Oil CASHIER
ft. L. Glisan Says He Had No
Voice in Direction of
Company-Affairs.
DR. WILSON'S NAME USED
Physician. Testifies He Learned of
Membership First From Word
Sent by Prosecutor and Xever
Attended Conferences.
v"hen Rodney L. Glisan, prominent
Portland lawyer and business man,
bought 330 shares of United States
Cashier Company stock in May, 1912,
bo was put on the much-discussed "ad
visory board" and received a special
contract to that effect, he testified in
the Cashier Company trial yesterday.
Under this contract he and other
members of the advisory board, repre
eenting not to exceed 30,000 shares, it
was set forth, were to divide 5 per cent
of the gross proceeds from the sale of
money machines until dividends reached
15 per cent
Several witnesses have testified and
many, letters have already been in
troduced by the Government to. show
that this "advisory board" was a sort
of paper honor, used with good effect
by salesmen to flatter prospects into
buying- stock.
Advisory Board . Attracts Bayers .
If they bought so much stock, wit
nesses said, it was represented, they
would be made members of the "ad
visory board" with a voice in the
councils of the company, and in some
cases, like that of Mr. Glisan, with con
tracts conferring preferred stock priv
ileges. As previous testimony has
shown, this prospective honor fre
quently brought prospects into line.
In other cases, according to wit
nesses, influential buyers of stock
would be put on the "advisory board"
without their knowledge and their
names used in advertisements to give
weight to the company's claims.
"Did you ever receive any notice of
your appointment to the advisory
beard of the United States Cashier
Company?" asked United States At
torney Reameg of Mr. Glisan.
"I received no notice except the origi
nal agreement to become a member, as
contained in the contract, which was
sent me by Mr. Menefee in May, 1912."
Use of Name Is Stopped.
"Did you ever take any part in the
management of affairs of the com
pany?" "None whatever.
"Ever see your name used in ad
vertisements in the papers?"
"Yes." responded Mr. Gltsan. "I saw
it used in a list of officers, directors
and members of the advisory board."
"What did you do?" inquired the
United States Attorney.
"I wrote a letter to Mr. Skidmore,
with the company, saying I was dis
pleased at having my name used that
way, and did.not wish to have it hap
pen again."
"Then what?"
"I didn't see it so used again.
Mr. Glisan was not cross-examined.
Another witness called by the Gov
ernment to testify to having been a
member of the advisory board was Dr.
H. C. Wilson, who has practiced medi
cine in Portland for 33 years.
Doctor Vmavrare of Honor.
Dr. "Wilson, said he hadn't known
about his membership on the advisory
board until he got a letter from the
United States Attorney about three
months, ago asking about it.
"That was your first notification?"
"To the best of my knowledge, It
was." said Dr. Wilson.
He testified that he had never at
tended a meeting nor known about one.
"Will you swear you never got a
notification, that you had been appolnt
' ed to the advisory board?" asked At
torney Martin L. Pipes on cross-examination.
Most of the cross-examination was
on very technical grounds, but the
points the defense sought to bring out
may be summed up briefly about as
, follows:
That the patent office itself has no
Jurisdiction over patent infringements,
.and that what it considered infringe
ments might not be so considered by
a court of proper jurisdiction; and fur
thermore, that the subject of patent
rights and infringements is so technical
that it should be tried out before courts
of competent jurisdiction in patent
matters and not before a jury in
criminal case.
Bllyen Principles Called Present.
"No. sir; I won't swear to it." said
, Dr. Wilson.
"Will you swear that you were not
notified of the meetings?"
"I won't swear to it," said Dr. Wilson,
"but I am positive I was not."
the greater part of the day was
' taken up with the cross-examination of
E. D. Sewall, examiner in charge of
the classification bureau of the United
States Patent Office, by Joseph L, At
kins, expert on patent law, for the
defense.
Mr. Sewall's cross-examination had
begun the day previous and continued
until 3:30 o clock yesterday.
That Thomas Bilyeu received certain
basic patent rights in the first Bilyeu
patent and that these basic principles
were present in and governed the
action of machines advertised by the
company on October 19. 1911. so that
officials of the company were acting
. in good faith when they advertised that
they owned and controlled the patents.
In his testimony Thursday, Mr. Se
wall had said that the work of Mr.
Bilyeu in these money machine inven
tions was work of a high inventive
order and that the Patent Office had
been liberal in allowing protection for
. the art-
Attorney Atkins finally asked Mr,
Sewall in yesterday's cross-examin
, tlon to quote from the Constitution of
the United States.
"If you want the Constitution, why
don't you go and look it up?" put in
Judge Bean.
"We are not going to try the validity
of the patents, the judge continued
. "We are interested merely in the pat
ents as to whether they show good
faith. I have permitted a long-drawn-out
cross-examination of nearly two
days that does not seem to me to have
' any bearing on the case. Just because
I have not wished to shut out anything
' I could help, but I cannot see what the
. Cnstitutlon has to do with, it at all.
Examination Admits Some Patents.
Mr. Atkins soon after concluded his
. cross-examination, although he said he
had not yet gone into some of the
patents.
He devoted much time in his cross
. examination to proving that if the Na
tlonal Cash Register Company shoul
commence suit against the United
' states Cashier Company for patent in
. frlngement, the latter could defend
itself provided it could prove that the
state of the prior art disclosed tha
some one else had a computing ma
chine in use before the Osborne, or
National Cash Register machine.
BOARD
On re-direct examination.
Unlted
States Attorney Reames brought out
that the state of the prior art would
be limited to the filing date of the
Osborne patent, which was 1891.
A great part of the testimony in the
patent cases has been so complicated
and technical that a mere layman can
hardly follow it
More Letters Are Read.
' Before closing for the day the Gov
ernment introduced and read a number
of letters intended to show that of
ficials of the United States Cashier
Company were aware of the possibility
of patent complications with the Pay o
graph of Nelson C. Oviatt, for a long
period.
"Damn that Payograph," was the
strong language used by Edward C
Baker, then auditor of the United States
Cashier Company, in a letter in 1913 to
Mr. Menefee.
In a letter to Salesman Hunter. Frank
Menefee, president of the company,
spoke of having knovn of the Payo
graph for three years. The letter was
written in June. 1913.
This was all introduced to bear out
the Government's contention that offi
cials of the company were not acting
in good faith In their assertions that
they expected to have machines soon
on the market
Case May Last Over Prediction.
It is doubtful if the Government will
be able to close at noon today, as an
nounced yesterday by United States At
torney Reames. If the Government
does not end its case until Monday, the
defense will ask. a recess of one day
to enable them to prepare their case
for introduction.
Just how long it will take to in
troduce testimony In behalf of the
seven defendants could not be more
than guessed at by the attorneys yes
terday, but it was believed it would,
take at least ten days.
Arguments are expected to consume
another week, so it may be three
weeks before the case is submitted to
the Jury.

