12 THE BIORNIXG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 1910. TRIAL HALTED BY LACK OF TALESMEN Last Name Drawn From Box in Effort to Get Men to Try . W. Cooper Morris. OTHERS TO BE BORROWED Wen Will Be Brought From Another Department of Court Seven of 18 Examined ExcusedFriend of Accused Man Is Passed. In the trial of W. Cooper Morris for the alleged embezzlement of J3O.O0O In cash and $75,000 in notes from the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank on December 15, 1906, while he was cashier, a sudden halt was reached at 4 o'clock yesterday after noon when Deputy Clerk Briggs an nounced to Judge Gantenbein that the name of the last available Juror on the regular panel had been drawn from the box. It was only the second day of the May term of the Circuit Court, and but 18 prospective Jurors had been examined. Of these seven were excused. It is expected that 12 jurors will be released from an other department this- morning, when the Morris jury can be completed and the opening statements made. Shortly before 4 o'clock 12 men had been examined for cause and found quali fied. Seneca Fouts, Judge Gordon, of Tacoma, and Alex Sweek, representing Morris, used none of their peremptory challenges and the opening statement of the state would have been made, except that Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald end the special prosecutor, A. E. Clark, decided to exercise one of the state's three peremptory challenges upon Laza rus Robinson," proprietor of a dry goods tore at 681 First street. Friend of Morris l'assed. It was during the questioning of Rob inson by the defendant's attorneys that Attorney Clark objected to a question relative to the insolvency of the bank. The court allowed the question to be asked and Robinson said he knew noth ing of the bank's condition. The state's attorneys made a vigorous effort to rid the case of W. G. Brown, a civil engineer, on the ground that he is biased, and therefore not properly quail fled to act as a juror. Judge Gantenbein declined to excused him, however, so the state may exercise a -peremptory in his case this morning. Brown said he took a trip to California with Morris for a week and in that way became acquainted With him. Later he opened an account with the bank, he said, and put up col lateral for Morris, as a favor, in 1906. Brown admitted it would be hard for him to find a verdict against his friend, but Bald he would do what was just. He wouldn't like to see any of his friends end acquaintances sent to the peniten tiary, he said, and when the evidence was presented would look at it carefully to pee if there was anything in his friend's ifavor. Attorneys Pass Pleasantries. C. L. Mead, manager of the Capewell Horse Nail . Company, said while being examined he thought, it all right if the officers of the Oregon Trust Bank could 'skin the public." He would not hold Morris to blame, he said. If he acted on the orders of other directors. Attorney Fouts asked him if he did not know the Orogon Trust Bank did not "skin the public." He answered he "imagined some body was stung." Deputy Fitzgerald de manded why Attorney Fouts didn't ask Mead about the worthless telephone bonds, and Judge Gantenbein told the Jury to disregard the remarks of the at torneys. J. Vldgoff, proprietor of a herbdasher'a Store, was excus?d because he Is not a citizen. C. F. Wagener, of the Pacific laundry Company, was also excused on similar grounds, having taken out only his first citizenship papers. W. A. Gove, a cabinetmaker, was discharged for the term because he is deaf. S. Heitshu had formed an opinion and was excused. Henry Garside, the first man drawn, was likewise excused for cause. H. E. Abry, of 866 Clinton street, em ployed on the Pacific Railway & Naviga tion Company's road, said he had talked with E. E. Lytle about Morris' connection with the bank and was excused for cause by the judge, over objection of the state. Personnel of Jury. The Jury as it now stands is as follows: D. A. Jensen, ship carpenter, 559 Union avenue, no family: E. Shadle. harness maker. 995 Third street, family; C. L. Mead, manager Capewell Horse Nail Com pany. 714 Tillamook street; R. Stopper, proprietor shoe repair shop on Yamhill ptreet, 155 Shaver street: AV. H. Golding, Healer in fuel and building materials, 603 Spokane avenue; v. S. Walling. 423 Sal mon street: II. M. Barton, plasterer: A. C. Martin. F. E. Southard, bookkeeper P. pharkey & Son: W. G. Brown. During the examination by the defense Golding said he had a fixed opinion and was at first challenged by the defense. This was later withdrawn and he was al lowed to remain. DEMURRER IN" MERRILL, CASE Attorneys Would Quash Indictment Against Roadhouse Man. In an effort to quash the indict ments charging Fred Merrill, of the Twelve-Mile House; George Stewart and Fred Horn with having sold liquor illegally. Attorneys John F. Logan and John H. Stevenson Interposed demur rers, in the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon, to all five charges. The demurrer to the Indictment charging the selling of whisky to Wal ter A. Kinney, a minor, says the in dictment does not say how much whisky was