A formal statement bas been aimed
by Mr. Staadley In which he admit
that be "circulated false and malicious
statement ronrernlna Mr. Robinson
over a period of severaj years, i
air. Mandley'a retraction Is perhaps
the moti sweeping that has been made

Manrtlnt" of the County Superintendent.
A hen Mr. Robinson resigned his posi

of Illness. Mr. Standley. according to

Itoblnson and hla family. Mr. rUand

of defamation waa kept up after the

Malicious Slander Confessed.
Neither Mr. Rohlnson nor Mr. Stand

cuss the subject aside from Mr. Stand
ley's formal statement, which Is:
"I. Wllllsm J. fitandley. of tha City
of Portland. Or, do hereby admit that
during the Seattle Exposition, at which
place I waa present. I falsely snd un
warrantedly made and circulated false
and malicious statements to school prin

Involving the character and standing of
K. r. Robinson, of the City of Port
land. Or., for the pnrposa and Intent to
Injure and defame the name of the said
Robinson, who wss at that time super
intendent of the educational exhibit at

"I further state that since said 'time
1 have repeated these and other state

that' Mr. Robinson did not resign bis
above position on account of Illness.
which sstd statement waa registered for
that purpose, but thafhe was compelled
to resign, and that 1 have recently mad

of the said Robinson, and that 1 did
make the statement that his wife. Ella
K- Robinson, waa prosecuting htm for a
divorce, basing said prosecution upon the
grounds In reference to th stories which
I had circulated.
"I now desire to stste that each and
all of the charges which I made and
circulated against said Robinson or
raused to be made or circulated against
him are false, untrue and without foun
dation, and that I made the same, and
each and all of them, for the malicious
purpose of Injuring the said Robinson
and bis family, and now. In Justice to
th said R. F. Robinson and his family.
1 hereby, without reservation, announce
to the world that I make a complete re
traction of each and every statement
which I have made at any time or place
against him or his family, with a full
knowledge thar all of th statements,
characterisations or Insinuations which
1 have made against the said R. F. Rob
inson or his family were false and with
out foundation.
I make thla statement with a full
knowledge of what It meana to me. with
a view of being honest and fair to the
said R- F. Robinson and family, and that
said statement Is mad by m without
any solicitation. Intimidation, coercion
or threat upon the part of any person
or persons whomsoever, that 1 am pos
sessed of a full knowledge of the attua
. tion and th premises, and this statement
Is made aa my honest duty and In Justice

"(Signed) . WILXJAM J. 8TANDLET."
ConfrsMon I Distributed.
It was agreed that copies of the
statement be made and circulated
among person of Mr. Robinson's pro
fession who had heard the reports and
among othera who were likely to have
been Influenced by them.
I wish to stand by that statement.
waa Mr. Standley'a comment yester
dsy. "1 have assumed all responsibil
ity for the reports concerning Mr. Rob
inson and don't wish to do him further
InJ'iry."
Mr. Standley haa Mad charge of th
manual training department of th
Portland s hoots for several years. II
had direction of th Portland city ex
hibit at the Seattle fair and It waa
from there that the first embarrass
ing reports concerning Mr. Roblnsoa

the state exhibits, became ill and re
turned to hla home In Portland. Th
Commissioner of Education urged him
to remain and Insisted that as soon as
lils health permitted he should return
to Seattle and take charge of hla work.
In subsequent" political per tads It waa
asserted that Mr. Robinson had been
compelled to withdraw from the expo
sition and upon thla report waa based
the allegation that domestic trouble
had arisen. It waa not nntll his family
life waa brought Into question that Mr.

