COURT LIMELIGHT
Reynolds Testifies Prospective
Bidders Conferred Two
Days Before Transfer.
SYNDICATE PLANS LAID
Spanton Assigns Receipt for First
Deposit to United States Trust
Company Jacob Accused
of Threat to "Block."
The tangle of Interests and oounter-Jn-tereets
of claims and counter-claims,
caused bv the purchase of the old County
Poorfarm by W. A. Spanton. was put in
the limelight yesterday afternoon, when
Attorney E. V. Littlefleld. counsel for
&ank Bollam, took the deposition, of
H K. Reynolds. l3. E. Keasey and Span
ton before Circuit Judge Guen. Attor
ney Urtlefleld first asked that all de
Jlndants In the suit brought by Bollam
be excluded from the courtroom, w.th the
exception of the one on the wltnesl
stand. This motion was resided by At
torney Pipes, appearing for some of the
defendants, and Jude Gatens deckled
that in taking depositions, as in trying a
case, the parties to tiie suit cannot be ex
cluded from the room.
Bollam is suing Reynolds. Keasey,
Stanton. B. M. Lombard. Fred JaCobs
Hurry 1 Suydam. Judge Webster and
County Commissioners Llghtner and
Barnes to prevent the Commissioners
from giving Spanton and his associates
a deed to the county property, averring
that they acted exclusively in its pur
chase, and thus prevented competitive
bidding. Bollam has deposited with the
County Court a certified check for $5000
to show his good faith, and promises to
submit a bid higher than that of the de
fendants in case the present suit is de
cided in his favor.
Trust Company Assignee.
From yesterday's testimony it appears
that the County Court's receipt for the
JSiyio paid by Spanton on the property
was assigned by the latter to the United
States Trust Company, and that Reynolds
holds all the stock In the concern except
one share, held by his wife and his secre
tary, George Peck. What interest Span
ton or his associates now have in the
property did not appear from yesterday's
testimony, as Spanton was not asked
what he received in return for his as
signment of interest to the corporation.
The original plan was for four of the
parties defendant to form the corporation
and to finance the deal.
Mr. Reynolds testined yesterday after
noon that, before Spanton placed his bid
he (Reynolds) talked to Commissioner
Barnes, and asked him bow much tha
Commissioners expected to obtain for the
poorfarm. Reynolds said that Barnes told
him if the county received $730 an acre
for the property the County Court would
consider that It was getting all the land
was worth.
"After the bids were opened," continued
Reynolds, "JudEe Webster stepped down
from the bench and shook hands with
Mr. Spanton, and in congratulating him
said: "You nave put in a good, big bid.
and are entitled to the property." "
Snanton's bid was J7t5 an acre, repre
senting a total of $134,430.
Reynolds testified that he told Spanton
he was willing to take a block of the
corporation stock in case a syndicate was
organized to finance the poorfarm deal
and place the property on the market.
The plan was to mak the farm an addi
tion to the city, and to run one or two
streetcar lines Into it.
Reynolds said the had a talk with Span
ton and Lombard in Jacobs' office on
June 16. two days before the contract of
sale for the farm was awarded, and that
they agreed to take Keasey Into the
deal. Before they left for dinner they
signed what Reynolds termed a "gentle
men's" agreement to form the corpora
tion. The witness testified that he con
templated dividing his share with Dr. An
drew C. Smith.
Block Threat Alleged.
Spanton said that after the four had
laid their plans to incorporate, he met
Jacobs, and the latter said, half Jokingly:
"Look here. Billy, you had better let me
in on this or I will block you. I know
you haven't this deal financed yet."
Reynolds said Spanton told him that Ja
cobs intended to use his influence with
the County Court to "queer" the deal in
ome way unless Jacobs was admitted to
the corporation. The upshot of it was
that Jacobs was taken In. Suydam was
also taken in later, and Keasey dropped
out. The latter said last" night that it
was not because he lacked funds that he
decided to drop from the deal, but be
cause Jacobs and 8uydam were admitted
to the syndicate.
While on the witness stand Reynolds
took occasion to flay Attorney George
Joseph for what he termed unfair treat
ment. Reynolds said he had employed
Joseph, and that the latter was now
using the Information thus obtained for
the benefit of Reynolds' enemies.
"I am not now on speaking terms with
Joseph." said Reynolds.
Keasey told of a talk he had with Lorn--bard,
who also submitted a bid to the
County Court. I which they came to the
conclusion that Lombard would not re
ceive the contract for the propertv, and
that It would be best to Join Spanton's
.ynCl.-nte. All denied that Lombard
threatened to file a higher bid than Span
ton's. A protest which Lombard filed
with the County Court earlv in July,
offering to pay.tno.009 on July 18. when it
was due. In case Spanton was unable to
raise the money, was introduced in evi
dence yesterday. The contract of sale
was made June IS, and the $30,000 was to
be paid In 30 days. The payment was
not made on time by Spanton. Lombard
Is now suing over the poorfarm sale, as
well as Bollam.
COOL, SHE FOILS THIEF
Daylight Burglar Nabbed After
Leaving Home of Mr. Barnes.
Mrs. F. C. Barnes, wife of County Com
missioner, Barnes, had an exciting experi
ence yesterday afternoon with a man be
lieved to be a daylleht burglar. He en
tered the Burnes home with the evident
intention of robbery, but was frustrated
by being discovered by Mrs. Barnes. He
was later captured by Detectives Snow
and Coleman and Mounted Patrolman
Gill, after a search extending over two
hours.
The alarm was sent to the police sta
tion by Mrs. Barnes shortly after noon,
and the detectives were dispatched In an
automobile to the scene. Mrs. Barnes
was alone at the time and resting in a
rear room on the first floor. She was
startled to see standing In the room a
man. who had entered through the kitch
en door. Although startled. Mrs. Barnes
had the presence of mind to demand his
business and assume a composed de
meanor. The man stammered an excuse
and d.perted In haste.
Mrs. Barnes noticed that the Interloper
wore rubber-soled shoes, and his .tread
was noiseless. . Divining that his purpose
must have been robbery, she gave the
police alarm. The prisoner gave his
name as Charles Henson. He stated he
was looking for something to eat. and
had only recently been released from the
County Hospital.

