Adams defendant a attorneys in the case of the state against Frank Guglielmo rested their case and without argument left it ia the hands of the court and jury. Their action came as a surprise to Dis trict Attorney Manning, who bad not expected that the case would get to the jury until today. - , Interesting only in its sudden ness, it was the sharp termination of the trial of a self-confessed mur derer so plainly and indisputably guilty that even the audience had crown weary of the blunt and bloody details oi tbe crime, a rang Gulielmo, a young Italian saloon keeper, was accused of the murder of Freda Garacio, 16-year-old daughter of an Italian laborer re siding on Harrison street. Gug lielmo ia a fit of jealous rage be cause she had withdrawn her prom ise to marry him, went to her bouse and shot the young girl dead where she stood working at the ironing hoard id her motner's kitch6n. Under such circumstances it was not surprising that 30 minutes af ter the jury left the court room word was sent in that they had ar rived at a verdict. At 10 minutes after five o'cteck Foreman H. C, Coleman handed thejury's finding to Judge Cleland, Guglielmo, with his eyes cast down, his lelt band in his pocket and perspiration rolling trom bis lorebead, stood up ana listened to the reading of the ver dict; which pronounced him guilty of murder in the first degree. The only penalty is banging. His a. o teys asked tbe court 1U days in wbich to move for a new trial, and this was granted. In the number of witnesses for tbe defense yesterday afternoon the only surprise occurred when Mur phy called the accused to take the witness stand. Guglielmo complied . His face took oo a dull red hue ashe faced tbe crowd, and he could bare ly speak in answer to questions by his attorney. ; Repeatedly he was ordered to speak louder, but throughout the examination neith er the court, tbe : district attorney nor the jury-were ' 'able-. to under stand more than a fraction of what he said. A number of letters from Freda was shown him and he iden tified themas having been brought to him by his messenger. , Some of these letters his attorney read to the jury. All were filled with af fectionate phrases. In one written a few days before the writer's death she used most endearing terms, declared she loved him and always would, and wished that he might be with her all the time; that she had spoken to her mother about his coming to the house and they both agreed that he should come once a week, on Saturday night, but that she would go out two or three times a week and they could meet. She referred to some one as an "old fool," and said that Frank ehould not come to the house often owing to this unnamed person's op position. In another letter she re ferred to her sister Margaret as a fool, and deplored her opposition to Frank. With these exceptions the letters were mild, loving and well worded, and reflected only the pure love of an innocent young girl. Each letter was signed "Miss Fre da Garacio." Attorney Murphy af ter submitting the letters as evi dence without objection from the state, read them to the jury, water. The boat ' was constructed especiall j for the Upper Willamette trade and is remarkably roomy for a craft of her size. ' Not , only is there a large extent , of space for bulky cargo oa the lower deck; but the cabins and staterooms up above are of exceptioal size. Capt. Graham has fitted op the boat with a spe cial view to the comfort oihis passen gers and has ! made many innova tions that will be appreciated by them. Among the features of the boat in the mechanical department are the electric plant and the steam capstain and hoisting apparatus. Especial pains were also taken to make tbe or art ;s of the crew ! comfortable. Another good idea is tbe sanitary arrangement of the gal ley and pantry, which will permit an odorless at mosphere net usually found in such departments.

It ia small, having- win dows secured by wooden bars and a jailyard inclosed by. a solid fence of three-quarter-inch boards, which a healthy male could push over with his shoulder. But the prisoners rarely, if ever, attempt to escape. Some good stories are told by Judge Kellogg-, Judge Hand and other residents. It is a custom to allow the prisoners out on parole, so that they may cut the grass on neighboring lawns, do gar den work, or repair roads for the vil lage or county. Recently one prison er, who should have returned- at eight o'clock, did not apply for admission until nearly an hour later. The war den angrily demanded to know - the reason, and added: "Don't let this occur, again, or I will not allow you to come in. I lock the door at eight o'clock, and won't open it in the future for-you.'. ..Another accused .'-of and awaiting trial for manslaughter; over stayed his parole and pleaded-as an ex cuse, that as it was Saturday he thought he wQuId go and spend Sun day with his wife, returning to the jail on Monday momintr. rTokiOi July 3. The Vladivostok squadron eluded Vice-Admiral Ka- mimura's squadron eastward of the Island or 1 au Friday . night in the darkness. : A drizzling rain and fog favored the. KoBaian veEsels. The two squadrons met. early in the ev ening, the Russians being north of Iki Island and the Japanese south of Tsu Island. They were ten miles apart. .. - :;- - ' ; '- ,;. Ihe Rossi&ns bolted to the north' east when they were discovered by vice-Admiral Kamimura. The lat ter chased them at full speed. ' The Japanese torpedo boats steamed a bead and entered within the range ot the Russian guntv v The Rus sian vessels vigorously , shelled the J apanese torpedo boats.- The firing explained tbe cannonading heard on Tsu Island and gave rise to the belief that a general engagement was in progresss. - -0 ;: Vice-Admiral Kimmura gained oa the Russian ships, and was only. five miles in the rear when sudden ly, at 9 p. m., all the Russian ves sels' extinguished their lights and disappeared in the darkness.

