THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX, THURSDAY, MAT 5, 19JLO. HEINZE IN POOL Government Seeks to Prove His Connection. MYSTERIOUS LOAN MADE Clerk "Who Borrowed $600,000 Prom Mercantile Bank Admits That He Turned Proceeds Over to Firm Without Question. NEW YORK, May 4. Judge Hough today again criticized the Govern ment's method of presenting Its case against F. Augustus Heinze, who- la charged with misapplication of funds of the Mercantile National Bank and with over-certification of the checks of Otto Heinze & Co.. his brother's firm. A protest was made by Heinze's at torneys when District Attorney Wise attempted to question a witness con cerning the value of United Copper stook in which the Heinze firm was Interested. Judge Hough . then inter rupted the proceedings to say t.hat the court doubted whether the Indictment, charging misapplication, warranted such questioning. He submitted many objections of Heinze's counsel. Clerk Gets $600,000 Loan. Despite rebuffs, however, Mr. Wise continued to hammer away. He suc ceeded in drawing the adamission from (Max H. Schultze, a member of the Heinze firm, that there was a syndi cate In United Copper stock in 1907, and some light also was thrown on a loan of $600,000 made by the Mercan tile National on August 5. 1907, to Frederick Eckstein, an employe of the United Copper Company. Eckstein tes tified that he had no hand in the loan, knew nothing about It before it was made and turned the entire $600,000 over tfo the account of Schultze, who acted as trustee In certain copper stock transactions. It has been the contention of the prose cution that the defendant was Interested in a United Copper pool in 1907 and that the Mercantile'B funds were used to fur ther the pool's interests. Another Brother Involved. The Government will attempt to con nect Heinze with the syndicate that Schultze said existed in 1907, and to show that this so-called pool continued until October 14, 1907. By Eckstein Mr. Wise tried to show that Arthur P. Heinze, another brother of the defendant was Interested in the pool of 1907. Eckstein said he received checks from 1 Arthur Heinze which he supposed went "to something like that," but he did not think it was a pool. "Didn't you contribute $3000 to a pool In United Copper in the Summer of 1907, of which Arthur Heinze was a member?" asked Mr. Wise. "Mr. Heinze asked me for $3000, saying he'd make money for me," replied Eck stein, "and I gave It to him." CORDIAL WELCOME GIVEN Pendleton Business Men Highly Pleased With Junket. PENDLETON, Or..

Hundreds of Oregon corporations may be subject to the penalty provisions of the income-tax laws, in the opinion of David M. Dunne, collector of Internal revenue for the Port of Portland. Since the period for filing statements of earnings for the preceding year expired on March 31. the local collector has been receiving straggling reports and forward. Ing them to Washington without recom mendation or comment. What will be done with the belated ef forts to comply with the law Is proble matical, none of them having been re fused by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue to date. About 350 reports were received and forwarded during April, and 6 additional reports awaited mailing last night. When asked about suits against Oregon corporations District Attorney McCourt said N "It is probable that a great many cor porations are delinquent under the in come tax law, and it is very likely that some suits may be commenced here, but up to this time I have heard nothing about them. The cases will reach this office from the hands of Collector Dunne, who will receive them from Washington. 'I understand that there is a test case now pending in the United States Su preme Court, involving the validity of the income-tax law, and that It is soon to be argued. It was brought by a stockholder of an Illinois corporation and enjoined the officers of that company from complying with the law. Perhaps nothing will be done at Washington about penalizing those concerns which failed to report un til the test case is disposed of. I do not know definitely what Is contemplated." It was reported yesterday that Internal Revenue officers are very confident of winning the test case In the Supreme Court and that preparations are being made to bring suits immediately. MAN'S CLOTHES EXPLODE Spark Brings Death, to Employe of Nitroglycerine Factory. . Lighting his pipe and having sparks touch his clothes, with the result that a terrific explosion followed, is the way in which a British Columbia pow der worker met death a short time ago, according to E. C. Byford, Government powder inspector for Canada and the United States, who was at the Cornelius Hotel yesterday. "I was called to one of the powder works not far from Vancouver, B. C a few weeks ago," said Mr. Byford yes terday, "to investigate the death of an employe. I learned that he was a man who had had charge of nitroglycerine, and, through his constant handling of high explosive, his clothes had been virtually saturated. One afternoon, while wearing his working clothes. which he had neglected to have cleaned. he lighted his pipe, striking the match on his trousers. Whether this caused the explosion or whether sparks from the bowl of his pipe fell on his clothes will never be known. At any rate, tne man was blown to atoms. "It was one of the strangest cases I have met In my experience as a powder inspector. I also investigated the death of a man In Montana some time ago who was killed in a somewhat similar manner. He had filtered some nitroglycerine through an old felt hat. afterwards throwing the hat upon a shelf to dry. Several months later he picked up the hat, and. finding It was covered with dust, slammed It down on a bench. What was found of him was burled the next day." George Burke Sentenced.

SEVENTH TO BE WIDENED Other Improvements Also Pending in North End District. The North End district will be trans formed within a short time, if pending improvements are made. Councilman Dunning has secured the adoption of a resolution widening Seventh from Burn side to Hoyt streets, and Fourth street from JBurnslde to Gllsan Is to be paved with Belgian blocks at once. Third street Is already hard-surfaced to Glisan, and with these two new Im provements it is believed a general clean ing up will result and that many new buildings will rise to take the place of the frame shacks that have long marked the district. It is expected Seventh street will become one of the main arteries. since the Broadway bridge will have its western terminus at Seventh and Hoyt streets, and it Is believed there will be little, if any, opposition to widening the thoroughfare from 60 to 80 feet. Efforts have been made for many months to pave Fourth, from Burnside to Gllsan, with stone blocks, but not until recently has the city been able to secure a reasonable bid for the work. City Engineer Morris now says a quarry has been located where it will be pos sible for him to get all of the blocks he wishes, and It is said that he will soon commence this Important work. if YOUNG EDITORS DO WELL May Number of Washington High School Paper Is Out. The May number of the Lens, issued by 90 pupils of the Washington High School, contains several excellent articles, that by Dorothy . Cleaveland on 'Things Not Always What They Seem," perhaps being the most unique. Miss Cleaveland has a facility of expression that makes her narration of a most awe-inspiring dream very readable. Inez Soltra's poetical offering. "The Newsboy," is well up to standard. The Idea of localizing the verse to the Port land news "kiddies" makes it very ac ceptable. There are several excellent cartoons, those depicting " the first days of the baseball season being probably most welcome to the school. An editorial offering . "Jest Flggers." is designed to point out the cost of producing the lens, which the editor mentions is over 16 cents a copy. The paper brings 7 cents a copy by subscription. The editorial is also a plea -for advertisements. LECTURES HELP. PUPILS Street Railway Men Tell How to Prevent Accidents.

In charge of Trainer "Bill" Hayward, the University of Oregon track team will arrive in Portland tonight on the way to Seattle, where It will compete with the University of Washington and the University of Idaho track teams in the annual triangular track and field meet on DennyField. Oregon has won this meet every year by a majority of points, but expects a closer race this year on account of the inexperience of the men.
