RESENT HIS INSINUATIONS W ill Be Called I'pon to Tell Council What He Meant by Charging That It Took Money to "Calm Troubled Waters." Whether or not a furniture "trust" exist In Portland lias, for the time, been superseded in importance by mem bers of the Investigating committee of the l.'ity Council by the query as to jut what William II. Beharrell meant by referring to "an itching -palm" in a recent letter in The Oregonian. Coun cilman Vaughn, chairman of the spe cial committee, declared yesterday that Mr. Beharrell will have to explain the matter next Thursday morning, when the. inquisitorial body will hold another session. Other furniture dealers have been subpenaed and will testify at that time. Mr. Beharrell is manager for Hey wood Bros. & Wakefield, wholesale furniture dealers, and in a lengthy let ter, published in The Sunday Oregonian, endeavored to show that there is no illegal 'trust" of members of the trade. This was in reply to certain testimony given before the Council investigating committee Councllmen Vaughn, Hold ing and Concannon which tended to strengthen the belief that some kind of a combine is in existence to maintain prices. Among other tilings, Mr. Be harrell said: What His Charges Are.'. It is perhap, a lilt! unfortunate that. In order to conduct the furniture business iu-rRfuUy. Jt 1, necessary for the deal er to devote his bst eneretos to the de tail of his business and. hence, has no time to vie with the grocer, the plumber and the transfer magnate for a seat In this honorable body, and In this way secure protection when his business is assailed, bv turning- the attention of the public t- some other Industry not so fortunate as to be thus represented. It has been hinted that the old and oft-tried remedy for an itchlnr. palm mlrht secure a cessation of hostilities and calm the troubled waters; but It' so happens that the Individuals rep resenting the furniture interests in Oregon while takinr a dep interest In the public weal snd are large contributors to its sup port and UL-hullding. are not of that class who arrt always seeking to further their own ends by being in close contact with the administration. "I have no statement to make at this time as to what I meant by refer ence to 'an itching palm,' " said Mr. Beharrell, when asked yesterday after noon to explain his meaning. "Jf I am called to testify, however, I will do. so." "What Mr. Beharrell meant by refer ence to 'an Itching palm' and by his other insinuations. Is not clear at all to me or to members of the special investigating committee," Bald Chair man Vaughn. "What he meant is a fit and most proper subject of inquiry, and he will be called upon for an explana tion at our meeting next Thursday morning. 1 take It that no member of the furniture trade, who may be called ' upon to testify before the committee, will refuse so to do. However, if Mr. Beharrell refuses to answer questions that are proper for him to answer. I will flle a complaint against him in the Municipal Court, as provided by ordi nance, and we will fight that matter out there. Insinuations Arc Serious. "Mr. Beharrell s Insinuations are so" serious that It seems to me they must be Investigated." continued Chairman Vaughn. "I do not know at this time whether he intended to impugn the mo tives of the committee; whether he In tended to impugn the entire Council, or. Indeed, whether he Intended to Im pugn the Council and the City Attor ney. "The latter official Is the chief factor In this Investigation: the committee has no power, save to Investigate; to secure evidence for submission to the City Attorney. We are appointed simply to assist the City Attorney. Now, If there is no 'trust.' as Mr. Beharrell tried to show in his letter, and If his skirts are clear In this tiling, why is it that he Is so agitated? It looks peculiar to me; It also looks strange that he is so ready and willing to apparently Impugn the motives of others, if he Intended his letter to be Interpreted as Impugning the Council or City Attorney or both." SANDY ROAD TO BE GRADED Plans Reported to Rose City Park Improvement League. At the regular meeting of the Rose Cltv Park Improvement league last night Plans were perfected to bring about the Immediate grading and improvement of Sandy Road, so that the streetcar com pany will be enabled to fulfill its prom ise to double-track that highway its en lire length, from Burnside bridge to a point opposite the Portland Country Club's site at Rose City Park. The mat ter of grading and improving from Thir tieth street in to the bridge has already been definitely arranged, and with the concerted action planned, it is now hoped to have Sandy Road graded and equipped with a double track for the handling of the big crowds that will be attracted to the Country Club's grounds by the Spring events to be held there. It was also de cided to take the necessary steps to change the venerable name of Sandy Road to Rose City Park avenue. A driveway for automobiles and car nages, improved throughout its length and devoid of interfering streetcar tracks, was routed out from the Country Club's grounds to the new Steel bridge, and a vigorously busy committee reported that the work of getting this driveway Into shape for the demands of travel at the opening of the club's grounds was al ready well under way. The engagement of the club's entire grounds for the week of the Rose Carni val in June, for the purpose of a special floral exhibition and chariot races, also the application of the Hunt Club and the Driving Association for the grounds the first week In July were also reported.

A. assembly-room, a reso lution w&s unanimously passed supporting the bill carrying an appropriation for the State University, to be voted on next June.

