14 THE "MORNING- OKEGOIAN, TUESDAY, " JUNE 16, 1908. CHINESE ARSENAL T Weapons of Tong Warfare Are Used as Evidence in Trial of Lem Woon. TWO JURORS YET NEEDED Ten Accepted of (2 7 Examined, Six Being Challenged by Defense! and Two by State What Consti tutes Reasonable Doubt? Knives, revolvers, a repeating rifle, hatchets. Iron billy-clubs, brass knuckles and tallow candles in miscellaneous as sortment were brought to the courtroom yesterday, to be used as exhibits In the Lem Woon highbinder murder trial. The weapons secured by the police from the Chinese were so heavy, and so numerous that two men were required to bring them to court. When the proper time comes they will be introduced by the state's counsel as evidence of the tong war which resulted in the slaughter of Lee Dai Hoy, wilh which Lem Woon and Yee Gueng stand accused. The weapons were checked up and placed in the custody of Deputy Clerk Smith. They are as follows: Two .41 callher Colt's revolvers; one .38-caliber Smith & Wesson special revolver; one .44 caliber Winchester rifle; two new hatchets; eight knives, of miscellaneous size and design, all sharp and ready for use: four iron bllly-elubs; two pairs brass kunckles: one-half box .41-caliber cart ridges; four tallow candles; ten boxes .38 caliber cartridges. Yee Gueng was to have been placed on trial yesterday for the same offense with which Lem Woon is charged, but his case was continued and will stand or fall according to the verdict of the jury in Im Woon's case. A trial for Yee Gueng will, of course, be necessary in case Lem Woon is convicted. Charge Against Defendant. Lem Woon is charged with having wilfully murdered Lee Dai Hoy, a local Chinese merchant, at the entrance to a Swelling house at Fourth and Pine streets, March 7, last. Together with Yee Gueng, he Is said to have lain in wait for his vic tim and then to have shot him in cold blood. The murder is said to have been the result of rivalry between factions of the Bow On Tong. Sheriff Stevens searched no Chinamen yesterday for concealed weapons, al though the courtroom was filled with Ori entals in the afternoon. Careful watch Is being kept, however, that no violence may be attempted until the trial is com pleted. Lem Woon, young and slender, sits behind his attorneys, watching care rully every move of court, counsel or Jurors. At 5 o'clock last night only ten jurors had been accepted of 27 examined since the case commenced FYiday afternoon. The accepted Jurors are: J. H. Barton, W. E. Brooks. Alonzo Perkins, H. W. Silton. W. W. George, H. C. Haack, Al fred Anderson, F. W. Carroll, James An derson and William Cobb. Only three of these were secured yesterday. The jurors excused are: Mark W. Gill, E. G. Goding, O. C. R. Kills. John Fisher, W. B. Buell, Hunry W. Wagner, H. T. Faust," J. R. Gilstrap. Charles G. Bunte, Gus P. Clerin, J. S. Day, Thomas Condon; J.. Wallace Duirgy. F. M. Austin, E. H. Deery. James Bell and David Cathey. Nine of these were excused for cause by the court, six were peremptorily challenged by the de fense and two by the state. Question of Reasonable Doubt. The question of what constitutes a reas onable doubt came up yesterday after noon when F. H. Deery was under exam ination. Attorney Dan J. Malarkey, spe cial counsel for the state, challenged him for cause when .he said he would not con vict Lem should he entertain any doubt as to his guilt. Attorney Logan contested the challenge and saved an exception to the ruling of the court disqualifying the juror. Mr. Logan said a reasonable doubt was any doubt which a reasonable man might entertain. He referred to Judge Gantenbeln's definition, that a "reason able doubt is a reasonable doubt" and said it was simply not a whimsical doubt. In deciding the matter," Judge Bronaugh said that the law does not contemplate that the human mind attains the point where the conviction is absolutely positive as to a man's guilt. James Bell, who has been in the real estate business in Portland for three months, was disqualified because he said that if he had the sworn statements of five white men and five Cnlnamen, which were conflicting, he would believe the white men's testimony against that of the Chinese., During a flve-minute recess in the after noon. Attorney Logan took Attorney Ma larkey to task for making a loud remark In regard to some of the testimony while Juror H. C. Haack was standing almost at his elbow. Yesterday afternoon J. J. Fitzgerald en tered the case as special prosecutor with Mr. Malarkey. Three attorneys are now prosecuting the case. Deputy District At torney John Stevenson, Dan J. Malarkey and Mr. Fitzgerald. UEGIX THIRD TRIAli OF WALTON Bloody Handkerchief Said to Be Mask Is Introduced. The third