Two indictments -were returned

of the first National bank of Linnton.
by the federal grand Jury at noon yes
terday In connection with the opera
lions of J. Al Pamson. arrested some
, time co und again indicted yesterday.
Bail of HO.OvO is namd In the case of
Mr. Mann. It is possible that other in
diriment may follow.
The first indictment charges Mr.
Mann with misappropriating- funds of
the bank. The second charges him with
making a false report to the controller
of currency regarding the bank's af
fairs.
Attorneys for the First National bank
of Linnton Issurd the following state
ment last evening:
Baak Net Involved.
"The indictment and arrest of J. .
Mann in connection with bills of lad
ing and lumber invoices and accept
ances forged by J. Al Pattison and
sold by the J. Al aPttison Lumber
ooipany to the First National bank of
Linnton in no manner involves the
bank. Immediately upon discovery of
the fact that this paper had been forged
every dollar of it w hich had been car
ried by the First National bank of
Unnton was personally taken up by
directors of the bank, and the bank is
not now carrying and has not for soma
months carried any of the Pattison
Lumber company obligations.
"Mr. Mann resigned his connection
with the bank at the time, and is
neither an officer nor stockholder of
the First National bank of Linnton.
Puring the past few months his entire
time has been givei. to his life insur
asce business.
Vumdm Deelared Misappropriated
J. Al Pattison, operating as the J. Al
Pattison Lumber company, is alleged
to have forged trade acceptances in
hit scheme of high financing, and these
were cashed with bank funds by Mr.
Mann, who was then cashier of the In
stltution. Mr. Pattison is Jointly
dieted with Mr. Mann in "aiding and
assisting in misapplying" the funds.
The whole scheme is said to Involve
from JlS'l.Ooo to 1H0.00O.
As cashier. Mr. Mann did not. it is
alleged, report a true statement of af
faira of the bank to the controller of
currency. Under the law, national banks
cannot loan more than 10 per cent of
the capital stock and 10. per cent of the
unimpaired surplus. The Linnton bank
had a capitalization of IIj.OOO and
surplus of IIS. 000. so. that it could not
have loaned more than $4300. Mr. Mann
reported that there were no loans In
excess of the 10 per cent, whereas he
Is said to have loaned to Pattison more
than 140.000, or appropriating the entire
capital and surplus.
About the time that Mr. Pattison's
connection with the bank was discov
ered. Jt is said that a deficit of many
thousands of dollars was made up. so
that the bank was made perfectly sol
vent.
The Inside story of the Pattison oper
ations and the part which Mann played
and possibly one or two other indi
viduals. Is not expected to become pub
lic until the matter comes to trial.
Government bank experts have been
working on the case for weeks, and
when the federal grand jury met. all
the evidence was prepared and sub.
mltted.

broken arm and severe bruises about
the head and body, is not able to dis

It was a snappy discussion that mem
bers of the Oregon Civic league heard
yesterday at the regular 'luncheon
meeting in tlio crystal room of the
Hotel Benson on "Recent Legislation.1
B. Huston, senator, and Eugene' E.
Smith, representative from Multnomah
county, were the principal speakers,
and a number of other members were
among the guests of the day. Senator
Huston talked on the importance of
legislation favorable to the marketing
of farm products as a means of
economy to producer and consumer and
compared the situation existing in this
state and California. He declared that
the effect of organization in the south
ern state had resulted in obtaining bet
ter prices for farmers, while giving
the consumer an advantage of lower
prices. The underlying cause of dis
satisfaction is usually deep seated, he
averred, and frequently is not reached
by superficial treatment As an Illustra
tion of this the Non-Partisan league
movement in North Dakota was cited,
where, said the senator, the uprising
or the farmers was founded upon real
grievances, but in attempting to cure
the ills the method adopted is likely
to wreck the state. To combat bolshe
vism in any form it was held prudent
to remove the cause.
Horse Bill Is Approved.
Representative Smith told the league
that the criminal syndicalism act is as
good a measure of the kind as has
been adopted in the United States
that as originally framed it would
have been evil in Its effects, but as
passed, with the words "for profit," in
defining the motive for activities .in
violation thereof, it does away with
professional agitators- in Oregon. The
Home bill was defined as a measure
which guarantees a square deal and
the most important labor enactment
written Into the statutes. "Labor
doesn't want to dicate," Mr. Smith
said. "It merely wanta a square deal
for everybody."
Mrs. Alexander Thompson, repre
sentative from Hood River and Wasco
counties, spoke briefly, heartily In
dorsing the Home bill as the greatest
enactment of the session, the success
of which she attributed to the foroa
fulness of its defense by Representa
tive Smith.
SoIobm Are Thanked.
Miss Julia Spooner, on behalf of the
Portland Grade Teachers' association,
expressed thanks to the members of
the legislature for the creation of the
court of domestic relations, and espe
cially Senator Huston, who introduced
the measure. She also disavowed spe
cial credit for the association, and
said the gratitude of the public for
this great welfare measure should be
to those who so valiantly aided in
supporting it, and the legislators who
recognized its worth from the first
and assisted in informing and convinc
ing other members of the assembly.

