10 TIIE HORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1914. WITNESS IS SENT TO JAIL BY JUDGE Member of Clothing Firm Loses Memory and Jurist Would Aid Faculty. MRS. GERLINGER ON STAND Former Kurse Weeps as She Testi fies to Action of Plaintiff In $50, i 00 0 Breach of Promise Salt. Brown Star Man. Max Politz. member of a clothing firm and expected to be a highly Interesting- witness In the J50.000 breach of promise suit of Mrs. Gertrude Ger llnger against Lloyd Frank, was sent to Jail over night by Judge Davis yes terday when his memory failed him on the witness stand. Under a shower of embarrassing Questions from George W. Joseph, at torney for Mr. Frank, Politz' answer, "I don't remember," occurred so fre quently that Judge Davis warned him twice to testify more fully. Mr. Politz did not remember, he said, whether he had visited Mrs. Gerlinger 1n her apartment after Christmas eve. He had a distinct recollection of hav ing visited her on that date, but de clared he couldn't recollect having seen her since. Defense Would Fix Dates. The defense tried to show that he had visited Mrs. Gerllnger as late as January 2. "You must remember that I am a very busy man," he snapped, "and I can't remember that long." "Perhaps you'd remember some of your talk If you heard it," remarked Mr. Joseph. He then read conversation purporting to have been recorded by a dictagraph which, it developed in the morning, the defense has had in Mrs. Gerllnger's room, with two detectives listening at the other end of the wire in the next apartment, since early in December. To all of It Mr. Politz' answer was uniformly, "I don't remember." Finally Judge Davis Interrupted. "Mr. Joseph." said the court, "I don't be lieve It's any use to go on with this. We will commit the witness to the County Jail over night arid see If he will remember." Mr. Politz was taken out by a bailiff and turned over to the Sheriff. He passed the night in a cell. "Trifling with the court by refusing to answer questions either in the af firmative or negative," Is the notation in the court order for his commitment. Earlier in the day Mrs. Gerllnger had denied the conversation which Mr. Po litz could not remember. Brown Star Witness. F. L. Brown was the star witness for the defense In the afternoon. He admitted having been, a frequent caller at Mrs. Gerllnger's former home in lrvlngton. "Did you ever take breakfast there?" asked Mr. Joseph. "Yes," admitted Mr. Brown. He said he had taken breakfast at the house probably three or four times. He also admitted that he had a pair nf slipppers at Mrs. Gerllnger's house, because "he knew he was going to get his feet wet." Others Give Testimony. He denied positively ever having asked Mrs. Gerllnger to marry him, as she had testified. Monro Goldstein and others declared Mrs. Gerllnger had made the statement In the period when she now declares Bhe was engaged to Mr. Frank that she was engaged to Mr. Brown. Goldstein said that he had asked Mrs. Gerllnger last January where she got a handsome silver purse she was car rylng and that she told him Mr. Frank had given it to her. "I think I twitted her about it and said something about 'a good catch. eald Mr. Goldstein. "She replied in effect that Lloyd was a nice boy, but nothing to her." Mrs. Gerllnger in her suit contends that she was engaged to Mr. Frank at that time. On cross-examination Mr." Goldstein raid he had agreed to testify because L. L. Levin gs. a private detective, had asked him to do so, after saying that ho thought Goldstein might know some thins about the case. Former Nurso Weeps. Mrs. Victor E. Earle. former nurse for Mrs. Gerllnger's -children, wept so wniie on tne stand that she was ex cused and recalled later. She declared that Mr. Gerlineer had told her on Wednesday in the office of her attorney, Arthur I. Moulton, hot to say on the witness stand that Mr. Brown had ever breakfasted, at the house. She testified that she remem bered his having taken breakfast there once. She completely exonerated Mr. Moul ton, however, of having had anything to do with this alleged attempt to In fluence her testimony. He not only was not present at the time, she as serted, but had at another time told her to tell the truth and not to tell anything that was not true. The former cook for Mrs. Gerllnger, Mrs. Martha I. Goodwin, related bits of talk she alleged she had overheaTd be tween Leon Behrman, an attorney, and Mrs. Gerlinger. relative to taking her breach of promise suit. She said she had heard Mr. Behrman say: Marrlace Date Not Set. 