J JAIL LOOMS UP FOR LOAN SHARK Grand Jury ' Investigating "Gentlemen" Who Prey on Poverty Stricken. "NUISANCE" CHARGE MADE Pitiful Cases Come to Knowledge of Authorities During Qnlet Ins, ligation Slate Banks An Given Warning. Operations of loan sharks in Port land were mada the subject of Investi gation yesterday by the grand Jury, and nearly the whole afternoon was given to hearing the pitiful stories of victims of the money-lenders, of whom half a dosen were In waiting. While on the face of the statutes. no law Is seen which covers the acts of extortion with which these men are charged, a method of reaching them has been found by Deputy mstrict At torney Collier In the all-embracing "nuisance" statute, and It Is under this section of the code that the prose cutor will ask the jurors to return a true bill against one or more. Tbe act covers the cae or anyone wno snail Injure the person or property of an other,"" and provides a penalty of im prisonment from one to six monins or a fine of 150 to COO. Aroused by a series of exposures, cul minating In the particularly pitiful case of Oeorxe and Jane Tleraeyer. Instrlct Attorney Cameron announced several months ago that he - would proceed against the usurers, but pres sure of other business haa postponed the action until now. It was first In tended to proceed under a city com plaint, charging tbe keeping of a dis orderly house, on the strength of an Kastern decision that usury being In violation of. law. a place where usury was continuously carried on was a disorderly place. There was found to be no statute fitting with this decision, and the nuisance act was appealed to Instead. HeTelaMeaa Are fboefciaar. Beginning with a quiet Investiga tion by Attorney Roscoe P. Hunt, the operations of tba loan sharks have been uncovered within the past few months and shocking revelations of their methods have been brought out. In case after case It haa been shown that a poor working man. In a moment of pecuniary stress, has gone to one of these losn agents for a small sum. and has fallen deeper and deeper In the grip of debt until some have been driven to suicide or crime. In every case Investigated It was found that ample security had been exacted, either by assignment of salary or by chattel mortgage, but in default of both of these the money-lender still held tbe whip hand through default Judg ments, blackmailing collection agen cies att't supplemental proceedings In which the victim Is periodically forced to reveal every detail of his domestic affaire, to ensure that be is not con cealing assets which could be levied upon. Through the publication of rasa after rase much public Interest was aroused; plana which are still In prog ress were formed for the establish ment of a remedial loan company, sev eral large corporations took up the duty of making loans to their em ployes, and tbe city government made It a misdemeanor for any city em ploye to make an assignment of his salary. The state banking officials also became Interested and forced In corporated banks which were engaged In tbe shark business to discontinue It on pain of losing their status as banks. Complaints decreased and appeals to the courts to collect usurious claims became much rarer. The petty courts assisted by putting a check on the abuse of supplemental proceedings, and Justice Bell held In one case that a debtor could not waive the exemptions which acted as a protection to his family, thus depriving the loan agen cies of an advantage they had long en joyed. Tleaaeyer Caae le Pitiful. The case of Tlemeyer. who was be fore the Jury yesterday, is a parti cularly striking one. In a civil action now pending be charges that M. E. Schouwetler and Adolphus Lane, with offices In the Ablngton building, made a loan to him of tiu. and' that with the addition of $50 received later, his indebtedness amounted In a short time to i:0 6. He was led to this point through a series of transactions In which a number of new lenders ap peared, but he alleges that they are all men of straw. At one time every article of his furniture was removed, and ha and his wife slept on the floor until charitable neighbors succored them. Further evidence along the same line will be taken today.

Over at the Kmpress this week he's showing 'em how It's done at so much per show. He showed ma for nothing and the office boy and I got so agi tated we nearly collapsed. Imagine a regular man plain, yes. very plain man sfandlng In front of you telling you about the condition of political af fairs in Morocco or the price of to bacco In Slam: Then, with none of the usual hokey-pokey. preeto - chango movements, his neck begins to assume the graceful proportions of an ostrich that's swallowed a clock, while his shoulders begin to elongate. In frosen fascination I and the acared-to-death office boy watched the broad shoulders climb, a la bean stalk several feet or was It miles? tow eling over my head. Then he came down to earth. All of ns did for a min ute while Charlie Ryan explained how It was done. Mr. Ryaa Explains, Bat Charlie Is the best little explainer on earth about some things, but not at enlightening the general public how Wlllard lengthens his Joints. "We Just had to stand mildly by and absorb. In turn we watched Wlllard lengthen his arms H Inches. Oee! He'd be a g-r-a-n-d clerk. Couldn't he stretch out the ribbons lovely? He lengthens his legs, too, and. leaving the top of hla body normal, he resembles a huge, long-legged bird stalking about. 1 didn't ask him If he could lengthen his ears, but I'm sure he can. . ,e says It's easy. We all practiced It after he had gone away under the wing of the aforementioned Charlie Ryan. But no one could come within hailing distance of understanding how Wlllard "grows." Performance Set I'aesumay. It's not uncanny; It's only marvelous. Wlllard says be can't remember when he couldn't make himself , "grow" at wIlL When he was 7 he ran away from home and "secured a position" as gen eral bottle washer and mall carrier, camel leader and other bits of dignified labor connected with Bern urn at Bail ey's circus. For several years he affi liated with circuses. Then he took up toe study of hypnotism. At this juncture of Ma recital the office boy became panicky and asked In awe-struck tones If Wlllard could hypnotise him.

