Confessing check forgeries to the number of nearly 100. aggregating about $3000 and covering several years. Dale F. Taylor, a youth recently re leased from the State Reformatory In Washington, cudgeled his brains yes terday aa he tried to write for Detec tives Epps and Taft a complete list of his victims. He had to abandon the task In an unfinished state, after fur nishing the police means to clear sev eral scores of caaea previously reported. Taylor wfca sentenced In Municipal Court yesterday to serve a year at the county rorkptle. The prisoner represented himself as a laborer with his weekly pay-check, which he offered at a saloon or store, usually Saturday night. All hla checks purported to have been drawn by a large employer of labor. The young man showed a misguided pride in his achievements, and smiled with pleasure aa he acknowledged that several different styles of script were all his work. A few of the checks were for amounts under IS. Nearly all the checks were for amounts In the neighborhood of 120. "SCAB'S" MISUSE ALLEGED Picket Seised Is Freed, Court Grant ing Time for New Rule. The first action of the police under Judge Taswell's ruling that the term "scab" cannot be applied lawfully to oM employes of a company withstand ing a strike, came yesterday when Pa trolman Sherwood, on reading a report of the ruling, proceeded to enforce It at the Alblna shops. P. A. Nordstrom, a persistent offender, according to the police, waa arrested for applying the abusive epithet to a machinist enter ing the gate. The arrest waa made on the initiative of the policeman, who called the ma chines! back to Identify Nordstrom. Three witnesses testified that Nord strom hal used the word, while he. admitting that he had hurled the terra at th machinist numerous times In the past, testified that he had not used It at the time at Issue. Judge Taswell held that the union men should have time allowed them to adjust themselves to the new con dition, and dismissed Nordstrom. He also addressed a warning to those In the courtroom, not to apply the word "scab" In the future to men who simply remained In their old positions when the strike began. Similar warning has been served by th police on pickets at th Alblna and Brooklyn shops. BRIDE TRAPS HER HUSBAND Young Man, Married Christmas, Charged With Non-Support. Married on Christmas day, Chester W. Pagett. aged 17 and a traveling aaleaman by profession, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Bulger on a warrant charging non-support Issued at the request of his wife, formerly Miss Cora M. Walker, of 1146 East Yamhill street. This Is the second time that Tagett has been arrested since taking the plunge Into the matrimonial sea. Less than two weeks ago he waa arrested by the police on warrants Issuing out of Justice Court charging the passing of fictitious checks. The young man's father came to Portland from Seattle and settled with th complaining witnesses In th check cases and the charges were not pressed. Pagett was found yesterday by Dep uty Sheriff Bulger In the lobby of a downtown hotel In conversation with his wife. Th woman had arranged the trap with the Deputy Sheriff after the latter had been searching for Pagett without success for two days. His re marks on discovering that he had been duped are described by Bulger as hav ing been more vehement than modest. "How the deuce can I support my wife when her father won't let me com near the house?" queried Pagett of the Deputy Sheriff. "He told m to go and pat iiwi ll ! moBUs.'.'. BIG MEN IN BOND FIRM Attorney Malarkey Gleans From Witness for Prosecution That Company's $230,000 Capi tal Stock Was Paid In. Contlnned From First Page.) Uredlt the testimony of Stow, ' as it developed on yesterday's cross-examination. Morris Kot to Plead Calltr. Speculation as to what disposition Is to be made of W. Cooper Morris, jointly Indicted with Wilde for tne em besslement charge on which Wilde Is being tried, lnereaaes as the trial of the case progresses. It has been pointed out that the case against Mor ris must be dismissed by the prosecu tion or he must plead guilty before he can testify for the state against Wilde. At the same time It Is known that Morris through his lawyers has apprised the prosecution that under no circumstances will be plead guilty to the Wllde-Morrls indictment. It is also known that Morris and his counsel have demanded that the state dismiss all tha pending criminal Indictments against him, some 16 or 16 In number. Including the one on which Wilde is being tried as well as the last Indict ment, recently preferred and charging Wilde