by Prr-lilcnt of Bar.
SAX f-RANCllrCO. Ann. J. The spirit
of unrest, the multiplicity of laws and
the denunciation of bench and bar
were phasea of life attain! which pro
testa were made today py Itobert M.
KitJc.rald. of Oakland. III. president
of th. California Bar Association, at
the opening acssion of Ita sixth annual
tonv-ntmn.
"The sponsor of every 'lam.' aa well
aa the professional reformer, the dem
ac"cue. the muck-raker and the noisy
politician, all ara voicing ihrlr views."
itr. Kltscerald said.
"All of these elements are lending to
fan th. flame of unrest among many
hnnest an1 patriotic cltliens until
they h.Mrt. that the world haa gone
wrong and ihrr oftrn Join In the at
tack Ihemsrlvrs.
"Iadrrs and ramp followers have
joined In th. general slea. and all In
terest, h.ve t.een attacked, existing
taws defied, courts discredited and the
business assaulted from every angle,
so that the business men of today are
almost marked aa criminate and what
ever they suggest la certain of defeat.
ne are living amid strange conditions
at a peculiar time.
"In thia general whirlpool of de
nunciation, the lawyer has not been
ner'ected.
"The concern of the day. however. Is
not tha criticism of the lawyer, but the
criticism which leads to contempt of
our laws and distrust of our judiciary,
and an effort, well-defined, positive In
character, to set aside the constitution,
the fundamental governing law of the
land, the only protection which the
weak and tha minority have against
the mob and the Influence of public
passion and distrust.
"Seeds of discord have been sown
to such an extent that thousands of
our best cltis.ns are led by the dema
gogue, the opportunist and tha muck
raker to believe that all our Institu
tions are rotten and our lam-s nut
worthy of consideration."
Mr. Fitsgerald Urged the lawyers to
exert their power, through bar asso
ciations andas Individuals, to counter
act these Influences and to continue
their work to clarify the law and to
simplify procedure.

JAIL PRANK PLAYED
Attorneys, Locked Up. Have
Adventure With "Madman.'
PRISONERS WATCH IN GLEE
Prosecutors Behind Bars Hold Kan
Karoo Court and RpfreMiincnla
Are forced by "Tru.lleV;
Victims Arc Joked.
The fondest wish of many of the
prisoners In the Multnomah county
Jail waa realized yesterday. They ssw
40 prosecuting attorneya behind tne
bara with the double locks locked and
the best grade, of manganese steel
separating them from liberty.
Tba affair waa planned between
Sheriff Hurlburt and District Attorney
Kvans. The prosecuting attorneys are
n Portland from all parts of Uresoo
and Washington attending the Joint
meeting of the bar associations of the
wo states.
They met for a little convention of
heir own at the Benson Hotel yester
day morning. When it waa nearly over
Mr. r.vans announced that eherin Hurl
burt had Invited them to see a genuine
burtlar-proof jail.
"The Sh-rtfT is proud of his jail and
want you gentlemen, who have con
signed so many people to placea of
his sort, to sea It. said Mr. Evans
mildly. "There will be a conveyance
downstairs when you leave tha hotel.'
- Locka Ara Tamed YUK.re.
The conveyance proved to be a big
Patrol wagon. Twenty-five of the via
tor were bundled Into tha wagon, and
he rest were Invited to walk with Dis
trict Attorney Evans and hi deputies.
At the jail George Tatena. jailer.
showed them about the corridors:
showed them the prisoners and how
they were kept and fed. and then
asked them to Inspect one of tha cor
ridors'.
The prosecutors, all unsuspecting.
filed Into tha corridor past Mr. Yatena.
who held the two ateel doors Invitingly
open.
No sooner were they all In than tne
heavy doors clanged, a lever waa
pulled, locks clicked, and the 40 prose-
utnrs were behind bars.
The dinner call was sent out. "tr lis
le" dropped the steel shelves which
serve as tablea for the prisoners, and
the affair began to look grave.
"Kangaroo court! yelled ona of the
prosecutors, who waa first to appre
ciate tha situation.
They seised Charles O. Flint, of Jef
ferson County. Washington, and. while
Mrs. Flint looked on from the outside,
fined him a dollar and a half for not
knowing why he wa In Jail.
Jail by some of these same prosecutors,
gleefully started serving dinner. The
dinner." Instead of beef atew or aoup
and potatoes or pork and beans, proved
to be brick Ice cream, which the district
attorneys ate with relish.
Madanaa Pats Party te Plight.
Another little surprise was In store
for them as soon as they were releaaed.
which was In about 10 minutes. They
were Invited to look over the Insane
ward. Not having heard of the fate of
the Salt 1-ake ball team a few daya
before, they filed past the padded cells
and gazed curiously at the two Inmates.
One waa very peaceable.
The other growled ferociously, glared
at the onlookers and shook tha bars
with his huge hands. His face was
scarred, his eyes black, and the side
of his head smeared with red.
The crowd gathered to stare at the
madman tn awe. He was a huge hairy
man. and hla looks were enough to
strike fear Into the hearts even of a
prosecutor. n
Suddenly there was a crash, the
sound of smashing gtasa. the door flew
open and tha "madman" sprung: out
among them.
C G. Jeffers. of Ephrats, 'Wash., took
tha four-foot Iron railing at a singls
leap. The crowd of prosecutors tum
bled back In confusion. There waa a
succession of wild yells which soon
turned Into wild laugha. The "madman"
stopped, grinned cordially at the pros
ecutors and wiped the "blood" off his
face. The soars came away at the
same stroke of his bandana.
The district attorneya then were In
troduced to Bill Coen. the "trusty" who
had acted the part of madman for the
Salt Lake ball team a few days before.

