LopMalure to Organize on Parly
Lines Statement Men Try to
Make Deal So They May Have
Show In Committees.
Prospects for a caucus of the 52 Re
publican members of the House are
brightening. There Is a probability that
the standpat Statement men. who have
been holding out fop an organization on
Statement lines, eventually will come
Into the raurus which is being advo
cated by C. N. McArthur and U K.
Bean, the leading candidates for Speak
er. This prospective action on the part
of the Statement men. who have been
opposing a party caucus, denends en
tirely on the strength these forces are
able to muster in support of Bean, who
is understood to be their choice for
Speaker.
Members of the Statement camp, who
had been contending for a Statement
man for Speaker. Buffered a serious set
back in their plans when it developed
some time aco that some of their col
leagues in this county and throughout
the state would not stand for a State
ment organization of the legislature.
Those Bo-called deserters from the State
ment camp Insisted that the House
should be organized along party lines,
that the qualification of the rival candi
dates, rather than a question of whether
or not they were Statement men. should
govern the selection of a presiding offi
cer. When this ultimatum had been issued
the standpat element of the Statement
Ites Immediately began to look around
for another lineup that would afford
them the best possible advantage in the
matter of organization. It was a case
of anything to beat McArthur. and a
conference was at once arranged with
Bean, the leading opponent of the Mult
nomah County man. While no binding
agreement was reached at the meeting
of the Statement men with Bean, it is
understood that the I.ane County man.
who also is an anti-Statement member,
proposed in return for their support to
give the Statement people one-third of
the chairmanships of the important com
mittees, and the same representation on
all committees. This is said to have
been the best that could be obtained
from Bean in the way of prgmises, and
since then the Statement men have been
doing everything within their power to
advance the candidacy of the gentleman
from Lane.
Just about this time McArthur and
Bean hail a meeting at Eugene, when
both agreed to work for a caucus that
shall be held at Salem on the morning
of January 11. Just before the Legis
lature Is called to order. It will be j
then that the choice of Speaker will be
determined. The terms of the agree
ment for a caucus between liean and
McArthur are that the caucus shall not
be binding unless It is signed by at
least 40 of the 52 members. Ever since
that contract was formed Bean has been
making a vigorous campaign in the in
terest of his candidacy. With what
success Hean is meeting cannot bo
learned, although some of the Statement
members in tiiis county look we and
declare thai there is something doing.
"We are not at all alarmed by the
claims, of McArthur as to his strength,
which we are satisfied is exaggerated."
said a Statement member yesterday.
"Just now we are seeking to determine
the actual strength of Bean, including
the votes of those Statement men who
have not yet signed the caucus call. If
It develops that the combined strength
of our forces Is sufficinet to insure our
naming the Speaker we. of course, will
go into the caucus. Otherwise it is Just
as. likely that we will not.
"What we want Is to have something
to say abotit the election of Speaker.
Mr. Bean has promi.-ed us a square
deal, and that he will not use the office
to the emliarrassment of the Statement
men. Since we evidently cannot elect
one of our own men. Bean apparently
measures up to our requirements as well
as we could expect, and many of the
Statement members favor him."
McArthur. however. unquestionably
continues to be the leading candidate.
It was. reported yesterday that he had
II members signed up In his contest for
Speaker. Should the Republican mem
bership of the House, hi in all. go
into the caucus he will need but six
additional votes to give him the caucus
nomination. If the standpat Statement
men decide not to take part in the cau
cus and the 40 members called for in
the McArthur-Bean caucus agreement
sign up. it Is apparent that McArthur
already has a sufficient number of sup
porters to give him the caucus nomina
tion. Senator Jay Bowerman arrived in the
city yesterday from Condon, and is look
ing after the Interests of his candidacy
for President of the Senate. It was
dun almost entirely to the efforts of
Bowerman that a caucus of the Repub
lican members of the Senate has been
assured. The call has been signed by
18 Senators. 7 Statement and 11 anti
Statement members of a total member
ship of 23. The other five Senators
who have declined thus far to sign up
are all Statement , men. being Abraham
of Douglas. Albee. Kellaher and Selling

GIFT BRINGS HIM TROUBLE
Man Receiving Present of Launch
Finds It Is Stolen.
