LAUTH IS ON TRIAL Slayer of: js;i(xes Pleads Insariityln'His Defense, PROVES TO BE POOR WITNESS Alleged Murderer Sheds Some Tears and Becomes "Badly Tanglwl 'ln Statements Concerning the State of His Finances. OREGON CITY. Or.. -Nov. 22. (Spe cial.) Charged with .first degree mur der, the trial of George Lauth, for the fatal shooting of Mrs. Lenore B. Jones in this city September 6 last, was begun before Judge McBride today. In sanity Is being piakded as a defense in the case, which was continued until 8:30 A. M. Wednesday shortly after the state rested its side this afternoon.. The Jurors arw William F. Harris, James Smith, W. H. Bottlemiller, John Page. John I. Evans, Charles Epler, Frank H. Hilton, Nicholas Bath. Mat Kandel, Hulras, A. a Holllngsworth and Xhomas Johnson. J. N. Woods and wife, tho parents of the murdered woman, testified that Lauth came to their home on the morning of the shooting and shortly after he was joined by Mrs. Jones in an adjoining room the shooting took place, Lauth surrendering himself to Mr. Woods and admitting" that he had shot the woman .and was sorry for it. The 9-year-old daughter of the mur dered woman was called by the state and related a conversation she over heard between Lauth and her mother, Just before the shooting, in which there took place a dispute over the di vision of some personal property. Charles Wright, proprietor of a bar ber shop in this city, testified that on the morning of the murder Lauth en tered his shop and, while being shaved, -This is the last time you will see me or have a chance to shave me." When asked lor an explanation as to what he meant by the remark, Wright stated that Lauth said: $, "The big fight Is coming oft at 10 o'clock this morning and you will hear all about it." With these remarks Lauth left the shop and the shooting occurred between 9:30 and 10 o'clock, less than a half hour later. Dr. W, E. Carll, who conducted the post-mortem examination, testified as to the nature of the four gunshot wounds, either one of two of which would have resulted fatally without the interference of an operation. The objection of the defense to the Intro duction of the ante-mortem statement of Mrs. Jones was overruled, and the document, which was subscribed to by the murdered woman Just before she was operated upon at a Portland hos pital, was admitted. In this statement, Mrs. Jones gave her account of the shooting which, she said, resulted from a dispute between herself and Lauth as to the division of -ome personal ef--fects. W. E. Wilson, Constable Trembath and George Smalley gave testimony that went to show that the shooting of the woman by Lauth was deliberate and with premeditation. "When the state rested its case, tho defense -called Lauth to the stand. The defendant carr'ed an Injured expres sion throughout the proceedings, and vhen witnesses for tho state testified .concerning the shooting and death of the woman, he became noticeably ai- Xeeted .and shed a few tears. When called to the witness-stand, however, he regained his composure, but he proved a poor witness. He testified that for IS months he and the murdered woman had lived together as husband and wife, although not married, the woman not having been divorced from her former husband: stated that his every affection was centered in the -woman, whom he charged with having taken with her a diamond pin to the value of $163 and $700 In money, which Tie claimed was his personal property, when she went to Roseburg a few days nerore the shooting. He did not remember having visited Wright's barber shop on tho morning of the shooting, although ho admitted a faint recollection of having visited his room at the Woods home that morn ing, but from that time until he was on the way to the County Jail in charge ot an officer, subsequent to the shoot ing. he testified that his mind was a blank and that ho had absolutely no knowledge of the deed. On cross-examination something of a scandal was sprung by District Attor ney Allen, who sought to establish the fact that, although Lauth claimed to be Infatuated with the Jones wo man alone, he was having Illicit relations at the same time with two other women, one of whom was a sis ter of the woman ho shot This form of cross-examination was ruled out by the court. Lauth became badly entangled by the District Attorney on further cross-examination as to his possession ot tho $700 he said he gave Mrs. Jones Just before she went to Roseburg. He first testified that the sum represented his savings or 33 months, but afterwards admitted that at the time he purchased the diamond ring for $165 in May last ne naa oniy 5b&..jie then-said he won the $700 at gambling between the mid dle of May artd some time in July when he and the Jones woman had a quarrel anu eeparatea. STATUS OF THE "SCRIPPERS." Best Chance to Get Lands Purchased From Oregon as Lieu Lands. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 22. fSDeeial."7n a letter received toaay by Governor Chamberlain, Commissioner Richards, of the General Land Office, says that ms present course regarding state lieu land selections is not in accordance with the plan outlined ly him in his letter of October 13. 