' DRAMATIC tSCENE ENACTED s Prominent Lawyers Are Called "Grafter?," but Prompt Retrac tion Is Made Trial Will Be Resumed Monday. Captain William Gadsby. one of the defendants In the suit of Mrs. Beatrice Gadsby for $200,000 damages for the al leged alienation of her husband s affec tions, furnished the sensational feat ures in the trial of this case before Cir cuit Judge Morrow yesterday. In refer ring to the alleped misconduct toward his adopted daughter by tieorge xt. nm. father of the plaintiff. Captain Gadsby. bursting into ean and with clenched fist Indicating Hill m the courtroom dramatically denounced the latter as a "cur." "When I was told by W. W. Banks that this man Hill had mistreated my daug-hter." said Captain , Gadsby. "ac companied by my son. Ben. I went di ' rctly to the office of Senator Simon and told him that all conversations we had held lookine to a reconciliation between Walter and his wife -were off.' I told him that I would no longer rebuke and reprimand the boy for his conduct, that the time had arrived when I should stand UD for mv son. I requested that he see Hill personally and And out if the report was true. Ths next day senator Simon informed me that the Incident was not as serious as it had been represented to me and that I should not allow myself to get excited. He did admit that Hill had con fessed ttiat he had acted indiscreetly. Would Twist Off Head. This cur. Hill, had mistreated my daughter. Can you blame me for the way I felt? I told Simon that if Mill wm a friend of his, he had better get Hill out of the city Immediately or I would twist his head off his shoulders the first time I met him. And I did not see Hill again, either, until I saw him In the courtroom when this case was called." In thw excitement Incident to the "vig orous cross-examination, conducted by Senator Fulton. Captain Gadsby Inti mated that In one ofMhe interviews he ' held with Senator Simon and J. V. Beach, the latter being one of the counsel for the plaintiff In the damage suit, who had called on him, the two attorneys had represented to him that they were friends of the two families and desired to effect a settlement through a money settlement, in detailing these Interviews, Captain tjadsby impulsively charged the two law yers with being "grafted," a charge he immediately retracted when further ques tioned by Senator Fulton. , Thin charge against Mr. Simon and Mr. Beach by Captain Gadsby came In answer to questions from Senator Fulton, In which the witness said that he knew ' his son was grieved because of the sep aration and also knew that Beatrice was desirous of having Walter return to her. Captain Gadsby follossjd this by saying that the two attorney called on him at his place of business, while efforts were in progress to bring the couple together, nd suggested that he write a letter to Walter- and propose that the son write back and say that he did not wish longer to live with his wife. Witness testified the lawyers said such a letter would pro vide ground on which a suit for divorce and a money settlement could be had. On demand that the witness tell which .of the two lawyers made any' such sug gestion. Captain Gadnby qualified his statements, amounting to a complete re traction. The witness finally testified that what ths lawyers did suggest was that he write to Walter and let him say whether or not he desired to return, be come reconciled and again live with his wife. Physician Advised . Trip. On direct examination Captain Gadsby testified that It was not until the family phsieian had recommended that Walter go away from the city and see some place where he could find amusement and for get his business affairs, to which he was no( able to give his attention because of his nervous condition, that ths family decided to send him away. He declared that both himself and wife regarded Beatrice with almost the same affection that they did their son. The trouble between Walter and his wife, averred the witness, was due almost entirely to the incessant gossip of med dlesome women. Captain Gadsby fur ther said that it always was his desire to bring te young couple together and that he Intended to do all In his power to effect a reconciliation between them Just as scon as Walter had sufficiently regained his health and could return to Portl.-yd. In Including Ills' direct testimony. Captain Gadsby said that ever since the separation of the young couple Walter every month had aent JS2.60 to the wife, that being one-half of his monthly salaVy of 11. On taking up the cross-examination Senator Fulton immediately brought out the fact that young Gadsby. in addi tion to his salary, had a further Interest In the business, consisting of 35 of the fcv shares of stock, which were worth TOO each at par. The purpose of this evidence wss to show that the son had not done all that it wasrcssible for him to do for the wife, but this evidence was stricken out and withdrawn from the Jury on objections of counsel for the de fendants. Other Son Is Called. -The only other witness called by ths defense yesterday was William Benja min Gadsby. son of Captain Gadsby. who corroborated the testimony of his father as to the facts relating to the mistreat ment of Ills sister by Hill. He also testi fied that the treatment of Beatrice by his parents, ths defendants lnthe damage suit, always was kindly. The witness also told of having taken it upon himself, shortiy after Walter and