13 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, " TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1915. SENTENCE PASSED ! ON CASHIER HEADS Frank Menefee and F. M. Le- Monn to Serve Year and 10 I Days in Federal Prison. IMPASSIONED PLEAS MADE I'our Men Will Serve Four Months Each In County Jail, but Time Granted Fire to Perfect Ap peals, If so Desired. Frank Menefee 'and F. M. LeMonn, president and former sales manager, re spectively, of the United States Cash ier Company, were sentenced yesterday morning to one year and 10 days in the Federal penitentiary on McNeil's Island by Federal Judge Bean. Oscar A. Campbell, vice-president and director; O. E. Gernert, former assistant sales manager, and B. F. Bonnewell and H. M. Todd, former stock salesmen of the same company, were each sentenced by Judge Mean to four months in the County Jail at Portland. All six of the defendants were con victed August 21 last, after a trial con tinuing 46 days, of conspiracy to use the United States mails in furtherance of a fraudulent stock selling scheme. The scenes in the courtroom before Judge Bean pronounced sentence were dramatic in the' extreme. Each of the defendants, with the exception of Mr. Menefee, personally pleaded with the court for leniency, declaring that they had acted in good faith. Mr. LeMonn, who has already passed two months in the County Jail, owing to Inability to raise $5000 bonds, addressed the court for three-quarters of an hour. Attorney Plead for Leniency. Others who addressed the court in cluded Martin L. Pipes, attorney for Mr. Menefee, who declared that if Mr. Menefee were sent to prison his family would be practically destitute and de pendent on charity, and begged Judge Bean to impose a fine instead of a prison sentence; Lark Bilyeu, attorney for Mr. Campbell; John F. Logan, at torney for Mr. Bonnewell and Mr. Todd; A. P. Dobson. attorney for Mr. LeMonn, and Robert F. Maguire, attorney for Mr. Gernert. United States Attorney Reames. re plying briefly, said that the Govern ment In its investigation had found that approximately $1,500,000 had been taken from the investing public by the .defendants, and that nothing had been given in return. All he had tried to do, as prosecutor, he said, was to put the facts squarely before the Jury to fix responsibility. Mr. Reames said further that he would ask the court to take into con sideration that while many of the ap peals for sympathy were such as would move strongly toward leniency, there were almost 3500 stockholders in the company, some of whom had lost the savings of a lifetime through the investments in the United States Cashier stock, who were not repre sented in court. Proceedings Are I.enKthx. Altogether it was a full hour and a half after the defendants had been called before the court until their sen tences were pronounced by Judge Bean. In passing sentence Judge Bean said the duty was one he would gladly pass by If he could do so conscientiously, but that his duty was plain and clear, lie declared that the investing public must be protected by the courts from schemes such as that promoted by the United States Cashier Company. He also expressed "the belief that of all the defendants LeMonn was most culpable, and evidently took this into consideration in giving him the same sentence as Mr. Menefee, notwith standing the fact that he has already passed two months in jail. All the defendants but LeMonn, who expressed a desire to begin serving his sentence at once, were ' granted until December 1 to prepare bills of excep tions and perfect their appeals to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals and were released on bail. United States Attorney Reames asked that bonds in each case be raised from $2500 to $5000, but Judge Bean refused this, ex cept in the case of Mr. Menefee. LeMonn Ready to Go. In accordance with his wish to begin serving his sentence at once and have it over with as quickly as possible, which he repeated later to United States Attorney Reames. LeMonn will be taken to the McNeil's Island peni tentiary this morning. The maximum sentence that could have been imposed on any of the de fendants under the conspiracy law is two years In the penitentiary and $10,000 fine. The law also provides that sentences of one year or less shall be served in the County Jail. The ex tra 10 days in the sentences of Mr. Menefee and Mr. LeMonn automatical ly requires them to serve their time in the Federal penitentiary. Yesterday was the third time the defendants