With the time for holding the Elks'
National convention In Portland draw

tising schemes In connection therewith
are becoming numerous and among
them those for so-called -programmes"
are much'la evidence.
A few days ago the Elks' convention
commission caused advertisements to

attention to the fact that but one offi
cial programme will be Issued and
that the Klka ill derive no dlreci
revenue whatever from advertise
ments appearing In It.
The person who has been given the
privilege of issuing the official pro
gramme has paid the commission $1000
In cali and will deliver to the Elks
4.900 copies for free distribution to
visiting mem bar. The publishers are
not allowed to solicit any merchant In
Portland nor anyone doing business In
Portland for advertising.
Advertisers Make Cosnalalat.
Some time ago. however, complaint
was made to the Retail Merchants' As
sociation and to the Ad Club that so
licitors representing themselves to bo
the agenta of the official programme
publishers had sought contracts for
advertising Irr Portland. W. B. Shlvely.
secretary of the Retail Merchants' As

of that organization calling their at
tention to the fact that the Klka had
given their assurance that no advertis

advising them not to do business with
solicitors for any such programmes,
official or otherwise.

rlrtuallv in an Indorsement of the at
titude of the Elks In prohibiting the
programme publishers from soliciting
business In Portland, and a denuncia
tion of those solicitors wTo had sought
advertising outside the city with the
argament that the Elkl were to benetU
directly.
The sentiment of the Ad Club was
further reflected yesterday when that
body heartily applauded the announce

a programme bearing no advertise
ments. Traaaportaltoa Com pa ales .Solicited.
In plte of the "contract which the
publishers hnve with the Elks It seems
hat nearly every transportation com
pany In the city has been solicited for
advertising. Invariably the agents have
been tefused.- The Portland Railway.
Light 4c Power "Company, which ls a
member of the Retail .Merchants' Asso

The terms of the contract allowed the
publishers to solicit the Commercial
Club, but C C. Chapman, manager of
the promoiion bureau, refused to do
business with them.
"The programme should be required
to stand on Its own merits." said Mr.
Chapman yesterday. "I think "the Elks
did right In denying the publishers the
right to solicit business In Portland.
The, people of Portland should help, and
have helped, the Klks In many ways.
This convention will be the biggest
thing ever attempted In Portland, and
the Elks are to be glverurredtt for en

big show. t
"I believe that the various smaller
communities In the state are willing
ami eager to help PorfNuid In taking
care of the Elks when they come here,
and If any complaint Is to be made
against the programme It could bo
made only on the score that Its pur
poses are misunderstood. If the com

Portland understand that .by advertis

not helping the Elks nor Portland, and
that It Is purely a business proposition
on the part of the publishers. I don't