Bert Coldert. a Sauvies Island
farmer, thought he had made the bar
gain of his life several mornings ago.
when in return for giving three young
men their breakfast he received their
gasidine launch, worth several hundred
dollars.
-We're through with the launch now,
for we are going Inland hunting from
here." he says they told him.
Yesterday IV-puty Constable Kiernan
Invaded the island and arrested- the
farmer for having stolen property in
his possession. The owner of the craft.
Walter Johnson, of 70 Randolph street,
had traced his property and caused the
issuance of an arrest warrant from the
District Attorney's office.
The boat was stolen from its moor
ings several nights ago. Coldert's
story of receiving the boat from three
young men In exchange for breakfast
is not regarded as improbable, it being
likely that hobos bound downstream
might do such a thing. However, un
less Coldert can produce tangible evl-
iln- tf the existence of the trio, it
may have to answer to a charge of
'baling the launch. j

WHITNEY TRIAL ON
Witness Shows Peculiar Lack
of Poison Knowledge.
DOCTORS TALK OF DRUGS
Question as to Calomel Being Mer
curial Coin pound Puzzles Phy
sician SUstaken Diagnosis Is
Blamed for Girl's Death.
Pr. G. B. Wnitney, accused of man
slaughter because of the death of his
sweetheart. Miss Mabel' Wirtz. is on
trial. The first witness for the state
was called yesterday afternoon before
a Jury in Judge Cleland's department
of the Circuit Court. He was Dr. J. A.
Gilbert, who was called upon to treat
Miss Wirtz a short time before her
death. March SO.
He said that he found her mouth
and throat badly swollen, and upon
making inquiry found that she had
eaten a tamale three or four days be
fore. He thought at first it was pto
maine poisoning, with which she was
afflicted, later telling the mother it
might be diphtheria and even suggest
ing tonsilitis. He said he did not
know it was mercurial poisoning, or
salivation, until he was enlightened by
Whitney, who had administered bichlo
ride of mercury In medicinal form,
March 14. or thereabouts.
Attorney Jeffrey, for the defendant,
endeavored to show by Dr. Gilbert that
his ignorance of the true nature of
her Illness was largely responsible
for her death. The physician said he
gave the girl calomel, but said he did
not know whether calomel is of a mer
cuMous nature or not; that he did not
know Its chemical analysis. He ad
mitted, however, that two simple chlo
rides combined may poison the sys
tem. The physician also said that lie
injected anti-toxin for the diphtheria
three times; 12.000 units In all. He
took a culture to the health office, he
said, to ascertain positively what the
nature of the sickness was. Dr. Gil
bert said this was the first time he
had ever had a patient die from mer
curial poisoning. He didn't know what
symptoms a mercurially poisoned per
son would exhibit at death.
The witness reiterated on the stand
his statement, published at the time of
Miss Wirt death, that he agreed with
Whitney that he would sign "toxemia"
as the cause of the girl's death if Whit
ney would sign a statement exonera
ting Dr. Gilbert from all responsibility
for the girl's death. The doctor said
he wanted Whitney to come to Port
land and shoulder his own responsi
bility. He also admitted that he de
sired to have all the bills incident to
her treatment promptly settled.
Dr. Gilbert explained that "toxemia"
is a general form covering many kinds
of poisoning. He said he didn't think,
at the time, that it would pass the
board. Asked why he was willing to
compromise with Whitney, he said that
the druggist could have kept the entire
matter quiet, but that he wanted to
save the girl's life. If it were possible.
Regarding the drafting of the state
ment, which Whitney signed. Dr. Gil
bert said that he drew it strong to
protect himself, and that he didn't
want the 'irtz family dragged into
the affair, "If you knew the family
you would know why." he added sug
gestively. He will be placed on the
witness stand this morning to give the
dates when he commenced . his treat
ment of Miss Wirtz.
Dr. Ray W. Mattson. who conducted
the post-mortem examination at the
morgue, told of the inflamed condition
of the mouth and throat.
The Jury which is trying Whitney
is as follows: K. A. Bamford, W. A.