THRONG LISTEN AT HEILIG
Ex-Secretary of State Discusses lie
li&ion and Says lie "Will Be
Political Champion of
Common Tropic.
Man's trinity of fundamental duties
his relation to Government, his rela
tion to society and his relation to his
Creator were discussed before a large
audience at the Heilig Theater last
night by William Jennings Bryan,
thrice candidate for President, Demo
cratic leader and until recently Sec
retary of State in President Wilson's
Cabinet.
Mr. Bryan's lecture was delivered
under the auspices of local charities
and as the theme implies, was a mixture
of religion, politics and social economy.
It contained, moreover renewed declara
tions of his well-known peace prin
ciples. Aa an orator Mr. Bryan has lost
none of his eloquence. He has the same
smooth, easy flow of language that
early brought him into prominence. He
spoke last night, as of yore, without
apparent effort. the words Appling
from his mouth like the water of a
brook flowing between Its banks.
Support of President Pledged. .
While his lecture was made tha
vehicle for presenting Mr. Bryan's
philosophy on the fundamentals of life.
its more serious parts were tempered
with a dash of subtle humor that did
not fall to win manifestations of ap
proval from his hearers.
His formal address was prefaced by
a direct reference to his late relations
with President Wilson, whose efforts to
preserve the peace of the Nation he
said he was eager to support.
None of you Is more anxious to
assist the Preeident in the arduous
work of his office than I am,' he de
clared. "And I think 1 am able to help
him in a large measure if 'I am able
to crystallize the peace sentiment of
the country and drown out the Jingo
press which Is trying to thrust the
country into a furor of war.
20 Yearn More Predicted.
He then explained the three funda
mental relationships of life as he sees
them relationship to government, to
society and to God. This is the Inverse
order of their importance, he said. He
pointed out that he seldom has oppor
tunity to expound his doctrines on this
subject. Inasmuch aa they do not fit
into either a political speech or a re
ligious sermon.
In this connection he took occasion
to serve notice on his political oppon
ents that he expects to be In politics
ior at least zo years yet. and that he
will, at all times, "champion the cause
of the common people and challenge
the representatives of predatory wealth
by voice or by pen, wherever I can
una tnem.
In entering a discussion of man's re
latlon to his government he aeserted
that government is not always essen
tial to happiness.
Man's happiness," he said, "depends
on so many things besides government
mai a man can be happy under the
worst government ana can be miser
able under the best government."
At this point he interjected his first
numorous thrust by remarking drily:
I nave personal proof of this state.
ment, for I have been very happy under
republican government.-
Direct Legislation Approved.
He asserted repeatedly that the tnrm
or government in use in the I'nlte.l
States is the best the world has ever
known and expressed his satisfaction
over me recent "corrections" the In
come tax and the direct election of
United States senators. He referred to
me initiative and referendum and tha
enfranchisement of women voters aa
turiner "steps in the right direction.'
"isut no government Is perfect." he
continued, and then aroused his hearers
to nearty laughter by adding: "I can
prove that by any number of Republi
cans when the Democrats are In power,
and when the Republicans are in power
I don't need any proof." -
Taking up his serious discussion he
asserted emphatically and repeated:
"Our government can be made as good
as the people deserve to have it." and
"the people have a right to have what
they want in government."
Referendum On AVer Proposed.
He said he would make the second
statement atrongar if he could, and de.
clared that "people have a right to
make their own mistakes. If you con.
alder that stronger."
Then, while people were pondering
over this declaration, he added, with a
smile:
"And far be it from one of my ex
perience to say that the people don't
make mistakes."
He added that the Initiative and
referendum have been established on
the theory that people have a right to
make their own mistakes, and then
made one of the most sensational state,
ments of the evening when he advo.
cated applying the referendum on the
question or declaring war.
v nue no one prays more earnestly
man x ao inai mis Nation never will
go to war with anyone, the people. If
they want war. have a right to war,"
he asserted, growing quite heated in his
utterance.
"And I favor a vote on it," he con.
tlnued. "I favor a vote, with the under
standing that those who vote for war
anouja go to war first.
es. ana i it go farther. If you per-
mil me. in explain that I am a Jour
nallst. That's what I am. although
mix in a good many other things, and I
nave a pride in my profession.
"Now I propose that If the people
want war. those of the Jingo press, who
seem to want it the worst, ehould
have the chance of going to war first,
o that they may have the glory of
dying first."
He closed his discussion of man's re
latlons to his government by urging
mat tne science or government b
taught to every boy and girl who at
tends the schools. He pointed out that
the average boy or girl leaves school
before he or she has had the oppor
tunity to study government.
"No boy or girl should leave school. "
he declared, "before he or she has been
taught that it la treason to govern
ment to try to thwart the wll of th
people, either by cunning or by force.
Man's Relationship to Society.
Man p relationship to society wss
presented in the form of an equation
on the theory that society owes to man
a lust reward for the services that
he renders society.
"How much can a man rightfully
collect from- society?" he asked, and
emphasised the word "rightfully."
BRYAN
"Not more than he honestly earns,"
he snswersd.
"How much can he honestly earn?"
was his next question.
"Not more than fairly measure the
service he renders society." was hi
answer. And if this service la to be
measured in dollars and cents, he said.
that it 1 possible theoretically pos.
slble for a man to earn as much a
$500,000,000 in a single lifetime.
The service rendered to society by
Thoma Jefferson, by Abraham Lin
coln, by the discoverer of steam power
and by the discoverer of electric energy
is worth more than 500.ooo.ouo. ac
cording to Mr. Bryan's opinion, but be
pointed out that neither of these men
collected that much.
Mr. Bryan was greeted with long-
continued applause when he entered th
theater. He was -accompanied by Sen
ators Lane and Chamberlain, while a
large group of citizens, most of them
prominent Democrats, sat upon th
stage of the Heilig. Ex-Governor West
introduced him. declaring that he had
elected to devote bis life to the common
people, laboring for "peace on earth
and good-will toward men."
BRYAN PARRIES QUERY

