DAMAGE CASE IS ENDED
Action Thrown Out Arises From
Prosecution of Admitted Fraud
In Securing Award From
Streetcar Company.
Circuit Judge" Henry E. McGinn yes
terday: Ordered Edson K. Carr, confessed
perjurer in a civil case whose evidence
assisted in securing a $5000 verdict
against the Portland Railways Light &
Power Company, and Thomas S. Moles,
worth, who confessed to subornation
of perjury in the same suit, to with
draw their pleas of guilty, plead not
guilty, ami accept the dismissal of their
cases.
Ordered a directed! verdict for Clyde
E. R. Wallace, charged with subor
nation of perjury, at the conclusion of
the opening statements of attorneys for
prosecution and defense.
Dismissed the trial Jury of the Or
cult Court until September,
Announced that he would leave
shortly for a sojourn In the mountains
to ward off a threatened attack of
pneumonia.
Action in the perjury cases was
through a Judicial conviction that there
should be an end to the litigation, that
tne state should not take part in the
Interests of the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, and that the
ctlon should be of a civil, nature.
Deputy District Attorney Hlndman,
who was prosecuting the case with
Deputy Collier, contended that the ac
tion thrown out of court was the only
method by which perjurers or those
who would suborn perjury could be
adequately punished, and the olny rem
edy prescribed by law.
All Are Ordered Freed.

concerned In the same case and, with
the order of a directed verdict in th
Wallace trial. Judge McGinn .decided
that the other two, who had confessed.

You can dismiss the eases against them

But they have already pleaded

Well, withdraw the pleas of guilty
and put in a tilea of not. guilty, or
dered Judge McGinn.
The discharge of the trial jury until
September and the announcement th
he intended to go on a vacation were
made yesterday afternoon by Judge Mo-
Ginn. He expeoted to leave Wednes
day ,or Thursday.
The indictment against Mrs. Selma
Wallace, wife of Clyde Wallace, for
subornation of perjury also was dis
missed by Judge McGinn yesterday.
PerJnry Is Admitted.
The Wallace case grew out of a dam
age suit tried last Fall before Judge
McGinn. A 85000 verdict was received
against the Portland Railway, Light
Power Company by Mrs. Selma Wallace
for alleged Injuries. Edsen Carr was
chief witness for the plaintiff. He
later admitted he had lied on tbe
stand.
'i nomas a. Moieewortn, uncle of an
assistant claim agent in the Portland
Railway, Light & Power office, con
fessed to employing Carr. He said
there -was an agreement between him
and tbe Wallaces by which he was to
get a commission if the case was won
All four were indicted last Spring by
tne .Multnomah county grand Jury.
In making his decision. Judge Mo,
Glnn said: "My own Ideas have been
that in this kind of case where the
parties have had a chance te litigate
and have litigated their matters and
tried them out that there ought to be
an end to it some time. I have con
eluded that If there Is anything to be
done In this case it must be done by
the Supreme Court.
"It is a matter between the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company and
the Wallaces. I don t think it quite be
comes the state to have Its processes
brought to bear on the side of the cor
poration."
Judge Mcuinn censured tne grand
Jury for indicting. He did not score the
District Attorney office, as he said
'A more honorable. District Attorney
office than Mr. Evans' never has been
known in my knowledge of Multnomah
County; and I have some knowledge.

ambitious cities that may seek the

has no opposition.
Tnat Question brings up the subject
it the convention of 1918. Several cities
are In the field. Principal among them
now are Chicago, Philadelphia, Rich

was In the race for a few minutes last
week, but the supreme lodge always
baa taken a firm stand against meeting
it a Summer resort. Atlantic city

beej thrown to Richmond. .

The delegates who passed through
Chicago last week on their way to

to meet there. It Is too hot. It was

Another spirited but frlsndlv eontsst
promises to develop over the election
of two members of the board of control
the Pythian insurance deoartment.
The terms of Charles A. Bangs, of
rand Forks. N. D.. and William J.
Duvall. of Hutehlnson. Kan-, expire this
r. Both are candidates to succeed
themselves. Among their principal op-
onents are Merrill G. Marylndale. of
Spokane, Wash., and Edward Hoeton. of
St Thomas, Ont
Another complication develops over
the fact that Mr. Davis, one of the
candidates for supreme vice-chancel
lor, also Is a member of the board of
control. If he is elected his place on
the board will be filled. His term
orxnally will expire in 1920.
Appointments Are Awaited.
Of secondary Interest are the ap-
Jintments to the positions on the
supreme tribunal which is the supreme
court of Pythlanism. These appoint
ments are made by the supreme chan
cellor and aDnroved bv th Mimrm a
lodge.- The term of Alexander M. Gar-
Der, or birmingnam, Ala., expires at tbe '
nd or tne present year and that of
Edward C. Reynolds, of Portland. Me.
at the end of next year. Inasmuch as
the supreme lodge meets only every
two years, both vacancies must be
filled at the present session.
The supreme temple of Pythian Sis
ters probably will hold elections on
Thursday, also. Mrs. Lily Samuel, of
Oakland, will be elected supreme chief
to succeed Mrs. Cora M. Davis, of
Union, Or., the Incumbent. Mrs. Elisa

less will succeed Mrs. Samuel as su

Twenty-nine members of Battery A

not return until the bad mount was
afely tied to the end of a "halter rope.
One beautiful animal that appeared fit
for a Prinoe was so fiery that It trok
real bronco-brtter In Private Will
iams to overcome it. It was an hour's
good fight and It waa fight every min
ute of the time. Now Williams will
go to the head of the mess line for
week.
One or two of the animals that were I
so badly out that they could not be i
handled for treatment were hog-tied
and, under the direction of Sergeant
Elklns, the wounds were treated.
Today the men from Washington

away the mules assigned to their units
for use with the supply wagons.
With the arrival of the horses comes
extra drill In the use of signals In di
recting the maneuvering of the field-

Late this afternoon tbe noncommis

their mounts. In several cases the com.

Sergeant Cameron, who is tall and
heavy set, was one of the last to arrive
at the picket lino and drew a diminu

Tomorrow will occur the regular Sat

will be dispensed with. Eunday la a

New enthusiasm has been aaaed to
the work by tbe hope that a practice
