The state objected to the admission
.f the conversation between Hicks and
Punn on the (round that whatever
was said by Mlcka waa probably a elf.
ernar statement, at least a mlnuta
and probably a greater lenerth of tlma
navtnc elapsed from the Arms' of the
hot which killed Wort man till fttinn
- arrived. The testimony of Farl Griffin,
another of the states witnesses, had
oa that ha (Grtffln had heard the
shot and that he had walked nearly
in feet to the front of the Markell
store and. after learning that aomeone
had been ahot. had rushed to the cor
ner of Grand avenue and Eat Mor
rlaon street, a half block or more
away, to notify potrolman Hunn. the
cronlnr orricer. Bunn said that he
ran to the Markell store.
The defense- maintained that state
menta made by H'cka to the police
man were a part of the rea ireatae. or
the facta laically material to the nw,

ant had not yet reached the atata of
mind which would make It possible

Tha testimony of Patrolman Binn
it a distinct disappointment to the
stata. so much so that on redirect ex
amination Special Prosecutor Davis'
questions were United with a aua-srea-tlon
of savagery. Bunn said that
when ha arrived at the .Marked store
entrance. Hicks was standing with hla
back aa-alnet the alas" on the west
ldr of the entrance alcove and waa
'acini; In a general northeasterly dl
ectlon. This, when considered In con
nection with the testimony of C. A.
Blsrelow. another witness, relative to
the place where the empty shell was
found, tends to bear out the contention
of the defense that Hicks waa closer
to the door of the atora than Wortman
nd waa on the defensive, not the ag
gressive, when the shot waa fired.
Sir. Blatlow testified that tha shell
was found by a clerk the morning fol-loa-lna;
tha shootlne. from 7 to 9 fret
Inside the store and to the east of the
door. Patrolman Bunn. who later waa
qualified by the defense as an expert
on firearms, s.ild that an automatic
Pistol such a Hicks used throws an
empty shell from It almost at rlcht
ancles and aa great a distance as from
six to elsrht feet. This fits in with tha
theory of the defense to the extent
that It shows that the shell could not
posalbly have ejected to the Interior
f the store, had Hicks shot with his
arm extended and from a position
closer to the street than that occupied
liy Wortman. as contended by Special
Prosecutor Davis. Tha shell may have
been Inadvertently kicked to the posi
tion where picked up. As before re
lated. It was not found till the morn
ins: "after the killing and many per
sons were attracted to the stqre by the
iho-etlnir.

Bunn did not know If there was
more than one bullet left In th- ma ra
il ne from which the. fatal bullet was
bred. Ie had taken the gun from
Hicks, but had not examined It critl-rsll'-.
When Mr. Malarkey started to
oarMlon him concerning what hap
pened after he arrived al the scene, a
vigorous objection was drawn from
Mr. Davis. In the argument before a
ruling on the objection Mr. Davis re
ferred to Mr. Malarkey a "continually
quarreling and scolding.
The attorney for the defrnse read
an exception to the remark Into tha
record, contending that It was preju
dicial. This angered Special Prose
cutor Davis still more and he made
another remark, lo which another ex
ception was promptly read Into the
record bv .Mr. Malarkey. Mr. Davis
then suggested to the judge that, to
save time. Mr. Malarkey be allowed
a blanket exception to ail his (Davie!
remark ard Mr. Malarkey caused a
third exception to be noted In the
record.
Mr. .Malarkey took the revolver from
the hands of Patrolman Bunn while the
latter was bring examined bv Mr.
Davis:
"Will you kindly permit th-t gun to
remain in the hand of the officer until
I have finished questioning him ron--emlng
It?" mapped the special prose
cutor. " "The officer Is not offended and I am
not trying my case to suit you."" waa
the retort of the attorney for the de
fensw Pa via tailed a Pettlfoaraer.
During the mornlrjr session Mr. Ma
larkey called Mr. Davis a pettifogger
when the latter attempted to direct the
attention of I?. A. Bltrelow. a wltnews,
.'o the fact tbat there was a slight dif
ference In a statement he made yes
terday as compared with a statement
made on the same subject at the in
quest. The defendant's attorney in
sisted that Mr. Davis waa seeking to
mpearh his own witness. .Mr. Davla
ook up more than five minutes of the
court's time In emphatically protesting
galnst his opponent's use of tha term
"pettifogger.
"I am not going to protest every
time tha attorney for tha defense In-
snlts me. declared Mr. Davis, hla voice
shaking with wrath, "but once In a
while 1 wilt. There was no occasion
for the -use of the word pettlfoggor."
and Mr. Malarkey knows there wasn't
His action was unfair and unprofes
sional. I waa merely seeking to re
frewh the mind of my witness, a pro
ceeding which Is strictly proper."
Mr. Malarkey thereafter referred to
Mr. Davis as "Private Prosecutor

Davis became noticeably angry.

