BEGINNING OF
UMELINS TIL
Councilman Accused of an At
tempt to Bribe, the ex
City Engineer.
DEFENSE IS TECHNICAL
With the Penitentiary Staring His
qilent in the Face 'Attorney
Wood Says. State Will Be
Shown Courtesy.
VL, E. Rumelln. City Councilman and
money-broker, was on trial yesterday be
fore' Judge Sears. Rumelln Is charged '
with havlnj? offered W. C. Elliott, for
merly the City Engineer, a bribe In con
nection -with the Front-street bridge contract-
Seated close to his attorneys, C.
E. S- TVood and James Gleason, Council
man Rumelln -watched the progress of ob
taining the Jury that was to pass upon his
guilt or innocence with an Interest that
spoke volumes. He chewed nervously
upon a quill toothpick. His forehead
showed a furious frown at the eye
brows, which puckered into a deep wrinkle
that seemed to grip the gold bridge o his
eyeglasses In a manner that gave his face
a harsh expression.
Glances at Each Juror.
From under his overhanging eyebrows
he gave quick and penetrating glances at
each juror as he was called to the jury
box and sworn. The examination of the
veniremen was done by Attorney Gleason.
Rumelln seemed to know many of them,
and often during the examination he
would frequently lean over and whisper
suggestions to Attorney Wood, who, in
turn, would suggest questions to be asked.
When It camo time for the noon adjourn
ment, "five jurors had been selected, and
shortly after 3 o'clock the last of the
12 men were selected. Deputy District
Attorney Bert Haney presented the case
to the jury for the state. He recounted
the story ol the alleged offer of bribery
to Elliott, who was then City Engineer,
of how the original contract for the work
to be done on the Front-street bridge was
let to J. J. Maney, acting for the Pacific
Construction Company, of Everett, Wash.
He explained in detail how Councilman
Rumelln, when he learned that Maney
had been awarded the contract, had gone
to Elliott and demanded to know If there
wasn't some way in which the bid could
be thrown out. Attorney Haney stated
to the jury that It was while Rumelln
was endeavoring to find some flaw with
the Maney contract mat he, Rumelln, had
told Elliott that there was $5000 that would
be divided.
Statement lor Defense.
Following Attorney Haneys statement
to the jury, C. E. S. Wood presented his
side of the case. He began by stating
that an absolute denial would be made of
all the charges by the state, and called
the jury's attention particularly to the
time which had elapsed between the time
that the alleged bribery was attempted
.and the time that the charges were filed
with the District Attorney. Attorney
Wood dwelt at considerable length upon
the fact that It was Rumelln who had in
troduced in the City Council the resolu
tion which called for the investigation
that developed the Tanner-Creek sewer
scandal. While Mr. Wood did not say
that Elliott's charge against Rumelln was
spltework, it was clear that he brought
out this fact to suggest that the bribery
charges against Rumelln was spltework.
Attorney Wood told the jury that the rea
son that Maney was anxious to get rid
of constructing the Front-street bridge
was because he, Maney, had discovered
he had underestimated the work, and that
he learned that the city would make its
payments in warrants that Maney would
have to cash at a great discount.
Auditor Devlin a Witness.
City Auditor T. C. Devlin was the first
witness called, and the trial of Rumelln
was on in earnest- The conviction of R.
M. RIner, a conviction that will have a
salutary effect upon contractors and oth
ers who have been using the city govern
ment as a fruitful field of graft, seemed
to attract a great deal of attention, and
Judge Sears' courtroom was filled with
curious people. They were disappointed
If they thought the trial would go swing
ing on. for District Attorney John Man
ning had hardly put his first question to
the City Auditor before Attorney Wood
was on his feet with an objection. Mr.
Manning had asked the witness what po
sition he held with the city government.
Attorney Wood objected to the question
on the grounds that it was not proper
testimony. He demanded that Devlin pro
duce his certificate of election. This point
was overruled by the court. This was
just the beginning of the objections that
Attorney Wood was to make during the
brief examination of Devlin. It was evi
dent from this that the attorneys for the
defense were going to make a purely tech
nical battle of the trial.
This point showed plainer when Mr.
Manning attempted to offer as evidence
the entire proceedings of. the Executive
Board in connection with the Front-street
bridge. Mr. Manning first wanted to offer
in evidence the original resolution of the
board. Attorney Wood objected to this,
and his objection was sustained by the
court. The attorney for the defense de
manded that if auch evidence was to be
offered it must be certified copies. Mr.
Manning informed the court that such
copies had been made, but were not
signed, and requested permission of the
attorneys for the defense to bo allowed to
make use of the mass of original docu
ments until the certified copies could be
produced. The request met with a prompt
refusal by Attorney v ood, who said
Will Show Xo Courtesy.
"I am not disposed and will not show
any courtesy to the state in this case.
