DAY AT THE TRAPS.
American and National League
Scores Racen at Oakland and
Eastern Tracks.
LONDON, June 11. The Anglo-American
trap shoot opened today at the Mid
dlesex Gun Club range. The weather was
bright and there was a fair attendance.
Including many ladles. A high wind pre
vented good records.
In a preliminary sweepstakes, 25 birds.
R. O. Helkes. Dayton, Ohio, killed 25
straight; W. R. Crosby, O'Fallon, 111.,
and Fred Gilbert, Spirit Lake, la., were
next highest with 22 each.
T. A. Marshall, Kelthsburg. 111., won the
next sweepstakes with 22 out of 25.
In the International shoot W. R. Cros
by took 19 out of the first 20 and 17 out
of the second. At the end of the 400
birds the score was: Americans, 319;
British, S03.
The total scores of the trap shooters
for the day were: Americans, 856; Brit
ish. SOL
The betting on the American team,
which began at 6 to 5, closed tonight at
10 to 1 In their favor. Nevertheless, Paul
North and the American leaders declare
that all the members of the team are
shooting far beneath their usual level.
It was fully expected that the team could
kill 90 per cent of the birds, but today's
results showed less than 87 per cent. The
high winds and the unfamiliar surround
ings had much to- do with this. Crosby
Jed the American score with 93 birds.
Budd secured 89, Tripp and Helkes 88 each,
and the lowest was 69.
As the British team used a double-barreled
gun and the Americans a single
barrel weapon. It was Interesting to note
that the British team used 33 to 40 per
cent more shells, with less in the total
score.
Frank Parmelee, of Omaha, won the
live-bird contest with 25 straight kills out
of a possible 25.

READY FOR THE CONTEST.
Martin Denny Is Putting on Finish
ing Touches of His Trnining.
Martin Denny, the clever Australian,
is putting on the finishing touches for
his contest tomorrow evening with Tobe
Irwin, the fast lightweight, whose train
ing has been carefully watched by the
local experts. Martin Denny was seen
yesterday afternoon at his training quar
ters at Second and GUsan by a number
who were admitted to see the fast light
weight at work, among them several re
porters. In form the two men are evenly
matched. They are about equal In size
and In cleverness there Is hardly a shade
of difference. Denny is already a little
below his desired weight, and is still
strong and fast. Yesterdav he took his
usual road work In the morning and In
the afternoon did his bag punching, rope
skipping, dumb bell swinging and boxed
several fast rounds with Tom Travey and
Murphy. Denny is one of the strongest
men of his weight and the hardest hitter
of any man that has stepped In a ring in
Portland. He is hard to hit and can
stand all' kinds of punishment. In th
fight with Jimmie Riley he showed his
willingness to mix- things, going In and
taking punishment In order to get at his
opponent.' From the condition that the
two men are in It seems certain that the
fight will last about the limit, 20 rounds,
although the pace that the men are pre
paring to hit up at the start may shorten
it several rounds. Denny has developed
great hitting power and has made all
kinds of friends in Astoria, where he has
appeared several times, and Astoria
money is coming up In lumps to back the
Australian.

