced from the evidence,"
said Justice Reld, In pronouncing sentence.
"that the conduct ofKlenlan was certain
ly unbecoming an officer, and I believe he
was the cause of the whole trouble."
Isakson' s friends are circulating a peti
tion for his reinstatement, and several
sailors of the battleships have signed their
names to it. assuring Isakson that the
complaint was chiefly against Klenlan,
and not him.
"DOLLAR BILL" IN TROUBLE
Fined Forty Dollars for Assaulting
Patron of His Saloon.
Protesting his Innocence and declaring
that he did not hit the complainant, "Dol
lar Bill" St. Clair, a proprietor of one of
the resorts in the North End. at Seventh
and Gllsan streets, was fined $40. yester
day morning, by Judge Cameron, In the
Municipal Court, for assault and battery.
Adolph Rudolph, a laborer, complained
that St. Clair ejected him from his sa
loon and severely beat him on the head
about a week ago. Testimony of four
witnesses corroborated Rudolph's state
ment, and Judge Cameron found the sa
loon man guilty. Rudolph alleged that the
trouble started through wanting to buy a
glass of beer at St. Clair s saloon and be
ing told by the negro proprietor that he
did not sell liquor to white dogs. His at
torneys, Spencer & Davis, filed notice of
appeal and deposited a cash bond of $100.

M'MURRAY NOW
SUCCEEDS CRAIG
Official Announcement Made
of Appointment as General
Passenger Agent.
STUBBS WIRES THE NEWS
He Is Given the Position With the
O. R. & X. and Immediately
Leaves for Chicago to At
tend Conference.
William McMurray, assistant general
passenger agent for the O. R. & N., has
been appointed general passenger agent
to succeed A. L. Craig, who goes to the
Great Northern to head the passenger
traffic department. Mr. McMurray's
appointment becomes effective July 1,
when Mr. Craig retires from the office.
The appointment was made yesterday

WILLIAM M'MCRRAT. WHO SUCCEEDS A. I.. CRAIG WITH O. R. N.
by Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs, of
Chicago, who wired General Manager
J. P. O'Brien, of the HarriWn lines in
the Northwest, that Mr. McMurray
would step into the position made va
cant by Mr. Craig's retirement.
Although Mr. McMurray has been In
Portland only since last September,
when he came from California to be
come assistant to Mr. Craig, he has
made many friends here, and the ap
pointment is a popular one. He brings
to the position a long experience in pas
senger work with the Harriman lines,
and a special ability for dealing with
the public.
Mr. McMurray first entered the serv
ice of the Southern Pacific in 18S5, when
he was taken Into the office of T. H.
Goodwin, general passenger agent for
the Southern Pacific at San Francisco,
as clerk. He remained with the pas
senger work for almost 20 years, in
numerous capacities, temporarily leav
ing the service about two. years ago to
engage In promotion work at the St.
Francis Hotel, San Francisco. After
about a year spent there, he was ap-
GOT
pointed assistant general passenger
agent of the O. R. & N. by Mr. Stubbs,
and came on to Portland.
Few men are better equipped by
training and experience for the posi
tion Just given to Mr. McMurray. His
relations with the other officials of the
local railroad offices are particularly
pleasant, and the railroad colony will
hear of his promotion with plisure.
John M. Scott, chief clerk of passen
ger affairs under Traffic Director
Stubbs, with offices at Chicago, has
been appointed assistant general pas
senger agent for the O. R. & N. Mr.
Scott was formerly chief rate clerk
for the Union Pacific, with offices at
Omaha. When Mr. Stubbs went to
Chicago, he took over Mr. Scott and
made him chief clerk in his passenger
office. He Is regarded as a very effi
cient official and local railroad men
who know him speak of him . very
highly.
Mr. McMurray left last night soon
after he received the appointment for
Chicago, where he will attend the meet
ing of the heads of the Harriman pas
senger departments. The work of the
passenger officials of the Harriman
lines will be outlined for the coming
year and appropriations made for ad
vertising. Mr. McMurray will return
to Portland in about two weeks, and
will bring with him Mr. Scott.

