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

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.

is alleged to have taken place April 20.
Wilson alleges he was so badly bruised he

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.

WHOLE BIBLE TEXT
Evangelist Devotes Meeting to
Enthusing Ministers.
"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"

POSTUM

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.
