I either delivered "the bonda peraoaally to Mr. Wilde's office or I turned them over to aomebody who came from hie office, I would not eay positively which." In the cross-examination of Estes. Mr. Malarkey Immediately launched Into the details of the purchase of the VIedford Crater Lake Railroad and Ita reorganisation aa the Pacific Kastero by Estes for a syndicate con sisting of Walter H. Moore, Morris, Dr. 8. W. Btryker and Eatea. Thla prop erty was purchased, admitted Estes. at a receiver's salo and waa paid for with certificates of deposit for IL 100. and a cashier's check for 11000. Is sued by the Oregon Trust, which later received f 100.000 of the company's bonds at SS cents. These bonds were In the possession of the bank when . It suspended. " It also developed In tha cross-examination that Estes waa president of . the Eatacada State Bank, which deliv ered to the Oregon Trust two eertlfl- ; cates of deposit, aggregating 141.250, and for which It received 150,000 of bonds of tha Pacific tt Eastern, to off set the certificates of deposit Issued by the Oregon Trust to finance tha pur chase by Estes and his associates of tha railroad property. These) certificates of deposit, belonging to tha Estacada In- ' stltutlon. were In the Oregon Trust when It closed Its doors. Mr. Malarkey directed, tha attention of the witness to the civil suit subse quently filed against Estes and others, and which la now on appeal before the State Supreme Court, In which the rail road promoters were charged with a conspiracy to defraud the Oregon Trust. Counsel referred to the fact that Judg ment was rendered aa prayed for in the complaint, and asked witness If the failure of the defendanta to furnish a stay bond did not render him and the other defendanta liable to execution proceedings by the receiver of the Ore gon Trust, whose attorney waa A. E. Clark, also special prosecutor In the Wilde trial. Estea Insisted that exe cution bad lasued against tha defend anta. The purpose of Mr. Malarkey In this Tlan of examination waa to ahow that , Estea had every reason to feel friendly toward the prosecution In the pending case, bnt this theory was exploded when Estes said execution had issued. The witness supplemented this state ment by declaring that he was striving not to antagonise either aide In the case on trial. Wltaeaa la for Wilde. Estes admitted to Mr. Malarkey that while be waa In charge of the bond de partment ha maintained a card Index system by which he kept a complete record of all bonda purchased, sold and delivered by tne bank. Without thla record, which disappeared ahortly after the bank was taken In charge by Re rrlver Levlin. Estes said he could not testify positively as to any specific bond transaction. - Estea aald the last . time he saw this record waa In July, ' 107. when he bad occasion to examine the bank records In search of I2S.O0O worth of bonda belonging to a bank at . Drain, which had disappeared and could cot be found. Counsel for the defense then asked Kstes concerning a conversation. In Mrti he had made some pointed re marks touching on the approaching trial of Wilde. I!d you not say. In an Interview with me. Inquired Mr. Malarkey. "that you sympathised with Wilde?" "I certainly aald my sympathies were with Wilde," replied Estea. Did you not also, in tne same con versation, say that you believed Wilde waa being persecuted and not prose cuted?" I dJd." "Is it not a fact that you also said that the prosecution of Wilde was only ' an attempt to get money out of Wilde?" "1 did not make that etatement In our conversation then, but I do say ao now. Bead Sale Cpbeld. Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald registered an objection to further cross-examination of thla character, and the court sustained the objection, and at the same time ordered stricken from the record the last answer of the wlt , ness. which waa construed aa purely an opinion by him. Later In Lis cross-examination Estes said he waa positive there was nothing wrong In the sale of the bonds to ' Wilde, and waa equally satisfied now that there was nothing Improper In tha transaction. The further questioning of Estes by Mr. Malarkey will be re sumed this afternoon. W. Cooper Morris waa not finally ' excused from the witness stand until 1.4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. In th last 15 minutes of his examination he was confronted with the task of Identifying one of two letters, written on the sam date, February It. 1907. dealing with the same subject and bearing his slgnatauret Both letters apparently had been written by