THE PRISONER'S BROTHER
WILL PRINCE A WITNESS AT THE
KENNEDY MURDER TRIAL.
He Denied That He Had Exercised
Mesmeric Power Over b
His Sister.
KANSAS CITY, June 1L The defense In
the case of Lulu Prince-Kennedy, on trial
tor killing ner husband, was today begun,
and 2w witnesses were examined. When
the court adjourned tne prisoner's at
torney announced that their side would
not be nmsned before Thursday noon,
'ine bulk of testimony was brought out
in an attempt to prove alibis tor Bert
and C. W. Prince, tne brother and father,
lebpectively, of the prisoner, whom the
state had tried to prove were watching
t nuances to the Ridge Building al the
.time of the murder to prevent Kennedy's
escape. Although the defense tried to
piuvc that they had iett the oder Prince's
poolroom after the shooting occurred, tnev
time given by the witnesses varied from
b:io to 5:45. The shooting took piace at
5:4D.
Will Prince was taken from his cell to
testay, and his entrance Into the court
room caused a buzz among the spectators,
who craned their necks to get a gilmpse
of the man whom the state la trying to
! Prove was the chief actor in the alleged
trance 01 ner Dromer, wnuse testimony
she followed closely. She appeared per
fectly well today. Prince denied that he
had ever exercised mesmeric powers over
anyone, denied that he accompanied his
sister down town the day of the murder,
and said the revolver used in the killing
was not his. He knew of the murder
only atter it had been committed.
Thomas H. Ridge, the first witness, told
of the scene in the Ridge Building at the
time of the murder. He had come upon
the scene soon after a policeman arrived.
Mrs. Kennedy had requested the officer
to loose his hold on her hands, the doctor
had said Kennedy was dead, and then
Mrs. Kennedy, stepping to the prostrate
form, had kicked him in the side of the
head and remarked: "He'll never seduce
another girl."
Through T. J. Noble, the defense en
deavored to prove that the time of the
murder as set by the stag's witnesses
was Incorrect, but his statements in that
respect did not differ materially from the
evidence already adduced.
Will Prince then took the stand. He
is a prepossessing man of 30. He re
sembles his sister in features, and looked
at her constantly while giving his evi
dence. He kissed his mother and mar
ried sister, Mrs. Leon, as he passed them
and patted the prisoner on the shoulder.
Will Prince, according to a theory of
the prosecution, was a professional mes
merist, and In nerving her up to- commit
the murder of Kennedy, exercised his
hypnotic power over Mrs. Kennedy.
Prince denied that he was a mesmerist
or that he ever mesmerized 'a person, and
said he had never been a prizefighter, as
had been alleged. Prince detailed his
whereabouts on the day of the murder.
He had been with his patent attorneys
during the morning, he said, talking over
a patent that he Intended placing on the
market, and went home about noon, re
maining there until 3:30. when he returned
to town alone. He went to his father's
place of business, and at 4 o'clock Mrs.
Kennedy followed. He denied having ac
companied Mrs. Kennedy to town a few
hours before the murder, when she was
supposed to have been en route to Ken
nedy's office.
The state tried to show that Prince left
homo with his sister on the afternoon of
the murder, furnishing her with a revol
ver en route and Instructing her In what
sho should do when she went to her hus
band's office.
Prince testified to leaving his father's
place of business at 5:20, and going to the
Ridge Building, where, attracted by a wo
man's screams, he went to the second
floor and saw a man choking his sister.
He had thought the man was Philip Ken
nedy, but found he was the latter's
brother, and left the scene. Prince, con
tinuing, told of his sister's condition after
the forced marriage to Kennedy, when he
had refused to live with her. She was
despondent, he said, and confined herself
to her room, refusing to eat or to talk
with any one.
On cross-examination, a letter written
by the witness to the defendant In June,
1S00. was introduced, and Prince was asked
what he meant when he wrote that he
was worried over Lulu's conduct. He
said it was becayAiras sad and
dispirited. He didM?KflShat she was

ne had admitted he had received from
Miss Burt, and which has been identified,
since its return, by a Smith College stu
dent as ler property. The 11 counts In the

ceny of property to the approximate val
ue of J2000.
OUTLAWS FRUSTRATED.
Attempt to Blow Up a Bridge on the
Union Pacific.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 11. What
was undoubtedly a bold attempt to blow
up a bridge and rob an express train on
the Union Pacific was frustrated last
night near Green River, and officers are
now on the track of the outlaws. Last

cached near a railroad bridge. The au
thorities were notified and the explosive
was removed and a watch kept on the
place. Last night two men, well mounted
and heavily armed, rode Into the ravine
and went to the spot where the dynamite
was found. When they discovered that
the explosive had been removed they
quickly mounted thefr horses and fled to
the hills, the officers being unable, to in
tercept them. The Union Pacific has been
OUEUOXiA, WMrNESDAY,
on the watch for trainrobbers along the
Wyoming division for some time, and
guards have been Tiding on the express
cars of all passenger trains between

