MAY NAME TICKET
BEFORE PRIM
Republican Committee Pro
poses That Party Mass
Meeting Be Held.
DEFERS ACTION ONE WEEK
Resolutions Also Introduced Critlcls
', log Eight Ward Committeemen
for Taking Stand Against the
Candidacy of Gus C. Moser.
Resolutions providing a plan where
by a. County Republican ticket should
be recommended at a mass meeting
composed of delegates from precinct
clubs throughout the city were intro
duced last night at tho meeting of
the City and County Repuhlioan cen
tral committee held in Allsky Hall.
The resolutions were the subject of an
animated discussion, but ' final action
was postponed to another meeting
called for one week from tonight. The
members were about evenly divided on
the merits of the programme outlined
by the resolutions, sqme fearing it
would bs construed by the public as
an attempt to evade the direct pri
mary law, whle others were Just as
positive that the scheme was in ac
cord both with the letter and spirit of
that legislation.
A lively discussion came up at the
meeting following the introduction of
resolutions disapproving of the action
of the committeemen from the Eighth
ward In going on record against the
candidacy of Gus C. Moser for Dis
trict Attorney, and taking a stand
against any similar action by com
mittee members toward candidates for
any office.
The resolution favoring the Indorse
ment of Republican candidates before
the primaries was introduced by A.
B. Manley in a speech strongly urging
its adoption. The resolution follows:
Propose Precinct Clubs.
Wherens, It Is made the duty of the
County Central Committee by the general
election law of this state to provide rules
and regulations for the welfare of the Re
publican party; therefore, be It
Kesolved. That the Republicans of the
several precincts In Multnomah County,
Oregon, be, and they hereby are requested
to form a precinct club in each precinct and
elect two delegates to meet in joint meet
ing la the City of Portland at a time to be
appointed by the chairman of this commit
tee, to select, recommend or indorse candi
dates to be nominated at the coming pri
mary election for the several county offices,
to bs filled at the next general election.
The introduction of these resolutions
was in accord with the purpose of the
meeting, the call for which instructed the
committeemen to gather Information as
to the desire of the voters of the several
preclncLs to meet in mass convention.
The reports differed with the various
wards, some members asserting that their
constituents were wedded to the direct
primary law and would consider nothing
Infringing on Its Jurisdiction). Many,
however, believed that the plan would
be welcomed, but emphasized the ne
cessity of making the proposed mass
meeting representative of the party In
Multnomah County as a whole and not
of any faction.
"It Is not for this committee to or
ganize precinct clubs for the purpose of
nominating delegates to a nominating
convention," declared W. M. Davis, who
led the opposition against the plan. "It
would simmer down to the various com
mitteemen calling together a few of the
men they knew wanted the men the com
mitteemen favored. Then they would se
lect two delegates to the convention with
everything cut and dried In advance. It
Is nothing less than getting back to the
old convention, only it would be worse.
"Do you think the party at large would
stand for any such scheme? Not a bit
of it. When this mass meeting had nom
inated a ticket, the Republicans who got
left would go before the party at the
primaries with the plea that they had
tieen knifed to name a slate, it would
be the best nomination a man could have
to say the convention had turned him
down. Then he would come out as an
independent' and there would be more
'knlnng' than 'there has been in the
past."
Other members of the committee took
the same position as Mr. Davis. Many
of them said they regretted the enactment
of the direct primary lnw, and believed
it wjp Working thoroughly to disorganize
the party. They thought it better to
abide by the primary law, inasmuch as
it Is on the books, and predicted dis
aster for the party if a mass meeting
were culled to name a ticket.
Perfect Party Organization.
"Thero Is no purpose of evading the
prlmao- law In calling this meeting."
asserted Mr. Manley in support of his
resolutions. 'The law provides that the
central committee shall provide means to
perfect party organization. The resolu
tion simply means that a ticket shall be
named which Is representative of the will
of the party as a whble. Organization is
the only way to success, and if the Re
publicans do not vote together we shall
have Democratic office-holders just as
we now have."
"The Democrats nominated a complete
ticket before the primaries two years
ago." declared one member. "If organi
zation is good for the Democrats it is
good for the Republicans."
Chairman ullenian explained the scheme
for nominating a ticket at a mass meet
ing, as proposed. He said It was not in
tended to have the central committee
dominate the convention, but make it
representative 'of the Republican voters
at large.
"The Intention is that the members of
this committee shall work to organize
Republican clubs In their own precincts.
