lO X11I3 UKKUOMA5. .SATURDAY, UECE3IBEK 15, 1906. REED GUILTY OF f ELECTION FRAUD Mayor of Estacada Promptly Convicted of Colonizing Voters at Sellwood. PRACTICALLY NO DEFENSE Court Rules Line of Testimony Of . fered by Counsel for Reed Im proper "Bcd-and-V'ote" Cir cular of Liiquor Dealers. PENALTY VROVIDKD BY LAW. Mayor Reed and the other defend ants in the Sellwood election fraud cases were Indicted under section 11)07, of Bellinger and Cotton's code. The penalty on conviction is: "Any person, upon conviction of a violation of flec tion 1907, shall bo Imprisoned In the penitentiary not less than one. nor more than three years, or shall e fined not less than ?100 nor more than $1000, or shall be punished by both such fine and punishment, in the dis cretion of the court, and shall be forever Ineligible to hold any office of trust or profit in this state." J. W. Reed, Mayor of Estacada, banker, contractor and vote colonizer, was late yesterday afternoon found guilty of par ticipating in the election frauds in Sell wood precinct on June 4, the date of the last general election. The trial of Mayor Reed began "Wednesday before Judge Fra rer. The jury returned its verdict at 5:20 yesterday afternoon. Some 20-odd cases are yet to be tried in connection with the alleged illegal voting of 26 men in pre cinct 37. The trial of the Estacada Mayor moved along smoothly until the defense attempt ed to prove through its witnesses that the colonizing of the 26 voters at the June election was done upon the advice of the late Attorney O. F. Paxton and upon the instructions of a circular issued during the campaign by the Brewers' and Whole sale Liquor Dealers' Association. The at tempt to bring before the jury evidence of this nature roused Judge Frazer, who, with some show of feeling, not only ruled out this line of evidence, but delivered from the bench a stinging rebuke on At torney Muir. Then again, when the chief counsel for the defense, in the course of Ills argument before the jury, attempted to speak upon some point of law, he was severely called to account by Judge Fra zor. who, without mincing words, ordered counsel to deal with the facts In the case end to allow the court to deal with the law. Attorney Muir had exceptions of the court's remarks noted, and this ended the squall. Another storm broke out while Attorney Moody was addressing the Jury in behalf of the defense. Attorney Moody wandered away from the facts and began on the tabooed question of law, when he also was called to desist. There was a brief colloquy between His Honor and Moody, but it was suddenly terminated when Judge Frazer threatened to consider the attorney In contempt of court should he jicrslst in his line of argument. Practically No Defense Offered. Trouble for the defense broke oat dur ing the morning session, and it came so thick and fast that practically ho defense was offered. Lawyers Muir, Moody, Mar tin and Wolf elected to try the case upon the fact that Reed, in getting the 26 men into precinct 37 to vote, had done so be cause a lawyer had said that all that was necessary for the voting of the 26 men was to have them sleep one night in the precinct in which they were to vote. This line of defense was based upon the alle gation that the attorney, now dead and gone, had given it as his legal opinion that this was all that was necessary to establish a. legal residence, and on the liquor dealers' circular. Attorney Moody had called A. Crofton.' manager of the Wholesale Brewers' and Liquor Dealers' Association, as the first witness. When the court saw through the line of defense His Honor very promptly sustained the objection made by District Attorney Man ning and his deputy, G. C. Moser. Attor ney Moody then took up almost an hour in citing authorities in defense of his )Klnt, and it was at the close of this argu ment that Judge Frazer said: "The charge against. the defendant has been substantiated so far as the evidence has gone, and I cannot allow so nonsensical a defense to go before this jury The court cannot believe that any such advice could be given or even believed by any lawyer. Everybody knows that such a thing would be wrong. It is fraud on its face and the District Attorney has well said that If this defense can be Justified 'in this way there would be no protection for the people in administering their af fairs In their own way." The result of the court's ruling was that Crofton, beyond acknowledging the circular, did not get a chance to testify. This was also the case of the attempt to have other witnesses tes tify along the same lines. The other .witnesses were Reed himself, B. F. Boynton, ex-assistant superintend ent of the Oregon Water Power & Rail way Company, and County Clerk Fields, who had been solicited by the liquor men for a decision on the question of establishing a residence. When the counsel for the 'defense were met at every question with ob jections which were sustained by the court, the defense was dropped, and after introducing a number of charac tor witnesses, the defense offered no testimony. Mayor Reed, in answer to the few questions that were allowed. ndmittod calling up the - hotel-keeper at