and Morris with another em besslement Of about $12,500 of the tank's funds through a transaction involving the sale of bonds for the Tacoma Telephone Company. Agresneat' Nat Iadleated. Dally conferences have been held by counsel for Morris with District At torney Cameron and Special Prosecutor Clark this week but neither side will discuss the real status of these ne gotiations. There is every Indication that a satisfactory agreement has not been reached. This was evidenced yesterday when the state obtained the introduction as vldenc through Stow, another witness for the prosecution, of several letters written by Wilde to Morris, showing Intimate friendly relations be tween them at the time the Omaha telephone bond deal with the Oregon Trust was being negotiated. This pro cedure by the prosecution Is construed as pressure to force Morris to plead guilty to the Indictment In the pending trial of Wilde and become a witness for tha state. It Is said to have been perpetrated for the purpose -of Impress ing on Morris the fact that much of the evidence the stat has been relying upon from him can be Introduced with out bis becoming a witness. Morris May Want Clean Slate. Morris, however. Is said to be stand ing firmly and the statement of his counsel that he positively will not plead guilty Is taken as assurance that he will not testify In the case unless all the Indictments against him have been dismissed by the state and he Is given a clean bill so far aa his alleged criminal operations In connection with the Oregon Trust are concerned. With all these lndlotments disposed of. It Is said Morris Is entirely willing to take his chances of obtaining executive consideration and a material reduc tion of the six year" penitentiary sen tence he now is serving under con viction for a former embesslement of the funds of the bank. Big Ma la Company. Earlier in the afternoon Mr. ' key. In his cross-examination of Stow, sought to develop the fact that the Union Construction Company was a substantial corporation, organised and operated In good faith. He gained the admission from Stow that virtually all of the 1350.000 capital stock of the con cern was subscribed snd paid In when th company entered Omaha and began Installing a telephone plant early in 17 -Th stockholders In the company Mr Malarkey showed by Introducing as evidence a printed list of names, con sisted of prominent business men and capitalists of Portland and Southern California. Admission of the list of stockholders was firmly resisted by Mr. Fitsgerald and Mr. Clark, who alleged that It waa Incompetent, Irrelevant and not proper cross-examination, but their objections were overruled. .., Pursuing this line of questioning further, Mr. Malarkey got before the lury statements by Stow to the effect that Wilde, at a meeting of the direc tors of the Union Telephone Construc tion Company, of which board Stow was n member, early In 1907. waa given au thority to sell for the company a f 50. 000 block of Omaha telephone bonds. Wilde Anthoriaed to Sell. Stow was unable definitely to fix the date of this meeting, but his memory was refreshed by the Introduction by the defense of a letter from r. F. Graves, president of the company, to Wilde, apprising Wilde that he had been authorlxed to make the sale. In this letter Graves fixed the time of the directors' meeting as February 15. 1907. At that time definite authority was given Wilde to proceed with the sale of the $500,000 block of bonds to any one concern or syndicate at a price of 80 cents net to the bank. Another letter, dated June JO. 1107, from Stow to Wilde, was identified by the witness and admitted over the ob jections of the state. It detailed the progress on the Installation of the Omaha telephone plant, reporting that one-third of the underground system had been finished and that this part of the work -would be completed In an other thre months. The letter also re ported that contracts had been closed for 1181 telephones. Stow concluded his communlc4tl with the remark that "Omaha Is an Ideal situation for an independent telephone plant." aaery an Failure Barred. Stow said that the construction com pany received from the Oregon Trust only $75,000, or the first three pay ments on th purchase price of the bonds, and that when It closed Its doors In August, 1907. there was owing the oompany, Including Interest, about $S27.000. The other certificates of de posit, said Stow, were then brought to Portland by S. A. Reed, treasurer of the company, and tendered to the bank In exchange for telephone bonds to that amount, but the oner was rejecieo. 1 Air.

