DECLIIS TO 6IVE
VERDICT FDR REID
Court, However, Indicates
That Boy Slayer Should
Be Exonerated.
STROMG CASE FOR DEFENSE
Evidence Tends to Show That I -ad
W Threat ned With Oar When -He
Shot George f. DeMars
Last August.
Jackson Retd. the 12-year-old boy.
who l on trial in the State Circuit
Court for the killing of George K.
DeMars with a revolver on Govern
ment Island at Guild's Lake, last Aug
ust, came very near to being released
on a directed verdict when the state
had completed Its case against him.
late yesterday afternoon. Although It
had been established by the prosecu
tion that the boy killed DeMars delib
erately and intentionally, croas-exam-Inatlon
had developed the fact that
IieMara was In a most aggressive at
titude when shot down and had been
fairly warned.
As soon as the state rested. Attor
ney Idleman. of counsel for the boy.
asked Presiding Judge Gantenbeln to
direct the Jury to return a verdict of
not guilty. He pointed out that the
child had acted in what he thought
waa defense of himself, his sisters and
several other children.
Pictures DeMars as Brute.,
"This big brute that was pursuing
this child with an uplifted oar meant
to use it to dt-adlly purpose." Mr. Idle
man said. "He was an intruder on the
Island, where the children live. His
brother. John DeMars had been trying
to kill the boy's dog with a club and
when Gorge DeMars came rushing up
with an oar and ran at the little boy
he had reason to believe his life was
In danger. He drew up the revolver
he was holding and commanded De
Mars to stop and when he did not stop
he shot with a revolver half as big
as himself and without taking aim.
What does the great State of Oregon
want with this boy who was seeking
to protect himself. Ms sister and the
other children with him from the as
sault of a man armed with an oar?"
Judge Gantenbeln reflected on the
motion for some time. It was clear
from his manner as well as from his
decision that he had made up his mind
as to the merits of the case.
"I think that since the case has pro
ceeded to this stage that I will let It
proceed and have the Jury pass upon
It," he said with a show of reluctance.
Cannot Make Murder Charge.
Even in the event of being convicted
the boy could not be held for the mur
der, but rather as a delinquent minor.
The facts against him. however, as de
developed yesterday in the examination
of witnesses did not serve to show him
in the light of a delinquent child. It
wan contended by the state that DeMars
waa after Reid's dog with his oar
when the tragedy occurred, but from the
position of the man. the boy and the
dog when the fatal shot was fired, an
opposite conclusion is more readily
reached.
The first witness of the day was John
DeMars. brother of the victim. John De
Mars was a witness of the tragedy. He
said he had been cutting across the Island
while George and a Mrs. May Hammer
went about the shore In a boat. He was
going for fishing tackle. His father. Der
rick DeMars. had remained nt another
portion of the strip, fishing. The witness
said he was warned off by the children
and started to leave, whereat Jackson
Held set a dog upon him. The dog pur
sued him and he drove It off with a club.
As he approached the boat, his brother
came running up with an oar. He thought
his brother was Intent on striking the
dog. which was near the children. Sim
ilar testimony was given by Mrs. Ham
mer. E. F. Gardner said he saw the killing
through a transit. As a civil engineer
he was working nearby and seeing (Jeorge
IM-Mars running with an uplifted oar.
turned the transit on him and watched
developments. He saw the boy raise the
revolver and fire. On cross-examination
he said the DeMars party seemed to he
drunk, or partially so. This testimony
was refuted by Patrolmen Mallet and
Peterson, who were on the scene shortly
after the shooting.
Lad Showed No Remorse.
Patrolman Peterson described the boy's
conduct after the shooting. The efficer
said the lad showed no remorse and said
be had been forced to shoot In order to
protect himself and the other children.
Similar testimony was given by Patrol
man Mallftt. and the state then rested.
Frances Reid. sister of the boy. proved
an Important witness. She was called
after A. lelhouser. bookkeeper at the
Mount Hood Brewery, had told of selling
a keg of beer to the DeMars the day
before the shooting. The girl. 13 years
old., said that while John DeMars was
trying to kill the dog. her brother sent
her to the house for the revolver, a big
.46-caltber weapon, with an eight-Inch
barrel. .
