Mat Starts Rebuttal TcMlinonj. F.ffort Made to Show Metal Tradrs .s.ooUtlon Tried to Stir I'p Strikers. Epcll rrosorutor Pavl let down th br In the Hick trial yesterday when h called a number of union ma rhlnlot and ilrkel to teiitlfy to the fientle disposition of Wortman. the alatn man. and to h!a helnic an epileptic. The defence had revted lt cm yester day morning and the state had started tn rebuttal testimony. On cross-examination these witnesses "were mercilessly grilled by Attorney Malarkoy and becam badly confused. Amoni them was Victor Nealond. who declared that he had nerer told lllcks that there was danger of his being hot by the rickets. HU-ks testified that Nealond had rqado such a state ment to him. Nealond testified that he had warned. Hicks of danger from toldup men. I (line ef Beattao; Probed. On cross-exsmination Mr. Malarkey gained from Nealond admission that lie had been attacked near his home about tnree weeks after the shooting. Br Ms questions the attorney for the defense left the Impression that the old man had been beaten by strikers because he became too friendly with the defense and expressed the opinion that Hicks was Justified In his act. J'ealoiid admitted having been beaten, but said he did not know who did It. According to the witness. Hicks said that lie was afraid of no person. The trend of ilr. Malarkey's examination tended no show that the m-ltness had len Intimidated by the union men and was testifying under Instructions. aiond denied having marla state ments In which he expressed the opin ion that Hicks should have killed some f the picketers Ions; before he killed AV'ortman. Andrew BJorknen. John R. Peck. Itmll Jeanette and A. Buehler. put on the stand by Special Prosecutor Davis to rebut evidence relative to the al leged acts of violence and foul lan guage of the picketers. declared that they bad seldom. If ever, heard foul language used by the picketers. They Insisted that Instructions to the con trary had been Issued. Peck said that the penalty for non-observance of the rules against violence and vulgar lan guage was expulsion from the union. The strike has now been on sinne June. 1910. and no member of the union has yet been suspended. Peck admitted on cross-examination. Jeanette said that instructions had been given to the picketers not to transgress the law, fcut he had never heard of any penalty lor failure to obey the rules. Att.raer'a Q series Dealed. Mr. Malarkey asked Jeanette If It was not a fact that the pickets gen erally understood that the Instructions were a Joke and that they were not urged to do anything except keep from being arrested. Thts the witness de nied. With each of the machinists put on ty the state Mr. Malarkey "ran the Jisl" of acta of violence about which testimony has been Introduced. His Questions included the following: "Are you the man who beat up Billy Jlllserir" "Do you know who attacked Arthur JIavlll?" -Was It you who hit that little Finn. JHakl. over the head with brass Knuckles or with a piece of brass pipe 7" "Do you know which striker It was that called Mrs. John Meier, wife of a machinist employed at the Smith & Vatson Iron Works, a woman of the underworld on the public street?" Did you assist In leaving W. D. Conn, one of Hicks' men. unconscious on the street?" "Do you know who followed Emll Fchmidt Into a barber shop and asked the barber to cut his throat?" "Did you call Miss Lily B. Hicks, tha daughter of the defendant her, a "Did you make a practice of calling polir-emen filthy names?" "Was It you who followed men Into restaurants and called to the waiters Bet t serve them, as they were ..