mr. rue, in
WORDY WAR, FINED
Judge Morrow Finally Allows
Appeal-Third Degree in
Murder Case Charged.
LOUIE WING TAKES STAND
Potcetivcs Arc Called to Give Testi
mony in Trial Over Killing
- of Tongrnian ITnfairncss
i i n Test i mon y Al leged .
"'I am coins to hear Mr. Malarkey
throucrh and let him get it out of his
system."
Because Attorney Dan J. Malarkey
objected to this remark when it was
made by Circuit Judse Morrow, on the
pround that it was undignified and not
fair treatment from the court, he was
fined $10 by the jurist yesterday in the
course of the trial of Louie Wing, Bing
Kung tongman, for murder.
An objection of Attorney .Malarkey,
questioning the fairness of an investi
gation of the defendant on the witness
ftand by Deputy District Attorney Col
lier, precipitated the argument between
.Turipe Morrow and Mr. Malarkey. Judge
Morrow held that the objection was
not recognized by law. coming under
the head of neither incompetency, ir
relevancy nor immateriality. Attorney
Malarkey maintained that the objection
was absolutely legal. As. theoretically,
the ft moke from the ensuing conflict
was drifting away. Judge Morrow was
heard to rule with Attorney Malarkey.
holding that the question to which the
objection had been raised was mani
festly incompetent and unfair.
Notice of Appeal Served.
Attorney K. B. Seabrook. who ap
peared with Mr. Malarkey for- the de
fense, served notice of appeal to the
Supreme Court from the fining of his
partner.
Testimony relating brutal third de
gree methods of police officer., not
hesitating at assult on tne person of
the- accusru man, was given by Iouie
Wing, who yesterday on the wii nesa
t-iand told his version of the shooting.
Detectives La talle and Oolt and
patrolman Willett slapped and punched
him in an endeavor to wring a con
fession of guilt from him at police
headquarte rs f ol low in g t lie deat h of
T,eong Yin Luck, who- wan murdered
during the tong war last February, eaid
the accused man. Detective Goltz em
phatically denied the charge against
himself, but thj other officers were
not placet on the stand by the prose
cution in rebuttal.
Deteetives Callt-d to Stand.
Detective Captain Iaty. Detective Goltz
and Miss Myrtle Cameron, cleric in the
detective bureau, were called by the
prosecution to testify to Louie Wing's
denial to them of the charges of per-i-on;l
injury he had made before.
Vi cross-examination. Attorney Ma
larkey established the fact that the
Chinese was questioned at that time In
the private office of Detective Captain
Hat y. surrounded by officers, without
nn interpreter, friend or his attorney
present.
louie Wing asserted that he was
mistaken for the real murderer be
cause he took fright and fled at the
eight of the gunman with smoking re
volver. Testimony was concluded yesterday
and before adjournment of court
Deputy District Attorney Hindman had
made the opening argument to the
jury. Attorney Malarkey will address
the jury this morning.
Attorney and Judge C'laah.
Attorney Malarkey and Judge Mor
row crossed swords shortly after
Deputy District Attorney Collier asked
the defendant a question about the
session in the office oT Captain Baty
and assumed thaU-Louic Wing had ad
mitted the presence of District At
torney Evans at the conference.

Over the protect of a. delegation of
master plumbers and others, the City
Council yesterday, by vote of three to
two, paHsed Commissioner Daly's ordi
nance prohibiting anyone except work
men for tiie city water bureau from
putting in house connections to water
mains within the Htreet area. Commis
sioners Baker and Bijtelow voted
against the ordinance, while Mayor Al
bee and Commissioners Daly and Dieck
voted for it.
Plumbers protested because the sys
tem will involve more expense to prop
erty owners and will take away plumb
Inar work that lpfcltimately belongrs to
plumbers. Commissioner Daly admit
ted that the plan involves increased
cost to the property owners, but he said
better work will be done and the cost
of maintenance will be less both for
the city and for property owners.
Commissioner Daly asked that his or
dinance bo passed with an emergency
to make it effective at once. Commis
sioner Baker objected to the emer
gency. For that reason the measure
was voted on in the reeular way. It
will not so Into effect for 30 days.
BAD COIN PLOT BARED
Two Others Are Bound Oner as Re
itilt of Admissions by Tair.
Although Harry Turner and Robert
B. Wesson admitted on the witness
stand that they had expected to profit
by the production of spurious pold
coins, their testimony convinced Dis
trict Judge Jones that A. J. Burns and
John Brannin were swindlers and the
latter were bound over to the grand
jury.
Gold coins valued at $17,000 were to
be I produced for the paltry sum of
$2500, Turner and Wacson told the
court. They admitted that they in
tended to mkc use of the money, but
did not -see that their own connection
with the affair was" dubious.

