SAVE BLAKESLEY
Man Known to Have Blocked
Other State Cases Is Ac
cepted as Juror.
STATE MAY DROP CASE
District Attorney Passes Lie in Clos
ing Argument State. After Indict
ing Convict, Calls Him Myth.
Blackmail Trial Ended.
(Continued From First XJmr. )
Qulrlc for you." Prescott testified he re
plied. il!p It to me," ai Blakesley's re
sponse, said Prescott.
"I will, lika hell," whs Prescott's re
ported reply, closing the Interview.
This was the first direct evidence be
yond handwriting testimony to connect
Blakesley with the alleged blnckmail
plot, and In the arguments which fol
lowed was kept constantly before the
jury, both prosecutors interspersing their
i!t clam.-tlons with "slip it to me."
W. I-omcroy, foirrer grand jury
foreman, the last witness for the state,
its called to prove Jack McCarthy,
Bi.ikesiey s alleged confederate, a "bogie
man." a "figment of imagination." as he
was termed by the prosecution. Fomeroy
testified that Blakerfey in the grand jury
room paid , he would not have been able
to find McCarthy even If he had obtained
$: from Treasurer Quick.
At this Juncture only a motion delaj-ed
the n.oxt dramatic scene of the four days'
tr;al. Attorney Haney. for the defense,
requested that the letter basing the al
leged extortion charge be withdrawn as
insufficient evidence, the subsequent mo
tion being that the court direct the jury
to return a not-guilty verdict. The mo
tion was overruled.
Then came "Toots" Blakesley's sigh,
silence accompanying the submission of
instructions for the Jury to Judge Eakin,
and the closing argument were on.
Barley Starts Fireworks.
Attorney George Bagley, assistant
prosecutor for County Treasurer Quick,
opened the argument for the state,
his statements in particular causing a
sharp attack on the prosecution by the
defense as the arguments progressed.
"There are a great many points In
the case which the state will not dis
cuss." said Attorney Bagley 'In a low
tone after a shrill denunciation of the
defense in general and reference, to the
"action" of "Toots' Blakesley in court.
Then rose Attorney John H. Steven
son, of Portland, for the defense. At
torney Stevenson held the Jury spell
bound. Each of me talesmen craned
his neck and followed every movement
of the barrister with his eyes, for
Stevenson seemed to ha-vs hit a popular
chord.
"Hide somebody, put the spotlight on
Blakesley. not on others, is the aim
of the state In this case," said the
lawyer.
"Anybody knows there is someone
else in this case, that there was a
conspiracy."
Here District Attorney Tongue ob
jected, and the Portland attorney turned
bis attention to Quick, terming the
County Treasurer the Sphynx who told
only what be wanted to tell, not
vouchsafing any testimony on the dia
mond drills referred to la the alleged
extortionate letter or half of the spoils
the message said he was to get.
Other Reputations at Stake.
"E. E. Quick Is on trial here as well
s Elakesely." continued the lawyer.
"Why convict Blakesley and let his
partner go. And Prescott, the man wltu
political ambitions who admitted fath
ering a 'phony' petition for a liquor li
cense his skirts are scorched the same
as Quick's. Mr. Bagley referred to
Quick's fallings. One of his failings
was that he got off the stand without
telling all the truth."
Attorney Stevenson then subjected the
handwriting experts to a fiery flow of
denunciation, saying they were simply
witnesses, prompted to interest them
selves in the case by the allurement of
big fees, u the defense, said the law
yer, had the wealth of Columbia County
behind It as had the state. It, too, could
have summoned them.
Citing .It as proof that the .testimony
of experts in chirography is of little mo
ment. S. A. D. Puter's book on land
frauds as shattering similar testimony
was referred to by the attorney. Puter,
he said, after he "got good" said the
expert penmen who testified In the Uni
ted States Court were all wrong. Emma
Watson, he said, was credited with
hooks and curves made by Marie Ware
and Horace MeKlnley was blamed for
pen strokes made by either of the wo
men. "Toots" Blakesley. 32, If a day. and
weighing more than 200 pounds, was re
ferred to frequently by Attorney Steven
son as "boy." "poor boy," "poor old
Toots," and once as "Toots." a harmless
pensioner, who borrowed much, is not
gifted in abilities, is harmless though
not much good."
Defense Finds Flaws.
Attorney Franey following his col
league also seized upon the statement of
the prosecution that there were a great
many features In the case which it
would not discuss. He hinted that the
state was in fear of something and by
its acts left a doubt as to whether
others besides Blakesley were guilty or
not guilty.
"By the state's refusal to discuss these
features." said Attorney Haney. "St.
Helens will not know. Columbia County
will not know, the state will not know."
Attorney Haney then took the Jurors
step by step over the entire case hardly
raising his voice over the ordinary
speaking tone. He assailed the indict
ment particularly as insufficient and in
turned whacked the handwriting experts
as a force that testified because of fee
Inducement. Hardly had Attorney Haney closed with
Thank vou for your attention, gentle
men." when District Attorney Tongue
was on his feet and. in sonorous tones
tal made the windows rattle, denounced
the defense1 as unfair and Insinuating.
Then, in still louder voice, he upbraided
the defense for not bringing out the very
testimony It accused the state of conceal
ing. .
"If the defense says there Is a con
spiracy or plot In this case' he actually
jelled. "I stsmp it as a lte."
"I cast back the word." said Attorney
Stevenson.
Here District Attorney Tongues defl
to the Portland attorneys to produce their
proof of concealed evidence and con
spiracy was uttered.
District Attorney Tongue, after a re
cess for dinner, dropped from the high
est" tones he could force to a voice tiny
enough to be almost a whisper, and con
t.nued with that quietness to the end of
h s argument.
Prior to the issuance of Instructions by
Judge Eakin, the eviderce ",;r
day by Tom. Word, ex-BheruX oX Mult
nomah County, and the testimony of T
Grafton, Jailer under Word, was stricken
out. The evidence concerned Jack Mc
Carthy, ex-convict. Blakesley's allege!
confederate, and was allowed simply as
a preliminary examination, to be retained
if found material and rejected if not prov
ing a natural sequence of the ease on
trial.
Peculiar In the proceedings of today
was the efforts of the state by testimony
and in argument to prove Jack McCarty
a myth, a "bogie" man, a blind. Jack
MeCartv was indicted with "Toots"
Blakesley. an action by the state, and
one of the early steps by the prosecution
in the trial was to prove McCarty actual--4,An.A
oni the nrima mover of
the whole alleged blackmail scheme to
mulct County ireasiuer
court's ruling of today cutting Tom
Word's testimony off abruptly, as far as
the prosecution was concerned, expunged
McCarty from the state's plan of prose
cution. No matter what the result of the jury s
deliberations in the alleged blackmail
case. "Toots" Blakesley's power as the
county vote-getter for F.epublican candi
dates is broken. For 12 years he named
tickets and saw few fail. But since his
trial falling off of his political prestige

