BADLY IN NEED OF MONEY Wife. of e-('ahler Sa He Brought Home Only Salary and Denies -Eye Trouble Was the Only Pretext. Efforts t. discredit the seriousness of the eye trouble because of which C. A. Ftraus obtained le?va of absence from his desk in the Postofflee. April 19. 1908. were attempted by the Oov ernment yesterday and the defense tame - back with emphatic testimony from Mrs. Straus, wife of the accused cashier. llr Straus denlett the intimation a-lven by ex-Postmaster Mlnto that Ftraus had been having a (rood time during the primaries on the day pre ceding his quitting .work. "It is absolutely untrue." she de clared. "I don't know why Mr. Mlnto should make such a statement. He certainly knew ...was not so when he made. It." Says Ktnyis Could See. ' The Government's testimony concern ing Straus' ability to see was given by Postofflee Inspector C I Wayland. Straus, said Wayland. had pleaded bad eyesight as an excuse for not person ally helplng the Inspectors check over the accounts In tne office to locate the apparent shortage In his depart ment. One day in October, testified Wayland. Straus was to be at the office at 2 o'clock. He was not there on time and Wayland mentioned it to him. Straus, said Wayland. looked up at the clock and remarked that he was only ten minutes late. "He called the time correctly as shown by the clock." said Wayland. The Government closed Its case late in the afternoon after examining Post office Inspectors E. . C. Clement. C. L. Wayland and C. B. Welter and H. S. Brlmhall. stock clerk. J. M. Jones, su perintendent of carriers. T. C. Muehe. receiving teller at the First National Bank. Miss Mary Young, a clerk in the Postofflee. and recalling Mr. Minto and his assistant. J. J. Shipley. - The testimony of the Inspectors was largely corroborative as to Straus' atti tude in discussing the shortage and the manner In which the records of the oft ice were checked. ' Could Cover Shortage. Riches went Into detail as to the failure of the cashier to enter daily balances of cash In his hooks and said that a short age of 125.000 or more could have easily been covered between inspections by us ing receipts of one-quarter to make up denelenoies In a preceding quarter when remitting to San rrancisco. An effort was made by the defense to bring out the details of "an . alleged shortage of 4 made good by Postmaster Bancroft when he retired, hut testimony on that point was ruled out as irrelevant. The defense also tried to got Inspector. Clement to admit that Straus was "sweated" by the inspectors, but an objection to the use of the term interposed by the Dis trict Attorney was , sustained, by Judge Wolverton. Mr. Minto was "recalled for the purpose of showing that he had always main tained a friendly attitude toward Mr. Straus prior to his leaving the office. This was also ruled out by the court, but Mr. Minto was permitted to read several letters he had written to the department recommending extensions in the leave of absence granted Straus because of failing eyesight. Office Business - Heavy. The testimony also went into the vol ume of work in the cashier's department, the defense trying to bring out by cross examination that the department waa overburdened. This point is considered important as giving Straus a legitimate excuse for the de.ays in making Ins quar- , ij i emiiiances. - it was Drougnt out by the testimony of tne Inspectors that four dorks were now doing the work transacted by two when Straus was In office, but Inspector Wayland pointed out that the volume of the work had been increased by making the Portland post office the depository for the funds of all Presidential offices In Oregon and by the new requirement that employes should be paid semi-monthly instead of monthly. The latter, he saiu. required the prepara tion of two payrolls a month Instead of the one required during the time Straus was In the cashier's office and that the preparation of the payroll constituted most of the writing in that department. Brimliall. the stock clerk, told of find ing the box qf letter-carrier's satchels, supposed to contain 10.00U envelopes, and Jones testified to the storing of carrier's satchels in the stockroom. Muehe iden tiried loose loaves from the First National Bank's books showing the deposits made by the Postmaster and the checks drawn on the postal fund. Mrs Straus Takes Stand. Mrs. Liria K. Straus, wife of the de fendant, in addition to directly contra dicting Mr. Minto. answered questions dealing with the intimate affairs of thelt household. She described her buM'and as a man who spent his evening at home and as one devoted to his family. Their household expenses, she said, averaged about $ a month. They lived within their means in a five-room flat, for which they paid tin a month. Mr. Straus, she said, had never brought home money to her in excess of his salary, and had made absolutely no investments beyond his means. Mrs. Straus' voice faltered as she told of their efforts to get along after her husband left the employ of the Govern ment. About 1350 waa Invested in a small restaurant on Alder street, near Sixth. There she waited on table, acted as cashiar and washed the glassware and silverware, while Mr. Straus, unable to work because of his eyes, remained at home and endeavored to do the house work and care for their little girl. Helen. Mr. Straus even did the washing. "We could not afford to do otherwise." she said. Speaking of the primary election on April IT. 1908. Mrs. Straus ssid that her husband brought -home a ballot the night before and she helped him to go over It. On election day he returned from the polls very much depressed in spirit because he had had to ask assistance in preparing his ballot. He remained at home all that evening, and at her solicitation, she said. Mr. Straus rromlsed faithfully that he would apply for a leave of absence the next day. Doctor Made Him Quit. "I spent many sleepless nights, worry ing about the condition of Mr. Straus" eyes.