I
MiNTO DISPUTED
BY MRS. STRAUS
Resents Statement That Hus
band Was Out for Good Time
Before Quitting Work.
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.

TRANSFER ILLEGAL
Court Says Madison Bridge
Fund Cannot Be Used at
Market Street.
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.