wife had sep arated, to bring the young couple to gether. To that end he said he called up Beatrice by telephone, after consulting with hia parents, who urged such action, and made an appointment with her for the following Say. when Beatrice agreed to come to the home of the witness and talk the matter over. On the morning of the, next day. how ever, witness said he received a note from Beatrice, in which she canceled the appointment, for the reason that she did not feel able to stand the torture the proposed interview would Involve. Sub sequent efforts on his part, testified the witne. to effect a reconciliation were unavailing. The letter written by Beat rice and declining this Interview was In troduced by the defense and waa as fol lows: - I.trr From Beatriee. My teret Brother It indeed cheered me a little to get some encouragement from you yesterday. Ton wero too kind 'and tfear. My srler. Bn. ts moat hert-braking ud too pitiful to stand much more. If I can only bear up and hald out until my husband returns with, an apology from his own lips, but my condition, dear Ben. Is becoming too muk to realize it could be possible- I have tried my best to let him know he Is forgiven through letters and If he cannot receive them, to know it. I am helpless end can do nothing more but to wait for him to return. Maybe ha will some day and I hope It can be so. I think every time I break down It's the last. I am sorry. Ben, very sorry, that it Is Impossible to meet you there at your home. It makes me shudder to even think of It. but.' the torture would be too much for me to bear. I could not stand to go back to the scene and from where I was driven by my husband. It's asking too much, for I never could bear it. for I have told you. my dear Ben. my husband commanded me away and I am here to receive him at any time he wilt come, with forgiveness from his wife. I love him with deepest devotion and I can torsive him. too, for he is still my hus band. Ben. Let, me sincerely thank you. my dear Ben. for trying to cheer me in some way. for I do. from my heart, appreciate it. Everybody has been dear and kind to me and sympathised., but I. who love my husband, can forgive and f am helpless to do anything more. I thank ,you. dear Ben. from rhe bottom of my' heart, for I kr.ow you would do your best. I am. ever in grief, lovingly. . BEE. Move by Defence Blocked. Counsel for defense yesterday ineffect ually made an effort to secure the dis charge of Captain Gadsby as a co-defendant In the suit, on the ground that he was not properly a party to the puit and -had no knowledge of the trouble between the women members of the two families. . This move was resisted suc cessfully by Senator Fulton. When court adjourned, yesterday afternoon Judge Morrow announced that the 'trial of the case would not be resumed until J:30 o'clock Monday morning. Several wit nesses remain to be examined for the defense, while the plaintiff will offer some rebuttal. It is not likely that .Jhe case will be concluded and submitted be fore the jury until Tuesday and possibly not before Wednesday. Accepting somewhat peremptory orders each from the other. Circuit Judge Mor row and John F. Logan, of counsel for the defense, both returned to their "ap pointed places in the courtroom and were seated. During the trial yesterday af ternoon Judge Morrow left the bench for a few minutes and occupied a chair on the main floor of the courtroom near the witness stand. Logan also had left his ehair at the table used by counsel for the defense and. Ftanding near Senator Fulton, was following closely the line of the cross-examination of Captain Gadsby. "Mr. Logan, you will please return and be seated in the chair where you belong." ordered tTudge Morrow. "Well, you return to your seat on the bench, then." came back the attorney. There was no further argument and the brief dialogue ended by Judse and barris ter resuming their appointed stations. WIFE SAYS SHE IS SJUtE MRS. EVA J. SIMMONS WANTS XO GUARDIANSHIP OF SON. Husband, Contractor of St. John, Is in Private Asylum From Worry Over Family Troubles. " v Mrs. Eva J. Simmons, wife of Sain Stm mens, a wealthy ranchsr, contractor arid liveryman living at St. John, la trying to prove her sanity to County Judge Web ster, and to have the guardianship of her son, H. S. Simmons, dissolved. The son is contesting her allegations. The case opened yesterday morning, and was not finished when adjournment came last night. Sam Simmons, an aged Oregon pioneer. Is. In the meantime, confined at the Mountain View Sanitarium.- hav ing lost his reason last week, it is said, through worry over his wife's condi tion. He Is said to be worth about tl 50.000. Mrs. Simmons Is said to have become mentally unbalanced 20 years ago. Her husband did not send her to the asy lum, but managed to keep her on the ranch near St. John. In 1S8. after she Wad made a "threat to kill him, ha deeded her the home place, to paelfy her. It is said. In 1905. the O. R. & N. Company de sired to secure a right-sf-way across the Simmons property, but could not get MrS. Simmons to sign the deed, although the husband was willing. Proceedings wore therefore started in the Circuit Court to have her declared Insane, and her aon. H. S. Simmons, was at that time appointed her guardian, and the right-of-way granted, in lyub Simmons decided he would rather have the ranch divided, half for himself, and half for his wife, so ho brought a friendly suit in the Circuit Court, and the 61 acres were cut Into two farms. Soon after this he moved to St. John and went Into the livery and contracting business, taking three of his five eons with him. The two younger he left with his mother with instructions to keep her as quiet aa possible, in accordance with! the physician s orders. But JNorman airq, mom. one of the younger boys, is said to have started a farm on a larger scale than his father thought wise considering Mrs. Simmons' health. This son Is al leged by H. H. Riddell and Jay Upton, the attorneys foa Sam Simmons and Hex belt S. Simmons, the guardian, to have Induced the mother to file petition for the removal of the guardian, by. causing her to believe that Herbert is seeking with his father to defraud her of her property. 