10 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAXD, 31AY 17, 1903. LONE SENTENCES FOR EVILDOERS Judge Cleland Passes Judg ment on Four Offenders in Circuit Court. HOUGHTON ON THE LIST Ex-Con vlct Sent to Penitentiary for Seven Years for Theft John Donahue Draws Five Year Term. Retribution In severe doses overtook, lour of the multitude of criminals that Infest the city, when the offenders in question were taken before the State Cir cuit Court for sentence yesterday morn ing. Here is what happened to the wrong doers: Charles Houghton, larceny from a shop, even years. John Donahue, attempting1 to kill, five years. K. W. Gillett, passing worthless checks, three years. David LaMorra, home-destroyer, one year. Houghton was the first one to be called up for sentence, and the penalty which Judge Cleland inflicted upon him took the fellow's breath away, so that it appeared for a moment that he was about to col lapse. Houghton's offense was not partic ularly a bad one, but his record was black. It could not be learned that he ever did anything more useful than hang about saloons, while he has been in the state prison already. In fact, when he was not in Jail the authorities were con stantly uneasy, for "Chick" Houghton was regarded as being- capable of most any crime, and the police will breathe easier now that he is out of the way for a few more years. With Houghton was a young and inex perienced youth, James Sullivan. He was with Houghton when that malefactor went into a tailoring shop on Washington street and stole two bolts of cloth. But It appeared that Sullivan was not beyond redemption. Walter Evans, a lawyer, told of having loaned Sullivan money on sev eral occasions and of having received It back each time. Court Heeds Plea. Others interested themselves In the young man's behalf, and as a result Judge Cleland was inclined to be lenient. He said he would impose a sentence of one year and allow an immediate parole. Sul livan thanked the court and promised to behave himself well. He would never have gone with Houghton except that he had been drinking, and the liquor left him in an Irresponsible state, he said. John Donahue made a desperate effort to escape penalty. "If you sentence me you are sentencing God,' he said before lie was taken into court. "I'm God." he added, and he tried to look very wild and crazy. But the law had found him out, and this was one case where the insanity game failed to work. Possibly had Dona hue been able to employ costly alienists and high-priced lawyers it would have been otherwise. But he was a poor man, nnd insanity is a rich man's luxury when Interposed as an excuse for some crime. Donahue tried to murder his uncle, Ed ward 6weeney. last Summer. He is a pe culiarly worthless sort of fellow, and the uncle had been keeping him. He went one day to where the uncle was engaged In sweeping docks, and because Sweeney refused to take care of him any longer shot his relative three times. Sweeney was nearly killed, but managed to pull through. Insanity Plea Failed. Donahue feigned insanity, but failed to make the plea good, and therefore he will follow the sock-making industry during the next five years of his life. Gillett came in from California some time ago with the army of northbound tramps, and. getting hard-pressed for ready money, decided to put his business college education to practical use. Secur ing the signature used by a Vancouver firm on its checks, Gillett made out a very clever imitation ami passed it in Portland on L. Helming. He pleaded that It was his first offense, but the court was not in a lenient mood at this instant, and the fellow will have three years in which to think it over. The check was for $25.50. LaMorra is an Italian with a tierce "black mustache, and the idea that he Is irresistible with the fair sex. He man aged to impress Airs. J. H. Myers with his personality to the extent that she left her home, and but Tom Kay cruelly end ?d the romance. Then Mrs. Myers, crav ing forgiveness, joined forces with her husband in prosecuting the tempter, and LaMorra will, as the result, be compelled to waste his charms on the unapprecia tlve interior of the county jail for and during the next year. MAKTIX FAILS TO PLEAD D isappol n t a La rge A u d ie nee Gathered- In Courtroom. Edward H Martin did not appear to nter his plea yesterday in the Circuit Court to the charge of having murdered Nathan WVlff. The plea was to have been entered at 2 o'clock yesterday after noon before Judge Gantenbein. but City Attorney Kavanaugh. who is acting tem porarily for the accused man, was unable to be present and the case was put over until Monday, much to the disappoint ment of a roomful of curious people. Public opinion seems to have under gone a change' as to Martin's guilt and many expressions are heard to the effect that he is Innocent. The authorities say, however, that if there ever was a cold blooded murderer, guilty beyond the pos sibility of any doubt, the same is Martin. Much that will not be available as evi dence gives those on the Inside of the case a stronger belief in the man's guilt t ban would be possible otherw ise. H is wife's story, freely given at the time of Martin's arrest, will not be available at the trial, and many circumstances of a most incriminating nature may be ruled out of court under the rules of evidence