atoms.
YoHng Hartman's Career.
NEW YORK, June l Regarding the
Identity of Louis Hartman, who killed
"Rose VIolette," and then committed sui
cide at the Great Northern Hotel in Chi
cago, the Times says:
"About a year ago young Louis Hart
man developed a tumor of the brain,
and wtfs placed for a time In a sanita
rium. He was discharged from the hos
pital about four months ago, and since
that time had been working for his father.
A little less than a month ago he met his
wife, whom he had married after a brief
acquaintance, and who was said to be a
Russian, and renewed his relations with
her. The elder Hartman learned of the
fresh outbreak of Infatuation and tried
to persuade his son to leave her. Two
weeks ago young Hartman and his wife
went to Reading, Pa., but the father fol
lowed and brought his son back to the
city. A week ago Sunday the young man
once more disappeared and his parent
traced him to a boarding-house in this
city. Mr. Hartman called on the young
woman, who was found at the
house, and had a long talk with
her, in the course of which she as
sured him that his son was not there, and
said she had not seen him. Mr. Hart
man left after threatening her with ar
rest if it should appear that she had de
ceived him, and the same night he set
a watch on the house. Young Hartman
and his wife eluded the sentinel that night
and left the city. The father traced them
to several cities, but failed to find them."

Northcott. The question of admitting
Chicago and five other large cities, that
are now excluded from membership in the
order, was precipitated by an amendment
to the laws committee, presented by Dele,
gate Aleshire, but a decision was not ar
rived at. This Question took up most of
the afternoon session, and was fully dis
cussed. J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, led the
opposition, and argued that if the larger
cities were admitted they would roon get
the machinery of the order into their own
hands and could In a few years control

