SAVAGE TELLS HIS STORY
HAD ICO PART IX THE DIA3IOXD
ROBBEItY, HE SAYS.
He Went to Denver to See His Sick
Mother Pliriitclnns Say Sue
Was Sick.
The Savage diamond robbery case -will
be submitted to the jury today. Savage
took the stand In his own behalf yester
day afternoon, and denied having had
anything whatever to do with the crime.
The theory advanced by the defense Is
that .Kelly Wiley stole the diamonds, and
that True Johnson was an accomplice;
and that others assisted who have- not
yet been discovered. It Is contended that
True Johnson has succeeded In making
an arrangement -with the authorities
whereby she Is to escape punishment as
a reward for her evidence In the case
against Savage, and also that Kelly WHey
pleaded gullry to the diamond Tobbery
charge and testified against Savage be
cause he escaped punishment on various
burglary charges. Counsel for the de
fendant in his argument to the Jury
called attention to the fact that Savage
had none of the diamonds when he "was
arrested, and that none of them were ever
traced to him. He asserted that Savage
never saw any of the diamonds, and that
Sirs. Johnson got all of them. Atten
tion was called to the evidence concern
ing a whtte man, said to be a drummer,
who was a visitor at Sirs. Johnson's
liouse on the night she admitted having
received the Jewels. The attorney for
Savage argued that tbis man, whose name
was carefully kept out of the case by
the Plnkerlon detectives and counsel lor
the state, perhaps had a hand In the af
fair. Testimony was introduced to show that
Savage left Portland five days after the
robbery, and went to Denver because his
mother -was very sick at that place. A
telegram, received by him to that effect,
was submitted in evidence, and also the
depositions of three physicians in Den
ver, stating that Savage's mother was
seriously ill last November and December,
and that Savage came there and waited
upon her, remaining two weeks. It was
shown that Mrs. Savage was attended al
together by four doctors. Heretofore it
has been supposed all along that the ex
cuse made by Savage when he hurriedly
left his position in the hotel and went to
Colorado that his mother was slcks-was
is. mere pretext. Consequently the testi
mony of reliable witnesses, doctors P. D.
Rockwell, J. W. McDanlel and C. Hocket,
that she really was suffering from a
6evere illness and that Savage did come
to her bedside, came as a complete sur
prise. Evidence was also introduced showing
that a personal item was published -when
Savage left here stating -where he was
going, showing that there was no attempt
upon his part to conceal anything,.
Savage testified brlelly. He said ihe did
not steal the diamonds, never saw them,
and that ho was not at the Portland Hotel
on the night they were stolen. He in
variably referred to the woman IPranklo
Savage, or Thomas, supposed to be his
wife, as Mrs. Thomas, and said that he
is not married. She is jointly charged
with Savage. He admitted that he and
Kelly Wiley, Mrs. Savage, and Bertha
Glenn played cards together on the night
of the robbery, but denied that he went
to the hotel accompanied by Wiley about
10 o'clock. He said the only place they
went together was to True Johnson's home
about 11 o'clock. There was a white man
there, who True said was a drummer.
Savage said he has been acquainted with
Wiley for about 10 years, and that they
came to Portland together In August, 190L
Savage further stated that he worked at
the Portland Hotel the day following the
robbery, and for several days thereafter.
He denied that he has ever been con
victed of a crime.
A. Liowenthal, victim of the robbery, tes
tified that the diamonds were insured for
$15,009, and also that the Protective Asso
ciation, of which he was a member, em
ployed and paid the Plnkerton Detective
Agency to run down such cases and make
arrests.
Counsel for the defendant endeavored
to make it appear that the detective
agency desired to convict Sax-age for no
toriety and to have the fact heralded
over the .country.
The cross-examination of True Johnson
was completed yesterday morning. She
said she was drawn into the case for the
reason that she would do anything for a
friend. She knew it was not right, and
supposed the property was stolen, but the
Savages were friends; so said she agreed
to assist them. She said she took some of
the jewels, as they told her she could
take what she wanted and explained how
she hid them In her hat and- otherwise on
the way to Omaha.