When George DeMars came running up
from the boat with an oar. to help his
brother. Frances said lie acted like he
was going to attack the children. Jack
son took the revolver from her at this
moment And went towards DeMars,
pointing the gun at him and telling him
to keep back. Then the shot was fired.
DeMars fell dead and Jackson and the
other children, eight of them In all. ran
away. They went across the Island,
where they found an old man fishing.
Jackson gave up the gun to this old man
and asked him to use it In defending
them as a man was after them. Strangely
enough this man was the father of the
man who had Just been killed.
Frances said that Gco-ge DeMars
frightened her very much when he came
running up with the upraised oar. She
said. too. that her little brother would
not believe It at first when told that the
man ha fired at was dead. I'pon the
completion of her testimony, the case
was continued until today. The defense
rs being conducted by Attorneys Id'eman
and Easterly and the state is represented
br Deputy District Attorneys Vreeland
and Woeessohn with Attorney John H.
6tevenson as special prosecutor.
HOME FROM CONVENTION
It. H. Mlsenheimer Tells of .Work of
Postiffice Clerks.
R. H. Misenheimer, who was the Port
land delegate to the National convention
of postoffice clerks, held at Birmingham.
Ala.. September 7 to 11, has returned
from the East and reports the most suc
cessful convention In the history of the
organization. This convention repre-
sented 20.000 postoffice clerks and its
work was of great importance, not only
to the clerks themselves, but to the postal
service as well. "
"The clerks are greatly encouraged,"
said Mr. Mlsenheimer, "at the success of
the new classification law which became
effective July 1. of thus year, and which,
by providing an automatic and uniform
scale of promotion has measureably les
sened the wholesale resignations of the
past few years.
"The names of James M. Vernon, post
master at Everett. Wash., whose aid in
1 passing this bill was most timely and
effective, and of Frank H. nucncocK.
who has done more for the clerks than
any other man. were cheered to the echo.
"It Is now the desire of the clerks to
get their work down as nearly as possible
to an eight-hour day and to this end a
measure will be presented to the next
Congress.
"The postmasters and business men of
the country are heartily with the clerks
in these matters realising that better
hours and pay mean better clerks and
better service. The convention strongly
Indorsed the postal savings bank, and the
rural parcels post, as advocated by 1'cst-master-General
Von L. Meyer."
Mr. Misenhelmer. who. from his re
semblance to the Nebraskan, was at once
dubbed "W. J. Bryan." did very effective
work for Tacoma as the next convention
city. Atlantic City. X. J., however, won
the prize. Tacoma standing second and
San Antonio third In the race.
WANT PARK AT MT. TflBOR
EAST SIDERS THINK GKOtXD
SHOVIiD BE BOl'GHT NOW.
Committee to Appear Before Park
Commission Today, Setting Forth
Wishes of I nited Push Clubs.
Tomorrow morning at the meeting of
the Park Commission, H. H. Newhall.
Frank J. Parker. J. N. Davis, U B.
Rice and W. jU Boise will appear and
auk that action be taken toward the
purchase of ground at Mount Tabor for
park purposes. This committee is from
the United Bist Side Push dubs and
was appointed mainly to have some ac
tion taken on the park question, for it
haa seemed to many citizens that little
or no progress la being made toward se
curing a park at Mount Tabor, or any
where else. The general park plan in
cludes 169 acres at Mount Tabor., but
whether this amount of land will finally
be purchased fs not known at present.
Frank Parker, who has had the Mount
Tabor park proposition in hand for sev
eral years, says that the land included
I !n the 169 acres leaves out the level por
tion between West avenue and Mount
Tabor that could be used for a play
ground and which he thinks ought to be
included. Mr. Parker, who also is In
formed on Mount Tabor prices, is of
the opinion that the city will have to
secure the land through condemnation
proceedings, as the price has advanced
rapidly during the past two years. When
he first began agitation for a park at
Mount Tabor the land could have been
secured for two-thirds the present price,
and he says that if the city waits very
much longer before taking action. It will
have to pay much more. It is said on
good authority that the water commit
tee contemplates locating two reser
voirs on the west side of Mount Tabor
for the second Bull Run pipe line, one
for the low and one for the high service
system, and In that case the full 169
acres and perhaps more will be needed.
