SMITH "MUST HANG
New Trial Refused to Negro
Murderer.
THERE HAY BE DOUBLE EVENT.
Jadfre George DIsroses of Plcnii of
Defense for Xew Trial Scaffold
Is Ready and Smith May
Die Beside Beldlngr.
The death sentence will be pronounced
by Judge George Wednesday upon Geprge
Smith, th"e negro, who . killed his white
wife. Annie Smith. The. motion for a new
trial was denied by the court yesterday
morning.
Judge George, in denying the motion, re
viewed the evidence thoroughly, and con
Mimed about three-qusrters of an hour In
so doing, and stated that the counsel for
the defendant had a misconception in
many Instances of what the testimony
really was, that the court In Its rulings
was more than lenient td the" prisoner.
The evidence of Detective Snow was first
referred to. The court said he had looked
oyer the record and ascertained that Snow
3iad been granted permission to give what
testimony he could regarding threats made
"by "Kansas" against Smith, and had not
been prevented from so doing.
The question of newly discovered evi
dence was next -touched upon, and Judge
George said that the Supreme Court of
the state recently rendered a decision that
a, new trial cannot be granted upon newly
discovered evidence of an impeaching na
ture. "It was urged," said Judge George,
"ihat there was no motive for the crime,
. yet Smith admitted having killed his wife
to the Chief of Police."
Concerning the sickness of the juror,
ChaunceyBall, tie count said Ball was not
so sick as to be -unable to attend the trial.
The affidavit of John Landlgan that he
agreed to a verdict of .guilty of murder in
the first degree because he did not wish
to detain Mr. Ball longer In the juryroom.
the court held, was overcome by the affi
davits o other Jurors. The self-defenne
plea. Judge George stated, was an after
thought on the part of Smith. He said
nothing about it in the first place, when
Le confessed to the Chief of Police.
According to law, 30 days must elapse
between the time of sentence and the day
of execution. Charles A. Petrain, attor
ney for Smith, has not yet decided if he
will cppeal to the Supreme Court. The
scaffold for the hanging of Bclding is now
in place, and contains two traps. Sheriff
Storey would like, if possible, to hang the
.two men on the same day.
BECAUSE CAR WEST AHEAD.
Sirs. IVolf Trie! -to Prove Husband's
Death "Was Due .to Carelessness.
The suit of Mollie Wolf against the City
& Suburban Hallway Company to recover
$5000 damages because her husband, Isaac
"Wolf, was run over and killed by a car at
First and Mill streets, on August 2G, -a02,
was tried before Judge Cleland yesterday.
The cae was submitted to the Jury at 5
o'clock in the afternoon, with instructions
to return a" sealed verdict.
The contention of the plaintiff Was that
the car, which was in charge of Motorman
C. F. Larson, was run in a reckle.s man
ner, at a rapid rate of speed, and that
the motorman saw Wolf when he was at
least 100 feet away, and when he had
started to cross in front of the car, and
that, had the motorman been careful, he
could have stopped the car in time, and
the accident would not have occurred.
Lawson testified to the contrary. "He
admitted that when he first observed
Wolf starting to cross the street Wolf was
some distance from the car, and said he
put on the brakes, and slowed down and
also rang the gong. He. said Wolf stopped
and looked up at him, and, thinking
Wolf Intended to wait until the car had
passed, he loosened the brake and pro
ceeded to go ahead, when Wolf suddenly
started to run in front of the car. and
was struck by the car before it could be
Etopped. .
Mrs. Gardner, of Fulton, and Mrs. Park,
passengers on the car, corroborated this
evidence, to the effect that the gong was
rung, and the speed of the car slackened,
end that It was then started up again.
For the plaintiff, R. O. Gllllland, for
merly a motorman for the Portland Rail
way Company, testified that with a dry
track an electric car can be stopped by
reversing or with the brake, if the latter
is In first-class order, .within its length
when the car is going at a speed of six
miles an hour. On cross-examination the
witness stated that he lost his -place as
motorman because he was president of the
union.
William S. Hunter, a former motorman,
gave like testimony, and said a car going
eight to ten miles an hour can be stopped
in a length and a. half.
