6 THE MORNING OREGOSTAy. SATTJITDAY, APRII 23, 1910. -.MEAGER DIRECT ; TESTIMONY GIVEN Evidence Against McGuire Murder Trial Is Largely Circumstantial. in 3 CONFESSION RULED OUT 'i Grants Pass Trial of Miner Accused 2, of Slaying Knappka Produces Confession Alleged to Have -r Been Given render Promise. GRANTS PASS. Or.. April 22. (Spe cla.l.) For some reason the state did not attempt today, as was anticipated, to 2 bolster up evidence given by the wlt v jiess, Akers, yesterday In the course of 'ahe McGuire trial, but Instead, other '."witnesses told of finding of the body of the deceased as it lay In the path face downward as felled by McGuire during: 'the affray. ,J ?fl.ff 131 It was brought out that McGuire aLo made a confession to Deputy Sheriff " Clanton, under the impression and prom ? lse that if he told all it -would not be J used against him. The attempt to bring another confession before the Jury was i not allowed under the ruling of the '? court. ? The main facts show that Knappka was ' shot once in the breast just above the Qieart, the ball ranging downward, also in the right groin and that the last shot took effect in the right hand. Several i photographs were introduced and identic-fled as scenes of the tragedy. In all, j. the state did not strengthen Its posl v tion. In fact the defendant has not been connected with the crime except upon, the ;i testimony of the Sheriff, who recited the J facts as told him the morning after the ' crime was committed. ' The defense now believes that the state will be unable to prove Its case beyond ft : reasonable doubt and. to that end 1 J' preparing to move for a verdict of ac ai' quittal upon the ground that the evid- ence does not support the allegations of f. the Indictment. The grizzled old miner appeared In ;' better spirits today, having regained his '-,; composure from long hours of trial. But ''' two more witnesses are to be examined b toy the state and that side of the case - i will rest. There is a current opinion, that Mo ' Gulre will be acquitted if the case reaches the Jury for the reason that the state has been handicapped at every turn for lack of evidence which could not be had, there being no eye-wltneeses to the affair at the time It occurred. ; "FRATS" IN FIGHT FOR LIFE .': Sew Edict Dy San IVanclsco School Board Causes Defiance.

F. and A. M., of which Mr. Froman was a prominent member for many years. The body was interred in the Masonic Cemetery, Albert a Real King. Human Life, The little kingdom by the English Channel that is squeezed in between Holland and France, drew recently a very much-needed present in its stocking- a new King, His main desire in life is to see "the wheels go "round." They eay that if he had not been bem a Prince he would have been a mechanic of exceptional ability. Some years ago, when he was swinging around the United States of America circuit, he dodged all the func tions he could, and put in his time seeing the big things that American engineers had been doing. When he struck Pitts burg, the mighty captains of industry there showed him through the endlees miles of big works until his tongue was hanging out of his mouth, but he was happy: He -wanted to pitch camp and stay a year. Which was good evidence of the stuff he had in him, for most vis itors are keen to get out of that city of unholy murk, money and madness by the first train. The Prince and George West inghouse hit it off like long-lost broth ers. Everything that concerns industry nan me rigni oi way with his attention, especially the sciences. He's well up on electricity, metallurgy and economics, and has lectured pn these subjects con siderably more than once. But that is only one side of King Al bert. He's a soldier, besides, having started at the bottom of the military ladder and worked his way up by merit, and not by favoritism, until he was a Major at 24. Furthermore, he's a Roose velt when it comes to the love of out doors and exercise. He rides a horse as thought he were a part of it, and can outwalk any three men. He drives his own motor. If the gear-box goes on a strike, down he goes under the car and does the fixing himself. There is a story that a pert and pretty waitress recently ordered him out of a spotless Tyrol Inn because a long struggle with a rebellious motor had made him look like an oiler on an Atlantic liner. Appreciating the humor of the situation, he went. Personally, he suggests a young col lege professor. Frankness, amiability and intelligence the biggest signals on his face. He Is courteous, democratic, en joys music and can Juggle on the vocabu laries of four languages on the tip of his tongue. Belgium likes him, and the latch strings of all the royal houses abroad are out for him, which was far from the case when his predecessor was travel ing. -His marriage to the Duchess Eliza beth of Bavaria was a real and not a diplomatically arranged love affair. They have two children. We hear with interest that the new monarch Is a 5-o'clock riser. That augurs well, for he'll have to get up early in tha morning to make any impression, on the tough Job that's cut out for him in the Congo. MONEY FOR BETTER TEETH Boston Man Pounds Dental Infirm ary Free to All Children. Boston Cor. New York Sun. Thomas A. Forsythe, a wealthy resident of this city, plans to give J3.000.000 for the care of the teeth of Boston school child ren. As a perpetual foundation by which every child in the city from birth to the age of 16 years may receive the most ex pert dental services free of charge this donation will prove a boon to thousands of school children who otherwise would never have this care. The money, with a part of which will be erected a building equipped with every modern apparatus known to the den tists art and managed by a corps of the best dentists in the state, has been set aside by Mr. Forsythe and only the pass age of a bill petitioning for the incorpora tion of his idea by the Legislature stands between the plan and its. immediate real ization. The proposed dental Infirmary will be the most unique institution of its kind In the country. 0TJ;e Forsythe Dental Infirmary, the name given to the new institution, will be in Hemenway street.

