Mr. Cray was under the care of Dr.
T. C. Morris- and last night was said
to be resting easily. He epected to
be able to set up today but has been
confined to hl bed a great d.-al of the
tine since leaving St. Louis on bla
Western trip.
The cause Is given as too strenuous
work la clearing bis work at t. Louis
to take bla new position and the strata
of the Ion Journey.
Later Visit Contemplated.
It la understood that Mr. Cray will
make another trip to Spokane In the
near future, due to the fct that be
waa unable to lea re bla car while there.
He wants to see the road of which be
is to become the head and Intends to
Inspect all of the lines as soon aa his
health permits.
Mr. Gray's dutiea as president of the
' North Bank and Hill lines In Oregon
will be a-Id tomorrow morning. May 1.
For few days routine business will
demand his attentlrn. but after be be
comes acquainted with the work of bis
.office he will have many weighty prob
lems to consider. Mr. Stevens will re
main la Portland a few daya follow
ing Mr. Gray'a arrival and will Initiate
hla successor into the duties of his of
fice. . .
The new chief 'already la thoroughly
familiar with the situation on the sys
tem of which he assumes charge, havlcg
visited Portland for that purpose early
la March, lie made a trip into Central
Oregon over the new Oregon Trilnk line
and traveled on the electric lines, lie
learned of the proposed extension of the
Oregon Klectric to J2ugece and of the
lolled Kailwas to Tiilamook Bay. to
gether with the p. ens for the comple
tion of the Oregon Trunk to Bend and
the probable construction of a line from
Bend to connect with the Pacific Last- j
era at Butte fails, wnlch will give the
Mill system entrance lata M0(ord. The
Paclric at Kaxtrrn first was built from
jsedlord to t-ag.e Point, a distance of 11
miles, but tne remaining 2u miles from
c-t Point to Butte r'alla opened a
short time ago and now is a part of
the Hiil sysiem. CuaaUuclion of the
line from Bed to Butte rails already
has been announced by Mr. Stevens as
a part of the general Improvement
scheme planned for Oregon, and may
be one of the first projects that Mr. .Gray
will carry out after actively assuming
charge of the road.
Juc;lkn of Mallon Important.
Another question that always was con
sidered one of Mr. ttlcveua' responsi
bilities Is the d-pot project In Portland.
It has been announced tepealedly tha
the Hill Interests intend building an In
dependent passenger station here be
cause of the inability to agree upon a
L'nlon depot station with tne Southern
Pacltte and the O.-W. K. at N. Co.. who
control 4 per cent and At per cent, re
spectively, of the Northern Pactnc Ter
minal Comapny. which own Uie present
Union depot and yards.
When J. J. Hill was la Portland last
December he declared that he waa tak
ing no personal Interest In the local sta
tion situation. Inasmuch as be had given
full charge to Mr. Stevens. It Is pre
sumed that Mr. Oray will have like re
sponsibility oa this subject.
Mr. Hill has expressed himself In favor
of an Independent depot In preference
to a Union depot, and the erection by
the Hill lines of a handsome Independent
statloa at Seattle Is taken as a fore
runner of similar action here
Other changes la the Portland Hill
offices la consequence of Mr. Sevens'
departure will take place.

transaction McNair confessed that
Fawk had given him a rebate of $1500.
When the defendants in the suit de
cided yesterday discovered that McNalr
had received a rebate and had not
acted in good faith wtth them In the
transaction, there was a meeting of
plaintiff and defendants In a room in
an office building, January 18, 1911, at
which McNair was told that , he must
pay the money desired, sign away his
claim to the property and give personal
notes to repair the wrong they said he
had done them. If he failed to do so,
the defendants declared, they would
make public his bad faith in dealing
with them and disgrace him.
McNair testified that he was terrified
with the prospect of having his pre
viously good name tainted and he was
willing to compromise in any possible
way. He asked permission to go home
and talk the matter over with his
wife, but his "captors," as he charged
them with being, refused to let him do
so until he had first fulfilled the re
qulrments they demanded. McNair
then obeyed.
