Receiver of Stolen Property
Escapes Prison Term.
GATE MS FINES MAN $500
Defendant's Attorney Asks len
iency for Client; SLany Valuables
Listed as Loot of Gangster.
Rymtn Cohan, whose trade in stolen
property has run Into thousands of
dollars during months past, according
to testimony hefor ths Multnomah
county trrand Jury, was fined $500 toy
Presiding Judge Oateas yesterday,
after pleading: guilty to one of seven
indictments. A sentence of one year
In the penitentiary was given with
a parole attached.
Cohen's pawnshop- at 110 First
street, received most of the loot from
the 17 burglaries confessed to by
Arthur Sohmidllng. Elmer Zimmerman
nd Guy Lambertson, and Cohen him
self was a leading: spirit in the crimes,
according to their statements before
the grand jury. Not only did he buy
the property brought him by the boys
at a ridiculously low figure, but he
would tell them the sort of articles
of which he was In need and they
would supply the demand by theft,
according to the statement made to
the court by Deputy District Attor
ney Bernard. District Attorney Evans
had refused offers by Cohen to plead
guilty If he would recommend the
waiving of a Jail sentence.
Attorney Frederick Drake requested
leniency of the court on the ground
that it was the first time in 12 years
that his client had been so charged.
The district attorney's office was con
tent to lay the evidence before the
Jurist, confidently expecting a fine
and county Jail sentence if not a peni
tentiary term for Cohen. Judge Gatens
did not ask for a recommendation
from Deputy District Attorney Ber
nard. In reply to a question from the
Judge, Cohen answered that he was
not married and had no children.
Six Charges DlimluMd.
As it saved the county the expense
of a trial, the district attorney agreed
to dismiss the other six outstanding
Indictments against Cohen when he
pleaded guilty to one.
One Incident cited to Judge Gatens
by Deputy Bernard concerning the
property of Joseph Oberle, stolen from
h's home at 14S0 Fairmount boulevard
on October 4. A velvet smoking
Jacket, 22 caliber repeating rifle, $100
In liberty bonds and $40 in war sav
ings stamps were taken and sold to
Cohen for $90 after he had been fully
apprised as to where they came from,
said Bernard. Forty dollars was paid
down and Zimmerman went in the
shop two days later to get 150 rflore
promised. In the meantime he had
been arrested and was under police
surveillance the second trip.
Officers went to the shop after
Zimmerman had come out with the
$50, and found the bonds and stamps,
as well as other articles. Cohen's at
torney explained yesterday that only
the $50 had been paid for ths $140
worth of bonds and stamps and that
after Cohen had investigated and sat
isfied himself they were not stolen.
In the package of stamps taken from
Cohen's store was Qberle's name and
address.
Bernard Accnaes Cohen.
"Cohen even went to the home of
Lambertson to get some of the loot,
oarrylng it to his shop in a gunny
sack," explained Bernard to Judge
Gatens. "Cohen always knew where
the stuff Came from as he was par
ticular in this regard So as to protect
himself. He not only received goods
with the knowledge that they were
stolen but told the boys ahead of
time what he needed. He even drove
about town with them one time, pick'
ing out a place where they might get
some leather, which they did later."
The following report of Inspector
I F. Russell on property found and
identified as stolen in Cohen's shop
was read to Judge Gatens:
"Brown mink neckpiece, . brown
mink muff, property of Henry Martz
loff, 114 East Thirtieth street, stolen

DEALERS' AUTOS TAXABLE
Assessment May Be Evaded If Cars
Are Sold Before Levy Date.
SALEM, Of., Jan, 2. (Special.)
All automobiles owned by motor ve
hide dealers on March 1 will be sub
ject to assessment by the county as
sessor, according to a legal opinion
given today by Attorney-General
Brown. Should these cars be sold by
the dealers, however, between March
1 and the date of making the tax
levy in November or December, the
assessment will shift from the seller
to the purchaser, and the former may
escape paying the tax by making a
proper showing to the county as
sessor. , This showing must be made, ac
cording to the attorney-general, be
fore the tax levy is finally adopted.