Morris to Wilde and th subject under dls rul"n was the business enjoyed by the Oregon Trust. Indicating that Ita financial condition was such aa to en able It to consider desirable Invest ments In bonds and other securities. Earlier In the day. the state Intro duced what purported to be a letter press copy of tha original letter from Morris ta Wilde. This waa Identified positively by Morris aa a copy of the original communication. He also testi fied with th same degree of positive noes that only one letter of that char acter was written on that date. Daplleate" Letters Differ. During the cross-examination of Morris. Jay Bowerman, for the defense. Introduced what was said to be the These are busy days for the Tht.r. with a matinee and eater, with a matinee and naratlon. The support of preparation. The support of Tyson will sing "My Dusky Rose." Edgar original of the Morrls-Wllde letter. Counsel for the defense had the wit ness compare the two lettera and Inti mated that it was singular that the words "having passed the 11.000.000 mark." which appeared In the allowed original copy, should be missing In the copy offered by the state. These words In the original followed the ex pression. "We are doing very well In Portland." the completed sentence, urged Bowerman. being significant as ahowlng the Increase In deposits In the Oregon Trust and Intending to Impress on Wilde the ability of the Institution to subscribe for the Omaha telephone bonds then contemplated by Morrla. Questioned concerning the two let ters. Morris said he could only explain the apparent duplication of letters from the fact that after he had written the first letter, on February 19. he might have made some corrections and sent it back to the atenographer to re write and that she failed to make a letter-press copy of the revised 'tt'r This, he said, would account for the slight discrepancy -In the two communi cations and the possession by tide or one and by him of the other. Exhibits Duplicated Before. Although the difference between the two letters was not great, that some words were missing from the alleged letter-press copy presented by the state, which were contained In the al leged original, offered by the defense, attracted attention from the fact that duplication of exhibits In the case al ready haa appeared. This Is true with respect to the by-laws of the original Orogon Savings Bank, of which each side has Introduced an alleged original draft- There has also been raised a question by Frank H. Stow, a witness for the state, aa to the genuineness of the bond-subscription book. Intro duced by the defense and showing about SO subscribers to the Omaha tel ephone bond Issue at the aame time Morris subscribed for the 500.000 block. . The motive Morris had In pleading guilty to the Morrls-Wllde indictment and becoming a witness for the prose cution waa considered at the morning session In the re-direct examination of the ex-cashler by Mr. Clark. Morris adhered firmly to his testimony on di rect examination when he said his course waa Influenced entirely, by the advice of lifelong and Intimate friends, who had recommended that he make a clean breast of everything he knew and not by any other consideration. He denied that he ever had received from the state any promise of Immunity and said he had not talked with any of the lawyers connected with the prosecution prior to last October, subsequent to his Indictment and hie conaultatlon with frlenda. Ceaveraatlea Xet Re ness fee red. It evidently is the purpose of the de fense to call witnesses to refute that part of Morris" testimony In which he Insisted that he had not been promised Immunity or other consideration from the prosecution for his testimony against Wilde. Thla was apparent yesterday when Mr. Malarkey. Just be fore concluding his flrst cross-examination of Morris, asked the witnesa If he did not remember a conversation with A. E. Reamea. of Medford. on the . inrH, was indicted. In Oc tober. 