THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. JUNE 21,' 1905.
DECIDE MOTION
FOR DISMISSAL
Judge Wolverton to Pass Upon
Indictment of Land Office
Receiver Booth.
JURY TO REPORT FOR DUTY
Arguments to Dismiss Indictment
Argued arid Decision Is Reserved
Till . Tomorrow Judge Hunt
Denied Motion Once Before.
At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternono United
States Judge Wolverton will decide the
motion for a dismissal at the Indict
ment against J. H. Booth, ex-receiver of
the Roseburg Land Office. Booth is
charged with accepting a bribe while In
the Government's employ. If the motion
la denied, a similar motion previously
having been refused by Judge Hunt, the
trial of Booth will be taken up in the
United States Court immediately, having
bwn set for Monday, June 22. The reg
ular venire of Jurymen has been sum
moned to report for service tomorrow
afternoon, when the pending Oregon
land-fraud cases are scheduled to be
taken up for trial. The indictment
against Booth is the (list case to be tried.
The motion to dismiss the Indictment
against Booth was argutd yesterday be
fore Judge Wolverton by Judge L. R.
Webster, counsel for Booth, who. in the
probable trial of the case, will be as
sisted by D. J. Malarkey, of this city,
and A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene. At the
argument yesterday Judge Tracy C.
Becker, special assistant to the United
States Attorney-General, appeared for
'the Government.
Statute That Convicted Mitchell.
Booth was Indicted under Section 1872
of the Federal statutes, the same section
under which Senators Mitchell, of this
state, and Burton, of Kansas, were con
victed. This section prohibits a Gov
ernment officer from receiving or agree
ing to receive compensation for services
rendered or to be rendered in relation to
any proceeding or matter in which the
United States is a party or is indirectly
or directly interested before any depart
ment, bureau or office. The indictment
charges that Booth, as receiver of the
Land Office at Roseburg. agreed to give
advance information to F. A. Ivrios that
the Commissioner of the General Land
Office at Washington had decided that
certain lands from time to time were
open to settlement. In advance of giving
his information to other persons.
Counsel for Booth contended that, in
asmuch as the decision of the Commis
sioner of the General Land Office was
complete when it was rendered and might
have been and probably was telegraphed
or brought to the notice of the public
or private individuals, nothing remained
to be done at the local Land Office by
Booth before this information might be
given out.
Decision Is Reserved.
It was further contended by the de
fense that the service, if rendered, was
rendered in his own office and before
himself, whereas the statute contemplates
service rendered before some other- de
partment or office and intended to in
fluence its action.
Judge Becker, for the Government,
maintained that all matters relating to
lands In the Roseburg district had to pass
through the Roseburg Iand Office, and
that the decisions and filing of the Gen
eral Land Office were not finally effec
tual until thvy were communicated to
the officer of the local Land Office and
entered on his hooks when the lands in
volved should te thrown open to all of
the public alike. That in giving special
Information to any individual on any sub
ject thajt was still pending in his office.
Booth violated the statute. Judge Becker
pointed out. and that the same questions
raised by the defense at this time had
been presented to Judge Hunt, who had
decided that they were not . available.
Judge Wolverton reserved his uccision
on the motion until 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. '
EIGHT MEX AltE INDICTED
Federal Grand Jury Finishes Work
and Is Discharged.
Eight additional indictments, charging
miscellaneous offenses against the Gov
ernment, were Included In the final re
port to United States Judge Wolverton
by 'the Federal grand jury, which was
discharged yesterday. The members of
the jury were in cession 27 days, exam
ined about 26") witnesses and returned 2S
Indictments. None of the eight indict
ments returned yesterday was released
for the reason that the various defend
ants had not been apprehended. Bench
warrants have been Issued for all of the
defendants.- and when these have been
served tlio Jdentity of the accused and
the character of the charges that have
been preferred will ba made known.
While many of the Indictments have
been withheld from publication, the in
dictment of several prominent Umatilla
citizens, including J. H. Raley and Will
iam Slueher and a dozen others, on a
charge of conspiring to defraud the Gov
ernment out of about 30,000 acres of In
dian lands In Umatilla County, Is be
lieved to be the most important work ac
complished by the jurors. There were
the usual number of indictments charg
ing improper uss of the United States
malls.
