Through an official oversight on the
part of either the District Attorneys of
fice or of the County Clerk's. Charles W.
Walton will be taken from a felon's cell
In the penitentiary today anil brought
to Portland for a new trial. Walton nas
served four years of a 30-year 'sentence.
t was only of late that the official over
sight was passed upon by the Supreme
Court.
Klther Walton did not plead when ar
raigned in the State Circuit Court, or the
pleading was nod entered on the court
records. In either event he Is entitled to
another trial, under one of the endless
technicalities with which the law fairly
bristles. The District Attorney's office
contends that Walton did plead and that
the matter was carelessly left off the
records. On the other hand, the court
. attaches declare that no plea was ever
entered. The late Judge Frazer said he
did' not believe Walton ever entered a
formal plea.
Under a recent ruling of the Supreme
Court, no prisoner may be tried and con
victed without first undergoing the for
malitv of arraignment. Walton's case
was set and tried without that formality,
at least, according to the records, ana
hence it would not be possible to hold
him. The Supreme Court, Instead of re
leasing the young man In its decision,
gave authority for a new trial.
Judge Cleland issued the order yester
day directing Sheriff Stevens to receive
custody of the prisoner from the super
intendent of the State Prison. The trial
will be set at an early date, after Walton
has first had an opportunity to plead.
No chances of irregularity will be taken
this time.
Walton shot Patrolman Nelson more
than four years ago. Nelson was riding
on the front platform of a Willamette
Heights streetcar when Walton got on
behind and attempted to rob the pas
sengers at the point of a. revolver. Nel
son courageously attacked the thug "ana
was severely wounded, but he managed
to disarm and capture the murderous
robber.
When taken up for arraignment, Wal
ton asked time to enter his plea. Several
weeks later he was placed on trial, and
there is no record to show he ever gave
his plea. On the charge of attempted
robberY he was sentenced to 10 yuars,
and on the charge of attempting to mur
der the policeman the sentence was 20
years.
Whether he will fare any better in the
new trial is a matter of considerable
speculation at the Courthouse. Patrol
man Nelson Is still In the city, but the
two carmen are no longer here, and the
prosecution may have a hard row to hoe.
SUES STANDARD OIL COMPANY.
Coal Oil Barrel .Said to Have Con
tained Dlstolite.
Attributing the death of his little daugh
ter to 1he carelessness of the Standard
Oil Company -in putting oils In barrels,
Krnest Peterson, of TrouWale, is suing
the company to collect $7500 damages.
The case was placed on trial In the State
Circuit Court yesterday and will probably
go to the Jury today.
The child was burned to death in at
tempting to light a fire with coal oil. The
liquid exploded when placed In an ordi
nary kitchen stove at a time when the
heat was less than. 120 degrees Fahren
heit. It is alleged. The law provides that
kerosene must meet heat of that intensity
without exploding.
While the oil was sent out by the com
pany as tjrdinary kerosene, It is said that
tiie stuff was in fact a more highly com
bustible fuel known as distolite. After It
had exploded at contact with a compara
tively low temperature, Aaron Fox, the
grocer who sold it, tested the oil In the
barrel, only to find it was distolite. ,
Two witnesses were examined yester
day, Ernest Peterson, father of the little
girl who was killed, and Fox. Fox said
ie kept three barrels at his store, two for
kerosene and one for distolite. He sent
them to the local branch of the Standard
Oil Company to be' refilled and after he
had sold about 60 gallons of distolite for
coal oil, discovered the mistake. '
Sets Bank Officials' Hearing.
Not until February 17 will the indicted
officials of the Title Guarantee & Trust
l.'ompany have to figure on .new means
of avoiding arraignment on charges of
theft and fraud In connection with their
management of the Insolvent bank. The
demurrers to informations filed in. behalf
of J. Thorburn .Ross, T. T. Burkhart
and John. K. Aitchison were set for ar
gument yesterday by Circuit Judge ClOi
land. The. arguments will be heard on
the afternoon of February 17.
PaquefCase Up Today.
The damage suit of Mrs. Hattle F. Pike
wine against Joseph Paquet was placed
on trial yesterday before Circuit Judge
O'Day. Mrs. Pikewine fell into a sewer
excavation 18 feet deep at Twenty-third
and Clinton streets during last Summer
ajid sustained injuries which she rates at
J10.060. Paouet was the sewer contractor
In charge of the work. Motion for non
suit was denied and the case will be re
newed today.