Most of the diamonds have not yet been
recovered, and what became of them is a
mystery. None of them were found on Sav
age when he was arrested, nor on Frankie
Thomas. Mrs. Johnson said she left a lot
cf them In a lamp in her house -when she
departed for the East Frankle Thomas
left several days after Mrs. Johnson, and
is presumed to have secured the diamonds
in the lamp, but there is no evidence of
that kind, and besides Mrs. Johnson said
she did not leave a key to her house in
the possession of Frankle Thomas. She
testified that there were only two keys
to the door, and she took one of them
-with her v.-hen she went to Omaha, and
gave the other to her friend Mr. Collins
The closing speeches will be made this
morning, after which Judge Frazer will
charge the jury.
NEEDS TEETH IN HIS TRADE.
Carious Claim Presented to Court In
Daxnagre Suit.
In arguing before Judge Sears against
a motion to strike out part of the com
" plaint in the damage suit of A. J. Delano
against W. S. Drake, a dentist, John
Dltchburn yesterday explained that it was
necessary for Delano to use his teeth
in prosecuting his trade that of an up
holsterer. Mr. Dltchburn was enlighten
ing the court in regard to a portion of
the. complaint-setting forth that, because
Delano suffered from an alleged unsuc
cessful operation to two of his teeth
by Dr. Drake, he was unable to work.
Counsel said plaintiff was entitled to re
cover damages for the time lost. Mr.
Dltchburn said:,
"You see, your honor. It was necessary
for Mr. Delano to put tacks In his mouth,
and he was unable to do so, and had to
hire another man to do his tacking so
he lost time." '
Judge Sears took the matter under
advisement, as well as a motion to make
the complaint more definite and certain,
so as to show how a physical Injury can
affect the mind.
Second Trial Begins.
The second trial of the damage suit of
Charles G. Adams agalhs't the City &
Suburban Railway Company, was begun
before Judge Cleland and a jury yester
day, and will be concluded today. Adams
complains that, while he was crossing
Morrison street on Tenth, driving a
butcher cart, he was run into by a car,
and conslderablj Injured. He also alleges
that the cart was demolished. He asks
for $1800 damages. The defense was that
Adams was to blame for the accident.
The verdict rendered In the case at the
time of the former trial was set aside by
Judge Cleland.
Mrs. Gnj'a Complaint.
Dorothea M. Gay yesterday began suit
against Willis B. Gay In the State Circuit
Court for a divorce. She also asks for
alimony for the support of herself and
child She says the defendant owns
$0 acres of land, and also personal proper
ty. Mrs. Gay alleges that they were mar
ried at Redwood City, Cal., in Septemper,
1S95. She complains that her husband pos-
sesses a violent temper, and charges that
he choked her In February, 1902, and
also twice In April following. She fur
ther states that he frequently cursed and
threatened her, and she is afraid that he
will kill her, and is afraid to live with
him. She has a child by a former mar
riage, which she asserts he has mis
treated. She asks to be restored to her
former name. Holm.

STEAMSHIP KORONA, WHICH CARRIED ST. PIERRE SURVIV
ORS TO FORT DE FRANCE.
The steamship Korona. frequently mentioned in the press dispatches
as carrying the survivors of the St. Pierre catastrophe to Fort de France,
Is a -well-known vessel in Portland, having sailed from this port for many
years as the steamship Monmouthshire. She was for a -number of years
the fastest and best-equipped steamer running between Portland and the
Orient, and retired from that sen-Ice a little over a year ago. She
steamed out of Portland harbor on her farewell voyage In April, 1901.
going to St. Vincent for orders with a cargo of wheat. At that time she
was in command of Captain John Kennedy, who left here a few months
ago with the new steamship Pembrokeshire. Before reaching Europe
the Monmouthshire was sold for a West Indian fruiter, and soon after
changing owners she -was rechrlstencd the Korona. The Monmouthshire
was always a lucky ship, and her luck has apparently not changed with
her name, as she was due at St. Pierre the day after the terrible disaster,
Instead of the day before.
Their cases will be inquired Into by the
nea.t United States grand Jury.
WORK ON NEW BUILDINGS
Graders, Stonemasons and Carpen
ters All Arc Running;.
The work of laying the stone founda
tion for the Welnhard building at
Fourth and Alder was commenced yes
terday afternoon, although the excavat
ing Is not yet entirely completed. The
contractor. George Langford, Is In a hurry
to push the work along, and has been
concreting the trenches for the subfoun
datlons as fast as they were completed,
and while the men arc still excavating,
the concreting gang follows them up,
and now the stone masons are at work.
So tho excavating, concreting and stone
work are all going on at the same time.