-abs?" Wltaesaes niselalsa Fteaasaalblllty. There were many other questions of like Import covering practically ?ery Incident about whlrh the Jury has been apprised by the defense. The witnesses d-nled thst they were guilty of such things and declared they had never eforo beard of most of the Inci dents. Soma said that they did not relieve that the namea which Miss Jilcks and Mrs. Meier testified had been applied to them bad come from the mouths of picketers. They Insisted that the women must have told false hoods. Emll Schmidt left the way open for the most vigorous and telling cross examination which haa yet been the lot of a witness during the trial when he attempted to explain why he had attacked "William Dennis, one of Jilcks workmen. He had done lt he aid. because Dennis, in refusing to talk With him. had Jammed him P against a building with his elbow. He had then "sailed In and beat Dennis. JJr. Malarkey kept him busy for 15 minutes trying to make clear why he had Insisted on forctng his presence on I'ennls after Dennis had made It clear that he did not wtsh to be bothered. This witness also said that he waa following Dennis one r.ight. about a month before the melee, and saw his luarrr go Into a drugstore. He went Into the place after Dennis left and found out that carbolic acid had been purchased. He expressed the belief that It had been procured to throw in his fr.ee. Mr. Malarkey first objected to the admission of testimony about the drugstore Inelden?. but later withdrew the oblectton and rross-examlned con cerning It, making Jeanette appear ri diculous. Raehler a?a He Is Mas. KurhVnr Identified several Incidents Involving Wortman. about which wit nesses for the defense had -testified, and declared that he. not Wortman, was the plcketer Involved. K.mll Schmidt had testified that In reaching Into his pocket ome for his keys Wortman had tiiought h ws seeking to draw a re- olver and had dared him to do so. re marking that he ate such toys. Buehler tald that rVhmldt was mistaken be cause It was he I the witness) who had participated In this Incident. Tho witness also testlfle.l that PclimUlt had aaain mistaken Wortman for the viur:i a hen tfrhrnWt testified that Wortman had been in the front row on j , i o . v, t ,1 1 ,l4 the i Win when Hcnmioi n r 11 the picketers at bay with a revolver.

Pchroeder. Jr.. clerk of the Municipal Free Kmployment Bureau, testified that Wortman had frequently secured employment through his office.

His object was to controvert the statements of wit nesses for the prosecution that Wort man waa weak physically. In an effort to show that the- I'nlted Metal Trades Association, which in cludes In Its membership prsrtlcally all the machine shops In the city. labored as an organisation to aggravate the striking machinists In every pos sible way. Special Prosecutor Davis railed to the witness-stand Albert Smith, president, and F. C Porter, sec retary, of the association. Over the objections or .Mr. jnuarKrj the. state was allowed to ask Mr. Smith and Mr. Porter If the association had not employed attorneys to defend strikebreakers haled Into the Municipal and Justice Courts for offenses against picketers and to assist In the prosecu tion of strikers who chanced to be ar rested. Judge Gatens finally ruled that the ouestlons were not sufficiently specific and the witnesses were excused until Mondsy morning. Mr. Davis Insisted on questioning Mr. Smith, over the objections of Attorney Malarkey. about alleged attempts of the association to gather evidence against the strikers on which to base an In junction suit. He wanted to know If It were not true that the United Metal Trades Association had employed the firm of Wilbur A Spencer, attorneys, to secure an Injunction, and that the necessary evidence had not been forth coming although detectives were em cloved to gather It. The defense ob jected and Judge Uatens ruled that the Witness need not answer. NORWAY MINISTER COMING Shipping Conditions to lie Studied in Advance of Canal' Opening-. H. H.

