Myers Did Not Want Son-ln-Irfiw lo
Have Handling of One Cent F"rom
the Estate Hearing Will Be
Resumed -This Morning.
The Myers will contest was con
tinued at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Judge. Webster of the County
Court listened all the afternoon to the
testimony of witnesses who knew the
late Mr. and Mrs. George T. Myers.
The most of the testimony went to
how the condition of Mrs. Myers
before her death and what Mr. Myers
said regarding her condition at that
time and subsequent to her .decease.
George T. Myers, Jr., one of the
heirs, was placed on the stand during
the afternoon, nnd corroborated the
testimony of other witnesses. He
Identified a number of letters Intro
duced by counsel for Mrs. Frances
Ptevens. his sister, who Is contest
ing the will. These letters were writ
ten, for the most part, during 1912,
the year the will was made. The
largest part of them were addressed
to the daughter. Myers testified that
his father had written to Senator
Mitchell at one time, to Inquire what
sort of man Dr. Robinson was. Mitcli
ell had f-poken to Senator Hanna about
It. and replied to the elder Myers that
RohlnHon was not reliable.
In one of the letters from Myers to
Mrs. tUevens at Ashland, he says he
left a bottle of champagne o( the
taole. He says. "1 have told you to
alvv-ays put wine on Its side. If you
don't It will get stale. If you cannot
get fruit for your mother in the town,
nor wine, go to the Pullman dining
car conductor, and he will give you
fresh fruit. If he has It."
In another letter, written from Se
attle. Myers wanted to have a phone
put In at the "Pratt home," where
Mrs. Myers was stopping, that he
mltfht talk to his wife. He says. "I
know the doctor will suffer, as he will
not take any chances. I fear he will
overdo himself."
Mrs. Francis Testifies.
Mrs. Francis was the first . witness
called yesterday afternoon. She testi
fied as follows:
"I knew Mr. Myers before he was
married. I lived in the family from the
time Mrs. Myers married him, or very
soon afterward, until Just before the
birth of George Myers, Jr. I was also
In the family between June, ll01, and
April. 1903. It was during the last week
In June, 1901, that Mrs. Myers became
ill."
"Were you with Mrs. Myers at the
time she fainted in the bathroom?"
asked Judge Pipes.
"Yes, I walked with her to the bath
room the Sunday after the 4th of June,
and she fainted. She complained at that
time of a pain In her side. Dr. Robin
son always said she had Intermittent
fever. I heard him say that many times.
"When Mrs. Myers went to Ashland T
was in St. Vincent's Hospital. A few
d3K after she came back to Portland I
came hack from Seattle, where I had
gone after she left the city. After her
return from Ashland Dr. Robinson was
fit the house every day to attend her, but
he didn't say at that time what was the
mntier with her.
"The Monday before she died she was
taken ill with a chill. Dr. Robinson and
Dr. Rockey went Into the room together.
7 suppose they made an examination.
Before she died Dr. Rockey came back
a lain several times.
"After his wife died I had a number
of conversations with Mr. Myers at his
borne concerning the causes leading up
to her death. He said. 'I was a coward,
or I would have called another doctor.1
The only thing I ever heard him say re
garding the improper treatment Dr. Rob
Inton had given his wife was that he
didn't know what was the matter with
Mrs. Myers. He called the doctor an old
scoundrel."
.Mrs. Prentiss Called.
The witness was excused and Mrs. F.
8. R. Prentiss called to the stand. She
said she had visited the Myers home a
nunTber of times, and was there in June,
11X11. She said she was also there from
June 10 to the last of October. ,"I had
been down In Southern Oregon and
Northern California, and came up at Mr.
Myers' request to visit his wife. ,
"Mrs. Myers was not very well then,
was she?" asked Judge Pipes.
"No, but she was more distressed men
tally than anything else."
The witness then testified that she saw
Dr. Robinson at the Myers home In June.
She said that when she first went there
?.Trs." Myers had a fever almost every
day. and that at the time they took Mrs.
Myers to Ashlnnd It was almost con
tinuous. She said she (Mrs. Prentiss was
there at the time Mrs. Myers fainted,
and that when Mrs. Kranois called for
help she went to her asslstanoe.
"The doctor didn't know at first what
the pain In her side was," continued the
witness, "but at last he said It was sci
atica, and gave me some liniament to
rub on. He gave me some anodyne to
relieve the pain. He also gave me several
other remedies. He had some drops there
for' her heart that were ln the house be
fore T came there. He said that If she
had any heart spells to give her some of
those drops. He said she had an un
usually weak heart for such a large-appearing,
healthy-looking woman."
"Did she ever take any quinine?" was
asked.
"Yes, 1 think she did. I knew she had
oninlne in the house, and had taken it
formerly. After Mrs. Myers had been sick
fr four or five weeks. .Mr. Myers became
vTv much worried because she didn't im
prove. Me asked his wife If she would
like to have Dr. Morrow. She did not
want to cross Dr. Robinson. However,
one day when I was treating her she
looked up and said. 'Oh. If 1 had had Dr.
Morrow or Dr. Darr 1 would have been
out of here long ago.' Dr. Robinson made
the remark once that if she didn't get
betfer soon he would call In another phy
, slcian and give up the cane.'
l'ndr cross-examination Mrs. Prentiss
SHid her name was Kelly when she was
at the Myers home. Sjhe had married
since. She said her home is now In San
1'rancisco. She said Mr. Prentiss Is en
gaged In the photographic paper business
In New York.
"And does he get out the labels for Mr.
Myers salmon cans?"