OWN ATTITUDE DEFENDED
Member of Congress Says His Dis

He Opposes National Jjaw

OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, April 26. Representative Mc
Arthur, of Portland, in an open letter
STEAMER FIFIELD ON BEACH NEAR
AFTER VESSEL'S IPI'EIl WOIllvS
to the Anti-Saloon League of Oregon,
makfs caustic reply to the attacks
made on liim by the league, through a
cartoon circular of rocen t date, and
carries into the open his fight against
the organization that has undertaken
to defeat him for ronomination because
he declines to vote for a resolution
submitting to the states a prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitu
tion. The lottor of Mr. . Mc Arthur, previ
ously referred to, reads:
My attention has boon called to a circu
lar letter recently published by tho Anti
Saloon League of OreRoij which is not only
false and libelous, hut which contains mat
ter that seriously roflcc's upon my rights,
rpiitatinn and conduct as a member of
Congress. The circular charges me with bad
faith because of my refusal to support the
propose d prohibition amendment to the Fed
eral (.""onstituiimi, and fecks to convey the
impression that T am In league with crim
inals and am opposed to law enforcement-
Attit ude IJaed on Xot e of Iiht riot.
It i true that I have made the statement
that 1 shall vote against the National pro
hibition amendment, but my attitude in this
matter is the result of the vote on state
wide prohibition in my district on the day
of iny election to Congress. On that day the
p oplc of Oregon adopted state-wide prohi
bition, but my district rejected it, and, as
1 had previously agreed to regard the dis
trict vote on state-wide prohibition as an
instruction to me upon the National ques
tion, I f.-el in honr bound to fulfill my
pledge. I shall, therefore, oppose National
prohibition until the people of my district
direct me otherwise or until it becomes
evident that they have changed their minds.
Under the initiative power vested in them
by the constitution of the state, 'the people
have the right to voti on this Question at
any regular election or to pass a directory
law asking their congressman to vote in a
specific way upon any Question before Con
gress. I have no prejudice on thbi question, and
am animated only by a desire to represent
the views of the majority of my constitu
ents. I do not intend, however, to disregard
a. campaign pledge which I made In good
faith in order to please any group or faction
who may undertake to deliver my vole to
a measure with which the people of my
district are not in sympathy. I shall take
my orders from the people; not from carpet
bag leaders or self-appointed political bosses.
Constituents Declared Satisfied.
My attitude in this matter is satisfactory
to a large majority of my constituents, but
a little group of professional politicians who
have been imported from other states to fill
hlfch -salaried positions in your organization
have vainly attempted to induce me to
change my position and thereby stultify my
self. R. p. liutton, your superintendent, has
even sought to Induce me to enter into a
secret agreement with Dr. K. C. Dinwiddle,
representative of the A nt t-ialoon League
here at Washington, to the effect tlrat 1
disregard my campaign pledges and vote to
submit the National prohibition amendment.
As a consideration for this proposed secret
compact, Mr. Hutton held out the promise
that fcl. V. I4ittlefield. my principal oppo
nent In the coming primary elertjim, would
not enter tho race. It is needless lo ay
that thLs proposal was Ignored by me.
The circular which your organisation has
distributed throughout my district Is libel
ous in that it reflects on my character and
Integrity, Among other things, it says:
"far McArtnur gives license to tanror-j
nia booze-rtoostiny, Home-destroying deiiers
of Oregon laws."
This statement Is not only false in every
particular but is libelous under section 8519
of Lord's Oregon Laws. You know that I
have nothing to do with the California
liquor dealers who are shipping their goods
into Oregon. Yon know full well that liquor
shipments into Oregon are made under au
thority of a law Vhich you yourselves pro
posed at the last session of the Oregon Leg
islature and which your candidate for Con
gress, E. V. T.ntlef ield. supported as a mem
ber of that legislature.
You know In your hearts that your charge
that I give license to California dealers 1"
willfully false. Your circular is replete with
false and libelous statements and contains
a nauseating cartoon that should be enough
to disgust all decent people wlih your meth
ods. I blush with shame to think that
houses of worship have been dofHed by the
circulation of these filthy, libelous circulars
and that thev have been widely distributed
among Sunday school children.
Offense Punishable by Imprisonment.
A decent regard for the house of God and
the innocence of childhood would prevent
the circulation of these disreputable publica
tions in such places. Under the section of
Lord's Oregon Laws above referred to, you
are chargeable with political criminal libel,
which H punishable by imprisonment in the
penitentiary for not less than two or more
than five years.
