Charlton, assistant general passenger agent of the Northern Pa cific, returned to his office In this city yesterday artar a week's absence on a trip over the lines in the Northwest to prepare for the influx of the East ern crowds. "There are two classes of colonists." said Mr. Charlton, "the settler and the skilled workman. The former class consists of those men most of them with families who are desirous of se curing homes In this part of the coun try. They Invariably reach the farms and the undeveloped regions of the tats. The other class In many In stances Is made up of single men. and most of them try to secure locations In the cities and small towns. To this class also belong the thrifty laborers, who will seek employment In the lum ber camps. In the orchards and the har vest fields. Nearly all will become permanent residents. Influx Will Be Great. "All our advices from the Eaat In dicate that the number of people who will arrive In Oregon during the pres ent period will far exceed the Influx of ail prevloua months of reduced rat. While the volume of travel at this time seems heavy. I look for a far greater rush In a raontlf from bow Just be fore the cut rates are lifted. It has been my experience that settlers prefer to wait until the last, probably seek ing to encounter mora favorable weather at that time." The Northern Pacific officials at St. Paul have advised the local office that SO tourist sleepers have been assembled at the Eastern terminal yards to ac commodate the tourlet business. These will be attached to the regular trains or run as special trains, as the occa sion demands. J. 11. O'Neill, traveling passenger . . w nr t . .r . ' 'i vi iu.

Charles) Secures $1300 From Miss Jennie Eisner on "Mental Suggestion" Jury Awards En tire Snm and Interest. A suit for 11300 and accrued interest. In which Miss Jennie Eisner was the plaintiff and B. R. Charles the defend ant and In which "New Thought' played an Important part, was decided by a Jury In favor of the plaintiff In exaotly 20 .minutes in Judge McGinn's department of the Circuit Court yester day afternoon. The verdict declared that Mies Eis ner Is entitled to recover $1768.41, being the principal of 11800 and Interest from different periods In 1906 to data. The transaction had Its origin .In Honolulu, but, aocordlng to the plaintiff, was fin ished in Portland by the loaning to Charles of $10, making the full amount of 11300. This fact allowed notion to be brought in the Multnomah County Clroult Court. Thoughts Sent Radiating. The testimony of the plaintiff was to the effect that while she was a musio teacher in Honolulu In 1906. she became Interested In "New Thought" and later Interested Charles and his wife. In It. The principal religious exercise of de votees of the cult was the sending of a nobis thought through the atmosphere each evening before retiring, the the ory being that It would find lodgment In some other mind. Mlaa Eisner declared that at the time she became acquainted with Charles he was working for a Hawaiian newspa per. He had an Idea that he could make a success of business and she consented to loan htm $300, but declares that while he asked in words for only that amount, he gave her a mental sug gestion that $1000 would be more ac ceptable. Miss Eisner, according to both her own story and that of the defendant, lent the money on the strength of a simple memorandum, which was not acceptable to a Mr. Cassell. who was her agent. Cassell had Charles re place the memorandum by a promis sory note the next day. May 26, 1906. Note Is Given. ' In January, 1907, Cassell became Im patient and Insisted that Tils client make a demand for the money. To satisfy her agent. Miss Eisner testi fied, she loaned Charles $1000, which he turned over to her In the presence of Cassell In satisfaction of the note, re ceiving a receipt in full payment. Later, Alas Eisner said, she gave Charles- $290 when It became necessary for him to leave the islands on account of sickness in his family. Charles ad mitted that he left without making an assignment of his stock and money In 1 the bank to his -creditors and that he had compromised at least one claim against him since his arrival In Port land. He testified that he had called In one of his creditors an bad left Honolulu when this creditor Informed him that the stock In the store was of sufficient value to pay ail amounts he owed. It was brought out that Miss Eisner had never made a direct demand for the money. Her failure to do so she attributed to the mental Influence which Charles Is alleged to have had over her.
