C. FT. -.B. .Wood then presented and
read tho sworn answer of the Portland
Qas company to the Oregonlan's
charge. This anawer 1 published in
full on another page. As Mr. Wood
read those portions of the answer which
challenged the truthfulness of th Ore
gonlan's statements and plainly dei
clarod that it was acting from dishon
orable motives many eyes were turned
toward Harvey W. Scott, who sat with
scowling bro'wa beside his Attorney,
Judge McOlnn. Mr. Wood laid special
etress on th gas company's declaration
that it was ready at any time to sell
Its plant to the city, provided yie city
would pay its fair mnrket value.
In behalf qf the Oregnnlan,' Judge
McOlnn then presented a formal state
ment of the paper's charge. Many of
the accusations which it has made most
loudly were not Included In the list,
which was as follows:
Tk Oregonlan' (Tharg-e.

Ject of th investigation must be to
determine whether th gaa company waa
charging an exorbitant rata for gas in
exacting $1.16 per thousand feet, and
said that It waa comparatively unlmpotU

"I am glad that th lssu hag nar

' Avoids Othar Quttoaa.
Judge McOlnn insisted that the main
Issue waa whether th prio charged
for gaa la excessiv, and declined to
take up any' other question. Mr. Teal
called aTTentlon to th fact that th
company announced several waeks ago
that ui prlc of gas would b reduced
this year to $1, so that th inqulr;
should properly be whether $1 woul
be an excessive charge. He also en
tered protest against brushing sslda all
the Oregonlan s charges of graft and
dishonesty, but th committee sided
with Judge MeOlna. aajl C T. Adams,
president of- th gas company, was
called 'to the stand. His 'testimony oc
cupied, the remainder of the evening and
was closely followed by. the. throng
which packed th council chamber.
At times the witness grw restive
under the questioning of Judge McOlnn
and finally burst forth in a violent de
nunciation of Harvey W. Bcott and E. B.
Piper, declaring that It waa the policy
of the .Oregonlan to blackguard all
whom it could not bend to Its , will.
There was an exciting scene 'when Ad
ams strode across the room and shook
his fist in the' faces of McOlnn and Piper
and it was with some difficulty that
order was restored.
Adams' Testimony.
Durlnr the earlier portion of-his testl
mony Mr. Adams gave much Information
ss to the gaa company's business. He
estimated the value of the plant at about
$1,600,000. The amount of gas Sold
last year was $4$. 012,000 cubic feet,' and
the revenue for the year was isns.tuz

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
rw People Know How Vscful It Is ta
Freservlag Stealth aad Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest snd most efficient
disinfectant and purifier In nature, but
few realise Its value when taken Into
the human system for th saro cUans
Ing purposs.
Charcoal Is a remedy that th more
you take of It th better; it Is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs th
gsses snd Impurities always present In
th stomach and intestines and carrlss
them out of th system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears "and im
proves the complexion. It whitens the
teeth and further set as a natural and
eminently . safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In th stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In on
form or another, but probably th beat
charcoal and th most for th money
Is In Stuart's Charcoal Ttosenges: thsy
are composed ef the finest- paadersd
Willow charcoal, and othr harmless

Tells Oosnpaays Sthrtory.
Th history of th pure has of th
gaa- business from the -old company tn
1(92 and of the reorganisation of th
company In 1901 was related at length
by the witness. At th time of the pur
chase, In 1(2.- the new-company paid
$1,000,000 In bonds and $1,000,000 in
stock to the former owners who were
C. F. Adams, A. U Mills and Mr. White
house, In 1900 the business of the com
pany waa at so low an ebb that the re
ceipts were" not sufficient to pay fixed
charges. Foreclosure by the bondhold
ers seemed imminent, but a plan was
finally devised for reorganisation.
It wa agreed that the stockholders

surrendered 60 per cent of their bonds
snd In lieu thereof they received stock-
to the amount of $5OO,00, it being
aareed further that the bondholders
should purchase $250,000 of new bonds,
so as to give the company ready money
with which to continue business. All rtx

Ssnle Story ef Bonne
Judge McOlnn persisted tn asking the
witness whether ha and A. U Mills did
not receive a bonus of $260,000 In stock
for which they paid nothing, but Adams
denied that such was the case.
"Welt what did you get out of itJ
asked McOlnn.
"None of your business," retorted the
witness sharply.
"Do you decline to tell th committee
what you got out of itr-
"That's It exactly," replied Adams.
VIsn't It a fact that you and Mills got
stock to the amount of $260,000 each
for which you paid nothlngr persisted
the attorney. -
"No. elr." shouted Adams. "That is
a damnable lie and waa given to Mr.
Piper by Mr. C, J. Reed. I want to
name the man.'
,K. B--Piper, th. managing editor of
ths Oregon, sprang to his feet, quiver
ing with excitement
-That's a lie," he dsolared, shaking
his flat at th witness.
. Adams again fiercely repeated his
declaration but the attorneys Interposed
and th semblance of peace was Anally
restored. McOlnn desired to know the
names of the stockholder at th time
of -the reorganisation and this drew
forth objections from the gas company's
attorneys.
."If the purpose Is to get the private
business of these stockholders, w ob
ject" said C. K. a Wood. C. F. Adams,
whose temper had (flvan way onoe be
fore, suddenly burst forth In a fleree
denunciation or the -Oregonlan.--
"Those blackguards that run the Ore
gonlan started this thing for personal
motives," he shouted. "They started
out to blackguard every man. In this
company who would not bend to their
will. Along about last May they started
in to vilify W1Q Ladd and I made up
my mind that so far as the gas company
is concerned ' they would get no more
from us."
Scott stakes STls asowpe. -
Adams strode across the room angrily
demanding what had become of Harvey '
W. Scott but the dltor had left the
room. C. .E. S. Wood interposed a plale
statement of the-vlaw taken by himself
and his clients.
'Th view w take of thl matter,
to i be frank, is that - the Oregonlan'
started in on this business for spite
and because Mr. Adams refused to ac
cede to some of Its demands. And th
Oregonlan is now trying to lay the
foundation for more spltework."
Mr. Teal declared that the company
did not propose to withhold any rele
vant fact, but he insisted that the Ore
gonlan had been r misled as to the re
organization of the company and that
there had beenrMn fact no watering of
the stock. This the books of the com
pany would show.
Judge McOlnn replied that ths pub
lic had the right to all details of the
reorganisation so ss to know whether
the .stock was watered. -
"The Oregonlan has chsrged and I
now charge that in the reorganisation
of the old company in 1902, $260,000
of stock was Issued for which not a
dollar was paid, and that Is the way
this lon-sufferln communltv has been

tion you want. Now Just rip It up."
The remainder ef the proceedings
were conducted more temperately. Mr.
Adams was questioned as to details of
the reorganisation and readily gave all
the desired information. It was sgreed
that the books showing the list of stock
holders at the time of the reorganisa
tion should be at the disposal of the
committee and of Judge McOlnn when
ever wanted. Pending an -examination
of the books an adjournment was taken
until Friday evening, when the Investi