The circular in question Is also a criminal
publication In that It seeks to Induce the
electors of the Third Congressional District
of Oregon to commit the crime of perjury.
Among other things, the circular says :
"We are not Republicans. We are dry
independents. We go where the fight Is.
Flnce the only chance- to . crack booze is In
the Republican primary, we are registered
as Republicans and ehall vote for the nomi- ,
nation of Judge E. V. Llttlefield and sub- ;
mission of National prohibition on May 1V.
Will you spoil a good fight by keeping out
of it? Register Republican before April 19
and vote for Judge Llttlefield In the Repub
lican primary on May Jfi.
Section 2 of chapter 223 of the Laws of
Oregon for 1015 provides that an elecrbr in
registering must swear that he is a mem
ber in good faith of the party in which he
seeks to re g Later, and section 19 of the same
act provides that any person who shall
swear, lalsely to aoy affidavit required by'
said act shall bo deemed guilty of perjury.
You admit' your own perjury in connec
tion with your registration as Republicans
and you show further evidences of your
criminality by seeking to suborn others to
swear falsely. The penalty for perjury or
subornation of perjury under the laws of
Oregon is Imprisonment in the Penitentiary
for not less than two nor more than five
years.
I mention these acts of libel, perjury and
subornation of perjury in order to show your
thoroughly disreputable methods. I' have
been told on good authority that you boast
of a fund of $50,000 which will be spent to
accomplish my defeat at the coming pri
maries. You have stated that you intend
to make an example of me in order that
Congressmen In general will not dare to op
pose your programme. The public la en
titled to know of your corrupt methods and
of the brazen boast that a fund of $30,000
is available to bring about the defeat of a
member of Congress who has announced his
determination to fulfill his campaign
pledges and keep faith with, his constitu
ents. In addition to Its printed libel. Its efforts
to suborn perjury and its disgusting car
toon, your circular contains a picture of Mr.
E. V. Llttlefield. It is evidently published
and circulated in the interests of his can
Hidrv. It "is hard for me to believe that
Mr. Llttlefield favors your action in print-
lng and distributing your aiereputaDle cir
cular, but his failure to repudiate It and his
continued silence upon the subject indicates
his acquiescence.
Official Investigation Requested.
I have called the . attention of the District
Attorney of Multnomah County to your cir
cular and have requested him to investi
gate all facts and circumstances surround
ing Its authorship and publication and to
prosecute all guilty parties.
I am certain that .the rank and fito of
the honest and sincere people of which the
Anti-Saloon League of Oregon is composed
BANDON.
HAD WASHED A WAV.
had nothing to do with the publication of
the circular In question and do not sanc
tion it. The guilty parties are undoubtedly
the professional politicians who are on tha
payroll of your organization. Yours very
truly, C. N. M'ARTRUR.
Mr. MoArthur's letter to District At
torney Kvans follows;
I beg to call your attention to the en
closed circular, which has been and is be
ing distributed by the Anti-Saloon League
of Oregon. I have examined the statutes on
tho subject of political criminal libel and am
of the opinion that the authors of this cir
cular are guilty of this crime as defined by
section ;."19 of Lord's Oregon Laws. They
charge me with being In league with Cali
fornia parties who are violating Oregon
laws, and their cartoon implies that 1 am
opposed to law enforcement.
Attention Called to Oath.
The authors of this circular make the
statement that they are not Republicans,
but are "dry Independents," yet they ad
mit having registered ns Republicans for a
certain purpose. Section 2 of chapter 225
of the Laws of Oregon for 1915 provides the
form of oath required of an elector in reg
istering, and section 19 of the same act says
that any person who shall swear falsely to
any affidavit required by the said act shall
be deemed guilty of perjury. Tho authors
of the circular in question admit their own
perjury when they say that they are not
Republicans, but have registered as such.
They also seek to -Induce others to swear
falsely and are therefore chargeable with
subornation of perjury. The crimes of per
jur and subornation" of perjury and the pen
alties therefor are defined and prescribed in
sections 2026 and 2027 of Lord's Oregon
J, a ws. Section ;t.r27 of Lord's Oregon Laws
requires you to inquire as to the facts and
circumstances surrounding violations and al
leged violations of the corrupt practices act
and other criminal laws and, if the circum
stances justify such action, to institute
prosecutions.
As a citizen of your district and as a can
didate for public office who has been li
beled and maligned by the authors of the
enclosed circular, I respectfully demand that
you ascertain the names of the said au
thors and bring them to justice. They have
willfully and maliciously committed the
crime of libel, perjury and subornation of
perjury and should be punished accordingly. J