sold. This is also the erround on which an effort is made to quash the indictment against the three for selling liquor to Virginia Ellers. a minor. The point is also made that nothing appears In the Indictment to show that she was not over 18 years of age and a married woman when the liquor was sold to her. As to sell ing liquor without a county license, it is alleged that the room used in con nection with the saloon was a public restaurant and dining-room without a bar, and that therefore the facts stated in the Indictment are not sufficient to constitute a crime. CULPRIT'S MOTHER FAINTS Juvenile Court Sentences Three Boys for Stealing Bicycles. Mrs. Lester Plingle fainted in the Ju venile Court yesterday afternoon when her 14-year-old son. Earl Pringle, was sentenced with two other lads of about the same age to the Reform School for bicycle stealing. The other boys were Ellis Finley and Walter Brooks. Juve nile Judge Bronaugh suspended sentence during good behavior, and sent the ,lads to the Detention Home, the parent to pay $8 a month each for their mainte nance. This is the second time the trio has been in the Juvenile Court. -The first time their cases did not reach the Judge, being headed off by Chief Probation Offi cer Teuscher, who warned the lads and released them. That time they were brought in for stealing gunny sacks and selling them. They were caught by Dep uty Sheriff' Rayburn. After the gunny sack episode com plaints of bicycle thefts became frequent, and Policeman Roberts began an inves tigation. Five wheels were reported missing, as well as the rims and tires of another. These had been shipped by mail from the East. They were taken from outside the postofnee, it Is said, by the lads. One of the. wheels was stolen from a shed by the trio, who pried off the staple with an old file. At another time the boys passed a house, two on wheels and the third walking. The third sprang on a wheel which stood against the fence, and all three rode off. The boys are said to have taken the wheels to an old house, where they exchanged the parts to escape detection. Two of the five wheels are still missing. HINDU RIOT CASES SET IX JUNE Several Plead Xot Guilty to Charges of Causing Trouble.

Among them was Ray Van de Bogard, said to have broken into a Hindu house with an ax, and John N. Groves. John H. Stevenson, appearing for Groves, asked that his bail be fixed at $250. Judge Morrow declined to make it less than J500. Attorney Stevenson declared he could bring a half dozen witnesses to swear that Groves worked all night at the St. Johns mill March 21, the night of the riot. Milton Un ger, son of a prominent St. Johns store keeper, also pleaded not guilty. At the request of their attorney, A. E. Clark, G. W. Dunbar, night chief of police at St. Johns; Dan Herrold and G. W. Eithridge, a policeman, were given until Saturday to plead.

LIABILITY L WRANGLE ACUTE Employers' Association and State Labor Federation Arrayed for Battle. SOME BITTERNESS SHOWN N'o Compromise Possible, as Leaders of Workinmen Say They. Will Not Entertain Bill Pro . posed by Employers. The controversy affecting 'Oregon's law on the liability of employers grows more acute each day. On the one side is ar rayed the Oregon Employers' Association and on the other the Oregon State Federa tion of Labor. Between the two the is sues are clearly drawn and there exists a bitterness, at least on the side of labor, not evidenced in respect - to any other measures proposed through invo cation of the initiative in the approaching Fall election. At the headquarters of both organiza tions scarcely little else is discussed, since the practical , elimination of im pending Industrial troubles is assured. The employers' liability law, as proposed by the State Federation of Labor, is the principal topic of conversation between the two forces. Hundreds of pamphlets are being sent out each day by J. C. Cassidy, secretary of the labor organization, bearing on the subject. AH labor publications' in the state feature the matter in every Issue. The point has passed when there can be any compromise and the sole result now can only.be a fight to the finish. Employers, Too, Are Busy. The Oregon Employers' Association is equally busy. At a meeting yesterday of the committee having the campaign in charge the question was discussed Infor mally, though nothing definite has been done. As yet the employers are at sea in their opposition to the measure pro posed by the State Federation of Labor, though a determination has been voiced repeatedly by resolution and the indi vidual expressions of leaders of the asso ciation. The personnel of the employers' campaign committee is as follows: W. B. Ayer, Joseph Ganong, Samuel Morrow, George C. Mason and C. W. Hodson. The committee at Its first meeting elected Mr. Morrow chairman. One of the important actions was the appointment of W. R. Williams, business manager of the Spectator Publishing Company, secretary. Mr. Williams will have active charge of the campaign and will give especial attention to the pub licity end of it. It was stated by a member of the com mittee last night that so far as its plans are concerned all at