ASTOKIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY ..SEPTEMBER 3. 1689.
THE I. H. & '. CO.,OLSEX CONTROVERSY.
'Xo the Editor of The Astertax:
In a late issue of The Daily Asto
riak, reference was made to a recent
decision by Judge Allyn, in the case
of the I. By. &N. Co. vs. Andrew 01
sen, -wherein it was stated that Judge
Allyn held that a man cannot, "with
out a previous agreement, specifically
stated, collect money for a communi
cation to a newspaper."
This statement credits Judge Allyn
with having decided a question that
did not arise in the case, and, inas
much as the article has been copied
and commented on by the Oregonian
and other papers, it is but just to
Judge Allyn that a correct statement
of Ins decision should be published.
The facts in the case were as follews:
The company instituted an action
against Olsen to recover the amount
subscribed by him towards the con
struction of its road. Olsen, in his
answer, alleged as a counter claim
that at the special instance and re
quest of the company, he had written
and caused to be published in the Pa
cific Journal an article "taking
grounds against the allowance of dam
ages claimed by John Briscoe for right
of -way for said railroad through the
land of said .Briscoe, and tnat said
company "promised and agreed to
pay therefor so much as the same waB
reasonably worth," and that "the same
was reasonably worth the sum of
500." The company denied making
any such contract.
At the trial Olsen testified that
such a contract was made and that
the object was to "so excite the peo
ple against Briscoe's demand that he
could not recover it;1' he also intro
duced in evidence a copy of the article
he claim to have had published pur
suant to the contract In that article
he represented himself as having no
interest in the controversy other than
as a citizen and property owner in the
county, and as such desiring to see
the road constructed for the common
good.
The counsel for the company then
moved the court to withdraw the tes
timony of Olsen concerning the al
leged contract from the jury and to
instruct them to return a verdict for
the reason that the alleged contract
was void as being against public
policy, in this, (1st), that Olsen, while
in truth acting for hire, for the pur
pose of deceiving the public and exert
ing an influence which ho otherwise
could not, represented him
self, in the published article,
as being actuated solely by a
desire to forward the public welfare,
and (2d) that the object of the pub
lished article was to prevent Briscoe
from securing an impartial trial be
fore a jury in a court of justice."
This motion Judge Allyn allowed,
and directed a verdict accordingly.
While the court did not discuss the
question presented, the argument, as
to the first proposition was this, that
it is against public policy to permit a
person to recover compensation for
services rendered under false colors.
That while possibly, one might legally
contract to write and publish, for a
compensation, an article to influence
the public in favor of the claim of the
party whose cause he advocates, it is
his duty to disclose the fact that he
is paid for his advocacy, or at least to
refrain from disclaiming a mercenary
incentive. As to the second ground,
the argument was that any contract,
the purpose of which is to improperly
influence or prejudice those who may
become jurors to pass on the demand
in question, in a court of justice, is
void. X
Fishing Troubles at Florence.
Meyer & Kyle, proprietors of the
Florence cannery, and the Fisher
man's protective union, of Siuslaw
have not been able to agree on the
price of fish during the fishing season.
An informant states that the cannery
proprietors offered 50 cents for large
fish and 30 cents for small fish, while the
union demands 60 and 40 cents.
A short time since Meyer &
Kyle imported a number of
Columbia river fishermen and
started them to fishing last week.
Members of the union thereupon
went in boats, compelled the occupants
to desist fishing, took up their nets
and piled them in their boats. Mr.
Kyle one of the proprietors came out
to Eugene, Monday to secure protec
tion in the matter, but we learn the
authorities would do nothing with
out a warrant being issued. Attorney
Geo. A. Dorris started down Wednes
day morning to render legal advice in
the premises.
From J. R. Sloan, who arrived from
Florence Wednesday night, we learn
that everything on the river is quiet
but no fishing is being done. He says
the river is full of splendid large
salmon which can be seen jumping on
every side. It is to be hoped that the
matter will be settled amicably. Eu

AN UGLY DISCOVERT.

Barsaparilla discloses theastonlshlng fact that

ono brand was the pure article."
A reporter took tho abovo clipping to E. W.
Joy, the manufacturer of Joy's Vegetablo Sar
saparilia. Mr. Joy exhibited no surprise. Ha

