General Halns called that day, Mrs. Hains asserted, and. upon hearing the captain's accusations, said he would shoot Annls on sight. Utter that day Captain Hains' brother. T. Jenkins Hains, called with a lawyer and asked her a' lot of questions while she was dazed. At the solicitation of T. Jenkins Hains.

JAPAN WELCOMES FLEET (Continued from First Pas'.) understanding between Japan and America and to give the visiting Amerkars an insight into the real at titude of Japan towards America. It Is absolutely certain that already the de sired effect upon the Americans has been produced. Since the arrival of the fleet not a single unpleasant incident 1 -is occurred, tiiongh the sailors of both fleets are swarming through the towns about Yokohama and Tokio. Speaking nt the dinner given by Ambassador O'Brien last night. Admiral Sperry said flat he was unable to account for the perfect way in which the reception to himself and h:s men had been carried out. but that it certainly surpassed anv'tMng of Ihe kind that he had ever seen. Karly Tuesday morning Admiral Sperry will be received at the Imperial palace, and on the morning of Wednes day the admirals and captains of the f le, t will be the guests of the Em peror at the palace. Admiral Sperry will convey to the Kmperor a message from President Roosevelt. Tr.e words of this message have not beeri riven out. but there is reason to believe that it breathes a spirit of friendship and sympathy and expresses keen appreciation of the traditional friendship between the two nations and an earnest wish for the strengthening and continuance of the friendly rela tlors of the past. It is uncertain what repiy the Kniperor will make when this nr-i-sage is presented by Admiral Sperrv. but it Is considered possible that he may break bis rule and make some statement in terms similar to those used by Mr. Roosevelt Three thousand sailors from the America- fleet are grunted shore leave dal'y. and It Is remarkable that, not withstanding thetr long confinement board ship, not a single difficulty has been reported, bearing out the state ment of Admiral Sperry. made In one of his speeches here, that the American sailor of today Is the result of that de velopment and education which Japan is seeking in every department of her national life. Americans throughout Japan are en thusiastic regarding the visit of the fleet and t'ne cordiality of the recep tion accorded their fellow-countrymen Is unwearying, though the programme Is so elaborate and so fully carried out that at times it becomes almost monotonous. Still the visiting Ameri cans are given the opportunity of see ing more than any ordinary tourist rou'd possibly accomplish in the same time. TALK OX MAX'S BROTH KRIIOOI) O'Brien's Speech at Banquet to Of ficers of Two Xaries. TOKIO. Oct. 19. With the assembled fus c tkf. the. Japanese and. American Navies as his guests and audience. Thomas J. O'Brien, the American Am bassador to Je.pan. tonight delivered a stirring address, urging that the fleets of warships be regarded as the assurance and instruments of peace, and declaring the visit of the American battleships to Japan to be an "exalted lesson in the in ternational school of the brotherhood of man " The most cordial and gratifying sentiments were exchanged by the guests at the banquet, which was held at the Imperial Hotel and attended by the Ad mirals and higher officers of the two navies. ... In proposing the health of Rear-Admiral Sperry and the men who had assisted him in this memorable stage of a history making cruise. Ambassador O'Brien ex pressed his delight at being afforded tne opportunity to extend a like welcome and greeting to all those present, especially the brave and tried officers of the Japan ese navy sitting side by side with the Americans and joining with them in the fraternal comradeship in which the brave are everywhere entitled to indulge. "The commingling of such men." he said, "each owing a devoted loyalty to his own government, is the inspiration of a noble and friendly feeling." The Ambassador referred briefly to the commencement of intercourse between America and Japan 56 years ago. when voung Japan, seizing .the opportunitj presented, carried before it not only the young and vigorous element, but, with the strength horn of a laudable purpose, linallv brought the conservative element of the country to a realization of the nation s larger destiny. Armies Instruments of Peace. "We cannot close our eyes to the fact that great armies and navies are. heins organized throughout the world." he said, "and it follows, sometimes, that thought ful people are concerned lest some cause, great or small, worthy or unworthy, shall bring some of these great force3 into conflict. However, since we are happilv assured on all sides that prepa ration" for war is the best guarantee of peace, let us be content with this assur ance. And at the same time we should remember that it Is possible always to cultivate this peaceful Intention through the cultivation of that class of citizens which gives evidence of being honorable and sincere in purpose. "May I ask you to agree with me in my belief that this memorable visit will stand as an exalted lesson in the broad international school of the brotherhood of man, where there exists and shall exist the respect for differing opinions and the possession of other and above all. that freedom from pride, arrogance, suspicion and greed to which most