THE 3IORXiyGr OKKGOXIAy, PRI-DAY, JULY 28, 1905. - S DEFENQSH1SCRQWN King George, of Friendly Isl ands, Will Not Quit. APPEALS TO KING EDWARD Resists Plans of English Merchants to Depose Him Many Troubles of L.argc Fat King of SohUi Seas. SAN FRANCISCO. July 27. (Special.) After the manner of the Germans In the Caroline Islands, the English residents of the Friendly group in the South Seas are trying to oust the native King and secure absolute control of affairs. The schooner William Olsen. arriving today from the Friendly Islands, brings a story of an attempt of the Englishmen to take charge of the government, and of the re sistance of the native king, George Tabud 11. Some years ago ah Englishman named Baker, who had gained residence in the Friendly group and become a power among the natives, was elevated to the position of Premier. Baker died a few years ago, and since then the English merchants and other residents of the group have yearned for supreme author ity over the islands. Appeals to Kins' Edward. The Englishmen approached King George Tabu II with a proposition to abdicate and enjoy an annual pension of $12,000, or take the alternative of exile to South Africa without a pension. The King, who had enjoyed the companion ship of Baker, the clever English Pre mier, had "become too well educated In modern diplomacy, however, and after brief consideration, declined to accept the offer. So he packed his Saratoga and dress suit case, placed his crown in the safety deposit vault, and, with his constitution In his pocket, took steamer for New Zealand, where he hopes to find a friend to plead his cause at the court of Edward VII. . Has Many Royal Troubles. George II has found the King business little but a trial arid tribulation. Shortly after he ascended, the throne, the keeper of the royal treasury skipped out with most of the movable assets of the king dom. That would have been bad enough, but the defaulter took with him the royal navj which was found later wrecked on a nearby coral reef. King George II is probably the largest monarch in the world. He Is 32 years old. stands more than six feet high and weighs over 300 pounds. He Is said to have been a very good King of the Friendly Islands. He is a native, but Is classed as i. good fellow, fairly well educated and as a man who would pass In goodVcompany anywhere in the world. Mr. Biggs since" this trial began?" asked Mr. Heney. The witness admitted it. Miss Vandcrpool at last admitted that Biggs had said something about her get ting J75 for the clalm"if she took one, and that she had .gained the ImpresVlon some way that Gesner was to furnish the money for all expenses. Following this. Mr. Heney asked to rctd portions of Mr. Williamson's testimony given at tne first trial, which he was al lowed -to do after some argument with the court Miss Hemming, the court stenographer, was asked to read from her notes, several parts of the testimony, be ing those portions in particular relating to the visit of Williamson to Princville In June, and to the negotiation of the 36000 loan at The Dalles. Irvin RIttenhouse, the secretary to Mr. Heney, was next called and told the gist of both Williamson's and Biggs' testi mony In regard to Williamson's visit to Prineville in June, and to the conversa tion between Williamson and Biggs in re gard to the filing of the former upon bis timber claim. Effort to Locate Starr. W. J. Burns, secret service agent, told of having made an effort to secure the attendance of Ernest Starr as a witness, and of his failure. This was done, so Mr. Heney announced, in order that the prosecution would show effort, and could have the opportunity of putting the wit ness upon the stand, should he be brought Into court at any time prior to the com mencement of argument. Mr. Heney closed his case at 3:30. and the defense wished to adjourn,' but Judge De Haven ordered the case to proceed. The attorneys therefore began by reading the testimony of the Government wit nesses as given at both trials, announc ing that It would be the intention of the defense to Impeach the testimony of the witnesses on account of many errors and misstatements made at the present trial, as compared with what had been testified at the first hearing. Mr. Bennett announced Jhat the defense would in all probability be able to close its case either this evening or by Satur day noon. It is a geenral supposition that the defense will be closed this morning without hearing the testimony of the defendants. DEFENSE BEGINS ITS CASE (Continued From First Pare.) asked Mr. Heney. The witness re sponded that they were not enemies. "That is not my question,' suggested Mr. Heney. "'Well." said Miss Vanderpool. "I know them and am friendly with them." The witness stated that she had taken a claim in August, 1902. and that prior to that time she had met Biggs and had a conversation with him in regard to taking the land, at which time he had said something about her being able to make $75 out of the transac tion. The witness could not remember what had been said, however, and did not think that either Williamson's or Gesner's name had been mentioned. "Now, Miss Vanderpool," said Mr. Heney, "did you have a talk