TIIE SUNDAY- OltEGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 3, 1916. TRUCE DECLARED IN MONTGOMERY CASE RIOT OF COLOR .FROM 50,000 BULBS GREETS VISITOR TO GLADIOLUS FARM W. L. Crissey Entertains Splendidly Among Mass of Blooms at Beautiful Home Set Down Under Firs Near Riyr. Bustling Towns Are Visited on Way to Secluded Spot. Tomorrow Compromise Reached Between District Attorney's Office -and Judge McGinn. MR. LANGGUTH DISPLEASED tore Closeb All Day Mnnlcipal Court Says That Reduc- tlon of Sentence for Flagrant Vio lation of Prohibition Law Will Have Bad Effect. 18 Ha&ot The Courthouse war is over. Flags of truce waved and a peace treaty was eigned by Circuit Judge McGinn and the District Attorney's office yester day, disposing of the case of Mrs. C. W. Montgomery, bootlegger, and ending a three days' legal battle. The terms: A fine of $100, to be paid within 90 days, no Jail sentence and freedom from further prosecution on pending charges. The police, who have been allied with the District Attorney and Municipal Judge Langguth, were taken into con sideration in the settlement. Charges of violating the prohibition law. for which Mrs. Montgomery was arrested for the third time Friday night, and conducting a disorderly house were dis missed in Municipal Court yesterday morning on motion of Deputy District Attorney Deich. This was a binding term of the arbi tration, agreed to by Mr. Evans, yes terday. If conviction on the liquor charge was obtained in the lower court, an appeal would have meant that the District Attorney would have recom mended a dismissal or parole in the Circuit Court. If Mrs. Montgomery was held to answer on the disorderly house charge, and indicted by the grand Jury, Mr. Evans would have suggested that the Indictment be dismissed. Concession Are Made. By the terms of the treaty both sides liave been compelled to make conces sions. Judge McGinn waived his in clination not to punish the woman. Dis trict Attorney Evans relinquished his demand for a. Jail sentence. "We don't want vindictive Justice, but we want to be sustained in our conviction of this woman," commented Deputy District Attorney Ryan yester day. "The settlement is quite satisfac tory to the District Attorney's office." Judge McGinn would have preferred a. parole, but the District Attorney stood firm, for the payment of a fine. The arrangement was satisfactory to J. J. Fitzgerald and Sam Johnson, at torneys for Mrs. Montgomery, and their client pleaded guilty. "The constant arrests and persecu tion are making our client ill," said Attorney Fitzgerald. "Wo want some end to this. A fine will be the easiest Way." Mrs. Montgomery Is reported to have collapsed in the City Emergency Hospital, following her third arrest. 9 liunjr uigut. Arrests Follow Quickly. Mrs. Montgomery sold liquor at 557 Taylor street. She was arrested for the first time August 23, convicted and sentenced to 50 days in Jail by Munici pal Judge Langguth. After being re leased on a writ of habeas corpus, signed by Judge McGinn, she was re arrested on another similar charge, convicted last Thursday in the Munici pal Court and sentenced to 50 days and fined $300. Released, pending the ap peal to be heard before Judge McGinn yesterday an appeal rushed through in record time so that Judge McGinn and not Judge Davis would hear the case Mrs. Montgomery was arrested a third time Friday night in the effort of the police to circumvent Judge McGinn. Municipal Judge Langguth alone re mains displeased with the peace terms. When Deputy District Attorney Deich recommended dismissal of the third charge against Mrs. Montgomery and also the charge against her husband, C. S. Danziger, Judge Langguth com mented: "I suppose this recommendation is satisfactory to the District Attorney's office or it wouldn't be made here. Twice the defendant has been convict ed, once on her own confession, which was confirmed by her accomplice. Frances Ward. After all was done, and done legally, I considered that a mild sentence had been imposed for a brazen, willful violation of the law. Judge LanKgnth Displeased. "I say without reservation that I hesitate. A miscarriage of Justice is an injury to the . bulwarks of public safety. I do not believe in compro mises. I'd rather go down with my col ors flying than give way a solitary Inch. I believe the settlement of this case will have a baneful effefct on law enforcement. Violators of the prohibi tion law will see a triumph in it and take heart, inspired by the action of a charitably inclined Circuit Judge. "As for the officers and the District Attorney's office, I believe they have been faithful in trying to stamp out the violations and I'm the last one to criticise the action of any judge of a Buperior court, but I feel that the moral effect of this case has been lost through punishment absolutely inadequate." Daisy Gordon, who appealed to Judge McGinn from a fine in the Municipal Court for bootlegging, pleaded guilty yesterday, on advice of Attorney W. M. Davis, and was fined $200 and pa roled. Attorney Nels Jacobsen attempted to have Judge MuGinn pass on the appeal of William Rainey, convicted of boot legging in the District Court, yesterday morning. He received a similar recep tion to that of Attorney W. C. Camp bell, the day prior, in attempting to get Judge McGinn to hear the petition for a writ of ntandamus of Edward von Euw. "Nothing doing," quoth Judge Mc Ginn. Attorneys Have Argument. "If there's a better brand of justice In this court, I want to have it," said Attorney Jacobsen. "I disagrre with you as to the brand of justice," interrupted Deputy District Attorney Ryan. "Yes, there may be a difference of opinion regarding the justice dispensed by this court." said Judge McGinn. "Take your case to Judge Davis." Judge Davis assumes the bench in the criminal department of the Circuit Court next week. Attorney John Manning was given an order by Judge McGinn yesterday de manding that Sheriff Hurlburt release the liquor confiscated in the case of George L. Hoffman, for whom Judge McGinn directed a verdict the day be fore. District Attorney Evans instruct ed the. Sheriff to ieiore the order, so far as it pertained to the liquor taken from Mr. Hoffman's home, but to obey it with regard to the six bottles intro duced in evidence. Mr. Hoffman's liquor, to the amount of 300 quarts, is not under the jurisdic tion of Judge McGinn, explained Mr. Evans. It was not introduced as evi dence in the case before the Circuit Judge and is being held pending con demnation proceedings, as a nuisance. before District Judge Jones ' next Wednesday.