no foundations or walls to be built on
those sides. Three entrances to the base
ment of the building will be constructed
through the sidewalk, as the ground
floor Is to be divided into three stores, t o
fronting on Salmon street and one on
Third.
The work of grading the Patton prop
erty at Third and Madison Is not yet
completed, and the old building on the
corner must be moved to the south some
50 or 00 feet before work can be com
menced on the excavation for the build

Captain McMIUen, Veteran ot Cay
use "War, Is 70 Years Old.
The 79th birthday of Captain J. H. Mc
MIUen, a prominent pioneer and Indian
war veterans, was celebrated at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Glover, on Crosby
street, Saturday night. Arrangements for
the event were kept a secret from Captain
McMIUen, so that when he and his wife
went over to the home of their daughter
he was greatly, but agreeably, surprised
to find the cause of the, invitation to call.
The evening was pleasantly and happily
spent, and the pioneer received, many
hearty congratulations and expressions ot
good will.
Captain MoMillcn was among the first
to respond to the call of Governor Aber
nethy for volunteers to serve In the Cay
use war of 1847-48. He was employed In
the flour mill of Governor Abernethy
when the call was issued, doing work that
no other man could do so well as he. It
was desired to raise a company, and there
were several other young men who were
awaiting his action. He asked Governor
Abernethy If he could be spared, and the
Governor replied that he would try and
get along without him, whereupon Cap
tain MdMillen enlisted, and his example
was quickly followed by others. The offi
cial records show that he served as first
duty sergeant In 1847-48. Captain McMIUen
lives in his beautiful home on Crosby
street, one of the host preserved and most
interesting pioneers of Oregon now living
He takes a deep Interest in the welfare of
all the pioneers. He Is the treasurer- of
the Lone Fir Monument Association,
which will devote one side of the shaft to
the memory of the Indian war veterans.
He was one of the largest contributors
to the monument fund.
FRUIT EAST OF SANDY.
Fred Smith. Never Saw Prune Crop
Ijooklnsr More Promlslngf.
Fred Smith, a well-known fruit-grower
from east of the Sandy River, was In the
city yesterday, and he remarked that the
fruit In that part of the county never
looked better than at present. He has
a large acreage In prunes, and the or
chard In an east slope. The long rows
stretch for half a mile east and west.
While In bloom it was the most beautiful
combination of colors imaginable. On ex
amination, Mr. Smith says, he found the
young prunes were forming, and very few
of the blooms were dropping off. The
other orchards of that district are equally
promising.
In the matter of roads, which the coun
try east of the Sandy River stands In
need, Mr.- Smith says much work Is be
ing done. The district hopes to elect Tom
Evans as Road Supervisor. He has served
In that capacity before, with satisfactory
results, and there seems to be a general
desire that he should be continued.
STRICKEN WITH TYPHOID.
Gene Gellnsky Dead and Other Ckil
dren Seriously III.
Eugene Gellnsky, the eldest son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. Gellnsky, died yesterday aft
ernoon at his home, 3S2 East Taylor street,
of typhoid fever. For several days his
condition had been such that his recovery
was not considered possible. Eugene was
tho oldest son of the family. He was a
popular young man, had Uvea on the East
Side with his parents for the past 14
years, and has been associated -with his J
WKKtHOBIBffVWUm ':
father and two brothers, Walter and Emll,
In the meat market business under the
firm name of Gellnsky &, Sons.
All the other members of the family,
Walter, Emll and Margaret, are seriously
111 with typhoid fever, and have been sick
for some time. Emil's condition yesterday
was reported somewhat worse than that
of the others. Walter and Margaret seem
to be getting along fairly well. All are
well-known young people on the East Side.
"With her entire family dangerously ill,
Mrs. Gellnsky has had a very hard time.
MADISON BRIDGE APPROACH.
It Will Be Rebuilt Entirely Betvreeu
East "Water Street and First Span.
Repairs to the East Side approach of the
Madison bridge were begun yesterday
morning, under the direction of M. L.
Keath, Bridge Superintendent. It will be
necessary to remove the entire approach.
A few of the piles may be saved, but not
many. Practically the approach will have
to be regullt from East Water street to
the first bridge span. While the work is
going on there will be as little Interrup
tion of traffic, as possible. The Portland
City & Oregon Railroad cars will be car
ried on one track while tho repa'irs are
being made.
