Ben Reltman, by Acting Municipal Judge Btadter yester day morning, upon their conviction on a charge of distributing pamphlets out lining methods of birth control during the series of Emma Goldman's meetings In Portland. The municipal courtroom was crowded to the doors during the trial by sympa thisers and those brought by morbid curiosity.

Wood appeared for tha defense and scored the City ot Portland for lt action In arresting Rett men and Mrs. Goldman. He charac terised Portland ss an "Anthony Corn stock" snd an old "Madame Grundy." and declared that the trial waa a prostitution of Justice and that the city had been disgraced by the action. In hla testimony. Reltmaa personally took the responsibility for passing the pamphlet around among the few per sons In the audience who received It. Kmma Goldman said that she knew nothing of the distribution ot the birth control pamphlet and would have objected- bad ahe known, as she desired to take all responsibility for any In formation given out at her meeting The specific offense alleged took placs on Tuesdsy night when Mrs. Goldmsi waa speaking on "Frledrlch Nletsacha the Intellectual tftorm Center of Europe." Reitman affirmed this testimony, but said that it waa part of bis work to pasa about the literature, aside from bis duties aa business associate and manager for Emma Goldman. Reltmaa maintained that they were anarchistic propagandists, but that he alone took the responsibility of ad vancing other Ideas and theories.

A medal of honor that had been awarded by the Humane Society of Massachusetts tc . William Whltcomb for bravery in rescuing the crew of the schooner M. L. Hall, on August 20, 18E6, was found several weeks ago in Portland by ur. a. w. iiegeie. No clew to the whereabouts of the possessor could be found and Dr. Hegele finally addressed the Massa chusetts Humane Society in Boston. All of the society's records were lost In the "Boston Fire" and the reply re ceived from Secretary Ellery H. Clark says that only the bare facts of the rescue for which the medal was award ed were obtainable and but slight in formation as to the possible where abouts to 'the present owner could be suggested. Medals were awarded to five men who participated in the rescue, among them Harvey and William Whltcomb, of Scltuate. William later moved to Kansas. He had five children, but they cannot be traced. A niece of William Whltcomb, named Mrs. J. Q. A. Merritt. is living in Scltuate and signified a desire to have the medal If Dr. Hegele could not find any of the children of her uncle living. The medal Is of silver bearing a rescue scene In relief on one fce. On the other side is inscribed: "Honor the reward of merit, courage anil perse verance. William Whltcomb, for gal lant conduct in rescuing the master and crew of the schooner M. L. Hall, oft the Glades House. August 20, 1856." CONSUL'S SON-IN-LAW HERO Severln Harkson.

' Mr. Harkson was rowing " at the mouth of the Kecanlcum River, when he heard cries from out in the break ers. He rowed into ana tnrougn tne breakers, and found two little boys, the eldest 10 years old, clinging des perately to an overturned rowboat. The youngsters had thought to follow the example of some older boys and ride the breakers In their rowboat The waves overturned their boat, and they were In dangerous plight. Mr.. Harkson, at the risk of his own life, got the lads into his boat and rowed them safely through the break ers. In the act. his boat was half filled with water and nearly sank. LABOR REFUSES TO JOIN COUNCIL WILL HAVE NO PART IN HIGHWAY CELEBRATION. Speakers Criticise Mr. Benson and Mr. Veon and Day of Event In spires Bitter Attack. Ruthlessly criticising the- Columbia Highway as a "disgrace," J. V. Hlbbs, of the Carpenters' Union, one of the delegates to the Central Labor Council, Friday night. In weekly session, stoutly spoke against a motion that was placed before the Council for that body to ac cept the Invitation of the Portland Ad Club to aid in the celebration and in spection of the highway on Labor day. Vilification of both S. Benson and J. B. Teon was Indulged in by Frank Hanson and others of the Council, and after a discussion lasting nearly an hour it was decided that the Central Labor Council would not participate In the celebra tion. In speaking of the Invitation hat he had received from the Ad Club as the president of the Central Labor Council, Eugene E. Smith said: "I was invited by one of the committee from the Ad Club that has the celebration in charge, and the reason assigned for the celebration was that they wanted to make the people of Portland better acquainted with what they believed to be an asset to the city and county, The real reason for the celebration, I do not know, for I am not in their con fidence. The Portland Ad Club may be innocent parties and the celebration may have been initiated by others who have ulterior motives." G. A. Van Schriltz, one of the dele gates, said that he believed that tne Labor Council should not think of ac cepting the Invitation. The fact that the Ad Club celebra tion comes on Labor day elicited pos itive expressions of disapproval ot the Council's entertaining any thought of acceptance. "1 will not stand for Labor aay Be ing exploited for such an affair." said William McKenzie. "Labor day Is our day, and should not be desecrated In such a manner," said others. After similar sentiments had been ex- preased by other delegates. Vlce- Presldent Jones said: "It is foolish for us to refuse to have anything to do with such men as belong to the Port land Ad Club. We have been trimmed, but if we can't take a trimming we can never win a victory. I think wo ought to be there and be represented. At no time has the Central Labor Council been opposed to good commercial roads. It is the plan and the method only that we oppose." As a result of their refusal . to join the Portland Ad Club in the celebration on Labor day a committee was ap pointed on motion to prepare some sort of entertainment for the members of the Council for that day. nothing hav ing been previously arranged.
