If they can," said Dr. Shaw, "and see themselves governed by every race and color, without an opportunity to say what the laws which govern us are to be, paying our share of the bills with out a chance to say what the bills shall be." In referring to the international con ference of woman suffrage workers to be held In Buda-Pest next Spring, the speaker pointed out that a victory for the movement in Oregon at the November election would be the most effective and far-reaching boost that the business men could give to the Beaver state.

The defense has 30 witnesses, prom inent business men of Pacific County to testify In behalf of Mr. Creech as to his general reputation. Defease Scores Point.

The state tried to break down Tebb's testimony, but failed. - Creech took the stand after Attorney Welch had recalled Chief of Police Temple man, of Aberdeen, as he said, to pre pare the way for impeachment. Tern pieman was questioned as to certain interviews he had given the press, and said he did not remember his exact re marks. Welch then stated the case for the -defense. He declared that he would show that Creech got off the train the night of June 3, talked a time with Tebb on business matters, walked around town with him and finally re marked that he would meet him and see his family; that he then went home, entered his yard, saw a man crouching in the bushes who called on him to throw up his hands, and then shot. Creech then took the stand and told of his life, saying that he had been a resident of Aberdeen, for 23 years, re turning here once a week, and some tlmes every two weeks; how the trou ble at Raymond had made it necessary for him to go armed, and of the threats that had been made against him. He told of coming to Aberdeen the Satur day prior to the tragedy; of falling to find Manager Peterson, of the Pacific Lumber Agency, whom he had come to see; returning to Raymond, and then returning June 3 to see Peterson again. Tebb, he said, came down on the train with him from Gate, and they talked of buslnss matters on the train and walked around town for an hour after arriving. , Doctor la Called. The witness then told what happened after the alleged murder; how he called to his wife to get a doctor, and of the conversation he had with her, which was practically substantiated yesterday by W. A. Rupp, Mrs. Rupp and W. L. Ballard. . Creech went Into great detail and the story he told was not broken In the severe cross - examination later. He showed the tremendous strain of the day on the stand, however. Although ne grew nervous, his tongue did not trip. He will be called back for rebut tal, possibly tomorrow. The testimony of Mr. Webb showed that Creech was normal, not nervous. and that he did not act like a man who had come with the premeditated in tention of killing someone. Tebb says they talked of business and then Creech made an appointment to meet him at 9:30 o'clock the next morning. This testimony stood cross-examination. It does not now appear that any at tempt will be made to show that Creech suspected his wife of friendship with Welch. Creech declared today that he did not know Welch nor Welch him, and this was substantiated by tes timony of the officer who took Creech to jail. Mrs. Creech undoubtedly will be grilled by the state's attorney to morrow. Mrs. Creech has attended the trial steadfastly and take a keen interest in what has taken place, more so, if possible, than has her husband. The cross-examination of Creech by . the Prosecuting Attorney today was an at tempt to confuse him, and twice Judge Sheeks warned Attorney W. E. Camp bell that he was asking the same ques tions over again. . Campbell replied he would continue to do so.-- MINER DENOUNCES SPRY JIOYER DECLARES GOVERNOR FAVORS MIXEOWXERS. Steamsbovels at Bingliam to Discon tinue Work Greeks Answering Call to Arms. SALT LAKE CITY. Oct. 4.

Mover, president of the Western Federation of Miners, pre sided. "We do not ask the Governor to bring about a settlement as we would have it." the statement continued, "but we do think that his duty as Governor of the State of Utah should be to use his authority as Governor to bring about a conference whereby the plain facts may be discussed and weighed as to their real merits.". General Manager Jackling paid today his first visit to Bingham since the strike was begun. After his departure men began drawing the water trom the boilers of the steam shovels, an act taken to indicate that their early use is not contemplated.

'The two men who lead the two sec tlons of the Republican party," said the Governor, "have In turn presided over the very processes mat nave got us Into trouble. Sadden Light Seem bj T. B. "No man in the United States was ever more trusted, was ever more blindly trusted, than the leader of the third party during the seven and a half years he was President of the United States. Is it possible that he has Just discovered the deep needs of humanity? Is It possible that it required a defeat in the first Chicago convention to con vince him that he had been doing wrong? Is it possible that he for the first time sees that he wasted seven and a half years during which he could have led the American people to any triumph of reform which he had chosen to lead them?" The Governor referred briefly In his speech at Plymouth, Ind., to the elec toral situation in California. - "Those very men who have flung themselves out of the Republican party and say they no longer are In It though they are in when they can stay in it. as witness what has Just been done in California, where they have shut tho members of the family off the electoral ticket and captured It themselves wherever that famay is. so far as the majority Is concerned, on their side, they are willing to stay In the family. , Protection Called "Buncombe." "Bit even where they are out of the family they show that they are doing t'.ie same kind of thinking that they always have done. The third party doas not condemn the protective tariff, the third party does not propose to al ter the protective tariff except where the beneficiaries of the protective tariff refuse to divide with the people." At Gary, Ind., the Governor said: "I want to ask the people of Gary if k is their observation that the em ployes of the United States Steel Cor poration are better paid than the aver age rf employes In the United States. The whole country knows that wher ever It lias business It depresses wages to the lowest level. Now, the Steel Corporation is one of the chief benefi ciaries of the tariff and you have been tcld ever since you can remember that the tariff meant high wages to you. I do not have to prove to this audience that that Is a piece of buncombe." PUTER PREPARES SUIT LAWYERS AGAIN FAIL TO IDEN TIFY HIM AS FORGER.'
