WILL IS FORGERY SO EXPERT SAYS Demonstrates That Signatures of Young Were Secured by Tracings. EACH ONE IS DUPLICATE Handwriting Kxpert From Portland Springs Sensation In Trial at Pen dleton Mrs. Warner Not In the Least Disturbed. PENDLSTOX. Or., June 17. (Spe cial.) Professor "W. TV. Williams, a handwriting expert of Portland, sprang a big sensation In the famous Warner-Young- will contest here today, by declaring- the alleged will, the contract and the sensational letter, introduced by Mrs. Mabel "Warner, were all forg eries, beyond the shadow of a doubt Williams, when placed on the stand, proceeded to demonstrate how the forg erles had been made and why there could be no doubt that the signatures to the will and other documents could not be genuine. After declaring? that It was Impossible for any person to write any name two times exact ly alike, he produced five trac ings of Young's alleged slgna-. tures taken from the will, from the contract and the letter, and showed that all five of them could be super Imposed one upon the other, and that every line would fall upon the similar line underneath, there rot being more than the width of a pencil mark differ ence In any of them. He therefore In sisted that each of the signatures had been forged by being all traced from the same model. The demonstration was all the more striking by reason of the fact that the signature to the letter was supposed to have been writ ten 12 years after the one on the will. Traces Made Over Light. Taking a box with a glass top and containing an electric light he pro ceeded to make tracings before the court Just as he declared they must have been done on the documents in question. Williams says this case offers one of the boldest and most extensive pieces of forgery ever brought to light in the United States. He insists that not only has the entire will with its signature been forged, but that a page contract, a two-page letter and other documents have been forged to make the will ap pear genuine. While the witness de clared all the signatures had been forged .by means of tracings, he held that only small parts of the will and the contracts had been forged in this manner, the remainder of these docu ments and the whole of the letter had been written off-hand with samples of Young's writing before the forger as a model. Writings Are Dissimilar. He then proceeded to analyze the writ ing of J. W. Young and that of the dis puted documents .making It appear Im possible for one person to have written them all. while it was apparent that the same person had written all of the disputed- documents. It was shown that whereas Young always wrote in angles, there were many instances in the disput ed writlnKa where (rraceful curves ap peared. Especially was this true in the connections between letters. Individual letters were shown to be uniformly sim ilar In all of Young's writings and dis similar In many respects to the same let ter! found In the disputed documents. Another telling point brought out was the fact that In all of Young's writings there Is not to be found a single period, while two periods appear In the alleged will. Practically an entire day was con- 1 snimed by Williams on direct examination when he waa turned over for cross-examination. Bo far the attorney for Mrs. "Warner has been unable to muddle him , In the slightest. When he has finished. Professor M. A. Albln. of Portland, will be placed upon the stand to confirm the testimony of Williams. Woman Not Disturbed. Mrs. Warner makes light of the tesU- cnony offered by the expert and declares her experts will make Williams look sick. She has more than 80 witnesses to intro . duce In rebuttal. Indicating that the pres ent trial is to be of Indefinite length. FREIGHT SERVICE BEGINS Tirst Train Over Milwaukee Is En Koute From Chicago. SEATTLE, Wash.. June 17. Beginning ' Sunday, the Chicago.

My mother, since her early child hood, was an Inveterate coffee drinker bad been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that weak all over- feeling and sick stomach. ''Sme lme ago I was making an official visit to a distant part Srf the country and took dinnsr with one of the merchants of -the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the cof fee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with It that after the meal was over I bought a package to carry home with me and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family was so well pleased with it that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had reaily been at times ery anxious concerning my mother's condi tion, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time she felt so much betcer than she did prior to its use. and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent and her general condition much improved.

