PERJURY IN DAMAGE "
CASES CONFESSED
Three Admits Suits Against
Car Company Were Won
on False Testimony.
GRAND JURY WILL ACT
Witness for Woman Declares He
Was Not Near Accident and Did
Not See Injuries He Told ot
on Stand During Suit.
Conscience-stricken, three persons
have appeared before District Attorney
Evans in the course of a month desir
ous of cleansing: themselves from the
stain of perjury, and confessed to lying
fAstimnnv that won damage verdicts
against the Portland Eailway. Light
& Power Company.
As a result of volunteer confessions,
Kdson K. Carr was indicted by the
Multnomah County grand Jury for per
jury yesterday, and Thomas S. Moles
worth. Mrs. Selma L. "Wallace and
Clyde E. Wallace were indicted for
subornation of perjury in connection
with the suit of Mrs. Wallace against
the Portland Eailway, Light & Power
Company, in which a $5000 verdict was
won.
The indictment of several persons
connected with a similar damage suit
against the railway company will be
considered by the June grand Jury,
which will be drawn tomorrow. Dis
trict Attorney Evans will lay the facts
leaned from one perjured witness be
fore the Jury as soon as it is organized.
M'ltnni Not Kwr Spot, He Mays.
Edson Carr, who swore on the wit
ness stand to a set of incidents which
he said came under his observation, in
connection with injuries to Mrs. Selma
I Wallace May 8, 1915, in a fall from
a streetcar on Eleventh street between
Hall and Montgomery streets, has con
fessed, it is said by the District At
torney's office, he was not near the
scene at the time of the accident he
described as an eye-witness.
Mrs. Wallace sued the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power for 126,600.
She sid a car from which she was
alighting had started before she had
stepped to tha around, throwing her
and inflicting severe injuries. The
case wnt to triar before Circuit Judge
Kavanaugh, September 15, 1915, and
two days later a verdict of $5000 for
the plaintiff was returned. An im
portant witness in this case was Carr,
who corroborated the woman's story
that the streetcar started too soon.
Carr testified, it is reported, that he
raw a Chinaman leave the car, and
then the car started Just as Mrs. Wal
lace was going down the steps. He
told of picking her up and helping her
to the sidewalk.
Pay for Testimony Intimated.
Molesworth is another man who Is
aid to have told the Grand Jury all
he knew about this affair, and to have
admitted an agreement by which he
was to secure perjured testimony from
Carr with the promise that they would
receive a good share of' the Judgment
money won in the case.
Mrs. Wallace and her husband. Clyde
E. Wallace, were instigators of the
acheme, it is charged.
"There is no telling Irow many dam
age cases against corporations are won
on perjured testimony," said Mr. Ev
ans last night. "This office has been
investigating several cases rigidly.
The three confessions we have received
were voluntary admissions of conscience-stricken
persons. In one of the
cases under consideration, the attorney
for the winning plaintiff demanded the
probe, asserting that he had been im
posed on as well as the court, and that
hlB professional integrity was at stake."
FAVORITE SONS NUMEROUS
(Continued From First Page.)
stand as this morning I dUi watching
this class of our population as it de
filed by endlessly in wide columns,
all cheering, all waving flags, all ex
hibiting the profound cheerfulness of
countenance which is so characteristic
of that most optlmistio of living crea
tures, the favorite.
On and on they came, their banners
dancing, beneath the bright Bun and
under the blue skies. On and on they
passed and on beyond came more and
yet more, until the Intellect recoiled
from the tack of computing the fig
ures. It was in truth a magnificent,
a stirring spectacle.
Thought Pulse-Stirring.
To think that here in this busy land
or ours tnere were so many self-sacrl
fialng, unselfish men ready and willing
to lay aside their own affairs and to
accept the nomination for President of
the United States, with a view of glv
lng up four yeans of their lives to
residence In a white building at Wash
lngton. T. C. where repeatedly fault
had been found with the plumbing and
the view is not what it might be. To
an American it was a pulse-stirring
thought. My pulse was stirred. But
then I should not take undue credit
lor that. Through dint of long prac
tice I have one of those automatic
pulses. I can stir it at will.
For long I stood for watching the
procession. uenind the favorite sons
came the daughters, an attractive in
novation in politics. Mainly they wore
Summery white frocks and carried the
National colors. I was particularly
struck by the appearance of one of the
favorite daughters. I should judge it
wouia email no strain upon her to be
a favorite with almost anybody. There
was something about the young woman.
if you get my meaning, undeniably
Fomeuraig. rind It hard to define
It in words. But it was there. And
so was Bhe.
Then Come Favorite Children.
In the rear of the favorite daugh
ters were a great mass of the favorite
children, this. I take it. beins: a tribute.
physically expressed, as it were, to the
anti-race-suicide propaganda of Colo
tiel Theodore Roosevelt, who is Oyster
Bay's favorite son, and his own. These
youngsters were mainlv of the
line gender and wore the uniform of
the Hoy Scouts.
Then followed more favorite sons and
tnore favorite daughters, and so on
rwiinoui cessation.
At length I grew wearied of viewing
xne pageant. I lert my hand baggage
at my hotel and 1 sought out the places
where were to be found such of the
advance guard of the convention visit
ors as had not taken part in tho pa-
raae. concerning the prospects of
sudden swing toward one or another
f the candidates. I was, by careful In
quiry among those best miftliflorl to
know, soon able to ascertain that the
two Chicago, teams in the big leagues
are not doing as well as expected, but
sire iiaoie to spurt tfp at any moment.
KoBtody Really Definite.
In the matter of the principal planks
to be incorporated into the platform
I am prepared to report that there is

