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.
"Will the Intelligent voters of Port
land support such a bare-faced fran
chise grab?'
Official Will Hot Talk.

Kawyer, T. Scott Brooke, R. M. Town
send, T. A. Ilnthlcuin, George F. Heus
ner, David Botsford. J. C. Beck and
Oskar Huber.
According to T. A. Ketehum, foreman
of the grand Jury, Mr. Heusner sought
redress from the grand Jury as any
otlor citizen. 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.
