WOMEN WEEP AT STORY Father Tries to Attack Dr. A- W. Mc Davit in California Courtroom After Daughter Tells Story of Her Wrongs. SAN BERKARDIXO. Cal.. Aug. 31. lr. A. W. McDavit, a dentist, facing trial for the alleged Imprisonment for 15 months In his offices here of Miss Jessie McDonald, was held to answer before the Superior Court today. Only two witnesses were examined by the prosecution, and the hearing occupied less than three hours actual time. Heavily guarded by armed deputy sheriffs. Dr. McDavitt was brought into court from the Jail at Riverside, 12 miles from here, where he had been secretly kept for two weeks to prevent an expected demonstration against mm. Miss McDonald, the first witness called. was followed by Dr. J. S. Mancha, who had attended her when her baby was born. Girl Tells of Her Iiove. "I first met Dr. McDavit In his office when I was having my teeth attended to," said Miss McDonald. "He was al ways very nice to me. One day he told me that if I bit him while he was fill ing a tooth, he would kiss me. I did not bite him. but the next day he told me to press down to- make an Impres sion in wax. I did so, and it pinched his finger. Then he threw his arms about my neck and kissed me twice. "He told me that he loved me, and I loved him, and after the third visit to his office, I made no attempt to resent his caresses. He promised me that he would get a divorce and marry me, and It seemed that I should be very happy always." Several women In the courtroom be gan to sob at this point In the testi mony, and Judge Hanna ordered court adjourned till 2 P. M. Then Miss Mc Donald took up her story, again. Parents' Advice Disdained.' "Because I didn't wish my parents to learn about my disgrace," she said, I decided to go away. My father and mother had warned me against Dr. McDavit, but I believed in him. I told them that he was my best i friend." When court adjourned, D. McDonald, father of the girl, rushed at the pris oner. Deputies prevented him from landing the blow which he had aimed at McDavit's head. In an instant, the courtroom was In an uproar, but the deputies whisked McDavit out of the iroom and away to Jail before the demonstration took serious form. cifio Telephone St Telegraph Com pany. In the 12 months ending last night this company had' In operation 32,320 telephones in - the city. This is a gain of 6320 telephones, or over 19 per cent.

There were many more tele phones put in In August than there was in July, the difference In gain for the two months being 53 per cent. Compared with the situation In Seat' tie, Portland made a much better show lng for the first eight months of the present year. Portland's percentage of increase for that period was 10.6, while Seattle showed a loss of .015 per cent. The Home Telephone & Telegraph Company's business in Portland has made similar strides in Its development and during the month of August made an especially good showing. Livestock Receipts' Increase. August was one of the most active months of the year at the ' Portland Union Stockyards. The total receipts were 48,764 head, an increase of 20,- 703 head over the arrivals In the cor responding month last year. The largest gain was in sheep, a total of 33,006 head reaching the market.

SL United States District Judge Cornelius H. Hanford today continued the temporary injunc tion, granted last week to Augustus S. Peabody, of Chicago, trustee for the bondholders, restraining the City of Seattle and the residents of Rainier Valley, a BUburoan district, from inter fering with the Seattle, Renton & Southern Railway. The attorneys for the city will be given an opportunity tomorrow to ar gue a motion to abate the injunction. The motion to abate is urged by the city on the grounds that ue action brought In Mr. Peabody's name is not brought in good faith, but in collusion with the Seattle, Renton & Southern Railway for the purpose of evading the decision of the state courts, which have already decided the point at issue In favor of the patrons of the road. . The temporary injunction issued by Judge Hanord last week caused such a storm of protest that a mass meeting was held, at which the court was de nounced in incendiary speeches and an effigy of Judge Hanford was hnged in the street. Leaders of the mass meeting were subsequently arrested on Federal warrants, charging conspiracy to obstruct the administration of jus tice in a United States court. .

At First and Burnside streets, Reid was crossing the street and stepped from behind another automobile in front of the car driven by Costner. The automobile knocked Reid down and the front wheels ran over his legs. A crowd saw the accli dent and helped lift the heavy car off RelxS. Costner then drove around the block and Franklin went home, telling Cost-n-r to take the car to the garage. Motorcycle Patrolman Evans was sent to Investigate the accident, and from the description of the car, knew it to belong to the Auto Cab Company. He went to the garage and arrested Costner.