'So Lloyd Frank promised to marrv you, did he?" to which Mrs. Gerllnger . had replied, "Yes, but he didn't set a time. Other witnesses Included Ed Stryker ana me uavis, traveling salesmen. A dramatic situation developed In the morning session or court. Mrs. Ger linger had been recalled by Attorney Joseph for cross-examination relative to her conversation and actions in her apartment the night previous. He read from detective reports con versation he alleged she had had Wed nesday night in her apartment with "Jack" Keating, whose name has b'een frequently mentioned In the trial, and of several telephone talks. Finally he rame aown to ner conversation with r . E. Glenn, janitor of the apartment. Janitor Make Entrance. She had directed him, it developed, to bring some medicine to her room, and 'while he was there she declared that she was suspicious of a man who had "repaired" her electric light fixtures arly In December. It was brought out by Mr. Joseph, reading from his reports, and admit ted by. Mrs, Gerllnger, that the Janitor got on the table and examined the chandelier. What did he find?" insisted Mr. Joseph. 'A lot of tape wound around Inside the top of the chandelier," said Mrs. Gerllnger. She said she then got on the table herself and wrenched it loose. 'What did you do with It?" demand ed the lawyer. I have it, she retorted. Modern Device Produced. 'Produce It," cried Mr. Joseph. "I want you to produce It now.. You have it here. Produce It In this court" From Mrs. Gerlinger"s muff was taken an Instrument" much resembling the receiver end of a telephone, to which waB attached a long black cord. It was the dictaphone of modern sci entific detective fiction in the flesh. Triumphantly waving the recovered dictaphone, Mr. Joseph introduced It iri evidence. Mr. Moulton, for Mrs. Ger llnger, offered no objection. The only dispute was as to how, long the In strument had been In her room, Mr. Joseph asserting It was. put there on December 4, and Mrs. Gerlinger insist ing that It was December 9 when a boy, who represented that he had come to "test a leakage" in the electric wires, had worked for some time on the chandelier. 'I remember him." she said, "be cause he was so fresh." Coincldentally, she said, a man and woman whom, she suspected from the first to be private detectives had taken the apartment next to her. 'The defendant and those connected with him," said Mrs." Gerlinger bitterly. have done everything they can to' per secute me since this thing began." BANK CASE TO BE HEARD Judge Morrow Will Xot Rule on Ral ston Salt Till After Trial. Legal questions. Involved in the suit brought by Bank Examiner Wright against L. O. Ralston, growing out of the failure of the American Bank & Trust Company, will not be determined, Judge Morrow ruled yesterday, until the case comes up for final hearing on its merits. The trial will be set forward as much as Judge Morrow's calendar will permit. fcuit was brought by the bank ex aminer to collect $10,000, alleged to be due on stock held by Ralston. He later sold the stock to Sam Connell, v'ho agreed to' protect Ralston aeainst all demands for payment of any balance due on the stock. This agreement. It Is claimed, was guaranteed by the bank directors. Assistant Attorney-General Van Winkle argued that the bank cannot release a stockholder from an obliga tion which Is created by law. JOINT HOSPITAL PROPOSED Health Officer Suggests Union of City and County . Institutes. If a proposal being urged by City Health Officer Marcellus meets with the approval of the city and county com missions, the proposed new Multnomah Hospital will be made a city and coun ty institution for handling all charity cases now sent by . both governments to St. Vincent's and Good Samaritan hospitals. Dr. Marcellus presented his plans yesterday to Mayor Albee and City Commissioner Bigelow and to County Physician Geary and they met with the approval of these officials. Tho plan will entail no additional expense and probably will result In a material sav ins to the city. FAIR BUILDING TO START Representative of California Com pany Comes to Sign Contract. The Foster Vogt Comnanv. of San Francisco, which was the lowest bidder for the Oregon building at the Panama- Pacillc Exposition, $33,980, sent a tele gram yesterday to the Oregon Build ing Commission announcing that a rep resentative or the company would ar rive in Portland at 3 o'clock today to confer with the commission and the architect with regard to the acceptance of Its bid. A director-general for exhibits in the Oregon building will not be appointed ror some time. LOAN SHARKS' HOPE VAIN District Attorney Promises Vigorous Prosecution of Offenders. Because of the absence of District Attorney Evans, who was at Vancou ver with the interstate bridge commis sion, no action was taken yesterday by his office in the war on the loan sharks, but Mr. Evans said last night that he will take the matter up vigor ously without delay. "Money-lenders who have victimized city employes to the extent of gar nlsheeing their salary think this threat of the city to discharge all employes whose salary may be . garnisheed will make It easy for them," said Mr. Evans last night, "but they will find them selves mistaken." LAND CASE IS DELAYED Judge Kavanaugh Finds His Mother Plaintiff in Suit Before Kim.

