WITNESS ON GRILL
Weli-Known Contractor Ap
pears as Co-Respondent
ATTORNEY VERY INQUISITIVE
Questions Asked by Counsel for Plain
tiff in Jennings' Divorce Suit
Make John Seed Angry Y. M. '
C. A. Detective Testifies.
"I don't kno-w what you call love. If a
person goes to a theater -with you, or goes
out ridlnjj "with you, do you call that
love?" said John S. Seed, the well-known
contractor. In Judge Frazer's court yes
terday. In answer to a question if it was
not a fact that Mrs. Helen Cynthia Jen
nings is in love with him.
Mrs. Jennings is the defendant in a
suit for a divorce brought by her hus
band, Orvllle O. Jennings, a locomotive
engineer for the Southern Pacific Com
pany and John S. Seed Is named as the
co-respondent In the case. Seed's wife
obtained a divorce from him some time
ago on account of Mrs. Jennings, it is
said.
Seed took the witness-stand and denied
it all like a gentleman. He asserted that
he had never sustained any improper
relations with the defendant in this suit,
although his name had been mentioned
that way by many witnesses throughout
the trial. Then J. E. Bronaugh, attorney
for Jennings, took Seed in hand for cross
examination and soon things got warm.
"Your wlfo upbraided you for associat
ing with Mrs. Jennings?" asked the coun
sel. "She upbraided me for going with
everybody," responded Seed
Questions Make. Seed Angry.
He admitted walking with Mrs. Jennins
on tho street, and sitting with her in the
theater.
"You have a reputation in this commun
ity of being a great .chaser, haven't you?"
continued tho attorney.
'Have you any proof of that?" retorted
Seed hotly.
Judge Frazer sustained an objection
to the question, and also said it was not
necessary for counsel to Interrogate Seed
about a girl he run with in South Port
land. Further along Seed was asked if Mrs.
Jennings visited him at the Selllng-Hlrsch
building, and what for, and he in return
inquired, "What does any women come to
see-a man for?" He explained that his
fllce was there, as well as his residence
apartments.
Next Mr. Bronaugh took a turn ques
tioning him as to why he went to Oregon
City when Jennings sued him for $10,000
damages for alienating his wife's affec
tions. "My attorney told me he would rather
they did not serve mo with the papers
for a few days. He said if I was out of
the county they couldn't serve them. I
was going to Oregon City, I had some
Ashing to do there,"
Seed couldn't remember having taken
Mrs. Jennings to the Irvingtpn race track.
House Divided Against Itself.
"Your boy said you did," remarked
Judge Frazer, and Mr. Bronaugh com
mented, "a house divided against itself
must fall." Seed thought awhile and rub
bed his head. He was not sure he took
her to the races. He remembered seeing
her there, however, and also his son.
A. trip to Tualatin with Mrs. Jennings
was the subject of Inquiry. Seed said they
remained all night. There were other
women there at the time. Following this
Mr. Bronaugh asked: .
"How long do you think this community
will stand your running around with mar
ried women like that?"
"I don't know," he responded, "if they
will or not. She wanted to go to Tualatin
and I took her. There was nothing wrong
about IL There were other women along.
She is not tho only woman who has been
with me in that rig."
"I know that perfectly well," retorted
the attorney.
The witness was examined at considera
ble length along these lines and on other
points. He denied that he always took
Mrs. Jennings out when Jennings was
not here.
Jennings, the plaintiff in tho suit, who
was married to the defendant ten years
ago, testified at length how Seed ruined
his home. He also asked for the custody
of their son, a boy of 9 years of age.
Jennings told of intercepting a letter
from his wife to Seed, and he told her he
ought to strike her, but he wouldn't She
answered that she wouldn't blame him.
she had nothing to live for. He told of
visits of Seed to his house, and to the
roundhouse when he had Just come in
from a run from Boseburg. He said Seed
came to find out If he was here, and Seed
denied that such was the case. Jennings
stated that he was placed on the run
from Roseburg to Ashland and lived at
Rcseburg. Ho deeded his wife two
houses on Hoyt street, and she agreed to
come and live at Roseburg, and then re
fused. A long time afterwards she came
to Roseburg and they made up. This
was in May last. They arranged to move
there in June and in the meantime he
learned that she was associating with
Seed, and the divorce suit and the suit
against Seed for damages were brought.
Jennings testified that he worth about
$18,000 in property.
Detective From Y. M. C. A.
C "W. Carlson, who is taking a course
of instruction with the T. M. C. A. with
the intention of becoming a worker in
the cause, acted as a detective for Jen
nings last Summer, and he gave damaging
evidence against the co-respondent.
Carlson stated that he followed Seed
and Mrs. Jennings to Oregon City, saw
them fishing, and Mrs. Jennings caress
ing Seed's bald head and stroking his side
locks.
A witness testified about a quarrel be
tween Mrs. Seed and Mrs. Jennings when
the latter was with the husband of the
former, and Mrs. Seed used an umbrella
with good effect.
Walter Hoffman, elevator boy in the
Selling-Hirsch building, saw the couple
often together. Xumerous other witnesses
testified. J. C Moreland appears as at
torney for the defense. The trial will be
concluded today.

