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:

merous replies received to our recent clr

of these is woman suffrage, which we op
pose because it is the declared Intention of

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.

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

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. ARTHUR CURTIS.

During the past few years "Mr. Dooley" has done

his shrewd comment and laughable dialogue with his

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.