Cantrill. Theo Brugger. R. M. Bates.
A. G. Day. H. O. Chickering, Fred A.
Burgard, Richard Constable. Charles
Bush. G. W. Gordon. R. P. McDonald,
and P. C. Burns. Beach & Simon are
associated with Attorney Jeffrey for
the defense, while the prosecution is
being conducted by District Attorney
Cameron, and Deputy Fitzgerald.
SKLF-DIiFEXSE IS ADVANCED
Witnesses Contradict Dalian Mur

Bight witnesses were called upon to tes
tify for the state yesterday before a
t
SELSOX, WOOD AD BIKKE, WHO W
jury in Judge Morrow's department of
the Circuit Court in the case of Antonio
Petarsso. The defendant is charged with
murder In the first degree for shooting
Venc.enza Desantis. Kdward Burke, to
whom Petarsso confessed that he shot
Desantis, said that Petarsso excused his
action on the grounds that Desantis
drew a knife on him and cut him on the
chin. The witness said that the wound
on the chin could not have been made
with a knife.
' The shooting was the result of coarse
stories told by Petarsso at a wedding,
according to the state's contention, and to
Desantis' father objecting to them.
Two of yesterday's witnesses, Frank
Guranti and IJngi Martino, said that be
fore the fatal shot was fired. Desantis
said to Petarsso, "Don't shoot me, I am
already dead." Martino, who is but a
a lad," said he was with Desantis when
Petarsso advanced on them with the re
volver and told them if they did not re
treat ho would shoot them both. Martino
said he at once got out bis pocket knife,
graphically illustrating to the Jury the
manner In which he defied Petarsso.
Other witnesses were: Ungo Desantis,
Douglas Ijeisy. ex-Coroner Arthur Fin
ley. City Physician Zeigler and J. It.
Wendorf.
RECORD TIME FOR VERDICT
Manslaughter Case Disposed Of in
Less Than Nine Hours.
Casper Blinkenstorfer was found guilty
of manslaughter yesterday afternoon by
a Jury m Judge Bronaugh's- department
of the Circuit Court. The Jury brought
in the verdict at 3:4." o'clock, having been
out for an hour and a quarter. They
recommended the prisoner to the extreme
mercy of the court. Judge Bronairgh an
nounced that he will pronounce sentence
at 9:30 A. M. Friday. Attorney Lester W.
Humphreys, counsel for Blickenstorfer,
said he would not ask for time in which
to appeal until sentence has been pro
nounced. Record time was made in the trial of
the Blinkenstorfer case. It was just 8?i
hours from the time the first Juryman
was called until the verdict was returned.
Yesterday's witnesses told of Charles Heg
burn's quarrelsome disposition when
drunk. They were Charles Schoenburg,
Mr. Forester, C. Castleman, Mr. Swortz,
J. B. McOrew and O. E. Lent. Deputy
District Attorney Mosessohn opened the
argument for the state. Attorney John
H. Stevenson followed for the defense,
and Deputy District Attorney Page closed
for the state.
XO MALICIOUSNESS INTENDED
Journal Contends Article Was Justi
fied by Davis' Own Statements.
Answering the libel suit brought in the
Circuit Court by L. M. Davis, the Journal
Publishing Company asserts that it did
not maliciously malign Davis in an edi
torial during the political campaign of
last Spring, but only answered and criti
cised statements he made to a reporter
on an afternoon paper in an interview,
as well as an open letter to Governor
George E. Chamberlain, which . he pub
lished in The Oregonian, June 23.
The Journal contends that its article
was justified by Davis' statement that
there was a question in his mind whether
a Statement No. 1 pledge could be re
garded a binding on a legislative candi
date if Chamberlain was found to have
used the phrase. "Roosevelt Democrat"
to deceive the voters of the state. Davis
sued for $40,000 damages.
LIFE SENTENCE FOR JOHNSON
Slayer of Companion in Barroom
Gets Just Deserts.
Matt Johnson, the slayer of Fred J.
