th first time the wife and hushand
had met einre the latter" arrest In
Annual, but neither showed any sign
of recoRnlllon.
AVemea Puralni Moaey.
She testified that phe had raised most
of th money tisJ for the defense of
her husband, but admitted that an
other woman, who she said was the
mother of another of Mrl'avlt's chil
dren, had also contributed to the fund.
Mel'aTlt's own testimony closed the
case.
"1 am Innocent of the crime that Is
charced In thla complaint." he said.
"Most of what she told was true, but
he was a willing party."
Or. J. A. Manrhe. whose office ad
joins that of McDavltt. then took the
witness stand and told of what he saw
of the girls life In the little room ad
Joining MrDevlt's office for 18 months.
"I thought they were s-lvtne- the child
opiates." he testified, referring to Miss
MrDonald's baby. "It never cried and
the room was like a tomb. No sound
ever came out and I often wondered If
that lonely girl and her baby were still
allve."
Atteraey Fltlleaa.
With a pitiless directness that
searched her Innermost soul and
hrouirht murmurs of sympathy from the
throng of women wtio made up the ma
jority of the trial audience. Attorney
t'ampbell cross-examined today Miss
McDonald.
(ioina bark to the beginning; of ber
acquaintance with Mrpavlt five years
ito, Campbell forced ill's McDonald to
admit that after the dentist, who was
treating- her teeth at the time, bad
threatened to kiss her If she bit blm.
ner teeth bad closed down on bla fin
re r.
"Hut I did not mean to bite him." she
-rled. The girl told, sobblngly. of a
tattle she do-lured she had with the
lentlst and of bavins; been overcome
r his strength, and then soothed by
the "love light In his eyes" and the
tenderness of his voice.
"I was a good girl." she added, werp
:n. "If you were In that room for li
months," went on Campbell, "as an
unwilling prisoner, why did you not
try to escape?"
f.lrl la Fear. a aya.
"I was afraid of him," the girl re
plied. "I thought If 1 appealed for
help he would take me away and I
would never be heard of attain. lie
was going to take me away the week
In which papa fcund and rescued me."
Attorney Campbell centered bla ef
fort on an attempt to show that Miss
McDonald, madly Infatuated, pursued
the dentist and elicited from the wit
ness statements that tended to show
Mtsa McDonalds mother knew of the
lUus'Jer'n relation with McDavlt aev
eral 'cars tun and bad kept the
knowledge secret from the girl's
father, a well-known contractor of
San Bernardino. Mtsa McDonald, how
ever, vehemently denied that aha had
sought the dentist.
"Hut he made love to me." she de
clared. McDavlt'a counsel then sought to
demonstrate to the lurv that If aha re
mained In the room next McDavlt'a
dental office she did so willingly.
"You were near a telephone all the
time, were you not?" asked Campbell
of the Klrl. "The telephone was In
McDavlt'a office. Why did you not use
It to summon help If you wanted to
escape?"
"1 waa afraid of Dr. McDavlt." tha
witness replied slmplv. "Besides I de
pended on his promise to divorce his
wife and marry roe."
Miss McDonald completed her story
on cross-examination this afternoon.
The court declined to admit as evi
dence letters said to have been writ
ten by Miss McDonald to McDavlt be
fore her Imprisonment, on plea of the
defense.
PORTLAND MAY BE BASE
rian Talked for Kali Officials Here
to Handle Seattle Traffic.
Arranaements are made to place the
traffic on the O.-W. K. & N. line be
tween I'ortland and Seattle, which al
ways has been handled from Seattle,
under the direct control of officials la
Portland.
R. It M!!ler. traffic manager, and
William McM'irrav. general passenger
pent of tlie O.-W. It. tc S. Company.
- J yesterday In Seattle and It Is
understood that they went there for
the purpose of makinH-plana for tha In
auguration of this change.
While Mr. Miiler already exercises
Jurisdiction over traffic on this portion
of tie system the detailed freight and
passenger business Is bandied bv W. IX
Skinnrr. of Seattle, with rank as gen
eral freight and passenger agent.
Before the recent reorganization of
the llarrlman system the operation of
tlie Portland-Seattle line also was
handled from Seattle, but now all op
erating business is done In Portland. A
similar change In the traffic arrange
ment would be a natural one.
The pian discussed by officials In this
city Is to give Mr. Mc.Murray charge of
passenger traffic and Frank W. Robin
son, general freight agent, charge of
freight traffic en thla line and to main
tain Mr. Skinner's office in Seattle with
the title of assistant general freight
and paser.ger agent. It Is probable
that the change will be made December
1. but It may be delayed until the first
of tlie year.

