VERDICT III ARSON
CASE "HUT GUILTY'
Charge Against Max Albert of
Attempting to Defraud In
surance Firms Fails.
OTHER PROSECUTIONS DUE
Board at its -weekly, luncheon yester
day at the Commercial Club.
He pointed out that the causes of the
war were so indefinite and general that
the trouble would be almost impossible
to arbitrate for the reason that there
were no positive questions to settle.
The committee of the JEcoard appointed
recently to investigate the statements
made by a judge from the bench, defaming-
the character of Ralph Ackley,
a witness, reported yesterday that the
charges were not well grounded.
"After carefully reading the testi
mony given in the case we fail to see
where Mr. Ackley is open to any cen
sure," said the report read by the com
mittee chairman, Herbert Gordon.
On motion the Realty Board by a
, unanimous vote exonerated Mr. Ackley
j from the charge of wrong-doing, and
extended Its congratulations for being
acquitted in the eyes of the public
As an incidental observance of peace

First or Series Is Ilard-Fouglit Trial
and Bitterness Creeps Into Court
Proceedings Jury Out Four
and a Half Hours.
"Not guilty," was the ver-dict re
turned by the jury in the case of Max
Albert, charged with arson, whose trial
was concluded in Judge Morrow's de
partment of the Circuit Court yester
day. After deliberating four and a half
hours, the jurors announced their de
cision at 10 o'clock last rfight and were
discharged.
The trial occupied over a week and
was hard fought from start to finish.
It was the first of a series of prosecu
tions of members of the alleged "arson
trust," in which it was expected to
show illegal activities of a group of
Portland shopkeepers to defraud insur
ance companies. Indictments charging
arson were returned by the August
grand jury that involved nearly a
dozen small merchants and one local
attorney, David Fepp, who is charged
with having counseled the setting of
incendiary fires.
Charged jointly in the indictment
with Max Albert were I.. Sax and am
Sax, his son, and Philip Davis. The
last-named confessed to liaving joined
in a conspiracy in late July, 1912, to
burn the Pax store, 207 First street
and it was alleged that Jlax Albert was
secured by Davis to set the place afire.
Other Trials Are Due.
The defendants demanded separate
trials, although the two Saxes will be
tried together. This case probably will
be called this week in Judge McGinn's
department of Circuit Court, unless it
is decided to bring Max Albert to trial
again at once on the - same chaTge or
to face another indictment charging
him with having set fire to a houye he
occupied in Alberta in November. 1912.
It is alleged he set the place ablaze in
order to collect insurance on his house
hold furnishings, which he had placed
in a rented house.
Unfairness was charged against the
prosecution to the end of the chapter
by Attorney Malarkey, who referred to
the state's conduct of the case in bitter
words in his closing argument before
the jury yesterday. Deputy District At
torney Maguire declared Mr. Malarkey
was using these tactics only to deceive
the jury and said Mr. Malarkey had
never participated in a trial in which
the defense had been given wider lib
erties. "When counsel in this case attacks
the judge of this court -and the state
in this case to save the hide of a fire
bug, he does it only to deceive you,"
said Mr. Maguire to the jury. "In all
his 22 years' experience in the courts
he has never had a case in which the
rules of testimony were extended fur
ther for his benefit than in this case.
"When these attorneys for the de
fense talked with Davis, when he went
to them and asked their advice, they
violated the ethics of their profession
when they did not keep his confidence,
and when they took the cases of othess
whose interests were directly opposed
to those of Davis. When Davis tes
tified that he got advice from' these
attorneys as to how to- get around the
confession he had made to the District
Attorney, you each know that Davis
told the truth.
State Auks Ouly Justice.
"I regret as much as anyone that
personalities have entered into the
trial of this case, but the state did not
start it. We ask only that justice be
done to those who for love of money
and lust for money place in jeopardy
the lives of innocent people." ,
Mr. Maguire took up the various
points in the testimony in which
rebuttal was offered by the defense.
