The Booth Jury waa com-
pleted -this afternoon by the ac
ceptaace of Daniel W. Wenne- 4)
berg, of Portland. Owing to the '
fact that . tha attorneya wera ;
not ready for tile opening argu 4
menta and prfmarUy because of
the death of Ex-president Grover

" iourned the court until tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, v It ! was
announced by the court that the
trial would consume four daya
and the Jury , panel .waa excused
until : Wedneaday next at 10
o'clock. . , ,'
Eleven men chosen and one man half
chosen was the record of the federal
court up to noon today where the at
torneys ; for tha - government and for
the defense are wrestling with tha task
of selecting "IS unbiased men to say
whether James Henry Booth did or did
not receive money for Advance informa
tlon regarding valuable lands wanted by
Frederick A. Kribe. With 10 men who
had passed the entrance requirements
as Jurymen sitting in the box j this
morning Judge Webster and General
Backer continued the examination 11
search of the remaining two.
Complete jury Today.
tj rivanitr a Portland man con
nected with tha Columbia Woolen Mills
store, had oeen put in the box for his
vnmination vesterdav afternoon. - He
said this morning that he had a num
ber of friends who had been mixed up
in the land cases and waa challenged
temporarily by the def ensa. -
Clarence C. Tripp, a buyer for Wad
ams and Kerr of Portland a as the next
man and he passed the tests, being ac
cepted by both aides and thus leaving
Only one vacancy to be filled.
Ferry Tomltnson said he knew Heney
and considered him to be an abU man
and was challenged peremptorily. by the
defense, - .: ' ' . '
Daniel W. Wenneberg, a warehouse
man of Portland, was the next man up
and after an exhaustive exsmlnatlon
by Judge Webster was accepted by the
defense? General Becker for the gov
ernment was not sura at noon that he
wanted the man as a Juror and asked
leave to continue his examination dur
ing the opening of the afternoon ses-,
eion of the court It Is probable, how-j
ever., that Mr.; Wenneberg will ? com-;
. .plete ha' Jury. ! V.- :sj
- According to tha prognostlcatlona of
both the government and the defense the
Booth cae should be closed, so far as
alimony la concerned, by Saturday
-mon or by the evening at the latest
In thr.t ease the arguments would be
completed Monday or . Tuesday and the
cose sent to the Jury.. Tbe evidence Is
largely documentary 1 on the govern
ment s side,-while the defense calculates
that one day will suffice for the pre
sentation of its sida f tha argument ; .
Heney end Barns Coming. .
v The defendant, James Henry Booth,
will in all probability toe the chief wit
ness for the defense, while Frederick
. s i?rih who la sutDOS?d to have paid
' the money to Booth, which action re
sulted -in the Indictment, will be promi
nent on the stand for the government. .
Francis J. Heney and J William J.
nl alun ha witnesses in rebuttal
for the ' government, should they be
needed. Both men have been ; asked to
come bv Ueneral iiecaer. ana it is ex
pected that Burns will leave San Fran
rlsrn for Portland tonight , it is ex
pect that Heney will reach Portland
by Saturday morning to be present dur
ing the presentation of the defense. - The
reason for this is that the government
expects to use Thomas B. Neuhausen
ns a witness, against Booth. Should
Booth, while on the stand, contradict
Neuhausen's testimony the government
wants to hava Burns and Henev present
no rebut the testimony or tne aerenaant
It Ik ex nee ted that the opening argu-
met,ta by the government and the de-
fenne will IM compietea mis ariernoon.