had been before the court for sentence. It was postponed on both occasions because of the absence in Southern Oregon and California of United States Attorney Reames, who returned to Portland yesterday morr. ing. MEXICANS CORNER SISAL AMERICAN ROPE MAKERS AD FARMERS TO FEEL EFFECT. Military Government In Yucatan Forces All Producers to Sell to Its R r present a t tvea On! y. That a corner has been successfully formed on Mexican sisal that will work a. serious handicap on the American rope manufacturers and the trade gen erally, is asserted by S. M. Mears, president of the Portland Cordage Company, who says that action has been taken by one of the warring: fac tions across the border to control the output, a start being1 made by the mi itary authorities of Tucatan. "At our Portland plant we brought in between 2.500.000 'and 3.000.000 pounds of Mexican sisal last year and we were preparing to move about 5000 bales more here when information reached us of this corner." said Mr. Mears. "This is a serious matter that should be brought to the attention of the proper authorities. "The military government of Tu catan has arbitrarily taken over all of the commercial functions of that coun try. For months it has operated the railroads, which are principally owned by French capitalists. It has forced planters to sell all sisal produced to the representative of the government only. It has successfully prevented any shipments of sisal by any private firm or individual. "In fact. - it haa at the moment the most complete monopoly which h ever existed In any Important com mercial commodity. The effect will be that -United States farmers will have to pay higher prices for next year's twine, as Manila fibers will have to come more in use for harvesting twine in place of the cheaper sisal fiber. In the aggregate it will add millions to the farmers' cost. "Whether the recognition of Carran za and the attempt to return to civil government in the different states in Mexico will have any effect on the sisal monopoly of Tucatan remains to be determined. "The conditions mentioned will, however, prove beneficial to those who are interested in Manila fiber. Binder twine manufacturers have already turned their heads toward Manila fiber as shown by the unusually large quan tities of Manila that is being shipped to this country as rapidly as circum stances will permit. Up to October 20 there were over 3S.000 bales shipped to the United States, principally across the Pacific, and we have in formation to the effect that still larg er quantities will come forward dur ing November." HOUDINI THRILLS CROWD ESCAPE FROM STRAITJACKET IN MIDAIR VIEWED BY THOUSANDS, Hoisted by Heels. Orphenm Performer Frees Himself From Detectives' Lacing; In HO Seconds Several thousand persons gasped yesterday at the sight of a man dang ling from a beam that protruded from Houdini Freeing Himself From traitjacket in Midair. window on the third floor of The Oregonian building. It was a looked-forward-to gasp, however, and was not accompanied by any fearsome thrills. The multitude had gathered to see Hou- dini. Orpheum mystiner, attempt to re lease himself from a straitjacket while hung by his feet in midair. Houdini succeeded, and the applause following the feat was mighty enough to remind one of the political cheers that have rung out before an electric bulletin board at the same corner. "If you get out of this you are i snake and shed your skin," said De tective Snow as he and Detective Cole man strained their arms in buckling a police station straitjacket on Houdini. Houdini smiled. Hoist away!" megaphoned Detective Snow to the piano-mover standing by. and Houdini, strapped so tight he could hardly breathe, was raised from the auto truck by his feet as If he were a piece of cargo at the mercy of long shoremen. Up, up went Houdini until he -was abreast the window of the office occupied by "Bill" Goldman. Houdini, incumbered as he was in upside-down flight, moved his feet twice to signal "enough," the safety line was made fast and the piano-mover stopped hoist ing. Houdini looked over the crowd smil tngly, twisting himself to include all the vast crowd in his gaze, and set to work to free himself from the strait jacket, which he accomplished in ex actly 110 seconds. "111 be hanged!" exclaimed Detective Coleman. "No, I am." said Houdini. laughing in his uncomfortable midair position. Houdini then was lowered to the bed of the auto truck and terrific applause greeted accomplishment of his feat.

