HOW HE BOUGHT CORPSES Dr. Alexander Testifies In Ilia De fense in Grave-ltobblnK Came. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 10.-Today's session of the trial of Dr. Alexander, charged with grave robbery, opened with the testimony of Jacob Kurtz, a city de tective, who was formerly the turnkey at the county JalL He corroborated Dr. An derson's testimony that Cantrell tele phoned October IS from the Jail to Dr. Alexander's office. Joseph A. Kepler, manager for the local branch of R. G. Dun & Co.'s commercial agency, was a character witness. Dr. .H. M. Lash, a 6ieclallst In mental dis eases, waa asked for his opinion as to Cantrell's sanity. "I would consider the man as one of un sound mind," said Dr. Lash. , Aa the conviction of other alleged ghouls is said to depend largely on Cantrell's testimony, the question as to his mental condition is causing much comment. Dr Alexander took the witness stand. He appeared pale, but not ill at ease, and spoke in a low, 1 Jt clear, tone. He was graduated March 23, IKS. from the Indi ana College and opened an office In this city. He testified that he tended bar and kept the books for a time in his uncle's saloon. He was arrested at one time, while in the saloon business, he taild. on the charge of selling liquor after hours. but was acquitted. Dr. Alexander said he was employed to deliver 30 lectures at the Central College during the school term of 1901-O3, on descriptive anatomy of skeletons. 'He admitted his duty was to procure dissecting material for the col lege. We used possibly 10 or 13 bodies a sea son," he said. He received, an toia, w for each body. "I paid for the material, the work of preservation and In addition delivered 100 lectures," he testified. He said It cost him in time, labor and money about $12.50 to preserve- a body and place it in a barrel of brine. When did you first meet Rufus Can trell?" I met him In June, 1S02. He told me he had telephoned to Dr. Bretz and came to see me. I did not know what he wanted." We had a lot of uncleaned skeletons In the old college building. Cantrell. who was alone, told me he had worked about colleges and wanted employment. I tele phoned to cither Dr. Banner or Dr. East man about the matter and they referred me to Dr. Allen. I told Cantrell, whom I knew then as William Rufus, to return In a few days." Dr. Alexander said he made arrange ments and employed Cantrell to clean skeletons for $33, and advanced him $3.50 to buy overalls and a meal ticket. Dr. Alexander testified that he made efforts to secure dissecting material in different parts of the state without avail. About this time, he said, he took Cantrell's clothing out of a pawnshop and stood se curlty. On one occasion In July, 1903, he said, he talked with Cantrell about pro curing bodies. He told me he had proiured bodies for different colleges at times, and would like to do It again, the witness said. Dr. Alexander said he made arrangement with Cantrell to supply the college with ma terial at his own expense for 330 a body, c o. d. at the college. INVESTMENTS IN DANGER Timid Investors Want Their Money From St. Loui Company. ST. LOUIS. Feb. 10. The office fixtures and all visible assets of the John J. Ryan Turf Investment Company were attached today by a constable of Justice Kleibers Court. The attachment Is the result of a suit brought by Miss Mabel Quinn for 3200, which she alleges she gave to the Ryan Company for Investment, and which the company refused to turn over on de mand. Ryan's offices were crowded all morning with investors. In November notice was given out by the company that no money Invested could be withdrawn without first giving the company 30 days notice. Representatives of the company declare the company is solvent and that all divi dends, about 5 per cent a week, will be paid as heretofore, and withdrawals will be permitted under the rules of the com pany. A constable is In charge of tho attached property. Later the attachment was lifted, a bond for double the amount being filed. The office of the Ryan Company Is filled with investors withdrawing their funds and there was a similar condition of affairs at the headquarters of other like Invest ment companies" here. Crowds of men and women filled the of fices of several co-opcratlvo turf com panies this afternoon. All were excited and demanded the return of their Invest ments. A squad of police was detailed to prevent any trouble. Several women fainted In the dense crowds, and were removed to places of safety, but other wise no trouble occurred and a steady stream of investors filed notices of with drawals until late in the day.. Some ex citement occurred In the Nuisen build ing by the fainting of women, but a platoon of police rushed to the scene and soon restored order. The managers of the several concerns now experiencing a run on their treasuries are unanimous in their Individual declara tion that they are solvent. These com panies have been paying from 2 to 5 per cent dividends a week. LOST IN THE YUKON. Two Men Malntnin Life on Dos; Meat and Porcupine. SEATTLE, Feb. 10. A dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer from Dawson says: Reduced to starvation in the Arctic wilderness in the Yukon region, Victor Virgil Lowry and John Bevlns. of Daw son, maintained their lives on dog and porcupine flesh. The story of the suffer ing and hardship of the men has Just reached here by mall. The two men were en route from Daw son to the Koyukuk diggings. They left Dawson October 10. The fifth day after being lost their food became exhausted. The men were In desperate straits. They had no gun with which to shoot game, and not a living soul nor a place of refuge was known to be within hundreds of miles. In their desperation they could not par ley over proprieties of nicety. Lowry's faithful dog, his companion for three years, was the only available source of food. The dog was killed and eaten. But the flesh of the one animal did not last long. The two enervated men traveled two days more without a mouthful of food, when they came upon a young porcu pine. This they ran down and clubbed to death, and devoured, partly roasted. Twenty days after they had started out the men wandered Into a woodchopper's camp on tho Yukon, almost dead. After a few days they were nourished sufficiently to travel. Will Lay Double Tracks. Ties and rails are being distributed along East Harrison street between Grand ave nue and East Twelfth street for double tracks. This street has been graded pre paratory to being graveled.

