Advocates of Nesralth complain that the Lne and Douglaa anus misrepresented them by charging the Nesmlth promoters were publishing a bogua map which waa calculated to deceive voters about the proposed division lines, because an "Utnpqua" County waa shown cut off the western end of Lane and Qouglas Countlee.

"The map is di-celvlng In another respect and that Is that It mils to show the proposed Williams County, which is designated on the of ficial ballot as No. 354 and which la taken from the area of both Lane and Douglaa Counties and conflicts in its boundaries with the proposed Nesmlth County. There is no such county of Umpqua proposed and the same haa been obviously placed upon this map for the sole purpose of shortening the extreme length of Lane and Douglas Counties: the In tent bclnB to deceive the voter at a distance, who is ignorant of tha facta" passed, similar to this one. during his office as Governor, he will veto It. "Mr. West haa made his statement and. being made. It should deprive him of the vote and support of every msn In terested In the livestock industry of Oregon. His defeat of the measure costs tha livestock shippers of Ore gon H00.000 per year. Every stockman In Oregon asked for the passage of this bill.

When the Jury foiled to report an hoirr following its retirement at 3 o'clock this afternoon. District Attorney Lingenfelter expressed conndenoe of securing a verdict of guilty, or at the worst a disagreement. A touching scene was enscted when the verdict wis read. The wives of the defendants quietly wept for Joy and the defendants apparently labored under a great strain. Aa the Jurors filed from the room they were congratulated by the defendants, their wives and relatives. The famous Mountain Home land-fraud trial waa opened Just two weeks ago to day before Judge Dietrich. The defend anta were promoters of the Great West ern, now a defunct Irrigation company.

That R.

"I am well known la Portland and people know that I do not have to take this kind of cases. This matter Is cooked up by this woman and by that man Garland. In the District Attorney's of fice, who takea altogether too keen an Interest In her affairs. I was Indeed attorney for Chrisman In the suit he started against Lowengart, but the matter was bona fide and. In my opin ion Chrisman had a right to tha money he got." The alleged "badgering" of Mr. Lowengart, a prominent wholesale mil linery merchant, at the Hotel Lincoln In tlfla city, over a year ago. came to light yesterday In the County Court, when proceedings were commenced by Mrs. M. Anna Chrisman against Claude Chrisman, a traveling salesman for the Columbia Supply Company, for non aupport. Chrisman was defended by Attorney Glltner. who la also his at torney In pending divorce -proceedings and who acted for blra in the settle ment with Mr. Lowengart, growing out of the alleged -'badger game." The state was represented by Deputy Dis trict Attorney Garland. Huftband Forced Plot, She Says.

MIchelet. Pursuant to the action of the County Court, allowing, upon the recommendation of the grand Jury two additional deputies in the of fice of the District Attorney, Judge Cameron yesterday after noon announced the appointment of Charles J. MIchelet to fill one of the new positions. The ap pointee Is a young lawyer, who has been conducting a private practice in the Fenton building. He will take up his new duties at once. The name of the other deputy was withheld by Judge Cameron last night, but the appointment will probably be made public this morning. thoroughly frightened victim, to avoid publicity, paid and of thks, the woman says, GUtner secured J800. Attorney Giltner subjected the woman to a close cross-examination and shook bar testimony In many places, but she . ii " ii . ' ',. -. - ' f adhered with determination to the main ! statements. At the conclusion of the testimony, Judge Cleeton refused the woman sat isfaction upon her suit for maintenance, and called the attention of Deputy Dis trict Attorney Garland to the Incrimin ating statements made by the woman against tnree persons. Glltner Denies Charge. It la alles-ed that when the suit for damages was settled. Glltner told Low engart that he had no chance before a Jury In a case of this kind, and urged settlement. It is also alleged that Glltner asked Lowengart to sign an agreement that. In case he should come up for offfce at any time, thia matter should not be used against him, but held as a pure matter ot business. "Ahaolutelv false, every word of it," said Giltner when asked concerning this point. "The only paper signed waa a receipt for the money paid over." "I can prove max tnese aiaismenis are false," said the attorney last night "I never saw this man till he came here to start the suit against Lowengart, and I never saw the woman until after the divorce proceedings were com menced. This woman lias been coached. There Is bitter feeling between Gar land and Chrisman. on account of charges made by the latter In relation to Garland's Interest In Mrs. Chrisman, and I believe that that is where the animus arises. District Attorney Cameron was asked last night what steps he intended to take in the matter, ana saia tnw no bad not yet gone Into the case sufficiently- to know what he would do. He will go over the testimony with Garland this morning and decide upon his action. The matter Is certain to he lata oeiore the grand Jury, but It Is doubtful that any arrests will be made in the mean time. Praucator LaRoche, of the Bar As sociation, said yesterday afternoon that the case had not yet been caiiea to nis attention.

M'GINN'S ELECTION URGED TV. M. Davl9 Advocates Support of Republican Primary Nominee. PORTLAND. Or., Nov. 3. (To the Edi tor.) I saw' a communication in this morning's Oregpnian from ex-Judge Earl C. Bronaugh anent the candidacy of John B. Cleland for re-election as Circuit Judge. I was somewhat surprised at T . . J Ow.ni,o-K rannmTn.lllllTlB' tVlA T(.- jlection of Judge Cleland, in view of the fact, that Judge Cleland was defeated by a large majority at the recent prl- nary. I knew that a few years ago It waa hard to tell wnetner judge rsro naugh was a Democrat or a Republl- . ..... n-ian ha hPI-nma ft candidate foi Circuit Judge, he decided to run on the Republican ticket, and l naturany prelum ed that that was his politics at the present time. I further expected that Judge Bronaugh favored the present primary -law. But from his communica tion favoring Judge Cleland, I would take it that Judge Bronaugh is not very favorable to any party, and especially does nt'. care much about our primary law as . t stands today. . r . 1 ..a nnntinail ll. 111 1 H J ajlUnrV for nearly twenty years, and I have had in that tl-ne some cases to try oerore Judge Clelind, but my experience has not been aa satisfactory- as that of Judge Bronaugh. My clients have not been amonK the large corporations, but my cases l-ave been mostly damage cases tra -jnong the common people, and I WJi a-y without hesitation that I think .udge Cleland Is the most arbi tral man a ad the most unjust judge that I ever tiled a case before. He has no feeling for the poor and the weak, and I think I am Justified in saying that heretofore his decisions have been clearly In favor of the corporations and the rich. The records will show that of the damage cases that have been de cided by him It favor of the large cor porations and appealed to the Supreme Court, about throe-fourths have been re versed, showing that he favors the cor porations and the rich and stands against the poor end the weak, and the records will also show that about fifty per cent of the oJier cases tried before Judge Cleland ani appealed have been reversed. u In a few days th'S voters of Multnomah DATES M CHANGED CLOTHING CO. 166-170 THIRD ST.
