Advertisement Chargred "Grab." A ci rtuin advertisement appearing In the Portland papers for May 27, 1913, and flashed by means of slides on scri-orm at the Kmpreys and Pantagea theatres constitutes the alleged libel according, to the indictments returned. Kach indictment bears a small fac simile sticker of the advertisement. The advertisement Is signed People's Jtlahts League, T. A. Llnthicum, secre tary. The advertisement In question shows a relief map of the Broadway bridge and Broadway with the proposed route for which a franchise was asked. A large, outstretched hand Is displayed at the top while another hand hold In a money sack bearing the "figures "$37;500," is at the bottom. The text reads: Win' you prevent this franchise grab? "George F. Heusner Is trying to put over the sort of a railway franchise grab that every city in the country has been fighting for yearn. "For 137.600! Think what a paltry sum! He wants a 25-year right to eight miles of Portland streets. Including Broadway; a grant that may bo sold afterwards for sev eral millions of dollars. The fran chise as you read It on the ballot has teen redrafted by Mr. IJeusner's attor neys, omitting five of the most vitally Important protective measures con tained in the franchise offered him by the council.

The indictments were prepared by Deputy District Attorney Hammersley at the direction of the Ksrnl Jury. District Attorney Walter H. Kvans refused absolutely to discuss the mat ter this morning, nor would Foreman Ketehum, any more than say that the Indictments earne up In the ordin ary course of grand Jury business and that It was the province of the grand 'urv t" Investigate grievances when they were placed before it. "Instead of merely signing indict ments made out by the district attor ney's off he," said Mr. Ketehum, "we hi vh gone ahend as grand ' Juries are hiipposed to do. and have been doing fur hundreds of years and Investigated grievances where they were laid be iori' us." It Is said !!.t Mr. Ketehum ap peared before the city council on num erous occasions in the Interest of the Heusner franchise and that living on the Peninsula as he does took a strong interest in the proposed car line at the time the franchise fight was on.
