REED SAYS HE TOLD
OF PLOT 10 BRIBE
Secret of Who Bared Scheme
of Administration Given Out
to Free Maddux.
COLLIER - AFFIRMS TALE
Deputy District Attorney Asserts He
Forced ex-Policeman to Act as
He Did After "Getting
Wind" of Scheme.
The Question of "who tipped the Dis
trict Attorneys office" to the plan of
the city administration to bribe Deputy
District Attorney Collier was answered
last night by Frank Reed, one of the
men who were commissioned by Mayor
Rushlight to offer the bribe.
Reed said that he was the one who
told Deputy District Attorney Collier
of the plot against him. His story was
confirmed by Collier. Both declared
that Plainclothes Officer lladdux, the
other man who was commissioned to
pay the bribe, had nothing to do with
the betrayal of the plans to Collier.
Reed, after refusing to tell of his
part in the affair during the trials of
the Mayor and cniei esiover on cnaiBM
of bribery and a charge from the "gen.
eral nuisance" statute, last night de
cided that he would free Maddux from
suspicion of being the man who
double-crossed" the city administra
tion. He said he would write a, letter
to Mayor Rushlight and Chief of Police
Slover today, telling of the facts In
the affair, and removing blame from
Maddux. Collier said that he also
would make a clean breast of the
fai-is In Maddux' behalf, and clear
the suspendd plainclothes officer from
the suspicion.

"Collier called me into his office and
told me that he had part of the truth
of the attempt to bribe him," said Reed
"He showed me, step by step, a number
of our movements, and told me that if
I did not tell him the rest of it he
would prosecute vigorously the case
against me. When I saw that he had it
on me, I came through and told him
all about it. He cautioned me not to
tell Maddux, who, ho said, was too
square a man to stand In. So I kept
It quiet until It was all over."
Deputy District Attorney Collier was
Informed yesterday that Reed had told
of his share In the plot.
"I knew a large part of the plbt
through my own sources," said Col
lier, "and when Reed came in. three or
four days before the bribe was offered,
I made him tell me the rest. I
cautioned him not to tell Maddux, be
cause I thought Maddux would not go
ahead with it. Using the information
Reed gave me, I was able to forestall
the bribery plot."
Baty Freed of Suspicion.
C. E. Baty, captain of detectives, will
also be exculpated by the statement of
Reed, who said that Baty had nothing to
do with the "tipping" of the District
Attorney's office. A suspicion that
gained credence and led toVevere
criticism of Baty followed the dis
closure of the plot of Mayor Rush
light and Chief Slover. Attorney Dan
Powers also was suspected of being
the mysterious "tipster," who gave
away the city administration's plot to
discredit the District Attorney's office.
Following an unsuccessful effort of
Maddux, plainclothes man, and ex
Policeman Reed to bribe District At
torney Collier with $400 to dismiss an
indictment against them, charging them
with agreeing to accept a $50 bribe
from Madge Morgan, a masseuse, who
was suspected of selling liquor with
out a license, efforts were made to
find who had told the plans of the city
administration to Collier. Mayor Rush
light, through Chief Slover, and Cap
tain of Detectives Baty and Detectives
Smith and Haramersley, had arranged
to arrest Collier Immediately upon his
receipt of the bribe, which Reed and
Maddux were to give him.
Collier, with his advance news of the
plan, secured the services of several
deputy sheriffs and arrested the Mayor,
the Chief of Police, the detectives and
Maddux and Reed, charging them with
the attempt to bribe a public official.
Both that charge and a later one under
the "nuisance" law recently were dis
missed in Circuit Court.
TRAVIS TO STAND TRIAL
Alleged' "Fake" Doctor Enters Plea
of Xot Guilty.
Truthful Travis, an alleged "fake"
doctor, who is under indictment on a
charge of advertising to cure certain
diseases, was arraigned before Circuit
Judge McGinn yesterday and pleaded
not guilty. On his promise to appear
for trial when wanted Judge McGinn
allowed him to go on his own recog
nizance. Travis was arrested In Ta
coma last week and Sheriff Stevens
was forced to make a special trip to
that city to bring him to Portland.
Travis told the judge that he Is with
out funds to hire an attorney or fur
nish bail.
With the approval of Deputy District
Attorney Michelet the Judge gave a pa
role to George Troyer, a youth about
18 years of age. who was Indicted a
few months ago for passing a worth
less check for $52.50 on the United
States National Bank. Troyer had been
In the County Jail since May. He en
tered a plea of guilty before Judge
Kavanaugh some time ago. but the lat
ter was In a quandary to decide what
should be done with the boy. Judge
McGinn asked the young man to repay
the money, but did not exact any def
inite promise.
On the showing that they had all
been in the County Jail continuously
since June 23, Judge McGinn also re
leased three women on recognizance.
They were Mrs. Annie Calkins, charged
with contributing to the delinquency of
a minor, but not under Indictment, and
Mrs. Louise Clauset and Lola Bowers,
held as witnesses in a police case
against the proprietor of a rooming
house. The court thought they had
been In jail long enough.
FERGUSON SRESTRAINED
Insurance Official Halted In Plans
by Portland Concern.
Circuit Judge Galloway, of Marlon
County, has issued a temporary In
junction restraining Insurance Com
missioner Ferguson from further inter
fering with the business of the Ameri
can Life & Accident Insurance Com
pany, a Portland concern, of which
Lionel R. Webster is president. Con
tending that a large portion of the as
sets listed by the company were not
acceptable. Insurance Commissioner
Ferguson suspended the license of the
corporation last May.
Since that time no new business has
been written. Judge weDster siaiea
then that the company would shortly
be able to comply with all the de
mands of Mr. Ferguson, but the state
ment Is now advanced by the officials
of the company that it is impossible
to satisfy the Commissioner. Accord
ing to the contentions of the company,
the assets objected to were first mort
gages on Improved Oregon and Wash
ington real estate. The capital of the
company, amounting to $100,000 and
fully paid up, is stated to have been
similarly invested.