7 .-V BCe
The establishment of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was
no experiment. Its actual organization
as a body corporate was preceded by
visitations of heavenly beings, by defi
nite revelation, by prophecies as to the
unfolding plan of the Divine purpose 11
these latter dtys, and by the publica
tion of the Book of Mormon a volume
of Scripture which, though comprising
the record of ancient peoples, was new
to the modern world.
These and other heavenly manifesta
tions, including the bestowal of the
Holy Priesthood with its expressly de
fined authority and appointment to or
ganize and build up the Church, were
made through Joseph Smith, who at
the time of the first visitation was a
lad in his fifteenth year.
To the earnest student of this un
precedented series of events a certain
dominant characteristic is apparent
the positiveness and certitude with
which the successive avowals of the
vouthful nroohet were set forth. Fro
his testimony of the glorious theophany
by which the dispensation or me iui
ness of times was inaugurated, down to
his last inspired utterances immedi
ately nrecedinsr his . martyrdom,, his
doctrinal teachings, his affirmations
and prophecies were unweakened by
qualification or ambiguity.
Plain and unembellished by studied
rhetoric or dramatic effect, his solemn
averments were free rrom even tne
shadow of the tentative or provisional.
He voiced his message fearlessly and
in the strength of simplicity, with no
restraining afterthought of opposition,
ridicule or persecution.
True to the character of a real
prophet, he gave out only as he received
line upon line, precepi upon preuepi,
here a little and there a little. And
behold, the precepts have arrayed them
selves into a scriptural unity; the lines
have fallen into order as verses of a
revealed epic; and tne little nas grown
the fulness of the everlasting gospel.
The mission of Joseph Smith and that
of the Church he was instrumental in
founding have from the first been be
fore the- world in their true colors.
Though the unity of unalterable pur
pose and unchanging plan is im
pressively apparent, there is nothing in
the latter-day Scripture that savors of
policy or obscure intent.
Granted that the claims of the Church
are boia ones, evtii sumiugiy w,
that some of them when first enunci
ated stood in disturbing contrast with
certain theological dogmas long re
garded as orthodox. Nevertheless, they
nresented with an assurance such
as only the certainty of their Divine
source could justify or sufficiently ex
plain. ,"
in this aee of free speech and liberty
f rnnscience it is surely allowable to
put forth views and publish affirma
tions relating to religious belief, etert
though the doctrines be opposed to
earlier conceptions, provided the riglita
of men to accept or reject be duly re
spected. Consider the following in
stances of the solemn avowals made
by Joseph Smith.
He declares that in answer to prayer,
in the spring of 1820, he was visited
by wo Personages, in the form and
likeness of perfect men and amidst
light and glory indescribable, who
were none other than God the Internal
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ; and
that the former pointing to the latter
said: "This Is my beloved Son, hcur
Him."
Then on September 21, 1823, Joseph.
Smith was visited by the angel Moroni,
who disclosed to him the depository of
the ancient records from which the
Book of Mormon has been since trans
lated. Part of the angel's message on
this occasion, as recorded in the words
of the latter-day prophet, was "ttint
God hnd a work for me to dot and that
my mime should be had for good and
evil among all nations, kindreds and
tongues, or that It should be both good
and evil spoken of 'among all people.
(Pearl of Great Price, p. 89.)
Is it conceivable that an unschooled
youth, of obscure parentage and humble
surroundings, would venture to assert
such future distinction without the
assurance of unmistakable commission?
Another of Mormon's predictions is
thus stated by Joseph Smith: '-He In
formed me of great Judgments which
were coming upon the earth, witll
grent deitolations by famine, aword and
pestilence; and that these ajrlevoua
Judgments would come on the eartn. la
this jreneration.'
Furthermore, the angel cited Scrip
ture from both the Old Testament and
the New, relating to the gathering ot
Israel, vicarious work for the dead.
and other characteristics of the last
days, declaring that all these earlier
prophecies were about to be fulfilled.
In 183i a revelation was received by
Joseph Smith definitely foretelling tha
civil war in this country, and specify
ing the defection of the State of South
Carolina as the beginning. This por
tentous prediction followed: The duya
will come that war will be poured oat
upon all nations," and tht by blood
shed, famine, plagues, as well as by
earthquakes and othe"r destructive
natural agencies, the Inhabitants ot
the earth would be brought into mourn
ing and humility.
The word of the Lord, through
prophets of these latter days, is voiced
in definite and certain tones.
