Ban Pending Appeal.
Fines of llOo each were levied upon
Emma Goldman, the anarchist lecturer,
and her manager. lr. 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. An audible wave ot dis
appointment swept the room when
Deputy City Attorney I- E. Latourette
declined to read aloud the offending
pamphlet.
Colonel C E 8. 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.
After finding the pair guilty MunK
clpsl Judge Stadter fixed a bond of
ti each, allowing appeal to the Cir
cuit Court. This was furnished at once
out of the f4o cash ball of Emma
Goldman.
Deputy City Attorney Latourette said
that the city did not know the nature
of the circular until late Friday. The
pair were arrested while the woman
was speaking at Turn Hall. Fourth and
Yamhill streets. Friday night. Colonel
C. K. ti- Wood furnlrhed ball for the
Goldman woman, but Reltmaa spent
the night In Jail.
Among the witnesses that appeared
for the defense were: H. C Utboff.
president of the Birth Control League:
Mrs. Flora Forman. the school teacher
who waa dismissed la Qulncy. Or., last
year because of socialistic teachings:
Mrs. M. T. Oatman. Mrs. H. K. Black
and Mrs. Paulina B. C tfoinmers.
Track Permit Approved.
The Commission of Public Docks has
approved the grantinr of I revocsble
permit to the Terminal Company for
the putting In of a track connecting
with the present track at Front and
Seventeenth streets and running to the
municipal dock No. 1. The matter came
t.n afore the City Council some time
sgo and was referred tc the Coaimis-lf
.Inn of Public Docks.
& nlan that will enable the Govern
mit ta nrovlde substantial aid. to
actual settlers on public lands Is pro
vided In a draft of a proposea v-on-gresslonal
enactment. Just completed
by IL 1L bchwarta. an attorney of
Portland.
Incidentally tha measure would go
far toward solving tha perplexing prob
lema gTowlng out ot the Supreme
Court's recent decision In tha Oregon
at California land-grant case, thinks
Mr. Schwartx. ,
One of tha Important provisions of
tho bUl la that It authorUes the Presi
dent to establish settlement districts
oa tha public lands. Including the
lands within tha forest reserves.
While this la proposed as a general
statute. It makes specifio provision for
the eettlement of the Oregon Cali
fornia grant lands by designating this
property as "Settlement District No. 1."
Recerrmhlsi Power Provided,
Tha present owners of these grant
lands will be required. If Mr. Schwartx'
proposal becomes a law. to file with
tba Secretary of the Interior deeds of
reconveyance to the United States of
all their unsold lands, and the Treas
urer of the United States will be re
quired to remit them at the rate of
13.69 an acre. In accordance with the
court's decision fixing this sum aa the
legal equity of tho railroad owners In
the property. In the event the rail
roads fall to file such deeds, the Gov
ernment would have power to seek the
appointment of receivers to take pos
session. tit Is Intended then to dispose of the
land to actual settlers under terms and
conditions usually governing in such
cases.
Any settler. It Is prescribed, may be
entitled to make reasonable use of tim
ber from his farm unit for fuel and
for the permanent Improvement of his
place, but all tho standing valuable
merchantable timber and growing tim
ber within a settlement district shall
remain the property of the United
States, to be sold under tho direction
of tbe Government.
10-Year Time Limit la Set.
But It Is further provided that any
Umber not removed from the land
Ithln ten years after data of sale
shall pass Into possession of the set
tler actually owning tbe property at
the end of tha ten-year period.
All money received" for land sold
under the provisions of tbe act would
be deposited by the Secretary of the
Treasury In authorised banks within
the district and designated as "special
timber land reclamation fund' for use
In the further development of Govern
ment lands. It Is provided, however.
that IS per cent of the net proceeds
from the sale of such timber shall be
paid Into the state school fund.
A commission of three members is to
be created for each settlement district
tne member, designated by the Secre
tary ot tho Interior, to be a lawyer:
one. designated by the Secretary of
Agriculture, to be skilled In lumber-ana
timber, and the third to be appointed
by the Governor of the state, to ba an
experienced farmer and a graduate of
an agricultural college. This commis
sion then Is authorised to classify the
lands and segregate the nonmineral
areas from the mineral property. Tbe
nonmineral lands are to be divided Into
farm units, each containing acreage
sufficient to support a settler and
family with additional reasonable sav
ings returns when competently farmed
or used."
Farm Umlta to Ba Classified.
These farm units are to be divided
into two classes. Class one shall con
tain at least 20 acres. In such condi
tion that they can be farmed profitably.

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,

CONSUL'S SON-IN-LAW HERO
Severln Harkson. Rescues Jm1h
Br rakers at Gcarhart.
In
Severln Harkson, 21-year-old son of
the Portland Danish Vice-Consul,
proved himself a hero at Gearhart
Beach last Wednesday, according to
word that reached Portland yesterday,
saving two youngsters from almost
certain death by drowning.
' 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.
