U'REN IS ON GRILL
J. D. Stevens Goes Into Oregon
City Reformer's Past.
USES HARSH EPITHETS
Senator Bourne, Statement No. 1
and the Direct Primary Law
Conic In for a Share of
Orator's Condemnation.
Statement No. 1. the direct primary law.
Vnlted States Senator Bmirnc and "Wil
liam S. U'Hcn came in. share anci share
alike, for a severe grilling last nisht.
when J. I. Stevens spoke at Selling
Hirsch Hall. owing to stormy weather
the audience was not larse, nut it was
verv evident that most of liis hearers
were In Hi-oorrt witli Mr. Stevens. When
A. M. Hlmes arose at the close of the ad
dress and made a motion to uphold
1: Ren and his policies, the words wera
hardly out of his mouth when a loud
chorus of "noes" went up.
Stevens denounced l-'Ron as a
scoundrel" and t "btavksuard." uom
paring him with Parrolles in Shakes
peare's "All's Well That Knds Well."
Referring to Mr. U'Ken's apolosy for
leaving; out the enacting claxise of the
Hntl-pass law. which invalidated -the law.
he said that I" Ken was rldins on a pass
all the time he was advocatins the law.
and that after he had made the mistake,
which Mr. Stevens Intimated was done
j.u'posely. he turned about, apparently,
and advocated the sivlnK of passes hy
urging enactment of a law to that effect
In th last Legislature.
Stevens intimated that when he was
supporting T'Ken. a few years asro. he
was belns duped. Fiut he said when he
fund IV Ken out. he ceased to follow his
lead.
Mr. Stevens referred to Lincoln Steffen's
article in a recent is-sue of the American
Magazine.
Steffens would have us believe." said
Mr. Stevens, "that I" Ren is a sort of
hero with a halo of plory about his head.
Brownell is also referred to. but Rrownell
Is a white ansel by comparison."
To Bourne and U'Ren Stevens charged
tlie death of a man named Kruse, who
waa at Salem during the notorious hold
up session of the LoRislature.
"if it hadn't been for the 'house of
Tnirth.' " said Stevens. "Kruse would be
alive today. His death was a tragic
thing. They had him there and kept
him full for several days, and at last one
of the members of the legislature came
to I" Ren and said. "I think Kruse Is
pretty bad off. We had better send for
th "doctor." But l"Ren only replied.
'.Don't worry about him. I am a doctor
myself. I'll look out for Kruse.' The re
sult was the man died and was taken
home and buried by his friends."
Mr. Stevens referred to Senator Bourne
as not being a representative of any po
litical party, or of anybody in Oregon,
except a very few.
"Under the direct primary law." con
tinued Mr. Stevens, "the majority has
not ruled. The Statement No. 1 man
wants to know what we shall do. I say,
do as we have done until we have
changed the Government to Socialist
standards.
"The people favoring Statement No. 1
and the direct primary law are laying
the charge that the referendum is dead.
The truth of the matter is that direct
legislation, the initiative and referendum
will continue on until it becomes the
great fundamental law of the United
States. You need have no fear of any
thing happening to the initiative and
referendum. '
"A great many people will try a great
many schemes and make a great many
laws, but the Initiative and referendum
is here to stay. It is, in the last analy
sis, the only principal by which a pure
democracy can be established, and once
established, it will be forever maintained.
"There is a way to tire the people of
making so many laws. That is by giv
ing them their till. "We are fast coming
to the point with our referendum where,
there are so many people proposing so
many laws that the voters will reject the
most of them. Still, the initiative and
referendum has the advantage that while
the. voters will refuse to sign many of
the petitions, they will study each and
every petition submitted to them.
"I might cite the language of Mrs.
Judge Waldo, who advises the Orange to
go through all the proposed laws. If
they have any doubt about any one of
them they are to sit as a jury. I am
satisfied that the referendum will come to
be regarded in time as the sole basis of
political action throughout the United
States.
"We come now to the direct primary
law. As a rule, the sons and daughters
of great men are very ordinary persons.
So it is with the direct primary law.
While we are satisfied that the initiative
and referendum is all right, the direct
primary law is one of those poor chil
dren. In fact, I can hardly call it legit
imate. It Is rather a mongrel."
Here Mr. Stevens told of the provisions
of the primary law. and continued:
"The Democratic party is taking a
great interest this year in the Republican
party's nominations. My religious friend.
Oingett Thomas. charges that he
never saw in all his political life such a
complication. He almost charges per
jury on the part of his brethren: that
they are doing all in their power to mix
in Republican politics.
"When Bourne ran for Senator, he
could not gel the nomination to save his
life through the Republican machine,
which knew him. But when the votes
were counted. H. M. Cake, who was run
ning against him. found himself 6o votes
short. The defendants of this direct
primary law would have us believe that
Bourne got the majority of the votes
at the election.
