Says Trial Disclosed . What
Crookedness John H. Hall
Was Guilty Of.
NOT A GOOD PROSECUTOR
Preacher Declares Hair's Record ol
X e Years Did Not Reflect Credit
on Him Moral Lessons
From the Case.
PORTLAND, Feb. 12. (To th Editor.)
I read with care the letter of Hon. John
II. Hall, addressed to me, asking what
crookedness he had been guilly of, and
secondly, what blame attaches to him in
the matter of dismissing the Indictment
against W. E. Burke? In reply will say.
that the sermon of Sunday night was not
on the character of Mr. Hall or his po
litical career, much less to express an
opinion on the dismissal of the case
against Burke. Burke's name was not
mentioned by me, but a mass of evi
dence was presented In the case, in court,
which gave a perfect picture of the- way
public office was secured and handled,
and the method in which political
schemes were conducted during the old
rpgime. My sermon was therefore on
"Moral Lessons from the Hail Trial."
'And it was delivered for the purpose of
pointing out the evils of the system in
vogue in Oregon politics in the last
decade, and pointing out the better way
of independence in voters, reform of
abuses and the impartial administration
of laws.
I have no disposition to make Mr. Hall
out worse than his class. He was a
creature of the system and he did as the
others did. I have Just been told by two
prominent business men of a day when
they saw Mr. Hall with his hand full of
bills, standing near the polls and openly
buying votes. He now says that, his con
science does not condemn him for any of
his public life; but that is a reflection on
his conscience. Many others did the
same; but I doubt if they would profess
that they have no regrets. For 16 years
Mr. Hall was a prosecuting attorney in
Portland. It was during that period that
the land-fraud deals were on.
Full Counted In Land Fencing.
How many of them would not have
been attempted with a strict and Impar
tial District Attorney in office It is diffi
cult to say; but this we know, that the
systematic robbery of the - Government
lands did not stop till he left the office,
and that when a man came who struck
terror to the hearts of the robbers, Mr.
llau joined with others and tried to have
Heney removed. This trial brought out
clearly how the little fellows with a cow
pasture of ISO to 250 acres of .public land
Inclosed were threatened till their fences
came down; but the group with 20,000
acres and a pull kept tip their fence for
j-ears. The secret of this Influence was
clearly brought out at the trial, and be
sides, in ail interview with Senator ul
ton, published in The Oregonian January
13, he admitted that he asked Mr. Hall
not to Indict Sjeiwer, as he was "an In
fluential citizen," and he was not during
Hall's administration.
Mr. Hall has much to say about the
Burke case a man I did not refer to'
in any way but evidently Mr. Hall's
leniency did not reform him, for in
1 the J. H. Mitchell trial It was admitted
that. Mr. Burke paid the Senator 1500
to have approved an irrigation scheme
in Eastern Oregon. But since Mr.
Hall's reference to Burke I have looked
up their testimony, and It appears that
A. B. Hammond, president of the As
toria & Columbia River Railroad, had
"W. E. Burke and "W. Q. Gosslin load a
car with 20 North End bums, take them
to Oregon City, and have them make
affidavit that they had personally ex
amined said land and from personal
knowledge could describe It, that they
did ntappy for the land on specu
lation, "but in good faith to appropri
ate it to my own exclusive use and
benefit; that I have not directly or in
directly made any agreement or con
tract or in any way or manner, with
any person or persona whomsoever, by
which the title I may acquire from the
Government of the United States may
Inure fa whole or In part to the benefit
of any person except myself." Every
affidavit contained this note: "Every
person swearing falsely to the fore
going affidavit is guilty of perjury and
will be punished as provided by law,
etc."
False Swearing: Is Common.
