LUMBER NOT TO BE FREE
All Signs Point to Duty, for Aldrlcli
Is "Sure to Know.
OREXSONIAN NEWS BUREAU. - Wash
Ington, May 7. Evidence accumulates to
substantiate the belief that lumber will
not be placed on the free list. A few
days -ago Senator Simmons, of North.
Carolina, was making a speech in advo
cacy' of a duty on lumber, when Senator
Aldrich interrupted. This ie what he
said:
"A large majority of the Senators upon
the Republican ' side are in favor of
keeping the duty on lumber as a protec
tive duty. A considerable portion, I think
a majority on that side of the aisle are in
favor of a duty on lumber as a revenue
duty. Now, let us agree that so far as
this bill is concerned we shall waive
the question of names. We are both for
the samp thing under different names."
Which led Senator Beveridge parenthet
ically to quote: "A rose by any other
name would smell as sweet." And he
added: "It does not make any difference
whether this duty Is for protection or
j for revenue.'
The significance of the incident Ilea
in ine iact inai aunaiur Aiuncii, n
charge' of the- tariff bill, coines- pretty
near knowing how the Senate is going
to vote, and his knowledge is almost as
accurate regarding Democrats as Repub
licans. When he publicly declares that
the duty on lumber will be retained, it
may be set down for a certainty that
the advocates of free lumber are facing
defeat.
BOY LEAPS FROM TRAIN
OX WAY TO KErORM SCHOOL HE
IS BADLY HURT.
Joseph Johnson, of Astoria, Jumps
Against Rock Wall and Bounds
Back Cndcr ' Wheels.
In a desperate attempt to escape from
the custody of Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy,
of Clatsop County, Joseph Johnson, an in
corrigible boy, 19 years old, who was
being1 taken from Astoria to the Reform
School at Salem, jumped from the train
last night, between Holbrook and Soap
pooee. and was perhaps fatally injured.
The boy leaped from the ' car without
looking while it was going at 30 miles an
hour and struck a solid wall of rock.
His body bounded back and was mangled
by the car wheels. One of his arms was
almost severed from his body and in-,
juries inflicted to the brain.
Sheriff Pomeroy and his prisoner were
seated In the day coach when suddenly
the boy rose and ran for the door. The
officer pursued him and reached the plat
form In time to grab at his coat as he
eaped into the darkness. Had It not been
for the rock wall he might have escaped
without injury.
Conductor Lowe backed the train and
the unconscious boy was found beside the
track. He was hurried to Portland and
conveyed in an ambulance from the Cen
tral Stables to the Good Samaritan Hos
pital, where surgeons worked over him
moet of the night in an effort to save him.
The boy is the son of Henry Johnson, a
fisherman living in Astoria and had been
committed to the Reform School yester
day by the court. Grave doubts were ex
pressed by the surgeons who dressed his
wounds last night as to hlsi recovery.
KAINS MAY GO AS THAW
IF
A V QUIT TE 1 , HIS SANITY
MAY BE TESTED.
Experts Testify He Was Xot Crazy at
Time of Shooting Both Sides
to Finish Monday.
FLUSHING, N.. Y., May 7. Captain
Peter C. Hains," slayer of W. E. Annis,
may go the way of Harry K. Thaw,
who killed Stanford "White.
It was said after today's session of
the trial if Hains is acquitted on the
ground of Insanity, the court may
deem it necessary to order a lunacy
commission to Inquire Into his pres
ent, mental condition.
The giving- of testimony was prac
tically finished today. On Monday
both sides will sun up and Justice
Garretson probably will charge the
jury Tuesday.
Most of tho day's session was taken
up with the testimony of the state's
three insanity experts. They all ex
pressed the opinion, predicated on the
hypothetical question prepared by the
prosecution, - that Captain Hains was
sane at the time he shot and killed
Ann Is.
The District Attorney did not call
Mrs. Annis, the widow of the mur
dered man, as had been expected.
Dr. Horace G. Houghton, the last
witness called by the prosecution yester
day, was croGsTexamined by Mr. Mclntyre.
The witness said Captain Hams was
walking up and down the float near him
and he had a good opportunity to ob
serve his conduct.
Policeman Eugene A. Fallon testified
that he saw Captain Hains at the Flush
ing Police Station after the shooting.
Captain Hains wrote a telegram and
asked Fallon- to send It. The District
Attorney put the telegram in evidence.
It read:
"Have shot Annis. Come to Flushing
Police -Station. Peter."
The witness ' described Hains' appear
ance and conduct at the time as rational.
Charles G. Brink, of New York, qualified
as an expert on mental and nervous dis
eases. .
The witness is assistant alienist at
Eellevue Hospital. New York. In reply
to the hypothetical question, he said
Captain Hains was sane and knew the
nature and quality of his act, and that
it was wrong when he shot Annis. Cap
tain Hains simply displayed an emotional
outbreak when he shot Annis, the phy
sician said. On cross-examination. Brink
said that he did not consider Dr, 1.
Pierce Clark, one of the defense's ex
perts, an eminent alienist.

THUGS ARE ROUTED
Frank Peterson Then Gives
Chase and Makes Capture.
BADLY BEATEN WITH GUN
Contractor, 5 4 Years Old, Although
Bleeding From Wounds, Keeps
V'p Pursuit . and John
Mills Is Arrested.
Held up at tite muszle of a revolver
at Third and College streets last night
by two young thug's, Frank Peterson, a
contractor, 64 years old, who lives at 452
Sixth street, put the highwaymen to rout
with his bare fists. After having been
knocked down and beaten over the head
with :i revolver butt, he arose and gave
chase to the footpads, finally succeeding
in capturing one of them several blocks
away. The chase was witnessed by a
number of people, who would not lend
assistance for fear of the robbebr with
the gun.