Asks Dismissal or Suit.
Dismissal is asked by the Northern Paci
fic Terminal Company of the $10,000 dam
age suit filed by Stella Latiry. wlio was
run down by a switch engine In the ter
minal yards last October. Contributory
negligence is alleged, and it Is set out that
the woman ran directly in . front of the
engine while it was in motion and after
she had been warned. Motion for dis
missal was filed yesterday with the Cir
cuit Court.
Drop Charge Against Johnson.
Dr. Samuel W. Johnson, the Fast Side
physician, arrested last Spring for beat
ing his young wife, will not have to face
a second trial. The 'Circuit Court jury
which tried the case last Fall disagreed
yesterday and the matter was dropped on
motion of the District Attorney. it is
understood the Johnsons have patched up
their differences..

DOORS KEPT OP EN 'AT NIGHT
Merchants National Adopts Course
to Facilitate Reorganization.
For the first time, the Merchants Na
tional Bank was open last night to
receive deposits for time, certificates.
The plan of keeping the doors open
from 7 till 10 P. M. worked well last
night, and it Is expected that this will
be the means of attracting many people
who cannot visit the bank during the
daytime. President Watson hopes to
secure many subscriptions to time cer
tificates of deposit within the next few
days, so that the bank may reopen at
once. .
E. H. Geary, who was brought up in
Portland and has been assistant cashier
of the Union National Bank, Oakland,
Cal., until recently, la 6taying in the
city for a few days, and tells what
was done in the case of that bank,
which was forced to close November 6.
The deposits in the bank were about
the same as in the Merchants National,
and the same plan of reorganization
was followed.
By notices in the Oakland papers and
by personal solicitation of officers and
directors of the bank, ,all deposits were
sig-ned off with the exception of about
$L'00,000. The bank was enabled in this
way -to reopen January 2, less than two
months from the time It closed. Since
resuming business, the bank haa aver
aged twice as many deposits as with
drawals. "This shows," says President Watson,
"that the plan is feasible, and that, if
depositors would be more prompt in
taking certificates of deposit, the doors
of the. institution woyld swing open
within a very short time."
HELP FOR MRS. GITTINGS
Public Asked to Aid Wife of Mur
dered O nicer.
The members of the Portland Police De
partment are continuing their work of ad
ministering to the needs of Mrs. J. W.
Gittings, widow of the policeman wno was
murdered last December. The wives of
the police officers have formed an organi
zation for assisting their husbands in the
work they have undertaken. The new
Gittings home will be ready for occupancy
as soon as the lathing and plastering are
completed. The wives of the patrolmen
are soliciting donations of clothing for the
children, and at the instance of their or
ganization, the following notice has been
issued: . ...
P'artics desiring to contribute- clothing or
donations of any kind for th purpose of
making- comfortable the home of Mns. J. W.
Gittings and children may send same to the
home of Mrs. K. J. West, North Fif
teenth street, who will ece that they are
properly delivered. The patrolmen's wives
will .hold tm?ir next meeting- at Mrs. Crad
dock's residence, 6ti Shaver St., when it is
desired that as many of the patrolmen's
wives wjll come &s can, as their assistance
Is badly needed.
Has the So-Called "Money Strin
gency" Affected the Traveling
Public?
In seeking information on this subject,
our attention was naturally attracted to
the Portland Trunk Mfg. Co., 'who make
it their sole. and exclusive business to
cater to those people who travel. This
firm has been engaged in the manufacture
and sale of trunks in Portland for the
past 10 years! They also carry the
largest supply of leather goods In the
Northwest.
. Owing to the. specialty of the "above
business, the company, through its sales
men in their retail stores, also through
communication from their many whole
sale customers throughout the Northwest,
come in. contact wTith the traveling public
to a great extent. Mr. C. A. Partlow,
general manager, has this to say:
"We find our business Increasing day
by day and take an optimistic view of the
future: We expect more business in our
line this year than the one just past,
though it was very prosperous. Our
faith in the future is Bhown by the open
ing of anofher retail store on Morrison
street: making three stores in all for the
city trade and, in the wholesale line, we
are broadening our territory, taking in
Honolulu and Alaska.
"We can truthfully say that the so-called
'money stringency' does not affect the
traveling public as seen from our stand
point. In a few more days our closed
banks will reopen- again stronger than
ever. Then wo will forget it and all go
to work for the greater Portland which
is at hand."