headed by George M. Cohan and father
and Willie Collier and son. Touching
on tue cnances ior a dark horse. I was
impressed by an opinion expressed on
every, hand that the recent great battle
in the North Sea was both startling
and surprising in its outcome.
With regards to the Progressive con
vention I gathered that if the accred
ited delegates should start singing
'" Onward Christian Soldiers," and
should get all heated up and should
nominate Colonel F.oosevelt before the
main convention takes its first ballot,
it might or might not be favorable, or,
as the case may be, an adverse influ
ence upon his chances for being nomi
nated by the orthodox Republicans.
Here some authorities held to one view
and some to the other. Altogether, I
feel authorized in asserting that my
information upon the all-important con
tingencies is just as reliable as the
prognostications secured up until this
hour by my fellow reporters upon the
spot.
Two Days of Drought Ahead.
In addition to the foregoing authen
tic predictions, I learned tidings which
are calculated to prove actually dis
tressing to some of the assembled pa
triots, after the dread news has spread.
Tomorrow will be Sunday, and Chicago
will be reasonably dusty, not to say
arid, for there is a Sunday closing law
in effect here now.
On Monday Cook County is having an
election and. according to the statutes
made and provided by legislators not in
sympathy with human thirst, the sa
loons will also be closed on that day,
making two dry days in succession. In
my mind's eye I can see delegates from
wet states putting themselves unre
servedly in the hands of the delegates
from prohibition states, where they un
derstand these matters better.
Also, by way of casting a ray of hope
upon a dismal prospect. I violate no
confidence in stating that the Ken
tucky delegation already has made
I provision to install in Its headquarters
large quantity or ine product tnat
made Peoria Jealous and that the best
ullp mixer in the world, a large, sauve,
affable, exceedingly gifted yellow man
from the Phoenix Hotel bar, in Lexing
ton, is due to arrive Monday morning
in company with a bale or a couple of
bales of mint and a carload of crushed
ice.
Bosses Have No Follow-in ft.
In my meanderings about the hotel
lobbies I encountered a number of the
conscript fathers of the old days vet
eran members of tho Old Guard which
always surrenders but never dies. Some
of the ancient bosses of other times
were mooning about disconsolately. A
boss with nobody around for him to
boss Is one of the most melancholy spec
tacles known to mankind. He is like
a ballet dancer who has had both legs
cut off in a railroad accident. To a
certain extent his opportunities for the
practice of his calling are Impaired.
Colonel Bill Sterfett, of Texas, who
Is on hand dressed as a Texas gentle
man should be dressed for this change
able Northern climate, except that he
has left off his heavy Winter head
wear, summed up the situation in a
sentence. This Is the Colonel speaking:
.How pitiable to see a leader who
has taken in plain and fancy leading Tn
all its branches for many years in the
act of looking back behind him and
discovering that there ain't anybody
following him."
Until comparatively recently Colonel
Sterrett was State Game Warden down
in Texas. Under his administration the
game common to Texas was splendidly
protected. iuven a total stranger in
the commonwealth could eet a little
flirt at $2 limit almost anywhere. But
now the colonel is back in the harness
as a regular correspondent, and sage
and philosopher on the side. He prom
ises to be one of the lives of the party.
Louts Coolidge In rWhltefa.ce.w
Another - veteran of the reportorial-
game, but one who occasionally dou
bles in political finesse, is likewise on
the Job at this time. I refer to Loula
Coolidge, one of the Coolidges of Mas
sachusetts. Jijiow about the Coolidges
of Massachusetts? When the Pilgrim
Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, the
Coolidges were there to welcome them.
Back eight or twelve years asro. Mr.
Coolidge used to specialize in minister.

Perhaps he does not feel the neu-miltv

as It stands at present, -this promises
to be one of the blondest National con
ventions the Republicans have ever
held. Maybe when the last of the
Southern delegations gets In on Tuesday
its color scheme will take on a darker
tone, but right now pronounced bru
nettes are almost entirely absent. Still
we can hope for the best. The black
delegate could always be counted upon
to furnish picturesqueness to the pro

went out upon the street again, the
procession was still passing. And then
I found out something which batmen

cerning Intellect of the skilled reporter

ances. It was not a procession of the
favorite sons which I described in such
detail in the opening paragraphs of
these dispatches. Not at all. It was

what do you know about that?
In conclusion I might add. and will.
that the figures prove Chicago's parade
of today was bigger and longer and
noisier than New York's preparedness
parade of three weeks ago. so the
great warm heart of Chicago is beating
with Joy tonight.

