f Howard A. Guilford was arrested by
(Detectives Craddock and Mallett at Third
fend Jefferson streets at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, and later confessed that
pe attempted to bribe M. Barton, one of
(the Jurors In the W. Cooper Morris em
bezzlement case. He was booked at the
police station at 1:30 o'clock yesterday
tafternoan, charged with attempting to
rlbe a Jury.
Guilford's confession Implicates At
torneys Seneca. Fouts and Alex Sweek,
unA mentions Attorney Shelton. Attor
neys Eweek and Fouta have represented
Jklorrls at the trial.
The detectives and members of Dls
ftxlct Attorney Cameron's office are still
working upon the case, and expect to
unearth evidence of a carefully laid plan
fcfor wholesale bribery in the Oregon Trust
kfc Savings Bank case. District Attorney
Cameron said last night that he was
convinced the W. H. Moore Jury was
"fixed."
"If It hadn't been that Juror Bar
lion was honest." he said, "we should
pave had the Moore case over again. If
plot an acQulttal, we should have had
ja "hung" Jury."
AYlio Was to Fornisb. Money?
VTio was to advance the S1600, of which
i&OoO was to go to Juror Barton? Is the
"question which the District Attorney's
office and the detectives are trying to
solve. They are also said to be ferreting
kiu evidence, regarding other attempts at
(bribery.
As soon as Attorneys Fouts, Sweek and
SM. J. Gordon learned of Guilford's arrest
kbejr hastened to Judge Ganrenbeln's of
fflce at the Courthouse and Implored him
jto have the matter taken up by a com
tmlttee of , the bar, appointed by the
Judge. ' The Judge answered that he con
sidered It a matter for grand Jury inves
rtigatlon. Boon afterward Attorney Fouts
was seen In tears In the Courthouse cor
ridor. The Multnomah Bar Association, at its
(meeting in Department No. 1 at the
Courthouse last night appointed a com
knlttee of five to Investigate the matter.
M. J. Gordon told Judge G-antenbein at
he conference yesterday afternoon that
Be did not consider the grand Jury the
proper place for the examination of a
charge that affects an attorney's profes
sional Integrity. Tha Judge replied that
ho had known of the attempted bribery
for two days.
Gordon Answers. .
' "Yes, If Tour Honor please," answered
IMr. Gordon, "and v.e have, too, and it
has been painful, and that is one of the
treasons at seasonable times we have
tasked that the Jury should be protected
ffrom newspaper Influences."
The Judge said he would do whatever
She could toward ordering an Investiga
tion, but was not decided as to what
method should be employed. Mr. Gor
Hon said that an affidavit would be
pled today- Ha said: "Interested par
ties have made an unwarranted assault
jupon the professional integrity of these
(gentlemen, and I think, if your honor
please, and I say it knowing full well
what I do, and I am responsible for all
( say to this court, for whom I enter
tain the highest possible regard, that
?t Is a most damnable attempt to Inter
fere with the sacred rights of the de
fendant in the Morris case, and that it
;waa not born in the brain of the news
paper man. It is part of a studied ef
fort, and before It is through, it may
Involve more than appears on the sur
face of It. I think I have said more, per
paps, than I should have said."
IVruts Talks to Court,
Mr. Fouts said: "There has been a
tfreat deal of bitterness between the
(District Attorneys office of this town
land myself. I have no regard for them
tat all, and they know it, and have
fttnown It for a number of years, or since
Ithey went into office, and I desire an In
vestigation by members of the bar ap
pointed by yourself."
I Judge Gantenbein did not decide the
ritter.
It was last Tuesday night that
pBullford. is said to have gone to Bar
Ron's name at 144 Alberta street. Wood-
pawn, and offered to pay him 1000 If
B3s would vote so as to cause a dls
iagreement of the Morris Jury.
After Gulllford. whose name Barton
pld not then know, had left. Barton
inastened to twon. informed the Dis
trict Attorney's office of what had
j-ansplred, and asked one of the dep
uties to call up Judge Gantenbein.
This was done, ana the Judge took the
oDrst car to town, meeting Barton and
IDeputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
Wt the Police Station.
Appointment Made.
Barton had made an appointment
JfO meet Gull ford the next morning at
iSocond and. 'Washington streets. Judge
3aatenbeln told Barton In the pres
ence of Detective Craddock and Dep
fcitx District Attorney Fitagerald, to
Dteep his appointment, and on succeed
ing occasions make appointments at
touch places as would enable the detec
tives to sea what transpired, and, if
possible, hear the conversation. Barton
jjtberafore made the appointment for
inoon yesterday at Sixth and Fladers
treet. Under Instructions of the
fcconrt, he then handed Bailiff Courtney
slip of paper containing the place of
(meeting ad the time, which was. In
jturn. give nto Detective Craddock.
Bssrton and Guilford went to a s&.
loon, when they met Wednesday noon,
Craddock standing near enough to
overhear tne entire conversation, un
Jxnown to Peril ford.
Advance Payment Promised.
Barton toad bean Instructed to Induce
.Outlford to advance, half the bribe
.money. J500, as an evidence of good
rfalth. This was- to have been done
Wednesday nlg-ht If the case went tv
the Jury at that time, as was expecteu.
jOullford was to place the (500 in a
("basket of fruit which he expected
rtvould be passed in to Barton by Bar
hton's wife. Judge Gantebeln declared
past night that even had the bribing
lot been unknown, the apples would
not have reached Barton until the case
,1V as finished.
If the- case did not go to the Jury
"Wednesday night, Guilford was to
J9aand over the money at Barton's house.
tt H o'clock Wednesday night. This
is failed to do. but telephoned to Bar
ton yesterday morning that the rea-
joa -he didn't was because a newspaper
article about Jury tampering had been
prlntd, which made It necessary to
change his plans, and that he intended
to leave town at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning for fear of arrest. This fact
was Immediately communicated by
Barton to Detective Craddock, with the
result that Guilford's arrest took place
yesterday morning.
Isolation, of Jury Asked.
During the trial of the Morris case.
Deputy Fitzgerald was the first to ask
that the Jury be locked up nights and
refused communication with anyone.
Judge Gantenbein thought this would be
a reflection upon the Integrity of the
Jurors, and would be also unjust as some
of them had been subjenaed the same
morning, and had had no time to arrange
their business affairs. But the fact that
a request had been made, was published
by The Oregonlan, with the result that
J. Gordon, repreesntlng Morris, told
Judge Gantenbein he did not wish the
Jurors to understand that the defense
asked that they be locked up. But in
a few minutes, he told the Judge that he
considered the request to lock up the
Jury a reasonable one, and would Join in