Crissey was assist ing Tom Richardson in manag ing the Portland Commercial Club a decade ago, his favorite recre ation was taken in the saddle. One day he saw a place that excited- the lure of the soil and bought it. That has developed into "Gladiolus Farm," whence cam'e the wonderful and beautiful exhibit of those flowers in a city department store the past week. I motored out there a week ago to see the place, of which I had heard much during three years. It was easy to find, by way of the Powell Valley road through Gresham and less than a dozen miles beyond the County Fair city on the road to Bull Run. The go clsion in the Hoffman caBe is to be taken to the Supreme Court, said Mr. Evans yesterday. He contends Judge McGinn is in error in directing an ac quittal because the evidence against Hoffman was procured by paid agents of the state. KLAMATH MAN IS SUICIDE James Wallace Redficld, III, End? Ufa in Water. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Sept 2. (Special.) James Wallace Redfield, for several years a resident of this city. Jumped off the pier Wednesday night and was drowned. It is believed that OREGON WOMAN Mr. Redfield's mind was slightly de ranged, as he had been in poor health for some time. Mr. Redfleld was born in 1847 at Newark, N. J. He is survived by a widow, a daughter, Mrs. E. L. Elliott, of this city, and three sons. Lyle, Don and Lloyd, all of this city. He was a veteran of the Civil War and a Mason.

Years ago somebody chopped the slt of the farm out of the forest primeval, leaving enough timber to make it a base of' magnificent vistas. The firs frame a picture on the farm from any point and afford glimpses through them of rolling hills and rippling riv ers. Beneath the farm Bull Run unites with the Sandy. The day I was there I saw 50,000 bulbs in bloom or about to break, a riotous, kaleidoscopic romp of color red, pink, white, lavender, yellow and deep purple in separate fields and demonstration garden. I did not know there were so many gladlolas in the world. There are other marvels on this little in. SCHMUS CHOSEN SPIRITUALIST HEAD TO HOLD OF : FICE FOR AXOTHER TERM.

' Robert Schmus was re-elected presi dent of the State Spiritualist Associa tion at the business session of the an nual convention held yesterday at the AND PETS SHE HAS TRAINED farm, but the sign over the gate "Gladiolus Farm" names the specialty and the attraction. Mr. and Mrs. Crissey have a wel come for visitors. As I said previously, the farm is easy to find. When you reach the hairpin curve just before dropping down to the bridge over the Sandy, there is the place. The monot tony of the ride back, will be dispelled in negotiating that curve and the de scent to the river, with three bridges in sight, one of which carries the pipe line that brings Bull Run water to the city. The bustling town of Sandy is passed on the return and before you are aware if you hit her up a bit you are bowling along the oiled macadam of Multnomah County.

DUCKS ARE ACTORS, TOO Turkeys and Hogs Are Also Educat ed by. Mrs. Bertha Green, of Gresham, Whose Only Rule Is Patient Kindness. "Give an animal kindness, love and patience and he will do anything- for you," says Mrs. Bertha Green, who has won considerable fame ln and about Gresham for her ability to handle and train domestic animals. Mrs. Green has passed three years on the stock farm of A. C. Ruby, near Gresham. and hes experiences with the horses and other animals have been interesting and quite unique. She has a trained blue ribbon horse, a trained colt, a trained plsr and ever so many other clever pets. Including- a flock of trained ducks. "Colonel" is the name of Mrs. Green's horse. Several years ago he was an outlaw. He was what is known as a "criminal horse," having thrown an injured . many people. Mrs. Green's victory over "Colonel" wasn't easy. At first she couldn't go near him. Then gradually by little demonstrations of kindness she won "Colonel" so that now the horse will lie down, kneel, stand on two feet and do many other tricks at her command. Blue Ribbon Won. So great was "Colonel's" intelligence that his tricks won him the blue rib bon for the best trick horse at the Multnomah County fair, 1914. Recently "Colonel" posed for "The Horse's Prayer." for a picture to be used by the Oregon Humane Society. Underlying Mrs. Green's success with her pets is her love for them and her understanding and faith in their intelligence and fidelity. She has al ways lived with them ever since Ehe was a little girl on a Kansas farm, and she cares little for the city. With her pets in the country she is happy. Recently Mr. Ruby presented Mrs. Green with a colt five days old. The mother was a high-priced mare that had Just died and all efforts were made to save the colt. Mrs. Green began at once to feed the colt on a bottle. As the colt grew larger it came to Mrs. Green's window at intervals every night to be fed. Pet Colt Is Killed. The pet dog, "Panorama Blink," was with the colt always, following it about the pasture and sleeping with it at night. When "Baby Bell" was three months old she attempted to Jump a picket fence and was injured so that she died the same day. For three days and nights "Panorama Blink" lay disconsolate on "Baby Bell's" grave, refusing to eat or to leave. On the fourth day they took him away by force, fearing that he would starve. Another baby colt was brought to take "Baby Bell's" place, and al though "Panorama Blink" follows it about at times he has never become at tached to it. Another of Mrs. Green's pets is Sally, a 400-pound pig that was fed on a bottle, and learned tricks before she became too fat to perform them. Turkeys as well as animals are in dividuals, according to Mrs. Green. Each of her nine turkeys has a signal to which it responds, and no one of them will come at the others call.
