Proprietors j Objections by Jerome Continued From Page 1 carried a pisto1 in New York but believed he never did when not in New York. "Did you ever say anything to your husband about the visit you made to May McKinii at the hospital when she was ill and where you met White?" "Yes" answered the witness. Jercme and Del mas were again in a spirited con test at to tht admissibility of th evi dence along the self defense lines. Th answer was ruled out. The defense then asked for adjournment that he might pre pare his expert testimony. The change of program which Thaw's attorneys have adopted it presumoly forced upon them by the fact that much of their testimony this morning wat ruled out on technical objections by the prosecution. It it likely that Delmaa will put an insanity specialist on the stand. At the opening of the court this after noon Dr. Charles Wagner was called. He said he hailed from Binghampton New York, had held positions in many insane asylums, had studied insanity and insane or a number of , years . and professed familiarity with the disease. He was brot on th stand to build the legal base which the court has ruled must be laid down before the defense can start to work on the insanity plea. He dwelt at length on many instance wuiwii lie guiiMuoiou aijiuia uruuf liiai. Thaw wat occasionally subject to spells of almost complete insanity. At on time he wat called to give a professional examination of the defendant and came away fully satisfied that hit client wat not mentally ttrong. To th tax payers of La Grand. ' ' "' In ordr that you may thoroughly un derstand th question of bonding tht city to bring water from Beaver creek and why th writer signed th report of th special water ommitte wherein th powr, lectric lighting and irrigation proposition war reommndd to r stricken out of th ordinance authorizing th council to issue bonds, your attention is called to the following reasons: rirst The council can only act within itt chartered power. Th powr con ferred upon or delegated to th council to engage in t.io lighting business it found in subdivision of taction 35 of th present charter and the proposition it stated in these words: "To provide for liahtinu th streets wjth gas or other lights'? You tee the council can onlv furnish lights for the street and hat no authority to tell power for lighting to the' oeoole. If th new charter had been adopted it would be different. ' Second In Augutt of 1906 the coun cil passed an ordinance authorizing th Mayor and Recorder to ntr into a con tract with the Grand Rond Electric Co. to light the ttrwUfor a term ofthr year. That contract wat entered Into and will be In fore till Augutt 1 909 to w would hav no us for a city lighting plant until that contract expires. - Third Th city ha no mor right to divert the water of a stream for power purposes than has an individual or a pri vate corporation and the city could be tuccessfully enjoined by any adverse claimant for diverting the water for power purposes. This would tie the water proposition up Indefinitely and would defeat the object we wish to attain which it to furnish the city and its inhab itants with an ample supply of pure water for general city use and domestic purposes. Fourth For the same reasons the city has no authority to divert water for irrigation any more than any person but it does have a superior right to appro priate water for domestic use. Fifth -Even if the city had the author ity to do all the things herein mentioned and could not be successfully enjoined it will take considerable time to build the p;pe line and get the water to the reser voir. We wou'd not need the money to install a light plant for another year at least when the bonds could then be au thorized for a light plant. Sixth-Another thing we have to con s.der is the credit of the city and the amount of bonds that can be successfully floated at par. and a', a rate of interest not to exceed 5 per cent. The cty already oes $100,000. with $160,000 added to it. should you decide to authorize this additional issue, will make $260,000. which will be equal to 25 per cent, of the assessed valuation of r?periy within the city limits. This is a h .1 percentage of debt based on present values of city property. You add S40.- 000 to this amount and the difficulty of noating the bonds will be increased. In view of all these conditions it was deemed advisable to make the issue of bonds as small as possible and for the purpose only of securing water for do mestic use and general city purp ses. J. B.

Kelley) Salem, Or., Feb. 7 There was a rat tling of bones when the otteopath bill, introduced by Senator Nottingham, was reported back by the committee on medi cine, recommending itt indefinite post ponement and offering a substitute meas ure. Nottingham charged the regular doctors with deliberately attempting to kill the bill, while Senator Cole, a physi cian, denied the conmittee hid ulterior motives. He said that the committee law no reason why the osteopaths should be giveh greater powers and privileges thar) regular physicians. : On motion of Senator Malarkey, the bills are to come up as special order of business Tuesday morning. Legislation regulating otteopatht has been a tore spot since the session opened, and even before. It hat been agitated for several years, and each time without the success the osteopaths expected. The regular physicians hav always been well represented in the Senate, and they have stood together to a man.: .This time the osteopath hav organized their forces better than ever before. They have telegraph and sent letters to v .ry Sen ator urging th pastag of the bill intro duced by Nottingham. They haqe assem bled a Ibbby which na been active amon th mimbr and befor th com mittee on medicine, It ha bean a de termined fight on their part. When, th bill wat presented and re ferred, Nottingham resented its reference to th. medicine committee, predicting its fata in such an event! and trying to have it tent to a mor favorable body. The re port of th committee with it substitute bill caused . Nottingham to unbottle his wrath against the medicine doctor and he roasted ' them to hi heart's con tent. .-. (- - i "I am aware that there ha been a storm brewing." he began shaking hi finger in th direction of the committee on medi cine. "If I couldn't com out - into th open and fight I'd go out of business. . Th physicians ask to hav all th power and authority but when they try to stop other from doing business it it'nt fair, h it right to put a bill, in the hands of itt nomies? I knew :. they'd try to kill it. , Would it be fair to put a barber bill in th hands of men who never shave and do not . believe in shaving?: These doctors don't believe in osteopathy and because they dont object to others who want it. , , i :,. ,, "For . four, sessions the otteopatht hav been at Legislature. Now we want thit bill, . not . th substitute.,: Th doctor propose a new bill entirely,., We're not interfering with the medicinal depart ment and don.'t want to practice medicine," . Of course such, accusations could not b overlooked by th regular physician and Senator Col stood up to champion . th substitute. U,3, ,,... . . !'l don't cars an jota fqr th osteopaths." indigpantly protested the physician,, 'but I do car about lowering t: e standard of medical. education in th state, ,,W hav provided, in ,th bill that osteopaths, take tht tame examination at others andjhat the osteopath have no mor privileges than regular physicians." , , , Then it wa up to th laymen, 'This is a question which should be settled by those not doctor," announced Malarkey. ' If we are to legislate on thit general subject we'll do it in the interest of the public. No matter whether these people are osteopaths, allopaths, homeo paths, or any other paths, they are all alike on one pomt-they are trying to heal me sick. We don t care how osteoDaths undertake to cure. But, shall each sep arath branch of the healing art have a sep arate board? I want the intelligent and trained osteopath piotected from the quack osteopath, but 1 object when we say -We shall have this bill and no other." If we follow it out to the logical conclus ion we will have state boards for chiropo dists, manicurists and everything else. I have received many letters asking me to support the Nottingham bill in its entirety, yet probably not 90 per cent of the people sending these letters have read the bill or studied it." Telegram.