400. AUTOS ARE COMING
HOOD RIVER AXD TJIH DALLES TO
SHOW HIGHWAY IS OPEN.
Excursion to Be Made to Portland
June 7 to. Refute Reports That
nave Been Current.
More than 400 automobiles from Hood
River and The ralles will come west
on columola mgnway Wednesday,
June 7, "to show everybody that the
reports recently scattered that the
highway Is not open to Hood itlver and
The Dalles Is a mistake."
This news was brought to town last
night by Robert E. Smith, of Roseburg,
secretary of the btate Taxpayers
League, who returned from there last
night.
"I started from Roseburg to The
Dalles by auto, but when I got to Port
land I was told not to try to get
through on the highway," said Mr.
Smith. "When I got to Hood River and
The Dalles to confer, the men I was
to meet asked me why I didn't come
by auto as I had announced. I told
them that two garages and an automo
bile owner in Portland advised me not
to try the highway all the way. Nat
urally, I explained, I took the train,
leaving my machine in Portland."
Mr. Smith said that several automo
biles and a three and a half ton truck
were making the route all the way to
Hood River and The Dalles almost
daily. The report that the highway is
not open the entire distance is keeping
off a lot of travel, he said, and has in
censed those at the east end.
"For that reason they are going to
send a big delegation to the highway
dedication," said Mr, Smith.

NEUTRALITY LAWS

Enactment of 18 Statutes to
Cover Recent Problems
Is Proposed.
. v

ernment to forbid the departure from
American ports of vessels wityi sup
plies believed to be destined for war
ships or to supply ships of belligerent
nations on the high seas.
Fourth Under this law collectors of
customs would receive the right to in
spect foreign vessels In American ports
at any time. Attempts to deceive in
spectors or to prevent the inspection
would be made criminal.
Fifth This proposal would broaden
the powers of the Secretary of State in
requiring information under oath and
proof by affidavit of such facts as he
deems desirable in applications for
passports; would make misstatements
in applications for passport punishable
a perjury and would make criminal the
fraudulent obtaining, transfer or use
of passports, and the alteration, or for
gery of passports issued.
"Sixth Making criminal the fraudu
lent use, application or counterfeiting
of the seal of any executive department
or Government commission.
Limit Put on Wireless tTse.
Seventh An act amplifying the
rather restricted provisions of the
radio act with reference to the powers
of the President to censor or prescribe
tne manner in wmcn wireless messages
and also cablegrams shall be trans
mitted to belligerent countries or ships

to communicate to a foreign govern
ment, or its agents, or to obtain wlth
out lawful authority" information rela
tive to the National defense.
"13 A law making it a crime to
mint or print money within the United
States for revolutionists in a country
with which tha United States is at
peace.
"14 A law making It a crime to
conspire to destroy or injure property
within the United States belonging to
any foreign government with which the
United States is at peace.
"15 This proposal would make It a
crime for any one to assume or pre
tend to be a diplomatic, consular or
other official of a foreign government

intent to defraud such foreign govern
ment or any person.
Notice of Ajtency Required.
"16 A law to prevent aliens other

ments without prior notification and

Multnomah County Grand Jury Inves

struction Satisfactory.
Reports to the contrary notwith
standing, the Columbia River Highway
shows no indication of faulty construc

nomah County grand jury 'or April
and May terms submitted yesterday
following an Investigation lasting a
weik.
More than a score of persons con
nected with the road work have been
interviewed b tht strand jury during
the week past, and a tour of investiga
tion was mads on the highway itself.
One person, most active in spreading
rumors of poor return for the money
expended on the highway by the
county was escorted by the Jury to
tho highway, where he was called upon
to prove his assertions. He . failed to
make them good.
Tho report of this Investigation ren
dered by the grand Jury yesterday was
as follows:
"Our attention has been called to the
construction of the Columbia River
Highway, and, deeming the building of
the said highway a matter of great
importance and of Interest to the people
of Jultoomah County, we have made
such an investigation of said highway
as our limited time would permit.
"We have taken samples of the pave
ment along different points of said
highway, have had said samples ana

and the information we have been able
to obtain, we find conditions respect
ing; the said highway satisfactory.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
for Washing; Hair
If you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash tt-wltl.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and Is
very harmful. Just plain mulsifled co
coanut oil (which Is pure and entirely
greaseless). is much better than the
most expensive soap or anything' else
you can use for shampooing, as this
can't possibly Injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at
most any drugstore. It Is very cheap,
and a few ounces Is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.