BIG TOWER PLACED Harriman Bridge May Be Fin ished at Early Date. RAPID PROGRESS IS MADE Inverklp to Ixver Slicks to Pass Under Truss in I'cw 1 y s Clcnr ance AVI 11 Bo 103 l;cct. Draw Span Nearly Heady. Bridge patrons who have virtually resigned themselves to the prospect of not being able to use the new Harri man crossing until late In June, are encouraged that the work may be com pleted with less delay through the fact that the east tower, which will aid In lifting the draw, is in place, also the huge wheols near the top, over which the cables will be stretched. The big traveling crane recently erected on top of the false truss was shifted yesterday and in a short time the west tower Is to be in position, so all efforts can bo directed toward getting the draw span ready and the counterweights built. Captain Harry Kinken, who will pilot the British steamer Inverklp to the Portland mill In a few days, where she is to load 1.000.000 feet of lumber, says that the vessel's masts will be lowered and that she can pas8 beneath the truss. The height of her sticks will bo about 90 feet above the water, while the clear ance under the truss will be more than 105 feet, unless the rivtrr rises rapidly before she returns downstream. GO LDMJO ROUGH IS IX BAD Torpetlobout Adds to Long List of Troubles That Marked Her. From Bremerton conies a story that the torpedo boat Goldsborough. a Port land product, ns she was built at the yards of Wolff & Zwirker, has added another failure to her list through engine trouble that developed Wednes day, when she was being given a test run after a stay of seven months at the yards undergoing an overhauling. The vessel left at noon and it was intended to test compasses and pre pare for a voyage to Southern Califor nia, but after an hour's run she was headed back, an engine having broken down. It is said thut not in 10 years has the Goldsborough ventured from a Navy yard for a lengthy period, as she Is the real hoodoo of the service. The vesttel was In course of construc tion from 1897 to 1905, most of the time being spent In trying to overcome de fects, and after leaving Portland she was on Puget Sound for a lengthy series of trials before final acceptance. Wolff & Zwlcker also built the Davis and Fox. both being under construction from 1896 to 1899. PORT TIG'S LKASE SUGGESTED Pugct Sound Line Has Busy Season . Prospective for Vessels. As the Puget Sound Tugboat Com pnny has only the tug Fearless oper ating off the Columbia River, pending the return of the tug Tatoosh, which is towing barges to Alaska temporar ily, and the Gollah is also away from the river, it has been hinted to a mem ber of the Port of Portland Commission that the company might leaso either the Wallula or Oneonta, but the matter has not been taken up officially. That the Puget Sound line has need of vessels is shown by the fact the Fearless was secured from San Fran cisco. ITnless there is an unprecedented spurt In business there will be no need for three tugs off the river during the TEAMKR rNTELUCENCK. Doa te Arrive. Kama. Beaver Sua H. Elmore. Bear Breakwater. ..

LOG RAFTS MUST BE LIGHTED Official Washington Takes Hand in Cases at Portland. In a letter received by Collector of Customs Malcolm yesterday from the Secretary of the. Department of Com merce and labor It Is set forth thst the period of leniency for sawmill op erators who permit log rafts to he moored at their plants without the customary lights being displayed at night, has passed and hereafter each Infringement of the law will be dealt with severely. Cases In the harbor were taken up with the Washington officials, as there were mitigating circumstances, but the appeal resulted in a communi cation being sent that plainly states the position of the department. It has been assumed by some that because the rafts did not extend Into the chan nel It was unnecessary to light them, but all must be. marked by illum inations, whether lying close to shore or extending Into the stream. Fines can be imposed for transgressions In sums not to exceed $200. BLAIR ARRANGES INSURANCE Portland Shippers and TJiose at San Pedro Get Protection. Hereafter shippers routing freight from Portland to San Tedro on vessels of the San Francisco & Portland Steam ship Company, as well as from San Pedro to this port, can have them cov ered by marine Insurance at a rate of SO cents on each $100. except when goods are carried on deck, when they will take a double rate. O. I Blair, general freight agent of the fleet, has issued a statement Id which he sets forth that such shipments are Insured free of particular average or partial loss under 5 per cent, except ing articles perishable in their own na ture, which are Insured free of partic ular average or partial loss under 5 per cent and wool under 6 per cent on each bale." Tho minimum charge for insur ance is 25 cents, and will apply to des tinations reached via San Pedro or from the same points. New Light on Gary Island. In a. notice to mariners issued yes terday from the office, of Henry L. Beck, inspector of the Seventeenth Lighthouse District. It is announced that a new light will bo established on tho Columbia, as follows: "Gary Island light to be established about April 15, 1912. It will be a fixed red post-lantern light, about 11 candle power, about 20 feet above water, shown from an arm on a white post. The light will be located on tho north east side of Gary Island, about 1 miles. 