SNOW IN .PORTLAND BRINGS OUT THE YOUNGSTERS ANI
E
Colonel Dosch Tells About the
Progress of Seattle. Fair.
PREDICTS BIG ATTENDANCE
Portland Man Who Is Director of
xlilblts and Privileges Says
the Paid Admissions Will
Reach $3,000,000.
Colonel H. EL Dosch, director of ex
hibits and privileges at the Seattle Im
position, Is spending a few days in Port
land, having returned from Seattle where
he has been for some time engaged in
hia official duties in connection with the
fair. He estimates that the attendance
at the Exposition will be not less than
3,000,000, basing his figures on the attend
ance at other expositions with which he
has been connected, and particularly On
the generous attendance at the Lewis and
Clark Fair.
Colonel Dosch says everything is going
along well at Seattle and everything will
be complete toy Juno I, 1909, when the
Fair gates will open. He said:
I went to Seattle on the first day of Jan
uary to enter on my appointment as di
rector of exhibits and privileges, and assist
in the orsanization of the other divisions,
which are now not only ready for action but
are letting contracts for exhibit space
and concessions: thAse two divisions are sim
ply snowed under with applications for ex
hibit space. Bales privileges and concessions
of all kinds.
The now famous "Seattle spirit." which
;is really a wonderful. Indescribable some
thing, but has hold of every 6eattlelte and
gets hold' of everybody who comes within
Its atmosphere. If only for a day, like the
grip, and never lets go. seems to have
spread beyond the corporate limits of the
city and has taken i hold of' all old and
many 'new exhibitors, many of whom learned
a thing or two at the Lewis and Clark Ex
position at Portland several years ago.
Knowing tbe possibilities of the Pacific
Northwest are falling over "each other to
secure front seats, so the question which I
see rising on your lips, "Is the Fair going
to be a success?" need not be asked, for It'
is going to be- Just as much of a success as
the Lewis and Clark Exposition was. and
just as beneficial to the entire Pacific North
west. Yes, the money stringency has -delayed us
a little, but only a little. Just a few weeks,
but we are now going ahead full force and
speed, with all sails set square to the wtnd.
Seven of our main buildings are now under
construction and the others soon will be.
all to be ready and complete for oecur.&ney
November 1.. By New Year's. 1I09. every
thing will be In running order foV the in
stallation of exhibits and concessions, so
when the- turnstiles begin to click on the
first day of June, everything; will be com-,
plete and in apple-pic order.
Pessimists? Oh. yes: we - have a few
who persist in seeing only the hole in the
doughnut, but scarcely half a dozen" of them;
we have them in every exposition city, even
Portland was not exempt from them, but
these are usually the first to swing into
.line, when the completed exposition looms
up.
What do I Judge the total attendance will
be? Well. It is a little early to make pre
dictions, but based on my exposition exper
iences, I should be very much disappointed
if the total admissions would fall below
3.000.000. Now, don't look so astonished,
this is not guess work. Just let me figure It
out for you. Seattle and Tacoma, which
will be practically as one, will have In 1909
double the population Portland had In JOOo:
Washington in 1009 will have about double
the population Oregon had in 19t.Y The
2.VM1O0 visitors to the Lewis and Clark Ex
position from, east of the Rocky Mountains
all went home so well pleased with what
they saw. of the Immense possibilities of our
country, the kind treatment they received
on every hand, that practically all have be
come missionaries In the good cause of Im
migration, and it is safe to predict that at
least each has mada one convert, and to
gether with the low rates 'assured by the
trans-contlliental railroads, double the visi
tors will seek the hospitable shores of the
Pacific.
Portland was Intensely loyal to its Ex
position, hence we reached 1.800,000 paid ad
missions, and I -think hardly anybody wtll
dare dispute at least equal loyalty on .the
part of Seattle to the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc
Exposition; so you see It does not take any
stretch or Imagination that the paid ad
missions will reach 3.OO0.OO0.