Surpassing In audacity any series of
crimes with which the Portland police
hiva bad to deal for a long time, the
thefts of rooming. and apartment houses
continues. The detectives are working
on several good clues, and as the men
composing the nervy gang have been

a good chance of their being picked up
on description and identified.
The cheekiest - theft of all was that
committed at 1(7 Kleventh atreet yes
terday afternoon, reported to the police
by Edward Hall, an insurance man.
Nonchalantly walking up on the porch
of tha apartment house, the imitator of

The Temporary Inj unction
Granted Somo Days Since
I Is Dissolved by Order of
Judge1 GantenbeJn Sa
? loons Will Close Doors.-
St Johns soon will be a - dry town.
Presiding Judge Gantenbelnln the clr
mu niirt this mornlnr dissolved tho
temporary Injunction ha previously had ,
Issued, by which tha county court. wast
restrained from declaring tha result of j
the recent local option election In pre
clnct No. 81, and as soon as tha county
court receives off icial notlca of this
action the drouth will be on. 4 '
There remains pending In the cir
cuit court autt for permanent In
Junction, brought In .tha name of Ed
Magoon, a saloonkeeper of St Johns,
who alleges that his business will bs
damaged beyond repair If tha prohibi
tion lid is applied. To this, auit tha
Srohlbs will have to make answer or
emur, and the case will take the usual
course In the courts. Meantime, un
less some new move Is made by the
saloon Interests, the doors of the thirst
quenchers must be closed. ,
Judge Qantenbeln rejected the claim
of the liauor Interests that precinct 89
could not be lawfully Included, with- the
two el. jonns precincts in a vow uu
local option.. First of all he overruled
the contention that the oueBtlon could
only be properly raised on demurrer,
and that a motion to dissolve the In
junction could not -be heard. He held
that a motion to dissolve was proper.
It waa argued by the liquor interest
attorneya that because Precinct 89 held
an election and went dry two years
ago it could not be joined with other
precincts in a subdivision until It had
separately voiea una gone wet i
uhKeouent election. This . theory of
the matter was drawn from section 14,
of the local option law, the question
turning on the Interpretation of the
word ' suoaivision.-'
Judge Gantenbeln referred to section
1 of . the same act In which Is given a
definition of subdivision," declaring
that a subdivision may consist of two
or as many more precincts as may de
sire to unite In voting on tha question of
prohibition. Judge Gantenbeln aald that
to his mind It is clear that tha framers
of the local option law Intended to dis
criminate between "precinct" and "sub
division." Whether this is Just or not
Is Something with which tha court does
not deal, said Judae Gantenbeln. but he
Is convinced that a subdivision must in
every -case be composed of two or more
fireclneta. - He therefore held that the
nclusion of precinct 89 with tha St.
Johns precincts was not a violation of
the law.'
Several St. Johns people wera present
In the courtroom to hear tha decision.
and as tha deciding words were pro
nounced one of tha more enthusiastic
cold water men exclaimed. "Good". In
very: audible, tones.-
Commissioner LlKhtner stated after
learning of the decision that, tha county
court proDamy win - aeciare me restiii
and enter the usual order r abolishing
the saloons in 91. as soon" as official
notice of the decision Is received. Eight
saloons win go out or ousiness as a
result.

