This is a copy of a Mil which was pre

van & Grant, sailor boardinghouse mas
ters, to Meyer, Wilson & Co., local
agents for the BritiRh ship Glenesslin.
Excepting the last item of $H0 the bill
was promptly paid, hut It is very prob
able that amount will always remain as
an outstanding .. account. The ship's
agents turned It down with, vigor.
Captain Pritchard, master of the ves
sel, was summoned and admitted that
the bill was correct, and that Sullivan
ought to be paid. He acknowledged
that the boardlnghouse keepers bad been
employed to take seven, men from his
ship, for which services they were to
receive $20 a man.
To say that t.he agents were surprised
upon hearing the facts in the case would
be putting it very mildly. The Liverpool
firm they represent had always been
foremost among those who denounced
the crimping curse of Portland and Pu

stand that seamen were to be protected

SUBSTANTIAL MYTH
RAPS ITS TRADUCERS
Portland,, Feb. 19. -To the Editor of
The Journal This resolution was passed
by the committee which organised the
Lincoln day banquet:
"Be It resolved, That the banquet
, committee has read with regret the criti
cisms and animadversions against the
committee, as well as against the Toung
lien's Republican club, which appeared
in interviews of prominent men in last
Sunday's Oregonian. It is proper to
give to the public the motives that have
animated us in arranging the banquet
which has fallen under the displeasure
of the persons who assume to criticise
fend belittle our modest endeavors.
"It was our Idea that the Republicans
of Multnomah county and of the state,
Without regard to the unfortunate local
differences which sever us into opposing
ramps, have a common heritage, as well
in the distinguished history of our party
and ln the memories or our best beloved
founder. Abraham Lincoln, as a common
sentiment in the support; 'of the present
"great policies, of our party, 'as' MUs-
' trated in the person, and career of our
eminent ehleT, the president of the
United States. We believed that these
noble considerations were paramount to
the causes of pur local antagonisms, and
- deserved to be encouraged by an-opportunity
extended to all Republicans to
give to. them appropriate expression,
with the purpose to demonstrate to the
world that merely. local divisions could
t not retard or obstruct our fidelity to the
large principles of our party or to him
it who Is charged with their accomplish
ment. With that single and honest end
in view, we invited, without dlscrimlna
i tlon. distinguished members of either
local faction, to voice these sentiments
. of our club, and it is with satisfaction
. that we record that in no single Instance
were the proprieties of the occasion

and urged that he be accorded "fair and
Just treatment. It was insisted by them
that every effort should be made to
keep the sailors on board until their ar
ticles of agreement expired, and that
they be paid every dollar coming to
them.
Sullivan hag often stated that the
skippers coming to this port are Just as
crooked as he. He has Bald numberless
times that he. lias in his possession let
ter? from various captains- requesting
him to take their men from the ships.
"What Is the good of a satlo; board
ingUouse commission ?"lnqulred a prom
inent shipper this morning, "when the
captains are guilty of stich acts as that
ot Pritchard. It might be an easy mat
ter to prevent the sailor boardinghouse
men from boarding the ships If the cap
tains would do what they can to pre
vent It. But instead of that many of
the captains, .at least, Invite the crimps
aboard and make a deal with them by
which the sailors are to be gotten" rid
of In some manner. ,' The bigger payroll
a sailor has coming the more quickly is
he likely to be driven away from a
ship."
"This is nothing to make a howl
about; I'm doing this right along," said
Larry Sullivan, keeper of the sailor
boarding-house. , "Captain Pritchard
paid me $140 for taking the men off the
ship after Myer & Wilson had refused to
honor the bill. The seven men I took oft
had fromif 130 to $140. apiece coming to
them. That amounts to pretty close to
$1,000. By 'hiring me there was a sav
ing to the owners of the difference be
tween $140 and about $1,000. Pritchard
was undoubtedly acting under instruc
tions from his owners."

"Our membership is constituted from
both of the factions, but In accordance
with our constitution, our clup is pro
hibited In Its purposes from participat
ing in local wrangles, and is devoted
only to those grander purposes which
should animate the minds of all good
Republicans. Therefore we appeal to a
just and generous public opinion for'
approval of our sincere effort to aid
the national Republican cause, and we
deprecate the charge that we are either
'bummers,' or that the dues received
from our members are devoted other
wise than to the legitimate purposes of
our club.

