COWMAN JOY
HUES GRAND JURY
Savmill Man of Estacada In-
its Deal With Streetcar
Company.
LITTERS ARE REPRODUCED
tarchase of Ties for Traction Cor-
fporation Intimated City Legis
lator "Gives the tie" and
Blames Political Enemies.
Charees that Allan R. Joy, Council
man from the Seventh Ward, has been
engaged in the purchase of ties from
' a mill at Estacada. inferentially for use
by the Portland Railway, Light & Pow
er Company, have been laid before the
gand jury by E. M. Miller, a sawmill
man of Estacada. The serious nature
of the charges, if proved, lies in a char
ter prohibition against members of the
Council entering into contracts in
whtch public service corporations are
interested. The penalty is automatic
forfeiture of office.
Miller asserts that Joy had been try
ing for a month to negotiate with him
for the purchase of large quantities of
ties 8t far below the market. He pre
sented a bulk of documentary evi
dence relating to the transaction. One
of the items was a letter to himself
from E. D. Ellison, president of the
Estacada State Bank, saying:
"Estacada. Or., Aug. 2. 1912. E. M.
Miller, Estacada. Or. Dear Sir: I have
been to see Woods and some of the
nthr narties in the P. R.. U & P. Co.,
and they all tell me that they have let
the contract with Allan K. Joy to iur
nish ties for the company for the next
two years.
'Allen' la Referred To.
"I then went to Allen and had a long
talk with him, and I have done this: I
have looked around and find that 19.50
is the top price on ties; at least sev
eral contracts have been let for them
at this price in the last few days, de
livered on the Southern Pacific, and
some have been let at 9. Now, you
would have to pay the freight In nere,
.and this would be SI. leaving JS.SO on
cars for the ties. If you sell there at
SS.Sn von are better off, because tney
are accepted and counted there, and no
further comeback on the ties. iney
will pay for them soon after they have
been cut and delivered.
"He will give a contract for 15.000
ties at the least, and may give a little
larger one. And in addition to this he
will agree to take tne poies irom you
too. Now he wants you to come in on
Sunday and see him. So I would advise
you to come and see him at once and
try to close a deal. You can get him
on the phone when you come in, and
then he will see you. You will find him
at his home, so look in the phone dook
for Allan R. Joy and call him up.
"Should you decide to come in tomor
row, you would get him at the Cham
ber of Commerce. When you come in
tell him that you can get a better price
than he was talking to you about, and
try him for S8.75, although he will not
pay this amount for the ties, and says
he will pay $8.30 for an order. This is
about all he will pay, I know, ana you
better take the order at $8.50 and have
a stipulation In the contract that he
will make some advances or make pay
ment within, say. 15 days after ship
ment "I believe that this man Morrison
will go out to see the lumber next Mon
day, at least he thinks so now. Will
let you know later. Yours truly.
"W. D. J ELLISON.
"President Estacada State Bank."
Joy's Letter In CHed.
This was followed Immediately by a
letter from Joy, pursuing the subject
as follows:
Portland, Or.. Aug. S, 1912. Mr. E.
M Miller, Estacada. Or. Dear Sir: I
had a talk with Mr. Jellison yesterday
and I believe we can make some ar
rangement that will be satisfactory all
around; however. In order to do this,
you will have to come in Sunday and
call me up at my residence. Tabor 290.
I can place an order with you for some
cedar poles and some other stuff, and
In case we are able to do any busi
ness I can give you other orders from
time to time. I must make arrange
ments before next Sunday evening
with you or somebody else, and it is
for this reason 1 suggest tht you
come in Sunday morning. I am writ
ing you for the further reason that it
is possible that Mr. Jellison may not
get out this week, and the time may
run by. Very truly yours,
"ALLAN R. JOY."
Miller then' began Interesting him
self, he says, o learn why the railway
company, if It had anything to do with
the deal, was acting through Joy, in
stead of directly, as on former occa
sions, he having supplied many ties to
the company. One week after the first
letter Joy wrote again:
"Portland. Or.. Aug. 10. 1912. Mr. E.
M. Miller, Estacada, Or. Dear Sir: Not
having heard from you, and as you
have failed to come in on Thursday or
Friday, according to our agreement, i
am uncertain what to do in the mat
ter which we have so long discussed.
I don't want to make any arrangements
with anybody else that will shut you
out or disappoint you. if you have been
making plans to go ahead according to
our agreement, and, on the other hand,
I cannot afford to wait long, as it is
necessary that we get started at once.
I am now leaving here for Southern
Oregon and will return Monday after
noon, and by that time I hope you will
make arrangements to be here in per
son so that we may have a definite un
derstanding. I am sure I am able to do
better for you, everything considered,
than you can do elsewhere. Expect
ing an early visit from you, I remain,
very truly yours,
"ALLAN R. JOY."
