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.

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!"

E DELAYED
'HEALER'S' AMAZING
METHODS REVEALED
Woman Related to Lucas by

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.

Mrs. Hllle May Stverly's Account of
Shooting is Corroborated In
- Part by Brother.
SEATTLE. Wart, Dec It. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Hllle May Siverly. 42,
who lives alone on a ranch two miles
from Enumclaw, waa arrested Friday
night and is held in the county Jail
pending an investigation Into the
death of Walter Chapman, 35, a Ta-
coma laborer, whose body was found, I
the top of his head blown off by a
rifle bullet, in a bedroom on the sec
ond floor of her home about 9:30
o'clock Friday mo-sing.
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.
Divorce la Awaited.
At that time, she recited, she and
Chapman were "waiting for her hus
band to divorce her bo they could be
married."
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.