PREPARATION FOR .PEACE IS ADVICE Senator Borah Urges Putting Up Tariff Bars for Flood of Competition. REVENUES NEEDED, TOO Bond Issue to Pay for Defense Held Vnjust Europe Will Have Cheap Labor at End of War, Senator Avers. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Oct. 25. "It is probable that the most difficult part of the pro gramme of preparedness will be that of the manner of raising the revenue to take care of expenses," declared Senator William B. Borah, of Idaho. in an authorized interview today. "We certainly ought not to be called -upon to issue bonds." he added. "It would be unwise and unjust to do so. It would seem that in a time of peace and when we are enjoying tremendous profits from feeding and arming and financing great armies in Europe we ought to be able to take care of the expenses of a reasonable programme of preparedness without resorting to the selling of bonds. "It is a wise rule In these matters. and certainly in times of peace, to pay as we go and not put upon posterity our expenditure. I cannot speak for anyone except myself, and do not as sume to, but I am much opposed to the issuing of bonds and shall to the extent of my limited influence op pose it. Tariff Removal Benefits None. "It must be apparent to anyone that our revenue laws are not working sat isfactorily. We gave up some of our best sources of revenue in the Under wood bill and have undertaken to make up for it by imposing an annoy ing and burdensome special tax. No ne has benefited in the least by cut ting off 128,000,000 which we were collecting on wool. The consumers have not been benefited. No benefit has been derived from giving over the 20.ooo.ooo on sugar, and the proposal embodied in the law, astounding as it seems, is to give over $40,000,000 more. These two items alone about make up the amount which is levied in the way f a special war tax' although the only thing the war had to do with the tax was to christen it. 'We now have a tariff tax, an in- come tax, the internal revenue tax, a pecial "war tax.' and it is proposed to issue bonds. We will have to turn back and overhaul the Underwood bill and reconstruct it so as to make it at east a revenue-producing bill, if noth ing more. It was pointed out clearly at . the time of its enactment that it would not produce sufficient revenue. and it was disclosed even before .the war broke out that it was inefficient as a revenue-producing bill. Peace Promise Competition. 1. venture to believe that we are no better prepared for peace than we are for war. If you will reflect upon the conditions of this country indus trially as they existed before the war and as to the probable conditions which will likely follow the war, it must be apparent that we are not prepared for peace. Therefore, while we are calling n experts to assist in a programme by means of which we are to build up the Navy and strengthen the Army, it would be a most wise and provident thing if we would call the judgment of expert economists and publicists to consider wrhere we shall stand indus trially and how we shall meet the in dustrial situation when the war shall have ended. I am frank to say I am much more interested in the prepared ness for peace than for war, although think both Important. "Everyone seems to concede that the situation will be a serious one. The Department of Commerce has sent out bulletin asking for suggestions how best to protect ourselves against the invasion of the industrial army after the war. Certain it is that the standard of living will be reduced to the lowest possible level in Europe. It is equally certain that wages will also be reduced to the lowest possible level. Yet Europe, combined Europe, will be fight ing to regain her markets. Our labor ers will come in fierce competition with European labor. Our manufacturers. our farmers and producers will come in fierce competition with the manu facturers and producers of Europe. Many Face Loss of Jobs ' 'Our laboring men will be the first to feel the effect of It, for we must bear in mind that at the breaking out of this war there were 3,000,000 work ing men out of work in this country, and they did not go to work until the war orders came in. We all recall that the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Bald win Locomotive Works, and the steel plants were laying off men continually. Of course they are all busy now. "The manufacturer and the farmer will feel the strain also, and this fierce competition in the same way. We shall be careless and shortsighted to the last degree if we do not prepare against these days. We should, through a most thoroughly equipped nonpartisan board of experts, gather the most effective data possible, and the best judgment upon how best to meet the situation, and when this expert knowledge is had. Congress should act without de lay. I feel rure we ought to readjust our tariff laws, but that we ought to do so only upon a broad scale, and upon a plan commensurate with the situation which confronts us, and after a most thorough gathering of data and the opinion of those who have given in the light of present conditions." MISS WALLACE IS WINNER Former Portland Teacher Carrie: Off Dramatic Prize in Seattle.

The pair consists of Cliff Dixon and Bob O'Xeil. two good-looking chaps in smart up-to-the-minute attire, whose teamwork in song and dance Is 'way above the average. These two merry-makers set their act in the midst of a camp, and the six peaches are pretty girls who drop in from a nearby camp to help out in the songs. One of the six. Bessie O'Neil, petite and pretty, flings a line bit of bootwork. O'Neil and Dixon have one new and apt ballad in which they quarrel and each returns to the other all the wear ing apparel borrowed during the chummy period. The "peaches" are attractive and dance nicely, but it Is the "pair" that rules the garden. Harry Norwood and Aple Hall have comedy turn that is catchy. They start in to exchange complimentary observations, which bring the laughs. They sing and they step about a lot, and leave their audience begging for more. Aple is a pocket edition type of girl, with personality and a gurgling voice.

Fire horses in the Portland Fire Bu reau will get more exercise from now on. Upon recommendation of Dr. G. H. Huthman, veterinarian of the Fire Bureau. Fire Chief Dowell issued or ders yesterday for a revised exercise schedule. The horses will get out of their stalls several times a day In some instances where now they get out only once or twice, unless there is run. The revised schedule is the result of the great reduction in the number of fires in the city during recent months. This cuts down tne number of runs and therefore the amount of exercise for the horses.
