Tennessee Murder Case Nears
Its Close, Defendants Re
serving Brief Rights.
BRADFORD TELLS OF NOTE
AVas Endeavoring to Arrange Settle
ment When News of Carmack's
Death Came to Him
by Phone.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2. The
defense rested its case in chief today
in the trial of Colonel I. B. Cooper,
Kohin J. Cooper and John I). Sharpe!
charged with having murdered ex-Senator
JJ. W. Carmack. Attorney Ander
son, of the defense, said that should
the state cross-examine any of the de
fenses witnesses not heretofore put on
the stand, the defense would reserve
the right to introduce new witnesses on
any new issues that might develop
Attorney-General McCarn then secured
an-adjournment to Thursday.
The defense called Adjutant-General
Tulley Brown. He said he visited
Judge j. c. Bradford's office the after
noon of the tragedy at Bradford"s re
quest to keep a note Cooper had writ
ten from being sent to Senator Car
mack. Brown Stopped Xote.
"Whom did you find there when you
arrived?"
"Bradford and Colonel Cooper."
"What was its result?"
"Colonel Cooper agreed not to send
the note."
"Anything else?"
"Mr. Bradford was to send some one
to see Senator Carmack and adjust the
trouble. I went out to look for Colonel
Cooper. I found him in Robin's office.
The Governor wanted to see him in 25
minutes. Colonel Cooper waited until
that time to go to the mansion. Robin
wanted to go with his father, but the
Colonel objected.
"We were talking when the phone
rang. Bradford answered it. I saw
his face grow whit and he said: 'My
God!' He said Senator Carmack had
hot Robin and Robin had killed Sena
tor Carmack."
Bradford In Corroboration.
Judge J. C. Bradford told of his rela
tionship to Co'onel Cooper they mar
ried sisters and his relations with
Robin. He related the circumstances
preceding the shooting, corroborating
Adjutant-General Browne.
Judge Bradford denied that he ever
wrote a detailed statement of the trag
edy and sent it out to friends. He did
prepare a brief, or synopsis, of the de
fense's theory of the tragedy for coun
sel for the dense. Ho was excused.
After luncheon the state and defense
agreed upon a statement of facts as to
the plat in the vicinity of the crime,
distances and measurements.
W. M. Setter took the stand to tes
tify as an expert on firearms.
General Garner, for the state, handed
him Senator Carmack's revolver for ex
amination. The witness experimented
and said:
"The cylinder can be turned only by
pulling the trigger."
This slightly contradicted the testi
mony of S. J. Benning yesterday, who
swore he saw Senator Carmack testing
his revolver a few minutes before the
tragedy by twirling the cylinder with
his finger.
COAST WINS RATE CASE
tCon-tlnued From First Page.)
termedtate Interior points; held that this
scheme of rate-making has been forced
by water competition between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, and that the
maintenance of the lower rate to a more
distant coast point is not of necessity a
violation of the third or the fourth sec
tion, since water competition creates a
dissimilarity of circumstances and con
ditions between the interior and the
Coast.
Second Water competition may justify
a difference In carload minimums and In
the right of combining different commo
dities at the carload rate, as well as in
the rate itself; but carriers should be
prepared to justify such preference.
Third In determining what are rea
sonable rates between two points,
neither that railroad which can afford
to handle traffic at the lowest rate nor
that whose necessities might Justify the
highest rate should be exclusively con
sidered. Rates must be established
with reference to the whole situation.
Cannot Cut Road's Capital.
Fourth Certificates Issued against the
ore lands formerly owned by the Great
Northern Railway Company cannot be
properly considered In determining what
are roasonable earnings for that com
pany at the present day.
Fifth The Great Northern Railway
Company has in the past distributed Its
stock issues among Its stockholders at
par from time to time, although the mar
ket value of the stock was often above
par. Without expressing any opinion
upon the legality or propriety of this
practice, it Is held that this fact, at this
time, can have no bearing upon earnings
to which that company is entitled.
Sixth Neither can the capital stock of
the Great Northern Railway Company be
reduced for the purpose of determining
what its fair earnings should be, by that
amount of stock which was originally
Issued without consideration.
Seventh In determining what will be
reasonable rates for the future, the Com
mission may properly consider that under
the rates In effect a large surplus has
been accumulated In the past, but It
should not make rates for the purpose
of distributing that surplus to the public.
Klghth The Importance of the question
whether a railway shall be allowed to
earn a return upon the" unearned Incre
ment represented in the value of Its
right of way la illustrated by the facts
in this case, but is not discussed or de
cided. Ninth Upon an examination of the his
tory of these properties, the cost of re
producing them at the present time,
original cost of construction, present cap
italization and manner In which that
capitalization has been made; It is held
that the earnings of both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific In recent
years have been excessive.