Otto Klopke was discharged from custody In the Sheffleld-avenue Police Court to day when he told Municipal Judge De lan that he was drunk last night be cause he was about to be married. "This court." said Judge Delan. "will not attempt to punish any man who Is about to be married." Klopke was charged with disorderly conduct. The policeman who arrested him testified that he had been drinking heavily and was unable to steer a straight course over the billowy, heav ing sidewalks. After several attempts to throw his helm up into the wind and bring his storm-tossed bark into port, he was falling away rapidly before the wind and was in Imminent danger of capsiz ing when the officer towed him up to the station. "Well, Judge, you see, it was this way," said the penitent wnen ne was asked what he had to say for himself, 'I am going to be married, and I was Just celebrating." v. "Did you say that you were going to be married?" the Judge asked. "Going to be married, Klopke re plied. ' Thereupon the Judge made his cryp tic ruling. "Say," said the dazed Klopke, as he was led out of the courtroom, wnai did the Judge mean? Did he think I ought to sret married or that I was go ing to get enough punishment after I was married?" Still sorrowfully shaking his head, Klopke started homeward in deep thought, and at last reports he had not yet solved the problem.

Question Exists Whether Constitu ent Concerns Can Make Large Profits Separately. as NEW YORK, Aug. 81. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, parent of all the Standard OH companies, ceased today to exist as the holding company of the vast Interests that in the i past it has managed as a trust. The books closed tonight and the stock in the subsidiary companies will be distrib uted among the stockholders pro rata. It will take at least three months to perform the clerical work of distribution. Standard Oil was traded in today at about $625 per share, transactions be ing restricted to cash dealings. A bid of $310 a share for Standard Oil, "ex- Bubsidiaries," or without rights to par ticipation in the distribution of sub sidiaries, was made by a venturesome trader on the " curb, but as no intelli gent appraisal can yet be made of the worth of the stock when divested of its outside holdings, the offer was not ac cepted. ' An official of the company said to day the only element of doubt as to the general effect of reorganization of the present stockholders lay in the ability of the constituent companies, operating independently, to produce as large a total of profits as has been possible under the present form of management.

ELY, Nev., Aug. 81. When the shaft of the Giroux Consolidated mine, which was closed last Friday to ex tinguish the fire which caused ' the death of seven men, was unsealed to day, the body of Daniel Drea, secretary of the Ely- Miners' Union, was found on top of the ladder platform within 15 feet of the surface. He almost had reached safety when he was overcome by the smoke and heat. The body of John McNulty is still in the mine, the shaft being too hot to permit of further search at present. Maximum Range of Nine Miles to Be Used and Fighting In Storm to Be Fart of Game. WASHINGTON, Aug. 31-At " dawn tomorrow the Atlantlo fleet, the real power of the American Navy, will be gin its spectacular Summer practice oft the Chesapeake Capes, under simu lated battle conditions. Realizing that future combats will be fought at great distances, not a shot will be fired during the two weeks of the practice at a range less than 9000 yards. The maximum ranges of the practice will be 16,000 yards, or more than nine miles. Instead of holding the practice for two or three days, as has been the cus tom, the Navy Department has extend ed the programme over two weeks, that the battleships may be sure to encounter rough weather. It is ar gued that the sailor cannot choose hla time or conditions of battle and for that reason the elementary exercise of the past has been abandoned for two great battle practices In the open sea each year. Features of the exercises will be tests with box kites, representing aero planes, and experimental work in re pelling night attacks by torpedo ves sels and submarines. Before the practice closes the Dreadnought Delaware will make a second attempt to demolish the San Marcos (the old Texas) and end this ship's existence. Only a few days ago she was almost shattered by the Dela ware's 12-inch rifles at ranges of 15, $00 and 16,000 yards. New Railway Surveyors Out. MARSHFIELD. Or. Aug. 31. (Spe cial.)