No Matter What Decision.
No matter which way Federal Judge
Wolverton decides th famoua Southern
Pactflo land grant suit today, the case
will go to th United Statea Circuit
Court of Appeals and then to th Uni
ted Statea Supreme Court.
"I am confident th ultimate dec I
sion w HI be In favor of the Govern
ment." aald B. D. Townsend. the Gov
ernment representative, last nlsrht.
nd I am equally confident that
neither those who Intervened in the
Government's suit, numbering about
&000. nor the 65 cross-complainants
represented by A. W. Lafferty will gain
their point.
"Persona who are seeking to Jump
thla valuable land the moment the
court decides this suit will be disap
pointed, for the land will not be sub
Ject to homestead entry until made ao
by act of Congress. It la certain that
Congress will give everybody an equal
chance, for thla ahould be the people's
victory, not a victory of a few per
son who are sitting tip. waiting to
Jump the best of th land. It will be
for Congress to describe the method by
which this land shall be disposed of,
and Congress undoubtedly will dis
qualify any one who haa Jumped the
land In advance of the time set for
entering It, Just aa Congress did in
opening Oklahoma."
Decision to Re Given Today.
Judg Wolverton's decision will be
handed down at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Tha case Is before him on tha
demurrer of th Southern Pacific Com
pany to the complaint of the Govern
ment, which seeks to cancel patent to
about 2.300.000 acrea of the .richest
agricultural and timber land In Ore
son. Thla Is estimated to be worth
from 10.000.000 to 375.000.000. and the
law provided that the railroad com
pany should sell It to actual settlers
In blocks not to exceed 10 acrea to
one peraon. and at not more than 12.50
an acre. But the railroad company
aold aome of It, 1000 acres and more to
each individual. The Got ernment took
action by asking thn cancellation of
patent to the tract. All who purchased
more than 1000 acres are mad parties
to the Government's stilt.
B. D. Townsend. special agent for the
Attorney-General, filed the suit Sep
tainber 8. 1908. Mr. Lafferty had already
filed suit on behalf of 65 persons who
alleged that they had actually settled
on the land and had demanded that the
railroad company give them title, but
title had been refused. They asked
that the court by writ of mandamus
compel the railroad to give title When
Mr. Townsend filed the- suit on behalf
of the Government, these (5 persons
were made cross-complainants.
Suit Based on Early Grants.
The suit of the Government Is based
upon two grants to the Oregon A Cali
fornia Railroad Company, since ab
sorbed by the Southern Foclfic Com
pany. The first grant was made July
:5. 1K. and amended In 168 and again

SHOWS may come and shows may go,
but minstrels go on forever. And
always there's a big following of ad
mirers In their wake. It has been two
seasons since Lew Dockstader mln
strelled amongst ua. and last evening at
the Helllg all hla old friends and their
friends came to laugh at his Jokes and
drink In th music of his bunch of help-
-era. A goodly bunch It Is. too, and th
entertainment they give is more like a
dusky vsudevUle bill long-drawn out and
completely filling.
Everybody goes to work early In th
gam and apparently no one rests.
There's none of the "old-tlma "Gentle
men, be eested" palaver, no "bones."
no "end-men" and even the "Who-was-that-lady-I-seen-you-with
-yesterday" di
alogue ts relegated to thj past. Thee
are . Indeed "twentieth century" min
strels. Just aa their billing aaya.
The first psrt of the evening's show
Is distinctly an Innovation. Instesd of
the traditional seml-clrele. Mr. Dock
stader. always original, has substituted
a muslral comedy, or aa near to a mu
sical comedy as a melange of songs and
dancea and chatter can be. and yet be
girl less. -This he haa been pleased to
deslgnste a gathering of the "Possum
Hunt Club." While this la the dark-
meat. It Is. In fact, the only part of the
entertainment that keeps alive the at
mosphere of minstrelsy. In this act th
specialities appear In rapid-fire order
and each received several encores.
Hsppy Naulty, who soma dsy is going
to pull down a fat salary doing a single
in vaudeville, came tn for popularity
aecorKi only to Dockstader himself.
Happy sings. In a wonderfully high,
rlear tenor and dancea as lightly as th
oft-heard of feather.
Allan Campbell, whoae voice la a
splendid big deep basso: Charles Folk,
a tenor of great range and aweetneaa
and Frank Farron, a baritone of power,
form the singers worth while in the
cast-
Dockatader la naturally th pivotal
attraction round which everything and
everybody else revolves. Much of the
comedy Is painfully ancient, but even
those with "whiskers" drew laughs
from someone somewhere) In the audi
ence. There are lota of new bits of
humor, too, and one or two bon-mota
that shake a foot daringly over the line
of good taste. Dockatader'a piece de
resistance la his acerie In an alr-shlp.
In which ha floats nonchalantly about
over the heads In the first three rowa.
Seated In thla airy-fairy contrivance he
sings many ballade of local color and
subjjet. For Instance, he has put tha
Mayoralty campaign Into verse: the
Broadway bridge question. Portland
baseball games and buildings, cltlxens
and civic conditions all come In for
nice friendly rape.
The second part of the entertain
ment Is a travesty on th opera "Pina
fore." Lewie F. Mulr, a ragtime plan
1st. plays plesTSantly. and Ralph Allen,
a recent addition to the company,
scores decidedly with a whistling num
ber. Carrol Johnson, an old-time min
strel man who has headed companies
of his own. contributes dance numbers
and a song or two.
Stage settings and costumes are
handsome, and the orchestral music Is
particularly good. The entertainment
will b repeated this evening and to
morrow .evening. No matinee.

