THE MORNING OBEGQNIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER , 1902. GUILT IS IN INTENT Possession by Permission No Defense for Larceny. SO DECIDES SUPREME COURT Kaxny Horrard Refused Certificate of Probable Cause Decisions Handed Dovrn In Six Cawes, Five i Of Which Are Affirmations. "Where a defendant received property with Intent to steal It, he le guilty of larceny, even though he- received It with the consent of the owner. The doctrine of res Judicata does not apply when the facts collaterally In volved In the second trial are substan tially different from those In the flrsL An executor who Is Indebted to the estate Is chargeable In his final ac count with the amount of the debt, as though It were cash In hand, and this although he was insolvent when he ac cepted the executorship. SALEM. Nov. 3. (Special.) The Su premo Court handed down decisions In six appealed cases. In five of which the lower courts were affirmed. The court also re fused a certificate of prohable cauee for appeal in the case of State vs. Mannle Howard. State of Oregon, respondent, vs. Alex ander Meldrum, appellant, fjom Baker County, Robert Eakln, Judge, affirmed; opinion by Justice Bean. The defendant and Mannle Howard were Jointly charged with the larceny of a mare, the property of R. R, Palmer and H. B. Denham. Meldrum was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. The evidence tended to show that In the Spring of 1901, Meldrum and Howard were gathering horses on the range and were asked to watch out for a mare branded "I C", belonging to Palmer and Denham, and to bring the mare to Palmer's place. They found the mare, took It to the Deal corral and changed, the brand to "H O". .Later they were asked to return the mare to Palmer, which they promised to do, but the next morning they started to drive the mare to Ontario. They were arrested and convicted. Meldrum's defense was that he secured possession of the animal by consent of the owner, and cannot, therefore, be guilty of larceny. The Su preme Court holds that "If the property was received by the defendant with a felonious intent at the time, he Is gullty of larceny, even though It was by the owner's permission." The question of In tent Is held to be one for the Jury to decide from the evidence. In the case of the State of Oregon vs. Mannle Howard, jointly Indicted with Al exander Meldrum, Justice Bean rendered a decision denying the application for a certificate of probable cause for appeal. Howard Is under sentence of imprison ment In the penitentiary for five years for the stealing of the mare mentioned In the case of State vs. Meldrum. The de nial of the petition for a certificate of probable cause for appeal means that Howard cannot be admitted to ball, but must begin serving ils sentence pending appeal. 1 State of Oregon, respondent, vs. R. "W. Deal, appellant, case number 1, from Union County, Robert Eakln, Judge, re versed; opinion by Justice "Wolverton. The defendant was convicted of .stealing a gelding, the property of Charles Row land. He was sentenced to three years in the penitentiary. At the trial Row land testified that he was the owner ot the animal. Deal testified that in April, 1901, he secured the horse In question through a. trade with Rowland. At the trial. Rowland, on cross examination by the defense, was asked whether he did not at a certain time and place make cer tain statements to one Willlnm Brewer, who was there alone with Rowland, which statements were that he had traded two horses like that in question, to the defendant. Rowland denied making the statements, but admitted that he was with Brewer at the place mentioned, though he was net certain as to the time. Later in the .trial Brewer was called, and. for the purpose of impeaching Rowland, tes tified that at the "time and place men tioned he heard Rowland make the state ments attributed to him. An objection to this testimony was sustained on the ground that a foundation for impeaching testimony had not been laid. The Su preme Court reverses the ruling, holding that the foundation had been properly laid, and that the fact that Rowland did not remember the circumstances as stated could not defeat the laying of the foun dation. State of Oregon, respondent, vs. R. W. Deal, appellant, case number 2. from Union County, Robert Eakln, Judge, at firmed; opinion by Justice Wolverton. Deal was convicted of stealing a gelding similar to the one mentioned In the fore going case. He was sentenced to four years' Imprisonment in the penitentiary. On appeal several errors of the trial court are alleged, but the Supreme Cour' finds that the rulings of the lower court were correct. Pacific Coast Biscuit Company, appel lant, vs. Mrs. G. A. Duggcr, respondent, from Linn County, George H. Burnett, Judge, affirmed; opinion by Chief Justice Moore. This was an action by the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company to recover the value of goods alleged to have been sold by said company and the Rosenf eld-Smith Com pany, which latter account was assigned to plaintiff. The answer denied that de fendant bought the goods. This is the second appeal of this case. At the first trial Mrs. Dugger contended that the goods were purchased by her agent, S. W. Dugger. in violation of her Instructions not to buy on credit, and that she was, therefore, not liable for the purchase price. The Supreme Court held that the agency was general and that the defen dant was liable, notwithstanding her in structions. The cause having been sent back for a new trial, Mrs. Dugger changed her de fense and contended that she did not own the store at Independence for which the goods were bought, and that her son, S. W. Dugger, was not her agent, and that she had nothing to do with the purchase and was, therefore, not liable. The jury found In her favor. On this appeal the plaintiff conceded that Mrs. Dugger is bound by the decision In the former case, that S. W. Dugger bought the goods as her general agent, and that she cannot now deny it. The court holds, however, that "the question of res judicata can only be successfully Invoked when the facts collaterally involved are substan tially the same on the second trial as those determined on the former appeal," and that in this case the evidence col laterally involved Is substantially differ ent from that given at the former trial, and the doctrine of res Judicata does -not apply. I It Is also held that a bill of sale may be shown to be a mortgage. In an actlpn at law between one of the parties and a third party. M. B. Davison, et al., respondent, vs. J. I. Akin, executor of estate of Peter "V. Mason and Hannah R. Mason, de ceased, appellant, from Benton County. George H. Burnett. Judge, "affirmed; opin ion by Justlve Bean. At the time Akin was appointed execu tor of the Mason estate he was indebted to Peter W. Mason on account of a prom issory note delivered to the latter during the tetter's lifetime. Akin was Insolvent at the time of his appointment and has ever since remained so. In his final ac count he did not charge himself with the amount of the note, and the respondents asked that the amount of the note be charged against him as executor as though it were so much money in his hands. The Circuit Court charged Akin as demanded by respondents, and Akin appealed. The Supreme Court cites section 1117, of Hill's code, which provides that "the naming any one executor in a "will shall not operate to discharge such executor from any claim which the executor had against him, . . . and if the person so named afterwards takes upon himself the administration of the estate, he shall be liable for such claim as for so much money in his hands at, the time the claim became due and payable." It Is held that under this statute the insolvency of the executor is Immaterial and that on final settlement he Is justly charged with the debt as so much cash in hand. "As an ex ecutor cancot sue himself, all resort to legal process for the collection of a debt due from him to the estate Is cut off by his assuming that office. Having volun tarily taken upon himself the right and duty to demand and receive, and the cor responding duty of paying, it Js but a Just and legal consequence of his own act that his debt should be conclusively pre sumed to have been paid and discharged." G. F. Luckey, administrator, respon dent, vs. Lincoln County, appellant, from Lincoln County, George H. Burnett, judge, affirmed; opinion by Justice Wolverton. Held that where an objection has been made to the mileage of a witness who resided out of the county and more than 20 miles from the place of trial; and was called without a special subpoena having been secured, it Is necessary. In order to recover the mileage, to show not only that the testimony was material, but also that the oral examination of the wit nesses was important and desirable. Hav ing failed to make the showing required, Lincoln County Is denied the recovery of mileage demanded. Petitions for rehearing were denied In the following cases: Kiernan vs. Kraz, findings amended; Hanthorn vs. Qulnn, Lewis vs. Black burn, Brown vs. Case. ONE FIGHT ON TWO TRUSTS Result of Congressional Campaign In Massachusetts. BOSTON. Nov. 3. As the result of an issue raised In the campaign in the Tenth Congressional District, Messrs. "William W. Towle and "William S. McNary, respec tively the Republican and Democratic can didates for Congress from the district," have addressed a petition to the District Attorney for Suffolk County asking for an Investigation of the local coal situation on the ground that there Is Jn Boston some sort of a combination of persons which has bought or contracted for, or Is now practically holding all coal available for the use of the people hi said city, and are now compelling the dealers to enhance the price. Mr. McNary and -Mr. Towle today vis ited the office of United States District Attorney Carey and placed before him evidence concerning the coal combination and the beef combine, asking him to take action in the matter. IN HARMONY WITH CASE Colombian General "Wires Troops Are Being: Transported. PANAMA, Nov. 3. General Perdorao sent a telegraphic message yesterday to the authorities at Bogota as follows: "Troops and war material are at present transported across the isthmus on trains furnished by the railroad company. "We are working In perfect harmony with Ad miral Casey." This afternoon General Perdomo received the following message from President Marroquin at Bogota: "It Is believed necessary, with respect to the obligations you have contracted, to extend the amnesty until November 15." This extension of time is presumably to give General Vargas Santos, military director of the Colombian revolutionists, who is expected here November 5, an opportunity to confer with the government authorities at Panama.