"I dimply asked to be allowed to
do this." said Mr. Manning, "in order
that the trial might not be delayed. It
Is not an unusual request. Other at
torneys have permitted such things."
"I don't care what other attorneys have
done," remarked Attorney Gleason with
some show of spirit. "If other attorneys
try cases in a slipshod manner, there is
ho reason why we should."
This remark seemed to settle matters,
for Mr. Manning asked for a recess so
that th certified copies might be pro
duced. After waiting some time, court
was reconvened in order to permit Whit
ney L. Bole, who was ill and wished to
-go home, to testify. Like Devlin 6 test!
mony, Mr. Boise's testimony collided with
a snag in the form of objections by the
attorneys for the defense.
Deputy District Attorney Haney, who was
conducting the examination, had asked the
witness If he knew whether the Executive
Board had kept & record of a certain
discussion which the Board had held about
the letting of the Front-street bridge con
tract. Mr. Befee said that he believe
not. Attorney Woofis objected to the
anstf&r secfjiee the aaswer was net posi
tive. Mr. Haney attempted to. have the
tMtixwy awwUe with the prevuies.
if it was not borne out by the testimony
of City Auditor Devlin It would he strick
en out.
Wood Proves Obdurate.
Judge Sears tried to straighten out the
tangle, but Attorney Wood was obdurate.
"I will not permit such testimony to go
before the jury." he said, "no matter If
it Is stricken out. The mere fact that It Is
stricken from the records docs not mean
that It will be fonrotten by the jurors.'
Then turning and pointing to Rumelln he
continued: "Nothing but the penitentiary
stands before this man, and I am not
making any concessions."
This broucht the first day's proceedings
of the trial to an abrupt end. Judge Sears
announced from the bench that It was
useless to attempt to examine Mr. Boise
any further and he adjourned his court
until 9:30 o'clock this morning.
The Rumelln case was assigned - to
Judge Sears by Presiding Judge Fraxer.
As soon as the assignment was made C.
E. S. Wpod attempted to have the case
postponed. Rumelln's chief counsel stated
that he had been unable to navo J. J.
Maney, -one of his .principal witnesses,
present. Maney was in Seattle and At
torney Wood wanted time In which to
bring him to Portland. District Attorney
Manning objected to the delay. Mr. can
ning informed the court that he knew
what Maney would testify to because
Maney had been before the grand Jury.
Attorney Wood contended for the post
ponement, but Judge Sears denied the
motion on the ground that tho attorney
for the defense had offered no statuory
grounds for postponing the trial.

BASIS OF A WILL CONTEST
Disposition of Reed Fortune Depends
TJpbn Residence of Testatrix.
The argument on the contestof the will
of the late Amanda "W. Reed will begin
before Judge Webster In the County
Court this morning. -by Judge Gibson, of
Los Angeles, and William M. Gregory for
the contestants, and Joseph Simon and
M. L. Pipes In support of the will. The
amount which the heirs who are contest
ing the will expect to receive from the
estate Is about $400,000. Mr. Gregory yes
terday made the following statement of
the case:
The contest is made upon the ground that
Mrs. Heed at the time of her death was a
resident of the State ot California, and not
of Oregon, as stated in the petition and or
der for probate of the will; and this Is the
question now on trial, and to be argued to
morrow and Saturday.
The due execution of the will is not at
tacked, nor Is undue Influence, or want of
.mental capacity alleged.
It is a general rule of law that the validity
of a will is as to real estate governed by the
law of the place where the real estate lies,
but as to personal property by the law of
the domicile of the testator.
In California there is a law making void
charitable bequest in excess of one-third of
the estate of the decedent. The object In
establishing the fact that Mrs. Heed was a
resident of California is In order that this
California law may apply so far as the per
sonal property is concerned.
The total value ot the estate appraised In
Oregon is In round numbers: Real prop
erty 5800.000: personal property, (000,000;
total. $1,400,000.
There Is directly Involved then, ir we
make no deductions for expenses ot admin
istration or non-charitable bequests, two
thirds of $600,000. or $400,000. The non
charltable bequests amount to about $240,500
and the executor's fees will amount to about
JS0.000.
It will probably be contended that the
legacies and expenses ot administration
should be paid out of the personal property,
and Jf that be the rule adopled there would
be received by the contestants from the
estate inventoried In Oregon In case of ulti
mate success somewhere in the neighborhood
of $120,000.
I should add that It Is contended on be
half of the executor that the common law,
according to which the law of the domicile
Eoverns the validity of wills so far as per
sonal property Is concerned Is not the law
In Oregon, but ha been changed by stat
ute: but m I understand It that question
will be raised later when the question of the
distribution of the funds of the estate is be
"fore the court.
In view of the fact that the number of
residents of Oregon who own property In
California Is greater than the number of
Callfornlans who own personal property in
Oregon, it may be of interest to you to know
that the California courts have expressly de
cided that the validity or non-validity of
wills of personal property situated In Cali
fornia, but left by a non-resident decedent
Is controlled by the law of the domicile ot
the testator.

