THE MORNING OREGONJAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 1908, 3 ETT Brown Says No Other Living Person Directed Him in Management. WITNESS LOSES TEMPER- Itefers to Kx-Busincss Associate s a "Dirty Dog" and "False Friend" Secrets of Bad Failure Revealed. SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. In , tha middle of a severe cross-examinaticai by Attorney Geary for the defense, J. Delzell Brown, principal witness for the pnose cution in the trial of Walter J. Bartnett, today heatedly referred to Bartnett as a "dirty dog. Testimony had just been wrung from Brown to the effect that it was on information furnished by Allan Griffith, brother-in-law of Bartnelt, and by Bartnett himself, that the indictments were brought against Brown whJch re silted in his plea of guilty to embezzle ment of securities held in trust by the California Safe Deposit & Trust Com pany, and his sentence of 18 months in the penitentiary. All the morning session was --taken up lth Brown s cross-examination by At torney Geary. He diVulged maqy secrets of the conduct of the bank in. its later days, when it was slowly but surely going to the wall. Brown refused to ndmlt that he told Receiver Lebreton that he him self sold the securities and that Bartnett did not know of their sale lentil he re turned here from New York. ' It was at this point that he said BarCnett was a "dirty dog." He said that he had given the false receipt to "help a tplse friend." Sold Bonds in Trust. From Brown the admission, was gained that the bank sold a number of Western Pacific bonds belonging to various per sons and placed in the bank for safe keeping. , During the re-direct examination of Brown at . the afternoon session an at tempt was made by the Tjrosecution to establish the fact that Bai-tnett had con trol of the bank up to the time of its failure, although he was In New York at the time and for months before. Letters and telegrams to prove this were, how ever, ruled out by the court. Brown testified that no living person except Bartnett directed, him in the af fairs of the bank, giving the Impression that the spirits of Jay Gould, Collis P. Huntington and Ellen M. Colton had something to do with bis direction. Handle Millions Lightly. Sums ranging into the hundreds of thousands and even Millions were lightly spoken of by attorneys and the witness while he was testifying as to the manipu lation of the books anul the loan accounts of the bank, just previous to the failure. John C. Lynch, onf! of the State Bank Commissioners, testified as to a meeting. In his official capacity, with Bartnett and Brown, when he was told by both of them that the Colton, securities were some of them burned in the big Are and the balance sent to N?w York and placed in a safe deposit ox. Previous testimony had brought out the fact that the securities had already been sold when this meeting took place. CHILDREN REHEARSE PLAY "The TojshopT' Promises to Be a Great Success. What a fuss and flutter was going on around the statue entrance of the Heilig Theuter yesterday afternoon! And no wonder for a stage rehearsal of the "Toy Shop." to be given Monday, Tues day and Wednesday, next week, was in progress. AnA many of the small actors were being introduced for the first time to stage mysteries. It was a splendid re . iiearsal, taking the most of the two acts, and all the little people were found to be well up in lines and action. "The Toy iShop" will be a great social svent, as wefll as an artistic performance, for many of Portland's most prominent society women are interested from one standpoint or another. .Some are patron esses, some are chaperone3 of different groups an4 some are mothers of children in the cast;, so a crowded house is assured for the flnst night. Something new, written by Mrs. Gaynor aspeclally for the Portland performance, will be introduced for the first time at this production. Last- year, after the very sucuessful production of "The House That Jaffk Built," given for the benefit of the Institute Club settlement work, when the women were talking of a return engagement, some one suggested that no toy shop would be complete without a supply of Teddy Bears. Miss Martin wrote to Mrs. -Gayner of the request and she and Mrs. Rtiley gladly responded and wrote the song which will be given for the first time Monday night. The Bears will be impersonated by Hoyt Colgate and Her bert Hill. Miss Winnie Lewis. Malcolm Mac Ewan and the chorus will do the song. There will be four performances of the "Toy Shop," Monday and Tuesday evenings and Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, June 22, 23 and 24. Seats will be on sale Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

A., will represent that body at the confer ence and deliver several addresses, and Miss Emma Hayes, one of the city secre taries for the board, will have general oversight. LABOR UNIONS INTERESTED HOPE FOB ADOPTION OF IN JUNCTION PLANK. Will Not Support Secretary Taft Vn- less Plucatcd With Favorable Action, Declares Mr. Harris. Organized labor in this city is following with interest the progress of the anti- injunction plank that has been proposed for the platform to be adopted, prob ably today, by the Republican National convention in Chicago. It was this plank that called for considerable discussion and vigorous opposition by members of the sub-committee on platform at Its meeting Tuesday. The fate of the meas ure and particularly the form in which it will be submitted by the committee to the convention is what trades-unionists are watching closely. "The members of organized labor al ways have considered that President Roosevelt has been sincerely in earnest in his advocacy of legislation curbing the use of the Injunction, said R. A. Harris, editor of the Labor Press, yes terday. "If he had not been undoubt edly he would not have invited Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and other leaders of the American Federation of Labor personally to attend the Chicago conven tion and appear before the committee in advocacy of their anti-injunction plank. But as a rule trades-unionists are doubt ful that the President with his 'big stick' will be able to force the measure into the platform as it has been recommended by the representatives of labor and which conforms to his own ideas on the sub ject. , "Organized labor throughout the coun try is not. friendly to the candidacy of Secretary Taft for the Presidency. The laboring classes charge it against Taft that he 'was the first member of the Judiciary to abuse the power of injunc tion. Labor most certainly will demand the adoption of a strong anti-injunction plank in the Republican National plat form if trades-unionists are to be paci fied and reconciled to Taft's candidacy in any measure." CURIOSITY IS HIS THEME Pastor Says It Works Both for Good and Evil. A large crowd was present at the White Temple last night to hear Dr. Brougher's sermon on the subject, "Man's Curiosity Is It Greater Than Woman's?" A raised nlatform was erected ti 'accommodate the large chorus ciioir. - Malcolm C. Martin is proving himself to be an efficient and popular choir leader and under his direction the great chorus is doing splendid work. Tomorrow night Dr. W. B. Riiey, pastor of the First Bap tist Church of Minneapolis, Minn., will speak. "I looked over this crowd," said Dr. Brougher, "to see . which Is the more curious, men or women. I think it is about even, for there are fully as many men here tonight as women. Evidently they are Just as curious as the women." Dr. Brougher took as the basis of his remarks the story of Zaccheus, the mar. of short stature, who, when he saw Jesus coming, climbed into a tree in order that he might get a better view of the stranger passing that way. Zaccheus had curiosity of a good kind, and it led him Into a life of Christianity, said the speaker, but there is a kind of curiosity which leads men away from the paths of righteous ness. Dr. Brougher then showed that curi osity would lead people to become Christians. He said that he believed in the use of curiosity for leading men to Jesus Christ. He told of a number of instances where noted characters had become Christians through first having their curiosity excited to hear and see the preacher.

