THE MORXIXG OREGONIAN. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER A, 1912. i2 CAMERON IS POWER WITH GRAND JURY Presiding Judge Morrow Does Not Officially Recognize H. M. Esteriy. MASS MEETING ON TONIGHT Governor Relurns to Portland to Di rect Fight on Liquor Shipments Into "Dry" Territory Shcrift to Get Another lietter. DEVELOPMENT IN GOVERNOR'S VICE CRUSADE IX PORTLAND. Citizens to Join In mass meeting in Gipsy Smith Tabernacle tonight to take np vice crusade by discussion. H. M. Esteriy not recognized by Presiding Judge Morrow as having any official standing before the grand Jury for September court. Judge McGinn advises grand Jurors to recognise special prosecutor. Governor returns to Portland to di rect fight against carriers. It M. Esteriy. the special prosecutor appointed by Circuit Judge McGinn at the instance of Governor West to pro secute vice cases, was not recognized as having any official standing in the in structions given the grand Jury for the September term or court Dy rrtsiums Judge Morrow, of the Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon. Judge Morrow told the Jurors that "George J. Camer on is the duly elected and qualified District Attorney and only he. or one of his regularly appointed deputies, is entitled to be in the grand Jury room when a witness is being examined." The instruction will not, however, bar Mr. Esteriy from the grand Jury room, as Judge McGinn soon after announced ' that he will instruct the grand Jurors to recognize officially Mr. Esterly's right to appear before them. The arrangement for Judge Morrow to pass the question and for Judge McGinn to give the Instruction with regard to Mr. Esteriy was made be tween the two Judges previous to the time the seven men who are to con sider criminal charges for the next month appeared in Judge Morrows court for Instructions at 3 o"clock yes terday afternoon. Judges' Authorlty'Co-ordlnate. As the presiding Judge is merely ap pointed by the Judges from among their number, each judge has co-ordinate authority in Instructing the grand jury. Judge Morrow was careful to precede his statement with regard to Cameron's sole authority with the words "for the present." "I still adhere to the belief that any indictment will not stick if returned when anyone other than the regularly elected and qualified District AttorrAy examines witnesses before the grand jury." said District Attorney Cameron. "The evidence on which several of the Indictments returned Saturday by the outgoing grand Jury were based was presented before the Jury'by Mr. Es terlj I understand that some of these indictments will be demurred to on this ground and this will leave the way open for a Judicial decision settling the question." The grand Jury consists of EJ. A. Ja cobs. Ellis J. Garner, S. E. Gardner, R. R. Rasmussen, A. Scharp. E. S. Barn ford and Henry Hannamann. Mr. Ras mussen was appointed foreman and the Jury proceeded at once to its work un der the direction of District Attorney Cameron. Only minor cases. In which the defendants were held to answer from the lower courts, were considered yesterday. Mr. Esteriy has not yet appeared be fore the grand Jury to make any claim to recognition, but Is at work on his campaign as special prosecutor. The four attorneys he appointed as deputies have signified their intention of re t malning with him In the work, and were in conference with him yesterday, together with Patrolmen Kay and Stew art, who have been detailed to assist in the vice crusade. "I cannot say how soon we shall be ready to appear before the grand jury," said Mr. Esteriy. "I intend to take no step hastily, and shall not open my campaign until I have plenty of definite material to work upon." Governor West returned late yester day afternoon from Salem to resume bis work in his temporary office in this city. "My activity from now on," he said, "will be directed chiefly along the lines of action that I have taken up against, the shipment of liquor Into dry terrl-'' tory illegally, and against the 'blind piggers' in various parts of the state. The vice situation in Portland will be. from this time on, chiefly in the hands of Mr. Esteriy. although I shall co operate with him and lend him all the assistance in my power." Women 'ot Meat's Target. The Governor said that he did not expect Mr. Esteriy to direct his activity against immoral women in the city, but rather against the owners of the houses given over in any degree to the im morality and against those who live by preying upon unfortunate women. "I don't think it would do a particle of good toward solving the problem merely to arrest a number ot unfortu nate women and levy lines against them," he said. "The people we are after are those who foster immorality the macquereaux and the landlords who lease their houses for Immoral pur poses, and they are the people who are going to bear the brunt ot the cam paign from now on." There were many