GUILTYATMOSGOW
Tried in the Federal Court on
the Charge of Subornation
of Perjury.
JURY IS OUT ALL DAY LONG
Consideration of the Evidence of Two
Men With Whom the Land Op
orator Was Acoused of Tamper
ing Causes Much Thought.
t.lll.TY ON ONE COUNT.
Th Jury found Robnntt Bullty
of subornation of perjury on tho first
count and not guilty on tho second. ,
The first count charges htm with ub
ornlng George Ray Robinson to swear
falsely In taking up a timber claim.
In swearing that he had been upon
tho land when he filed his appli
cation, when he had not. Tho second
count, upon which he was acquitted,
charged him with suborning Bert
sal II. Karris of the same offense.
The testimony showed it was
lai'K'ely through' Robinson's instiga
tion .that .Harris consented to take
up -the stone and timber claim,
through representations made to the
latter by Robnctt. Robinson final
ly transferred his claim to the
I.ew-iston National Batik, receiving
$71.'-i."i for his trouble, while Farrls
still hokls his claim, which is Bald -to
be worth considerable money.
MOSCOW. Idaho, Nov. 20. (Special.)-
Tho jury in the Clarence AY. Robnett
subornation of perjury cane in the Fed
eral Court, returned a verdict at 9 o'clock
tills evening. They found the defendant
guilty on the first count, and not guilty
on the second count.
Tiie jury received final instructions
from Judge Beatty at 10::w this morning,
and at 2 o'clock this afternoon came into
court for an explanation as to the evi
dence of 5eorge Ray Robinson and Bert
Fel II. Ferris, the two persons whom
Robnett is accused of suborning. Judge
Beatty explained to tliem that they were
tiie Judges of the evidence, and while in
his mind lie could reran nothing that had
Iteon offered by the defense in contradic
tion of this evidence, the Jury must be
guided by their own judgment as to the
facts.
At 8:15 the jury again came Into court
for further enlightenment upon the same
point, and were told by the court that
there was no reason why they should
not reach a verdict in this case. The
court said that if, as is sometimes the
case with juries, there were one or two
who thought one ;way and- ten or eleven
the other way, the thing for them to do
was. to carefully go over the facts in a
spirit of fairness, remembering that the
majority was most apt to be right. While
no Juror, he said, could surrender his in
dividual judgment, ho one of them should
allow himself to get into an obstinate
frame of mind and thus create antagon
ism .which would prevent any verdict
at all.
In a little over half an hour the jury
returned into court with their verdict.
While the jury were out during the
day, the work of empaneling a Jury to
try 'William Dwyer, for subornation of
perjury, was taken up and considerable
progress was made by the District Attor
ney. Dwyer is indicted upon two counts,
and the case is similar to that of Rob
nett. Dwyer was engaged in locating
men on timber land and it is alleged that
he persuaded them to file, under the tim
ber and stone act, on land which they
had never seen.
DEMAXD FOR APPIjK TREES
Snlem Nursery Gets Large Orders
From All Over Northwest.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) The
recent agitation over the growing of
apples in the Willamette Valley and the
frequent publication of reports of the
high prices that have been secured for
tlrst-class apples, Is evidently, having
the effect of stimulating an interest in
apple-growing. There is an unprece
dented demand for apple trees, and
some of the small nurseries report be
ing entirely sold out of . the varieties
in most demand.
The largest nurseries still have stock,
but they are not likely to have many
to carry over into the next year.
There Is a large demand frQm Idaho
and Montana, from localities where the
fruit industry is still in its infancy, and
where the growers are setting out
large orchards. This market is larger
than the Oregon market, for -the de
mand in this state comes principally
from people who are adding to their
orchards or are replacing other fruit
trees with apples. The varieties in
most demand are Baldwins, Spitzen
bergs and Gravensteins.

ing at Penitentiary Doors.
ROISB, Idaho, Nov. 20. (Special.)

tentiary today into the arms of J. B.' Gil
liam, chief turnkey of the Walla Walla
Penitentiary, who wanted him to serve
out an unexpired term there. Rogers has
a long, had record. While a boy at Walla
Walla he got into tho Reform School,
from which he escaped. Later on he be
came a candidate for the Penitentiary
and was sucee.-wful in getting into that
institution. After servng one term he
went back for another of four years, but
got away after serving six months. He
then went to Nevada, where he is charged
with having committed crimes for which
the authorites want him. and finally land
ed at Pocuteilo, in this slate, where he
was arrested for burglary, getting a three
years' term.

