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

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.

OSTEOPATH
BILL RATTLES
. (By John W. 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.
