JASPER MAKES NO SIGN
District Attorney Hcamcs Makes Xo
jMcntion of Alleged Confession

at the Trial.
W. G. MACRAE.
GRANT'S PASS. Or.. Jan. 12. (Staff
correspondence.) Jasper Jennlnps and
the 12 rrien who will decide his fate today
look a Journey to Granite Hill, the scene
of the murder of N. M. Jennings, father
of Jasper and Cora Jennings. Thursday
afternoon the jury was selected, and In
order that they might familiarize them
selves with the conditions and the loca
tion where the murder took place. Dis
trict Attorney Reames took the Jurymen
to the scene of the crime. The day was
not a pleasant one. The rain fell In tor
rents, and when the Jury, the prisoner
and the District Attorney returned to
Grant's Pass they were a sorry sight-
Jasper Jennings, who is being tried for
the murder of his father, passed through
the ordeal without a sign of emotion.
TVIth the jury, he visited the hut In
which his father was murdered and went
to the grave which holds the remains of
his father. Through it all he passed like
a man In a trance, and by no word or
sign did he display the slightest indica
tion of remorse or fear. His poise was
remarkable, and if the taking of Jasper
Jennings to the place where his father
was shot and killed was done for the
purpose of breaking him down it failed of
Its purpose.
District Attorney Reames in his open
ing statement did not make use of the
alleged confession Jasper is credited with
having made, accusing his sister Dora
with having killed her father. In his
opening argument to the jury nothing
was said of this statement, and it is
evident that the prosecution will endeavor
to prove that there was collusion be
tween brother and sister in the murder
of their father. One thing is sure, the
prosecution has made a strong case
against Jasper and it is the feeling here
that he will be found guilty.
Tomorrow the triarwill be on in earn
est. While there are a great many wit
nesses to be heard it will not take long
to get in their testimony. Just as soon
as the trial of Jasper is concluded the
trial of Dora, his sister, will be taken
tip. In order to secure a jury in this
case a large number of jurors will be
summoned. W. G. M.
STATE AXD ROADWAY FIGHT
Xorth Coast Conflicts With Survey of
Highway Commissioner.
OLTMPIA. "Wash., -Jam: rl2. (Spe
cial.) A controversy is likely toarlsc
between the state and the North Coast
railroad over the occupancy of about
seven miles" of -'the Na'chez River can
yon, J3 miles abovf North Yakima.
3atc information received by Highway
Commissioner Snow shows that the
North Coast survey Jn the canyon over
laps the state road, which occupies what
Is believed to be the only feasible route
through it. The road which is overlapped
"by the railroad company's survey is a
.portion of the Cowlitz Pass state road,
and has already been constructed. There
is apparently no other route where the
North Coast could rebuild the wagon
road as the Milwaukee proposes to do
in Snoqualmie Pass.
The North Coast, in addition to sur
veying through the canyon, has di
verged at the mouth of the Tieton be
fore reaching the point In conflict.
There arc rumors of the discovery of a
Tieton Pass by the railroad lower than
any other in the Cascades, but tha
Highway Commissioner, who is famil
iar with the topography of the coun
try, doos not credit the report.
While termed the Cowlitz Pass road,
the state highway in question really
oes through the Carleton Pass, and
it is believed that it is this pass the
North Coast will utilize.
BUREAU WILL PLAY FAIR.
Oregon Sheepmen Will Get Their
Share of Grazing Land.
PENDLETON. Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.)
The Umatilla County Woolgrowers
Association, which at a recent meet
ing adopted resolutions claiming: un
fairness In t,he matter of allotments to
stockmen on the Wenaha reserve, has
taken up the question with Senator
C. W. Fulton at Washington. The as
sociation alleges that Oregon sheepmen
have been discriminated against in the
division of the range without cause.
Today D. P. Smythe, secretary of the
association, received a telegram from
Senator Fulton which is as follows:
"The Forestry Bureau officials state
that the allotments fof- the range In
Wenaha reserve have not yet been re
ported but they assure me they will
not sanction the allotment of the range
In Oregon to Washington stockmen except
Insofar as it may be to graze In either
.state in the vicinity of the line. It Is
the judgment of the bureau that about
half of the Wenaha reserve should be
assigned to Oregon and half to Wash
ington. " - .