Joy Gives the Lie.
Following this. Miller asked Joy for
a contract covering his proposals and
received one covering the purchase of
80.000 ties at SS.60 for the first 10,000
and S8.25 thereafter.
Councilman Joy denies that he has
any relations with the street railway
company In this connection, giving the
lie to a statement to that effect by
Banker Jellison. He prepared a state
ment yesterday which follows. Mr.
Jellison was reported to be away from
home when inquiry was made for him
at Estacada last night.
"The assumption on the part of any
one that I have had any kind of a deal
with the Portland Railway, Light &
Power Company regarding ties or any
thing else is totally without founda
tion." said Councilman Joy last night.
"I have no contract of any kind with
any local company, and none of my
clients have. I have never had any
kind of a business deal with the road.
I even have to pay my nickel like the
rest of 4people when I ride on their
cars. I also want to say that the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany has its own tiemill."
The published story contained sev
eral letters regarding the expected sale
of some ties cut by an Estacada lum
berman, these letters being dated in
the early Dart of August, and indlcat
ing that Mr. Joy was desirous of pur
chasing ties at a certain rate.
Ties Wanted for Shipment.
"At the time mentioned in these let
ters," continued Councilman Joy, "and
prior to that time, I was attorney for
some parties Interested in buying ties.
and they had made several contracts,
believing that the tie market was soon
to advance, and it was in furtherance
of these interests that I was acting,
While at this time I am not at liberty
to expose all the details and plans of
these clients of mine, I can say that
the product was intended for ship
ment. It is also true that the market
Drlce of ties has recently advanced.
"Any suggestion that the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company was
interested in any of these transactions
is absolutely untrue, and I never inti
mated to anybody in any way that such
was the case. Every business transac
tion of my life will bear the closest
scrutiny, and I shall make every effort
to discover what motive lies back of
this attack upon my official probity.
I am satisfied that this is but part of
the malicious campaign recently start
ed by personal enemies to discredit me
in the eyes of my constituents.
PEACH N ABLE TO WORK
POLICE OFFICER SHOT BY WIFE
6 0 DAYS AGO REPORTS.
Sergeant Who Withstood Bullet That
Parsed Through Brain Makes
Remarkable Recovery.

After Wonderful Recovery From
Wound.
months in a hospital from the effects
of a bullet passing entirely through
his brain, appeared at the police sta
tioln yesterday and announced that he
would resume his duties the first of
next month. His recovery, under the
circumstances, is said by surgeons to
be one of the most remarkable in
stances on record.
Sergeant Peachin was on the high
road to fortune, had just been pro
moted and had been admitted by the
Supreme Court to the practice of law,
when, last June, in a fit of hysteria,
his wife fired two shots Into his head
and then took her own life, in their
tenthouse at Wichita station. One bul
let barely penetrated the skull, but the
other, striking at the bridge of the
nose, destroyed the sight of one eye
and passed on through to within an
inch of the back of the head, where
it was found later after the skull had
been trepanned and the brain probed.
This in Itself is a rare operation.
which was handled successfully by Po
lice Surgeon Fred Ziegler. The bullet
had been located by an X-ray photo
graph. After Its removal, with the
prevention of resultant Infection, the
patient made a rapid and remarkable
recovery. Three elements were in his
favor, his vigorous constitution, the
fact that the weapon was of low power
and did not rupture the tissues exten
sively, and the fact that it did not
penetrate any of the most Important
brain centers.
Whether Sergeant Peachin will re
main sightless in the one eye Is still
a problem of which his surgeon hopes
to see a favorable solution. It Is not
known that the optic nerve was sev
ered.
Peachin was his old cheerful self
when greeting his brother officers yes
terday and reecived an enthusiastic
greeting. Except for his pallor, little
change could be observed. Even the
injured eye does not betray its condi
tion.
GRAND ARMY CHIEF HERE
Colonel Robert Mann Wood, of Chi
cago, Wrote First Constitution.
Colonel Robert Mann Wood, first ad
jutant and the man who wrote the
first constitution of the Grand Army
of the Republic was the guest of Sum
ner Post, at the hall on Grand avenue
and East Pine street, Saturday night.
He delivered an address to the com
rades of Sumner Post, telling them
about the organization of the Grand
Army of the Republic, closing by sing
ing, with fine effect, the song, "Illi
nois." Colonel Wood was given an
ovation at this meeting.
R. C Markee, commander of the
post, was adjutant of the Department
of Illinois many years ago, while Colo
nel Wood was department commander,
but they had not met for several years.