ARGUMENT ENDS III
BURT H1GKS HEARING
Case Wil Go to Jury When
Judge" Gatens Finishes
Instructions. :
MALARKEY SCORES DAVIS
and Daughter . of Defendant
S-heil Tears as Attorney Plead
Cause of Slayer Seir
Defence Is Contention.
The case of the state against Burt
Hicks, proprietor of an open-shop ma
chine shop, who stands accused of flrst
degree murder for the killing of W. A.
Wortman. a striker and ficketer. last
November, will go to the jury In Judge
Gatens' department of the Circuit Court
this morning. All that remalns-ls the
Instructing of the Jury. This will oc
cupy probably half an hour.
Arguments were concluded yester
day. Attorneys Malarkey and Logan
taking up the entire day on behalf of
the defendant and Deputy District At
torney Fiugerald closing for the state
at a night session. Special Prosecu
tor Davla opened for the prosecution
Tuesday.
Mrs. Hicks and her four daughters,
the oldest 27 and the youngest not
more than S or 9, were presentjduring
Mr. Malarkey's address. The defend
ant's wife and oldest daughter have
attended court every day since the com
mencement of the trial. One of the
younger girls broke Into quiet sobs
once yesterday and Mrs. Hicks' eyes
were dim with tears many times, but
there waa an absence of dramatic at
tempt. '
Lawyer Pleada Self-befeaae.
Basing his address on : declarations
that the defendant shot in self-defense
and aa the culmination of months of
dread and apprehension and that con
viction would mean -resumption of the
lawlessness of the striking machinists,
Mr. Malarkey occupied nearly rive
hours with his argument on behalf of
Hicks yesterday afternoon. Carefully
and painstakingly he went over the
evidence in support of his contention
that there was ample ground for ap
prehension on the part of his client.
In conclusion he declared that It was
a physical Impossibility for the tragedy
to have occurred is described by union
men. Wortman's companions on the
nicht'of the homicide.
"Ulcks was alone when the tight
started and there were three in Wort
man's party. Ask yourselves which
was the most likely to start the trou
ble," said the attorney for the defense.
"Does Itseem natural that Wortman.
when attacked, would go directly away
from his friends, as the state's wit
nesses say he did. If he was the victim
of such a terrific onslaught as they
have described, how could he possibly
have got over the step leading into the
alcove In his desperate efforts --to get
away without falling in a heap?
Testimony All Corroborated.
"The empty shell was found Inside the
store. You have been shown that It
would be Impossible for it to bo there
had the shooting occurred as contend
ed by trie private prosecutor. 'The
guilty fleeVwhen no man . pursuetU."
Take this into consideration when you
remember that Votruba and Huber, two
of the plcketers. ran away Immedi
ately after the shot was fired. Would
they have done so had their man been
In the right? Everything fits in per
fectly with the theory of the defense.
The testimony of Mr. Hicks IS corrobo
rated at every turn."
Mr. Malarkey was even less merciful
with Special Prosecutor Davis than was
Mr. Logan, who preceded him. Times
Innumerable he declared that Mr. Davis
had been guilty of trickery and chlcan
erv in the handling of the case. In
bitter language the attorney for the
defense complained of the District -Attorney's
office .having been turned over
to the Machinists' L'nlon and two pri
vate prosecutors. W. M. Davis and John
A. Jeffrey, to bring about the convic
tion of Hicks by hook or crook. He
wrathfully denounced Insults which he
said had been offered by Private Prose
cutor Davis to women called as wit
nesses for the defense. He branded the
tactics of the plcketers as a "reign of
terror" and went carefully over every
Incident about which evidence was re
ceived to prove the correctness of Wis
use of the term.
. Special Proaerutor Scored.
Special Prosecutor Davis. Mr. Malar
key declared, wanted the lifeblood of
Hicks to satisfy the greedy appetites of
his clients. He had no quarrel with
unions, he reiterated several times, but
Insisted that their strikes be conducted
according to law. He expressed a be
lief that Mr. Davis was acting hypocrit
ically In seeking to Justify the acts of
the union men. The private prosecutor
wanted to be able to strut around the
Labor Temple as the man who convicted
Hicks and secure personal injury cases
on a 60 per cent basis, Mr, Malarkey
said. .
"These strong arm tactics have
brought unions Into disrepute through
out the length and breadth of the
land." said the attorney for tho de
fense. ' "A verdict of acqultal In this
case would be the beat thing that
coukl happen In the Interests of or
ganized labor. I glory 1 in the pluck
of Emll Schmidt and John Meier, two
of the machinists we called as wit
nesses. They fought back when at
tacked. Mr. Davis toM you In his
opening statements about thugs hav
ing been Imported by the shop pro
prietors. You haWe heard not a sylla
ble of evidence In support of It. It Is
not true."
Fraud Charge Heard.
Sir. Malarkey here diverged to de
clare that the District Attorney's of
fice bad been Insincere In the prose
cution of pickets arrested for as
saults on strikebreakers. He charged
that faulty Indictments had been
drawn purposely and that after one
had been prosecuted In a half-hearted
way and acquitted, the Indictment
against the other was gladly dismissed.
He declared that the District Attorney
plays politics in preference to doing his
duty. The attorney recalled the admis
sion of O. B. Raser. one of the chief
witnesses for the state, which came
after more than a quarter of an hour
of persistent questioning, that be and
Eugene Huber, another eye witness of
the killing, had left the state to avoid
testifying before tha grand Jury. He
recalled also that these men and John
Votruba. another important witness,
were In the office of Special frote
cutor Davis when the Inquest was
going on and were not produced de
spite demands for their presence.
"Men afflicted with epilepsy are
normal In strength between spells,"
argued Mr. Malarkey. "How did Hicks
know that Wortman waa an epileptic?
There was no sign hung around his
nerk.
Wortman Weapon Hinted.
"All this defendant knew "was that
a man weighing 21S pounds was at
tacking him. His mind flashed back
over the history of the strike and
when he saw Wortman reach for his
side pocket he believed his life was In
danger. He Bhot-and he was Justified
In doing so. No one knows that Wort
man did not have a weapon. There' was
ample opportunity to take 1t off his
body. Witnesses are agreed on that.
We are willing to admit for the sake
of argument1 that Hicks had seven
bullets In the gun when he killed
Wortman.' If the fact that he had two
extra clips full of bullets is proof, as
claimed by Mr. Davis, that he was go
ins to war, why did he not continue
shooting? 'There were still' three
pickets on the walk close to him."
The belief was expressed by Mr.
Malarkey that Victor Nealond. a pick
eter. had been beaten "up because he
had warned Hicks of impending
danger before' the homicide and be
cause he was too friendly to the de
fense after the killing. The striking
men were insatiable, he declared, and
would not hesitate to stretch Hicks
neck by perjured testimony. Many of
them were fanatics, he said.
The attorney went over every inci
dent of violence and the use of abusive
language by the pickets with which
Wortman was connected and urged
that all the witnesses for the defense
could not be mistaken. He recalled
threats said to have been made by
Wortman against Hicks. Speaking of
A. Buehler, a union plcketer who
swore that he was the man who par
ticipated, in many of the incidents and
not the dead man. Mr. Malarkey said
that had Buehler been killed Wortman
would have been the substitute.
Banfleld and Dnvla Clash.
Mr. Davis was away during a great
part of his opponent's address and
collided with M. C. Banfleld, former
president of the Employers' Associa
tion, in the corridor. Mr. Banfleld took
the private prosecutor to task for
having Injected his name into the trial
of the case and a wordy battle ensued
in which Mr. Davis was 'called an
ambulance chaser and grafter. The
special prosecutor retorted by saying
that Mr. Banfleld is the most despised
man in Portland and by accusing him
of burning surplus slabwood to keep
up prices.
Logan Scores Davis.
In the opening arguments for the de
fense Mr. Logan devoted a great deal
of his time to stinging criticism of
Special Prosecutor Davis. He took up
the arguments of the attorney for the
state one by one and endeavored to
show- that the prosecution had ap
pealed to the passions and prejudices
of the Jurors rather than to their com
mon sense and Intelligence. He ridi
culed the assertion of the private pro
secutor that love of Justice and not de
sire for financial recompense had
brought him into the rase. In ve
hement langyage he denounced Mr.
Davis as a persecutor. Ho recalled
the suppression of evidence by the state
and several times called his adversary
a liar in controverting statements made
by Mr. Davis in his talk to the Jury
Tuesday.
The plcketers, Mr. Logan declared,
had driven the defendant to despera
tion. Reports of assaults upon his
workmen arrrf those of other shops, the
reception'' of a letter in which the
writer declared he was -divulging a
plot to dynamite the machine shops
of the city and murder the shop pro
prietors and strikebreakers, the mass
picketing of the plants by foul-mouthed
strikers and frequent threats of death
or great bodily harm had preyed on
the mind of Hicks, Mr. Logan declared,
to such an extent that he was startled
bv a shadow and went about In con
stant dread of being killed from am
bush. lawyer Defines Liberty.
The attorney laid much stress on
the fact that Hlcka had gone to the
police officials before he started carry
ing a pistol and had been assured that,
under the circumstances, he was not
likely to be arrested for carrying- con
cealed weapons.
"Liberty must not be confused with
license." Mr. Logan said. Liberty Is
the free use of our time within the
ordered course of social well doing. It
ls to choose our own labor without aid
or assistance of anyone else and our
relations with labor without such In
terference, "It ls the right to be free,
not to do nothing, but to be the sole
arbiter of what we do and what we
leave undone. Each man has a right
to make his living in his own way.
"We are all wise after the event. It
is a vastly different thing to sit In
Judgment upon the case. A man could
discover America In a rowboat after
1492. I could tell Napoleon how he
lost the battle of Waterloo. I can tell
how General Lee could have saved the
day at Gettysburg. It 4s a vastly dif
ferent thing to be placed In a situation
where one must act on appearances
when one's life is in apparent danger.
Hicks' Face ?ot Criminal.
"Look upon the face of Burt Hicks.
He Is In evidence before you. Never
did 1 plead for a face that I am more
willing to show. If murder is there
I am to learn the mark lines of the
murderer anew. If the assassin Is In
that rugged face then commend me to
the. look of the assassin.
"A man has a right to defend him
self from great bodily harm and to
resist a conspiracy to inflict upon him
personal violence, even to the extent
of taking the life of his assailant. In
dications of, violence from an Individual
who has previously -threatened will
Justify defensive and preventive ac
tion. When human laws do not pro
tect us against Injury we'appeal to our
Instincts. Self preservation is nature's
great law and It overrides all other
laws.
"The strikers say they did not mean
harm to the defendant. How was he
to know this in the light 'at their ac
tions? He was attending to his busi
ness under the law and harming no
man. The right of self-defense was
made for the living. It was not meant to
adorn a funeral, but prevent It. It Is
written In the heart of the man plainly
and Indelibly."

