Cmer af Cmumt clai ui CMrt Stmfo CHARGES AGAINST RADER Who Has Been Head of Anti-Saloon League Belief Now That Assault Upon Him at Salem Was Self Inflicted Portland, Jan. 29. Grnvo chnrgoa will bo brought against Row Paul Rndor, goncrnl suporlntoudont of tho Anti-Saloon Longuo of Oregon, nt a speclnl meeting of tho bonrd ot trus tees of that organization to bo hold this week. It 1b assorted by mem bers; of tho board that ovldonco will bo produced at that time to Bhow Mr. Rader Is a fakir, puro and sim ple, and that ho 1b anything but a devout and earnest Christian. It la further alleged thnt ho will bo re quested to hand In hlo roRlanntlon at tho mooting. Ho will bo charged, It is predicted, with having blackened tho sood name of -tho Anti-Saloon Leaguo in Oregon by dollbernto mis representation, and plunging tho or gnnlzatlon almost hopelessly Into debt. Tho most sensatlonnl of tho charg es that ho will bo callod upon to nn swer Is tho ono thnt tho story ho told of boinc assaulted by thugs at Salem last February was mndo up of whole cloth, ond that tho wounds ho snld ho received during tho oncounter wero Bolf-Inlllctod. Mr. Rndor's ono mloB among tho temperance workers declnro that ho cooked up tho story partly to bring tho liquor dealers In to dlsroputo by Insinuating that tho assault was Instigated by them, bill principally to obtain glory for him self. Tho saloon mon havo always con tended that Rndor was not assaulted at Salem, and that ho told tho story merely to creato public sympathy. Following tho alleged assault and tho counter-charges made by the liquor men. tho loaders among tho tempernnco workors becamo Indig nant and rallied to tho defense of the superintendent of tho leaguo. Ro Uglous and tomporanco workers all over the stato wero wrought up to a high pitch of cxcltomont over tho al leged assault, and Under was hailed as a horo. Exploded by Investigation, But, as tho story goes, tho rumors that tho assault Btory was a fako be camo so persistent that officers of th leaguo made an Investigation to sat isfy themselves. Instead of becom ing convinced that tho assault was genuine, they wero forced to tho con clusion that Rader had concocted the story of tho uBsault from begin ning to tho end. They havo said but little about it heretofore, but now they are willing to tell all they know. At the tlmo Rader reported tho al leged assault ho was especially active in fighting tho saloon evil. Ho went to Salem to attend to leaguo busi ness. Ho was walking along a dark street, ho said, when two mon ap proached him and attempted his life. To bear out his statements ho showed the authorities at Salem a slight flesh wound in the hand and a rent in his coat and Yest, which, ho said, had been made by a knife in tho handB of one of his would-bo assassins. Tho authorlttea at Salem mudo an investigation, but could learn noth ing outsido of whnt Rndor told him self to substantiate his tnlo. Another chargo that will bo pre sented Is that Rader made falso state ments by which ho dofontcd for re election Dr. Clnronco True Wilson, thon president of tho longub, who had been Instrumental In securing for htm tho position of superintend ent. The annual election by the bonrd of trustees wns hold last Oc tobor. It Is said thnt Rader ap peared before tho nominating com mittee nnd nsked who hnd boon do cldod upon for president. Ho was told that the commlttuo lntondod to recommend Dr. Wilson for ro-oloctlon He lloiTOUTd on Notes. A third chargo, it. Is Bald, will bo that Rndor has boon guilty of gross mismanagement of tho fundB of tho longuo. To secure monoy for tho league, It Is nllogod, ho got certain persons In Portland to glvo promis sory notes for consldornblo amounts, among thorn being Dr. Clnronco True Wilson, who may havo' to make good $1500 bo obtained. It Is snld that .during tho campaign that prccodod tho Juno election Rndor borrowed money on these notes, nnd promised to raise by subscription to defray tho expenses of the leaguo enough to pay it back within a month nftor tho notCB wero signed. ThQ.ropney has not boon forthcom Wr'lt Is said, nnd tho lenguo is about?4000 in debt. It Is also al leged that the league Is dally getting dooper In debt and thnt Rador Is mnklng no effort to extricate It. Rnd or is tho only paid o III cor of tho league, and receives a Balnry of $2000 n year. Story of the Assault. ANTI-GRAFT BATTLE STILL TO COME AH Want Appropriations and the Gov ernor's Battle Axe Will Soon Begi n to Hash Tho big light of thlH legislative session Is still to como. Governor