That the Taclflc Northwest Is busier

Since the last report of the associa

the extent of 14S. This was partially
offset by a decrease of S In the flat
car surplus. Notwithstanding the In
crease In surplus boxcars, there Is an
Indication of a tightening In the sup

Jury Gets Case Today.
CINCINNATI. June 16. The ending
of a sensational trial came today when
attorneys representing both sides In
the case of Arthur Cooke, charged
with embesxling 124.000 from the Big
Four Railroad, aald they would fore-J
go arguments. In the court It was
announced instructions would be, given
the Jurors tomorrow morVlng.
The action of the attorneys created
surprise, as It was thought each side
would attempt to reconcile conflicting
testimony. Apparently, however, each
side was certain of success and willing;
to let the facts of Mrs. Jeanette Stew
art Ford's relations to various officials
of the railway speak for themselves
in determining the guilt or Innocence
of Cooke.
Defense Begins and Ends.
The defense was begun and ended to
day and Cooke himself gave practi
cally the entire testimony upon which
It rests. He denied emphatically that
he had ever stolen a dollar from the
Big Four or committed any dishonest
act In his life.
Ha also denied be was aware that
Charles 1 Warriner was short 1(43.000,
that the accounts of Frank Comstock,
Warrlner's predecessor, were not what
they should have been or that there
waa anything Irregular In the conduct
of the corporation.
He startled his hearers by declaring:
I know that Warriner was not
short and I can prove it If I get the
chance."
Cooke denied he had ever given Mrs.
Ford, the woman In the case, SZS.OOO
In small bills and accounted for his
prosperity while he resided with her
In New York by saying ne naa inner
Ited tJO.000 from his mother. An in
sinuation on cross-examination that he
bad transferred certain funds to his
wife was met by the further declara
tlon that Mrs. Cooke had Inherited
about (20.000 from her father's estate.
Cooke Tells of Letters.
Much of the cross-examination was
devoted to questioning Cooke regarding
the meaning of certain letters which he
had written Mra Ford. Cooke declared
that references In them to money mat
ters were written with a view to mis
leading Mrs. Ford and to keep ber from
making demands on him. Tie said' he
reallv was not without funds as he
wrote, but he only told Mrs. Ford so
to make her believe he was poor and
took smart sums from ber with the same
purpose In mind.
"II1 you get any money rrom war
rlnerr' he was asked.
-Yes. to pay Mrs. Ford's bills.
"How muchw-a thousand dollars?"
"Oh. that would not be anything."
Cook said he had no Idea how much
money Warriner had given him for Mrs.
Ford's expenses.
Memory Is Faulty.
Cooke's memory also was faulty when
he waa asked to tell for what names
certain Initials used In one letter -were
meant. He explained them by saying
that It probably was part of his "stage
plajr to deceive Mrs. tora.
"Did rou ever have any money
planted anywhere?" asked Assistant
Prosecutor Dennis Cash.
'No. I did not." said Cooke.
'What did you mean In those letters
to Mrs. Cooke In Cincinnati saying you
hd to cross the river to get the
stuff?"
"I don't remember anything about
that. I must have made that out of
wh.le cloth."
At the conclusion of Cooke s testi
mony, he said he and prosecutor Hunt
had gone over all of Cooke's letters to
Mrs. Ford. This closed the examina
tion.

Cheap Round-Trip Fares Between
Los Angeles and San Francisco
Offered War May Extend.
LOS ANGELES. June (Special.)
There is more than a fAlr prospect of
a lively steamship-railroad rate war
between Los Angeles, and San Fran
cisco. Recently the Southern Pacific
announced a round-trip rate, of $18.70
between the two cities for the Interna
tional Sunday School convention In San
Francisco.
Special trains were "lined up" on the
reduced rates when the Pacific
Navigation Company, operating the fast
passenger steamships Yale and Har
vard, announced a rate of $10 for the
round trip, which had the euect of at
tracting away considerable of the traf
fic originally scheduled to go by rail.
To meet the situation, the Southern
Pacific today announced a rate of 110
for the round trip, good going next
Monday with a final return limit of 15
days. The San Francisco A Portland
and the Pact tic Coast Steamship Com
panies are not participating in the rate
war, although if the fight should be
drawn out to any considerable extent.
It Is reported that these boat jines will
declare tnemaeives. In which event
there Is a prospect of an opportunity
of traveling between Los Angeles and
Puget Sound on rates lower than have
ever been made before.
The Santa Fe road has announced
that it win participate In the $10 rate
to San Francisco from San Diego.