cial order for 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and indications point to the defeat of
the proposition for admission. A resolu-
tion was adopted, providing that each
state shah hereafter be entitled to a head
j physician. At the meeting two years ago
several 01 tne states were grouped under
the supervision of a head physician, but
it was claimed that this did not work
well. A resolution admitting Indians to
membership in the order was offered by
delegates from Oklahoma and referred to
a committee.
Welcomes and responses and prellml.
J nary routine in the appointment of com
mittees took up the morning session.
Governor Van Sant. of Minnesota: Lieutenant-Governor
Northcott, of Illinois;
Mayor Smith, of St. Paul, and others
participated in the opening ceremonies
and greetings. The reports of the Wood
men head officers show a net gain of 211,
370 in new members since the meeting of
two years ago. carrying total insurance
of $34S,560,OO0. During the two years .'362
new local camps were organized. In his
opening address Consul Northcott said:
"This rapid growth has never been
equaled by any fraternal society or life
insurance order in the world's history.
Wo have CSO.CO members, ard 9700 local
lodges. We are maintaining Insurance on
lives of members today in the aggregate
sum of $1,025,000,000, and we have more
policy-holders than the largest regular
life insurance company in the United
States."
The report of Major C. W. Hawos,, grand
secretary. s.hows that up to June 1 the so
ciety had paid a total of 11,340 death
claims, the aggregate disbursement for
such purpose being $22,000,000. The aver
age annual cost to the members for their
insurance had been $4 95 per $1000. At the
close of the biennial term 72.6 per cent of
the members were paying more than the
cost of their insurance in the average
amount of 6 cents per assessment le.cs
than cost, indicating need of revision of
rates of assessment. The receipts of the
society from all sources during the term
aggregated $8,635,930, Of this amount
$7,770,9S8 was received in the mortuary
fund and $1,064,942 in the general fund.
Other official reports submitted were
those of the board of directors, head
banker, medical department, general at
torney, board of auditors, appeals and
grievance committee, committee on ritual
and editor of official paper.
Judge R. H. Lovett, of Peoria, the only
opponent to the re-election of Head Con
sul W. A. Northcott, today announced h'.s
withdrawal. This , makes the rp-electlon
of Major Northcdtt a certainty.
SHRINERS AT KANSAS CITY.
Opening of the TTventy-scventh Na
tional Meeting of Nobles.
KANSAS CITY. Mo., June 11. Not since
the Democratic National Convention have
so many visitors from all parts of tho
United States been in Kansas City as are
gathered here to attend the 27th National
meeting of the Nobles of the Mystic
Shrine, and gorgeously appareled Arabs
have Illuminated the streets all day.
With morning and night parades, a ses
sion of the imperial council and sight
seeing, the Shriners have spent an ex
ceedingly busy day. The imperial officers
were escorted from the Hotel Baltimore
to the Standard Theater this morning by
all the uniformed Shriners and a large
number in carriages. After the welcom
ing speeches at the theater, all but dele
gates were excluded, and the council en
tered upon Its business, considering re
ports of officers and committees. The ses
sion adjourned at 1 P. M., until 9 o'clock
tomorrow morning, when officers and the
next place of meeting will be chosen.
The downtown streets were given over
tonight to brass bands and marching
Shriners In brilliant Oriental costumes,
with an- accompaniment of fireworks and
the booming of mortars. The splendor of
the costumes of the Arab patrols was en
hanced by the electric lights and by the
pyrotechnics set off by the Topcka Flam
beau Club, which led the procession.
Ararat Temple, of this city, furnished one
of the most attractive features of the
parade. Twenty-four of Its members, who
are connected with the Livestock Ex
change, were organized as a mounted pa.
trol. They wore turbans and flowing
robes of yellow and white, and were
mounted on jet back steeds and armed
with long spears. The regular patrol of
Ararat Temple was garbed In velvet,
satin and fine cloth. The other organiza
tions were no lc?s brilliantly arrayed in
purple and scarlet, chrome yellow and
ultramarine blue, and all the extreme
tints In the category of colors were seen.
Some of the bst bands In the country
were in the procession, and the strains of
martial music were continuous.
A unique feature of the parade was the
Indian Temple patrol, from Oklahoma
City, which indulged in typical Indian
war dances at regular intervals. The
Zuhroh Temple patrol, from Minneapolis,
was also in special favor with the crowds.
Perhaps the most picturesque division of
the pageant was the mounted patrol from
Washington, D. C This patrol, each
member of which wore the costume of
an Arab sheik, belongs to the Almas
Temple. The Aladdin patrol, from Colum
bus. 0., was brilliantly costumed, and
was a general favorite. Next was the
patrol of Medinah Temple, from Chicago,
with 24 men, whose marching tactics
aroused much Interest. A gorgeous patrol'
was that of the Moolah Temple, from St.
Louis. The Abdaliah Temple, of Leavl
enworth. consisted of 40 men, and their
costumes were wonderful. The men wore
long coats mnde of goods of Persian de
sign, and wore turbans on their heads.
Ahead of them was the executive of the
temple, a big-bearded man with a cutlass
on his shoulder.
The head of the parade reached Con
vention Hall at 10 o'clock. The Arab pa
trols, each company headed by a band,
passed In at the main entrance at the
south end of tho building. The entire
arena floor was set apart for the maneu
vers of the patrols, and after an exhibi
tion of fancy drilling they marched out
through the north end of the building.
The seating capacity of the hall, In the
boxes and In the balconies and the space
in the roof garden was reserved for
women. No men were admitted, other
than those having to do with the manage
ment of the entertainment.