SEATTLE DEFEATS IDAHO UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON TOO MUCH FOR THE 3IINERS. Ten-to-0 Score by a Field Goal and Touchdown Tilly Makes Sensa ' tional Run. MOSCOW, Idaho, Nov. 3. (Special.) Idaho was outweighed 10 pounds to the mar? today in the game with the Univer sity of Washington, and the men from Seattle rolled up a score of 10 to 0, or five points in each half.. The first half was largely a bucking game, while In the second most of the gains were made by long punts on both sides. All the Washington men played a star game, and Jenkins, Smith and Axtell did the good work for Idaho. Edgett, Idaho's center, was in the game all the time' and aided materially In keeping down the score. Washington kicked off 30 yards, and Axtell carried the ball back five. Wash ington got the ball bn Idaho's 25-yard line and carried it up to within 15 yards of the goal line, but the Idaho men took a brace and got the pigskin on downs. Idaho bucked back 20 yards. Then Tilly got the ball on a fumble and tookMt on COURT BLOCKS HIS WILLIAM KOTHWELL, 25 yards In one of the most sensational plays of the day. The ball, went back to Washington, on a fumble and Spledell punt ed 25 yards. Axtell made 5. Jenkins 20, and then Idaho could go no further and the pigskin was turned over to Washington for failure to make yardage. Washing ton then sent Tlbbals on a criss-cross for 40 yards right up to the goal posts, and Spiedell sent the spheroid sailing between the bars on a place kick. The first half closed with the ball on the center of the field and the score 5 to 0 In Washington's favor. v The second half was a continual ex change of punts, particularly on the part of the Washington team. Spledell punted 40 yards, and then Scherer got the ball behind the Idaho goal line for a touch down. Spledell failed to get the goal. The last 10 minutes was played in darkness, neither side being able to make yardage. The ball was near the center when time was called. Score, 10 to 0. The lineup of the two teams was as fol lows: Washington. Position. v Idaho.

