MANNING MAKES FINE TALK District Attorney Followed by V. R. McGarry for Defense Malarkcy and Logan Will Cloxe Today for the Kes-pettive Sides. Final arguments alone soparate the (Yavmire-Rariding blackmail case from the" jnry. Tlie defense rested unex pectedly at 2:5 o'clock yesterday after noon, arguments on questions of law were barred, and the opening argu ments were heard. So that the one question the jury will have to deal with is this: Was Mayor Lane telling the truth or were Mre. Wayraire and Kaddtng? lilko the testimony, the arguments thus far presented by the state and de fense are directly contrary. Villain, wretch, vampire, vulture, ulcer, scoun drel, devil, Hnd similar fiery descriptive adjectives, were applied by District At torney Manning to Kadding. He re ferred to the woman in barely less com plimentary terms. Mayor Lane likewise came in for a scorching in the opening statement by T.awver McGarry. Gay Lothario, de signing old bird, designing rascal, old barnyard rooster and frivolous trifler were terms applied to the Mayor. In the last two and a half hours of the. afternoon epithets flew thick and fast, but it is said on authority that they were mild as compared with what are. to come toda5 when Special Prosecutor Malarkey will close for the state, and Lawyer joint F. Logan for the defense. Defense Calls Couucilnicn. The case will go to the jury rather sooner than was expected. In view pf the fact that the defense had at least a dozen witnesses on hand, it was quite generally believed that the arguments would not be reached before today. However, Mr. Logan announced that he would dispense with calling the members of the City Council, excepting two, who were on the stand early in the day. Councilmen Bennett and An nand were asked as to how the Way niire incident had affected the Mayor's reputation. Both said it had not in jured the Chief Executive, in their be lief. " "The Mayor's reputation is no worse than it was before this thing hap pened," Mr. Annand said. In reply to a question asked liini by a juryman. K. K. Radding, the woman's alleged confederate in the conspiracy, and V. M. Bell, her so-called sweetheart, were the two witnesses who occupied most of the day, and neither of them said anything that did the defense any good. Bell was a miserable witness, and not only contradicted himself and got fre quently muddled up, but insisted on one thing that seemed altogether un reasonable to believe. Thi6 was that lie never discussed the case with Rad ding, although rooming , and sleeping with that Individual ever since the oc currence. Bell's demeanor afterward won for him the characterization of "simpering idiot," this phrase being ap plied by Mr. Manning. Kadding Cool on' Stand. Kadding was a good witness so far as keeping cool was concerned and he made what lie said fit in consistently with the general contention of the defense. Whether the jury believed anything he was saying, however, is a matter of some little doubt. Such sentiments and actions as he attributed to himself are some times met with in talcs of fiction but seldom in real life. No doubt such things as Radding said would be accepted as truth more readily from that erratic per son than from the normal man. His story ran in this wise: He used to love Mrs. Waymire but she gave her transitory affections to Bell. Then with that beautiful spirit of altruism which can be met with so often in romance and so seldom elsewhere, he turned the tide of his burning love to aiding and ' guarding Bell's suit even at the sacritice of his own happiness. It came to him as a shock that Mra. Wayniire was visiting the Mayor at the Hamilton building office. He spoke to her about it. She said, "Mind your business." He told Bell. Bell spoke to her. She was none the less gracious with that favored one. Then he set out to learn the meaning of these visits. Was she really worthy, after all. of the devotion of the goodly Bell? About this time Mandelay told him he had seen Mrs. Waymire emerge from the Mayor's presence with hair and clothing 'disheveled and disarranged. Mandelay had noticed this while leaving the office of a dentist and the discovery had been quite by accident. Radding admitted that he then deliberately set about watching the woman. He followed her into the Hamilton building on the night of the "catastro phe." He was loitering about to note her condition when she emerged. He heard her frightened piercing screams for help. He ran to the door. The janitor was fumbling with the keys so he Bmashed the glass. Tladding Tells What Me Saw. What he saw was altogether different from that beheld by the elevator boy and janitor. He saw the Mayor wrest ling with Mrs. Waymire and striving to force her back onto a couch. The strug gle ended as he and tie others stepped inside. Mrs. Waymire emitted her now historic ejaculation. "The