14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. JULY 30, 1907. HIS ACT 110 CRIME Law Winks at Passing - of Bottle on Sunday. SAM PHEGLEY SET FREE Police Judge Cameron Holds That Deed of Good Samaritan Is Not Punishable Under Court Decisions. "Whisky, whisky everywhere but not a drop to drink," thus Oeorse Hlggina mentally paraphrased a famous poem as he loitered in the rear of Blazier's saloon Sunday afternoon. Friend you look thirsty," said a voice in Hlsrglns' ear, at the same time passing a bottle to him. "You're a gentleman, sure," stammered Higglns, "and I thank you." But hardly had the bottle touched his lips when Offi cer Anderson In plain clothes happened along and addressing the men inquired who owned the bottle of whisky. Ac cording to the officer's testimony. Bam Phegley, one of the men present ac knowledged the ownership of the whisky. then, reco g n i x i n g Officer Anderson de nied he had any thing to do with it. On the stand Hig glns declared1 the whisky was given him by a man he did not know and that Phegley was not standing treat as charged. The evi dence for the prose cution failed to prove that the li quor was intoxicat ing. In his decision Judge Cameron said he did not think the statute covered cases of this kind that the passing of a bottle to a friend, who was to take a drink and return the bottle was not a vio lation of the Sunday closing law. The court cited the decis ion of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania in cases like this which was to the effect that the law had not been violated in a similar case. "It is- the intent and purpose for which the liquor is given that makes the crime," said the Judge. "The defendant will be discharged." By the decision of the Municipal Court yesterday morning two life-long friends were separated. Leander Farran and Jim Fitzgerald, members in good-standing of Vagrancy Lodge. Order of Booze fighters, arrived in Portland last Satur day and sought q u a r t er a for the night. Hotel accommoda tions being limited they were on the verge of despair lest they should be forced to seek rooms at the Hotel Camer ' on. Experience had not failed them along this line, however, for many a time a like fate had over taken them. With the assistance of one of Mr. Harriman's boxcars .they had saved themselves. "Aha!" exclaimed Farren. "my memory tells me friend Ed ward has a boxcar in the yards." "Truly spoken, old pal," returned Jim, "let us hasten lest there also we find ourselves c r o w d ed out." Fortune smiled upon these Sons of Rest in their last hope and soon they were nestled snugly in the corner of the car. But their good fortune began to frown for the eagle eye of the law detected their whereabouts and thus the Hotel Cameron was not cheated after all. "What do you plead?" asked the Judge. "Guilty," answered the pair. "I think you two have traveled together long enough. . It's time you changed partners " "But, your honor " interrupted Far ran. "Yes, I know," said the Judge, "I'll let you leave first. Mr. Fitzgerald may remain here awhile so as to give you a good start." With a last look of farewell the com rades parted but who doubts but that there will be a reunion in the near future perhaps in a boxcar. PRINCIPLES OF PARTIES County Judge Jewell Gives Impres sions of Current Politics. GRANTS PASS, Or.. July 29 (To the fcdltor.) The Oregonian of last Thursday contained an article over the signature of Judge Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton, which rallies a few questions that are worthy of further notice. The Judge is certainly correct In hup state ment that Roosevelt la not a Democrat and that Bryan la not a Rejmbllcan. But he U iuet a little faulty in hta definition of Repub lcan and Democratic principles. It Is true that the Republican party stand for protective tariff, centralization of government and lib eral constructloa of the constitution (or more correctly speaking, loose construction of the constitution), and that the Democratlo party opposes all of these, but It la not true that the Republican iparty holds to sound money and that the Democratic party holds to cheap tnoney. The real Democrats of thia country believe that money la simply a medium of exchange and not a commodity of speculation. We believe that the money trust Is the most Bangerous and most demoralizing of all trusts. Judge Lowell tells us that Mr. Roosevelt stands opposed to "tariff for revenue only. Cheap money, state rights and strict con struction of the constitution." If this b true, (hen It Is clear that the President Is not a Democrat. Of course, we deny that "cheap tnoney" la any part of our Democracy. "We lo claim, however, that the nights of the Kates and of the individual citizen should be respected. We also believe that no state ftr Individual ha a right t trespass upon the tight of other states or Individual. In Ihls we are very far from being in harmony with our Republican brethren. And to the violation of this principle of American democracy can be traced all of the moral tnd political evils that have ever afflicted this tr any other country. If each individual citizen could learn to re inject the rights of all other clttzens and each government learn to respect the fights of all trther governments. It would not be long un til the Republican party would be out of luslness. The present Republican high tariff L purely in the Interest of the few against he many. In fact, the beneficiaries of high larlff. land monopoly, railroad extortion, bank Eg privileges and all other trust-produclag lauses are here by the grace of Republican awmaker. The cause were incorporated IPC i i into our administrative policy over the protest of the Democratic party. Our Republican friend are very inconsistent in their present attitude towards the trust magnate. These gentlemen are