Five hundred people saw the University of Washington team, from Seattle, win from Idaho 'varsity today In a game which looked easy for Idaho at all times. If ever a game was won by pure luck, Washington took It today. As far as foot ball goes, Idaho played all over the Wash ington boys, going through the line for steady gains, while with few exceptions Washington never made her gain, losing on downs. TAKES REVENGE ON UMPIRE. Albany Paper Pours Wrath. on Mackie for Football Decisions. The Albany Herald, In writing up the recent game played between Portland Academy and Albany College, has an idea that to make a nice, entertaining write up, a large amount of space should be devoted to vituperation on.the official act ing for the Academy team. John K. Mackie, Princeton, 1901, is so unfortunate as to be the object of the attack, all be cause he deemed It neccss'ary to penalize the Albany players now and then for off side playing. Among other sweet things the Herald says: "The ball went to the Academy on an other one of Mackey's rotten rulings on an off-clde play. "Umpire Mackey got in some clever work for a so-called off-side play. The ball went to Portland, although it was a case of clear steal. "Mackey. the Portland umpire, failed to see anything unfavorable to the visitors, but had a very keen vision for the other side. He was one of the rankest um pires ever on an Albany field." This Is neither good Journalism, nor. spirit, and Is probably as near being true as Mr. Mackie's name Is to being speljed correctly. The general Impression here is that Mackie's reputation is above re proach as a competent official, and that the scurrilous attack of the Albany space filler is wholly unwarranted. CORBETT-RICE FIGHT IS OFF. Local Interference Scares Club Man- I users Out. WATERBURY, Conn.. Nov. 3. William L. Crowley, -of Hartford, manager of the proposed exhibition, announced that both ' the Corbett-Rice bout and the preliminary j douis were on, on account or legal inter ference.