saw the crying need for a s&f 0 and absolutely

The Queen's Speech to Parliament.
Latest News Prom London and Paris.
HcXinley Opposes an Extra Session.
Sandy Olds Bronpht Into Conrt Yesterday.
London, Sept. 2. Parliament is
prorogued. The queen's speech is as
follews:
My Lerds: It is with great satis
faction I release you from the labors
of a protracted session.
My relations with other powers are
most cordial, and since the beginning
of the session nothing has happened
to diminish my confident expectation
that the peace of Europe will remain
unbroken.
The only exception to the tranquil
course of events has been the partial
attempts of the Mahdists to invade
the southern frontier of Egypt.
The conference at Berlin has agreed
upon a convention regulating the
government of the Samoan islands.
The instrument has been accepted by
me and by the German -emperor, and
now awaits the assent of the American
senate.
At my suggestion the king of the
Belgians has consented to summon a
conference of the European powers at
Brussels to consider the slave trade
by land and sea, and deliberate upon
measures arresting or mitigating the
evils.
An agreement has been reached
whereby controversies with France,
concerning boundaries, and posses
sions on the west coast of Africa, have
been adjusted.
The queen announced a new postal
telegraph convention with France and
Germany, and also alluded to tho edu
cational act for Wales, and railway
extensions in Ireland, and said that
signs of growing prosperity were
everywhere noticeable in the kingdom.
Addressing the commons, she said
that measures have been taken to
strengthen the naval defenses and
make more complete the security of
peace. She approved the act reform
ing the local government of Scotland,
and expressed much regret at the
failure to pass a bill conferring a re
sponsible government in western Aus
tralia. She trusts this very desirable
object will be effected at an early
period.
ANNIVERSARY FETE.
Paris, Sept. 2. M. Alphaud, the
distinguished engineer, is busy organ
izing the proposed fete in honor of
the three hundred and ninety-seventh
anniversary of the discovery of Amer
ica. On that occasion the American
and West Indian delegates to the ex
position will march in procession to
the residence of president Carnot to
express their gratitude to France, and
will thence proceed to the Hotel de
Yille. The fete will conclude with a
procession of boats similar to those of
Columbus, to the Isle des Oygnes,
where the statue of Liberty will be
saluted.
TO DEFEND THE CRONIN CONSPIRATORS.
Chicago, Sept 2. It is claimed by
friends of the murdered Dr. Crouiu
that the old triangle camp of the
Clan-na-Gael has made assessments
to raise funds to defend the men un
der indictment for his murder.
OPPOSING THE EXTRA SESSION.
Deer Park, Md., Sept 2. Con
gressman McKinley called on Presi
dent Harrison yesterday. The two
discussed the advisability of conven
ing congress in an extra session. Mc
Kinley thinks an extra session is inad
visable and that congress could not
bo well assembled after hearing from
four new states before November 1st
and then there would be but four
working weeks and that if by the
death of Bepublican3 or the election
of new members the majority be with
the Democrats, the president would,
m calling an extra session, assume the
responsibility for their actions, while
this would not be the case in the reg
ular session.
RAHiROAD INTERESTS.
Philadelphia, Sept 2. The Press
says: Bockefeller is probably the
largest owner of Northern Pacific
stocks to-day, and has enormous in
terest in the Wiseonsin Central and
other companies identified with the
Northern Pacific. There is no doubt
that Bockefeller and the Standard Oil
company, who are friends as well as
leading capitalists of New York, Bos
ton, Philadelphia and abroad, are
helping Yillard in his movement, or
tnat tney have some great and impor
tant plans which have not yet been
developed.
BOGUS MONEY.
St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 2. A farm
er named Kobinson has been arrested
for disposing of counterfeit money.
He confessed that he was one of a
gang of agents for the . counterfeiters
recently raided near Dayton, Ohio.
He states that S50,000"in counterfeit
10 bills had been distributed among
agents around this city. Later in the
day a deputy arrested two other per
sons implicated. More arrests are
expected.
SWEDISH COUNTERFEITS.
New York, Sept 2. Zimmerman
and Foshay of this city claim to have
discovered a large numoer 01 coun
terfeit fifty-kroner notes of the Ens-
kilda bank of Sundsvall, Sweden,
dated 1875. The notes now offered
come from San Francisco. The bills
are a fair imitation, and have been re
ceived in exchange. Bills amount
ing to 10,000 kroners have been
traced.
THE CHARLESTON.
Washington, Sept 2. A telegram
received by the secretary of the navy
from the "Union Iron Works expresses
confidence that the contract horse
power of the Charleston has been ex
ceeded. The estimated horse-power
of b,700 was made so as to come with
in the actual facts. The cards have
not yet been worked out, but an esti
mate based on the boiler performance
gives the indicated horse-power
greatly in excess of the contract re
quirements. POINTERS FROM PORTLAND.
Portland, Sep. 2. S. Ham, stew
ard on the steamer Columbia was ar
rested when the vessel arrived in port
last night, on a warrant charging hhn
with stealing. For some time Ham
has been suspected, and recently a de
tective went to his ranch in Washing
ton county, and discovered a great lot
of articles easily identified.
RICHARD IS TOUCHED.
Bichard Walker, of Tacoma, the
heir whom the press has criticised for
having allowed his desire to gain pos
session of the property of his mother,
bequeathed to him, to involuntairly
cause the publication that she was a
fallen woman, has written a long let
ter to the Telegram from Tacoma, in
which he displays considerable feeling
and says he will soon be in Portland
when he will expose those who have
been attempting to swindle him. He
says of his mother, "She has a place
deep in my heart I will keep her
there with all her faults, with my
wife and two dear little boys, till
such time as the Almighty calls me
to take my stand with a woman of the
town."
ROUGH ON MARY, EITHER WAY.
Mary E. Taden to-day began a di
vorce proceeding against her husband,
who has threatened to kill her and
himself if she secures a decree. Taden
is employed in Weidler's saw mill.
SOME VALUABLE ORE.
E. O. Smith is exhibiting a box of
magnificent surface croppings from
his gold mine located at Golden City,
on the north fork of the Santiam.
The croppiug3 assay 241.17 to the
ton, and the rock taken from a five
foot ledge at a depth of two hundred
feet averages $203 to the ton.
THE WRETCHED MURDERER.
This morning two departments of
the circuit court resumed business af
ter a recess since July 20. Sandy
Olds, convicted of murder in the first
degree for the killing of Emil Weber,
was brought into court so that some
time might be fixed to dispose of the
case. Judge Stearns allowed Olds'
counsel till Monday next to move for
a new trial or file a bill of ex
ceptions. If neither is done at that
time the death sentence will be
pronounced upon the defendant Olds
looked quite haggard and pale, his
formerly smooth shaved chin is now
hidden beneath a heavy growth of
beard and his hair has grown quite
long. The prisoner's eyes are sunken
and dim. While in the court room he
looked neither right nor left, and he
seemed very apathetic. Olds bears
the appearance of ono now that
the flame of excitement attendant up
ou his crime and subsequent trials
have been extinguished, who real
izes the future has no sunshine in
store for him.