trial of Charles Walton, the. xoung musician, charged with hold ing up a Willamette Heights streetcar and shooting Policeman Olaus Nelson on the night of September 1, 1904, -was begun in Judge Cleland's department of the Circuit Court yesterday. The jury wa completed during the afternoon, and the opening statements made by Deputy District Attorney Bert Haney and Attorney Henry St. Raynor. Be fore the hour for adjournment, 5 o'clock. Officer Nelson and G. A. Bing man. the motorman who was held up, had given their testimony. Bingman was shown a blood-stained white handkerchief and a dark over coat and slouch hat. He said t"hat Walton had a similar handkerchief about his face, just below his nose, and that the hat was pulled down over his eyes, so that little could be seen of -his face until the policeman and others began . to grapple with him. Bingman said that in the tussle the handkerchief slipped down over "Wal ton's head and was hanging about his neck In a bloody condition when he was received at the hospital. 'There it was removed, together with the coat, and his wounds dressed. Bingman positively identified Walton as the man who pointed- the revolver at him. He said the weapons of Walton and the policeman were not of the same size and he thought at the time that Wal ton's weapon was a ,32-callber. He had learned since, he said, that it was a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson. He said he helped the officer to handcuff Wal ton, and then remained at the scene of the hold-up. Twenty-eighth and Thurman streets, near the Fair Grounds, until the patrol wagon ar rived. Since Walton'e arrest, he said, SOI he had not been troubled with hold-up men. He believes it was AValton who once before held up his car when he was on the Portland Heights run. Officer Nelson's testimony was cor roborative of Bingman's, being similar to that given at previous trials. The jury which is trying the case is as follows: S. H. Davis, William Bur rington, C. P. Bradshaw, H. Hilde brand, C. L. Myers, J. T. Chlnnock, H. M. Wagner, Dave Fisher, Patrick Hol land, E. L. Aiken; George H. Keene and A. B. Bloomer. Seventeen Jurors were excused, as follows: W. B. Buell, O. C. R. Ellis. G. P. Clerin. H. R. Beckwith, C. P. Irvine. M. W. Gill, C. G. Bunte, Calvin Shepherd, J. W. Buirgy, J. R. Gilstrap, J. S. Day, John Fisher. H. J. Faust, C. W. Richards, E. F. Samuel, John Goodin, E. G. Goding. In order to complete the jury it was necessary for Judge Cleland to call a special venire of ten men yesterday noon. Walton was first tried three years ago and convicted of both charges. At that time, the trial being before Judge Cleland. Walton was sentenced to serve 25 years in the penitentiary. He was given a new trial by the Supreme Court because he had never entered his plea. The jury which heard the tes timony last week disagreed after five hours' deliberation Saturday night. The present, trial was begun at once be cause a witness was brought from Cal ifornia to testify for the state. Wal ton has sworn his innocence, saying he was a passenger on the car. As the handkerchief was not introduced at the former trial, being in the pocket of the overcoat when it was shown the witnesses, the accused man was not called on to tell how he came tcr have it about his neck after his arrest. ARGUE IX MYERS WILL CASE Ex-Senator Siirion Goes Carefully Into Testimony. The arguments In the will case of the wealthy salmon packer and state Senator, George T. Myers, were begun yesterday morning before Judge Web ster in the County Court. It is proba ble that they will not be completed be fore tonight or tomorrow morning, when the Court will take the case un der advisement. Whichever way it is decided it will probaBly be taken to the Supreme Court on technicalities. Ex-Senator Joseph Simon went care fully into the testimony of the chief witnesses on both sides yesterday, gathering here and there the links of testimony which went to strengthen the case of his client, George T. Myers, Jr. He contended that the testimony has shown Myers could not have been insanely deluded, as there was ground for his belief that Mrs. Myers was killed through" the mal-practice of a physician, and that he was employed at the instance of Mrs. Georgia Frances Stevens and Mrs. Myers against Mr. Myers' wishes. Wrhen Mrs. Stevens re fused to coincide with her aged father's belief, said Senator Simon, he deeded the bulk of his quarter-million dollar estate to his son, cutting the daughter oft with $20,000. This, counsel con tended, he had a right to do, if he chose. The will contest was brought by Mrs. Stevens on the ground that her father was insane when he signed the Instru ment. Argue St. John Injunction Friday.

