Intoxicated on Streetcars.
SEATTLE. Wieh. July 10. United
States District Judge Cornelius H.
Hanford"s alleged Intemperate habits
vers the subject of the afternoon ses
sion of the House Judiciary subcommit
tee miiT witnesses being examined.
Miss Adella Parker, a high school
teacher, member of the bar and editor
of a woman suffrage paper, swore -that
she had seen Judge Hanford lntoxi'
rated on the streetcars on two occa
slons, which she described with much
particularity.
1 H. McMahon of Balem. Or., an
nn-hardist. formerly an editor and
lawyer, testified that he bad appeared
In Hanford'a court In Tacoma 10 or
1? days and that Hanford treated the
attorneys of his court In an intolerant
and discourteous manner. Witness
swore that on one occasion while an
attorney was arguing a motion, the
Judge fell asleep, with his bead thrown
back and his mouth open.
After the attorney had proceeded
about five minutes, witness said, the
situation became embarrassing, and
the attorney discontinued. After about
ten minutes, witness testified, the
Judge awoke, and the attorney began
his argument all over, witness iesu
fled:
Judge's Snore Audible.
"The Judge awoke with a snore aud
ible all over the courtroom. He went
to sleep in the afternoon during the
time I appeared in his court. The
Judge snores when he sleeps. I think
he falls asleep because or drinKing in
toxicants. I saw him drinking in I
saloon at the lunch hour.
"On the day when he slept so long
the Judge had taken two drinks De
tore going on the bench. I have seen
him on the bench when his mind was
not in normal condition and the cause
was evidently use of alcoholic stimu
lants. He never went on the bench In
the afternoons without having some
liquor. His general symptoms were
those of a man not drunk, but who bad
been drinking.
John C Higgins. a Seattle attorney,
testified that he had never seen Han
ford when there was the slightest sus
picion of intoxication.
J. It, Zimmerman, sergeant of police,
had never seen Judge Hanford Intoxi
cated, but on two occasions had seen
the Judge apparently dazed, "walking
along like a man who didn't know ex
actly where he was at."
Pollecmaa la Witness.
George Day. a policeman, had seen
Hanford late one night, "laboring from
exhaustion, illness or possibly drink.
The Judge leaned up against a bulld
. ing two or three times in going 40
. feet."
.-Witness testified that the -Judge
walked like one who steps with no
certainty. If the Judge had been a
voung or middle-aged man. witness
would have called bis ailment lntoxl
cation.
H. O. Fuhrberg, . liquor dealer, tes
tified to seeing V Judge apparently
drunk on the stree
W. R. Meade, a policeman, testified
that he had seen Hanford "when he
might have been under the Influence
a little bit." The policeman denied
having been Interviewed since receiv
ing his subpena. He was notified that
be would be recalled tomorrow.
Lawyer's Testimony Heard.
Samuel S. Langley. a lawyer, de
fcribed four occasions on which he had
jeen Hanford apparently intoxicated.
George M. Jacobs, a real estate deal
er, testified to seeing Hanford appar
ently intoxicated on five occasions.
E. C. Merriam. a timber cruiser, tea
titled to seeing Hanford apparently in.
toxlcated on two occasions.
John F. Niemann, manager of a de
partment store, testified that he had
seen Hanford half a dosen times in
what be supposed at the time was a
state of intoxication. Since reading
the testimony in the hearing, however,
he believed that the Judge's condition
might have been brought about by
overwork.

tlon Company of California. The bid
was accepted for laying what Is
termed heavy gravel bitulthlc The
price bid for that kind of paving by
the successful firm was 11.75 a square
yard of finished paving.
There was an unusually large num
ber of bidders for the work here and
for a large variety of paving. The
Council adopted the gravel bltullthlc.
One of the leading Inducements for the
selection of this kind was the easy
accessibility here of excellent gravel
for the purpose.
The area to be paved Is a little more
than 25,000 square yards and the com
pleted work, including curbs and
drainage, makes the total costs of the
Improvement in excess of 152.000. This,
with the $60,000 being expended this
year for the installation of a sewer
system, makes the total cost of public
Improvements for the city for this year
exceed $112,000.
CLEMENT HITS OREGON

