THE 3IOKMAG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 27, 1910. CENSUS TAKERS IN general public in riding on the cars of tbe United Railway, it seems to me that the bitter controversy between the town of Linn ton and the railway company ought to be submitted for settlement to the State Rail road Commission. As it is now, it dam ages unnecessarily both the community and the company, and the courts are power! e to determine the ultimate issue, which 1b Is fi cents in the present condition of traffic adequate remuneration to the company for the service rendered? The court can fix the responsibility un der the contract and enforce it, but aJl the courts in Christendom can not permanently maintain railroad transportation where it in rot remunerative. In Central and Western Oregon that has been tried several times with uniformly disastrous results, and it can not be done any more than one can keep a reservoir full with more water run ning out than is running in. Many people think of a. Railroad Commis sion as a device to lower rates only, but Its power to raise them in a proper case Is upon principle just the same and is based upon exactly the same considerations the public service and its proper mainte nance. Suppose a company has, by an im provident contract or otherwise, fixed too low a rate. It is not a common occurrence, but a perfectly possible one. It can not, of course, maintain it. Tbe mere attempt to do so spells failure. Or let us suppose that a railroad company fixes the fare between ST. JOHNS' MAYOR 8 INDICTED Sherman Way & Co. Four Days Remain in Which to v Complete Work in This l District. True Bills Returned Against Men Accused of Riots Against Hindus. Morrison, at Sixth St. Opposite Postoffice MANY OFFER TO ASSIST SCORES GIVE TESTIMONY 14 GRAND RUSH NOW AND I Saloonkeeper Who nefnscd to Give "'" Enumerator Information Be cause He Was Busy Eating -' His Dinner, Is in Court. READ ALL THESE QUESTIONS. Are you counted In the census 7 Have you seen to It that your wife, your children, your mother-in-law and the servants are .on the rolls? Have you called over the back yard fence to your neighbor and asked the same pertinent question? Have you realized that this census business Is here In Portland for the first time In ten years, and that it. won't come around again for an other ten years T Do you know that after Saturday It will ba everlastingly too late to ex ercise a patriotic duty In Portland In 1910; that no more names can be added tiO the list, no matter whether 160,000 or 225.000 have been counted? Have you told your employes about the census? Io you know that the Census Bureau Is In the Lumber Exchange' building, and that Supervisor Beach Is ready to send somebody around with a list of questions if he Is in formed that his enumerators have Inadvertently overlooked any person? Yesterday was the busiest day recorded in the office of Census Supervisor Beach, who is in charge of counting- the people of the Second Congressional District of Oregon. Apparently awakening to the fact that only four more days are left in which to secure a full and accurate count of the city of Portland, the headquarters were deluged with offers of assistance. Among those who came forward with Information which will be of value in re cording the wonderful growth of the Rose City were R. W. Wilbur, Frank T. Dodge, superintendent of the water works sys tem; Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, II. C. Camp bell, J. M. Gallert and Colonel Beebe. The principal and teachers of Chapman - School reported that they had caused an 'Inventory of the neighborhood of the building to be' made and that the net re sult was 40 omitted families. George S. Shepherd occupied a few mo ments at headquarters with a practical suggestion, which is thought to be appeal ing to every citizen. Mr. Shepherd pro posed to take one day off from business, or so much of It as may be necessary, to make a complete canvass of the block in which he resides. He urged that every citizen do at least that much. At the rate of one for every three min utes all day long, the telephone calls came Into census headquarters yesterday. Many of them wera reports of omissions and still others developed into tenders of automobiles and river launches for the last days of the work. The census head quarters will remain open practically day and night from this time forward? In spectors will be there at all times, and the supervisor intends to remain "on the job." except for a few meals and a dozen winks of sleep. Checking is now in progress, 24 dis tricts having been completed, and the enumerators assigned to assist in other parts of the city. When arraigned before United States Commissioner Cannon yesterday Henry J. Sperling, arrested for failing to answer the enumerator after three calls at his saloon, opposite the entrance to the ball grounds, admitted that he had been a little "stubborn" in the matter. He pro duced the blanks for a number ofhis roomers over the saloon and promised to aid Enumerator Taylor in securing the information. The hearing was continued for one day, in order that witnesses .might be produced in the case. Sperling is a man of intelligence and told the court that he thoroughly understood the purpose of the census. His only excuse was that he was busy on all three occa sions when Taylor called, the last visit being ill-timed because Sperling was eat ing his dinner. J1EDFORD FIGURES OX 10,0 00 - Census Enumerators Find Families ".. Average Six to Household. MEDFORD, Or.. April 26. (Special.) The census-takers In this city are rapidly rounding up their work. As nearly as ' can be estimated before the actual count la turned in Medford will have a popula tion of between 9000 and 10,000 people, a larger number than had been estimated. Returns indicate that the families in the city will average, six persons each. One of the enumerators in talking of this large average said: - J'Medford is a city of large families, rl I was greatly surprised to learn-it. Of those I have counted, I believe each family will total ix. I found one with 13 children, besides the father and mother." PASTOR IS GIVEN WELCOME Central Baptist Church Extends Re ception to Rev.

