TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1908. 5 T Actor Flatly Denies Serious Charge Made by Young Girls. TELLS STRAIGHT STORY Says Children Went Auto Riding With Him and Visited His Hom IVith tlio Consent Their Parents. of NEW YORK, June 9. Taking the witness-stand today in his own defense, Raymond Hitchcock, the actor, flatly denied the charges made asainst him that he had been improper in his con duct with two young- girls, Helen von Hagen. and Elsie Voecks. Hitchcock appeared as a witness shortly after the closing of the state's case in the trial of the actor today. It is expected; that the case will go to the jury tomorrow. Hitchcock made an excellent wit ness, arguing the questions put to him clearly and unhesitatingly. He stated that he first met the Von Hasen girl In 1904 and that long- afterward she met him at the Garden Theater and he asked her to ride with him in his automobile. The actor said he told her to ask her mother If she might go. She returned with Elsie Voecks, saying- she had obtained consent to make the trip. Mothers Not Deceived. Hitchcock said that after a visit to his house In the afternoon, he started to put the girls on the train for New York. He reiterated that their mothers knew where they were. The last train having gone, the girls remained at hl3 home that night. Afterward, he met them and told them he had heard that they had made remarks reflecting upon his character. The girls, he declared, denied making any disparaging re marks. Hitchcock denied that his relations with either of the girls had been Im proper. Wife Takes the Stand. Flora Zabelle, Hitchcock's wife, testified briefly, corroborating wnat her husband told her of his meeting with the young girls and of the automobile ride. Of the witnesses called today, tho most important was Elsie Voecks, aged 14, one of the defendant's alleged vic tims. She told of visits made in com pany with Helen Von Hagen. who tes tified yesterday to visiting Hitchcock's home at Great Neck, L. I., and a house on Forty-first street, where they met the actor on several occasions. In some respects her testimony corroborated that given by Jliss Von Hagen, but on cross-examination she became badly confused several times. Never Wronged Her. Tn reply to a direct question by Hitchcock's counsel whether Hitchcock ever wronged her, she replied that he never did. She said also that Helen Von Hagen never told her of anything wrong having taken place when she had first visited the Forthy-First- street house. She contradicted the tes timony of Miss Von Hagen with refer ence to an alleged attempt of Hitch cock to enter their room one night when they were at Great Neck. She said she never told anyone, not even the grand jury, that Hitchcock had at tempted to enter their room. Tells or Auto Ride. Miss Voecks told of a ride to Great Neck. I. I., in Mr. Hitchcock's automo bile with Hitchcock and Miss Von Hagen, as described by the latter yesterday. They had to walk back to New York, the witness said, and a few days later they went to Brooklyn to visit the actor at the Montauk Theater, where he was playing. Miss Voecks then passed to the description of a meeting at Mr. Hitch cock's room in Manhattan, on which oc casion Miss Von Hagen had testified that Hitchcock attempted to assault Miss Voecks. This evidence was corroborated by the witness today, with little devia tion in the story as told yesterday tiy Miss ,Von Hagen. Chanler May Testify. In the course of her examination yes terday, Miss von Hagen said site met a Mr. William Chanler In Hitchcock's Great Neck residence, on a certain Sunday. To day counsel for William Astor Chanler had a conference with Hitchcock's attor neys, at which the testimony was dis cussed, and as a result it is expected that Mr. Chanler. will be called by the defense to contradict the girl's testimony. DIVIDES THE RACE VOTE (Continued Krom First Page.) lngton, general counsel for all the con testing Taft delegations. Mr. McHarg had not been informed by the political managers of the Impending settlement and during his argument before the committee declared that there would bo no compromise whatever, stating that he had visited the South "at th request of the next President of the United States," his words plainly re ferring to the Secretary of War, Senator W. D. Heyburn, of Idaho, leaped tg his feet the instant Mr. M'Harg concluded his argument. The Senator was livid with wrath and protested vehement ly against the language used by the gen eral counsel, declaring that It was noth ing less than a "bold threat. Intended to compel the committee to do as he de sired." The Taft men on the committee at once attempted to smooth it over, but Sena tor Scott, of West Virginia, refused to be reconciled and declared that he be lieved that Mr. M'Harg had spoken ex actly as he thought, and that he waa attempting to browbeat the committee. Left In Dark by Taft Men. Iater Mr. M'Harg, in adressing the committee on the Mississippi contest, of fered a graceful apology, saying that he had spoken merely as coungel and not for the Secretary of War. This closed the incident entirely, ex cept when Mr. M"Harg called upon the Taft managers and expressed his opinion of their conduct In letting him go before the committee to make an argument lTno that without being possessed of full and accurate information of what the Taft people purposed to do. The division on the Louisiana compro mise was the first test of strength that has been made since the committee met. and this was not decisive, because' some of the Taft men voted for the settle ment. The vote was taken at the con clusion of the hearing of the contest from Mississippi. The Alabama men called for a division and 30 members of the commit tee arose to their fet in favor of seat ing the Taft delegation. The call for the opposition was made and no one rose, and the Taft men were then assured they had 30 votes in the committee. lata la the afternoon, jtiiea -ChaA$yX. HITCHCOCK AKES WITNESS STAND man New was compelled by business affairs to leave the committee,' he called upon Judson