MORXINO OREfiOMAX. THURSDAY, XQVE31BER 21, 1912. TIIE w OMAN STRANGLED DOCTOR TESTIFIES Witness Against Gibson Sure Mrs. Szabo Died From Com- presslon of Throat. EYE-WITNESS ON STAND Man Who Stood on Lake Shore, 700 Yards Away, Says Lawyer Over turned Boat After He and Woman Fell Out. GOSHEN, N. T., Not. JO. Dr. G. O. King-, a physician of Hudson County, New Jersey, testified for the state to day In the trial of Burton W. Gibson, attorney for Mrs. Rosa Menschik Szabo. that Mrs. Szabo met death in Greenwood Lake July 16 last from strangulation. Of this he was posi tive, he said. He was equally sure, he continued, that strangulation was caused by compression on the throat. How long would one have to press against the throat to cause death?" asked Assistant District Attorney VTa. servogeL Touching of Nerve Fatal. "If a certain nerve were touched,, death probably would be instantane ous," he replied. Early In the day John Mlnturn, an eyewitness of the tragedy, swore that he saw Gibson place an arm around Mrs. Szabo's neck and thrust his hand 'to her throat. This was while Gibson and the woman were In the boat, 700 yards from the shore. They both fell out, Minturn said, and Gibson swam to the boat, overturned It, and then ap parently tried to pull the shirt of his bathing suit over his head. The de fense maintains that the drowning wo man tore the shirt from Gibson's back. Woman's Money Drawn From Bank. Four clerks from one banking insti tution testified that within three weeks after the tragedy. Gibson, as Mrs. Szabo's executor, had drawn her bank deposits, amounting to 17397. A clerk from another bank said Gibson had tried In vain three times to ob tain $3052 on deposit In Mrs. Szabo's name in the bank. This witness said Gibson told him Mrs. Szabo had died of kidney disease and heart trouble. Other witnesses testified . variously that Gibson had told them after Mrs. Szabo's death that she had gone to Chicago and Boston; that she was away on a honeymoon and that she had sailed for Europe. BANKRUPTCY CASES HEARD Creditors of Rector & Daly Will Get 10 Per Cent, Is Estimate. : VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 20. (Spe cial.) Echoes of the recent aeries of bankruptcies that followed along In the wake of the crash of the Commer cial Bank, December 19, 1910. are be ing heard in the court of George B. Simpson, referee in bankruptcy for this district. . . The contracting firm of Rector & Daly will pay a dividend of S per cent within a short time, and this is to be followed by a larger one. It is esti mated now that the creditors will njt get more than 10 cents on the dollar at the final settlement. The creditors of Swank & Co. have been paid in full of the 82 1-5 per cent, and when the vouchers are returned and passed upon by the Superior Judge this case will be completed. The case of Moore & Hardin, con tractors, who failed for approximately J70.000, will not be settled for pos sibly 18 months or two years, as the liens against the St. Joseph's Hospital, which the company was building, may go to the Supreme Court ot the State of Washington before the matter is settled. These liens involve about $20, 000. The affairs of Meach & Co. and E. M. Meach have been settled, but the creditors got nothing. MRS. HORNSCHAH BURIED Friends Pay Last Tribute to Oregon City Woman.

RED CROSS CO-OPERATING Suffering Families Left Homeless Through Devastating Retreat of Turks Threatened With Starv ation and Disease. The situation of distress in Macedo nia, as a result of the war In the Bal kans, has become so acute that Quee Olga, of Greece, through the Greek le gation at Washington, has sent an urgent appeal to the United States for aid. Acting on her suggestion, a move ment has been started to raise funds for the relief of the suffering families who have' been left homeless through the devastating retreat of the Turkish armies. This movement is known as "the American fund for the relief of desti tute families of the Greek - Turkish war," and the treasurer is Breck Trow bridge, 527 Fifth avenue. New York. All funds will be transmitted through the American Red Cross and the De partment of State at Washington. Queen Olga is co-operating with the Union of Greek Women in the relief efforts.

Vanderbllt, Mrs. William Douglas Sloane. Mrs. Douglas Robin son, Mrs. Cornelius Vandarbilt, Mrs. Edmund Baylies, Mrs. Cortlandt Bishop, Mrs. R.

