' THE- arOEOTNG OREGOUnAKTHUKSDAY, - 'MAY '14, 1903.- NIC0LN0TT0 BLAME Jury Returns Verdict in Hunt Club Case. MAN RUN 0V ACCIDENTALLY "Whi-e Ennrnped In Paper Chases Members of the Club Take Chances of Injury and Cera- ' not Recover Damages, "Wlille engaged In paper chases, mem bers of the Portland Hunt Club must take the chances of being run over by each other, and cannot recover damages for any Injury resulting. It is merely an accident- This seems to have been the con clusion reached by the Jury yesterday in the suit of C. B. Williams against James Xicol for $10,710 damages. The Jury delib erated on the case but a few minutes, and returned a verdict in favor of the de fendant. Only two ballots were taken. For the defense, F. J. Patterson, a tailor, testified that he saw the race. He observed Nicol riding on the bicycle path and heard him yell, "For heaven's sake, get out of the way." Nlcol appeared to be trying- to hold his horse, and the animal acted as if it was beyond his control. Williams stood near tftie goal looking away from the horses, which were behind. There was nothing to prevent Williams from seeing Nlcol as he approached. 'ine witness said after the collision Nlcol was thrown from his horse and dragged a short distance. Nlcol did not stand any chance of winning the race. J. C. Muehe, receiving teller at the First National Bank, testified that he was a spectator and knew of no reason w!ny "Williams should' not have heard the cry of warning and stepped out of the way." Nicol had no chance of winning the race, and appeared to be trying to hold his horse in. Muehe said that he had time to get out of the way and rescue a little girl after Nicol gave the warning cry. Nlcol testified in. his own behalf tihat the horse he -was riding got beyond his con trol. He said he was too far behind to think of winning the race, and "was not trying to. do so. He called to Williams to get out of the way. Nlcol said the acci dent, so far as he was concerned, was unavoidable, and he was sorry it hap pened. Other witnesses called were ,R H. Jenk ins, Dr. "William McLean and J. P. Smith. The attorney for the defense, in address ing the Jury, stated that it was an un fortunate occurrence, and not a case where a Verdict of damages should be re turned against Nlcol. Recalling his boy hood days, he said: "I know something about farm horses. I remember riding a horse bareback, racing with neighbor boys. I came to a place where my father was acouring a plow, and as I passed along came a flock of blackbirds. tMy horse dodged and I went on over his head and my right arm was dislocated. It was a simple accident, np one to blame." Ri A. -Lelter also made an argument based on the evidence, showing that Nlcol was not to .ame- For the defense, Attorney James Glea son said in part: "This controversy could not be settled by the parties to it, conse quently the aid of he courts was In voked. They were all anxious to win the race, and wo have .seen newspaper controversies- occur over these events. Whllo It is a tempest in a teapot to the world at large, it is a matter of great Importance to these people. In their little world. They were to race in the road, and not on the bicycle path. They say Nicol deplored the accident, but he was never sorry from a financial standpoint." The instructions by Judge Frazer were Impartial, and the Jury was out only a few minutes. SENTENCED FIVE TEARS EACH. J. W. Smith mid Albert Lyman to Serve Term for Robbery. J. W. Smith and Albert Lyman, two young men convicted last week of rob bing J. W. Collins on March 22, at the cor ner of East Oak and East Eighth streets, were sentenced by Judge Frazer to five years each in the penitentiary. Dan A. Murphy, attorney for the pris oners, presented a motipn for a new trial, "which the court promptly overruled. In pronouncing sentence Judge Frazer stated that the men had a fair and impartial trial, and he saw no reason why he should interfere with the verdict of the jury. Attorney Murphy, asked and was allowed V) days time to file a bill of excep tions to be used in an appeal to the Su preme Court. Lyman and Smith were arrested at As toria by Sheriff Llnvlllo, and Lyman Jumped from a train while on his way to Portland in custody of Detectives Kerigan and Snow. The men were taken to the penitentiary last night by Sheriff Storey, TO RECOVER. JIFTS OF MOXEY. Administratrix of John A. Kick's Estate Sues Anna Gourley. Augusta Zeller, administratrix of the estate of John August Kuck, deceased, yesterday filed suit against Anna Gourley to. recover gifts of money derived from the sale of Kuck's real property; that the same be declared void as to the demand of creditors, and ordered given into tho pos session of the administratrix. The complaints sets