110. In which he told Reames that the proaecutlon had been "after you to give up aomethlng against .i-hjm . n I. . Xf rrr m t A the ttmO uuv iu . . ; - that be "did not have anything to give up against Wilde." Morris said at the time he was ex cited and worrying abont other mat ters and did not remember ever hav ing had such a conversation with Reamea. Morris was then asked con cerning a conversation with Dr. J. F. Reddy. also of Medford. In the office of Alex Sweek In Portland, about two weeks ago. after the trial of Wilde was begun. In anawer to questions by Mr. Malarkey. Morris denied that he had told Dr. Reddy on this occaalon that he "could get out of this caae If he would plead guilty In the caae now on trial and give testimony for the prose cution." Morris admitted having had a conversation with Dr. Reddy at the time tndicated and said he might have remarked that the lawyer for the prosecution wanted him to plead guilty, but he denied that he told the Medford man that he did not know anything against Wilde, -Hotel Bill Broaia-ht Referring to Morris first visit to Portland, after he besran aervlng his sentence at the State Penitentiary, Mr. Malarkey took up In detail the bill presented to the county and covering the expenses of Morris daring his three weeks' sojourn at tha Carlton Hotel. Mr Malarkey ahowed that the bill amounted to nearly 1300. or about IS a day during the time Morris waa In the city. It waa shown that the cost of the room occupied by Morris, with pri vate bath and telephone, waa $4 a day. Instead of J a day. as testified by Mor rla the day before. The bill contained, among other Items, a charge for tailor and $4.40 for telephone messages. The purpose of the testimony manifestly waa to ahow that under the circum stances of such considerate treatment by the prosecution, Morris might have been influenced In the testimony he sras giving In the case. On cross-examination yesterday Mor ris identified aa hia own signature the entry of "Syndicate of the Oregon Trust Savlnga Bank and Ave other banks." In the bond subscription book for Omaha telephone bonds for the en tire block of 1500.000 of these securi ties, which were afterwarda purchased by the Oregon TruaL . TMerrta Ce aire dicta Stew. Thla direct Identification by Morrla repudiated the testimony of Frank H. Stow, another material witness for the state, who testified that the signature and writing of the entry in the sub scription book was not that of Morris. Stow further testified that he did not believe the bond subscription book of fered in evidence by the defense waa the same record book exhibited to Stow - as,, .in at i .,tVt,1! sriisssislill II ' 1 l"' s-sl"l lIlWati-asajsamTsasshairaliSl I I - LMATKVR BLACK-FACE ARTISTS . . . ,. students or Lincoln ?c"ouVr nlgm penor both Washlr nlgnt penormance on '"- both JVashington and Jefferson High cnoo,s ""nhiAtnTeuc Association, will by Wilde In Los Angeles at the time the subscriptions were belntr signed up. On redirect examination by Mr. Clark. Morris said he did not notify the District Attorney's office of his conclusion to plead guilty and tell everything he knew In connection with the bond transaction on which the In dictment of Morris and Wilde was based until last October. He first dis cussed the situation with Stow and later with ex-United States Senator Piles and Mrs. Lydla M. Jackson, sister of Morris. Finally he sent for his law yer. Judge Gordon, of Tacoma. who was authorised by Morris to convey word to the District Attorney's office that If he was given sufficient time to look over the books and records of the bank he would become a witness against Wilde and tell everything he knew concerning the Omaha telephone bond transaction. Bond Deal Recounted. About a week later, testified Morris, be was brought to the District Attor ney's office and. In the presence of the District Attorney. Special Prosecu tor Clark. Expert Accountant Rlchardr aon and Warden Curtla, made a general statement regarding the bond deal and then began an Investigation of the bank recorda. Referring to the indictments pond ing against Morris. Mr. Clark showed that alx of the 11 of the accusatory papers alleged that Morris and, other officers of the bank received deposits August 15 and August 17. a few days before the bank closed Its doors, know ing the bank to be Insolvent He then showed that at the time the alleged deposits were received and for two weeks prior thereto.,. Morris had been In New York City, armed with securi ties of the bank to the value of 1. 000.000 In an effort to raise sufficient funds to tide the bank over the crisis It waa facing. Contending that the only time any so-called "syndicate" existed In which Morris and Wilde were associated for the purchase of bonds was In 1906. when through them the Oregon Trust Invested In 1400.000 of bonds of the Puget Sound Telephone Company, Mr. Clark learned from Morris that of those bonds the several banks said by the defense to be Interested In the proposed syndicate for taking over the SS00.000 of Omaha telephone aecurltles, had Invested In Puget Sound telephone bonds, obtained from the Oregon Trust, the full amount of this class of se curities they were permitted to have.