Holock, who was convicted of murder in
the second degree, was sentenced by
Judge Cleland in the Circuit Court, yes
terday morning, to serve the rest of his
natural life in the Penitentiary. No
emotion marked the prisoner's demeanor
and fie did not answer when the court
asked. him If there was any reason why
sentence should not be pronounced. At
torney J. A. Jeffrey asked for five days
in which to file a motion for a new trial
Johnson's neck is still swathed in band
ages on account of the gash he cut in his
throat with the razor while on trial.
Jury Fails to Agree.
After deliberating for 19 hours without
reaching a verdict. Uie Jury which tried
W. K. Douglas for embezzlement, was
discharged by Judge Morrow in the Cir
cuit Court at 5 o'clock last night. 1 The
foreman informed the court that the jury
was nearly evenly divided on the question
of Douglas' guilt. He is charged with
having appropriated to his own use funds
belonging to the Thiel Detective Agency
while lie was in its employ. Owing to
the large amount of documentary evidence
the case took up much time and it will
now be necessary to submit it to another
jury.

REGATTA FOR COAST
Big
Aquatic Gathering Will
Be Held on River.
FEATURE OF ROSE FESTIVAL
Committee In Charge of Local Cele
bration Plans to Assemble Yachts
and Other AVater Racers
Here in Spring.
Some mid-week evening, the exact date
of which lias not yet been decided upon,
will be reserved for a Water Carnival as
a part of the programme for the six days
of the third r.nnual Rose Festival. June
7-12, 1909. If present plans do not mis
carry, the foremost racing crews of the
Pacific Coast will he brought together
for a regatta during' the afternoon of the
day on which the carnival is to be held.
Negotiations will be opened within the
next two or three weeks with every row
ing and aquatic club on the Pacific Coast,
with the leading yacht clubs as well,
with a view of holding the greatest
water festival ever arranged on the Pa
cific slope as a part of the Rose Festival
celebration.
Efforts will be made to renew amicable
relations among the expert oarsmen of
Portland and the boatsmen of Van
couver. Victoria, Seattle, Everett and
other Puget Sound points, to the north:
and also with similar 'organizations at
San Francisco, University of California
at Berkeley, the Stanford University at
Palo Alto and with aquatic clubs at Los
Angeles and San Dtego.
In years past, local conditions at
various points up and down the Coast
have interfered with having any gen
eral regatta in which the best of water
sportsmanship could be brought out; but
the Rose Festival management hopes,
with the assistance of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition Commission at Seattle,
to arrange for a series of tournaments in
the Northwest during the month of June
next year.
Pacific Coast oarsmen are in class with
the best of the amateur boatmen of the
Eastern colleges and universities, and the
executive committee of the Festival sees
no reason why a grand tournament can
not be arranged; so that the flower of
rowing atliietes can be brought together,
both at Portland during the Festival, and
the week later at Seattle, as special at
tractions for the two big celebrations in
the Pacific Northwest.
If such a thing is possible, the Festi
val will attempt to hold single scull races
among the best of talent that California,
Portland, Seattle and British Columbia
affords and will arrange for two, four
and eight-oar matches next June.
For the yacht clubs of the Pacific Slope
the local clubs will be asked to lend their
support to a proposition to bring together
the trimmest and fleetest yachts on the
"sunset Blope." and there is good reason
to expect that a general representation
will be made; from the fact that it lias
been several years since the Northwest
ern yachtsmen have had any chance to
match prowess with the sailboat men of
California.
Letters to the different organizations
will be sent out before the year is spent,
and handsome cash prizes and trophies
will be hung up as added inducements
for the water sportsmen to meet here
during the next Rose Festival. Seattle
can be relied upon to assist in this plan
for the reason that Lake Washington
which lies right at the foot of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition grounds is one
of the finest bodies of inland water on
the Coast available for such feats of skill.

Right Johnson Gets His.
C. J. Johnson pleaded guilty to simple
larceny bfore Judge Gantenbein In the
Circuit Court yesterday, and was sen
tenced to serve six months In the County
Jail.' He stole a suitcase of clothing
belonging to Elmer M. Downing, on No
vember 22. An effort was made to ar
raign him early last week, but as there
were upwards of five Johnsons in jail, the
wrong men were brought into the courtroom.