Tenth The only duty of the Commis
sion in this case Is to establish reason
able rates from Eastern points of origin
to Spokane, and in so' doing it can only
act upon those rates specifically called
to its attention, although It must have
In mind the effect upon the revenues' of
these companies of resulting reductions
upon other commodities and at other
points than Spokane.
Eleventh The rates attacked are class
rates from St. Paul and Chicago to Spo
kane nd commodity rates upon 34 enu
merated articles. Class rates are estab
lished from St.' Paul to Spokane, which
are 1 2-3 per cent less than those now
In effect, and class rates from Chicago to
opoxane are made higher than those
from St. Paul by certain named arbi
trages. Twelfth In the case of afl commodi
ties except five, the present rate from
Chicago to Seattle is established as a
reasonable local rate from St. Paul to
Spokane. Upon five articles, somewhat
higher rates are fixed. Rates on these
commodities from Chicago to Spokane
are made 16 2-3 per cent above those from
St. Paul. Neither class nor commodity
rates are named from points east of
Chicago.
The order will become effective May 1.
WILIj cavse many changes
Uvdsion Will Affect Hates in Whole
Coast Territory:
ST. PAUL. Minn.. March 2. Wide
spread, changes will result from the de
cision of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the Spokane rate case, accord
ing to St. Paul railway officials. They
say the order will necessitate changes In
class rates to a great many points in Ore
gon. Washington and possibly Montana.
"There is a fixed relation between the
rates from Eastern points to correspond
ing territory served by each of the trans
continental lines." said an official to
night, "and therefore It would follow that
class rates would be reduced to points
similarly situated on the Union Pacific,
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific lines and
the ultimate effect of such changes will
be a widespread adjustment of the rates
In the whole territory west of Chicago
and south of the international boundary."
SPOKANE WIIL CELEBRATE
Hails Rate Decision as Great Event
in History.
SPOKANE. March 2. The Spokane
Merchants' Association is planning for
a great public celebration in honor of
the freight rate decision announced by
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
day. The decision, which comes after
a campaign that has been waged for
17 years by the shippers of this city,
is expected to add a vast territory to
Spokane's jobbing field and is declared
by President A. W. Doland of the Mer
chants' Association, to be "one of the
greatest things that has ever happened
in the history of Spokane."
MEN FROM COREA FEASTED
BANQUET GIVEX MISSIONARY
WORKERS.
About 200 Greet Guests and Learn
of People and Customs of
Little-Known Land.
At a banquet last night in the Port
land Commercial Club In honor of Rev.
Ernest F. Hall, Professor H. B. Hurl
burt. Dr. O, R. Avison, and Dr. Horace
E. Underwood, members of the party of
Corean Missionaries who are in Portland
this week, the status of the missionary
enterprise in that country was present
ed and the need of the assistance of
the American people In raising the relig
ious and social standard there was urged.
In four addresses of exceptional force,
eloquence and wide knowledge of the
subject, the character of this little-known
people was communicated.
Rev. Ernest F. Hall spoke on "An Ameri
can's Estimate of the Corean." in which
many of the superficial estimates of the
Corean made by travelers were disprov
ed. In his address on "An American Ed
ucator In Corea." Professor H. B. Hurl
burt gave a deeply interesting study of
the Corean. The speaker said the Cor
ean. unlike the Japanese, Is little inter
ested in the commercial side of the Amer
ican genius, but that his interest in the
religious doctrine which through Amer
ican educators, ministers and physicians
has worked such transformations In his
country has developed a strong idealistic
strain in his character. Dr. O. R. Avison
told of his experiences as a pioneer phys
ician in Corea. and the change that has
been , wrought in the life of the people
by the introduction of medical science.
Smallpox, which was formerly prevalent
almost continuously, has been nearly en
tirely eliminated. It has also accom
plished much In dissipating the popular
superstitions. Dr. Horace E. Underwood
made an eloquent plea for the continued
help of America In the work of bringing
Corea to the position among the Nations
which she Is entitled to occupy.
The banquet was attended by two hun
dred representative business, profession
al and church men. The following gen
tlemen occupied places at the speakers'
table: Robert Livingstone, Judge Wolver
ton. Dr. Sharp, Samuel Connell, Ed
ward Cookingham, R. B. Miller. John M.

HONEST MAN FOILS CRIME
CContlnued From First Page. )
communicated the details of the plot to
the Chief of Police, and as a result de
tectives were hidden in his office when
the men called. They waited until they
had heard sufficient of the plot to sat
isfy them that a heinous crime was con
templated, and then they came out from
hiding and arrested the two men.
