TRIAL THIS TO BRIBERY
CANADIAN WITNESSES RELATE
STILLMAX "ritOPOSALS."
rour Women Declare Attorney for
Banker Offered Clothes and
Sloney for Testimony.
MONTREAL, April 12. Counsel
representing Mrs. Anne U. Stillman in
the divorce suit filed by James A.
Stillman, New York banker, concluded
today the calling of Canadian wit
nesses to testify in her behalf. To
morrow Mr. Stillman's lawyers will
summon four witnesses, and the Cana
dian phase of the trial probably will
end.
A Canadian attorney representing
Mr. Stillman was named today by four
women witnesses as the man who
sought to bribe one of them by prom
ised of pretty clothes and money to go
to New York and testify she had
seen Mrs. Stillman acting improperly
with Fred Beauvais, Indian guide,
named as co-respondent.
Elizabeth Wilson of Three Rivers,
Que., said she refused the lawyer's
offer and told him she had not seen
Mrs. Stillman and Beauvais miscon
ducting themselves. She was corrob
orated by yiree others, who said they
they had overheard the conversation.
Joseph Blackburn testified that J-
Albert Lafontaine, alleged agent for
Mr. Stillman, had told him in 1920
that if he could say he had seen
wrongful conduct by Mrs. Stillman
and Beauvais "it surely would be a
great favor to Mrs. Stillman, because
if the divorce went through she could
marry Beauvais."
Mr. Beauvais, the father of the
guide, said that Lafontaine spoke to
him in a similar way.
Yesterday and the day before other
witnesses testified that Lafontaine
had offered large sums of money to
induce persons along the St. Maurice
valley to testify against the banker's
wife.
MR. WILLIAMS BIG ASSET
Ex-Governor Bowcruian Advocates
Committeeman's Ke-election.
Jay Bowerman, ex-governor, issued
the following statement yesterday:
Ralph K. Williams has been Oregon's
representative on the republican national
committee for about 14 years. He is one
of the oldest members in point of service
andT already has been advanced to the
position of vice-chairman a position
which never before has been held by a
member 'from any of the western states.
I feel that Oregon is greatly honored
by having as its member of this important
body a man who has been able by his
ccomplishments to so impress himself
upon his feilow members that this signal
honor has been conferred upon him, al
though he represents one of the smaller
states.
I recently saw Mr. Williams in Wash
ington and had an opportunity of observ
ing his standing among the officials there,
and found that Mr. Williams was cor
dially received by all of the higher gov
ernment officials. I feel that it would ba
a grievous mi.stake to supplant Mr. Wil
liams by an inexperienced man during a
republican administration. Mr. Williams
is in a position to do more for the people
of Oregon than any new man we could
elect.
I recommend Mr. Williams re-election
because of the good service he has per
formed and because of the good work
be is in the position to do for the state.

MAYOR BAKER ADDRESSES
LOCAL ENGIXEERS.
Los Angeles Cited as Town Where
Co-operation Has Helped to
Gain Bis Ends.
If Portland people have the vision
necessary to "put it over," this city
will be one of the largest in the
United States and Oregon will be a
well-populated state, with millions
of happy, contented folk of all call
ings in life. If there is insufficient
foresight, if parsimony prevails and
differences of opinion are permitted
to wedge their way in and pry the
various sections of the common
wealth apart, the future will not
witness the development wished for.
Such was the declaration of George
L. Baker, mayor of Portland, in an
address on "The 1925 Exposition and
the Engineers," before the American
Association of Engineers in their
headquarters, Tilford building, last
night. The place was crowded to
the doors and applause frequently
greeted the remarks of the execu
tive.
"You cannot build a great city
without using money, and you can't
bring people to populate a state and
make it great without doing some
thing to attract their attention." said
the mayor. "I believe in vision, in
vigorous progress and constructive
statesmanship. The small-minded and
jealous .element will never build up
a community or get much of any
where. We must be big and broad;
we must be generous, thoughtful of
others, aggressive, if we would make
of Portland what it might be and of
Oregon what if rightfully may be.
"As a prize community where team
work has achieved results of a re
markable character, I refer you to
Los Angeles Los Angeles, which,
but a few years ago, was laughed at
by its sister city on the bay, but
which, today, is the largest city on
this coast."

Best to Protect Government
In Contract Rows.
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 12. In
a formal statement replying to
charges made yesterday on the floor
of the house. Secretary Weeks de
clared today that the war department
was doing "everything possible" to
clear up war contract controversies
in such a way as to protect fully the

Cash and property amounting to
many millions already had been re

being reviewed as rapidly as possible.
Referring specifically to requests
for an investigation made by Rep
resentatives Johnson, republican.
South Dakota, and Woodruff, repub
lican, Michigan, the secretary said
that if congress thought an inquiry
advisable the war department would
"welcome it."

