MEW TRIAL JW0TI0N LOST
Court Holds Railway Can't Ese Wit-
nes Called by Plaintiff.
In denying a motion for a new trial
yesterday in the case of Gertrude F.
Forrest against the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company Judge Morrow
held that a physician subbpenaed by
one of the litigants and not put on the
stand may not be called by the other
side. The iudtrment or 14nnn nhtainori
by Mrs. Forrest will, therefore, hold
good, unless the railway company ap
peals to the Supreme Court and obtains
an adverse decision.
Mrs. Forrest and her attorney went
to visit a Portland physician after she
had been injured. He examined her
with a view to giving evidence at the
trial of the case. In a professional
conversation with another doctor, who
was in the employ of the comDanv. the
physician consulted indicated what his
diagnosis was. The information was
communicated to Wilbur & Spencer, at

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18. (Special.)
In the fight made against extradition
by attorneys for Louis J. Wilde, in
dicted at Portland, Or., on a charge of
embezzling 890,000 from the bankrupt
Oregon Trust & Savings Company, be-
rore Governor Johnson here today, a
statement prepared by Wilde, wherein
he charged that he was invited by a
former associate to "buy off" District
Attorney Cameron in Portland, was
read, and proved the real sensation of
the hearing.
Wilde himself was not present at the
hearing, but it was understood that he
would appear when wanted. However,
District Attorney Cameron, of Port
land, here in an effort to secure the
extradition of Wilde by the Governor,
was present and expressed indignation
at Wilde's statement.
Alleged Interview Told Of.
Wilde's statement purported to be an
Interview with Frank H. Stowe, of
Portland, a former associate. Stowe
was accused of saying that W. Cooper
Morris, cashier of the defunct bank,
now serving a term in the Oregon pen-
to put the. physician on the stand at ltentlary, demanded $10,000 for the pur-
the trial but Judge Morrow refused to
hear his testimony, unless the plaintiff

When the motion for a new trial came
up yesterday the company's attornevs
contended as basis for their application
that they should have been allowed to
put the doctor on the stand. Judge
Morrow held to his original view of
the question.

took place In San Diego, the present
home of Wilde. Wilde said in his state
ment that Stowe declared that. If Wilde
would "come through" with a certain
sum to him (Stowe), that District At
torney "Cameron can be fixed for 810.
000. and there will be no prosecution."
Wilde, according to his statement,
replied to Stowe's proposal by letter,
rejecting the offer, and concluding
with the words. "850,000 for Investiga
tion, but not 1 cent for tribute."
District Attorney Cameron, whon
asked for a statement concerning
Stowe's alleged proposal tc Wilde, said:
"The whole thing is preposterous. It
Is all Greek to me. I had never before
heard that there was any such letter
in existence, or knew that Stowe had
made any such proposal. Deny It Of
course, I deny it, up one side and down
the other.
"I don't think that I spoke to Stowe
between the time he appeared in the
Morris case and when he was before
the grand Jury in the Wilde case. 1
don't believe there is anything to it,
and I can't understand why Stowe
made any such statement.
"Tou can say for me, however, when
i return to .Portland, I am going to
have Mr. Stowe explain his actions and
Just what he meant by them."
Edward A. Luce, of counsel for Wilde,
did most of the talking against extra
dition. He charged bad faith on tho
part of District Attorney Cameron, and
asserted that the indictment was part
of a scheme to get Wilde within the
Jurisdiction of the Oregon courts, so
as to institute civil suits against him.
Moreover, feeling was said to be strong
against Wilde at Portland, endangering
the chances of a fair trial.
Wilde Ready to File Bond.
But, if the other parties would con

willing to file a 8100,000 bond for ap

any civil action. This bond would pro

Luce said, rather than submit tamely
to extradition, he and his associates,
Attorneys Charles Sumner, of San

land, were willing to disclose the case
of the defense inadvance.

It is charged that Wilde conspired
with others to purchase bonds selling
at a discount and unload them on the
bank at par.
A large number of letters, newspa
per clippings and affidavits were read
with a view to showing that criminal
proceedings were brought because
Wilde refused to settle with coin. Most
of them were from lawyers.
Much stress was laid by the attor
neys for Wilde on the fact that Morris,
whose confession led to the indictment
is now a convict. The grand Jury's bill
was described as the work of personal
enemies, using the criminal processes
to collect a civil debt.
WASHINGTON, July 3 8. Unaccount

water, steam, sand and small rocks to
a height of several hundred feet from
the hot spring in the Norris Baeln, in
Yellowstone National Park, have been

Those familiar with the park are un
able to explain the phenomenon. They
say that as the geysers have shown no
diminution in activity, the eruptions can
not be due to a diversion of steam and
hot water from the regular outlets.