"No. no. he d-als In photographic pa
per," answered the witness.
tieorge T. Myers, Jr., Testifies.
George T. Myers. Jr.. was then put on
the stand. He said he was 39 years old.
that he became associated with his
father in the cannery business In lsjfi,
and that Mr. Stewart associated with
the elder Myers In the cannery business
about 13 years ago.
He was asked if his father had ever
talked with him concerning the will and
said that he had. It was about Decem
ber 24, 1908. The two were at the Alex
ander Hotel, in Dos Angeles. "We were
sitting there one night." said Myers,
"and father said, 'I have left nearly
everything to you. I don't want you to
let that man Stevens have the handling
of one cent of this money that 1 have
earned.' Father and I had gone to Los
Angeles on a pleasure trip, and we were
there a week, or a week and a half.
This Is the only time that I remember of
there being a conversation about the
will.
"He told me fhat Mr. Dolph had his
will, and said 'If anything ever happens
to me you can get the will from Mr.
Dolph.' He said be wanted Mr. Dolph
and Mr. Simon to take care of the
property for him. tThe conversation
lasted for 10 or 15 minutes.
"I was not in Portland at the time my
mother was taken ill. That was In June,
1901. I was in Seattle that Summer and
Fall. My father was In Seattle and
Portland, about two-thirds of the time In
Portland."
Here followed testimony corroborative
of that given by other witnesses, the
witness saying his father told him that
Dr. Robinson,, had said the climate at
Green River Hot Springs was not good
and Mrs. Myers should go to a higher
altitude. "This was about the middle of
September," continued the witness, "and
I visited her about October 21, 1901. I

was with her only one day. She was
then In bed. and could hardly talk, she
was so weak. Dr. Robinson was attend
ing her. My sister was with her, and
they had a nurse by the name of Drake,
from San Francisco, I think."
The witness said that Dr. Holt C. Wil
son was the family physician and that
Dr. Morrow was once called In, that they
had attended the family before Dr. Rob
inson was called. He said he had been
to Ashland within the last month and
had found a number of Dr. Robinson's
prescriptions, which had been filled at
MoNair's drugstore In Ashland.
Mr. Myers was then withdrawn from
the witness stand and Dr. K. A. J. Mac
kenzie placed on. the stand as an expert
witness to explain the effects of acute
nephritis and peritonitis and a pelvic
abscess. He said a pelvic abscess should
be detected, on account of the pro
nounced symptoms accompanying it, very
soon after the physician has been attend
ing the patient, provided the physician
attended the patient regularly.
Myers was then recalled to the stand.
After Identifying a number of his father's
letters, he told of his father writing to
Senator Mitchell about Dr. Robinson, and
as It was 5 o'clock the court adjourned
until 10 o'clock this morning.
ASKS $16,852 FOR
LEG
A. W. Frazee Sues Standard Box &
Lumber Co.
A. W. Frazee has brought suit against
the Standard Box & Lumber Company to
recover $16,852 damages. The complaint.
Which has been filed in the Circuit Court,
alleges that owing to the carelessness of
the company Frazee lost a leg on May 11,
1907. He says he was required to work
as off-bearer near a rolling crane, to
which grab-hooks were attached. These
were for the purpose of holding cants of
timber while they were being transfer
red from one. part of the mill to another.
It is alleged.that owing to the negligence
of the box company the hooks were used
after they were much -worn, and that, not
enough hooks were furnished to make the
handling of the timber safe. The timber
slipped from the hooks and fell on Fra
zee, crushing his right leg so it bad to be
amputated. He asks $16,000 for the injury,
J1100 on account of the services of a phy
sician and for medicine, and $7a2 for the
wages he lost.

DUE TO TEXAS RAILROAD LAW
Gould Says Improvements Are Or
dered While Income Decreases.
NEW YORK, Feb. 26. The Interna
tional & Great Northern Railway Com
pany, organized in 1S73 and re-organized
In 1S92, operates 1158 miles of road in
Texas, one branch running from Long
view to Laredo and other branches from
Fort Worth and from Palestine to Gal
veston. The company has a bonded in
debtedness of $25,Xi7.053 and capital stock
is issued to the maount of $9,755,000.
George J. Gould is president of the In
ternational & Great Northern Railway
Company and Its main offices are in Pal
estine, Texas.
Concerning the appointment at Fort
Worth, Tex., today of a receiver for the
International and Great Northern Com
pany, George Gould, president of the, com
pany, tonight said:
The receivership for the International &
Great Northern should cause no surprise
and Is due to conditions and reasons almost
entirely local. At a time when revenues
are the leanest and business is at the low
est ebb. tli company is called upon by the
slate commission to make additions and
Improvements Involving the expenditure of
several millions of dollars, and to proceed
in these exj-'endltures upon a schedule pre
scribed by the commission without regard
to current revenues or the ability of the
company to secure funds to meet the 'ex
penditures. These orders have come on top pf a' de
crease In gross earnings for the last ,our
months of $9N9.O0O. or a decrease at the
rate of nearly $3,000,000 a year. It has been
Impossible to reduce expenses anywhere
near proportionately. Even where the earn
ings are as large as formerly, they would
not provide for these extensive and immense
outlays, and the laws of Texas do not ad
mit, even if financial markets did. of the
issue and sale of securities to do the work
required of the company. ,
The orders of the commission have the
effect of laws and the requirements now
placed on the company without the reve
nues, the credit, the securities or the market
to provide the money means such Insolvency
as would under the laws of Texas empower
the state authorities to apply for a receiver
ship. What I have said Is not Intended as any
criticism of the Texas authorities or of their
action.
