" oap" Pr--NITED STfVT&S H S MEMORY AT LASTAWAKENED Mrs.TurnbullSaysMar ' riage Was Admitted. BALDWIN TOLD HIS DAUGHTER Smoking of Cigarette Called Forth' His Statement. GRILLING DRAWS TEARS For First Time Woman Who Alleges Contract Marriage to Millionaire Says He Acknowledged Her as Ills Wife. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. Keyed up to the point of desperation by the stinging comment of opposing counsel that seem ingly the only persons cognizant of her alleged marriage to "Lucky" Baldwin were negro servants and persons "now numbered in the Innumerable throng populating the cemeteries," Mrs. Lillian Ashjey Turnbull made the direct state ment on cross-examination at the re opening of her daughter's will contest today that ths turfman had told his daughter, Mr Clara Stocker, In her presence, that she was his wife. It is the first unqualified statement otA that kind Mrs. Turnbull has made, al though for six days she has been under the fire of cross-questions which often dwelt particularly on that point, and her declaration apparently surprised even the attorneys representing her daughter, Beatrice Anita Turnbull, who is seeking to break Baldwin's will and obtain a 12,500,000 share of his estate. Cigarette Evokes Admission. An Incident concerning a cigarette, the first and last she ever puffed, Mrs. Turn bull said, brought about her direct knowledge that Baldwin had told Mrs. Stoker, then Mrs. Harold, that she was Mrs. Baldwin. She quoted the exact language which she said the turfman had used on that occasion. "It was after a dinner given by Clara Harold In honor of Mr. Baldwin and my self at Santa Anita ranch," said Mrs. Turnbull. "We were on the veranda to gether and Clara offered me a cigarette. When I refused it she said "You are no kind of a sport,' and I took it and puffed It a time or two. Just then Mr. Baldwin came out and said: " 'Clara, I do not care what you do, but do not teach my wife any bad habits.' Baldwin in Erfect Admitted Bigamy. "Then he turned to me, saying in ex planation, 'Yes. I have told her all about It.' It was afterward that Clara drew our heads together and whispered in my ear something that sounded like 'Mother,' as I testified the other 4ay." "Mrs. Stocker knew her father al ready had a wife. Do you mean to say that Mr. Baldwin confessed to her an act that might easily have put him In the penitentiary for bigamy?" asked Attorney McNab. "That is what he said. I am telling you the truth." replied the witness. .(Concluded on Page 7.) I mm-. ..iwis. Tim i. ia WW CUPID THAWS PAIR ON MOUNTAIN TOP BEND EDITOR AND CONNECTI CUT GIRL PLIGHT TROTH. George Palmer Pntnam to Wed Dorothy Binney, ex-Actress. They Meet In California. That Cupid can fly to mountain tops without losing breath Is borne out by the announcement of the engagement of Miss Dorothy Binney, eldest daugh ter of Edwin Binney, of Sound Beach, Conn., to George Palmer Putnam, of Rye, N Y., and Bend, Or. News of the engagement reached Mr. Putnam's friends in Portland yesterday, where he Is well known. Miss Binney and Putnam met in the Summer of 1908 In California. The Sierra Mountain Climbing Club was on Its annual outing and was climbing Mount Whitney. ' The party of 60, of course, took long on the ascent, camp ing on the way in picturesque spots. And Putnam and Miss Binney did not fir t the excursion a freezing one. When it was over and Miss Binney sped back East, she left behind an "understand ing." She was then about to enter her junior year at Wellesley College. She was an athlete aud actress, too. She made big hits as Ferdinand in "The Tempest," John Hale in Fox's "Trail of the Lonesome Pine," and Bertrand Dal lamnon in Rosand's "Fri-cess Far Away," the latter drama being played by Wellesley students out of doors. Mr. Putnam is a son of J. Bishop Put nam, of Rye, N. Y., and was Western representative of G. P. Putnam's Sons, publishers, when he met Miss Binney. When he went to Bend, Or., he founded the Bend Bulletin. A month ago he went to the Binney plantation at Carfhage, N.

SENATOR EL KINS CAPITAL End Gomes After Lin gering Illness. FAMILY IS WITH HIM TO LAST Striking Figure in Halls of Con gress Is Gone. WEST VIRGINIA MOURNS State Loses- Statesman Who Has Prominent Part In Framing i of Railroad and Other Laws of Nation. ' WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. Senator Stephen B. Elkins. of West Virginia, died at midnight tonight. At his bed side were his wife, his daughter Kath erlne, and four sons, David, Richard, Stephen and Blaine, and the physicians. Death was due to septicaemia of blood poisoning. He was conscious un til within a half hour of death. In the early evening there were per sistent rumors in Washington that the Senator's condition had become grave, and fears were expressed that he might not live through the night. The Elklns family, however, were hopeful to tha last and to the numerous Inquirers who poured In at the Elklns home en couraging responses were given. Senator 111 Several Months. Mr. Elkins became ill in the early Summer at his home at Elklns. W. Vs. He was kept in strict confinement there and only the members of his immediate family were allowed to see him. On November 9, when he waa removed to Washington In a private car, he was re ported considerably Improved. Physi cians declared that he might be able to take his seat in the Senate at tha open ing of Congress. Mr. Elklns' ailment had never become, definitely known. In the Summer he was, reported to be suffering from an intes tinal trouble. In many respects slmilas to acute indigestion. At other times phy sicians are said to have believed him. afflicted with a nervous malady. Last week it was reported that open air treatment had been advised and that a room on the roof of his home would ba arranged for him. Funeral Likely at Homo. Though no funeral arrangements have) been announced, It is probable that Mr. Elklns will be burled at Elklns, W. Va. During the large part of his service in the Senate Mr. Elkins was chairman of the Important committee on Interstate commerce. As head of this committee he had charge of the Hepburn rate reg ulation bill of 1907 and of the Administra tion bill of 1910. A railroad-builder and owner himself, Mr. Elklns had Intimate knowledge of ell questions affected by this legislation. Long Speech Delivered. He was the outspoken champion of the bill of 1910 and, as such, fought for its passage night and day for months. Prob ably the.longest speech ever delivered by the West Virginia Senator was made In its support. Geniality was the predominating trait In Senator Elkins' character. He seldom was without a smile and his prevailing manner was courteous and sympathetic. A man of vast affairs outside the Senate and responsible there for Important legislation, he always had time to give attention to the wants of his constituents or his friends. He was one of the first movers for an investigation into the high cost of living, which was inaugurated in the second session of the 61st Con gress. He aspired to a place on the committee on finance and his failure to obtain that position probably was the 'greatest disappointment of his Senatorial career. South Spoken For. The committee on finance deals with the tariff, and Mr. Elkins made open protest against the action of the Sen ate In overlooking the Republicans of the South in filling the committee. Among the achievements standing to Mr. Elklns' credit is the passage of the Elkins' anti-rebate bill, soon after he entered the Senate; legislation provid ing for many important improvements of the Ohio, Kanawha and Big Sandy rivers; innumerable material amend ments to the railroad bills of 1907 andt 1910, and many modifications of the tariff. He was the first to suggest the use of Army engineers In building tha Panama Canal. TWO SENATORS HIPS VACANT Death of Elklns Complicates Situa tion in Virginia. CHARLESTON, W. Va., Jan. 4. While it has been known to close friends of Senator Elklns that his recovery was not expected, news of his death came In the nature of a surprise. His robust condition, his intimate acquaintances believed, would withstand the ravages of disease for some time. Senator Elklns was personally extremely popu lar. The death of Senator Elkins adds to the political complications In this state. The Legislature, which was already (Concluded on Page 3.)
