13 THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1907. SAYS WITNESSES E FALSELY Judge Gantenbeih Makes Pointed Declaration Dur ing Conrad Trial. STATE IS TO INVESTIGATE Criminal Court Orders District At torney's orfice to Inquire Into Glaring Discrepancies in Tes timony of Certain Persons. It is probable that the indictment of several witnesses for perjury will follow the close of the trial of the case of the state against John Conrad, charged with placing Essie Watkins,' his wife, in a house of ill repute. Conrad is now being- tried before JudRe Gantenbein In the State Circutt Court. An in vestigation will be made by Assis tant District Attorney Moser as to the truth of certain statements made by Watkins afid other witnesses who have been on the stand in the Conrad case. According to the declaration mado by Judge Gantenbein in open court yester day, some of the witnesses have com mitted perjury. "Perjury is a serious crime," said the court, "yet that it is becoming common Is evidenced by the testimony given in this case. I would'-llke to have an in vestigation made, and those witnesses who have lied on the stand here brought to justice." The attorneys for the defense and As sistant District Attorney Moser for the state said thev were ready to suspend the trials for a week in order -to havej such an Investination made, but the court thought best to continue with the healing, and said the perjury question will be inquired into later. Conrad was called to the stand in his own behalf and said that he did not consent to his wife going into her ne farious business at 335 Davis street. He complained that he had been continu ally "roasted" in the newspapers to his great injury. The District Attorney asked him what he considered a roast, upon which .he replied, "Just what you are giving me now." "I did not Intend to roast you," re plied the lawyer, "and do not intend to do so now. I only want to get the facts In this case." ' Conrad Blames Bruin. Conrad blamed Police Captain Patrick Bruin for most of his troubles. Frank Hennessy, clerk of the Police Court, said on the witness stand that he "had not liked" articles appearing in the newspapers exposing or attacking the members of the police force, and that on account of such articles he himself cherished a bitterness toward the re porters who,, wrote them. Essie Watkins again took the witness stand yesterday morning, coming into court with her account books, ready, to give the date of the opening of her es tablishment, first on Stark street and later, on Davis street. Though District Attorney Moser ob jected to her testimony, the woman told the jury, as she wiped the tears from her eyes with a ready handkerchief, that If she were acquitted she would give up her business on Divis' street and would live with John Conrad again as lils wife, "that it, if he will have me back now," she added. She said she opened the place on Davis street in spite of the pro tests of Conrad, that she had made her own living since she was seven years old, that Conrad had never supported her, that when Conrad called to see her it was to talk over private affairs and that he had called but three of four times at tho Davis-street house. "I tried to conduct a respectable lodging-house on Stark street," she con tinued, "but Bruin had It in for me. He raided the place every little while, until I could get no respectable people to re main with me. He told me that women of -my class never refcrrmed, and that I had better go down to the North End, where I belonged." Witness Not Qualified. Ben F. Allen, a singer who is em ployed in Conrad's saloon, was called to the stand by the defense to prove that Conrad lived In rooms over his saloon, but when it developed that Allen had been with Conrad since March of this year he was quickly dismissed. Mr. Moser. however, expressed his willing ness to have the private affairs of Con rad gone into, which he said would give him moie latitude In introducing . evi dence. I F. L. Helney, a contractor, was placed on the stand by the defense. He said that between August 1, 190. and Sep tember 21, lfW, the Davis-street house was being repaired by carpenters in his employ. He did not know enough about the arrangement of the double house to say positively whether or not Essie Watkins was living there then. The technicalities raised during the trial were argued In the afternoon by attorneys for the state and for the de fense. The case probably will go to the jury mis morning. Essie Watkins will be tried in the Juvenile Court later on a charge of. con tributing to the delinquency of Hryear old Alice Francis, who was found living in me jjavis-sireet nouse as an inmate. SAYS BOXES WERE POORLY SET Railroadman Bases 'Suit on Xeglect of Doctors. Alleging that the surgeons in the employ of che O. R. & N. Co. did not properly set the broken bones of his arm and wrist, Harry P. Warner asks $10,00,') damages, having filed suit in the Circuit Court yesterday to obtain this amount. In the complaint he says he paid 40 cents a month hospital dues, so that when he fell from a timber while in the employ of the company he should have had proper medical at tention. He says he has been rendered a crtrple for life as a result of negli gence and incompetence upon the part of the physicians who set the broken bones when he was taken to St. Vin cent's Hospital after an accident. SAYS 1IVBBY FLASHED A GUN Mary R. McDonald Asks a Divorce From Dangerous Spouse. Charging that her husband threatened !o kill ber and their two children, and that he drew what she thought was a revolver, Mary R. McDonald has filed suit in the Circuit Court against Stephen B. McDonald for divorce. She says they were married in this city February 1, 3S93, but that when her husband mis treated her she went to San Francisco and worked as cashier in a restaurant for three months. She says she returned home about Christmas of 1906, on a visit SWOR to the children, but that her husband's continued abuse again drove her away. She alleges that on September 2 of this year she was standing at the corner of Second and Taylor streets with her brother and his wife, when her husband approached and told her If she did not go home at once he would kill the two children. Fearing he would carry out his threat, she immediately took a car for home, but upon arriving there found her husband had entered the house and locked all the doors. When she de manded admittance, she says he told her to go away, or he would shoot her, and pointed something at her which looked like a revolver. She ran away and has never been back. She says he has re peatedly accused her of being untrue to him. As McDonald is earning enough to pay for the support of the two children, aged 11 and 13 years, Mrs. McDonald Is willing to abide by the Court's decision as to their custody. Verdict Against Shoe Company, In the case of John Rometsch against the Goodman Brothers' Shoe Company, tried yesterday before Judge Frazer, In the Circuit Court, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff in the sum of $93.75. The suit was brought because of a misunderstanding regarding the lease for ground upon which the establishment of the shoe company is situated.