CAMPBELL' DUNCAN TALKS Declares That Congressman Wllllam , son Sold He Would Get Even With Adverse Witnesses at JKis Trial. Have the defendants in the Wllllamson-Gesaer-BlCTS case tried to Intimidate tho' wltneseas for the government? According- to the testimony of Campbell A. Dun can, brought out yesterday morning by District Attorney Heney. and unshaken toy the croes-examlnatlon of Mr. Bennett, the effort has been made. For the flrnt time In the course of the third trtal the spirit of emotionalism was lntrduced jaeterday morning, when Duncan tola of hie visit ir Representative Williamson la his rooms at the Imperial Hotel, and etatod that the visit had been pnmpted .by the adviet and request of Attorney Barnos, of Pnnevillc, who has figured as e silent shadow dunng the three trials. Campbell A. Duncan, who has b;n on vmpieye of he firm of Williamson & Geoner for an Indefinite length of tlm.u mzti who was employed to do worc evm oftcr le htd appeared before the rrrand Jttrv with his tesLramy A damaging to ihc cause ot the defense, was the first w4tncsfi of the day. He was called In the nwrnlng and the afternoon found him st1H upon the stand. Brings Out New Points. The witness gave much the same testi mony as at the first and the second trials, though there were one or two more points brought out. owing to the more lenient ruling of Judge. Hunt than were put in evidence at the first and second trials. One statement of importance and one that will perhaps play an Important jwjt in the settlement of the case, was made by the witness, who told of having 3tad a conversation with Marion R. Biggs In which Biggs stated that while no writ tea contract could be made between Ges ner and the applicants for timber lands, yet an understanding could be reached by which the claimants could know that yey would be able to sell their claims t the firm of Williamson & Gemer at a ptatod figure, as roon as tlUe had been gained from the government. Second Point Sensational. The second point and the one sensa tienal, related to a visit made by the wit ness to the rooms of Mr. Williamson at the Imperial Hotel. According to the sUry that was told by Duncan, Barnes the attornoy from Prlneville, had come te aim during or before the first trial and told him that the defense would like to know what his testimony would be whoa he was called to the stand, and it was suggestod to him that he go to see cither Bennett or Wllllamsop. The wlt tw had not done this, so he said, be cause Neuhausen, one of the government officials, had advised him that to do so would be liable to place him In an em barrassing position upon the witness stand, as tho defense would in all prob ability bring witnesses to swear that he had made different statements to the de fense than those made upon the stand od under the questioning of the gov ernment. Later, however, Duncan, so he said, went to the room of Mr. Williamson, at the Imperial Hotel, to see about some money that was due him for services rendered. At the room he had met Wil liamson. Gamer and Bennett and after pome preliminary talk the discussion had turned to the trial and to the testimony that had been given. Threatened lo Get Even. Mr. Williamson had seemed to be dis turbed at what had been said during the trial by the witnesses and asked Duncan what was the, matter with them. He had said that they seemed to him like some wild animal waiting for Its prey and crouched to spring on Its victim. Wil liamson had also said that the witnesses feoemed to have It In for him and that they had "throwed it Into him" in their testimony. Mr. Bennett had come into the room and the conversation about this time and had asked Duncan what was the trouble with George N. Gaylord and WHford J. Craln, two witnesses who had JBt finished their testimony, and Duncan 3 tad said that perhaps they were mad at the Judgo. Mr. Williamson, however, paid that he would get even with the wit nesses referred to as having thrown It Jut him, that he expected to live in the name country. BenrVctt had said that Craln and Gaylord could not be angry as they had started their damaging testi mony from the first, before they had any occasion to be vexed at anything that was said or done. Rigid Cross-Examination. Outside of this testimony the case was much the same as at the first and second trials. Duncan told about the same story and underwent a rigid cross-examination without varying from the testimony given at the two former trials in any particular feature. He said that he had been ad vised to file upon the timber claim and had been promised $500 for it as soon as he had secured title. He had taken it, as he had promised to do, but had re linquished It upon the advice of Gesner, who had told him that he could not let him have the money to prove up. According to the story told by the wit ness, he had met Biggs at Prlneville lifter he had been before the grand Jury the first time, and had been asked If he was not afraid he would be Indicted. He had denied being afraid and Biggs had said that there was liability of the gov crnment bringing another Indictment against him. What Gesner Said. Duncan also told of havinir had a con vorsatlon with Gesner after the grand jury investigation and while he was at work building fence for the Arm. Gesner had told him. so Duncan said, that The Oregonlan had it in for