The Myers will contest was con tinued at 2 o'clock yesterday after noon. Judge. Webster of the County Court listened all the afternoon to the testimony of witnesses who knew the late Mr. and Mrs. George T. Myers. The most of the testimony went to how the condition of Mrs. Myers before her death and what Mr. Myers said regarding her condition at that time and subsequent to her .decease. George T. Myers, Jr., one of the heirs, was placed on the stand during the afternoon, nnd corroborated the testimony of other witnesses. He Identified a number of letters Intro duced by counsel for Mrs. Frances Ptevens. his sister, who Is contest ing the will. These letters were writ ten, for the most part, during 1912, the year the will was made. The largest part of them were addressed to the daughter. Myers testified that his father had written to Senator Mitchell at one time, to Inquire what sort of man Dr. Robinson was. Mitcli ell had f-poken to Senator Hanna about It. and replied to the elder Myers that RohlnHon was not reliable. In one of the letters from Myers to Mrs. tUevens at Ashland, he says he left a bottle of champagne o( the taole. He says. "1 have told you to alvv-ays put wine on Its side. If you don't It will get stale. If you cannot get fruit for your mother in the town, nor wine, go to the Pullman dining car conductor, and he will give you fresh fruit. If he has It." In another letter, written from Se attle. Myers wanted to have a phone put In at the "Pratt home," where Mrs. Myers was stopping, that he mltfht talk to his wife. He says. "I know the doctor will suffer, as he will not take any chances. I fear he will overdo himself." Mrs. Francis Testifies. Mrs. Francis was the first . witness called yesterday afternoon. She testi fied as follows: "I knew Mr. Myers before he was married. I lived in the family from the time Mrs. Myers married him, or very soon afterward, until Just before the birth of George Myers, Jr. I was also In the family between June, ll01, and April. 1903. It was during the last week In June, 1901, that Mrs. Myers became ill." "Were you with Mrs. Myers at the time she fainted in the bathroom?" asked Judge Pipes. "Yes, I walked with her to the bath room the Sunday after the 4th of June, and she fainted. She complained at that time of a pain In her side. Dr. Robin son always said she had Intermittent fever. I heard him say that many times. "When Mrs. Myers went to Ashland T was in St. Vincent's Hospital. A few d3K after she came back to Portland I came hack from Seattle, where I had gone after she left the city. After her return from Ashland Dr. Robinson was fit the house every day to attend her, but he didn't say at that time what was the mntier with her. "The Monday before she died she was taken ill with a chill. Dr. Robinson and Dr. Rockey went Into the room together. 7 suppose they made an examination. Before she died Dr. Rockey came back a lain several times. "After his wife died I had a number of conversations with Mr. Myers at his borne concerning the causes leading up to her death. He said. 'I was a coward, or I would have called another doctor.1 The only thing I ever heard him say re garding the improper treatment Dr. Rob Inton had given his wife was that he didn't know what was the matter with Mrs. Myers. He called the doctor an old scoundrel." .Mrs. Prentiss Called. The witness was excused and Mrs. F. 8. R. Prentiss called to the stand. She said she had visited the Myers home a nunTber of times, and was there in June, 11X11. She said she was also there from June 10 to the last of October. ,"I had been down In Southern Oregon and Northern California, and came up at Mr. Myers' request to visit his wife. , "Mrs. Myers was not very well then, was she?" asked Judge Pipes. "No, but she was more distressed men tally than anything else." The witness then testified that she saw Dr. Robinson at the Myers home In June. She said that when she first went there ?.Trs." Myers had a fever almost every day. and that at the time they took Mrs. Myers to Ashlnnd It was almost con tinuous. She said she (Mrs. Prentiss was there at the time Mrs. Myers fainted, and that when Mrs. Kranois called for help she went to her asslstanoe. "The doctor didn't know at first what the pain In her side was," continued the witness, "but at last he said It was sci atica, and gave me some liniament to rub on. He gave me some anodyne to relieve the pain. He also gave me several other remedies. He had some drops there for' her heart that were ln the house be fore T came there. He said that If she had any heart spells to give her some of those drops. He said she had an un usually weak heart for such a large-appearing, healthy-looking woman." "Did she ever take any quinine?" was asked. "Yes, 1 think she did. I knew she had oninlne in the house, and had taken it formerly. After Mrs. Myers had been sick fr four or five weeks. .Mr. Myers became vTv much worried because she didn't im prove. Me asked his wife If she would like to have Dr. Morrow. She did not want to cross Dr. Robinson. However, one day when I was treating her she looked up and said. 'Oh. If 1 had had Dr. Morrow or Dr. Darr 1 would have been out of here long ago.' Dr. Robinson made the remark once that if she didn't get betfer soon he would call In another phy , slcian and give up the cane.' l'ndr cross-examination Mrs. Prentiss SHid her name was Kelly when she was at the Myers home. Sjhe had married since. She said her home is now In San 1'rancisco. She said Mr. Prentiss Is en gaged In the photographic paper business In New York. "And does he get out the labels for Mr. Myers salmon cans?" "No. no. he d-als In photographic pa per," answered the witness. tieorge T. Myers, Jr., Testifies. George T. Myers. Jr.. was then put on the stand. He said he was 39 years old. that he became associated with his father in the cannery business In lsjfi, and that Mr. Stewart associated with the elder Myers In the cannery business about 13 years ago. He was asked if his father had ever talked with him concerning the will and said that he had. It was about Decem ber 24, 1908. The two were at the Alex ander Hotel, in Dos Angeles. "We were sitting there one night." said Myers, "and father said, 'I have left nearly everything to you. I don't want you to let that man Stevens have the handling of one cent of this money that 1 have earned.' Father and I had gone to Los Angeles on a pleasure trip, and we were there a week, or a week and a half. This Is the only time that I remember of there being a conversation about the will. "He told me fhat Mr. Dolph had his will, and said 'If anything ever happens to me you can get the will from Mr. Dolph.' He said be wanted Mr. Dolph and Mr. Simon to take care of the property for him. tThe conversation lasted for 10 or 15 minutes. "I was not in Portland at the time my mother was taken ill. That was In June, 1901. I was in Seattle that Summer and Fall. My father was In Seattle and Portland, about two-thirds of the time In Portland." Here followed testimony corroborative of that given by other witnesses, the witness saying his father told him that Dr. Robinson,, had said the climate at Green River Hot Springs was not good and Mrs. Myers should go to a higher altitude. "This was about the middle of September," continued the witness, "and I visited her about October 21, 1901. I L William H. Steele. ALBANY. Or.. Feb. 2ti. (Special.)