It, and ask that the judge say to the jury
that both the state and the defense had
asked that they be locked up at night.
A few minutes later, he added that as
the state had not insists dupon It. he
wouldn't urge it. Another request that
the jury be kept together was made
"Wednesday morning by Attorney Alex
Sweek.
Guilford's statement to a deputy dis
trict attorney In the presence of Captain
of Police Baty and A. M. Butler Is as
follows:
I came to Portland rm the 1st of Feb
ruary. I -was some two or three weeks
nnaing a position and. then 1 st&rten to
work for ParorofC's Secret Service Agency.
1 worked there ten davi. Dosslblv two -weeks.
and left tnene on account of the 20-hour a
day work and the uncertainty of setting
znr pay. After leaving there I started to
work for an attorney In the Fenton build
ing by the name of Fisher, of the firm of
Anpel & Fisher, at hu Portland Heights
home, clearing a road and putting it into
cord wood, through two or three acres of
land there.
When I left there, I started to work for
Collier's Weekly, on a commission basis.
supposedly salary when X started, but after
working awhile Z found It was commission,
and I could not make enough there to par
expenses, so I quit again, and started In last
week with the Dewdrop Confection Company.
taking charge of tne manufacture, sale ana
delivery of their Ice-cream product.
Head About Trial.
While employed by Coiner's Weekly, I read
In the papers accounts of the W. Cooper
Morris trial, and conceived the Idea of ap
proaching the attorneys for the defense as
regards "hanging" the Jury. Two days be
fore the Jury had been completed. I e.p
proaohed Mr. Fouts, at his office In tne Lum
bermen's (building; the conversation at that
time was simply the question on my part as
to whether they had tried or were going to
try to tamper with the Jury. Mr. Fouts re
plied that they had not done so, and it was
not necessary as they could clear Mr. Morris;
that the District Attorney's office was back
ing water, and had given up hopes of ac
complishing anything. I said that if that
was the case that there would be no use of
talking further, and left the office.
I believe It was two days following
that In answer to an advertisement
about a position in the Lumbermena
building, that I met Mr. Fouts in the
elevator as I was leaving the building.
I spoke to him and asked him how the
trial was coming along. He said that
the jury had been completed and the
trial started the day before, and I said,
"Wall, good luck to you."
.Fonts Nudges Sim.
As I left the elevator. Mr. Fouts
nudged -me. and we walked to the curb
stone on the Fifth-street entrance, and
there he asked me who amongst the
Jurors I knew. I told him that I did
not know any of them, but that It was
easy to .become acquainted. He told me
to come to his office shortly after noon
that day. At about 12:15 I went to his
off loo, and he asked me If I had made
any plana I told him none whatever.
He asked me how much money it would
take to clinch the deal. I told him I
had no idea it would depend upon the
man. He told me to come around that
evening, as they were going to have a
talk at noon about finances, etc. I saw
him that evening at his office In the
Dumbermens building, at about 5:15, and
he told me that there was no funds, that
he had been paying for Mr. .Morris
lunches, cigarettes, etc, out of his own
pocket, that Mr. Morris had been un
able to find lucrative work since his in
dictment and that between the two of
us. Mr. Morris had only $3500 when he
went into the Oregon Trust; that he
went in at the invitation of the other
men; that Mr. Morris had made nothing
,by the deal, and that Mr. Morris was
being made the "goat." He said that
they were attempting to get the other
people implicated In this affair with the
Oregon Trust, to back Mr. Morris in his
defense, but that so far they had not
come through.
Saw Him Next Day.
He told me to see him again the fol
lowing day and I saw him at his office. He
then told me that the situation was the
same, with no funds in sight, but for me
to tell him where he could find out about
me. I told him that I knew very few peo
ple here, that I had been in the city but
a short time, and at that time I mentioned
the name of Bob Patterson, who owns a
saloon at Seventh and Flanders, as an ac
quaintance of mine, and that I had been
doing a little work for Mr. Patterson, about
the securing of a lease on a store building
at filxtti and Flanders, to be used as a
chop suep and light lunch establishment,
but further than that Mr. Patterson knew
nothing of me. I thought Fouts might be
acquainted with him. 1 received instruc
tions to come around again, but Z have
forgotten whether I went that day or the
next, but at that time Mr. Fous was out-'
By that time I had Ojeolded bat they
were baiting me, and that the risk was
great, and so, lor two or three days did
not csU there at all, and as tar as I was
concerned the deal was off.
I was In the Lumbermen's building again
Monday, this week, to talk again with the
man to whom I applied for a position, as
he had said to me at a former visit that he
would have a salary proposition open on
Monday. As 1 left the building, 1 met Mr.
Kouts, who stopped me and asked me if I
couUi approach anybody on the Jury, and
asked me If I had any Juror In mind. I
told him no. and be told me to come back
to his office between 5 and 0 o'clock Monday
evening.
1 went back to Mr. Fouts office at 5
o'clock and waited until 5:80. During this
time, 1 had a little chat with Mr. Shelton.
1 had met Mr. Ehelton at a former visit to
tUe office, and had found out that he was
interested in the Vail oil fields, in which 1
am also Interested to the extent of a Gov
era me ill claim. Upon Mr. Fouts entrance.
we retired to his office, where he asked me
what 1 would undertake to bind a deal with
one of the Jurors for. Z told him that Z
thought it would probably take $1000 for the
iuror's end. and he suggested making it
S1A00 and Z divide with the Juror any way
that I saw lit- He told me to meet him
again Tuesday evening.
On Tuesday evening, at shortly after 6
o'clock. Z met Mr. Fonts at his office, and
he told me that It was all right, that the
$1500 would foe forthcoming, but that he
would not turn any money over to the Juror
until after the verdict had been returned,
saying that Z could arrange a meeting be
tween the Juror, myseii ana an agent or Mr
Fouts wherein the money would be shown
to the luror and placed In the hands of some
reputable person whose word the Juror would
be willing to accept.
Barton: Sought Out.
On Tuesday evening I approached Mr. Bar
ton. I found he was a plasterer by trade.
thought he would be the proper man to ap
proach, as he would undoubtedly be poor.
Mr. Fouts knew Mr. Barton by sight, say
ing that he was, as 1 remember, "the second
man from the end." I had never been in
tha court-room myself at any time, and Mr,
Fouts made the statement he thought Mr.
Barton looked like a man who could be de
pended upon. Mr. Pweek agreeing to thla

