FALSE BEP0RTS OVER
PHONE HIT BIG BANKS
(SpeeUl Dltpatcb to The Journal.)
New York, Feb. 10. Both the police
and the Pinkertona have been called in
to try and run tiown the man or men
who, in the last few days, have tried to
start runa on the banks by calling up
depositors on the telephone and Inform
ing them tnat certain hanks are In an
alarming condition and are going to
close. It was learned today that cases of
thla kind began to be reported as long
ago as last xnursaay.
While at least four banks were partic
ularly mentioned in the telephone calls
the greatest number of cases were re
ported of on particularly large insti
tution, which led to the belief that it
had been singled out for special attack.
Inspector McCafferty, chief of the de
tective bureau, had men working all-day
today on the case in conjunction with
the Pinkertons, and both were keeping
tabs on several. small Wall street brok
ers, who were believed to have an Inter
est In bearing the market. The crime is
a felony, punishable by a fine of $5,000
and three years' imprisonment.
FALLON, ASKS FOR
TRANSFER OF LICENSE
Another suit for $10,800 damages by
woman who leaped from the upper
story window of the Alpine rooming
hoiie at Eat Water a'nd'Kast Morri
son atreeta during a fire on the night
of February 11, 10, haa been started
in the circuit court against Joseph
Paquet, the owner of the building.
Nettie Rrown Is the plaintiff, and her
claim for damages Is practically the
sume as that brought aome time ago
bv Mrs. Mae Cooper, formerly Hue Mc
Ii wln. both alleging negligence of the
owner In falling to provide fire es-1
capes, and both aaklng for the sam-i
kinount In damuaes.
Joseph Paquet la probably the most
sued man is Portland. He la a sewer
contractor, and so frequent ar the
MiiitM that it must be no surprise
him to pick up a newspaper telling of
new proceedings, une caa agauisi mm,
In which lMvId Wllkle. a city sewer
limrn-ctnr la nlalntlff. went to trial be
fore a Jury In Judge O Day s court this
morning. Another, brougnt ty Mrs
1 tattle T. Rlkewlne. who fell Into one
of Paouet'a sewer excavations, was tried
a few daya ago, the Jury refusing to
rrant damages. iHurbara Greene has
case pending against Paquet and others
because her child slipped anu kmi on
some of the planks uaed In a bridge
joo, anu Mrs. nose naversiorK is swoa
lnar damaat-a on the ground that her lot
on the east side Is slipping Into th
sewer excavation. And there ure outers.
Nettle Hrown, in the auit begun to
day, asserts that she waa compelled
to Jump from the window of the Al
pin houae, because Paquet failed to
erect fire eacapes aa required by the
city urdluances. Hhe saya she waa serl
ously Injured, whereby ahe loat $600 ahe
would otherwise have earned in wages
and paid out $-'00 to the doctor. For
fnneral damngea she wants $10,000,
10.100 in ail. 4
The allegations and damages claimed
are in all respects the same aa In the
case filed by Mrs. t oopt r. Paquet
claims that the Alpine house was not
in the clasa upon which fire eacapes
are required, and that the defendants
became frightened and Jumped when
there was no necessity for doing so.
In the caae on trial today Iavld
Wllkle, who waa in the employ of the
city engineer sa an Inspect6r on the
Brooklyn sewer waa struck on the back
by a portion or a bucket of dirt as he
waa standing In the excavation examin
ing the brick work. It Is claimed that
the bucket waa negligently operated.
and as he Is upwarda of 80 yeara of
age the effect upon his health wa
serious. The accident took place at
Twenty-second and Clinton streets, on
block rrom me place where Mrs. Kike-
wine fell. The defense Is based on
the ground that Wllkle knew the dan
ger of hla position and assumed th
risk, and also that he was paid $50 af
ter assuring the defendant s attorney
that he would not bring suit for dam
ages.