old brute, he tried to force me." and fled. Radding. too. fled, going straight to the jiarquam building where he found Mrs. Waymire and Bell preparing to go to Vancouver, Wash. Ho made no suggestion about their flight, he said. The cross-examination of Radtfing con sisted chiefly of a wrangling match be tween Manning and I-ogan. The Dis trict Attorney got to asking a second question before an answer had been given to the first. To this Logan ob jected and they delayed the game at least half an hour by these tactics. "How do you reckon I can cross-examine a man with you hanging over my shoulder?" Manning asked with some show of Irritation. Logan was leaning on the back of the prosecutor's chair. "Tou'll find me right here a straddle of your neck all day unless you conduct your cross-examination in a proper man ner." said Logan. Manning brought out the point that Radding offered Mrs. Waymire no assist ance when he broke into the Mayor's room and that he did not so much as offer to see her out the building, notwith standing his protestations of undying love. As a final question Manning asked Rad ding what name he had gone under in Missouri. The question was not answered and Logan at once jumped up to accuse Malarkey of having used confidential in formation In the case, inasmuch as Ma larkey had been Radding's lawyer sev eral years ago when the Missouri inci dent had been taken up. "We rest," said McGarry. and. after 10 'minutes of discussing the advisabil ity of, arguing points of law involved, the court ruled that these could bn dispensed with and directed that the state proceed to argue. Manning Makes Fine Argument. Mr. Manning, in facing the jury, ex plained that much of a talk could not be expected of him, as he was suffering from bronchial trouble. "That was the reason Mr. Malarkey had taken so active a part in the examination of . witnesses," he added. Manning's statement to the jury, however, proved a surprise in view of his apologies. It was finely timed, terse, log ical, well delivered and" effective. The jury looked tired and very much bored when the prosecutor started speaking. Every man of the 12 was giving him the closest attention before he had been speaking five minutes. It had been clearly shown, he said, that the whole thing was a blackmail plot, in tended to ruin the Mayor's reputation. "Ft would be an outrage to the people of this community if by your verdict you should acquit these people," he said. "It would not then be safe for me, as District Attorney, to receive visitors on business in my private office. "How utterly absurd it is to say the Mayor of this city is guilty of these absurd- charges. It was simply the old badger game worked over again. That woman might have come to your office, gentlemen, or she might have come to I NEW HOME OF THE Y. W. C. A. . j j , . -rT " j ! l.DlX'ti COMM1TTTKK KKt'OMMBXDS THAT CONTRACTS BE IJiT AT ONCE TURE MAIN AUtiHTOX. RAYMOND LAWRENCE, ARCHITECTS. Within the next few week work is to be resumed on both the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. buildings. A meeting of the building committee of the Y. W. C. A was held yesterday in the offices of trie architects. MacNaughton, Raymond & I.awrence, and it was recommended to the board of governors of the association .that contracts be awarded imme diately. Contracts for the steel superstructure of the Y. M. C. A. have also been received and it Is expected they will 1 be let the last of the present week. It Is practically certain that work will be carried on without interruption until the two structures are completed. The Y. W. C A. building is to stand at the no&lheast corner of Seventh and Taylor streets, occupying 60x100 feet. The basement for It and the Y. M. C. A. building, adjoining on the east, has been completed. The two structures will be entirely separate and do not correspond closely in design. The accompanying perspective sketch has been definitely adopted by the Y. W. C. A. The women's building will be ofbuff brick, trimmed with light terra cotta and will cost $75,000. It 'will have a marble entrance and the first floor will contain the reception rooms, lobby and business office. There will also be an auditorium, seating 2o0 people, on this floor. On the second floor will be dining-rooms, 'cafeteria and a spacious kitchen. A gymnasium. 