Sunnyslde wants a portion of the Ladd
farm on the Base Line road, covered
with timber, secured for a park. Cen
tral East Portland also would like Haw
thorne Park secured before It is cut up
Into blocks and sold for residence pur
pose. North Alblna wants a park north
of Klllingsworth avenue on Albina ave
nue. The committee will ask the Com
mission to take up the whole park ques
tion at once.
PAUL STRAIN IS BANKRUPT
Debts of Well-Known Merchant Are
Placed at $128,294.
. Paul strain, proprietor of the Brwrton
store, at First and Salmon streets. Port
land, of the United Merchant's store, at
Marshtiold, Or., and the United Mer
chant's store on Market street. San Fran
cisco, yesterday afternoon through his at
torneys John F. Logan and John H.
Stevenson, filed In the United States Cir
cuit Court, a petition In bankruptcy. The
news that Strain has been forced into
bankruptcy will surprise many people in
the city, for it was generally believed
that his store here was making monev.
Strain places his liabilities at 91,294.79
and his assets at about &0.WX
The petition was filed early yesterday
afternoon, but nothing was known of It
until late In the afternoon. Jn addition
to a long list of creditors named In the
petition, there Is a list of nine employes
who have salaries coming to them. While
the petition does not set out the reason
for Strain's failure. It is understood that
he was forced to the wall by entering
business in San Francisco. Sometime
ago Strain established a store at 913, 915
and 917, Market street and this venture
Is said to have cost him between J40.XK
and JC0.000. The list of creditors is a
long one and Includes business firms
from New York to San Francisco and also
a number of Portland business houses.
Local newspapers and those of San Fran
cisco were caught by the failure.

MAYOR NUT NUT
VETO ORDINANCE
Says Cellars Measure Discrim
inates in Favor of
Larger Grills.
THINKS AMENDMENT JUST
Is in Favor of Rushlight's Change.
Which Will Be Disappointment to
Church People, Pinning Their
Faith on His Negation.
Indications are that Mayor Lane will
not veto the much-mooted amendment
to the Cellars anti-women-ln-saloons ordi
nance, a subject which has created wide
spread interest in Portland since last
Council meeting one week ago. Every
minister and thousands of his followers
have fully expected that the Executive
would put his stamp of disapproval on
the Rushlight attachment to the law. and
they have their faith pinned -to the Mayor
now, but there are reasons to believe he
will not fulfil their expectations, although
he has noj officially committed himself.
From information obtained yesterday. It
is believed that Mayor Lane regards the
original Cellars ordinance as unfair; that
it discriminated in favor of "the big
hotels," and when the Mayor was asked
If he intends to veto the latest amend
ment, he said:
"I have yet one week in which to reflect
upon and study the matter, and you are
at liberty to quote me aa saying, 'suffi
cient unto the day Is the evil thereof." "
Aside from this Biblical quotation, the
favorite with Mayor Lane, he declined to
discuss the matter. However, it Is said
that he Is quite apt to allow the amend
ment to become a law either with or
without his signature, on the grounds that
it is more equitable and just to all than
the original, passed by the Council five
weeks ago, and of which Councilman Cel
lars Is the author. It Is said to be a
fact that he believes the Cellars ordinance
discriminates against the "small" saloons
and restaurants, and threw the trade held
by them to the "big" hotels and grills.
While it Is said that if Mayor Lane does
not veto the amendment, it will be on
yte principle stated. It Is also added that
he does not wish to disturb the harmony
now existing In a ery large measure
between himself and the majority of the
City Council. Of late, there has been very
little friction -between the legislative and
executive branches. Furthermore, his
strongest supporters in the turbulent past
are among those who voted for the
amendment that has caused so much un
favorable comment. They are Council
man Rushlight, president of the Council;
Councilman Cottel, a favorite of the
Mayor and chairman of the liquor-license
committee, and Councilman Kellaher, also
an intimate of the Mayor, and chairman
of a special franchise committee, named
by the Executive to probe franchises.
If Mayor Lane does not veto the amend
ment, it will become a law in one week.
unless he signs It, at which time it will
become active.
Without his veto, the enemies of the
amendment are helpless, but upon his
veto they are staking their every hope.
If he vetoes it, they contend there are
not enough votes to pass It over his ob
jection. T
LICENSEES UNDER OCCUPATION
TAX MUST NOT FAIL.