NL'SUAL Interest was evidenced
In the production of that remark
able old drama, 'The Old Homestead,"
Inasmuch aa a well-filled house greeted
It at the Bungalow yesterday after
noon, despite the fact that Old Sol and
aouthern breeses combined to make the
day the rarest one of the season.
This well-known tale of New Jersey
folk, after 30 -years of popularity. Is
today one of those compelling and thor
oughly enjoyable, clean and unpreten
tious, homilies thst appeal to the class
of theatergoers who do not demand
problem plays for their theatrical
pabulum.
Eliminating tha many pleasing fea
tures of solo and choral singing, the
play Is still meritorious. Add the musi
cal numbers and It becomes real enter
tainment, of old-fashioned sort, with
fau large morals tucked unobtrusively
In corners.
The late iDenman Thompson, himself
one of the best-known of character
actors, first shaped this play, an un
pretentious recital of th most sincere
phsses of human emotions, and In a
one-act drama was produced under the
title of "Joshua Whltcomb." Like Mr.
Finney's turnip, however, "It grew and
It grew," and finally was launched as
a melo-dramatlc comedy.
The characters are typical small
town folk; conscientious, honeat, kindly
old Uncle Josh, a role Mr. Thompson
created. Aunt Matilda, gentle and pa
tient: Cy Prime and his crony Seth
Perkins: Rickety Ann. Eb Ganxey the
whistling wizard, the Harlem Spider,
the big New York cop. Reuben Whlt
comb the wandering son of old Uncle
Joshua, the Judge and all the other ac
cepted and prescribed characters that
necessarily go tn round out the telling
of a rustic story.
William Lawrence, a capable char
acter actor, very acceptably fills Mr.
Thompson'a old role, and delighted
yesterday's audience with his quaint
speech and unaffected manner.
Joseph A. Daley is an unusually In

make It possible for the company to
construct a railroad from Portland to

MICHAEL DAVITTS MEMORY IS
HONORED BY HIBERNIAN'S,
United Irish League of Portland
Joins in Big Gathering; and
Loyal Speeches.
Members of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians and the United Irish League
of Portland gathered at Woodmen of
tha World Hall last night to pay hom
age to the memory of Michael Davltt,
one of Ireland a most loyal sons.
Wallace McCamant. In paying
tribute, to Davltt for being instru
mental in bringing about land reforms
in Ireland, gave a review of the his
tory of the landlordism that existed
there sine the early days of feudal
Ism, showing that it was impossible
for the Irish people to receive Justice
or relief from the tyranny of the ab
sentee landowners.
Th first Important etep forward, he
said, waa made when Michael Davltt
began his fight for the land tenants
with a view to having the titlea to the
land restored to the people and to re'
lleve the country of th curs of lan
lordlsm.
"Until recently. Ireland had received
mighty little from England In 800
years." said Mr. McCamant. "Now the
land Is paeslng Into th hands of the
peaaanta and a great change la taking
place in Ireland. Michael Davitt
achieved a great reform for his coun
try In causing the curse of the absentee
landlord to cease In Ireland. He lived
to see the fruits of his great cause.
He ranks with the great men of his
kind."
D. Soils Cohen eulogized Davitt
The Friend of Humanity." He said
that Davltt was of a broad and liberal
mind, without prejudice for religion or
nationality, and was one of the most
prominent figures In late history for
the uplift of mankind. Davltt was not
only tireless In his cervices for his
countrymen, but he was Interested and
active In helping the weak and power.
less of other nations. The speaker
spoke fee'lngly of Davitt s part In pub
llehing the atrocities practiced upon
the Jews In Russia.
'He became an Inspiration to free
dom and brotherhood," said Mr. Cohen.
"He will always be revered by my peo
pie. In the lives of men like him we
car. ee the dawn of a brighter age
when the weak shall not be oppressed
by the strong, when force shall be
tnlnd. Slay heaven bless the American
mother who gave him birth." -
The hirrt address was given by A.
D. Crldge. who told of Davltts Influ
ence nnd work as a "Labor Unionist."
Davltt was a frequent visitor to the
United Ftates. and took a great inter
est In the labor question of this coun
try.
Raymond Duncan discussed "Greek
nd Gael tn Literature." In addition
fo the addresses, vocal solos were ren
dered by Mrs. Ray Sullivan. Miss Rose
Fridle and Bert O. Carl. J. Hennessy
Murphy presided over the meeting.
Addressing the People's Forum In the
Medical building' last night. Dr. Harry
Lane mad tb admission that be would
Ilk to serve the people of Portland
again as their chief executive but not
until the city charter was extensively
amended and th Mayor was clothed
with greater power or a commission
plan of government was adopted by
tha people. The subject of Dr. Lane's
address was "Street Vacations and
Other Things."
"I do not think I am making a mis
statement when I say the city of Port
land has given away absolutely streets
having a valuation of between. 320.000,
000 and 830,000.000." said Dr. Lane.
This was an outright gift for which
th municipality received nothing.
Streets or other public property should
be vacated only on specific conditions
and the city should never part with Its
title to such proporty and the right at
all times to use them. Streets belong
to abutting property, but their use be
longs to the people."
Dr. Lane aald there were 1000 miles
of streets In Portland which. In his
opinion, was about twice as many
streets as the city should have. "Main
tenance of streets constitutes a perma
nent fixed charge against the city
whi3h, in Portland, ultimately will be
come unbearable," he added. "I would
urge a reduction In the number of
streets, especially In- the outlying dis
tricts, oy increasing tno size oi tn
blocks. This should be done for the
best Interests of the city in the future."
In further criticism of the city char
ter. Dr. Lane referred briefly to his
administration as Mayor, calling atten
tion to some of the handicaps he had
to contend with.
'The Mayor is a negative performer
under the present system," said Dr.
Lane. "He appoints only one official
City Engineer, and then has only 3200
month to pay that official, who Is
expected to do work that is worth a
salary of 310,000 annually. With a
310,000-a-year man In the City Engi
neer's office, between 3750,000 and
31.000,000 could be saved annually to
the city. Nearly 31.000,000 is being
wasted every year through the office
of City Engineer as It is now conducted.
'If the conditions complained of are
corrected. It wllUn necessary to amend
ihe city charter to the extent that you
would not know it, or resort to the
only alternative and adopt a commis
sion plan of government. Adopt tha
latter plan and turn the government
of your city over to five responsible
men and hold the recall over everf last
one of them. This will Insure the de
sired administration of the clty'a busi
ness. '
'Under such a plan I would be glad
again to be Mayor. I would be able
In 60 days to give tnis city a cieaning-
up that would be startling In Its scope."