GREAT BOWLERS TO COME. All-Amcrlcan Team Soon to Reach Portland.

The bowlers have been on the road since October 2, or a little over a month, and their trip will end In the middle of Jan uary. So far they have bowled 25 series of flve'games each, or 123 games In all, and of this number they have won 109.' "The team is under the management of Samuel Karpf, of Dayton, O., who is sec retary of the American Bowling Con gress. The members are: Al Selbach, who has a reputation as a ball player on the Baltim'ord team, and lives at Chicago: Phil Wolf, of Brooklyn; John Voorhies, of New York, and Ernest Peterson, of Chi cago. The team will pass through Port land in a day or so, continuing on Its way south. KNOCKS OUT TWO MEN. Ban tnm-Wclp ht Chnmplon Too Much for Halliuny and Finucane. CHICAGO. Nov. 3.

Finucane managed to last the six rounds, FIGHT WITH RICE. "YOUNG CORBETT." but was In bad shape, and Forbes was given the verdict. ' SMITH A PROFESSIONAL. The Famous "Locomotive" Is Barred From the Berkeley 'Varsity. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3. (Special.) "Locomotive" Smith, the famous Berke ley halfback, who coached the, University of Oregon eleven during the season of 1901, has been declared a professional. The decision was reached late this even ing, after a prolonged discussion, and means that Smith will be debarred from playing on the University of .California 'varsity team In the great game with Stanford next Saturday, "Locomotive" Smith, who was named thus because of his fierce line plunges and many sensa tional runs across the gridiron, Is regard ed as one of the best halfbacks on the Pacific Coast, and his dismissal from the Berkeley 'varsity Is a severe loss to the followers of the blue and gold.

Wholesale Prices to Retail Buy ers or Members on the Very Best Pianos Made Astonishingly Small PaymentsInvestigate and You Will Join One of the Clubs Now Forming. Under the club system inaugurated for the llrst time In Portland by Eilers Piano House, purchasers get the benefit of the retailers' profit. Always the first In adopting new, pro gressive, money - saving. ) public - pleasing methods, Eilers Piano House now has In full blast a plan that has met with im mense popularity elsewhere, and Is now meeting with the same In Portland-.- On Sunday morning we advertised our Intention of forming piano clubs in Port land, the same that had been employed so successfully by our San Francisco house a short time ago. By noon no less than six pianos were on the way to the homps of enthusiastic purchasers, who had readily recognized what a saving it would be to them. Since then the growth of the clubs, six in all, four for pianos and two for or gans, has been simply phenomenal. Mem bers are coming In almost hourly, and the entire force of delivery teams of the firm have been constantly kept busy sending out the pianos. , This is the Proposition. To begin with, members of these clubs get tht very best pianos made, such as the Kimball. Decker, the Weber. Chlck crlng and others, and they get them at dealer's prices, and In addition to this the terms of payment on them are much easier than In the recular retail way. The .initial or first payment places the piano in your house. There- will be four piano clubs "A." "B," "C" and "D," each club being limited absolutely to but one hundred members. Those joining Club "-. now secure a line, now piano by paying down the small sum of $5 and making weekly payments cf S1.25. Club "B" members pay $7.00 upon de livery of their pianos and complete their payments at the rate of $1.60 per week. In the Club "C" series the initial pay ment will be $12.00 down and the balance In payments of $2.00 weekly. Those joining Club "D" will pay $20.00 down and $2.50 weekly. Now as to Organs. There are also two organ clubs, limited to but 100 members each. Club "OA" members secure a fine new organ by paying $3 down and weekly pay ments of 60c. Members of Club "OB" will deposit $3.00 and then $1.00 weekly. These small payments secure you the very finest organs made, fully warranted by the manufacturer, and also by the house.

The fanciest carved walnut and mahog any piano-cased organs go to members of clubs at correspondingly low prices. And remember, every instrument we sell Is guaranteed by us for five years.