Ruling Affects Fishermen.
ASTORIA, Or.. Jan. 12. (Special.) In re
sponse to a request from County Clerk
Clinton, District Attorney Allen has ren
dered an opinion in which he holds that
an alien minor has the right to declare
his intention of becoming a citizen. Si
far as the elective franchise Is concerned,
the ruling in, of course, of no conse
quence, as a minor cannot vote.
The laws of Oregon and Washington
provide, however, that applicants for fil
ing licenses must be citizens of tjtc states,
and the rules 'governing Government work
are that all employes must either be citi
zens of the country or have declared their
Intention to become such. Thus many
minors who have desired to follow these
vocations have "been confronted with a
serious obstacle, which the ruling of Dis
trict Attorney Allen will remove.

Two -Score Workmen Have
Battle With Death.
CAUGHT IN A BIG GALE
Dredger and Consorts Are Aban
doned In Perilous Position by
Tug Sea Ro.vcr After Dcs
. pcrate Struggle.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. li-Struggllng
desperately all night against the terrific
southeast gale that swept up the coast
yesterday afternoon, the tug Sea Rover
clung to a dredger and two lighters,
upon which were 25 workmen bound for
San Pedro, until she was beaten back
In the seething breakers on Duxbury
Reef, and was compelled to abandon the
unwieldy craft and their human freight.
The tugs Sea Rover. Liberty and Sea
Queen left here yesterday with the
dredger and lighters In tow for San Pe
dro, where the North American Dredging
Company Had taken the contract .to deep
en the Inner harbor. Soon after getting
outside, the wind rose and there was a
heavy swell running. The combined ef
forts of the lugs was necessary to keep
the three scows from fouling the light
ship. Despite this fact. the Sea Queen and
Liberty left the 8ca Rover alone to start
on the Journey south. They came In last
night and reported all well with their con
sort. Soon after dark It became apparent
that the position of the four craft was
extremely critical. It was proposed to
cut the hawsers and run for it? leaving
the scows to their fate. But Captain
Fitchworth. of the Sea Rover, would not
hear to glxing up as long as there was
hope, and continued the struggle against
the storm until daylight, when the sea
men saw they were between Double Point
and Duxbury Reef, and that a disaster
was Inevitable.
Before leaving her charges, however,
the Sea Rover succeeded in saving eight
of the men on the barges, several of
whom jumped into the sea and swam to
the tug. One or two were seriously but
not fatally Injured. The other 27 men suc
ceeded in reaching the shore of Bollnas
Bay in small boats, which were carried
on the dredger and lighters.
The Sea Rover returned this afternoon
to the scene of the accident, in an en
deavor to save from total loss the dredg
er, valued at $100,000. and the lighters,
each of which Is worth from J13.0CO
to 520.000.