forth that Kuck prior to his death sold his real estate and gave Mrs. Gourley all of the proceeds of the sale amounting to J9000. It is stated that this gift comprised all of Kuck's available as;ts and was made without consideration, and to tho defrauding of the rights of creditors. Mrs. Zeller holds a claim for $S22. SHOT COST HIM FIFTY DOLLARS. C J. Havrley Is Fined for Firing Shotttun at Small Boys. A fine of 550 was ImpoEed by Judge Sears yesterday on D. J. Hawlcy. an old man who discharged a shotgun at three little boys. Louis and Ernest Linden and Charles Darrow. The jury which tried the case compromised matters by returning a verdict cf assault and bittery instead of assault with a dangerous weapon, and the court consequently was in a posJUOn to impose a light penalty. Hawley cried when he stood before" the Judge, and ap peared to be very penitent. His brother, G. "W. Hawley, a minister, who came here from Nebraska to attend the trial, paid tho fine. Decides Against Schneider. The demurrer to the petition of D. W. Butler and a number of others to have the license of Captain Herman Schneider to sell liquors at Montavilla revoked, was overruled by County Judge Web-' ster yesterday. The petitioners allege thit some of the signers, to Schneider's peti tion, which he filed In November, 1S02 are not residents of the precinct. Schneider denies this, but his attorney' took the position that the court cannot In quire Into the matter now, and that those who oppose Schneider should have ap peared In court when he applied for a license, and remonstrated. That not hav ing done so, they hive no remedy at this time. The court thought . otherwise, and lie has enough legal signers, or he. may carry the case to the higher courts on Oia Iftzal p.olnta Involved. So paid the license for a year, 3400, and be will con tinue to urge his right to run his place of business until his yer expires. Articles of Incorporation. J. A. Reid, P.alph W. Hoyt and F. H.

CORVALLTS, Or., May li-KTo" the Editor.) I read with much interest Mr. Mill's communication in Sunday's Ore gonlan relative to "Our wheat -deteriorating. However, the results of compara tive tests with Winter wheat made at the Oregon Experiment Station do not cor roborate Mr. Mill's statement. For some reason the soft, white wheats have al ways been popular with Western Oregon farmers and millers. These wheats, we know to be deficient in gluten, but the flour seems to be satisfactory to the local consumers. At this station for several years we have been growing some 40 varieties of Winter wheat. These have been selected from time to time with the object of se curing, if possible, a better wheat forHhe Willamette Valley than the varieties heretofore generally grown in this sec tion. The station some three years since began an improvement of what is commonly known as Oregon White Winter wheat. This wheat Is supposed to have been In troduced to tho Pacific Northwest by the Hudson Bay Company. It has been grown at least 60 years In the Willamette Val ley. The work of improving this wheat consisted Blmply in the selecting of ln dlvidual heads that came up to what was considered a good standard and the grain was graded by a fanning mill, electing the largo, well-shapen kernels for seed. The result of this work is quite grat ifying as this wheat at present for yield, type and general characteristics ranks with the very best of the Winter wheats grown at the station. The. .yield of., the Oregon White Winter In , 1601 was, 41 bushels per acre isOS; 40 bushels. Some time since Professor Harry Snyder, chemist of the Minnesota Exper iment Station requested some Oregon wheat for cereal investigation. Several bushels of the Oregon White Winter wheat grown at this station were for warded to him and he recently reports as follows: "The wheat we received from you sometime ago -for -experimental-pmv poses has been used and. found very sat isfactory for tho work. While it is not a wheat of high nitrogen content. It is valuable for many purposes, particularly for pastry use. Unclose a sample of flour made in our small experimental mill. One of the Inspectors of a large milling Arm In Minneapolis suggested that this kind of wheat and flour would, in the end. prove more valuablo If advertised .and pushed for pastry purposes In Eastern and other markets rather than a bread flour. He suggested putting up the flour in small packages for family use with this object In view. I am offering this simply as a suggestion as I know you arc glad to receive Ideas, whether they prove val uable or not." While we have no data relative to the quality and the general character of this wheat 50 years ago. it is altogether prob able that the wheat is fully as good at present as 1t was then.

