Spokane Handwriting Slenth In
tpecte and Measures Signatures
In Conrt and Makes Sensa
tional Charges.
PEXDLETOX, Or.. July 9. (Special.)
Characterizing as a forgery a will
that for three years has been conceded
to be genuine, an.i declaring that sev
eral letters purporting to have been
written by the late James Y. Young
were forged by lr. F V. Watts, of
Dent. Idaho. E. H. Thompson, a hand
writing expert of Spokane, sprang still
another sensation In a will contest that
has become famous for the number of
charges and coumer-ohargei of forgery
and deceit.
The will which Thompson says has
the forged signature of Young attached
bear the date of September 3, 1891.
and It purports to give the bulk of the
Young estate to Mrs. Nora Watts, niece
of the deceased and wife of the man
accused of forging the letters which
were Introduced as evidence recently
to show the kindly feeling Young en
tertained toward his niece and the re
mainder of hU heirs, with the excep
tion of Mabel Warner.
Expert Sure of Forgery.
The expert declared the forgery of
Toungs signature had been made by a
tracing and Insisted that every test
which an expert would apply to the
signature must show It to be a forgery.
With a small magnifying glass he
pointed out to the court the two colors
of Ink which had been used, main
taining that the signature had first
been traced with blue Ink and then
copied over with black.
The tracing was such a bungling Job
and the blurs of an attempted erasure
bo evident that the attorneys for the
contesting heirs Immediately declared
that the will had been tampered with
while In the possession of Mrs. War
ner, her attorney, or the experts, who
had been given permission by Judge
Gilliland to remove the document from
the courtroom for examination. Dis
trict Attorney Phelps, who Is a member
of counsel for the contestants, declared
that some one would be held responsi
ble for the alleged tampering.
Two Sets of Letters.
The letters which the expert picked
out aa forgeries are all written with an
indelible pencil, while those he admitted
were genuine were written In ink. While
he did not go Into details, but merely
pointed out that the general appearance
of epistles were different, he did take
fome notes written on a scratch pad by
Dr. Watts, while In the courtroom, and
analyzing every letter and every word,
declared that the hand that wrote the
notes forged the letters.
Taking up the so-called fourth will.
Thompson declared that the signature to
It, as well as the famous letter of denun
ciation and the memorandum of contract,
were all genuine. These had been pro
nounced forgeries by W. W. Williams and
A. A. Alblan. of Portland, on the ground
that they were all exactly alike and
therefore could not have been written by
one man. Thompson undertook to show
that the measurements made by the
Portland experts were wrong and then
went on to make measurements in court
which apparently showed that there were
elifrht differences In the signatures.
Thompson was considerably harassed
during the course of his narrative by the
opposing counsel, but he was not sub
jected to any cross-examination. He was
rebuked several times for a tendency to
argue to the court.
Another expert goes on the stand to
morrow. FIGHT OVER BURIAL DUTY

BORE FOR OIL ON COOS BAY
Prospectors Are Securing Options
on All Available Land.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. July 9. (Special.)
Boring for oil which has at different
times been found in the vicinity of Coos
Bay, la to be carried on here on a large
scale. Outside men are securing options
on the oil rights of all of the available
tracts of land around Coos Bay. The
options are made to J. F. Mundy and the
business is now being carried on by J. S.
IMller and Mr. Andrews, who have been
In the city for several weeks.
Local capital Is not asked for, but the
men Interested are endeavoring to secure
options on as much oil lands as possible,
They have recently been boring in Dou
glas County, near Roseburg, where their
machinery is now located and are pre
pared to sink shafts to a depth of 6000
feet.
That oil exists In many localities around
Ooos Bay there Is no doubt, toot It re
mains to be seen whether it la here in
commercial quantities.
TAKE COOS TRADE SOUTH?
Harrlman Agents Buying Bight of
Way Along Oregon Coast.
MARSHFTEXLD, Or., July 9. (Special.
It Is known hex that- tbe. Southern Pa-
ciflc is paying for rights of way for a
Coast line on which options were previous
ly secured. When active work on the
branch from Drain was started about
three years ago the railroad company
took option on land for a right of way
1X feet wide from Drain Into Coos Bay
and down the Coast. Recently represent
atives of the company have been in the
neighborhood of Trinidad, Cal., working
xp the Coast and are buying and paying
for the right of way land on which the
options were taken. That this is being
done gives encouragement locally that
perhaps the Southern Pacific means to
take some action soon in the building of
the Drain and Coast line.
The railroad company is having a large
amount of cement which was stored for
construction work near Gardiner moved
away. It has been stored for over two
years and some of the cement is spoiled
and must be used at once or wasted.
Therefore, tho fact that the material is
being used is not taken as an indication
that the company has abandoned work.
The steam schooner Wilhelmina has the
contract for moving 20.000 barrels of ce
ment from Gardiner to Coos Bay, where
it is transferred for shipment to San
Francisco. It Is being used by the South
ern Pacific for construction work in Cali