In
VANCOUVER. Wash- April' 23
Special.) At a union service of the
"nited Brethren. Presbyterian and
Methodist congregations in the First
Baptist Church tonight, several short
sermons against prizefighting were de
Ilvered and a movement was started to
ve the City Council stop prizefights
v ancou ver.
Those who preached were Captain
Dutton. temperance lecturer; Rev. C. R.
Poole, pastor of th Baptist Church
Rev. J. T. Merrill, representative of
the United Brethren Church, formerly
pastor of the local church, and Rev.
H. Berrlnger. pastor of the Irvington
Methodist Church. Rev. H. S. Templeton,
pastor of the Presbyterian Church, led
prayer and Rev. Morris Goodrich,
pastor of the United Brethren, said the
benediction. The church was crowded.
Rev. Mr. Berringer said the manage
ment of the prizefight was clean, as
lean as It could be. but that a prize
fight la against the state atatute and
he Council cannot legalise It. lie said
the Council passed the ordinance per
mitting so-called boxing contests in
ne night, railroading it. through, giv
ing the ministers no chance to file a
petition of protest. The Mayor, he de
clared, had Informed him that he was
looking after the financial aide of the
question when he signed it, expecting
the citizens of the city to get back a
few of the dollars from Portland spent
there by Vancouver people.
The clergyman said he had the promise
of the County Attorney that orders would
go from his office that no more prize
fights would be permitted here. He al
leged that muny of the namea of. the
3SS on the petition asking the Council
to permit "boxln exhibitions" were of
those under legal age and the majority
were not business men as alleged, but
were "common people" who pass on the
streets.
He denied the report that he and Rev.
Mr. Poole went to the prizefight Fri
day night. i
"We went to see who went there, and
we were stationed outside.' We wanted
to see If the business men were support
ing such a hlng." he said.
He saw the Mayor and members of the
Council going Into the auditorium, he
said, and had expected to see them take
their wives and daughters but were sur
prised to see them going in alone.
"If it was no fit place for them to
take their wives, it was no fit place for
them to go," the .clergyman continued.
Rev. Mr. Merrill chid the two min
isters for not going Inside that they
might talk intelligently about what had
taken place and added he was going to
buy s ticket to the next prizefight held
In Vancouver If It costs 35 that he could

WONDERFUL
EHRLICH'S
DISCOVERY
Indicated in the Worst Form of Blood Diseases,
Eruptions, Sores, Ulcers, Etc, Also in Threat
' ened and Early Paralysis, Epilepsy,
Psoriasis, Etc
All other treatments for Aliments of the Blood have been slow, bap
hazard, and never positive, often bringing: about conditions worse than
the original ailment. "60S" acts Immediately. It is administered only
once, and the symptoms begin to disappear within 12 hours. Pr. Julius
L. Metzler, of the John D. Rockefeller Institute, says: "Only sclerttlfio
men can imagine what a marvel oua discovery this is. It is beyond be
lief what it will do." "06" (also known as 8 ALV ARB AN ) was discov
ered by Prof. Ehrllch, of Frank fort, A. M.. physician to the German
Emperor, after sfx hundred and five other experiments hence given ths
name "606,"
I have personally administered this new remedy and know Its power.
I have a full supply of "806" on hand, made in tlve German laboratories,
and imported In the original tubes. I make all required blood testa, and
am thoroughly conversant with the technique of preparing and admin
istering the treatment, which I will gladly explain to all Interested.
