STRAUS
HEARING
COMES TO CLOSE
Commissioner Cannon" Will
Pass on Charge of Embez
zlement Tuesday.
MANY FACTS HELD BACK
'iWense Springs No Sensations, but
Witnesses Charge Books of Of
fice Were Altered to Conceal
Shortage From Inspectors.
After listening for three days to the
testimony produced at the hearing of
Charles A. Straus, e-cashier of the
Portland poatofflre, charged with em
bexzlement, United States Commissioner
Cannon last night announced that he
would take the case under advisement
and would render a decision next Tues
day. During the three days of the hear
' lng a great deal of testimony was in
troduced ty the Government. Assistant
Vnitcd States Attorney Evans did not
rt until yesterday afternoon at 5
o'clock, and Commissioner Cannon. In
orW to nntsh the hearing, held a night
session.
Contrary to expectations, nothing sen
sational was brought out by the wit
nesses for the defense. In fact, beyond
establishing the fact that Straus" eyes
were In a serious condition, very little
of Importance was developed, and some
of the testimony was stricken out be
cause Commissioner Cannon ruled It Im
material. It has been evident that the
counsel on both sides were holding back
Important testimony and the attorneys
for the defense especially Intimate that
In case Straus Is brought to trial there
will be many sensational disclosures. By
the testimony of Miss Bollman and that
of th postal inspectors it was shown
that It has been no unusual thing to
force balances In order to make the
quarterly reports read correctly.
N'lght Session Is Held.
During the night session very little
testimony was Introduced by the defense.
Ir J. N. Coghlan. who has been treating
Straus for his eyes was called and testi
fied that Straus came to his office for
examination. April U. of this year. Dr.
Coghlan said that he found Straus eyes
In a verv serious condition and had
ordered him to quit work. Attorney Evans
did not cross-examine Dr. IVghlan and
upon a motion, his testimony was
stricken from the record.
H D. Wagnon. who was an election
Judge at predict No. 4 during the pri
maries, testified that on primary day,
Straus came to the voting place and that
his evesight was so bad he asked help
to mark- his bsllot. Wagnon said that
he had helped Straus mark his ballot.
Mrs. Straus also testified concerning the
condition of her husband's eyes.
Gus Waterford. whose name was men
tioned as one of the employes who had
keys to the storeroom of the Postofnce,
emphatically dented on cross-examination,
that he had ever taken any of the
stock and disposed of It for his own pur
pose. Very little of Jmportance was
brought out by his testimony. He ad
mitted that Postmaster -Minto had de
ducted a certain amount of money from
his salary each month. He said he did
not know why It was held ovtt. "but that
It was " Waterford declared that he was
not dismissed from the Postofnce because
he had been intoxicated and said he was
out of a job because Mr. Mlnto had told
him his position had been abolished.
Arguments In Case Brief.
The arguments submitted were brief.
Mr Bvans, for the Government, con-t-nded
that the testimony had shown
there was a shortage of over HOOO In
the cashier's department and contended
that Straus was responsible because h
was in charge of the department when
the shortage was discovered. Attorney
La Roch arcued the case for the defense
The morning and afternoon sessions ot
the hearing brought out several sensa
tional disclosures. One was the testi
mony of Miss Bollman, who has taken
Straus- place since he left the depart
ment. She testified that, under instruc
tions of Postmaster Minto and Assist
ant Postmaster Shipley, she had erased
items from the hooks showing that 19.01S
Snt stamps. 0 stamped envelopes
and other stock valued at 0O were mtes
irg or unaccounted for, in order that
the Postal Inspectors who were then In
vestigating Straus' accounts might not
se them. Another sensational disclos
ure brought out during the testimony of
this witness, was that, when an Inven
tory of the stock was being taken, a box
supposed to contain etarhped envelopes
was filled with mail bass.
During her testimony Miss Bollman
contradicted the testimony given on
Tuesday by Postmaster Mlnto, concern
Ira: the transfer of Dr. J. J. Storey. Mr.
Minto swore that he had offered Dr.
Storey to Straus as an additional assist
ant a'nd denied that Dr. Storey was to
take the place of Miss Bollman. Miss
Bollman swore that she overheard Mr.
Mlnto say that Dr. Storey was to take
her place, a thing to which Straus ob
jected. During the cross examination of
Mies Bollman It was hrouxht out that
she had rhansed certain entries In the
books, made in red Ink. to black ink at
the direction of Mr. Mlnto and Mr. Ship
lev. The witness admitted on redtrect
examination that the Instructions given
her. mlirht not have been for the pur
pose of "covering; up." 1
Shipley Adds Few Points.
Beyond the assertion that mair sacks
were discovered In the box supposed
to contain stamped envelopes, nothing
much was obtained by the testtmony
of Assistant Postmaster Shipley. He
told of the part he took In disclosing
the shortage, and said that he had
made the investigation under the direc
tion of Postmaster Minto. who had
shown him a letter from Washington,
railing attention to the fact that the
customary quarterly report had not
been rendered. Mr. Shipley admitted
that at one time he had the combina
tion to the safe, but said that he had
never opened the safe himself.
