SGRIBER CASE 10
REACH JURY TODAY
Government Reviewing Evi
dence Alleges 50 Separate
Acts of Forgery.
INSANITY THEORY DENIED
r. Lane Says Prejudice Against
Doctors Is No Kvldence of Un
sound Mind Attorney and
Witness Show Feeling.
Rebuttal evidence In the trial of Jeff
erson W. Scriber was closed yesterday
afternoon and United States District At
torney McCourt began his opening ad
dress. It is believed that the case will
'be submitted to the jury before the close
of today. ;
At the opening of court this morning
the Government will be required to elect
upon which of the 37 counts It will ask
a conviction of the man charged with
wrecking the Farmers & Traders Na
tional Bank of La Grande through mis
appropriation of its funds.
The Prosecuting Attorney invited the
attention of the jury to the charges made
in the several indictments wherein BO
separate acts of forgery and falsification
of the books of the failed bank were set
out, and without wasting time on gen
eralities entered Into a description of
how, according to the contention of the
Government, Scriber manipulated the
forged notes so that the bank was made
to appear to have much larger resources
than actually existed.
It is being contended by the Govern
ment that the bank would have been
closed years prior to its final retirement
had Scriber not made false entries in the
books for the deception of bank exami
ners, y
Dr. Lane Is Expert Witness.
The final witness for the Government
was Dr. Harry Lane, who testified as an
expert on Insanity. Dr. Lane said that
he had acquired knowledge of paranoia
through four years' study of patients at
the State Insane Asylum, where he was
superintendent, and that in later years
he added much to his store of informa
tion on that subject by toeing Mayor of
Portland.
Answering the hypothetical question as
to the sanity of Scriber, the witness said
that no physician could give an opinion
upon such a basis.
"There must be a careful study of the
patient charged with being a paranoiac,
and a careful examination of his condi
tion," said Dr. Lane.
In disputing the theory of the defense
that Scriber had a delusion that his bank
was being attacked and that he must
save it. Dr. Lane said:
"If the facts really existed as to the
opposition to the bank, and the man drew
a logical conclusion from the facts, then
he would be sane. Eliminating the de
lusion, he Is sane, and there is no evi
dence to the contrary.
"Hardening of the arteries does not
indicate Insanity. If the brain system of
arteries is hardened, then what is called
second childhood comes on. The brain
tissue does not change and in such a
person a dissection of the brain has never
exhibited insanity.
Tears Not Conclusive.
"The evidence as to a man breaking
down and crying when told that his son
would die, or when talking of his finan
cial troubles, means nothing by itself.
He may be highly emotional.
'I would not consider the mother of Mr.
Scriber to have been insane because she
.accused the doctors of first attempting
to kill her son, and later saying that
the physicians were trying' to keep him
alive in order to make him suffer. Mrs.
Scriber was irrational because of grief,
and the fact that she afterward recov
ered her normal condition, although re
taining a prejudice against doctors, would
prove that statement.
"It is an uncommon experience, but -it
has happened, that other persons have
made similar accusations against the pro
fession. In some cases classes of people
have that belief. I believe it to be true
that gamblers adhere to the belief that
doctors kill them, rather than effect
cures."
McMahon Shows Feeling.
An attempt by Attorney L. H. Mc
Mahon to impeach the credibility of
Walter Pierce, of La Grande, as a wit
ness for the Government, was brought
to a close by the summary interfernce
Of Judge Bean. The court refused to
permit McMahon to question the wit
ness as to an alleged forged discharge
of a mortgage while he was acting as
Clerk and Recorder of Umatilla County.
It was the first time that ex-Senator
Pulton has given way to his associate
In examining witnesses, and it was im
mediately apparent that bad feeling ex
isted between McMahon and Pierce.
McMahon is a relative of Scriber.
McMahon began, by questioning the
fact that Pierce appeared In the case as
an unprejudiced witness, and accused
Pierce of having made a business of
talking to other witnesses during the
hearing, in the hope of influencing
them against Scriber.
The lawyer forced Pierce to admit
that after the failure a scene occurred
In the directors' room of the Farmers
& Traders National Bank, when Scriber
accused Pierce of having made fictitious
entries in the books of the Grande
Ronde Electric Company, which Pierce
did not deny. The court allowed Pierce
to explain that he had promised Judge
Crawford to keep control of his temper
and in accordance with that promise
had left the bank when wrongfully ac
cused by Scriber, as the witness
averred.
McMahon began an examination
seeking to prove questionable work by
Pierce in relation to the mortgages and
an attempt to secure a second mort
gage on the same land. When shut oft
by Judge Bean. ircMahon left the court
room. A bailiff later appeared in the
hall to quiet a loud criticism of the
ruling of the court, which was being
Indulged in by McMahon.