He said witnesses brought to impeach
the testimony of Davis are all his
enemies. The $3000 insurance taken
by L. pax & Son during July he con
tended was additional insurance, shown
by the testimony of Davis, who was
told by Sax, he said, when the fire was
planned, that there was $4000 insur
ance on the store.
Judge Morrow then read his instruc
tions to the jury at the close of the
afternoon explaining the points of law
to be considered, and the jury retired
in charge of Bailiff Morse. Yesterday
uorning was occupied by the argument
of Attorney Malarkey for the defense.
Sir. Malarkey Tells Wky He Aids.
"Yoii are not to try this case upon
the poison that has been dropped," said
Mr. Malarkey. "If Max Albert is not
guilty of this charge against hirn, let
some other jury find him guilty of the
other charge.
"I am sneered at because I am here
defending this man and I am said to
be shedding the 'paid tears of an actor.'
I am shedding r.o rears in this case,
jrentlemen. but if I were to shed tears
they would not be tears of sympathy,
but tears of indignation at the methods
that have been used by the District
Attorney to convict this man. Simple
fellows like these, -who como from
Russia, a land of persecution, need
someone to defend them, God knows,
and I would rather help a man keep
out of the penitentiary than be one to
help put him in.
"I have been aroused at times during
the trial of this case by what I regard
as the unfairness of the District Attor
ney in the prosecution of Max Albert.
The District Attorney is like the police:
when he goes after a man he wants to
land him. What we need is public de
fenders, just as much as we need public
prosecutors, to safeguard- the rights of
a men on trial for his liberty.
Proof of Incendiarism Denied.
In arguing the case for the defense
Mr. Malarkey held it had not been
proved that the Sax fire was incen
diary: he held rather to the theory that
gas had escaped from a Jet left, open
by mistake of a clerk. This theory,
lie held, was substantiated fully by the
resulting fire.
He argued that the $3000 insurance
taken out on the Sax store in July was
not additional Insurance, as contended
by the prosecution, but renewals of
former policies. He said the insurance
companies paid the losses on the Sax
block, that an investigation of the fire
was had in Municipal Court, when the
incident was fresh and all witnesses
and evidence available, and that the
owners were exonerated.

WEST TAKES IT BACK
GOVERNOR SAYS WORDS ABOUT
MR. BOOTH QUALIFIED.
Statement Credited to Him by Friendly
Newspaper Is Denied by
Executive.
EUGENE. Or., Oct. 9. (Special.)
Governor West tonight qualified the
statement made at Alvadore, 11 miles
west of Eugene, Tuesday night, when
he openly admitted that R. A. Booth
got his timber honestly. He said that
he admitted it. but that he admitted it
"for sake of argument." He heralded
his qualification by a broad denial of
ever making the statement published
declaring that it was framed against
him by The Oregonian and a Eugene
paper as a campaign move.
"I didn't make such a statement. 1
didn't sta"rt this for the purpose of
telling how Mr. Booth got his money.
I just wanted to compare the types of
the two men. The Oregonian said I
admitted Mr. Booth got his money
honestly. It thought it was going to
play a little game, and I'm not going
to forget that, because they will use it
against me in the campaign. I didn't
tell anyone Mr. Booth got his money
honestly.
"I said: 'Mr. Booth's a millionaire.'
There's nothing wrong in that. I said:
'Mr. Booth made his money out of tim
ber.' and there's no harm in that. 1
said the only question is how he got
that timber. I said I didn't want to go
into that question, but I said I knew
all about haK he got it, and I said for
the sake of-'Argument I'm willing to
admit that he got his timber honestly."
The Eugene Guard, an Independent
newspaper friendly to Governor West,
quotes the Governor as having made
the following statement in his speech:
"Governor Oswald West in an address
at a Democratic meeting at Alvadore
Tuesday night referring to R. A. Booth.