- The case was tried originally in Justice Reld's court, and a verdict returned there on December 24. 1906, for the plaintiff in the sum of J107.50. ACTOR LIKES THE CITY LOUIS JAMES WILL, BOLD A HOME HERE IX PORTLAND. Says the Time Is Not Past for Prof itable Investment in. Local . Real Estate. Louis James, the actor, after visiting Portland off and on fbr the past 25 years, has become so, impressed with the city that he has decided to invest in Portland property. "If I had done so on my first trip to Portland," he said yesterday, "I would be a millionaire today. But it Is far from being too late to do so yet. Portland will have 1,000,000 population within the next 25 years: and I want to get some of the benefit of it my self. "I shall not only buy property here, but I am also seriously thinking of establishing my Summer home here. I never saw such a glorious Summer climate as this is. My permanent home, as near as an' actor can have one, you know, is on Long Island. But Summers back there are hot as er well they are hot. Here in Portland you have the coolest, clearest Summer climate In the world." "Mrs. James is In love with Port land. She spends her time in an auto mobile, and reports that your natural scenery cannot be excelled In the world. She, too, wants a home here, and when a woman decides on such a thing, you know that the poor man in tho case simply must supply it, and the quicker the better. " "As for acting, there is little to be said that is new. As everyone knows, perhaps, I have been doing Shake epeare for years, and I find that it pays, both from an artistic and a financial standpoint. This talk one hears in some quarters that the taste of the American public in such mat ters is on the down grade Is all non sense. I find that the people all over the country come to see the greatest of play-writers just aa regularly as they buy Christmas presents. It Is consid ered a part of everyone's education am culture to see certain plays, includ ing those of Shakespeare. No ma,n or woman can claim to be. educated who has not seen Hamlet, Othello or Mac beth, for Instance. What the public will not stand for Is to have Shake speare murdered by a lot of barnstorm ers In cheese-cloth costumes. And from tills, perhaps, comes tho occa sional cry that 'Shakespeare does not pay." Just put him on the boards in proper shape, and Shakespeare will pay as steadily as a good farm, and for just as long." INTEREST NEW CREMATORY Sharp Fight Expected in Council Over Incinerator. Final selection of a sitefor the munici pal garbage crematory and the adoption f a new building ordinance will be the most Important business before the Coun cil at Its regular session this afternoon. Large, numbers of citizens are especially interested in one or both of these issues and it Is probable that the attendance will be record-breaking. ' Although the ways and means and health and police committers have recom mended that an appropriation of $60,000 be mnde to erect a new Incinerator on tne site of the present one. It is probable that there will be a sharp fight before this ac tion Is confirmed. The Health Boaul had previously, recommended a location at the mouth of Sullivan's Gulch and several of the Councllmen are known to prefer this to the present site, which Is far from the center of the city and will necessitate a long haul. I Residents of the East Side, who were Jubilant over their victory at the joint committee meeting Monday, are expected to be out in force today to see that the Council approves the committee's action. They are opposed to locating the Incinera tor on the East Side under any circum stances and can be counted on to enter strenuous objection if any move is made in this direction. On the other hand members of the Health Board will be present to urge a central location, preferably the one at the mouth of Sullivan s Gulch. Residents of the First ward will probably attend, also, as they.are very anxious to get rid of the crematory that has stood In their midst for years and are not enthusiastic about having another one .built in its place. It is known that Mayor Lane is opposed to going so far from the center of the city. If the old site is selected, there Is every reason to believe that the Mayor will veto the ordinance. The building ordinance that Is to be In troduced by the special building committee is an exceedingly lengthy measure, cover ing In detail the building regulation. It has been in course of preparation for months. During the past two weeks Building Inspector Spencer has been de voting all his time to completing it. He expects to have it in shape for the meet ing today &nd the building committee wlU convene to pass on It a half nour before time for the Council to meet. Under the new law mill constructed warehouses, and office and hotel build ings, protected from fire by metal lath and plaster may be erected to a height of six stories. Under the present law, a limit of four stories is set on all buildings other than those of steel or reinforced concrete' Architects and builders have been clamoring for a more liberal ordi nance in this particular ever since the passing of the present one, several months ago. ' A Londoner advertises that he wants to exchange his "motor bicycle, fast, light, 2 J. A. P. engine, everything of the best, new," for an Invalid carriage.

