Three Local Kesidents Reported, to Have Won Biff Bequest Tjeft by George I. Xelson, of Spring field Denial la Made. Though official announcement has not reached this city, it was reported Wed nesday from Springfield. Mass., that Mrs. Mary Booth, a worter in a local Chinese mission, has been left $1,000,000 by the will of George I. Nelson, of Springfield, Mass., who died in the East yesterday. It is further reported that Henf y C. King, a Portland attorney, and Monroe Goldstein, a local news paper man, will share in the bequest, owing to their efforts in behalf of. Mrs. Booth. Late last night reports from Spring field denied that Mrs. Booth had been made the sole heir of the estate, but this fact will not be positively masle known till the Nelson will is admitted to probate in the Massachusetts court. Furthermore, it Is now said that the estate is not worth over $800,000. Trio Took Up Fight. Two years ago, at the death of Mrs. Vinton, Mr. Goldstein made a trip to Springfield in Mrs. Booth's behalf, at the instance of Mr. King, who had taken Mrs. Booth's contest case on a contingent fee of one-half of what she eventually received. Goldstein agreed to go back to Springfield and make arrangements for fighting the probation of the will for a 5 per cent commission from what both King and Mrs. Booth received. The contestants were defeated and the "Vinton will was admitted to pro bate, Netson coming into the estate the exact value of which was un known. Air. Goldstein, in speaking, of the be quest reported to have been made to Mrs. Booth, "last night said: "I received a message from Probate Judge Hampden of the County Court at Springfield, saying that Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Booth of this city had been named legatee of $1,000,000 by Mr. Nel son. I never heard of this man Dunn and I do not know that Nelson has any relatives at all. If anyone tries to contest the will I will leave at Once for Springfield and renew the fight as I did two years ago. Thousrh It will be some days before the will will be probated, the following Information came from Springfield In a dispatch to The Oregonian last night "Denial was made hero tonight by George D. Dunn, or Rochester, N. x paid to be the only living heir of George. D. Xlson. the wealthy hotel and theater owner, who died here yesterday, that a bequest ' of $1,000,000 had been made to Mrs. Mary Booth, of Portland, Or., by bis un"cle. . . T!i will has not yet been admitted to probate and its exact contents' are not officially known. 'According to Dunrr? the estate of Nel son will not reach $1,000,000 and aside from a few minor -bequests, amounting in the aggregate to about $75,000, he is the ile beneiiciary. . ' "Nelson came Into the money and prop erty at the death of Mrs. Enima G. Van ton, widow of the late J. Bliss Vinton, the paper collar manufacturer, for whom he was superintendent. Mrs. liooth Is Only Cousin. "Dunn claims that Mrs. Vinton did not have a eitrter and that Mrs. Mary Booth 1s not more closely related to her than cousin. He is positive, he says, that Mrs. Booth is not named as a beneficiary of the estate in the will. At the time of Mi-j. Vinton's death, he sw!d. Mrs. Booth, with other relatives, contested the will, which was finally held valid. "The report that Nelson's estate in valued at $5,000,000 is declared by Dunn to be a fake. Dunn is in Springfield to night and talked freely of the circum stances of his dead uncle's life. He said: 4'I . have positive knowledge, that I am named as the executor of the will and aside from a few minor bequest;? amount ing to less than $100,000 am the sole bene ficiary. I know nothing of any money or property being l?f t to Mrs. Mary Booth, of Portland. Or. NEW HOUSE IS DESTROYED 1'irp Consumes Itesltlcnce at Kast Thlrty-riflh and Skirimorc.