1 The mother has filed objections to me sale by her husband of a block adjoining Kenton, the new Swift townsite on tho peninsula, for $12,000. She has a dower interest in this property. As the father bought It for $2000, he considers his profit should he sell at $12,000. sufficient. George, Bert and Hubert, the eldest tnree sons, are supporting their father, while Ray, 17 years old. Is neutral. Another feature of the case Is that a young man named Green and his wife. friends of Norman, were arrested two weeks ago at the Instigation of Sam Sim mons for trespass on the ranch. The case was dismissed, however, with the understanding that they were to remain away from the place. A rumor ts also afloat that a well-known St. John lodge, at a meeting last Monday night. taiKed of ducking the Greens and Norman Sim mons in the river, because the young man allowed them to remain at the ranch Imposing on hia sick mother: but noth ing came of it. Drs. A liliamson. House and Johnson examined Mrs. Simmons last week and found her unbalanced mentally, and incompetent. They testified yester day as to their findings. Municipal Court Cases Dropped. .

TRAINS TO BE VESTIBULED Will fee Run or Three Cars Each With Last Equipped With Obser vation and Buffet Compart ments Other Features. Improvements in service and equipment which will include the establishment of solid vestihuled trains, observation cars and the innovation of free lunches therein have been authorized by the Oregon Elec tric Railway Company on the run from Portland to Salem. The sum appropriated for" these and other imDrovements asrzre- I gate $150,000. In establshing a free buffet service the Oregon Electric will put in effect a novelty in interurban ' transportation never before attempted, it is said, by any electric railway in the United States. Specifications have been adopted for three observation cars and they will be the finest that can be purchased, cost ing $15,000 each. They will be operated on four trains each way daily' between Portland and Salem and if they prove as popular as is now anticipated, sirrtHar cars will be put in service later on the Forest Grove line. Service Innovation in West. Xothing just like the observation cars to be added to the Oregon Electric equip ment are in use in the West- On the Seattle-Tacoma line each train carries an observation car but only one-half of the rear car is devoted to chair and ob servation features. The rest of the car Is the same -as the ordinary coch. pn the Oregon Electric the full length of the car will be devoted to chair-car and observation purposes. The specifi cations call for a car 62 feet longr at the rear end of which will be an observa tion platform nine and one-half feet deep covered by a dome and well pro tected. Wicker chairs will be carried on the platform, which wDl be enclosed by a brass railing. A plale glass partition will divide the observation platform from the body of the car. In the main part of the car chairs will be installed and wide windows provided. In the front end will be the buffet, lavatories and a smoking compartment. Each -car will seat about 42 passengers. A porter will te in" charge and at meal hours a light luncheon consisting of tea. or coffee and toast or rolls will be served free of charge to patrons of the car. There will be an additional charge for seats in the observation cars as is customary on all roads, but the amount of the fee has not yet been decided upon. Trains to Be Solid Vestibule. The trains carrying observation coaches wilt have three cars "each and these will be the fast trains, or those carrying the greater portion of the through traffic. This service will begin earl in the Spring. In addition work is to commence at once on overhauling and reflnishing all the coaches now in use. Vestibules, with diaphragms, such as are in use on steam railroads, will be added to all cars thus making all trains solid vestibdled. and passengers may pass from one car to another in safety. The announcement of these and other Improvements was made yesterday by Guy W. Talhot. general manager of the road. The Woodburn extension Is to be put in operation about December 10, when the two and one-half miles built from West Woodburn to Woodburn will be com pleted. Two more, trains will be added when the Woodburn extension is opened, one of which will leave Woodburn about 6:10 A. M. and arrive in Portland about 7:30. The other wn. leave Portland about 9 P. M. and reach Woodburn about 10:30. Other Improvements Planned. The company is now installing a K. W. rotary in the Multnomah sub-station, which will give 1000 horsepower at that station. The