Traffic over the Madison and Morrison
bridges Is Increasing so that the East Side
streets leading to them will have to be
filled and a solid and permanent roadway
built. The railroad companies would do
their part in building an embankment, as
they have to make repairs to the sub
structure constantly.
East Side Notes.

EDITORS AT CHARLESTON
Members of the National Editorial
Association Visit Exposition.
CHARLESTON, May L (Special cor
respondencesThe members of the Na
tional Editorial Association reached
Charleston on tho morning of April 24, on
a special train from Hot Springs, Ark.,
where they had held their annual con
vention. The party was taken to the ex
position Immediately upon its arrival, and
took part In the exercises of the day. On
that day the State of Missouri and the
Louisiana Purchase Commission held a
joint celebration, and it was also "Ken
tucky day."
The National Editorial Association,
which Is composed of the leading editors
of the country, was brought to Charleston
through the efforts of Mra Edyth Tozier
Weatherred, the commissioner from Ore
gon. On the following day the members de
voted the time to sight-seeing. In the
morning they were piloted about the city
by Mrs. Weatherred, and saw the sights.
At 1 o'clock they were given a trip to
the Isle of Palms. The day was an ideal
one, and the trip across the bay was a
great treat to the Journalists. A stop was
made at Fort Moultrie to see Osceola's
'grave. At the Isle of Palms the visitors
spent a delightful hour strolling on the
beach and picking up shells. The salt
water looked so tempting that some of
them pulled off their shoes and stock
ings and went in wading. A number in
the party had seen the Pacific Ocean, but
never . the Atlantic.
On the return trip the scribes took pos
session of the boat and 'called a meet
ing on the upper deck, at which Mrs.
Weatherred was presented with a hand
some token as a mark of the esteem and
regard In which her fellow Journalists
hold her. Mra. Weatherred expressed her
thanks In an eloquent speech, In which
sne extolled the delights of Charleston
and the exposition.
On the return trip the party visited the
Woman's building at the exposition, and
were much Interested In its contents,
which they examined closely. Many of
them returned to their homes on that
evening, while others remained several
days longer In Charleston, so that they
might be able to see more of the city and
the exposition.
"Alaska Day" was observed at the Ex
position April 25. The usual formal exer
cises, with speech-making, were dispensed
with, and the many visitors were enter
tained by being shown through the ex
tensive exhibits of the Alaska Geograph
ical Society, which so creditably repre
sents Alaska.
The, society occupies two buildings, one
of which Is an exact reproduction of the
famous old log cabin Presbyterian Church
at Juneau. Alaska, and in It Is displayed
a remarkably Interesting school exhibit
from Juneau and Skagway. which was
awarded a silver medal at the Pan-American.
Public schools for white children
were denied Alaska for more than 30
years, and the work here shown by the
society Is the work of one afternoon ses
sion, unselectcd and uncorrected after the
schools had been in existence but for nine
months.
In another building opposite the old log
church the society exhibits the famous
Cralne Alaskan collection, the largest and
most valuable private collection that ever
came out of Alaska, and recognized as
one of the greatest attractions at the
three international expositions where it
was exhibited last year.
There are two carloads of specimens of
Alaska's animal life, tusks, skulls and
bones of mammoths and a multitude of
other relics of the glacial age. Indian
curios and rare old pieces of native work
manship and skill almost without num
ber. Ndarly every form of animal life
now existing In Alaska is represented in
the collection, while the assortment of
fossils and carved Ivory, costumes, imple
ments, Images, baskets and what nqt is
said to be one of the most valuable in
the United States. There Is what is
claimed to be the largest and finest speci
men of a pure white Polar bear In the
world. There are live Alaskan and Es
quimaux sledge dogs, that have made
single Journeys of more than 1000 miles
harnessed to a sled and 75 miles In a sin
gle day's drive of 13 hours. Mr. Cralne,
the proprietor of the collection, and Oscar
Jarvls, one of the most famous of Alas
kan guides, are In dally attendance, mak
ing the collection doubly interesting and
attractive to visitors by their descriptions
and demonstrations. They not only tell
how gold mining is done in Alaska and
the Klondike, but do it by throwing Into
sand And water genuine gold nuggets and
placer specimens and panning it out with
the typical gold pan used by miners anil
prospectors everywhere.

LAST CONCERT OF SERIES
PORTLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
MAKES A POPULAR HIT.
Does Brilliant Work Before an' En
thusiastic Audience Grand Finale
In "Wllllani Tell."
