TV'. IT. Moore, president, Ms brother,
Henry Moore, and K. B. Lytle. directors
f the defunct Oregon Trust & Sav
ings Bank, were subpenaed yesterday
to give depositions before County Judgre
.Cleeton regarding the civil suits now
pending against them and other direc
tors of the defunct bank: to recover
sums alleged by Receiver Devlin never
to have been paid In. The three men
did not make their depositions because
of technicalities raised by opposing
. counsel.
In view of the proximity of the trial
of W. H. Moore, set for Tuesday on
the criminal calendar, his testimony
yesterday in civil proceedings weuld
have been interesting. He was saved
from being subjected to the probe of
Attorney A. B. Clark by the decision
of Judge Cleeton who ruled that ho
would not require Mr. Moore to testify
until after the criminal case had been
disposed of. Postponement of deposi
tions by the Moores was allowed on
the representation of Attorney Fulton,
their counsel, that It would work a
hardship on his clients if his services
were detracted from the preparation
of the defense of the criminal case, so
close at hand, to take up the civil case.
Judge Cleeton then set the date for
March 28.
This action was opposed by Attorney
Clark, representing the receivership,
who contended that Judge Cleeton was
not sitting judicially and that under
the statute he had no authority In the
case other than to hear the proceedings,
record the objections and certify to the
record of them to the Circuit Court.
Attorneys Fulton, Henry E. McGinn
and John II. Hall argued that as a con
stitutional right their clients ought
not to be compelled to give deposi
tions in a civil case which also was
criminal in character. Mr. Clark asked
to have his objections to the postpone
ment of the hearing appear in the rec
ord. He maintained that the only con
stitutional right a defendant might
claim was that he could not be required
to testify in anything which might
tend to incriminate him. and that In
these cases if there were any ques
tions asked of this character, the wit
ness might refuse to testify upon that
ground.
Mr. Clark said he had made every
effort to locate the corporate records
of the wrecked bank and could not
find any trace of them and that he
desired to ask some questions as to
what had become .of the minute book
of the bank.
Attorney Hall, representing Lytle, re
quested that the deposition of'hls client
also be postponed. This was refused
pending the settlement of the question
of whether it was a violation of a de
fendant's constitutional right to be
made to give a deposition prior to his
criminal trial. . Judge Cleeton allowed
until next Thursday for counsel to pre
pare its argument and a brief on the
question.
In deciding to postpone the deposi
tions of the Moores, Judge Cleeton
said that he had done so solely because
he did not want to tax their attorneys
too severely at a time when the crim
inal trial was at hand and not because
of any bearing the questions- asked
at the civil proceedings might have
upon the forthcoming criminal trial.
LOGGER STOLE IS CHARGE
Xurse Ivets Patient Have Money and
He Suddenly Leaves.

a month in this city. John A. McRae,

ment. The sriept was made upon the re
quest of Sheriff John V. Irrill, of
Humboldt County. California.
In a letter of explanation of the case

Chief of Police Cox. Sheriff Ferrill says
that McRae is accused of stealing $225
from a nurse in Bureka. He was brought
Into that city from a logging camp with
a broken leg and without funds. A nurse
who befriended him and waited upon
him for a number of weeks permitted
him to have her money to place in the
bank. He took the money and left town

