THE INDICTMENTS
Ross, Burkhart and Aitchison
Contend Bills Invalid in
Manner Obtained.
HILL WILL AWAIT OUTCOME
Arguments Set for Friday, and If
Motions Are Overruled, Defend
ant Bankers Must Plead Guilty
or Xot Guilty Court Xews. ,
Motion to quash the indictments
against them on charges growing out
of the wreck of the Title Guarantee
- Trust Company, were filed In the
State Circuit Court yesterday forenoon
by J. Thorburn Ross, T. T. Burkhart
and John B. Aitchiaon. The motions
are based on purely technical grounds,
bringing up several fine points of law.
Arguments will be heard before Judge
Cleland on Friday.
Irregularity In the drawing up and
securing of Informations under which
the'-accused are held Is made the'basis
of the "contentions for dismissal. The
fact that witnesses were examined and
the informations drawn up during the
bank holidays is construed by law
yers for the accused bank officials as
rendering the document illegal.
At 10 A. M. yesterday quite an as
semblage was at hand In Judge Cle
land's courtroom to see the four indict
ed officials arraigned. When the In
formations were returned last Monday
they were given' until yesterday in
which to prepare their pleas. The
gathering of spectators was doomed
to disappointment. Ross, Burkhart and
Hill did not come near the Courthouse.
Instead, Robert McCamant appeared be
fore the filing clerk and dumped an ar
ray of papers on the counter for filing.
Motions to quash and dismiss were en
tered In each of the four charges rest
against Ross.' Separate motions of a
like nature were filed for Burkhart
and Aitchison.
Must Plead If Overruled.
"George H. Hill, the fourth indicted
director and vice-president1 of ' the
wrecked bank, did not appear or file
papers. It was explained that he se
cured District Attorney Manning's con
sent to await the outcome of the mo
tions filed by the others.. In the event
the motions are overruled it will be
up to the four men to plead guilty or
not guilty formally under the four
charges resting against them, of which
two are f6r illegal stealing of state
funds, one of taking money for de
posit in an insolvent bank, knowing
same to be insolvent, and one for loan
ing state funds out at interest. Ross
and Burkhart are yet under $20,000
bail apiece while Hill and Aitchison
have up JS000 each.
The District Attorney's informations
are attacked in several different points.
First it Is set out in the motion to
quash that the documents Were pre
pared during the recent holiday period;
then, that the witnesses were exam
ined during the holidays; that the
names of all witnesses are not sub
scribed to the informations: that un
authorized persons were present at the
examination of witnesses, to the preju
dice of the accused; last, that the infor
mations were not filed in time.
M. I Pipes, lawyer, is named as hav
ing been present at the examination of
witnesses without authority. District
Attorney Manning contends that he had
every right to be there, as Is the duty
of Special Prosecutor at the outset of
the Investigation. As 'to delay in filing
the point is made that informations
must he tiled on the first or second day
preceding the next regular term of
court. This was not done.
Inquiry Conducted Daring Holidays.
In support of the motions Ross pre
s'ents aftldavits setting out that to the
best of his knowledge and belief the
examination of witnesses and the prep
aration of informations occurred during
the legal holiday period. He draws this
conclusion from reports in the public
press, purporting to be interviews with
Manning and others InterestedVln prose
cuting the case. Ross asks that Mr.
Manning be called as a witness to state
from the witness-stand when and
where the informations were prepared.
Affidavits of a like nature are pre
sented by Aitchison and Burkhart, who
make a special point of the fact that
all witnesses examined are not named
in the aftldavits. By a provision of the
Oregon code, it is necessary for a Dis
trict Attorney to insert names of wit
nesses on informations, else their testi
mony cannot be made use of. The
Burkhart-Aitehtson affidavit names a
number of witnesses examined in the
charges against them and not named
In the Informations. These ' witnesses
are M. ft Rankin. G. H. Hill. W. M.
I.add, Willis McGuire. Douglas Lawson.
John i Shield, Lafe Pence and E. C.
Mears.