with Mr. Williamson and Judge Bennett at their rooms in the Imperial not long ago?" The witness stated that she had called upon them there. "Did they tell you not to answer any questions put to you in court, or If you did not want to answer them, to say that you did not remember?" The black eyes of the witness blazed down at the questioner. "No, sir," she said, most emphatically. "They didn't tell you that you could get out of the questions by saying that you did not remember?" persisted Mr. Heney. The lady entered a most emphatic denial. "Haven't you been to the theater with SEEK TH E J 0 D EES HIP Candidates Many Since Cotton Has Refuseo. WHERE THEIR STRENGTH IS POLICE RULE AT DELMAR ARMED WITH RIFLES THEY PREVENT ALIi BETTING. They Guard the Betting Ring and Telegraph "Wire Grkndstand Almost Empty. ST. LOUIS. July 27.-The fifth dally In vasion of the Delmar racetrack by the police was made today In accordance with Governor Folk's Instructions, to see that the anti-poolselltng law was not violated. Captain McNamee, who has commanded the police forces on previous occasions, was absent from the city, having been summoned to Jefferson City to confer with the Governor, and Lieutenant Mc Kenna led the police through the gates today. The races had barely started, and the attendance was small, the grand stand being practically deserted. Twelve officers carrying rifles were sta tioned in the betting ring. Beyond their presence and the presence of a few spec tators perched on stools as vantage places from which to view the races, the 'betting ring was deserted. A small crowd had assembled with oustomary regularity to see the police march Into the track, and 12 mounted police remained near the gate to preserve quiet. No arrests were made. The only feature, of today's proceedings was the placing of A. E. Brendle, chief telegraph operator to Chief of Police Kleley. near the desks of the telegraph office to listen to messages sent during the races. He was instructed to make a report to the Chief later. Must Not Try Policemen. JEFFERSON CITY. July 27.Judge Marshal, of the State Supreme Court, to day Issued a writ of prohibition against Justice of the Peace Stobie and Constable Lenz, of St. Louis County, prohibiting them from arresting and trying the St. Louis city policemen for whom warrants have been issued on charges of trespass ing in breaking Into the inclosure at the Delmar racetrack, which is situated in St. Louis County. The writ Is made re turnable at the October term of court. Those "Who Would Be Willing to Serve In the Place Made Vacant by the Death of Judge Bellinger. The scramble for the District Judgeship has begun afresh, since W. W. Cotton threw away the plum, and aspirants for the Job are slanting their eyes toward Clatsop County, where dwells Senator Fulton, and toward the third floor of the Federal Courthouse, where holds forth District Attorney Francis J. Heney. That Mr. Fulton and Mr. Heney have the strongest pull of anybody In Oregon lu the selection of the new Judge Is realized by all the candidates, and all are anxious to know whether Heney and Fulton will pull together, and If they shall not, whoso "drag" of the two, with- the Administra tion, will count for the most. It was one of Senator Fulton's chief concerns, before Mr. Cotton was selected. to sec that a- man of his own choosing should get the place. Now that the ques tion is reopened. Senator Fulton's friends see the need of his bestirring himself anew, that he may secure appointment of a man of his own choosing, and thus give pcoof to his constituents of his Influence at Washington. The candidates were looking for the Senator to come up from Astoria yesterday, that they might get his car. What part Mr. Heney will. take in the matter Is not yet manifest His veto to any man's appointment. It is generally believed, would hold with the Administra tion and kill off that man's candidacy. Had he had cause to send in a veto against Mr. Cotton, the latter roan would probably not have been chosen, for the President undoubtedly has full confidence In Mr. Honey's Judgment. It is under stood that Mr. Heney neither supported nor opposed Mr. Cotton, and It does not: appear that he has put in a "hand up to this time. The candidates were very busy yester day. Among the foremost aspirants are K. s. Bean and C. EL Wolvcrton. mem bers of the Oregon Supreme Court, each of whom Is said to have been favorably mentioned In the report of Charles H. Robb, assistant to the Attorney-General, who was sent here to size up the candi dates. Senator Fulton prefcrsT. A. Me- Bride, member of the State Circuit Court, on account of friendship and McBride's recognized Judicial attainments, but for reasons of politics and McBride's age, 5S years, he Is understood not to have ex pectcd his appointment. The President desires to appoint a man between 40 and SO years of age. Other candidates are: Ralph W. Wilbur, whose hopes are en couraged by i college friendship with Charles H. Robb: and L. R. Webster. County Judge of Multnomah. Still others arc: E. B. Watson, ex-member of the Oregon Supreme Court: John L. Rand, of Baker City: Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton: Henry E.
