If James Mel. 'Wood, one of Port
land's most prominent clubmen and
insurance agents, had not written a
letter, the federal grand jury would
not have indicted him yesterday for
conspiring to violate the Reed amend
ment by causing liquor to be brought
into Oregon from California. Mr. wood
who is now in a local hospital, penned
The letter of instructions to Mrs.
Maurice Brooks, who shot her husband
Tuesday night.
When the police were Investigating
the shooting. they searched Mrs.
Brooks' apartment in the Villa St.
Clara, found the letter, turned it over
to the federal authorities and the grand
Jurr did the rest. The letter, it Is
said, contained other things than di
rectlons as to how the bottles should
be muffled to prevent-1 the tell-tale
gurgle!
Third Episode Bea-ims.
Indictment of Mr. Wood Is the third
episode of the career of Mr. and Mrs.
Brooks since their advent to Portland
each episode being a thrill.
When they were coming to Portland
with suitcases, each containing 14
quarts whisky, they were shadowed
on the train from Oakland mole by
a sleuth" of the department of justice.
Mr. Brooks had a hunch as the train
neared Portland, so when passing Mil-
waukie he took his suitcase to the
platform, opened the trap, threw the
suitcase to the grouna ana jumpea.
At his heels dropped the government
man. Mr. Department of Justice
grabbed Mr. Brooks and the suitcase
and from Milwaukie telephoned to ar
rest the woman.
As Mrs. Brooks alighted from the
train at the Union depot, she was po
litely and warmly welcomed to our
city by Mr. Wood In his very best
manner. Gallantly Mr. Wood relieved
her of her suitcases (with 14 quarts)
and lightered her to a taxi. Depositing
Mrs. Brooks within. Mr. Wood and
the precious suitcase followed suit.
Mr. Um4 Paid the Fine.
Then up bobbed another federal of
ficer who proceeded to horn into the
car. Tableau! Mr. Wood assured the
minion of the law that he knew noth
ing of the contents of said juitcase. but
that the lady was a very old friend
Mrs. Brooks admitted the suitcase was
her own. and took the consequences.
Mr. Brooks was fined for bootlegging.
Mrs. Brooks was fined for bootlegging,
although both explained they were not
bootleggers, but were merely, in the
hospitable California spirit, bringing
presents to friends. Mrs. Brooks hav
ing no money, Mr. Wood gallantly paid
the fine. Mr. Brooks just had enough
to pay his own.
Came the second episode Tuesday
night with a bang, when Mrs. Brooks
plunked a bullet into her husband's
arm in their apartment. Mr. Brooks
offered to forget and forgive it his
wife would repent, but she refused and

I'p to this point neither the police
nor the federal authorities knew that
Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were the boot
leggers who made the sensational entry
to the city a few weeks ago. for when
arrested the first time they used an
alias.
Following the discovery of the In
criminating letter of instructions and
other things, the wheels of justice be
gan turning and then Mrs. Brooks
talked. She is said to claim that when
Mr. Wood met her and the pinch was
made, he told her that she would be
searched and that if she had any money
it wonld be advisable to dispose of it.
Mrs. Brooks Is said to contend that
he handed over a couple of hundred
dollars to Mr. Wood and that It was
from this bank roll that he gallantly
paid her fine as a bootleggeress.
Thus ended the third episode.

he champion of good roads, the advo
cate of every reform looking to better
morals, the incarnation of the move
ment for sounder business methods
and more comfortable life on Oregon
xarms.
"The usefulness of the Oregon Aeri
cultural collage is largely due to his
work; it was his mission to brine- the
nstltution and its work In touch with
the people. He had a thorough, prac
tical knowledge of all rural problems
and he delighted to put this knowledge
it the disposal of all with wnom he
came In contact. He knew the state
better and was in closer touch with the
people than any other public man in
Oregon. He told me once that he bad
been on practically every section of
land In Oregon. He contributed in far
larger measure than is generally real
ised to the prosperity of the state and
to the :onu'ort and efficiency of its
people.
"Wnile he had these broad views of
public policy. Governor Withycombe
was not an iconoclast. He had firm faith
in the political principles on which
the American commonwealth is builded.
He believed that the government which
has come down to us from the fathers '
was beyond all price. Although he was
born and reared in Europe, his whole
manhood was spent in Oregon and there
was no divided allegiance in his fealty.
His Americanism was gold without al
loy. "At an earlier period than any other
governor he predicted our embroilment
in the late war and he waa the first
state executive to demand adequate
preparedness. Prior to, our entry into
the war he devoted himself to the
strengtnrning or the Oregon national i
guard. He differed in political affil-'
iations from the president of the United
States, and yet a personal representa
tive of the president who visited the
western states in the summer of 1917
said that no other governor was giving
such fearless, outspoken support to war
measures as was Governor Withycombe.
He hated disloyalty and was untiring
in his efforts to suppress It in Oregon.
"It was largely due to the fervor of
his patriotism that Oregon led the union
In volunteer enlistments and In several
other of the testings which the war en
tailed. He urged men to enlist and he
was mindful of their comfort after they
donned the uniform. The prestige and
nfiuence of his office were available
to every private In the ranks for the
correction of wrong done him and for
the prevention of nnneccsary hard
ship. I was present when he bade fare
well to the last battalion of the Third
Oregon to leave the state. I wish he
ould have been spared to welcome
them on thMr return. Of all the thou
sands who will line the streets of Port-
and wh-;n these troops march up Vic
tory Way to the Liberty temple, no one
will bid them a heartier welcome than
they would have had from the governor
If he could have been present-
In a summing up of a life, achieve
ments are less important than charac
ter. We are more interested today in
what Governor Withycombe was than
in what he did. He was a grateful
man. outspoken in his appreciation of
every courtesy extended to him. He
was a loyal friend, staunch, sympa
thetic, helpful and dependable. He was
a capable, high-minded public servant,
accustomed to broad views of public
questions and solving them with an eye
single to the public weal. His lead
ership was constructive. His sympa
thies were catholic He was interested
in the welfare of the whole state and
of every class of its citizens. He en
joyed the companionship of his tellow
tnen and had a wholesome sense of humor.
He was well poised. He remained
sweet tempered in hit periods of ad
versity and ne was unspoiled by suc
cess whicn fulfilled all his ambitions.
As chief executive of the common
wealth he remained kindly, approach
able and attentive to the message of
every citizen. He was always a gen
tleman, courteous, unobstructive, tact
ful, thoughtful of the feelings of others
It was his delight to be helpful. His
most distinguishing characteristic was
his large endowment of good, common
sense. He never discredited the state
by advocating that which was wild,
foolish or destructive. His Judgment
was sound and dependable.

in life and he had a high sense of
honor. That which was expedient from
his point of view always yielded to that
which was right. In the 19 years I
knew him, I do not believe he ever ex
perienced the sensation of fear. His
conduct was always manly, dutiful and
courageous. I know the home life
which centered around the personal
ities of Governor and Mrs. Withycombe.
A more beautiful home life I have never
seen. As a husband and a father he
was all that a man can be.
We are here to express our sorrow
at his departure, to extend our sym
pathy to this wife, this daughter and
these sons whose loss Is unspeakably
great. We condole with the common
wealth, deprived in a critical hour of

Let us be mindful of our high priv

fruitful years he has spent among us;
thankful for such a life and such a
character: thankful that our country's
institutions can evolve this type of pub
lic leadership."