RELEASED FROM THE SHOALS
Cunurder Caronla Is Again Safely
Afloat.
NEW YORK, May IS. After lying for
SS hours firmly embedded in the sandy
bottom of Flynn's Knoll, the shoal 3&
miles off Sandy Hook, the giant Cunard
liner Caronla was floated today, just as
the wreckers were beginning to lose hope
that the steamer would be released unless
a portion of her cargo were removed. As
the big ship glided into deep water and
swung slowly half around, apparently
uninjured by the mishap, a cheer went
up from the passengers, who tiad been
involuntary prisoners almost within sight
of the New Tork docks since Tuesday
last. They had begun to chafe under
their prolonged stay on the sand bar, and
many had almost abandoned hope that
the voyage would be continued without
t.e further annoying delay that trans
shipping would involv,-
The Caronla came off the shoal with
her stern pointing out to sea, and at once
started to steam back toward the city.
It was supposed that this was because
the narrow, ship channel did not afford
sufficient room for the big steamer to
swing around, and It was believed that
she would run up to Gravesend Bay and
once more turn her nose toward the sea
and again begin the long-delayed voyage
acrofs the Atlantic. On arriving at the
entrance to the Narrows, more than a
mile off Sea Gate, the Caronla stopped
and for some time lay still, without at
tempting to turn. Whether her hesi
tancy and return was due to some Injury
not apparent above water line was not
clear. 1
The Caronla struck on the bar during
the dense fog, Tuesday afternoon. The
steamer was passing out of the main
ship channel through the thick mist when
another big liner and a- coasting schooner
loomed up in the fog almost in her path.
In his effort to avoid a collision, the Ca
ronla's pilot ventured too near the shoals
and the steamer ran hard and fast
aground.

T
Theaters Have That Right,
Says -Judge Frazer.
COLORED MAN LOSES SUIT
Brought Action Against the Star
Theater, hut Court Holds That
Playhouses Have .Right to
Exclude Either Race.
A theater ticket is a revokable license,
and the purchaser can be refused admis
sion and the money paid for the ticket
refunded. The purchaser Is also entitled
to receive his expenses, such as car fare,
hack fare, or other necessary expenditure
Judge Frazer rendered this decision yes
terday In the suit of Oliver Taylor against
S. Morton Cohn, manager of the Star
Theater to recover J5000 damages. Taylor
Is a colored man and Is a Pullman car
conductor. The Star Theater refused to
allow him and his friends to occupy
box seats. According to the decision a
ticket may be revoked whether sold to a
white or colored person.
The decision Is of more than ordinary
interest, and It is the first time In the
State of Oregon where a court has so held
following the weight of legal authorities
throughout the United States.
When Taylor presented his tickets for
box seats the usher Informed him that
It was against the rules of the house
to allow colored people to occupy box
seats and offered to exchange the seats
for others In the body of the theater.
Taylor declined, and with his party left
the place. Feeling humiliated and cha
grined he iued Cohn for damages.
The court In deciding the case against
Taylor said ttiat the Iaw seemed well
settled that a theater ticket was nothing
more than a license, and as such execu
tory revokable, and the holder of the
ticket who was refused admission could
only suffer breach of contract and recover
damages actually sustained. This doctrine
the court said applied alike to all people,
and the mere fact that Taylor happened
to be colored did not In any way affect
the question. The rights of the purchaser
were the same whether white or colored
One court In Pennsylvania had attempted
to maTte a distinction between a ticket of
general admission and a ticket for a
designated and particular seat, but this
was an Isolated case and against the uni
versal doctrine. Judge Frazer said he
felt Inclined to, and did, disregard It.
McCant Stewart, himself a colored man,
who appeared for Taylor, took ten days'
time to decide upon his future course In
the case.
Alex Bernstein, who appeared for the
defense says he regards the decision, If
affirmed on appeal, as of great importance
"to the proprietors of theaters and the
public, as it definitely fixes their status
and their rights.

You Must
Sleep.
If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state oS
the brain, which will soon d en
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of unconsciousness relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore ex
hausted vitality.
Dr. Miles' Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re
moves the congestion.
It is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev
ery nerve in your body, and
creates energy in all the organs.
Nothing will give . strength
and 'vitality as surely and
quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine.
"During the past winter I had two
attacks of Laurippe which left me
very weak, and In bed condition. I
was so nervous I could not sleep. My
wife, after trying different remedies,
went for a doctor. The doctor was
out. and a neighbor recommended Dr.
Miles' Nervine, and she brought home
a botUe. I had not slept for some time,
and had terrible pains in my head.
After takings a few doses of Nervine
the pain was not so severe, and I
slept. I am now takine the second
bottle, and am very much improved."