A SIDEWALK THAT

Two laborers with dinner palls and
volcanic cob pipes were hurrying along
upper Williams avenue this morning.
As 'they reached ft section of board walk
that was decidedly the worse fof wear
one of them stepped on a loose board
that Immediately flew up and neatly
tripped his companion. The surprised
man made a flying leap and with his

In discussing the prospective suit

C. W. Altman was discharged by Jus
tice Reld this forenoon on a charge '
assault. and battery brought by Josepn
Friedensteln. The trouble was the out
growth of the affairs of the lOrder of
Fraternal Home Buyers.
In reviewing the case and the circum
stances leading up to the arrest and
trial,' Attorney Joseph scored the com
plaining Witness and J. H. Bnively, who
had also testified for the prosecution.
Without rebuke from the court. Attor
ney Joseph referred to Friedensteln as
a ."wolf,"' spoke of -"Black Snlvely, the
second hyena, who j with Wakefield and
his gang of pirates was organised to
plunder the public." t
"The bringing of the case is simply
pit work," said the attorney, "to drag
the name of Altman In he mire.
"Altman Is' a farmer who was roped
In by the wolves that prey- He put his
money In the home buyers' order. When
he became aware that he was identified
with lawbreakers and outlaws, he cleared
his skirt of the outfit, routed the
grafters from their' roost and is stand
ing pat to. keep the robbers out of the
lair, to prevent them from perpetrating
further outrages on the people."
The Testimony.
Evidence showed that Wakefield,
Snlvely and Friendensteln had appeared
at the office of the home buyers and
demanded an entrance. Altman refused
to let them in as they had made threats
to take forcible possession. Frienden
steln tried to push his way In, with
Wakefield a fid Snlvely In the rear, In the
form of a flying wedge. Altman pushed
Friendensteln back and was later ar
rested. It was shown that Altman had
told them that they could not come In,
but they stated they would, and were
trying to force an entrance. Judge Reld
stated that Altman was the acting pres
ident of the company at the time and
had told the complainant that he could
not come In, and when he tried to se
cure entrance by force Altman was right
In taking steps to protect his property,
and would have been Justified in taking,
more severe measures.
The balance of the furniture in the
offices of the home buyers was moved
'last evening by Gevurts & Son, so
nothing of the concern is left in the
McKay block but the sign on the door.
C. Guy Wakefield, the promoter of
the scheme, has returned to work for
the Eller Piano house pending his hear
ing before the United States grand Jury
for violation of the postal laws. No
second meeting of the contract holders
has been called.
A number of the streetcar employes,
who hold contracts In the defunct con
cern, have united, It Is said, to make ap
plication for a receiver for the order.
STATE COMMISSION
REPORTS EXPENSES
E. C. Glltner, secretary of the state
Lewis and Clark exposition commission,
has prepared a statement of the ex
penditures of the commission on ac
count of - the St. Louis and Portland
fairs.' which shows that at the meeting
of the commission on February 13, bills