Not one of the statements was true,
. not one of the applications was in good
faith. Burke and Goselln had led these
men into, wholesale perjury, and now
Mr. Hall asks me to state, as a Chris
tian minister, that I Indorse his dis
missing the cases without even an at
tempt to punish their subornation of
perjuring of 20 men. But I think It
would have .been better to have made
an example there and so stopped this
false swearing, which became so com
mon in Oregon. '
With reference to the other matters:
After a three-weeks' trial, 12 good men
have unanimously found him guilty of
conspiracy to prevent the free passage
of the public over Government land. I
did not on Sunday, nor do I now, wish
to comment on that decision, except to
say that, having heard Mr. Hall's own
testimony. I would have been compelled
to have decided the same way if there
had been nothing, else in the case.
Legacy of Hall's Administration.
Xext, It is certainly true hat all
these land-fraud cases which have been
0 carried to conviction through the pros
ecution 'of Heney and Bristol ara cases
where the crimes were committed dur
ing the Hall administration, and that
sort of thing was not stopped In Oregon
until he was superseded. It is also
true that both he and his friends made
a desperate effort to get rid of Heney,
and no man was engaged In hindering
that Government prosecution who did
not have something to cover up or else
had a secret sympathy for the law
breakers Jie was after.
Mr. Hall says he has been 16 years .a
Prosecuting Attorney hereabouts. I have
only to say that the history of Portland
and Oregon in those 16 years. Judging
. from facts now coming to light, does not
reflect great credit on Its Prosecuting At
torneys. "With reference to his leniency
toward young men who violate the law, I
will say that one vigorous prosecution
might have prevented 100 others from be
coming criminals. "What Solomon said
to soft and easy-going parents might ap
ply to Prosecuting Attorneys: "Spare
the rod and spoil the child." I think the
methods' of Prosecutor Heney would in
the long run save more men than the
methods of Prosecutor Hall.
There would have been no such scandals
as the Jim Lotan opium smuggling, etc.,
with a vigorous prosecution of offenders.
If the facts brought out that the little
fellows who had ISO acres fenced were
compelled by him to remove the fence,
but that big transgressors with 20,000 acres
of Government land fenced were allowed
to go unmolested represents Mr. Hall's
Ideas of good government, then it is no
wonder the people of Oregon are so rap
idly discarding the old-line of politicians
and are lacking for a new brand of man
hood to put in public office to Impartially
administer the laws of the lan'd. All
honest men are reformers when 'every
thing is wrong.
I wish to correct the statement that Mr.
Burke was ever ordained a Methodist
minister. In that Mr. Hall's letter Is in
error. Also the text xjf niy Sunday night
sermon was Romans 13th chapter, first
10 verses, a statement of the relation of
Christianity to good government, a study
of which I commend to those who do not
think ministers should discuss current
events of moral moment in their pulpits.
Lessons of the Trial.
It remains true that the lessons I men
tioned on Sunday night are the Important
ones for the young men of Oregon and
that the facts brought out in the Hall
trial appropriately suggest them. Not
only what the career of Mr. Hall proves,
but the many drawn into the case show,
that crooked methods do not succeed in
the long run, unless you agree with Mr.
Hall's letter that they all got into this
trouble with the Government for Just do
ing right: that to build a character and
keep it stainless is a bigger -triumph than
to gain a political advantage; that old
fashioned flat-footed square-dealing is
the best policy even in political office;
that the type of man that God and man
honor is the 'one who when trusted with
power and office, conservatively keeps In
tact all that is right and radically insists
that wrongs shall at once be made right.
It is this character that Christianity
seeks to develop, and for which the
church ought always to stand and which
I advocated on Sunday night. If Mr. Hall
was governed by these' principles, while
In office, he did not make it appear when
on trial, even in his own testimony.

COtWCIL REFUSES TO PASS A
SPECIAL SALARY ORDINANCE,
Squabble Over Appointment of Emll
T. Mlsche as Parkkeeper
Not Yet Ended.
