SHAFFER'S WIDOW
TELLS HER STORY
Says Husband Was Shot Down
in Cold Blood by Na
than H. Suitter.
HAD MADE NO THREATS
Testimony Is Corroborated by Three
Other Witnesses Guest at Fatal
Birthday Party Gives Graphic
Account of the Tragedy.
That Henry Shaffpr, who was killed
by Nathan H. Suitter, never had trouble
with Jacob Holzworth. his landlord, Vas
the assertion made on the -witness ntand
In Judpe O'lay's department of the
Mrcuit Court yesterday morning- by Mrs.
Dora Shaffer, widow of the dead long
shoreman. She said that before Suitter
fired the fatal shot, on the night of
Marrh 1. she had been troubled by the
landlord, but taht her hushand never
had been bothered. She told her story
of the shooting and attendant circum
stances without apparent emotion. .
According to her testimony, her hus
band had not laid hands on Policeman
Suitter when the latter f.red the three
shots which proved fatal. Neither had
her hushand cursed the officer, she said,
but had simply asked twice for permis
sion to leave, the house, and when the
Tevolver was produced, had said: "I am
rot afraid of that gun." This, said the
witness, was partly In answer to her
warning, spoken in a low tone In Ger
ir.an to her husband. She told him to
come In the other room or the officer
would shoot him. She said she told
Shaffer this before Suitter drew the
weapon. When asked why she had
thought the policeman would shoot, she
said that he looked "awful mean," and
spoke roughly.
Although Mrs. Shaffer speaks English
poorly, it was necessary at times to check
ber. as she spoke so rapidly that she
could not be understood. Only once did
it appear that she was about to break
down under the strain of the rehearsal
of the tragedy, and that was when Judge
Henry E. McGinn, special prosecutor,
showed her the bloodstained garments
worn by her husband on the night of her
birthday party, when he was shot. Then
she put her handkerchief to her eyes, to
brush away the tears.
Five witnesses were examined during
the day. Three of them corroborated
Mrs. 8haffer's testimony in all essential
details.
Corroborates Her Story.
Jacob Stelkel, who had known Shaffer
for four years, and who was at the
birthday party, told yesterday afternoon
the story of the shooting. As he does
not understand English. It was necessary
to employ an Interpreter, and Otto Klee
man acted In this capacity. Stelkel said
he was In the kitchen at the time of the
shooting, and saw Suitter draw his re
volver. He corroborated Mrs. Shaffer's
testimony by saying that Shaffer had
made no threats of violence.
'I was playing the violin when Officer
Suitter came the first time." said the
witness. "1 did not know the officer was
there until some one said the police had
called. I asked Mrs. Shatter what
Suitter wanted, and she replied: 'He
wants us to stop." Then Mrs. ShafTer
went to her husband, who was in the
bathroom. She said: 'The policeman is
iut there. Shaffer said: 'Where is
be? , Then Mrs. Shaffer went Into the
front room and Shaffer followed.
"By that time Suitter was out of
doors. Shaffer went out and joined
him. I didn't play afterward, and
Shaffer soon came back. In a short
time Suitter came back and said, 'You
must stop now. I don't want any more
of St." Then the. members of the party
said. "We all have to go home now.'
Shaffer replied that they would have
two or three glasses of beer first, and
"shortly afterward the second police
man came. He remained In the dining
room, while Suitter went to the kitchen.
"1 was standing by the door, with the
violin in my hand, when Suitter put
me under arrest. I said, 'Shall I take
my music and instruments along, too?
He answered, 'Yes.' Then I strummed
a little on the cymbal, Hungarian
harp, which we had there, and Suitter
said, "You quit that or I will fix you.'
I wasn't making much noise. Suitter
had his club in his hand then.
"After that Suitter went to the rear
fcitchen door. 1 went and stood by the
window. While I stood there Shaffer
eame out of the bathroom, which ad
Joins the kitchen. While Shaffer was
still walking Suitter put his club away
and pulled bis revolver. Mrs. Shaffer
came to her husband and said In Ger
man. 'Henry, keep away or he will
shoot you.' Mr. Shaffer replied In Eng
llrh to his wife's request, 'I am not
afraid of the gun.' Then Suitter pulled
the trigger. He shot twice so rapidly
that the shots could hardly be counted.