Goodwin told the detectives that he was
convinced that a plot had been formed to
make way with him In order to secure his
property. The officers have recovered
the power of attorney given by Goodwin
to O'Loane, enabling him to sign checks
for the miner, to make loans on his prop
erties at Rebel Creek. Nev., and Silver
City, Idaho, to transact all other busi
ness for him and naming O'Loane and
Danby his sole executors In case of his
death.
One loan for J125 Is said by the police
to have been obtained on the power of
attorney. Detectives are looking for
stock In a gold mining company owned
by Goodwin and valued at $25,000. Good
win asserts that some of his checks have
been raised but, as yet, has made no
formal accusation.
Mrs. Edith O'Loane, wife of one of the
alleged conspirators,, says she knew
nothing of any plot and was innocent of
any wrong intention. She was excluded
from the room, she asserts, when the
power of attorney was signed.
.Notwithstanding her protestations of
Innocence. Mrs. O'Loane was placed un
der arrest this afternoon, the detectives
being convinced that she has not told
all she knows of the affair.
The two men asked the landlady of
the house where they lived. Miss Esther
Gode, for a key to .the old miner's room
on Saturday, saying they wanted to Inrk
j him In. She refused to do so until her
suspicions were allayed by the statement
that they feared he might wander away
while under the Influence of liquor.
Goodwin said this afternoon that he
first met O'Loane In Nevada, about five
years ago. when he was prosepctlng.
Later he saw him In Reno, where he
ran a saloon. He met him recently in
this city. Danby was introduced to
Goodwin by O'Loane

GIRL THIEF FREED
Claire Curtiss Out on Ten
Years' Probation.
DELAY COMPANION'S CASE
Oregon Girls 'Who lyed Ciay and
Festive Iife In Hay City Are
Leniently IKaIt With by
Probation Officers.
OAKLAND, Cal.. March 2. (Special.)
Claire Curtiss. aged 19 years, was placed
on probation today for ten years, after
she had entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of grand larceny. Marie Strong,
who is alleged to have been the Curtiss
girl's companion In crime, pleaded guilty
and her case was referred to Probation
Officer Ruess ' for investigation. Miss
Strong was represented In court by her
brother. Harold Strong, an attorney of
Portland. Or.
Probation Officer Ruess in reporting on
the Curtiss case, said she was "more to
bo pitied than to be condemned." The
girl's father is a contractor ' at Cor
valls. Or., her grandfather was former
ly a Judge, and she has an aunt who is
an instructor in an agricultural college.
Ruess said his investigation showed the
girl had been wild from youth, her par
ents evidently not being able to con
trol her. During the last two years she
had learned to smoke and drink. She
left her home Intent upon living a gay
and easy life. The climax came when she
robbed a man of a $300 diamond ring and
$;5 in money after he had dined with
her.
Ruess said relatives of the girl in this
city had offered her a good home, and
that she seemed touched by their kind
ness and has expressed a strong desire to
be worthy of their trust in her. He pur
posely refrained from telling of the girl's
life since ahe left home, saying: "No
good probation work can be done except
following full confessions of life habits
and because of double standard of morals
generally recognized, and the unfairness
of society toward women in this matter,
it is practically impossible to get girls or
women to tell the truth, unless they know
their confidence will be held sacred."
STEAMSHIP MAN IS HURT
Kugene K. De Grandpre l'ound
Beaten In I-Vont of Resorti
Through the finding of Eugene F. de
Grandpre. agent of the North Pacific
Steamship Company, lying bruised and
bleeding in front 'of 92 Eleventh street at
an early hour this morning, the exist
ence of an alleged disorderly house was
made known to the police.
De Orandpre was taken Into the Nor
tonla Hotel, close by, where a vicious
wound In his head was sewed up, and his
other bruises attended to. While serious
ly hurt. Dr. Kqul. who bound up his
wounds, says he will recover. De Orand
pre was found by an employe of the Nor
tonia. .who carried him into the hotel
and telephoned the, police. His home is
at 625 Broadway.
Although nearly Insensible. De Grand
pre managed to tell that he had been at
tacked while passing the place by two
men. one of whom had hit him with a
brick. Whpn he fell, he says both ran
away. Officer Stanton was sent to the
place, and In his search for evidence,
rang the bell of the house at No. 92
Kleventh street. Here he was met at the
door V.y a woman who talked very fast
and after saying that she ran a "perfect
ly respectable place and that everyone In
it was respectable," banged the door In
the officer's face.
S. S. Beck, who lives next door, on
North Fleventh street, was attracted by
the commotion and volunteered the infor
mation that he was going to make com
plaint against the place today as a dis
orderly house. Beck says sounds of rev
elry, curses, cries and other Indications
of an orgy can be heard at all hours of
the night.