Auditor Gives Notice That He Will
No Longer Call Attention of De
linquents to Remisses.
City Auditor Barbur has issued an of
ficial statement to business and profes
sional men of Portland, notifying them
that he will no longer continue the prac
tice of calling their attention to the fact
that their licenses are due. Arrests will
be ordered in a LI cases of delinquency.
In this manner, the Auditor figures, he
can save much valuable time and keep
his inspectors at some other business.
"I simply am forced to take drastic
measures," said Mr. Barbur In com
menting on the notices now being mailed
to those concerned. "It has become such
a difficult task to keep tab on delinquents
that I have decided to notify each that It
must be discontinued. I do not like to
cause any one trouble or annoyance, but
I will have to instruct the police to ar
resjt every person who does not pay the
license fee levied by the law in future."
Mr. Barbur's official notification U as
follows:
It has been th custom of thia office
heretofore to notify each person or firm,
delinquent for city licenses, by a personal
rail of the Inspector, or by sending out
notices, whlrh was not required by law.
Very little attention has been paid to tliea
rails or notices tn the past and as the In
spector's time if now required to check up
new business, owing to the rapid growth of
the city, I am compelled to discontinue
notifying delinquents.
-Hereafter all licenses must he paid on or
before the loth of the following months:
January. April. July and October. This
rives ten day's grace, air all licenses are
due on the first of the quarter. The above
rule will not be deviated from In any case.
BHow Is copy of the two sections of or
dinance which refers directly to the time
that licenses shall he paid:
"Section 4. All licenses Issued as quar
terly licenses nhatl expire on the lact day
of each quarter of the year, viz: March 31,
June .10. September 30 and December 3t.
All quarterly licenses shall be dated from
the first day of the month In whlrh the
11a hi Illy accrued, and shall be issued upon
payment of a proportionate part of the
whole amount of tax Imposed for such li
cense. "Section S. The payment of the amount
of a license tax provided In this ordinance
Is du the first day of each quarter of the
year, via: January 1. April 1. July 1 and
October 1. The Auditor of the City of
Portland Is hereby authorized to Issue any
licenser prescribed In this ordinance, provid
ed the money for such license tax has been
paid Into the treasury of the city."
Respectfully yours.

Northbound freight business Is good.
Nearrly every steam schooner entering
the port has a quantity of freight for
Portland., This seriously interferes with
business of the regular liners. Two years
ago. when lumber rates (steam) to San
Francisco, were up to 9 a 1C00 and bet
ter, steam schooners would not bother
with northbound freight. Profits were
faster with only southbound cargoes.
When rates dropped to 2.25 a 1000 many
of the craft were forced out of commis

The patient can resume any kind of

If you want a real, prompt, perfect and iwliable cure of Varico
cele without pain or confinement to your room. Is it not about
time to commence looking at the logical practical, and plain fact
side of it? If I could be paid one-half the money that is spent on
these fake electrical appliances, that positively never cured a sin

NATURE'S REMEDY
CURES WHILE YOU SLEEP
Here's a remedy that cures while
you sleep. No poisonous drugs to
swallow. No weak stomach or di
gestive troubles due to drugginsT
This remedy is Nature's medicine
electricity. '
The only way to cure anything
is to help Nature. Nature will cure
when she has the power. That
power is elec
tricity. Feed it to
your nerves and
they -will absorb
and carry it to
every organ and
tissue of the body
where it gives
health and vim
to every ailing
part.
The real o n
drugs don't cure
is because they
do not assist Na
t u r e. Nature
needs nourish
ment, strength,
something- that builds up. Drugs
contain no nourishment, no elec
tricity, not one thing that builds
vitality Just poison which tears
down.
My way Is the best way of ap
plying electricity. It's the only
method that has proven success
ful. I've had twenty years' experi
ence in treating disease with elec
tricity and I know more about it
than any other doctor on earth.
My Electro-Vigor is the result of
this twenty years' experience.
Electro-Vigor is an electric body
battery, applied while you sleep.
It sends a constant stream of elec
tric life into the nerves and vitals
all night long.
Electro-Vigor is not an electric
belt. It never needs charging, for
it makes its own power continuously.