Certain members of the City Council
are opposed to the employment of Emll
T. Mlsche, of Madison, Wis., as park
keeper for the city at a salary of J2600
a year, and the proposed ordinance cre
ating a fund out of which to pay him
was not put on its final passage yester
day, as Mayor Lane, the members of the
Park Board and others had desired It
should. There must be suspension of the
rules lil order' to put an ordinance through
on its first reading, and in order to sus
pend the rule, there must be unanimous
consent of the members. When it was
sought to accomplish this yesterday after,
noon. Councilman Dunning objected, caus
ing the measure to be laid over. It must
now go through the regular channels and
cannot become a law, if at all, until the
next session of the Council.
It seems that there is a division of sen
timent regarding the advisability of em
ploying a non-resident of Portland for the
position. 'While this is evidently the
primary reason for objection to the new
man, it is known to a certainty that some
of the Councilmen are indignant over the
manner in which the Mayor andi the mem
bers of the Park Board went about em
ploying Mr. Mlsche. . It was done secretly,
behind clssed doors, and when the Coun
cil did not pass an appropriation of 33000,
which the Board supposed had been asked
for I. Lang, a member of the Board,
addressed a communication to each Coun
cilman, upbraiding them for alleged in
attention to a public duty, and charging
that by' the Council's failure to appr6
priate the necessary sum, the Park Board
was greatly humiliated. While Mr. Lang
has since apologized, after being assured
that no one ever asked the Council for
the $3000, the sting still -is felt by some
of the Councilmen, and they apparently
Intend to Ignore the Board. ,
' Another matter not yet settled to the
satisfaction of the Council is as to the
disposition to be made of the present in
cumbent, Parkkeeper Montelth. He was
granted an Increase of salary to the ex
tent of $15 a month by the Council, but it
seems to be the disposition of the Park
Board not to pay the increase. They re
fused to do so last month, and no one
seems to know what will be done with
Montelth. Councilmen Concannon, Kella
her and others favor the retention of
Montelth In the parks, at the increase
they granted him, even If Mr. Mlsche
supersedes him In authority.
Some of the Councilmen yesterday de
clared that a salary of $2600 a. year for
the new man is too much. Mr. Mlsche
Is due here March 1.
ENFORCES SQUARE DEAL
Council Passes Ordinance Creating
Inspector Weights and Measures.
Councilman Kellaher's ordinance, creat
ing the office of Inspector of Weights
and Measures and providing for the sta
tioning of deputies at every wood and
coal yard in Portland, passed the Council
yesterday afternoon and will become a
law, as soon as Mayor Lane affixes ihls
signature, or after the expiration of the
legal time limit, if he does not. That he
will not veto the bill is thought to be
certain, as it is said to be a measure
purely for the benefit of the public.
The ordinance was recommended for
passage by the ways and means com
mittee, and passed without any com
ment, with but a few minor amend
ments. It is .declared by those who have
carefully Investigated, to be one of the
best ordinances ever framed for the pro
tection of the householder. The new of
fices created by the measure will be filled
by the Civil Service Commission. The
Chief Inspector will draw a salary of
$125 a month, and the deputy who is ac
tively to assist him, will be paid $100 a
month. The law provides for deputies to
serve without pay in all wood and coal
yards and such other establishments as
may require the services of an inspector.
Councilman JCellaher, the author of
the -law, declares there is a crying need
for the measure, as he says the public
Is being cheated outrageously through
ehort weights and measure in all lines
of business, especially wood and coal.

SYSTEM IS LACKING
Educational Problem Is Taken
Up by the Y. M. C. A. ,
REFORM PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Leaders in Great Religious Organi
zation Believe Industrial Train
ing Is the Crying Need Hold
a Conference at Seattle.
A meeting of the secretaries of all Pa
cific Coast Young Men's Christian Asso
ciations was held in the rooms of the
Seattle association last Monday and
Tuesday, when a committee of seven care
fully went over the question of indus
trial education, which is being advocated
by leading educators throughout the
country. Among those present at the Se
attle conference were Fred B. Pratt, of
Pratt Institute, New York; H. W. Stone,
general secretary of the Portland Y. M.