'Belter Rejiute for Profession."
SAX FRANCISCO, Aug. 23. Hope
that advances might be made toward
'a better repute for our profession
was voiced today at tha opening sen
slon of the sixth annual convention of
the Cslifornia Bar Association by Jesse
w. J.lllenthal, president of the ban
Francisco Bar Association and presi
dent of the United Railroads.
Mr. Lillenthal said: "Somehow the
bsnch and members of our profession
ara not in good repute with the people.
May we not hope that this convention
will make some progress in paving the
way for a more creditable record.
"1 thought it epochal when Dr. Had
ley, president of Yale University, sor
rowfully admitted recently that it was
proving Increasingly difficult to re
fute the charge that representative
government had proved a failure.
"And yet it is the lawyer who gen
erally is selected to make the laws
and interpret and enforce them.
"Wa were told here at the last elec
tion that It was enough to defeat
Judicial candidate to have the San
Francisco Bar Association indorse him.'

22N0 THEFT ADMITTED
ANOTHER VICTIM OF BURGLAR
HAXSOX GETS PROPERTY.
LMt Takes Prase Lavaca ( C. J. John,
sea Is Identlned; Prisoner Refasea
to Help Officers.
The number of crimes attributed to
H. G. Hanson, the burglar who was ar
rested August IS by City Detectives
La Salle, Leonard. Royle and Moloney,
was incressed to 21 yesterday with the
identification of property stolen from
the launch of C. J. Johnson at the foot
of Nebraska street on December 22.
1S14. Thee motorboat had been stripped
from bow to stern, and the missing
equipment was located yesterday In
the drayload of stolen articles taken
from Hanson's houseboat.
Many launch seats, cushions, whistles,
etc, remain among the plunder recov
ered by officers, and are at police head
quarters awaiting identification. Thus
far the police have proved by recovered
loot that Hanson has robbed 20 resi
dences, one business house and small
river craft. Much property thought to
have been stolen from Portland homes
remains unidentified.
Hanson Is held in the County Jail
awaiting action by the grand jury, hav
ing waived a preliminary examination.
The burglar remains stubborn and
will not assist the officers in clearing
up his crimes, though admitting the
commission of those definitely fastened
on him. Saturday he was at police
headquarters most of the afternoon
with City Detectives La Salle and
Leonard, picking out what he said was
his own property from that taken from
the houseboat. Of the hundreds of ar
ticles, those Hanson maintained were

