The supplementary proceedings be
fore Jufttioe Olson were held for the
purpose of discovering, if possible, the
funds and Income of the politician.
This (trew out of the failure of Reed
to pay for three tons of ooal used by
him between November 1. 190S. and
January, lf7. Mrs. Reed is joined as
a co-defendent, the bill being; family

them amended, have been filed and the
defendants had till Thursday to an
wer. Reed, accompanied; by bis, attorney, R.
O. Morrow, arrived at court in a bis
black touring car. accompanied by two
friends. Fred I Kverson represented the
4omplaining' ooaJ company. Keed took the
stand, making a grimaiv and sticking his
tongue out to molaten his lipa. After
taking oath. Reed stated that he had
. been in Portland thre years, the first
one of which lie had been connected with
the Board of Trade, and the test two of
which he hud been selling real estate on
commission. Asked if he had any other
business, he said he was connected with
the Oregon Republican Civic League.
Aeked if he possessed any property he
wud that he had no real estate, either
in Portland or elsewhere, hetd no mort
gages or securities of any description,
and hud only a few household effect.
"Have you nothing else on which you
could realize money?" asked Attorney
Bverson.
"I have a patent," answered Reed.
"What kind of a patent?"
Offers to Give His Patent.
"A ripper, a sort of a thimble attach
ment, to be worn on the Anger for ripping
seams. 1 had it patented five or six years
aeo, but never made any money out of it.
I'll give it to you If you want it.'
After consultation with his clients, At
torney Kverson decided that he did not
want the patent. Heed ntntvd that his
wife had no property, either, nor any
income, or anything beside the household
furniture mentioned.
"How do you support yourself?" asked
Bverson.
"By real estate," answered Reed. "I
have bslf a donen offices, one at 4SR Hut
hfghth street. North, another at Mr.
Morrow's office, and several others in
different places."
"Is this your only means of support?"
"Yes. sir. except possibly $o0 or $75 a
month that I get from the Oregon Re
publican Civic Ieague."
"When do they pay you?" asked Kver
son. "In advance, whenever they happen to
have it." answered Reed. "Whenever
somebody comes in and gives them some
money I get my commission. I have been
paid for March to April, and I suppose
there is about $C?0 coming to me now."
"Why do you get this money?'
"For the care of the books,"
Reed stated that he had no other means
of support, and that as he kept no hooka
he had no idea how much he made on
his real estate commissions tn the pant
year. Pinned down, he said that since
January 1 of this year he had made less
than $ino. Me said that he had no cash
in any safe deposit vault or box, either
In Portland or anywhere else, and no
funds of any nature, save possibly $4 or
$6 in small chsnije in his pockets.

"How much is your houerold property
worth?" asked Fverson.
"Oh, T don't know. Perhaps it would
bring $4O0 or JfcoO under the hammer.
"Are there any incumbrances on this?"
"Yes. sir. $Tn, about."
"What are these encumbrances?"
"They are notes or chattel mortgages
given for money that I owe. They do
not represent the full amount: they are
merely expressions of good faith, to show
thst 1 intend to pay the money when I
can."
Asked what these mortgages were in
detail. Reed said: "One Is for $1W to
W. H. Moore, of The Oregon Trust Com
pany. Then there are two, one to A.
A Bailey and one to T. C. Devlin, for
I think it is $1300 each."
Ajiked to account for this money Reed
wu unable ro remember where it went.
He thought most of it wasv spent for gen
eral expense since he had left the Board
of Trade two years aro. He had kept no
accounts whatever, and so did not know.
In answer to further questioning;. Reed
jald that Mr. IevUn had been advancing
him money for over two years, and that
he had given the mortgage Just as gen
eral security, for a part of what he had
received. He owed nothing to Mr. Hod
son and Meaars. Bailey, Moore and Dev
lin all knew about; the other mortgages,
Hia counsel owed him nothing, nor did
lou Wagner.
Red did not deny the debt and said
he had been untMe to pay It for the
past year. Regarding hi real estate
commission. Reed though they were lees
than t-0 a month, and hts house rent
amounted to $28.
Attorney JDverson then asked the wit
ness how he managed to lire so well, but
Mr. Morrow objected to the question,
explaining- to the court that if Reed was
able to live better than the rest of them
and yet swore he had no appreciable In
come, it was a matter on which he was
to be congratulated, and did not enter
into the proceedings. Reed said he had
run no bills anywhere for the past year
and was unable to estimate his house
hold expenses. He had no grocery bill,
paying cash for whatever he got.
"How about your meat Dili? asked
Everson.
I pay that every two weeks or so."
answered Reed. "Sometimes it amounts
to $2 and sometimes to $7 and sometimes
there isn't any bill, as I don't eat meat,
or dine downtown.'
Doesn't Recall Small Bill.
Reed said he tried to keep his house
hold expenses down to less than $&0 a
month, and usually succeeded. This in
cluded the $25 rent. He had only run
one or two sin ail bills since the coal bill
was contracted and could not remember
what they were, but knew they were
paid. At this point Attorney Morrow
addressed the oourt-
"Your honor." said he, "ever since 1885
I have tried to keep a carefully itemized
account of my own expenditures and
have been most methodical about It. Yet
last month, in balancing my books, 1
was surprised to find that, trained as I
am. I had forgotten and overlooked $30
that I took in. If I would do a thing
like that It is small wonder that Mr.
Reed, who keeps no account, should not
know how much he spends or gets. There
are many little items, of but a few cents
each, that mount up to a great amount,
more than you would think unless you
kpt careful account." Mr. Morrow
added that hts remark were not intro
duced as testimony, but merely to ex
plain the reason why Reed could not re
member financial details.
Attorney Evei son was tryln g to out
the Gordlan knot as to where Reed frot
his money, aside from the $40 to $75
thst he received from the Oregon Re
publican Civic League, when Reed sud
denly volunteered the information.
"To make it plain, and save question
in." said he. "I will tell you where I

