seasiot. not counting the hour talc
en off for dinner, brought forth &
medley of testimony, with La
Rondo M. Pierce, one of tht main
witnesses, sandwiched In wherever
convenient. Ha was twice asked
to retire while other witnesses were
heard.
Su bjtcl To Censure
One vital conclusion was reach
ed, agreed to by all members of
the committee. In the words of
Chairman 3arland this was:
"We are all satisfied from the
evidence that Mr Cleaver has been
too active politically, and Is sub
ject to our censure. So In this In
vestigation we will not again con
sider the question of politics."
Most of the testimony sbout pol
Hies came from anti-Cleaver wit
r.esHes, however, and Cleaver Is to
be questioned by some members
on that subject. Senator Eddy said
ne wanted to question him about
his connection with the La Follette
movement.
Aside front Cleaver's assertion
that .i was controlled by Govern
or Pierce and llerwi;, and the
committee's decision that Cleaver
has Indulged In politics In an un
becoming manner, other important
phases of yesterday's Inquiry were:
Introduction In evidence of a let
ter written by Cleaver to District
Attorney Toiikuc of Washington
county showing Cleaver's attitude
toward local officials.
Llmllle's Testimony
Testimony by Dr. J. A. Llnvllle.
federal prohibition director for
Oregon, refuting the testimony ali
en Wednesday by Virginia B.
Washburn, which appeared to flat
ten Mrs. Washburn's testimony
considerably.
Testimony by La Ronda M.
Pierce that ho had been aent to
Deschutes county by Cleaver, with
the sanction of Governor Pierce,
co woric against local officers po
I Ideally.
Introduction by Hare of an af
fidavit purported to have been
made by Abe Weinberg, showing
that Victor Hugo. Weinberg's as
sistant In an Investigation for the
Anti-Saloon league, had patronized
a house of prostitution run by
Martha Lord In Portland, Hare
declared Hugo had spent state
money there.
i ne iirst witnesses called were
three Portland ministers. Rev. Mr.
Caughey, representing the minis
terial association. Rev. 8. E. Du
Bola and Rev. W. L. Riley. AU
spoke In favor of retaining the
state prohibition law. but did not
mention Cleaver. Dullois and Riley
emphasized tho need of coop era
tlon with loeaU officers.
Rev. Joe R. Benton, who was
an agent for Cleaver in Douglas
counly. defended his record, refut
ing testimony that had previously
been put In by Sheriff Sam Star
rner of Roseburg.
tHiKrnte Willi UsM
The letter that had been written
by Cleaver to District Attorney
Tongue was Introduced by Senator
Hare. An excerpt from this let
ter, road by Hare, was substan
tially In those words: "Some offi
cers' In Oregon are moonshiners.
Some are bootleggers. Some are
nice fellows around home, but
come to Portland for their parties.
The purpose of this office will be
to expose these facts to tbe pub
lic. Tho law does not require this
office to cooperate with you, but
you with us. Note the difference."
Another excerpt stated that "You
will some morning find a lot of
your prominent citizens under ar
rest and you will then know that
the now prohibition commissioner
is doing his duty."
Hare explained that this letter
was a reply to a letter that had
been written by Tongue to Gov
ernor Pierce, complaining that
Cleavcr'a men were coming Into
Washington county and operating
without notifying him.
During a lull in the proceedings
CJeaver was given an opportunity
to explain a letter Introduced the
preceding day written by him to a
woman operative in Albany and
advising her how to get evidence
on the Abbey hotel in Newport.
Cleaver denied that he had at
tempted to have the woman
"frame" on Mr. Abhey.
Diameter of Agents
District Attorney Liewelllng of
Linn county flayed Cleaver for the
character of agent employed by
named Roy, who prior to working
for Cleaver had been employed by
him. Ho declared that Roy had

hlni. He cited mainly an agent
committed perjury In order to con
let one defendant and had offer
ed to do so in another case. An
other time, he said, Roy had in
covered for two newspapermen Im
plements in the county Jail which
were represented by blm to have
been cached by the slayers of
Sheriff Dunlap. Liewelllng said
ho was satisfied the tools had been
cache J by Roy for political pur
poses. Later, Llewe'.llng said,
Cleaver wanted him to have Roy
appointed deputy sheriff In Linn
county so he could make the counJ
ty his residence and run for
sheriff, and because he would not
do it the witneps said Cleaver and
Roy conspired to have htm defeat
ed for office.
Senator Eddy hammered Llewell
Ing vigorously for not notifying
Cleaver of the character of Roy
before Cleaver employed him, and
wanted to know If he fallel to do
It to protect his own pslltlcal pres
tlge.
'To protect myself an.1 al30 pre
serve respect for the prohibition
law."
Other ai;ents were mentioned
who, Ltewelling said, were of simi
lar character, one William Wilkie
having a record In the state prison.
He declared Cleaver tried to per
suade the people of the county
that the district attorney was a
wet sympathizer.
Llnvllle Denies All
Victor Oliver, justice of the
peace at Albany testified that In
his opinion only S or 10 per cent
of th search warrants used by
Cleaver's men were effective In
bringing arrests and convictions.
For an hour or more Dr. Llnvllle
smilingly refuted the testimony
given the previous day by Mrs.
Washburn, denying that he had
asked her ot spread propaganda
against the state department, or
that he had ever In any way re
ceived protection money from law
violators. He was quizzed close
ly by Eddy and Hurlburt whether
he had recommended to the
sheriffs' convention In Portland
the abolition of the state depart
ment, and denied It; also whether
he had spoke In disapproval of the
department, and replied "Not pub
licly." Asked If he had stated to the
sheriffs that he would not coop
erate with the state department, he
replied:
"Under Its present management
aid method of operation, yes." He
explained that he would not be al
lowed to do so by the head of the
federal department.
Frank Mitchell, attorney for
Llnvllle, was again called and re
futed testimony given by Mrs.
Washburn.
Carl Green, a special state agent
who works under District Attorney
Stlpp In Clackamas county, testi
fied in behalf of the state depart
ment. St armor Called Again
Sheriff Starmer of Roseburg
was again called, presenting affi
davit to refute testimony given
several days ago by Senator Staples
relative to the clean-up at Kecds
port, and defendlr-g his record
there prior to tho creation of the
state department.
La. Rondo Pierce's testimony
was largely to the effect that he
had been employed by Cleaver and
the governor ln political work and
nsserted that the state prohibition
department gave more attention to
politics than to prohibition. This

brought an occasional denlel from
Cieaver, who said he sett Pierce
to Bend to d. one thing and he
did another.
This led to a grilling of Cleaver
by Hire and Loner gap as to whoth
er ha had not attempted to defeat
Dent-m Bur dick for tht legislature
and had bis agents trail Burdlck
for three weeks In an effort to get
something on him.
Cleaver admlMed that Burdlck
had been trailed for three days be
cause he objected to any wet man
being elected to the legislature. He
said he had very bad reports about
Burdick's conduct, mentioning
"wild parties."
Trailed Burdirk
"Don't you think It was a mis
take, Mr. Cleaver, to play so close
to politics?" asked Garland.
"Y'is, I believe it was a mistake,
Cleaver answered.
La Rondo Pierce was further
questioned about the blackmail
plot against Cleaver of which he
was accused by Mrs. Washburn.
This he denied, declaring that Mrs.
Washburn had suggested such
plot.
Pierce declared that ln prohibi
tion work Governor Pierce and
Cleaver were merely tools ln the
hands of W. J. Herwig.
Hcrwlg was on the stand a short
time. He denied knowledge of the
affidavits said to have come from
Weinberg, Including the one rela
tive to Hugo's conduct.