derly conduct. Both men were put In

THE PRIMROSE PATH
STEVENS TAKES
THE L
He Is Now Two Votes Ahead
of His Rival, Word, in
the Recount.
MUCH WRANGLING GOES ON
Fop a Time Incumbent of Sheriff's
' Office Had Best of It, but Last
Precinct Counted Went
Against Him.
With the end of the recount In sight,
Robert L. Stevens is now two votes ahead.
But 22 precincts remain to be gone over,
and aa only about 2500 votes were cast In
these precincts, It Is possible that the re
count will be concluded by tonight. Mon
day 3200 votes were counted with ease,
but this morning Judge Frazer will re
consider rulings on several ballots and
this may result In much wrangling be
tween the attorneys and prevent the re
count from being finished by tonight.
Stevens - exhibited wonderful recupera
tive powers late yesterday afternoon, as
Word had the lead nearly the whole of
the day. Tuesday Word also took the
lead, but at the close Stevens made a
spurt and succeeded In effecting a tie.
Several times Word has gained the lead
and had victory almost within his grasp,
to have It wrested from him when least
expected.
Session Devoted to Argument.
Most of the morning session yesterday
was devoted to arguments and discussions
regarding maVked ballots previously
passed, and but one precinct was counted.
Judge Frazer reversed his decision on six
ballots which had been rejected, four of
which were for Word and two for Ste
vens. This gave Word a lead of two
votes at the beginning, which was a very
bitter mouthful for Stevens and his
friends to swallow. O. M. Lance and G.
W. Allen, election Judges fn Precinct 45,
testified to ballots which they had marked
to facilitate the worle of counting, and
George S. Allen and H. S. Paddock, elec
tion Judges of Precinct 53. testified to a
ballot that had been torn. On the strength
of this testimony Judge Frazer reversed
his rulings.
Stevens gained a vote In Precinct 61,
the first precinct to be counted, but in
Precinct 62 he lost two votes, which In
creased Word's lead to three votes, which
Is the greatest advantage he has had
since the recount began. It looked very
discouraging for Stevens, but in Precinct
63 the Republican candidate gained one
vote. In Precinct 65 he gained another
vote, leaving Word but one ballot to the
good.
Gains Lead of Two.
Stevens and his friends anticipated
making a showing in Precinct 67 suffi
cient for them to carry off the honors of
the day, as Word had obtained a large
majority vote In that precinct. They were
not disappointed in the least, as Stevens
gained three votes, thus giving him the
lead with two votes to the good. The
court adjourned with the count of Pre
cinct 67.
Stevens apparently has the advantage,
as there are 500 more of Word ballots to
be counted than his out of the 2500 that
remain. Rut his advantage Is so slight
that It could be easily overcome if the
defective ballots certain to, be unearthed
show a tendency to favor Word. The
pendulum may swing either way. and both
sides are greatly worried but hopeful.
From the present Indications It looks as
though the recount will be as close as
the election Itself, and It Is generally be
lieved that the case will be aDpealed to
the Supreme Court by the unsuccessful
candidate.
Ballots Objected To.
Several hundred ballots objected to by
the opposing counsel have been preserved
for reference, in case there is an appeal.
Several dozen were added to the accumu
lation yesterday, and among them were
ten ballots with the edges torn off which
were cast In Precinct 67. Nine of these
were for Word and one for Stevens. Judg
Frazer believed that the mutilation of the
E
ballots was purely accidental, and aN
lowed them to be counted.
The result of the recount for yesterday
follows:
Stevens.
Word.

Proposition to Vote.
At the next election, the acquisition of
Hawthorne Park by the City of Portland
will be submitted to the people. The pur
chase price for the park and the three ad
Joining blocks is $150,000, and at a meeting

The plot In all consists of nine acres.
Hawthorne Park consists of but six acres,

Thurman streets. The Park Board has
secured an option on the property and

Young Wife Tries to Die.
One month of wedded life was too much
for Mrs. George Lieding, of the Kingston
lodging-house, and last night she turned
on the gas. No flame emitted from the
jet, and she lay down on her bed to pass
away. Her forced slumber was interrupt
ed by her husband, a barber, who entered
the room, turned off the gas. and 'sum
moned a physician. Policeman Price also
became aware of the attempted suicide
and summoned City Physician Wheeler.
Mrs. Lieding was resuscitated and will
recover.
The attempt to end her life Is said to
have followed a quarrel with her husband,
to whom she was united In matrimony by
Judge Cameron about three weeks ago,
when, as Miss Susie Kerr, she was ar
rested by Detective Kay, charged with a
misdemeanor while in company with Lied
ing. Before her marriage she made an
attempt to end her life by taking poison.