Whether Martin can be convicted is a matter which can only be guessed at, but if he is actually not guilty he Is the vic tim of the most remarkable set of cir cumstances that ever wove themselves wbout any man connected with a crime, the authorities say. COURT ACCEPTS RESIGNATION J. T Armstrong Succeeded by Miss Noon a Noon Estate Trustee. J. T. Armstrong's resignation as trustee !of the W. C. Noon estate was accepted by the Circuit Court yesterday forenoon, and Viola E. Noon, daughter of the deceased, , mas appointed to act In his stead. An ! order to this effect was issued by Judge (O'Day in response to petitions for the i acceptance of Mr. Armstrong's resigna t tion and Miss Noon's appointment. In the Noon will shares controlling the fCNoon Bag Company were left to H. M. &ak .and T. J. Aj7Ustro A jrus'.et io be held for a period of 10 years, the re ceipts to be delivered over to the various heirs. W. C. Noon, Jr., was also named as a trustee. Differences arose in regard to the handling of the company's affairs, and Cake and Noon withdrew. Mrs. Noon was then appointed a trustee, and later came Armstrong's resignation, accompa nied by an accounting of all money and property handled by him. This account ing was found satisfactory and was accepted. DEFENDS HIS POSITION Mr. Fletcher Favors $90,000 for the Oregon University. ST.' JOHN, Or.. May 16. (To the Edi tor.) I observe that C. N. McArthur -replied in The Oregonian of May 8 to my letter of May 2, In which I gave reasons why the $125,000 appropriation for the University of Oregon should not pass. Mr. McArthur makes an error when he says: "Mr. Fletcher charges the alumni of the university with subsidizing the newspapers." Now. what I did say was, "the general - belief is that they buy them." Whether . the reason for such a conclusion Is sufficiently strong as to justify that belief. 1 do not know. But I do say that there are many cir cumstances which would indicate that the public might not be entirely wrong. Mr. McArthur says that a majority of our citizens are beginning to see that this referendum movement was not begun in good faith. Just what he means by good faith" It is difficult to divine. But if he means there was any trickery about it. I am sure he is- in error. The Grange PORTLAND MAX OWNS RKI.IC OF THE MAYFLOWER. J? ':ftjf9(lto."'V.. ' -1- . . Kettle That Came Over With the Pilgrims. D. Hagen, of 166 Chapman street, is the owner of a kettle which was brought to America by one of the Pilgrims in the Mayflower. Mr. Hagen bought the kettle about a year ago in Minnesota. It was at that time the property of Mr. Hagen's neighbor, John Hone. It had been in the possession of Mr. Hone's family for generations, the original owner being one Cushman, a member of the Pil grims who landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620. thought the appropriation was "too large," the Governor thought It "exces sive" and the taxpayer considered he had a right to have a large "continuing" bur den submitted to him for rejection or ratification before it was everlastingly too late. And what was wrong about that? Where was the absence of "good faith"? Why did the university seek to deprive the people of this right? Because it was "afraid its defeat would give the state a black eye." How considerate! The very thing that would have placed Oregon on an eminence of its own the only thing that would have shown the world that the people of Oregon were men and rfot slaves. Mr. McArthur refers to the almost unanimous vote by which the bill passed both houses as proof that It was a wise measure. How about the bill that the Legislature passed at the same session compelling the railroads to give all the members passes? Was that a good meas ure? I am aware that when the univer sity, the normal schools and other kin dred institutions form a combine they can hold up any measure or pass any bill they desire, but herein lies the dan ger. Other members who have bills on other subjects which they wish to see become laws yield to this powerful ma chine, and vote the appropriations they demand in order to secure the passage of their own measures. This was how the $125,000 appropriation became a law. Mr. McArthur says that a "continuous appropriation can be amended or re pealed." I am aware of it, unless it comes up against the great educational combination. If ever the $125,000 appro priation is amended, it will be to increase it to a si,iU greater amount. And that is one of the strongest reasons why the taxpayers should kill it now, while they have the chance. I see by a letter from McArthur in the St. John Review that Messrs. Palmer, Meker and myself want to "kill the uni versity." So far as this charge applies to me. I deny it. I -am not only willing but anxious that the university should get a liberal appropriation, but I do not wish to see it "hog the whole thing." If it had got 'double its present allow ance, viz., $90,000, I would have not one word to say, for I suppose it must be maintained, since it has been built. But if this thing goes much further we may find, as General W. H. Odell. of Salem, says that as a matter of economy it would be less expensive to pay the traveling expenses and tuition for each of the would-be wards of the state for educational purposes in Harvard Univer sity or any of the great schools already established.

