and beautiful than this. And although
II h more with utility than with beauty
that this convention has 10 do, can
not but feel that the country Is TO be
congratulated on the existence Of the
National Good Roads Association, from
the esthetic points Of view as well, and
that its influence will be constantly
and increasingly felt in this direction.
1t Is becoming that we take The recep-
tive attitude, beginning with q sincere
expression of gratefulness to these
public spirited men who have come out
of the distances Of this great republic
moved by a patriotic Impulse, to direct
US into new and pleasant paths, and
that we apply ourselves diligently to
learn what they have come to teach.
Continuing he said: "Ninety-fve per
cent of every load by railroad, steam
ship or express must be carried in
wagon or truck over a highway; it
costs the farmers of the United
States nearly three times more than
those of Europe to market an equal
tonnage of farm products over primary
roads.
L. this not a new light TO you, my
fellow citizensi | grant it is to me-
and | am impressed with the duty that
we owe to this convention and TO our
community to spread this knowledge
and stimulate improvement of ouf
highways to the point that our farmers
shall not be at disadvantage as com.
pared with any farmers in the world.
The motive of our visitors is to i'm
prove the conditions of living
and they will find in this state, / be-
lieve, as good an opportunity for i'm
provement in their particular line as
they will find anywhere in the country.
The building of good roads is gener-
ally the product of country's later
civilization. Great Britain has called
herself civilized for many centuries, but
the reader of all earlier English nov
els--the novel itcelf being a product Of
modern times the reader of Fielding,
of Madame Darblay and of Oliver
will perceive that most of
the roads Of England in those days
were bogs, and viii learn that, with
the English as with the Romans, scien-
tifc roadbuilding came only as the ma
tion approached the zenith of its pros
perity and enlightenment.

National Good Roads Association
Convention Opened
AuspiciousIy.
MANY SPEAKERS HEARD
Huge Auditorium at Exposition Filled
to 0verfowing. Many Prominent
Men Present. Visiting Advocates for
Permanent Highways Welcomed.

Portland, Or, June 22.-The Fifth
annual convention of the National Good
Roads Association, the first of the gath
erings of national Importance to meet
in Portland this year, at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, began its first session in Fes-
tival Hall at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition grounds.
The number Of delegates was large
and their enthusiasm unbounded. The
great hall was filled to overhowing with
accredited delegates to the convention
and interested spectators, among the
latter of whom, being large sprinkling
of ladies whose bright hued gowns lent
beauty to the elaborate decorations Of
the auditorium.
Promptly on the hour, President W.
H. Moore, of the association, mounted
the speakers platform and took his
place with the important personages
in the Good Roads movement, 0regon's
principal officials and Portland'es prom
inent business men surrounding him.
When the cpening selection of the Ad-
ministration band had been finished, Col.
Moore formally called the organization
to order.
This act was hardly accomplished
when the proceedings were interrupted
by the arrival of d. B. Huss, dust be-
grimed from travel, who had just reach
ed the Lewis and Clark grounds in an
automobile after completing the much
talked of trans.continental endurance
run. He carried letter from Melville
E. Stone, manager of the Associated
Press, to President H. w. Goode, of the
exposition, which was read amid great
enthusiasm.
As the gathering quieted again the
program of the day was resumed with
the delivery of the impressive invoca-
tion by DR.. Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi of
the Temple Beth Israel, of this city.

Yesterday four indictments were re.

Both men are charged with maintaining

The indictments are Of the same tenor
and allege the following:
"The said John Stephenson and
Charles Wise, willfully committed an

The defendants appeared in court by
their attorneys, y. J. Taylor, J.M.smitb
and George Noland, the state of Oregon
being represented by District Attorney
Harrison Allen. The defendants waived
the reading Of the indictments and enter
ed plea Of mot guilty.
Attorney Taylor stated that they de-.
sired an early trial Of the cases, as the
sheriff had unlawfully closed their
places Of business, without proper auth.
ority, and that the defendants had q
right to protect their property, even
against the sheriff, but being law.abid.
ing citizens they did not desire 10 violate
the law or 10 take II into their own
hands. that they were running a dance
hall under license issued by order OF
the county court.
The district attorney stated that II
was not a question whether they were
running q dance hall under a license,
but whether they were conducting a
nuisance, and that the Indictment was
brought under section 1880 Of the Laws
Of Oregon which provides as follows:
See. 1880. II any person shall will.