John Mills, a curly-haired youth oT
17, one of the robbers, was caught at
Fifth and Montgomery streets and held
until the arrival of tho police. All the
tricks of the "third degree" failed i.o
elicit any information regarding his
antecedents. The other thug jumped
the fence at the house of Dr. tieorge
Strowbridge, D65 . Fifth street, and
made good his escr.pe.
Portland's police annals do. not contain
a more . remarkable record of bravery
and persistence than displayed last night
by Mr. Peterson. He had left his . own
house to take a few articles of clothing
to the home of bis sister, who lives on
the East Side. - With a suitcase in his
hand, he walked to Fifth street to take
a car. Finding none there, he went on
to Third street to catch a car there.
Peterson was walking across College
street when he encountered the two rob
bers coming toward him. Both were
young, well dressed and nothing in their
appearance excited his suspicion. When
they reached him they suddenly sepa
rated. The one who later escaped pressed
a revolver quickly to his heart and said,
"Keep quiet now and give right up or
I'll blow your head off. We want your
money.'
With this Mills threw his arms about
the old man to prevent his movement. As
he did so the doughty contractor let fly
with his fists. Grabbing the arm of the
man wielding the weapon the elderly man
clung to it with one hand while he rained
blows upon his assailants with the other.
In the struggle the thug wrenched his
gun free from the victim's hold and
struck him down. Not for one instant
did Petcj-son give up. Blow after blow
came down on his head but he fought
with redoubled efforts.
At last the thugs fled, but Peterson
rose and. although bleeding freely, ran
after them. Three times they circled the
block bounded by Hail. College, Third
and .Fourth streets. The gray-haired
man exhibited as remarkable prowess as
a runner as he had as a fighter and the
young fellows were unable to shake him
off.
After three times around the block an
unknown passerby joined Peterson and
the two robbers then ran north on Third
to Montgomery, where they turned west
to Fifth. Here they were overtaken by
their pursuers and Mills was caught,
while his companion got away.
The man who escaped is described as
being a Mexican, aoout 21 years old,
dressed in a dark suit and a black slouch
hat. creased in the middle. He was the
only one of the two who was armed.
The description of this pair corresponds
exactly with that of the robbers who
held up a citizen a short time ago at
Fourteenth and Montgomery streets.
STRIKES GIRL IN FACE
L. MEKKITT, JEALOUS, AT
TACKS SWEETHEART.
Waits Until She ' Returns i'rom
Walk, Lets Companion Go and
"Fights Young Woman.
The jealousy of B. L. Merritt led "him to
take extreme measures with the lady
whom ' he loves last night. Miss Kittie
Hudson, of 175 Twelfth street, has been
going with Merritt for some time. They
had a little difference over something,
and last night Miss Hudson -went out with
another man. Merritt saw them on the
street together and going to the young
woman's home, camped .on the doorstep
and waited.
Instead of venting his wrath on the
man, however, Merritt attacked the girl,
and did it in strenuous fashion. Off the
steps of the house and into the street
they struggled, and Miss Hudson was
getting very much the worst of it, when
G. E. Frost and J. C. Prigmore, roomers
in the same house where the young
woman lives, came to her rescue and
drove off the jealous Merritt. Patrolman
Manling happened along and promptly
tbok Merritt to the station. The girl
followed as soon as she had got herself
presentable, but relented and would press
no charge.
The police had their own opinion of
Merritt's actions, however, and booked
him under a charge of disorderly. Miss
Hudson, while not seriously hurt, was
very much disheveled and suffered some
inconvenience from a bloody nose.
WOMEN FIGHT, CRY- FORGIVE
Mrs. Susan Pallay Arrested at In
stance of Mrs. E. S. Johnson.
Mrs. Susan Pallay, of 626 Fifth street,
was arrested last night on a warrant
charging assault and battery. The com
plainant is Mrs. B. S. Johnson, the next
door neighbor of Mrs. Pallay.
The tw women, according to their own
statements, have been the best of friends
for years, Mrs. Johnson nursing Mrs.
Pallay when she was recently very ill.
but yesterday morning when Mrs. Pallay
called on Mrs. - Johnson a fight started
because one accused the other of being
sarcastic.
Versions of the affair differ, but from
all accounts . Mrs. Pallay emerged from
the fray victorious. Mrs. Johnson, with
her face scratched and her hair awry.
repaired immediately to the office of the
City Attorney, and Deputy City Attorney
R. A". Sullivan made out a complaint for
her. Mrs. Pallay secured her release last
night on $20 bail.
It was said last night that the two
friends had cried and forgiven each
other and that neither would appear in
court today when the case is called.

A Final Word to
the Voters of the
Tenth Ward
The following are some points In my
political creed:
First of all, I wear nobody's collar
or chain..
Second -I don't believe in spending
5600 for a $300 job; being a stranger
to the art of grafting, it would be a
dead loss to me.
I believe that a man who can make
an honest success of his private busi
ness can attend to the business of the
city in the same way. I believe that
the Councilman of any ward should
meet at stated times the people of
every precinct in that ward to discuss
in opejt meeting the needs o the pre
cincts. 1 believe that any man or company
who performs any service to the city
is entitled to pay as soon as it is shown
that . such service has been conscien
tiously performed.
. Finally If you expect me to sup
port any corporation or public utility
to the disadvantage or exclusion of any
other corporation or utility, don't vote
for me. And, be ye all well assured,
I will shed "no tears over my defeat.