This will be one of the educational featur.es. and co'mlng on Saturday will permit of the attendance of all school children In the county who will be the guests of the fair for that day. Mayor Short announced the Portland Railway Company would give car service every hour up to 11 o'clock at night and will run as many cars as are needed to accommodate the crowds.

OPEN CONFERENCETUESDAY METHODISTS WILL MEET FIRST AT GR"ACE 'CHURCH. - Portland Ministers Will Endeavor to Secure Organization of More Swedish M. E. Organizations. Twenty thousand person i of Swedish birth and parentage In the Oregon Con ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, are to receive attention next year, if the plans of the Methodist fit ll'll l - - ' " y v - v, - - Bishop David 11. Moore, Who Will Preoide Over Coming Methoditct Conference. Ministerial Association are approved at the annual session, to be held' at Grace Church beginning next Tuesday. By a resolution Introduced by Dr. T. B. Ford, of Sunnyside Church, tl.e conference will be asked to take up this work Im mediately. "The Swedish work is very important," said Dr. Ford yeesterday In discussing the matter. Until now it has been neglected, and the time Is ripe for our church in the Oregon conference to recognize Its importance and establish the work. At present there is but one Swedish- Methodist Episcopal church within tho bounds of the Oregon conference, and that is in Portland. In November the general board of Home Missions and Church Extension will meet here, it be ing a very noted assembly of the church, and to this committee a petition for funds will be made to establish the work among the Swedish population. The annual session of the Oregon con ference, one of the most Important in Western Methodism, promises to be a busy one. It is scheduled to open with a big reception next Tuesday night at Grace Church, of which Rev. Clarence True Wilson Is pastor, and will continue with morning, afternoon and evening meetings until early In the following week, when the ministerial assignments will be read by Bishop David Hastings Moore. He is now at Seattle, where this morning, tie will open the annual session of the Puget Sound conference. From there he will come to Portland. At this time it looks as though there will be very few changes In Portland pulpits and there Is also much probability that many of the pastors throughout the various' districts of the conference will be returned to their present pulpits. The official boards of many Portland churches have voted unanimously for the return of their various pastors, a request seldom ignored by the presiding bishop and his cabinet. Among those thus invited are Rev. W. H. Heppe, of Centenary Church; Rev. F. I. Young, of St.' John church; Dr. T. B. Ford, of ,Sunnyside church; Riev. James Moore, of jilount Tabor church "and Rev. C. H. Woolley, of JLaurelwood church. Rev. W. T. Kerr, of Woodstock church, has announced his determination to as sume the supernumerary relation at this session, and this will necessitate a new minister there. This Is said to have been a year of great prosperity throughout the con ference, ajid the reports from the pre siding elders are expected to show this when read. - During the year Sunnyside church made a notable forward step when it brought Miss Alrena B. Thomas from San Fran cisco to do parish deaconess work. She is the first licensed deaconess to carry on that branch of the church work In Portland for many years, and has been so successful that the church board has voted to continue the feature. It is hoped that a deaconess home and hos pital may be established here in the near future. NEW PASTOR TO BE NAMED Successor to Dr. fthort Will Be Se lected This Month. No suggestions as to who should be selected to. succeed Rev. Francis Burgette Short as pastor of the Taylor-street Meth odist Church were made at the quarterly conference held at the First Methodist Church Monday night. Bishop David H. Moore, who Is now on his "way to attend the conference at Seattle, is to decide this question. The salary paid by the Tayor street church is $2500, and a home at the parsonage, 221 Eleventh street. The selec tion ' of the new pastor will be made, doubtless, at the annual session of the Oregon Conference of Methodist Churches, which opens' next Tuesday. Dr. Short has been pastor of the Taylor-street church for three years and during the time when his health permitted rendered efficient service. The first time he was " seriously 111, however, he was away from his pulpit for three months, and the second time six months. Dr. Short recently left for Wilmington, Del., where he has been visiting his wife's re latives. He Is just recovering from an attack of typhoid fever. During his last absence from the city his pulpit has been occupied by Rev. Everett M. Hill, who formerly had charge of an English-speak ing church in Mexico. Fumigate Steamer Hoquiam.'