LEGISLATOR DEFENDS VIEW
Democratic Majority ladcr In
House Backs Present Repre
sentative Government In the
United States In Speech.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. Nov. "3. In de
fense of the present representative
Oovernment of this country. Repre
sentative Oscar W. Underwood, the
Democrpatle majority leader In the
House, spoke tonight at a dinner given
In his honor by the Birmingham Cham
ber of Commerce.
"It Is Droposed by some," said Mr.
Cnderwood. "that we In part abandon
the representative Government enacted
by our revolutionary fathers and adopt
a system that in the end would estab
lish a direct democracy when the ulti
mate powera to make laws would be
placed directly In the hands of all the
people and the independent Judiciary,
Intended to protect the Constitutional
guarantees of the Individual liberty
would become subservient to the will
of the majority through political com- i
pulsion-" I
Mr. rnderwood declared there was j
far less danger of enacting hasty. 111- ,
c isldered legislation under the pres
ent than under the proposed Initiative
and referendum.
He admitted that the latter scheme
had worked out satisfactorily In some i
local matters when the distinct issue
was clearly understood. He contended,
however, that the people's representa
tives were better able to protect their
Interests on National matters.

IF the show shopper who takes In
"The Commuters" at the Heilig
doesn't take on considerable flesh. It
will be only because that old saying
"Laugh and grow fat." has no longer
any foundation In truth. For verily
"The Commuters" Is a laugh provoca
tive, and folk rejoice accordingly, . fof
where Uvea he who Is not more eager
to smile out loud than to concern him
self uselessly over some ethical prob
lem? About 0 per cert of the audience
did not know what a commuter was. or
is, when the curtain went up last night.
When It fell they had Joined the 40 per
cent who had full cognizance and ap
preciation of the Joys and sorrows
doled out to the gleeful suburbanite
who runs blithely for his car at morn
and night.
James Forbes has written a farcical
comedy that possesses the novelty of
exploiting the Inconveniences of living
"at the edge of the city;" he has treat
ed the subject with the skill and re
sourcefulness of a trained comedy
writer, and the finished whole la pre
sented br n excellent company of
players snd staged with an eye to
please. And It pleases in capital let
ters. It's all about a perfectly nice man
and wife who have taken a tiny Queen
Anne menage at the furthest end of
the suburban carline. After one par
ticularly liquid evening, the husband
returns .In the email hours, bringing;
slong his friend and boon companion.
Sonny Fletcher, whom he stores in the
guest chamber.
Next morning. In the "gab f est" that
ensues, he has no recollection of the
guest he has brought to his home and
his lnhospltality la only recalled to
him Just as the train whistles the last
train, the missing of which means trou
ble. So the friend Is left to pop in on
Mrs. Commuter and scare her out of a
years growth. Since there are no
other trains. Sammy remains snd helps
enliven a meeting of the Suburban
Ladles' Repose and Culture Club. A
maid whose prior service at Chllds has
given her superior airs and ambitions
. -t,.r.n to "a Dlace where everybody
was o friendly," adds hilarity with her
familiar manners, usurping of Mrs.
Commuter's authority and finally, after
one grand round, her shrieked resigna
tion. "I throw up me Job. I II worK, an
work hard, but Gawa Knows
dynamo." -
Then, since there are no -eai m i"
house" and It Is Saturday ariernoou
. b.t. rinil Mrs. Com
ma me niai n.v . - -
muter puts on her bonnet and makes
the round oi me numea i .u
muters, borrowing the nucleus of a
dinner. When she returns a note
says: "We've gone to tne ciuo ior um
ner." Just how Mrs. Commuter gets
even constitutes the rest of the story,
and for those who have yet to aee It,
there's no fair telling. Anyway the
ending is highly satisfactory, and the
.n. rt it ontAlla a. great deal of
shaking of sides with laughter.
Those oiten overwui ivou iuiub, "
situations, are ludicrous and the fun of
the farce is well maintained. Occa
sionally, as might be surmised. It turns
. i i Kiit no nn analyzes
to near-uui icnii -
when he's spreading his face from ear
to ear In an unaisiumeu enu. auu
anvwav. the very exaggerations of the
players Is fun-making. '
Once the comedy gets serious and
threatens Indeed It all but does,
preach a tiny little sermoe to hus
bands who stay out at night, and Just
as the audience has become thoroughly
convinced that it'a wrong to laugh In
this world, the tension Is broken by the
observing and cynical Sammy, who has
that cheerful and welcome position In
the family row, as the general goat.
Harry Davenport, in the role of
Sammv, gets all the fun possible out of
a part that overflows with Joy, His
antics In the dove cote are reminis
cent of that proverbial bull in the
china shop, and his efTorts to squeeze
things are painfully funny.

pathetic interpretation of the role.
Florence Malone, an animated Mra.
Newlywed, and mighty attractive at
that, makes an interesting Mrs. Com
muter. Amy Lesser is Carrie, who
"wishea she was back at Che-i-lds,'
and of whom Mrs. Commuter says. "A
maid is such a relief, I don't care
where she sleeps, I'd even let her sleep
on the cherished lawn." As an assist
ant c6mmuter, Frederick Malcolm
scores, and Karra Kenwyn, as a par
lor lecturer, is a delicious type of
femininity. The rest of the support Is
highly adequate. All the dialogue
fairly sparkles and put into the
mouths of these players results In a
comic supplement humor of more or
less widespread common knowledge.