about the tract with the others, but at
no great distance from where the child
was left- After not over 20 minutes
s-he returned to the cart, but the boy
was missing. A blanket which had
been arm n ch Tna .1 n
over him, had been lifted and care-
mm over tne root or tne cart, ap
parently proving that the child had not

Search Begun at Once.
Upon missing her son. Mrs. Wood lm
mediately sounded an alarm and in a
very few minutes 25 or .more persons
had scattered In as many directions
and examined every foot of ground for
a quarter or a mile, looking behind
every stump and log. Night fell and
lamps and gas tanks were removed
from automobiles and the search kept
up by their aid. At 11 o'clock the
search was abandoned for the night,
but was resumed yesterday and con
tinued throughout the day.
Meanwhile Mr. Wood was notified In
Portland and took immediate steps to
get help from the authorities. An
alarm was communicated to the second
night relief of the police. Conductors
ana braszemen on the electric trains
were queried but could remember no
child answering the description travel
ing on their cara An attempt was
made to get bloodhounds, but none
could be secured nearer than Salem.
While suspicious of the gypsies at
Fulton Hill, Mrs. Wood Is very much
puzzled by the strange conduct of a
man who accompanied the party, and
who appears to be the only one who
was' not known to some of the others.
Stranger Follows Mother.
At the time nothing was noted in his
conduct except that Mrs. Wood re
marked to her friend that he appeared
to be following her and watching her.
and when she started to leave the boy
in his cart to accompany the rest of
tha party he asked her, "Are you going
to leave that child there She an
swered that he would be all right, and
thought no more of the Incident until
she missed him.

