lO
HE MUST EXPLAIN
'1 ITCHING PALM"
Beharrell, Furniture Man, Is to
Be Haled Before the
City Fathers.
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been superseded in importance by mem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.

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.

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

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.

SCENT VICTORY IN FUSION
COUP PLAXXED to elect peo
' PLE'S CHOICE.
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

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

There are more cases of kidney trou

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

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

We Are Willing to Stake
the Reputation of the
Store on the Excellence of
Our Teas and Coffees
Our "Special Blend" Coffee has
been known to Dresser custom
ers for years, and coffee-drinkers
do not stick to a brand which
is not the same always, or that
fails to come up to their opinion
of what good coffee is. Flavor,
strength and evenness are what
they want, and this is what you
are certain of in Dresser's
"Special Blend." The output
is increasing steadily, which is a
very worthy testimonial; price
35c, 3 lbs $1.00
Dresser's best "Costa Rica"
Coffee also has a large follow
ing. For the price we do not
believe the quality is equalled
in Portland; pound 2o
Dresser's "Royal Biend" Cof
fee has a flavor which is mark
edly different from most brands
sold at 30c a pound. It pro
duces the richest brown fluid
and is unvarying; pound. .30c
"Caplain Blend" Coffee is a 40c
coffee. If you are using a 40c
coffee, bulk or package, just
take home a sample of "Cap
lain," and compare.
"Extra Special Blend" Coffee
is super-excellence itself. We
