BATEHAM GETS SENTENCE
On to 15 Years In Prison Imposed
on Wealthy Horticulturist.
. A. V. Bateham. aged 64, former presi
dent of the Oregon Horticultural So
ciety, and who has also represented
this Government abroad on horticul
tural commissions, was sentenced to
the State Penitentiary yesterday for an
Indeterminate term of from one to 15
years as a result of his conviction last
week of a serious statutory crime.-
Judge Morrow, before whom the
case was tried, refused to grant an Im
passioned appeal for clemency which
was made in behalf of the wealthy de
fendant. The court said the crime was
one which merited severe punishment,
inasmuch as It Involved two school
girls, aged 7 and 9 years.
Mr. Bateham, a manufacturer's agent,
was arrested by the police several
months ago on complaint of the
mothers of several children in the
neighborhood where he resided. Two
indictments were found against him.

OP DANGEROUS WORK.
Klamath Liquor Smuggler Sentenced
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Dec. 26.
(Special.) A fine of J200 pr S100 and
five days in Jail, was the sentence im
posed upon John Rodugues by Justice
Chapman for importing liquor into
Klamath County. This was the second
offense of the kind within the week for
the defendant who was caught bring
ing in liquor submerged in celery, con
cealed in his shoes and other parts of
his clothing.
Fighting at St. MJhiel and Argonne
Forest Participated in by
Portland Boy.
A member of The Oregonian staff
yesterday received a letter from Private
A. E. Asher, member of the Fourth
United States Engineers, in France, de
scribing in detail the fight on the
River Vesle in which his Captain,
James P. Growdon, of McMinnville,
won citation by General Pershing for
extraordinary heroism in action.
Private Asher is a son of Mrs. Sarah
Asher, of the Braintree Apartments, of
this city, and a graduate of Lincoln
High School. Following are extracts
from his letter, written at Tout, France,
December 1: "
"Indeed, we did build bridges across
the Vesle River and believe me, boy, it
was some job. Before tackling it, we
lay in a marsh, without blankets or
any shelter, sopping wet to the skin,
imperiled constantly by machine gun,
one pounders and artillery fire and you
can be assured that none of us showed
our heads above the tiny hole we dug
ourselves in. The first night we tried
to put a bridge across, we only took
one stroke of the ax a flash ensued
and boy, I wish you could have heard
the machine gun barrage that followed.
We had no time to run, but dropped
face down where we stood, some of the
fellows falling in the river and tang
ling themselves in the barbed wire,
others Jumping for the bank. The bar
rage lasted ten minutes (it seemed like
ten years at the time) and the bullets
just clipped the tops of the grass,
seeming to just Braze our backs.

Four Years Tanlac Re
stores Health.
"Tanlac has done me so much good
that I am telling all my friends about
it," said Atttlio Eneidi. of 100 First
street, a few days ago.
"I was not what you would call a
sick man," he continued, "but I was far
from being well. About four years ago
I began to have a tired, worn-out feel
ing all over, and didn't feel like doing
a thing, as it seemed that every parti
cle of my energy was gone. My appe
tite wasn't very good, but in order to
keep up what strength I could, I would
force myself to eat. though nothing
tasted right. I lost twenty-five pounds,
and, in fact, got so generally run down
in health that I was just about at the
end of my rope.
"I felt that I needed a good tonic of
some kind, and so much was being said
about Tanlac and so many people
seemed to be getting such good results
from it I Just had a feeling, that it was
the very thing I needed, and it certain
ly did prove out that way, for I feel
like a new man out and out since I
started taking it and am getting in bet
ter shape every dny. That tired, worn
out feeling has passed away and my
energy seems to be coming back in
leaps and bounds. I have a good appe
tite and enjoy every bit I eat. and
everything seems to be doing me lots
of good, for I am gaining in weight
right along. I am going to keep on
taking Tanlac. for I believe it is going
to give me back all I lout during those
four years, and. I am telling everybody
I meet what great things Tanlac has
done for me."