Beach, who referred to the address of Dr. Luther R. Dyott. Sunday night, relative to the neces sity of extending the University's activi ties. Mr. Beach said he had already presented the matter to the Catholics and they readily agreed to assist in the movement. The Catholic Sentinal also pledged "its support. Dr. Dyott and several others who visited the University during the recent Christian Kndeavor convention, spoke of the high standard and serious work of the insti tution and of President Campbell's earnestness. George A. Miller, Pacific Coast repre sentative for the American Bible Society briefly explained the aim of that organiza tion. He asked the co-operation of the association in the effort to reorganize the society for active work among the foreigners and the pioneer communities He has asked the New York society for $10,000 to begin the work on the Coast and has already planned to. distribute tracts among the 5000 or 6000 Italians in Portland.

Bonds were fixed at J1500 each and the quartette will endeavor to furnish unuea states District Attorney Bristol aDDeared far th riv-.rnmDni defendants being represented by Horace rwuig ana i. ts. McDevitt. The men are charred with nrewn from a Chicago curio dealer about $1400 in spumous bank-notes, which were re ceived through the mails at Portland by Wells under the Alias of Frank Connors. These bogus notes were ln k , defunct Merchants & Planters Bank and w intra nave been circulated in How the Fraud Was Worked'. It was the Dractice of tb thB bogus currency on the proprietors of ..i..8-,u)uf!s. m payment for a room they would generallv tender m receiving In exchange about 9 In good wiuncy. Among the witnesses for the Government were upvorai nr ,.i tims, who positively identified Saylor and '"'"' as me men who passed the bills. The rase nt tha rs..

Mr. Bristol insisted that the rontftntimi rP i vi. uticuuatii o uoun Sel was debatable, and with that tne de- iiioo i;aueu w ens to tne stand. Wells Shoulders All Blame. Wells proceeded to tell a plausible story, in which he assnmeri oil e h. blame, in an effort to exonerate his two associates from all complicity in the questionable work. He declared that he had personally ordered the hnk.r.no. from Chicago and had afterward disposed of a part of them to Saylor, but had never had any relations with Caviness. juc on cross-examination Mr. Bristol got the witness badly enmeshed, while hin credibility as a witness was seriously shaken. Wells finally admitted that he had served a term of five years and six months in the Oregon Penltcnti.rv tr horse-stealing in Jackson County and that he served the sentence under the alias of Charles Morris. While Wells was a stub- Dorn witness, the prosecutor for the Gov ernment elicited enough from him practi cally to establish the contention of the prosecution that the three had hatched the scheme of defrauding the public by getting bogus bills and circulating them. Mr. Bristol insisted that it had been shown that while Wells carried on the correspondence by which the currency was ordered and received, both Savior and Caviniss knew of the arrangement ana, as parties to it, put the money into circulation and divided their profits with Wells, as the latter had admitted. During his examination of Well i.tr Bristol declared it was altogether ap parent that the scheme was for Wells to take all the blame in hopes of freeing his two confederates. To this charge Attorney King excepted vigorously and said that it was not at all likely that one man would admit that he was alone guilty in order to protect two others who were equally guilty, besides, he asserted mat tne three defendants since their ar rest had been kept in separate cells and had had no opportunity to discuss the case or to concoct any such story. As to "Whitewash Plunge." 'Tou probably have not heard of im munity baths." suggested Mr. Bristol. "O. replied Mr. King, "we leave thst for the District Attorney's office. We practicing lawyers do not have anything to ao witn such inings." Well, you may rest assured that noth ing of the kind will be tolerated in this case." retorted Mr. Bristol, "but if you think you are going to make Wells the lau-guy for Saylor and Caviness. vnn have run up against the wrong man. All three of these men are guilty or none of them is, and I propose to see that they have a square deal." George Wellsley, who will be the prin cipal witness for the prosecution when the case is investigated by the grand jury, is still in the Good Samaritan Hos pital, where he was taken about two weeks ago, when Wells, Saylor and Cavi ness were arrested. Wrellsley, at the time, was rooming with Wells. Dorsey was arrested late yesterday af ternoon and lodged in the County Jail in default of S1500 ball. SUES THE FCRX1TCRE TRUST Commission House Demands Three Times What It Would Have Made. Demurrers to the complaint and motions to strike out essential parts of the com plaint were argued and submitted bsfore Judge Wolverton in the United States Court in the damage suit of the Gllman Auction & Commission Company against F. S. Harmon et al. The defendants in the suit were members of the Northwest Furniture Exchange, which was indicted last Summer by United States Attorney Bristol for violating the anti-trust laws. Many of the members of the organization went into court, pleaded guilty and es caped with fines ranging from $10 to JKO0. The pending suit has resulted from that Indictment and has been brought by the Gilman Company to recover damages from the members of the former Illegal combine. The plaintiff company alleges that it sustained damages to the amount of -0.000 during the operation of the trust and suit was filed under the pro vision of the anti-trust law, which en titles the injured party to sue for an amount three times that in which he was damaged. Consequently, the Gilman Com pany is suing for 150.000 damages and an additional sum of $3000 for attorney's fees. Several of the prominent furniture firms of this city-are included among the defendants in this suit. Petitions in Bankruptcy. . Two voluntary petitions in bankruptcy were filed yesterday in the Federal Court. William 3. Loomis, a merchant, of On tario, in seeking to be released from his creditors, reports assets amounting to J276S.64 and liabilities of $4795.30. A. L. Smith, a retail liquor-dealer, of this city, gave his assets at $764.71 with liabilities of $343. Four Xew Citiasens. Having renounced all allegiance to the rulers of their native lane's.