The Bite of the Exposition was well
chosen ., It is said that comparisons are
odious, which, however, does not apply here.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition site wis
unquestionably the handsomest of all ex
positions and so s the Alaska-Yukon-Paeine
Exposition site; located on the university
grounds sloping gently to and skirted by the

Carreno Recital at the
Harqaam
PASCINATING beyond the ordinary as
a woman and artiste, Madame Teresa
Carreno met with an enthusiastic recep
tion at her concert at the Marquam. The
ater last night, and gave' unmistakable
proof that she has arrived at the sublime
point of being in the very front rank of
the world's great pianists. The concert
was uncier the direction of Misses Lois
Steers and Wynn Coman, and both music
and society were well represented in the
largo audience which crowded the the
ater. The last time I heard Carreno was In
a Western Massachusetts town made
famous by the immortal genius of Haw
thorne, and at that time thought her
piano-playing as good as that of. any of
the great artists on tour, and since then
have often wondered as the years have
come and gone how Carreno's art has
mellowed and matured. Last night I got
the answer! And such a gratifying sur
prise it was to listen te such gradation
6f tonal tints, astonishing pedal effects
and technique of the very highest order.
The poetry of her tone had better be
described as hypnotic, for want of a bet
ter word. In her art, there is no strain
ing after effect, no sensational, chord-crashing-upon-chord
-pyrotechnics. And
there Is sanity, clarity, and dignified
authority.
Nature has been klndl to Carreno. With
out her marvelous health and physique,
cherry cheek, and bright eyes she could
not possibly work up such a tremendous
piano climax when occasion calls. Her
physical resources are so great that It is
difficult to believe that one person is
playing the piano when Carreno is at the
keys. One unconsciously thinks of a sym
phony orchestra. As a master hand rev
erently mixes the colors for a great pic
ture before creating the beauty of sky
or flower, so Carreno, in painting color
effects, in building, tone upon tone until
the perfect presentation is reached, is al-'
ways a tone poet. ' Some one in speaking
of a pianist who had achieved a great
artistic triumph said that the playing
reminded him of ivory falling on marble
in the moonlight. On the same analogy,
Carreno's piano playing reminds me of
rose petals falling in a garden where the
air is vocal with the glad singing of joy
ous birds. In their shower of blessings,
the gods have been good to her. In the
larger sense of. the word. Carreno can
be clajmed as a native American artist
for was she not bom at Caracas, Ven
ezuela? v ,
Carreno's first number last night was
a Beethoven Sonata, and the military
motif in the allegro assai movement was
Impressively played. The finish was a
triumphant one, and the fair artiste had
to responB to three recalls. The Chopin
Prelude, opus 28. No. 15 was .like a beau
tiful effect in lace, and the Nocturne,
with a recurring strain frm -which the
song "Alice Where. Art Thou?" has been
taken, was a thoughtful study. The
Etude was dashingly played, and had to
be repeated. The Eolonaise was the most
showy of the group, and was marvelously
built up to a thunder-finish. An encore
was demanded, and Carreno graciously
responded with a falry-llke. dainty "Ber
ceuse," by Chopin. The Romanza and
Barcarolle, by Rubinstein, were read with
appreciative sentiment, and "La Cam
panella." by Pagannini-Liszt, was sensa
tional in its execution. The three Liszt
numbers with which the concert closed",
especially the "Rhapsodie Hongrolse, No.
6." formed a fitting climax to such a rare
musical treat. The applause was nearly
defeanlng and Carreno's goodbye "encore
was a "Walzer" of her own competition.
"This is the first time I have played In
Portland." said Carreno. afterward. "The
people of this city .have been so appreci
ative. It is a pleasure to play for such
good friends."
This morning .Carreno leaves for her
Tacoma concert. 4-

Portland Sliri and Slides Over the

Moderates to the Re
lief of the Grown-ups.
The snow, the snow, the beautiful snow,
You step on a piece and away you go
Thl3 expressed the average man's opin
ion of the light downfall of the fleecy
stuff yesterday, which was the very first
snow of the season. People were slipping
about the sidewalks all day, dodging
snowballs sent hurtling through the air
by small boys, saying unkind things about
the weather but for the most part keeping
indoors all they could, for the average
Portland citizen hates snow like a hen
does water.
Horses had the time of their life try
ing to keep their feet on the smooth as
phalt. The stuff would ball up under
their hoofs and they slipped around in a
most uncertain fashion. Some few driv
ers were thoughtful enough to wrap their
horses' feet with burlap, which made their
footing more secure. But most of the
animals had to take their chances. Snow
is ,so unusual here anyway that this
means of keeping a horse from slipping
did not seem to be generally known.
Vigorous Swinging of Brooms.
Housewives did not like the snow either,
for it 'covered the walks in the residence
districts and many were out with brooms
brushing it off. Even the. inch of the
white mantle that covered the ground
was unwelcome to almost aU groinups.