Men Meet in Corridor.
At the noon hour, McMahon stationed
himself near the door of the courtroom
and as Pierce passed, the lawyer called
him a "dirty pup," and offered to
prove his charges. Pierce walked on
down the stairs with friends but was
heard to say that he would "get Mc
Mahon." The Incident created a great deal of
feeling among the people from Eastern
Oregon who are attending the trial.
Pierce was used as a witness to
break down the insanity theory of the
defense. He said that he , had done
business with Scriber for many years,
regarding him as the keenest business
man he ever was associated with.
Scriber, said the witness, was the man
who pulled the Grande Ronde Electric
Company through the panic of 1907. He
had not observed any change in the de
fendant up to the time of (he bank
failure in 1908.
M. L. Causey, a member of the Church
faction at La Grande, testified that
the factional war between the La
Grande National Bank and the Farmers
& Traders was exceedingly bitter, and
that it continued in a lesser degree
after the death of Church. The witness
denied on cross-examination that meal
tickets had been furnished him by
Scriber, but confirmed the statement
that it was the habit of the Church fac
tion to meet trains and guide strangers
away from the Scriber bank.
Scriber Regarded as Shrewd.
E. L. Ackley, editor of the La Grande
Chronicle, considered Scriber a shrewd
business man up to the day of the fail
ure of the bank, and was followed in
the witness box by Judge Thomas
Crawford, who said that Scriber always
possessed an extraordinary grasp of
details, and that during an Intimate ac
quaintance .up to the day the bank
closed, no change was" observed In the
mental ability of the banker. Judge
Crawford said that the fight against
the Scriber bank was not a delusion,
but an actual fact at all times.
C. Bramwell, register at the Land
Office at La Grande, appeared for the
Government and said that he had been
employed by Scriber at one time, and
had been intimately acquainted with
him. He talked of buying the Farmers
& Traders Bank Jn June, 1908, and at
that time Scriber was entirely rational.
PIPE MONOPOLY IS WON
COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCE
FAVORING 'TRUST' PRODUCT.
North Albina Citizens Threaten Ref
erendum Terra Cotta Prices V
lay Be Reduced.'
After considerable discussion on the
part of members of the Council, the
Driscoll ordinance, creating a monopoly
for the Oregon & Washington Com
pany's products for sewers, was carried
by a vote of 9 to 6. If it is not vetoed
by Mayor Simon and his veto subse
quently sustained, J. H. Nolta and other
members of North Albina Push Clubs
authorized the statement that the refer
endum will be Invoked, as they regard
it as a piece of vicious legislation and
will not tolerate it.
"You can say that we are now going to
wait to see what action Mayor Simon
takes,' said Mr. Nolta. "If he vetoes it
and his veto is sustained, all right, but
if he does not veto it, we certainly shall
apply the referendum; we shall not
stand for any such vicious legislation
from a bunch of bull-headed Council
men." Those who voted to create a monopoly
for the- terra cotta pipe "trust" were
Councilmen Baker, Concannon, Driscoll,
Dunning, Kubli. Lombard. Menefee, Rush
light and Watkins; those opposed were
Councilmen Annand, Beldlng. Cellars,
Devlin, Ellis and Wallace. Those voting
lor the Driscoll ordinance based their
action upon the allegation that cement
sewer pipe is not good for the purpose,
being porous; those voting against the
monopoly measure held that the cement
pipe is as good as terra cotta and much
cheaper.
Whether Mayor Simon will veto the
measure is not known. It would not be
surprising if he does not, owing to re
cent tests of cement pipe and the fur
ther fact that the terra cotta; material
has been reduced in price and may be
reduced still further. However, he may
veto the measure because of the fact
that it limits competition, no other sewer
pipe material but vitrified pipe, cast iron
or terra- cotta being admitted. The price
of all but the terra cotta is prohibitive,
it is said, leaving the field for the Oregon
& Washington Pipe Company's product
alone.
TACOMA PROUD OF STADIUM
Army Tournament to Be vGlven Be
fore 3 0,000 People.
John A. Rea, a prominent business man
of Tacoma, passed through Portland yes
terday on his way to his home, after -a
business trip to Idaho. Mr. Rea is en
thusiastic as to the benefits which Ta
coma will derive from the new $100,000
stadium which has been selected by the
War Department of the United States as
the scene of the annual Army tournament
to be held July 24 to 30, and in which 1500
picked men from the ranks will par
ticipate. "The Stadium is the third structure of
its kind in the United States," said Mr.
Rea, "and we are enthusiastic aa to what
Tacoma will gain through Us use. We ex
pect a tremendous attendance at the
Army tournament, and that it will draw
many events of National Importance to
our city.
