10 THE MORNING OEEGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JULY 24. 1908, y OFTEN FAILS Agee Forgetful When Ques tioned by Defense in Booth Conspiracy Trial. SOLD LAND IN GOOD FAITH JL.U -Transactions ' for Claim Were Carried On 'With James Henry Booth, Says Chief Witness for Government. For three hours yesterday afternoon, 1. Thomas Agee, Government witness in the Booth-Singleton case and co-conspirator with the defendants on trial, was cross-examined vigorously by Dan J. Ma larkey. of counsel for the defendants. In the main the witness adhered closely to the story he narrated on direct examina tion, but admitted that he acted in good faith when he settled on unsurveyed land as a homestead in Eastern Douglas Coun ty and confidently believed he had com plied with the land laws sufficiently to have earned the homestead. The cross examination of Agee will be resumed this morning and the witness probably will be on the stand the greater part of the day. The uncertainty of Agee's testimony re garding dates on his direct examination was surpassed by his positive stubborn ness on cross-examination by Mr. Malar key. The witness corroborated the mate rial parts of the testimony he had given for the prosecution, but when asked re garding other facts and circumstances, by which the defense will attempt to prove that tne transfer of the land was entirely legal, he displayed an astonish ing lack of memory. Statement Made to Burns. Counsel for defense by persistent ques tioning learned from Agee that he had been kept in the constant company of Andy Nichols, a Government employe, ever since reaching Portland. Agee, how ever, declined to admit that Nichols was conducting him around but insisted that he was looking after Nichols. Mr. Ma larkey further got the witness to admit that when he was a witness before the grand jury In 1906 he made a sworn state ment before W. J. Burns, Government Se cret Service Agent, who admonished him not to discuss the conspiracy case with anybody. Agee said he had been shown the state ment since coming to Portland as a wit ness In the case on trial in order that his memory might bo refreshed. He said he had discussed the case with Burns and Neuhausen in preference to Roland Agee, S. I. Thornton and Ed Singleton, who were his relatives. because he thought the Government officials were entitled to any Information he could give them. He admitted he had refused to discuss the case with Mr. Malarkey al though he had been told by District At torney McCourt that he could talk about the case with anybody or could refuse to discuss the subject. Thought He Obeyed Law. Agee testified in answer to questions by Mr. Malarkey that following his first trip to the vicinity of "Cap's Illihee." an Indian designation which means "Home of the Boss," he was desirous of locating on a claim and securing possession of the same as a stock ranch. He declared that in filing on the land he acted in good faith and at a.11 times believed that he was complying with all the requirements of the land laws, having no Intention ever of defrauding .the Government. He as serted that he understook to. retain a claim to the land and make the necessary improvements until 1897. when, because of the intimidation of "Wild Bill" Bradley, who had either stolen or killed his stock, he decided not to reside longer on the premises. But. the -witness said, he left his stock on the land, thinking that by so doing he did not surrender pos session or annul his rights to the home stead. Continuing his testimony for the Gov ernment at the morning session, 'Agee testified that all of the business con nected with the transfer of the home stead for the lieu land selection was tran sacted with James Henry Booth, who prepared in advance all of the necessary papers for Agee's signature. Patent to the land was received December 31, 1903, and January 6. following. Agee trans ferred the property to the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. The deed was admit ted as evidence by Judge Wolverton, over the objection of the defense. llecelved His Full Price. Agee testified that the consideration named In the deed was only $10. and that he called the attention of a Notary Public to the fact, explaining that the price agreed upon was J300. whereupon he was advised that the transfer of the land was not closed until .the deed had been de livered and he need not surrender the In strument until he had received his money. Agee said he then went to Eu gene and called on R. A. Booth, Informing him that he (Agee) was to receive J300 net for the land. Booth referred Agee to his brother. James Henry Booth, at Roseburg. continued the witness, at the same time explaining that Henry would make it ail right. Going to Roseburg. Agee said he gave the deed to James Henry Booth, and that an error dis