HASKELL DEFENDS SELF Witnesses Called to Show Illegal Expenditure of Public Funds. OrTHKIE, Okla.. Feb. 10. Tho legis lative committee appointed to examine charges against Governor Haskell and other state ofticials that they spent pub lic funds irregularly, heard the testimony uf two witnesses in the opening session of tho inquiry yesterday. They were O. T. Smith, private secretary to the Governor, and W T. Hutchins, a. Muskogee attar- ney, who is jointly indicted with Goverr nor Haskell for the alleged Muskogee townsite frauds. Governor Haskell is defending htm self before the Inquisitorial body. Mr. Smith was questioned by the commission about work he did for Gov ernor Haskell in taking depositions in a suit against William R. Hearst when in Ohio on state business in 1901. The witness admitted that he took the depo sitions, but said that for the time he devoted to private matters he gave the state credit by a proportionate deduc tion from his monthly -salary. 1 he state payroll does not show that any money was deducted from Smith's sal ary In the month he was in Ohio. Smith said it might have been taken out on a later date. Governor Haskell asked Smith If he did not recall that George Risser, an attorney in Lima, O., had rendered val uable assistance to the state when in the Governor's employ and that be had paid him with a private check, re marking to Smith that Kisser's serv ices to the state would offset any of Smith's time lost while he was doing private work for Governor Haskell. Smith testified he recalled the conver sation, but his memory regarding de tails was faulty. He was asked to pro duce records of all of his financial transactions with the state. W. T. Hutchins testified that he re ceived $500 for a written opinion ten dered the Governor on the capitol loca tion question and suffrage election laws. The money was paid from a fund given to the Governor to be spent for tzvtra help in office, including nec essary help in holding county seat and special elections in towns desiring1 to become cities of the first class." HAITERS LOSE $222,000 DECISION' AT HARTFORD IS BliOW TO BOYCOTT. Court Declares That Effort Was Made to Cripple and Possibly De stroy Business of Defendant. From New York Paper. HARTFORD, Conn., Keb. 4. Under an announced verdict of $74,000, which is automatically tripled by the Sherman anti-trust law to $223,000, and with costs amounts to about $240,000, the jury to the 7-year-old hatters' boycott ease, which has been in the United States Circuit Court on trial for four months, found this afternoon for the plaintiff, D. 13. Loewe & Co., independent hat manufac turers of Danbury and Bethel, who re fused to unionize their shops and were nearly driven outv of business by the United Hatters of North America. The case had been pending seven years. The euit was brought against Martin Lawlor, John Cords and 239 other hatters, members of Danbury, Bethel and South Norwalk local unions of the United Hat ters of North America, who had been em-, ployed by the hatting firm and who had declared a strike and boycott against the firm July 25, 1902. ."Aside from the great principle laid down by this case, which for hundreds of years will bo cited as a precedent and a deterrent against both capital and labor," remarked Daniel Davenport, counsel for Mr. Loewe with "Walter K. Merritt, of New York City,- after the decision this evening, "the greatest question deter mined is that to which we have held, that every member who pays a dollar to his union, which in turn supports the Na tional bodies, which form the American Federation of Labor, Is responsible for the acts and statements of the officers. "Every union man in this country is responsible, because he pays and, by proxy, votes for the officers, for what they do with their tremendous machine, which would in time have ruined every independent merchant or manufacturer in the country, had this casa of conspiracy gone against Mr. Loewe. it is a new declaration of independence." Referring to the decision of the Su preme Court on the question raised in the present suit, Justice Piatt said: Tho court considers it a presentation of a large plan entered into by the defendants and others to cripple, hamper and possibly destroy the ability of the plant to produce hats at home, and in connection therewith to hamper, cripple and possibly destroy the plaintiff's ability to distribute Its product to ultimate consumers in other states, thereby necessarily reducing and restraining the na tural flow of commerce between the home Plant and places of deposit in other states. It is your duty to accept it as law in this case that the defendants are parties to a combination that has been found by the Supreme. Court to form a valid basis of this suit., :. The decision sounds the death knell to future boycott and intimidation of em ployers by employes, unless the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, to whom counsel for the defendants appeal, re verses the jury's decision on law points, a long list of exceptions to the Judge's charge being filed by the hatters' coun sel.

MYSTERY ENWRAPS GIRL-WIFE'S DEATH Tragedy Suspected in Sudden Passing of Ethel Fry in Curry County Wilds; POISONING IS HINTED AT Relatives Will Ask for Grand Jury Investigation as Means of Ascer taining W hether the Girl Died. From Natural Causes. MARSHFIELX). Or.. Feb. 10. (Specials Whether jwlson given with murderous intent, suicide or a deadly illness caused the eudden death of an unfortunate girl is the question being asked bv neonle in Curry County in the case of one who was yet . child and who was married to a man old enough to be her grandfather, later separated from her husband and died within five months of her wedding day. Back: in the mountains of Curry County, in one of the most isolated, lonesome and inaccessible districts of the Pacific Coast country, death of an apparently mys terious nature came to Mrs. Ethel Fry, aged only 18 years. The girl died Jan uary 26, and the circumstances surround ing the case, as nearly as can be learned, have started reorts at Gold Beach that there was something irregular. Poisoning Is Suspected. Poison as the possible cause of death has been suspected, but no arrest has been made and the whole matter of the death will probably be left for the grand jury to probe. The fact that the child wife had sep arated from her husband Boon after the marriage adds further complications