Though yesterday was the second highest day since the registration books were opened Monday,' the regis tration still Is light. County Clerk Coffey declared yesterday, and, unless the voters attend to their registration early there is going to be a rush along toward the latter part of April that will make It hard for the clerks to han dle the work. Yesterday 494 voters registered, 86 of whom were women. The registra tion yesterday brings the total for the week up to 1940. J. II. Davis Sentenced. J. H. Davis was sentenced" yesterday by Judge Gatens to serve a year at the Penitentiary for obtaing money by false pretenses, following a plea of guilty.

DEMOCRATS EXULT AT CLUB DINNER Governor Confesses He Gets Inspiration From Jack son as "Live One." "NEW FREEDOM" CHEERED 200 Are Enthusiastic Enough for 1000 "Sage of Lfbanon" Sees Beginning of . Victory In Bryan's 189 6 Campaign. The exultant Democracy of Oregen congratulated Itself, each other and the Nation last night. The occasion was the fourth annual banquet of the Jack son Club at the Commercial Club last night. There was not a speaker that "viewed with alarm" nor a heart that was dis mayed at the destiny of the country under Democratic rule; not an utter ance was made that was not rosy with hope for the future and the continu ance of Democrats In office In Oregon- and elsewhere. The shades of Jefferson and Jackson, and occasionally that of Lincoln, were invoked by the orators. The frequent mention of the name of President Wilson was greeted with oud acclaim, and when Milton A. Mil ler, "the sage o f Lebanon," referred to the campaign of 1896, under the leader ship of William Jennings Bryan, as having seen 'the birth of the "new freedom that is marching on in Na tional affairs," the applause boiled over In genuine Democratic warwhoops. Enthusiasm EnonEh for lOOO. There were less than 200 present, but there was enthusiasm enough for 1000 Fred C. Whitteh, president of the club, in opening the oratorical pro gramme, spoke of the meeting of the club a year ago, when the shouting over a Democratic victory had scarcely died away and "when there were many who doubted if the cause of good gov ernment had been advanced by that victory." "Now there are but few doubters left," he said. The first speaker on the programme was Governor West, who was described by the chairman" as "a man in office who has looked beyond the dollar mark, who has attempted to make Oregon good place for fathers and mothers to bring up their boys and girls." Jackson Honored as "Live One." - "Mr. Toastmaster, Fellow-Democrats, Colonel Hanley and Dan Kellaher, began the Governor, "I honor. Jackson not so much because he Is dead because he was once a live one." The Governor confessed that Jackson Is one of his sources of inspiration as a Chief Executive. He said that he had been accused of acting hastily, with out taking counsel, but declared that he was advised on all occasions before acting. "In my office there are three things that are the sources of my Inspiration,' he said. "They are my mother's pic ture, a "bust of Jackson and a bust of Jefferson. "In my dealings with my fellow man in every-day life I get my inspiration from my mother; when I am consider ing affairs of government I revert to the life and teachings of Jefferson, but when I feel that I need to know what to do and do it promptly, I