When these clubs are in existence the
duty of the committeeman in the mat
ter ends. Then the clubs themselves will
take charge -and elect delegates to the
meeting that shall name a ticket. The
voters will therefore name the ticket
themselves and there will be less 'knif
ing' if a ticket is named In a mass meet
ing than if a dosen candidates go before
the primaries for the same office."
In view of the importance of the mat
ter, the motion to postpone it until next
Tuesday carried unanimously. At that
time it is hoped to have every member
In attendance. In the meantime a com
mittee of seven, yet to be appointed by
Chairman Idieman. will consider the reso
lutions offered by Mr. Manley.
The resolutions, criticising the Eighth
Ward Republicans for going on record
against the candidacy of Mr. Moser were
Introduced by Mr. Davis and created a
stir among the members. They Involve
the Important Issue as to whether the can
didacy of any man Is to be supported or
handicapped by the indorsement or cen
sure of any portion of the xtntirl Com
mittee. A committee of five will also
be aptkMnted -to consider them and seek
to reach an agreement satisfactory to all.
Davis Defends Moser.
"The members from the Eighth Ward
have done Mr. Moser a great injustice,"
declared Mr. Davis in Introducing his
resolutions. "Certainly no member of this
committee should take any such action If
we are even in doubt as to whether the
party as a whole should Indorse candi
dates." "If you are going to .censure the mem
bers from the Eighth Ward by passing
these resolutions, it Is no way to promote
party harmony," replied one of their
number. "The people of our district do
noUwant to accept anytne as a candidate
who has held office under a Democrat.
Mr. Moser's own statement announcing
his candidacy, in which he had said iur.
Manning would support him, looked like
some kind of a deal had been made be
tween them and we do not want to stand
for any compromise' with Democrats. Let
Mr. Moser challenge Mr. Manning to take
the field against him instead of accepting
Mr. Manning's support." :
"That is Just what I did in my state
ment," responded Mr. Moser, who denied
that there was any alliance between him
and Mr. Manning.
Mr. Moser then went over his record to
show that he had been faithful to the Re
publican party, and after a short discus
sion it was decided to take up the matter
again at the next meeting.

charges made by Noland, and the latter
seriously believed his daughter was lured
to ruin by Conboy, that .Poland would
not have allowed Conboy In the restau
rant afterwards.
Councilman Vaughn and those opposed
to Conboy will undoubtedly arjue that
the turkey dinner Incident is unworthy
of serious consideration.
j
oland Tells of Daughter's Fall.
Noland took the stand and swore that
the Conboy saloon has a.ways been a dis
reputable place; that young girls have
been seen to enter there frequently and
that he has seen them - fining from the
saloon intoxicated. He swore that Con
boy entered into an agreement to receive
and deliver letters between Breckenrldge
and Miss Noland, and that Conboy as
sisted the pair In their movements, un
known to Noland. The boy eyentually
eloped with the girl, they goinj, to Taco
ma. They were returned by Detective
Hawley. The boy was sent to the Re
form School and the girl to the House of
the Good Shepherd. . It was charged by
Hawley and Noland that the liquor drunk
by the pair was purchased from Conboy'a
saloon. The father denied that his C-ugh-ter
ever frequented the saloon.
Fama and Maude Wilkinson, aged 17
and 24 years, respectively, living at
511 North Twenty-first street, and em
ployeod as waitresses in Noland's res
taurant, swore that Conooy had nvited
them to come to his saioon by the back
door, and said no one would see them;
that he said he would be glad to have
them visit him and would see that no
one found It out. They refused his In
vitations, they swore, and he ceased to
patronize Noland's establishment. This
fact caused an Inquiry that led to the
discovery of the secret of his absence
from the tables. Both youn women
came to Portland from a rural "district
but one year ago, they said, and had
never seen the inside of a saloon.
Heard Conboy Vse "Love Language"
V. J. Porter, living at Noland's hotel,
swore that he had seen women in Con
boy's saloon, in a back room, on a dozen
occasions, but he thought that, if it is
the custom for won. :n to be allowed in
saloons, that Conboys saloon was all
right; that its reputation was good. He
had heard Conboy use some ' love lan
guage" over the telephone one rlghH but
regarded the words as proper enough,
under the circumstances, and said It was
probably all right.
During the progress of the case, Conboy
demanded the privilege of interrogating
some witnesses, although his own attor
ney was present. Conboy denies every
allegation made against him, and says
he will disprove every accusation in due
time. He will make a fight for further
time in which to prepare his defense, and
It would not be surprising if the case Is
not completed this afternoon.
For the accommodation of i..e police,
the committee took the testimony of J.
