THE MORNING OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 9, 1907. JUST BECAUSE HE NEEDS THE MONEY was published by the Lokal Anzeiger to day of the statement made In a Washing ton dispatch to the London Daily Mail to the effect that Germany Intended- to send a fleet under Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia to visit the Atlantic ports of the United States, when the American battleships sail for the Pacific, as a mark of friendship for America. The rumor is de-ned by the Lokal An zeiger as "an Invention designed to cause a hostile feeling against Germany on the part of the other Interested countries."

WASHINGTON. I. C, Oct. . (Spe cial.) Captain S. R. Donahue, of Fair fax. Va.. who disclosed from musty volumes the record of George Wash ington's presentment for tax-dodging, has no peace since the exposure was printed. Every mail has brought to the captain a flood of angry and -protesting letters. "The naked truth seems to have of fended the patriots who looked upon the father of his country as molded from finer clay than his fellow mortals." said Captain Donahue. "They all seem to take my discovery 'a3' a personal offense Instead of a new fact of his tory. It's mighty discouraging to a man who makes an excursion Into the realms of historical research for the benefit of posterity to get forty odd bumps a day from his own generation. I'm going to quit the history business after this." "How Could You Do It?" i One letter was a mournful reproach In a feminine hand that suggested cats and tea, and hailed from Massachu setts. "How could you do It?" she walled. "You lower the moral tone of the youth of our country when you shake shake their faith In the great Wash ington." "I replied that I did It for two rea sons, one because it was' true and the other because I needed the money. It Is strange that all the protests have come from the North. George seems to be more adored way up North than right around home. It may calm the perturbed spirits of some of these out raged patriots to know that on the dosk of Mr. Richardson, the County Clerk, of Fairfax, is lying a hatchet, aged and rusty, to which Is attached a paper bearing this legend: 'The original hatchet used by George Wash ington." Will Tell No Jlore Discoverres. "This ought to offset the ax-dodglng unless the fact that the implement bears the trade mark of a hardware firm in Bridgeport, Conn., may make some difference." Richardson says he got tired telling the visitors why he did not have the hatchet, so he looked up one in the woodshed, and labeled It as above for the delectation of tourists and he finds It does Just as well as the original. After this present discouraging ex perience he Is going to keep any further discoveries locked In his bosom. r SAYS SHE DIES FOR HIM Men-limit Testifies of May Sapp'S Infatuation. TOIA, Kas., Oct. 8.

RELATIONS TO STANDARD F. T. Cuthbert, the President, on Witness Stand Gives Testimony Regarding Connection Between Octopus and Ohio Company. NEW YORK, Oct. 8. Information that may aid the investigation in Ohio of the xelationa of the Manhattan Oil Com pany of Ohio and the Standard Oil Com pany was brought out In the hearing of the Federal suit against the oil combine today, when P. T. Cuthbert, president of the Manhattan Company, was called as a witness. Mr. Cuthbert is the son of the late John Cuthbert, who was associated with the Standard, and who. It has been testified, had much to do with the mak ing of the contract whereby the Chicago Indianapolis Gas Company, controlled by E.' C. Benedict and Anthony N. Brady, obtained a constant oil supply from the Standard as a part consideration of the sate of the Manhattan Company. Mr. Cuthbert said his father, previously to his connection with the Manhattan, was a director of the Tidewater Pipe Line Company. The witness said he became president of the Manhattan in 1902.

"The General Industrial Development Syndicate, of London, owns 1495 shares and the qualifying directors own the other five shares," replied Mr. Cuthbert "Is that an English company?"

MARKS OF VIOLENCE SHOWN Defense Springs Sensation in Sawyer Trial at Pendleton Effort Made to Show Irresponsibility for the Shooting. PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 8. (Special.) Novel, Indeed, were the . methods adopted by the defense In the case of James Sawyer, charged with the mur der of Jack Monee at Juniper to lm; press the Jury today with the idea that the defendant was not mentally re sponsible when he fired the fatal shot. Instead of putting Sawyer on the stand. Attorneys Prultt and Raley for the de fense, explained that their client had but a hazy recollection of the affair af ter the first blow was struck, and that he had only flashes of memory as to details. Then counsel had Sawyer stripped before the jury and placed his body in evidence as an exhibit. Sawyer had been badly beaten four times on the day of the murder and scars were there to show It. A doctor who had attended him was used to point out the marks and make the explanations. The exhibit proved of freakish Interest. Sawyer was shown to have the sec ond rib, directly over his heart, broken and the broken end" could be plainly seen protruding. The right side of his breast was badly contused and he could hardly breathe. Two severe wounds were shown on the head as well as two smaller ones. The 'head and face was badly disfigured. One of the biggest tricke turned by the defense came after the exhibit. The attorneys for Sawyer had attempted to Introduce testimony to show the bad temper and bad character of Monee, the dead man, and to prove that he was quarrelsome and not a fair fighter, but would sneak up behind a man and overcome him. The prosecution ob jected strenuously to this and the court sustained the objection, but the de fense continued to call some six or eight witnesses who were ruled off the stand one after the other. But much to the surprise of everybody. Judge Bean, after the defendant had been ex hibited in the nude as evidence, ruled that the evidence might now be sub mitted. Enough was then shoved In to blacken the character of a Salvation Army captain as a fighter. - The evi dence of the defense was all in by 4:30 o'clock, and a recess was then taken, until morning when the argu ments will be made and the jury charged. One point brought out by the de fense today in the testimony -of Dr. Griswold, which has been kept a close secret was that Sawyer himself was shot. In the exhibit it was shown that the bullet went through one finger and cut off the end of the other. It was shown that, this happened in the scuf fle with Monee which the defense ad vances as an argument against the the ory that Sawyer shot Monee while advancing upon him. The concluding testimony for the prosecution brought out little that was new. Most of the witnesses said that Sawyer fired a shot I $2 Dress Trim- 52-inch and Save 52c Yd. navy, new greens, wine, plum, M " All reg. $3 and $2.35 qualities...! sflQ For Wednesday Only. frmm 39c 1 $1.75 8-inch Women's fancy Save 52c galloon trimming ; also plain m r r- white, with or without yoke aTIm. t am For Wednesday Only. -Outing Ribbon, Regular lajc Save2V2CYd. fleecy for gowns, waists, etc. Regu lar I22C values, yard ; . . .