COOS BAY HIS FLIT

Recommendations of Government
Engineers Disappoint Business
Men of Southern Port.
MARSHTIELD. Or.. Oct. 22. (Special.)
For the purpose of taking action re
rarrilnr the Government work on the
Coos Bay bar, a meeting of business men
and members of the commercial bodies
.-a- hoi.i this afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce. There has been a feeling
of dissatisfaction regarding the recpm-
mendation of the Government engineers
for Improvement of1 the 'bar.
The engineers recommended first that
Congress, appropriate J5X1,000 for an ocean
going dredge to clear the sand from the
bar, and an annual appropriation or
it. maintenance- As an alternative
in case the dredging la not successful, it
is recommended that there be an ap
propriation of something ' over i:,ww.uoo
for jetty Improvement.
Dr.- J. T. McCormack, chairman of the
meeting, presented the situation and ex-
i i tti, noni Ho not want the
bar dredged, because the sand will fill
up as quickly! as it Is removed, but they
do want the Jetty Improved, believing it
Is the only way to mane aether
the bar. . -t
Some speakers thought that if the
dredge appropriation was ofljected to,
the Government might give nothing at
all, as Congress, would not change from
the engineers' recommendations. Others
.ki.hi that thn best nlnn would be to
go before the rivers and harbors com
mittee of Congress with a aeiegaiion aim
ask that Jetty work Instead of bar dredg
ing be done.
Some suggested that if the help of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce was
asked it would help-. Various means of
getting the kind of appropriation desired
ware discussed, and It was. finally de
cided to appoint a committee of five to
confer next Wednesday night with the
Port of Coos Bay Commission and
through that body bring to bear some
pressure for a change in the arrangement
as now outlined by the engineers.