Attorney lalarkey was reading from
an Oregon Supreme Court decision In
the case of the state against Ye Gong,
a case- in which he said he had been
special prosecutor, when Dr. Davis In
terfered: "Ye Gong, that's the name of a Chi

"Yes. does It sound like the nsme

In roply. The answer was followed by
a sarcastic exchange of compliments
between the attorney! relative to their
respective connections with cases In
which Chinamen werw defendants.

The reference of Mr. Davis to Pa
trolman Bunn as "Civil 8ervlce Com
missioner logan'a police officer came
after the defense had offered, through
Mr. Malarkey. to agree upon Bunn as
an expert to shoot off the revolver and
take observations relative to the ejec
tion of the shell. The prosecution
stated Its refusal through Mr. Davis,
who said:
"When we wish to select an expert
we will select one for ourselves and It
will not be Civil Service Commissioner
Logan's police officer."
Both Mr. Mulsrkov and Mr. Logan,
who In also appcarlna for the defend
ant, objected to the remark as Insult
ing to the witness and Mr. Logan, and
Judge Gatens, as is usual. Instructed
the Jury to disregard the statement
of Mr. Davis. Theroafter, on redirect
examination, Mr. Davis treated the
policeman as an adverse witness and
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
also Interfered In the questioning to
demand why the patrolman had not
taken the trouble to count the bullets
remaining In the magasine from which
the fatal one waa discharged.

"Are you here as special prosecutor
to suppress evidence, beneficial to the
defendant?" Mr. Malarkey asked the
private prosecutor once when Mr. Davis
objected to his line of cross-examination.
Mr. Davis Indulged In sarcastio
remarks when the shell found In tha
Markell store was produced bv Mr.
Logan, who was given It by a cterk,
employed n the store a day or two
after the shooting. When the defense
offered It In evidence Mr. Davis made
no objection, remarking that he was
"glad to get It away from Logan."
Mr. Malarkey off-red, but was not al
lowed, to prove that Tatrolman Bunn
was requeued but refused to swear to
an information charging Hicks with
first-degree murdr. He contended that
he had a right to show It for the pur-por-e
of proving that Bunn had not
been influenced In giving his testimony
by the presence of Mr. Logan as SH

A proteet from the Portland Cham

Mayor Rushlight, calling attention to
the sentiment that has arisen against
those who were Instrumental In break
ing up the meeting of General Baden
Powell In Portland by their disorderly
behavior, demanding that steps he tak

a thing occurring again, and hinting
that If the police are unable to cope
with the disorderly element In the city,
the matter may be taken into the hands
of a "committee of law abiding cltl
aens. taken from all walka of life."

Members of the Portland Rotary Club
added their voice to the chorus of pro
tet that has been poured In upon the
Mayor's office within the past week
against the dJuorderly behavior of rep
resentatives of the Socialists and I.
W. W. organisation, by adopting a res
olution censuring the Mayor and Chiof
of Police, and demanding that 'Instant
steps be taken to correct and suppress
this evil.
The resolution cites the disorder that
occurred at the meeting held by Gen
elar Baden-Powell, where Socialists
and I. W. W. men practically broke up
the assembly, declaring that "absolute
ly no police protection waa given the
distinguished visitor by the police force
of this city, although they were ad
vised of the situation."
"These resolutions." the document
continues, "are drawn not with the
intention of striking at any social body
of men. but purely In behalf of order
and good government, and as a censure
of the city administration."
A copy of the resolution will be sent
to General Baden-Powell to advise him
of the attitude taken by the Rotarians
In the matter and the resolution will
be submitted to the Mayor with a -demand
for Immediate action.

said: "The Importance of this matter
Is fully appreciated, but what I know
of It comes to me through the news

through a warrant of arrest or other
such source. I can take no action. It

Mrs. Lawrence Is manager of the

was reported that her father Joined
Custer's army, but that the War De

black eyes, a round face, black hair,
which may now be gray, aa being short
and stout, and a stonemason. She says:
"My father left his home In Menom

of April. 1871. My mother received
some letters after he left, the last one
saying he waa Joining Custer's army.
But this does not seem to be the case,