Tax Is Not Bnrdeniomt Xea Wke PredHce the Gold'De Not Op- pose It. BAKER CITY, Or., May 12. (To the Editor.) I have lived in Baker County a number of years, and know something of her people, her wants and business in terests. There is not a more Just, gener ous and liberal class of people anywhere In the state." This Is especially true of what is known as the mining class. It 4was a very natural thing for the mining class In --particular to oppose the passage ,of, what is known-asthe Eddy corpora tion Iaw From necessity, -practically all the mining inthis section is carried on by and, through corporations, and. such, a law would affect such Interests to the extent of the corporation tax required by such law. There are two classes of min ing men In this section one that spends his own money, and the othep that spends the nioriey of somebody else. The man that spends his own money Is not objecting to the Eddy corporation law. As compared with other slates, the tax Imposed by the Eddy law is, to-" say the least, very moderate. It is far be low the tax Imposed by any other- state In the Union for a similar purpose. New Jersey and Delaware are recognized as leading states In the Union on the ques tion of corporation tax, and nearly all leading corporations of the United States are incorporated under the laws of the states of New Jersey. Delaware and West Virginia, or states that have similar laws and levy a similar franchise tax on cor porations. The corporation tax Imposed by the Eddy law Is one-tenth of what it would be under the laws of New Jersey, and is one-fifth of whatitwould.be under the laws oj West Virginia. Every state in the Union that has a reputable corpora tion law requires a higher corporation tai than is required to be paid under the provisions of the Eddy law. No well-informed man on this question will dispute this statement. For one,.Iam t(red.-and '. somewhat disgusted in seeing Baker Coun ty mlsrepresfefetcd on fHis. question!'. A person, irom reading the newspaper articles published at the instance of W: C. Cowgill. of this city, would be led to believe that this whole section of the state, and the mining men in particular, were up In arms against tho provisions of the Eddy law. If, for any reason, this question, should be submitted to the peo ple and a vote taken thereon, there would be some very material surprises. As stated, the people of this county are Just, generous and law-abiding citizens. A pe tition has been circulated, and to some extent has been signed by a number of people who do not know anything about this question, and who relied upon state ments and representations made to them by interested parties at tho time It was signed. With some very few exceptions, the class of mining men that actually produce tho gold are not the moving fac tors in the fight against this bill. In fact, some of them are heartily In favor of It. The people who have investigated this bill are not opposing It. It has largely been opposed by people who are relying upon statements and representations made by and through Interested parties. It is a sure thing that Cowgill Is being paid by some one to travel over this state- and make this fight. -and the people in this particular section of the state are at a loss to understand by whom he Is being paid. He certainly is not a public bene factor to tho extent of the Interest he has taken in this matter. And, by the way, who is this man Cow gill?" Whom does he represent? By whom larJio paid? "What is bis. business or oc cupation? What commercial standing or rating does he have where he Is best known? Upon what "meat does this, our Caesar, feed that he hath grown so great"? Has he any property Interests anywhere whatever? Was his name ever on the tax roll 'anywhere, or Is it on the iax "roll now? Was he ever engaged In mining, or is he now engaged in min ing?" What mining interests does he rep resent? By whom Is he employed? For whom Is he speaking? And for whom is he authorized to speak? And. by the- way, who Is this man J. W. Boland. that so promptly came to hl3 rescue in a signed telegram? What does Boland represent? In what particular mine is he now or ever was ho interested, and what are his particular motives in opposing this measure? What commu nity of interest is there between the Eddy corporation law and the portage railroad bill, and why should one be attached to the other? Why should mining men be in terested" in defeating the portage railway bill, or why should tho persons who are opposing