The opinion was atiked by the state
tax commission following receipt of
letter On the subject from M. O.
Wilkins, president and manager of
the Oregon Motor Car Dealers' asso
Ciatlon.

HOUR OF OUR
DRAWS NEAR," SAYS CARDINAL
Belgians Give Mercier Demonstration in Brussels Germans Charge
With Bayonets and Wound Several City Is Fined Million Marks.
CARDINAL MERCIER'S STORT.
Including his correspondence
with the German authorities in
Belgium during the war, 1914 to
1918, edited by Professor Fer
nand Mayence of Louvaln uni
versity and translated by the
Benedictine monks of St. Au
gustine's, Ramsgate, England.
(Copyright by Pnblle Ledger Company.
Published by Arrangement.)
Explanatory Comment by Professor Xer-
Baua Atayence.
AT THE end of the eloquent anni
versary service conducted toy
the cardinal In th hnrh rt at
Gudule, Brussels, on July 21. 1916, the
organ proclaimed the Belgian na
tional anthem, "La Brabanconne." It
had the usual effect. The crowd could
not be contained and spontaneously
raised the cry of "Long live Bel
gium! Long live the king!"
'La Brabanconne" is quite as dear
to the Belgian people as "La Marseil
laise" is to the French. Both hymns
celebrate liberty. "La Brabanconne,"
however, is exceptional among na
tional anthems in that its original
text is no longer sung. As first writ
ten the words announced enmity
1th the Netherlands. In a com
paratively short 'time the bitter emo
tionalism of 1830 passed away. Bel
glum came to typify civilization with
peace. It was the unique role which
she sincerely played that intensifies
the odium attaching to the violators
of her neutrality.
Charles Roger wrote the verses of
the new "Brabanconne" now current.
The first stanza runs as follows in
the English version:
Weary ware ot thrall are ended I
And Belgium ia free as of old;
gav'd by her eons' heroic valor.
Her name, her flag, she will uphold.
In her might newly born rejoicing.
Her people united and free. '
Emblazon on her ancient banner,
For king, for law, for libertyl
The original words were written
in 1830 by Louis Dechez Jenneval, a
popular actor, who fought In the rev
olution against the Netherlands.
Francis van Campenhout composed
the music. He was a fairly success
ful musician, who had played in the.
orchestra of the Theater de la Mon-
nale in Brussels and had also ap
peared on the stage as a tenor. Sev
eral operas. Hongs, choruses and some
church music bear his name, but he Is
best known by "La Brabanconne."
(Continuation of Cardinal Mercier's ad
dress in Church of St. Gudule.)
"The head of one of our noblest
families wrote to me: 'Our son of the
7th regiment of the line has fallen:
my wife and I feel our hearts broken.
but if need be we would gladly give
him again.'
"A curate of the capital has Just
been condemned to 12 years' penal
servitude. I was allowed to go in
his cell to embrace and bless him. 'I
have,' said he, 'three brothers at the
front. I believe I am here for aiding
my youngest brother, a lad of 17. to
Join his elder brothers; one of my
sisters is here In a neighboring cell;
but, thanks be to God, my mother is
not alone; she has told us so; besides
she does not weep.'
"Do not our mothers make us think
of the mother of the Machabees?
What lessons of moral grandeur!
Both here and on the roads leading to
exile in the prisons and concentra
tion camps in Holland and Germany.
"Do we reflect sufficiently how
much those brave men must suffer,
who from the very beginning of the
war, from the day after the defense
of Liege and Namur, or the retreat
from Antwerp, have seen their mili
tary career destroyed end now chafe
Under their Inability to bear arms;
those guardians of our rights and
our commercial freedom, who, by
their bravery, have been reduced to
inactivity? There is courage in leap
ing to the attack; there is no less In
holding back from It; there Is even
more virtue at times In suffering than
in action. And these two years of the
Belgian people's calm submission to
the Inevitable, this enduring tenacity
whioh made a humble woman, before
whom the possibilities of an early
peace was discussed, to exclaim: 'Oh,
for us there is no haste; we can still
wait.' How beautiful and full of in
struction for the coming generations!