ANGAIDS IS FIXED Will Load Lumber Cargo for Liverpool Direct. CHARTER PRICE NOT GIVEN Oregon Pine . Export Company Se cures British Ship for Long Voy age Steamship Bucrania and Bark Rochambeau Taken. The British ship Ancaios, 1704 tons, which has been in the harbor since early in April, was yesterday chartered to carry a cargo of . lumber from the Co lumbia River to Liverpool direct. This is rather an unusual charter for it is seldom that a lumber charter is listed for Liverpool or the "United Kingdom. The charter of the Ancaios was taken by the Oregon Pine Export Company, which concern has offices in the Com mercial Club building. The charter rate is not announced.

This method was adopted when it was found that she would be expected to accommodate some lengthy timbers which were impossible to take through the hatches. The work of. cutting the ports will be commenced im mediately, and in about one week it is expected to have her ready to receive her cargo. In addition to the charter of the Ancaios two other vessels were listed yesterday to load at this port. The first was the British steamship Bucrania, listed by the Pacific Export Lumber Com pany to load lumber here for the Orient. The other charter was the French bark Rochambeau, which was fixed to load new wheat for the United Kingdom. The Bucrania has been in the Calcutta trade for some time, and is expected to leave that port for the Columbia River in the near future. DANGER OF IXOOD ABATED Cooler Temperature Mitigates Possi bility of Overflow for Time Being. Cooler weather yesterday proved ex ceedingly welcome along the waterfront, for a great deal of the danger of the rapid rise of the Columbia and Willamette Rivers seemed mitigated. ' At its present stage the waters have not yet covered any of the lower docks, although at the Ains- worth structure it was said that at times the flood seeped through the floors. How ever, all merchandise or destructible property has been remdved to the upper floor, and little or no damage is expected as the result of the rising water. According to river men from up the Co lumbia, there is some danger of the flood impeding the operation of the Cascade Locks, for at present they are being op erated under difficulty, and with a con tinued rise of a few more inches, may be required to cease operation until the flood recedes. Acting Forecaster Lodholz announced yesterday that lie did not anticipate a much higher rise than at present, and stated as his belief that the waters would not encroach higher than 21 feet at Port land. Its present height is 19.9, and today the water may reach 20.5, providing that the weather remains at its present tern perature. ' One favorable feature of the flood at its present stage is that a fall of six tenths of a foot was noticeable at Riparia and while the waters rose slightly at other upper-river points, there was not enough to prove alarming. Cool weather prevailing over practically the entire Co lumbia basin favors the checking of the flood soon. CEMENT SHIP ARRIVES IN PORT Asgard, Norwegian Vessel, Brings 20,000 Barrels and Iron. The Norwegian ship Asgard, which ar rived at Astoria Saturday, arrived up yesterday, 142 days from Antwerp. -She is laden with 20,000 barrels of cement, and in addition brings 550 pieces of steel girders to be used in bridge structure in the Northwest. Captain Halvorsen, master of the ves sel, reports having enjoyed a, fair passage except for the encountering of a severe gale off Cape Horn: when the Asgard lost her lifeboats and several sails. This vessel was formerly the British Ship Kilmory, and was recently purchased by a Norwegian firm which changed her name as well as her flag.

STEAMBOAT LOSES HER STACK Collision . 'With Burnslde Bridge Draw Damages Columbia. The steamer Columbia, while returning from Vancouver yesterday afternoon, col lided with the draw of the Burnside bridge, and her smokestack was pushed over, causing tne bursting of two steam pipes. Captain Watt, who was in charge, docked the steamer and all the passengers went' ashore in safety. The steamer was enveloped in escaping steam, but no one was injured. The accident was caused by the pilot undertaking to pass through the bridge before the draw had swung fully. At present the high water makes It necessary to open the draw for prac tically every craft and the draws of the Steel and Burnside bridges are swinging constantly. One day last week the draw of the Steel bridge was opened 110 times for the passage of boats, many of which can pass under in an ordinary stage of water. ' Steamer Leona Being Repaired. The well-known upper Willamette River steamer Leona, which formerly operated between Portland and Oregon City, is at present occupying the ways at Supple's shipyard, where she is undergoing a thor ough overhauling for the purpose of plac ing her in first-class condition for a new route. The craft Is owned by W. A. Marshall and F. J. Brauer. and as yet they have not decided on which run they will place her. It is possible that she will be operated between Portland and the Tamhill River route. Alaska Fishermen Arrive Out. The advance guard of the Alaska fishing fleet has arrived out, according to advices received here yesterday. The Alaska Portland Packers' Association received word that the tug North King had reached Bristol Bay on May 12 and that the American ship Berlin arrived at the same place on May 18. The tug will act as tender to the canneries at that place, while the Berlin is scheduled to carry the season's pack of salmon to this city. Marine Notes. Joseph Supple is building a motor-boat at his shipyard on the East Side, and says that when completed she will make 25 miles an hour. The craft will be 50 feet long and will have engines of 100-horse power. The steam schooner Shoshone, under charter to the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company, arrived up Sunday and commenced loading wheat at Mont gomery dock yesterday for the return voyage. The North Pacific Steamship Company's liner Roanoke arrived at Astoria at 6 o'clock last night from San Pedro and way. She will be at Martin's dock early this morning. United States Inspectors Edwards and Fuller spent yesterday inspecting the steamship Eureka, of the Portland, Coos Bay & Eureka route. The vessel was found in excellent condition, only a few secondary repairs being recommended. The San Francisco & Portland Steam ship Company's liner Rose City arrived at the Ainsworth dock at 10 o'clock last night. Captain Kidston reported tine weather along the Coast, with but a slight blow encountered off Cape Blanco. Complaint has been made to the Govern ment Inspectors of several steam launches and pleasure craft plying on the river Sunday night, without complying with the regulations governing the burning of lights, and these cases are to be rigidly investigated.

The dog at ALL ARE MensD There's no drawing the line between curable and incurable diseases. Each individual case must be considered. Most doctors claim that among that class of diseases peculiar to men one or two are incurable. This idea is wrong. I have demonstrated that it is wrong, for I cure all diseases of men.

I by no means claim the ability to cure any and every case that may come to my office, but I claim to cure most of the cases that others cannot cure, and I always refuse treatment where conditions indicate that I will be unablo to obtain thorough and lasting results.