Ralls have been distributed along Clinton street, between East Twenty-first and East Twenty-sixth. This will remove two harp curvesJn the Woodstock line. IT WAS NOT THEIR FAULT O. R. X. CO. DISCLAIMS RESPONSI BILITY FOR ACCIDENT. Alleses That Complainant Who Fell Through Hole In Wharf Was Very Careless. The O. R. & N. Co., in answer to the suit of W. P. Hlatt, a longshoreman, for 310,000 damages, avers that Hlatt fell through an opening In the Alaska wharf on the night of October 8. 1902, because of his own carelessness. The driveway of the wharf, it is stated, was being repaired by Robert Wakefield, a contractor. It Is 20 feet wide, and Wakefield's men had torn away four feet along the water side. This left 16 feet in width, which, it is al leged, was ample space for Hlatt to walk over as he was going home from his work on the steamship Elder. It is claimed that the place was well lighted, and Hlatt had no excuse for walking through the open place. The company denies that he was permanently Injured, or that he Is unable to work. Hlatt, In his complaint, sets forth that several of his ribs were broken and that he 'was badly bruised. DIDNT LIKE HIS WAYS. Court Telia Attorney That He Is Wnstlns; Time. The trial of the suit of the City Lumber Company against Michael Tautfest, to re cover 3244 for lumber furnished for a building erected at Eighteenth and Pa cific streets, occupied the time of Judge Frazer yesterday, and will be continued today. J. H. HItchlngs appeared as attorney for the defendants, and the court and the counsel did not at all agree concerning the kind and quantity of testimony to be drawn from the witnesses. , Judge Frazer several times indulged in such remarks as "Get down to the issues of the case," "Here you have been fool ing away time all day." At another time, when the counsel asked the bookkeeper of the lumber com pany if she kept a record of a transac tion. Judge Frazer said. Impatiently: "Of course she kept a record of It. You might as well ask the young lady if she eats breakfast in the morning." Mr. Hitchlngs persisted In thinking he had a right to conduct -the case after his own notions, notwithstanding the inter ruptions of the court, and kept hard at it up to the adjournment hour. Tautfest, as a defense, states that he bought the lumber from Mr. Dempsey. manager of the Alblna Lumber Company, and therefore does not understand why the City Lumber Company can file a Hen on his property'for the bill. The evidence disclosed that Mr. Demp sey is identified with, both companies. SAY HE WAS DRUNK. Renson Advanced by Defendants for HnntiiiKton'a Fall. Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, who owns the Occidental Hotel building, at the corner of First and Morrison streets, J. W. Sweeny and Charles Carter, contractors, deny that Thomas Huntington is entitled to recover damages from them because he fell into an excavation on the evening of October 13. 1902. At the time of the acci dent a cement sidewalk was being laid In front of the hotel, and the sills of the building were undergoing repairs. A tem porary plank walk was put down. Huntington says the boards were loose and he tipped over and fell into a deep hole. In his complaint Died In the State Circuit Court In an action for 33000 he alleges that as a result of the fall three of his teeth were knocked out that he was Internally Injured and was confined in the hcspltal for two months. The defendants. In their answer, assert that Huntington fell Into the excavation because he had a "Jag" on. and that if he had been sober he could have walked across the planks in safety, as many other persons did.

A motion for a new trial has been filed In the suit of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. against the Northern Pacific Lumber Company.

MENDED CHINA Don't Do Well With Hot Water. "We house wives know better than to use hot water on mended china nnd com mon sense tells me that coffee or tea should never be used by those who have undergone operations for stomach trou ble or appendicitis, etc. In fict If it were not for the stomach troubles set up by coffee I believe these operations would nor be necessary In nine cases, out of ten." says a lady of Peoria, III. "My husband has been changed from a con firmed dyspeptic to an lverage healthy eater by the use of Fostum in place of coffee. I And it much richer and clearer by making over, always adding a little more fresh Postum and then proceed as If fresh. My husband never likes It fresh as well as the second or third make over. Our physician who recommended Postum to us was a confirmed coffee drinker but found that one cup of Pos tum satisfied him and Improved his di gestion immediately. Another physician acquainted had a slmllir experience. But I started to write you about my husband's condition. Ho had four operations for stomach trouble. I feel certain that had he used Postum In place of tei and coffee for years preceding this the operations would never hove been necessary.

WILL URGE THEIR CAUSE DELEGATION OF SELLWOOD CITI ZENS GOING TO SALEM. Intereat In Free Ferry Acroaa the WHInmrtte Scciua Active, nnd I'nsauKe of Bill Advocated. A delegation of about eight representa tive citizens from Sellwood and Fulton will go to Salem today to lay before the Multnomah delegation full Information concerning the cost of building and oper ating a ferry across the Willamette River between those two points. Araonir those who villi go are Judge Caples. F. Zimmer man, D. M. Donough, A. N. Wills and some others. Mr. Donough, president of the Sellwood Board of Trade, said yesterday: "We want to correct the statement made that we have given up the effort to get the free ferry, for we of Sellwood are Just as earnest and want the ferry Just as much now as ever. Nor have we lost' the slightest interest in the cause. It was published that Sellwood had given up the fight for the ferry, but that was a very great mistake. "We shall go to Salem tomorrow nnd give the delegation all the Information that has been asked for on the subject We shall show that It will cost about $15,000 to build a ferry that will answer our purpose. It Is not expected that this ferry should be run longer than about 16 hours per day. We have had assurances that the delegation Is strongly inclined to favor what we ask, as being reasonable and perfectly fair for the south end of Portland, with Its growing industries and population." The cost of providing a landing for the ferry on both sides will be comparatively small, and especially to for the Sellwood side, where the former ferry landing can be fixed up. On the west side the cost will be a little more. An Incline of some length will have to be provided. Funeral of Harry Antonlaen.
