THE MORNING OTIEGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 191D. PROSECUTOR FAVORS APPOINTIVE OFFICE Restraint on Private Practice of Law Wanted. ANNUAL SESSION OPENS District-Attorneys Informed Jfon Support Law Is "Farce;" Amend ment Is Requested. BALEM, Or.. Dec. 12. (Special.) That the prosecuting officers of Ore gon should be appointed rather than elected, should hold their respective positions as long as they render ef ficient service to the state and should be restrained from participating in the private practice of law was the statement made by George Neuner, president of the Oregon District At torneys' association, in an address at the annual meeting of the body which opened here today. Mr. Neuner la district attorney of Douglas county and is one of the best-known prose cuting officers in the state. Mr. Neuner made special reference during his address to the prohibition, cigarette and a number of other laws which, he said, contained a clause making their enforcement a special duty of the district attorneys. For failure, neglect or refusal to enforce ninny of these laws, Mr. Neuner said, the prosecuting attorneys were sub ject to fine. Imprisonment and for feiture of their office. Attorney Sees Peril. "I am not Inclined to believe that the enforcement of any particular law should be made a special duty of dis trict attorneys," said Mr. Neuner, "neither am I In favor of prosecuting one class of crime in preference to another. The criminal statutes of Oregon, when they concern the boot legger or the man charged with mur der, appear alike to me." Although not within the power of the district attorneys to remedy, Mr. Neuner said the quicker the people of Oregon shunned discrimination and allowed the prosecuting officials to proceed unhampered in the enforce ment of the laws the sooner the state would be rid of Its most vicious vio lators. Making it a special duty of the district attorneys to enforce some of the laws, without any particular reference to the others, Mr. Neuner aid was likely to decrease efficiency. Non-Support Law Held "Farce." District Attorney Neuner also re ferred to the non-support law now in operation in this state. He said the act. as interpreted by most of the prosecuting officials, was a farce and should be amended at the first oppor tunity. "I have prosecuted a number of persons under our present non-support law," said Mr. Neuner, "but in nearly every instance tTie defendants were conditionally paroled by the courts. They later left the state and are now outside the jurisdiction of the Oregon statutes." V. W. Snyder, in charge or the spe cial agents in the employ of the state, Informed the district attorneys that his staff was not made up of so-called opotters. but of well qualified investi gators who were ever at the Service of the prosecuting officials In run ning down law violators. "We do not specialise In any par ticular class of violations," said Mr. Snyder, "but go forward with a view of bringing all persons guilty of in fractions to justice." Mr. Snyder told the district attorneys that there were at. present six investigators in the em ploy of the state, two of whom are women. Attorneys Sit at Banquet. Other addresses were delivered at today's sessions. Judge Q. G. Bing ham of the Marlon county eircuit court, who discussed "The Divorce and District Attorneys": J. S. Hodg lns. district attorney of Union county, who spoke on "Revision of the Crim inal Code," and Attorney-General George M. Brown, on "Law Enforce ments." A paper dealing with the "Leaves From a District Attorney's Diary." was read by Chief Justice McBrlde of the Oregon supreme court. This probably was the feature number on today's programme. Tonight the district attorneys were entertained at a banquet at the Mar lon hotel, which was marked by ad dresses and discussions pertaining to the handling of radicals, agitators and other persons of disloyal tendencies. Several addresses are scheduled for tomorrow's sessions, which will close with election of officers. Because of the disagreeable weath er the proposed Inspection of the state institutions was canceled by the dis trict attorneys. WOOD CLUB ILL DINE lng connections and laying lines of hose by a temperature of five de grees below zero, the Hood River volunteer fire department extin guished fire at the home of Dr. J. H. McVay this morning, and saved the United Brethren church closely ad joining, where several cars of ap ples are stored. The fire apparently started from a defective flue. Neighbors removed most of the household goods. Dr. McVay, formerly chief sur geon of the Toledo hospital, was paralyzed three years ago wh'en in jured in an automobile accident. Be fore the flames bad reached dan gerous proportions men removed him in a wheel chair to a neighboring house. Mrs. McVay was away, hav ing been called to Toledo recently on business. The residence, which was com pletely gutted, was owned by C. F. Waldo of Portland. Damage is placed at $3000 with $1500 Insurance. ICE TRAGEDY RECALLED COLUMBIA AXD WILLAMETTE FROZEN IN 18 75. Rescue Chain Fails to Save Life of ex-Soldier; Team and Truck Go Through Ice. In the good old days of yore, when the Willamette river and the Colum bia became silent in the grip of win ter and sheathed themselves from bank to bank, Portland folk had both merry and exciting times, as the newspaper files of The Oregonian at test. They skated, sleighed, sky larked and otherwise made the most of the novelty of frozen river and. once in a while, the treacherous Ice gave way and brought a tragedy to town. On January 16. 