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."

Hundreds of Stragglers Send in Re

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.
George Burke, convicted recently of
having stolen several motors and" relays
from the O. R. & N. Company, has been

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.

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.

the University of Oregon track team
will arrive in Portland tonight on the

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. The absence
of Oliver Huston in the hundred-yard
dash is a great loss, for he was always
a sure point winner. ICay, a youngster
from Salem, is running nicely, however,
and may capture that event.
The university boys will return from
Seattle Sunday and will leave immedi

at Berkeley. With Trainer Hayward
and Manager Espey will be the follow
