BANKER GETS STAY
Of WRIT OF ERROR
United States Supreme Court
Grants Respite to J.
Thorburn Ross.
JUSTICE M'KENNA ACTS
Kcw York Attorney Appears for
Convicted Man, and Will Argue
That Oregon Court Deci
sion Is Ex Post Facto.
OR EGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, May 4 Justice McKenna, of
the United States Supreme Court, as
signed to the Ninth Circuit, today
granted the petition of J. Thorburn
Ross for a writ of error, -which in ef
fect permits Ross to bring- his case to
the United States Supreme Court for a
rehearing.
In granting this writ the merits of
the case are not passed upon in any
way, but after reading Ross' petition
Justice McKenna was satisfied there
was at least reasonable doubt about a
constitutional question being involved,
and on that ground directed issuance
of the writ.
Ross must deposit a bond to cover
the costs before the writ will finally
be issued. This may be "done within
a few days. Ross is now in Norfolk,
Va., but is expected to return to Wash
ington in a day or two. Ross is rep
resented by W. D. Guthrie, a famous
constitutional lawyer of New York,
who drafted the petition which was
submitted to Justice McKenna.
It Is understood Ross' appeal, when
docketed, will not be reached until the
next term of court.
v
SALEM, Or.. May 4. W. P. Lord, of
this city, one of the counsel for J.
Thorburn Ross, has received a tele
gram from the East stating that a
writ of error has been granted by the
United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Lord said:
"The usual procedure to obtain a writ
of error is to present the petition for
a writ through the Chief Justices of
the Supreme Court of the state, but in
this case application was made directly
to one of the Justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States. The peti
tion for the writ was presented to
Justice McKenna about 10 days ago,
and it was acted upon this morning by
allowance of the writ. The ground for
the writ is that Ross contended in the
Supreme Court of Oregon that the over
ruling of a previous decision by the
Circuit Court, in Baker vs. Williams, In
the 42d Oregon, which held that a de
posit of educational funds was a gen
eral deposit, and the holding bj the
Circuit Court, in Baker vs. Williams, in
special, was ex-post facto, depriving
lines of his liberty without due process
of law. There are also other grounds,
such as the repeal of the information
system without a saving clause for
pending crimes, but this is only inci
dental and is not relied upon as the
main ground of reversal.
"The case is now in the United States
Supremo Court square on its' merits, and
will be taken up in its regular order of
niBument. The contentions there will be
no different than in the Supreme Court
of Oregon." ....
1-JAI1LY DECISION' NOT LIKELY
l!os Appeal May Be Months Before
Supreme Court.
The Ross caso has been pending in
the courts since his sentence in October,
luon. The outlook is it will be many
months before his case comes to hearing
in the United States Supreme Court, for
that tribunal is about to adjourn for the
Summer vacation, and will not again
tnko up business until October. Besides
this the docket is said to be congested
and the Ross case mut await its turn.
Ross, who was president of the now
defunct Title Guarantee & Trust Com
pany. was convicted on a charge of con
verting public money to his own use.
Mate school funds having been deposited
in his bank, lie was sentenced to serve
five years in the penitentiary, and to
iuv a fine of $576,000 or serve out the
fine at the rate of $2 a day in the Mult
nomah County Jail. This would have
amounted to 700 years. -
Upon appeal, the Stale Supreme Court
held tho fine to be excessive and it was
remitted.
The point was made before the State
Supreme Ciiurt that Ross could not be
legally tried upon an information filed
by the restrict. Attorney, when the Leg
islature changed the law between the
lime tho information was filed and the
lime of the trial, making it the business
of the grand Jury instead of the Dis
trlct Attorney to return Indictments.
Kut Wallace McCamant, who appeared
wirli ex-Governor W. P. Lord as Ross'
attorney, said yesterday this is not the
chief point relied upon by the defense
in the Supreme Court. It is Attorney
Guthrie's contention, he declared, that
i;n..s has been made the victim of ex
post, facto legislation.
"It is tho contention of Attorney
Guthrie." said Mr. McCamant, "that the
State Treasurer had a right to deposit
the school funds in a bank for safe keep
liiir. He contends that the State Supreme
Court In the Ross case overruled the de
clsioii of the Supreme Court in the case
of tinker vs. the Williams & England
Banking Company. '
Three other charges still stand strains
Ross in the Circuit Court. He is charged
with having loaned a part of the state