East Side Organization Has
Difficulty Deciding Upon

Owing to tha number of Important
ttvlo questions 5 now' before the people
of tba East Sida tha Federated East
Side clubs decided that It would be
Inadvisable to . adjourn ' tba organiza
tion at this time and consequently, the
regular sessions will be continued 'for
a time at least " . ,, - .'
Judara Munlev. chairman of . tha
boulevard 7 committee, - reported last
night to the Club that hia committee
had met twice and discussed the pro
posed plans for . making a series of
great tiiorougfirares on tne east siae
of the river. He said that the exten
sion of Grand avenue from river to
river had been found, upon Investiga
tion, to be Impracticable. t
Residents beyond. Hancock street' for
14 - blocks, aa far as Fremont street
are opposed to tha plan . for tha rea
son that they already have a wide
boulevard In Union avenue which runs
from Hancock street to the confines
of tha city.: -,.:..,... ,.-
"To remove buildings and extend
Grand avenue through tha area ob
structed now," continued the judge,
"would cost in tba neighborhood of
$600,000, and this is mora . than tha
east side can afford." .
Tha compromise suggested by the
committee Is this: Where Grand ave
nue ends It la proposed? that-tha city
buy a block on Hancock street . and
make a bend to the next block, ' thus
connecting Union and Grand avenues
and accomplishing the original purpose
of having one wide thoroughfare from
the Willamette to the Columbia river.
Tha cost of doing this would ba com
paratively small . as compared to the
beneflta which would bo received by
property ownera. -
Tha committee also suggests the
building of a diagonal street paralleling
the Sandv road and extending from the
Country club to the proposed high
bridge. This would make rapid transit
from tha suburbs a reality. Tha ad
vantages of a single wide highway from
the outskirts to the business center- are
too great to be estimated now. In the
optnion of the committee.
Tha building of . another . diagonal
thoroughfare cutting Grand avenue and
extending out beyond the city to Fair
view waa also considered. Dr. Deveny
waa added to tha present . committee.
His object . will ba to Investigate the
feasibility of extending Bast Glisan

Ordinance Forbidding Their
Presence in Saloon -Will
r Very Probably Be Put to
Sleep in Council, Health
and Police Committee.
That tha ordinance prohibiting woman
from entering saloons will not pass tha
council this afternoon is predicted by
all who have watched the progress of
tha measure and efforts ara being made
to, secure a representation of eitlsens
to attend the meeting to' urge the coun
cllrneh to pass the measure. - Council
man Beldlng is leading tha fight against
the measure and 4a assisted toy Councils
iu.ii xvuvanouo. ' - - -
When ; the measure comes ' ud this i-
afternoon Balding will move to refer It
to tha committee on health and DOllce.
of which Concannon is chairman. Onoa .
in Concannon s committee tha measure '
will never sea light of day again. While
these men ara leading tha fight against
tha jneasure. which, it is .claimed -by .
City Attorney Kavanaugh and. other
lawyers will-: prevent 1 women from
entering saloons, they ara well backed .
and It Is probable, that only Council
men Bennett Cellars, Drlscoll and Wills
Will vote for the meaaura. . -
That women wera the cause of most
of the trouble arising in saloons Is tha :

impression was gained from the evl- '
dence introduced at tha great white
washing meetings of the liquor license
committee last winter. At that tlma
tha members of the Retail Liquor Deal
ers' association also favored the pas
saga of an- ordinance which would pre"
vent women xrom entering aajoons.
These men hava also had a change of
heart and are now said to ba actively
working against tha passage of . tha
measure. ' Tha real - power behind ' tha
throne which la opposing tha ordsnanoa
Is aald to be composed of tha brewery
owners In Portland. It is alleged that
these men realise that such an ordinance
would deprive them of thousands of dol
lars every month and that they hava
prepared an active campaign against
the measure. .
Councilman Beldlng claims that tbe
ordinance doea not reach the real evil. .
He claims that restaurants ara allowed
to maintain their liquor c licenses and
that they ara the places where young
girls and women acquire tha drinking
babit which later carries them down.
Beldlng's reasons, however, are claimed
to ba such that would not lead him
to lead the fight against tha measure.
What Concannon's interesta ara nobody
knows. He saya that the ordinance la
not a good one and wanta U killed.
He said today that If it came to his
committee it would stay there. ,
Councilmen Vaughn and Wallace ara
out of town and the remaining members
n tha onnncll who have a vote on the
measure are Annan. Baker, Menefee,
Cot tel.. Rushlight Kellaher and Dun
ning. None of these men are favorable
to the present ordinance. It la said, and
they will not vote for it thle afternoon
unless the discussion becomes too warm
for them to withstand the' expressions
of public sentiment ' ' - -
The ordinance waa reported upon fa
vorably by tha-committee on ' Judiciary
and elections this morning and the ra
port adopted, ' but when 1 tha ordtnanea
comes up for final passage a different