OAKS READY FOR CHILDREN
Great Preparations Made at Park
for Labor Day.
m
Dotted over the beautiful park at the
Paks yesterday were groups of children,
self-conscious in their importance as
"stars." They were members of the big
class of Professor M. M. Rlngler. out for
a rehearsal ot the events the little people
are to engage in next Monday. Dona
telll's band went over the programme
with the youngsters and everything was
found to be In shipshape.
Labor day at the Oaks will be one
stored away in the memory as an epoch.
Tbe great pleasure park is to be given
nvr trt th ,iinni children for their very
own. and the management has arranged
many fun-making events for the pleasure
of the youthful guests.
School children of 10 years and under
will be given free- admission, and their
elders will be attracted to the park to
witness the antics and capers of the
little men and women in their carnival.
The Oaks is an ideal place for both
young and old to put in an afterffoon or
evening. On Monday there are to be
Maypole dances and others of a charac
teristic nature; songs and .evolutions.
Being a legal holiday, the little students
in the public schools naturally expect
something out of the ordinary for their
benefit The Oaks management has rec
ognized this expectation and has arranged
all sorts of entertainment for his little
guests.
A "flock" of clowns has been engaged
to be on the grounds and assist in mak
ing fun, and the swimming pool will
have some surprises to offer.
The Tyroleans, from the far-away Alps,
will be art object lesson to the little
folks, and -the wonderful Desperado In his
great act will fill their little souls with
admiration for his daring as well as
their parents.
"Please, mamma, take me to the Oaks
Monday." probably will be the request
most frequently . made In the next two
days by the Junior Portlanders.