OUT FOR ROOSEVELT
Willamette Valley Baptists
Commend President.
RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED
Also frge That All Guilty of Flec
tion Frauds, Whoever They
May Be, Should Be Pun
ished for Offenses.
BAPTISTS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS.
Ringing resolutions were adopted
at the close ot the Baptist Conven
tion commending the efforts of Pres
ident Roosevelt to curb the public
trusts, crush out corruption in high
places and to compel the corpora
tions to respect the law.
The resolutions recited the condi
tions and the vigorous efforts of the
President In behalf of public purity
and public morality.
Resolutions were also adopted
strongly commending the officials of
Multnomah County for their efforts
to search out the men who had com
mitted frauds In the late election,
and expressing the hope no one
guilty of violating the election laws
of the country should be allowed to
escape just punishment for his
crime, no matter who he might be.
A resolution wail adopted as the
sense of the association that the
liquor business should be annihil
ated. The Willamette Baptist Association held
a busy session yesterday In the Second
Baptist Church, East Side. Rev. E. O.
Leonard acted as moderator In place of
Rev. C. A. Nutley, who was called home.
Rev. A. L. Black reported on home mis
sion work, setting forth the needs In this
department for personal exertions. He
said it was the time for moral reform and
progress.
Rev. W. P. Pope, the new missionary
superintendent for this state, delivered a
vigorous address on the home mission,
pointing out the opportunities for forward
movement in this line. He was followed
by Rev. R. H. Robins,. Rev. G. W. Griffin
and Dr. W. T. Jordon.
.Rev. John Bentzein spoke for the Bap
tist publications, particularly the Pacific
Baptist. Rev. Gilman Parker and others
spoke along this line.
Home and Foreign Missions.
In the afternoon the Women's Home and
Foreign Missionary Society was In charge:
Mrs. James Failing presided. Mrs. D. C.
Latouretto delivered an address on the
foreign field. Miss Millspaugh, evangelist,
talked of her work, stating that an effort
would be made to raise $650 for the work
the coming year. A collection of $26 was
taken.
Officers for the ensuing year were elect
ed as follows: Moderator, Rev. C. A. Nut
ley, and cleric. Rev. G. A. Learn.
The B. Y. P. U. held a session, which
was addressed by Rev. O. W. Griffin on "
the subject, "Efficiency In the Young Peo- :
pie's Work." This was followed by a
short business session. Rev. Mr. Griffin '
read the usual resolutions. The resolution
on temperance provoked discussion. It

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE
Agree With Him About Food.
. A trained nurse says: "In the practice
of my profession I have found so many
points In favor of Grape-Nuts food that
I unhesitatingly recommend It to all my
patients.
, "It Is delicate and pleasing to the pal
ate (an essential in food for the sick) and
can be adapted to all ages, being softened
with milk or cream for babies or the aged
when deficiency of teeth renders masti
cation impossible. For fever patients or
those on liquid diet I find Grape-Nuts
and albumen water very nourishing and
refreshing. This recipe is my own idea
and Is made as follows: Soak a tea
spoonful of Grape-Nuts in a glass of
water for an hour, strain and serve with
the beaten white- of an egg and a spoon
ful of fruit Juice or flavoring. This
affords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimilate
without any distress.
"My husband Is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
"Personally I regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
Ideal breakfast for anyone well or sick."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, ,

In any case of stomach trouble, nervous
prostration or brain fag, a 10 days' trial
of Grape-Nuts will work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding, and In this
way ending the trouble. There's a
reoson" and trial proves.