Mrs. Wood thinks he had a moustache.
Two men of the party are certain that
they could Identify him If they saw
him again. On the way out he inti
mated his Intention was to go to For
est Grove, saying he had sold some
property there to a doctor with whom
he had had several transactions, but
he was unable to remember the doc
tor's name. When the name of a phy
sician of Forest Grove was suggested
to him he readily accepted It as the
name of his business associate.
When the party alighted at Kusa, a
station on the Oregon Electric line be
tween Multnomah and Tigardvllle, he
remarked that he guessed he would
see the show, and it was then that
Mrs. Wood thought he was paying par
ticular attention to her. At some time
while the party was viewing the real
estate he disappeared unnoticed, and
it was a few minutes later that Mrs.
Wood missed her child.
Boy Cnusually Handsome.
Some children herding cpws nearby said
they had seen a man passing in the di
rection of the car tracks, but could not
say .whether he had a child with him.
Their description was unsatisfactory.
They had seen no child walking alone.
With a mother's fondness, Mrs. Wood
ascribes her boy's winsome qualities as
the motive for his kidnaping. She argues
that any one committing such an act for
gain would have stolen a child of wealthy
parents, unless It were the gypsies, to
whom a small ransom might be an ob
ject. Kenneth was 1 years old New Tear's
day. He cannot talk plainly and is not
able to tell his name. His mother de
scribes him as having unusually large
eyes of very deep blue and bright golden
hair, which she had "bobbed" Just the
day before his disappearance. He was
dressed in a light blue suit, a black-and
white checked coat and a dark blue velvet
cap. He wore ordinary black stockings
and slippers. Mrs. Wood says that every
one who saw him was struck with his
beauty and winsome ways. She says it Is
not true he had a habit of running away.
While, Uke all children, he was disposed
to ramble about his home, he was never
away from her more than a few minutes,
and she thinks it impossible that he could
have gone of his own motion.
In the midst of her anguish the mother
Is optimistic and feels sure that her child
will eventually be returned to her. That
he is alive and well she has no doubt. He

FLOCK TO COOKING LESSON
Maids and Matrons Anxious to Ac
quire Knowledge In the Art
of Cooltlng.
Over five hundred ladles succeeded
tn getting Into Miss Tracy"B lecture
room yesterday afternoon and nearly
as many went away disappointed, for
standing room was at a premium. Long
before the hour set for the beginning,
every chair was occupied and late com
ers crowded around the platform and
the doors. When Miss Tracy appeared
she was given an ovation. Many of
her pupils of former years were there
with friends who had often heard of
Mies Tracy, for her name is still a
household word In many Portland
homes. The lady responded gracefully
to the greeting she received; expressed
herself delighted to be back In Port
land; and then proceeded to discuss her
subject, "A Dainty Luncheon." She
made the most delicious soup, a French
concoction of spinach, green peas, mint
and parsley. She then proceeded to
broil a steak and such a steak cut
two Inches in thickness. It was broiled
to & turn. Twenty minutes was allowed
for the broiling and during that time
the daintiest of biscuit were baked and
a delicious dessert called strawberry
balls, which was served with whipped
cream. This dainty dessert was made
with strawberry iulce, gelatine, white
of egg and cream. The moulds were
lined with strawberries which, when
served, made a most appetizing dish.
At the close of the lesson. Miss Tracy
held a reception of old friends. Her
next lesson will be given Tuesday af
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Chrlstensen
Hall. Eleventh and Yamhill streets. The
Portland Gas and Coke Company, un
der whose auspices Miss Tracy Is con
ducting the cooking school, will en
deavor to have more chairs for the ac
commodation of the 'adies at the Tues
day lesson. The subject of this lesson
is to be "Cakes and Icings."

ST. PAUL, May 12. Settlers in the vicin
ity of Grand Marais, who lost everything
In forest fires except the clothes on their
backs, began arriving in that village to

members had been compelled to submerge
themselves to keep the flames from burn
ing the clothes from their bodies. In this
party were Ave children whd were so
badly burned they are being cared for

At Gooseberry River and along Beaver
Bay the flames are eating their way
through the woods. From Clarke Bay to
Tofte and as far back as the eye can see,
timber is on fire. From Good Harbor to
Grand Marais fires burned at intervals.
Reports received early in the day from
Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin
and Michigan indicated that the fires
were not burning as fiercely as yesterday,
but later reports said the wind appeared
to be rising again.
,It i estimated the loss on cut timber
in the district between Tofte and Good
Harbor will be $60,000.