school fund to M. B. Rankin and to have
refused to pay it back to the State
Ti-eaeurer on demand.
Ross is now in Washington, havln
been in the East since March 1.
marks- or to quote what may have been
a mis-statement, but 1 heard, or saw, a
criticism of one appointment, on the
ground, as I understood it, that the ap
pointee was not an implacable foe of
wealth and corporations. I think per
haps that criticism has been misunder
stood and that its author did not intend
to give the meaning it seems to have. -I
believe all Democrats and Republicans,
regulars and insurgents, who are pa
triotic citizens and we ell are that favor
having upon the bench men who are foes
of nothing but what is wrong and favor
equal justice to everyone, whether an or
ganization of men doing business under
the law as a corporation to promote the
industries of the country or the humblest
citizen struggling with his hands to earn
a livelihood for his family.
"I do not mean to say men by their
habits of life may not acquire a preju
dice in one direction or another, and that
it is not wise to select for the highest
tribunal men who have no such bent,
but I do mean to say there is. In the
public journals and in what I may call
the cant of the demagogues, a disposi
tion to charge that kind of a bent In
favor of corporate wealth and corporate
greed and corporate monopoly when such
charge is unjust.
"This assumption of peculiar honesty,
manifested by class declaration and the
tirring up of class spirit ought to be
deprecated In our republic or it will lead
to great danger. We ought to take up
the discussion of public questions and
their effect, with judicial calmness- and
not be affected by charges of prejudice
and corrupt motives I say charges ut
terly unsupported by evidence or calm
consideration.
Court Delays Criticised.
"Now, all I appeal foris Justice and
square deal ot especially for myself.
for Indeed I am in a position where I can.
get along better without It than some
of the rest, but I am appealing for Jus
tice In dealing with, all classes.
I said all classes'. Of course, practi-
ally, It is pretty hard to give. To our
socialistic friends who decry our present
institutions, I could furnish & good deal
better ground for complaint than they
themselves give.
I have talked about this before, and
t is no new theme with me. I think, if
they were to object to our administration
of Justice and its delays, arising from the
traditional methods of courts, by- which
the man with the longest purse has the
advantage, they would be getting, as the
children say, 'pretty warm' toward a
subject that wllf bear full discussion and
pon which we must have very decided
reform.
We must arrange it so cases are de-
ided more promptly. I sav that the
United States courts are not models in
this regard, but all courts may be re
formed in this regard. What Is driving
you merchants out of courts into arbi
trations? It is the cost of litigation. We
ought to have courts disposing of business
promptly and end litigation, and I speak
as a lawyer and judge, and, therefore, I
speak with confidence, because I know
what I am talking about. I feel much
more at home on this subject than I do
in discussing agricultural subjects with
farmers."
night to Withdraw Sought.
Addressing a Joint meeting of the
farmers' Union and the people
oi bt. Louis today, President Taft
devoted himself to a technical discussion
on the subject of conservation. He de
clared the term covers a wide ranite of
subjects.
IBut as concerns Congress at this time."
lie added, "conservation resolves itself
nto the necessity of cassinsr at once the
bill which will give to the Executive un
questioned authority to withdraw lands
for power sites and other purposes. With
tnis power In the hands of the United
States we can sit comfortably by and dis
cuss ana devise the beet means of dis
posing of the great public domain to the
benefit of present and future genera
tions. " . i
Speaking of the conservation of the
water supply and the improvement of
rivers and harbors. President Taft stated
anew his position that projects provided
for In the harbor bill - must prove the
feasibility and practicability. His state
nent in this respect was especially in
teresttng In view of the recent reports
that lie contemplates a veto of the bill
that is to pass the present Congress.
Any waterway improvement which is
found worthy," said the- President
'should be put through as economically
and quickly as possible. But a water
way bill ought not to constitute a pork
barrel, or be passed for the purpose of
sending somebody back to Congress
it should be devoted to putting
through great enterprises, to making the
waterways useful and effective in reduc
ing rates of transportation."

about the tariff.
"In my opinion greater progress had

Mr. Carnegie highly complimented Presi.

Mr. Carnegie said:
