Burns to help Burns "fix" th land

iamson and others, and that McArthur
accepted the employment and per
formed the work.
He charges that McArthur during
the legislature of 1915 was an actiVe
lobbyist at Salem throughout the Bes-i
sion, and that he used the Influence
of his position and office as congress
man to further his lobbying, and re
; i ceived remuneration therefor.

Hutton continues in his answer as
follows:
"That C. N. McArthur's suggestion

said C. N. McArthur made an affidavit
which set forth his complicity in said
Jury packing transaction, which waa
considered by said attorney general
Wickersham upon the question as to
whether or not recommendation should
be made to the president of the United

that thereafter Attorney General

Williamsport, Pa.. May 6 Frank
Flook of Lycoming, went fishing for
trout along Little Uapram and caught
a pheasant. He asserts it was the
fault of the bird. As he was tramping
along the stream, he says, he started
up a flock of pheasants. He was
Just casting his line as one of the
fightened pheasants flew close to him
just in time Jo tie caught. In the wing
by the trout 'hook. A sudden Jerk, a
flutter ami the fisherman was minus
his hook, leader and half of his line.
The bird flew awuy into the woods
trailing the line after If.
and we will get Williamson this time,
and by God we will get the whole
d crowd. Old Sladen kicked like
hell because my men worked the
lists over before they went to tne
jury commissioners, but it did not do
the old s of b any good
and the corrected lists went in any
how." '
Bcport Made Under Duress.
" 'Mr. McArthur, it is to be remem
bered, was one of Burns' agents and
furnished many of the reports which
are on file in the department. He
claims, however, that he did so with
great reluctance and under duress and
after much persuasion. He does not
state the nature of the duress, but
am informed is willing to do so If you
insist.
" "I need not go further in a recital
of the high-handed, outrageous con
duct on the part of the officers in the
prosecution of these cases. The gov
ernment cannot properly countenance,
nor is it expedient in these times of
attacks upon courts and the judicial
system of the United States, for It to
lend, its approval to any such pro
cedure. In the light, of the facts as
they appear from the documents and
reports from the department tt does
not seem to me that, any person con
victed of land fraud by the jury drawn
from the box referred to ha4 a fair
trial."
"Bare-Faced Xisues of Machinery."
"That thereafter William H. Taft,
president, received said report from
said Attorney General Wickersham,
and President Taft thereupon wrote to
Attorney General Wickersham true fol
lowing:
" 'I am sorry that I am too much
engaged to give this case more ex
tended consideration. The entire case.
4iowever, shows that the convictions
were brought about by the most unfair
and bare-faced misuse of machinery
for drawing jurors that has ever been
brought toimy attention during my en
tire connection with the federal bench.
The facts justify a pardon and you
will please send me a pardon prepared
for 'my signature.
(Signed) " "WM. H. TAFT.'
"Whereupon a pardon was duly pre
pared, signed and delivered to one of
the defendants."
Ben Bryan of Chicago and New
Tork, member of the big brokerage
firm of Logan & Bryan, tried his hand
at salmon fishing last week for the
first time in his life.
Dressed in his "store" clothes. Just
es if he were about to leave for his
office, he pulled in three beauties be
fore 10 o'clock in the morning.
Every fisherman ln the vicinity of
Jennings Lodge heard of the exploit
and marveled. "Can you beat it?" and
"beginner's luck" were the comments
on all sides.
"I'd give $100 to get those fish back
to Chiiago," exclaimed Mr. Bryan,
happy as a boy with a new glassle.
. William S. MacSwain, chief deputy
United States marshal, who is deeply
versed In the wiles of the salmon,
ct.me to Mr. Bryan's rescue.
"Freeze 'em in blocks of ice." he
suggested. "Ship 'em by refrigerator
express. The fish will reach Chicago
in as good condition as they are now.
They will probably go on the same
train with ycru."
And Mr. Bryan, realizing that th-;
telling of a fish story is improved
by tangible exhibits, followed his advice.