W. C. T. U. MEMBERS ACTIVE
State Executive Board Plans Cam
paign for Coming Election.
The "Woman's Christian Temperance.
Union state executive board met last
Tuesday and Wednesday and discussed
plans for future effort. The reports
from the members were optimistic and
all predicted good results for the coming
Boason'c work.
. The meeting began with an executive
session and ended with an oratorical and
muwlcal contest for prizes. An enthu
siastic addreps was given by Mrs. Eva
C. Wheeler in which fhe, outlined plans
for the year. The society decided to enter
heart and soul into the campaign for a
"dry" Oregon.
An enthusiastic meeting of the cam
paign committee representing the three
W. C. T. U. societies was held Thurs
day night at the W. C. T. U. head
quarters. Definite plans were made for
the temperance campaign thte Summer.
GIRL'S COURAGE FAILS HER
l nder . Contract to Appear in Nude
She Balks at Display.
Having signed a contract to appear
in the nude, painted over with a bronze
'solution, and losing courage when the
time came to do so, and being dis
charged for failure to live up to her
contract, is the basis of a suit which
was commenced yesterday In the Jus
tice court by Josephine Collins, a
voting woman whose home Is in Ta-
coma, against P. E. Taoli, a. vaudeville
man.
Taoli has a small company- which
presents living pictures and appeared
during the past week at Pantages.
"The Nymphs" and other classic paint
ings are reproduced. In her contract
Miss Collins agre.ed to appear in the
nude paintel over with a bronze solu
tion giving a life-Uke representation
of bronze in statuary. When she ar
rived in Portland last Monday and was
ordered to appear according to con
tract her courage failed her and she
refused. She was promptly discharged
and has brought suit for $200 damages
against the vaudeville man. Miss Col
ins displayed her contract at the of
fice of the Justice Court and showed
that it called for appearance in the
nude. This gave reason for the local
authorities to watch the performances
given at Pantages for the purpose of
detecting whether any of the perform
ers were appearing In the nude, but it
was found that there was nothing of
fensive in the representations.

LOCAL FIRM WINS BIG JOB
Public Works Engineer Company to
Build El Paso Incinerator.
Fred P. Smith, chief engineer of the
Public Works Engineering Company of
this city, returned yesterday from El
Paso, Tex., where he signed a contract
with the municipal authorities for $10,000
to prepare plana for a garbage incin
erator and sewage disposal plants for
which $100,000 of bonds were voted re
cently in that city. The proposed incin
erator plant is to have a capacity of 40
tons daily.
While in El Paso, Mr. Smith, on behalf
of the company he represents, deposited
a bond for $20,000 by the terms of which
the Portland concern agrees, with open
competition, to construct the two plants
within the appropriation that has been
provided by the bond issue. The local
company is employed as engineers to
succeed Herring & Fuller, a New York