covered by R. A. Booth, could be cor rected. He called the next day and re ceived the balance due for the land, J260 In gold, the advance payment of J50 hav ing been deducted. Witness said he after ward visited Eugene again and delivered the deed to the property to R. A. Booth. The witness said he next saw R. A. Booth In Portland in the Spring of 1905. when he had been subpenaed as a witness before the grand jury. Meeting Booth in a restaurant. Agee said he asked to be advised how he should testify regarding the first payment of J50 on the land when he should be questioned before the grand Jury. Again Booth referred the witness to his brother, James Henry, who was found at the Imperial Hotel, according to Agee. and who advised the witness to say nothing about the $50 transaction if he should be questioned. CRY IN VAIN FOR WATER Mount Scott District Must Suffer Shortage All This Season. No results have been accomplished from the two mass meetings held in the Mount Scott district to devise ways and means to get relief from the water shortage, which now dally affects 5000 people. At the meeting- held last Fri day night a committee was appointed to confer with George Brown, president of the Woodmen Water Company, about dividing the territory supplied by the company into four districts, each district to use w-ater for irriga tion at certain hours. This committee decided that while the theory was good it could not be put Into practice, and concluded to drop WITNESS MEMOR HM the matter. Mr. Brown' was willing to co-operate with the people in dividing- the territory, but left the details of carrying- out the plan to the committee. It was concluded that it would be im possible to restrict the use of water to one district at one time. The present condition will have to be endured un til the season for irrigation is over, when there will be at least water enough for household use. This water shortage is good cam paign material for the annexationists. O. N. Ford, who led the movement for annexation last June, said yesterday that a petition is now being circulated for a vote on annexation in November, and he reports there is -no trouble to get people to sign. He thinks it will carry if the vote can be had. NEW LOCATION SOUGHT Public Baths Probably Must Be Moved Away From Sewers. Nothing definite has as yet been done about the public baths, now owned and operated by the city,- but it is almost certain the establishment will have to be moved from the" foot of Jefferson street. Several large sewers empty Into the stream at that point, and Mayor Lane is opposed to this site, al though he says he knows of no place this side of Sellwood where there are no sewers running into the river. The question is a puzzling one and will re ceive further consideration. Councilman Kellaher favors the loca tion south of the east approach to the Morrison-street bridge, but when Mayor Lane and Parkkeeper Mische made an effort to secure a place there the property-owners and business men offered so much opposition that it was aban doned. It was then that- the city offi cials endeavored to obtain permission from the Government officers to anchor the bathhouse In the stream, but failed in this also. As a last resort it was towed to the foot of Jefferson street. Mayor Lane did not know until yes terday that so- many sewers empty into the river at that point. Chinese Uses Slipper on "Fresh" Youth When Blows Follow Jibes, Celestial Takes Harry Harper on Hia Knee and Soundly Spanks Him. THE old saying that the battle does not always go to the strong was aptly illustrated last night near midnight when Harley Harper, a carpenter, 21 years old from Troutoale, essayed to thrash Jim Fock, a Chinese, at Fourth and Pine streets. Both men were arrested by De tective Tennant. Harper was slightly in toxicated, and In passing the Chinese on the street, to the delight of several young men with him, began to badger the celes tial. Jim Fock remonstrated. At this Harper took offense and began in earnest to rain blows on the protesting Chinese. Although a much smaller man, Jim Fock was more nimble and- with a few Jiu Jitsu passes quickly turned the tables on his muscular assailant and had him on the sidewalk. Then he deliberately re moved his slipper, hoisted the prostrate man into his lap and proceeded to ad minister a spanking after the most ap proved American fashion. It was in this attitude that the two were found when taken into custody by the officer. Har per's companions were so ashamed of the part they had taken in the affair that they slunk away with bad grace. SUE FOR MARKET BLOCK Status of Association Determined by Circuit Court. That the People's Market Association has the right to bring a suit against the City of Portland In the effort to retain possession of the market block, between Clay, Market. Second