40x100 feet, will occupy the greater part of the third and fourth stories. The remainder of the third floor will be divided into classrooms, while the fourth floor will contain living-rooms for about 20 girls and are intended to ac commodate transients, affording them a homelike place to stop while in Portland. A feature of this building will be a large Bwimming pool in the basement. This pool will be IT by 40 feet and will be tile lined. All the facilities for ath letic exercises will be unusually good, the gymnasium being much larger than those generally constructed for the use of women. . ' mine; but. thank God, she went to Mayor. Lane's office instead of mine." Summing up the evidence presented by the defense, Mr. Manning said Radding's story was manifestly untrue, that the woman's was obviously concocted, and that Bell's testimony was not only a fab ric of prevarication, but was too plainly untrue to merit serious consideration. All Bell's testimony was simply a confirma tion of the report that he had loved Mrs. Waymire, with various uninteresting em bellishments. It was a reflection on the intelligence of the jury for Bell to say he had never talked over the case with Radding, Mr. Manning said: Says Bell Lied. "Bell lied," said he. "He went on the stand with a lie on his lips. His state ment about not talking with Radding was the most ridiculous statement lever heard made by any man. But Bell comes here not for himself. He is the tool of these people. He is a poor, simple, un fortunate fellow. In comparison with the intelligence of Mrs. Waymire and this man Radding, 'Bell is a simpering idiot, worse than any that was ever taken to the insane asylum at Salem. ft'ow, gentlemen, what is this man Radding? What has he ever done but prey on other people? Look at his past " Logan here made objection to discuss ing Radding's past and he and the pros ecutor exchanged courtesies in character istic manner. "Put a burr under a mule's tail and he'll whine," said Manning. "Yes, and you're the mule." protested !Mr. .ogun, loudly, whereat Manning "started to shake his fist in Logan's face, but ended by doing this with a smile, as if a second thought had sud denly seized upon him. "When a man has any honest vocation it comes out," said Manning. "But when, like Othello, he's just waiting around for something to turn up, nothing is said about it," added the prosecutor. "If these people hadn't been caught," he continued, "they would have ueen back in 30 days. They would have called on the Mayor and said: 'Here, now, you'd better do this or that or we'll ex pose you.' It's nothing more or less than the old badger game. These are worse cases than burglaries or even than mur ders. Look at that woman for yourself! I never saw a woman who had such des peration written In her face. Her every expression and every move shows it. I'm sorry of It. I'd like to be able to say this woman does not deserve to be handled so roughly as this man. But I think she is worse. Pays Kespccts to Kadding. "In making your verdict you must con sider, too. how many of us would fall into such a trap prepared by such a woman with the help of that rascal Rad ding. That fellow Radding has done no good to society. Tie is of no use to the community now. I believe ho Is the most despicable creature that ever put foot in Multnomah County. The deep est, darkest shadow of Dante's Inferno was a glittering ornament as compared with this defendant. 'This woman, Mrs. Waymire, won the Mayor's sympathetic ear by telling a beautiful story of a child In Missouri. Then it is alleged that he called her 'dearie' and 'girlie.' And when he kissed and hugged her and made proposals to her. as she says, why did she go uack to see him again? For just exactly what happened 1 . . "I have taken a great interest in this case, but not because Mayor Lane was concerned. I am not here to de- fend one act of Mayor Lane's: but be cause this is the most dangerous of all crimes the badger game. It is only punishable by imprisonment for a few months in the County Jail, but If I had my way it would be possible to send such people to the penitentiary for 20 years. . The eyes of this community look on you to protect it in this case. I predict that, in the face of the evi dence presented, you will bring in a. verdict of guilty within 15 minutes. Then you can feel that you have done your whole duty." McGarry Oiiens." for Defense. Mr. McGarry then opened for the defense, but devoted his hour to a summary of the evidence, paying only casual respects to) Mayor Lane. He will present a recapitulation this morning. He said the theory of the state seemed to be that because Mrs. Waymire and Radding were poor and worked for a living they were un worthy of consideration or belief. The whole case hRd resulted, he urged, through the Mayor having wrongly concluded that Mrs. Waymire was loose in hJr morals. "As to that letter of recommendation for which, this girl called at the Mayor's private office," said McGarry, "couldn't he have left that letter with his stenog rapher at the City Hall for Mrs. Way mire. But no! He carted it around with him, this' gay Lothario did; carted it down to the private office where he had his couch and his screen. And he had the letter misspelled so that he could say to the girl, 'Dearie, girlie, you'll have to call again.' What was the old fellow trying to