Shaffer fell on his side, looked over to
where his wife was standing, and said,
Good-bye.' The blood spurted from
the wounds and he raised his head
once before .he died. v
"That Is all I saw, except that Suitter
stood there with the revolver in his
hand with it pointed toward Shaffer.
Lilttle Drinking Done.
"When Suitter fired he raised his
band to do it. because he was afraid of
bitting a child who stood there. Shaffer
didn't have hold of Suitter. Shaffer
wasn't, near enough to touch him. I
don't know what Shaffer said to Suitter
out on the sidewalk, but when Shaffer
returned he said, 'We will have to
stop now." I said. 'Will we have t go
borne,' and he said. 'No.' He said we
would have a right to stay until 10
o'clock. He said they had so much beer
there, and that we had a right to stay.
We didn't drink very much beer; I
didn't see much there, anyway."
Stelkel said that the officer had the
frun tn his hand before Mrs. Shaffer
spoke to ber husband, and before
Marie Borrowichka. one of the wit
nesses, told him to come away. In
this his testimony conflicted with that
of Mrs. Shaffer, who said that Suitter
bad not drawn the gun when she
sought to have her husband return to
the front room.
Mrs. Shaffer's testimony was prac
tically the same as Steikel's. She said
that only one beer keg was on tap.
Another had been purchased some
time before, she said, but had been
taken away. Upon this point the de
fense expects to show that her testi
mony is not correct, in that the keg
was there on that night, and was re
moved after the shooting.
Mrs. Shaffer said that besides the
beer, there were two demijohns of
wine, presented to her by one of the
invited guests. She said that the
women had no beer, only wine; that
her husband had not had any. and
that she herself had only one glass of
wine. She said she had three glasses
of beer later in the afternoon. She
said the men drank the beer, but were
not Intoxicated.
"When my husband was shot." said
the witness, "he was standing there as
meek as a lamb." She said she did not
know why the shooting was done, un
less it was because Sujtter wanted- to
shoot somebody. She was positive that
four shots were fired. Other witnesses
said there were only three.
There were about 20 persons assem
bled at the party. Mrs. Shaffer said.
Makes Sarcastic Retort.
Mrs. Shaffer said that Suitter made the
second visit to the house in about a half
hour, coming back with another officer,
the latter In uniform. Suitter was in
plain clothes at the time. She said the
two entered, the second policeman leav
ing immediately, after taking a look
around. She supposed he had gone to
call the patrol wagon, and when pressed
for a reason for this belief, said: "Well,
he didn't come to pray to God, or to
sing." Mrs. Shaffer denied that her hus
band had a revolver, saying that during
the eight years of their married life he
had never owned a gun.
Miss Borrowichka, one of the witnesses
of the morning, said that Suitter and
ShafTer walked side by side down the
street, apparently talking earnestly. Shaf
fer left the house at that time by the
rear door, she said, and met Suitter in
front of the house. She went to Shaffer
and tried to get him to leave the kitchen,
she said, but he pushed her away. She
said Shaffer was quiet in his actions.
After the shots were fired, she asserted,
the assembled guests began to yell for
the police.
Jacob Drieber was one of the witnesses
of the afternoon. He said Shaffer lay
with his head six feet from the bath
room door. After he was shot lie waved
his hand to his wife, as much as to say,
"Good-bye." The witness denied that
they had been drinking heavily. He said

FREE EDUCATION EVILS
C. S. Ilulin Says Recipients Won't
Obey Rules, and Are "Cheap."
PORTLAND. May 19. (To the Editor.)
I read with interest The Oregonian's
recent editorial in relation to the disturb
ances and insubordination at Stanford
University, and have also noticed that the
same kind of thin? has occurred in flagrant
form at the University of Michigran.
