This was. brought out today in fed eral court during the trial of the cash" ier officials for fraud, through letters read by United States Attorney Reames and written by Menefe. at In dianapolis in December, of 1913, to Gloyd In Portland. In the . letters Menefee appealed to the directors to give him .carte blanche in his work Of organising a new company in ' Indiana to pull the United States "Cashier Out of its difficulties In Oregon. Plans of Financing Business. He explained that he expected, to finance the proposition later by send ing out a large number of stock sales men including- BonneweU and Todd, on" a stock selling campaign. They are co defendants, and formerly were star 'salesmen for the cashier company. - la one of the three communications read in' this connection - Menefee sug , gests that certain salesmen be al lowed to operate In several states "If we can handle the Blue Sky law prop erly. ' - Menef ee, it appears, had been sent " to Indianapolis by the directors to see whether he could find gome capitalist or group of taonied men to take over the United States Cashier ; company and pay its debts and allow Cashier com pany stock owners to have an Inter est In the proposed new concern. After looking over the ground the letters read, today were written. In them Menefee declared that he could find no capitalist and submitted his own counter proposition to tne di rectors. Kara to X.end Them. . ' "On the other hand," he wrote, "we have numbers of small subscriptions and would have no trouble In flntlng out several here who for the sake of getting in on a little of the salve will furnish us with the necessary encour- agement" - - - He summed up the chances of In teresting capitalists in the scheme In - this wise: ,i "They are hard to get near; then their money ts busy or they - would not be good business mens. they Want .In on the ground floor where they can get something for nothing.-and lastly, we have not and never will get them Into this proposition. ' ---?- , He concluded with the- declaration that money oould be raised by selling stock , in the rural : communities and small .towns,- a plan which met with large' success in the west. In this : connection he urged that the new com pany be Incorporated Immediately; so he could start stock selling and meet , pressing .notes against the Cashier company and "square" Its debts.. This . plan wag later followed. Including the - removal of the concern's machinery to Terre Haute, Ind., from Portland, and the organization of the International Money Maohine company on a ' S2,000,000.capltal, of which the Cashier .company owns controlling Interest. . The i "order for 000 lightning .change makers by the Bt. Louis Car company, so widely advertised by the Cashier - company during December, 1912, came in foi" attention the first thing this forenoon.. v - 'Telegrams. Are Bead. , -' Reames read telegrams to " Gloyd from Menefee dated St. Louis, Novem ber 29, 1912, In which Menefee said he ' had closed the deal with the St. Louis Car company for 6000 machines at (25 eachi Reames followed this with a letter written to Gloyd the same day in which he explained that the so . called deal waa made with George J. Kobush. chairman of the board of di rectors of the car company acting ' personally. ft :-:ivv-- ? ;.- Then the contracts with $ Kobush was read. It showed that Kobush was - appointed' sole agent for the lightning change makers and . was to take 6000 machines at 2S each In deliveries " ranging over two shears, but that he was to pay only for those he sold. In short the contract - was nothing ; mope than an agency contract with an . option on that number of ma chines, it was declared. . SewaH's Examination Ends. -. ' Cross examination erf E, .D.

The defense also ' argued - that Bil yeu'S original patent was a basic one and that these - basic principles gov erned the machines advertised in 111, - and for this reason th defendants were acting in good faith when they claimed such protection. On redirect examination by United States Attorney Reames, Sewall stated that the state of the prior act would be limited to the date of the Osborne patent, which was filed In 1891.

Or..' July 31. That a state of Anarchy exists on Rogue river and that -without protection of ' the courts there is danger of a reign of bloodshed, and terror, was the testi mony of Roderick ' Macleay of ' Port land, president o the Macleay estate, owning larse interests in Curry county, given before Judge Coke In chambers last evening. The Macleay eBtate owns 17,000 acres on Rogue river - and operates a big salmon cannery. P. A; Weaborg this season opened an opposition cannery, and it was alleged last July that men fishing for Bea bcrg have trespassed upon the prop erty of the Macleay estate operating tinder the name of the . Wedderburn Trading company. Judge Coke issued an injunction re straining 88 ' persons from trespassing on Macleay property, or harrassing the cannery, -It i now asked that certain fisher men be cited to answer for contempt of court. Macleay testified they had openly violated the injunction : had burned down hier fences, attempted to bum his cannery, put acid on - his nets, and threatened him personally, and that a state of anarchy had been brought about-. Macleay testified that it is not local people who are making trouble but men from the outside, who are attempting to terrorize the community, by taking advantage of its isolation from the rest of the state, and causing, if continued, great: loss to the peti tioner and the community. Judge; Coke cited nine men to ap pear. Wednesday in Coqullle to show cause why they should not be fined for contempt of court, - They are A. D. Wlnegar, Charles Wilson, William Hunter, Alex McLeod, William Ash, A. R. Conger, G. C Le clair, Frank Hoge and W. P. Spenee, who was enjoined last year. BRYAN IS NOT ; ASPIRANT FOR .

