"Forces of Reaction Encountered
By Progressive Leader in 1912
Again in Front Line," Immense
Crowd at Long Beach Is Told.
y Herbert W. Walker
Long Beach, Cal., Sept. 21. (U.
P.) Speaking at the very edge of
the waters of the Pacific here to
day Governor James M. Cox de
clared that the forces of reaction
which Theodore uooaevelt fought
in 1912 have "again moved into the
front trench of the. Republican
party."
The, governor asserted that big busi
ness causes radical movements when
"it seems to control government as-en
cles In order to gain special privileges
and oppress the people."
Comparing the league of Nations
and the Monroe doctrine, he said :
"The Monroe doctrine says there shall
be no external aggression against South
America, and the league ay there
must be no external aggression In all
the world."
Iong Beach gave- Cox a remarkable
reception. Piobably 7500 people were
jammed Into a beach auditorium, and
almost as many more -were unable to
gain admission. He made a short
speech to the overflow crowd.
A group of Civil war veterans had
eats of honor and often led In the ap
plause. Cox, In Ms first speech before the
California Editorial association today,
again attacked part of the Republican
press.
'The publisher must seek to serve and
not deceive the public." Cox said.
He advocated that every paper take
as complete a presa association service
as possible.
"The great mistake of the small dally
is insufficient press service," he said.

P.) Elimination of profiteering by
"moral force" a huge revolving
fund placed in th hands of the
president by congress with author
ity to purchase supplies to prevent
extortionate prices was suggested
by Governor James M. Cox here to
day. Cox previously suggested that this
method be used to prevent sugar 'profi
teering, but has decided it could be ex
tended to all commodities. Cox's view
is few purchases would have to be made,
but the "moral force" of the president
having such power would eliminate profi
teering. "It would be like the musket
behind the door," he said.
MEXICAN QUESTION UP
The Mexican question was expected to
come to the forefront as Cox travels
eastward across New Mexico and Arl
xona tomorrow, and he Is prepared to
meet it by referring to the Democratic
platform. His personal view is the
United States should cooperate with the
present regime in Mexico in its effort
to establish itself firmly and formally
recognize It when proof has been given
of ability.
The Democratic "nominee now is di
recting an attack on that part of the
Republican press, "which, taking orders
from the senatorial oligarchy, is su
pressing news of his campaign."
"I don't care what they say about me
editorially," he said, "but I challenge
them to present the news of both aides
of the case to the jury of the Ameri
can people,"
HITCHCtCX RESERVATIONS
Cox now is telling his audience in dis
cussing the treaty he is willing to ac
cept Senator Hitchcock's reservations.
These, he claimed, give reassurances of
protection of every American interest
without injuring the pact
Today Cox was to motor to Long
Beach for an eHtriy morning speech and
then address' California editors and
women's clubs here before starting east.
The governor Monday made one of
his most emphatic pronouncements on
the prohibition question.
"The eighteenth amendment ia going
to be enforced,' he said. "You have
people come to you and say. "Cox is all
right on the league, but he's a little
damp,' " the governor continued. "When
I take my oath to enforce the law next
March I'm not going to violate it" '
He was given a big hand when, in
referring to the dramatic sentiment of
the Polish-Lithuanian dispute, he said
that the league already is preventing
war. i
Cox declared also that he favors a
tariff to protect the Southern Califor
nia growers against Italian competition.

INDICTED
FOR KILL
OF HEDDERLY
Wood, Biggins, Smith, Morris
And Jackson Held for Involun
tary Manslaughter; Bail for
Patrolman Jackson Is $4000.
The five prohibition agents who
were involved in the killing of Rob
ert W. Hedderly the night of Sep
tember 10 were indicted on the
charge of involuntary manslaugh
ter by the Multnomah county grand
jury this morning. The five men
indicted are W. R. Wood, J. J. Big
gins and Delazor C. Smith, federal
ageits, and E. Jackson and Wil
liam D. Morris of the Portland po
lice force.
Bail of $4000 was set In the case of
Jackson, who was the only one pf the
raiders who refused testimony before
the coroner's Jury. The others must
furnish 2000 bail each.
Pending the result of the grand Jury
Investigation, Morris and Jackson were
first demoted by Chief of Police Jenk
ins and later suspended by Mayor
Baker. The coroner's jury exonerated
the men, but recommended discipline for
overhasty use of firearms.
Hedderly was ambushed by federal
and police dry law enforcers at a room
ing house near Union avenue and East
Stark streets on information that he
was about to deliver liguor. When Hed
derly drove up In .his automobile, the
agents surrounded to arrest him. Hed
derly, however, threw his car into gear
and started away, a fusillade of shots
following him. Two of these took ef
fect, one piercing his head, and one In
flicting a shoulder wound. Hedderly
died at a hospital a day later.
It has never been definitely estab
lished whose gun Inflicted the fatal
wound. It appeared, however, that
either of two might have been responsi
ble. The Indictments hold all five par
ticipants In the raid under the same
charge.
The grand Jury further reported to
Presiding Judge Taiwell six not true
hills and three secret indictments. Tru-
bills were found as follows: George
Mulr. charged with knowingly uttering
and publishing a forged check, two in
dictments ; Richard Brooks, statutory
charge ; Michael Dixon, statutory
charge; Raleign J. Snyder, statutory
charge ; Ralph M. Brady, Involuntary

In the recent order of the Interstate
Commerce commission will empty

by barring western lumber from

Railroad traffic heads of five trans
continental lines listened unresponslvely
to the argument and the hearing con
cluded at the Arlington club after
o'clock with the lumbermen in no en
couraged frame of mind. The railroad
position was that the rates are not the
determining factor in the depression of
the lumber market. ,
But the railroad representatives
elected this morning to go into informal
executive session to consider the prob
lem exclusively from the railroad point
of view.
In the meantime the directors and ex
ecutives of the WeA Coast Lumbermen's
association continued their conference
and the arrangement was that both
groups would reconvene at the Arling
ton club this afternoon. An announce
ment of agreement to adjust the trans
continental lumber rates or to agree to
disagree was expected to follow the
day's Joint session. ,
The lumbermen do not ask for rates
as low as were in effect before the inter

SURETY PAYSiOSS
OF STATE IN BANK
The National Surety company,
through E. P. Welch, its manager in
Portland, today forwarded its check
for $4000 to the state treasurer in
payment of the obligation assumed
by the- company in protection of the
state's deposit of J4000 in the de
funct Bank of Jacksonville.
The state treasurer hsd 14000 in state
funds on deposit with the Jacksonville
bank when it was closed. This sum was
protected by the surety bond of the
National Surety company furnished by
the bank to the treasurer.
In making payment at this time the
surety company by assignment of the
state treasurer becomes subrogated to
Che claim of the state so that it will
recover whatever proportion of the state
money may be finally paid in the liqui
dation of the bank.
The surety company also has a bond
for $3000 in the hands of the county
treasurer of Jackson county held there
as collateral security for the county de
posit. In articles previously written re
garding the security held by"lhe county
treasurer it has been Bhown that the
bank had depositied securities totaling
$11,000 to secure the county deposit of
more than $107,000. Of this $11,000 it
has been discovered that $3000 waa rep
resented by the bond of the Na
tional . Surety company, $3000 was in
Liberty bonda, whjle the remaining $5000
consisted of improvement bonds of the
City of Jacksonville, owned by the city
and not by the bank.
The appearance of the National Surety
company bond In the list of collateral
held by the county guarantees that the
$107,000 of county money la protected by
that sum at least, even should it prove,
as has been suspected, that the Liberty
bonds on deposit were not fh fact the
property of the bank.