and Third streets, was ' the decision rendered by Judge Bro naugh in the Circuit Court yesterday morning. This decision was rendered after it' had been shown that Governor Chamberlain dissolved the corporation January 14. because it had not paid its license fees for the fears beginning July, 1906, and 1907, and on May 23 filed an order with the Secretary of State restor ing its franchise. This latter order is said to have been made with the advice of t'he Attorney-General. A plea in abatement brought by the city, and a reply filed by the association was tried out before Judge Gantenbein. who decided that because the corpora tion was dissolved it could not bring suit. The reply was then amended, and upon the hearing yesterday Judge Bronaugh reversed the former decision. The license fee was paid under the provisions of Chapter 172. of the session laws of 1905. The association will con tend when the suit comes to trial on its merits, that this law Is unconstitutional, because it amounts to double taxation. The association is seeking to have the city enjoined from interfering with its occupancy of the block. . Since August 5, 1903, when the ordinance was passed giv ing it a 25-year franchise, between $30, 000 and 35.000 has been expended on the buildings, according to the association. Settle Woodstock Band Case. The suit between members of the Woodstock Band Company will probably be brought to an end next week. Judge Bronaugh heard the arguments in the case yesterday afternoon. J. R. Gllstrap, a stockholder in the company, brought suit against George Hammond, the presi dent; C. F. Spaulding, secretary, and An drew Petrie, treasurer. In his complaint Gllstrap says the band company Issued 15 shares of stock to Spaulding Illegally. He asks that the court order this returned to the, treasury of the company; that a four-year lease held by Spaulding be set aside, and that Gllstrap be given $266.60 damages. The lease in question is to a hall in Wood stock, owned by the company. TALL CLACKAMAS TIMOTHY Eastern Man Finds Hay Seven and One-Half Feet High Near Boring. Clackamas County residents, in the vicinity of Sycamore Station, are Justly proud of a remarkably tall growth of? timothy hay. J. E. Letson, an Eastern farmer, who comes from Slippery Rock, Pa., made a trip into the country along the Cazadero line yesterday. He left the car at Sycamore, intending to travel afoot as far as Boring. When about two miles this side of his des tination he was surprised to Me a patch of timothy growing which reached far above bid head. He up rooted six or eight stalks, and upon measuring them found that they were 7H feet long. He hied him back Into Portland in search of the real estate dealer who had the selling of the land, stopping on his way at The Oregonlan to show what he says Is the tallest hay he ever saw. Mr. Letson said that if he simply wrote to the folks back East that he had seen such hay actually growing, they might think that he had been partaking too freely of the cup that cheers, and was seeing things In conse quence. He said that so far as he was able to find, that the soil was a red clay loam, which he considered to be the best possible soil for growing hay. t J y if.V,:,:vj.',-A '' '' wko. j .... HE STAYS IN UMBO Adolph Adler, Alleged Anar chist, Changes Mind. "TRIES OUT" THE COURT Refuses fo Plead, So Goes Back to Jail When Judge Declines to Make Dicker as to Pen alty for Offense. For the first time in the history of Circuit Court practice in Multnomah County a criminal tried to make a dicker with the court yesterday. But, unlike a John. D. Rockefeller or an Abe Ruef, he is a man of very moder ate means, so moderate in fact that he tried to Increase the contents of his pocketbook by threatening the life of Sig Slchel and others. The court de cided that it couldn't do anything for him., and he was sent back to jail to await trial. Wearied with the confinement and musty atmosphere of the County Jail. Adolph Adler, a supposed anarchist, in formed District Attorney Cameron yes terday that he wanted to plead .guilty to the change of attempting, by threats, to extort money. So the ar rangements were made, and Adler was haled before Judge Bronaugh. 