NUTS
MUST STAND TIL
Judge Hunt Decides His Physi
cal Condition Good Enough
to Stand the Ordeal.
SHEDS TEARS IN COURT
Today He Is Ordered to Appear
and Choose the Case Under
Which He Will
Be Tried.
Franklin Pierce Mays, State Senator,
will be forced to go to trial, in spite of
bis declaration that be is ill.
Judge Hunt late yesterday afternoon an
nounced that he thought that Mr. Mays
was In good physical condition to stand
the ordeal of facing a Jury.
Tbis, In the face of the fact that the
defendant in several of the land-fraud
trials broke down twice and wept when
he appeared in the courtroom yesterday
afternoon.
"I believe firmly that If Mr. Mays is
forced to trial he will go to pieces," said
W. D. Fenton, after Judge Hunt an
nounced his decision.
The court took an opposite view,
however, and the defendant will be
required to appear before Judge Hunt
at 10 o'clock this morning and indicate
his choice of cases under which to be
tried 2887, where he will have as co
defendants S. A. D. Puter, Horace G.
McKinley, Marie U Ware, Dan W.
Tarpley, Emma L. Watson and Robert
Simpson, involving an alleged con
spiracy in township 24-1, or No. 2918,
known as the "Blue Mountain Forest
Reserve" case, Binger Herman, J. N.
Williamson, W. N. Jones and George
Sorenson being his associates therein.
In all probability, the - attorneys , for
Mr. Mays will elect to be tried on the
latter, as in the first-named case the
other defendants have turned state's
evidence, and Mays would be left alone
as against their combined testimony.
It Is believed his attorneys will risk
the Issues upon the Blue Mountain
proposition, especially since Binger
Hermann will be eliminated therefrom.
James E. Fenton, of Seattle, a
brother to W. D. Fenton, of this city;
-was yesterday associated with the lat
ter as attorney of record in the case.
In the course of yesterday's proceed
ings Mr. Fenton remarked that had he
been Mr. Mays' attorney from the start
he would have advised him to go to
trial at once after being indicted, con
sidering it certain that the pendency
of such proceedings had a tendency to
affect defendant's health.
Mr. Heney intimated that if Her
mann is convicted In Washington he
will not push the Oregon cases against
him, considering that one conviction
would have a deterrent effect in all
such matters.
Mr. Mays Breaks Down.
Mr. Mays burst into tears the instant
he reached the witness stand in order to
be questioned as to his ability to stand
the trial. While being questioned by
Judge Hunt, Mr. Mays seemed to have
forgotten his part, and even manifested
a disposition to become argumentative in
his answers to special assistant to the
Attorney-General, Heney.
"My health- has been failing for a long
time," said Mr. Mays, replying to ques
tions by his attorney. W. D. Fenton,
after he had somewhat recovered from
the first outburst of weeping. "I began
losing flesh between 5 and 6 years ago,
reducing from 190 to 142 1-2, which I
weighed a few months ago. I am 51
years of age, and was born In Oregon.
"After the earthquake In California, I
proceeded to my farm in Tygh Valley,
where I have been ever since.
'My farm has an elevation of about 1400
feet. I left there last Saturday evening.
Am pretty tired today from the effects of
the trip here. I rtde horseback on the
farm occasionally with an umbrella over
me. (Here Mr. Mays was eelzed with an
other spell of hysteria.) They tell me my
health is better now than it was six
months ago, but maybe that is done to
encourage me. Sometimes I write and
sometimes I cannot get my thoughts to
gether. I try to read in order to cultivate
my memory.
judge Hunt Don't you ' think if you
would control yourself you would be able
to go to trial?
Confused When Under Fire. ,
Mr. Mays The trouble is. when I try to
follow things consecutively I get con
fused. Replying to a question from W. D. Fen
ton, his attorney, UK Mays said: "I can
not state when my health broke down.
DoTiot think it was In 1903 after the land
fraud trial began. When I was East In
1902 I had a severe spell and lost most of
mv weight then."
Mr. Heney then examined Mays touch
ing his recollection of events occurring
immediately prior to the land-fraud
cases, the object being to test his mem
ory In that respect. It Is evident that
the Government prosecutor takes very
little stock In the defendants' protesta
tions of illness, and seems to look upon
the whole proposition of attempts to se
cure continuances on this ground as a
deliberate and concerted effort to Jockey
with the prosecution of the cases.