Enellxh Kolk: Attend Lecture Dealing
WKh Hardship That Are Being
Endured on Battlefield.
The traditional Imperturbability of
the Kngiisliman has been upset and
tho gentler side of his nature brought
up close to the surface, as was proved
at the lecture of Mrs. Julia W. Hen
shaw at the Art Museum Tuesday night
on the subject of the hospital service
and scenes within the hospital lines in
the war zone in France.
The story was one that would catch
at the heart even of a disinterested lis
tener, but Mrs.' Henshaw's audience
was made up to a large extent of
English men and women, who have
friends and near relatives In the zone
of death which she was describing;.
It was a stereopticon lecture, and the
kindly darkness hif many a surrepti
tious movement of a handkerchief.
In spite of the fact that the hospi
tals are wonderfully organized and
equipped, the speaker pointed out that
the drain upon their resources is tre
mendous,- and that after a great en
gagement, such as Loos, their supplies
are practically all taken up in the
emergency.
To the- soldiers, socks especially she
urged to have sent, for it is in this
particular that there is the most con
stant need. Comfort- bags contain
lng, soap, (obacco, cards, books, towels
or anything that may add to the com
fort of the soldier at the front or in
the hospital, are the most highly prized
gift that can be- sent to the fighters
in Flanders.

All Day- Labor on Tioads Is Settled
at End of Work Commission
Considers Suggestion for New
Metliod of Payments.
It was easy for the Multnomah
County Commissioners to order the
payment of all employes receiving $100
a month or less twice a njonth, but the
carrying out of -the order is a different
matter.
It cannot legally be complied with,
points out County Auditor S. B. Martin,
County Clerk John B. Coffey and
County Treasurer John M. Lewis in a
communication read at the meeting of
the commissioners yesterday.
Lord's Oregon Laws, Section 3059,
make the basis of preparing county
payrolls the furnishing of certified
vouchers to the County Auditor by
every county official at the close of
business on the last day of each month.
To make out the payrolls semi-monthly
would necessitate a change of the law.
Jurors are paid immediately at the
close of their services and all day labor
on road work is paid at once at the
end of work.
Warrant-Shaving Has Part.
The suggestion of the County Commis
sioners, which was in the nature of an
order, was to relieve the dissatisfaction
among those who maintained the aboli
tion of warrant-shaving at the Court
house worked a hardship on employes.
A suggestion was offered at the
meeting yesterday by Commissioner
Holbrook for a different system of
payments. All regular salaried men
would receive their wages as hereto
fore, by county warrant, but "broken
time" men would be paid semi-monthly,
and in cash.
This would necessitate organizing the
county by sections, and sending the
money from the head office with two
guards twice a month for distribution
among employes on the county roads.
Communication Put on File.
This system of direct payment was
advocated to save the men the time it
takes to go to the Courthouse for pay,
the drawing of hundreds of checks
each month and ,to prevent the neces
sity of many men trading at some
stores where their warrants would be
accepted, or of discounting checks to a
broker.
Tha communication from the county
officers was ordered placed on file
yesterday, while other action is con
templated. Repairs being necessary to sheaves
on the Steel Bridge, the Commissioners
yesterday ordered txaffic suspended on
the street deck between the hours of
1:30 A. M. and 6:30 A. M.. beginning
May 1, for three weeks. S. Murray, act
ing chief engineer of the Union Pacific
System, called attention to the needed
repairs.
Bids for two motorcycles to be used
in speed work were received by the
Commissioners yesterday.