Deputy District Attorney Fltsgerald aald yesterday that he would renew his request for a dismissal of all the pending Indictments against W. Cooper Morris. A similar request submitted to Presiding Judge Gatens earlier In the week was refused by him. Just before court adjourned yester day. Judge Kavanaugh announced that hla term aa Presiding Judge would be gin this morning, but that until the trial of the Wilde case was concluded, all subjects properly coming before him In that capacity would be attended to temporarily by hla associate. Judge Morrow. In the morning session yesterday. Dsn J. Malarkey, chief of counsel for the defense, waa taken 111 and he was obliged to turn over the cross-xam-Inatlon of the state's witnesses to his associate. Jay Bowerman. Mr. Ma larkey recovered sufficiently late In the afternoon, however, to resume the questioning of the witnesses. PORTLAND TO WIN ZONE Orovtlle Banker Says Kennevrick Road 1V1I1 Bo Link.

When that la completed, there will remain a gap of only 120 miles to be built between Wenatchee and Ken newlck to give Northeastern Wash ington a railroad Into Portland on a water grade. ' "Business Is somewhat quiet In our section, while we are waiting for the railroad at Wenatchee to be opened," said Mr. Work, yesterday. "Our princi pal Industry at present Is livestock, but our people are beginning to spe cialise In commercial fruitgrowing to some extent, and the benches east of Orovllle are producing fine crops of grain. At present our only outlet is to Spokane, and In the first IS miles the road has to climb through an ele vation of 1700 feet. "The Improved transportation facil ities that we will have as soon as tha railroad to Wenatchee la completed, will be a great benefit to our part of the country, but we expect even more benefit when the road Is extended down the river to Kennewlck. when we can ship our products Into Portland on a water grade.

JUVENILE CARE DISCUSSED Education of Parents Declared as Important as Guiding of Boys. System of Courts for Moral Correction Is Assailed. Willis Brown, ex-Judge of the Juve nile Court of Salt Lake City, Utah, now assistant superintendent of the public schools of Gary, Ind.. speaking under the auspices of the Oregon Con gress of Mothers, criticised the boy scout movement In his addiess.at the White Temple Tuesday night oh "The Kid of the Shack and the Boy of the Palace." He said the Juvenll Courts ought to be abolished, and that paren tal courts should be esabllshed In their places. He argued for the establlshmint of a school of morals In connection with the public school system, where Im moral children can be separated from those with whom they have been -tso-clatlng. and taught upright habits of life. This is being done In Gary. He urged that If a child can no taken from the custody of the parent for five hours a day to give It an edu cation, the state may take custody for an Indefinite period In order to estab. llsh correct morals In the child's life.

"I met a man who was organising some Indian Scouts In a Chautauqua back in Illinois." said Mr. Brown, last night. 'The boys were dancing around dressed In true Indian fashion. I said to him. "Did you ever want to be an Indian when you were a kldT " 'No. " 'Well, what do you want these kids to be Indians for?" 'Because they like It,' said the or ganizer. "But they don't. If you don't or ganize boy scouts, what will happen? If you have to use a rorce pump to keep It np, what do you keep It up for? If you have to make a boy square by giving him a uniform, we had bet ter change our apparel for men and give them uniforms. "When those boys grow up they will be citizens, and there Is nothing quite as attractive for boys as to play a real game of citizenship. I think we would have a better citizenship in Portland If the kids of the state would organize the men Into scouts. I let no man handle my boy who Is not as dean Inside and outside aa my boy Is. I don't care If the man Is a school teacher. "The majority of the boy problems discussed today are manufactured from the Imagination of some man who was an abnormal boy, or some woman who never was a boy. The chief attrac tion of the solution to this Imagined problem Is that the solution Is new. These schemes cause more delinquent boys than they save. Boys are boys, not Indians, or knights, or scouts or nobles. It's nothing but a confidence game on boys to get up a lot of frills, degrees, pow-wows and unlforma to attract them Into a scheme to teach morals. "The boy who puts his Intellect against the whole police force of a city shows more real courage than many a lad who never disobeyed a command." Parole System Ceaanred. Ex-Judge Brown said the child onght never to be taken Into court. The state, be said, ought to temporarily re move the Immoral boy to the state's custody with or without the parents' consent, after the matter has been duly explained to them. The parole system he severely censured. " "Do you think It right to let a boy violate a law, with no punishment whatever following, and to return him to the same school to contaminate pure minded children?" he asked. He as sailed the maintenance of the Deten tion Home. He said the Detention Home In Seat tle when he visited It contained chil dren ranging In ages from 4 to IS. and of all degrees of morals. Speaking of parental training, he said: "You teach the children courtesy by carving the tenderest piece of beef steak for yourself, giving the children the ends and your wife the bone. Why do boys smoke? Don't whip your boy for smoking If you smoke, unless you can convlnco him your body Is strong er than his and better able to withstand the poison." Drift In College Education.