W. F. Butcher, the Baker City lawyer,
who was recently Involved in a shooting
affair there. Is In the city. When asked
concerning the Incident, he said:
"Mr. White and myself were inter
ested In a contract for the construction
of waterworks at Welser, Ida; he wanted
to charge me with several items that I
thought were not Just, and which I re
fused to allow him. He was In my of
fice and we were endeavoring to effect
a settlement when he became excited
and attacked me, but my partner, Oscar
Correll. interfered; White at the time
remarking that he would fix me,' also
saying he would whip me when he met
me on the street. I waited at my office
for about two hours before starting for
home, thinking I would give White ample
time to go home. It was my Intention
to go by the office of the Justice of the
peace and have White bound over to
keep the peace, lest he attempt to make
his threat good and attack me. As I
went down the stair leading from my
office my attention was called to White's
crossing the street, apparently coming
directly toward me, by Mr. Correll, who
was with me. When I got to the side
walk he rushed at me, exclaiming, 'Now
I will do you up,' and with his left hand
raised as though he had a knife in it
with which he was about to- strike me;
I called to him to stana back and not
to touch me, but as this had no effect
I drew my revolver, telling him to stop
or I would shoot; he continued to come
on, and I pulled the trigger, the ball
making a wound in the neck; In the
meantime I retreated as far as I could,
but he kept coming after me, though I
repeatedly told him to stand back, and
I flyd the second shot, which took ef
fect In his arm. With that he turned
and walked away.
"Nobody regrets 'the occurrence more
than I do. White is a large and very
powerful man. and when approaching me
as he did In the dusk with hand upraised
as thqugh he held a knife, after the
threats he had made, there was no re
course but for me to defend myself as
best I could. I understand he will be
out in a few days now.
"I went to the office of the Justice of
the peace immediately after the shoot
ing and gave myself Into custody; no
examination has been held, .It having
been postponed at my request until Mr.
White Is able to attend and press the
matter, if he cares to. I acted in self
defense, and there can be but one result
of any examination that may be held,
and that is my acquittal."
Mr. Butcher was the Democratic nom
inee for congress from this district at
the last election. .

(Journal Special 8ervlce.)
Atlanta, Ga.. Feb. 19. Speaking here
last night of Grover Cleveland's recent
article on "Democracy's Opportunity,"
W. 3. Bryan said that he heartily com
mended one thing that Mr, Cleveland
advocated r namely, a platform that
should honestly state the party's posi
tion, and 'mean exactly what it says.
"But Mr. Cleveland ought to have
talked against imperialism in 1900, when
It might have been of some service to
the party. . When he had a chance to do
something he preferred to- act with the
corporations controlling the Republican
party; his utterances now are only
'sounding brass.'"
Mr. Bryan gives Mr. Cleveland credit,
however, for "showing some Democratic
symptoms deeper than the sounding
platitudes with which he regales the
public." He says Mr. Cleveland may
be ona of the "rank,": but denies that he
Is one of the "file" of the party. As to
the nominee, Mr. Bryan declared that
he had no particular choice. He thinks
prospects of success are bright, but
does not wish to discuss candidates.
But he says the nominee should be "as
far from the example of Mr. Cleveland
as we can And." Asked If he would sup
port Cleveland If nominated, he "would
not assume or imagine such an impos
sibility." He would not promise to sup
port the nominee, whoever he might be,
but thinks the platform and candidate
will "appeal to all true candidates.".
Should Star By Old Platform.
As to the platform, Mr. Bryan says
the Democrats ought to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform, and make such
additions as may be necessary. He says
the Kansas City platform is sound in
every way, and, except for a few addi
tions, cannot be Improved. The free
silver plank should be reaffirmed along
with the rest. Mr. Bryan can see no
prosperity due to the Republican party,
but itjSs due to the general advancement
and welfare of the country.
Mr. Bryan say that Senator Henna
was the Republican party's strongest
leader, and no one can so effectively or
ganise Influences that dominate that
party. He thinks the Democratic pros
pects are very good, and that with
proper organization the party may win.
GOETZE IS FOUND
TO BE RATIONAL
Not only has Charles Goetze, arrested
on a charge of Insanity, proved to the
satisfaction of County Judge Webster
that in most of his actions he is per
fectly rational, but from the sheriff's
office comes the information that thd
old man has a will in his possession
and has shown it to several people.
Goetse nays he Is heir to a 11, 600,000
estate that la located In South Africa
and which was left him by a relative.
The old man Is 74 years of age. His
eyesight is good and on one occasion he
went to the sheriff's office and there
showed a will, written in German, which
he. read and translated. While he was
lodged in the county jail a letter, was
found on him Which was an answer writ
ten by T. V. Glbsattel, German consul
general for British South Africa, dated
June 15, 1199. The author declared he
could not And the persons Goetse wished
located. . '
Delay, so Goetse says, has been due
to getting the names of relatives and
others mixed. His failure to straighten
out the tangle In his financial affairs
he ascribes to two causes, age. and in
firmity, and lack of funds to make a
trip to the region in which the prop
erty In said to be located.