indications yesterr day that the Governor may take fur ther steps with regard to the Municipal Court, although he refused last night to say whether he has such intention. He Intimated, however, that he thought that "there might be some changes needed in the Municipal Court.'" Several conferences yesterday with different of ficials and 4 quiet Investigation made by the Governor of the record of Con stable Weinberger is thought to point toward some action. Beyorrd sending another letter to Sheriff Stevens today, pointing out some conditions in the county and calling attention to duties of the Sheriff's of fice, the Governor says he will take no further steps In that phase of the mat ter. Graad Jury Report EvadcM. The recent report ol the grand jury, placing the bulk of the blame for con ditions in Portland at the door of the municipal officials, instead of the coun ty officials, caused the Governor to say: "I do not care to make any state ment upon that." Preparations are completed for the mass meeting to be held In the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle tonight, at which the citixens of Portland who uphold the Governor In his campaign are expected to Indorse his stand. " The following call for the meeting was issued yester day: seldom has any city had such a remark able opportunity set before 1: as Is cow nrrsenled to Portland an opportunity to declare herself emphatically on the side of furl and Impartial enforcement of law an opportunity to strike hard at lnemcieni. If rot corrupt, officials who have been crim inally negligent of their oath of office and Ih4 nuhli. lrar If this opportunity is to be seised, as It should be. it lies with the law-abiding peo ple to take the Initiative and make their power felt on the side ol nguieousnre. Th nmnrt nf h vice Commission shows a deplorable condition of affairs, and yet It Is but c partial statement ot tne gnwn; fruit of over three years of the easy-going policy of Police Department. District Attor ney and Sheriff, which has made this city a breeding-ground for crime. The Governor of the state Is here for the avowed purpose ot putting an end to this policy, and if the people of Portland sin cerely desire to accomplish something for th- cleansing of the city, they ought to take their side with mm against lawless ness and crime. The Governor has taken np the fight sin gle-handed and has set an example before us which we believe every true cltisen will follow and by enthualaatio support render effective. B. S. Huntington will be chairman of the meeting, and among the speakers are Rev. Henry Russell Talbot, U. v., Rev. Luther R. Dyott, D. D-: Rev. W. B. Hinson. D. D.; H. W. Stone and Gov. ernor West. LEBAXOX "BLIXD PIGS" RAIDED Special Agent Named by Governor Obtains Evidence. LEBANON", Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.) Sheriff Smitn. of Albany, with his chief deputy. Policeman Richard, of Lebanon, and Constable Kilter, ol tne Lebanon precinct, made a raid last night on alleged "blind pigs In LeD anon. Of the four places raided, three yielded a large supply of beer and wine. In the livery stable conducted by Newman Brothers they .secured oju bottles of beer. The seizure consisted of 26 cases which were stored away In a secret compartment of an oat bin. At the last term of the State Circuit Court one of the proprietors was fined 1250 and given a 30 days' Jail sentence. In a dwelling owned and conducted oy Mrs. Harry Hall 40 bottles of beer were found, and at the home of W. I. Blsnop two large jugs of wine were seized. The home of Ernest Porter was an other place raided, but nothing' was found. Porter also Is accused of being a persistent violator of the law and is under arrest- There were issued seven warrants yesterday and other raids will follow. The state also has warrants issued In the Lebanon City Court for all the persons arrested today and last nlgnt. F. A. Dillon, a Portland detective, armed with a state-wide commission as snecial asrent. issued by Governor West, gathered the evidence here. He also obtained the evidence on which Mayor Jones, of Redmond, was removed from office at the instance of the Governor. Dillon was sent here opon application of Lebanon citizens, who have been urging a fight upon the "blind pigs." He had authority to make arrests any where in the state. Attorneys Baker and Burke, of Port land, have been appointed special prosecutors for these cases and are due here to take up the work. ROSEBVRG BREWERY OX TRIAL Governor Authorizes Prosecutor to Try to Annul Charter. ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 3. (Special.) Represented by an array of counsel, the directors of the Roseburg Brewing & Ice Company were this morning placed on trial in the Circuit Court, ac cused of violating the local option laws. The directorate of the brewery is composed of H. Wollenberg. C. B. Can non and F. G. Mlcelli. of Roseburg, and W. H. Sykes. of Drain. It is not believed the taking of evi dence will commence before late to morrow. At the time of adjourning tonight but one peremptory challenge had been exercised. Most of the tales men thus far examined claim to have either read of the case in the newspa pers or had heard It discussed. The defendants will admit making the sale at Issue, so it is claimed to night, but will vigorously oppose the contention of the state that the liquid was intoxicating. On the contrary, the defense will claim that the article sold on the particular date was "near beer." The state will Introduce two chem ists who will testify that the liquid was beer and contained in the neigh borhood of 4 per cent of alcohol. Ex pert testimony will also be Introduced by the defense In an attempt to com bat that of the prosecution. It Is not likely that the case will be concluded before Friday night. Acting upon telegraphic advice from Governor West, District Attorney Brown probably will file quo warranto proceedings against the Roseburg Brewing & Ice Company tomorrow, with a view of annulling its charter. Data containing evidence upon which the proceedings will be based was for warded by Governor West to the Dis trict Attorney tonight. CHURCHES STAXD WITH WEST McMinnville Methodists and Chris tian Denominations Act. M'MINNVILLE, Or.. Sept. 3. (Spe cial.) Governor West's moral crusade has met with favor among the churches of McMinnville, and they have taken official cognizance of his efforts In the form of a resolution which reads as follows: "Whereas. Oswald West. Governor of Oregon, is attempting to compel. state, county and .municipal officers to prose cute lawbreakers, crime promoters and bootleggers, and . "Whereas, There seems to be- an apathetic disposition on the part of the press and the better element of so ciety to back the Governor in his good work in cleaning the state, county and municipalities of officers who wink at crime and refuse to do their sworn duty; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the officers and members of this church at McMinnville, Or most heartily approve and ratify the action of Governor West in his at tempt to raise the moral standard of citizenship to a higher plane and an en largement of civic righteousness; and, be it further "Resolved. That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to Governor West, and a copy to the local papers for publica tion." This" resolution was passed by the members and officers of the Methodist Church at McMinnville last Sunday, and also Indorsed by the members of the Christian Church of this place. Although nothing has leeu said, it Is expected that other of McMlnnville's churches will come forward with in dorsement of the above resolution. - JUDGE AT ISSUE WITH WEST Xewberg Saloon Case Likely to De velop Into Difficulties. SALEM, Or., Sept. S. (Special.) That difficulties are apt to arise from the order of Governor West to the Marion County Court asking that court to revoke the license of a saloon in Marion County, directly across the Wil lamette River from Newberg, is indi cated by a statement of County Judge Bushey today, that he would not re voke the license unless some law has been violated. Newberg is in Yamhill County,, while the saloon is In Marion County. County Judge Bushey today stated that the license would not be revoked unless the Governor can show that the saloon has been violating the law. Judge Bushey states that the County Court of Marlon County has also re ceived a petition from Newberg people in regard to the saloon, but has paid no attention to it because the town Is located outside of Marion County. 75,000 FOR ROSE FETE IS MARK SET Stockholders Agree Larger Fund, Needed for Celebra tion in 1913. OFFICERS ARE RE-ELECTED Date for Festival Next Year May Be Second Week in June Compari son Made Witb What Other Cities Expend. Reviewing the success of the Hose Festival last June and laying plans for an even greater venture next year, the stockholders of the Rose Festival held their sixth annual meeting last night at the Rose Festival headquarters. In the election the same officers wno served this year were returned, as a token of the approval of the stock holders for their work in managing the Festival. The date for the Festival of 1913 Will be set at a later meeting, but it probably will be the second week in June, as has been the custom here tofore. One of" the Important recommenda tions In President Hoyt's report, which met with the approval of all, was the advice that at least $75,000 should be sought to finance the Festival for the coming year in a proper manner. Seattle' Caae Is Told Of. "In view of the many other demands upon the merchants and property own ers this year," he said, "I think we did unusually well in - raising almost as large an amount this year as we did last, but it was still a very difficult task to raise the necessary amount and also It. was quite an expense to accom plish