THE MORXDTG OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1909. nnv nr njmnnrn lUnULH PT Diuni urii TOLD BY WITNESS Mrs. Eastman, Who Saw ex Senator Carmack Shot, Tells of Tragedy. WIDOW WEEPS AT TRIAL Famous Cooper Murder Case Gels Under Way After Month's Delay In Selecting Jury Many Witnesses Are Heard. NASHVILLE. Tenn.. Feb. 16. After a. hiontli had been spent In selecting a Jury, the trial of Duncan B. Coop?r, Robin Cooper and John 1. Sharpe. for the murder of ex-Senator K. W. Carmack. was begun today. II is. Carmack. widow of the ex-Senator, who had collapsed toon after reaching the courtroom, was the first witness called. She was assisted to the stand by court officers. She told her name and her husband's occupation In a trembling voice. "When did you last see your hus band alive"." "Oh. God." she sobbed, "on Sunday, the day before he was killed." For several moments she was unable to speak. "When did you hear from him last?" "By telephone on Monday, a little while before he was killed." What was the conversation?" The defense objected and was sus tained. The state next called K. B. Craig, former State Treasurer, who testified to his close relations with Senator Car mack. He said he spent all Saturday November 7. and Sunday. November 8, with Senator Carmack. He saw Colonel Cooper the evening of November 8 at the Tulane, by appointment. Angered at Paper. "After discussing the personal matter which led mo to meet Colonel Cooper, the latter began to discuss the editori als In the Tennesseean. Colonel Cooper was greatly agitated and very angry. He said, 'I am an old man, a private citizen and If my name again appears In the Tennesseean, I or Senator Carmack must die." Colonel Cooper's manner was violent and he denounced Senator Car mack viciously as an lngrate. His manner so nlarmed me that I told him I would confer with Senator Carmack." "What was said about the note?" "He said he had written Carmack a note that could not bo misunderstood." "Did you communicate to Carmack the threats of Colonel Cooper?" "I told Carmack what Cooper had said." The note referred to was- the one written by Colonel Cooper to Senator Carmack, threatening the latter with death if the editor referred to him again. Th-? state next introduced in evidence the Tennesseean of November 9. contain ing t!i? editorial article on Colonel Cooper, which led to the murder and which refers to Colonel Cooper as the "diplomat of the 6weir.und.' The paper was identified by Cra'd. The defense passed cross-examination and Mrs. Charles H. Eastman, who was speaking with Senator Carmack when iie was killed, was called. Mrs. Eastman told how she met Carmack and identified the exact spot. Story of Killing. "Senator Carmack came swinging tdong," said she. "His eyes lighted up with a pleasant look, and we both stopped. He raised his hat and was look ing into my eyes in a listening attitude. Suddenly from behind me came a voice, saying. 'Well, here you are. We have the drop on you.' " "Did you see anyone?" "No, sir. The voice came from behind and very near to me." "What did you do?" "Nothing. I saw Mr. Carmac'.: with hat still raised, look over my shoulder with a look of surprised inquiry. As he did so, he put his right hand back Into his pocket and drew slowly a pistol. It seemed to catch. I put my hands to my face. Then the voice be gan behind me again, and It said: 'You cowardly scoundrel, hiding behind a woman's skirts, are you? Get out, you dastard.' "When I saw the revolver I Jumped to one side and turned. The revolver in the Senator's hand was upside down. That Is. he held It by the barrel." The prosecutor sent for the revolver, and the wiiness gave a dramatic Illustra tion of the Senator's position. "I put up both hands," she said, "and Jumped back. I heard the shot and turned. 1 thought I recognized Dr. White as the man with the revolver and I streamed: 'My God, doctor, don't shoot, please don't.' I then recognized that it was Colonel Cooper. "Then 1 sprang against the fence and saw young Cooper and heard two other shots fired so rapidly that I thought they were simultaneous." "Young Cooper was standing near me, his arm extended as though in the act of firing a pistol. Senator Carmack was lyiivg in the gutter in a pool of blood and I turned and denounced Colonel Cooper." "What did you say?" "I said tnat he was a brutal murderer; that he had taken advantage of my pres ence to kill a man without giving him the chance of a dog; that I d lather be the dead man in the guticr fnan to be him." When the state concluded with Mrs. Eastman, the court adjourned. HARRIMAN AT GALVESTON lenies He Is Inspecting Railroads on Southern Journey. GALVESTON. Tex.. Feb. 16. K. H.