Wolf, besides a wife, loft several children
surviving him. He was 61 years old at
the time of his death. Bernstein & Cohen
appeared as attorneys for Mrs. Wolf and
John M. Gearln for the defense.

pole against the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company was begun before United

FRUITMEN TO COMBINE
MULTXOMAKNGItOWERS "WILL COM
PLETE THEIR L'XIOX.
Movement . Begun Mn Sprinjr Gains
Headway Chief Want Is Market
House in Portland.
The directors of the Multnomah Fruit
growers' Association have fixed the time
fox holding the Fnll meeting Saturday
afternoon,' November 22, In Odd Fellows'
Hall, Grand avenue. H. C. Welch, of
Mount Tabor, Is president. He Is anxious
thafthere should be a large attendance of
the fruitralsers In the vicinity of Port
land, so that a vigorous, effective union
may be formed. At present there is but
a preliminary organization, which was
started last Spring. It was too late in
the season to go ahead with the union,
owing to the fact that the farmers were
too busy with their crops to attend the
meetings. An association was then
formed r;nd incorporated, with a nominal
capital .stock of $100, with the intention of
again taking up the work in the Fall,
when the farmers would have time to at
tend the meetings, and hence the time
was fixed for the afternoon of the 22d.
Mr. W2lch makes an urgent request that
every fruitgrower who sells his berries In
Portland attend this gathering and sup
port the effort to form a union. The con
stitutions of the Hood River Association
arid several fruit associations of Califor
nia have been secured; also considerable
data has been gathered as to their meth
ods of doing business. Armed with all
this, the- promoters of this movement
hope to form a union of growers who
market their produce in Portland that will
be highly beneficial to them, to the con
sumers and to the canneries.
M. J.'Magoon. of Gravel Hill, said yes
terday: "I regard this as a highly Impor
tant movement, and It should succeed. We
want several things which I am satisfied
we growers can never get until we have a
strong union. We want a market-place
In Portland, so we will not have to stand
on the streets. So far the growers have
failed to organize, but now they will-have
another opportunity, and It will depend
entirely on them whether It will go or not.
If they will turn out and support the ef
fort, it Is sure to succeed, but If they do
as they have done In the past, it will have
to be dropped for all time."
Every fruitgrower Interviewed on the
subject expresses himself favorably to a
union, but a considerable number are hold
ing back, fearing there may be a repetition
of the old union, which proved a failure.
However, President Welch says that if 75
per cent of the growers will come into the
new movement it will succeed. That num
ber will be sufficient to control the mar
ket, secure rates for boxes and have a
potent Influence in getting a market-place
at some central point In Portland.

Piles Xovr Being: Driven on Bis DocU
for Mount Scott Line.
The freight dock and house of the Ore
gon Water Power & Railway Company
at the east approach to the Madison-street
bridge have been completed and were
occupied yesterday. Assistant Superin
tendent Fields has his office in the freight
house. Tracks arc laid on each side of
the building, and freight Is handled di
rectly to the cars through the sliding
doors.
There are three car tracks on the dock.
These extend to the outer edge, and all
three will swing around north to Inman,
Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill. Piles are being
driven, and they will be extended as the
trestle Is finished. Two drivers are at
work. One is driving southward from
the outer edge of the freight dock, and
the other has started at the lumber dock
of the sawmill, and will work northward.
On the outer row of plies the tracks will
be laid.
For the whole dock 1000 piles will be
used, as the dock will extend from the
Madlson-strect bridge approach to the
sawmill dock. The tracks following the
outer edge of the big dock bring all the
lines of the company Into touch with the
water front.
At the southeast corner of the terminal
grounds there Is a switch connecting with
the Southern Pacific Railway. Cars load
ed with construction material are trans
ferred to the electric line and pujled out
to Mount Scott and there unloaded. This
greatly facilitates handling of material.
Eight cars with a grading outfit were sent
out last week. The gauge of the electric
and Southern Pacific lines Is the same,
which is very convenient.

RICH STRIKES AT NOME.
Several Creeks Show Up Well Late
In the Season.
Mr. W. H. Lang, resident of this city at
701 Everett street, has returned from
Nome, Alaska, having come on the Ohio.