Chamberlain, whllo ho Is handicapped with his light for n railroad commis sion nnd his demand for nn appropri ation for tho JnmoBtowu exposition nnd a stato lighting plant, Is not bo wedded to 'thcBO propositions as to hamper him from mnklng a-stronu-oua campnlgn agaluBt qxtrnvngnnt appropriations of nil kinds, and his voto nxo will havo to fnll a grcnt many tlmca In tho next forty dnyB. Tho higher cducntlonnl Institutions have full swing in UilBjoglsJaUjr.o.j with a majority on the appropria tions committees of both lioucos, nnd with control of tho committees on education. Their doinnmla will bu oxcesslvo, nnd thoro Is no Indication that thoro will ho any roform bill for tho stato normal schools, Mr. Vnw tor has Introduced tho bill, but his dofont for tho snonkorshln nnd his Tho assault upon Rov. Pnul Rador J ro8(i0nco In a normal Bchool county Dr. J. P. COOK Mi KB WHiL MM ALfc Oi XW FAHMWa. FK AWT MM CALZi M MR. CCHHC OOiNWXANtXftOff wns alleged to havo boon mndo nt Salem on tho night of Fobrnnry 27, of Inst year. Rodor was in Salem for tho purpose of organizing n branch of the Aanti-Snloon Leaguo thoro. Ho was accompanied to tho Capital City by If. L. McCabo, a youth undor ago, who WB3 employed to procuro ovl donco against the dlvo-keopors of Portlnnd. According to Rader, ho wnB walk ing along a sldo street about (1:30 at night when ho was approached by two men. Ono of them hit him on tho back of tho head, nnd tho othor endeavored to stab him 'with a largo knife, As the latter struck nt Under ho said, according to Rndor's stery: "You stoolplgeon, I'll fix you." Rader said he grappled with hli assailant, and they rolled In tho mud, but tho thug escaped from Rader and ran away with his companion. Rador Bald at tho tlmo that ho bollovcd tho mon hnd followed him from Port land. Rador told the authorities that tho only thing that saved his lifo was a pocketbook, which he carried In his vost pocket directly ovor his honrt. The blade of tho knlfo penetrated tho coat pierced tho outsido cover of tho pocketbook to tho last of a dozen cards In tho case. The wound on the left hand, which was inflicted, he 'said, when he throw up his arm to protect himself, was about three Inches in length, and two stitches wero taken in it. When Rader appeared at tho sher iff's office at Salem to report tho as. sault, he showed no excitement. The local authorities at Salem and Sher iff Culver of Marion county, did tholr best to find somo traco of tho two men who are alleged to havo at tacked the superintendent, but wero unsuccessful. A temperance worker In Portlnnd. who has known Rader intimately ov or since he has been in Portland, said yesterday that Rador still woro tho vest which was slashed, and refused to allow the knlfo cut In It to bo mendod. It Is also said that ho car ries with him the pocketbook with tho cards that were pierced by tho knife, and that ho takes great pride in exhibiting tko mutilated rest and pocketbook, l has taken tho simp out of tho fight for roform. Ah has boon tho prno tlco for somo tlmo, thoro will bo throo or four Bopurato appropriation bills, and tho governor enn send back any of them for correction, or ho can voto slnglo Uqiub of any of them. At honrt. It Is not bollovud tho govornor will enro much If tho Jamestown graft gots knocked In tho head. All Want i:paiiMlou. -From tho highest official of tho su premo court to tho Biunllost dopnrt monts, tho attorney-gcnoral, Hie Htnte land agent and county oIIlclnlB, and oven the olllco of constnblo, nddl tlonnl ofllclnls, assistants, doputloH nnd clerks nro domanded. Thoro Is hardly a dopnrtmont of the stato gov ornmont that Is not to bo expundod ofllclully, nnd have its snlarles, tho number of olllcers, the por diem, or tho feos Increased In somo manner. On top of all this thnt abomination In tho oyes of tho pooplo but a few yonrs ago, a railroad commission, with clerks and secretary, Is to bo re vived, with litigation and contests, tho wholo domain of official activity to bo extended nt tho expense of tho pooplo. An institution for tho feeble minded, wjth a thousand nores of farming lands, a block of ground for a park adjoining the state house with a mansion for tho governor, ia to bo purchased. Tho governor will bo put up against n wilderness of appropria tions, commissions, now officers and new burdens, part of them his own asking, and yot .tho pooplo, and es pecially tho farmers, feel that ho will prove equal to tho occasion, and swim out of tho political pool with victory, and possibly a United States senatorship in his grasp.
