CITY HOPES TO SECURE

A movement Is on foot whereby
the city council hopes to. at some
time possibly in the remote future,
secure ownership for the city of the

stating that II the land was ever used
for any other purpose than depo;
grounds that It would revert to him
that Is forfeiture The council
hopes to get Bourne to eliminate this
clause from the deed, which will give
the city an opportunity to swap othel
ground to the railroad company fol
these Tour corners, and on them OF
one or two of them erect municipa
buildings,

SEEK TO HAVE POOR
MANS FINE RENTED

A petition was being circulated to-
day by Or. Loughridge, the paper be-
ing addressed to Governor West, ask
ing that official to Pardon Frank
Harper and A. B, Pratt, the former
being minor, who were fined $50 in
Justice Holman's court on a charge
of fishing in the Rogue with foul
hook. Game Warden Sandry hap
pened along near the bank of the
Rogue in the region of the Golden
Drift dam and found the man and
boy using a big steel hook tied to a
line, which they were lowering into
the water in an endeavor to snare a
fish for food The man is destitute
and the petition recites Mat he had
shared no fish, even IL he did he was
seeking food for his family, and that
to carry out the sentence would mean
that the two would lay in jail, much
to the suffering of the already desti-
tute family One of the signers to
the petition Is Justice Holman who,
under the law, had no alternative
but to IMPOSE the fine.
In speaking of the matter today
DR.. Loughridge said: 81 am in favor
of a state law closing the Columbia
river to commercial fishing. Maybe
that would teach those people what
a hardship has been imposed on us
here, This man, poverty-stricken, Is
not allowed under the law to catch
a fish as food for his family. 1t Is
no answer to say he used the kind
of hook he did the fact Of the mat
ter is he needed food, and Of the mil
lions of Salmonsin the river he is moi
allowed to take one unless he car
Iinveigle II on a little hook. A hool
is hook, and l can see no difference
especially when a family is lookinl
for the father to take to them some
food"

TO REPAIR CAPITOL PICTURE.
CorcOran Gallery of Art Expert En-
GnGed to Restore Painting.

The work of repairing the mutilated
painting The Battle of Lake Erie
which was slashed last Tuesday night,
was begun yesterday, when R. P. Toll
man, an expert from the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art, after a careful inspection of
the canvas, declared that the two-foot
strip cut out could be replaced in such
fashion as to almost entirely conceal the
injury.
First in the work of repairing the paint,
ing will be the task of arranging electric
lights so close to the cut as to reveal
every defect. The portion of the picture
which was cut out will be glued to a
thin strip of board, and this will be fas-
tened in place from the rear Then
painters will go over the edges of the
cut with paint.
Nothing new has been heard of the two
men seen on the Senate steps shortly
before the mutilation occurred.

''REY. !" HUNNCUTT
BITTERLY ASSAILED
Continued from Page One.

Hunnicutt personally. Mr.. Fugitt said
he thought IL Hunnicutt could perform
marriages ii would advertise his church
and help the cause of religion" Wit
ness stated that he secured the permit
for Hunnieutt without having been asked
by him, and admitted that the question
OF baptisms, funerals, and other church
functions as source of income were not
considered
District Attorney Clarence Wilson Sc
verely denounced the methods by, which
Hunnicutt secured the permit, and said
that the whole scheme had simply been
devised to use the church for the pur-
pose of making money out of marriages,
and that the name of religion was merely
used as a cover. The prosecutor said
that IT was a disgrace to the dignity of
the court to permit the prostitution of
the holy sacrament OF matrimony as
practlced by Hunnicutt. Mr.. Wilson de-
clared that Hunnicutt had organized a
regular system of cappers, who are in
charge of a colored man by the name of
johnson. who, in turn, employed messen-
gers and laborers in the court building
to be on the lookout for couples intend
ing to get married and intercept them.
''Hunnicutt's system permeates the en-
tire courthouse and neighborhood, said
Mr.. Wilson.
Discharged ms ExhOrter.
Rev. DR.. Sumwalt, presiding superin-
tendent of the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Washington testified at the
morning session as to Hunnicutts con-
nection with the church, and his dis
charge as an exhorter. When Hunnicutt
asked Rev. DR.. Sumwalt to ordain him
DR.. Sumwalt said he was not a fit and
proper person and that he had not per-
formed his work according to the man.
ual.
The fact developed that George Lau-
terback, one of the members of Hum
nicutt's so-called church, had left the
jurisdiction. He is supposed to be the
man who ordained Hunnicutt, and the
district attorney wanted very much to
see Lauterback and question him about
il. but Lauterback had evidently pre-
ferred to be busy elsewhere.
Johnson, the colOred man who was
intrusted by Hunnicutt to organize a
capper system in and around the City
Hall. admitted having sent at least 100
couples to Hunnicutt, receiving there
for from so cents to 50 apiece, which
revenue. he said, he divided according
to merit between subcappers, among
whom he named a number of laborers
and messengers employed in the City
Hall.
In the original complaint filed by AS
sistent Prosecutor Hawken. who as
sisted District Attorney Wilson yes
terday. the court was asked to revoke
the permit issued to Hunnicutt October
2S. 1910. not only on the ground that
deception was practiCed in making the
application, but also because the priv
ilege of marrying couples had been
abused by the employment of "cappers''
and runners"

TO SEGREGATE PRISONERS.
Army Would Separate Hardened
Criminals from Minor Offenders.

In accordance with the suggestions
made by Secretary OF War Stimson and
Maj. Gen. Wood, Chief OF Staff, steps are
already being taken at the War Depart
mcnt for the separation of hardened
criminals in the army and men under
sentence for minor offenses.
1t is believed that the interests of the
army will be materially advanced and
many prisoners saved from becoming
habitual crminaB by the segregation of
prisoners convicted of crimes. 1t is
proposed to place the worst of this latter
class in the State penitentiaries. and send
the rest to Alcatraz Island. San Fran
cisco, and Fort Jay, on Governors Island,
New York. Fort Jay will be used for the
purpose OF saving transportation of pris-
OnerS and guards across the continent.
BY this programme the Federal prisons
at Fort LeavenwOrth and at Atlanta will
he considerably relieved of the exist
inE excess of prisoners for whom there
are not satisfactory accommodations.