She was then In bed. and could hardly talk, she was so weak. Dr. Robinson was attend ing her. My sister was with her, and they had a nurse by the name of Drake, from San Francisco, I think." The witness said that Dr. Holt C. Wil son was the family physician and that Dr. Morrow was once called In, that they had attended the family before Dr. Rob inson was called. He said he had been to Ashland within the last month and had found a number of Dr. Robinson's prescriptions, which had been filled at MoNair's drugstore In Ashland. Mr. Myers was then withdrawn from the witness stand and Dr. K. A. J. Mac kenzie placed on. the stand as an expert witness to explain the effects of acute nephritis and peritonitis and a pelvic abscess. He said a pelvic abscess should be detected, on account of the pro nounced symptoms accompanying it, very soon after the physician has been attend ing the patient, provided the physician attended the patient regularly. Myers was then recalled to the stand. After Identifying a number of his father's letters, he told of his father writing to Senator Mitchell about Dr. Robinson, and as It was 5 o'clock the court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. ASKS $16,852 FOR LEG A. W. Frazee Sues Standard Box & Lumber Co. A. W. Frazee has brought suit against the Standard Box & Lumber Company to recover $16,852 damages. The complaint. Which has been filed in the Circuit Court, alleges that owing to the carelessness of the company Frazee lost a leg on May 11, 1907. He says he was required to work as off-bearer near a rolling crane, to which grab-hooks were attached. These were for the purpose of holding cants of timber while they were being transfer red from one. part of the mill to another. It is alleged.that owing to the negligence of the box company the hooks were used after they were much -worn, and that, not enough hooks were furnished to make the handling of the timber safe. The timber slipped from the hooks and fell on Fra zee, crushing his right leg so it bad to be amputated. He asks $16,000 for the injury, J1100 on account of the services of a phy sician and for medicine, and $7a2 for the wages he lost. March Jurors Are Drawn.

The Interna tional & Great Northern Railway Com pany, organized in 1S73 and re-organized In 1S92, operates 1158 miles of road in Texas, one branch running from Long view to Laredo and other branches from Fort Worth and from Palestine to Gal veston. The company has a bonded in debtedness of $25,Xi7.053 and capital stock is issued to the maount of $9,755,000. George J. Gould is president of the In ternational & Great Northern Railway Company and Its main offices are in Pal estine, Texas. Concerning the appointment at Fort Worth, Tex., today of a receiver for the International and Great Northern Com pany, George Gould, president of the, com pany, tonight said: The receivership for the International & Great Northern should cause no surprise and Is due to conditions and reasons almost entirely local. At a time when revenues are the leanest and business is at the low est ebb. tli company is called upon by the slate commission to make additions and Improvements Involving the expenditure of several millions of dollars, and to proceed in these exj-'endltures upon a schedule pre scribed by the commission without regard to current revenues or the ability of the company to secure funds to meet the 'ex penditures. These orders have come on top pf a' de crease In gross earnings for the last ,our months of $9N9.O0O. or a decrease at the rate of nearly $3,000,000 a year. It has been Impossible to reduce expenses anywhere near proportionately. Even where the earn ings are as large as formerly, they would not provide for these extensive and immense outlays, and the laws of Texas do not ad mit, even if financial markets did. of the issue and sale of securities to do the work required of the company. , The orders of the commission have the effect of laws and the requirements now placed on the company without the reve nues, the credit, the securities or the market to provide the money means such Insolvency as would under the laws of Texas empower the state authorities to apply for a receiver ship. What I have said Is not Intended as any criticism of the Texas authorities or of their action. CUT TELEGRAPHERS' WAGES Levey Makes Proposition That May Be Accepted. ST. PAUL Feb. 26.

This affair will be under the auspices of the Hoo Hoo order of Washington and an invitation has been extended to Nearly all our little ills come through inactive bowels. Those days that you lose because you don't feel right Cascarets will save them all. In the old dys, physic was dreadful calomel, castor oil, salts or cathartics. '.. .- And they were worse than they seemed, for they irritated the stomach and bowels. . They acted much as pepper acts in the nostrils. They flooded the bowels, with fluids. But those fluids were digestive juices. And a waste today means a lack tomorrow. You secured relief, but you were actually worse off than without it. It's different with Cascarets. Their effect is the same as tl stimulate the bowels to natu Their effect is the same as that of laxative foods, or of exercise. They stimulate the bowels to natural action. No griping, no irritation. They act The old way, too, was to take large doses of physic. People waited until the bowels were clogged. The new way is to take one Cascaret when you need it. Carry the box in your pocket or purse. Ward off the troubles instantly. The modern plan is to keep at your best. The old way wasted too mapy good hours. Cascarets are 'candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists, but never in bulk. Be sure you get the genuine, with C C C on every tablet. The price is 50c, 25c and TEN CENTS I ' I ' ' L. a n pi pf The only Genuine POROUS PLASTER All others are imitations.