Republican candidate for the United
States Senate, said:
- " 'I know Mr. Booth lias a large
amount of money and I know how he
got it. And I am going to admit that
Mr. Booth got every dollar of his
money honestly.' "
This is in accord with The Orego-
nian's report and with the testimony
of others who have been asked by The
Oregonian as to the accuracy of the
Eugene correspondent as to what the
Governor said.

FAMINE PROTEST
MADE TO AMERICA
Belgium Says Germans Are
Permitting Brussels Folk
to Face Starvation.
SUPPLIES WAIT IN ENGLAND
Arrangement to Assure Britain Her
Foe Will Xot Get Shipment Is
Impossible United States
Minister Tries to Aid.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9. The Belgian
Minister filed with the State Depart
ment a protest from his government
against the threatened famine in Brus
sels, said to be due to the ravages
caused by the German army. The mes
sage from the Belgian FoPelgn Office
and filed with the department says:
"The civil authorities of the Brussels
agglomeration inform the government
that Brussels faces famine. Violating
once more the rights of mankind,-and
namely, article 43, of the fourth con
vention of The Hague, the German
army, after having -taken away from
the population an important part of its
resources, Is getting ready to let it
starve. The same information is com
ing from Namur and Luxemburg.
"The Belgian government protests
with the utmost indignation against
this revolting act of barbarism and
brings it to the knowledge and appre
ciation of the civilized nations."
Snppllen Walt in England.
"""The Brussels agglomeration" is the
name given to the city proper and the
surrounding suburbs, which are formed
Into one civil community.
The Belgian protest recalled to offi
cials here the reported effort of United
States Minister Whitlock at Brussels
to arrange for the delivery to the pop
ulation of a la.rge amount of supplies
now held in England. The British gov
ernment was said to have refused per
mission to export the supplies unless
guaranteed that they would not be used
by German soldiers. This it has, been
impossible to arrange, since the Ger
mans control the territory into which
the supplies must go.
Germans Helleved Needing Food.
Under The Hague conventions the
maintenance of the civilian population
of a captured territory is a duty rest
ing on the captors. ' It was said here
tonight that if conditions in Brussels
were as stated in the Belgian protest,
it was evidence that Germany lacked
supplies there for more than her own
army, and that this rendered the relief
of the Belgians a more difficult prob
lem, as foodstuffs would be liable to
seizure for the fighting men.
The report that supplies for captured
Belgian towns were being held in Eng
land came in recent dispatches from
London.
At the Belgian Legation tonight it
was said no information as to recent
developments had been received, but
that it was hoped that Minister Whit
lock would find a way to arrange for
their delivery.
. J. K. GILL OIES
PORTLAND RESIDENT FOR 42 YEARS
PASSES 'AWAY'.
Family Lone Identified With Progress
of Oreson, Father Being; Missionary
and First Provisional Treasurer.
One of the best-known and respected
of Portland's residents for the past 43
years, Mrs. J. K. Gill, died yesterday
morning, after an illness of several
months. Mrs. Gill was 67 years of age,
but until her last illness had been ac
tive in charitable work.
The funeral will be held Monday aft
ernoon at 2 o'clock at the First Meth
odist Episcopal Church, at Twelfth and
Taylor streets.
Frances Aurelia Willson was born in
Salem, Or., July 13, 1847. She wa the
eldest of three daughters of Dr. W. H.
and Mrs. C. A. Willson. both of wtiom
came to Oregon as missionaries under
the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Her mother was one of the
large company who came around Cape
Horn on the shin Lausanne, arriving in
Oregon the last of May, 1840. Her
father arrived three years earlier. Her
mother's maiden name was Chloe A.
Clarke. She was born in Connecticut
in 1818 and educated at Wilbraham
Academy in Massachusetts. The voy
age occupied six months, during which
time Miss Clarke taught the children
who were on board the ship.
