THE MORNING OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY, JUNE 29, 1909. EASTMAN BLAMED BYGORONER'S JURY Compromise Verdict Holds Him Either Entirely Guilty or Ac cessory to Foul Crime. JURORS ARE DISSATISFIED Belief Is Genuine That Not Suffi cient Evidence Was Brought Out at Inquiry Into Tragedy of Maryland River. 6T. MICHAELS, Md., June 28. With the compromise verdict of the Coroner's Jury that Robert E. Eastman either killed, or was accessory to the murder of Edith May Woodlll, and the declara tion of States Attorney Taylor that he "was through with the case, the stringe dual tragedy became a closed incident today. Four of the 12 Jurors refused to sign the verdict, and the words "or accessory to the crime" were added to the draft, which, while approved by the majority, Wuntly accused Eastman of the murder. The four dissenting: Jurors merely wished to protest, they said, against the man rier in which the inquiry was conducted, declaring that much available evidence was not adduced. Politics in Jury. The letter written by Eastman for hla wife. In which he said that Mrs. "Woodlll had boon killed by a woman In a Jealous frenzy, was not read. There was a bit of petty politics mixed up in the ver dict, as some of the members of the Jury have been bitter enemies in Talbot County affairs. The Jury gat for a time today In fhe bungalow Itself, with Eastmaa's un marked grave not 60 feet distant. Mrs. Kastman had visited the place earlier In tlie day. and had stood dry-eyed for a time beside the new-made mound. Someone with ill-judged humor had planted a tomato vine on the grave. Mrs. Eastman thinking the vine a native flower asked what it was. No one had the heart to tell her. New Theory of Crime. From the testimony, the authorities have formed this final theory: That KMtman was in need of money: that he probably had been getting money from Mrs. "Woodlll for some time; that he undoubtedly knew something of her past life, and that he had been black mailing her; that he attempted to con tinue this practice, and that the woman rebelled. Intimating that she, too. had found ouf certain things about Eastman, and that if driven to It she would ex pose him. As to why Mrs. "Woodlll went to the bungalow there was no evidence. An Interesting development was the ftr.ding of the scraps of a torn letter In the cracks of the bungalow floor. Little sense could be made from the fragments The letter evidently was about the visit of ome one to some place, to be chaperoned or not as he saw fit. The compromise verdict declared that on Sunday, June 20. In his bungalow, on Broad Creek. "Robert E Eastman feloniously killed, or was accessory to the crime of murdering Edith Mav Thompson Woodlll, wife of Gilbert Wood Ill, of Los Angeles, Cal." Jury Not Satisfied. The members of the Jury believe there may be some truth In Eastman's letter and that the mystery of the launch con taining two or three women and men. coming out of Broad Creek on which the bungalow is located, shall be cleared up. Three wine and two whisky glasses which had been used were found in the bunga low subsequent to the murder. In spite of the stories of many gay parties, drinking at the bungalow, no one of the many per sons who knew Rastman during his sev eral months' residence here can be found to say they ever saw the man take a drink either of wine or whisky. It was intimated today that the Inves tigations Into the identity of the launch party may lead to an arrest at any mo ment. However, it Ik certain that so far there Is nothing tangihle to take from Eastman's shoulders the burden of re sponsibility for Mrs. WoodilVs death. Nothing Is known here of the alleged discovery of a partly burned note which Is said to have warned Eastman that his presence in Baltimore last Tuesday was known to the police. This note has given the theory that flight was necessary for Eastman, and that he planned to have Mis. Woodlll elope with him. ANTI-HAY FORCES TIRED (Continued From First Pase.) tinning the Investigation In some form, met this afternoon but failed to come to an agreement.