CAUSE OF "CROOKEDNESS."
Postofflce Inspector, Here on Trail

"Blue Sky Law" Passed.
SALEM. Or., July 10. (Special.)
That Oregon- is the stamping ground
for crooked promoters from other
states who make it a practice to come
to this state to organize fake com
panies because the laws of Oregon do
not gtve the state authority to look
into the affairs of corporations is one
of the declarations made by E. C
Clement. United .States Postofflce In-BDector.

Company and the Oregon-Washington
Trust Company, In which these com
Danies deliberately led him Into a trap
to secure the money ana oranaing mm
as a "sucker" in letters which passed
back and forth between those inter
ested.
"I am now on the trail of certain
men who did not dare organize in the
state where they live, but have come
to Oregon to tile tneir papers ana
have already floated millions oi I0I
lars of worthless stock all over the
West," lie declared. .
"The Columbia River Orchards Com-
oany affair furnishes a good illustra
tion of the way in wnicn graiiers
flock to this state to float their
crooked enterprises. These people
had to have a dummy corporation to act
as a trustee. They couldn't organize
It under the laws of Washington, so
they came to Portland and organized
the Oregon-Washington Trust Cora
nanv under the Oregon laws. This
company was supposed to hold $125
worth of securities for every $100
worth of the obligation of the Colum
bia. River Orchards Company. When
the crash came it developed that their
alleged securities were absolutely
worthless. Even the office furniture
was not paid for and the stenographer
was cheated out or ner salary. xne
nubile waa fleeced out of about two
and a quarter millions of dollars on
this graft, which would not nave Deen

providing for the supervision of cor
porations, such as the proposed blue-
sky law, which I earnestly hope may
be adopted. 1 do not Know oi any

act to give the state control of crooked

Investment for
Visiting Elks
I do not want to bother you with" business while you are here.
. I am inserting this advertisement, just once in each paper, because

kind, while you are here
I wish you could come and live with us, all of you.
"Westover Terrace is view property. -It overlooks the entire city.
It is being made to order. That is to say, it was a big hill and is
being brought down to grade for building purposes. No street
iwill have over an 8 grade. Every site is level and so arranged
that no building can ever obstruct the scenic view before you.
There is a territory of 10,000 square miles visible from Westover
Terraces, including five snow-capped mountain peaks, as well as
200 miles of the Cascade Range.
Hard-surface pavements, concrete walks and curbs, water, gas and
electric mains, sewers, parkings, rose bushes, ornamental trees
and retaining walls, wherever necessary, will be installed. A large
. part of the work is already' done.
It is a ride of 11 minutes by automobile and about 18 minutes by,
streetcar. . Cars will run to the center of the property.
The best people "of Portland are buying for permanent homebuild
ing in Westover Terraces and while we prefer builders to invest
ors, we cannot discount the investment advantages.
If you will telephone to me personally, I will accompany you to
Westover Terraces any time that it is convenient for you.

advice regarding Portland realty, investments and I am certain

apiary here and who is taking his bees
to the burnt-over areas where the logs
have been cut and where during the
past few years forest fires hav swept
over big districts, leaving the ' land
clear of underbrush, and where the Are
weed blossoms nearly the whole Sum
mer. "The lire weed produces more honey
and better," says Mr. Dakin. "than any
other flower of Oregon. The appetis
ing sweet that the industrious insects
gather from it is clear and of a pleas
ing, delicate flavor. . At present my
bees are only working on the white
clover llelds of the lower valley. They
have become sluggish and only secure
enough food to feed the young. When
I get them out in the wilds I expect
them to make the hives look like sky
scrapers, and I will be able to supply
the local demand."
Mr. Dakin until this season has never
devoted much of his time to his bees
as honey gatherers, but haa kept the
apiary principally as a queen produc
lag colony.
This Spring he haa sold
hundreds of the queens for hives of
distant states.. ' ,
