McNulty Hand by Shepherd. There was another sensation when McNulty tild of an allered attempt on the part of the Hlatn faction to have him desert Captain Shepherd and come ever to their side, promising that be would be re-elected to the position he now holds, that of commander. The conversation Is alleged to have oc curred at the corner of Fifth and AI der streets about the time the fight between the rival factions over the bills at Salem ra looming up. "Blaln told me." said McNulty. "that I bad better come In with them on their MIL I asked Its contents and found that it provided that all the of ficers, with the exception of Captain and Commander, were to be named In the bill and that those two were to be elected by the officers who retained their commissions. Blain said. 'Well. you know Shepherd Is not the man for the Job. We'll see that you pet the same position you have now. I rpl;ed that an AdmlraJshlp wouldn't tempt me to desert Captain bnepnera after sll.be had done for the Oregon Naval Keserve. Blaln said he knew ny silary. my social position and my record and concluded with "Well. If you don't come In we'll skin you:' I told him I would sink or float with the hlp.- Later. on cross-examination by Blaln. McNulty denied that he had said "To h I with Oregon. I am working for the Government." and that he had threatened that unless the Blaln faction gave way he would see that the O.-egjn Naval Reserve re ceived no arms, equipment or a ship from the I'nttrd States Government. Continuing his testimony. McNulty caused the third ripple of excitement In the courtroom when he said that the day following the conversation with Blaln he was told over the telephone by the latter that he (McNulty) would be re ported to the Navy Department for mls cs of the Government frank on letters end undue political activity. I told him to send hi report In by wire." said McNulty. A short time afterwards a voluminous report against me wse sent to the Secre tary of the Navy. It was signed by J.

Mo Natty and Master-at-Arms Wlschausen. Shepherd said he walked away from Plain about 30 feet on the night of the disturbance, at the Armory.

McNulty testified that 8hephsrd walked down the Armory and ordered Wlschau sen to go up and arrest Blaln. also that Wlschausen had asked Shepherd what to do and that the latter replied: "Put him out." Shepherd was not sure wheth er or not he had said. "Put him out." The really contradictory part came, however, when Wlschausen took the stand. He said that Shepherd ordered Mm. within hearing of Lieutenant Blom berg. Lieutenant-Commander Edwards. W. T. Carroll and others, to "place Mr. Hl-Un under arrest. and that at no time had Shepherd said anythmg of any na ture about putting Mr. Blain out of the Armory. McNulty testified that Blaln was dragged along by the master-at-arms several feet and that he attempted to free himself several times before striking his captor. Wlschausen said that he walked op to Blaln and saiJ: "You are under arrest." that Blain swore and struck htm Immediately. Lieutenant Blomberg. Blaln. Mr. Car roll and Lieutenant-Commander Edwards had stated on the stand at previous ses sions of the court that Shepherd did not order Wlschausen to arrest Blaln but had simply ordered that Blaln be put out, using the words, "put him out," In response to a finery from Wlschausen. -What shall I do with hlmT They were also unanimous In declaring Blaln used no foul language.

The Commercial Club bas adopted resolutions asking the City Council to enlarge the corporate limits of the city. Most of the residential section Is out or the present town limits. The law passed by tne recent legisla ture will assist the Commercial Club In bringing this about. When the milk cimdenaery located In Forest Grove It was understood that five years after Its Installation the owners would petition the city to come within the corporate limits. The management of the condens- ery has been opposed to come within the city limits because of the Increase of blows both gathered speed and taxation. Smith was a two-to-one favorite In the betting and it was by a rare ex hibition of sameness that the San Francisco fighter secured an even break. Both men were staggering at the close. Smith led easily durlnff the opening rounds, McCarthy being kept constant ly on the defensive and receiving se vere punishment. It waa not until the tenth, when the local fighter changed his tactics, that It appeared he would be able to stay the 20 rounds. In this round he began a vicious at tack in the infighting, hooking Smith with short Jabs to the face and body. In the following three rounds McCarthy carried the fight to Smith and several times the Easterner was sent stagger ing against the ropes. Until the 16th McCarthy had decidely the better of the mill, when Smith rallied, and in the closing sessions both men appeared to have a chance to win. Smith whipped his r'Pht re peatedly to McCarthy's head, but the Westerner took the blows doggedly and evened the score by stiff body blows in the closc-rango nghtlfg.

Railroad Men Dance. Feature of New Harrtman Structure Marks It as Only One of Kind in Country. When the new Harrlman bridge across the Willamette River Is complet ed It will be the only one of the kind In the country as it will be so constructed that the lower deck, which is to be used by the railroad trains, can be lifted for the passage of vessels with out lifting the upper deck, which will be utilized by streetcars, wagons pedes trians and the ordinary surface traffic. The bridge was designed by Wad dell & Harrington, of Kansas City, who also prepared plans for the new Hawthorne bridge. They declare that this feature of independent lifts Is a great improvement over the present type of lift In use on bridges having two decks. Surface traffic will be leas frequently interfered with, because the upper deck will be unusually high and many vessels that cannot pass under any of the existitr bridges can go up or down the river with ease when the lower deck is raised. Actual construction of the steel work by Robert Wakefield, a Portland con tractor, was begun this ween ana win be rushed to completion. More than 150 carloads of steel for the super structure are on the ground. The vari ous parts already have been fitted and when they are assembled each can be placed in position as It is neeaea. ureal speed will be possible in this way. The first arch that is to support me upper deck was completed last night. It stands this morning as a guide-post to point the direction of the new struc ture and the height of the surface tracks. The top of the red arch as it appears at present will be the height of the roadway and the streetcar- tracks on the east approach. The west ap proach will be somewhat lower. The piers and abutments, which were built under contract by the United En gineering & Construction Company, of Kansas City. have, been completed. The false work that now surrounds the east pier will be removed In a few days so that the pier can be used as a founda tion for the steel frame that It has been made to support. Steel for the east approach and for the east end of the bridge will be un loaded on the east sido of the river, while that for the west approach will be taken over the old Steel bridge and kept conveniently near for use as It Is required. Construction of the west portions cannot be started, however, until after the old Northern Pacific terminal roundhouse is removed. As provision has been made for the accommodation of the engines used In the terminal yards In the old O.-W. R. & N. Company frelghthouse. the roundhouse can be de molished at once. Engineers have estimated that the new bridge will be completed and open ror both railroad and city traffic early In the Fall. cents per crafe from 'mi cents. The crop Is showing excellent prospects.
