THE SUNDAY OREGOIA, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 10, 1907. FELT IN JAIL- TOO Bank Holidays Prevent Trials in Criminal Cases. PRISONERS ARE LOSERS Are Deprived, or Their Liberty if In nocent and Gain o Time on Sentences If Vltimately Found Guilty. 0 Unab'e "to secure a hearing before the State Circuit Court because of .the bank holidays, S3 state prisoners are being held behind the bars of the County Jail, waiting impatiently for the end of the holiday period. All sorts of measures have been tried by several of the prisoners to bring their eases up for trial, but in vain. The law can rightfully hold them in Jail, but the same law cannot put its machinery into motion to determine whether or not they are rightfully deprived of their liberty. Such at least has been the decision of the Circuit Court Judges after looking up the law. In several cases the dates of trial had been set and the matter of guilt or in nocence of the accused would long since have been disposed of. The pris oners are the losers, regardless of the possible outcome of their trials, for If found guilty the time now being served would bring them nearer the date of release, while, if innocent, they are serving out an ordinary County Jail term awaiting the end of the holi days. The predicament has caused endless complaint among the 33 men, but has had at least one beneficial effect that of causing three men to try to escape Inaction by admitting their guilt and saying they would go into court, plead guilty and take their medicine without a murmur, provided the court would only sit for them. The court, however, could not consider any such offer. The first of these prisoners to admit his guilt was M. F. Goldsmith, accused of having embezzled several hundred dollars from Big Stchel. He was bound over to the grand Jury September 25, and was to have been tried about the date Governor Chamberlain proclaimed the first bank holiday. Several days ago ho sent for County Jailor Beattie and said ho was ready to go into court and plead guilty, provided his trial be delayed no longer. Yesterday two more prisoners an nounced their willingness to plead guilty under the stress of continued confinement. These two, Joe Bokoskl and John Crawford, were held to the grand jury from the Municipal Court two weeks ago on a charge of having knifed a drunken man. The evidence pgalnst them was not strong and some doubt exists as to whether they would have been convicted. Both had de nied any knowledge of the cutting. Their confession yesterday was ab ject. They did stab the man and they were willing to admit in court, pro vided they might get a minimum sen tence and begin serving time. They had heard the rumors abroad in the jail that the holidays are to last sev eral months and thought it better to spend that time serving out a sentence rather than take any chances. This rumor was started in the jail by pris oners already serving time there and doubtless for the purpose of amusing themselves at the expense of those awaiting trial. BKARD MILL MAKE A TKST Jicnles Power of Magistrate to Coiu I mil Hint for Trial. The power of the Municipal Court to hold prisoners to the State Circuit Court for trial during the bank holidays is to be tested. Myron Beard, held for wife heating after a hearing before Judge Cameron, yesterday forenoon, protests that the charge against hira is unfounded and untrue. He has engaged Attorney AlcCann to apply to the United States Court for a writ of hapeas corpus on the ground that the court had no power to send him to the Conty Jail to await trial on a holiday. Judge Cameron says that under the law he is clearly authorized to make commitments, and that he will continue to do so, although the trial of no more state cases will be had until the close of the holiday season. As to Beard's protestations of inno cence, the court has views of his own, since he was called from home late at night recently in response to the screams of Mrs. Beard, who lives In the same neighborhood. He rushed to the Beard home to find the woman had been beaten half to death, and then caused the arrest of the husband. AWAY FROM WALl STREET Thinks National Capital Should Be Located in Middle West.' PORTUAND, Nov. 9. (To the Editor.) The Oregonian's editorials on he present financial crisis have been able and very timely, and the thinking public has un doubtedly read them with appreciation. They reveal a very, strange condition of affairs and show, that even in the midHt of plenty, and prosperity in evidence everywhere throughout our broad land, the circulating medium and financial af fairs of the whole country can be manip ulated by a few men, located in the city of New York, for their own benefit, and to the detriment and upheaval of the whole country. Now that the financial atmosphere has cleared somewhat, and confidence is being rapidly restored, it might be well to ask why the whole financial fabric of this country should be so disturbed whenever there is a little flutter among the financial institu tions of New York City? There will be many remedies suggested, and brought forward to prevent the re currence of these stated and periodical financial panics: a more elastic cur rency, better banking laws. Government supervision over trust companies. All these may prove beneficial, and be of great help to the country at large. But 1 firmly believe that there Is still a greater remedy and one which will bring with It the others In a higher degree and that remedy Is the removal of the National capital away from the domina tion of Wall street. It matters not how strong and able a man we may have in the Presidential chair, the environment and Influence brought to bear upon him and his advisers cannot be resisted: and so the bankers of Wall street and the magnates of the metropolis will sway the Government to their purpose. The financial men of Wall street seem to think that they possess an inherent right to shape tho policy of any and all ad ministrations, and if not successful in this, they will manage to harass and thwart the policy of the President or ad ministration. They have always been .ble to do this and will continue to do so, as long as the seat of National Govern ment is In their vicinity.' The present financial situation has brought to my mind the agitation for the removal of the National capital, which attained -some degree of headway during the panic of 1S93-4, as many will recall. The idea which prevailed then was to remove the seat of National Government to some location on the Mississippi River, in the vicinity of St Louis, away from the domination of the magnates of New York City and the influence of Wall street. The reason- which prompted the movement then are many times stronger today, as the