1903. but tin iitiflet. himself by saying that his course is in accordance with law while the plan suggested by him a year ago was not a decision in a pending caso but was only a report to the Secretary of the Interior. According to the letter received today, the purchasers of state lieu land have no advantage or protection by reason of holding relinquishments of the state's claim to the land. In his letter of a year ago the Com missioner said that the state could protect its purchasers where the state's title had failed, by giving them relin quishments, and these, "purchasers, holding the state's relinquishments, may present it with their applications and thereby securo the right of entry." This letter was addressed to the Secre tary of the Interior and transmitted to the Governor "for his information." All the members ot the State Land Board took this to be a statement of the policy of the department, and acted accordingly, issuing hundreds of re linquishments upon the expressed un derstanding that by presenting them at the Land Offices tho purchasers could secure a right of entry. But the appli cations of purchasers were refused by the local land officials, and this refusal is approved in. the letter received by the Governor today. The letter is a lengthy one, but the substance of it is that "the fact that an application to enter Is accompanied by a. relinquish ment of the title of1 the state la and t9 a pending iIcti-on. list. See not' warrant the allowance. of such appli cation for. until the relinquishment has been accepted by this office the selection list cancelled and the cancellation noted upon the records of the local office, the land remains segregated.' The letter closes with tho suggestion that where purchasers from the state have lost their titles they muBt.look to tne 'state for redress. It is also, -declared that as soon as the selection lists are canceled the land is open to entry by the first qualified applicant. This means, in effect, that "scrippers" will have the best chance to get lands pur chased from the state as lieu land, to' which the state's title has failed. The land for which the selections have been or "will be canceled will aggregate 30. 000 acres. Governor Chamberlain says he will try further to induce the Department ot the Interior, to change its policy as an nounced Ia the Jotter today. "MAKE 1T UNANIMOUS. Governor Chamberlain .In Favor of Georgia Democrats Plan. SALEM, Or., -N?v. 22. (Special".) : Governor George E. Chamberlain, who was a 'delegate to the Democratic Na tional Convention at St. Louis and who voted in that convention for Judge Parker, believes it would be best for all the Democratic ,members of the electoral college to vote for Roosevelt for President and 'make his electlfm unanimous. This opinion Governor Chamberhtin expressed today upon reading in The Oregonian the views of Julius urown, a prominent Georgia Democrat, to the same effect. The Governor concurs in what Mr. Brown was quoted as saying, and. be lieves that the election of Roosevelt by a unanimous vote would do more than any other one thing to create a friendly feeling between Mortn ana soutn ana destroy the old lines of division. Gov ernor Chamberlain believes that Roose velt has been misrepresented regarding his feeling toward the South and that entirely wrong conclusions wero drawn from the Booker T. Washington, inci dent. The leader of the Oregon dele gation In the Democratic delegation hopes to see the Democratic vote go to Roosevelt. In commenting upon this subject the Governor showed quite plainly that he feels that the men who bolted the Democratic ticket In 1900 got Just retri bution in 1904, when they were in con trol of the party. Nevertheless the Gov ernor was a supporter of Parker in 1904 as he was of Bryan in 1900. . Hero in Bad Repute. TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 22. T. J. Ca sey, the so-called "hero of Caloocan," said to possess a medal of honor for climbing a flagpole and hoisting the colors that had been shot away In bat tle, has been driven from Tacoma as an undesirable person. His soldier ca reer was with the Army in the Philip pines. Two years ago he was convicted for robbing a sailor, and has Just served his term. He was given his fare from the penitentiary to Tacoma, but tho police recognized him and made him more on. although he declared he had returned to live down his former rep utation and begin anew. In spite of his bravery and the service he rendered his country, however, the police claim that he has a bad record and is too dan gerous a man to be allowed to remain in the community. Freshets Bring Down Logs. ASTORIA. Or.. Nov. 22. (Special.) A great many logs were brought down by the recent freshets, although quite a quantity is still left. In the Lewis and Clark River 6,000.000 of the 10,000.000 feet came down. Lower Gray's River Is blocked with logs and several jinllllon feet must have been moved. There were about 15. 000.000 feet of logs on Upper Gray's River, but all of them were not floated. A report received from there today says that only a small portion of the logs be longing to the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company were moved. A large Jam oc curred in the Clatskanlne Creek, and as a result only about 600,000 of the 5,000,000 feet on that stream reached tidewater. Candidates for Rhodes Scholarships.