a man was arrested here today. His
capture was effected by Deputy Sheriff
Harris, who trailed him from Yamhill
to Gaston, at which place he ' began
working today as a railroad laborer.
The man seems to be demented and
gives the name of George Binall. He
collapsed when arrested, as though
very weak physically. He speaks with
an English accent and claims to have
come from British Columbia less than
a year ago and says he has been in
the vicinity of Oswego, walking from
there to Yamhill in quest of work, but
says he has never heard of Mllwaukle.
He Is over five feet tail, of rather light
build, probably less than 25 years old.

the right side of hts chin, a week's
growth of beard on his face and Is ap
parently a -man of education, as his
rambling talk would signiry.
He constantly used the sentence, "I
haven't done anything, sir," when ad
dressed. One suspicious circumstance
connected with the suspect Is numer
ous spots on the front of bis clothing
and on his hat and for the appearance
of which he makes no explanation.
Deputy Sheriff Archie Leonard, who
came here tonight from Portland, after
a thorough investigation, says there Is
nothing by which the suspect might be
connected with the Hill mystery. He
says Binall admits he was born In
Cardiff. Wales, and that he came to
the Pacific Coast but a year ago. Binall
will be held here for examination.

screen door between herself and the
man, who. after washing his face and
hands outside the house, rolled a cigar
ette and walked away, apparently ior
getting that he was hungry or that he
had asked for food. The man wore a
light straw hat and blue overalls, and
had a dark mustache and a beard of
fully two weeks' growth.

The fact of the matter Is that In

after two years of haggling; President
Taft and most of the Insurgents find

EX-REBEL IS ARRESTED
"General" Pryce Soon Sees That
Lower California Is Lost Cause.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 16. General
Carl Ap. Rhys Pryce, a British soldier
of fortune, who was one of the com
manders of the Insurgent In Southern
California, was arrested today by
United States Marshal Elliott.
Pryce says that he left Southern
California several weeks ago. He be
lieved the Insurrection was ended and
be had no further occasion to remain
longer. He denies that he ever had
anything to do with the equipping of
forces In the United States for the aid
of the Mexican Insurgents.
Pryce, who led the Lower California
rebels when they captured Tla Juana,
Lower California, last month, quietly
disappeared from Tla Juana about
three weeks ago. He went to Ivos An
geles, ostensibly to find out why the
Mexican Liberal party's Junta there
had not sent arms,, ammunition and
supplies to the rebels.
According to stories about him. he Is
Welshman and served In the British
army In the Boer War. He was first
heard of In connection with the revolt
In Lower California after Stanley Wil

Bourne and Bristow are so sore that
they will not support Taft If renoml- '
nated. and It is hardly possible that they
can get a third ticket into the field and
make any kind of a showing. Therefore
they will have the alternative of sup
porting the Democratic nominee or the 1
nominee of some inconsequential party,
or staying out of the campaign alto- j
gether. There wouia seem to De no pos
sibility of building up a formidable new
party In the year intervening before the
Republican National Convention la held.
La Follette Slay Be for Wilson.'
It Is currently reported that La Follette
will support Woodrow Wilson, If he Is
nominated by the Democrats. Perhaps
Bourne and Bristow would do likewise.
These three men are today more Demo
crats than Republicans In their politi
cal Ideas, and more Socialistic than
Democratic. For all that, all three as
pire to be delegates to the next Re
publican National Convention, so that
they may at least voice their opposition
to Taft. La Follette probably can con
trol the Wisconsin delegation, but there
Is considerable doubt whether Bourne
can dominate the delegation from Ore
gon or Bristow the delegation from Kan
sas. Even so, the delegations from these
three states will be swamped In the con
vention. If the present view of the situa
tion Is correct, and If nothing occurs in
the next year to check the belated
Krowth of Taft's popularity.
On this subject the Washington Star
says:
"Senator Bourne Is expected to keep
up opposition to the renomination oi
President Taft. but the latter's friends
assert that the Oregon Senator will not
be able to control tke delegation of tha
state, and consequently feel that the
flcht of Mr. Bourne will be fruitless,
ivi If not farcical. Mr. Bourne's tenac
ity in sticking to a lost cause Is referred
to by those who remember that he was
practically the lone man in tne Kepon
lican convention at Chicago three years
airo to Insist that Roosevelt should b
renominated. At the same time he Is
sued most gloomy forebodings at rapid
periods as to the defeat of Taft If nomi

The recall petition which Attorney
Lee Cannon received today from At
torney-General A. M. Crawford, after
receiving his approval, will be circu

Lartre sums of money have been do

and is being added to every day, the

The feeling here is very strong
against Coke, and it is also known that
at his home in Marshtield there is even
stronger sentiment against him, arising
from other decisions, while there is
equally as strong a feeling in Eugene.
It Is predicted that tha petition will
soon carry more than the amount of
names required by law to recall Judge
Coke. The McClallen case is not the
only one, that is unsatisfactory, there
being a large percentage of the people
in Roseburg who are very bitter
against him on the heavy fines Imposed