Colonel Wood has the original copy
of the first constitution of the Grand
Army of the Republic and jointly with
Dr. Stevenson he is considered one of
the founders. He is on his way to attend-
the Grand Encampment at Los
Angeles. Sunday he took a trip up the
Columbia River to see the mountains
he had heard so much about. He will
be in Portland this week. Chicago is
his home.

RHUS OFF
WITH HIS AIDES
Astoria Officials Sail for Scene
of Regatta by North
Bank Schooner.
C0STELL0 SENDS HIS CAR
Roy Frazier, Minneapolis Banker,
Declines Mr. Beall's Invitation
to Join Staff In Three Verses
of Apropos Poetry.
With song and with many a jest
the brave and unterrifled crew of Ad
miral John S. Beall, chief officer of the
annual Astoria regatta, "set sail" on
the North Bank, road yesterday aft
ernoon for the city that is to play
host during the next few days to the
sport-loving populace of the entire
Northwest.
It was a loyal and obedient- crew.
This was true, perhaps, for the rea
son that every man among them Is a
commissioned officer with full power
and nrivilesre of giving orders. Ordl
narv seamen have no place in Admiral
Beall's "navvle." The Admiral himself
was "stern and bold as he sat in tne
observation end of his private "cabin"
when the train departed the station.
His fellow officers gathered proudly
about him ready, each of them, and
willing to obey his every command.
Anions: the gallant crew are a num
ber of real, live sea-going sailors.
Others there are who at least' have
sailed the Pacific between Portland and
San Francisco, as the following list of
staff officers witnesses:

Coatrllo Extends Courtesy.
M. J. Costello. assistant general traf
fic manager of the Great Northern,
donated the use of his private car and
sent it down here from Seattle for the
accommodation of Admiral Beall. The
car was attached to the special train,
carrying the Admiral, his staff and in
vited guests. Every car or tne train
was a parlor car.
This courtesy by Mr. costello is much
appreciated and demonstrates his de
sire to help along the "live wires" and
to encourage a good thing.
It is reported that this particular
regatta is to be enlivened by a num
ber of special entertainments and
stunts" for the amusement of those
who attend and there is no doubt that
there will be something doing in As
toria for the next few days.
Frailer Replies In Verse.
Among those who were invited by
Admiral Beall to become members of
his staff was Ray Frazier, of Minne
apolis, wHo expressed his regrets in
the following "paroxysm:
I'd like to ship with you. old pal,
If you're to be the Admiral
I'd like to be a Captain, too,
AnH hawl out orders to the crew:
Just chuck the culvert game and squeal,
"I'm off to sea with old John Beall,
I'm oft to Zanzibar, Siam,
To China I don't give a damn
Where we do go.
We'd have our peg
Full to the brim of Haig ana Hair,
We'd limber up our dusty throats
And gurgle out the frisky notes
Of happiness. O, say, old top!
How I would line to snut up snop
And placard this old dump "I've gone"
Anil tag my suitcase "Oregon."
They used their heads when they picked you
To lead the squadron on review.
Tet though a rest my system needs,
I must sell culverts to tnese bweaes.
In spirit still I'll be along.
I'm with you, "brother, right or wrong,"
I'll fill a glass, a tall one, too.
And drink It off to Lee and you
And Rube. It Is a rotten deal
That I can't ship with old John Beall,
But in December on a day
We'll meet In Chi, yours always Ray.
Frazier Is a banker of Minneapolis
and a prominent business man there.
He frequently visits Portland and is
well known among the "boys" who
compose the Admiral's official family.
His familiar reference to "the culvert
game" is readily appreciated. Inasmuch
as Beall is engaged in tne culvert
business. Everyone recognizes the
Rube'' referred to In the poem as
Rube Foster of the Burlington rail
road, one of the vice admirals.
FIGHT FILMS BARRED OUT
Federal Law Is Tested and Found
Against Interstate Practice.
Showing prizefight films in one state
when the fight has been staged in an
other, was ruled in violation of inter
state commerce laws yesterday when
O. F. Woody was fined and paid $100
in the United States District Court for
bringing the Johnson-Flynn fight films
from Washington into Oregon. There
by a precedent based upon the Fed
eral law passed last month along with
other legislation before Congress was
established.
The case was a test case, but with
the outcome the question of making
the showing of fight films a clearly lo
cal issue is done away with. The de
cision will apply to all states.
Mayer Cohen was jointly arrested
with Woody and appeared In the court
to plead. Cohen proved that he .was
acting only as advance agent under sal
ary and had no profitable interest In
the production of the pictures. The
charge against him was dismissed.
Woody Is a member oi a nrm that is
understood to be connected with the
alleged fight film trust and as his ac
ceptance of the force of the Federal
statute concerning the transmission of
prizefight films from one state to an-'
other is of record, these films in the
future will have value only in the state
where the fight takes place, and not,
