FAILING, PIOIER, 13 DEAD Interests in City Beth Bank ing and Merchandise. , FUMERAL SERVICES TODAY Resident of City Since Boyhood Came to Oregon on Clipper Ship Around Cape Horn. James F. Falling, widely known pioneer merchant and banker of Portland, died" at an early hour yesterday morning at his home, 243 Eleventh street. He was 78 years old. and had been a resident of this city since boynood, hla principal business interests being In the Fail-lng-McCalman company, the oldest hardware concern on the Pacific coast. Following: an operation last Decem ber, Mr. Failing at first recuperated, but his health declined. He had, however, been up and around until last Friday, when his condition began to grow serious. Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the First Baptist church, Dr. O. C. Wright offi ciating. Interment will be made in the family lot at Riverview cemetery. Nen York Birthplace. Mr. Failing was born In New Tork City, March 24. 1842. In 1853 he came to Oregon with his mother on the clipper ship Hurricane around Cape Horn. In Portland he joined his father. Joslah Failing, who had come here in 1851 and established a general mercantile store known as J. Failing & Co. Here he worked as a clerk. The store was located on the site now occupied by the George Lawrence 'company at First and Oak streets. He later became the head of the business, taking ah active part in its management until 1900, when he re tired, leaving his three sons, Edward J., John C. and Frederick E.. in the firm. He remained president of the company until his death. He was educated at Portland academy, known then as the Port land academy and female seminary. In 18S0 he married Miss Jane Conner, a member of another prominent pio neer family of Albany, Or. Besides his widow and three sons, there are two daughters, Henrietta and Kate, who survive him, and three grand-fl children, Jean, Mary and James F. Failing, Jr., children of Edward J. Failing. Miss Kate Failing is at present in Ongole, Gunter district, South India, where she is engaged in Baptist missionary work. This prob ably will prevent her returning home for four or five years. Service With Bank Kotrd. Mr. Failing was an important figure in banking circles as well as the hardware trade. Since 1877 he has been a director in the First National bank, and. at the time of his death was senior director in point of service. He was also a director in the Security, Savings & Trust com pany. Mr. Failing took a keen Interest in church affairs. He was a member of the First Baptist church, for many years its treasurer, and active in its work as a trustee and deacon. For about 20 years he served as treasurer of the Oregon Baptist state conven tion, and was a trustee of the denom ination's college at McMinnville. He acted as a director for the Portland T. M. C. A. for some time. He was a member of various pio neer organisations, including the Oregon P'aneers, Oregon Historical society and Lang Syne societv, and was interested in all activities of old-time residents of the city and state. The offices of the Oregon Baptist state convention in the Tilford build ing will be closed all day out of re spect to the memory of Mr. Failing. He was serving his 21st year as treasurer and as a member of the board of managers of the convention. Truth Rewards Tellers in Police Court. Apontli-s of Georare ManhinKtoo Kind Itoad to Freedom Kaay. TRUTHFULNESS Is a habit whiqh some people never acquire. And taking the police court habitues as they pass before the bar of Justice day after dny, there can be found but a small percentage who are will ing to emulate the boy, George Washington, who, according to his tory, confessed that he and his hatchet had made it Impossible for the Wash ington household to enjoy cherry pies. But now and then, there appears the exception. And upon sui-h rare occasions Judge ltossman Is so over joyed at finding a prisoner who is willinir to tell the truth that his con science compels him toward extreme leniency. For instance, George Evans, in spite of other shortcomings, told the truth when he appeared in court charged with visiting a Chinese lottery. And his honesty and truthfulness bought him a first-class ticket on the road to freedom. But Frank Oliver, John Deppler and Jim Tillman Just couldn't tell the truth. They hail been arrested with Kvans in tlie lottery den of Ah Chin. "This Chink's a friend of ours, and we just went down to visit him," de clared the trio with an air of injured innocence. "I went there to buy lottery tickets and they were doing the same thing," confessed Evans. "You three fellows will serve three days eaili in jail." ordered the court, indicating Oliver. Deppler and Till man. "And I am going to let you go. Evans. It's so seldom I get the whole truth down here that I feel like of- Railroad Man Gives Good Advice "Several years ago I was under treatment of a stomach specialist for five months, three weeks of which w ere spent in a hosjtal. Another stomach specialist told me I had gall stones and that an operation was necessary. I did not want to have tnis. I lost 45 pounds in weight. Talk ing with a brakeman one day he told me of Mayrs Wonderful Remedy and since taking it I have gained 16 pounds and am feeling fine. I am advising others to try it. It Is a simple, harmless preparation that re moves the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflam mation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money refunded. At all feringr a reward, fine of 20." Ah Chin can pay a If Joe Gallagher also told the truth and it bought him happiness and lib erty. It was seven months ago that Joe made his last appearance in police court. He had been a frequent of fender and was almost considered an habitual drunk. On this last trip Judge Rossman had given him a sound lecture and Joe had pledged his word to quit drinking. But yesterday Joe came back. He had been paralyzed drunk the night before. "If it handn't been for my neuralgia I never would have tasted liquor again," he told Judge Rossman. "I was driven almost crazy with the neuralgia pain and started to drink liquor as the only way to get relief." Judge Rossman Investigated his plea and learned that he had been having his teeth treated during the few days he had been in from the V i t "-x fe.;:.sS its .'X 1 t ! Photo by McAJpin. James F. Falling, pioneer real dent and baaineaa man. who died here yesterday woods. A bad case of neuralgia had existed, Joe's physician told the court, and Joe once more found himself out of Jail. "I mean to stick by my promise to quit drinking," he said as he departed. "I just want to prove I am a man of my word." A different variety of truthfulness came from the lips of Tom Maloney, an old offender who makes periodic visits as a result of hair oil and moonshine. "I won't promise to quit drinking but I'll promise to try my damnedest," he said as the court room laughed. "Well, can't you promise to leave it alone?" parried the court. "No, I don't want to make a promise that I might break, but I'll do my best." The pledge, uttered with such vehemence, was good enough for the court, and Tom was allowed to go his way. Iva Freed has been in Jail and the police court so often that it seems al most like home to her. Iva had gone to a "lady barber shop" down in the north end where her sister was em ployed, and thrown a rock through the window just to show her contempt for the proprietress. Then she walked into the police station and gave her self up. The police charged her with being drunk, but there was no one to prove it. After she promised to pay for the window she was given her liberty. ii KIWANIS HEAR DEBATE Divided Session Amendment Is Threshed Out at Xoon Luncheon. Passage ' of the divided cession amendment at the coming election would result in less confusion during the closing days of the legislature and give the lawmakers a chance to think over each bill before making a final decision, according to John A. Laing of the Portland Gas & Coke company, in a debate with C. C. Chapman of the Oregon Voter at the meeting of the Kiwanis club at the Benson hotel yesterday noon. Mr. Chapman declared that the di vided session of the legislature had proven a failure in California. A telegram from nine members of the club, who are on the Eastern Ore gon trade excursion, was read and told of an enjoyable trip. The tele pram was signed by E. R. Wiggins, W. H. Wahl, S. B. Vincent. D. Levine, George A. Lovejoy, Lester M. Leland, Henry W. Hughes, A. V. Wells and W. C. Culbertson. Harold Jungck led in singing Kiwanis songs.