Some of the pool hall people insist
that cards be barred from pool rooms
Others want them. The Council is will
ing to get rid of the general run of
pool roum card tables, but wants to
preserve two or three big rooms in
men's resorts of a civic nature in the
North End. where it is said there is
no gambling and where the card tables
answer a big purpose in providing
passtime for idle men.
The Council decided at yesterday's
meeting to have an ordinance pre
pared by City Attorney LaRoche pro
viding separate licenses for the pool
room and the card room. Card licenses
may be refused where they are not de
sirable and where evidence of gambling
or other infractions of law are found.
the established card rooms may be put
out of business.
CHECK" THEFT IS CHARGED
Paper Supopsed Lost- Shown
TJirough Bank.
Deliberate theft from his office of
a check, for 1400, is an allegation made
op Bread.
'L
by Attorney J. G. Arnold in an action
brought in the Circuit Court yesterday
for the recovery of that sum from W.
J. Logus and the Krebs-Logus Com
pany. The check was made out to
Logus, but was supposed to have been
destroyed when a duplicate check was
written under a different date, he said.
In addition to the civil suit, the mat
ter has been brought to the attention
of the grand jury. Attorney Arnold
said yesterday.
As part of a $900 loan made to
Logus, Attorney Arnold wrote him a
check for $400 on September 18, 1915.
Logus for some reason desired that
the cljeck be dated September 17, said
the lawyer yesterday and a second
check was written wi:h the earlier
date. The first check was laid with
papers on the desk of the attorney and
was to have been destroyed later. .,, The
second check was cashed and the remaining-
$500 was paid over the fol
lowing day.
Meanwhile the check first written
had TTappeared. Attorney Arnold be
lieved it had been destroyed. It was
not seen again until it bobbed up
April 3, 1916, indorsed by Logus to tli
Krebs-Logus insurance firm and de
posited to the company's account in
the Bank of California.
The plaintiff in the action charges
that Logus, who had desk room in the
attorney's office in the Northwestern
Bank building when the checks were
written, had access to the desk where
the check was laid and stole it. Logus
Is secretary-treasurer of the Krebs
Logus Company and has not been es
tablished in Attorney Arnold's office
since the first of the year.
The check for $400 was unquestion
ably genuine and was paid over to the
firm by the Lumberman's National
Bank on which it was drawn, without
comment, before the attorney learned
of its reappearance.

EAST SIDE DISTRICT.
J. E. Werlein Argues That Dumping of
Garbage in Belmont-Hanthorne
Tract on Ninth Ought to Stop.
War has been declared on the un
sightly district between Belmont street
and Hawthorne avenue and East Jith
and East Twelfth streets. J. K. Wer
lein appeared before the City Council
yesterday and demanded that the Coun
cil as part of the cleanup campaign to
be started soon take steps to force the
cleaning of this district. "It is an eye
sore and a detriment from a health
standpoint," said Mr. Werlein. "We will
not permit our children to go there to
clean up, because it is not safe-. It is
up to the city to do something."
"It is a disgrace to the city." said
Commissioner Biaelow. "It is not the
fault of the people who own the prop
erty, but the fault of garbage people
who use the place as a dump. I think
something radical should be done to
stop the practice."
"It is up to this Council to get busy
and bring about a cleanup not only of
this place, but of others, in the city,"
said Commissioner Baker. "The public
is demanding it. There is much grief
coming up along this line and we might
just as well head it off by getting busy
now."
The cleanup question went over with
out decision one way or another.

Glass of hot water before break

Sanitary science has of late made
repid strides with results t:.ut are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
Is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal sanita
tion of the drainage system of the hu
man body aa It is to the drains of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when wo ari?e,
splitting headache, sttiTfy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices cf the sys
tem each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Kveryone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonftil of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the stom
ach, liver and bowels tho previous
day's Indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entlro
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. Tho action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sour
fermentations, gases, v.aste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite tor
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast tho phosphated hot
water is quietly extracting a large ol-
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
ered with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness;
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions aro
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but Is suffi
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
itation. Adv.