On August 16. 1840. Dr. Willson and
Miss Clarke were married at Fort Nis
qually, then a missionary station, now
the site of the Dupont Powder Works,
and were the -first white couple mar
ried in the Puget Sound basin. They
afterward moved back to Salem. Soon
after the Methodist Mission was located
at Salem a school composed of Indian
and white children was taught by Mrs.
Willson.
The little school grew in numbers ana
importance and early in 1842 became
the Oregon Institute. The school con
tinued to grow and in the latter part
of 1853 it w-as incorporated as Willam
ette University. Dr. Willson, as did
others of the missionaries, took up a
donation land claim, upon part of which
is now the City of Salem. Dr. Willson
laid out the city and its wide streets
and beautiful Willson avenue, on -which
stand the Statehouse and other public
buildings, are a lasting monument to
his generosity.
Dr. Willson took an important part
in the early history of Oregon. When
the provisional government was or
ganized at Champoeg on May 2, 1843,
he was chosen its first treasurer and
in January. 1849. was one of the eight
members of the Oregon Exchange Com
pany, which made the historic "Beaver
money" at Oregon City, the first gold
coined on the Pacific Coast. The amount
coined was $58,500. $30,000 in $5 pieces
and $28,500 In $10 pieces. The $5 pieces
bore the first letter of the names of
the members of the Exchange Company,
the letter "W" representing Dr. Will
son. After the death of Dr. Willson in
1856 Mrs. Willson took her three daugh
ters to New England to attend school.
They resided some time in Connecticut
and afterward moved to Wilbraham,
Mass. While there attending the acad
emy In 1862, Mies Willson became en
gaged to J. K. Gill, who was also a
student there.
In 1SSJ Mrs. Willson returned with
her family to Salem and the education
of her daughters was continued in Wil
lamette University, Miss Willson grad
uating in the class of 1863. In 1866 Mr.
Gill moved to Oregon from Massachu
setts and was married to Miss Willson
at Salem on August 17. In 1871 both
families moved to Portland and lived
together until the death of Mrs. Will
son on June 2, 187.
Mrs. Gill was the mother of six chil
dren, Mark Willson Gill. Mrs. J. L.
Hartman. Mrs. W. A. Montgomery, Mrs.
E. B. London, Mrs. Hugh Montgomery
and Miss Frances Gill, all of whom live
in Portland. A sister. Mrs. Rats Dil
lingham, also lives in Portland, the last
of the three Willson sisters. One sis
ter, Mrs. Belle Wythe, died in Oak
land. Cal., in 1907.-
Mrs. Gill was a member of the Taylor-street
Methodist Episcopal Church
and subsequently of Grace Church. She
was always ready to assist in all char
itable work. While her life was largely
domestic, she possessed more than or
dinary musical, literary and artistic
ability. Her life has been a blessing
to all who knew her and her memory
will be precious to her own and her
children's children. -
ALLEGED PLOTTER ITELD
PLAJf TO ROB MEN IX ROOMING
HOUSE FOILED, SAY POLICE.
Wrong Man Taken Into Proposed
Scheme- to Get C200O Results in Ar
rest of James Oven as Conspirator.
An alleged plot to hold up two men
in a Third-street rooming-house and
rob them of at least $2000 known to
be in their possession was frustrated
yesterday when Fred Klose, of 433 Mar
ket street, on the fire department
eligible list, reported to the detective
department the scheme he said a man
had unfolded to him. As a result James
Oven. 22 years old. Is in the City Jail
charged with being- the chief conspir
ator. Oven met Klose on Fourth street, as
certained that he was out of employ
ment and proposed to him that they
rob the men in the rooming-house, it
is alleged. He said he had watched
them through a keyhole counting $50,
and that he had seen at least $2000, ac
cording to Klose. Oven said he had
made a skeleton key to open the door
connecting his room with that of the
Greeks, Klose avers. Oven proposed,
according to Klose, that they first try
to chloroform the men as they slept,
and, if they woke up, to sandbag them.
He said he would do it himself if there
was only one man, bur that he needed
a partner and that he had often "pulled
such Jobs" before, Klose- says.