alty is 20 years' confinement . in the
penitentiary, but the Jury recommend
ed him to the leniency of the court.
The Jury was out one hour. "Walton re

sition fully.

THEIR BLOOD BOILItTG.
East Water-Street Property-Owners
Enter Protest.
Property-owners along East "Water
street, from Hawthorne avenue to East
Pine are up in arms over the . discovery
that the franchise of the Oregon "Water
Power & Railway Company gives it the
right to lay a track in that street and
to fill the middle of the street with an
enbankment 14 feet wide, without requir
ing it to fill the remainder of the street
for the property-owners for 12& cents
per cubic yard. They had supposed all
along that they had granted the company
a franchise on East Front street for the
consideration that they should get the
remainder of the street filled at this
figure, and were amazed, and indignant to
find that tho company' has a franchise
without the slightest reference to filling
up the rest of the street. The property
owners had supposed all along that this
concession had been required until this
week, when they ascertained that it had
been left out, but for what reason they
do not know. They learned this for the
first tlmo from Superintendent Tiffany,
of the railway company, who informed
them the company had a franchise which
permitted it to fill up 14 feet of the street,
and nothing more.
Joseph Supple, who owns about 200 feet
frontage, and who has always desired to
get the street filled, said last evening:
"This is a very great outrage on tho
property-owners, after F. A. Morris, of
the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Com
pany, had entered Into an agreement to
fill the remainder of the street at ,the
rate of 124 cents per cubic yard. I was
not present, but my understanding has
been all along, that such an agreement
was made with Mr. Morris. For that
reason, and for no other, wo agreed to
permit the company to have a franchise
on the street, and yet. In the face of this
agreement, the city gives this company
an unrestricted right to occupy 14 feet
pf the street with an embankment and
"With tracks for no mnsldoratlnn fnr tVi
bsjroperty-owners. Now that the company
Unas the franchise without restrictions,
told tho company cannot fill for that
figure, but must have 40 cents. "We
thought we would stop the progress of
the work and a lot of us went to the city
hall Tuesday and made complaint that
the company was violating tho city ordi
nance by tearing up more than five blocks.
The men at work said afterwards, 'On,
yes, we are under arrest,' and went right
ahead at work. This morning they went
to work Just the same as If we had not
made any protest.
"Mr. D. C. O'Reilly who bought the
"Wolfe & Zwlcker property, says he saw
a letter In the city hall from Mr. Morris
In which he agreed to fill the remainder of
the street for 12& cents per cubic yard.
It looks as If the railway company has
got us. I understand that an attorney
examined the franchise today, and found
that there is nothing about filling up the
remainder of the street for 12 cents per
cubic yard. I am Informed that Mr. Mor
ris will have a conference with Mr.
Ladd over the matter and see if it can be
uxca up somenow."
Meanwhile the construction crew is
pushing tracklaylng. It began north of
Bast Morrison yesterday. The surface of
the elevated roadway is sawed out 14
feet wide, a single track In then laid on
the bents of the elevated road, and the
dump cars are rapidly filling up the cen
ter of the street, according to the com
pany's franchise. A narrow roadway is
left on each side of the track. The track
will be completed to East Oak this week.
The entire roadway is only 36 feet wide
and there are no sidewalks. For the two
blocks north of Hawthorne avenue there
Is no roadway, as It was burned down
two years ago.
DEMOCRATS FOR ROOSEVELT.
Old Warhorses of the Party in Lake
County Will Vote for Republicans.
"Lake County next month will give
President Roosevelt about 250 majority,