- she said. "The doctor told him he must quit work, but he insisted that the work had accumulated and tie was needed badly. 'Why. daddy.' I told him. 'th. postofflee will be running along all right when you are dead and gone. Tour eye sight la more important to us than your position. " Mr. Straus, she said, had consulted a Arm of oculists early in the year and had finally gone to a specialist, who had told him on April It that he must quit work. Mrs. Ftraus declared that her husband always showed a strong interest in the tangle In the postofflee affairs and talked continually about it with her and with Miss Bollman. who sometimes came to the house, and made suggestions to the latter as to where credits might be found. Mlsa Bollman. (he said, was a friend of her own as well as of Mr. Straus. Miss Bollman lived not far from them, and she considered it highly proper for her hus band to escort his assistant home when they had been working in the office at night. She recalled the circumstance brought out by the District Attorney, where Mr. Straus bought J bottle of beer on the way home with Miss Bollman. and said Mr. Strsus brought the beer on to his own home. It wasnt' an uncommon thing i ' f mm m qo, sne Mia. The defense also called H. D. Wagnon. who waa a Judge of election, in the primaries of April 17. 19nt. In precinct 14. Mr. Wagnon testified that Mr. Straus, after calling for a ballot that day, asked assistance in marking It because, of in ability to see. Mr. Wagnon said he marked the ballot under Mr. Straus' In structions. Tries to Show Carelessness. An effort was male by the defense to show carelessness "In supervision of the stockroom. O. J. Shlra. formerly watch man and fireman la the Federal building, testified that the stockroom was frequent ly left by the porter or atockclerk with the door open while the clerk answered calls from other parts of the building. H said he had seen Steve Richards, one of the porters, asleep In the room with the door open. He also said, he had seen negro friends of Gus Waterford visiting the latter in the stock-room when Water ford was in charge, and white friends frequently called on Richards. Sometimes the men wnulrl leave their friends In the stockroom and go to other parts of the building. On cross-examination Shlra said he had never seen any of these visitors carrying away auspicious-looking packsges. The defense also called Mr. Muehe who testified that Mr. Straus always deposited hl rash at 10 o'clock every morning. Straus was very punctual. Checks on the postal funds mere always signed by Mr. Mlnto. Mr. Muehe also testified that Mr. Straus "bore a good reputation as to honesty and Integrity. The defense had not completed Its evidence when adjournment was taken yesterday afternoon. DINER LEFT IN LURCH Arrested In Restaurant, He Proves He Va Stranger' Victim. Victim of a stranger's villainous hospi tality. Walter Cooper, of Pendleton. Or., spent a night In the City Jail on a charge of defrauding an Innkeeper, and he might have gone to the rockplle for a brief term except that he succeeded In establishing the truth of an extraordinary story re lated by him In the Municipal Court, yes terday forenoon. Cooper was arrested for refusal to pay for two meals in a restaurant conducted by Mrs. J. I. Bmtthson. op Morrison street. He and an associate bad eaten heartily, taking the best things on the menu. As they finished their dessert, the man m-lth Cooper got up. strolled leisurely out and disappeared. Cooper was on the point of following m-hen detained by Mrs. Stnlthson. who demanded payment for the meals. Cooper looked about in astonish ment for the other man. The latter was gone. and. not having a cent in his pock eta. Cooper couldn't ;ay for the meals. He explained that lie had money at hi room, but no one would believe htm. The police were called and he waa placed under ar rest. Cooper got his first chance to explain when he faced the court. "A stranger I had met late in the afternoon asked me to supper with him." said Cooper. "He In tested on my taking lota of good things and was free in ordering for himself. When the meal was finished he excused himself for a minute and that waa the last seen of him. I had no money, and when I was called on to pay I couldn't. I ha-e money at my room and am willing to settle." An officer was sent with Cooper, where upon It was found he had money. He set tled his bill and the charge against him waa dismissed.