These occurrences are instances of the
dangers of free higher education, and
show the ever present tendency of
the human family to "look a gift horse
lit the mouth." This is the result of giv
ing that which should never be given,
but should always be paid for, and if
possible, earned by the student himself.
Stanford University Is a private enter
prise that is, it is not supported by taxa
tionbeing self-supporting by reason of
a great and munificent endowment, but
is a free school, and open to the same
objection on that score as a state-sup
ported institution.
The kernel of the whole matter is that
free, higher education is a mistake, and
in the present age is not accepted with
humility and gratitude, but is demanded
as a right. It is not appreciated, and its
recipients refuse to be governed by any
rules of conduct suitable for them and
for the Institutions they attend, and hold
themselves above all law. all decency or
good morals. They attend these schools
in a spirit of condescension, but they will
submit to no rules or methods of govern
ment by proper authority, and they will
."run things themselves, or else "strike'
and quit school (if Indeed they are not
dismissed) and go home in a spirit of
defiance, refusing to recognize that they
are disgracing themselves, their parents
and friends. Good citizenship is not a
sure product of free colleges supported
by taxation. Having striven for and ob
tained a free education at the expense
of the state, such recipients are apt to
strive for a free living afterwards. Free
education obtained as the result of cor
rupt political methods, breeds political
corruption in those who receive it, and is
the source of much of the political cor
ruption of the present day.
Just at this time, while these matters
and the contentions in regard to our
own state university are vivid in the
public mind, is a good time to pursue
inquiries In regard to conditions'; at the
University of Oregon and ascertain if the
reports concerning lack of discipline and
enforcement of proper rules of conduct
are true; if the reports of disorderly
carousals by the students in the dry
city of Eugene and the refusals of the
police department to interfere with them,
are founded on fact.
It is true that these conditions prevail
to a greater or less extent at all col
leges, but they appear in their most ag
gravated form at the free colleges. The
man who seeks and demands a free edu
cation lacks the fine old-fashioned sense
of honor that scorns to accept anything
he cannot pay for, and holds himself
above ail laws and all restraints.
A careful consideration of this subject
leads me to submit three propositions
which I hold to be self-evident and ab
solute facts:
First TlUs character of insubordination
exists in its worst form at the free col
leges.
Second Such Insubordination as occurs
at colleges where tuition is charged. Is
upon the part of students v.-hose expenses
and tuition are paid by tneir parents and
friends.
Third The man who earns and pavs his
own way through college is never guilty
or insu Domination.

J. ,V. McCullough Arrested for As
sault at Anabel Church Door on
Guest of the Hollingsworth
Bell Xuptlals.
riiihert Refuimont. of Anabel station was
severely hurt by being hit over the head
with the heavy butt of a whip while at
tempting to throw rice into a carriage
occupied by his newly wedded sister-in-law,
early yesterday afternoon. . The whip
was wielded by the coachman, J. V . Mc.
Cullough, who did not know Beaumont,
and thought the brother-in-law was mere
ly trying to annoy the bridal couple, Mr.
and Mrs. Orville Hollingsworth. who were
being driven to the Tjnion depot.
The assault occurred in front of the
Calvary Baptist Church, at East Eighth
and East Grant streets, Immediately after
the marriage ceremony. It was witnessed
by scores of wedding guests, as well as
by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Monroe, who
officiated at the ceremony.
Beaumont was badly stunned by the
blow, which was delivered with terrible
force, and Iris scalp was laid open for a
space of several inches. After the wound
had been attended, Beaumont went at
once to the Municipal Court, where Judge
Cameron issued a warrant for the arrest
of McCullough.
"It was downright meanness," said
Beaumont. "The coachman must surely
have known me. He drove me to my own
wedding not long ago. I can't under
stand why he should do such a thing,
and I shall prosecute him to the limit."
The unpleasant incident of the wedding
celebration was not witnessed by the
bridal party, the carriage being closed.
They continued on in the carriage all un
aware that a member of the family had
been brutally hit by the coachman who
was driving. Beaumont's wife was In the
carriage at the time, her sister, Miss
Vesta Bell, being the bride.