This is what we must consider, my
brethren, namely, the magnanimity of
the nation In sacrifice, our universal
and persevering brotherhood In af
flictions, in mourning and in the
same invincible hope; that is what
we must bear in mind In order to es
timate, our Belgian fatherland at its
true worth.
"Now, the first authors of this
moral greatness are our soldiers.
"While wniting until they return.
when grateful Belgium will acclaim
the living artd crown the memory of
the fallen, let us raise up In our souls
an imperishable monument of relig
ious gratitude. Let us pray for those
who are no more and exclude no one
from our compassion.
"The hour of our deliverance draws
near, but has not yet struck. Let us
remain patient. Let not our courage
falter. Let us leave to divine Provi
dence the care of perfecting our na
tional education.
"Young women and young girls, let
me ask if you regard with sufficient
gravity the present hour. Pray, do
not show yourselves strangers to
your country's mourning; there are

fashions and attitudes Insulting to
sorrow. Modestly is for you a halo and
a virtue; it is, moreover, today a pa
triotic duty. You also should think
of the privations and .endurance of
our soldiers.
"And Just as at the front our heroes
offer us the marvelous and consoling
spectacle of an inseparable union, of
a military brotherhood which noth
ing can Impair; thus in our ranks,
less serried and with a more elastic
discipline, we shall aim, none the less,
at preserving the same cohesion, the
same patriotic concord. We shall re
spect the truce imposed on our dis
putes by the great cause which alone
should employ and absorb all our
means of attack and fighting; and if
wicked and wretched men do not un
derstand the urgency or the beauty
of this national harmony and still
determine in spite of everything to
foment the passions which at other
times divide us. we will turn away
and continue, without deigning to re
ply, to remain faithful to the pact of
union, friendship, loyal and sincere
confidence, which, in spite of them,
we have made with them, under the
grand inspiration of the war.
"The approaching date of the first
centenary of ourUndependence should
find us stronger, more courageous,
more united than ever. Let us pre
pare for it by work, by patience, by
brotherhood. When In 1930 we re-j
member the dark years of 1914-1916,1
they will appear to us brighter, more
majestic and, provided today we know
how to make up our mind, they will
prove the happiest and most fruitful
of our national history. Per crucem
ad lucem. Light springs from sac
rifice." . At the end of the service the organ
played the "Brabanconne." Up to
that point the congregation, obedient
to the recommendations of the car
dinal, had restrained their emotion,
but scarcely had the last note of the
national hymn died away then spon
taneously a cry . burst forth from
every breast: "Long live Belgium!
Long live the King!"
At the termination of the ceremony
the cardinal, according to custom,
was conducted processionally to the
deanery situated close to the church.
The crowd pressed up to the door of
the sacristy and met him with the
cry: "Long live the cardinal! Long
live liberty!"
In the evening about. 8 o'clock
passers-by recognized the cardinal's
motorcar waiting at the gate of St.
Louis's Institute. A crowd at once
collected and the Instant the cardinal
entered his carriage to return to Ma
lines he was acclaimed with enthus
iastic shouts by a crowd that every
moment grew denser. A German of
ficer appeared on the scene, accom
panied by a detachment of soldiers,
and brutally ordered a bayonet charge
and several persons were wounded.
The cardinal's motorcar rapidly dis
appeared in the direction of Malines.
The following day Lieutenant-General
Hurt sent a letter to the burgomas
ter of Brussels from which we ex
tract the following passages.
"When the cardinal in the evening
passed through the city in his motor
car, a demonstration hostile to the
German authorities took place of such
a nature to rouse the population to
resistance and ill-considered acts.
You must agree, sir, that no occupy
ing power in the world could tamely
submit to such provocation.