W. Robertson, who charges that 1.- was
robbed of $10 in Fallon's saloon some time
ago. He said that gallon and thejjar

ure on the witness stand with the round
velvet hat and its crown of violets.
Mrs. Thaw, as last year, constantly re
iterated that she was repeating only what
she had told Thaw in Paris.
Mr. Jerome consistently objected
when It seemed to him the witness was
transgressing. - "
Justice Dowling ruled' that Mrs. Thaw
flrstjjiust tell all she remembered of the
conversation without any questioning
from counsel, unless it appeared the wit
ness had forgotten any details, when her
attention might be called to them.
The witness said her experience in the
Twenty-fourth street-house Sccurred after
her mother had been sent by Stanford
White to visit friends in Pittsburg. '
That "Night In White's Studio.
Mrs. Thaw Bald it was the day after she
had gone with Stanford White to a studio
in East Twenty-second street to have
some photographs taken -in. costume that
she received a note from him asking her
to lunch with" a party at the Twenty
fourth street house after the theater.
She was playing at the Casino at the
time.
"When we got to the house, there was
no one there except Mr. White and my
self," continued the witness, "and he
said 'They have all turned me down, but,
never mind, we'll have our supper and
then I'll show you all over the house.
You have never seen it'." .
Mrs. Thaw's voice broke at the last
when she told of all that happened, and
she went on with some diffleulty. Thaw
broke down completely and wept. The
witness speedily regained her composure
and resumed her narration. The story
varied in no detail from the narrative of
last yey.
Effect of Story on Thaw.
"Mr. Thaw, when I told him, got very
excited, and walked up and down the
room and moaned and sobbed; his eyes
were wild," said she. "He bit his nails
and said 'My God! My God" "
"How long did that keep up?" asked
Mr. Littleton. '
"All night."
' "What did Mr. Thaw say when you had
concluded?"
"He said it was not my fault and that
he thought Just as much of me as ever.
He said he wanted me to marry him and
I said It would make him the laughing
stock of his friends, for some people knew
of what had happened to me. He wanted
to know a lot about my mother and how
often she had seen Stanford White and
what he had done for her. I told him my
mother did not know anything about it."
Mr. Jerome would not allow any ques
tions to be asked until the witness had
completely exhausted her memory. His
constant objections did much to decrease
the effectiveness of the recital.
"For several days after I had told him
about Stanford White," said the witness,
"Mr. Thaw would sit for -hours looking
into space. When I would speak to him,
it was always some time before he could
answer."
, Judge Reverses Himself. :
"Did Mr. Thaw say anything about your
early life?"
"Yes, sir."
"'What did you tell him?"
Mr. Jerome objected.
"I sustain the objection." ruled Justice
Dowling, "as to anything that occurred
prior to the meeting of the witness with
Stanford White." ,
Mr. Littleton had sought to get the
story of Evelyn's early life before the
jury. on Frlday,,but objection of Mr. Je
rome was sustained. Mr. Littleton ar
gued today that the early life story of
the witness had a great deal to do with
impressing Thaw with the truth of her
story and thus had a direct effect as to
Inducing Insanity.
Upon this presentation of the matter.
Justice Dowling reversed his former -ruling
and allowed the witness to proceed.
When Mrs. Thaw started to tell of
conversations .with Thaw as to hoping
to be a great actress some day, Mr.
Jerome objected, and Justice Dowling
suggested that the testimony be made
as brief as possible.
Mrs. Thaw said she was 15 years of
age when she came to New York and 16
when she met Stanford White. She went
over briefly the events that followed
her return from Europe in November,
1903, and told of meeting again with
White, of hearing from him that Thaw
had made a practice of treating young
girls brutally and of telling this to Thaw
when he sought her out on his return
from Paris several weeks later. She told
Thaw also ol being taken by White to
the office of Abraham H. Hummel and
signing a paper there. Thaw was very
much excited over it all and told her
she had been very foolish; that she
ought to have known him better than
to believe the stories told her by White
and his friendte..
Mrs. Thaw told again of the burning of
the affidavit she had signed in Hummel's
office. She had tried to get possession of
it not knowing what it had contained,
when she signed it but White would not
let her see anything more than her sig
nature before it was burned.
Mr. Littleton made no attempt to shield
the fact, as was done last year, that the
witness and Thaw lived together both
in this country and abroad prior to their
marriage. '
Proposed Joint Suicide.