ROB JUDGE O'DAY'S SAFE
Burglars Enter Offices in Chamber
of Commerce by Fire Escape.
Some time between Saturday night
and Monday morning burglars gained
entrance to the Chamber ot Commerce
building by means of the fire-escape
on the Fourth-street side and stole
$250 In bills from a safe In the office
of Judge Thomas O'Day. The money
belonged to William W. Banks who,
with L. W. Tarpley, occupies the same
suite of offices with Judge O'Day. It
is believed thai a watch and a locket
were taken from a private compart
ment In tjie safe which was used by
Mr. Tarpley, who is now in Chicago.
Judge O'Day is not positive that he
locked the combination on Saturday
night, so there is some doubt as to
whether the burglars were expert safe
openers, as the safe bears no marks,
and It may'be that, although the door
of the safe, was closed, the burglars
found the 'combination off and had an
easy job to get at the contents. Two
compartments of the safe were forced
open', one belonging to Judge O'Day
and the other to Mr. Tarpley. Judge
O'Day's contained an important will
and dome other valuable papers, but
these were not taken. They were
found on the fire-escape. It is not
known what was in Mr. Tarpley's com
partment, owing to his absence. What
ever It contained was taken, as tt was
found empty. Mr. Tarpley formerly
kept a watch and a locket there, but
the stenographer believes that these
were removed by Mr. Tarpley a few
days before he left the city.
The burglars showed that they
wanted money only, as there tvas a
complete set of valuable silverware In
the safe which they left behind. It
was found on the floor of the office.
Although several other offices with
windows fronting the fire escape were
entered, norning was. found missing
from them. A desk In the office of
Williams, -Wood & Linthlcum was
forced open and the contents ran
sacked, but nothing was taken.

TOWAGE AND PILOTAGE LAW
Xew Act Will Be Proposed by Initia
tive at Jane Election.
Advocates of an improved towage and
pilotage service on the Willamette and
Columbia rivers . will propose a law by
initiative at the election next June en
larging -she powers of the Port of Port
land. This determination was reached
yesterday at a conference between C. F.
Swlgert. the newly-elected president of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and
a number of the other members of the
organization. The extent to which the
authority of the corporation will be en
larged by the proposed act was not de
cided at yesterday's .meeting. The sub
ject will be considered further at other
meetings to be held this week, when a
bill will be prepared embodying the ideas
of the Chamber of Commerce and con
forming closely to the general provisions
of the Port of Columbia law which was
passed at the last session of the Legis
lature and was. recently declared uncon
stitutional by the Supreme Court.
No time will be wasted in the necessary
preliminaries, as the time for circulating
initiative petitions for signatures Is short.
Ail such petitions must be filed in the
office of the Secretary of State by Jan
pary 31. About 1500 signatures will be
reiuid.Ln Multnom1an, cuntZ.,Lesily.H
electors ot this county, and only a little
more than two weeks remain in which to
solicit these signatures. The members of
the Chamber of Commerce expect to have
the bill drawn up and initiative petitions
in circulation the latter part of the week,

ENTIRE CITY
IN
Cooper's New Theory Attracts Widespread
Attention During Stay in Cincinnati. y
An adequate idea of the intense in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Covper was introducing: his Ideas to
the peopW; of that city. The article
says: "The beginning- of Mr. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
Indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as in other
cities.
"From the first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him nave stead
ily Increa'sed, until now it has reached
a point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive 'that his claims are cor
rect. '"A number'- of Cinclnnatlans were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were secured.
The following are selected from these
statements and are characteristic of
them all: Mrs. M. E. Emerson, of 630
West Court street, said: 'I have suf
fered with stomach trouble and con
stipation for a year or so. When I
ate I would have bloated spells, sour
stomach, fermentation, bad taste in
rope, was placed on the stand. He 'testi
fied that the lights were properly hc.r.g
out on the vessel on the night in question.
Captain Spinner,, pilot of the Annie Com
ings, who was on watch at the time ih-it
the collision took place,, said that he did
not see the lights. The mate of the Europe
and the engineer and mate of the Annie
Comings also testified. Their testimony
was irrelevant.
Owners of -the Annie Comings have
brought suit against the. French bark for
$25,000. The Comings was broken In two
and was a total loss. Her crew escaped.
SAILORS ACCEPT "LESS WAGES
No Trouble Is Feared by the Steam-I
ship Companies,
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 13. (Special.)
According to Secretary Peterson, of the
Seamen's Union of the Pacific, there is
no trouble and will be no trouble between
the steamship companies and the- union
sailors. Mr. Peterson said:
"The sailors are expecting a reduction
In wages, but I don't think the union
will take any action in the matter."
The reason for the reduction In wages
as given, by shipping men Is the fact that
the freight rates are too low. When the
Phelps left Puget Sound she had on
board several union sailors who signed
on the voyage for J20 a momh. A sail
ing vessel belonging to the Globe Navi
gation Company has just signed a crew
of sailors for a foreign voyage and is
paying them $25 a month.
Weekly Concert for Seamen.
The Portland Seamen's Friend Society

