Heitkemper. !Mr. Kellogg-and Mr. Alien were excused by the prosecution and Fries, Malley and others by the defense. Mr. Heitkemper had formed an opinion from what lie had read and heart of the case. Mr. McCraken said he was familiar with "the affair as it was detailed in the news papers, and he was acquainted with Cap tain Porter, of the British ship Riverdale. Buren, the sailor said to have been kid naped, was one of the crew of this ves-t-cl. . Mr. McCraken said he had formed an opinion from what he had read in the newspapers. . In answer to a question If he had any prejudice against the sailor boarding house business he answered in the nega tive, but said he was opposed to the man ner in which the business was conducted. He stated that u he was in the position of the defendant he would not want a person of the same mind as himself to act as a Juror. He was excused on a preemptory challenge, The men examined to sit as jurors were hll asked these questions, and Achether they had formed an opinion or discussed the case. The question was also put: "Are you acquainted with James Laldlaw, British Consul?" And also: "Are you ac quainted with the defendant and have you any prejudice against him personally?" judge Frazer ruled that If a Juror said he would go into the jury box with the presumption that the defendant was inno cent unless proved guilty, and would dis regard any opinion he might have formed, obey the instructions given by the court regarding the law and evidence, and give the defendant the benefit of all reasonable doubt, he was competent to serve. Buren, the sailor, who is alleged to have been taken to Vancouver, Wash., against his will, signed with Captain Por ter for the voyage. He and two of his mates are said to have been attacked while on their .way to the vessel. The other two men escaped. Dan J. Malarkey snd M. L. Pipes appear as attorneys for the deJendants.

The report of the superintendent was read for the month of February, in which he reported there were being cared for on February 1 40 children; received dur ing the month. 23. making a total of 65. Out of n this number 34 were placed In homes, and 31 are now at the Receiving Home. The superintendent also reported that JAMES E. WHITE, SAILOR ON TRIAL ON CHARGE OP KIDNAP INC. the Legislature had appropriated the sum of JSOOO toward the maintenance of the society for the ensuing two years, and although this was an increase over the former appropriation by $2000, yet a large amount will have to be raised by chari table effort on account of the growth of tho work of the society. Several improve ments will haX'e to be made, one of which is the building of the north wing at the Receiving Home and the placing of a permanent traveling agent on the road, and If possible the building of an isolated hospital for contagious diseases.

MASTER PAINTERS SIDE. Declare They Have "Met Union Half Way, and Want to Avoid. Strike. PORTLAND, March U.-To the Editor.) The conference held by the committees of the Master Painters' Association and the local union of painters and paper hangers did not come to any agreement. At the last meeting the proposition was made by the employing contractors to in crease the wages as a minimum to 40 cents an hour, which would be $3.20 per day for eight hours' work; at the same time the local union was askeel to recon sider their rules whereby only one of a firm Is allowed to work. Both these prop ositions were rejected by the union. The master painters then withdrew their proposition, believing that it was impos sible to come to any agreement with the union that would be just to the property owners and to the contractors, for we be lieve that $3.20 a day is sufficient for the ordinary house painter. The more skilled workmen do now and always will get more than the .minimum. The matter Is now at a standstill be tween the two organizations, and the master painters feel that they have done their duty In meeting the union half way. We wish to avoid anything in the nature of a strike which would obliterate the prospects of a prosperous season. The above is a true and 'correct state ment, and Is given . so that the public may judge for themselves. W. W. MORSE, President J. BURXHAM, Secretary-Treasurer.

She Tackles Secretary of City Beard of Charities, "Who Exposes Her Little Gaae. Just because she forgot to take a letter with her, a woman from Hickman, Kan., will not be sent home to her people at the expense of Portland citizens. If she goes back to Hickman at all she will have to earn the money to pay for the ticket herself. The tale that this woman has at va rious times unfolded into the ears of sev eral Fortlanders is one calculated to make Evangeline, the Wandering Jew or even Ulysses himself blush wlthVshame and rush for a back seat in the wanderers' bench. Luckily she got up against the wrong person for once, and thereby hangs a tale. Some days ago a woman accosted a prominent business man in the Postoffice, asking him to assist her with a financial BOARDING - HOUSE KEEPER donation, "to raise money to go home to my sick parents and children in Hick man, Kan." The gentleman had evidently attended a church festival the night previ ous, for he said ho was "broke." He therefore conducted the poor woman to Secretary Walpole's office, at the City Board of Charities, where he left her with that gentleman. The woman was not long In acquainting herself with the secretary, but. started her story witnout any preliminary Introduc tlons. I'What is your name?" queried the offi cer. "Mrs. L B , and I want to raise money enough to go to Hickman?" quick ly replied the woman. "Why do you want to go there?" "I'll just tell you the whole trouble If you will get me the money. Will you promise? Mr. Walpole assured her that he would do what he could In the matter, where upon the following tale was narrated: "My husband, Hugh B , and I left Hickman last Summer and came West for my health. We could not take the two children very well, so we left them with my parents. We first went to Moscow. Idaho, where Uncle Jackey gave us some money and sent us to Spokane. We lived In Spokane for several months, and t month ago came to Portland, as my hus band had no work In Spokane and his money was nearly all gone. We were here only three days when Hugh deserted me.1 (Sobs.) Perceiving that Secretary Walpole's eyes were still dry, she took another course. "Can you read German?" "JTo, I am sorry." replied Mr. Walpole, "Well, I'll read It to you," taking s letter from her pocket The letter was read, telling how the "hens had all died," and that the writer. Mrs. B 's mother, was sick in bed, also the husband and father, and the two chll dren; no wood nor food and the weather very cold. The letter went on to tell how the poor mother "prayed night and day' that some kind friends would send the daughter home. Mr. Walpole told the woman, who was now sobbing convulsively, that he would look Into the matter and try to end her home. "If I get the money myself, will you get me tne reduced rate? she asked. "I thought you could get no money, said the officer. "Oh. yet I can If I pay it back. I have a friend over In the City Hall who will lend It to me. I'll go and get it now.' and In her haste she forgot the letter she had read. Mr. Walpole picked up the let ter. which was written in English, though rather broken. It read In part: "Dear Daughter: When are you com ing home? We are all well and the ban tam laid three eggs and the children go to scnooi tnree times a week, and to Ger. man school twice a week. There Is no news except that the old man came home drunk last night and hit me on the right side of my left chest so I am lame there yet. He broke all the pretty ornaments on the organ and broke the organ stool too, but be is all right today, and I know he is real sorry. Give my love to Uncle Jakey and write soon. Your mother." Secretary Walpole had hardly finished the letter when the phone rang. Mayor Williams had been requested to make a donation. Mr. Walpole told the Mayor the- story and the "poor woman' is still looking for the "friend with money." Jfotices have been published in the papers warning the nubile not to rive the woman help, as she will be cared for by the City Board of Charities. Secretary Walpole has written the mother at Hick man, and will make arrangements for this modern Evangeline's transportation as soon as he receives a reply. BUSINESS ITEMS.