DEMOCRATIC ISSUES
OUTLINED BY COX
Censure of Present Adminis
tration Urged.
LEAGUE MANDATE BOOED
Dcfeated Presidential Candidate
Discounts Vote That Lost
Election to . Him.
LOUISVILLE, Ky., April '12. James
M. Cox, ex-democratic candidate for
president, speaking before the Wood
row Wilson club at its first annual
dinner here tonight, outlined th
issues which, In his judgment, will
be presented in the congressional
elections this year.
"It simply will be necessary," he
said, "to articulate the grievanc
against the present administration
which has fastened itself upon every
community in America. '
He also touched upon the .tariff,
the federal reserve system ana tn
league of nations. The Wilson ad
ministration, he said, demonstrated
that a high tariff was not necessary
to prosperity. Without the federal
reserve system, he asserted, the war
could not have been won, and the
claim . of a "plurality against the
league of nations," he declared,
mere buncombe."
Alleged Sins Issue.
"Our republican friends," he said,
at the beginning of his. address,
"seem to be very much worried as to
what the democracy will present as
its Isue in the congressional elections
this year. In my judgment, at least.
it will simply be necessary to articu
late the grievance against the pres
ent administration which has fas
tened itself upon every community in
America. In short, the issue will be
the sins of omission and of commis
sion on the part of the admlnistra
tion. When we have chronicled the
bad things that have been done and
the good things that might have been
done, the record will be ample for a
successful campaign. Into the sins
of omission will, of course, come
America's failure to join in the world
of international co-operation by be
coming a member of tha league of
nations.
"The man in the street does not re
gard the league of nations now as a
mere affair of idealism. He recog
nizes that his own economic condition
is affected by economic conditions
elsewhere. He also knows that pros
perity must be preceded by order and
that existing disorder is being abated
in Europe by conference and co-oper
ation.
Refutation Is Defied.
"Speaking of issues, an old cam
paign associate of the republicans will
be missing this year. Since the war
between the states , they have con
tended that the democratic party was
a party of oppositidn and thoroughly
lacking in the qualities of construc
tive leadership. The record of eight
years of progress, justice, reform and
reconstruction is so thoroughly out
lind in the memory of the people
that it will be a waste of time for
republican orators to challenge demo
cratic accomplishmerrt. Not only did
the witnesses' on administration dem
onstrate that a high tariff system was
not necessary to our prosperity, but
tWat an unprecedented' prosperity came
under tariff schedules which the re
publicans for 50 years had proclaimed
to be dangerous.
"Not only , was the country pros
perous under Mr. Wilson, but it was
a different kind of prosperity than
the country had known before. The
products of activity were widely dif
fused and prosperity touched the
humblest cottage in frhe land. The
democratic prosperity played no fa
vorites.
Reserve System Praisedt
"Undier the federal reserve system
the resources of America were avail
able for the fiscal salvation, not of
groups, but of all America. Without
it we could not have won the war
Under its administration the Ameri
can dollar was the only symbol of
value in the world that made its par
ity. As a supplement to this very
wise legislation was the farm loan act
Not only were our domestic condi
tions more satisfactory than in all
the history of the country, but under
democratic leadership a plan was
evolved to make war practically im
possible, to turn the cost of heavy
armaments into other courses, and to
make certain early readjustments fol
lowing the great war. If we had en
tered the league and given the co
operation of the greatest creditor na
tion in the world, our economic read
justment woijld be in the form of a
light fever instead of a stroke of com
mercial paralysis.
"What our party stood for and
what the republicans opposed affords
the best example of the constructive
policy under democratic auspices and
the destructive policy under repub
lican auspices.
Republican Vote Discounted.
"A great deal has been said about
a mandate having been rendered
against the league of nations. Let us
analyze this claim with a fairness
that will appeal to every unpreju
diced person. Let us subtract from
the seven million plurality those
three nationalities who voted the re
publican ticketthrough purely racial
grievances Then we take away the
business interests that we promised
relief in taxation; then let us take
into our calculations the hundreds
of thousands of conscientious patriot
fc republicans who were deceived by
Messrs. Hughes, Hoover, Root, Lowell
and Taft.
"After these subtractions are made
there is no plurality whatsoever
against the league. .The truth is
that the claim is mere buncombe."
Governor Cox also discussed the
disarmament conference and the
treaties growing out of it in rela
tion to points of international pol
icy and reviewed much of the ground
which he covered in his speech in
New York last Saturday night, par
ticularly with reference to what the
administration has done to embarrass
the league.
JUNIORS OPERATE CHURCH
Youths 6 to 1 6 Years old
Hold
Own Services.
INDIANAPOLIS, . Ind., Aprii 12.
iunior church, the membership
-A
of
which is limited to persons between 6
and 16 years old, with the preacher
the only adult present, is being suc
cessfully operated in this city. The
plan was inaugurated by the Rev. N.
S. Sichterman of Grace Presbyterian
church.
According to Dr. Sichterman, there
are 60 children ranging in age from
6 to 16 years who are members of the
junior organization.. They have their
own reom for services, which are of
30 minutes' duration, and have their
own -officers. The plan was put into
operation in January, and Dr. Sichter
man is so pleased with the results
that he expects soon to double the
membership.
Dr. Sichterman said the idea o
forming a junior church developed
from his experiences in church while
a boy.
"My people came from Holland and
settled in a neighborhood of Holland
ers in a small Michigan town," he
said. "The church I attended as
boy also used the Dutch language and
the sermons sometimes lasted two
hours or more. I well remember how
tired and restless I would get as the
time dragged on, for the sermon,
while appealing to adults, was not
such as would appeal to the child.
"It was this experience which gava
birth to the junior church idea, .and
last January I started the organiza
tion. The results have been gratify
ing. The children have their own
board of elders, board of deacons and
board of trustees and name their own
ushers. They also have their own
choir. I am the only adult presen
at the services. The hymns and text
of the sermons are such that will ap
peal to the child mind."
Dr. Sichterman said he had started
the children into engaging in three
minute talks and hoped eventually to
have some of them take turns a
preaching.