But what fun it brought to the-"kids!"
As soon as they opened their eyes yester
day and saw the big flakes drifting down,
they got out in It with sleds and had lots
of fun coasting." Almost every nearly
hill had its quota bt coasters. It .was
hard for the children to have, to stop
when schooltime came, in fact many of
them could not forego the unusual sport
to attend school and the number of pu
pils who played hookey yesterday was
unusually large. Those who did attend
unwillingly cast many longing glances out
at the failing snow and at recess they
were out snowballing and making snow
men..
How they longed fqr the day to pass so
they could be out having fun in the snow
and many urgent requests were sent down
to 'busy men In he city to send out a sled
so the children could use it the moment
school was 'out. But about the time they
were freed, the snow turned into slush
and the flakes became rain.
Melting Before Nightfall.
Probably every boy and girl in the city
had their faces washed yesterday more
vigorously than for a long time. .This
was the favorite diversion at recess and
then the boys took a snowball back to
their desks with them and dropped freez
ing particles dow the back of the fellow
In the seat ahead.
It ws a glorious day for the children.
They only wished that it would snow
every day. for the "beautiful" did not last
long. By dark it was disappearing rap
idly, melting In the rain. Grownups who
had planned sleighing parties last night
were disappointed 'but almost everyone
over 15 years old welcomed tne balmy
drizzle. Oregon rain is preferred general
ly to snow.
The snow that fell yesterday was meas
ured by the Weather Bureau as rain and
amounted to .16 inches. Forecaster K. a.
Beals promises that there will be no
more cold weather today and that the
rain will continue for a time. The cold
spell is over, having lasted four days,
which is as long as frigid breezes are al
lowed to play through the city.
The storm yesterday was n6t a general
one and did not extend for a great dis
tance in any direction. . The railroads ex
perienced no delays or inconvenience
whatever because of the snow. It was
not heavy enough to cause any damage.
On the whole, though, almost everyone
is glad the belated spell of Christmas
weather Is over.
The groundhog made his appearance as
per schedule yesterday, failed to find his
shadow, however, and returned to his
burrow to hibernate1 a while longer.

J CMCS L. MEIER TELLS ABOUT
BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Portland and the Pacific Northwest
Suffered Little in Compari
son, He Says.
That Portland and tbe Pacific North -west
fared far better during the recent
panic than other sections of tlie coun
try, and particularly the East, is the
opinion of Julius Merer, of the firm of
Meier & Frank Company. Mr. Meier
returned Sunday night, after spending;
five weeks In the Hast. He visited
Chicago, Rochester, BurTalo, New York.
Washington. Omaha, and many other of
the large cities of the country and no
where did he find conditions as reassur
ing as in Portland.
'Merchants I talked with reported
that their business had fallen off to a
great degree," said Mr. Meier. "From
everything I could learn, the Kat has
suffered far more severely than the
Pacific Northwest. There were signs of
improvement, however, and conditions
will grow better right along in tho
jcast, although recovery may be slow
in comparison with tho progress made
by the Pacific Coast.
"I found a growing desire among
people throughout the East to see the
Western country rather than to go
abroad. The West i arousing a great
deal of interest; people back there are
thinking about us and are surprised
at the steady business conditions out
here, which are hi contrast to affairs
there. They have heard also of our
Rose Festival and the many things we
are Interested In. Our firm position In
the business world has caused the Kast
to sit up and take notice more than
any other one thing."
While away, Mr. Meier was inter
viewed many times by Kastern papers,
as well as by prominent merchants and
business men. To all, he told the story
of Portland's great growth nd the out

gripe. They don't, like cathartics, waste the digestive fluids.

Cascarets do only what some foods will do, what some fruits will -do,
what exercise does for the bowels.
Their action is natural, not artificial.
If you live out-doors, excercise a great deal, and avoid rich foods, you
don't need them.
Otherwise you do.
The most helpful laxative ever devised is Cascarets.
Then, they are candy tablets, pleasant to take.
Then, they are convenient. The ten-cent box fits the vest pocket or tha
lady's purse.
That is a vital point.
The time to take a laxative is the minute you suspect that you need it.
Don't wait till you get home; don't wait till night.
One Cascaret, taken promptly, wards off trouble.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never
in bulk. Be sure to get the genuiqe, with C C C on every tablet. Tha
price is SO cents, 25 cents and
10 Cents per Box.