"In 1902." said Mays. In reply to Heney,
"I went to Washington. D. C., on busi
ness connected with different matters,
one relating to some soldier additional
homestead entries. I argued a case be
fore the Commissioner of the General
Land Office In behalf of Wlllard N.
Jones, one of the defendants In the land
fraud cases. I also argued a case and
filed a brief with Land Commissioner
Herman as head of a division in connec
tion with the credit for the time served
In the Army relative to some claims on
the Siletx Indian reservation. I think I
had some business then with J A.
Krlbs In the matter of expediting the
Issuance of patents to some claims. They
were held up at the time."
Mr. Heney In regard to Mr. Mays"
' statement as to when he quit business, I
shall offer the affidavit of F. A. Krlbs
s to when he appeared for him at the
General Land Office In connection with
the Puter matters.
After the examination had been com
pleted, and Mr. Heney had submitted a
number of affidavits of special agents of
the General Land Office indicating that
Mr. Mays was in a condition physically
to be able to proceed to trial. Judge
Hunt addressed Mr. Fenton, stating that
he thought his client was in good enough
physical condition to proceed to trial.
TRIBUTE TO BANDMASTER
Gems From Watterson Spoken About
the Late Patrick Gil more.
NEW YORK, July 23. At a luncheon
lven yesterday by the Gilmore testimo
nial committee at the Manhattan Beach
Hotel, Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louis
ville. Ky the guest oi honor, spoke of
the late bandmaster, saylns, among oth
er things:
Which of us cannot still hear the strains
of the Boulanger march or the Star-Spangied
Banner making a. monkey of the waves and
winds, while the battery, parked alon- the
flower beda outside, joined the restless en
core. Patrick Sarsfield himself towering over
all, a very sea god, newly risen from the
vasty deep; another Lohengrin come to daz
zle and amaze, yet good for "Garry Owen"
and ''Yankee Doodle," for he was- an Irish
man, with all the Celtic gifts of variety and
could make those bellowing Instruments as
gentle and tuneful as reeds and viola to
murmur the Spring notes of Mendelssohn,
and now and then do a stunt from Bee
thoven and Schubert not unworthy of Thomas
and Seldl.
He. was an honorable and upright man as
he was a princely man, and when the peo
ple of the United States remember the debt
they owe him, they will rally to the sup
port of this movement inaugurated hereby,
where he showed the New Yorkers the glory
of New York as the city of the Summer sea,
a glory shared by no other city in the
world.

I EAST SIDE HIGH-SCHOOL BUILDING WILL NOT BE COMPLETED UNTIL NEXT YEAR
1 ' " lflr t ' ' I:
VIEW SHOWING PROGRESS OF WORK OX STRUCTURE.
It ! probable that the East Side High School building on East Stark, between East Thirteenth and East Fourteenth streets, will not be completed before 1907. It
is quite certain tost it will not bft ready for occupancy before the first of the year, and many believe It cannot be occupied before next Springr. The bulldlnc is now
one-third completed. The stone work has reached the third story, but is not completed that far. Even after the walls have been completed and inclosed, the finishing-
of the Inside will require much time. The Installing- of the heating- apparatus and lavatories in the basement will be slow work. It is possible that the
rooms of the first floor might be finished by the first of the year, but even this is doubtful, and it is thought that the Board of Education will have to make pro
vision for the East Side students in the High School on the West Side, as formerly. There w.ill probably be a large contingent from the five suburban school dis
tricts to enter the High School this Fall, which helps to complicate the situation.
Work on the Esst Twenty-eighth-street schoolhouse is going forward slowly, and it is not thought possible to have this building completed when school reopens
in September. At Sunnyslde, where a six-room addition is being built to the main structure, the work will not be completed by September.
SENATOR FULTON
LOSES NO SLEEP
Declares He Is Not Worrying
Over Hitchcock's Effort
to Indict Him.
NOR ABOUT LA FOLLETTE
Wisconsin Senator Is Trying to At
tract Attention, He Says Bris
tol and Patterson Appoint
ments In Abeyance.
