HONORABLE FRANK HAPPY

I'oi lland Postmaster Sole Backer of
Alan Who Ileeeivetl Nomination
for Xorlh I'ortland Post-
One of the charges -which the Sen
ate postoffice committee will be asked
to investigate before confirming the
nomination of George R. Mokel as
postmaster at North Portland, the
business center of the stockyards dis
trict on the Peninsula, is that Mokel
knowingly sold cattle affected with
tuberculosis to various buyers.
This charge was made yesterday by
Vr. 11. Lytle, Oregon State Veterinarian.
Mr. Lytle also charged that Mr. Mokel
had been instrumental in bringing tu
bercular cattle into the state to sell
to unsuspecting purchasers.
Mr. Lytel's charges were made in a
letter replying to a query from O. M.
J'lummer. secretary of the Portland
Union Stockyards Company, one of the
business interests at North Portland
which lias protested most vigorously
against Mr. Mokel's appointment.
Distinct Charge Placed.
"In answer to your letter or April 11
regarding our experience with one
George R. Mokel," reads the State Vet
erinarian's letter, "will say that I per
sonally know that he has knowingly
, sold cattle affected with tuberculosis
'' to buyers throughout the state and
that he has to the best of my knowl
edge been instrumental in bringing
tubercular cattle into this state for
the purpose of selling to unsuspecting
buyers.
"He has been closely In league with
the party, James Dorsey, of Gilberts,
111., whom the Federal Bureau of Ani
mal Industry has now under indict
ment for the interstate movement of
diseased animals.
"I personally do not think Mr. George
T5. Mokel would be a fit person to
hold any public position."
These charges were telegraphed last
Tilght to C. N. McArthur, Representa
tive in Congress from the Third Dis
trict. Mr. McArthur, who has himself
brought charges against Mr.- Mokel,
will introduce the letter at the hearing
soon to be held by the Senate postof
fice committee.
Honorable Kranlc Sole Backer.
The nomination of Mr. Mokel over
the united protests of every business
interest in North Portland, which is not
a part of Portland, and has no resi
dence population, was a diplomatic vic
tory for the Honorable Frank Stott
Myers. Portland postmaster, his sole
hackt-r. The Honorable Frank was
hugely pleased at news of Mr. Mokel's
nomination and said as much.
Business interests at North Portland
some days ago sent the following pro
test to the Senate postoffice committee:
"We, the undersigned, representing
all the business interests (there being
practically no resident population)
served by the North Portland postof
fice. most earnestly protest against the
confirmation of George R. Mokel as
postmaster at this place.
"Mokel was forced to give up his
membership in the Livestock Exchange
and to leave the stockyards on account
of irregular practices in the handling
of livestock. We believe him to be
utterly unreliable and we could under
no circumstances allow our mail to be
handled by him."

Louis Peters.
Louis Peters, one of the oldest
motormen in point of service in
the employ of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company,
died at Good Samaritan Hospital
Wednesday after a lingering ill
ness. Mr. Peters was 65 years
old, and for 19 years had been a
motorman, first on the Sixteenth
street line and more recently on
the Thirteenth-street line.
Mr. Peters was born in Bel
gium and came to this country
about 45 years, ago. He resided
at'549 Madison street, and is sur
vived by one daughter, Mrs. J. H.
Davis, of this city.
The funeral was held from
Holman's undertaking parlors
yesterday afternoon and the in
terment was at Riverview Cemetery.
probable profits in the jitney business,
cited by the plaintiffs, were not con
tained in the contract signed, and pos
sibly came from the literal acceptance
of a salesman's statements. Circuit
Judge Gantenbein ruled yesterday that
there was virtually no case, and threat
ened to grant a non-suit if a compro
mise of $100 was not accepted. Judg
ment of $100 was agreed to and both
sides told to pay their own costs.
U. S. GRANT, JR., VISITS
Civil AVar Hero's Son Finds Orient
Friendly to America.
While England seems to be losing
friendship and prestige in the Orient.
there is in both China and Japan a most
friendly feeling toward the United
States, according to U. S. Grant, Jr.,
the son of the great Civil War General,
who passed through Portland yesterday
on his way to San Diego, after an ex
tended tour of the Far East.
In China, according to Mr. Grant, the
feeling against the British is so bitter
that the ma"n in the street will not ad
mit a knowledge of English unless he
finds that he is talking to an American,
when he will immediately "loosen up."
In spite of the alliance of Japan with
Great Britain, he found a profound ad
miration for Germany among the peo
ple. Mr. Grant left yesterday morning for
San Diego after a short stopover here.