PT OEORflE PALMER Pl'TKAM.
PRINEVILLE, Or., Oct. 22. (Special.)
If there were nothing else to do
Who would not be a buckeroo?
Assuredly no one. At least not on bron
cho day at Crook County's big Fair at
Prineville, when the feature of features is
the wild horse race, and the man with the
"chaps" and spurs holds undisputed cen
ter of the stage. Scientific track racing,
stock Judging and even the Bend band,
official music-makers at the county Beat,
are superseded in popular interest by this
exhibition of horsemanship as it prospered
In the dnys of the open ranges, long be
fore Crook County prohibition and Cen
tral Oregon railroads were dreamed of.
Each of the contestants led his broncho
an hitherto unrldden animal, out upon
the track In front of the crowded grand
stand. After sundry wild rushes, tangles
and dust-throwing, tho prospective riders,
aided by the one assistant thfe manage
ment allowed them, got their "horses"
down, '.'hog-tied" and saddled. Then, at
a word from the judges the trouble be
gan and the rearing, bucking brutes ca
vorted madly in every direction except the
one desired, with their riders in vast un
concern, keeping the closest sort of con
nection with their saddles and in the
meantime spurring and quirting vigorous
ly whenever their mounts seemed inclined
to quiet down. And always the crowd,
for the most part good riders and good
judges themselves, applauded, bantered
and criticised i the "buckeroos" with
whole-souled lack of reserve.
"Scratch the little devil, give him the
quirt there, you with the hat!" "Say,
that's the stuff for me; Just notice the
kid, riding slick (without tied stirrups)
and giving tho bronc all that's coming
to him!"
And in the meantime, the "bad" horses
had been forced around the track, always
"pitching" and, for the most part, going
sidevusa far more than in the way nature
Intended them to progress. Despite the
praiseworthy attempts of the bronchos to
rid themselves of their riders, not a fall
occurred, and every contestant went "un
der the wire" without serious mishap.
Lloyd Taney, a local "buckeroo," was
declared the winner of the $100 purse, with
Melvin Crane, another. Prinevlller. as
taker of the second money. The decision,
by the way, was based upon the horse
manship displayed throughout the con
test, and not necessarily upon the actual
winning of the race.
In the morning, preceding the broncho
race, occurred the judging of horses. In
the Clyde stallion class, McGregor got
the blue ribbon, with Caesar first in the
Belgians, and President Deliroux second,
the latter being a trophy winner at sev
eral state fairs. The exhibit of blooded
horses is said to be the finest yet seen
In Central Oregon, and well illustrates
the ever-growing Interest taken by the
ranchers and range-owners In breeding
a better class of animals. During the last
season alone several imported stallions
of high pedigree have been brought to the
county.
The first of the afternoon races, of three
furlongs, with a purse of $10), went to
"Brandy," who is probably the most pop
ular horse In the meet. Tho six-furlong
race was won hy "Confederate," who
took it handily from "Yankee Boy," al
though considerable money had been put
on the latter against the field. With the
last race went a purse of $200.

line is advocated by those who want to
use the present system, repaired and Im
proved with a concrete or vitrified pipe
in the mountains, while the "lower" line
is supported by those who want a differ
ent route from the mountains to the res

the distance is shorter, that a better
grade is to be found and that use of a
syphon, which is necessary on the upper
line, can be dispensed with. They also
claim that the cost of construction will
be cheaper.
Some of these contentions are denied by
those opposing the lower line, and as a
result Mayor Pollman. has deposited a