"In consequence I have suggested
to the governor-general that he
should inflict a fine upon the entire
population of Brussels. The governor
general has agreed to my proposal
and has inflicted a fine of a million
marks.
The incidents that marked that day,
July 24, occasioned an exchange of
letters between his Eminence and the
governor-general.
"Government General of Belgium,
Brussels,
July 24, 1916.
"To His Eminence Cardinal Mercier,
Archbishop of Malines.
Throughout the country generally
July 24 passed without incident. It
was only at Brussels that a demon
stration took place Incompatible with
the regime of occupation.
"'This demonstration started with
your Eminenoe yourself. The reports
which have reached me inform me
that during the address you delivered
at St. Gudule's you expressed yourself
as follows: The hour of deliverance
draws near, but has not yet struck.
He who bears the responsibility of
this frightful war should receive its
deserts. He that let loose this storm
upon Belgium must be punished.
"My dear brethren, pray for the
martyrs of liberty, remain firm and
unshaken In your hope, your deliver
ance is at hand.
"A curate of our diocese has been
sentenced to . 12 years' penal servi
tude, a nun In our holy church to six
years' imprisonment, fray for these
martyrs who languish in a prison cell
for having served their king and
country.
"1830 . . . an historic date,
when the people Of Belgium wrung
their liberty from their oppressors
. . after 14 years, and a few days
all the churches of Belgium will re
sound with the, Belgian people's
shouts of joy and gladness."
"Before coming to a decision re
specting this Incident, I pray your
Eminence to vouchsafe me, as early
as possible, an explanation of this
affair and inform me if the extracts
quoted above reproduce exactly the
words uttered by you.

expression Of my sincere esteem.

sity of co-operation with the cenus
takers, are being made and will be
shown on the screens.
"Street cars also are to be used in
urging the people's co-operation and
several other features are being con
sidered by the committee. It la of
the utmost Importance that every de
tail asked for by the census takers
shall be given, for upon these data
will Portland be Judged and upon the
Information obtained every agency
having business with this city
throughout the world will gauge us.
Commerce, investments, etc., are In
volved and we must be certain that
all of the facts are In the census re
turns and It is the aim of the ocm
mittee to help by showing the Im
portance of co-operation on the part
of the people.
Supervisor Bennett yesterday gave
hearty approval of the action of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Enumerators had good success In
their work throughout the city yes
terday, according to Supervisor Ben
nett, and there was but one report of
any hesitancy upon the part of citi
zens at first to give full co-operation.
Even In that case, Mr. .Bennett ex
plained, the people who live in the
southeastern section of Portland did
not apparently know that an enu
merator was at the front door. When
he finally knocked at the back door
and they opened it, he explained who
he was and they cheerfully answered
questions.
Co-operation Is Asked.
"We had a magnificent day for the
first Work." said Mr. Bennett, "and
that, of course, aided us very mate
rially. The enumerators found peo
ple at home as a rule, thus saving
duplicate calls. It is hoped that this
will be the rule throughout the two
weeks Of taking the census, for un
less we have the co-operation of the
public it is going to be difficult to
gather the information in the allot
ted time."
Mr. Bennett points out that, until
such time as an enumerator calls and
receives the information, some one
should be at home throughout the day
and the early portion of the night,
as the enumerators will have to work
in certain district whenever it is to
the best advantage.
"While the government specifies
eight hours as a day," said Mr. Ben
nett, "it does not limit the hours to
day work, hence some of the enu
merators will be out on their dis
tricts at the time most advantageous
to themselves and the portion of the
population which they are to see.
Some of them probably will be out
as late aa i o'clock in certain dis
tricts. "Probably the best time, generally
speaking, for our people to work is
between 6:30 and 9 P. M. I most earn
estly urge. the people to arrange so
that some one who is responsible
to do ho shall be present to furnish
the Information. Anyone may do this
who Is old enough to realize the
situation to the extent of giving
proper Information, and If this is done
it surely will be of Inestimable fiene-