Sellwood and making arrangements for the meals and sleeping quarters for Ills colony of voters. He also admitted paying the bijl by check. Jury Promptly Convicts. Two attempts on the part of the de fense to have the court Instruct the Jury to bring In a verdict of not guiltv, were overruled. The first motion was made when the state rested Its case and the second Just before the case was submitted to argument. Both District ' Attorney Manning and Attorney Moser ridiculed the defense offered hy the op posing counsel, and argued that If the people Implicated In the Sellwood election fraud were allowed to go un punished, it would mean that the law enacted to safeguard the methods of conducting' an election counted for naught. Judge Krazer'a instructions to the jury were extremely fair and impartial. He carefully reviewed the case and In Blrtcted them that it was not their duty to find their verdict upon the law but upon the facts as they had been presented to them by Counsel. George Banford was made foreman of the Jury,-and in less than an hour a verdict of guilty was returned. "Bed-and-tote" Circular. The "bed-and-vote" -circular, which the liquor men sent out, follows: Portland, , May. 26. 1906. Dear sir: we have been greatly encouraged &y the nu merous replies received to our recent clr euiar letter. ' At the June election there are only two matters which are of vital Importance to the llouor merchants of Oregon. The first of these is woman suffrage, which we op pose because it is the declared Intention of the temnerance forces to use the woman vote to put us all out of business, and we therefore must defeat it.

BREWERS' & WHOLESALE DEALERS' ASSOCIATION. To Ask for New Trial. , When the jury had rendered its ver dict, attorney Martin moved for 30 days' time in which to ask for a new trial. Judge Frazer stated that he was will ing to give the defendant plenty of time in which to file a motion for a new trial, but said he thought 30 days was too long. Attorney Martin in answer said that he had talked the matter over with the Dis trict Attorney and that Mr. Manning had agreed on this time. The matter was left over until Monday when an other of the election froud cases will come up for trial. AT THE THEATERS W&at FreN Acrmtm Bar.

RESIDENTS MAKE PROTEST Arguments Are Made for and Against the Belding Ordinance Com mittee Decides to Make Further Investigation. Members of the street . committee of the City Council yesterday heard argu ments for and against the passage of the fielding ordinance, whfch is intended to' prevent the operation of the Woods street quarry in South Portland. " On the one side the residents in the vicinity allege that they will be subjected to an noyance and deterioration of property in value if the quarry is established, while the representatives of the quarry declare that it will be oper ated without-inconvenience to the neigh borhood, and that it will supply a qual ity of rock for street work in which the city stands -in great need. - j At least 100 men and women appeared be- 8UCCEKDS . HIS FATHER AS MAYOR OF HOO.D RIVF.R. IA T ! Laurence. N. Blowers. HOOD RIVER, Or.. Dec. 14. (Special.) Not by right of birth,1' but as the choice of the voters, Laurence N Blowers succeeds to the office of Mayor of this place in .place of "his father, who has vJust finished a three-year term as chief executive. This is not tiie first experience of Mr. Blowers, Jr., as Mayor, for he was the first Mayor of Sumpter, In Baker County, when that town was incorporated in 1S97. He has also served a term as deputy United -States Marshal. fore the committee, which was compelled to hold its meeting in the Council Cham ber so that all those who were clamoring for a hearing could find room. Action on the ordinance was postponed until the next meeting. A dozen or more of the property own ers, both men and women, urged the members of the committee to prevent the operation of the quarry. All of them declared that the experimental blast fired Thursday morning stirred things up like a small-sized earthquake and scattered fragments of rock over the entire neigh borhood. One of the women broke down and wept, saying that if the blasting were permitted to continue she would be unable to find tenants for her house, over which hung & heavy mortgage. Others said that that part of the city would be unfit for residence . and that they would be compelled to sacrifice their homes and move elsewhere. These state ments are denied by representatives of the quarry. "That quarry will be a menace to the life and liberty of the" people of that neighborhood," declared Charles J. Schna bel who appeared as attorney for the property owners. "The so-called experi mental blast fired Thursday nearly created a panic. The 800 pupils ' in the Falling school but eight blocks distant were badly frightened, rocks were scat tered about for blocks around, windows were shattered and. the earth trembled. And remember, only 35 pounds of powder Were fired. Yet they plan to set off blasts of 100 "pounds." Some of the Protestants. Councilman Belding made an ad dress and others who spoke were Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, A. F. Smith, B. F. Johns, F. Gundorf