ORCHARD M HAVE ALIBI
DEFENSE OF SUSPECT THOUGHT
TO BE ABSENCE.
Sullivan, the Denver Attorney, Is
Civil Lawyer and Will Not
Take Criminal Case.
BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 12. (Special.)
James McParlan. the Pinkcrton manager
from Denver, makes an Interesting state
ment respecting J. J. Sullivan, the Den
ver attorney who slopped to see Harry
Orchard at CaldwelL Sullivan, he says,
is not a criminal lawyer, but has a large
civil business attending to the Interest
of a number of prominent Colorado min
ing men in Nevada and at other points.
He is a man of much ability and Is a
graduate of Harvard. When he settled
in Denver he was given a position In the
office of Wolcott & Valle, and afterward
set up for himself.
During his residence there Mr. McPar
lan has seen much of him and looks
upon him as a man of first-class ability.
Nobody would think of employing hlrn
In a criminal case, he says, as his forte
Is the civil law. The famous detective
has a theory respecting the reason for
Sullivan's visit to Caldwell, but It does
not Involve any connection with the case
of the man accused of murder. If his
theory is correct he says Sullivan wished
to see Orchard for the purpose of having
no connection whatever with the charge
lodged against him.
Captain Swain, in charge of the detec
tive work, states he has reason to be
lieve the defense in the Orchard case will
attempt to prove-an alibi.
Joseph Hutchinson Is the only Boise
witness to be called by the prosecution
In the preliminary examination, and It
is hinted that his testimony will be the
most important to be offered against
Orchard. Mr. Hutchinson was one of the
first men on the scene of the tragedy.
He worked hard and faithfully to sojve
;the mystery of the murder and accumulat
ed the first evidence of any weight against
Orchard. Tt was by his advice that
Orchard was first detained and finally
arrested on a definite charge, and It was
through Mr. Hutchinson's efforts that the
suspected man's room was searched ana
his effects examined.
Sheriff Nichols has been very much
annoyed by the occasional rumors that
Orchard would probably be taken t
Boise for safer keeping. He says that be
Is the only officer working on the case
who is under bonds that he is directly re
sponsible for the custody of the prisefter,
aa4 that sues feelag the ce, he is g-
Ing to insist on keeping Orchard where
he can watch him. Orchard Is reported
to be seemingly In first-class spirits. The
approach of his examination seems to
have no -effect toward making him ner
vous and gloomy. Whether or not he
realizes the amount of Incriminating evi
dence ,a gainst him is not known, but he
still persists that his Innocence will be
finally proven. Jail life seems to agree
with him physically. He has lost no flesh
since his confinement. His appetite is
good and he seems to relish what has
been put before him.

Great Decrease In Oriental Tonnage
Is Noted by Taconia and
Seattle Millers.
TACOMA. Wash.. Jan. 12. (Special.)
Inquiry, among millers and steamship
men develops the tact that the Cnlnese
boycott is now in full force and Its
effects arc being' generally felt along
the Coast. Manufacturers of flour have
been first to have their business cur
tailed. Owners of steamers plying to
the Orient are affected because of the
decreased shipments, of flour, which
heretofore lias been one of the principal
articles of export to China from Ta
conia. For the past few months Chinese
cargoes have been falling off rapidly
and although some flour Is still being
exported, it is but a small fraction of
the heretofore, normal trade. The fact
that Vladivostok alone has imported
about 20,000 tons of flour from Puget
Sound In the last five months, has fur
nished the millers with, some business.
Otherwise, they would have been forced
to close their plants long ago.
Ah an example of how the boycott is
affecting the business, of freighters
plying out of Tacoma4 it is stated that
the White Funnel liner Oanfa, which
will be here next week, will have but
760 tons of flour for China, whereas at
this time of year the normal shipment
would have been about 7500 tons.

Captain Bruin, the latter part of
December, assisted Sheriff Word in

Interest in Chinatown At" present cen
ters around the action? ot Captain ot
Detectives and "Inspector" of Police
Bruin, labeled by Mayor Harry lane as
"That Philippine Islander.'
All kinds of Chinese gambling garne
are ruaning. as usual, but no arrests are
made by the police or Sheriff Word, and
the only hostility shown by officers thus
far In January occurred when Word tried
to raid a "den, single-handed last Satur
day afternoon In broad daylight and. got
himself locked In.
Games Are "Wide Open.
Chinatown Is agog over Captain Bruin.
He has exhibited much Interest In the
district since he was appointed, and
hardly a week passes without some ac
tion by him affecting the Orientals. In'
the meantime gambling games arc run
ning wide open all along Second street.
It has Just been discovered that "In
spector" Bruin strolled through China
town one evening, during the latter part
of December last, and held conversations
with various merchants of the district.
To one rcnu table business man there
Bruin Is-said to have made threats.
"What do you know about Chinese
gambling?" Bruin Is said to have asked
the merchant.
The merchant replied, he declares, that
he knew nothing.
"I know games are running." Bruin is
said to havo asserted.
"Well, you catch gambling running, ar
rest 'em." was the merchant's reply. "I
know nothing: you have authority, you
catch 'em."
"There Is one of two things." Bruin Is
quoted as saying, "the games must close,
or I'll drive Chinamen from Portland."
"Without Outside Guards.
This merchant is at a loss to under
stand how to reconcile Captain Bruin's
threats with his actions as inspector of
police. The Chinese know when a police
man Intends to enforce the laws against
gambling as best he can. and they fear
him At present many of the gambling
houses In the district are running without
outside guards.
When Captain Bruin was appointed to
his present position, a high officer of the
Police Department predicted that Bruin
would take especial Interest In China
town, and declared his belief that-Patrolman
Burke would sooner or later be
shifted because of his activity there and
a patrolman put In his place who had a
"better understanding."
It appears significant that with Bruin