Mr. Ehrgott hasy' been in Portland only a short time, coming here from a pastorate in Cleveland, O., but he has become very popular already. .

As the owner of considerable real elat aeax Llnntor and Interested & one of the -i "WIFE OV PORTI.A1VD KEER DEAD. Mrs. Florence V. Klippel. Mrs. Florence V. Klippel, wife of a well-known Portland civil engineer, Henry V. Klippel, who died at Oroville. Cal., April 20, was buried in River view Ceme tery Saturday. Mrs. Klippel con tracted pneumonia while with her husband, who was carryinsj on a contract on the Western Pacific Railroad in California. Mrs. Klippel was well known here, be ing a daughter of D. P. Sterling and a sister of Mrs. Carl Zimmer man. here and Oregon City at $1- This Is too high and destroys the railroad's value as a public convenience, and the commission promptly reduces the rate in the interest of the public. Would we not all concede this to be right and proper? On the other hand, suppose the company, by an Improvident contract or in anticipa tion of a large traffic, fixes a rate of 6 cents, and from the traffic that actually Is de veloped, can not maintain it. Then Is H not eoually right that the Railroad Com-' mission should promptly raise the fare to a remunerative figure? The proper main tenance of the road is just as necessary to its public use as are reasonable rates upon It. In other words, the public from a decent regard to common honesty and in its own interest must give as well as take. I am not asserting that a fare of 5 cents is too low a tare to Llnnton; as a matter of fact, the railway company could prob ably well afford to sell commutation tickets to actual residents for 5 cents, charging, per haps. lO rents to others, but the matter ought to be finally and quickly determined. Fixing correctly the reasonable remunera tive rate Is the only final determination that will abide. The Linn ton people need not fear the results of such an appeal to the Railroad Commission, for, after all." stable and f.xed transportation at reasonable rates Is the essential thing. Witness the west side of the Willamette River from Portland south to Oregon City. This section has had railroad transportation for only half the distance and this of the Southern Pacific variety, with high charges nevertheless, for the last four. or five years It has enjoyed a veritable boom. Hand some houses are going up everywhere, and land that I was glad to sell four years ago for $100O an acre now commands $7000 and $10,000 an acre. Much of it is absolutely unpurchasable, while Linn ton way, in just as beautiful a country, the railway row. is stopping everything. By all manner of means, let the people and the railway company get together and settle their differences once for ail. A pros perous community can not be built up on the basis of a foolish contract, but only on the basis of honest value given and received. THOS. N. STRONG. SELLWOOD TO CO-OPERATE Committee Will Urge Necessity of Willamette Bridge. The Sellwood Board of Trade will co operate with South Portland in secur ing: the erection of a higrh bridge at the south end of the city.

