Will Have Bad Effect.

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.

WHEN W. L. 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.

Years ago somebody chopped the slt

WOMAN TRAINS PETS
Outlaw Horse Is Tamed and
Now Performs Tricks.
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.