of the wars of the past m?y be traced?" In his response on behalf of the Ameri can officers, Kear-Admiral Sperry spoke with expressions of good will no less happily chosen, giving assurance of the gratitude shared by all for the splendid reception accorded the fleet upon its ar rival and the abounding evidences of friendship and hospitality they had en countered upon every hand. Count Komura, Minister of Foreign Af fairs, was introduced by Ambassador O'Brien and in the course of his remarks said the acceptance of the invitation to visit Japan by the American fleet afford ed Japan n opportunity to give addi tional evidence of the friendly sentiments always entertained by the Japanese to ward America and Americans. He said he was obliged to confess that Commo dore Perry came as an unwelcome guest, but nevertheless he Inaugurated a new era In the history of Japan. Admiral Sperry. he continued, now comes as a welcome guest and his advent gives new import to our relations with America, both as regards commerce and good-fellowship. In conclusion Count Komura said that It was the hope of himself and his coun try thut the friendship would continue unceasingly, and on behalf of himself and the nation he desired to express every hope for the welfare and pros perity of America and of Rear-Admiral Sperry and the other officers of the great American fleet. Sperry "s Tribute to Japan. Rear-Admiral fperry in response mad a telling speech, which was applauded to the echo and aroused great enthusi asm. Speaking earnestly, he said he was unable to express in words his apprecia tion of the splendid reception given to the American fleet. Commodore Perry, be said, was an instrument In the hands of Providence, fortunate for America and fortunate for Japan. His coming was in strumental in bringing about friendly re lations between Japan and America and hud the effect of opening a country of marvelous resources and unheard-of civi lization to contact with the outside world. In this respect, continued the Admiral. Commodore Perry did the world a great service. Admiral Sperry then commented upon the educational achievements of Japan, declaring that they spoke volumes for the intelligence and progressiveness of the Japanese people. Since his arrivul. he said, he had seen that thousands of children were being educated In every branch of knowledge and learning de manded by civilization of the highest order. He paid the highest tribute to the Japanese nation and spoke feelingly of the evidences of its great advancement. In conclusion he said: "This visit of the American fleet will bring the two nations closer together than would loo years of ordinary Inter course, because this mingling of young men Imbued with the same ideas and of a high order of intelligence gives com mon ground for sympathy and mutual understanding." Admiral Sperry brought his remarks to an end with a graceful tribute to the gallant achievements of the Japanese navy, whieli was received with prolonged applause by the Americans present. The result of the dinner was to develop a feeling of warm friendship between the representatives of both countries, both naval and civilian. COMPLETES WORLD VOYAGE Battleship Maine Arrives After En circling Whole Globe. PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. Oct. 19. The battleship Maine, after making a circuit of the globe, was sighted off the entrance to Portsmouth harbor at 7 A. M.. today, under a convoy of three tugs, which had waited outside to meet her. A thick bank of fog delayed the arrival, but the Matne was successfully docked at 8:15 A. M. As she swung around Henderson's Point, under her own steam, her guns boomed out a salutw of 13 guns, which vi as immediately followed by a com mander's salute of seven guns by the navy-yard battery. As the big battle ship was warped into the dock, the "jack lee" on board and those stationed in the yard, gave prolonged cheer. The Maine thus today ended, together with the battleship Alabama. which arrived nt the New York navy yard today. the most spectacu lar around-the-world cruise ever made by a first-class modern warship. During the voyage, which was started from Hampton Roads, and which consumed 9"S days, the tno vessels covered about 35,ci0 miles. After the successful conclusion of the fleet's cruise to the Pacific, the Maine and Alabama were detached from the fleet upon the recommendation of Rear-Admiral Evans, and organized into a special service squadron under command of Captain Giles B. Harber, commander of the Maine. Their places In the fleet were supplied by the bat tleships Wisconsin and Nebraska. The officers express themselves as completely satisfied with the records made bv the ships, and with the fit ness of the men. The most depressing period of the cruise was the voyage through the Red Sfa. where the men suffered greatly from the heat. Part of the time was employed in gun drills and a notable development In naval gunnery was shown in the ex periments made. Both the ordinary and smokeless powder was unimpaired and the tests showed they could last f os. .sears uadex ail pilsattteaV . i ft! IS SUBTERFUGE Attorney's Charge About Scheme to Remove Thaw. INCOMPETENT TO TESTIFY Federal Judge at Pittsburg Hears Argument on Motion to Secure Thaw's Testimony Still Insane, Says Gardener. PITTSBURG. Oct. 10. After hearing the motions and' arguments today in the proceedings having for their ostensible object the bringing here of Harry K. Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, to tes tify in the voluntary bankruptcy peti tion filed seevral months ago. Judge Young, of the United States District Court, late today reserved until 10 o'clock tomorrow his decision in the two principal points raised in today's pro ceedings. These are: First, whether Judge Young shall accept Jurisdiction or whether the matter must be presented to Judge Arch bold, of Soranton. Pa., by whom the writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum was issued. Judge Young having been In "Eu rope on his vacation when the application was made; and second, whether Thaw shall be brought here to testify in the bankruptcy proceedings. Asks Dismissal of Writ. A. B. Gardener. Special Deputy Attorney-General of the State of New York, came here today to oppose the bringing of Thaw to Pennsylvania and moved fo- the dismissal of the writ Issued by Judge Archbold. Mr. Gardener, answering both the court and the attorneys for Thaw, said he would not take his motion before Judge Archbold. holding that Jurisdiction rested with this district and that Judge Archbold had merely acted for Judge Young during the latter's absence; that he would continue the fight on this ground, even though he had to go to the Supreme Court of the United States. Incompetent in Either Case. As to bringing Thaw here, Mr. Gar dener argued that Thaw Had twice been adjudged insane in the courts of New York and was held under such adjudica tion in an asylum for the criminal in sane in the custody of that state; that, being an insane person, he was Incom petent to file a petition in bankruptcy, and., being insane, he is incompetent to testify in bankruptcy proceedings. The New York attorney also charged that the bankruptcy proceedings and ef forts to have Thaw brought to Penn sylvania to testify therein are merely a subterfuge to remove Thaw from the jur isdiction of the New York courts and secure his liberty from the institution In which he is held for the murder of Stanford White. DAXGEUOIS TO MOVE THAW Asylum Superintendent Says Men tal Condition Xot Improved. NEW YORK. Oct. 19. In his reply to Judge Young of the Western District of Pennsylvania on the question wtietner Harry K. . Thaw shall be removed from Matteawan asylum to Pittsburg. Robert B. Iamb, superintendent of the asylum, declared today that Thaw is still insane and that it would be dangerous to trans fer him to Pittsburg. Dr. Iamb also as serted that he had found no mental Im provement in Thaw since he was com mitted to the asylum. MODJESKI FAVORS BRIDGE i (Continued from First Pairo.l that the members shall attend this morning's meeting. Mr. Modjeski reached Portland from the East yesterday morning, and regis tered at the Hotel Portland, after which he inspected the Spokane, Portland & Seattle bridges across the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, both of which he designed and supervised during their construction. Completing his business there, he returned to the city, and at 4 o'clock appeared at the City Hall, where he consulted with City Engineer Taylor for a short time, and with whom he filed the report. He left a copy for Mayor Lane and each member of the City Council, and these will be considered at this morning's session. The arrival of Mr. Modjeski in the city created great interest, especially among those more directly Interested in the projected new bridge and sub way. While the report is very volu minous and replete with details, it deals chiefly with the two proposed bridges and the tube. The report of Mr. Modjeski will demonstrate that the popular Impres sion which prevailed with the public that a tube could be constructed at some point r.ear Morrison or Madison streets was an erroneous one. Because of the contour of the territory on either side of the river and the con ditions in general, according to the engineer, it would be necessary to build It. If at all, at or north of Hancock street. This would put it so far north as to make it almost Impracticable as an easy means of handling the traffic The cost of the tube. also, will be shown to be about $6,000,000, and such an enormous amount. It is believed, would be too much to expend at this time when it is possible to put up another modern bridge at an approxi mate cost of 1. 500.000. That the tube could not well be con structed south of Hancock street is one of the most surprising features of Mr. Modjeskl's report, inasmuch as it had been supposed that with sufficient outlay of money it could as well be put in at a more convenient point. There are a large number who firmly believe that a tube would prove, in the long run. a more satisfactory arrangement than another bridge, but it is thought that the sentiment favoring this meth od will be weakened, at least for the present, when the details of the report become fully known. A high bridge, of the type under consideration by the North East Side Improvement Association, where the entire project originated will be shown to cost approximately $3,000,000. The report shows that such a span at about Hancock street, would have the best grades on both sides of the river. This type of bridge would clear the masts of all vessels, so that it would require no draw, but Mr. Modjeski evi dently feels that it is not very practi cable, as he does not recommend it in his report. From all that can be ascertained. It is probable the Council and Executive Board