think of the life and activities of Andrew Jack son." Plan of Government Outlined. . Outlining briefly the plan of th American Government, the Governor dwelt particularly on the executive branch. "It 15 the duty of the ' legislative branch to make the laws, the judicial branch to interpret them and the ex ecutive branch to execute them," he said. Each branch act3 Independently of the other and the executive is respon sible to God Almighty and the people and to no one else. The Governor said that organized vice and organized wealth are fighting for the control of things and that it Is the mission of the Democratic party to keepT.hem from gaining that control. 'I have been in office three years now," said the Governor, "and I have made many blunders, but the people are always ready to forgive if once in a while you will do something worth while. I can talk plainly to you," he con tinued, "for I am not a candidate for office. In fact I am on the last quar ter, I ve got the bit in my teeth and it s going to be a pretty fast quarter. He closed his address with a plea for harmony In Oregon. A lengthy telegram was read from Senator Chamberlain by W. S. Snyderrl secretary of the club, and others frpm Representatives Champ Clark and Os car W. underwood. Senator - Miller made an old-time Democratic speech. At the conclusion of his speeoh an en thusiastlc admirer nominated him for Governor of Oregon, and the cheering was prolonged. "Support Woodron" Slogan Walter M. Pierce spoke for Postmas ter Frank S, Myers, who was unable to be present, because of Illness In hi family. - "We Won't Go Back on Woodrow, was Mr. Pierce's slogan. "Things are not all as they should be to suit me," he said. "I agree with Governor West that he has made mis takes, perhaps I do not approve of all that Senator Chamberlain has done, and- there is the new tariff law that does not exactly suit my fancy." Dr. Esther Pohl-Lovejoy, the only woman speaker, dlscuseed politics from "A Woman's Viewpoint." There was no mistaking her meaning that the Democracy must "make good to retain its women voters when sh said: "Women reserve always th privilege of changing their minds. If thev can buy as much wool for 8 cents under the new tariff law as they could before for a dollar, they will count that law a success." Dr. Pohl-Lovejoy characterized Evi as the first "progressive." Colonel C. E. S. Wood complimented the women and declared that no man Is a true Democrat who keeps woma in a state of political subjection. John F. Shields spoke on "The Party of the Masses." while Senator Claud C McCollocb. made an address on "Th 1914 Elections," admonishing his hear ers to get into action now for the Con gresslonal and state elections of the Fall. Victor Moses of Corvallls, was Intro duced as-a. probable Congressional can dldate from his district. "Bill" Hanley was called upon to ex plain for himself his presence. Letters and telegrams of regret were read, from Senator Harry Lane, Senator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma; Josephu Daniels. Secretary of the Navy; Ben Davis, chief clerk in the State Depart ment; Governor Lister, of Washing ton; Hugh McLane, of Marehfleld; Clar encn Reames, Federal District Attorney In Portland, who la in Washington, D, and Joseph Tumulty, the latter on behalf of President Wilson. ; Among those present were: Oswald West A.