Acapulco Daiecl by Theater Horror, Due to Incompetence and Male Cowardice. MEXICO CITT. Feb.. 1.-Late dis patches from Acapulco. where the Flores Theater was burned while the structure was crowded at a performance given In honor of Governor Damian Flores of the tate of Guerrero, bring varying esti mates of the loss of life. Thry agree in declaring, however, that the dead will exceed m while some place the figure as high as 350. Most of the dead were burned beyond recognition. Acapulco is dazed by the catastrophe. All business at the port has ceased, the shops havo closed and the people are crowding the churches where masses are being celebrated for the dead. The fire, which spread with incredible rapidity through the immense wooden and adobe structure, was due. It Is charged, to the carelessness and inexperience of the operator of the moving picture ma chine. There was an explosion, a burst of flame, which ignited the bunting used for decoration, and In a few minutes the entira structure was in flames. The exits were all In the front part or the building, which was almost Immedi ately turned into a wall of fire and the people were entrapped. The women and children suffered most and comprise a majority of the dead. The search of the ruins has thus far revealed no recognizable human form. Charred bodies, from which legs and arms have been burned, have been taken from the ruins, and as there was no chance of identifying them, all have been buried in a common trench. The greatest loss of life- was caused, according to survivors, by the fall of the roof, which crashed down on the en trapped people. Previous to tills the men In the pit had fought like demons, strik ing down women and children in their effort3 to escape. The fall of the roof, however, stilled the screams of the fight ing audience. The firemen and tha crowds on the out side "could do nothing to help tho vic tims. After the first five or ten minutes no cries were -heard and there was no noise save that made by tho spurting and rackling flames. Latest reports show that no Americans were killed!

WASHINGTON. Dec. IS. Detailed in formation concerning the number of Japanese in this country, their occupa tions and relations to communities in which they live have been collected for the Federal Government during the last, year by the Immigration Commis sion, created by Congressional resolu tion in 1907. Field agents of the commission are still In Califirnia studying the for eign additions to the population. Thefr object is to obtain information in re gard to both the Immigrants who pass beneath the notice of the officers of the Government and also those who are re ported to have been smuggled across the border. A study has been made of the mode of -life of the Japanese In that state, the effect of the leasing system and all the relations of the races with a view of arriving at some conclusions regarding the future de velopment of the Oriental. DECLARES AVAR THREATENED California Legislator Says' He Saw Letters to Prove It. SAN FRAXCISCO, Feb. 16. That this country was on the verge of war with a naval power of the Orient recently was the assertion of State Senator Richard J. Welch, who is here with a legislative committee which is instigat ing the Islais Creek project. Welch said: "If yen had seen the correspondence that pasted between President Roose velt? Governor Gillett and Speaker Stanton that I have seen, you would know that there was only a short time ago the danger of a conflict between two great naval powers of the Pacific.; This statement was made in answer to the argument of an opponent of the Islais Creek project that supporters of the plan had attempted to gain support for it by maintaining that a Govern ment Navy-Yard would bo established atHunters Point. Welch Insisted that such a navy-yard would surely be built within the next ten years. MONTANA STILL AFTER JAPS Exclusion Memorial Expected to Pass Segregation Fight Ahead. HELENA, Feb. 16.

There are many members of labor unions in the House, and many other members whose constituents are largely union men and they will, they declare, sup port the measure. At the present time the bill is in the committee on labor, but a report will be mada this week. Speaker McDowell referred the bill which would exclude Mongolians from the public schools to the committee on military affairs and Norton declares he will have it re-referred to the com mittee on education'. That this bill will not pass seems certain. Straighten Accounting Tangles.