PLAN FIGHT TO A FINISH Independent Packers Propose to Es tablish Plants in All Parts or the United States May Itevolu - tionize the Meat Industry. NEW YORK, June 17. (Special.) the packing trade is not at ail sur prised that the aggressiveness of the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Company, manifested most recently in its de cision to establish a large plant at Portland, Or., has aroused - the ire of the so-called "beef trust." Six months or more ago the Schwarzschild & Sulz berger Company began negotiations for the acquisition of a plant within the city limits of Portland, known as the Zimmerman abattoir. As soon as the Portland representatives of the "trust," whose plants are "located out side of the city limits, got an inkling of what the Schwarzschild & Sulzber ger people were trying to do, vigorous opposition was stirred up and suffi cient influence was brought to bear upon the City Council of Portland to cause that body to enact an ordinance forbidding slaughter-houses within the city limits. The management of the Schwarzschijd & Sulzberger Company is confident that ul timately the interests of that company will be fully protected by the citizens ana couns. ootn ot Portland and the en tire State of Oregon. Whether this proves to be the fact or not, half a dozen or more other important Western states have already promised substantial aid if the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Company will put up plants within their limits. Promt nent among such states are Colorado, In diana, Oklahoma, Wisconsin and Dakota. Unbiased interests in the trade are con fident that the aggressiveness of this in dependent concern will to a very large ex tent revolutionize the meat industry. The nrm win establish plants throughout the United States hitherto not covered and make war on the "beef trust." MUST PAY S1000 LICENSE DRINKS IN HCTQUIAM UNDER WORLD BECOMING FEWER.

LEMOINE IS A FUGITIVE ,Self-Styled Diamond Maker Con fesses Himself a Faker. PARIS. June 17. The Lemoine dia mond case created a tremendous sensa tion in connection with an unexpected cli max here today. Lemoine has fled and his famous formula for the manufacture of diamonds is a fantastic farce. Henry Lemoine was taken into custody a few months ago on the charge of having secured money from Julius Wernher, tha English diamond merchanjt, on false pre tenses. Lemoine declared he could manu facture diamonds, and it is alleged that on this representation he secured a large sum of money from Mr. Wernher. Le moine was released to give him an oppor tunity to vindicate nimseir by exhibiting stones of his own manufacture. When the case was called in court today Le moine did not appear, and it was an nounced that he had fled.. In the presence of Mr. Wernher the court then opened the envelope said to contain Lemoine's formula. The naDer inside was read, but it contained only a number of fantastic and senseless phrases.

RESCUED AND WILL LIVE Would-be Suicide, 60 Years Old, Re covers Sufficiently at tlie Hos pital to Give Her Name as Mrs. Davis. "While the Morrison-street bridge was bustling with people last night at 7 o'clock, an old woman, giving the name of Mrs'. Davis. lumped into the Willam ette but was rescued and taken to the St. Vincent's Hospital. The woman, who was podrly dressed, whose hair was streaked with gray, paused abreast of the gate keeper's station on the east side of the draw, clambered over the guard rail to the north walk and, with a whispered prayer trembling on her lips, plunged headlong into .the river below. As a silent witness of the sorrow and want which had weighed her down, she left behind her a little faded black purse, whose only contents were a nickel and a frayed handkerchief. Pedestrians were so shocked that tor a moment no alarm was given. Then their screams warned the gatekeeper, who pushed) the warning signal to the en gineer in the house overhead. The en gineer's shouts were heard by Frank Merrill, of Merrill's boathouse, and by J. M. Conley and E. B. Hayden, who were also standing on the boathouse float. Together the three men put out Bwiftly to the rescue. They reached the woman while she was still floating. Her clothes had prevented her from sinking out of sight but her head had been under water for several minutes. She was still alive when they lifted her into the boat and rowed back to the float. After she had been made comfortable, a woman in the crowd came down from the bridge and helped revive her while they waited for a doctor and ambulance. The would-be suicide soon partially re gained her consciousness and talked like a child and then like one aged with sorrow, often In her delirium pleading with some Imaginary person who was evidently treating her badly. By the time the Red Cross amouiance naa arrived, she could talk coherently. -When asked her name by the officer sent to the scene. she replied: Jty cup or sorrow is over flowing. Don't ask me," and with that she relapsed again into unconsciousness. In the meantime a large crowd had as sembled and it required Ave officers to clear the way to the ambulance in which she was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. Two- hours later she again revived.