Walton usiesoy xoung HIGHWAY ROUTE IS FIXED ROAD THROUGH COLUMBIA COUNTY SETTLED, SAYS MAJOR BOWL1T, Scapnoose, St. Helens, Goble, Rainier and Clatakanle Lie Along War Choaen, Is Declaration. All doubts as to the route of the Co lumbia River highway through Co- umbla County -were set at rest yester day by Major H. L. Bowlby, State Highway Engineer, who' was in Port land. During his presence In the city word was received that the Columbia County proposed bond issue of $360,000 for a county road system would come up on February 2, and that the peo ple .or Kainier were much worried over rumor that the highway would not pass through Rainier. This rumor Major Bowlty characterized as com pletely unfounded . and the worlc of someone or other opposed to the proj ect. 'There are two surveys at work on the route now," he said, "and it has been decided, and you can Bay authori tatively from me, that the route will pass through Scappoose, St. Helens, Goble, Rainier and Clatskanle. This route is so arranged as to take In 80 per cent rff the population of the county. In addition to being part of the highway It is also locally a mar ket road. I shall be greatly surprised Indeed if the bond Issue fails to pass, because have been over the route and senti ment everywhere seems overwhelm- ngly In favor of th issue and the high way. But to insure a bond issue pass- ng It Is necessary for some of the pro gressive citizens to get behind the movement and agree to give their time to It. That is how all the others have passed and how those In the fu ture will succeed. Major Bowlby attended a meeting of the Hood River County Court the pre cious night ana found the members gratified with the progress of the sur vey, which will be complete from Port land to the eastern end of Hood River County by the end of the month, weather being at all favorable. The court is very favorable." he continued, "to the Issue of bonds to the amount of $200,000, of which $125,- 000 would go on the valley roads and $75,000 to join the existing stretches of the highway In the state and to im prove somewhat those parts already used. They want to have the petitions submitted to the County Court In Feb ruary with an election in March. The Wasco County Court also asked me yesterday to make a reconnaissance and report to them on the road from Hood River to The Dalles. There are two routes, one along the river, the other In the farming country at the back. The latter woud go to an elevation of 1900 feet and drop at Mosler. No bond Issue probably would be neces Bary, as there is an automobile road and they may have the necessary money In reserve to repair It and put it In good condition. That both these counties are pleased to note is the interest and desire among Portland citizens for a road through to The Dalles by 1915, and pro vided the people act on their recom mendations there is no doubt whatever that the 'whole road from the Sea through to The Dalles will be finished and well finished by 1915 and the rest of the road from The Dalles be put in first-class condition." RUSSELL ARRESTED AGAIN Sheriff Raids Erlckson's Saloon Despite Previous Acqnittals. Although JT. J. Russell, manager of Erlckson's saloon at Second and Burn- side streets, has been dismissed on gambling charges twice this week, Sheriff word made a third raid on the place last night and captured 20 card- players and took Mr. Russell Into cus tody. Russell's ball was set at $200 and the others were released on ball of $10 each. "I am sincere In my endeavor to stop card-playing and gambling in the saloons and cigar stores and am going to keep at it until I suppress it, said Sheriff Word last night. "I won't make any statement as to what course I will pursue until after Judge Mor row has ruled in the Linnton Club case tomorrow. Then I will make a state ment and will make myself sufficient ly clear as to leave no doubt as to my future course. There Is to be no let up on the saloons and roadhouses." Suit was brought by the Linnton Bowling Club to. restrain Sheriff Word from stationing a deputy sheriff at the clubhouse, and Judge Morrow cited the Sheriff to appear at noon today and show cause why the injunction should not be granted. Testerday afternoon District Judge Jones dismissed the gambling charges against J. J. Russell and three others on the grounds there was Insufficient evidence. Sock Carpenter Hurt. D. B. TJlbrand, a carpenter employed in building the new city dock at the foot of Seventeenth street, fell about 20 feet yesterday, injuring his head and breaking one of his legs. He was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital. He Is a German, 55 years old, is married and lives at 1080 ast Harrison.

Asher had told in de tail at the weekly luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday how well fitted Mr. Kanzler Is for the duties of the highest office of the club. Xo one else previously had been nominated. The election will take place at the luncheon next week. Althouirh there were Ave nomina tions for the office of first vice-president, these finally, through withdraw als and declinations, simmered down to one, so that J. H. Dundore stands to be elected. R. W. Nesblt, Ed vveriem and Dr. W. F. Fiebig declined and sup porters of William F. Ross withdrew his name because they had him slated for second vice-president. . P. H.

