I'olson Caused Convulsions. In reply to hypothetical questions re garding the convulsions of Colonel Thomas 11.. Clirisman and Margaret Swope, Dr. A'auglin said in his opinion they had been -aised by the administration of some con vulsive poison. Cyanide or strychnine would produce such symptoms, said the witness. Judging from his investigation of the Hagedies. said Dr. Vaughn, he did not believe Colonel Swope died of apoplexy or uraemic poisoning, or Chrisman Swope f mm meningitis. When on the stand Dr. Vaughn pro cured what purported to be strychnia taken from the liver of Colonel Swope. Attorney Reed help up the exhibit and announced what the scientist asserted it was.

Attorneys for Dr. Hyde made strenuous objection to this, but were overruled. There was probably l-200th of a grain of the drug in the case, said the expert. One-half a grain, he testified, would kill a person. Strychnia when administered with cyan ide, said Dr. Vaughn, would have a ten dency to prolong life. Red "spots such as are said to have appeared on the limbs of Colonel Swope following his convul sions, might indicate cyanide poisoning, the physician testified. : Dr. Haines, was the only witness be side Dr. Vaughn today. He said the traces of. strychnia he said he found in tiie bodies he examined referred to par ticles of drug of less than l-240th of a grain. Stolen Notes CHtise Clash. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. May 3.

Shortly prior to the noon recess, in the course of a legal argument, Mr. Conkling made .reference 'to the "stolen grand Jury notes." Spring ing to his feet, Mr. Walsh pounded a table with his fist and shouted: "Who stole the notes? They were lost through the blundering of the prose cutor's office. " "They were stolen," responded Mr. Conkling angrily. "1 apk the court to reprimand the prosecutor for that remark," said Mr. Walsh to Judge Latshaw. "The court has no comment to make," said the Judge. "Who stole the notes?" queried Mr. "Walsh, turning to Mr. Conkling. The Jurors, who had followed the tedious medical testimony all mornimj, eat up in their chairs. "I can't say, hut I know who retained them and refused to give them u-p until the court threatened to send his client to jail.' answered the prosecutor. Mr. Walsh began an explanation of his con duct and the court stopped the verbal clash. WILD MAN SCARES WOMEN Sheriff (withers Iosse to Searcli for Terror of "Woods. YKKKA. Or... May 3. (Special.)