RIGHTS OF INNOCENT HOLDERS
Suit Brought by Purchasers of Cer
tificates Secured by Fraud.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) A suit
of importance to the State of Oregon
will he heard before Judge Wolverton In
the Federal Court tomorrow, for the
purpose of determining the right of an
iinnocent holder of state school land cer
tificates which were originally procured by
fraud. That the suit had been brought
was not generally known. Arguments will
be heard unon a stipulated statement of
is. Attorney-General Crawford, renre-
renting the state." and E. B. Watson, of
Portland, representing John De Lalttre
and about a dozen other holders of
certificates, have agreed upon the facts
and the court will be asked to decide the
questions of law.
De Laittre and his associates are hold
ers of fraudulently procured certilicates
of sale of state land issued upon bogus
applications marie by II. II. Turner. It
Is stipulated between the attorneys that
Do Lalttre Is innocent of any wrong
doing or knowledge of any illegal trans
action. The question thus presented is
whether fraud in procuring a contract of
sale will Invalidate the contract after it
has been assigned to one not a party to
the fraud.
The question is of importance to the
state because the State Iand Board re
cently cancelled 30 certificates of sale,
coverlns approximately 100,000 acres.
Whether the state has a right to do this
has never been determined by the courts,
but it is presumed that Judge Wolvertbn'e
decision will settle it. The suit was
brought in the Federal Court because
De Laitre is a resident of Minnesota and
was not therefore compelled 'to proceed
in a state court.

VANCOUVER. Wash:. Nov. 21. (Spe
cial.) Voluntary nonsuit was taken by
the plaintiff this morning in the Superior
Court in the case of John Johnson

Company and others. This action was
brought to recover $100,000 damages from

eyesight, which resulted from a blast of
dynamite set off in a pit hole near where
Johnson was standing. He was employed,
with others, by the contractors of the
company May 12, 1906, near Lyle, m
Klickitat County, when the accident oc
curred, and alleged It was due to the
carelessness of the ' superintendent of
blasting at that place. '
The company answered that it was such
an accident as could not be foreseen and
that Johnson, being an experienced work
man with dynamite, assumed his own
risk. The case was delayed on account of
high waters, witnesses not beiug present,
since Monday morning.
There was surprise in the court room
when Judge H. E. McGinn, of Portland,
moved for dismissal. James B. Kerr and

EUGENE, Or.. Nov. 20. Charles Stick
els, a farmer living on Fern Ridge, eight
miles northwest of Eugene, was placed
under arrest yesterday for peddling meat
from diseased cattle. For some time past
it has been reported that Stickels was
butchering cattle that were -afflicted with
some kind of malady, and last week

began an investigation. He ordered the
County Stock Inspector, Dr. J. Christie,
to make an examination of the meat be
ing sold by Stickels. Tuberculosis in a

Bustrlan Is Near to Death.
SALEM Or., Nov. 20. (Special.) Fred
Bustrian. who is on trial here for the
murder of Marshal Krechter, of St. Paul,
in September, will probably not live to
suffer penalty, even if the jury should
find him guilty. He Is apparently a hope
less sufferer from tuberculosis." and is
so thin and weak that he has to be helped
into the courtroom and is permitted to
sit in a rocking-chair while the trial pro
ceeds. The taking of testimony disclosed very
little that was material, in addition to
what is already known. The case will
go to the Jury tomorrow.

CORONER ACCEPTS REPORT
Esther Mitchell Declares Her Accom

Commit Suicide, Despite the
Findings of Chemists.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 20. (Ppecial.)
Despite the fact that Drs.' Ward and
Rubensteln formally reported to Coroner
Carroll this afternoon that Maud Creffield
died from strychnine Kdsonlng and that
the Coroner has accepted the chemists'
report to mean she committed suicide.
Esther Mitchell persists that Mrs. Cref

challenges the truth of the Coroner's find,
lngs. When told of the result she said:
"Maud never took poison; we were very
Intimate and" knew - each other's Inner
most secrets. If Maud had planned to
take poison, I certainly would have
known about it, and she never told me
anything of it.
"Maud Creffield believed suicide was
cowardly and always insisted that she
could not take her own life. I do not
believe she could have changed her views.
It would have been Impossible for Maud
to have taken poison without my knowing
it, unless she did it that night when she
went out to take a footbath. She was
only gone a few minutes and this was
the only time she was out of my sight.
She certainly did not take the poison
when I was around.''
May Hurt, sister of Mrs. Creffield, and
Mrs. Levins " called at the Jail this after
noon to see Esther Mitchell. Mrs. Levins
had seen Mrs. Creffield the afternoon be
fore she died. "I saw Mrs. Creffield, but
certainly I did not bring' her any poison,"
said Mrs. Levins. "Maud Creffield dCd
not want poison. We had talked several
times of suicide and Mrs. Creffield always
said that self-destruction was cowardice.
But for the fact that it was cowardly
and that God had forbidden her to commit
suicide, Mrs. Creffield often said she
would like to kill herself, for she had no
desire to live. But she always told me
that it was her duty to live and meet
whatever punishment was given to her,
and declared she was going to do it."
Five different color tests were applied
by the chemist making the analysis of
Mrs. Creffield's stomach. Traces of .000001
of a grain were discovered in the most
sensitive of the tests. By use of a pow
erful microscope the crystals of the poi
son were developed tonight.
The authorities have not as yet made
any attempt to detain Mrs. Levins, the
cousin of Mrs. Creffield, and her last
caller, but there will be an investigation
and arrests may follow. The Sheriff's
office is keeping special watch on Esther
Mitchell.
AWARDED ALL THE CHILDREN

vorce by Judge McBride.
OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)