company has ordered $10, 000 worth of copper for the existing lines, which, when strung, will give better dis tribution and permit of better time and a closer adherence to schedules. The sum of $40,000 has also been appropriated for new passing tracks industrial tracks, team tracks, freight and passenger sta tions, section houses and ballasting. Then the purchase of the IS new flat cars has been authorized and specifica tions have been prepared for one electric locomotive and three new combination baggage and smoking cars. The company now has two electric and two steam loco motives. The combination cars are to be used on the fast trains, which will carry the new observation cars. In fact the road Is to be thoroughly "sandpapered," as Mr. Talbot expresses It. North Bank Line Tables Revised. A slight revision -of the time-tables on the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad will go into effect next Sun day. When the new solid through service to the East was inaugur ated the morning train for the East departed at 9:25. This departing time will be changed Sunday to 9 A. M. The evening train Instead of de parting at 7:30 wUl teave Portland at 7 P. M. Twelve hours will be the run ning time between Portland and Spo kane for both day and night trains. The only other change is in the ar rival of No. 1 from the East, which will get into Portland at 8:15 P. M. Instead of 8 P. M. as heretofore. BIG COLLEGEJS PLANNED (Continued from First Page.) , endowment. It Is $500,000 more than the endowment of Williams College and $150, 000 more than the endowment of Amherst. It wilt provide In Portland a college of arts and sciences of the grade of those two Institutions and other standard col leges of the country. In short it will give to the "young men arid women of Portland educational advantages the equal of any offered in the United States." Start With One Building. "The Reed Institute will probably have to start with one building. This was done at the Chicago University. There should be a general plan of campus and buildings adopted and the one building most needed should be selected and com pleted. The General Board of Education recognizes that the first need of an estab lished college is an adequate faculty and the right president. The Reed In stitute has an endowment sufficient to enable it to provide these and it is up to the City of Portland to co-operate in furnishing the plant. In my opinion, the site should be given to the col lege." ' When Dr. Buttrick was here in Sep tember he visited the following colleges ln Oregon: University Of uregon. ricuic University. Willamette University. Mc Minnville College and Albany College. In Washington he visited the University of Washington. Whitman, Whitworth, University of Puget Sound. Spokane Col lege and Gonzaga College. When he conferred with the Reed In stitute trustees in Portland Thursday and yesterday he submitted the results of his researches in a large mass of sta tistical Information and outlines of work accomplished at the institutions men tioned, which information had previously been submitted to the General Board of Education. The following is a portion at the ar gument submitted by Dr. Buttrick as to why the Reed Instiftite should be a col lege of arts and sciences: Buttrick Gives His Reasons. The City of Portland is already well sup plied with institutions of technical and pop ular Instruction. " The city has established a thorough sys. tern of manual training . In connection with the public schools. .The city contains a thoroughly-equipped and comprehensive school of trades of sec ondary grade, including courses in carpen try, eablnet-maklnif, machine shop werk.. pattern-making, brick-laying and plaster- W. T. Shanahan. Correapondlnff Secretary of - Oregon Humane Society, 'Who Died yesterday. Ing, electrical construction. plumbing and gas fitting;, architectural and mechanical cJ rawing. The Tounc Men's Christian Association has completed a new building in which, by night, instruction will be given in carpentry, general wood working, plumbing, the use of cement and concrete construction, staying, electrical construction, machine nhop work, telegraphy, bookkeeping, stenography, arch itectural drawing and merhanical drawing. In this building are rooms and shops with elaborate equipment for atl these purposes. The Young Women's Christian Association occupies a fine building adjoining that of the T. M. C. A. with equipment and has classes for young women in domestic arts, thus supplementing the work of the Y. M. O. A. The City of Portland has a fijie arts building with complete pets of plaster casts, a considerable collection of paintings In water and oil. and an expensive collection of photograph of leading works of art. Public TJbrary Is Factor. Portland has a library, long since estab lished, so organized as to promote the free nre of books, witlf departments for chil dren for.special students and for the gen eral public. , -In the City Hall and Public Library are collections of great value, covering the whole history of Oregon and from which a general museum will soon be established. From the above it is clear that there is no further demand in the City of Portland for vocational schools. It should be said that Portland, a city of 20lM)0 people, sends les than 2iX young men and women to college, while Seattle, a city of the same size, has I young men and women in the four college classes of the State