the. bids for which were rejected re
cently. On his return from Texas, Mr. Smith

SERVICE IS POPULAR
Public Takes Readily to Night
Letter Messages. -
LARGER FORCE IS NEEDED
Telegraph Companies Find They
May Have to Make Number of
Night Operators Equal to Day
Force Increase Is Great.
Although in effect only since March
7, the new plan of the Western Union
and Postal Telegraph Companies of ac
cepting "night letters" from individuals
at- what is practically the press rate
paid by newspapers promises to deluge
the companies with business. ,
In Portland there Is every indica
tion that the Western Union office
will be compelled to increase Its night
force of operators to the same number
working during the day. This will
mean the addition of about three oper
ators. From other portions of the
country has come the intimation that
the company will have to enlarge Its
plant by the addition of many wires.
At the Postal Telegraph offices,
where the force of operators Is not
so large, comparatively equal increases
in the number of employes are prob
able. Under the terms of the "night let
ter" plan a patron of the company may
now send, at night, messages "of 50
words to any part of the country
reached by the company's wires at a
rate equivalent to the day rate for
ten words. Additional words above
SO ' are received at a charge of one
fifth of the day rate for each ten
words.
Messages Go at Cent a Word.
For instance, the day rate from Port
land to San Francisco for 10 words Is
50 cents. At night, messages of 50
words may be sent for 50 cents, with
a charge of 10 cents for each ten words
more than 50. In this Instance the rate
is actually one cent a word.
"Night letters" are called for and
delivered the same as day messages,
except that they are not delivered at
destination until the following morning
and may be sent collect. The "night
letters" are received up to midnight.
One restriction placed on them, how
ever, is that they shall not be in code
words or In foreign languages.
The way people are making service
of the new plan Is illustrated bv the
records of the Portland Western Union
office. On the first day the new
"night letter" rates went -Into effect
the Portland office took In 35 "night
letters" over the counter. The follow
ing day the number Jumped to 45; on
the third day ta 90. and on the fourth
day to 150. Last night the number of
messages went up to 250. W. A. Robb,
manager of the Portland office, esti
mates that Portland will send out an
average of 1000 night letters daily
after the new plan becomes thoroughly
understood by the public.
Night Force to Be Increased.
The day force of operators in the of
fice is now 40 to 45 and the night
force 15. Mr. Robb believes that It
will be necessary to make the night
force equivalent to the day force or
practically to treble it in numbers. So
far there Is no Indication that the
en -is w
jonicthing r
To every child who brings us
a prospect or a party to whom
we can sell a piano, we will give
a handsome Gold Watch. This
handsome offer we make to all
children, and is good for thirty
days, from March 15th to April
15th. Now get busy, boys and
girls, and get a fine watch.
Gome to our store and we will
explain our liberal offer. These
.
beautiful watches can be se'en
V
in our window.
USE &?
wires of the company will have to be
Increased in the Northwest. Compared
with the day hours the night wires of
the company have been largely Idle in
the past and are capable of carrying,
an enormous business.
Reports received as to how the plan
is working out also show that the
class of business secured under the
low night rate Is new business. That
Is, it is not taking the place of the
short day messages, but of letters that
otherwise would have gone by mail.
The "night letters," it is apparent,
wHl displace to some extent code mes
sages, particularly that class of the
latter - sent in code not to preserve
secrecy so much as to eliminate ex
pense. Codes have been invented in
which, one word means a whole sen
tence and persons and firms using the
telegraph to large extent resort to
these codes. A new order went into
effect concerning codes last December,
however, which prohibits the use of
words that are a jumble of letters if
the, letters are more than five to the
word.
Code Messages Curtailed.
This order was made because of the
many inaccuracies that occurred in the
transmission of messages made up of
long code words. , Many codes, how
ever, contained words of ten letters
and if is probable now that the users
of them will resort largely to the
"night letters."
In addition to increases in operating
forces, increases in the number of
clerks and messengers is also in pros
pect. Clerks In the Portland offices
are already working overtime checking
over the night messages at the count
ers. The increase In messengers, how
ever, will not be so great, inasmuch as
the messages are not to be delivered
until morning and by the time the day
force of messengers reports for duty
the office knows just how many mes
sages are to be delivered. This is an
advantage in apportioning the work
that does not exist later In the day.
Credit System Kxtended.
The telegraph companies have also
recently issued another order which
authorizes the acceptance of messages
by telephone from persons who are
telephone customers and the presenta
tion of monthly bills for messages so
received. In other words, any person
who Is a regular subscriber to one
of the Portland telephone companies Is
considered worthy of credit at the
telegraph offices. He may telephone
prepaid messages to the telegraph of
fice and by giving his telephone num
ber may have bills for such messages
presented to him monthly, provided his
patronage of the wires is sufficient
to warrant the opening of a regular
account. Occasional users of the wire
may telephone messages from their
own homes or offices and have the
bill tendered at the companies' convenience.

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertion or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dynpepala
Tablets Sent Free.
Don't blame your , stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do its work,
it is because it cannot.
When foul-smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches and
the sourness of mouth every morning
makes you hate your breakfast, when
dreams and nightmares assail you,
don't give up the fight.
This is the appeal ot nature, and it
should be heard.
Over-eating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and un
derdone cooking are some of the
causes of the stomach's ill health.
. When the stomach is busy, it presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid, form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the Juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system. 0
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
a full meal easily without material
assistance from the stomach. They will
restock the gastric fluid with all the
elements needed. They build up the
blood, destroy sour taste, bad breath,
belching, "stomach and bowel trouble
and quickly restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets will digest 3000 grains of food in
the stomach or in a glass vial without
aid of the human digestive apparatus.
The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the methods of Nature. .
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and ingestion. After a meal
one of these little tablets when it en
ters the stomach mingles with the
juices, attacks the food and digests it.
It removes the fermented and decayed
mass, lying stagnant there and eases
the stomach at once.
It is wholly a question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets 50c the box,
or send us your name and address and
we will send you a trial package free.