"Returning to the direct primary law,
it would. I believe, if taken to the Su
preme Court, be declared invalid, for it is
unconstitutional. It does discriminate,
and is unjust to the people ' who are
obliged to live under it.''
WORKS FOR LEPERS
Father Conrardy Tells of the
Plague in Hawaii.
PLANS MISSION IN CHINA
Vnfortunates on Island of Molokai
Are Cheered by Hopes of
Cure 'ow Promised
for Leprosy.
Father L. I Conrardy spoke at the
Cathedral yesterday. He told of his work
among the HawaUpn lepers, and spoae
of the efforts he expects to put forth in
behalf of the unfortunates in China. He
is to speak at St. Mary's Catholic Church
next Sunday on "Civilization." rr. Con
rardy said in part yesterday:
"In the Sandwich Islands the Hawaiian
government estaoIlsliAi. in 1S56, a leper
settlement on the islam of Molokai and.
both before and since the annexation of
the islands by the United States, the
lepers have been provided for. Between
tSOOO and J9000 has been expended In their
behalf up to the present time. In those
days the lepers were Ift to care for
themselves.
"At the present time there reside in the
settlement two Catholic priests, one at
Kalaupapa and one at Kalawao, about
three miles distant front each other.
There are six churches, two Catholic, two
Calvinist. and two Mormon. The lepers
and their friends are now stirred by the
hope of a cure, the discovery of which is
announced with confidence by a Swiss, a
machinist named Wallach. The Hawaiians
have requested the board of health to
give his treatment a thorough trial."

JUDGEW DEAD
Former Justice ofshate Su
preme Court Passes Away.
WAS NATIVE OF OfOON
Widely-Known Lawyer and Demo
cratic Leader Fails to Rally
From the Shock of Recent
Surgical Operation.
Judge Thomas G. Hailey, former Jus
tice of the State Supreme Court, and one
of the leading Democratic lawyers of
the state, died shortly before 12 o'clock
last nlpht at his home, 835 Marshall
street, at the age of 43 years, having
failed to rally from the shock of a sur
gical operation performed at a local hos
pital recently.. Judge Hailey was a na
tive of Oregon and was widely known in
both this state and in Idaho, where he
spent his boyhood.
Thomas Griffin Hailed was the son
of John Hailey, wh was formerly
delegate In Congress from Idaho, and
I.ucmda Griffin Hailey, and was born
at La Grande. Or., July 13, lSSn. His
parents removed to Idaho during his
early childhood and he was reared
and educated at Boise. He received
his legal training in the office of Cox
& Minor at Pendleton, Or., and in the
Law Department of Washington and
Lee University at Lexington, Va. In
1S89 he opened an office for himself in
Pendleton and continued in the prac
tice of his profession in that city until
the Winter of 190.", when he removed
to Salem to fill by gubernatorial ap
pointment the place on the Supreme
bench of the state, made vacant by the
transfer of Judge Wolverton to the
Federal Court. ,
He was for a yeac a member of the
law firm of Fee, Carter, Hailey &
Austin, with offices at Pendleton and
Union, Or., and later became a partner
of the late John J. Balleray, of Pendle
ton. From 1892 and until 1895, and
again from 1902 until he left Pendle
ton, he was a partner of Stephen A.
Lowell. By all the men thus associat
ed with him he was regarded as a
lawyer of marked ability, both as an
adviser and advocate, and his work as
member of the Supreme Court during
the year that he was a member of it
indicated that he was a jurist of high
character.
In politics Judge Hailey was a Dem
ocrat, and as such was District Attor
ney for the Sixth Judicial District from
1900 to 1904, and during a part of that
time was Mayor of the city of Pendle
ton, declining re-election to both of
fices. In both these positions he wa.s
an official who recognized the binding
force of his oath of office and he ad
ministered all laws fully and impar
tially. His term as supreme judge expired
early in 1907 and he ran for election
on the Democratic ticket but was de
feated. He then became a member of
the firm of Chamberlain, Thomas &
Hailey, and located in Portland, where
he was rapidly making friends and
building up a large practice when his
health failed.
He was a man of broad vision and
public spirit, always interested in the
development of the state, and his in
fluence was invariably thrown on the
side of political decency and civic
righteousness. He was a llfe-lonj
communicant of the Episcopal Church
and a valued member of its councils.
Judge Hailey was married in 1892 to
Maud L. Beach, of Ackley. Iowa, who,
with their two children, Geneveive 2nd
Elizabeth, sifvive him. His domestic
life was most happy. With a gifted
and devoted wife and two young
daughters his home was ideal in its
charm.
Judge Hailey's father, John Hailey,
Jr., a brother, both of Boise. Idaho,
were at Judge Hailey's bedside with i
