MAY BE RELEASED
Because of a technicality in, the ex
tradition treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, It is possi
ble that William Francis Henderson,
who is wanted in Dublin, Ireland, on a
charge of embezzlement, may be re
leased from the county Jail:, here.
Henderson was given a hearing yester
day afternoon before United States
Commlssionoer A. M. Cannon. At that
time A. L. Veazle, his attorney, showed
.that the timd the English extradition
treaty was made, in 1889, embezzle
ment was only a crime of class, and
Henderson's alleged offense would not
be included in It
At that time, according to the English
statute, embezzlement could be charged
only against a clerk or others who were
employes. Henderson's alleged offense
was committed while he was In the
brokerage business himself. Hamilton
Johnson, who appeared for Acting Con
sul Bernays of the British government,
showed, however, that since the treaty
was made an amendment had been made
to the English statute which makes
anyone liable to the embezzlement
charge.
The question Is so well divided that
Commissioner Cannon took the matter
under advisement, and will render a
decision next week.

A delegation representing the Greater
East Side Federated - clubs -ealled at
Mayor Rushlight's office this morning
to urge the mayor to uSe his Influence
In having registration booths Installed
in each ward on the east side of the
river. In tha absence of the mayor the
delegation was received by Acting Sec
retary W. A. Tupper, who assured the
visitors that he would present their re
quest to the mayor.
The east eiders then visited County
Clerk Coffey to ask his cooperation tn
the proposed establishment of booths.
Mr. Coffey referred the request to the
district attorney for an opinion as to
whether the registration of voters can
be made elsewhere than the county
court house. If the opinion is favorable
the county clerk expressed his willing
ness to send deputies over to the popu
lation centers of the various east side
wards to take the registration.
"Our proposal," said A. N. Searle, a
member of the delegation, "is the only
solution we can see to the problem of
how to get out the votes of working
people. These people cannot find time
td make a trip to the court house before
or after working hours and as a conse
quence, unless they can register In the
vicinity 'of their homes, the total regis
tration for the primaries, we believe,
will fall short 20 per cent of what It
should be."

the Federated clubs is T. A. Sweeney.

New Bill Providing for Uniform
System for State and Coun
ties Will Go Into Effect Next
Year.
: ' (Saiem Burets of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., March 15. Beginning with
the first day of next year the hap
hazard systems, or rather lack of sys
tems, of keeping public accounts will be
relegated to the rear in Oregon. They
will become a thing of the past through
the operation of the law passed by the
recent legislature providing for the
adoption Qf a uniform system of ac
counting in all state and county offices
and institutions.
The law,. which was drafted by Gov
ernor Westi Is broad and full of teeth,
Its administration is placed In the hands
of the state Insurance commissioner,
who, after he prepares and installs a
uniform system of accounting. Is re
quired to make annual audits of all the
books and accounts of every state and
county 8 official, of all . institutions,
boards and commissions, and everyone
else who has anything to do with .the
expenditure of publlo money. Not an
official Is missed, from the highest, to
the lowest , ,
System to Be Simple.
"What we need Is the simplest possi
ble system that will be effective in
keeping a complete check on all funds,"
said Insurance, CommiBHloner Ferguson,
who holds a membership In ths Ameri
can Association of Publlo Accountants
and also In the Oregon State Society of
Public Accountants. "We want a system
that everybody can understand."
Provision is made in the law for the
remainder of this year to be spent in
devising the system and preparing for
its 'Installation In all publlo offices,
where Its use Its obligatory. It ts stated
that this will be the first time In the
history of the state that the publlo will
be in position to know at all times the
where, the how and the why of the ex
penditure of public funds.
Authority Is Great
The expense of auditing the books of
state officials and Institutions will be
bourne by the state and of auditing the
books of county officials by the county.
The Insurance commissioner may also
supervise the auditing of the books of
school districts, cities, road districts or
ports providing that definite assurance
is made that the expense Of the work
will be paid by the city or district.
'The state Insurance commissioner is
authorized to Issue subpenas, swear
witnesses and take testimony In relation
to any of the matters provided for In
this act, and for such purposes shall
have the same authority, to be- exer
cised In the same manner, as a Judge of
the circuit court," says the law, thus ap
parently giving the commissioner ample
authority.
IL PAY TRIBE
Many ministers will tomorrow pay
high tribute to the memory of David
Livingstone, the noted African explorer,
who was bom March 19, 1813, and whose
centennial will be an event of the com
ing week.
The life of Livingstone was devoted
to carrying on religious work In darkest
Africa, and It was dus to his efforts
more than of any other single worker
In the African missionary fields that
headway with the natives was ever
made.
Hating the white men because they
came to Africa to steal the negroes for
slaves, they turned cold shoulders on
Livingston as he attempted to get Into
their good graces, until through his per
sistent efforts he made himself known
as their friend.
Livingston first sailed for Africa on
December 8. 1840. .He discovered Vic
toria Falls in 1856. From 1868 to 1864
he was. British consul to the Portuguese
possessions, and in 1864 he made a trip
to India.
In 1865 he was appointed British con
sul to Africa, and he remained there
until his death, May 1, 18.73. He was
buried in Westminster abbey nearly a
year later.
Practically every minister In the city
will devote either one sermon tomorrow
or the following Sunday to eulogizing
this noted worker. Announcements of
the sermons are to be found In the pro
gram of church services published on
this page.

Thousands: Hear Eva Booth
Tell Story of Growth of
Movement. ' .
How ths Salvation Army came to Til
organized, ths struggles of Its early
members to spread its doctrines and 1
their success in spite of persecution,
and the life story of her father, the fa
mous William Booth, founder of the
great movement, and of her mother,
were told to a large audience at the
Lincoln high school last night by Com
mander Evangeline Booth, head of the '
Army in America.
The audience was of such size that
the lower hall was completely filled,
and only standing room was left In the t
galleries. Between 2000 and 2500 per- '
sons attended the lecture and showed
their sympathy and deep interest by fre
quent clapping and by generous contrl-,
button when a collection- was taken
after the lecture . '
Miss Booth told with much feellmy of
the early days of the Army after Its
founding In 1866 by her father, who leti
his church that he might help the poor ,
of London.
After the movement had become ,ait
assured success, her father's ; first ,
thought was to call it the Volunteer
Army, she said. But after writing the
nanie thus, he crossed out' the word ;
Volunteer and substituted Salvation
for It. because, he said. It stpod for the
salvation of men. ,
"And ao, as it was an army, my father
decided that its members should wear a
uniform." said Miss Booth, "not, alone
that they should be neatly clad and uni
formly dressed, but to let the world'
recognize them as persons who had set
themselves apart ' to make their life
work the serving of God and men."
Many illustrations,, of scenes in Lon
don's crowded quarters of the poor
where William Booth and his wife went
after converts, and of different noun- -trlea
where the banner of the Salvation
Army has been successfully carried, ,
were thrown on the screen as Miss
Booth talked. -
Commander Booth was Introduced by
'Commissioner Estill. Directly after the
lecture she and members of her staff
who are accompanying her on this leo
ture tour -of the coast departed for Be-"
