Case.
LEFT IN CARE OF BAILIFF
fudge Orders That All Twelve Men
First Called to Jury Box to Be
Kept Together Adjourns
Today at Noon.
The trial of the Booth conspiracy case
efore United States Judge Wolverton was
aegun yesterday afternoon after James
Henry Booth and Thomas E. Singleton,
two of the three defendants, had entered
pleas of not guilty. The other defendant
IB Robert A. Booth. ex-State Senator and
president of the Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company of Eugene. He refused to unite
rith his co-defendants in filing a demurrer
to the Indictment and entered a plea of
aot guilty shortly after the indictment
aas reported over three years ago.
The examination of jurors began at 2
P. M. and during the afternoon only three
f the necessary 12 were accepted. They
S'ere: C. C. Hoopes, of Yaqutna Bay,
Lincoln County; George Ball, of Ballston.

Tamhill, Yamhill County. The examina
tion of F. J. Pettit, of Monmouth, Polk
bounty, the fourth man called to the Jury
dox. was not completed at 5 P. M. when
:ourt declared an adjournment until 10
'clock this morning. '
Court Surprises Veniremen.
Before adjourning court. Judge Wolver
tnn announced that at the request of the
jovernment the original 12 men that had
been called to the jury-box would be
ept together until It coulej be determined
:n their examination by respective counsel
whether or not they should qualify as
lurors in the case. This announcement
:ame somewhat as a surprise, particularly
to the nine veniremen, who, not having
oeen reached In the examination as to
their qualifications as jurors in the case,
ixpected to be permitted to return to their
domes for the night and report In court
:hls morning. But under the order of the
court they were not allowed to separate
ind were given over to the custody of
Bailiffs Kelly and Hamilton.
When court convened yesterday after
noon, rolloal of the 5 jurors that had
seen summoned, disclosed the presence
of only 51. Of these. 13 offered valid ex
cuses and were dismissed by Judge
Wolverton. They were: Frank Coad. of
Dallas; William M. Gates. Russellville:
tV illiam B. Patterson, of Portland; George
I. Erdner. of Portland: Richard Price,
af Portland: John Pugh. of Shcdds: Wil
liam H. H. Morgan, of Portland; W. TV.
Pol land, of Shedds; W. B. Peacock, of
Portland: Frank Rumelein. of Portland;
vV II. Markell, of Portland: Henry Can
Selri. of Dallas, and James C. Shofner, of
Portland. Among those excused were Mr.
Push, who served as foreman of the last
Federal grand Jury, and Mr. Polland. a
member of the jury that acquitted James1
Henry Booth three weeks ago.
Only Threa Defendants.
The examination of prospective jurors
is being conducted by Judge L. R.
EVebster for the defense and Assistant Attorney-General
Becker for the Govern
ment. Before the selection of the Jury
scxan. however, Mr. Becker caused the
dismissal of the indictment as against
lohn Doe, Richard Roe and other defend
mts whose true names were not given,
txplainlng that the prosecution had failed
:o apprehend them. This left only three
iefendants. the two Booths and their
jrother-in-law. Singleton.
Jude Webster sought to learn from
;he Jurors whether or not they ever had
icqulred any publie lands themselves.
:heir attitude respecting the presumption
3t innocenso of the defendant in criminal
prosecutions and If they believed the
Dtirden of proof rested with the Govern
ment which by evidence must establish
:lie guilt of the accused beyond all reason
able doubt. He was also careful to in
quire If the jurors were acquainted with
Francis J. Heney or had heard or read
fcny of his addresses.
Questioned on Land Laws.
Mr. Becker confined his questioning
largely to determining the opinion of the
jurors as to the Justness of the public
land laws of the country and whether
they considered thes;- laws should be en
forced. The examination of the first Juror. Mr.
Hoopes. by Judge Webster occupied 50
minutes, the juror finally being accepted
by the defense. Mr. Hoopes was also ac
cepted by the Government following
seven minutes of questioning by Mr.
Becker. The Juror admitted that early in
the "i0s he tiled on a homestead in Clacka
mas County on which he proved up. the
record at the Oregon City Land Office,
he said, showing there were better im
provements on this claim than on any
other on which final proof had been made
at that orrlce. When asked to define his
feelings with regard to men accused of
Criminal offenses, Mr. Hoopes quoted the
Golden Rule as the complete expression
of his thoughts on the subject. This .ex
planation proved entirely satisfactory to
both sides.
Was on Mitchell Venire.
George Ball, the second juror examined
and accepted, was included In the venire
that was summoned for the original land
frauri trials four years ago when Senator
Mitchell was the defendant. The jury was
completed before Mr. Ball's name was
reached and he was discharged a few days
later without having served on any of the
cases.