Reed was excused from the stand,
and Mr. Devlin was called and sworn.
He said he had known Reed several
years, that he held hts note for $1200,
and that this was only a partial
amount of the money he had advanced
to Reed. He knew of no other sources
of income that the defendant had save
those he mentioned on the stand.
Mr. Bailey, the next witness, said
that he knew Reed well, and liked him,
and that he had advanced htm money
at different times Just out of friend
ship. "I've been down and out and up
against It myself," said Mr. Bailey,
"and so I'm willing to help a man
out."
Mr. Bailey said he held a mortgage
on Reed's household goods for about
$1200. and knew about the other mort
gages, last January he had given
Heed $300 additional, and since then
bad given him two loans, one of $25
and one of $-). He hoped and ex

supposed Reed also had other friends
who loaned him money, from time to
time, .lust out of friendship. He added
that he didn't mind coming to court

An increase of in the population
of Multnomah County during the last two
years Is revealed by the registration of
voters for the primary election. When
the registration books closed at 5 o'clock

L. Drinker, aged 41 years, of thi city.
Drinker signed as a native of the United
States, giving Michigan as the state of
his nativity.
The registration yesterday was a dis
appointment, particularly to County Clerk
Fields, who had provided an extra force
of assistants to handle the rush that was
expected at the last minute. Only 973
voters registered during the day. appor
tioned as follows: Republicans, W: Dem
ocrats, 148: and miscellaneous, 26. C. A.

For the- purpose of effecting a more
thorough registration of the voters,
County Clerk Fields advocates amend
ments to the registration law which will
authorise deputies from the County
Clerk's office to register voters at their
homes or place of business, particularly
factories. He would also have the County
Court -empowered to appoint registrars
in each of the country precincts, believ
ing that such a plan would work much
more satisfactorily than the law as it Is
now framed. Under the present law
farmers can register with a notary public,
but the plan does not bring out a full
registration, the experience being that It
is quite as inconvenient for the average
farmer to hunt up the notary as it would
be for him to visit the County Clerk's
office.
A bill providing for the two amendments
suggested by County Clerk Fields was
drafted by that official two years ago
and introduced in the House at the 1907
sesston by Joseph W. Beveridge. Repre
sentative from Multnomah County. The
measure passed both houses almost unan
imously, but was vetoed by Governor
Chamberlain. Since then the need for
some such changes in the law has become
the more apparent and it 1s possible that
the veto of the Governor may not be sus
tained by the Legislature next Winter,
when it is returned with the bill for the
further consideration of the two houses.
"The need for some such change in the
law is very great, especially 1n a county
the slie of Multnomah." said Mr. Fields
yesterday. "The expense to the county
would not be large and aside from the
convenience such a plan would prove to
the large number of men who work in the
mills and factories. It would insure a full

Judge Sliscovich is a guest at the Hotel
Lenox, and he Is on his way back to
Nome, after having spent the Winter In
New York.
Judge Sliscovich went to Alaska before
It became famous for its gold and tta Jack
London and Rex Beach stories. He dab
bled a little in mining, but gave the most
of hia attention to hauling freight and
running a roadhouse for the benefit of the
goldseekers. At one of his roadhouses.
about IS miles from Nome, he laid out a
plat of ground for a cemetery- He had to
do thts because soma of the foolish gold
hunters insisted on dying. For nine years
he conducted the frosen graveyard, never
dreaming that underneath this borne of
the silent population waa buried the
riches he had dreamed of and hoped some
day to discover.
One day he decided to cut out surface
mining and dig for quartz. He was
laughed at by the other miners. But he
kept on diggincr. discovered a rich quartz
mine, and is now laughing at the other
fellows.