Olty Health Officer Gives Strict Or

dren only Case Here.
Following the statement made only a
few days ago that Portland had been
clean of infantile paralysis for some
years comes the news of what is al
most certain to be a case of the dis
ease, the little 2-year-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. M. Freedman, 673 First street,
being taken seriously ill yesterday
with all the symptoms of poliomyelitis.
Dr Otto S. Binswanger, who has the
case in charge, said yesterday that
although he would not state positively
that the child had infantile Paralysis,
he is almost certain that such is the
case.
City Health Officer Wheeler was noti
fied at once, and sent Dr. William
House to make a report to him. He
also gave strict orders that the child
be isolated from any other children.
"I have been rather expecting an out
break of this kind for the past few
days," said Dr. Wheeler; "in tact, ever
since I heard that Los Angeles had lost
over 100 Infants from this disease dur
ing his present Summer.
Medical Science Poxaled.
"The pity of It Is that so far medical
science has discovered no serum or any
means of curing the disease. Four or
five years ago the specific organism
was discovered by Professor Flexner, if
I remember aright, but. although many
physicians and scientists have since
then been devoting their time to the
discovery of a cure or a serum, so far
none has been successful.

national Hygienic Conference, to be
held at Washington, D. J., una viuoo

a case where the muscles of the throat
alone were affected, the child having
the full use of both arms ana iesa mi

a rhlM mav be paralyzed on one side
of his face or down- one arm.
"As a rule a child rarely survives,
except in the mildest of cases.
vitM Add tn Trouble.
"To add t.o the difficulty of the situ
ation, children through teething or oth
er mild ill-health suffer from convul
sive fits. 'which, In results, are some
what similar, making it difficult to de
termine for certain at the outset.
"The paralysis comes on suddenly.
The child may be walking along, or
running about happily, when it will
suddenly begin to limp, or to feel a
contraction of the muscles in the arm.
From that time the disease takes a
rapid hold."
Yesterday information was received
from New York that 19 cases of infan
tile paralysis were under the observa
tion of the medical authorities in New
York. Since the outbreak reached epi
demic proportions, six deaths have oc
curred. A peculiar circumstance con
nected with the cases is 'that 90 per
cent, of them occurred in the children
of foreigners living on the East Side.

No, Indeed. Why he'd have preferred
losing it. His greatest ambition was
to be considered a devil. People would
hitch themselves onto his coattails at
meal time and he'd feed a" multitude.
He'd pack an automobile full of people
he'd never met or heard of and take
them out to the beach resorts In Cali
fornia. Naturally they'd all have what
they wanted at his expense, and he'd
think he was a regular sport. Well he
was in a 70-year-old way.
"But I never participated in his near
devilish times. I had my mother to
look out for and I've a dear little
sister. I sent my mother riding near

and showered her with flowers and the
things she -needed and loved. Any girl
would have done just as Idld. If
she didn't she'd be a fool."
Alice's eyes grew bluer and. bluer as
her indignation increased, and her final
"she'd be a fool if she didn't" was
ominous in its tensity. .
MarrlaBe Never Promlned."
"I never once told Mr. Nappin I'd
marry him," resumed Alice putting her
trim well-shod number six and one
halts on the lower rung of a chair and
studying her patent tips reflectively.
"The man has absolutely no case. If
you'd see a rainfall of dollars and
everybody was grabbing some, wouldn't
you try for a pocket full? Well that's
all I did. He was a veritable Santa
Claus for a half dozen women. I was
Just one of the half dozen. He wanted
me to marry him, however, and when
I wouldn't he sat down and added up
all his expenses, whether or not I had
figured In them, and Is charging it
all to my account. He never spent
anything like $17,000 on me, and I'm
going to take great joy In making
him prove it."
I asked Alice how she spent her time.
' "Oh, it spends Itself she said wearily."
This is the first time I ever was in a
Jail. I have read all the papers and
some magazines that came out the