"The structure will be opened June 10 by
the public schools, 12,000 pupils being now
in training for participation in the event.
"Our Stadium Is built In the form of a
horseshoe and Is 400 feet deep, tiers of
seats rising on three sides in imitation
of the original Stadium at Athens. It will
seat 30,000 parsons, and with the prome
nades 10,000 more can be accommodated.
It was built by filling the bottom of a
gulch or ravine overlooking the bay, and,
completed, cost $100,000. The money was
raised by popular subscription, supple
mented by available school funds.
"The Army tournament events will consist
of competitive drill, mounted wrestling,
mounted broadsword contests, rescue
races, tugs of war on horseback and on
foot, sham battles, races of all descrip
tions between the soldiers, fancy riding,
schools of trained horses used by the cav
alry, wall scaling, and almost every fea
ture in which Uncle Sam trains his men.
"The principal use for the Stadium will
be as a. playground for the school chil
dren. It will be a baseball, foootball and
field-day ground for their use."
GOLD AROUSES SUSPICION
Police Want to Know if May Smith
Came Honestly by $921.
May Smith, arrested Tuesday mornifTg
while hanging about the South End
grills, was held in Jail yesterday until
after the banks opened, in order that she
might be prevailed upon to deposit the
$921 that she had on her person when
arrested. The charge against her comes
up this morning in Municipal Cour,t, and
in the meantime the police have been
making an investigation to determine
whether the woman acqured the money
honestly. She says the money is her sav
ings and she explained that she did not
believe in banks.
When searched by Matron Simmons, the
girl fought like a wildcat, and It required
the aid of two policemen to hold -her.
Money was found hidden in sacks in a
number of places in her clothing, and all
the while she was holding two $20 gold
pieces in her hands and declaring she
had no more money.

RAILWAY
SERVICE
PROSPECT
Starting of Spokane Flyer on
0. R. & N. Thought to Be
Initial Step.
TIME IS CUT 90 MINUTES
North Bank Expected to Meet Com
petition With New Timecard.
Extension of Contest to Seat
tle Route Is Probable.
The local railroad world has a sen
sation It has not enjoyed since the old
days when rate wars used to be ramp
ant on the Columbia River. Indica
tions are that the O. R. & N. ancT the
North Bank railroads will start a war
of speed, equipment and punctuality.
A rate war is forbidden and the
roads can only have recourse to ad
vertised advantages to attract patrons.
The Portland-Spokane Klyer, the new
O. R. & N. train to Spokane, went out
last, night crowded. Representatives
of the railroads were there to wish her
good speed, on the one hand, or failure
to maintain schedule on the other.
Although representatives of both
roads denied any war. It was only too
obvious they were sparring to save
time. In the Spokane. Portland & Se
attle office the schedule was being
gone over with a fine comb in an en
deavor to see where time can still
further be economised! It is probable
this will be done by cutting out some
of the numerous stops. The passenger
departments " of both roads have em
barked on extensive advertising cam
paigns, that was likened by one face
tious railroad man yesterday to the
claims of rival side-show attractions at
a circus,
"You can set your watch by the
Flyer," loudly proclaims General
Passenger Agent McMurray, of the O.
R. & N.
"The quickest time by one and a half
hours," vociferously cries General
Passenger Agent Adams, of ' the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle.
"It's not a matter of the time: it's
a question of getting there on time."
replies Mr. McMurray, as he rises to
the bait.
"We have the shortest route. We
leave and arrive on time," answers Mr.
Adams in type several inches high."
Adams Evades Questions.
"Do you intend to cut your time?" Mr.
Adams was asked.
- "I don't know what we'll do and I
would not say if I did," replied Mr.
Adams.
"Are your men engaged now in seeing
where they can cut down time?"
Mr. Adams declined to answer the ques
tion. Later, however, he said: "The
North Bank brought improved Portland
Spokane Bervlce. We have had the best
of things right along and I rather think
we shall keep up our record."
With- Harrlman officials galore look
ing on and each with his finger on his
watch, the crack flyer slipped out of the
Union Depot as the hour of 6 chimed,
thus taking precedence of the Shasta
Limited, formerly the pet train of the
Harrlman lines.
Composed of entirely new equipment,
the train made a fine sight. In the dining-car
there were souvenirs for the first
travelers and the tables were decorated
with carnations and roses. Special writ
ing paper was in the library car. The
observation car had a larger platform
than Is customary with a dome-lighted
roof. Comfortable seats were on the
platform, which had a hanging shade,
lower than usual, to protect travelers
from the dust.
"On Time,' Is Watchword.
As the train pulled out, Mr. McMur
ray called out, "Good luck. That's the
schedule that train will never break. Out
on time. In on time."