When T asked his opinion of the po litical situation of next year, Mr. Bryan- said v'-ty," :'J -':J -:''(;.' i "No - one can speak with ' any cer tainty in regard - to the campaign- of ISIS. It: is difficult to look ahead a year in ordinary: times and these are not ordinary times.

What the future will develop no one can -foresee but the : Democratic party has earned , the confidence of the people and a Democrat has reason, therefore, to . expect a Democratic Victory In 1916." . . Sepahlicans Save "Hope Only. Mr. Bryan was asked about the pros pects of th Republicans, and be re plied: ;- . . . v T They have no prospects. They have Simply possibilities, and these possi bilities depend largely upon Mr. Roose- velt-: If he decides to maintain an in dependent organization andls ellSefTi a candidate himself or supports some other Progressive, the Republican par ty wilt remain divided, and there will be little chance for the suocess of either branch of the Republican party as long as the party is divided. "If Mr. Roosevelt goes back to the Republican, party he will carry back with him those progressive Repub licans who left the party out Of per sonal attachment to him. while the Democratic party can hope to gain tha support 01 u rrogrcuiVM - wt art really opposed to Republicanism as represented by the leadership of: the regular Republican party v v -. .v "The Taft branch of the Republican resa.

They, would turn the tariff law over to the protected . latere ta and would al low hese interests to collect such, trib ute aa they desire. They , would turn the financial system- back Into the hands of Wall - street and let Wall street use it as it desires, and give free : rein .to me private monopolies t which .have preyed upon the public. . Mr. Hoosevelt can strengthen the chances of the standpatter by going back, or jhe can destroy their chances by ton itinuing the progressive Republican or 1 ganixation-.' I am not willing to Ven ture a guess as, to what he intends to do.- v- Hot "Peace at Any Prlee. "Peace at any price" is not Mr. Bry an's ambition. . When asked about his hopes for peace, he said: , . That is the cheap epithet ' used by those who desire war at any cost and who, not being; able to defend their own . policy, seek refuge in misrepre sentation. Thooe who have taken the pains to read what I have said need not - be told that my chief contention is that the 'principle embodied in the SO peace treaties should be applied to any disputes which may arise between us and belligerent nations. : Tribunal To Probe Disputes. "These peace treaties provide that all disputes of every character Shall be submitted to an International tri bunal for investigation and report, and a year's time is given, for the inves tigation and. report. The contracting nations agree that there shall be no declaration of war or: resort to hos tilities during: ' the period of investi gation and report? but all - of ;.- the treaties, provide that the contracting nations specifically reserve the right of independent action after the report has been submitted. - . . "In other words, these treaties are not arbitration treaties at all; they provide only for investigation. The finding of the investigation ' commis sion is not binding- upon . the parties. It is ' possible, therefore, for either party to declare -war at the : conclu sion of the investigation. This is a complete answer to those who accuse the supporters Of ' these treaties of desiring, peace at any price. What we desire is time for the separa tion Of questions of fact from ques tions of honor time for passion - to subside and for reason to resume hr sway time for the peace forces to operate. If investigation and delibera tion fall then war can be resorted to by either side, but it is not likely that war will ever become necessary If the treaty plan is followed. There would be no war in Europe now If they had had a month for investigation and de liberation even a Week would prob ably have prevented war. ; ; "--f iV'v'AMerioa Zs Peacemaker. .' "My second contention; is that even if a year's deliberation -and-investigation should fail to bring about peace ful solution, it woaid be better for us to postpone . final settlement until the European war is over, because entrance into this war would cause greater loss to our nation than a postponement of eettlement. The world looks to 'thia country to become the - peace-maker when the ends of the war comes, and I no g-aln that we can secure by partlci ipation in this war would at all com ; pare With the ; advantages ' which we would gain by being the means of ra the maintenance of permanent peace here after." -; Mr. Bryan had made it plain that if he were to be Interviewed hereafter it must be in a formal manner, with specific Questions submitted to him, to which he might make written answers. This, he pointed out, was as a protec tion to -himself f against the : miscon structions he felt certain would be put upon his remarks by an unfriendly press. . : According,-the' questions put to him were replied to with a stenographer taking down his words. He after ward compared the transcript and made several minor corrections, that what he Intended to say should actual ly be said. . Will Speak to Men. Seattle, July SI. P. N. B.) W. 3.