Flebls, Teferee, announced that "Charles Berg" Anderson, the only man born with gloves," and he still wears 'em, "would meet at catch weights" "Gunboat Smith" Stephens. True, there was a rather wide dis parity In their weights, he added, but It was thought that the boxing skill and quick footwork of Berg at 112 pounds would offset Stephens' 275 pounds. Anderson was getting the worst of the exchanges, when J. J. Stritzel, in the second round, stepped into the ring with a step-ladder. Berg ran up the ladoer and from that eleva tion delivered the knockout blow on the point of his opponent's Jaw. Mote evenly matched were Corbett H. Doxey, heralded as the man who made boxing famous, and Kneeland Fltzslmmons. They went three rounds to a draw, while the crowd at the ring side yelled for blood and none showed. The applications of five men for membership were announced. The candidates are Dr. Richard Mullhol land, A. Robb, radiophotographer; E R. Anderson, with the North Bank road; Edgar Stephens, with John H. Burgard & Co., insurance, and William Hanley. of Burns, Or.

Couple Let Judge Wait Vainly to Tie Knot Warrant to Be Issued for Girl and Man Who Kail to ppfar In Court to Be Married. THE Municipal Court's second pro jected wedding, whose fees were to go to the aid of unfortunates under the care of Probation Officer Inskeep, came to a quick ending yesterday, when the uple concerned failed to arrive In court and could not be found. A bench warrant will be Issued for their arrest. Dolores Stevens and John Kuhn pleaded that they loved each other, when, under the care of Miss Chandler, of the department of protection for women, they came into court Wednes day. Judge Stevenson beamed and sug gested that they get married. They agreed and said they would come to Municipal Court yesterday noon, and Judge Stevenson would tie the knot. Otherwise they would be obliged to receive sentence. The first projected wedding. In which Laura Little, a negress well known to the police, was to become the spouse of Robert Richardson, also col ored, if she would mend her ways and not return to court, failed also. The contracting couple got out a physician's certificate, but their enthusiasm waned, and they never got out a marriage license. Nor did Kuhn and Miss Stevens, Clerk Crounse found, when, after primping himself as best man, he telephoned the County Clerk and discovered that the couple had not ap peared at the clerk's office. GAME SYSTEM CHANGED SECRETARY APPOINTED BY COM MISSION FOR EDUCATIONAL WORK State to Be Divided Into Four Districts and Formation of Sportsmen's Clubs will Be Urared. The first 1914 session of the State Fish and Game Commission yesterday brought about a complete change In the system of the departments. Both will be more directly under the direc tion of the commission . hereafter, through its secretary, Theodore Opsund. The office of secretary was created yesterday and tilled by the appoint ment of Opsund. His office probably will be at Salem and future meetings of the board probably will be held at the capital.

Farchl Must Face Trial for Slaj-lnc; Employer, Although Fatal Shot Was Fired at Alleged Tormentrr. Lulgi Farchl, bartender at the United States saloon, 294 First street, was charged with murder yesterday after noon, a' few hours after Mike Zenzola, his employer, died In St. Vincent's Hos pital from a bullet fired by Farchl at on Rocco, a patron of the saloon. Farchl admitted shooting at Rocco to kill, and on this admission the mure der charge is based, for the Oregon law says that a man who kills a bystander in a murderous attempt to kill an other, is guilty of murder rather than manslaughter. In telling his story yesterday, Farchl said that he and Rocco had been shoot ing at each other with the selzer from syphon bottles. He said that a patrorj entered the saloon, and, while he was waiting upon him, Rocco continued to squirt selzer at him, and, after exhaust ing one syphon bottle, reached behind the bar for another. Then, Farchl says, he became angry, ran Into the of fice of the saloon and got a revolver, shooting across the bar at Rocco, who ducked behind a stove. At this moment Zenzola entered, in time to receive the second bullet from the gun, wh'lch struck him In the mouth and pene trated the base of his brain. Farchl walked to the police station and gave himself up. Detective Crad dock, who was assigned to the case, has been unable to find Rocco. CHICAGO. Jan. 8. (Special.)