W. Lyons, of Georgia, the only colored man on the committee, to preside over the. delib erations. Mr. Lyons presided during the hearing of the Mississippi con tests and acquitted himself In a most creditable manner. , Out for Second Place: ' The' opening of headquarters for John Hays Hammond, of Massachu setts, during the day brought the Vice-Presidential situation to the front. He was the first to avow his candidacy in a definite form, but co incident with his activity came the movement In behalf of Governor Cur tis Guild, of Massachusetts, who will be strongly urged when the full force of the delegation from his state ar rives late in the week. . The New York candidates, tentative and otherwise, are numerous. George B. Cortelyou, Secretary of the Treas ury, is also busy, as is J. Sloat Fas sett. The East also has brought for ward another possibility in the person of Franklin Murphy, ex-Governor of New Jersey and National committee man from that state. From the West, J. P. Dolliver, United States Senator from Iowa, was the most prominently mentioned. Sen ator J. C. Burrows, of Michigan, who is to be temporary chairman of the National convention, and Lieutenant Governor Sherman, of Illinois, also found supporters among the politi cians. Argument for Cortelyou. There was some talk that the placing of Mr. Cortelyou upon the ticket would result in the criticism that two mem bers of the present cabinet would be running for tne chief, offices of the country, provided that Mr. Taft is nom inated for the Presidency. To thi3 com plaint the friends of Mr. Cortelyou re plied that, while the Secretary might be very popular with the administra tion, he also possessed great strength of his own with the commercial inter ests of the country, which would make him an available and formidable can didate. There was a strong general feeling, however, that an Eastern man should be given the second place on th8 ticket. This sentiment was used to the limit by friends of the Eastern candidates for the purpose of eliminat ing western possibilities. In addition, it was pointed out that the present situation in Iowa Is unset tled, because of the recent struggle be tween the Allison and Cummins fac tions and that it would be unwise for the National party to take any step that might bring the contest to the fore. Despite the talk of the Vice-Presidential situation, there was no inclina tion on the part of any of the leaders to pose as authorities for or against any candidate. All asserted that the situation could not be brought to a focus as yet and that developments of the next few days might change the entire aspect of affairs. Advocates of the compromise in Louis iana argue that if the Foraker delegations are recognized partially, the Taft forces will gain strength among the negro vot ers of the North, many of whom are be lieved to be convinced that the National committee is discriminating against their race by its decisions In favor of the "Lily Whites." of Florida and Georgia. Mr. Hitchcock points out in reply to this argument that many of the delegates who have been seated are negroes and that this element of the party is certain to have felenty of representation on the floor of tlie convention. The advance guard of the big crowds will soon arrive. The New York men, 1000 strong, will arrive Saturday. The next largest delegation wiil come from Pennsylvania. Its members are expected Saturday night, and most of the Illinois party will also be here at that time. The big marching clubs that are to participate in the demonstration in con vention hall Wednesday morning of next week will be here Saturday. Their part in the convention is expected to be one of the most spectacular features of the gathering. Committeeman H. C. McCoy, the mem ber from the Philippine Islands, appeared today. This deprived Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, of his proxy. ALLIES PREPARING APPEAL Will Say Favorite Son States Ig nored Cannon Builds Platform. CHICAGO, June 9. The arrival of Speaker Cannon and Senator Dick, of Ohio, in the city revived the activity about the headquarters of the allies. At least three conferences were held during the afternoon and evening by the leaders of the anti-Taft forces, the subject of discussion being the state ment which the allies are preparing to issue in a few days. This statement, it is said, will appeal to the delegates' of the convention on the grounds that "the favorite son" states New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois are being Ignored by the National commit tee for the sake of getting delegates from Southern states whose electoral votes are practically nil, so far as the Republican- party is concerned. Defi nite information regarding this state ment was refused. The tariff plank in the platform re ceived attention from Mr. Cannon. He and Senator A. J. Hopkins, of Illinois, who is expected to be chairman of the resolutions committee of the conven tion, conferred at length upon it and agreed upon a tentative draft of the measure Mr. Hopkins will take this to Washington with him when he goes to the capital to attend sessions of the monetary commission. Mr. Cannon is also reported to have Indorsed other tentative sections of the platform, the nature of which was not announced. OREGON DELEGATES ARRIVE Advance Guard In Chicago Others Delayed by Floods. CHICAGO, June 9. (Special.) The advance guard of the Oregon delegation to the Republican National Convention arrived today at noon over the North western road and is temporarily quar tered at the Palmer House. Those In the party were: B. Thomson and Mrs. Thomson, of Pendleton; R. E. Williams, of Dallas: C. G. Huntley, of Oregon City; Dr. J. Hickey and J. H. Brown, of Port land. Dr. Coe, another Oregon delegate, who left over the Northern Pacific route, is held up by the floods In Montana. Other Oregon delegates are expected to drift in later In the week. "It looks like Taft on the first bal lot," said J. H. Brown, of Portland, one of the alternates. "The War Secretary will have a walk-away as far as the con vention is concerned."