Three distinct attractions make Eilers Piano House the objective point for all music lovers now. FIRST OFF, THE MERRY" WIDOW. Scores of buyers keep the Talking Machine Department on the jump these days. Die Lustige W'ltwe" selections the greatest operatic success of Eu rope and America are much in de mand, and since Eilers Piano House is the only place where' all makes of talking machine records are to be ob tained for all the Various talking ma chines Red Seal Records and regular disc records, and Edison Amberol Records, and the new Victor and Co lumbia Double-faced Records, etc., etc.. It stands to reason that discriminating buyers will give their preference to the establishment affording opportu nity for carefully comparing one make with another. Merry Widow music rolls for the pianola and other piano players equipped with standard mouthpiece. ar?, tS? special attractions in the music roll library, second floor. -. THESE AROUSE IXTEXSE INTEREST Never heretofore, not even in New ?' has n been possible to show such a tremendous number of latest Pianola Pianos of each of the various styles and In the various superb and costly woods and finishes used only by the world-renowned makers of this magnificent art product. Six. solid carloads of Genuine Pianola Pianos, all of them the latest styles, were shipped to Etlers Piano House through an awkward misunderstanding on the part of our buyer and the manu facturers. Rather than to return the bigger por tion oi these instruments to the fac tories at additional cost for freight : , . ........ cu;., we nave ae- cided to accept them. All of these In struments are now being displayed at fillers Piano House. Never again will Portland witness a showing of so extensive and superb a variety of styles and designs. MAKE YOURS A MUSICAL HOME There's many a "silent" piano In many a home where there ought to be a Pianola Piano, a genuine Pianola Piano, an Instrument that Is not me chanical. ' but, on the contrary, makes it possible for- every member of the family to produce the choicest of music with perfect individuality and expres sion. .. Ve are now prepared to take such silent pianos" In part payment for one of these very latest Metrostyle and Themodist Pianola Pianos, and we will make it an object for any owner of such old style piano to do- business with us now. Will arrange most unusual liberal terms of payment for any responsible buyer not wishing on the spur of the moment to pay the difference in cash. If you ever expect to own a Pianola Piano, now is the time to see about it, second floor. AND 1'IX AI.I.V THE P. E. A It. R. Never heretofore has opportunity been presented to buy highest grade standard makes of upright pianos so very much under price. Most of these pianos came to us, not because used so much, but because used so little. In part payment for the wonderful Pianola Plano.- Others have been left on sale by people who wanted to dispose of them. Still others are factory samples and Hgain there are some exhibition pianos, prize-winners every one, that must be closed out. The Piano. Exchange and B-irgaln Room will be discontinued Indefinitely. We need the room for other pur poses; hence, our prices, regularly and always away below whatever may be offered elsewhere, are so low now that to see one of these instruments in variably means for any one to imme- aiaieiy to arrange to own It. TWENTY CENTS DAILY DOES IT. When we offer a $475 mottled walnut Hallet & Davis for 238, and the fanciest mahogany for $17 more money, when for $92 a Fischer upright, good tone, is offered that would anywhere else bring $200, when a $500 Steinway in good order goes for " $255, and a beautiful very latest $550 slightly-used Kimball is but $296. we should get all cash for these pianos. But no one is ever ready on the spur of the moment to pay all cash for a piano. We, therefore, arrange payments by the month or almost any way a pur chaser prefers. $6 a month or its equivalent paid every three months will secure a piano at these cash sale prices for the mere additional simple interest. CAN'T NAME 'EM ALL. We cannot enumerate all of the beautiful pianos that still remain un sold in the Bargain Room. Undoubt edly every standard make, every high class American make is represented here. There are Baby Grand Chlckerings, and Krantch & Bach, and Steck; there are Kimballs and Chlckerings and Webers, and Deckers, and Steinways good, serviceable upright pianos, rang ing in price from $34 upwards. THESE FOR SCHOOLS, CHURCHES. ETC. There are some organs included in this sacrifice, too. Some splendid instruments for the home; also for schools and for churches. We'll let them go for a song. We want them out of the way. . SQUARE PIANOS, 3S, ETC. There are a number of square pianos, $38 buys a sweet-toned one payments $1.50 a month buys it other square pianos are $45, $64 and $78 same little payments to dispose of them quickly. Remember, we say everything shall be found here exactly as advertised. Don't put off Investigating until too late. Come at once or write or telephone.