1903, when they returned to Portland the

with which to establish themselves. They
were again helped, and' later the County Re
lief office allowed the man the use ot a
small asm to start a small buHinen. Thl.
however, did not last long, and again -the
family waa heard of through the county office.
Again Investigation and again a wretched state
ot affairs a shack In South Portland, mis
erable surroundings, the mother In a delicate
condition, the father with a broken arm, and
four children to provide for. Clothln? every
whereon the floor, on the beds, on lines
stretched across the room, everywhere evidence
of nhlftlessness and Incompetence. The Sal
vation Army had brought In food, the nelch
bors had been iolaz their share, the public
school had helped, the neighborhood church
had sent In supplies, each without any knowl
edge that help was being obtained from an
other source. The City Board of Charities'
visitor tried to Induce the man and hla wife
to go to the hospital, assuring them that the
children would be taken care of. but without
success.
The neceasary aid wm given. Tho next
report came from a teacher in the public
school, who was considerably wrought up
over the deplorable condition, but who, for
tunately, was wise enough to call up the
City Board Instead of applying her aid direct.
It will be necessary to take care of the
family until the man Lt able to work, which,
on account of other complication, will be
Impossible for a long time to come. It Is
therefore necessary that the aid be applied
directly la thehome. .
It has been the experience, both of the
county oSlelals and of the City Board of
Charities, that when relief bi given indis
criminately, it Is often misapplied there la
too much ot one kind, and not enough ot an
other a. feast one day and a famine thn
next. To be adequate, aid must be intelli
gently directed, and It is this phase of glv
Inr that the general public needs education.
"With thla end in view, alt those who are
interested in this family have been aked to
give their relief through the City Board of
Charities a frieadly Tliltor has been placed
Sa charce 9t the' case, and for the . sake of
the famllr. all help should go through the one
source. Any other information will be gladly
furnished on application to that organization.
This Is but one of the many instances
which point to the- necessity for a. closer
working together ot the charity forces of tho
city, both as to organizations and Individ
uals. There Is always the danger of dupli
cating effort, resulting in a confusion ot re
lief and x.warte of energy. Without a thor
ough knowledge of causes and conditions. It
is so easy to give the wrong sort of help.
Skillful and tactful invcstlgaton is the prop
upon which the modern type of helpfulness
rests, and Is the method employed by the
City Board of Charities and the county. The
advisability of asking a few leading questions
is shown in the following Instance a case
was reported of a woman in need; the vial tor
called, found her in a helpless condition, in
stant removal to the hospital necessary. ' A
little questioning brought out the fact hat
she bad left her husband on account ot relig
ious dfferences. taking her five children with
her. She resented questions as to his where
abouts, the only object of which waa to pro
vide for the children In the case the mother
died during the operation. It was surely
proper and wise to know that, there was a
father to whom the children could be sent,
and who was- not only anxious but able to
take care of his family.
' Investigation and keeping- records ot cases
are the two features of modern charity meth
ods which arouse the ire of the old-fashioned
philanthropist. In the old days when every
one knew every one else in the community,
the old, simple methods of giving were the
best, but in these days, with the large army
of Incompetents drifting about, with the shift
less and improvident, a charge first of one
society after another, the "simple? way docs
more harm than good. In our own city, it
has been found that almost without exception,
when a- case of destitution bast been brought
to llzht. it has been a charge either of the
county or of other organizations. This fact
should be generally known, that the records
in cither of the above-mentioned offices are
at the disposal of the public, and the work
era themselves welcome any request for their
services.
"It Is more blewcd to give than to re
ceive" should receive the modern, interpreta
tion, "to give wisely is more hlcosed for the
recipient." CHAIUTT.