Beaumont and others had showered the
young couple liberally with rice as they
left the church, and the bride and groom
showed the customary haste in getting
away from the tiny nuptial pellets. As
the party got inside the carriage, the
coachman slammed the door, climbed
quickly to his seat and lashed his horses
Into a fast gait amid the parting saluta
tions of the guests.
Beaumont, armed with a paper of rice,
ran out to the vehicle, intent on giving
the bridal party a good sprinkling. He
caught hold of the side of the carriage,
whereupon the driver, without slowing
down, took his whip in both hands and
struck the young man over the head with
the butt. .
A warrant for the coachman's arrest
was placed in the hands of Patrolman
Burke. Beaumont went with the officer
to find the offender, saying he was willing
to devote the rest of the day to locating
McCullough. The coachman was arrested
later at the Lyons livery stable. He
would make no explanation of his con
duct. Bail in the sum of $50 was re
quired for his appearance today In the
Municipal Court.
WANTS BILL 332 PASSED
Mr. Rosenberg Thinks It Necessary
to Protect Columbia Salmon.
ASTORIA, Or., May 19. (To the Ed
itor.) In a recent issue The Oregon. an
urges the voters to vote "no" on the two
first bills at the June election. Care
fully reading this editorial, I find that
the main reason for this "no" vote is
the thought that the Legislature "ought"
to pass laws protecting our salmon. But
the Legislature has not done it, though
for 20 years wasteful methods of catch
ing fish have been prosecuted on the
Columbia River. .
Hence inlatory bill 332. to stop fishing
at the head of tide to lay a true foun
dation for future legislation, has been
presented to the voters of the state. Bill
332 has been .submitted by leading citi
zens of the state. organized In the
Columbia River Salmon Protective Asso
ciation. Thia bill was unanimously in
dorsed by the State Federation of Labor.
It was likewise indorsed by the annual
convention of the Oregon. State Grange,
in the following terms:
"Whereas, There has been referred to
the committee on resolutions for consid
eration the two fish bills relating to the
fishing industry, to be voted on at the
June election, bills Nos. 319 and 332. re
spectively, your committee has carefully
examined into these two bills as far as
their time would permit, and have to re
port that we favor proper protection to
all natural spawning ground; and to
that end we condemn as a great detri
ment to said industry and to our state
the operation of fish wheels in the nar
rows of said river and denmd and urge
the passage of a law removing the same
and also further recommend that said
law shall be so constructed as to remove
all traps from said stream.
Copy of report of committee on resolu
tions. State Grange of Oregon."
STANFORD XTXIVERSITT. Cal., May
13. Edward Rosenberg. 3ox 138, Astoria.
Or. Dear Sir: In response to a request
from Mr. Hylen, I am giving you my
opinion as to certain matters connected
with the salmon fishing in the Colum
bia. As you know, I was the first Com
missioner ever sent out to Investigate
the salmon. I spent some time in Asto
ria in 1880 and I have made a number of
visits there or farther north in the same
interest since then. I have not changed
my opinion in this time as to these mat'
ters.
tl) The ftshwheels and the stationary
trap In the Columbia River should be
abolished. It would be well for the
fishing interests of the country if the
stationary trap in all of it various
forms were everywhere eliminated, for
this is the most destructive and undls
crlminating kind of fishing. On the Co
lumbia, where the river is narrow and
swift, the fish wheel is not only very de
structive, but has the additional evil ef
fect of (a) taking work from the fish
ermen, and (b) of taking the fish when
they are not in the best condition, for
fish for canning ought to be taken in
tide-water.
(2) It would be well if all fishing on
a large scale above tide-water in the
Columbia should be prohibited.
(3) I would also recommend that a
careful study of gill-net and similar
methods of fishing be made, with a view
to the ultimate interest of the fishing
industry, as even If worse forms of fish
ing were eliminated, there are still per
haps too many gill-nets for the size of
the river.
To prohibit gill-net fishing after dark
would virtually destroy the effectiveness
of that industry at all times when the
water is clear. Very truly yours,
j DAVID STARR JORDAN.