"Here's a remarkable thing that has very much impressed me: While I was in Canada on my present tour of the KmpreHs circuit I sent a postal card to my uncle, whom I had not seen since I was 7 years old and of whom. In fact. I had never heard one word In all that time. I had only the old home town address L Roy, N. T. Here now Is the really Interesting thing: That postal card reached my uncle, although he had moved from Le Roy over 1 years ago. If T knew where to reach Uncle Ham I'd send him a letter of per sonal thanks. Twelve years think of It! and those mail-service fellows back there traced him and gave him my postal a 1-cent postal with a 1 cent stamp on It. Very little profit, eh? Pstser Xever See. I.lrn.

COLONEL SCORES TAFT MEN Control Would Mean Party Ruin, Ohioans Are Told. COLUMBUS, Ohio. May li. President Taft's theory of constitutional govern ment, said Colonel Roosevelt here last night. Is that It Is a "government ad ministered by Messrs. Lortmer. Gug genheim. Barnes, Galllnger and their like, in defiance of the will of the people: that It Is a government under which the people sre defrauded of their rights by these men." The former President said Mr. Taft was mistaken In asserting thst ths success of the cause for which he stands now seems assured. Colonel Roosevelt began bis address by saying that he would receive the support of every Ohio Republican who wished to vote at the primaries for a progressive. "I came Into thla fight." be said, "only because It had become evident that unless I did so there was not the slightest chance of any progressive winning the Republican nomination. "Yesterday Mr. Taft said he believed he would win the nomination because he believed that the Chicago conven tion will be organized by the friends of constitutional government. 1 ask you to remember Just who these friends of constitutional government are upon whom -dr. Taft relies. They are his campaign manager. Mr. Mc Klnley; Mr. Lerlxncr, from Illinois; Mr. FORMAL CONTEST ABANDONED California District to Let Committee Act, on Snowing of Figures. SAN FRANCISCO. May IS. The Taft Republicans will make no formal con test for the two delegates they elected at the Presidential primaries In the Fourth Congressional District. After a meeting today of the executive com mittee. ex-Uovernor Gillette said: "We decided to send on to the Na tional committee a certified copy of the returns in the Fourth Congressional District and to let the committee act as It sees fit In the matter." The National committee Issued a call for delegates elected by districts, but the law of California specifies that all delegates must abide by the choice of the state at large. Acting under the law. Secretary of State Jordan refused to Issue to the Taft delegates In the Fourth District a certificate of elec tion. All he could give them, he said, waa a certificate of the vote cast. COLUMBUS' VOYAGE SHOWN Motion Plot are or Patriotic Value Presented at People's. No mo-e Interesting film from an ed ucational standpoint baa ever been seen than that depicting the voyage of Co lumbus to the New World, which waa shown Trldsy night for tbe first time at a special exhibition In the People's Theater, before members of the Censor Board, teachers and the press. The films give a pictorial review of the career of the great discoverer from the time of his entrance Into Spain, his re ception by the monks of La Rtblida and the beginning of his efforts to In duce the King and Queen to furnish an expedition, to the return from tbe long voyage. ( The scenes at the court are on a mag. nlflcent acale, costumes and furnish ings being entirely In keeping with the period. The earlier scenes on the bat tlefield of Grenada are full of action and romantic charm. The three ships used are exact reproductions of those presented to the United States by the Spanish government and exhibited at the Columbian Exhibition. The well known Incidents of the voyage and the landing are pictured with astonishing realts-n. The character of Columbus is por trayed by Charles Clary, an actor not unknown to Portland. He possesses a countenance capable of expressing the subtlest shades of feeling. The films are to be shown all next week at the Star Theater, beginning Sunday. They afford an exceptional opportunity to the atudent and the patriot. LA FOLLETTE IS CONFIDENT Wisconsin Man Says He Holds -Key to Presidential Nomination. BOWLINO GREEN. Kr May IS.

TAFT FIRES NEW GUN OHIOANS TOLD T. R. HAS SUP PORT OF BOSSES. President Delivers 14 Addresses Bringing In Karnes of Dan Hanna and Walter Brown. TOLEDO, O.. May 18. President Taft adopted yesterday new offensive tac tics against Colonel Theodore Roose velt. In nearly every one of his 14 speeches the President used sn argu ment of particular Interest to Ohio and to the northern part of the state, bringing In continually the names of Dan R. Hanna. of Cleveland, and Wal ter Brown, of Toledo, two leaders of the Roosevelt movement In this state. "I've got tired being lied about and being held op to the country as having violated every rule of conduct when I am not conscious that I have violated any." shouted President Taft here last night In a speech to a crowd that filled the Toledo Auditorium. "The memory of the names that Mr. Roosevelt has called me," said . the President, "still lingers In my ears. Since the time he began his personal attacks on me he has used all the epi thets be could think of. such as no President has ever been subjected to by a man who had two terms In that of fice." At Tiffin the President called Mr. Brown "the only boss now In active commission In the State of Ohio," and charged that Mr. Hanna. "with un limited wealth." waa allied with the special Interests, but yet was recog nized by Mr. Roosevelt as a patriot, not a boss. "I am not attacking Mr. Roosevelt because Mr. Brown supports him," said the President. "He Is Just like me and Just like any other person in politics. He takes the support of any man who comes to him without asking him for a certificate of character from the Young Men's Christian Association." Mr. Taft made the last speech of the day In Toledo. Speaking at Bellevue yesterday Mr. Taft declared that much of the support now being given Colonel Roosevelt In his tight for a rersTTilnatlon is coming from men Indicted by the Taft Admin istration. "To say that, because a man sup ports you. you are bound up with him, is to say something not Justified by the mere fact of his support If It were Justified thus. I could say that Mr Roosevelt ought not to get your votes, because all the Indicted people are sup porting him as they are or most of them."
