JfEW JCDGE LIKtXY TO HEAR
PEACOCK CASE, IS SAID.
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the law had been repealed and aaked for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. .

RAILROADS ARE CENSURED
Chamber of Commerce Transporta
tion Committee Outlines Need
of Portland to Hold Present
Commercial Supremacy.
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.

EASTERN OREGON CONGRESS TO
. MEET IN SCMPTER IN 1910.
Delegates Satisfied With Admlnlstra
. tion of Whitman National For
est by Officials.
SUM PTE R. Or.. Oct. 21. (Special.)
The second day's session of the Eastern
Oregon Mining Congress closed here to
day after a most Interesting discussion
on many matters of interest to the
miners, operators and the mining Indus
try. In the forenoon "Relations be
tween the Forest Service and the Miners"
was the subject discussed by George
Mead, of Portland, representing the For
est Service. This was followed by a
discussion of "Conservation Measures"
by L. D. Mahone, of Portland. .
This brought, forth a spirited debate
over the adoption of a resolution as fol
lows: "That we are opposed to the pas
sage of the bills pending In Congress,
providing for the leasing of the mineral
lands of the country under Government
supervision, and that we believe It to be
for the best interest of the people of this
state and to the people of the West in
their respective states, to develop their
own mineral resources and promote such
legislation, state or National, as will
result in keeping the revenues from this
source within our own borders."
In the discussion of the resolution' it
was brought out that there was no de
sire on the part of the Congress to take
issue with the forest reserve policy as
at present administered. On the con
trary. It was ahown that the administra
tion of the Whitman National forest has
been most satisfactory to the miners of
this part of the state, the forest officials
having at all times worked In harmony
and rendered much' valuable assistance
to them. . '
After the adoption of the resolution a
motion was carried making the Eastern
Oregon Mining Congress an auxiliary of
the State Mining Association and pledg
ing the organization to work in harmony
in promoting the best interest of legiti
mate mining in Eastern Oregon.
Adjournment waa then taken to meet
in Bumpter one year hence.
INDIAN FUTURE BRIGHT
LAKE MOHONK SPEAKER SEES
UOPEFCX SIGNS.
Conference Favors Citizenship
for
Porto Rica as, and Conservation
of Rights of Filipinos.
MOHONK LAKE, N. Y. Oct 21. The
Lake Mohonk Conference of Friends of
the Indians and Other Dependent Peo
ples closed tonight with an address by
Elmer Ellsworth Brown, United States
Commissioner of Education.
"This is a well seasoned conference,"
declared Mr. Brown, "and optimistic as
regards the Indian. It was an Indian
speaker and the first of his race to be
graduated from Yale who would have his
people taxed for their own good."
Speaking of the dependent people in
general, he said:
"No one la concerned with simply do
ing good to such peoples. In a lordly and
condescending way. It is a wise ruler
who knows the difference between the
discontent of growing pains and the dis
content that is simply volcanic."
Speaking on Porto Rican affairs. Rep
resentative Parsons, of New York, said
that the United States as a colonial
power had led the way In training de
pendent peoples for self-government.
The platform "recognizes the Improved
personnel of the Indian servloe." It
urges that all Philippine lands be held
In trust "not only for present profitable
use by Filipinos, but for future genera
tions." It favors citizenship for Porto
Rlcans. Regarding the future of Insular
possessions, it says:
"Statehood should not be promised; ex
pectation of statehood should not be en
couraged and preparation for statehood,
as even an ultimate result, should not
be regarded as a present problem."

MOTION IS

Guilford's Lawyers Contend
. State Procured Bribery.
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.
He telephoned to Judge Gantenbeln, he
said, and the court instructed him to
call Deputy District Attorney Fitzger
ald and a stenographer and to take
Barton's statement. 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.

GOOD THINGS IN THE
PORTLAND MARKETS
BT I.ILIAX TINGLE.
Apples continue to be the most inter
esting and beautiful feature of the
market displays. Many varieties are
represented, and it Is in some cases
hard to make choice between different
phases of apple-attractiveness. Prices
are more moderate than at this time
last year; so that not only all tastes,
but all pockets, may be suited. By the
dozen, apples cost from 10 to 35 cents,
according to size and kind; and by the
box from 76 cents to $2.75.
There are still some good grapes to
be seen. Tokays cost about 7 cents
a pound, or 30 to 35 cents a basket.
Concords range from 20 to 25 cents.
Cornlchons are coming in, and sell at
present for about 15 cents a pound.
The new oranges and grapefruit are
gradually coming to the fore. The lat
ter cost 6 to 15 cents each; and the
former. 15 to 35 cents a dozen. Cran