A GENTLEMAN,

BOWERMAN DECLARES
HUTTON OWNS CHARGES.,
MADE BY M'ARTHUR
Discussing the answer of R. P. Hut
ton to Congressman McArthur's suit
against - the superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon . league for $50,000 dam
ages. Jay Bowerman. one of Mr. Mc
Arthurfs attorneys, states that Hut
ton admits- practically everything
that was charged in McArthur's com
plaint. V
"The answer admits," says Mr.
Bowerman, "the publishing of the car
toon circular.; It admits the distribut
ing of these circulars. It admits that
Mr. Hutton knew that liquor was being
imported under the prohib4tion law
and that Mr. Hutton and his associates
had an active part in preparing the
law and a thorough knowledge of its
provisions.
"It is also admitted that the can
didate of the Anti-Saloon league was
instrumental in th framing and pass
age of the law as a member of the
legislature and that Mr. McArthur had
nothing to do with the measure nor
was he a member of the legislature.
The answer does not deny the point
raised in the complaint that the sale
of alcohol by affidavit, and which has
been the cause of a great amount of
intoxication, is in direct conflict with
the constitutional amendment enacted
by the people.
"In the answer denial is made that
therew-as a' conspiracy, yet the an
swer admits that the headquarters
committee of the Anti-Saloon league,
by unanimous vote, resolved to op
pose C. N. McArthur and to support
E. V. Littlefield, and that in further
ance of this conclusion of the head
quarters committee, Hutton prepared
and caused to be circulated the car
toon circular which deliberately mis
represents the facts and Congress
man McArthur."
tt. a. Mcuutchan, .McArthurs cam
paign manager, states: "I have not
had time to examine critically the an
swer filed by R. P. Hutton in the
suit against him by Congressman Mc
Arthur, but a cursory examination
shows that Mr. Hutton has admitted
practically all of the facts upon which
Mr. McArthur bases his suit for libel.
Mr. Huttoji has injected into the an
swer a number of so-called defenses
which are not pertinent to the case
and which are undoubtedly filed for
such political effect as can be de
rived from them in the primary cam
paign. None of the charges are new
and none of them are worth consid
ering." "References to me by Mr. Hutton
In his answer are entirely gratuitous,"
says Ferdinand Reed. "Tne statement
that I. have -asserted that I will be .
appointed United States marshal !s
false. In conversation TtHth Mr. Mc
Arthur we have never discussed an
office, nc-r is there any understand
ing between us. I have never ap
nllid for an Vffk-e and have .no such
IlllClliJUIl.
"It is true that I am supporting
Mr. McArthur as a friend, and for
the same reason that thousands of
fother Republicans give that he has
been ln his seat for but rive montns
and has it had a chance to show
what he can do." -
WOOD - LARK BUILDING,
erected and occupied
exclusively by us.
Building Trades On Strike.
St, Lauis, Mo. May . (U. P.) A
strike of 7000 -vorkers affiliated with
the building trades was called at noon
today. In addition - tp t his, there are
already 450 laborers and hod carriers
outv and 1000 others affiliated .with the

a jurist, one wJ
stands high in the esteem
of his fellow citizens, visited our
store yesterday, the first time since
our occupancy four years -ago. He
is a healthy man, rarely needing medi
cine, little items in our line being pur
chased by other members of his fam
ily. We took him into every depart- '
ment through ten floors. Ofie by one he noted the
activities of a business in formation for a half century.
Said he: "I had no conception there existed in our
midst a stable business fabric so closely knitted into the
daily life of our people. I wonder if others are as ig
norant as I?" We assured him they were, for though
we spend much money and believe in newspaper adver
tising, there are those whose eyes and ears we cannot
reach.
But, listen here is a business unit, incorporated and
financed in our own state, an Oregon institution, owned and oper
ated bv Mr. Clarke and Mr. Woodward, wlio for nearly 35 years have given
personal attention to its every detail, and whose every dollar is invested here,
because they believe it best to center their material efforts in their own city
nd state. As a result, the records for last year show a pay-rolj aggregating
$170,000, with over 200 responsible helpers, taxes of $12,000, and a business
exceeding $1,000,000 in volume.
Woodard, Clarke & Co. is not a department store; it
is more a drug store having beneath its roof every known
and valuable device which bas to do with the relief or cure of htiman ailments,
defects or deformities. Their Prescription Department has dispensed over
1,083,000 prescriptions; their business has to do with the educational life of
our commonwealth, supplying colleges and laboratories with chemicals, appa
ratus and equipment, instruments of precision. In surgery they come . in
helpful contact with the physician, the hospital and sanitarium, the invalid
convalescent, crippled and deformed. This department, occupying one entire
floor, represents an investment of nearly $100,000, one of the largest in the
United States. The Optical manufacturing section employes over a score of
trained, skilled workers, with an output reaching to the Atlantic Ocean. The
Dental section, occupying the, greater portion of the third floor, is without
question one of the best equipped in the United States to meet the demands of
a profession which today ranks among the highest in the preservation of hu
man health.
Strangers who visit Portland really miss one of the
most interesting features of their stay if they fail to visit and inspect
the results of a half century's work, so briefly and poorly set forth in this
message. This is an invitation from the members of the firm to their asso
ciates, to the stranger within our gates and the resident in our city to visit us,
patronize us, open a monthly account with us, and participate in the growth
and life of an institution which belongs to and is verily a part of our state
yes, our great Northwest.