and W. Holtz. E. B. Merges, representing the Portland Rock Company, owner of the quarry, said the people of that part of the city were unduly excited, and that they were un consciously misrepresenting things. He said his company was willing to put up a bond to insure the property owners against any loss they might suffer and spoke of the shortage of crushed rock which. Is assuming serious proportions. Mr. Merges assured those present that K the damage to property and incon venience to those present were as great as represented the-owners of the quarry would not make a request for a permit." He called attention to the fact that an other quarry was operating in the vicin ity, in a more exposed location, and asked the committee to make a further Inves tigation which would show that many of the arguments made against the quar ry were unfounded and that it could be operated without damage or inconven ience to the residents in the neighbor hood. None of the members of the com mittee expressed themselves, and at the request of Councilman Menefee, who de sired to learn more about the quarry, the ordinance was postponed. . At the committee meeting yesterday a dozen or more property owners appeared to protest against the assessment for the improvement of Sellwood street between Borthwick and Delay streets which they declared was in deplorable condition. The street was recently dressed with pit gravel. Merely a Potato Patch. "We, used -to have a ptreet there, but what we have now might make a good potato patch; that is all," remarked Mrs. Mary Mooney. "There is an abundance of rich dirt and just enough sand foe raising potatoes." A petition was read requesting that Gladstone avenue be improved and that its width be not reduced. Several citi zens protested against the Improvement saying that it practically meant the con fiscation of their property and urged that the width of the street be reduced from SO to 60 feet. The petition was indefinitely postponed. The committee recommended for pass age the permit to allow the Northern Pa cific Terminal Company to lay tracks on "York street from Sherlock 1 avenue to Twenty-fourth street'. At the Council meeting lust week an ordinance to grant the company a 25-year franchise was killed. The permit does not carry with it Uhe common-users' clause, but it is revocable at any time. . The property owners along York street desire the track. . y - ; . .. . Superintendent Is Arrested. R. F. Crittenden, superintendent of the Portland Rock Company; which la open ing a quarry at the head of Woods- street in South Portland, was arrested yester day afternoon by Patroimun Stuart on a warrant swor out by Patrolman Rudolph at the instance of Acting Chief Gritz macher. Crittenden is charged with blasting without a permit, and his arrest is the result of an effort being made- to stop working the quarry. Residents near the quarry have complained to the City Council and have requested that the nuisance be abated. Crittenden was re leased on his own recognizance. VETOES FIVE MEASURES Mayor i,ane Rebukes Council for Giving Away City Streets. "I have given up all hope that this city is to retain anything in the way of public rights or property which any person or corporation desires to pos sess." So says Mayor Lane in a veto message sent to the Council yester day. , The Mayor'vetoed five ordinances. The one which made him despondent over protecting the city's "public- rights or property" was the ordinance which provides the vacation of that portion of Cole street which lies between East Nineteenth and East Twenty-first streets. Regarding this ordinance the Mayor says, in part: -. " "In connection with the present ab dication of the city's rights to retain this piece of property, I beg to sug gest that if it Is not eeded for a street, an enlightened sense of civic pride might suggest that it be dedicated to be used as a public- park or play ground for children, both of which are much needed In this city." He put his stamp of official disap proval upon another measure which provided for the vacation of a portion of West Avenue. In regard to It he says: "This is but one more of the never ending grist of donations of public property to private use for which the city receives no return. I can see no reason why If this parcel of land is to be parted with that the city should not receive some compensation." Another ordinance vetoed was one to close the City Hall Saturday afternoons. The Mayor says that such a measure would be unfair to the other city em ployes, many of whom work seven days a week. Such an ordinance, he says, to be ju'st and equitable, should have general application to all em ployes of the city. The ordinance to change the fire lim its on Fourteenth street so as to per mit the removal of the old Pacific Ho tel .building, the Mayor said, -was de fective in its wording. An ordinance to permit A. F. Swensson & Company to construct certain cement steps was ve toed on similar grounds. GAS PRESSURE TOO LOW Albina Citizens Complain, to Man agement of Company. A delegation composed- of 11 Albina business men held a conference with Manager Papst, of the Portland Gas