"One day at the Grand Hotel in New
York, early in 1904." said Mrs. Thaw,
"Harry was very despondent and he said
my life had been ruined and his life had
been ruined; that all sorts of stories had
been circulated about him and he was
going to end it all by suicide. He went
so far as to fix the time and place, and
everything. He said he would go

When a medicine has stood the test for a period of more than two gen
erations and is then more popular than ever, there' can be no doubt of its
merit. This is the record of S. S. S. Its period of existence is marked by a
long line of cures of blood and skin diseases of every character, and its value
in the treatment of such troubles has become so well known that it is today
the most extensively used blood medicine on the market. For Rheumatism,
Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all other troubles
due to an impure or poisoned condition of the blood, S. S. S. has no equal.
It counteracts and drives out the poisons, humors and germs, cleanses the
system of all unhealthy matter, cures the disease permanently and restores
strong, robust health. "Where the blood is weak or anaemic, and unable to
furnish the body with the nourishment and strength it needs, S. S. S. sup
plies it with the healthful properties and acts splendidly in toning up and
reinvigorating the. system. It goes down to the very bottom of all blood
disorders, and in this way reaches inherited taints on which the ordinary
blood medicines have no effect. Not only is S. S. S. certain in its results,
but it is at the same time aa absolutely safe remedy. It is made entirely of
roots, herbs and barks of known healing and curative value. It does not I
contain the slightest trace of mineral in any form to damage the delicate
parts of the system, and may be used by children with the same good results
and perfect safety as by older people. It is not an experiment to use S. S. S.;
it 's a remedy with a record and one that has proven it3 worth by its forty
years of successful service. If you

to the Waldorf and get dinner and
then he would take laudanum. When
he was in one of those moods I always
agreed and said yes to everything he
suggested. I though that was the best
way. After dinner, I insisted that we go
to the theater."
- "Was that the last of it?"
"It was the last until we went later
In 1904 to Europe. I came In one day at
Monte Carlo and Harry's face was chalky
white. I asked him what was the mat
ter, and he said: "I have done It. It
is all over. Everything is all over."
Took Laudanum In Paris.
"I asked him what he meant. He said:
'I've done it. I've taken a bottle of
laudanum.'" I though he was trying to
6care vie, but he told me I could find
the bottle and he got violently ill."
- Mrs. Thaw said Thaw also wanted her
to drink laudanum. Mrs. Thaw then
gave the details of securing physicians
and the manner in which they worked
over Thaw all night to save his life. This
was the first new incident to which she
testified.
Going briefly over the incidents of 1904
in Europe and Thaw's repeated offers of
marriage, the witness said the wedding
finally occurred in Pittsburg in April,
1905, in the presence of her mother and
members of Thaw's family, including his
mother.
Mr. Littleton here brought, out the fact
that Thaw and his wife had endeavored
to secure passage on a steamer that Mrs.
William Thaw had taken for Europe the
Saturday preceding the Monday on which
the tragedy occurred. Unable to do this,
they had engaged passage on a steamer
leaving the Friday after the tragedy.
Events of Fatal Evening.
Mrs. Thaw next took up the events on
the evening of the shooting, and told of
the dinner party at Martin's, she and
Thaw, Truxton Beale and Thomas Mc
Caleb forming the party. Mrs. Thaw was
about to tell about the note she slipped
to Thaw at Martin's, reading: "That
(blackguard) was here but has gone
away again," meaning Stanford White,
when recess was taken. The note is said
to have been mislaid, but its contents
were admitted.
William D. Haywood, secretary, of the
Western Federation of Miners, came into
court during the afternoon session.
Mrs. Thaw described the scene at Madi
son Square the night of the murder.
"The show was not interesting and we
were leaving." she said, "when Harry
lagged behind and the first thing I knew
I heard three shots Bred. Harry came
right up to me afterward and I said:
" 'My God, Harry, what have you
done?' He said:
" 'It's all right, dearie, I probably have
saved vour life.' "
Mrs. "Thaw said she was taken down
in the elevator and sent home in a cab.
Mr. Littleton here offered in evidence
several of the letters from Thaw, read
at the first trial. They were Identified,
but not read, and the witness was turned
over to Mr. Jerome for cross-examina-.
tion.
In the loudest voice at his command,
the prosecutor, without mincing words,
plunged immediately into the most inti
mate details of the testimony. His man
ner brought fire in the replies of the
witness, who raised her voice involun
tarily. There was no consideration for
the witness either in. manner or tone.
When the prosecutor would demand -a
"yes" or "no" to some particular ques
tion. Mrs. Thaw would appeal to Justice
Dowling, saying:
"It is very difficult to answer such a
question." The court usually Instructed
her to reply to the question.