which grossly Injuries the person or prop.
erty Of another, or which grossly dis,

pressly prescribed therefore by this code
upon conviction thereof, shall be pun.
ished by imprisonment in the county
jail Of not less than one month nor
more than six months.
Mr. Allen contended that the county
had no authority to issue license con-
trary TO the provisions Of that section
and the sheriff had a right to arrest
them for a violation of the law not
withstanding the license.
Judge Mcbride stated that the sheriff
had no right to close their places of bus.
mess but he did have a right to ar.
rest them as often as they violated the
law, II the law was being violated. He
stated that he did not believe he had
a right to try the cases, that there were
questions of fact involved that should
be submitted to jury. An order was
made that William Chance summon Is

at is fitting that the state, the city and
the commercial bodies, should join in a
welcome to the good roads convention,
seeing that state, civic and commercial
interests are so indissolubly bound to-

TRIAL BEGINS IN EARNEST
Aged Statesman Presents Pitiable Spec.

Portland, June 2l,--Tbe trial of
United States Senator Mitchell was be.
gun IN earnest today, Most Of the
morning was devoted to the opening ar.
guments OF the attorneys. District At
ioruey Francis J, lIeney severely ar
raigned Senator Mitchell but the argu

made public through the indictment.
Judge Bennett, Of the defendant, de-
MED the allegations Of the indictment.
setting forth Senator Mitchcll's limo
ccncc and asserting that his only mis-
take was In changing the agreement be-
tween him and Judge Tanner.
Senator Mitchell presented a most
pitiable spectacle. For the first time In
his long and illustrious career he faced
his peers, twelve men composing the
Jury who are TO decide his guilt or in.
nocence; men who have, on more than
one occasion, checred his utteranccs, and
who have elected and reelected legis'
lators who were the support of the
agen senator. His predicament could
not help but arouse sympathy from
among the people who crowded tho court
room, because his birthday occurs to-
morrow when he will attain the age OF
seventy years.
The celebration Of this event will
he indeed lugubrious. Senator Mitchell
has reached the age when most people
turn their thoughts from this world
to the next and prepare TO meet their
creator; he Is facing tern tribunal
and bringing every force Of his keen
mind TO clear his name OF the stigma OF
the land frauds.
Shortly before the noon hour the ex'
animation Of witnesses was begun. Fred
erick A, Kribs, whom the government
charges with having bribed Senator
Mitchell, was the first witness.
He testified that he employed the law
firm of Mitchell 4 Tanner to expedite
three groups of claims, one group OF
forty claims for which he had paid 5000
when IL passed TO patent, a second,
group Of 30 claims, for which he paid VI,
600 for. having II expedited to patent,
and third group for which he also
paid $1,000.
Kribs testified on cross examination
that he had no agreement about fees
with Senator Mitchell, but had arrang'
ed that matter with Judge Tanner. He
also testified that he was purchasing the
timber for Ex-Governor Pillsbury, of
Minnesota, connected with whom, In the
timber business were G. A. Smith, Q.
j. johnson and other Minneapolis lum.
bermen. Judge Tanner was then called
to the stand.
At this point the one sensational mo-
ment Of the day occurred, Senator
Thurston objected TO an admission in
Judge Tanners evidence on the ground
that Tanner had plead guilty TO per-
jury, and contended that under the fed
eral statutes, a man guilty of perjury
was disqualified in testifying in a Fed
eral court. Heney opposed the view
asserting that until sentenced man who
pleads guilty may withdraw his plea
and demand a trial, and that in effect,
until the sentence was passed, no con-
viction really existed. The court ruled