LAW HAS FUGITIVE Detweiler Faces Charge of Bribing Ruef Officials. SURRENDER IS DRAMATIC Thirteen True Bills Returned by Grand Jury in 1007, Hang Over Telephone Alan, Who Gets Re lease on $130,000 Bonds. SAN FRANCISCO, May 3. After be ing lost to sight since March 23, 1907. when he was indicted on 13 counts on charges of bribing the Supervisors "of the Ruer-Schmitz regime, A. K. Det weiler, of Toledo, Ohio, former vice president and general organizer of the Home Telephone Company of this state, surrendered late today to Superior Judge Lawlor, who released him on bonds of $180,000. In a statement made after his sur render, Detweiler said he had been traveling the greater part of his time since the indictments were returned and that he had returned the moment that his physicians had told him that ha could undergo trial without en dangering ils life. He declared that his return was voluntary and solely for the sake of freeing his name from the- odium of having the charges hanging over it. When the Ruef-Schmltz Board of Supervisors advertised the sale of a franchise for a competing telephone system in 190S, Detweiler came to this city from his home in Toleda and suc cessfully bid for the privilege. In March. 1907, the Oliver grand jury re turned thirteen true bills-charging him with bribing the members of the Board of Supervisors' to act favorably upon another bid submitted by his company. At the time of the return of the in dictments, Detweiler was returning to Toledo from a short trip to Europe, taken for his health. A bench warrant was Issued for his arrest, but he disap peared and was not seen again by the local authorities until his spectacular appearance here today. He declared that two years of his time was spent in the health resorts of Europe, but he declines to give the exact date of his return to this country. Detweiler will be arraigned May 5. SENATE WILL . DECIDE (Continued from First Page. amendment striking out the entire sec tion. " Elklns explained that the majority of the interstatesommerce committee was willing to permit the section to go out because of the apprehension that it would repeal the anti-trust law as applied to railroads. He said that he Intended supporting the Clay amend ment, but explained that to get It be fore the Senate it was necessary to lay the Cummins amendment on the table. Cummins believed that his provision if adopted would be beneficial to the public and said that he would re-offer it in connection with a section to be taken up later. He declared himself much gratified over the prospective elimination of the entire traffic agree ment section. The motion to lay on the table was promptly withdrawn by Elkins, who then withdrew the Crawford-Elkins substitute. Agreements Xot Permitted. The last action was acquiesced In by Crawford, but not without protest. The contention that the Crawford amendment would constitute a com pliance with the platform was chal lenged by Clapp, who said the purpose of that declaration had been to insure against monopoly, which the Craw ford amendment would not accomplish. The Clay amendment striking out the agreement provision was then pre sented and accepted without division. This action was followed immediately by adoption without division of a - mo tion by Nelson striking out section 12, which covered the questions of merger. liexliurn th ea , precipitated ih de- bate of the day by presenting an amendment prohibiting a greater charge for a short han for a long haul. He spoke at length in support of his argument, presenting many cases of al leged discrimination. Many of his statements were challenged by Aldrich and a controversy ensued, in which 'several Senators participated. Admitting that apparently there were some cases of injustice, Aldrich said the trouble was to find a remedy. Declaring that many cities such as St. Paul, Kan sas City and Denver had been -built up by the railroads, he asked Heyburn whether he advocated their annihilation In the interest, for instance, of some -unknown place in Idaho. He declared that Heyburn's contentions, carried to their legitimate end. would convert the great central part of the country into barren .waste. "That is the old slrpn song," responded Heyburn. He would not admit its ap plicability, and declared if the terminal charges of the railroads "were raised and were remunerative there could be no in justice in charging the same prices tor a short haul. The Heyburn amendment waa under consideration when the Senate adjourned. House Amends Bill, Too. Voting was begun on amendments to the long and short haul section after two hours' debate in the House. By 55 to 132 an amendment by Hardy of Texas, to strike out the provision to permit the making of low through rates in view of water competition, was defeated. An amendment offered by Washburn of Massachusetts to strike out the en tire section relating to the long and short haul clause, leaving the law unchanged, also was defeated 48 to 172. The House accepted an amendment offered by Stevens of Minnesota, providing for an investigation of facts relating to the long and short haul. The section relating to the, long and short haul clauses was then agreed to in practically the form It was re ported. As agreed to by the House, the section Dermitn miit-nna tn -v.-. low rates for a long haul with water competition only after such lower rates have been approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. . , The provision authorizing traffic agreements between railroads was tben taken up. Townsend of Michigan of fered an amendment providing that in case any such agreement should re sult In higher rates than previously charged the Interstate Commerce Com mission should approve the rates be fore they became effective. Martin of South Dakota offered a substitute pro viding any rates made by traffic agree ments should be approved by the com mission before becoming effective. Mann of Illinois, in charge of the measure, opposed both amendments He declared that the traffic agreement clause, as reported, contained all the safeguards for supervision of rates by the commission that were proposed In the amendments. Both political parties he declared, approved this proposal for traffic agreements. By S3 to 69 Martin's substitute was adopted. Madden of Illinois offered an amend ment to strike out the entire trafflo agreement section. By Ho to 91 the amendment was adopted, many regular Republicans voting with the Demo crats.. The insurgents voted against the Madden proposition. RESULT IV SENATE FEARED Long and SItort Haul Clause, How ever, Slay Be Modified. OREGONUN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. May 3. In view of the over whelming vote In the House today in support of the long and short haul clause of the Mann interstate commerce bill, advocates of the Dixon amendment in the Senate have taken heart and declare tonight that they will have enough votes to force its adoption. There are several Senators who be lieve the amendment cannot be adopted In its present rigid form, but will first have to be modified to conform more nearly to te House provision, which gives the Interstate Commerce Com mission discretionary authority to per mit a heavier charge for a short haul than for a long haul. The situation in the Senate has sud denly become so complicated that it Is difficult to forecast what the outcome of the vote on the Dixon amendment will be, but opponents of that pro vision are today less confident of de feating it than they were a week ago. There appears to . be considerable fear that the amendment in a modified form may be agreed to if. the Demo crats will stand by the Insurgents to force its adoption- Offers to Purchase Believed Xot to Have Been Made in Good Faith. Influential Catholics Are Both For and Against. OREGONIAN NEWS BTTRJEAU, Wash ington. May 3. Jones bill authorizing the sale of the Walla Walla military reservation to Whitman College at J150 an acre was unanimously reported to day by the House committee on military affairs, exactly as it passed the Senate. The committee this morning gave fur ther hearing to Senator Jones, Dean Hendricks and others; and after consid ering their testimony In connection with the flood of telegrams received during the past week, oame to the conclusion that tho various offers of individuals to buy the reservation at a higher price than that named, in the bill were insincere and made to prevent sale of the reservation to Whitman College, either on sectarian grounds or In the hope that the Govern ment would revive Fort Walla Walla as a military post of the bill- were defeated. After conference with the War Depart ment, the committee was satisfied that troops would in no circumstances be sent back to Walla Walla, as that post is deemed worthless and is permanently abandoned. Moreover, it turned out to day that while some Influential Catholics have been protesting against this bill, others of equal prominence have given the bill their support. The committee was somewhat Indignant to .find that It had been imposed on by the opponents of the bill, who have been making pretended offers to buy, and this fact, together with the strong support given the measure by the Governors of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, induced them to abandon their previous intention to authorize the sale"-to the highest bidder and to report the bill without amendment. It is expected that there will be further opposition to the bill when it comes up for consideration in the House.