He reports many rich strikes -in the Nome
district during the sehson, notably on
Hastings, Pceluk and Oregon Creeks.
These strikes were made late in the
season. Mr. Lang is interested on all
three creeks and has accomplished suffi
cient development work this season to
begin active operations In the Spring. On
one of the Oregon Creek bench claims. Mr.
Lang took out one nugget weighing $2S,
and on Peeluk what little ground he was
able to work out before the season closed,
produced $1.50 to the cubic yard from the
surface down. Peeluk Is a small creek
putting into Behrlng Sea between Nome
and the barracks at the mouth of Nome
River three miles east of Nome. Thou
sands of pedestrians have walked over
the very ground where ,Mr. Lang's cabin
is situated and where two men with a
force of miners" washed out $25,000 in 2G
days this season.
Hastings Creek is one of the new dis
coveries of this season and Mr. Lang's
most prominent claim is on this creek.
Hl3 Interests In the Nome district are
large and very valuable. They are sit
uated on Dexter, Bourbon, Anvil, Hast
ings, Dry, Newton and Oregon Creeks,
all of which have showed very rich re
sults of this season's development. Mr.
Lang exhibits some fine samples of nug
gets and dust from several of his claims,
most of which samples assay $19 to the
ounce. His associates are J. W. Belleyue,
of Boston, Mass., and Dr. S. S. Craig,
of Wisconsin.
Mr. Lang reports that the failure of
Portland's business men to secure the
steamship Indiana for the home-coming
of a large number of Nomeites, among
whom were a number of Portland people,
was a great disappointment In Nome, but
he attributes the failure to the enter
prise and sagacity of Seattle companies
who foresaw the detrimental effect such
action would have on Seattle trade. He
says that Mr. Hoxle (formerly of Port
land) and others had without difficulty
sold every berth and every Inch of freight
space on board the Indiana, ""and when
the news was received announcing the
fact that the scheme of sending the ship
in behalf 'of Portland was off, passen
gers and freight Intended for Portland
had to be transferred to other boats
booked for Seattle. This he regarded as
very unfortunate for Portland, for the
reason that It would have brought many
Nomeites to this city for the Winter,
nearly all of whom would have outfitted
here in the Spring. He also thinks It
would have had the effect of advertising
Portland In the North and diverting con
siderable of the Nome tr--- to Port
land from other points; bu.y .vhlle Port
land was endeavoring to get'the Indiana,
Seattle headed off the movement and pre
vented Its execution.
Mr. Lang's estimate of the mineral re
sources of Nome and adjacent tributary
district is indeed flattering. He reports
great development In placer finds of the
season, at Council City, Soloman River,
Candle Creek and Gold Run, while near
Nome the benches and tundra have pro
duced very rich deposits. He says that
Nome is better this year than ever before
and that the camp will Continue to im
prove for many years to come. From a
camp composed largely of gamblers,
toughs and speculators. It has settled
down to a solid, prosperous mining camp
of the first magnitude, and the trade for
the year 1903 with that coast will be
nearly as great and far more profitable
than It was during the rush of 1900. Mr.
Lang says that tho Nome district and
its tributary country is one of the best
camps in the known world, and that
quartz lodes of great extent and rich
ness will bi developed In the next few
years. In his opinion.
Nome is the, distributing point for a
large territory and will continue to be
so long as auriferous deposits are found
In paying quantities in that part of
Alaska. While millions of dollars in dust
have been taken from Nome and Its
tributary mines, the Industry in that, re
gl6n is not yet out of its swaddling
clothes and coming events will demon
strate the fact that Nome is yet to con
tribute millions of dollars to the wealth
of the world. The sum of $10,000,000 has
been brought out of that part of Alaska
this year alone. Mr. Lang thinks that
the declaration by competent mining men
familiar (With that country for years,
that every square mile of the Seward
Peninsula, Is underlaid with gold deposits,
In many cases In fabulous quantities. Is
strictly true.
Mr. Lang wont to Nome in the Spring
of 1900 along with the thousands of Arc
tic argonauts in quest of gold and while
his efforts during the first two years were
attended with indifferent success he had
the tenacity To cling to his determina
tion to succeed, believing that his esti
mate of the country and its hidden wealth
upon the occasion of his first visit to be
correct. He now believes more firmly
than ;ever In the possibilities of that
country and will depart for the northern
gold fields early In the Spring, spending
the Winter here, as has been his custom.