ELEIY IKES CARGO TO LA BOGA Norwegian Steamship Carries Lumber for Panama Will . Finish at Tacoma. STRATHGYLE ABOUT READY Grain Charters Slow at the "Present Time Nonunion Ships Offer for Old Crop at 2 2 Shillings and 6 Pence Marine News. The Norwegian steamship Hornelen, Captain Nilson, cleared yesterday for La Boca with a part cargo of lumber. She will proceed from Portland to Comox and thence to Tacoma, where she will complete her cargo. The Hornelen had on board 1,540.018 feet of timber, valued at $18,480. LaBoca is the government landing place at Ancon in the canal zone. Captain Francke, who was master of the steamship Dakota at the time she was wrecked in Japanese waters, haa signed as supercargo of the Hornelen. The British steamship Strathgyle fin ished loading late yesterday afternoon. 9he has on board close to 3,550,000 feet. The departure of the two steamships will bring the lumber exports up to a big figure for May. During the past week there has been little movement in wheat charters. The disengaged vessels in the harbor are all owned by members of the Association of Sallingship Owners and the rate demand ed for old-crop loading is 27 shillings and 6 pence. This is a greater rate than ex porters desire to pay at this time. A num ber of vessels have lately been taken for 22 shillings and 6 pence and offerings have been made for even a less figure than that. The Vendee and the Neck were se cured at that figure. Charters for new crop loading will be gin to move about the first of June. There are a number of craft available for Oc tober and November loading but shippers are holding back. The condition of the grain market is a little unsettled and it is too early to make an accurate forecast on the new season's crop. SEEK GOVERNMENT APPROVAL Port or Portland Resolutions to Be Sent to the War Department. Colonel S. W. Roessler, United States Engineer officer in charge of the local office, has forwarded a copy of the reso lutions passed by the Port of Portland Commission at the last meeting of the board relative to the speed of steam ves sels in the Willamette vRiver between Ross Island and the St. John bridge, to the War Department with a request that the resolutions be approved. Before the regulations can be properly enforced the approval of the War De partment is necessary. With a view to secure such approval. Colonel Roessler met with C. F. Swigert, of the Port . of Portland; Engineer Lock wood, of the same board, and Harbormaster Speier and the matter was thoroughly gone over. Mr. Swigert desired to have the law gov ern the speed of vessels between Portland and Astoria and the mouth of the Wil- BTEA.HEE INTELLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. Name. From. Data.

The State was greeted as an ojd friend by the waterfront people. She returned to Port land in the service of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company after an absence of several years. The State of California is owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and is under a short time charter to the Harriman line. for Coos Bay ports.

Don't put your next Winter's coal in your cellar at the present time. Coal that is carried through the hot Summer months is bound to deteriorate more or less, then when you come to usa it you are liable to condemn the quality. Freshly mined coal contains all the life and burning qualities and gives better satisfaction than coal that has been in the open air for months. Our mine is located close to the Columbia River, and coal mined today can be delivered in your home the day after tomorrow; so why buy a year's supply ahead f We have our own barges and our own steam boats, so are absolutely independent in the matter of transportation. Wat we will do, however, is this : We will send you a sample sack of coal weighing 100 pounds, from our Coal Creek Mine, charging you 50 cents. You try the coal, satisfy yourself as to its quality, and if you don 't like it we will give you your money back. If it suits you, then we will book your order at $6.00 per ton and agree to deliver to you freshly-mined, clean lump coal, in any quantity you want and at any time during the next 12 months. In this way you are protected against a raise in price, and have absolutely assured yourself that you will have all the coal you want, and when you want it. Try the coal and make your contracts now for your future needs. We guarantee the quality. Shares in Tiiis Company at Fifty Cents Each We are offering a limited amount of stock in the Coal Creek Coal & Mining Company at 50 cents pet share, payable 25 per cent down and 15 per cent monthly until paid for. The money de rived from the sale of the stock is to be used in opening up another vein of coal, which will more than double our present capacity, and to develop our wonderful water power and install a com plete .electric plant with which to operate the mine, run our trains and light our mine and village. We then are in position to produce coal at a minimum of cost, and with our water transportation can deliver coal to any city or town touched by the Columbia or Willamette Rivers cheaper than any mine on earth. Remember that no coal mine yet discovered in this section can lay claim to tha four distinct advantages which we claim for this one : " FIRST: An excellent quality of coal and millions of tons of it. SECOND: Coal Creek, crossing our domain of 2700 acres, with a fall of five hundred feet in two miles, ia capable of furnishing thousands of horsepower for equipping the plant with electricity. THIRD: Our own line of steamers and barges and the broad highway of the Columbia to haul it on. FOURTH: The names, of F. B. Jones, W. E. Jones and R. B. Rose furnish a sufficient guarantee that tha affairs of the compauy will be honestly and intelligently administered. AND FURTHER: To demonstrate to you our unbounded faith in this proposition, we will make the following proposition to all holders of our stock outside of our immediate official family: We will agree not to accept any interest or dividend on the investment that we have already made, which amounts to $50,000, until such time as the holders of this new issue of stock receive at least 10 per cent annually on their investment. It is against the law for any corporation organized on a stock basis to guarantee a specified amount of dividends, but our property earned 12 per cent last year on the money invested in it, and we know that it will earn at least that much this year, and we are willing to apply these earnings upon the new capital which we are interesting until such time as the new investment will start earning dividends on its own account. This is a very liberal proposition and virtually guarantees investors at least 10 per cent on their money the first year, with a reasonable assurance that in future years their money will earn from 15 per cent to 25 per cent annually. Call at either of our offices and see the coal and let us put you in the way of making a safe in vestment that will assure you permanent and regular dividends. The mine earned 12 per cent las-t year, and with our increased capacity and facilities for cheap mining should easily earn 20 to 25 per cent annually in the future. We have turned down two flattering bonafide offers for this property which meant a much higher valuation on stock we hold than "we are offering it to the pub lic for, but with the' sale would pass the control, and as we consider the property well worth a million dollars, we can afford to wait and dig it out ourselves and share it with the friends that join us. We would be glad to send any one interested to the mine so that they can see for them selves just what we have. This is a proposition that should appeal to large and small investors alike. It is so much different from the average mining investment offered to the public. It is a local enterprise, backed by local people, who have spent a lifetime in the community and stand high in the business world. You can go to the mine, and see for yourself and be convinced that every statement we make in connection with this property is really underestimated than otherwise. BoostDon't Knock There have been and will continue to be coal mining stocks offered to the public. Investigate them thoroughly, tben come and let us show you what we have to offer. The comparison will demonstrate to you the true merit of our proposition.' Other dealers will tell you our coal is no good. Don't believe them. Try it and see for yourself. We will save you many a dollar in your year's fuel bill.