AMERICAN SAMOA.
Commander Tilley Proud of the
Inlander Lmlcr His Rule.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 11. Commander
B. F. Tilley, Uniteo uUtes Navy, uover
nor of the United States possessions in
Samoa, arrived today on the steamer Ven
tura trom i'ango .r'anjju. Governor Tilley
has returned to this country 0:1 a leave
of absence. Atter a two days" visit in
tnis city he will go to Washington. Dis
cussing conditions In Samoa, Governor
Tilley said:
"Tne natives are now docile and con
tented. When I was boaiu.ng the Ven
tura they gave me a 'sieva,' or &umoan
charivari, to show tneir good wJ... "ien
gir.s and ten mon lolloped t.ie boa.
singing and making music by beating
mats witn sticks. A great many farewe.l
tokens were prttsed upjn rne. but tne
customs oliiceis ucmand dmy on them,
and the presents were ha.u.y worth the
expense.
"We have permitted the natives to fol
low their own customs when tncy were
not pernicious. It was necessary to re
form their code regu.ntln;? marriage and
divorce. The uniqjcs.o3 01 tne i.uiiul
tlons and the rciuoteiuus from higher
authority compV.IIcu me to act the jai t
of a supreme law-giver as well as that
of an executive officer. We issued or
dinances lorb.ddlng the transfer of real
property to wii:tes by natives and regu
lating contracts between natives and
whites. Tne ordinances were neccssmy
for the piotcction of the natives and
the general laws of the United States do
not fit the conditions in the islands.
"The possessions are divided into coun
ties, each governed by a native officer
appointed by the American commander.
This system has pleased the Sampans.
Recently the chiefs at Fago Togo offered
the waterfront land to the city govern
ment at a reasonable price, and announced
that they wou.d build a Presbyterian
Church with the money. The London
mission works among them. All the
natives are Christians and extremely re
ligious, although their morals are not
quite up to the standard. They go to
church every day and always say grace
before meals.
"Peace was what the islanders needed.
They had been warring perpetually, and
the warfare Interfered with" production.
The soil voluntarily yields bread, fruit,
cocoanuts and everything the Samoans
require to eat, and there is really no
more reason why they should work. It
Is not surprising, therefore, that thoy
are inclined to idleness. Under the
American stimulus the product of our
possess'ons ought to double within a
year or two. The area of plantations
is increasing. Copra Is the principal pro
duct, although the cocoa and tobacco
crops arc worth notice. The white popu
lation of American Samoa Is about 110
all told.
"Evidence of the docility of the natives
is the fact that recently they raised a
tax levy of $7500. paid In copra, to de
fray the cost of the native part of the
government.
"The Samoans are not permitted to have
whisky, but they do not like It anyway,
and there Is no trouble keeping them
sober. They are a brave, warlike people,
quite the finest 'natives' I have ever seen.
Our government ought, if possible, to
preserve the race from admixture. We
have enlisted 48 Samoans In the navy as
landsmen, ordinary seamen, seamen and
petty officers. They are kept ashore and
are the military force of the Island. They
are wonderfully proud of the uniforms
and felt like magnlficos with rifles in their
grasp. They take to firearms like ducks
to water, and rapidly become experts in
the school of the soldfer. An enlisted
Samcan drawing $16, $20 or $30 In Ameri
can money Is a tremendous swell among
the natives. He makes a. good soldier,
fighting being the Samoan specialty.
"I don't think the commerce of tho
islands will ever amount to a great deal.
The chief value of the Islands to this
country Is the great harbor, which is pro
tected against hurricanes and can easily
be made secure against an enemy. Con
gress has passed an appropriation to en
able us to enlarge the coal storage capac
ity of the harbor to 10,000 tons, enough to
coal a fleet. The harbor is 2000 miles from
Honolulu, 1600 from Auckland and about
2000 from Sydney. German Samoa Is
doing weil under Governor Solf. a broad
minded man. Lieutenant-Commander
Born is now in command at Samoa."

WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder rem
edy, fulfills every wish In curing rheuma
tism, pain In the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. It corrects Inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it. or
bad effects following use of liquor, wine
or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up mnny times
during the night. The mild and the ex
traordinary effect of Swamp-Root la soon
realized. It stands the highest for Its
wonderful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you should
have the best. So.d by druggists in 50-cent