LIGHT Two Calhoun Jurors Proved to Be Prejudiced. . . THEIR LIVES SCRUTINIZED One Man AVlio Had Passed Muster Is Shown to Have Expressed Sym pathy With Calhoun and Writhes Under Probe. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18. Three of th3 12 jurors temporarily passed to try Patrick Calhoun upon a charge of bribery had been excused or dismissed when to day's session of court ended, and another citizen had unexpectedly qualified for a place In the Jury-box. With two places remaining to be filled, the completion of the jurv appears to bo retarded at least a week and the fact that peremptory challenges are still to be exercised indi cates that the trial will establish a record for deration over the preceding bribery graft trials. Jurors Under Searchlight. It was clearly shown today that tho conduct of every Juror heretofore ac cepted has been subject to keen surveil lance by agents of both prosecution and defense. In two instances members of the panel, who were subsequently ex cused, were obviously astonished to learn tho extent of the information relating to their private lives possessed by the pros ecution. One of the Jurors. Walter J. Rock, a young stationery salesman, drew tears when he appealed to Judge Lawlor for an order of discharge after a severe examination by Assistant District At torney Heney, saying the proceedings were an attempt to besmirch his honesty, and another. Walter -L. Baskette. insisled that it would embarrass him to return a verdict against the defendant because his employers. W. P. Fuller & Co., had sold goods to the United Railroads. Both men had occupied seats in the box for a fortnight or more. More May Be Attacked. . It was Intimated that there may be further attacks upon the integrity of one or more of the Jurors comprising the original complement of 12, and nearly a dosen witnesses, summoned for some purpose not yet revealed, were excused with the understanding that they would return at som9 future data to be later determined. It was apparent during yesterday's session of court the relations between the attorneys representing opposing sides of the case today appeared more hostile than usual and there were sev eral sharp exchanges between Heney and Stanley Moore of the defense. Of the 17 talesmen examined during the day Charles H. Suydam, a whole sale grocer, was the only one who qualified. Tomorrow's early session will be devoted to a preliminary exam ination of the 60 citizens comprising the twelfth special venire. Rock Friendly to Bribers. The testimony Mr. Rock had given as to his qualifications was directly con tradicted by H. C. Thaxter, member of the League of Justice, who testified that in several arguments about the bribery cases Rock had taken the po sition that the grafters were held up. Mr. Thaxter continued: "He said that the prosecution grew out of the personal grudge of Mr. Spreckels toward Calhoun and that the desire was to land Calhoun Irrespective of any one else. He closed one of the discussions with the assertion that the good citizens in general were tired of the prosecution and wanted it stopped, and that business would not get better until it was. Rock said he did not be lieve Immunity should be granted the Supervisors. I believe,' he said, 'that graft was necessary, and that business could not be done without graft to a certain extent.' I cannot exactly recall, but I think he said, 'that Calhoun was held up and forced to give a bribe.' " Begs to Be Excused. After searching cross-examination as to his relations with men affiliated with the United Railroads, Mr. Rock had made a personal appi-U to the Judge, saying: I want to get out of this. Judge. There's too much mud thrown here." "You must take your seat," ordered the court, and Rock returned to his place, court, and Mr. Rock re. trned to his place. With hi3 voice showing him to be on the -verge of tears, he addressed the attorneys, throwing up his hands In a gesture of despair ana sayine- 'Well I can't promise to give both sides a square deal now. I don't want to sit here while all this mud is being thrown." . It was prior to this that Mr. Rock, angered by persistent inquiries relat ing to his friendships, his political af filiation and his personal opinion of Mr. Heney and others, excitedly ex claimed: -I don't want to serve on this jury. 1 11 bet that niety-nine out of one hundred men who sit in this box have no opinions on the case, and most of them sit here and li9 about it." "I may have 'roasted' you," testified the juror in reply to a question by Mr. Heney. "If I did 11 wa3 before you were shot After you came back I thought you did a game thing, and I've told other people so." AKGUMEXT IX COFFEY'S CASE Jury In First Supervisor's Trial to Be Charged Today. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb.. 16. Arguments In the case of ex-Supervisor M. W. Cof fey, charged with having accepted a. bribe of $4000 for voting for the United Railroads Company trolley franchise, were completed today and the charge to the Jury will bo delivered by Judge Dunne tomorrow morning. With the trial of Coffey the first prose cution of any member of the Sclnnitz Board of Supervisors on charges arising out of the bribery graft 'investigation has been taken. Coffey, with the rest of the members, was granted immunity, but this was later withdrawn in his case, as the prosecution alleeed that he had not lived up to his contract in giving evi denceat other trial?. The defense contended that ex-Supervisor James H. Gallagher, on whose evi dence the prosecution placed its main reliance, was an accomplice In the crime end that his testimony was Inadmissible. Denies Smelter King Is Dying. NEW YORK. Feb. 16. Murray Guggen heim, on being asked last night concern ing the report that his brother, Daniel Guggenheim, was being rushed East from Mexico on a special train in order to save his life, said that there was no truth in the statement that Daniel Guggenheim was seriously ill. His brother had not been feeling well, ho said, but that so far as he knew there was no cause for alarm. "My brother left Mexico only a day or two sooner than was his. original inten tion," he added, "and he is traveling in a special car because ho Invariably travels that way." Montana Poolrooms Doomed.