1875, when both the Columbia and the Willamette were frigid from shore to shore, the skaters were out in coveys and com panies. And the chronicles of that day recount at least one mishap, when a youth attempted to reach an Ice-bound ferryboat and broke through to the swift current. He was rescued with peril and difficulty. The same issue of The Oregonian which relates these incidents gives advice on the harvesting of ice. On February 15, 1884, both rivers were frozen and winter sports were on. But this epoch had also its tragedy. Daniel Conroy, lately dis charged from the 16th infantry, at tempted to cross the Columbia from Vancouver on the lee neld. He broke through when nearing the Oregon shore. Rescuers formed a living chain and reached him, but Conroy died from exposure before they had borne him to the shore. During , the cold snap culminating January 15, 1888, the Willamette again donned the armor of winter, and the files of The Oregonian for that date relate how thousands of citizens flocked to the river to skate and slelgh-rlde. With the exception of a track 50 feet wide, from the foot of Stark street across the river through which the Stark street ferry navigated the entire current was locked in ice from 4 to 6 inches thick. The minimum temperature of that day was 4.5 degrees above zero. Yet the element of tragedy entered in again, when a seaman on the City of Glasgow, lying at a Portland dock, fell over the rail and was crushed to death on the ice. And a team and heavy truck, employed in cleaning the ice harvest, broke through and plunged Into the current, both horses being drowned. Against the background of the storms, as it does today, stood the message of nature lovers . to their fellow citizens "Feed the birds!" PRESIDENTIAL BOOM TO LAUNCHED TONIGHT. BE Event Will Be Given In Crystal Room of Benson Hotel; Music to Be Feature. Leonard Wood's presidential cam paign will be launched In Oregon to night at a chicken dinner In the crys tal room of the Benson hotel.

E DELAYED 'HEALER'S' AMAZING METHODS REVEALED Woman Related to Lucas by First Marriage Testifies. DEPOSITION IS THRILLING LOWER VALUATION OF SIMON TRACT DISCOVERED. Commissioner Pier Will Withhold Action Pending Investigation; Assessor's Figures Cited. Purchase of the five-acre tract on East Belmont and East Thirty seventh street by the city from Joseph Simon probably will be delayed by the discovery of the assessed valua tion of $14,000 for the tract given on the books of County Assessor Reed. At a meeting of the city council last week, authorization was given to Commissioner Pier to purchase this and two other tracts. Commissioner Pier then negotiated with Mr. Simon and agreed upon a price of $27,600, which was announced by Commis sioner Pier to be just $1000 below the assessed valuation of the land. Yesterday a city official, not direct. ly Interested in the deal, discovered the assessed valuation of the prop erty, which resulted in a check on the county assessor's book. Commis sioner Pier was not apprised of the facts in sufficient time to make any Investigation, but said last night that he would begin a check Immediately. The Simon tract is proposed as a playground for children of Sunnyside and also to replace that now estab lished on private property directly south of Laurelhurst park. 'Development of Spirituality in Fe male Sex" Declared to Be Bor dering on Immorality. Description of the method advo cated by Alzamon Ira Lucas for "the development of spirituality in the female sex" in the deposition of Mrs. Margaret Peebles Colburn of Los An geles met with a distinct intake of breath from spectators in the court room when read to a Jury yesterday afternoon in the $50,000 libel suit brought by the alleged "healer" against the Portland Evening Tele gram. It was partially on this depo sition that the defense based its con tention that the "higher relationship" preached by Lucas cloaked actual Immorality. "It seemed to me that he was turn ing a material qualification into spiritual one," was the comment of Mrs. Colburn in the statement read. She was related by marriage to the first wife of Lucas, who was a white woman, as is his second wife. She said that he explained his doctrines to her at length and freely admitted that he was of colored blood. He has denied on the witness stand that he was of negro parentage, attributing his dark color and kinky hair to the Cherokee Indian and Hindu blood which, mixed with ,French and. Hol land, he declared, flows in his veins. Judge Tucker adjourned the trial last night' until Monday m.ornlhg at 9:80. It started a week ago yesterday, but should be In the hands of the jury Monday night. Threat Laid to "Healer." On the threat that if she did not take his treatment she would be sub ject to a stroke of paralysis or apo plexy within two weeks and the prom ise to make her a "different woman,' free from neuritis and all sciatio pains, Mrs. Belle Harding, an aged woman living at Oregon City, con tracted for a series of treatments from Lucas, she testified yesterday. Fifty dollars was paid in advance for a course of treatment, including two visits weekly to Lucas' office and home exercises, over a period of three months. For this money Lucas signed an agreement promising its return if the patient was not benefited. Mrs. Harding said that Lucas took the original agreement from her and kept it when she came to his office after three months, during which no im provement in her condition was per ceptible and that he refused to give her money back. She had kept a copy, however, and brought suit after Lucas had told her that was all she could do, receiving $40 In compror.ilse two hours