HITCHCOCK'S PRIVATE 8ECBE- '
TARY TAKES TUB TRAIL.
WASHINGTON, July 23,-MSpeciaJ.)
Scott Smith, private secretary to
Secretary Hitchcock. Jiav started on a
tour of the West, going- first to Ari
zona "for his health." It is learned,
however, that Smith intends to swing
around to Oregon and take a hand in
the search that has been ordered into
Senator Fulton's record.
Apparently It was already too warm
last night for Senator Fulton to add
to the unpleasantness by uncorking
vials of wrath against Secretary
Hitchcock, who is said to have un
leashed a pack of Secret Service men
to go over the Oregon Senator's record
with a microscope and leave no stone
unturned until an indictment is se
cured. At any rate he was not dis
posed to amplify his former declara
tion that Secretary Hitchcock is in
his dotage. This, he says, is an open
secret.
"I have not heard anything from
Hitchcock," said Senator Fulton.
"Needless to say. I have lost no sleep
over the matter.'"
- Tnat the Secretary of the Interior
can investigate and be hanged is the
position of Senator Fulton. Confident
of his record, he does not care how
carefully it is scanned by his enemies.
Senator La Follette, too, is not taken
very seriously by the Oregon Senator.
The Chautauqua speeches of the Wis
consin lawmaker, wherein Senator Ful
ton's name is included in a list of
those who voted -against the radical
stand on the railroad-rate question,
have not even penetrated to the Sum
mer haunts of , Senator Fulton at As
toria, and what La Follette says the
former cares not.
"1 suppose he has to say something
that will attract attention." said Sen
ator Fulton. "I do not know what he
is saying, and I have not felt suffi
cient interest in the matter to find
out."
That the stir La Follette is making
with his list of Senators is the result
of idle talk, aud that his statements
are due to the exigencies of Summer
speechmaking, is the stand the Oregon
Senator takes.
"There is nothing to be said in the
Bristol matter, either," said - Senator
Fulton, in answer to a question. "I
guess he is discharging the duties of
his office," was the sententious opin
ion of the man who is said to be far
from being the District Attorney's
friend at court.
No decision has yet been made in
the question of a successor to Col
lector of Customs Patterson. This Is
not due. "however, to the fact that there
is any dearth of candidates who would
like to have the plum dropped in their
hands. There are many, many appli
cants, but of the legions called one
only will be chosen.
"There are a great many candidates
for the position, and it is difficult to
determine the matter," said Senator
Fulton. "The office is running along
smoothly, however, and. as there is no
emergency that requires hasty action,
I shall be slow about naming a Col
lector." As to his opinion or attitude on the
organization of the Legislature, Sena
tor Fulton said he had nothing to say,
as it would hardly be expected that he
takes any interest in it.
How Valentine Got His Job.
"There appears to be some dissatisfac
tion over the Postmastership at St. Johns
and I would like to state that it was not
made for political purposes," continued
Senator Fulton. "I haven't time to in
vestigate personally everyone of the post
offices for which an appointment Is to be
made and I try to do" the best I -can
under the circumstances.
"I was notified by the First Assistant
Postmaster-General that upon July 1 the
office at St. Johns would become a third
class office. It was then a fourth-class
office, and no appointments are made
for them unless because of death, resig
nation or removal for cause. These post
masters are commissioned "by the de
partment. But the third-class offices are
filled with appointments made by the
President which have to be confirmed by
the Senate.
"I was requested to recommend a per
son for the position and I had to act
quickly. I wired to a reliable party to
make an investigation and to let me
know of a suitable person for the posi
tion. By wire 1 received the name of
Mayor Valentine, and I of course recom
mended his appointment. The party I
refer to had no interest one way or the
other in the matter."
MALE TEACHERS WELL PAID
Average Monthly Salary $125; That
of Women $73. 2t2.
For the time actually employed,
male teachers of the schools of the
County of Multnomah receive an aver
age of $52.53 more per month than do

mitted by R. F. Robinson, Superintend
ent of Schools .of Multnomah County.
For time actually employed, the
average monthly salary of male teach
ers is $125.75, and that of the women
is $73.22. The great difference Is due

principals, are filled by men. There
are employed in the public schools 60
men and 529 women.