WANT TO GO TO CHICAGO Determined j to Adjourn Thursday and Get Away to Convention. Well - Managed Obstructions "Will Defeat Pet Measure. ALBANY, N. Y., June 9. Precarious in the extreme is the condition of the bills framed to carry out Governor Hughes' renewed recommendation for the abolition of the present legal pro tection of public gambling at .race tracks. Governor Hughes and tne friends of the bill, confidently expect that Senator Foelker, of Brooklyn, whose vote is apparently indispensable to the passage of the bills and who has been absent because of illness, will come to Alibany tomorrow in time to vote for the bills should they reach that stage of progress. The point at which the measures stand tonight, however, is one that lies in the shortness of the time re maining before the hour of 2 P. M. on Thursday, when the leaders of both houses intend to adjourn the extraor dinary session without delay. In order to start for Chicago to attend the Re publican convention. So short is the time that well-managed obstructions in either house or both might well suf fice to prevent the bills coming to a vote at all before adjournment. It became plain today that the oppo sition was depending largely on the short ness of the remaining time to talk the bills to death. The Senate committee on Judiciary and codes, to which the bills were referred, acted favorably on both. The assembly committee on codes this evening voted 8 to 1 to report them fa vorably. The negative vote was that of Curviller, of New York, Democrat, who proposed an amendment providing for the so-called mutual system of betting on races. The bills were reported in the assembly tonight. They will be reported in the Senate tomorrow. TAKES DARE; GIVES UP LIFE Lad of ,14 Drowns Berore Crowd of Companions in Lake Washington. SEATTLE, Wash., June 9. (Special.) A dare cost Peter Nelson, 14 years old, his life today. Young Nelson, with other boys, was swimming in Lake Washington near the old pumping station in the southern part of the city. Several of his companions who were a short distance out In the lake on a catamaran, dared him to swim to tnem. The Nelson boy was a good swimmer and started from the shore. The distance was hardly more than 100 feet. Half' way out a cramp seized him and he sank. As he rose he cried out for help, but the young sters on the catamaran laughed. Young Nelson was fond of jokes and his com panlons thought that he was merely en deavoring to fool them. He sank again. however, and a third time, before the others realized that he was drowning. When they finally did realize the situa tion it was too late, and he had gone down lor tne last time. MUTE EVIDENCE OF CRIME Bay at Poft Townsend Yields Body of Man With Throat Cut.

NO TREATIES INITIATED (Continued From First Pa-ge.) and the imperial yachts, surrounded by British and Russian warships, lying in the roadstead, made a beautiful and im pressive picture. The hills and the wooded shores of the bay were crowded with thousands and the arrival of the British King by sea and the Emperor of Russia by land was made the occa sion of unbounded enthusiasm. During the course of the day the King and Emperor were the guests of the Dowager Empress at luncheon on board the Russian yacht Polar Star, which was crowded with guests. All of the warships were brilliantly illu minated and the yachts Polar Star and Alexandra displayed special electrical effects. Early In the evening boatloads of German and Russian residents steamed about in. the roadstead and serenaded the royal visitors with national folk songs. The members of the royal par ties remained on deck until after mid night, listening to the music King Edward Jiad a long private conversation with Premier Stolypln af ter luncheon, returning to the cabin with him. Nothing in reference to the purport of the consultation has been published, but it Is understood that they touched political relations only in a general way.

King Edward was on the bridge of the Victoria and Albert, and the Emperor oc cupied a similar position on the Standart. King Edward wore the uniform of a Brit ish Admiral. While the British vessels were taking their positions, a Russian yachts and the cruisers were thundering a series of salutes, and the smoke from the cannon almost hid the pageant. The moment the visiting vessels dropped their anchors a launch bearing Emperor Nicholas left the side of the Standart and the Russian monarch board ed the Victoria and Albert, where ho ex changed very hearty greetings with King Edward, whom he had not seen for seven years, and saluted Queen Alexandra and Princess Victoria.