SIGNS OF FIGHT TO DEATH
Body of Man and Footprints of
Woman on Beach.
SAN DIEOO, Cal.. .April 7. Disrobed
and with blood still trickling from a
small wound In the head above the right
eye, the body of, an unknown man waa
found on the beach at the foot of Twenty-ninth
street at noon. The man was
evidently murdered.
An examination of the beach showed
that the man had been accompanied by
a woman. In several places the print
of her shoe in the sand was distinct.
Evidences were also shown In the sand
of scuffles which had taken place be
tween the man and woman at several
places along the beach.
State Railroad Commissioner.
There is a growing sentiment among
tha substantial commercial Interests of
the City of Portland that at least one
member of the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners, in order to obtain the
best results, should be a man with prac
tical railroad experience. In the pending
campaign such a man is found In the
person of W. H. Hurlburt. who for the
past 35 years has been engaged in rail
road work, having occupied positions of
responsibility and trust in every depart
mentconstruction, operating and traffic.
It is generally conceded that the expert
knowledge thus gained must be of ines
timable value to the Board. Mr. Hurlburt
is not now in any way, either directly or
indirectly Interested in. or connected with,
any railroad company find is therefore
in a position to render the state the best
possible service by dealing fairly wtth all
interests involved within the Jurisdiction
of the Commission.

of my guesta," said Judge Sliscovich yes
terday, "because the tunnel I am digging,
while it runs across the cemetery, will
be many feet below the deepest rrave.
When I turned the ground over for a
graveyard I had no idea that my fortune
lay underneath. Why. I lived near the
place off and on for nine years, and all
the time hunted for gold somewhere else.
"Old Alaska miners laughed at me
when I began to sink the shaft, and they
thought me plumb crazy when I spent
130,000 driving a 400-foot tunnel. They
haven't laughed at me for two years, and
the Slisco mine is turning out the gold."
Drifting away from Alaska, Judga Slis
covich talked of the financial situation
in the East.
"Tou folks on the Coast can't realize
what the panic has done in the Bast.
Money never was tighter than It Is now.
Men who have cash on hand are not In
vesting it In mining or any other kind of
property. They are loanlng.lt. and only
to friends, at a tremendous high rate of
Interest. New York is full of Alaska and
Nevada mining men who went back there
last Fall, hoping to get money to develop
their properties, and they haven't got
money enough to get back home. I look
for this condition Jo prevail until after
the election, but just now you could not
sell a $30 gold piece for S19, if it waa rep
resented in a gold mine."

possible arrangement to make the visit
to that city agreeable and Interesting.
Dollar-a-day rates have been arranged
for at the hotel. Those who attend
will have an opportunity of visiting the

at this session of the State Grange ia

that delegates both north and south of

the delegates a reception and Wednesday

Master Buxton says:
"This la a very Important aeaalon and
it Is hoped that all delegates will come

In our state seems to b entering on a
period of good growth of a permanent
character. This has been induced by
the sound and very useful character of
Its work In matters of state aa well as
National Import during recent years, and
ita onward progress should not be im
peded by any backward or ill-advised
moves at this time. I trust and believe
that the same wise counsels and broad
principles of charity that have guided it
In the past and which alone can carry it
through dangers In the future will still
prevail and that the coming sessions may
mark the begimvmg of still better things.
"Be sure the resolutions to be offered
are of sufficient importance to warrant
the State Grange in taking up lta time
with their consideration. Tt would be
far better if all resolutions could go
through two or three subordlnata granges
before coming to the State Grange.
Having finally determined that your
resolution is worthy of consideration,
boll It down; eliminate all unnecessary
phrases and preambles: make it short
and to the point, and be sure that it Is
drawn in such a way as to be easily
understood. Then it will probably re
ceive careful consideration."
RECONCILES THE GOULDS
George Gould's Wife Overcomes Ob
jections to Anna's Marriage.
NEW YORK. April 7. That an agree
ment has been reached among the rela
tives of Mme. Gould to interpose no fur
ther objection to her engagement to the
Prince de Sagan, waa reported today.
The persistency of the Prince, who re