' Portland banks which are members of the local Clearing House will accept Canadian currency at par. They will not, however, accept Canadian silver at par, or at all, without a special arrangement for exchange made in each case. An impression is current in Portland that the banks will accept the silver, fol lowing the publication -some time ago of B. report of the meeting of the Clearing House Association. John Tj. Hartman, president of the Clearing House, declared yesterday the agreement referred only to the paper, and pilver coinage would not be handled under that agreement. 250-POUND BEAR IS SLAIN Dog Holds Bruin at Bay While Mas ter Goes for Rifle.

The Mayor was at that time presiding in the City Hall at a meeting of the firemen, and the Hindu had fled to him for protec tion, it is charged.

Federal Court, probably will receive an offer of the presidency of the University of Minnesota. His name has been pre sented to the board of regents, and has met with favor, but Mr. Lind says he will not accept the position. "The fact that my name has been mentioned in this connection I regard as a 'high honor," said Mr. Lind. "At the same time, if an offer of the presi dency is made to me, I shall be com pelled to decline. I have served on the board of regents for several years and still occupy that position. For that reason. If for no other, I should feel It my duty to decline the presi dency.

ORB'S SCARS HOLD HIM COCKT BEXIES WRIT OF HAB EAS CORPUS ASKED, Man Fiphting Against Return to Prison as Escaped Convict Loses First Round. Grabbing Frank Orr by the arm with a surly, "Come on," Ietective Coleman hustled hi prisoner off to Jail yesterday afternoon after Circuit Judge Bronaugh had denied a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Orr 1s Junior partner in the elec trlcal firm of Knight & Orr, doing busi ness at 183 Morrison street, who was ar rested by Coleman recently on suspicion of being George Adajns, alias Orr, who escaped from the officers at Pasco, Wash., early in October. 1908. while being taken to the Walla Walla penitentiary to serve time for burglarizing a Tacoma fur niture store. Orr has stoutly maintained his inno cence, but the strong resemblance be tween him and the Orr who se'rved time In the Walla Walla penitentiary on a previous occasion for 'burglary convinced Judge Bronaugh. The Judge noticed a peculiar small cut in the top of the right ear. This appears in both photographs. Orr also has a 32-point mariner's" com pass tattooed upon his right arm. The same mark was upon the arm of Adams, alias Orr, who escaped. A scar running diagonally along the inside of his left forefinger and three peculiar scars over his left eye made the identification more complete. Orr came to Portland from the North soon after the escape of Adams; R. B. Robinson, the officer who arrested Adams In Tacoma, Identified the prisoner as the same man who escaped from him at Pasco; D. O. Smith,- an offi cer from Tacoma. said electrical tools were found In Adams' room after his ar rest. Indicating that he was an electrician,- and officials from the Walla Walla penitentiary, where Orr pre-lously served three years, positively identified the pris oner as the same man. The Orr who served time was an Englishman, and the prisoner said yesterday he was born in London, England, in 18S1, coming to Bos ton on the Cunard liner Saxonia, in Octo ber, 1902. Although Orr gave a lucid account of his movements from the time he left Liverpool, in October, 1902, until his ar rest by Detective Coleman upon Informa tion furnished by a stool-pigeon, he had no letters or other documentary evidence from friends to corroborate his state ments. Among those who positively Identified Orr were N. L. Lovell. of the Walla Walla penitentiary; Fred 8cott, chief Jailer at the penitentiary: W. H. Mead, superintendent of the Jute mill; John Fitzgerald, captain of detectives at Ta coma, and R. El Robinson, the arresting officers in Tacoma. The extradition papers from the Gov ernor of Washington arrived yesterday, and Orr will be taken before Governor Benson immediately. Judge Bronaugh in timated that it would be well for Orr. If he hopes to establish an alibi before the Governor, to secure letters from his for mer employers and people who knew him. SMITH PUT UP MONEY KOSEBIRG BANK RECORDS SHOW KRIBS GOT $200,000. Defense Admits Payment of Money, but Declaes Minnesota Million aire Was Innocent of Fraud. Admitted by stipulation, the records of the First .