will favor the recommendation of Mr. Modjeski for the construction of a smaller drawbridge, at a point not far north of the Steel bridge. There are three important items which enter into the matter, these being the cost, the time required to build and the ac commodation of river navigation. It Is thought that after considering these features fully. Mr. Modjeski decided the smaller bridge would meet the requirements best. 1 1" : . i de Gogorza A Great Artist And a Great Piano Chickering Piano Used, Heilig Theater, Thursday Even ing, (Next Week) Oct. 29, 1908 As during- his triumphal tour of sev eral years ago, de Gogorza. the far famed baritone, again requests and will be furnished the use of the Chickering. The mere mention, "Chickering Piano Used Exclusively," in connection with de Gogorza recital, as with Conried s Metropolitan Quartet, whose gracious acknowledgment, signed by each one of the artists, is published herewith, is ot more than passing interest. Whenever the Chickering is used by an artist or musical organization it is solely for the reason that they believe it the finest piano made. Their choice is not Influenced by a financial consid eration. Chickering & Sons will not stoop to commercialism in furthering the inter ests of the glorious Chickering piano. They will not pay even the greatest or artists to play their pianos or solicit their testimonials or influence. In this respect Chickering & Sons stand alone The Chickering is the only house that does not engage salaried artists to play their Instruments. 'Tls surely commendable that Ameri cas oldest and most illustrious piano concern should stand tfut boldly and learlesBly against this system of pur chased Influence which does not en hance the musical value of the piano a particle but necessarily adds a great deal to the selling price. The exclusive use of the Chickering Piano by the above eminent baritone is another trioute to the glorious Chick ering and the methods of this time-honored establishment. It also demon strates that the choice of this great artist cannot be secured for a financial consideration. No time is too long no pains too reat no legitimate cost too large, and no effort too vast to expend In achiev ing for each individual Chickering the goal of artistic perfection. The Chickering today is Supreme, Un approachable, Unmatohable, Sold ex clusively by pinnoi-aliabilitr The House of Highest Quality. Modjeski at a cost to the city of $5000, It seems at this time very probable that the Council will later adopt his recommendation and that the outcome of the matter will be the construction of such a bridge as he recommends. The opinion of an engineer of the standing of Mr. Modjeski, it has been openly stated from time to time in the Concll sessions, would virtually carry with it the adoption of his recommend ations. Councilman Menefee, who has acted in his official capacity for the further ance of the project, and who Intro duced the resolution in the Council some months ago, calling for the em ployment of Mr. Modjeski. last night declared that he did not know the de tails of the report to be submitted this morning. When Informed as to the three features of the report and the recommendation of the engineer, he said: "If It Is correct that Mr. Modjeski recommends a smaller bridge than the high bridge projected at the begin ning of this movement. I believe, with out committing myself at this time, that he is right In his conclusions. Af ter much thought. I have come to be lieve that the high bridge would per haps be so large that it would scarcely serve Its purpose, and that, in all pro bability, the smaller span would be better suited to the needs of the dis tricts to be benefited. "Of course I do not know the details of the report, and would not care to commit myself to either project until fully advised. I think It is likely that the report, after being read, will be referred to the street committee or to a special committee for consideration. It will require some time to go into it In detail, and it being one of the most Important matters up for discussion at this time, it must not be pushed along in haste."

Hear of Struggle in Oregon and Will Send English Delegates to Watch Voting in - Denver. BUFFALO, N". T., Oct. 19. Mrs. Philip Snowden, of England, tonight addressed an open session of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Mrs. Snow den presented the cause of the English women in such a favorable light that the crowd rose and cheered her for her views. Resolutions extending sympathy and good wishes to the women of England were adopted with rousing cheers, in which both men and women joined. Harriet E. Grim, of Illinois, spoke on "The Womanly Woman in Politics." She was followed by Katherine Reed Ballen tine, a daughter of the late Thomas B. Reed. Miss Laura Gregg, of Kansas, a Suf fragist organizer, told of the struggles in Western states, especially in Oregon and Oklahoma, where it was said that the real enemy to woman suffrage is the saloon and brewery interests. It was announced that Ray Costello and Eleno Randall. English suffragists, will, at the close of the convention, accompany Rev. Anna Howard Shaw to Denver, where they will remain until after the election, for the purpose of watching the women vote. Delegates from California and other states related their experiences in trying to get favorable action on woman suf frage measures before, the Legislatures.