Before a brilliant and enthusiastic audi
ence, that comfortably filled the Marquam
Theater last night, the members of the
Portland Symphony Orchestra gave vthe
fifth and last of their series ot concerts
this season. The programme was so well
arranged and the orchestra played so con
scientiously and admirably that the con
cert was pronounced the best the Portland
Symphony Orchestra has yet given, even
in the three jears of its existence. This
has been the first season of the orchestra
under the capable direction of Edgar E.
Coursen, and he has swung it into the
path of popular approval and success.
Mrs. Walter Reed, contralto, was the so
loist last night, and sho was in splendid
voice, and met with a flattering reception.
The first number on the programme,
Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony," was
without doubt the most artistic, but It Is
of such a somber nature that it did not
prove a message to the crowd. Written
apparently -when the soul of Franz Peter
Schubert (1797-1823) was passing away to
the unknowable land, after a life of pov
erty and lack of worldly success, it is not
to be wondered at that Schubert's last
message has the tinge of deep sorrow.
Schubert's biographer says that the com
poser was seized with a sudden attack of
delirium after a period of ill-health, Octo
ber 13, 1S28, and that he died November
19 following, leaving behind him a few
clothes and other possessions valued at
about $12 20. It was when the shadow of
death was stealing over this unfortunate
Austrian composer that his hand faltered
after It had w'ritten only two movements
of the unfinished symphony, and death
stepped in before he could write the other
two. In trie allegro moderato, he has
written a fine 'cello lead, with curious
phrasing from the first violins. In the
andante con moto, the, theme Is a majes
tic, yet pastoral one, with declamatory
work for the brasses, and a theme for
tne oboe. The movement ends very ab
ruptly, however, and gives one the Im
pression of a broken pillar on which no
wreath of the victor hangs.
More cheerful, yet dainty, work was
heard In the ever-popular Intermezzo from
Mascgnl's "Cavalleria Rustlcana." The
opening theme given out by the strings was
ac lovely and enthralling as ever In double
piano, and the accented work for first
and second violins was a treat. Handel's
"Largo," popular as an organ solo and
known to the peoples of all creeds for its
grand, dignified religious feeling, was fine
ly played, and the crescendo leading from
soft piano was artistic.
Warm, lively harmonies, with the be
w'ltchlng music of the violins and rattle
of the tambourine and castanets, with the
echo of merry dancers' feet In pulsating
waltz, formed a fitting ensemble in
Moszkowskl's "From Foreign Parts." The
orchestra played with a joyousness and
abandon that was captivating, and this
selection was applauded so persistently
that an encore had to be given. The
dreamiest, loveliest number' was Tschal
kowsky's "Andante Cantlble," for strings
only. The measure has a curious charm
over one. The two Hungarian dances
were noteworthy, because of the wild,
barbaric music, and the musiclanly work
cf the kettle drums.
The most enjoyable and best-played
number was Rossini's famous overture to
"William Tell," known from the airs
played by numerous brass bands and or
ganists, yea and street organs, too. The
attention of the audience was directed to
this captivating music from the moment
of the first "cello lead. Then came the
lovely oboe solo, the crash of the drums,
and ultimately the supreme moment, when
the trombone players feel that their time
to shine ha arrived. The finale was beau
tifully worked up, and Mr. Coursen kept
his forces well In hand until the final
chords crashed Into a fortissimo of tri
umph. Mrs. Walter Reed looked charming In a
dark lace gown, and she performed the
feat of singing four numbers and one en
core from memory, and never missing a
single word or phrase. Mr. Coursen showed
his versatility as accompanist, and played
with a rare, delicate touch and fine ex
pression. Mrs. Reed surpassed herself In
her treatment of Henschel's "Shouggle
Shou, Ma Balrnle," and her dainty vocal
work In the old French song, "llaman
Dltes Moi." The gem of her selections,
however, was a new song, written by Mrs.
Carrie Jacobs-Bond, of Chicago, entitled
"Shadows." This " composer writes her
words and music and then sings her songs,
and the result Is remarkable. Mrs. Reed
used her lower register with charming
'ffect, at one time reaching F sharp, be
low the staff. Of course, she was encored,
and showered with roses, and she kindly
added Nevll's "Mighty Lak' a Rose."
The members of the orchestra who
played are: First violin, Reginald L. Hid
den, Frank Grlftin, Mrs. Sherman D.
Brown, Carl Denton, Mrs. John Pipes,