AN MARKED FOR MURDER TESTIFIES Stenographer for Ironworkers' Union Tells of Fear of Its Officials. PLOT SUGGESTED BY J. B. Another of McXamaras- Declared to Have Forced Way Into Room in Search of Papers Ecthoff Refuses" Job of Killing. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 20. Miss Mary C. Dye. a stenographer, who, witnesses had, said, was marked for murder by James B. McNamara, the Los Angeles Times dynamiter, because she worked for the ironworkers' union and "knew too much," testified at the dynamite conspiracy trial today. She said she had been followed by detectives and on one occasion an other of the McNamara brothers had forced an entrance to her room in a hotel to search for papers which he desired to destroy. Miss Dye identified hundreds of let ters introduced by the Government to sustain its contention that Frank M. Ryan, president of the union, and other defendants conspired to transport . ex plosives illegally In furtherance of dy namite plots against nonunion firms. The letters were written by John J. McNamara, secretary of the union. The witness testified she quit the employ of the Ironworkers before the Los Angeles explosion, but she had written many letters which the Gov ernment charges were in furtherance of earlier explosions. "Soon after I left a boy at the door of my room in a hotel at midnight calded out he had a telegram," said Miss Dye, "but when I opened the door, John J. McNamara, much excited. forced himself in. He demanded cer ttin papers, of which I knew nothing. Then he searched my baggage and de parted. In going over letters at the office I had seen a letter in which it was said that somebody was going to snitch, 'or give away information, un less money was forthcoming." Woman's Murder' Planned. The Government oontends that the informant referred to was Herbert S. Hockin. who Is on trial, and that Hoc kin had told of hiding nitroglycerin at Rochester, Pa., and at Muncle, Ind. On his flight back from Los Angeles, after causing the explosion there, James B. planned to have. Miss Dye put to death and wanted Frank Eckhoff, of Cin cinnati; to do It, according to Eckhoff's testimony. Eckhoff, who testified he had been sent to help the dynamiter escape, said he refused to carry out the plot, but he followed Miss Dye to Pittsburg, where she went to live. Contractor Describe Method. As typical of the way explosions were carried on, the Government in troduced the testimony of Albert von Spreckelsen, a contractor who em ployed nonunion men. Von Spreckel sen said that shortly before he suf fered a loss of $17,000 in explosions Ernest G. W. Bassey, John J. McNa mara and Spurgeon P. Meadows, of the carpenters' union, also a defendant, called on him and said: "Wo' 11 get you." On October 25, 1909, he said, the Central Union Exchange, the public li brary building, a planing mill and his barn, in different parts of In dianapolis, were dynamited at about the same hour. EXPENSIVELY GOWNED ALIEN HELD TO BE UNDESIRABLE. Federal Inspectors, Despite Protests, Refuse to Let Mrs. Carter Pass Through Country. , SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20. Two expensively-gowned women, registered at the Hotel St. Francis as Mrs. J. Ward Carter, of London, and Mrs. J. W. Chard, of New York, were arrested to day by Federal Immigration Inspectors and' taken to the detention station at Angel Island. Mrs. Carter arrived here yesterday from Hongkong on board the liner Mongolia. Mrs. Chard said she had come from New York to meet her daughter, Mrs. Carter. Both protested that the arrest 'of Mrs. Carter, which was made under the law excluding un desirable aliens, was an outrage. Mrs. Carter showed through trans portation to London. "You have no right," she said, "to humiliate this way a British subject, who is only stopping in your city for a day." Chief Inspector Alnsworth said, after Mrs. Carter had been lodged at the island station, that she admitted her manner of life had brought her under the provisions of the statute and that she would be obliged to go to London by some- other route than through the United States. Mrs. Chard was not held in custody. CHEHALIS MAN IS TARRED Centralia Hotel Proprietor Adminis ters Severe Treatment. CENTRALIA. Wash., Nov. 20. J. F. Buokland, of Chehalls, was given a coat of tar last night by J. H. Bowen, pro prietor of a Centralia hotel. Bowen declares the punishment was in flicted after numerous phone calls and letters had been sent by the vic tim to Mrs. Bowen. Buckland was enticed to the hotel here by a letter written by Bowen, but purporting to come from his wife. After enduring about 10 minutes of tarring, Buckland broke awayvfrom his tor mentor and, leaping into a buggy that he had in waiting, drove back to Che halls. The man was passed on the road by Harry Barner, a local chauffeur, who, thinking the tar on Buckland's face was a mask and that he was a high wayman, put on full speed and reported the occurrence to the local police. Bowen will not be prosecuted unless his victim files a complaint. HARVARD MAN IS SUICIDE WMtcomb Fields Fires Fatal Shot When Illness Continues. ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Although without confirmation of the reported massacre of Christians in the neighbor hood of Jaffa, officials here admit they have been apprehensive of such trou bles on the Syrian coast, where the re ligious differences between the Moham medans and the Christians are more pronounced than In other parts of the American Interests in that quarter are large, not only because oi tne ex tensive fruit trade, but because of the presence of a large number of Amer ican missionaries and educational in stitutions. Within 20 miles of Jaffa, which is the port of "Jerusalem, are three important American missionary stations, Tavyibeh, Ramallah and Ain Arrek. There also is a large jewieu population, but so far It Is not known that the Jews have been disturbed by the Turks or Arabs. The foreign warships have been lying at Beirut, about 150 miles north of Jaffa, and presumably one of these has been 'dispatched to the latter port. Rear Admiral Knight, on the armored cruiser Tennessee, is now speeding di rectly for Beirut. His ship is due at Gibralter tomorrow, but it will require almost a week's time for the cruiser to take on coal and traverse the length of the Mediterranean to the Syrian coast.

Albert C Jones, recently sentenced to a year In Jail for contempt as a result of attempting to Metal Plates "THIS ONE THING I DO." Although rubber or v u 1 c a nit e plates are the most common, they are by no means the best. Many people that are. wearing rub ber plates, and getting little or no satisfaction, lay their troubles to their mouth, and not the plate. That is not so. Rubber is a vege table compound, and contains a poi sonous coloring matter. This does not affect some mouths, while it ab solutely ruins others. Plates made of aluminum m e t al always give complete satisfaction, as they are pure, clean, smooth, light and last a lifetime. Being a mineral com pound, they have no harmful effect upon the tissues of the mouth. We make both s w e d g e d and cast alumlnumplates in our office. We also repair all kinds of old plates.