C. A., and M. A. Kees, educational di
rector of the Portland association.
Speaking of the meeting yesterday Mr.
Stone said:
"The statement was made over and over
again at the Chicago convention of Amer
ican educators, January 23 to 25, that the
Y. M. C. A. Is the best vocational school
in the United States, although It cannot
in any sense take the place of the pub
lic school system of the country.. It is
now training young men in more than
160 vocations. But there is an educational
problem which must be taken up by .sec
ular schools of the country before the
public schools will take it up. We have
hundreds of young men who apply to the
employment department for work, but
who cannot do anything well. They
haven't been educated. We can, perhaps,
get one of them a job at $40 a month,
but after he has worked a short time he
strikes the. 'boss' for a raise, and as he
Is not earning any more than $40 a month,
he doesn't get it. As a result he quits,
and seeks work elsewhere.
"It is a fact that we now have in this
country a large number of foreigners
who are earning larger wages at their
trades than are our own native-born
young men. In fact between 75 and 90
per cent . of the industrial .work of the
country Is now done by foreigners. We
can't go on this way forever.
"The trouble Is that the public school
system Is bad In some respects. It Is
all right for boys who are especially
adapted to some profession, but for the
rank and file of young Americans it does
not provide. It is geared up with the
idea that every youngster is to become
President or to enter one of the profes
sions. What is needed is an opportunity
for the boy, when he reaches the age of
say 12 years, to receive his education
with particular reference to the indus
trial line which he is to enter, rather
than with reference to entering a pro
fession. '
"The steady increase in crime and
juvenile delinquency in America Is di
rectly traceable to our educational sys
tem. In Germany during the last ten
years there has been a steady decrease in
crime and Juvenile delinquency. Con
ditions in America ought not to be dif
ferent, and the Y. M. C. A. is, attempting
to help solve some of these problems,
which mean so much to us as a nation.
"It was said at the Chicago conference
that it would be necessary for some sec
ular institution to take this, matter up
before the public schools could be in
duced to do so. We turn back Into the
public schools large numbers .of the boys
who come to us, as we believe that is the
best place for them to "get their funda
mental education, but there is a technical
training which the public school does not
give. We have enough lawyers, doctors
and preachers in the country now, what
we need is men who can do material
things."
BRIDGE PUDS ORDERED
COUNCIL AUTHORIZES CITY EN
GINEER TO ACT.
Official Voted Assistant and $1000
Is Appropriated to Pay Prelim
inary Expenses of Work.
An appropriation of $1000 was voted
by the City Council yesterday after
noon, and the employment of a com
petent consulting engineer authorized,
to assist City'Engineer Taylor in draw
ing plans and specifications for the
proposed new bridge across the Wil
lamette River at some nolnt north of
th Steel bridge. Pet. -Ions are how
b; z circulated for the proposed struc
ture, which It Is estimated will cost
about $3,000,000.
Councilman . Menefee introduced a
resolution directing City Engineer Tay
lor to ascertain the estimated cost, and
to draw up plans and specifications for
the proposed structure.
As it is greatly desired by the citi
zens of the northeast portion of the
city, and those. directly interested, that
the matter should be hastened In every
manner, the Council put the resolution
and the ordinance on final passage yes
terday afternoon, and both were made
effective thereby, it being practically,
certain that Mayor Lane will hot veto
the ordinance. The selection of a con
sulting engineer will be left to Mr
Taylor.
The proposed high bridge is absolute
ly necessary, It is uied by those who
are favorable to the project. At a
recent conference of the East Side im
provement clubs, the movement was set
on foot, and it has 'been made a' special
subject of attention on the East Side.
When Councilman Menefee intro
duced the ordinance yesterday, Council
man Cellars asked why it would not
be a good plan to also authorize the
City -Engineer to ascertain the cost of
construction of a tunnel under the river
at a point about Stark street. There
seemed to be aio enthusiasm, however,
on this point, and the matter was al
lowed to drop.