Published to the contrary notwith standing. J. D. Farrell, president of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, believes that the new railroad bridge across the Willamette In Portland will be com pleted on May 1. the date originally set by Waddell & Harrington, constructing engineers. Work on the construction of the lift span now is under way. This Is the only portion of the great structure that remains to be completed. As all the steel to be used In this span Is either on the ground or on board the cars on their way to Portland, It is entirely probable that the bridge will be fin ished In the three months remaining between now and May 1. President Farrell said yeaterday that he will be ready within a few days to begin negotiations with those intend ing to use the bridge, including the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany and the city and county. The traction company has not formally no tified the O.-W. R. & N. Company that It desires to use the bridge, but all ar rangements for using it have been made. In the preliminary discussions the price that the railroad company will charge or that the traction company Is willing to pay has not been mentioned. Mr. Farrell says he has not figured the rental that he will ask the county to pay for use of the upper deck. The County Court has reconsidered its decision to close the old bridge to vehicle traffic today. Instead, the up per decking of the bridge will be re placed. It is estimated that this will cost about 11700, of which the county will bear 0 per cent and the railroad company 4he remainder. "With tH Rose Festival and the Elks' convention coming on we cannot afford to take any chances of having too few bridges to acomodate the traf fic" said Judge Cleeton. "Anyway, to keep the Steel bridge closed for ap proximately six months would work a hardship on orainary trainc xn me of a bridge deck varies from a year to 18 months, so we will not be out much in any event."

Wilcox Emphasizes Ne cessity of Opening Market In Far East From Here In Order to Increase Business. Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the Portland Flouring Mills, addressing tne Portland Ad Club at its luncheon yes terday at the Portland Hotel on "Mak ing a Market for Flour,", emphasized the necessity of opening direct lines from Portland to the Orient and devel oping the market In China and Japan. "The price of wheat on the Pacific Coast Is not fixed by the Liverpool morVat" b said, "but by what the Chinese and Japanese will pay for flour. "We are deluding ourselves with the idea that Portland is a great export ing center, by taiKing oi our sn shipments of wheat and flour. This is .. tnt. wa tifiva m outlet for our produce except by way of the Puget Sound cities, and we are now no uik getting direct transportation than we were 20 years ago. We must have a direct line across to our market In the Orient before we can expect our business to assume the proportions to which we are entitled." Mr. Wilcox spoke urgently for the Anincy ,m nf thn wheat-firrowlnar sec tions of Central Oregon, saying that It was jiosslble by the development of that section to Increase the output of Oregon wheat irom ou.uuu io xuu.uuw bushels. Carl R. Gray, president of the Hill lines in Oregon, spoke after the ad dress of Mr. Wilcox, eulogizing Wil liam Hanley as the true type of the progressive Oregonlan. Mr. Hanley was present at the meeting as a guest of honor and was elected to member ship in the club. An offer from the Multnomah Hotel of accommodation for Ad Club luncheons In the new building was submitted, but action upon the question was deferred until next meet ing. C. C. Chapman. William McMur ray and Tom Richardson were appoint ed to represent the Ad Club In enter tainment of the Seattle excursion Sat urday. George I Baker will preside at the meeting next week, at which the pro gramme will be turned over to the Elks. A big delegation of Elks will be In attendance. The chairman at yes terday's meetinj was F. L Shull, of the Portland Flouring Mills Company. Business Interests in Germany.