In excusing the jury Judge Wolver
ton complimented tta members for their
faithful and conscientious labors. The
paet month also proved a strenuous one
for United States Attorney McCourt and
his assistant. Walter H. Evans, who pre
sented to the Jury all of the evidence on
which the indictments were returned.
INDICT BAKER CITY BANKER
J. II. Parker Charged With Perjury
to Get Mining Claim.
j. H. Parker, vice-president of the
First National Bank, of Baker City,
was among the persons indicted by tne
Fedeial grand jury, which concluded
its labors and adjourned yesterday.
Parker was Indicted for perjury, al
leged to have been committed in seek
ing to ret possession of a valuable
mining claim in Baker County. Fred
Wunder, of that county, was the com
plaining witness against Parker when
the case was investigated by the grand
jury. Wunder testified that Parker
undertook to beat Wunder out of a
promising mining claim, on which he
had filed by swearing that there were
no improvements on the claim as re
quired by law. Wunder further charged
that Parker afterwards filed on the
land himself. Parker was arrested at
Baker City and gave a bond for $3000
to insure his appearance for trial in
the United States Court.
PETER AS OBJECT LESSON
Dr. Klley Holds Out' Hope to Church
Backsliders."
A large audience was present at the
White Temple Friday night to hear Dr.
Riley's sermon on "Peter or Portland
Backsliders." Evangelistic services in
June are very unusual but the attend
ance is good and much Interest is being
manifested. Under Malcom C. Martin's
leadership, the large chorus choir is
proving to be e. feature of the services.
On Sunday. Dr. Riley will preach three
times. At 10:30 A. M. on "Obedience and
Its Blessing." at 3:30 P. M., at a young
people's service, on "Mutual Confes
sions," and. -at 7:45 P. M., on "A Fool
Farmer."
Last night he took for the basis of his
sermon the incident of Peter following
Christ afar off. He took occasion to say,
by way of introduction, that Peter was a
consolation to many men. Cowards are
encouraged by the memory of Peter's
recovery, the speaker said, and the more
courageous are inspired by his greater
enthusiasm. Continuing he said:
Peter was out of communion ith Christ,
tie was disappointed that Jesus would nut
defend himself against hie encniw and in
stead of going to the cross create a crown.
No man knows whether his religion Is genu
ine until he has suffered disappointment
until his ways and the divine ways have
parted. Then the man without Christianity
will complain. The true christian wlli only
say. "Thy will, not mine, be' donj." Being
out of communion he fell into evil com
pany. The crowd In the porch of the high
priest was made up of the sort o people
with whom an apostle should And no fellow
ship. The old Scotch woman put it cor
rectly when she said: "But Teter had nae
business with the nunkej-a."
Peter's third step was unto cowardice.
Having once lost his hope in Jus. a little
maid could sneer him into fear, and a
second one could secure from him a denial
of Christ. There are quite a few folks
who. Peter-like, boast in the day of no
battle and run when the fight is on. When
such an Irish soldier was taken to account
by his superior officer he answered. "I
have as brave a heart as ever bate in the
breast of Julius Caesar but me cowardly
legs will run away with it." And yet just
because Peter is a Christian, he is not iost
Genuine repentance takes possession of him
and God recovers him and makes him the
great power of the Day of Pentecost and
one of the greatest apostles in all -the cen
turies. For backsliders there Is .hope.
SPEAKS ON NEW LANGUAGE
Professor McDonald Says Esperanto
Is Becoming Firmly Established.
At the regular meeting of the Academy
of Sciences held last night in the City
Hall. Professor Charlese J. McDonald de
livered an address on the new language
known as Esperanto.
Professor McDonald, in his opening re
marks, gave a brief sketch of Dr. Zamen
hof. the inventor of the new language,
and the circumstances under which he
undertook to develop the same. The
practicability of Esperanto .was shown by
the fact that it Is now established in
40 nations. It was also shown that over
a hundred magazines written in Esper
anto are in circulation at the present
time. In the United States alone there
are over 60 clubs and societies of Es
perantlsts. with Boston as headquarters.
A National congress wiir-ln July of this
year be held at Chautauqua. New York,
and an International congress in Berlin
in August.
Professor McDonald expressed the be
lief that the new language is destined
to bring the nations of the earth Into
closer relations and to lead them to rec
ognize the common brotherhood of man.
the common fatherhood of Uod. and, to
a large extent, eradicate many of the
absurd national prejudices which have
been detrimental to the race.

WEI! OUT ON BAIL
Fanatics Come to Rescue of
Their Comrade.
RELEASE THEN FOLLOWS
Charges Will Be Pressed Against
Special orricer Who Shot Two
Youths at Campmecting
Friday Sight.
; After the occurrence of Friday night.
In which two young men were shot by
A. C. Walker, followers of the Tongues
of Fire, as preached by John Glasgow, a
negro, bestirred themselves yesterday
morning to devise means of rescuing
their comrade, who is also a special offi
cer. Walker had done the shooting the
night before, wounding Stanley C. Ward
and Otto Dunn. As a result of his In
discretion, the pious policeman was In
the City Jail in default of ball, awaiting
trial on the charge of "assault with a
dangerous weapon."
It was persecution, the congregation
said, and they declared his release must
be secured at any cost. Glasgow an
nounced that the goods and chattels of
his fellow-fanatics must be sacrificed
to procure the reletise of the defender of
the faith.
Meanwhile others from the Mount Ta
bor campmeetlrg had gone down Into the
city and appeared solicitously at police
headquarters. They declared there that
Mayor Lane had told them to shoot at
any one who disturbed their meetings
when he made them special officers.
Mayor Lane declares that he told them
merely to defend themselves and pre
serve order.
When the delegation from down town
returned with the Information that
Walkdr's release could be procured for
the cash bond of JS00, there was great
joy. Glasgow's dusky hand had alreaSy
gathered that sum together, and the
delegation was hurried back down town
with that amount.
So before 11 o'clock yesterday morning
Walker had been released from custody,
and. still bearing his badge as special
officer, was on duty during the day and
last night. To his people he is as a
martyr and a hero.
Young Ward and Dunn are under the
care of a surgeon, who is earing for
their wounds, and both will probably es
cape serious results. However, it Is like
ly that the prosecution of Walker will be
vigorously conducted.
Last night there were large crowds at
the campmeeting. but no hostile demon
strations occurred on the part of the
spectators or the worshipers.

LIXX COUNTY SETTLERS IX AX-
XCAI RECXIOX.
Seven Thousand People Gather at
Brownsville Officers or Asso
ciation Are Elected.
BROWNSVILXuH. Or.. June 20. (Spe
cial.) Yesterday crosed another success
ful and enjoyable reunion of the pioneers
of Linn County. The 20th annual picnic
brought many old settlers and their
friends together.
While the weather was disagreeable,
the rain interfering somewhat with the
arrangements for the three day's celebra
tion, it apparently did not mar to any
great extent the pleasure of the event,
for the people came in great numbers from
all over Unn County and from distant
parts of the state, and even some from
Washington, Idaho and California.
The announcement of the dates for this
annual celebration is a signal for the chil
dren of the pioneers, who have left tha
old homestead, and settled elsewhere, to
prepare to visit the old folks at home, and
many are the wrinkled faces that are
brightened by the homecoming of the
boys, and girls. ' - -
The annual reunion of the pioneers of
L.lnn County is the event in the Upper
Willamette Valley, for a visit to Browns
ville at this season of the year insures a
pleasant time and a feast of good things.
Wednesday, probably 3000 people at
tended, and Thursday the crowd was
between 7000 and 8000. Governor George
K. Chamberlain delivered the annual ad
dress. The other features of the pro
gramme throughout the day were highly
enjoyable. Friday, which is known as
sons and daughters' day, brought another
big crowd, but not so large as on tb
previous day. Judge P. Harris, of
Kugene, delivered the annual address. It
was a masterly effort.
Hon. W. A. Templeton was elected pres
ident of the association for the ensuing
year and W. T. Cochran, secretary. O. P.
Cesbom, who has served the association
as secretary almost continuously .since
the organization, refused re-election be
cause of poor health. To him credit Is
given for the success that these gather
ings have attained.
Notable among the pioneers in at
tendance were Captain James Blakley,' of
Brownsville, the oldest person In Linn
County, nearly 96 years of age and still
hale and hearty, and Cyrus H. Walker,
of Albany, born In Oregon in 1S38.
FAITH AND . HEALING.
Christian Scientist . Takes Dr.
Lapham to Task for Criticism.-
NEWPORT. Or., ; June IS. T6 the
Editor.) I regret to read such ''rot"
as Dr. Lapham has uttered in his pul
pit, as argument against Christian Sci
ence. He even claims to have, read
"Science and Health." But has he?
Mrs. Eddy a free-lover? For shame to
hint at such a clilng.
From "Marriage." In "Science and
Health." let me give a few quotations
for the enlightenment of some people:
"Marriage is the legal and moral pro
vision for generation among' human
kind. Infidelity - to the mar
riage covenant is the social scourge of
all races, the pestilence that walketh
In darkness' 'the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.' The command
ment, 'Thou Shalt not commit adultery'
Is no less Imperative than the one,
'Thou shale not kill.' ' Chastity Is the
cement of civilization and - progress.
Without It there is no stability in so
ciety, and without It one cannot at
tain the Science of Life. Mat
rimony should never be entered into
without a full recognition of its endur
ing obligations on both sides. The
nuptial vow should never be annulled,
so long as Its moral obligations are
kept intact."
This breathes purity and no hint of
free love.
Christian Science Is a mighty relig
ious movement. Its followers are num
bered by tens of thousands. Its church
history Is comparatively clean. Its
practitioners number millions of suf
ferers as healed. Within the shadow
of Portland a woman lives who was
operated on by surgeons for cancer, and
who was healed of this dread disease
by a Christian Science practitioner.
After three years she still counts her
self as whole. Grippe and neuralgia
have been healed in two days. Truly
these followers have evidence of the
righteousness of their cause, in that
the fruits of their labors are to be
seen. No one should deny the promises
or fight a righteous cause until he, too,
"can do the works," as promised to
them who believe. 1. L. H.

Believes AVallun Is Innocent.
PORTI.AN-D. June 20. (To the Editor.)
In The Oreponlan Issue of this morning you
have an Ittm on tr. Jury In th CharVa W.
Walton case. Just tried in the Circuit Court,
and state "A the trsrtimony as to Walton's
guilt naff overwhelming, his statement that
he is innocent standing aione against not
only th oath of at least Ave men. but thr
polire icord of the money found on his
person after his arrest. It was thought that
the Jury would bring in a verdict of con
viction. The Jurors are said fo have taken
into consideration ihe three years which Wal
ton served in the penitentiary after hi first
trial and conviction, the fact that Policeman
Ne'aon recovered from the gunshot woiaadit
ir.nicted by Walton and that the money ato.en
by Walton from the conductor was returned
to the streetcar company. They are also said
to have looked with favor on Us talent as
a nvialcian and to have thought ha should
be given a chance to reform."
Now. I do not know where your reporter
ol-tained this Information. He certainty did
not from the testimony In the case, nor from
the deliberations of the Jury, for there could
not possibly be a more absolute miestatement
of the f-iote and a greater perversion of the
truth. For rot one of ther-i atatemeot Is
true. The Jury, and not one of the Jury,
entertained any such opinion as stated, nor
did the Jury take Into consideration either
one of them, bui the Jurrs who voted for the
acquittal of the boy did so -solely on the
ground that they did not believe the atory
told by the witnesses for the atate. and thar
ha was tha victim of circumstances mich aa
ought to enlist the sympathy of every true
minded person in the community: that he Is
not the person who either robbed the con
ductor on the car or shot the policeman, anl
it was upon these grounds that the aix
Jurors acted and caused thm to vote In the
Interest of Justice for the acquittal of this
oung man.