Alnsworth, H. M. Cake, Matt Foeller
and J. C- Bayer can have their recom

The committee met yesterday at the
rooms of the Chamber and discussed
street cleaning in its different phases
and agreed to advocate a plan of dis
trict cleaning and to ask the co
operation of the various civic and Im
provement organizations. Chairman
Gruber, in referring to the matter last
night, said that the old plan of doing
a spot of cleaning here and there in
the city had brought absolutely no sat
isfactory results, and the sentiment
of his committee was that the city
should be laid out In districts and re
sponsible persons put in control of
each district and be required to keep
their districts clean.
The committee will meet again in a
few days at the call of the chairman,
at which time resolutions will be pre
pared to present to the board of trus
tees, together with recommendations
that ' the different commercial and
civic Improvement organizations be
requested to act in harmony toward
bringing about reform In the way of
repairing and. cleaning' the streets of
the city.
It was brought out at the meeting
that the streets should be put in first
class condition before the coming
Rose Festival, when thousands of vis
itors will be in Portland, and that it
is most " desirable the city make the
veiy best possible showing on that
occasion.
The committee will consider at the
adjourned meeting some plan where

method shall be recommended to the
Council of the city to accomplish the
change has not been fully figured out,
but that some early action by th;e au

Parents who are related by the ties of blood, or who have a consumptive

a scrofulons tendency may succeed in holding it in check during young,

become manifest and sometimes run into Consumption. . S. S. S. goes down

STRIKE IN SHINGLE MILL
Forty Union Men Walk Out of Uni
versity Company Plant.
As the result of a disagreement as
to wages, 40 union workmen employed
by the University Lumber & Shingle
Company yesterday left their positions
and are organizing for a fight against
their former employer. The men repre
sent that A. J. Kroenert, manager of
the mill, undertook to restore the 1906
wage schedule, amounting to a reduc
tion of about 1 cent per 1000, to both
the .sawyers and the packers. Mr.
Kroenert, on the other hand, reports
that the laborers entered into an agree
ment by which they were to work at
the old scale, and after working two
days, walked out. In view of these
facts, the mill management contends
that the men have worked themselves
out of a job, since their places have
been filled with nonunion men.
"The former employes of the com
pany have only themselves to thank,"
said Mr. Kroenert yesterday. "The'
mill had been closed down for . some
time, and the men came to us and
agreed to work on a basis of the wage
schedule of 1906 if we would start up.
We agreed to the terms, and started
the plant. Two days later the men
said they were dissatisfied and walked
out. We have secured other help, and
expect no trouble in operating the plant
to Its capacity.
"Under the 1906 wage schedule,
packers were- earning on an average
$3.50 a day, while the wages of saw
yers ranged from $4 to $4.50. Last
year we paid wages averaging about
25 cents a day more for both sawyers
and packers."

"The Man Who
Hesitates Is Lost"
There Is a common practice among spe
cialists and other physicians to ascribe cases
of Lost Vltafity to lack of nerve force, and
to treat them as such with Tonics, Electricity
and Stimulants, resulting In but temporary
benefit or none at all. Beware of such
treatments. They not only WILL NOT CURE
you, but CERTAIN harmful reaction is sure
to follow their use. They never fail to leave
you in a far worse condition than they
found you.
Every day there come to me men who have
been nearly ruined by such treatments. Had
these same men come to me in the first
r,
lace I could have cured them in
o one-half the time required after
been poisoned with powerful drugs, or vic
timized and rendered nearly incurable by
"Cheap" treatments, Tonic Dopes, Electric
Belts, or some other worthless makeshifts.
Never was the old saying. 'He Who Hesi
tates Is Lost," more aptly illustrated than in
the case of the man who suffers from
WEAKNESS. VARICOCELE, a CONTRACT
ED DISORDER or CONTAGIOUS BLOOD
DISEASE, and who neglects to have his ail
ment treated.