"When you went abroad with Thaw,
did you have money that White gave you
in your possession?"
"Yes,, but I did not know it"
"And you afterwards gave the money
to Thaw?"
"Yes."
Mr. Jerome probed into the young
woman's ideas as to virtue and morality
. . . II. ctnrll to interro
gate the witness as to her relations with f
White other than aireaay lesnnea to.
when Mr. Littleton objected, saying he
had been allowed to ask the witness only
as to the story she told Thaw. Justice
Dowling sustaned the objection. -
Jeromes' Questions Offensive.
The District Atttorney continued to jily
the witness with questions, which Mr.
Littleton finally objected to as offensive,
and was sustained. Once when the
prosecutor was asking the witness if she
had told Thaw certain things, Mrs. Thaw
flushed hotly and replied:
"Yes. but I didn't use the language you
are using."
After ' Mr. Jerome had questioned the
witness at length as to her trips abroad
and the dinner at Martin's, he asked If
she testified at the first trial about the
suicide attempt. '
"No. I didn't, because Mr. Delmas "
"Madame." shouted the District Attor
ney, "kindly answer questions and don't
argue." N
Mr. Jerome repeated his tactics of last
year, jumping frequently fiom one period
of the story to another and then return
ing. Taking up the incident in the
Twenty-fourth street house, Mr. Jerome
read from last year's record practically
I all of the witness' testimony at that time.
Mr. Littleton objected to this.'saymg tne
District Attorney had been solicitous that
these details should not be made public.
The objection was overruled.
Woman a Skilful Fencer.
During the late afternoon Mr. Jerome
occupied much time with the witness in
going over the details of her meeting
with Thaw, of her days at school In New
Jersey and various other matters con
nected with her association with the de
fendant. Mrs. Thaw fenced skilfully
1 with tiiA nrosecutor and constantly asked
what he meant by certain of his ques
tions. "You know what I mean," Mr. Jerome
would shout in some exasperation. The
witness pleaded that she did not know.

Judge McPherson Upholds Fed

State Rights.
POWER OF FEDERAL COURT
Law Forbidding- Transfer of Suits to
r
Federal Courts Held Invalid.
Represents Extreme of the
State Rights Doctrine.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Jan. 20. Judge
Smith McPherson. In the United States
District Court here today, declared void
and unconstitutional the statute passed
by the Missouri Legislature in 1907 for
bidding foreign corporations to trans
fer suits brought against them from
the state to the Federal Courts upon
pain of forfeiture of their charters.
The application of the Rock Island, the
Santa Fe, the St. Louis, Kansas City &
Colorado, the Milwaukee & St. Paul and
the Chicago & Alton Railway Companies
for an injunction to prevent John E.
Swanger, Secretary of State, enforcing
the law was granted by the court.
The Missouri law . upon which today's
decision is based provides specifically
mat li any foreign or non-resident rail
way corporation, created and existing un
der, the laws of any other state and do
ing a railway business from one point In
the -state to another point within the
state, shall without the written consent
of the other party, remove a case from
the state court to a United States
court, or shall without said written
consent institute any suit against a
citizen of the state. In any Federal
court, then the Secretary of State
shall revoke the license to do business
from one point within the state to
any other point In the state, either In
carrying passengers or freight, and
doing such" business shall subject it
to a penalty pf not less than J3000
and not more than $10,000 for each
offense. And such disability shall con
tinue for five years.
It is alleged in this case that the com
plainant Is about to transfer a case, and
the Secretary will follow such proceed
ing by revoking Its right to do busi
ness. The defendant contends that this
is In effect an action against the state,
in violation of the 11th amendment to the
Constitution. The complainant contends
that the act of 1907 impairs Its contract
with the state, and denies It the equal
protection of the law if enforced.
In concluding. Judge McPherson
holds as follows: . .
This court recognizes that the Secretary
of State will be enjoined from that -which
he Is commanded to do by state legislation.
But it Is also well known that. If this
court is in error, there can be a reversal by
the 6upreme Court within leu than a year
or less time.
There Is bnt a single question presented.
The complainant asserts rights under the
National Constitution and laws enacted by
Congress. The defendant asserts rights
under an act of the Missouri Legislature
and InsiBts that there is no conflict. This
court holds that there is a conflict. And.
there being a conflict, the one or the other
must give way. And the Constitution and
laws of Congress being tho supreme law of
the land, of course these enactments or the
state must yield. The application for an
Injunction is sustained.
The state will appeal.