same. "Joseph Blethen, president of thte Seattle Potlatch, advised me last month that their subscriptions amounted to $77,000 and of this amount they would have to use $10,000 to make up a deficit of the preceding year. This gave them $67,000 with which to give thelr.cele bratlon this year. "Really, to give a satisfactory Festi val, now that it has become an annual event and is recognized the world over, we should at least have $75,000 for that purpose, and I feel that we will have valuable assistance in raising funds for our next Festival from the Royal Rosarlans, who have pledged us their support." Hutchtn Gives Statement. In the same connection George L: Hutchin, manager of the Festival, pbinted out the sucesses that have been achieved by the Rose Festival in the past, in comparison with other festi vals in other cities, which were backed by much larger funds than have been available for the Portland Festival. "New Orleans spends annually $250,- 000 upon Its week of festivity known as the Mardl Gras. At that time it gives four parades; Portland gives six. Seattle, boasts of expending $76,280 upon Its Golden Potlatch. The Ak-Sar- Ben, of Omaha; the Veiled Prophet, of St. Louis: the Priests of Pallas, of Kansas City, and the Portola, of San Francisco, cost approximately the same amount, while the Portland Rose Festival gives its annual fete for a little more than half the funds used by our sister cities. For a long time the Portland Rose Festival has been per forming miracles on a shoestring, as one enthusiast expresses it." Mr. Hoyt touched upon the organiza tion of the Royal Rosarlans, the rose show at the Armory and other fea tures that have arisen to add to the success and magnitude of the festi val, and a review of the different departments" of the festival work were contained in the reports of Mr. Hutchin and Secretary Dr. Emmet Drake. 1800 Are Subscribers. Lists of the subscribers to the Rose Festival fund have been prepared and will be filed at the office of the as sociation and may be made public at an early date. The total number of names on the list is more than 1800. Following are the officers re-elect ed: Ralph W. Hoyt. president; Thomas McCusker, first vice-president; C. A.

DROZGO OUTWITS PURSUING FORGES Mexican Rebel Commander Is Hundreds of Miles From . . Expected Point. 0JINAGA EASILY TAKEN Federals Flee and Revolutionists Enter . Without Firing Shot Operations Designed to Distract Pursuers. s PASO, Sept. 3. Pascual Orozco, leader of the Mexican revolution, has been located, ending a mystery f many weeks. The puzzle was solved today when OJmaga fell into rebel hands and the discovery was made that Orozco was not where he was supposed to be by many hundreds ot miles. Orozco himself, it was learned, is near Ascenclon, a point southwest of Juarez, near the Sonora state line, from where he has been directing the cam paign of his forces "Scattered over Sonora to the west, and also of the operations east around OJlnaga, made to distract the attention of the fed erals. After the evacuation by rebels of Juarez, General Orozco moved east and Colonel Orozco, his father, moved west. But the two changed their courses below Juarez. General Orozco moved west and Colonel Orozco eas't. Believing that the rebel chief was to the1 east, the federal government sent 800 men from the City of Chihuahua to attemDt his capture. General Vlc- toriano Huerta. federal commander- in-chief, moved to Juarez to plan to crush the 1200 rebels operating on the border to the east and supposedly commanded by General orozco. But today the 600 federal volunteers occupying Ojlnaga under General Jose de la Cruz Sanchez, fled to the hills and the rebels marched in without firing a shot. Then it was discovered that the rebel leader had never been to the east, but was near the Sonora line with a small group ol men. REBEL LOOTERS ARE ACTIVE Mexican Ranchers Lose Horses.

HOW TO SUCCEED During the last few years, conditions in all lines of business, even profes sional life, have changed so completely that every man is waking up to-the fact that in order to win success he must specialize and learn to do some one thing and do it well. So It ia with any article that is sold to the people. It must have genuine merit or no amount of advertising will maintain the demand for the article. For many years we have watched with much Interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. From the very beginning the proprietors had so much confidence in it that they invited every one to test it, free of cost, before pur chasing. It is a physician's prescription. They have on file thousands of let ters received from former sufferers who are now enjoying good health as a result of its use. However, if you wish first to try a sample bottle, address Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y., and mention this paper. They will gladly forward you a sample bottle by mall, absolute ly free.