F. J. Pettit was being examined when
court adjourned for the day. In the
course of his examination. Mr. Pettit de
clared his belief that land frauds had
teen committed In this Btate and he be
lieved that the guilty parties should be
prosecuted and punished. He considered
himself competent to give the defendants
a fair and impartial trial. His examina
tion will be concluded when court con
venes this morning.
The other eight of the first 12 men called
to the jury-box and whose examination
will be. taken up today, were: H. T.
Buxton, of Forest Grove. Washington
County; Frank H. Wall, of Portland: T.
j. Munkers. of Sclo. Linn County: J. H.
Mulkey, of Monmouth, Polk County;
Robert Ev Davis, of Portland: F. S. Doern
becker, of Portland: Delos D. Neer. of
Portland, and George Randall, of New
Era, Clackamas County.

corrpleted before the noon adjournment
tomorrow when court will adjourn until
10 A. M. Monday.

Henry E. G. Cooke, alleged land
fraud operator of New York, occupies
a cell In the Multnomah County Jail
In default of $4000 bonds. Cooke was
brought to Portland Wednesday night
from Baker City, w here he was arrest
ed on an Indictment that had been re
turned by a Federal grand jury In New
Tork c&arslss fclm witii conspiring to
defraud the Government of timberlands I
In Eastern Oregon. Cooke was brought
to this city by Deputy United States
Marshal Nicholson and will remain in
jail until the necessary papers arrive
from New York, when Judge Wolver
ton will issue the order directing that
Cooke be delivered to the Federal au
thorities In New York.
OIL FIRE UNDER CONTROL
Loss by Conflagration at Orcutt,
Cal., Will Be $150,000.
SANTA BARBARA. Cal., July 16 The
smoke of the great oil fire that started
Tuesday night at Orcutt still darkens the
sky over the Santa Maria fields and the
oil-soaked site of the tanks whioh yester
day were destroyed is furnishing fuel for
a scorching blaze, but the fire is expected
to burn itself out in a day or two with
out doing any more damage. All avenues
to the town of Orcutt and the undestrt J:d
property of the Union Oil Company have
been closed to the fire, which is now con
fined within a comparatively small area.
At noon today the fire was reported
under control. L. L. Stevens, one of the
men reported killed yesterday by falling
into one of the blazing oil tanks, died
early today of his injuries. The report
that more than two had lost their lives
is not confirmed. Efforts to save the
pumping plant of the Union Oil Com
pany were unsuccessful and the building
and machinery fell a prey to the flames
during the early morning. A large quan
tity of oil had previously been saved by
pumping through the pipe lines to Port
Harford. The aggregate loss Is figured at
J1M.000.
Several weeks will be required to i
habilltate the damaged property, which
was one of the most complete plants on
the Coast. ,
FAST. TRAIN IS WRECKED
AVoman Killed and 12 Injured in
Greenwich, Conn.
GREENWICH, Conn., July 16. The
White Mountain Express, over the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad,
leaving New York at 8:45 this morning and
due to go through here at a rate of about
50 miles an hour at 9:20, was derailed
and almost completely wrecked on' the
bridge over Greenwich avenue in this
town. One woman passenger was al
most instantly killed, one other woman
very badly injured, and at least a dozen
other passengers were more or les3 seri
ously hurt, so that they had to be taken
to the local hospitals. The passenger
killed was Miss Marguerite Armstrong, of
Wayne, Pa., an occupant of one of the
Pullman coaches. It appears that Miss
Armstrong was attempting to get out of
the window when the coach toppled over,
crushing her to death.
The train was made up of nine coaches,
of which seven were Pullmans. Outside
of the derailment the day coaches suf
fered practically no harm, while the Pull
mans were all overturned. The train was
drawn by two electric locomotives.
The engineers and both conductors of
the wrecked train have been placed un
der arrest.
DYNAMITERS ARE FOILED
Police Save San Diego Tenement
House Prom Destruction.
SAN DIEGO. Cal., July 16. The po
lice this morning discovered three
nitro-glycerin bombs under a tenement-house
where resided a number of
Greeks and Italian workmen. The
bombs were crude affairs and appar
ently home-made. They were laid and
the fuses and caps were ready when an
officer appeared. A man started from
the place on the run and his actions
compelled an Investigation, with the
result stated.
The police are of the opinion that
some labor trouble is responsible for
the attempt to blow up the house.
FAIRBANKS MINERS RAISE FUNDS
FOR DEAD COMRADE'S DAUGHTER
That Warm-Hearted Men of Frontier Are Not All in Fiction Is Shown by
Gift to Portland Widow.