The Governor's friends ap parently have so strong a hold In the House that his opponents cannot hope to do much. The administration House faction caucused today for the purpose of framing a better organization and expect to control the situation in the lower branch on matters of importance, The impeachment rules adopted In the ; Senate are looked upon as fair bv both sides and talk of superseding Ruth as presiding officer during the trial has practically died out. The fact that a majority vote will overrule a decision or the chair relieved Ruth's opponents of any argument in favor of such a move. Senator Ruth said tonight that during the impeachment trial, when legal points are under discussion, he will probably call some one of the lawyer Senators to the chair. v.T,e us" nur.it tee which is drafting the articles of impeachment worked until a late hour tonight, but there Is slight prospect of their having the charges ready to submit to the House before "Wednesday. The practicability of secur ing witnesses to substantiate each charge Is being carefully considered and cannot bo determined off-hand. The members of the oommttee have practically decided to incorporate in the charges the perjury in dictment found against Schively in Spo kane In connection with his testimony be fore the grand jury concerning his con trol of the defunct Pacific Livestock Asso ciation. The grand Jury charge of em bezzling the funds of that company is also likely to be incorporated In the Im peachment articles. The fight is still on to secure the consid eration of general legislation. An agree ment pledging the signers to take up the commercial waterways bill desired in Seattle to aid In the construction of the Duwamish waterway is in circulation, but has not secured majorities in either house. The rumor was circulated today that Schively was contemplating resigning. Mr. Schively emphatically denied the re port this evening. TRIAL RULES ARE ADOPTED Olympia Solons Will Follow Prece dent Set at Washington. OLYMPIA, Wash., June 2S. (Special.) Both houses of the Legislature convened this afternoon, after the week-end ad journment, and found nothing to do pend ing the receipt by the House of the com mittee report of articles of impeachment against J. H. Schively, Insurance Commissioner. This committee had not even been named, hut its personnel was announced by Speaker Meigs, and both houses adjourned early until tomorrow, after transacting a small amount of routine business. The committee that will formulate the impeachment articles will not act as the prosecutors in the Senate. Reference to procedure In other states and In Congress rev.eals that It Is the practice to name two committees. The men who will draw up the articles are: Sparks of Clark, Lambert of Whatcom. Hubble of ivittitas. Scott of Adams, Whalley of King, and Edge and Buchanan of Spokane. Rales of Procedure Adopted. The Senate adopted rules of proced ure as reported by the Senate Judiciary committee. These rules are those adopt ed from the standing ruling of the United States Senate In impeachment trials, hav ing been somewhat simplified and made to conform with the ashington state constitution. According to these rules the presiding officer will announce his de cisions in admission of evidence without debate unless the doors are closed for deliberation. In the latter event each member may speak but once td the ques tion, and the time is limited to 10 minutes for each speaker on interlocutory ques tions and to 16 on final questions. One-fifth of the members may appeal from the ruling of the chair and a ma jority may overrule. Final Argument Is Limited. But one person on each side will be permitted to question a witness and the Senators" will not be permitted to pro pound questions, but may send writttcn questions to the presiding officer. The final argument will he limited to two speakers in each house opening and closing the argument. The rules were adopted in the Senate without opposition. There were seven bills, new bills, on the Clerk's desk in the Senate and adjournment was taken In the middle of introduction and first reading of bills in order to shut oft as many as possible. Three got in. They were Rydstrom's new game bill, one by Stevenson, making sight drafts incon testable, and another by Stevenson re pealing the State Historical build ing apropriatlon of $25,000. Plan for Holding Court. The four remaining on the Clerk's desk appropriate $8000 for aditional land for the asylum . for the feeble minded, repealing the 'material men's lien law of 1909, requiring County Aud itors to issue the warrants of county school districts, and repealing the 1909 law permitting Superior Courts to sit in places other than the county seat. The House passed the Senate bill ap propriating $427 to pay the expenses of Governor Cosgrove's funeral, and a House resolution permitting the A-T-P Commission to pay from Its appro priation the cost of social functions tendered other commissions. Two new drainage bills by Cline, of Takima. and Thayer, of Stevens, were introduced. FALLING TREE KILLS MAN A. Jacobson, Finlander, Meets Death Near Hood River. HOOD RIVER, Or., June 28. (Spe cial.)