HOGE NOT VERY ILL
DR. K. A. J. Mackenzie Finds
Symptoms Feigned.
ORDERED TO THE HOSPITAL
Medical Treatment Will Bo Admin
istered to the Defendant and
He Slay Face Trial
Again Today.
It was expected that the defense
would begin the introduction of testimony
yesterday morning in the land-fraud case
now on trial in the Federal court, but
the absence of Martin O. Hoge, one of
the defendants was quickly noted, and
Attorney Thomas O'Day announced that
ho was lying dangerously ill in hia room
at the Fairmount hotel, 29 1-2, Sixth
street. Judge Hunt immediately ordered
an investigation, with the result that Dr.
K. A. J. Mackenzie, who examined into
Hoge's physical condition at the instance
of Mr. Heney, gave it as his opinion that
while some of his symptoms were real,
the majority were feigned. The phy
sician thought that if permitted to be
sent to St. Vincent's Hospital for a day,
where he could receive proper medical
treatment, he would be ready to face trial
again this morning.
William J. Mitchell, special agent of
the General Land Office, was placed on
the stand by Mr. Heney and testified to
having seen Mr. Hoge on the street with
his wife about 8 o'clock Sunday night,
and that to all appearances he was in
his usual health. Judge O'Day attempted
to show that Mitchell was shadowing
defendant, but this the witness denied.
Deputy United States Marshal Glenn
Bushey, who brought Hoge here from
Medford, stated that he was in the same
condition as when he found him at his
home, and that he accompanied the wit
ness here afterward without much effort.
Francis J. Heney was considerably
wrought up over the affair, and plainly
intimated that the defendant was .sham
ming illness. After the witness had tes
tified, the Government inspector ad
drened the court as follows:
Heney Recalls Biggs Case.
"I may seem to be a very cruel and
hard-hearted man for urging these prose
cutions against sick men, but your Honor
will doubtless remember that Mr. A.
S. Bennett, whose reputation In this com
munity and in the State is equally as
good as that of Judge Q'Day, was equal
ly as strong in his belief that the de
fendant, Marion R. Biggs, was sick to
a point where he would have to go to a
hospital and remain there for six weeks,
have an operation performed that his
life depended upon it, that to bring him
into court was to endanger his life. Mr.
Bennett had seen him and so far as Mr.
Bennett could tell as a layman, that
danger existed just as Judge O'Day
thinks it does in this case.
' "Now, your Honor will recollect that
two of the most eminent physicians in
this town. Dr. Mackenzie, who has Just
been on the stand, and Dr. George Wil
son, whose opinion would be accepted by
anybody in Portland, were sent to ex
amine Mr. Biggs, and In that case there
seemed to be some trouble with the same'
organs that we are now told there is
trouble with in this defendant. Judge
Bennett had brought In the affidavit of
a physician here, a reputable physician,
that in his opinion this man could not
come into court.
"He came into court with them and
here In court under oath Dr. Mackenzie
and Dr. Wilson said they saw no reason
why the man could not come into court
immediately. Tour Honor gave him half
an hour to get here, and he was here in
15 minutes, and declined the use of a
carriage to come and walked.' And from
that day up to the pesent day, so far as
I know, he has been Improving at any
rate there was no difficulty from that
day to the end of the trial as long as we I
saw him around here. And he, like the
defendant in this case, had been out the
night before.
Sudden Epidemic of Sickness.
"Now In this case the defendant could
not come. He was in Medford he could
not talk -when Dr. Pickell went to see
him he was in the same condition that
he is in now, a comatose one. It was a
desperate case, but desperate cases re
quire desperate remedies, and .we took
only that, but he sat here and he has im
proved right along under my . eyes he
has improved every day that the trial
went on. It was the best medicine that
was ever given to him and I think It
would effect a perfect and permanent
cure if we completed the case with him
present, just at is appears to have been
done in the Biggs case. Now it seems to
me that the time has come to call a halt
on these methods. We lost two days in
this case. We should have finished it
last week. Your Honor is here from a

be a sudden epidemic of sickness, among
these defendants.

at all. Nobody has any more sympathy
with real sickness than I have, but we