Just then the matron was called away
by a loudly-rung gong, and hurried
back in a minute to say that Alico
was going to San Francisco.
"I was in hopes I'd not be taken
there," she sighed and a shadow flick

rose, her splendid young body tower

IRISHMAN'S CURE SOUGHT
Carnegie Interested In Herb Remedy
for Cancer.
DUBLIN, Aug. '17. (Special.) Act
ing on the advice of Lady Aberdeen,
Andrew Carnegie is undertaking an in
teresting inquiry in. which an old Irish
man named Thomas Hoban, a native
of Ballyhauris in County Mayo, is
chiefly concerned.-
This old man claims to have a secret
remedy for cancer which he has em
ployed for quite a number of years with
considerable success. As he has now
reached an age when he may pass
away at any time, it Is felt that he
should not carry his secret to the
grave with him.
The remedy has herbs for Its base,
but there is nothing about it of faith
healing or other supersitions which
were rampant in Ireland at one time.
The herb is a secret passed on from
father to son for generations and there
is local evidence to show that people
have come from all parts of the British
Isles' to submit to Hoban's treatment
with the happiest results.
Even medical men have been obliged
to admit that the dreadful disease has
in many cases yieldod to Hoban's herbal
treatment. The old man has never
wished to have his secret exploited for
commercial purposes and he Is now long
past the age of eager dollar ambitions.
Local believers In his secret communi
cated with Lady Aberdeen, who In turn
communicated with the laird of Skibo.
The latter has appointed a commit
tee of lnjuiry into Hoban's claims and
if they can be established there is no
doubt he will receive a handsome sum
for his cancer remedy.
AMERICANS STUDY IRELAND
Astor Family Boating on, the Shan'
non Said to Be Infatuated.
DUBLIN. Aug. 17-(SpecIal.) Amer
ican tourists appear to be exploring
Ireland this year with an assiduity
hitherto unknown. The waters of the
Boyne and the scene of the battle of
Aughrlm, where James I cut such an
inglorious figure before William's
army, seem to have a special attrac
tion just now. This, no doubt, Is due
to the publicity which the home rule
campaign has brought to this historic
neighborhood.
"Killarney's lakes and dells" receive
comparatively little consideration this
year and the general impression left
on Irishmen is that the American has
come over specially prepared to study
history and give scenery a second place.
Mrs. Waldorf Astor and ner sister-
in-law, Mrs. Spender-Clay, have been
entertaining a boating party on the
Shannon and with the aid of a local
guide, whose historical knowledge Is
more imaginative than real, have been
much absorbed. In the historic scerfec
which fire the patriotism of the Orange
men on the "glorious Twelfth of July.
It is understood that Mrs. Spender
Clay does not altogether share the
politics of her father or brother as far
as Ireland is concerned, and during
this boating trip she was heard to say
that if she had her way she would never
ask for anywhere else to live but Ire
land.
DEMURRAGE HEARING SET
On September 16 Shippers and
Railroads Must Meet.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Aug. 13. (Spe
cial.) The railroads and shippers of
the state were notified yesterday by
the State Public Service Commission of
the reciprocal demurrage rules hear
ing, which will be held in the assem
bly rooms of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce on September 16.

framed recently by the Commission to
give '- shippers rights and redresses
similar to those obtained by railroads

uniform demurrage rules. vigorous
objection is made to the rules by the
railroads, and practically all have filed
formal complaints setting forth vari
ous grounds, chiefly unnecesslty and
lmDracticability.
The result of the hearing is of vital
interest to every shipper.
The rules provide, among other
things, that railroads must furnish
shippers with car or cars within ten
days after application; they must ac
cept proffered freight immediately,
and move same at the rate of at least
50 miles per day, and must give noti
fication to consignee of arrival of cars

however, fortunately show how easily
the number of four. five, or even eight
member constituencies can be increased.
For these schedules set forth two series
of constituencies, created for different
purposes. Thus, in one scohiu.b me
county of Antrim is divided into four

of Antrim figures as one constituency,

schedule provides ideal constituencies
into which to introduce the propor