present is chaos. In dividually, the members have some plans, and President Banfleld has expressed the general idea of what will be attempted. This is that a law be framed, which shall be fair to all parties concerned, and which shall elinimate the bad features of the present employers' liability law and act as a substitute for that proposed by the labor organizations. Labor Leaders Show Bitterness. Labor leaders already have said they would 'not accept any law proposed by the employers. This in Itself is an evi dence of the bitterness already shown in the fight. "We remember the scanty treatment we received at the last Legislature, when we begged to be given Just 'anything, ' they said. "Now, the matter is in our own hands and we do not propose to give or ask quarter. They can have some of their own medicine." The bad features of the present law are an admitted statement of facts in the controversy. Both sides declare it is bad and each says a new one should be adopted. The difference of opinion is as to the features of the substitute law. Under the present law, employers are in sured against damages by the injury of an employe through the underwriting of casualty companies of the East. These companies receive about $169,000 each year from the employers. Of that amount abont 50 per cent comes back to the state, and of this the greater portion goes for agents' commissions, attorney's fees and court costs in fighting the cases, ambu lance and hospital expenses and the like, leaving the injured man less than TV4 per cent of the total amount paid out for his protection. Though nothing tentative has been agreed upon, It is thought a law can be framed whereby the state can handle the matter. This, however, has just been suggested. Thorough Study to Be Made. Before attempting to place anything de finite before the public, it is proposed by the campaign committee of the employ ers' association to study the subject thoroughly. In almost every state in the union and several foreign countries the same question is being agitated just now. and by studying the various laws pro posed by each side, it is the plan of the committee to strike what has been termed "the happy medium." "We are not going after everything for ourselves," said a member of the com mittee last night- "We today decided to withhold any tentative action until we can study this question thoroughly. When we do present a law for adoption, we want it to be so fair and impartial to all parties concerned that it will be safe of adoption. That is our position and the very fact, to my mind, that. we must go before the people with it is an as surance in itself that we will not attempt to have -a law enacted which shall not conserve all rights equally." In the event of the adoption of the law proposed by the labor exponents, say the employers, it will mean the almost com plete demoralization of the state's in dustrial life. This law has been critically examined by the employers, and the fact that there . are provisions in it inimical to industrial operatons in Oregon has led to the decision to make a strong cam paign against it. On the other hand, the labor people are just as anxious for Its adoption. From present Indications the fight on this measure will overshadow all others, not excepting the state-wide pro hibition fight. Proposed Law Favors Labor. The liability law proposed is said to be one of the strongest in favor of labor on record. It covers every branch of in dustrial operations, and among other things provides that the contributory neg ligence of the person Injured shall not be a defense In a damage action, but adds that It may be taken Into account by the jury fixing the amount of damage. The negligence or incompetency of a fellow servant, it also provides, shall likewise not be a defense for the employer, nam ing specific Instances where this shall obtain. These Instances, say the em ployers, include every possibility of in jury in which a fellow servant could be concerned. The law in the first place sets forth compulsory precautions against injuries, the violation of any of which may result in criminal prosecution of the employer. And though he is prosecuted under the criminal code, says the proposed statute, that shall not be taken into account in a civil action to recover damages in case there is an accident to an employe. All temporary structures, the bill says, must be carefully inspected before men are placed at work on them, and all scaffolding must be capable of sustaining four times the amount of weight intended to be placed on them in practical opera tions. As a further means of strengthen ing this part of the law, it is added: All owners, contractors or sub-contractors and other persons having oharg-e of, or re sponsible for, any work involving a risk or danger to the employes or the pu-blic, shall use every device, care and precaution which it is practicable to use for the protection and safety of life and limb, limited only by the necessity for preserving the efficiency of the structure, machine or other apparatus or device, and without regard to the addi tional cost of suitable material or safety ap pliances and devices.