-National Bank of Roseburg yesterday exhibited conclusive evidence that the money furnished to Linn County entrymen In 1900 by Frederick A. Kribs, timber cruiser, came from the coffers of Charles A. Smith. Minnesota millionaire from whom the Government is endeavor ing to recover title t. 68 Oregon timber claims. Entry No. 1 was on April 12 of that year, when Kribs made a sight- draft for J30.0"0, which was honored by Smith at the Swedish-American National Bank of Minneapolis. The date was Just one week 'prior to the taking of final proofs and payment of the Government price of $2.50 per acre on 33 claims. At a later date In May, Kribs again drew for a single sum of $40,000. Altogether Smith furnished Kribe about $200,000 during April and May, 1900. While payment of the money was ad mitted by the defense. Attorneys Lind and Ueland" stand pat on the assertion that Smith did not know that he was purchasing lands which were being ac quired from the Government as the re suit of a conspiracy between S. A. ' D. Puter and Horace McKlnley. They draw the fine distinction by argument that Kribs. as agent for 6m1th. may have known that a conspiracy existed, but that the principal cannot be bound by the corrupt acta of the agent. Another defense Indicated by those con nected with the defense in the three cases-now on trial will be reliance upon the definition of conspiracy delivered by Judge Hanford in the trial of ex-Repre eentative J. N. Williamson. At that time it was declared that it could not be considered unlawful to borrow money in good faith to prove up on a timber claim McKlnley testified that Puter and him self were trying to borrow the money in good faith, and In that way Smith came into the deal. Counteracting that claim Untted States Attorney McCourt pointed out that at the same moment that Kribs furnished Smith's money to prove up and take mortgages In his own name, the entry men were required to deed the lands to John H. Wllld, now admitted to have been acting for Smith as a matter of convenience. 'In the examination of witnesses every oiitryman testified that while he only hoped to make from SM to 5100. promled by McKlnley, they felt at liberty to sell the lands to whomsoever they thought fit. With the conclusion of the case affect Ing 33 timber claims, another, involving title to 17 claims in Linn t ounty which were filed upon and title acquired at a later date than those covered by case No. 8320. was presented to the court.- Tine 17 claims were secured at a date sub sequent to that named as the date of the appearance of F. A. Kribs in Linn County and at the Roseburg Land Office. William Billings went on the stand and testified that when he appeared at the Roseburg Land Office to make a filing at the request of Meahty Bros., he was furnished papers In which a portion of the lands wanted by the Northern Pacific Railroad were Included. Kribs, he said, was there, and aided the entryman in correcting the filings. Afterward the land, covered by that claim, was ac quired by Smith, and now reposes in the ownership of the Linn-Lane Timber Com pany. Fred Wodli, of Linn County, testified for the Government that he had seen The Fame of the STEIN WAY The Piano by -which all . others are measured and judged is not merely a local or National one. It is international, universal, world-wide and is the recognition in the strongest possible manner of a work of art that is in its line without an equal, without a rival.

Sl- sCT-' ' "Jul" num o Sherman, Clay & Co. are the sole representa tives of Steinway & Sons on the Pacific Coast. New Steinway Pianos can be obtained only through Sherman, Clay & Co. Smith, Kribs and Puter in the vicinity of the lands secured by him prior to having filed at Roseburg. A check, eigned by Kribs for the pur chase price of the 17 claims involved in the second attack of the Government, was tendered and admitted as evidence. Across the face of the check was written "C. A. S. account" but the attorneys for the defense refused to admit that the check connected C. A. Smith, of Minne apolis, with the transaction. Stephen A. D. Puter is on his way to Portland, as District Attorney McCourt is informed. He should appear in the United States Court on Monday. Puter 4s under Indictment in Minnesota and is said to owe lumber dealers of that state many thousands of dollars. It has been openly asserted that Puter will fall to arrive. Horace McKlnley is authority for the statement that Puter will be here. "Puter hates Smith too much to stay If you are a woman and you have this symptom get Lydia E.