before the hearing was sched uled, averred the witness. Lucas' treatment at his office con sisted of the laying on of hands and prayer, asserted Mrs. Harding. For home practice, he would write cer tain rituals and exercises 'through which the patient was to go daily One of the slips, in Lucas handwrit ing, was in evidence. Most of the treatment required going into a room and sitting quietly in a chair many times a day. repeating sentences Lu cas had written, observed the witness. Ad Men Give Testimony. Facts in the possession of the better business bureau of the Portland Ad club, on which several of the charges in the alleged libel were based, were related on the stand by Charles W. English, secretary, who offered a file of correspondence and Investigation recoras to suostantiate nis assertions. A probe into the history of Lucas and his methods was begun In August, 1918, and a report of findings was sent, as Is customary, to Portland newspapers for consideration in their acceptance of proffered advertising by Lucas. From local police and direct sources there was evidence concerning the activities of Lucas in the cities of Bellingham, Seattle, Dayton and Walla Walla, WasHt; Denver, Colo., and Boise, Idaho. There was also report of Lucas' own testimony before the directors of the bureau. Letters which were submitted by a complain ant, Mrs. Anona Morris, were read into the evidence. They told of a contract made with Lucas for $60 which guar anteed treatjnents which would pre vent heart trouble, cure dropsy and cause the patient to lose at least 10 pounds, and another contract for nine months course which would qualify the student to teach and heal humanity for $260. Letters written by Lucas, requesting Mrs. Morris to act as informant for Lucas In the dl vorce troubles of another woman were read.

Yates is serving a two-year sen tence at Fort Jay for drawing a re volver on Captain Detzer. Arthur R. Graham, a bank clerk of Sioux City, la., who worked in the office of Detzer's company, declared he once saw the captain strike Yates, saying: "Oh, how I love you." as he did so. He declared he saw signs of other prisoners having been beaten, but he didn t know by whom. He once saw Sergeant Frank Hoyt. Detzer's as sistant, strike a prisoner in the stora. ach with his fist, in the captain's presence, he said. Graham also testified he had seen other prisoners bearing marks of vio lence. The defense drew from him that he had never seen a man "forced to sigh a confession at the point of a pistol," although he had seen many witnesses examined. He also testified that he had heard the accused order his men not to use their blackjacks on prisoners except in self-defense, and that he had not seen any cruelty "on the part of Captain Detzer person ally."

Mrs. Siverly told the eounty au thorities that Chapman had killed himself. There were no witnesses. save Mrs. Slverly'a brother. Charles Chrlstianson, who, coming from Enumclaw and nearing his stater's house Friday morning, heard a shot, he said, and at the same moment saw her rusn from the back of the house. ChristlanBon ran upstairs and found Chapman's body. The man had been killed instantly. Rifle la Hear Body. Chapman's body was sprawled out between a corner formed by the bed and a bureau. He was completely dressed. Near the body was a 32-40 caliber rifle with the muzzle on the floor and the butt propped against the bed. No string or other appli ance was attached to the rifle. The man had been ehot through the right temple. The high powered bul let, tearing open the top of the skull, had ranged upward and lodged in the ceiling. The rifle contained only the empty shell. Mrs. Siverly, while nervous, gave the officers a clear account of her acquaintance with Chapman and her version of the events leading up ,fo his death. She related that she had known him for more than a year. Mrs. Siverly has been separated from her husband for one year. Before this, she said. Chapman worked for Siverly and it was thus they became acquainted. After she and her husband parted. added Mrs. Siverly, she went to The Dalles, Or., and there met Chapman and grew to know him intimately. On another occasion she saw him In Tacoma.

Mrs. Siverly declared that twice re cently Chapman had called at her ranch. Owing to the fact that she was living alone, feared the neigh bors might gossip and considered it would provoke the enmity of her brothers, who Were frequent visitors, she said she told Chapman to leave. Both times, she affirmed, she had great difficulty in getting rid of him. Thursday afternoon, narrated Mrs. Siverly, Chapman appeared unexpect edly, vv hen she told him to leave, she said, he refused and alternately threatened her and cajoled her all evening. He was trying to persuade her to go away with him, but she persistently declined to leave the ranch. 'Finally. Mrs. Siverly told the authorities, "it was agreed that he would go away on the 9 o'clock stage Friday morning." Chapman MIsaea Stage. Tet, when Friday morning came. she added, he managed to miss the stage and returned to the house. This time, she asserted, he flourished a revolver and threatened to kill her and then take his own life. She de clared she was in mortal terror of htm. About 9:30, the woman went on. she and Chapman were standing up stairs. The dog barked, and Chap man said: "See who that is." Mrs. Siverly Said she ran down' stairs and saw her brother approach ing. At this moment, she related, the report of a rifle rang out. She re fused to go upstairs, begging her brother to see what had happened. Chrlstianson corroborated this fea ture of bis sister's story.