THE long-heralded Shakespearean festival to be given at the Helllg Theater by the Russian Sym phony Orchestra of 4 musicians under the direction of the fa mous conductor. Modest Altschuler. and the Ben Greet playera, di rection of Ben Oreet. will take place tonight, tomorrow and Sunday nights, with a matinee performance tomorrow. An Interesting note in connection with ths coming of the Ben Greet players and the Russian Symphony Or chestra, is that among the many fea tures are the fairy dancers and singers In the young folk's ballet, interpreting the dream music of the fairy scenes. This ballet is on of tbe features of the Ben Greetlan production, and la composed of bright singers and dancers of New Tork and Boston, who havw been especially trained for the work.

HOWEVER, PERMITS VOTE Although Judge Believes BUI Would Be Ineffective, He Follows Pre cedent In Granting It Place on Ballot. Presiding Circuit Judge Bronaugh said yesterday afternoon that in his opinion the transfer of the WAoro appropriated for the Madison-street bridge to the Mar. kef-street bridge fund would be Illegal. But be said this was not a Question for him to pass upon now. He decided that J "ran me Driage petition and the wiring petition shall go on the ballot, giving to the I wo Injunction suits brought against City Auditor Barhur a knockout Mow. The plaintiffs declined to plead further, and gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court In sustaining the demurrers of Cliy At torney Kavsnaugh to the complaints. Judge Bror.au b said that the queotion In volved was practically disposed of in the case of Kadderly against the city, one of the cases cited as authority during the ar guments between Mr. Kavanatach and At torney L. A. McNary. "Before the court can hare Jurisdiction over a rase of this kind." the Judas said yesterday, "it must be proven that the proposed amendment. If adopted, would work an Irreparable 1-iJury upon the plain, tiff, and that the placing of the act on the ballot is not within the power of the city. There Is no doubt that It la wltbla the power of the ctty to pass upon the proposed measures, and that an Irrepar able Injury will not be worked either upon R. M. Wade, the ptatntlff In one case, or the Postal Telegraph Company, the plain tiff In the other." "The side remark of Judge Bronaugh that he thought the people could not transfer a fund once voted waa very III-advlei-d and Improper, as that question waa not being derided In this rase." said George 8. Shepherd last night. "It would be startling Indeed If the people could not Amend the charter m-hen a mis take has been made. The people have power to amend the charter whenever it la necessary or expedient and we soon would be In great turmoil if It were otherm-tse." In the meantime the members of the bridge committee of the Executive Board are proceeding with plans preliminary to reconstructing the Madison-street span at its present site. At an Informal meet ing of the committee yesterday pisns for tlie proposed structure were submitted by Knglnecer Howard, representing tho nrm or Kansas' City engineers which has been engaged to prepare plans and su- perlntend the construction of the viaduct at jMaoiaon street. Although the committee did not reach any dennlte decision. Its members were very favorable to the plans which' In clude s. -fo.it life draw, and 11 probably will be this type of brldsu thai will be selected. Experienced men in the employ of the engineering nrm are making soundings and asverta'nlng the artual condition of the sub-structure of the con demned Madlson-strect structure. A con tract for the new bridge cannot be let nntll plana have been adopted, but with the progress that is being made, the committee will be ready lo receive pro posals even before the question of trans ferring this bridge fund can be submitted in the June election.
