Tells Situation
Goodman, Portland Lawyer,
!s Subject to Attack
By Tom Kay
Articles published In the Port
land Telegram. In which Errln
Goodman. Portland attorney,;! at
tacked the Oregon state peniten
tiary and Its management, were
branded as rreatly exaggerated
by Harold Campbell, an Inmate of
the institution, who was one oi
the principal witnesses called by
Goodman In connection with the
investigation of the prison here
yesterday. I
The Investigation was request
ed by Goodman, who alleged that
he had evidence tending to show
that brutalities had been practic
ed on inmates of the institution
for a number of years.
Rations, Blankets, Both
Held Adeanate in "Ball Fen" j
Camnbell testified that j he
served approximately 137 days in
the prison "bull pen," and later
was transferred to the institution
hospital for medical treatment.
He said he then was returned to
the "bull pen" where he remained
""ToT period of 10 months. Camp
bell said he received satisfactory
rations while in the "bull pen."
and that he had plenty of blan
kets to keep him warm and com
f ortable.
U n o n eroas-examinatlon by
Governor Norblad the witness tes
tified that he had been treated
fairlr by the penitentiary offici
als, and that he had no serious
cnmnlalnt to offer. Goodman
had charged that Campbell was a
rrinnla and that his long m car
ceration in the bull pen" had
proved detrimental to hla health
and had broken his spirit.
John Kohler, who was released
from the penitentiary last Satur
day after serving a term of three
years for forgery, testified as to
alleged brutalities in the institu
tion. Kohler alleged that while
he was employed, in the meat de
partment of the prison be engag
ed in an altercation with a guard
with the result that he was hand
cuffed to a cell door and later
incarcerated in the "bull pen."
The witness also testified that
when he faltered tn front of the
cell door he was struck a severe
blow on the head by George Wat
son, negro trusty, who had charge
of the fish cells.
Kohler admitted that he pre
viously was convicted on a fel
ony at Kelso, Wash., and served
a term In the reformatory ot that
state, penitentiary records show
that he also was arrested at Con
don, eastern Oregon, on a charge
of contributing to the delinquency
of a minor.
Watson, Negro Inmate
Kays Kohler Is Insane
, Watson Injected humor into
the Investigation when he declar
ed that Kohler was Insane and
should be sent to the state hospi
tal for the insane. Watson denied
striking Kohler, and added that
Kohler had never at any time
been chained to a cell door or
confined in the "bull pen."
Eugene Halley, deputy warden,
denied emphatically that Kohler
had been chained to a cell door
or had been Incarcerated in the
Institution "bull pen." "There
was not a word ot truth In Koh
ler's testimony, declared Halley.
Halley! testimony was corrober
ated by Sol Warden and other pri
son officials. Both Halley and
Warden declared that as far as
they knew no inmate of the pri
son had been chained to a cell
door since Henry Meyers became
superintendent of the institution
three years ago..

been an agitator in the prison and
had caused other convicts trou

Van Winkle Holds Recla

Not Give Lease
California-Oregon Power
Co. Balked by Lilje-

j
The state reclamation commis
sion has no authority to grant
the application of the California
Oregon P"ower company for a
permit to appropriate 1500 sec
ond feet of water from the
Klamath River, at the Grant pow
er site, according to an opinion
handed down here Friday night
by I. H. Van Winkle, attorney
general.
The application involving the
Grant power site was one of five
filed on the Klamath river by
the power company. It was pro
posed to utilize the waters appro
priated for power development.
The application for the water
appropriation at the Grant site
brought a large number of pro
tests, with the result that a pub
lic hearing was held In Salem.
Large delegations from Klamath
county and other sections of
Southern Oregon attended.
In the course of the hearing.
L. J. Liljequlst, representing the
attorney general, declared that
the state reclamation commis
sion had no power to grant the
application. He gave as his rea
son that an act of 19 OS whereby
the state ceded to the federal
government the waters of Upper
Klamath Lake Included a provl
sion that the waters of Klamath
Lake were not available for ap
propriation by any parties other
than the United States until re
lease had been signed by the pro
per government officials.
The attorney general's opinion
shows that no such -release has
ever been given, and that the
state reclamation commission
therefore has no authority to
grant the application of the Cal'
itornia-Oregon Power company.
The only rights available to
the power company is 205 sec
ond feet of water on Linkriver
which It already owns. The opt
ion was Requested by Governor
Norblad.

big-hearted Brooklyn baker,
wanted to do his share to
ease the suffering of the ww
employed. So he baked 800
loaves of bread today and
set out ot give them -away.
. At the state employment
agency in Brooklyn where
men and women were
storming the doors for Jobs,
he disposed of only SO
loaves. Then ho went to the
Sand street section, one of
the poorest in the borough.
Bat even there it was hard
to find takers.
The baker had 450 loaves
till undistributed when he
met a woman who said she
had a large family.
"Take Q whole armful."
he urged.
"Xo," she demurred,
"what -ood 1 bread without
butterr'-
Wistosky didn't know the
answer. He returned home
with hla 450 loaves.