William McDonald, Mrs. Annie McDonald
has been awarded by Circuit Judge Mc
Bride the custody of ten minor children
and her costs, amounting to $27.70. The
ages of the children range from 18 months
to 17 years, the oldest son being but 8
years of age. The woman asked that the
defendant be required t,o contribute 125
monthly toward the support of the family,
but this consideration is not included in
the final order granting the separation.
In her complant Mrs. McDonald stated
that she and McDonald were married at
Osage City, Kan.; in February, 1885. Be
sides being subjected to gross ill-treatment,
including the calling of vile epi
thets, the mother of this large family al
leged that during her married life she
was required to perform much manual la
bor in addition to the performance of her
household duties. She offered testimony
at the trial of the case to show that her
indolent husband obliged her to go Into
the field on the farm and sow grain, har
row the field, and eventually assist in
harvesting the crop, besides having to
milk several cows every day."

The most terrible outrage ever per

POSTAL CLERKS UNINTERESTED
Effort to Form a Union Does Not
Promise Success at Seattle.
SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe
cial.) Desultory attempts on the part
of a score of postal clerks employed
in the Seattle postofflce to form a
union affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, will fail, Jf the
statements of many of the most prom
inent employes of the local office are
to.be believed. There are perhaps 125
postal clerks connected with the Seat
tle office.
Two meetings have been held in the
Seattle office, at which the formation
of a union was discussed. The meet
ings were called by a committee of
postal clerks, but neither gathering
was largely attended. . There Is coa
siderabie sentiment in the local office
against the formation of a union affil

refused to attend.

5EBVICET0 THE EAST
Northern Pacific to Use Tracks
of Great Northern.
LIMITED IS ON THE WAY
Tacoma-Portland Line Should Be
Open by Thursday and Repairs
In Washington Mountains Com
pleted by the End of Week.
TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 20. (Special.)
The North Coast Limited started
East tonight on its regular schedule
over tracks of the Great Northern.
The Great Northern will be used for
this service until the end of the week,
by which time it is expected that re
pairs to the Northern Pacific tracks
across the mountains can be completed.
Overland trains Nos. 3 and 4 will be
sent out of Portland as now. The
break at Olequa will be repaired by
tomorrow night. The break between
Castle Rock and Kelso has been re
paired and the ' Tacoma-Portland line
should bo opened by Thursday morn
ing. In tho Green River canyon the work
of repair is progressing rapidly. The
line east of the summit is opened from
Weston to Teanaway. The reported
cave-in at the tunmjl turns out to have
been nothing more serious than a small
slide at the snowshed on the east side
approach.
RESUMES SCHEDULE TONIGHT
Nothern Pacific's Main Line Will
Soon Be Clear.
Local officials of the Northern Pacific
promise that passenger trains will be in
operation on the old schedule over the
company's tracks between Portland and
Puget Sound points by tonight. Passen
gers leaving tonight for the East over
the Northern Pacific will be given the
guarantee that the trip will be made
without change of cars or transfers. It
1s assorted that the line from Seattle to
the East "will be open tomorrow by the
time the trains leaving tonight reach the
sections that were affected by the recent
floods. Regular schedules will be adhered
to after today, unlets unforeseen delays
in making repairs occur.
While the Northern Pacific's line to the
East was out "of commission, one train a
day was sent out of Portland over the
O. R. & N. tracks. The use of the Harrl
man tracks in case of emergency by
Hill's trains is provided for by . a con
tract the two systems have whereby
either road may use the other's tracks in
case of accidents. Compensation is pro
vided for on a mileage basis for each car
handled. The revenue to the O. R. &
N. was nominal, as the charges made
were very low. The toll to be paid by
Hill for operating a train from Portland
to Wallula amounts to about $125.
The Hill trains carried their own crews,
but on each engine was a "pilot" en
gineer supplied by the O. R. & N., at
Hill's expense, whose duties were to give
the Northern Pacific engineer all neces
sary information concerning the track
and roadbed.
While Northern Pacific trains were
using that O. R. Ai N. tracks, only one
train East from Portland was permitted
to be operated daily by the Hill line. Hill
would have been glad to operate others,
but the Dodsons slide and other points
on the main line threatened by flood con
ditions, made it Impracticable, O. R. &
N. officials declared, for the Hill people
to operate more than one train daily on
account of the heavy traffic on the Har
riman line.
Most railroads have reciprocal agree
ments by virtue of which one may run
trains over the other's parallel lines in
case of emergency.

in carrying out a scheme proposed by the

President Roosevelt is greatly interested
in the question.
In discussing the condition of Asiatic
immigration and the extensive objections
made some time ago to President Roose

of Chinese should be treated with more
courtesy and their coming facilitated,
Commissioner Sargent said:
"The President desires to keep out the
coolie class, but he wishes the exempt
classes given proper recognition. In the
past many certificates for merchants were
sold to those not entitled to them. The
consular officers who failed to do their
duty have been removed and as greater