My Fee
Is Only
Choose the Right Specialist
The most important thing ror you to do, if you are an ailing man, is
to seek the services of THE RIGHT DOCTOR. Don't go to the first one
you see, simply because he happens to be a physician. Choose the phy
sician who makes a specialty of curing the kind of ailments from which
fOU suffer. The ordinary medical man really knows but little about
curing diseases peculiar to men. He merely has a general knowledge of
such diseases, because his practice is spread out over the whole range
of diseases to which flesh is heir. He therefore knows a little about all
diseases and not a great deal about any. If you should go to him he
'may conscientiously, try to cure you, but not knowing HOW, he would
have to experiment upon you. In brief, he is a medical "Jack of all
trades and master of none." Knowing these facts, would you want to
trust your life in' his hands? If your watch were to break or get out
of order, you wouldn't take It to a machinist to have it repaired. No;
you would know better. You would take it to the very best WATCH
MAKER you could find. Then why should you not use the same kind
of good, sound Judgment when you need a doctor? Your health is
certainly as important as your timepiece.
Make Haste to Seek Expert Treatment
Make haste to seek the services of the most skillful .Specialist in
Men's Diseases possible to vou the doctor who has a reputation for
performing CURES. Don't put the matter off. Delay is dangerous.
Every moment you are hesitating the disease is gaining greater head
way and will be that much harder to cure. If you delay too long your
condition will certainly pass beyond the power of human skill. Re
member that your ailment will not cure Itself.
Why My Methods Cure
Bear In mind that for twenty-five years I have made a- specialty of
the half dozen ailments peculiar to men. I do not dose the stomach
with Dowerful drugs, as do other specialists. I have no electric belts
or other trick-a-trap devices to sell you for a fat price or any other
price: neither have I any nostrums or tonics to work off on you for so
much per; but I have developed a Direct-Method Treatment that will
CURE ANY CASE of WEAKNESS in men. Instead of destroying the
digestive and assimilative processes of the stomach and bowels by
filling them up with drugs, I apply curative medicines DIRECTLY to
the DISEASED REGION, and thus effect a CURE in a comparatively
short time.
In any diseased condition Nature needs help. The right kind of medi
cine administered TO THE CENTER OF DISEASE will assist Nature in
overcoming Inflammation and congestion, strengthen and REVITALIZE
diseased tissues and soothe and heal, where barrels of drugs taken In
ternally would merely impair the digestion, deplete the blood, weaken
the vital functions and produce general havoc throughout the system.
. I WILL GUARANTEE A CURE AND YOU
NEED NOT PAY UNTIL YOU ARE WELL
MY MODERN and up-to-date methods will effect a certain 'and
speedy cure of CONTRACTED DISORDERS, LOST STRENGTH, and all
reflex ailments.
HYDROCELE and STRICTURE positively cored WITHOUT the
KNIFE.
- Specific Blood Poison
I cure this leprous disease complete. The system Is thoroughly
cleansed and every poisonous taint removed. The last symptom van-
ishes to appear no more, and all is accomplished by the use of harmless
blood-cleansing remedies. Do not submit to the dangerous mineral
dosing commonly indulged in. Such treatment merely obscures the
symptoms. -
Varicocele, Cured Without Cutting
The time was when every man with varicocele hftd no choice other
than allow the disease to go, undermining his power and health, or sub
mit to a surgical operation. Now he can choose a thorough cure by
painless treatment. I cure .varicocele in one week, and it is seldom
necessary that the patient be detained from his business even a single
day. My method is original with myself, and Is the only safe and suc
cessful treatment for varicocele ever devised.
EXAMINATION AND ADVICE FREE.
I offer not only FREE CONSULTATION and ADVICE, but of every
case that comes to me I will make a Careful Examination and Diagnosis
without charge.