It is suspected that both Russian squadrons hope to seek refuge in a neutral port of China and claim protection. Kai- chou, Cbeefoo and even Wei Hai Wei are mentioned as their destin ation. ' The Japanese contend that they are not entitled to neutral pro tection under the circumstances They deny the case is similar to that of the Russian gunboat Man jur, which was at Shanghai . when hostilities commmenced.

This scared, the ammunition, - men , out, and no. stock was ordered for the summer shooting. Yesterday, however, A, Schmidt, a gunsmith, ' received from the state game ward en the following statement: ; t . - ' Aocordiae to an opinion . deliv ered by the attorney-general of the state, the law failed to pass. The result is, the law remains as before." ' " This means that pheasants may be killed between the -first day of, October and the last day of Novem ber of each year, without fear of prosecution.

The steamer Oregona, the fine new boat just built at the Portland Ship building Company's yards for the Oregon City Transportation Com pany, has been brought down to tbe Taylor-street dock and this morning will make her maiden trip to the Upper Willamette. She ia built with an extremely light draft and will be able to reach tbe upper points at almost any stage of Notice. All persons using water for flowers, lawns or garden will oblige the Company by turning off the water promptly at nine o'clock. While we keep steam up all night we do not keep the pumps running all night, nor are we expected to. We quit pumping between ten and eleven at night, leaving the tanks full, When number of hose are allowed to run all night there is little water left in the tank by morning. Should there be a fire, which is liable to occur any night, there would be but little water for the occasion and if there was there would be no force to fight fire with, either from tank o J pump with so many hose open. Corvallis Water Co. London, July 2. According to a dispatch from Tokio to the Central Mews, only three cruisers of tbe Vladivostock squadron appeared in Tsu Island channel, and the torpe do boats belonging to the squadron bad apparently returned to . Vladi vostok. Heavy connonading was heard a shore at 8:30 yesterday evening, the report says, but the nature and result of the fight are not known. The Russian ships, however, suffer ed no damage, as they were seen afterward steaming in a northerly direction.

Baker is authority for the 'Statement that hunters may kill Chinese pheasants this year during the open season with out fear of prosecution. At the last session of the legislature a bill was introduced to protect the pheasants until October 1, 1906. This bill was reported to have passed both houses, and people had given up the idea of killing pheasants for two years, when it was announced that officers of the lower house, in going over and correcting the records of the session preparatory to sending them to the printing office, had dis covered that the bill did not receive a majority of all the members elect ed to the Houee of representatives, and hence failed to pass. 1 . When the secretary of state sent the bill to the printing office, he in dorsed it on the statement of the of ficers of the House who discovered the mistake, and this statement appears as a note to the bill, with out other comment. This proved unsatisfactory to gunsmiths and ammunition men, who did not know whether to order stock forthe summer pheasant shoot ing. Accordingly, one of them Portland, July 1 Glennie D -Cayler and I Harry Kinney ' two Portland school boys are somewhere , near the mouth of the Columbia , today in a 25-foot single sticker, en route to San Francisco and Hono- ' lulu. v::- ; - .- - Such a voyage was not. hereto-" fore dreamed of by the strongest of men. and even the ' sturdiest Bailor - would ' have quailed; whereas, these headstrong venture- ' some lads have challenged Neptune -' and his dangers on the world 8 greatest ocean. r . ; Glennie J Caylor conceived - the - plan, and his chum, once a student at Bishop Scott Academy, readily consented te be the crew, the Cay " lor bov nrovidini? the sinews of thn x . game in the way 01 enougn money to buy the boat, laying in , a etock of bacon, coffee, pans, kettles , sea biecuitB, blankets, ropes and sails. To Glennie also fell the taek of - persuading his father to consent to ; the project a consent wbich was . given when the father, formerly a . railroad man of Pendleton, but now .: a prominent wholesale commission man of this city, decided that his : headstrong son - would : make the venture whether he ' got - parental approval or not. . The boys, their plans well under way, moored the little craft be neath the Jeff ei son street bridge June 23, and hand-over-hand low, ered their small stock of supplies by ute of a rope. The loading took most of the day. Next morn ing the lads induced the owner of a small naphtha launch to give them a tow to the mouth of the Willam ette. When last seen by any Port land man they were sailing down the Columbia Monday morning. At : that .time everything was going nififilv. Twice since the departure of the little ctaft,' which iB named "The Portland" Mr. Caylor has received letters from his son. One of these communications from St. Helens was mailed at that, town on the 25 th. It contained twenty-five woras ana saia everything was o.' k. Regarding the brave undertaking of his son, Mr. Caylor said: "Glennie is large for his age has always been strong and seemed born of adventurous spirits. Always bas he longed for the sea. Up to a little more than a week - ago he had been working with me. One afternoon he quit work and said he was goicg to San Francisco, was going to make the trip in a small boat; and that in San Fran cisco he proposed to re-stock and make the trip to the Hawaiian islands. "For a long time we talked the matter over, and I tried to dissuade him, but my words were in vain. Reluctantly, I gave him the money, and I did so because I knew his dis position would cause hirn t go with out my consent if be could not go otherwise. "It is true that he i- only 17 years of age, but I believe he is perfectly able to take care of himself. He said it was Honolulu or bust. God knows, I hope he will come out sll rignt."