The latest campaign document to be
circulated in the Senatorial contest is a
letter from tho farmers' National com
mittee on postal reform, in which every
farmer in Oregon is urged to vote for
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., for renomination
as Senator on the ground that "for the
first time in history the farmers' move
ment for a general parcels post has a
loyal friend and earnest worker for
the general parcels post, or postal ex
press, as chairman of the Senate poat
office committee."
Defeat of Mr. Bourne, declares the
document, will retard the movement
and be "published all over the country
as proof that the farmers of Oregon
were not so much in favor of the par
cels post as their representatives were
claiming."
The letter urges every farmer in
Oregon Ttr make a personal effort to
line up the farming people to stand for
the retention of Mr. Bourne as Sena
tor and as chairman of the postoffice
committee of the Senate.
When the letter was shown to Ben
Selling, who is opposing, Mr. Bourne
for the Senatorslnp, yesterday, he re
marked: ;
"Without 'doubt that is a" campaign
letter Inspired by the Bourne people.
If Senator Bourne is so anxious to
have parcels post, why has he waited
until a campaign is ,on to show his
friendship for the measure? He has
been a Senator for almost six years
and it would seem that he could have
done something in that lensfth of time
for the parcels ,.post had he so dis

A Remedy That Costs Noth

Naphthol, also a powerful antiseptic, a
combination is formed which destroys

nutriment, and thusscreates a clean
and healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of new
germs. '
Pilocarpine is a well - known agent
for restoring: the hair to its natural
color, where the loss of color has been
due to a disease. Yet it ls not a col

The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Bctn
Naphthol and Pilocarpine, combined