HER BABY BOY A
T
Pimply Rash Spread Until Head,
Face and Body were Covered with
Eczema Hands Bandaged to
Keep from Scratching Was a
Fearful Sight and Defied Cure.
CUTICURA MADE SKIN
CLEAR AND HEALTHY
" My baby's eczema came on when he
was three months old, like a rash on his
face and then spread over his head.
Then there began to form a lot of small
pimples over nis head from which a
watery substance came out and formed
ft regular mass of crust all over his head,
face and body. I had to tie woolen cloths
on his hands to keep him from scratching
himself. He was a fearful sight to look
at. I went to a drug store and tried
some of their remedies for eczema but
they did not do him any good. I then
called in one of our leading physicians
and he tried several kinds of medicine
and gave me prescriptions, but they
only made him worse.
''At this stage a lady friend of mine
came in and advised me to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. That afternoon I sent
for a cake of Cuticura Soap, a bor of Cuti
oura Ointment and one vial of Cuticura
Pills, and in less than a week I could see
a vast improvement in him. I washed
him all over every morning with the
Cuticura Soap and gave him an appli
cation of the Cutioura Ointment after
his bath. I kept on using the Cuticura
Remedies until he was completely cured.
They left his skin clear and healthy and
I always have kept the Cuticura Reme
dies in the house ever since. I highly
recommend Cuticura to all persons suf
fering from eczema. Mrs. Kate Broug

PIMPLES CURED
"I congratulate Cuticura upon my
speedy recovery from pimples which
covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent for ten days
and my face cleared and I am perfectly
well. I had tried doctors for several
months but got no results. Wm. J.

REASONS FOR MY UNEQUALED SUCCESS
It Is not so much In
knowing a great deal
About many things, as
in knowing: all about a
few things. When a
doctor graduates from
a medical colleg-e it is
after the various pro
fessors have tried to
Impart their knowledge
to him, and it takes
about 12 or 15 pro
fessors In the various
lines of study four
years to qualify a stu
dent for the practice of
medicine, and then he
is simply licensed not
qualified.
Does a sane man ex
pect a medical student
to go forth from a col
lege as thorough in
knowledge in each
branch as the individual
professor who finds it
necessary to devote his
entire time to a single
subjects such as anato
mv or chemistry, and
who is then far from
perfect? It is a poor
rule that won't work
both ways if one pro
fessor Is not competent
to teach a student all
about anatomy, c h e m
istry, physiology, h i s
tology, obstetrics, sur
gery,' p a t h o 1 ogy, bac
teriology and the many
other branches too

Rheumatism is due to aa excess of uric acid, an irritating, mflammatory
accumulation, which gets into the circulation because of weak kidneys,
constipation, indigestion, and other physical irregularities which are usually
considered of no importance.- Nothing applied externally can ever reach
the seat of this trouble; the most such treatment can do is soothe the parns
temporarily; while potash and other mineral medicines really add to the
acidity of the blood, and this fluid therefore continually grows more acrid
and vitiated. Then instead of nourishing the different muscles and Joints,
keeuinK them in a normally supple and elastic oondition, it gradually hardens
MdPstfflensThem by drying up the natural oils and fluids. Rheumattam can
never be cured until the blood is purified. 8. S. S. thorough y cleanses and
renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and driving th. cause
from the system. It strengthens and invigorates the blood so that Instead
of a sour, weak stream, depositing acrid and painful corrosive matter to
the muscles, joints and bones, it nourishes the entire body with pure, rich
blood and permanently cures Rheumatism. 8. Si S. contains no Potash,
alkali or other harmful mineral, but is made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks of great purifying and tonic properties. Book on Rheumatism and
any medical advice free to all who write.

I Fulfill Every Promise .
I do not care what your experience has been with other treatments,
what guarantees you have, and what promises were unfulfilled In ths
past, as unsuccessful, unscientific treatments and unreliable concerns
are In no way a reflection upon honest, trustworthy business methods
lived up to by me for twenty-five ears. I have an established reputa
tion and my guarantee means that my patients are Indisputably insured
of success In their case. There la all the difference in the world be
tween a guarantee of this kin d and the promises of those mushroom
concerns which are continually falling in business. I repeat my straight
forward, square proposition to wait for my fee until the cure Is effected.
I not only thoroughly cure my patients
but 1 am usually able to errect a cure in
less than half the time most physicians re-
?uire to produce even partial results. Were
lacking in knowledge pertaining to my
specialty I would never have attained my
present sucoess, nor would I today be recog
nized as the leading specialist treating men's
diseases. I ask you to call at my office and
talk with me about your case. Examination
and consultation will cost you nothing, and I
will explain to you my methods of curing.