predictions set forth at that time have been veriftea, and at. the expense of urjtold millions of dollars to this Western country. There are many good and valid reasons to be advanced for such a removat, In addition to the above, but the principal one, and which Is of vital interest to everyone west of the Alleghany Mountains, la to escape the contaminating Influence of Wall street. The maneuvers of Wall street in the present crisis were about the same as the tactics followed during the panic of 18S3-4. as to the manipulation of the available funds of the country, iue United States Treasury was called upon for assistance, and when the millions upon millions of gold were given them by the United States Treasurer, they simply locked it up In their vaults, neither did they release any of the reserves on de posit by the outside banks. The same practice was pursued at this time. If they, the New York banks, had released the reserves on deposit by the Western banks, and shipped the same to them when the Government made their de posit, then there would have been no trouble experienced by our banks in the West If the United States Treasurer had foreseen, what he does today, he may have Insisted upon such a pro cedure, and a panic would not have en sued in the West. But to avoid such a repetition, the only safe remedy is the removal of the Na tion's capital from the influence which menaces it and the whole country. If such an agitation is, once set in motion I am confident that it will be taken up by the people of the West and Middle West, and receive the hearty support of everybody west of the Alleghany Moun tains. The, removal of the Nation's capital is bound to come, and the sooner the better. K. A. KEMPE. ' FORM FELLOWSHIP CIRCLE Followers or Benjamin Fay Mills Will Study Emerson. During Benjamin Fay Mills' stay in Portland he has been asked by scores of individuals whether or not he would organize a society similar to the one in Los Angeles, of which he is Minister in Chief, called the Los Angeles Fel lowship. In answer Mr. Mills has said that he does not think it expedient at this time to organize such a society; but as there are large numbers of peo ple who have become interested In his teachings, or who desire to continue in some sort of association study along these lines, it ia proposed to form what will be called the Fellowship Circle. There will be no conditions of mem bership that will shut out any inter ested person, and it will not be neces sary for any one to withdraw from his present church or other affiliations in order to be connected with the circle. It is proposed to hold meetings once or twice a week under competent lead ership for the future study of Emer son and other great writers and to en gage in some philanthropic work as well as to cultivate a social spirit. There will be no stated dues, but the members will contribute according to their Interest or ability, by the week or by the month. All those who are interested are asked to send their addresses, with tel ephone number, to Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, editor of The Woman's Tribune, 81 Selling-Hirsch building. At the close of Mr. Mills' Sunday evening lec ture he will meet those who are pres ent who desire further information con cerning this proposed organization. Mr. Mills has decided to remain here until Wednesday evening, when he will leave for Tacoma, where he will com mence a eerles of addresses Thursday afternoon. He will speak today in the Women of Woodcraft Hall at 11 A. M. on "How Can a Man Become Acquainted With God?" At 3 P. M. on "What If Spiritualism Were True," and at 7:30 P. M. on "Walt Whitman, the Man," the first of three evening lectures on Walt Whitman and his message. To morrow, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons Mr. Mills will de liver addresses, for which there will be no charge for admission, on the sub ject of spiritual realization. Monday, on "The New Birth"; Tuesday, on "The Evolution of the Soul," and Wednesday, on "How Can a Man Become Divine?" Merely Pushing the Work Aheud. PORTLAND. Nov. 8. (To the Editor.) In The Oregonlan Wednesday morning it was stated that at Its meeting Tuesday night the Rt. John Council had some dis cussion of the fact that we hav -proceeded to organize our company and place our bonds upon the market prior to our accept ance of the gas franchise granted us on October 22, and the filing of our HO. 000 bond, as required by said franchise. Uectlon 32 of the franchise provides that we have 30 days In which to file our acceptance, and section 7 gives us another 80 days in which to die our bond. Our present holidays began . on October 2, since when no legal business could be trans acted, but notwithstanding we have contracted with the Hallldle Machinery Company, of Cleveland. O.. for more than $21,000 worth of machinery for the plant, and we are organizing our forces, and push ing all matters that legally can be attend ed to, so that actual construction of the works may be begun and they may be completed at the earliest possible moment. There surely can be no objection to this. THE ST. JOHN GAS LIGHT & HEAT CO. Bull Run Problem Is Solved. JOHN DAY. Or.. Nov. 6 (To the Editor.)

There you have it. "Critter Run." It Is not oniy prop erly modest but instructive as well, as it has a sort of "back-to-the-land" sort of sound, suggesting nature, creature and creator.

According to a story in the News tonight, Frank Cov ington and Charles Burilson, wanted for the alleged murder of Agnes Covington, wife of the former, in Seattle, are on their way in a sailing schooner to Valparaiso Chile, and will be arrested on arrival there. For over two months nearly every Northwest and British Columbia officer has been on the lookout for these two men. To D. O. Smith, a Tacoma detective, belongs credit for having run down Buril son and Covington. Shortly after the atrocious butchery of Mrs. Covington two men applied to the master of the sailing schooner Henry Sailing for berths. They got them, and thereafter until trie schooner lifted anchor stayed closely to their lodgings. Both were cigarette fiends, however, and sent out for a large quantity of tobacco and paper. The fact that they were inveterate cigarette smok ers composed part of the published de scription, so when Smith heard of the purchase, which was after the Henry Sailing went out. he proceeded to get full descriptions of the men who had secured berths The descriptions tallied so ex actly that little doubt is left of the whereabouts of the much -wanted pair. . The two were booked as Jack Ed wards and Arthur Hume. The Henry Sailing will reach Valparaiso about December 1. The American Consul has been cabled, and Chilean officers await the vessel's arrival.