Williamson on account of the Senatorial contest of 1503 and that at tho time of tho contest some one connected with the paper had bad a discussion with Williamson .about the Senatorial fight during which Williamson had 'said he would go to Congress for two years at least in spite of hell and The Oregonlan. Tho witness said that he had tried to locate people upon the claim he had re linquished, but that owing to its poor quality he had not been able to find any one who would take It. Duncan and GaylorA Testify. After Duncan had concluded his testi mony the government called Frank Ray to tne stana, wno torn tne same story that he had related twice before. He said that Gesner had told him he ought to take up a timber claim and that the firm of Williamson & Gesner would give him S500 for it when he had secured title to It from the government Biggs had asked him, after the Investigation began, to say that .no contract bad been made with the defendants. If the question waa brought up while he was before the grand Jury. George N. Gaylord. of S wee tho me, was the next witness. He testified that he had filed upon a Umber claim In 1902 at the suggestion of John Watklns, who had been told by the defendants to secure all the people he could. Biggs had told him that there was $75 in it for him if he took the claim. The descriptions of the land had been given him by Williamson. and Biggs had explained to him that the, 575 which .he was to get would satisfy the clause in the application which pro vided that he was to take the land for his own exclusive ubc and benefit. The witness further stated that he had In tended to deed the land to Williamson and Gesner as soon as he had secured title to It from the government. Gaylord also told of having gone to the office of Williamson and Gesner in Prlneville where he had met- both Mr. Williamson and Dr. Gesner, and had been advised to relinquish by them, though they had said that it might be possible that the claims could be taken up again after the Hitchcock scare bad died down a little. At the conclusion of Gaylord's testi mony the court was adjourned until S:S0 o'clock this momlng. TEMPERANCE CONGRESS. Several Societies Join in the Pro gramme as Outlined.

In an effort to break up the practice of selling liquor to minors. Judge Frazer yesterday issued warrants for' the arrest of John T. Stevens. J. A. Busby, D. T. McCartney, Charles Looney and J. H. Johnson. Stevens is a bartender in the employ ot Joseph Penny, on East Mor rison street, and the others are saloon keepers on the East Side- The accused were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Parrott and Grussi, and were released on bail. McCartney. Looney and Busby are charged with selling liquor to Thomas MORE LUMBER THAN ANY PORT IN THE UNITED STATES IN and Charles Boggers. William Nelson, George Giles and C P. Burke, young men about IS years old each. Recently. Thomas Boggees and Peterson were ar rested for burglary, and pleaded guilty. They were paroled during good behavior. They and companions frequented saloons on East Morrison street, and an effort will be made to punish the saloonkeepers. Stevens Is accused of selling whisky to M. Shumaker, a boy, 18 years old. Penny, his emploj'er, was tried and acquitted on this charge last week because the tesU mony'dl8Closed that the whisky was sold by the bartender, and not Penny. These prosecutions will be conducted under the state law, and Robert F. Galloway will appear as special prosecutor. It Is -possible, under the state law, for the court to revoke the license of a saloonkeeper convicted of selling liquor to a minor, as the Supreme Court has rendered a de cision In the matter as follows: "A city, under its charter, has exclusive authority to grant licenses for the sale of liquor within Its JlmltB, but It cannot grant license on conditions which violate theNstate law. And a violation of this secUon within an Incorporated town will subject the license of the person eo vio lating it to forfeiture." WILL RUN ABOVE GELILO V STEAMER COLTJ3IBIA TO CARRY WHEAT TO PORTAGE ROAD. Owners Fast Getting: Vessel in Shape. Steamer Jerome May Bo Raised. W. J. Merimer and John Smith, owners ot the small river steamer Columbia, givo out the information that they will soon have the boat carrying wheat from points along the Upper Columbia to Celllo. The sinking of the steamer Jerome & few days ago has not deterred them, and Just as soon as their boat is ready they will put her in commission. The boat hag a gross tonnage of 159 tons, is 77 fret long, 20.4 fc'et beam and 3.6 feet depth of hold. She Is comparatively a new steamer, having been built In 1502. This will materially help the wheat situation In that, locality, and will give the Portage. rail road some work to do. and, if the raising of the steamer Jerome is successful, the two steamers will move large quantities of wheat this Fall. Captain EL U. Baughman, who Is now on the Telephone here, says he sees no reason for the Jerome to sink where she did. unless she was loaded too heav ily, and it she had on 1000 bushels ot wheat, as reported at the time she sank, he is . positive she was overloaded, for those waters. IfHhls is the case, and the boat is raised, the owners will prob ably take good care she does not go out again with more than she can safely carry through those waters.

IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE Commercial High School One of the Institutions Which May Be come a Part of Portland's Educational Plans. The feature of Jthe proceedings at the meeting of the City Bpard of Edu catloa last night was tho announce ment that 'the time was fast approach ing; when a commercial system of edu cation would be one of the branches taught In the Portland High School. Director Wittenberg was strongly In favor of the Idea, and said all the im portant cities of the country had gone bo far as to establish commercial high schools. Most of the other direc tors coincided with his views, al- AUGUST The though it was quite generally conceded that the finances of the public schools would play an Important part In the matter. Considerable discussion ensued con cerning the crowded condition of the different school buildings, it being- ad mitted that the question has become a serious problem. Beyond arranging for supplying seats for 'two vacant rooms In the Atkinson school to ac commodate the overflow, from the High School, and assigning- several portable structures to relievo the congestion at different points, no definite actton was taken, although It is probable a spe cial meeting of tho Board will be re quired soon to canvass the situation. Highland School's Record. It is claimed that the Highland School has made the greatest record of any In the matter of Increase In at tendance, three years ago having: only four rooms, while now 20 are required to accommodate the pupils. Resignations were received from two teachers in the department. Their places will be supplied by the Board later. Miss Lena Hadoway. of the Haw thorne School, and for the past eight years a local teacher, was married re cently and quit her position in conse quence, while Miss Katherlno A E. Franklin, ot the Chapman School, hart decided to remain abroad a- year longer. Bids will be opened September 20 for the construction of the basement to the East Side High School. By that time It Is thought the specifications wil also be ready. Architect Jones report ed that the block has been graded for construction work on the edlllce. Matters relating- to the heads of de partments of the High School will form the subject of a special meeting In the near future. Subject of Domestic Science. The question of domestic science In the department also received consider ation. Director Williams being of the opinion that the scheme was nonsen sical. He stated also that the depart ment of manual training was a dis appointment, and that Principal Gregg agreed with him. Both Director Wittenberg- and Superintendent Rlgler took Issue with him on the proposition and thought that Mr. Gregg ought to be disciplined. Wittenberg- moved that the various principals be required to submit written reports to the Board reflecting their views on the subject of manual training, but admitted that two-thirds of the studies could be STRONGER THAN MEAT A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts. A gentleman who has acquired a judic ial turn of mind from experience on the bench out In the Sunflower State, writes a carefully considered opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts as food. He says: "For the past five years Grape-Nuts has been a prominent feature In our bill of fare. "The crisp food with tbe delicious, nutty flavor, has become, an Indispensable necessity In my family's everyday life. "It has proved to be most healthful and beneficial, and has enabled us to practical ly abolish pastry and pies from our table, for the children prefer Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and unwholesome food. "Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect physical condition as a preventive of disease it is beyond yalue. I have been particularly Impressed by the beneficial effects of Grape-Nuts when used by ladies who are troubled with face blem ishes, skin eruptions, etc It clears up the complexion wonderfully. "As to Its nutritive qualities, my ex perience Is that one small dish of Grape Nuts is superior to a pound of meat for breakfast, which is an Important consid eration for anyone. It satisfies the ap petite ana strengthens tne power of re sisting: fatigue. wu.xe its use Involves none of the disagreeable consequences that sometimes follow a meat breakfast."

Houston Post Bureau, 926-7 Colorado Bulldinff. Washington. March 2a A delegation of Cuban Planters waited on th president today to secure his aid toward a pro hibitive duty on Cuban Vuelta sprouts, now Im ported into the United States and raised In Texas, into a tariff tobacco leaf. This delegation represents a newly formed organization, calllnsr Itself the Tobacco Growers' Association, with headauarteraat Havana. The Cubans pointed out the Inroads that American Vuelta tobacco is alreadx-maklnir in their exports, especially with the duty against them. They showed how a certain large New York cigar firm, the largest independent factory in the country, is steadily importing vuelta sprouts In place of seeds, transplanting these to a certain part ot Texas, where soil and climate are pecullarlly similar to that ot the Vuelta Abaio district cf Cuba. Hun dreds of acres haTe been planted in Texas. It was said, and from these there have been obtained thousands of pounds of tobacco, satd to be identical in every way with the native Cuban leaf. The home-grown product being tariff free, la made Into a 5-cent cigar, while Cuban high tariff tobacco could not be made into a cigar to sell at 5 cents. The Cubans claim that such competition is ruinous and unfair and in violation of reciprocity treaties. Jealous rivals could not have given Rstronger endorsement of American Vuelta tobacco, the filler now used exclusively in the Tom Keene cigar. The fact that Bondy & Lederer are still selling this brand at 5c naturally has frightened the plant ers and users of Cuban vuelta tobacco, on which there is a very heavy tariff. The Tom Keene has that same aromatic vuelta taste characteristic of the finest cigars, and never found in ordinary seed growth tobaccos. Try one, if you are a judge of cigars, and then you will know.