do, anyway? Isn't it all plain? "He made the mistake of thinking this girl was easy. But he was wrong. Why, even the barnyard hen will run away from an old barnyard rooster like that' After it was over he called on his friend Dick Montague and his friend Tom Greene, and they stewed the thing over and decided this story that has been told here would be the best thing for them. Then, what did they do? They called at 10 o'clock at night at The Oregonlan and told of what iiad occurred. They could have found the editor at 6 o'clock, but they did not have their story ready then. They did not call on him until 10 o'clock. "Another thing; why did the Mayor ex cuse himself from the meeting of the Fire Board on that afternoon? It was one of the most important meetings ever held, relating as it did to the purchase of a water tower. Yet the Mayor could not stay even when urged to do so. He had to hurry away to his private office, where he met Mrs. Waymire." Judge Adjourns Court. "How much longer will your argument last?'' Judge Gantenbein inquired, noting that it was after 5 o'clock. . "About half an hour," was the reply, and the Judge then adjourned court until 9:30 A. M. today. McGarry will be fol lowed by Mr. Logan, from whom much Is expected in the way of oratory. Mr. Malarkey will then close for the state, the court will deliver his instructions to the jury and the 12 men will retire for deliberation.

TACIT FACT IS CHARGED Witnesses Swear That Jobbers Re fuse Goods to Independent Deal ers and That Federal Fines Did Not Kill the Combine. That a tacit agreement exists among rnembers of the Northwest Furniture Dealers' Association to hold up prices FOR KRKCTION OF ??5,000 STRIC and drive independent dealers from the field was declared yesterday by witnesses before the special Council committee which is investigating the alleged furni ture trust. It was supposed that with the fining of the members of the trust in the Federal Court last Fall, upon their pleading guilty to maintaining an illegal combination, the trust had been broken up. It Is asserted that whole- salers stand together as stoutly as ever. I and if conclusive evidence can be - se cured, suit will be brought under - the Belding anti-trust ordinance. Could Not Buy Goods. The special Council committee, com posed of Councilmen Vaughn, Belding and Concannon, met for the grst time yesterday and prodded the alleged furni ture trust. Witnesses appeared before the committee and testified that they had applied to wholesale dealers promi nent in the old combine and were un able to purchase goods from them. These witnesses said the trust is still in effect, but works in secret and is doing every thing it can to . crush the independent dealers. A. Kalischer, formerly of the Indepen dent Furniture Company: S. L. N. Gil man, another dealer; D. P. Price, former secretary of the trust, and Acting De tective Inskeep testified. Mr. Kalischer said he tried to purchase goods from several wholesalers since the passage of the Belding anti-trust ordinance and he found an understanding exists among all to refuse to sell to independent dealers. The only excuse that was given was tnat retailers desiring to purchase the goods were not in harmony with members of the former association and had assisted in the Federal prosecution of the trust. Detective Supports Charge. The testimony of Mr. .Kalischer that he was refused goods by wholesalers when he sought to buy and tendered money for the wares was corroborated by Detective Inskeep, who accompanied the independent dealer on his rounds. 3. L. N. Gilman. another independent dealer, testified that his business ha,s been ruined by the trust. He was un able to purchase goods, he said, because he did not belong to the Northwest Fur niture Dealers' Association. It was intended to show by this testi mony that the association, while sup posed to be broken up, is still working quietly, with the purpose of crowding out the independent dealers and main taining a fixed schedule of prices. Local manufacturers, it was testified, were afraid to sell to independent deal ers in some instances, lest they be boy cotted by the powerful members of the association. D.. P. Price, formerly assistant secre tary of the association, was called as a witness and testified that so far as he knew no combination of furniture deal ers exists in the city. The investigation will be continued by the special committee tomorrow morning. Probate Court Notes. A part of the W. C. Noon estate is to be sold. Judge Webster Issued an order yesterday directing W.

That will supply, in a gentle and natural way, the same laxative effect on the bowels. Nobody questions that the first way is best. So would it be best, for much the same reason, to do all of our reading by sunlight. But most of us are compelled to choose a second best way. And that way is Cascarets.