The Deputy District Attor ney said it was the contention of the state that it made absolutely no differ ence what the bonds sold to the bank were worth. Coart t'pholde State. Counsel for the defense insisted that It had the right to develop the cross examination to the extent of the value of the bonds and to show how that value was affected by the failure of the bank. These facts, urged Mr. Ma larkey, by the defense might be estab lished even subsequent to the date the bank closed Its doors. After extended argument. Judge Kavanaugh sustained the objection and terminated that plan of examination by holding that al though It would be admlssable as a de fense It was not proper cross-examination. Stow also admitted that he knew Walter H. Moore, president of the Ore gon Trust, accompanied Morris to Los Angeles and San Diego at the time Wilde received authority to Bell the bonds of the Construction Company, the evident purpose being to show that the arrangement was not consummated be tween Wilde and Morris alone, but that It was known to Moore, who was also a stockholder In the company offering the bonds for sale. Effort by the defense to obtain the Introduction, through Stow, of letters from Morris to Wilde, written In the same period as the letters from Wilde to Morris, which were admitted, from the prosecution In the mornins session, was blocked by Judge Kavanaugh on objection by the state. letters Not Revealed. Mr. Malarkey contended that the documents offered tended to qualify and explain the friendly feeling exist ing at the time between Wilde and Morris and which were so apparently reflected In the letters written by Wllda to Morris and admitted as evi dence. But Judge Kavanaugh ruled that al though the letters were proper- for In troduction as a defense, they were not admlssable In the cross-examination of Stow, who was the state's witness. The examination of Mr. Stow was resumed by Mr. Clark, of the prosecu tion, when court resumed yesterday morning and the state undertook to have the witness correct his testimony of the night before, when he told of the division of the commission Wilde received from the bond sale. Stow had testified that of the $100,000 commis sion. $10,000 went to the Construction Company, $50,000 to Wilde and $40,000 to Morris. "I was under that Impression." said Stow, "until June. 1911. when I called on Morris at the penitentiary and learned from him that $90,000 of the commission waa divided equally . be tween him and Wilde. Later I was called before the District Attorney and not only related what Morris had told me but Incorporated the facts In an affidavit which I made for the state In connection with the extradition of Wilde from California." Record Ordered Changed. On objection of Mr. Malarkey, Judge Kavanaugh. following argument by op posing counsel, ordered this part of Btow's testimony Btrlcken from the rec. ords and instructed the Jury to disre gard It entirely. Mr. Malarkey ob jected to the testimony for the reason that It was hearsay evidence. He In sisted that the defense wanted Morris to appear In court and testify under oath rather than to have his state ments given in prison Introduced into the case as evidence through a third person. The cross-examination of Stow by Mr. Malarkey will be resumed at 9:30 o'clock this morning. In the morning session the state, over the. objection of the defense, ob tained the Introduction of a number of letters written by Wilde to Morris early in 1907, the purpose being to show the friendly relations between them. The letters served to show that Wilde at the time was negotiating with the Union Telephone Construction Com pany for a contrast authorizing him to act as its agent in the sale of the telephone bonds for the Omaha plant, and that he was keeping Morris fully advised of the progress of his plans. Letter Is Humorous. Shortly before the contract was ob tained, Wilde wrote Morris advising him of the fact, and added that if the deal were finally consummated there would be left nothing to do but "to count the money." In another letter telling of the possibilities of earning big profits under the contract, Wilde wrote Morris that he would be tempted to spend some of the money for "a seal skin union suit." Other similar expres sions were employed by Wilde, who showed pronounced originality as a letter writer.

The advantages of the commission form of government, and the provisions of the charter proposed by the official charter commission, were explained by City Attorney Grant before South Port land residents at the meeting of the South Portland Boosters' Club at St. Lawrence Hall Thursday night. After outlining the present form of governments explaining that it Is con ducted under legislative, executive and the judicial departments Mr. Grant ex plained why he thinks the commission form would be an improvement over It.