ROSES AND BRICKBATS.
Mrs. Dnniway Dincnsse Them and
Other Things.
PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 9.-(To the Edi
tor.) When the world began to shower
roses npern the venerable and now vener
ated Elizabeth Cady Stanton, she stepped
to the footlights and said, with mingled
tears and laughter: "If those were brick
bats I would know what to say, for I am
used to brickbats." I too, was once ac
customed to brickbats, though it is so
long since anybody shied them at me
that I am taken just a little by surprise.
Yet I am not sorry; for there Is nothing
that sq thoroughly arouses the deter
mination of the chlvaUous sons of Ore
gon's woman taxpayers to make way for
liberty for them as to see them assailed
by a disgruntled hobby-rider from "two
suffrage states," who, having failed to
secure the women's vote he looked for,
either for his hobby or himself, now turns
against the movement exactly as Brig
ham Young did when he saw that the
women of his church would vote against
polygamy In secret, even though they
had espoused It onenly, under compul
sion. I serenely beg the recalcitrant gen
tleman not to be alarmed. The women
of- Oregon may never be united in their
opinions upon any single hobby he rides,
but he may rest assured that they won't
hurt a hair of his devoted head. If any
"good" Oregon voter has been hurt be
cause the boomerang he has been throw
ing at equal suffragists for 50 years has
recoiled and hit him, let him be encour
aged. The mills of God grind slowly,
but they grind exceeding small. And I
wish to add that while It is doubtless true
that some well-meaning men may still be
found In the ranks of 'the pessimist, the
Ignorant and vicious are always there to
a man and woman.
Women arc being tendered the ballot
In free and progressive states, because
it belongs to them; and the broad-brained,
big-hearted men of these states are
scorning to claim a right for themselves
that they would withhold from their wives
and mothers. If the "waiting" habits of
the "great states" east of the Mississippi
are more congenial to George Wallace
Williams than the enterprising methods
of the Pacific Slope, I beg leave to sug
gest to the fiery gentleman that the walk
ing Is good on the railroad ties; and the
bridges, outside of Portland, are In tol
erable repair.

BOYS WOULD NOT 'TEACH."
Those Accused of Breaking? Down
Br Jil pre Barricade Set Free.
Fifteen boys attended the Municipal
Court yesterday to tell what they knew
about destroying the barricade and dan
ger notice on First street near GIbbs, on
Hallowe'en night. These boys pleaded
guilty: James Junger. Robert Matlack,
Harold Potter, Fred Harnden, Roy Gunn,
A. Bachman. A. Smith and Walter John
son. These other boys entered a plea of
not guilty: Ed Sloan, J. M. Coulter, Henry
Lauer, George Upton. Ed Prldeaux, Roy
Williams and P. McDonald. The matter
ended in all the boys being discharged,
as none of them seemingly told all they
knew and they would not "peach on the
gang." Most of the boys agreed that un
known persons broke down the barricade
and tossed several of the timbers into
the gulch, and several boys asserted that
the barricade fell when other boys, names
unknown, fell against it.
Evidence brought out by Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald showed that the bar
ricade had been erected across the road
way and sidewalks of First street near
Gibbs, to warn people that the bridge
was unsafe for travel. The evidence
given by one( witness, Ed Sloan, Is a sam
ple and was:
"I was not on the bridge when the bar
ricadfwwas torn down. I was out with the
boys, to see what was doing, and nothing
was doing. I was out for nearly two
hours."
"What were you doing during that
time?" insisted Mr. Fitzgerald.
"I wasn't doln' a thing," answered the
witness.
''Some of the boys talked the matter
over Sunday, as to what we would say
In court, and some boys stated they would
plead guilty. and others not guilty."
frankly testified Roy Williams, "I heard
the barricade break, and that Is all. I
was not the leader In the fun, and don't
know the boys' names who broke the bar
ricade." Mr. Fitzgerald observed: "These, boys
who pleaded guilty deserve credit for
telling the truth, and those other boys
should be punished." In the absence of