. Thus pleading and urging true protec
tion of our salmon, are leading citizens
of our state, the organized workers of
our cities and farms, and adding great
weight to our work is President David
Starr Jordan, the greatest fishery expert
of the t'ntted Slates.
On behalf of the fishermen and a great
food supply, I ask The Oregonian to help,
us in this righteous fight.
ED ROSENTtERG,
Sec'y United Fishermen of the Pacific.

carried to his carriage by his attendants.
In opening his testimony, the Senator
said he was nearly 75 years old. His first
wife died in 1901. He first met Miss Wood
in 1901.
Then came his string of denials. He
never saw Miss Wood at the Oriental
hotel in his life. He never asked her In
August, 1901. at that hotel, to be his wife,
nor at any other time or place. He did
not talk about marriage to her in No
vember, 1901, nor did he on Thursday,
November 9, 1901. ask her to marry him.

written to Miss Wood were produced and

he denied having written any of them.
The letter reading:
"The letter is so bright, it almost rec
onciles me to OdelPs election," was dated
1905, and Mr. Stanchfield asked:
"Odell was elected way back In 1900,
was he not?"
"He was."
. '"Yes, that was the- year he beat me,
and I thought I could not be mistaken,"
said Mir. Stanchfield, which raised a
laugh in the courtroom. In which the
Senator joined.
The Senator positively denied having
had Improper relations with Miss Wood,
did not believe he ever called her by a
more endearing name than Catty, and
did not remember telling her he was mis
erable. A letter which he Is alleged to
have written to Miss Wood in 1902 was
read, in which he said she must not ex
pect much from him as his time was
occupied and "life Is hardly worth liv
ing." After the convention he hoped to meet
her. It ended, "peace and plenty be with
you."
Mr. Piatt said:
"I don't think it is a genuine letter. I
would not write a letter In such a tone
to her now or at any time."
Being shown the letter, he said it was
not in his handwriting. He said he liked
to correspond with her, and being asked
If she was the only one, said:
"She was one."
He did not understand why he told her
to occupy a certain room at the Fifth
avenue Hotel, but said he told her to
await his signal, because he was going to
take dinner with her.
The Senator eaid he could not re
member whether he kept the engage
ment, but he was certain Miss Wood
did not stay with him In his suite that
night. He said he was not In the habit
of inviting women to the Fifth-avenue
Hotel. He could not recall whether
his secretary, Mr. Howe, was at the
hotel on the nigrht of November 9,
1901, nor could be say whether Mr.
Howe, who had been a clergyman, re
mained a licensed minister wnile in
his employ. Asked If Mr. Howe signed
his letters In facsimile of the Senator's
writing, the witness said he never had
seen such signatures.
The Senator did not recall how many
times he met Miss Wood in 1902. He went
to the house of Mrs. Lamont in West
Thirty-eighth street at times, he said,
but never sent for Mies Wood to meet
htm there. He was not permitted to an
swer a question as to whether he used
an assumed name when visiting at the
Lamont place.
No Secret Marriage.
"Was there a secret arrangement be
tween you and Miss Wood as to mar
riage ?'-'-be was asked.
"That is absolutely false," the Senator
replied.
The Senator said he met J. Martin Mil
ler frequently, but he denied any knowl
edge of the plan for obtaining his letter
to Miss Wood which was told of in the
statement purporting to be signed by Mil
ler, which was introduced in the case
yesterday.
He did not obtain the letters in 1903;
did not recall ever having had them and
did not recall that Miller had anything
to do with securing them. He denied that
Miller ever demanded money from his
son Frank for that purpose, but had en
dorsed a 11000 note for Miller, which had
been amost entirely paid.
He recalled receiving a letter from Howe
& Hummel in reference to a contemplated
case against him and gave bis son, Frank
Piatt, J10.000 to secure the return of cer
tain letters in this case. He understood
the case was brought for Miss Wood,
he ''said. When he said previously that
he paid no money for the letters, he
meant that he paid none to J. Martin
Miller.