to the pathetic story, the real facta 'of which are cloaked in darkness. Jars. Fry died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Thomas, who live in a locality known as Clay Hill, 25 miles from the mouth of Rogue River. James Fry, the husband of the dead girl, is a rancher' living in the same part of the country as the Thomas fam ily. Four or five months ago the old grey-haired man was married to the Thomas girl. Girl Quits Husband. Two months ago Mrs. Fry left her husband and went to her parents' home. After she died word was brought to Gold Beach that there was suspicion of poisoning, and the theory and the facts In the case were presented to the Jus tice of the Peace at Lan gulls. No formal complaint was made, and the Justice left on a trip to the mountains. The Sheriff, not having any warrant, could not make an arrest. The body was held for several days at the home of the girl's parents but was finally buried and there was no post mortem to ascertain the cause of death. It is not known at Gold Beach whether or not a physician attended the girl. Investigation to Be Made. It is stated by the officials that the grand Jury will investigate the case, but it is doubtful if it can ever be ascertained whether poison was admin istered by the girl herself or by others. Some of the Gold Beach people think that the death was natural, although the girl's fatal illness was but of two days' duration. But others suSDect something deeper and have expressed, their opinion there is sufficient ground to bring about an investigation by the next grand jury. POPE REBUFFS SPAIN REQUEST FOK REVISION OF CONCORDAT MEETS REFUSAL. Alfonso AVill Reply That Will of People on Religious Liberty Must Prevail. MADRID, Feb. 10. The Imparcial an nounced yesterday that the Vatican op posed a categorical non posumus re grardiniy tho proposition of the Span ish government for the reform of the concordat of 1851. The paper says the government probably will proceed with the work without ne gotiation with Rome. If the Vatican appeals to King Alfonso, the latter will reply that, Although he is personally submissive to- the church, he is a constitutional sovereign and must bow to the will of the government and people. The reform of the concordat of 1S51 is one of the principal articles in the pro gramme of the Liberal government of Spain. It has already been unsuccess fully attempted by other Liberal Minis ters. The modifications sought affect chiefly the clauses relating to liberty of conscience and education and the limita tion of religious orders. CABINET FALLS, KEW OXE IS IX Morel's Catering to Republicans Causes Split Among Liberals. MADRID, Feb. 10. Internal Liberal dissensions culminated today in the resignation of the Spanish Cabinet, of which Moret y Prendergast was Pre mier. The King at once charged Jose Cantalejas y Mendos, a Democrat and leader of the extreme Liberal left, to form a new Ministry. This he has done, the Ministry being constituted as follows: Premier. Jose Cantalejas y Mendos; Foreign Minister, Garcia PrJetro; Inte rior, Senor Sagasta; War, General Az nar; Marine, Arias ''Mirande; Finance, Senor Sobian; Justice, Ruiz Valarino; Public Works, Senor Calbeton; Public Instruction, Senor Romanonex. The dissension was the outgrowth of the Premier's intended appointment of a Minister of the Interior and the con tention of the right wing of the Lib erals that Senor Moret's catering for the support of the Republicans tended to imperil the monarchy. The climax was reached when the executive committee of the Liberal par ty, headed by Senor Romanonez, re signed and a majority of the Liberal ex-Ministers advised the King, that, if a radical change in the policies was impossible. Premier Moret should be superseded in the interests of harmony and that the Cabinet should be re organised. On the other side, the Imparcial has been accusing the Liberal right of con nivance with ex-Premier Maura to break up the Moret Ministry and over throw the Liberals. The paper insists that Premier Morot was only carrying out & programme destined to satisfy all the factions of the left.

Ex-Vice-President Fairbanks has received rriiny cablegrams from tho United States congratulating him on his attitude towards the Vatican. One says: n "Your dignified vindication of American toleration is heartily indorsed.' Another say 9: "The entire Protestant world congratu lates you." Other messages have been received from various places in Italy, among them one saying: "Greatly admire your attitude in pre ferring to spe&k to the evangelical peo ple of Home rather than submit to Vati can intolerance.' The Tribuna Bays: "Ex-President Roosevelt is expected here soon. He aleo has been invited to speak before the Methodists. We Bhall see if he prefers the Methodists or the Pope." Fairbanks Explains Act. Several versions of the incident are in circulation, -but Mr. Fairbanks gives the following: , "When on Sunday I reached the Ameri can college. Mgr. Kennedy said that he had been advised from the A7atican that it would be impossible for me to have a Papal audience if I delivered my con templated address at the American Methodist Church. I replied that I had agrc-ed to make an address and was obliged to keep the engagement; that I had always exercised the privilege to speak to Catholics and Protestants alike whenever they desired and whenever it was possible, and, therefore the arrange ment for the audience I regarded as ended. Catholics Praised, Too. "I spoke to the students of the college along patriotic and moral lines, giving the Catholic Church a full share of the credit for the great work accomplished by all the Christian churches. "The subject of the Papal audience was suggested again by Mgr. Kennedy a -little later. He had received instruc tions In the meantime and .said that, if I did not speak at the Methodist Church, the audience would hold good. I re plied that I appreciated the intended courtesy but the alternative was Impos sible. I would speak as announced and thus would be obliged to forego the audi ence with the Pope. "When I advised Ir. Tipple, pastor of the Methodist Church, he said that he was ready to release me from the engage ment, but I answered that that was im possible. Under the circumstances, I felt obliged to speak in fulfillment of a promise made before the Papal audience was arranged.1' $20 BUY BUNCH OF STICKS New Yorker Thinks He's Paying for Clotbing tor Friend.