'T understand you wish to plead guilty?" said the court. "Veil, vlll you put me in der jail if I dor' asked Adler, who is an Aus trian. "The law provides for a sentence of from one to two years in the Peniten tiary," answered the court. .' "Veil, you vill send me to de pen for only von year, vill you?" queried Adler. "You enter your plea and the court will do the rest," answered Judge Bronaugh. "Veil. I tink I vill not blead, den, yer honor," replied Adler. .And so Adler was taken back to jail and will take his chances before a jury. . CAUGHT BY SHERIFF STEVEXS A. Welch, Wanted in Wisconsin on Statutory Charge, Arrested. Through the efforts of Sheriff Stev ens, A. Welch, aged 55, a halfbreed Indian wanted at Showano, Wis., on a statutory charge, was arrested yes terday afternoon three miles east of Sycamore Station on the Estacada carline. Welch is well-known to the authorities of Wisconsin, having once been tried for murder. Re was ac quitted on the plea that he shot his victim in self-defense. After being arrested in the East on the criminal assault charge, Welch was released on ball and fled the country. Sheriff W. E. Wilson communicated with. Sheriff Stevens, who succeeded In locating the accused man. The latter is half negro and half Stockbridge In dian. When arrested by Deputy Sher iff Archie Leonard and Constable Wagner yesterday he put up a stiff fight. He was handcuffed and brought to Portland and is now held In the County Jail. Before his arrest he was grubbing stumps and cutting' wood near Sycamore. Sheriff Stevens telegraphed Sheriff Wilson the news of the arrest last night, and Welch will be taken to Wisconsin when a deputy from Showano arrives. SPIRITS FAIL TO HELP THEM Default Judgment Taken in Famons Spiritualist Case. That the spirits have not aided the mem bers of the State Spiritualist Association who have been acting as their own attor neys in the case brought against them In the Circuit Court by Green C. Love was apparent yesterday when Attorney Tanck wioh took a default judgment against Vir ginia Howe, one of the double quartet being sued, after her demurrer had been ruled out for being improperly served. Attorney Tanckwich also asked for de fault judgment against Edwin King, but as Yanckwloh failed to serve notice on hlra to appear in court. Judge Bronaugh, before whom the case is being tried, re fused to give judgment. Mrs. Lou Ellen Cornell, secretary of the State Association, tiad been cited to appear and show cause why she should not turn over the books of the associa tion to the clerk of the court, pending the outcome of the trial, but her attorney, Ralph Dunlway. could not be present, so the case was continued until next Wednesday. EISEX VTIXS TEMPORARILY May Continue Practice at Least Until Court Decides Case.

W " & f . year-old Jennie Selghers, ne will con tinue to practice until the suit brought by him against the state board is tried out in court. He will be able to do this because a report of the board's action has not been filed with the Secretary of State, as required by law, and the board has been enjoined by Judge Bronaugh from taking further action. Dr. Eisen's suit to have the injunc tion against the board made permanent, pending the decision of the Supreme Court regarding the validity of his con viction, was to have come to trial on its merits yesterday morning, but Deputy City Attorney Frank Grant moved that it be continued, and Eisen's counsel did not object. CONSTRUCTION" COMPANY SUES Demands $2882 and Attorney's Fees From Owner of Heyser Hotel. That Robert A. Proudfoot unfairly, arbitrarily and unreasonably found fault with portions of the work done on the Heyser Hotel, at East Third and Burnslde streets, by the Standard Con struction Company, is one of the al legations of the company in a suit to recover $2882, and $500 attorney's fees, filed yesterday in the Circuit Court. Tessie N. Proudfoot, the Portland Trust Company, Jack Rankin, E. A. Rankin, J. Q. Creveling and Erv Ran kin are made parties defendant to the suit. The contract with the Standard Com pany to perform all the labor and sup ply the materials with the exception of the steel of the four-story building was entered into March 27, last year. It Is alleged that while fault was found with the way the floors were laid, no changes were designated, although the company stood ready to make these change if they had been suggested. It Is also asserted that the time limit on the contract should have been ex tended 36 days, while It was only ex tended 17 days. The contractor was delayed 15 days at the start, it is said, because of changes In the plans made by the architect. AS FAITHFUL AS PENELOPE Mrs. Politi Waited for Years for Recreant Husband. That he went to the Philippines and was gone two years, during which time he sent his wife no money for her support, is the allegation of Rose Politi in a divorce complaint, which she filed in the Circuit Court yesterday against her husband, Adolph Politi. Like a faithful wife she waited until he returned, July 1, before she filed suit against him. She then asked him to return home and support her as a good husband should, but he refused, she says. She wants to resume her former name. Rose Wilcox, and asks also for an order of the court restrain ing him from molesting her while the suit is pending. The couple were married April 15, 1905, at Salinas, Cal. Mrs. Politi says it was November 6, seven months later, that he left her.