SALEM, Or., Nov. 22. (Special.) The- adoption of a -weekly closed season instead of Spring and Fall closed seas ons, the appropriation of money for .the purchase and operation of two swift patrol boats and the revision of the li cense laws, are among- the most Im portant recommendations made by Mas ter Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen In his biennial report setting: forth the -work of his office and the condition of the fishing- industry In Oregon. He also recommends that all fishing at the mouth of the Columbia be prohibited, so that fish may not bo prevented from en tering the river, and that officers of the fishery department be authorized to seize and Immediately destroy as pub lic nuisances all fishing appliances found in operation in violation of law. The Commissioner's report is a lengthy document, comprising 105 pages of typewritten matter. It gives a detailed account ''of hatchery opera tions and an exhaustive discussion of the subject of closod seasons and en forcement of the law. Spocial reports from hatchery superintendents are in cluded, setting forth their views of the reason for the shortage in the take of salmon eggs this year. "While Mr. Van Dusen says that over fishing seems to be the most reason able explanation of the shortage, he has some doubt about the correctness of this theory and will make further in vestigations before the Legislature meets. Close One Day Each Week. The reason advanced for the recom mendation in favor of a weekly closed season Is that this will permit fish ot all kinds to ascend the Tiver. thus sup plying the hatcheries with every vari ety of salmon from which to take eggs for hatching purposes, and at the same time the fishing Interests will not be deprived of an opportunity to do a good season's work. He saya that on the Sacramento River, In California, af ter threshing out the question for many years, the weekly closed season has been substituted or the Spring closed season, with satisfactory results. The closed season extends from sunrise Sat urday morning to sunset Sunday even ing. Mr. Van Dusen says that if one day a week is not enough in Oregon two days should be provided as a closed season, but he thinks one-seventh of the time each week Is enough for the fish to get up the stream if left without interfer ence. Scores Washington Officials. Mr. Van Dusen scores the Washing ton state officers for collecting license fees from Oregon fishermen and using the moiey to build up Washington hatcheries. What Mr. Van Dusen wants is a patrpl boat so that Oregon may be on an equality with Washington In looking after Illegal fishing. While he admits that a patrol boat is an expen sive luxury, he reminds the Legislature that It is impossible for an officer of the fishlnsr department to "swoop down upon" fishermen in a skiff. A faster means of travel Is necessary, as no thinks any one would admit who would o-o out with an officer In a skiff while attempting to watch several thousand fishermen on such a broad ana long river as the Columbia. He adds: The state ot Washington provided a pa trol boat for its officers last year, which they made very good use of during tho Spring close season this year gathering in licenses from Oregon fishermen whom they found violating the law It seems from the dozen or more fishermen I questioned rela tive to the matter that when they wer caught all they had to do was to put up the $2.50 for their license and then they were allowed to go with a reprimand, their aim evidently being to collect as much as possible to build up their own hatchery fund regardless of the detriment'lt might b to this state. ' While the State of Washington requires no official etiquette ot Its police patrol on th Columbia. It seems to me that there Is nothing left for this state to do but to pro vide Its officials with a couple of good, swift patrol boats built especially for the work, or submit to the Inevitable. Protect Old Cannerymen. The revision of the license schedules recommended is chiefly for the purpose. of attaining greater equality between old and now cannerymen. New cannory- men pay only a small fee, but get tho benefit of a fishing industry that has been largely built up with funds paid in by the old operators. Mr. Van Dusen recommends that the amount of the feo to be paid by cannerymen the first year of their operation be fixed by the Board of Fish Commissioners and that it bo four or five times the amount now re quired by that class. Legislation Recommended. , A. summary of. the recommendations made, by Master Fish Warden Van Du sen is'as follows: First -That the state continue to assist the work cf artificial propagation of salmon by orovldlng the hatchery establishments. Second That $10,000 be appropriated for a general flsheultural hatchery on the Wallowa Ittver. Third That (5000 be appropriated, for a. gen eral flsheultural hatchery on the McKensle River. Fourth That an annual appropriation or $3000 be allowed district No. 2 to assist in defraying the expense of operating the coast hatcheries. Fifth That the schedule of licenses be raised and made sufficient to meet all the require ments for hatchery operations. Sixth That the license fee for a set-net be made the same as a gill-net license fee. Seventh That no fishing be allowed on hatch, cry streams, or on salmon-breeding streams, or within five rails of the mouth of such streams, excepting with hook and line, commonly called angling. Eighth That a certain well-defined line- be established at the mouth of the Columbia River and no fishing be allowed beyond that line. Ninth Thai certain well-defined line be es tablished on all coat streams, and that so fishing he allowed above those lines, excepting with book aad line, cosusoBly called angling. Tenth That on streams acroas which is con. 4. structea mmA olstslne a Um fcitUir fee allowed. exceUBg with, heelc aad line, com monly called angllag. asd that hook, and llne flshlBg be -restricted and act allowed within half a zalle ot t&e dam. X3erreath That any flchlag aepllance found fishing unlawfully, or In prohibited waters, be declared a public nuisance and be seized and destroyed without process of law.