To Woodscross and the upper Salt
Lake valley the search for one of the
East Side Bank robbers shifted yester
day and now that entire district is being
gone over with a fine comb. Advices
to this effect were received by the local
authorities, and at the same time it
was urged that the local end be worked
more vigorously on the theory that one
of the three holdups has remained in
Portland.
, The mvsterious Charles Price, who
called for the $2t00 of stolen money
shipped by him to Ogden on Saturday,
has been traced to Woodscross, a set
tlement of 200 people about 18 miles south
of Ogden, and a similar number of miles
north of Salt Lake City. It was learned
yesterdav that the secret service men had
iocated the trail definitely at Woodscross,
and thought it was a matter of only a
short time until the fugitive would be
flushed.
But for the nervous demeanor of the
postal clerk at Ogden. the fellow would
have been caught on asking for his
mail. For the minute the money was re
turned by Charles Price, a plasterer who
had received it by mistake, officers were
stationed at the postofflce and these
men, it Is learned, were actually In the
postoffice when the fugitive put in ap
pearance. Being naturally very suspic
ious, the fellow read" instantly In the
face of the clerk that something -was
wrong. Without a moment of hesita
tion he turned and ran from the post
office. Escapes by Odd Luck.
Two strokes of good luck saved him. A
streetcar was passing, which he boarded.
The car took him to the Union Depot
at Ogden. All trains on the Oregon
Short Line back out of the depot and
leave by way of a "Y," and a train was
already under way when the fellow ran
up. By a neat bit of sprinting he
climbed aboard.
Wires were cent ahead to Salt Lake to
detain the fellow, but the tram slowed
down at Woodscress and he jumped off,
so members of the train crew reported
on being interviewed later by the authori
ties. Considerable time was then lost In
exchanging wires with Portland in an ef
fort to establish beyond doubt that the
money recovered was that stolen from
the East Sido Bank. Without being cer
tain of that the authorities hesitated in
making an immediate and active chase.
This was another bit of good luck for the
fugitive.
It is learned that he did not secure
quarters at Woodscross, and that he did
not hire a rig from any of the farmers
in the immediate vicinity. He could not
have gone inland, for the Wasatch range
is nearly impassable at this season; while
to the west Is the Great Salt Lake, and
a great sand desert covered with snow.
From Woodscross the authorities, who
are being advised locally of the progress
of the chase, say he had to proceed
either south to Salt Lake, covering 18
miles of slushy roads, or paee over along
stretch of small hills and walk back to
Ogden; provided, of course, that he did
not find safe harbor in the vicinity. The
secret service men are covering both
routes, and incidentally canvassing the
farmhouses thereabouts.
Expect Leading Clew.
It is believed here that when the offi
cers get through with their present
search they will have discovered that the
fugitive hired some farmer to take him
by sled as far as the Hot Springs, just
out of Salt Lake, from which place
he could have walked along a surburban
pathway and taken a streetcar 'to the
heart of the city without rousing the
slightest suspicion. Once in Salt Lake
the tracing of the fellow would be next
to impossible, for the description of him
is vague; and there are at least seven
routes he could choose from In leaving
the Utah metropplis.
Formal application for permission to re.
turn the M00 to Portland for the pur
pose of identification by H. H. Newall,
president of the East Side Bank, has been
made. It is probable that the bank
will get all this- money back, which will
reduce the loss materially. Newall said
yesterday that he had heard nothing
about the money being recovered, but the
authorities say he has been duly noti
fied and Is now negotiating for the re
turn of the cash.
The belief is growing that one of the
robbers headed &ast, one went south into
California, and that the other is remain
ing in Portland. The officers are inves-

Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.
When your stomach goes on a strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it is that
you should ait up and take notice.
It is cieariy and only a question of
common sense is this thing called
Dyrpepsia. Tane away, by abuse, over i
eating, excesses and high living, the
things which the stomach needs and
you have dyspepsia and indigestion;
then other maladies foilow these this
is common sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do its work. You take
away the materials which are so neces
sary for it to use.
Give back these materials and dys
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do Its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for its digestive glands,
nourishment und power. All these
necessities it takes from the blood. If
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the hlrfod gives nothing to tho stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple and unalioyed.