Democrats and Statement No. 1 Re publicans Are Flirting to Xante Xext Senator. Fusion is suggested as probable be. tween the Democrats and Statement No. 1 Republicans, in an effort to ac complish the election of the people's choice for United States Senator, re gardless ot his political affiliation Such a hybrid combination, it Is re ported, is In process of incubation In Multnomah County, while the same ex perlment may be attempted in oth)r counties of the state. By euch a pro gramme, the disciples of the U'Ren doctrine hope to secure the election of enough members of the Legislature to frustrate the election of an anti-state ment candidate. If such an amalgamation of State ment No. 1 advocates can be effected it is declared the Democrats will not name a legislative ticket either at the primaries or the general election. In lieu of that action, It is reported, the "unterrlfled" will pledge their support to such Republicans aa will run on a Statement No. 1 platform, considering that such a course would be a wise political move. The Democrats are said to have confidence that Governor Chamberlain, whom they wish to see elected Senator, will defeat either Ful ton, Cake or tFRen in the June elec tion. In that event. Statement No. 1 Republicans elected to the Legislature would be oblig'ed to vote for Chamber lain for Senator in the Legislature. The plan of fusion is suggested from the fact that the leading Democrats, particularly in Multnomah County, are doubtful that a straight Democratic ticket could be elected, even should it be pledged to Statement No. 1. In view of the conditions, Chamberlain's friends believe they can best promote his candidacy for the Senatorship by making such alliances as will insure the election of the greatest possible number of Statement No. 1 candidates, either from their own number or among the Republicans. Thomas McCueker. who has been suggested as a possible Republican as pirant for' legislative -honors on a Statement No. 1 ticket, said last night that he would not be a candidate, for the reason that his business Interests would not permit him to give the time euch a candidacy would require. He disclaimed all knowledge of a reported alliance between the Democrats and Statement No. 1 Republicans, and was so optimistic that he predicted the success of an independent Statement No. 1 Republican ticket ln the pri maries, if such a ticket should be named. He insisted that fusion would not be necessary to insure the election, of uch a ticket in this county, but the scarcity of candidates on such a plat form Is not believed to bespeak much confidence in that theory. WILL INSPECT BILLBOARDS Council Committee Takes lTp Ques tion of Restricting Size. A brief session of the special Coun cil committee, named to fix the size of billb&ards, was held yesterday after noon, Councllmen Beldlng and Cottel attending:. Councilman Cellars was ab sent. Another meeting will be held within two weeks. George W. Kleiser, of Foster & Kleiser, was present to represent his company. Nothing definite has been done by the committee, as Mr. Cellars was ab sent, but !t was agreed that It would be well to Investigate conditions throughout the city by making a trip around to examine the billbards of the Foster & Kleiser Company. Mr. Kleiser invited the committee to do so, and vol unteered his services in piloting the members about at any time. "While the committee, under the ordinance creat ing it, has no power over license fees, it is thought likely that this power may be asked of the Council, and that the committee will then take up th:'s phas of the matter also.

Highly Recommended Home Pre scription Which Anyone Can Prepare. There are more cases of kidney trou ble here now than -ever before, while recent reports show that more people succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause. When there 1? sickness, examine the urine. Rheumatism is only a symp tom of kidney trouble. Jt Is nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the sluggish, inact ive kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles, causing Intense suffering; frequently resulting in deformity; often reaching the heart when death endues. Pains across the back, frequent, pain ful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, headache, pain in the heart, inactive liver, etc.. are but symptoms; the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kid neys. A simple test of the urine is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let It stand over night; next morn ing, if there is a reddish brick-dust sediment, or white, fleecy substance present either consult wome reputable physician or take a stood vegetable treatment. The following prescription is recommended highly in these cases, nnd the sufferer should mix It at home: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well and use in tea spoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. Where any of the symptoms enumer ated above are present, good results are sure to follow immediately the use of this nimpie prescription. ship title for being a man with a strong name.