AFTER DAY OF RIOTING Mob Beats Detectives and Holds Them Over Bridge With Threat or Death Tracks Blocked by Rioters. PITTSBURG, June 28. Settlement of the Pittsburg traction strike was made to night. The cars will be put in operation at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. The agreement was made at a conference of the union men and streetcar company offi cials tonight in Mayor Magee's office. The strike, it developed tonight, was the outcome of but two points of difference. One was the alleged neglect of the power company to shorten "swing runs," and the other its refusal to reinstate dis charged men without proper hearing. Mayor Drags Them Together. All day Mayor Magee made vain efforts to bring the two factions together. At 6 o'clock tonight no amicable adjustment of the differences seemed in sight. The Mayor, however, did not give up, and asked both factions to attend a confer ence at his office at 9 o'clock. When he got them together again, the Mayor said the residents of Pittsburg would tolerate neither rioting nor prolonged traffic dis turbances. It was only after the Mayor had made his sentiments extremely plain that the company and the men reached an agreement. An agreement, allowing discharged men proper hearings before superintendents and giving the assurance of the company that the secretary will shorten "swing runs" 50 per cent, was drawn up and signed. There will be no ratification meet ing of the men. Riots broke out in more than one car barn during the day. At two places shots were exchanged between the police and strike sympathizers. No one was wounded. Death Threatens Detective. Company detectives narrowly missed death, however, when a crowd around the Rankin-street carbarns attacked 14 nonunion workmen. The detectives at tempted to pacify the fighting men. The crowd then attacked the detectives. After beating the detectives unmercifully the mob dragged them to a high bridge near the carbarns and threatened to throw them over the railing unless they prom ised to keep out of the clashes between the strikebreakers and the friends of the strikers. Rioting broke out in the downtown sec tion early in the afternoon. A mob around the Herron Hill carbarns placed obstructions on the cartracks. The police dispersed the rioters and removed the tim bers from the tracks. Not a car was In operation today with the exception of a United States mail special. The entire police force of Greater Pitts burg was held in reserve at its pre cinct stations. Queer equipages hauled the office em ployes of down-town Pittsburg to work today. Many large concerns engaged rooms for their clerical forces at down town hotels. Many amusing Incidents marked the firat day of the traffic tieup. Members of an orchestra, the drum, bass violin and small instruments lying beside them. were found asleep on an East End lawn early yesterday morning. They had played at a dance, and, finding they would be forced to walk, took an alter native and lay down to rest on the grass, camping out until morning. Lone Horsecar Driver Quits. There was one phase of the strike Which amused even the officials of the Pittsburg Railway, when word was re ceived that the horsecar line in Sarah street was also tied up. The driver had struck in sympathy with the union men. It is conservatively estimated that the Union Traction in a single day's opera tions in the Greater (Jity and environs takes 3SC0.000 In 5-cent fares, in addition to carrying freight. Strikebreakers From Ohio. CINCINNATI, June 26. About 200 men will be sent to Pittsburg from Cincinnati to take the places of streetcar employes here who have gone on strike. SUNDAY LAW iS FOUGHT ASTORIA DEFENDANTS PUT LP NEW DEFENSE. Argue That Territorial Statute Was Repealed by Act' of 1889, Hence Not Operative. ASTORIA, Or., June 28. (Special.) On the convening of court today the grand Jury returned eight indictments and one not true bill, the latter being the case of B. K. Long, who was charged with the larceny of a watch irom P. G. Smith. Oscar Rentzsch and Charles Wise, who were indicted on two charges each tor selling liquor on Sunday, were ar raigned and their attorneys. C. J. Curtis ana G. C Fulton, filed demurrers, which will be argued later. The demurrers ask that the indictments be dismissed on the ground that there Is no state law against the selling of liquor on Sun days. The defense contends that the law under which the Indictments were found was passed by the Territorial Legislature of 1854, and that it was repealed by the act of 18S9. Jacob Carstens and Samuel Kroeger, two gillnetters, were indicted under charges of illegal fishing. They -were caught Sunday evening with their nets in the water 20 minutes before 6 o'clock. They pleaded guilty and were fined $50 and costs each. In pronouncing sen tence in these cases the court said that" when one fisherman goes fishing ahead of the time fixed by law another will want to begin a little earlier, and the final result will be that the law will be openly violated. He said the law Is there to be obeyed by all alike, and while he imposed the minimum fine this time, he was not dis posed to look with leniency on cases where the law is transgressed merely for gain. He added that catching fish out of season is a great deal like hold ing a man up and taking his money from him.