"POWER HOUSE" AT WORK Rev. Herbert C. Hart Would Xot Swear In Fulpit; Believes Gos- pel Truths Can Be Used for Salvation of Men. The old-time religion, the plain gospel that makes character and creates a thirst for the salvation of the whole world, was the keynote of an address yesterday after noon in the Hawthorne Park Tabernacle by Rev. Herbert C. Hart, evangelist, to an audience of several hundreds. He calls the afternoon meetings the power-house of the revivals which he ex pects will follow, and his time Is now be ing devoted to enthusing the ministers and laymen both in the afternoon and evening meetings. The afternoon serv ices are devoted to exposition of the Bible as applied to the church. Rev. Mr. Hart takes the whole congregation into his ad dress and says that he expects every one to take part, to have a Bible and mark the passages on which he comments. In the midst of his sermon he will stop and put a question direct to the congre gation. The evangelist yesterday after noon made running comments on the New Testament, setting forth the ministry of Jesus Christ, whom he declared had 30 years of preparation for three years of actual work. Preparation Is Needed, "The ax was laid not at the branches," he said, "but at the roots of the trees. Lopping off the branches does no good. It makes the tree thrive. To kill the tree the ax must go to the roots. So it is the character, not the conduct, that is impor tant. "Preparatory to the revival there is need to get clean. You must go at the root of the evil, and not at the branches. There must be ' equipment for larger service for Christ. The Becret of power is in the Holy Ghost. The preacher who is filled with the Holy Ghost will soon get his church right. You need the power to get your mouths open to give testimony. The Bible is clear, and not all mixed up, as Ingersoll declared it to be. "Water and fire, which are men tioned, are symbolic. If we can get 500 feel bright and ambitious a part of the day; and then listless and dull. Most of these people are coffee-drinkers. They cannot account for their whimsical moods and don't realize they are doing anything to cause them. But take a look at the case in the light of science as applied to physiology. Ever study the way coffee acts on the brain and nervous. system? "Caffeine," says a scientist, "is a drug found in coffee and tea and is classed among the habit-forming drugs, like whisky, morphine, cocaine, etc. "It acts as a so-called heart stimulant first but the reaction later shows that it is in reality a paralyzant weakens the nerves and partially paralyzes them. "Caffeine causes a short period of excitementof the nervous 'system a delusory effect. - "But this is followed by the inevitable depression of spirits, dullness of intellect and sometimes dizziness.' That's what coffee does, in part. On the other hand, thousands of people have learned to distrust coffee and have found in well-made POSTUM a beverage which tastes similar to coffee but has none of the harmful effects of coffee. If you would feel clear-headed and well all the time, drop coffee and begin using POSTUM. But be sure you read directions on pkg. POSTTJM must be made right (well boiled) to bring out the real food value. Thousands of people have found it. You can do the same and it is -quite a pleasant dis covery that - ' i" "There's a Reason" for POSTUM Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in packages. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. people all on fire, we shall have a great revival here. "This is a great day of skepticism in the -church. Some preachers even deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and say he was a great and good man only. If that is true, I say with reverence then that Jesus (jhrist was a fraud, the greatest im postor who wa9 ever upon the earth. Good, they say, but not divine. Then break away from all Christianity and sweep away all Christian doctrine. Christ's Divinity Essential. "There is nothing left of the Christian religion if you take the divinity of Christ out of it, and yet some ministers, 'off their blocks,' say Christ was only a good man. If I heard a minister say that there would be something doing in his church. All Christianity depends on the divinity of Christ, who made 30 years of preparation for three years of work." . Rev. Mr. Hart said that he did not come to swear in the pulpit and use sen sationalism In order to attract the people, but to present the gospel truths in such a way as to stir up men and women and set them on fire for the salvation of men. Until the church was prepared in this way, he said, the revival would not come. An increased audience was present in the evening. The music by the great choir, which has been assombled from the 30 churches united In the meetings, under the charge of Rev. Mr. Magann. is worth hearing. It is not yet thoroughly organized, but is increased at every meeting. Rev. Mr. Magann is recovering and will be able to sing solos at the even- ing meetings. The tabernacle Is kept Jry and comfortable. Rev. Mr. Hart will hold an important service this afternoon at Z o'clock. OREGON TO A1D CONGRESS Support to Be Given. Dry Farming Convention, in Spokane. The Dry Farming Congress to be fceld in Spokane October 4, 6 and 8 of this year, being its fifth annual session, will have the support of Oregon as to at tendance, contributions to the exposi tion incident to it and financial aid. A letter received from the Spokane arrangement committee was read at yesterday's monthly meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and by resolu tion it was directed that an effort be made to arouse interest in the event all over the state. Of late years this method of farming has come into popular practice in some parts of Oregon, where it is successful. Near The Dalles last year some of the best fruit grown in the state was pro duced through this method, scientific ally administered. That its popularity is only just commencing, is the belief of Its chief exponents. At the sessions of the Congress. x .perts will lecture on the subject and practical demonstrations will be made. The event is international in its char acter and representatives of some for eign countries are expected to attend. 12 HOURS TO SPOKANE 'A good night's rest or a pleasant day trip is insured by the fast time, perfect track and latest pattern oil' equipment of the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Ry.