my moutti. In the morning I was as
tired as when I went to bed. I had a
dull pain in the lower part of my back.
I have taken almost one bottle of the
Xew Discovery and am so wonderfully
improved that I have come down here
to thank Mr. Cooper in person and ob
tain more of the medicine.
-"Another individual interviewed was
Mr j J. H. Brooks, living at it'll Walnut
street, who had the following to say:
'For the past eighteen months I have
been a constant sufferer from catarrh
of the head and stomach. My nasal
passage would become inflamed and
sore. I would have severe headaches,
which affected my. eyes, and great
crusts of matter would drop into the
throat, causing an Irritation of the
bronchial passages, until the stomach
finally became poisoned. When I would
lay down at- night a phlegm would
gather in my throat until it almost
choked me, and would cause an ' an
noying cough. Half a bottle of
Cooper's New Discovery gave me re
lief and when the first bottle was fin
ished, I felt like a new man. I am
now 'completely cured and consider
Cooper's New Discovery the greatest
catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in
the world.' "
The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully successful throughout the
United States. We consider them re
markable medicines and would be
pleased to explain the nature of them.

NO ACTION ON CREMATORY
Committee Lets Question Sleep
While Chairman Is Absent.
The question' of a new garbage incin
erator for Portland will slumber Indefi
nitely as far as the action of the special
I Council committee of three is concerned,
i Chairman Baker has gone to Denver on
personal business and will be absent at
least a month, according to his state
ment at the last session of the Council.
In the meantime, nothing is being done
to bring about the establishment of the
cremators.
It is doubtful If very much more will
be done by the special committee, which
is composed of Councilmen Baker, An
nand and Dunning. Several sites for the
location of the projected incinerator were
offered and considered, but against every
one a large protest was filed by property
owners and business interests. Mr. Baker,
after wrestling with the problem for sev
eral sessions of the committee, announced
his belief that the best method of dis
posing of the problem is to submit It to
a vote of the people next June, .and it is
believed that the committee will prob
ably make this recommendation to the
Council, after Mr. Baker's return.

I NEVER FAIL
I would rather give up my practice
dulse In either guesa-wirk or make-believe cures
I have devoted twenty years to earnest and con
scientious endeavor to the unravrlment of some
of the most perplexing problems that ever con
fronted the profession, and believe that I have at
tained the limit of medical possibilities In my par
ticular branch of practice.
I do not treat symooms, I
treat to cure the disease behind
the symptoms. If the case
presents even the slightest fea
ture uDon vhieh 1 have doubt,
or If I re,cornle Incurable com
plications I positively refuse
treatment.
I have brought to Ilicht the
true nature of men's diseases
and the causes of the symptoms
they present. In addition. I
nave, by the scientific blending
of drugs, produced remedies that
meet every condition tnat it
seems possible to cure. Even the slightest relief, under my treatment, is genu
ine improvement a part of the permanent cure that is to follow. There Is
no cause to hesitate. Consultation costs nothing, and I will not offer my
services unless 1 can cure you.
Weakness Wrecks Men's Lives
Many a youth of splendid promise has failed In life because of some weak
ness the nature of which made him delay seeking medical aid until ft had
become serious, and greatly injured his life's opportunities. T have seen
thousands of these cases, and I have heard the stry of their suffering. Usually
there is also a history of Incompetent treatment by family doctors, patent
medicines, electric belts, and unprincipled medical Institutes and so-called
"specialists'
What Weakness Really Is
That there Is some functional derangement, the direct result of Inflamma
tion, enlargement or excessive sensitiveness' oT the PROSTATB GLAND, brought
on by early dissipation or resulting from improperly treated contracted dis
order. This condition CANNOT POSSIBLY he removed by internal medicines,
and any tonic svstem of treatment that stimulates the activity of the func
tion can- but result in aggravating the real ailment. This is a scientific truth
I hnve ascertained after a careful and scientific study and upon which my own
original system of treatment Is based. I employ neither tonics, stimulants nor
electric belts. I treat by LOCAL DIRECT METHODS exclusively, and my suc
cess in curing even those cases that others have failed to temporarily relieve
with their tonics is CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE that my method is the only
possible means of a COMPLETE, RADICAL AND PERMANENT CUKE.
My Guarantee Is Worth Something