and he will get about 75 per cent of tho
votes," said C. A. Cogswell, a gold Demo
crat and formerly State Senator from
Crook, Klamath and Lake Counties, ves
terday. He has Just returned from a visit
to Lakevlew. where he appeared as coun
sel for the defendant In the suit of the
Stato of Oregon against the "Warner Val
ley Stock Company. He says he only met
two Democrats In that section who were
enthusiastic over Judge Parker's election.
"I. anticipate, however, that the vote
will be a light one, from the fact that at
elecion time a number of voters will bo
engaged driving sheep and cattle to mar
ket," proceeded Mr. Cogswell. "But I
predict that President Roosevelt will get
the largest percentage of votes ever polled
In Lake. Many Democrats are going to
support him because of the attack made
by Judge Parker on the Philippine ques
tion, and because they feel that a chango
of party government would not be bene
ficial at this time. They distrust those
who are with Parker.
"I talked with many Lake County Dem
ocrats during my visit there, and even
old warhorses were promising to vote for
Roosevelt This is significant when one
remembers that up to 1SS6 Lake was a
Democratic county. At the last general
election Lake went Republican by . 163
votes, and at the election in June, 1902.
the total number of electors polling was
874. Roosevelt will win at the forthcom
ing National election, and I anticipate
that he will be largely helped by young
men who will vote for the first time In
their lives, representing as they do about
one-tenth of the vote of the Republican
party. I found trade and business gen
erally a little quiet around Lake, be
cause of low prices realized at the present
time for mutton and beef. Before very
long, when 300.000 acres of land will be
placed under Irrigation, Klamath County
will be one of the wealthiest counties in
Oregon outside of Multnomah."

MAY BOYCOTT DOCK
Shipwrights5 Union Wants All
Work at St Johns.
CONTRACTORS RECEIVE NEWS
Aragonia Sails This Morning With
Valuable Cargo for Oriental Ports
New Ship on Portland
List.
Every shipcarpenter, liner and con
tractor in Portland who has occasion to
use the drydock yesterday received a cir
cular from tho local secretary of the Na
tional Union of Shipwrights, Joiners and
Caulkers, reading as follows:
"At a meeting held by the union Octo
ber 18, I was Instructed to Inform all con
tractors that do work on the Port of
Portland drydock that no members of this
union will be permitted to work on any
vessel In the Port of Portland drydock
unless the bilge blocks1 are moved by the
members of the union."
This means that all work done hereafter
on vessels in tho drydock must bo done
by union men or the plant will be boy
cotted. Contractors complain bitterly against
tho rule, saying It will prevent them from
competing for drydock work with other
ports on the Coast. The union rates are
$4.50 per day, and the men also require
pay for an extra hour in going to and
from the city. This brings the rate up
to $4.95 a day for work, much of which
does not require skilled labor. At the
Quartermaster Harbor dock, near Ta
coma. It Is said, the cleaners, scrapers
and painters work for $2 to $2.50 per day
and much of the common labor there is
performed for $LG0 per day. The shifting
of bilge blocks, according to the con
tractors, can be done by any strong la
borer, and they do not see why they
should be compelled to hire union men
and pay union wages for this work. They
say there are plenty of men living at St.
Johns who are willing to do this work for
$2 to $2.50 a day.
Members of the union, on the other
hand, say they are entitled to all the
work on the drydock. If they are en
gaged In cleaning, painting or caulking
a vessel, they declare the moving of bilge
blocks and other such work should also
be performed by them and not given to
nonunion men. It is probable that a test
case will be made of the next vessel
brought hero for docking.