Traffic Manager Miler alluded to the
O. R. & N. record for freedom from acci
dents and said it was one no road in the
country could compare with. "Now you
can travel with comfort to Spokane," he
added.
Meanwhile the reply of the Hill line will
be awaited with interest and while the
traveling public benefits by the competi
tion that is resulting in Improved service
and better cars, rone but the railroads
paying heavy new equipment bills will
have cause for worry.
A similar competition will be inaugur
ated to Seattle, June 19, it is expected.
When the three Great Northern trains
go on with their new equipment, it is
likely that the Northern Pacific and Ore
gon & Washington will brush up their
equipment.
JENKINS IiEAVES NORTH BANK
Resignation Confirmed Appoint
ment A. Ii. Ruff Announced.
To the surprise of the whole local rail
road world, R. H. Jenkins resignation is
confirmed. Mr. Jenkins is assistant gen
eral rreignt ana passenger agent of the!
River railroads and was with the Colum
bia River road when it was purchased by
the Hill interests.
In a circular to be dated June L H. M.
Adams, general freight and passenger
agent, will announce Mr. Jenkins' resig
nation and the appointment of A. L. Rufl
In his position.
Neither Mr. Jenkins nor Mr. Adams will
suggest any reason for the retirement of
the former, but Mr. Jenkins is understood
to be making arrangements to enter busi
ness on his own account In Portland and
this Is probably the cause of the change.
He Is one of the best trusted and most
heartily liked men in the Hill service.

Spokane, Portland & Seattle for a year
at Spokane. Prior to that he was in the
office of the assistant traffic manager of

PORTLAND WINS AGAIN
R. A. BERNSTEIN, BACK, SAYS
TACOMA IS FOR ROSES.
Festival Should Be Boosted, by
Every City in Northwest,. Says
'Former "Art Man."
Like the return of the prodigal son in
that the fatted calf was slain In his
honor, R. A. Bernstein, known In Port
land for 20 years as "The Art Man," was
here yesterday for the first time In a
twelvemonth. In no other respect, how
ever, was his return similar to that of
the Biblical character.
Although a man of slight stature, Mr.
Bernstein has been notable for his dis
tinguished appearance and his friends
who received him yesterday at the Com
mercial Club say he is not now less distinguished-looking
than of ye olden
tymes. There was the same gray
streaked hair, brushed back and high from
a sloping forehead, the same brown-black
eyes, the same Bourbon nose, decorated
with a pair of gold-rimmed eyeglasses,
set with exacting precision and the same
everything in the way of apparel a la
mode.
Though now a Tacoma real estate man,
Mr. Bernstein is no less an enthusiastic
Portland booster than when he became a
charter member o the Commercial Club,
Eighteen months ago Mr. Bernstein went
to Tacoma to engage in the real estate
business, selling out his art establish
ment, though he still retains the manage
ment of the art exhibition circuit of the
Pacific Coast. It is managed by an as
sistant and all of his time is given to the
realty business.
He arrived here yesterday morning and
put up at the Conimerclal Club, when his
friends captured him, took him for an
automobile ride over the city, which, he
said, made him believe he was with
"Alice in Wonderland" dined him three
or four times and refused to let him
sleep until a late hour last night. Today
he will go back to Tacoma or -a -local
sanitarium, he said, as a result of the
strenuous programme of yesterday.
"I am qualified to sincerely make the
statement," he said, "after that auto
trip, that Portland has. made greater
strides in every way during the last year
than any city In the United States, which
means the world. I have for the last
20 years or so made a transcontinental
trip every year and a dozen or so abroad,
and believe your humble servant when he
says that Portland is entitled to the blue
ribbori or something else indicative of the
championship title.
"I want to say, too, that in Tacoma we
are for Portland. As the politicians say.
we. were for you in the primary and in
tend supporting you in the general elec
tion. It is a lamentable fact that Seattle
does not enjoy the same kindly feeling
from us.
"We are coming down here strong for
the Rose Festival. I am going to in
fluence everyone I can to come. I think
every city in the Northwest should unite
in making that Festival a success. We
all will profit by it. More solid investors
will come to the Pacific Northwest as a
result of the Festival than any other one
thing.
"The matter of a universally-recognized
name for that famous snow-capped moun
tain of ours up there has been settled, we
believe. The name all contending par
ties have decided upon Is 'Tahoma,' from
which Indian name 'Tacoma Is taken.
As everybody in Portland knows, Ta
comans have been calling it Mount Ta
coma and Seattleites have been calllng-it
Mount Rainier. On hundreds of maps
both names were- given. Now, through
the Rotary clubs of Tacoma and Seattle,
both booster organizations, the matter
has been practically settled."