Following the testimony of Mr. Ship
ley came the testimony of the Postal
Inspectors who made several Inspec
tions of Straus' hooks and department.
The testimony of Inspectors Riches.
Clements and Whalen were all along
the same line. Inspector Riches gave
a detailed account of how the Inspec
tion was made, and of the conversa
tions hs had with Straus while the In
spection was golnK on. He said that
on account of the high regard in which
he held Straus, he had requested the
department at 'Washington to give
Straus time In which to recover his
eyesight. Straus, he said, helped the
Inspectors two days, and seemed to be
satisfied that their work had been com
plete. Inspector Riches said that when
it became apparent there was no
rhance to clear op the shortage, a for
'gcai demand was mida upon Straus to
make good the amount. This, the wit
ness swore. Straus refused to do.
MARYLAND VOTE IS SPLIT
'Continued From Pase 1.)
City vote showed a gain of 17 for Taft.
This added to the ofTlclal plurality gave
him a lead of 1967 In this city. The
totalling and verifying of the county vote
tonliht was beina- made with the utmost
-care and consequently was slow.
1 nis result, ir oorne oui
plete official count. Is a precise dupli
cation of what occurred In the Presi
dential election of 1904. and the reason
is that apparently more Republicans
marked their ballots for the first named
elector only. This Is considered to be
due chiefly to" the ballot law, which
prohibits the party emblem. The Illit
erate witer frequently marks his ballot
o that it counts for the first elector
on the ticket, and, as the Republican
illiterate vote, because of the large
number of neuron in that party. Is
greater than the Democratic, there is
always a considerable discrepancy be
tween the vote received by the first
Republican elector and the others. '

OVER 1,000,000 OHIO VOTES
i
Taffs Plurality Swells to 70,000.
Legislature Is Republican.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 8. Ohio
polled a vote In Tuesday's election that
surpassed the 1.000.000 ballots deposited
four years ago, making a new high
record for Ohio voters. Enough was
known early Tuesday night to make It
evident that the Republicans had given
a heavy rote for Taft and that Harmon.
Democrat, had won for Governor, but
exact figures were slow in coming In.
The Immense ballot, which had com
pelled the making of special boxes, was
In part responsible for this slowness,
but the large number of Taft-Harmon
votes cast caused much of the difficulty.
Taft carried Ohio probably by more
than 70,000, while Harmon won by about
20.000. Such figures as have been re
ceived on minor candidates, although
meager. Indicate the probable victory of
all other Republicans on the state ticket.
The Republicans are believed to have
won the Legislature.
It Is reasonably sure that the three con
stitutional amendments have failed, lack
of Interest thus having cost the state con
siderable money without any return in the
way of settling the amendments.
Senator Foraker Is a candidate for re
election, but several other prominent Re
publicans have been suggested by their
friends. Under the state constitution, the
Legislature Is to meet one year from next
January, although ths Senatorial term
begins on March 4 next. If the constitu
tional amendment to remedy this matter
has failed. It is probable that a special
session of the Legislature will be called
to elect a Senator.
No reports have been received to show
the vote of the minor parties.
NEW SENATOR FROM OHIO
Special Session Will Elect Successor
to Foraker.
COLUMBUS. O.. Nov. 5. The election
of a Republican to succeed J. B. Foraker
to the United States Senate Is assured
bv the returns indicating that the -Republicans
have carried the General As
sembly by a substantial Joint majority.
A proposed amendment to the Constitu
tion providing for a session of the Leg
islature In January next failed of pass
age. When this became known it was
said that the Democratic Governor-elect.
Judson Harmon, would have the oppor
tunity to name a successor to serve from
the expiration of Senator Foraker's term
In March next until the following Janu
ary when the next regular session of
the' Assemblv would be held. However.
It was disclosed today that the Republi
cans plan to ask Governor Harris to caU
a special session before the term of Mr.
Harmon begins for the selection of For
aker's successor. This could be done,
since the term of the Legislature begins
January 1. ten days before that of the
new Governor.

Freight Agent Miller Declares Cam

a Veritable Paradise.
BT C. H. WILLIAMS.
McMINNVILLE. Or., Nov. 5. (Spe
cial.) Big crowds greeted the South
ern Pacific's farming demonstration
train today on Its tour of Yamhill
County, in many ways the best farm
ing section of the state. At Newberg.
the first stop, 1500 people viewed the
exhibits. There were 600 school chil
dren at the train and students from
Pacific College helped swell the au
diences. The crowd at McMinnvllle
was large. Stores were closed while
the train was In the Walnut city and
farmers who came In from miles
around thronged the exhibit cars.
Amity, a smaller place, turned out a
large number of ' Interested farmers
and townspeople.