Steamship Service of Pacific Coast to
Be Investigated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26. A search
ing investigation of the steamship serv
ice on the Pacific Coast is to be insti

and other paraphernalia, in order to de
termine whether or not the Government

York, It is stated, is responsible for this
action by officials at Washington.
John Bermingham, the Supervising In
spector of Steam and Sailing Vessels In
this district, arrived at Washington yes
terday, and immediately held a confer
ence with Secretary Metcalf. Rear-Admiral

plete report on the votes of all the doubt
ful states and districts as soon as the
count is made and as it progresses.
The report from the precincts of this
state will also be sent In to the watchers
at headquarters as fast as they are
counted, so that Mr. Baker will be able
to forecast the result of the election long
before any absolutely reliable bulletins

settled as yet.
Allan R. Joy,- of Portland, 13 scheduled
to speak at lone. Morrow County, Satur
day, November 5, but owing to the fact
that a meeting for Heppner is being plan
ned for the same night, it is possible that
the people of Ione may postpone their
rally in order to be able to attend at
Heppner. Judge J. E. Magers and J, Jf.
"Winter have been- selected as the orators
for Heppner, and as both of the men
have reputations as campaigners, it is
likely that the lone meeting will be put
off until after the one at Heppner so that
the citizens may have a chance to hear
all three of the addresses.
Judge A. H. Tanner, who Is asoclated
with Senator John H. Mitchell In the law
firm of Mitchell & Tanner, will join
Colonel. E. Hofer, of Salem, for a couple
of speeches on November 5. The first
meeting will be held at Oakland in the

the evening.
The citizens of Union County have been
anxious to secure the services of Senator
George C. Brownell for a series of meet
ings in that part of the state, to com
mence with a rally at Union on October
28. Owing, however, to the sudden and
serious illness of Senator Brownell's son.
the intending speaker has been forced to
cancel his dates with Union County. Per
haps .the only speech the Senator will
make will be at Pendleton on November 5.
Other meetings are being rapidly ar
ranged for and the campaign will be
wound up with a grand rush from one
end of the state to the other.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
fln Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
Its value when taken Into the human sys
tem for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal lsa remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it Is not a drug at I
all. but simply absorbs the gases and Im
purities always present In the stomach
and Intestines add carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, "drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered "Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form, or rather In the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condition of
the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is that no possible harm can
result from their continued -use. but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician m speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients'
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also be
lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by the j
dally use of them; they cost but 25 cents
a box' at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better charcoal In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any
of the ordinary charcoal tablets."

ROILS AND
ERUPTIONS
Have been suffering from Impure Blood
for many years, having Boils and other
Eruptions. Having heard of S. S. S. I de
cided to try it, and am glad to say that it
has done me a great deal of good. Iintend
to continue to use it, as I believe it to be
the best Blood Medicine on the market.
Cleveland, Tenn. W. K. Deters.
For over fifteen "years I have suffered
more or less from Impure Blood. About a
year ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my neck. I saw S. S. S.
advertised and decided to try it. After
taking three bottles all Boils disappeared
and I have not been troubled 'any 'since.

Newark, Ohio, May 23, 1903.
From childhood I I had been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions aad boils.
I had boils ranging from five to twenty in
number each season. The burning ac
companying the eruption was terrible.
S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
needed in my case. It drove out all impu
rities and bad blood, giving me perma-.
nent relief from the skin eruption and
boils. This has been ten years ago, and I
have never had a return of the disease.