309 degrees true (WNW. 3-8 W. mag.) from the. present location of Corbett Light, which will bo perma nently discontinued tho saraei date." Marine Notes. On her second trip of the year to Lewiston, the steamer Inland Empire, which reached Celllo yesterday. Is to ail from there at noon today. Under a new schedule, which does not change her running time, but is a re arrangement of dates, the steamer Al liance sailed last evening for Coos Bay and Eureka. Unless weather conditions interfere, the steamer Breakwater will be lifted on the Oregon drydock Monday to have a new propeller shipped and. the hull repainted. Towed by the steamer Diamond O. the first barge of sulphur brought from Europe on the British steamer Inver klp was towed to Oregon City yester day for use In plants there. Inspectors Edwards and Fuller have continued until Monday the investiga tion into the collision a week ago today, through which the steamer Paloma. with a barge In tow, struck and dam aged the launch Fairbanks Morse. As repairs to the boiler of the steamer Bailey Gnt7.ert had been com pleted, she was given her annual in spection yesterday so that it would not be necessary when she is ready for service to remove the firewall. The steamer will resume running to The Dalles about May 1 Aboard the ship Levi G. Burgess, of the Alaska-Portland Fackers' Associa tion, which left the harbor yesterday In tow of the steamer Ocklaharta, bound for Xushagak, was coal, piling, nine fishing boats, benzine, gasoline, distillate. 172,978 feet of lumber, 20, 624 cases of cans and other equipment for tho fishing season. She will be fol lowed by the ship Berlin and the tug North King. Coming from Tocopilla the French bark Pierre lxtl arrived at Linnton early yesterday morning. She was 68 days on the way and met with ordinary weather. The French bark Eugene Schneider Is to leave up today in tow of the Oeklahama and will go to the ballast dock. When the tug Oneonta went alongside the Schneider to get a hawser aboard, so as to tow her Into the river, she struck the bark and car ried away her foretop mast. A new one has been ordered here. She met with a similar accident months ago when she towed the Lydate into the river. Movements of Vessels. PORTLAND. April 6. Arrived Steamer J A. Chsnslor, from San Francisco; steam er Temple, E.

Y WEIMAR HENR 10 GUILTY MEN FREED OVERLAND CLUBMEN KECEIVE SUSPENDED SENTENCES. Patrolman Stuart Tells Attorney Touts He Saw Him Trrink From Flask Behind Armory. For conducting the Overland Club, in the" Commonwealth building. J. A. Mc Cleary and nine others, arrested last week, were found guilty of vagrancy in Municipal Court yesterday, but re ceived suspended sentences. McCleary, manager of the club, is now on his good behavior in two cases, having received a suspended sentence some weeks ago after being convicted of Belling liquor on Sunday in the club. Kngaglng In riotous and disorderly conduct was the phase of the new state vagrancy law under which the defend ants were convicted. A squad of officers, sent to the place after frequent com plaint had been received from the neighborhood, found men and women dancing at 5 A. 51., a piano playing and liquor being drunk. The club has been under surveillance for a long time, and it Is charged by ex-Sheriff Word that It la one of the places where gambling is under pro tection or the name of a club. In examining Patrolman Stuart, one. S. 8. S. heals Sores and Ulcers in the very simplest way. It just goes right down into the blood and removes the cause, and the place is bound to heal because the impurities and morbid matters which have been the means of keeping the ulcer open ere no longer absorbed from the blood. External applications of salves, lotions, plasters, etc., can never produce a cure because they do not reach the source of the trouble. At best they can only allay pain or reduce Inflammation; such treatment is working on Bymptoms and not reaching the cause. Every nutritive corpuscle in the blood is weakened or infected, they cannot nourish the fibrous tissue around the place, but instead they constantly discharge into the flesh around the sore a quantity of impure, germ-laden matter which gradually eats into the Burrounding healthy tissue and causes the ulcer to enlarge. Sinoe impute blood is responsible for Sores and Ulcers, a medicine that can purify the blood is the only hope of a cure. S. S. S. has long been recognized as the greatest of all blood purifiers, possessing the qualities necessary to remove every impurity from the blood. While curing the sore or ulcer S. S. S. brings about a healthy condition of the flesh by supplying it with rich, healthy blood, and thus makes the cure permanent and lasting.