University, to say noth ing of those who attend other colleges. In addition to this there was presented to 'the Reed Institute trustees the views of F. T. Gates, of New York, chairman of the General Board of Education, re garding location and campus, in which Mr. Gates suggests that it would be worth the while of the owners of some large, suitably-located tract to give outright a site of 40 or 50 acres to the Reed Institute for a gollege site. The present acting board of trustees of the ReedSinstitute is composed of Dr. T. T,. Eiiot, C. A. Dolph, M)artin Winch, William P. Olds and Judge Wolverton. The bequest for the Reed Institute was made by Mrs, Amanda W. Reei, a pio neer Portland woman, who died in Win ter residence In California in May, 1904. Death Lurks In Handle of Innocent Mop, Korsfl Unwittingly Flirt With Heavy Electric Voltasje and Are Shocked When Dettire for Cleanli ness Leads Them to Grasp Handle. POR the last month at all hours of the day and night, nurses on the third floor of the Good Samaritan Hos pital have been fltrtins; with death in the Arm of an electric supply cable carrying a heavy voltage of electricity. In a small room adjoining one of the large wards the cable enters the floor, boxed in the usual manner. Two 10 enny nails had been driven into this boxing, by some careless - janitor. It Is presumed, although they were not no ticed as being in any extraordinary posi tion until Thursday night. It is now conjectured that the nails must have been driven into separate .cables or that one only reached a cable. The nurses have been accustomed to hang a mop on - these nails, but until Thursday night no-attempt was ever made to remove the mop while in a moist "condition. On that night. Miss Minta Malcolm, a night nurse, attempted to take the mop after the handle had become slightly moistened by the drip pings. At once she received a" terrific shock which hurled her across the room. Her piercing screams brought nurses from all parts of the house to her as sistance. Inexperienced in the dangers that might be encountered is tampering with the deadly fluid, a number joined hands and one of them attempted to remove the mop, which at the time, happened to be required. Instantly a still greater shock was experienced from which all present suffered to some considerable extent. The experience was sufficient, and the removal of mop and nails was left to the electrician the following morning. Electricians say that if connection was really made with the supply wire, it is a wonder a single nurse was left alive to tell of her escape from death. Shippers File Bond to Railroads. By order of the Federal Court the $50,000 bond filed with the court by the Oregon and Washington Lumber Manu facturers' Association and others, to cover possible loss to the Union Pacific and oth - roads as a result of the re cent injunction lssud against increased freight rates on lumber, was reduced to J15.000 yesterday, which it has been found will cover all possible loss. The bond, when the suit was begun, was $250,000, but this was reduced to $50,000 last March. - Bt Paul Ths National Waterways Com mission arrived hare Friday to start on a journey of Inspection down thA.

W. D. Skinner, at Ewahwe Station, on the west bank of the Wil lamette south of the city, at 6:45 P. M. yesterday. Death resulted from an at tack of pneumonia, which -lasted six weAks. The end, it is thought, . hastened by grief caused by the death of his wife, who died three and one-half months ago at the age of 70 years. .'l short time before death cams a let ter was brought to the Skinner home addressed to Mr. Shanahan. from Dr. William O. Stillman. of Albany, N. Y., president of the American Humane'So ciety, stating he had-been awarded a diploma of honor by the National or ganization in recognition of his long and faithful service in humane work. Although the old man had been sick some weeks, his rugged constitution bore up well under the ravages of the disease, and especially during the past few days had prospects for his recovery seemed excellent. Death was sudden an'd unexpected. Mr. Shanarran was born in Cassopolis, Cass County. Michigan, in the year 1S35. He was married at the age of 23 years to Miss Harriet M. Taggart, and one year later moved with his young wife to. California. In 1866 he moved to Portland and engaged in the music and art business. This he conducted until 15 years ago. when he retired, living at 409 Sixteenth street. .ll of his life Mr. Shanahan demon strated a zealous interest in the treat ment of dumb animals, and, with a view to bettering the conditions of animals In Oregon, he organized the Oregon Hu mane Society soon after coming here, and was elected Its corresponding sec retary. Since that time he had been In strumental in the passage of laws pro tecting dumb animals from the savage treatment of ill-tempered masters and in the vigorous prosecution of offenders of that law. Until the death of his wife he continued active In this work, which led t his services being recognized, not only by the people of his home city and state, but by the Nation at large. Mr. Shanahan leaves three children. They are:. Mr.. Agnes Skinner, living at Ewahwe Station; Mrs. Carolyn May-, wife of George H. Mayes, of the same address, and Frederick Shanahan, living on Vashon Island, Puget Sound, near Tacoma, Wash. Mr. Si anahan did not belong to any secret societies, nor was he a member of a church.