Ammonia Gun Beats Wildcat, Fairfield (N. J.) Dispatch to New York: Pres. Bertram Donaldson, of Caldwell, driv ing a horse attached to a cutter sleigh, came into this place this afternoon with his horse's flanks heaving. "A little after I left Caldwell." he ex plained to the crowd around the drug store. "I heard a terrible meowing be hind me. I looked back, I saw a wlld cat. gray, and twice as big as a house tomcat. He was rushing down on me. 100 feet away. His- eyes were blazing green. I whipped up my mare. For a quarter of a mile she held her own with the wildcat, and then she began to slow down. But her speed had given me time to think. I reached down into the sleigh and pulled out my ammonia pistol and pointed it at the wildcat. The stream of ammonia struck him in the middle of the forehead, and splat tered into both eyes. "He gave several piercing? cries, turned a complete somersault, and then began wabbling back down the road. I carry the pistol with me on country roads to use on dogs that dash out at me." : ft?

Ballard Shuts Down and 85 Mills in Vicinity of Bellingham Will Suspend Heavy Orders From East Find Stocks Low. SEATTLE, April, 22. The closing of 11 shingle mill in Ballard was fol lowed today by the sending of five en voys to Bellingham and other shingle towns to induce the mills there to close.

Rainier Improvements Hastened. RAINIER, Or.. April 22. (Special.) Street improvement work began here last Summer and delayed by wet weather, will be finished within 30 TIME AND THE PLACE FOR GOOD INVESTMENT THE PRESENT PERIOD OF DEVELOPMENT AT ALAMEDA PARK OFFERS EXCEPTIONAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. The average prospective inves tor of residence real estate feels that he wants to buy in a "settled up district. ' ' TILTS IS NATURAL BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS WISE. Everybody who invests in real estate has an eye to future ad vance in value. The average set-tled-up district has already expe rienced its advance, and there is small reason and less likelihood for increase in values. On the other hand, the unset tled district, favorably located, has a FUTURE BEFORE it and the man who purchases one or more lots in such a property places himself in a position to REAP THE INCREASE IN VALUE which will accrue to this property with development. He is enabled to buy at a low price and sell at an advanced price. This is the old simple and only rule by which, Carnegie says, "the average man can hope to be come well-to-do." However, the objection is raised that an unsettled district is an uncertainty, in that it is hard to tell what the class of residents will be, and, therefore, is hard to say what the value of the prop erty will be. . This objection is met and over come by BUILDING RESTRIC TIONS, such as the Alameda Land Company have imposed upon all lot purchasers in Alameda Park. This Company have laid out a COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT by which uni form, firbt-class city, improve- ments will be installed throughout the Park, without delay. CEMENT WALKS, CURBS, HARD - SURFACED PAVING AND SEWER, and so through the list, are insured to every single street in this Park. On top of this, FLOWERING HAWTHORN TREES AND SHRUBBERY are being planted and CLUSTER STREET LAMPS will be in stalled. All these provisions are ABSO LUTE INSURANCE OF THE HIGH CHARACTER OF THIS DISTRICT. Therefore, no man who has money to invest need fear to place it in ALAMEDA PARK. The prices are low, fifty per cent lower than property of simi lar grade within five minutes' dis tance Dy car. me reason is that Alameda Park is just in the build ing stage. A year hence and the prices in Alameda Park will also be at the high-water mark, be cause it will then be a "built-up district.'-' The moral is plain, buy in Ala meda Park. Buv now. Lnnk th town over; then see this district for yourself. PRICES WILL ADVANCE upon the completion of the car- une to tne center ot the tract, MAY 1.