LEAGUE PLANS CONTEST
JJEMBKHS SEEK DESIGN" FOR
ROSE FESTIVAL PARADE.
National College Eqnaf Suffrage Or
ganization to Take Active Part
in Annual Event.
At a meeting yesterday of the Na
tional College Equal Suffrage League
at the home of Dr. Henry Waldo Coe,
the president, it was decided to Inau
gurate a contest for an acceptable de
sign to represent the league In the
Rose Festival parade next June.
The subject of having floats repre
senting their respective organizations
has already been taken up with the
different suffrage societies in the city
and there Is every indication that a
keen rivalry will result anions them
to have the best representation. The
finance committee of the National Col
lege Equal Suffrage League was In
structed yesterday afternoon to formu
late plans for conducting the contests
and will report their conclusion at an
early meeting.
A novel question that waa taken up
at the meeting was a plan for having
periodical luncheons, at Intervals of
perhaps one or two weeks. The plan
is to secure speakers at these lunch
eons, which would be attended by the
members tf the league and invited
guests. The entertainment committee
was instructed to confer with the va
rious hotel managements as to this
and to report the results of their con
ference at the next business meeting.
A tender from the National College
Equal Suffrage League of California
of the die used In that state for print
ing the emblem of the league on pos
tals and on stamp stickers was ac
cepted. Thousands of these cards and
stamps will be circulated as soon as the
dies are received.

and the.n by appearance, eliminate
tlve second one of these, who Is Roose
velt. A large poster urging people to go In
and sign Roosevelt petition is posted
at the County Courthouse, but the citi
sens seemingly run from both the
poster and the petition, for notwith
standing the fact that the petitions
have been here for 45 days, only five
have, specified their desire to affix
their signatures thereon.
In addition to the Taft campaign
committee. Morrow County has a Taft

The Morrow County Taft campaign
committee is getting active as the sea

is well organised here, and It is ex

LIQUOR ft 1 A N SENTENCED
BARTENDER ORDERED TO JAIL
FOR SVNTMY SALES.
Derelict "Bootlegger" Gets Off With
Fine, bnt Man Who Gave Him
Goods to Sell Is Convicted.
Despite an obvious attempt to make
a derelict "bootlegger" the principal
defendant and get him off with a min
imum fine, John Erickson, a bartender,
was convicted in Municipal Court yes
terday of selling liquor on Sunday, and
drew the first prison sentence Imposed
by the court in this class of cases. He
was sentenced for SO days, and gave
immediate notice of appeal.
Jim Addington. a floater, was arrest
ed by Patrolmen Sherwood and Miller
after he had supplied them with a bot
tle of whisky. When pressed to re
veal the source of his supply, he led
the officers to Erickson's room, at
Third and Salmon streets.
No difficulty waa made in convict
ing Addington, the attorney who ap
peared for both men entering a plea
of guilty with the understanding that
the minimum fine would be imposed.
This was agreed to, and he was sen
tenced to pay $100.
Then Addington was put on the stand
to testify against Erickson. despite the
objection of his attorney that he was
an accomplice. It was held that the
transaction from Erickson to him was
a separate offense from the one be
tween him and the officer, and he was
allowed to testify.
Addington told a remarkable story
to shield Erickson; that the bartender
had Instructed him to help himself to
the whisky and knew nothing of his
taking it out to be sold. The court re
fused to believe this story, and im
posed a prison sentence on Erickson.
The police regard the case as an Im
portant one, because, they say, most of
the ignorant, destitute men who carry
on the Sunday traffic on the streets
are merely distributers for other men
like Erickson, who deposit the supplies
of liquor In their rooms before the
closing period and issue it out to their
agents without appearing personally in
tne transaction.
Condemnation Suit Started.
OREGON CITT, Or.. March 1. p.
cial. A suit of the Portland Railway,
Light &. Power Company against Mary
Ann Munley and Arthur McMahon for
the condemnation of property on the
west side of the river about three miles
from Oregon City is being heard by
Judge Campbell. The defendants al
lege that the price offered Is less than
the property is worth and the railroad
under its franchise has no right of con
demnation. It Is further charged that
the road the plaintiff intends building