"I thought the campaign was over."
said a farmer at Amity as General
Freight Agent R. B. Miller came out
on the rear platform of the private
car California to make an introductory
speech that the farmer evidently
feared was to be of a political nature.
Campaign of Wide Import.
"No. it has Just begun," said Mr.
Miller. .
"But we voted the other day," said
his questioner.
"I refer to the campaign for better
farming and dairy methods in this
fertile Willamette Valley," said Mr.
Miller. "We have something here
more vital than any campaign issue
you ever studied, something that means
more to you than the tariff and some
thing more convincing than the
speeches of many candidates. Our
campaign Is for better farms, happier
homes, easier work, for farmers and
farmers' wives and a denser popula
tion. This train is starting it. We
hope to keep the campaign up until
this valley -shall be a veritable para
dise with the land producing as It
ought to produce and every farmer
making a comfortable living off half
the land he farms today.
Short speeches were made at the
three stops today by Mr. Miller, Dr,
WIthycombe and the various O. A. C.
professors, who are demonstrating the
value of scientific methods in agri
culture, dairying and fruit-growing
After introductory remarks, the
crowds were invited to pas through
the exhibit cars and have the demon
strators show them everything they
wanted to see.
Exhibits Attract Attention.
The exhibits, diagrams and demon
strations are all intensely practical,
and 'every object carried on the train
was put there because It would give
Information on subjects about which
the farmers are asking. The O. A. C.
professors selected the exhibits with
a view to covering the topics most
frequently asked about In the corres
pondence between farmers of the Wil
lamette Valley and the college experi
ment station.
Today at Newberg and McMinnvllle.
one man attended the demonstrations
and lectures who came all the way
from Portland to learn about modern
farming methods. After the Newberg
demonstrations he went on to McMinn
vllle to see what he could learn fur
ther and he declared himself well re
paid for making the trip. At Carlton
the last stop yesterday, one farmer
drove 16 miles and others came 12
miles to see the demonstration train.
Many Question Are. Asked.
The audiences that the demonstra
tors had today were larger than yes
terday and a feature of today's ses
sions was the more frequent asking
of questions, showing the interest of
those In attendance.
The milking machine continues to
be the Btar attraction of the train.
Tamhill County people are not alto
gether unfamiliar with this appara
tus, for one woman In this county op
erates a dairy of 20 cows and uses the
machine altogether in milking them.
Tonight at McMinnvllle, the Com
mercial Club gave a reception to the
railroad men and the O. A. C. profes
sors and demonstrators on board the
special. Short Informal talks were
made by officials of the club on the
value of the work being done by the
train and responses were made by the
railroad men expressing a spirit of
co-operation In the development of the
whole valley section.
An Imposing array of railroad talent
Is aocompanylng the train. In addi
tion to General Freight Agent Miller,
General Passenger Agent William
McMurray is on board, and A. A.
Morse, In charge of the train, repre
sents the freight department. Super
intendent L. R. Fields, of the Oregon
Lines of the Southern Pacific, is along
In his car California, and Charles A.
Malboeuf. district freight agent for
the Southern Pacific, Is on board, to
gether with H. A. Hlnshaw, travel
ing freight agent for the Southern Pa
cific Guy Anderson, secretary to Mr.
Miller and John Sibley, secretary to
Mr. Fields.
Splendid weather has been met with
everywhere on the trip so far. but such
excellent conditions are hardly ex
pected to last throughout the eight
day Itinerary. However. In case of
rain, the farmers will be Invited Inside
the cars and lectures will be given
In the day coach carried and in the
sleeper, while the exhibits will be
housed from the weather at all times
in the baggage coaches. .
Cows Stand Trip Well.
The two cows taken along from the
Oregon Agricultural College are stand
the trip In fine shape. Both are model
dairy cattle, one being an Ayreshlre
and the other a Jersey. They repre
sent what is considered the most de
sirable types of cattle for farmers to
use In building up dairy herds. Their
good and bad points are carefully ex
plained to the farmers at each stop
by Harry Asbahr. herdsman from the
college, who Is In charge of them and
who Is referred to as ths "cowboy" of
the expedition.

McEwan, of Fort Hunter, Pa. She
aays:
"For five months I was tinder a doc
tor's care, suffering from what he term
ed chronic sciatio rheumatism. The
disease settled in my hips and knees and
I suffered intense darting pains. So se
vere was the pain at times that I would
have to cry out, and sometimes I was
perfectly helpless. My limbs were so
sore that I was unable to bear the weight
of the bed clothes over me. I was ex
tremely nervous, had no color, and did
not seem to have mnch blood. I had no
appetite and food caused me great dis
tress. I was constipated and suffered
constantly from a dull throbbing head
ache. "I had no strength and was reduced
in flesh until I was a mere skeleton.
As the doctor could not help me, I de
cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
which were recommended by an annt.
After nsing the pills a short time I
noticed a decided change for the better,
and I kept on with them until the rheu
matism left me entirely."