he exclaimed in telling of hi impres
sions last night. "It is truly wonder

Mr. Bryan took occasion here to an
nounce his firm belief In the good roads

In building a road to Crater Lake Na

LONDON. July 0. The Rome cor
respondent of Reuter s Telegram Com
pany say that in tonight's Issue of
be Osservatore Romano, official organ
of the Vatican, there appears a letter
addressed by Tope Benedict to th
head of the belligerent countries. In
viting all friend of peac to unite
with him In hi desire to terminate
the war.
In this letter, which was written on
the anniversary of the outbreak of the
war. July 2S, the Pope asks why there
aTiould not be Initiated a direct or In
direct eschange of views "In an en
deavor if possible to arrange aspira
tions so that all should be contented."
The correspondent quotes from the
etter as follows:
It is our firm determlnstlon to de
vote every activity to a reconciliation
cf the people now engaged in this
fratricidal strut-1. Todsy, on th ssd
anniversary of the outbreak of this
tremendous conflict, ther issue from
our hearts an earnest prayer for a
cessation of the war. It must not bo
said that this conflict cannot be settled
without armed violence. Put away
mutual desire for destruction ana re
flect that nations do not die; If humil

retaliate by transmitting from genera
tion to generation hatred and a desire
for revenge.
Whv should not a direct or an In
direct exchange of views be Initiated