BT ARTHUR A OKEES'E.

B
RET HARTE and his legion of im
tators have told us of the ope
handed liberality of men with the
bark on. How, in cow-camps and mining-camps,
the cry of distress had only
once to be heard to find an answer.
How the fellows who might be shy on
English and polite manners were nev
ertheless well stocked with the milk
of human kindness, and how they were
always ready to dig up whatever they
had in their pokes to help those whose
misfortunes commanded their sympa
thies. Too often we are inclined to ac
cept stories of the miner's and fron
tiersman's kindly generosity as pretty
fictions and let it go at that. An ac
tual Instance of the goodness of the
Alaskan miners has come to the atten
tion of certain Portland people within
a day or two. however, which is cal
culated to restore one's faith In hu
manity. The gist of the story is contained in
the following telegram:
FAIRBANKS. Alaska. July .
Dr. E. P. Gcarv. Portland. Or. Richards
baby fund exceeds itxiO- Wire full name of
baby, condition of mother and disposition of
funds. GOODWIN.
Back of this brief message is a pathetic
story of suffering, misfortune and death
and a happier sequal than is often met
with in real experience. The telegram
means that the despair of ap invalid and
destitute mother Is changed to hope and
confidence for the future of herself and
her pretty 4-year-old daughter and that
every night a baby's prayer goes up for
"Goodwin" and the men of the North.
Last February a young man named J.
C. A. Richards, who was formerly em
ployed at the Doernbecher furniture fac
tory, found himself out of work with a
wife and child to support. There was
reported to be a demand for men to work
the mines at Fairbanks, and Richards
made up his mind to try his fortunes in
the Northern mining camp. He arrived
at Fairbanks early in April and found
employment. About the same time his
wife. who remained here with their
child, was stricken with what appeared
to be tuberculosis and went to the Open
Air Sanitarium for treatment. She was
greatly distressed for means and received
but scant tidings of her husband- A sis
ter came out from Chicago to nurse her
and through the efforts of Dr. E. A.
Pierce, she was given whatever medical
care was possible. A short time ago.
like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came
the news that her husband had died sud
denly at Fairbanks, on June 14. Mrs.
Richards had received no previous warn
ing and was completely prostrated.
A few days later came a number of be
lated letters from her husband, written
while he was In the best of health, tell
ing of his success in securing work and
his joy at being able to accomplish some
thing for his wife and child. The dis
tracted wife heard nothing more from
Fairbanks until a day or two ago, when
the telegram printed above was received,
conveying the Intelligence that the
miners of the far Northern camp had
raised a fund of i000 for the wife and
child of the unfortunate man who had
hvea among them but two rooctis. Act'
ROBBER STOUTLY
DENIES INSANITY
Nevertheless Fred Hamilton
Will Probably Escape Pen
alty of His Crime.
KNOWN TO BE IRRATIONAL
Acquaintances of Former Athlete
Relate Many of His Vagaries,
Nearly All of Which Show
Passion for Gems.
Ask Fred Hamilton if he is crazy or
even given to occasional mental lapses
and the one-time football star and crack
sprinter will look at you in astonish
ment. Then the question will seem to
appeal to his sense of humor and he will
laugh at you.
"Crazy, of course I'm not are you?" is
his invariable response.
Notwithstanding that his only hope of
escaping the Penitentiary lies in estab
lishment of the proof that he Is mentally
unsound or was at the time he pilfered
three jewelry stores several mornings
ago, Hamilton scouts the idea of mental
unsoundness. He says he not only is ra
tional now, but was in his right mind
when he robbed the jewelry stores, dis
playing in his crimes a boldness that
does not bespeak well for his judgment, to
say- the least.
Bond Fixed at $2500.
No effort was made to get Hamilton off
on preliminary examination when his
case was called in the Municipal Court
yesterday forenoon. A formal plea of
not guilty was entered by Attorney John
Stevenson, representing Hamilton, and
examination was waived. The bond was
fixed at $2500. and since he couldn't pro
duce any such amount, Hamilton was
taken to the County Jail later in the day
and given into the custody of Sheriff Ste
vens. It is believed there will be no great
difficulty in convincing a jury that Ham
ilton wasn't responsible for his conduct
when he set out on an expedition of
wholesale robbery Tuesday morning.
There is a look in his eye which is not
that of a man altogether sane. He talks
rationally enough for a time, and then
seems to become a little erratic.
Xo Suggestion of Athlete.
There was little in Hamilton's appear
ance to distinguish him from the other
prisoners when he was taken into court.