Company, yesterday for the purpose of laying before him 'complaints against the gas service in that suburb. They based their protests on -the faot that the gas pressure there is so low that the lights often go out, making loss of life by aspltyxiation a constant danger. "The present gas service in our neigh borhood is certainly dangerous," said George Hockenyos, an Albina grocer, who was one of the delegation "ln my store the gas goes out about 6 o'clock in the evening; later it comes on again. The inspector visited the store some time ago and told me that that the trouble was that 1 didn't know how to light the gas, but he tried and succeeded no better. "In some of the stores and residences of those who have complained of the in adequate gas service the gas will all but go out, then come on again and so on for hours. "C. Lake runs a lodging house and has 24 jets burning in the evening, and with all these It is at times necessary for his roomers to strike matches in order to find their way about. "My gas bill last month was $3.35, while for the two months previous it was only $1.05, or "about one-third as much. J. Graham's bill for last month was about $6 as against $3 the month before. "Manager Papst, of the Portland Gas Company has promised us better service. He says he contemplates putting in larger mains next May. AVhen he received our complaint he gave orders Immediately for the- laying of an 8-inch main and for cutting oft upper Albina from the lower district, in order to give us more gas. He said he proposed to have the laying of this main finished in two or three weeks,. . He realized that we were not properly served, but the business was growing faster than the company could take care of it, he said." WHAT'S MA NAME? Asylum or Hospital, as a Place to Cure the Insane. DALLAS. Or., Dec. 14. (To the Ed itor.) If the state institution for the insane is changed from "Asylum" to "Hospital." what does it. matter? The place will always be thought' of as an asylum, anyway, so why all this talk? If it were called "Nuthouse," "Nut foundry" or "Lew Natic Inn Sane Asa Leum," it would still be associated in our minds as "asylum." Why not call the Oregon Peniten tiary a "Hospital for Felons?" The latter Institution is supposed to cure to a certain extent the desire on man's part to break the laws of his country, or to restrain the born criminal from committing further crime. A state Insane asylum is supposed to be an institution for the mental cure of people who have lost their minds, or to restrain them from doing bodily harm to themselves or others. And I believe, in too many ases, it is a place where the feeble-minded can be. put out of the way of their relatives, who do not wish to be burdened with their care. What "crank" started this agitation? His time would be put to better ad vantage if he used it in peeling: knot holes or making spinach out of green wall-paper with a pair of scissors. Better put him to work in "Rock Col lege." He would be a "Butte" for Kelly to shoot at. Maybe Johnson, the guard, could keep him busy polishing rock to be used as tombstones in Potter's field.

"Perhaps the people of Forest Grove and Hillsboro will be satisfied with the kind of electric roads that Mr. Loss is building," said Mr. Swigert. . He ventured this statement in a way that implied doubt in his own mind. Mr. Swigert then said that his com pany has not yet decided to build into Washington County, although Mr. White, of the firm of Moffat & White, announced the extension into Hillsboro from the main line of the Salem road when he was in Portland some months ago.

As to asking a bonus from Washing ton County people, Mr. Swigert yester day said he knew nothing. HILO ASKS INDORSEMENT Board of Trade to Consider Merits of Hawaiian Harbor Project. A special meeting of the new executive committee of the Board of Trade will be held next Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock. One of the subjects to be considered is the application by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, asking that Portland in dorse the project of building a break water at the port of Hilo on the island of Hawaii. The object of this break water is to give the island a safe harbor, and at the same time to begin the de velopement of thousands of acres of land suitable for the raising of tobacco, coffee, fruit and sugar. The lands are now pro ducing sugar only. These new products would give a trade with Portland which is now impossible because of the fact that the sugar product is bound to go to porta where sugar refineries are maintained. "The Hawaiian. Islands produced last year 88,000.000 pounds of sugar, of which 95 peri' cent was unrefined." said J. K. Laber of the Board of Trade yesterday, "thus indicating the necessity for the shipment of this product to ports where sugar refineries are maintained. These new and diversified products will give an opening for the maintenance of trade with other Pacific coast ports at which there are now no sugar refineries in operation." The committee will also consider the advertising of Portland by the means of maiiazfnes. Electric Company Sued for Damages. The damage suit of J. W.