GOOD YEAR FOR BEET CROP. Grand Ronde Farmers Are Mastering Art of. Their Culture. LA GRANDE, Or., Nov. 22. (SpeciaL) The La Grande Amalgamated Sugar factory Is on the last of the beets of the 1904 crop, and the superintendent of the factory reports this the most suc cessful year since the establishment of the factory in 1898. There have been 21,000 tons of beets delivered to the factory this season, all first-class, which will make 55,000 100 pound bags cf sugar. The factory-will run about ten days longer this Fail, which will make a 90 days' run. Five hundred men and children, in cluding a number of Indians and Japs, were employed in the beets from three to four months this season, thinning them early in the season and pulling and topping this Fall, realizing very good wages for their work. F. S- Bramwell, the field superintend ent, states that the average tonnage to the acre was greater this season than any year heretofore, and that the farmers in the valley are becoming thoroughly acquainted with the raising of beets and raise more of them every year. M. s. Carroll, on a tract ot nve acres, raised 236,401 pounds,, for which he received $4.50 per ton, netting $106 an acre. Other growers did equally as well where tho land was well prepared and the same attention paid the crop. The sugar factory .planted a large acreage this season, in all about 2300 acres, and expects to greatly increase this amount next year. The factory has geen running night and day for 90 days, employing 125 men, and many of these will be emoloved In and about the factory after the run of sugar has been completed. About $110,000 has been paid out to the beetgrowers for beets this season by the company:, and the expense of work In the factory. In tho company's fields and in the purchase of some lands for the raising of beets. NORTHWE8T DEAD. Funeral of Merva Potter. SHERIDAN, Or., Nov. 22.

BOISE. Idaho, Nov. 22. SpeciaL) The trouble over the management of the penitentiary resulted today in an effort on the part of Attorney-General Bagley and Secretary of State Gibson to oust "Warden Perrln and install Guard D. "W. Ackley in charge of the institution. The warden refused to recognise the appoint ment and after considerable squabbling the parties agreed to call a truce until the Supreme Court could act on applica tion for a writ of mandate to compel Perrln to turn over the keys of tho prop erty. The two members of tho State Board. acting in the absence of the Governor, made the orders early this morning dis missing Perrln and appointing Ackley. The latter thereupon went to tho prison armed with an order from them to turn the Institution over to him. Perrln told. him be could not recognize the order, as the meeting of the board was not legaL Ackley insisted would take possession at once and demanded that the warden deliver the keys. ' warden Perrln then exhibited a revert er and ordered Ackley tb leave the prem ises. Ackley left and came down town. After he had reported to the board Gib son ana Bagley, accompanied by Sheriff Agnew, went bac& with him. Bagley in formed Perrin that Ackley was warden and that the keys and property must be turned over to him. Perrin again refused to recognize the legality of their action. Perrln had bis counsel present and much discussion followed. It was finally agreed that the matter should be taken Into the Supreme Court, the members of the board applying for a writ of mandate to compel Perrin to deliver possession. This evening Sheriff Agnew went up to the penitentiary, this was at the re quest of Bagley and Gibson - and' with Perrin's consent. It was feared news of the dlfflcultr reaching the prisoners might lead them to make a break. Ackley Is a resident of Boise. He was a guard under Jack Campbell, when the latter was REV. MR.
