"One day after that, when we were on

didn't wait for Mrs. Glllara to empty the

' found she had drank carbolic acid. The
first time I knew Mr. Hallack had ac
cused me of poisoning the babies was
when I read It in the newspapers. It
sounded to me as though my husband ac
cused me of murdering my children, and
'I didn't want to face anybody, because I
thought they would turn me down."
Asked If she ever slapped her husband.
Mrs. Hallack aid she did, because he
was tantalizing her. "He had his arms

love you.'." said Mrs. Hallack.

often."' continued the witness, "when he
made me mail. He went to a pleasure
resort one day. and wouldn't let me go,
saying decent women didn't go there. He
used to swear at me, but he swore under
his breath. When I swore, I swore loudly,
because I didn't care if the neighbors did
hear. . M,
Mm. Hallack denied her husbands
charge that she once threatened to throw
one of the children out of the window. "I
loved my babies.' she said. "But even If
I didn't. I could have given them away; I
had no reason to try to kill them." She
accused her husband of drinking beer with
Mrs. Minnie Sherwood, landlady at 297H
Jeffenson street, where the Hal lacks were
living at one time.
The witness eald her husband promised,
aft-r the filing of the divorce suit, to
withdraw the case and take his wife back.
She said she promised to help him out of
debt, and to forget the past. But he
failed to dismiss the suit. .
Hallack. who took the witness stand
yesterday morning, did not accuse his wife
of deliberately murdering her children, but
said one of his friends told him while
Chester was slowly wasting away, after
drinking the lye, that she had said:
Thank the Lord. It will not be many
more months before he Is In his grave."
He said he reproved his wife for spank
ing the baby hard, and that she broke a
broomstick: In three pieces over his head,
ghe said, on the other hand, that he
spanked the baby with a stick of kindling
wood, and at another time with a razor
strop. Hallack said he protested against
giving Chester wine, hot that the relatives

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
GREEX ESTATE GROWS BEYOND
ITS APPRAISED VALUE.
Executor's Report Indicates That
Reyennes Have Added More Than
Half-Million In Past 12 Tears.
In the last It years the estate of
John Green has yielded more in revenue
than its appraised value, $549,000. be
ing of greatly increased worth today.
The executors now have J26.000 on hand
for distribution, according to the peti
tion of B. G. Whitehouse, one of the
executors, which was filed in the County
Court yesterday.
The original executors of the estate
were Whitehouse. C J. Reed and D. P.
Thompson. The latter died about eight
years ago, since which time no one has
been appointed to take his place, leav
ing Whitehouse and Reed to manage
the estate's affairs. They have not al
ways agreed upon the proper distribu
tion of funds. At present Reed is de
sirous that a partial distribution of the
S26.000 on hand be made, while White
house wants the entire amount dis
bursed and the estate closed up. as he
says all claims have now been settled.
His petition, filed yesterday, was to
bring this about.
He says that the will provided for the
distribution of the property into 23 1-3
shares, which was done. The compli
cated money matters have now been
disentangled, he says. Whitehouse re
cites that more than a year ago 20 of
the Green heirs sent the executors a
request for speedy final settlement, ana
said that "the long delay in making
such settlement has already deprived
some of the beneficiaries under the will
of the enjoyment of the benefits the
testator Intended them to receive, and
further delay is likely to lessen the
number of the original beneficiaries liv
ing at the date of final distribution."
Disclaim Knowledge of Feeder.
Operations by surveying parties along
the White Salmon River have given rise
to reports that the North Bank road is
preparing to extend a feeder northward
into Washington. At the local offices
of the road knowledge of these parties
is disclaimed and it is stated that if the
railroad Is surveying for "such an ex
tension the orders have come from the
East. It Is suggested that the work Is
nroiected by some of the large timber
-owners of that section and that the
building of a logging road is the inten

CITY TO BE STUDIED
Civic Institute Outlines Sub
jects for Discussion.
SURVEY HAS WIDE SCOPE
Topics Announced for Gathering's to
Begin November 8 Cover Many
Fields of General
Interest.
Preparations are practically com
pleted for the Civic Institute, or "Know
Your City" school, which Is to be held
In the new T. M. C. A. Auditorium dur
ing the two middle weeks of Novem
ber. Miss Anna ' Louise Strong, the
organizer of the movement, Is meeting
with very great encouragement, both
from city officials and from prominent
Individuals Interested in civic welfare.
This Is to be the most comprehensive
survey of the city's activities that Port
land people ever had an opportunity to
take part In. So much interest has been
aroused In the plan that many persons
Intend to come to Portland from near
by towns for the purpose of attending
the entire course. In order to make a
thorough study of the activities of a
modern city, with Portland for an ex
ample. Requests for programmes have
come from representatives of civic
clubs in Salem, Hood River. La Grande
and Newberg. The course of study
embraces every department of city life,
each department being presented by
prominent workers In that particular
activity.
"We should know our city before we
attempt to criticise or Improve It,"
said Miss Strong. "That is the princi
ple on which this Institute Is based,
the programme will consist of lectures,
dlscuslons and visits to different points
of Interest. When possible the visit
will occur on the same day as the lec
ture devoted to the Institution in ques
tion, but on some days this Is Impos
sible. For instance, we shall have to
postpone our visit to the City Council
to Wednesday morning, while the day
on which city government is discussed
will come at the beginning of the
week.
Will Present Both Sides.
"On each day there will be three or
four speakers who will make addresses
of about 20 minutes each, to be followed
by discussion. Whenever there are two
sides to a question, we have endeavored
to have both represented. The whole
programme is Intended to be as well
balanced and non-pavtisan as it is pos
sible to make it, and to insure this the
freest discussion will be encouraged
on all points."
Local citizens have displayed great
Interest In the plans for the Institute.
"I am particularly Interested in the
day devoted to city plans," said Joseph
Teal, "and I will do all In my power
for the success of that day. We need
go no farther than our own city to ob
serve the great need for some compre
hensive city plan In order to have a
well laid out, convenient and beauti
ful city. Streets and transportation
problems and park plans are but a few
of the subjects which might be con
sidered under the head of a city plan,
but they are Important ones. I should
be glad to see enough Interest aroused
on this subject to warrant sending for
an architect to lay out the city as is
being done in some Eastern cities with
great success."
The programme for the institute Is
practically completed and Is as follows:
