swer.
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

I told him to send hi report In by

A short time afterwards a voluminous
report against me wse sent to the Secre
tary of the Navy. It was signed by J.
I McWIlson. who represented himself
to be a superintendent of construction
for the O.-W. R. N. Co. It was re
turned to me through the hydrographlo
office. I Investigated and found that
McWIlson was a fictitious personage."
Captain Shepherd Talks.
There was & great deal nt variance In
the testimony offered by Shepherd. 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. April 1. and
commanded the mnster-at-arms to ac
company him and that he did not order
"Wlschausen to arrest Blaln until be bad
returned and was within hearing of the
latter.
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.

also unanimous In declaring Blaln used

FOREST GROVE TO EXPAND
Commercial Club Petitions for Ex

FOREST GROVE. Or., April 18. (Spe
cial.) 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

Portland Man Quietly Buys AH Sac
ramento Valley Crop.
SACRAMENTO. Ca!.. April 28. Forty
thousand bales of hops, representing
practically the entire 1910 crop of the
Sacramento valley with the "olds or
1909. 1908. 1907 and 1906, have been quiet
ly gathered up by a Portland speculator
and shipped via San Francisco to supply
the English market.
Shortage of the India crop caused a
heavy demand from across the water,
and a good price was obtained for the
entire output. The sales netted the
hopgrowera of the Valley more than
1140,000.

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

Here's a mighty
fine tribute to the
Woods Electric which is
handed to us frequently
by owners who come in to
inspect new models. They
love their old car so well
that they are reluctant to
change for a new car unless
they can be assured that
the new ones are going to be
as good. That's a compli
ment that we couldn't buy
with anything but quality
and service. A million
dollars' worth of advertising
couldn't buy it.
r&i These people
have actually
questioned our
ability or the
IK t'-4aT " K n
ability of any concern on earth
rto make a new car that will
deliver the goods like the old
one did. But we think the
answer is that past experience
has qualified us to improve on
our own work and , the new
model is better than the old,
good as the old one was and is.
This ought to be an infalliUs

plates the purchase of an elec