He had on a faded brown suit and soft
shirt that needed ironing. He had been
shaved but his hair was not neatly
brushed. There was a morbid set to his
features and a heaviness about the eyes.
He did not seem to take any interest in
what was going on.
That he was at one time an athlete of
teputation could never have been guessed
from Hamilton's appearance. Slight and
small, his weight could not have been
more than 135, and) he had no suggestion
of muscularity in his makeup. But in his
football days he was no larger. His
speed and pluck made him a valuable man
on the gridiron, those who played with
him on the old Multnomah team say.
"I don't know why I robbed those
stores." Hamilton says when asked about
the affair of Tuesday t morning. "But I
was in my right mind and knew what I
was doing."
Tell of Many Vagaties.
Should the case be brought to trial four
witnesses, old-time associates of Hamil
ton's, will be called to tell of'his peculiar
ing for Mrs. Richards, Dr. Pierce immed
iately wired the necessary information
and asked that the First National Bank
of this city be made the trustee of the
fund. As yet no information has been
received as to how Richards came by his
death, but it is presumed it occurred in
one of the many accidents which make
mining such a hazardous occupation.
This simple, unadorned story of the
goodness of mankind must touch the
heart of every one who loves unselfish
ness and chivalry. It proves that hu
manity is good and that sweet charity,
which asks nothing and expects nothing,
still survives, at least on the remote
Northern frontier. Richards was almost
a stranger in Fairbanks for he could not
have been there more than two months.
He spoke of his invalid wife and his
pretty golden-haired baby girl to his
rough associates.
When he was dead, thousands of miles
from these loved ones, those hardy, ad
venturous, knightly gentlemen of the wil
derness took his word. They didn't think
of questioning his statement. There was
a wife who was sick and poor back there
in "the States" and a little girl who was
to see her papa no more. They didn't
make fine sympathetic speeches nor tele
graph condolences but they simply "dug
up" intil they had $2000 and over to send.
Then without any frills or long negotia
tions they simply asked a man some one
of them knew In Portland to look after
the fund for the mother and the "kid."
No finer thing has come to public no
tice in this town in years and if those
who contributed to the fund could have
heard the grateful expressions of the sick
widow, whom the money may restore to
health, and had seen pretty little Mildred
Richards smile her thanks they would
realize more fully tiie blessedness of
givlcs
.Mildred Elyda Richard.

conduct previous to the robberies. It has
been learned than some days ago he ap
proached Frank Sinnott and suggested
building a laundry to cost $1,000,000 on
property owned by Sinnott. Recently he
approached George Schalk on the street
with the exclamation, "Well we've won
out; We've beaten the scoundrels.
There's $6,000,000 in the estate and I get a
cool $500,000."
His vagaries were varied as shown by a
call he made on Frank Watkins. He asked
Mr. Watkins for the loan of $85 saying a
man had $200,000 worth of diamonds in
the woods out near Roseburg and that
he wanted to go after them. The money
was refused him and later he called for
$25 saying he would walk to Roseburg and
get the stones if he had $25. On another
occasion he trieA to borrow $12,000 to buy
diamonds with. His mind seemed to dwell
a great deal on diamonds and he was con
tinually talking about fine gems.
During the last campaign he approached
Major J. P. Kennedy w-ith an offer to
subscribe to the campaign fund. He said
he had $500,000 to give for campaign pur
poses. Mr. Kennedy and the others
named will be called to testify as to the
incidents.
Just what form of mental derangement
applies to Hamilton's case has not yet
been determined. The condition is traced
to an injury to his head received during
a football game. Hamilton admits that
the old injury has caused him a great
deal of trouble but denies it has made
him irresponsible.
FANATICS FIGHT POLICE
Naked Doukhobors Subdued After
Three Hours' Desperate Battle.
TORKTOWN. Sask., July 16. After
three hours desperate fight last night
against a detachment of Northwest
mounted police. 12 naked Doukhobors at
Arcade were captured and brought to jail
at this place. Last week these religious
fanatics, whose chief belief is that they
should wear no clothes, came to town and
resisted efforts of the .local police to oust
them. - .
They met the police with guns and re
volvers. Since that time they have been
in possession of the place. Last night
Inspector Juneet, of the Provincial po
lice, gathered ten' of his Constables and
attempted to raid the religious settlement
and arrest 12 for whom he had war
rants. The fanatics made desperate re
sistance. More than 60 rushed to the aid
of the 12 who were wanted.
With cordwood clubs and all sorts of
improvised weapons they fought the Con
stables. It was not until after three
hours of the most desperate fighting that
the men were whipped Into .submission
and 12 prisoners carried off. The prison
ers, six men and six women, were given
six months in jail this morning.