the legitimate production of Republican legislation. The trust-, producing eed was sown 40 years ago and a long as its fruit was confined to the South and the Philippine Islands, Republican con vention were pleased to "point with pride." The present administration Is wasting it energy at the wrong end of the trust evil. What good will It do to prosecute a few of the fortuats fellows in the trust gang and let the system Itself continue? Why not begin at the right place and destroy the cause of corruption? A long as the causes of political corruption exist, it I wrong to prosecute men who are making use of these causes. The present administration openly Indorses our present banking system, our' present high tariff system, our Plnkerton system, our rail road system and the disgraceful tyranny that has been exercised for the past eight years in the Philippines. And until some effort I made to remove these blot from our Ameri can civilization, thinking men will regard the present "trust howl" as a grand farce. STEPHEN JBWELL PLANS STILL UNREVEALED Speculation Rife Concerning Mount Hood Railway's Line Location. GRESHAM, Or., July 29. (Special.) In terest in the railroad Is Increasing, since it became definitely known that the pro jectors of the Mount Hood line were real ly at work. The extensive preparations and actual work being done at Bull Run have had the effect of producing much speculation as to where the road will be located through that portion of the county- between Montavilla and the Sandy River. Not a foot of right of way has been se cured yet, so far as known, although several surveys have been made. The camp locator of Mason & Davis, railroad contractors, is here, however, seeking available spots on which to settle con struction crews. He has made a guarded statement that work will begin at Cleone, where a tralnload of tools, engines and other material is now being unloaded. His camps will be located about every three miles from Cleone to Bull Run. From all appearances the company will be at work within a week throwing dirt, and it has been said that the road will be built first and right of way secured af terward. A telephone wire has been strung upon the poles of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company from Portland to Sandy. From there the Mount Hood peo ple will make their own line to Bull Run. Such a service will be sufficient until they can erect their own line all the way, along their railway track. Teams are still hauling machinery and material to Bull Run and men are being employed as fast as possible, the wages being from $2. BO to 13 a day. It has been reported by those who pro fess to know that the line will run south from Cleone, crossing the Base Line about half a mile west of the Twelve Mile House. From that point it will make a detour toward Gresham, but leaving that place half a mile to the south. Then it will follow an easy grade to the mouth of Bull Run River, where the power plant is being installed. Future developments will be eagerly looked for by the people of this section, as many are very much interested in the location of the road, as affecting their property. WILIi ERECT OFFICE BUILDING Mount Hood Railway Buys Site on the East Side. The Mount Hood Railway Company has just purchased from E. J. Latimer the southwest corner quarter on Union avenue and East Stark street for $15. 000. At present the quarter 13 not oc cupied, but it is announced that the purchase was made for the purpose of erecting a four-story brick for the offices of the Mount Hood Railway Company This company has made nu merous purchases on East Stark street and owns the northwest quarter on East Stark street and Union avenue, besides several lots and quarters be tween Union and Grand avenues. East Stark street is being filled rapidly, and the Impression is general that this company will have its entrance to the city on this street. ANNOYANCES AT YAQUINA Is Anybody In Authority Over Rail road Operations There? PORTLAND, July 29. (To the Editor.) The matter of the annoyance caused that portion of the public who are in convenienced by the existing rules whlci require a person purchasing a round-trip ticket to Newport to he virtually forced to go there can, in my estimation, be very easily remedied by having their tickets validated at the summit, as was the method for a long time. Lincoln County, more than any other undeveloped county in the State of Ore gon, requires settlers, and it certainly is pretty rough on them after looking over the country all day and getting to Eddyville, Elk City or Toledo, to find the train gone and to be forced to re main over all day in order to go to New port and remain there all night to get his ticket validated next morning. Lincoln County is a land of great pos sibilities and besides its agricultural, dairying, fishing and pomological re sources to my certain knowledge con tains vast undeveloped deposits of iron and copper; also coal. Many settlers are expected, so I ask the officials of the C. & E., however much they may personally object, to accommodate the public; to do so in this Instance more especially as the road now belongs to the Harriman system and there is a strong impression abroad that Mr. Harriman likes to have productive property along his lines. To my certain knowledge the Southern Pacific officials in Portland have done all they can to retrieve this annoyance, but every time we enquire why "some thing" has not been done we are in formed it is up to a C. & E. 'official at Albany named Nevins. So, Mr. Nevlns, "here's hopin'." F. J. PARKER. Gresham Grange Plans Fair. GRESHAM, Or., July 29. (Special.) A committee from Gresham Grange has taken the first definite steps toward holding a county fair at this place. The committee, consisting of John F. Roberts, Theodore Brugger, H. E.