Ex-President, In Answer to Request,
. Says Ideas Soon AMI I Be Pub
lislied; Swooping Onto Visit
ors Injury to Cause.
William Howard Taft did not re
ceive a deputation of suffragists who
waited for two hours on tne mex
zanlne floor of the Hotel Multnomah
yesterday morning and made insistent
efforts to see him.
The delegation had been called to.
gether by Mrs. Lee Davenport, a mem
ber of the Congressional Union, wh
asked aeveral prominent men an
women to attend' and speak a few
words for suffrage, telling of its bene-
tits in Oregon.
Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, who was one
invited, said yesterday in commenting
upon the affair: "Mrs. Davenport
called me up and Invited me to atten
a reception In honor or Mr. i art-
thought It was an ordinary, reception
and although I am busy, I said I would
try. to go. ss I am president of the
Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs
and wished to show my respect."
Indignation at Act Expressed.
But when she called me up the sec
ond time and asked me to speak in
favor of suffrage I immediately sus
pected that this was a aohenie to force
the subject on our guest. 1 am posl
tlvely indignant with this method of
terating distinguished visitors, instead
of helping suffrage, it hurst the cause.
It is an outrage to try to cram suffrage
down the throat of every man who
comes here
"I am In favor of suffrage and we
have in Oregon thousands of fine, in
telligent, womanly woman who are
voters but we can't make men like Mr.
Taft beliove that if we let him go away
with the Idea that all women who vote
are Impetrinent or intrusive."
Mrs. Evans' opinion was echoed by
several others. She did not attend the
meeting.
Mr. Taft Too Bnsy for Interview.
Judge Carey w ho had been ap
crouched regarding plans for the in
terview said yesterday that he deeply
regretted that any misunderstanding
had takn place. He had no power to
make arrangements for Mr. Taft for
that morning but had understood that
the women had made all the arrange
ments themselves. They had asked him
what time would be best and he had
said that Monday morning would be
the only time if it could be arranged
at all. and then he dismissed the mat
ter from his mind. .
"Mr. Taft was very busy and really
had no time to see the women. He
was dressing and dictating letters
when I called for him to go to lunch,"
said Judge Carey.
Ex-Governor T. T. Geer. who attended
the meeting, after waiting in the hall
outside the royal suite at the hotel tele
phoned Mr. Taft, who said that he
knew of no arrangements regarding the
suffragists and that he was busy and
could not see them, hut would express
his views on the suffrsge question in
a weekly periodical soon.
Inslateat N'ote'a Purpose Falls.
Mr. Geer said that the women mere
ly wished to see him and give their
views, but the distinguished visitor
declined.'
Chagrined at the refusal. Mrs. Dav
enport became Insistent and sent up a
note to Mr. Taft, asking an audience.
Ha replied: "I regret exceedingly that
the pressure on me is such that must
deny myself the pleasure.
The suffrsgists who attended the
meeting were Indignant that they were
refused an audience. Many women who
did not attend were indignant that
their Bister voters should force on
every visitor the question that they
declare only hurta the cause instead
of ssslsting It.

Every day s delay now means loss.
Feverish excitement prevails in all
three stores. At each place the man

will be ready to consolidate.
Musical critics are marveling at the
low prices and the many other induce

houses in their effort to merge as
quickly as possible.
To quickly consolidate under one roof.

TWENTY-SEVEN PRETTY GIRLS ARE
APPEARING IN POSES.
Comedy Acta, New Glides, Novelties
and Clever Sketch Make AH of
Bill Unusually Good.
With snappy jokes, lively tunes and
27 maidens at Pantages. that house has
one of the best vaudeville entertain
ments seen in mont'ns. A bill so hap
pily laden with pretty damsels is in it
self extraordinary, but this one is also
richly endowed with the highly artiste
act by Henrietta Ue Serris in which
15 of tne girla are seen. Eitrht of
the world's most wonderful works of
art in marble and paint, are seen in
life, a most attractive headline act.
Banjoes, "fiddles," guitars and - a
clever piano accompanist are agencies
of success to the 11 talented "melody
phiends." In unique pink sashed cos
tumes they make their musical act a
winner.
Portland dancers may take notice of
Mehitable Parsons, the village spinl-
ster, and Constable Hubbard who in
troduce the absolutely new and aes
thetic "Ruben Glide" in an excruciat-
ngly funny original comedy act. An
endless chain of little white balls is
bounced about by the Alexander Bro
thers in a skilful and fascinating man
ner. Humorous as well as varied are the
antics they play with their bounding
balls, and no better novelty act has
been seen for a long time. It em
bodies perfect team work and the
happy results of long and arduous
training and practice.
"Their Wedding Night." by W. Welch
and Louise Carbasse. the beautiful
young Australian actress, is their own
comedy playlet and wins storms of
applause. A light nd catchy plot of
pretty millionairess, who weds
a titled and handsome suitor, is a di-
erting and enjoyable sketch.
"Those University Four," funny as
well as excellent singers, win the ap
preciation and popularity showered
upon them, for they are comedians of
worth and reality.
