Prosecution Slay Petition for Re moval of Trial From Cathla mei to Another District. To circumvent the various movement of the defense to save their client, the prosecution In theCase of Dr. Fred Pea cock, who is under arrest at Cathlamet. Wash, will call upon Governor Hay to name a Judge from another district to sit in the place of Judge Rloe. who can not be present to hear the trial within the to-day period required by law. This action was outlined by Attorney John A. Logan, of thla city, who Is as sociated with Prosecutor Stuart In try ing the case, when he returned from Cathlamet last night. Attoraey.Logan aaya that N. II. Bloom field and E. 8. J. McAllister, attorneys for the defense, changed their baae sev eral times yesterday, as the proceedings In court worked contrary to their ad vantage. "While their first cry was to have the case dismissed, because they did not get the first trial under the SO-day period." explained Mr. Logan, "when confronted with the second Indictment they quickly changed their tactics snd asserted that the law had been repealed and aaked for a delay. The saving clause In the Wash ington statutes was pointed out and the prosecution asked for an immediate hear ing. Judge Rice stated that next Wednes day. October 3. Is the only day within the to-day period that he haa open, but the defense said that on account of the absence of an Important witness In Brit ish Columbia they could not be ready at that time. If they have any Idea of again delaying the proceedings beyond the period of days, we will call upon Governor Hay to name a substitute Judge to hear the case, as Is provided by the Washington statute." FOUR-FIFTHS WHEAT HELD Inland Kmplre Fanners Store Crops Awaiting Better Prices. WALLA WALLA. Wash. Oct. ZL (PpedsL) Not one-fifth of the wheat crop of the Inland Empire has been sold, 'says L. C Crow, president of the Wash ington Farmers Union, who is here to attend the farmers' conference with the railroad officials tomorrow. As the yield for the three Northwestern states Is placed at about G6.COO.0uO bushels, this leaves about ll.0CO.OuO bushels sold, the rcmalndur yet to be marketed. Walla Walla and the Big Bend have marketed considerably more than this proportion of their grain, said Mr. Crow, nearly a third having been sold here and a half In the Big Bend. In other places the market has been duller. Present In dications are that the farmers here and elsewhere will continue to hold their crops, although some will be forced to s-ll. owing to financial Inability to hold their grain. The low quotations and the belief that they will go higher Is the cause assigned for the alight activity In wheat. . s FaJoose Project Slay Be Revived. PASCO. Wash,. Oct XL Bpeclal.

Portland's future as the manufactur ing and Jobbing center not only of the Pacific Northwest but also of the Pacific Coast will depend almost en tirely upon what degree of success the local commercial Interests attain In se curing attractive distributive freight rates and in improving the waterways to which this city Is tributary, accord ing to members of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Com merce, who addressed an open meeting held at the Commercial Club last nlnnt. Emphasis was laid on the fact that Portland owes Its present commercial importance to Its strateglo location, particularly in regard to Its outlet to the sea and to its relative position with the Columbia River drainage sys teh touching as far east as Idaho. Eastern Washington and Southern British Columbia. Business Interests Invoked. The business Interests of Portland were urged to avail themselves of the opportunity, without further delay, to assist the Chamber of Commerce In bringing about Improved facilities for shipping on the rivers so that the up building of Portland can be absolute ly assured. If It were not that Portland Is lo cated on a navigable stream, giving it an outlet to the sea, we would not have been on the map, said Herman Wittenberg, chairman of the meeting. "We would have been entirely at tke mercy of the transcontinental railroads and, as a distributive center we would have been of no consequence. "But we realize what our geographlo and strategic position means, and it re mains for us to use the opportunity we have. If we are given co-operation bv the neoDle of Portland in the worn of exploiting our transportation acui ties, our efforts will result in mating Portland the great Jobbing and manu facturing center of the Paciflca Coast." Shipping Real Need. J. N. Teal, one of the legal advisers of the transportation committee, ex plained that Portland could not expect to receive an appreciable reduction of transcontinental freight rates until more active competition is had with ocean shipping. He said that as soon as the Panama Canai Is in operation. shipping conditions would be greatly benefited. Other speakers were of the belief that Portland was Just on the eve of a large commercial growth, but agreed that the transportation problems must be cleared up as rapidly as possible. In order to assist the transportation committee In its work, it was shown that more funds were needed and all business Interests in the city have been asked to become affiliated with the contmlttee. 50 ENJOY SOCIAL SHU INTEREST IS XLTNOM-n CXCB STUXT INCREASING.

JUDGE GORDON MENTIONED Saloonkeeper Testifies Accused Otfan Tried to Telephone to Lawyer on Night When Money Was to Have Been Offered. Argument consumed about the entire afternoon in the case of Howard A. Guilford, on trial before a Jury in Circuit Judge Kavanaugh's depart ment of the Circuit Court on a charge of bribery. Guilford's attorneys made a motion to dismiss the case on the ground that the state procured the commission of the crime. ' Judge Kava naugh had not passed on the question when the time for adjournment ar rived last night. Judge Gordon of Tacoma was men tioned by J. Sllngerland. one of the witnesses, yesterday. Slingerland is proprietor of the Mecca saloon, at Sixth and Couch streets. He said that the night of May 11, the night Guilford, by pre-arrangement, was to have taken the bribe money to the home of Juror Barton and Guilford telephoned from his saloon, trying in vain to reach Judge Gordon at the Oregon Hotel. Slingerland said that he " particularly remembered the incident because he told Guilford that Gordon was reg istered at the Oregon. Gordon was one of the attorneys associated with Attorneys Sweek and Fouts in the de fense of W. Cooper Morris, the indicted bank cashier. Barton was one of the Jurors who was trying Morris. Special Prosecutor Testifies. A. E. Clark, who was the special prosecutor for the state, was called to the stand yesterday morning, and said that Barton first telephoned to him concerning the attempt at bribery.

Later, when he realized more fully the seriousness of the situation, he said he told the Judge the situation was a very delicate one. Clark said that if was not until he -heard Guilford's, statement at detective headquarters that he heard the names of Sweek and Fouts mentioned in con nection with the attempted bribery. Since the trial began there has been constant bickering between Attorney Campbell, representing Guilford, and Deputy District Attorney Page, over trivial legal questions. At times the remarks exchanged have provoked laughter on the part of the audience. "Are you still working on this case, and if so why don't you arrest Sweek and Fouts?" was one of the questions asked of Detective Mallett yesterday by Guilford's attorney. Cases LeTt. to Grand Jury. "The matter has been investigated by the grand Jury," replied Mallett. The whole thing has been threshed out. and I have not heard that they returned any indictment against Sweek and Fouts. We have no warrant for their arrest." "Did you wait for the grand Jury to act before you arrested this man?" persisted the attorney. Juror Barton explained to the Jury that the reason his name appeared on the muster roll of the Second Oregon Volunteers as H. M. B. Carter was be cause his mother. In his early youth, married a man named Carter. He was known in Eugene as Carter, said Bar ton, and the clerk, in entering his name, signed it Carter. He said he allowed It to remain, although he in sisted that the Initial B, for Barton, be Inserted. He said that the clerk was not authorized by him to enter It Carter. Judge Gantenbein said that Barton's record was excellent. Elizabeth Tergen's Estate $26,431.