Building From "Running Away." Engine-house No. 16, at Twentieth and Spring streets. Is in danger of sliding down hill according to statements made yesterday afternoon to the fire committee of the City Executive Board. The com mittee voted to instruct City Engineer Taylor to build a retaining wall, to save the house from possible destruction. The work will be rushed. It appears that poor judgment was used in the selection of a site for the engine, house, and Mayor Lane and members of the fire committee of the Executive Board say that the fault is strictly with the City Council; that the members of the Council chose and purchased the lot, pay ing $2300 therefor. The building was erected, the apparatus installed and the company put into commission about two months ago. It is a nice addition to the fire department, and Is the pride of Portland Heights residents. The location, according to Chief Campbell, is the best in the district and he says that he believes there will be no trouble with a retaining wall in. There is a hill, towering far above the engine-house in the rear, and large trees have already been uprooted by the slid ing earth. Heavy wires have been tied to the trees to keep them from falling down. Altogether, it seems, the situation is far from encouraging. The cost of the equipment for the en-glne-house was about $7200, and this prop erty, including the house, apparatus, horses and furniture, is endangered by a slide, should one occur. . When the seri ousness of the situation first became known, the fire committee advertised for bids for the construction of a retaining wall, and the Council appropriated $2000 to defray the cost. However, while two sets of bids have been received, they ex ceed the appropriation, and in order to facilitate the matter and save time andj muiie;, ii was ucumeu yesieraay aiter noon to proceed with the work under the direction of City Engineer Taylor. The lot was selected and purchased about two years ago. Marshal Dies From Wound. y SPOKANE. July 23. J. S.

NO LAPSE IN FESTIVITIES Sports and Various Features Occur Without Interruption Throughout Afternoon and Climax Cornea In Big Celebration at Night. In all Portland no one could find a crowd similar to the one that over flowed The Oaks yesterday. For in all Portland no one except the management of The Oaks could arouse enough In terest to draw the crowd that was drawn to Portland's big amusement park last night. . Cars leaving First and Alder streets were crowded, so crowded that hun dreds of people were forced to wait for the next oar; during the-afternoon they lined the sidewalks for hours, waltlag for cars, and in the early even ing the rush was insistent. It was the big day for streetcar men. Tickets for the event in which the streetcar men were indirectly to par ticipate had been sold by the hun dreds and last night was the climax of weeks of effort Hundreds of people buying tickets and waiting to buy told how anxious they were to spend on an Oaks excursion. A programme, especially prepared for the occasion, was followed in the oourse of the day's events. It Included athe letlc contests and all the various fea tures that go to make a real picnic and a real day's outing. Manager Freeman was overwhelmed with the volume of business. Gate keepers were swamped; ticket-takers called tor aid and the entire force of frollc-provlders was so rushed that ex tra employes were placed on duty In all parts of the grounds. It was one of the biggest days in the history of Portland's big f.musement parks. Thousands attended and there was plenty of amusement and enter tainment for those thousands. The programme called for various features, of endurance and strength and during the afternoon they were held on schedule time. In the evening they were on schedule all right, but there were o, many of them and Buch an enormous crowd that those in charge had difficulty in taking care of them.