the portage railway bill be in terested in defeating the Eddy corpora tion bill? Do the promoters of this scheme imagine that the people have been or will be. deceived in this matter? Will Mr. Cowgill furnish an itemized statement of the persons who have contributed funds to his expenses, and how many leading and reputable mining men in this sec tion have subscribed to that fund? For one, I protest against Baker County being placed in any such false position and being misrepresented all over the state on this particular' question. The conservative, substantial mining Inter ests have long' been convinced that It is far better to submit to the provisions of the Eddy bill than to arouse and antag onize public 'opinion and run tho gauntlet of future legislation. MINER. VALUE OF A PORTAGE ROAD. Great Benefit to Producers of East ern Oregon. THE DALLES, Or.. May 12. (To the Editor.) I notice another ond of W. C. Cowglll's letters In the Sunday Oregonlan Intended, tp prejudice thanlnds of some people In .favor of the referendum ,to kill the proposed portage railroad bill. The letter -referred to does not seem to indicate .the writer to- be a fair-minded or temperate man. as -the most of his statements are radical and erroneous, and have the - ring of tho "hot-air politician." Mr. Cowgill seems to assume that the State Legislators were a bad lot. con spiring for the bad of the people. He evidently also thinks that the Board of Trade of Portland doesn't know as much as he, and. it is, therefore, up to him to look after the interests of the "business men, tollers and producers." The truth- is that the classes which Mr. Cowgill has.- referred to iir particular who have-, given- the subject any serious thought are of the opinion that the port age road-would do. a great amount of good, and would be but a very light tax on any individual toiler or producer. The portage at the Cascade Locks built by the state about 'ten years ago proved to be an Immense benefit, .not only to the producers and consumers Jn the neigh borhood of The Dalles, but the low freight rates which Immediately- went Into ef fect at that tlmo extended to the terri tory east and ,south of The Dalles for 250 ta 300 miles. - A portage at The Dalles would benefit .the greater part of Eastern Oregon - - , - Thee assertions can be proved by the testimony of hundreds of people living In the locality referred -to, scattered over hundreds pt square miles, who know Just what freight., rates they paid, before and after the former state portage was put In. The United States Government granted the right of "way, br privilege, at least, of using tho narrow strip of ground nec essary to lay two rails of iron on at the Cascade Locks -where the passage was exceedingly narrow, and It will no doubt do the same thing at The Dalles, when the application is put in to tho proper au thorities, and by the right parties. These fights, however, will never be secured if left to thoce whose interest it la to have i Hour On SATURDAY, MAY 16th, to test the advertising value of The Oregonian as compare with other Daily papers, we will sell the BEAUTIFUL HIGH GRADE WHITE ENAMELED -BARNES BICYCLES at the ridiculously low pripe of $19.90 for one half hour in the afternoon between 1 and 1:30, and in the evening between 7 and 7:30 o'clock, only. 5 minutes before or after the time mentioned they will, sell for the regular prices of $35 $40 and $50. . ... 1 No Wheels Sold IF YOU WANT BICYCLE CUT Remember ing between SPOKANE a portage railway proposition sidetracked or killed. It would be Interesting to many If The Oregonlan will kindly refer to the gross revenue of the state from taxation and state what amount would be required from each Individual as his share of the $160,000 appropriated for the state port age, provided his assessment was $1000. I assume that If the tollers and pro ducers were classed together, it will be found that a' majority" or them! are not assessed for as much as $1000 by the County Assessors in their respective coun ties. J. TRIMBLE. Conferences Suspended. The conferences "between Superintendent James P. O'Brien, of the O. R. & N. rail lines and the committee of engineers and firemen were suspended yesterday for the present. Mr. O'Brien made a counter proposition in regard to the revision of the wage schedule and tho committee has taken It under consideration.. further conferences- will be. held when the com mittee has decided whether this proposi tion Is acceptable. - Bookkeeper Charged " With TJjef t.