LORD CORRECTS
HENEY'S STATEMENT
Portland. Feb. 10. To the Editor of
The Journal The article appearing In
The Journal of February 8, relative to
Mr. Heney's dismissal of an indictment
against myself is based, it appears,
upon a statement of Mr. Heney's, that
I was of unsound mind. If this worn
true it would certainly be a remarkable,
miscarriage of Justice. If it were not
true It would certainly be a mont re
markable excuse for the personal spleen
In which Mr. Heney ao generously in
dulges. The number of applications for a
trial all for Justice appear to be in
the mind of the prosecutor an evidence
of diseased mentality. But there Is no
farallel In United States history where
n Justice has been ao long deferred for
personal reasons as in mis case upon
the part of Mr. Heney. There Is no
other parallel in American history cx
ceotins that in the early history of the
country when the government, In order
to protect Its commerce, hired a mur
derer and cut-throat made famous by
Washington Irvlng's stories of Captain
Kidd.
. I have most religiously sought to ob
tain a trial during the last three years
and as frequently some superclllious ob
jection mado by him has defeated the
ends Of justice. His chnracter is de
serving of 'censure among respectable
and liberty-loving cltltens, his methods
are unscrupulous.

The Portland Commercial club re

of the United States show an Increase
in building permits for January of 108,
as compared with January, 1907, and
Portland waa one of these, and was also
the only city west of the Rocky moun
tains showing an Increase. The aver
age decrease in the 35 cities was 36 per
cent.
A redeeming feature of the building

properties of th Northern Paclflo Ter
minal company in north Portland and of
the Portland c Seattle rallroud in north
Portland, and divide the stock equally
between the Hill and Harrlman inter

was agreed upon between the heads of
the various lines, put when tne details

roso over the manner of transfer of title
or light of control of the Portland 4k
Seattle properties.
Th Hill people wished to transfer
only a lease of certain ground to the re
organised terminal company. Mr. Har
rlman regarded this ground as a vitally
important factor, and Instated that It
should bo aold outright to the consoli
dated terminal company. This la un
derstood to toe th only point of differ

fore the supreme court during his four
years as district attorney of Fifth ju
dicial district was as good as that of
any other public proaecutor in the
state. The four circuit court Judges
of this county have telegraphed to tho
president urging that the appointment
be made.
-Mr. Cleeton Is confident that he will
have the earnest support of not less
than 76 per cent of the Portland bar.
A petition asking the president to make
the appointment Is now being circu

There is a disposition on tb part of
the Baptist ministers to resent the cen
tralisation of all Baptist sctivlti at
McMlnnvllle. Recently tha editorial de
partment of the Pacific Baptist Advo
cate wa moved to the Baptist college
town and now tha editor wlahe to mov
the headquarter there aa well.
The ministers this morning opposed
th proposition on tha grounds that it
would leave the city with no oenter of
activities. It would necessitate the
removal of the Baptist Publication so
ciety and several minor lntereata so that
soma expressed tho fear that Portland
would aoon be a auburn to jucMinnvui,
and that even th pastors of Portland
would aoon open studies there.
An objection wan filed and will be
presented by City Missionary Bentslen.
An effort will also be made to have th
publication society increased in power
and scope and Mr. Hart, who Is in charge
of It, will be instructed to keep on hand
all Baptist publications so 'that Port
land will be the headquarters of the
entire Paclflo coast. Various ministers
signified their willingness to support
such a movement.
' Tho matter of an Interdenominational
Sunday achool census of th city which
is being taken up by the churches, met
with disapproval. Tha Baptists them
selves are conducting slowly such s
census of their own. Disapproval was
grounded on th fact that many who
jiave no cnurcn prererence would not t
open to Invitation from special denom
inations. Mr. Smith of Arleta reported that he
had refused a flattering call to Chicago
at the urgent request of Ms parishion
ers. Mr. Walts of th University Park
said that his church matters were pros
pering well and they were looking for