Klose made an appointment to meet
Oven last night, pretending to agree
to the alleged plot. He then reported
to the detectives and was told by Act
ing Captain Tichenor to "go through
with it." He met Oven and while the
two wre on their way to the rooming
house Detectives Vaughn and Grisim
arrested them.
Oven made a confession to the de
tectives. Klose was commended by
Acting Captain Tichenor for his action
in helping avert the proposed crime.
TAX fWuloOPPflSEO
NEWSPAPERS WILLING TO rAY,
BUT OBJECT TO DELAYS.
Issuance of Bills of Lading Would En
tall Going; to Press -Many Honrs
' In Advance of Shipment.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Newspaper
publishers generally are preparing to
ask the Senate to change that portion
of House war revenue bill providing
for a stamp on the bills of lading on
all packages so that it will not be
necessary to attach bills of lading to
bundles of newspapers. The newspaper
owners do not object to paying, the tax,
but regard the method of levying as
impracticable.
They contend that neither the rail
roads nor other transportation com
panies will hold their cars until news
papef packages are checked, stamped
and receipted for.
A statement Issued by the Pittsburg
publishers giving their objections to
the House bill and offering suggea
tions for change says:
"To comply with provisions of the
proposed law would be to require news
paper publishers to go to press many
hours before time of shipment and
their news value would become of
little worth. Many hours' time and
great labor would be required to make
out manifests for each bundle and af
fix stamps thereto, with still additional
delay made necessary by cancellation
of same by railroad employes, making
a compliance with the requirements of
the proposed tax practically a physical
impossibility.
",W respectfully suggest that the
paragraph relating to shipment of
newspapers b,e changed so that the
payment of the tax does not demand
the issuance of manifests or bills of
lading; that instead of placing stamps
for cancellation each newspaper be
taxed on its sworn circulation state
ment now made semi-annually to the
United States Government and paid
daily, weekly, seml-raonthly, monthly,
semi-annually, or annually, as may be
imposed, either applying on past busi
ness or payable in advance."
EDUCATOR DEFENDS KAISER
California University Head Says
"War Lord" Is Peace Advocate.
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Oct.
9. (Special.) "The European war
came about against the interests,
against the desires, and against the
efforts of the German Kaiser," said
President Wheeler in a recent address.
He described a long talk that he had
with the Emperor in June, 1913, just
before he celebrated the 25th anniver
sary' of his accession. During the con
versation the Kaiser reviewed the ex
periences and problems of the empire
under his rule.
The president, who is a warm friend
of Emperor Wilhelm, maintained that
the present ruler of Germany had al
ways been an advocate of peace.
LANE OPPOSES WAR TAX
Oregon Democratic Senator to Make
Speech Against Measure.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Oct. 9. Senator Lane, of Ore
gon, intends to vote against the Admin
istration's war tax bill. He believes
that the imposition of this tax is not
necessary if administrative officers
will practice economy in expenditure of
publio money. '
Senator Lane refused to attend the
recent Democratic caucus at which an
attempt was made to frame a pro
gramme on the tax bill, and he expects
to make a speech in . opposition to the
bill before it reaches a vote.

Candidate's Campaign.
'BOOTH DAY" PLANS LAID
N'on-Partisan Organization to Stir
Interest or Sex in" Election,
Take in AH Eugene Voters and
Assist in Other Ways.
EUGENE, Or., Oct. 9. (Special.)
Fourteen women, close neighbors of R.
A. Booth, came together this afternoon
to form the nucleus of what is to be a
city-wide "Booth Club." formed among
the women of Eugene.
The organization was designed to
meet a desire of those; not politicians,
who wish to show their loyalty to the
Eugene man and to participate in the
state-wide ovation that Is being given
this candidate for the United States
Senate.
The organization formed today la
non-partisaV Its aim is to create an
interest among the women voters and
to create enthusiasm about the State
of Oregon in this election. It also
hopes to be able to call attention of