KLAMATH FALTS HOPES TO SEE
HIM AT PEHCAX BAY.
Railroad Magnate Welcome Guest in
Southern Oregon Where He Is
Private Landowner.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., July 9. (Spe
cial.) It Is believed here that E. H.
Harrlman will return to his Klamath
County resort to spend the latter portion
of the Summer, in fulfillment of the condi
tions laid down by his attending phy
sicians abroad for the restoration of his
health and prevention of farther progress
of the paralytic affection of his legs.
Colonel W. H. Holablrd, personal repre
sentative of the wizard of the Pacifies,
is spending a few days at Pelican Bay
Lodge, whither he was accompanied from
Klamath Falls by a contractor who, tt is
believed, is to make important changes
In the location of buildings, and possibly
clear the ground where the original lodge
sfands to make way for a. new and
commodious modern building.
This phase of the Illness of Mr. Harrl
man deeply interests the people of
Klamath, for the railroad president has
a pleasing personality and although his
periods of recreation at Pelican Bay
Lodge have not been longer than a few
weeks, and at intervals of a year or
more, many local people regard him as an
excellent member of the community, and
a most distinguished landholder of this
county.
When here last Fall. Mr. Harrlman
stated that In all probability business
would require his presence abroad this
year and that he would not be able
to visit Klamath for very long. If at all,
but the matter of health may suggest
thai he return here instead of remain
ing across the Atlantic There Is no
where that his coming would be accord
ed a warmer welcome than In Klamath
County, and the wish is general that he
may come to Pelican Bay for a prolonged
stay.
Merely Beat Woman Brutally.
STEVENSON. Wash.. July 8; To the
Editor.) Recent issues of The Ore
gonian and other Portland papers have
contained sensational accounts of an
alleged brutal assault committed by
John Donavan, a farm hand employed
Dy a Mrs. .Fields near Stevenson, In
which It was stated that Donavan had
attacked Mrs. Fields with a gun and
nearly killed her. and The Oregonian
stated in this morning's issue that
Donavan acknowledged the deed and
that he was given a very light Jail
sentence and fine in order to make
possible the prosecution of a saloon
man who sold him liquor in violation
of the Sunday closing law.
The facts are that the assault was
not with a gun, but with his hands, and
that Mrs. Fields was not seriously in
jured, and that she desired that a
light sentence be Imposed because
Donavan was so Intoxicated at the
time he struck her that he did not
know what he was doing.
In Justice to the parties concerned, I
request that this correction be pub
lished. GEORGE E. O'BETON,