E Lighthouse Tender Reaches Port From the North. CAPTAIN WERLICH HOME Supplies Delivered to All Stations and Equipment Inspected Vessel Absent on Trip 72. Days. News of the Waterfront. Captain P. J. Werlich, Inspector of the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, re turned yesterday from the North, where he has been for the past 70 days on a tour of Inspection. Captain Werlich arrived in Seattle Sunday on the tender Armerla. During the time the Inspector was in Alaskan waters a number of changes were made in the aids to navigation in those regions.

The Armerla will take a small quantity of coal on the Sound, and will proceed to Astoria. DREDGE RIVER BELOW SALEM Engineers Dig Channel, Pull Snags and Build a Dam. SALEM, Or., July 29. (Special.) In connection with the work of the United States Engineers' snag-puller, Math loma, which is pulling snags from the channel of the Willamette River a few miles below this city, a portion of the $60,000 appropriated by Congress for improvement of the Willamette Is be ing expended in dredging the main channel of the river to a depth of four feet over the shallow bars by Dipper Dredge No. 2, in command of Foreman Henry Griffin. The Mathloma is mak ing good progress in the work - of stump-pulling, and is assisting the dredge, also. Besides deepening the channel the crews of the Mathloma and Dipper Dredge are building a 1000-yard rock revetment and a wing dam at Wheat land, to keep the river from cutting through into Lambert Slough. This work will entail the expense of several thousand dollars and will be of great value to the owners of property below that point whose lands are inundated and damaged to no small extent when ever there le a freshet In the river. It is expected that the dredger will go farther up the river, when it has finished its task below here, and open the channel as far as the limit of the appropriation will permit, in the effort to restore navigation toward Eugene.

Rich red blood naturally results from taking Hood's Sarsaparllla. It tones the whole system. When the blood becomes infected with unhealthy humors the effect is shown on the skin in the form of pimples, rashes, eruptions, or some other type of skin disease. These humors circulating in the blood, come in con tact with the delicate tissues and fibres of the skin and produce irritation and inflammation, and often excessive itching and burning. Trying to cure skin troubles with external applications is treating the effect instead of the cause. Such treatment perhaps allays some of the itching and discomfort, but does not reach the blood where the real source of troubles lies. A thor ough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for humors in the blood. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, is the proper treatment. It goes down into the circulation and neutralizes the humors and removes them from the blood. 8. S. S. supplies the blood with the fresh, healthy properties necessary to sustain the skin and keep it free from disease. S. S. S. cures Eczema, Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, pimples, boils, rashes, and all other skin affections and diseases, because it purifies the blood and removes the humors which are responsible for the trouble.

LOVE'S DREAM SHUTTERED IRATE FATHER FOILS YOUTH FUL EL.OPERS. Prevents 17-Year-Old Charles Breckinridge From Joining Grace Nolan in Tacoma. An elopement out of the ordinary, was brought to sudden grief last night by the police, when Charles Breckinridge, 17 years of age, was arrested by Patrolman Ben Peterson. The lad is in love with Grace Nolan, a 16-year-old miss, who until yesterday lived with her parents near the North Paclflo Mills, North Port land. She is now In Tacoma, waiting in vain for her boy lover, who made bold to carry out a plan to marry her in the City of Destiny. Breckenridge placed the girl on board a Northern Pacific train at Linnton, instructing her to get off at Tacoma and meet him when the follow ing train should pull in. He declined to accompany her, he said, because he feared the police would be on the lookout for him and arrest him. Miss Nolan's father caused the arrest of Breckinridge, but only after the latter had played a clever and all but success ful game to win the girl of his heart. Young Breckinridge, who came from Ta coma six weeks ago found employment in a local foundry, boarded and roomed at the Nolan home. He fell in love with the daughter. Last night he said he did not approve of the way her father made her work. He therefore determined that he would take the case into his own hands and better her condition himself. He decided on an elopement and pro ceeded at once to carry out his plans. Tacoma, his old home, seemed the best place to go, but before he could get away from the city with his sweetheart her father learned of his Intentions and located .him; taking him to task for his duplicity. Nolan finally arranged that young Breckinridge should bring Miss Nolan back to her home and let matters rest. Instead of keeping his promise Breckinridge met the girl again and took her to St. Johns at which place he secured a boat and rowed her across the river to Linnton. There he placed her aboard the Tacoma train, and telling her he would follow her. He was arrested on his re turn to Portland. This morning the police will take Miss Nolan lnto custody in Tacoma and send her home. GEN. PICKETT NEAR DEATH Technically Under Arrest Since Bat tle of Cold Harbor. WORCESTER, Mass., July 29.

Almost Killed by Elephant. NEW YORK, July 29. Gunda, an ele phant In the Bronx Park Zoological Gar dens, which amuses crowds by picking up the nuts thrown him and carefully hoard ing them, all but killed a man he be lieved was trying to rob him. The man is Otto Hoffman, a keeper. Hoffman has had 16 years' experience with wild ani mals, but had been Gunda's keeper for only a week, and was evidently Ignorant of the animal's idiosyncrasies. He was on the point of picking up a cent, which had rolled out of the reach of Gunda's trunk, when the animal flew into a rage, grabbed him and dragged him into the cage. By clinging to the elephant's tusks the keeper managed to keep himself from being trodden to death. Other keepers prodded the animal with pitchforks until Hoffman could get out of the cage. When he did so he fainted. A doctor found the man was badly bruised and had a crushed rib and a bruised liver. He is in a se rious way. Hear Complaints September 2. SALEM. Or., July 29. (Special.)