SAYS LAW IS INVALID
Washington Anti - Cigarette
Campaign Given Blow.
ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Clifford, of Pierce County,
Holds Statute In Conflict With
Interstate Commerce
Measures.
TACOMA, July 9. (Special.) In passing
upon the case brought before him to test
the recently enacted anti-cigarette law.
Judge Clifford, of the Superior Court, to
day ruled the law at variance with the
Interstate commerce act, and denied Its
constitutionality.
Judge Clifford', in his decision, said: "I
am forced to tho conviction that the sec
tion of the statute which in the broadest
terms makes it a misdemeanor to have
in possession cigarettes is in violation of
the Interstate commerce clause of the
Federal Constitution. It Is conceded that
cigarettes are articles of interstate com
merce. The sale of an article of inter
state commerce may be regulated by a
state in the exercise of police powers, but
no state may, under the guise of regula
tion, prohibit the use within Its borders
of any recognized article of interstate
commerce. If It is unlawful for any citi
zen of the state to have a cigarette in his
possession, tho practical result is inevit
ably the prohibition of the use of. or any
commerce in cigarettes within the state.
"Any act of the Legislature that accom
plishes this result, whether so Intended
or not. is legislation prohibited to the
state by the Federal Constitution."
Unless the Supreme Court reverses the
decision of Judge Clifford, or the Legisla
ture at its special session in August en
acts a new law, the bars will he down to
the cigarette traffic in Tacoma and Pierce
County.
Following the announcement of the de
cision. Prosecuting Attorney McMurray
said that pending an appeal to the Su
preme Court, there would be no further
prosecutions for cigarette smoking. He
declined to say, however, what his atti
tude would be toward the sale of ciga
rettes, there being some doubt as to the
effect of the decision on that question.
Attorney Neal. who handled the test
case for the cigarette smokers, believes
mat the old law against the sale of ciga
rettes having been repealed by the crimi
nal code, the trade may now be carried
on with impunity.
1 he statute declared ' unconstitutional
contains provisions against both the pos
session and sale of cigarettes, and while
our cases were argued only on the pos
session or smoking clause, still, the whole
statute has been declared unconstitu
tional. "
LAW JARRED IN ABERDEEN
County Court There Decides Ciga
rettes May Be Smoked at 'Will.
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Julv 9. (Sn.
cial.) Cigarettes may be smoked, but
neitner cigarettes nor "the makings
can be sold by dealers In this county.
according to a decision handed down
today by Judge Ben Sheeks, in the test
case brought bv W. R. Mai-Trinno.
MaoFarlane was arrested and fined J5
ana costs for smoking cigarettes "in a
public place." The state announces an
appeal to the Supreme Court from the
decision.
Judge Sheeks did not go into the
matter of the constitutionality of the
provisions, or the subject that the law
infringes on the personal liberty of cit
izens, though argument on that ground
was made by Thomas M. Vance, of
Olympla, and J. H. Esterday, of Ta
coma, attorneys for MacFarlane. He
hinged his opinion on the amended
complaint, in which MacFarlane was
accused of smoking cigarettes and hav
ing cigarettes "In his possession." The
court holds that the Legislature did not
intend to prohibit the possession of
cigarettes where such were had for
personal use.
The court thought, however, that the
law was designed to prohibit the gen
eral sale of cigarettes. The opinion is
confined strictly to the wording of the
statute, Cty Attorney Wade, who,
with County Prosecuting Attorney
Campbell, represented the city and
state in the case, states that he will
favor no further arrests under the
smoking section of the law until the
Supreme Court acts.

Professor C. I. Lewis, of Oregon Agri
cultural College, delivered an address on
"Some Phases of Pollination." He said
the' college has been engaged in exten
slve experiments to determine which
varieties of apples are the best for Oregon
growers to cultivate. He said that the
experiments so far tended to show that
self-pollination of the apple in Oregon is
the exoeptlon and not the rule. The
speaker suggested the wisdom of keeping
bees in the orchards. He said that he
would not plant apple trees in large
blocks of one variety, but would plan
a few rows of one variety and a few of
another to get the benefit of cross-pollina
tion.
The chair appointed L. T. Reynolds and
H. B. Thielsen, of Salem; El H. Shepard,

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man can be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its cssociated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man ' doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
ent, he is losing the nutrition needed to make' strength.
Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It cares diseases of the stomach and other'
