DECISION FAVORS
WILSON ELECTORS
Effect Will Be to Cast Out at
Least One Precinct Favor
able to T. R.
WRIT OF MANDATE ISSUED
.Necessity for Entire Recount of T27
Precincts In los Angeles County
Calls for Work by Night
and Day.
I.OS ANGELES. Nov. 21. The District
Court of Appeals handed down a de
cision In the election controversy iaie
todav which Democratic leaders declare
will place California in the Wilson
column.
The decision was against the method
of the board of supervisors in canvass
ing? the returns of Los Angeles County.
The court held that the tallies should
be counted and not the certification. At
least one precinct, that of Pasadena
No. 4. will be virtually thrown out by
the decision, with a loss of 103 plurality
for all Roosevelt electors except Wal
lace.
rrmnptorr Writ Issued.
A DeremDtonr writ of mandate was
ordered issued directing the board of
supervisors to canvass the election re
turns in accordance wnn tne con
clusions set forth in the opinion.
The opinion sustained the Democrats
In all except one point involved. It was
an important point, however, Inasmuch
as a decision in favor of the Demo
cratic contention would have assured
the election of the entire 13 Wilson
electors in the state. This involved
the returns of 35 precincts which the
Democrats petitioned to be rejected
entirely because the sealed envelopes
had been opened so that corrections in
the certification could be made by elec
tion boards.
Thousand Totes Saved to Colonel.
The court held that the breaking of
the sealed envelopes prior to the time
for opening them in public was con
trary to law, "but did not constitute
such an irregularity as to require that
the returns be entirely rejected." In
these precincts Roosevelt had a plural
ity of more than 1000.
All the contentious raised by the
Democrats relative to the method of
the canvassing the returns were upheld
by the court. From the beginning of
the canvass the Democratic committee
men present insisted that tally lists be
. counted rather than the certification
totals but the supervisors took the
latter figures in preference. .
Complete Recount Necessary.
The decision caused consternation
among Roosevelt Progressive leaders
and the members of the canvassing
board, because of the brief time re
maining for the final certification and
forwarding or the returns to the becre-
tary of State, failure to do which by
next Monday would result in the vote
of the banner Roosevelt county being
lost with Its approximately 20.000
plurality for the Progressive Presiden
tial candidate.
Owing to the method adopted by the
supervisors, a complete recount of the
727 precincts in the county is neces
sary and the work of canvassing the
returns in the manner stipulated by
the court will necessitate night and
lay work continuously until the last
moment for dispatching the certified
returns to the Secretary of State.

THIRD CHILD-WIFE FREED
Three Generations Testify to Divorce
Man Who Weds Children.
ALBANY, Or Nov. 21. (Special.)
Three generations testified today in a
divorce suit in which the plaintiff was
the third 17-yea'r-old girl the defendant
had married. Fannie Whlttaker, of
Lebanon, was the plaintiff and her
mother and grandmother were the wit
nesses in her behalf. Judge Galloway
granted her a divorce from G. M. Whlt
taker. It developed in the trial of the case
that Mrs. Whittaker was the defend
ant's third wife and that he had mar
ried each of his three wives when they
were 17 years old. His first two wives
were sisters.
Fannie Whittaker testified that when
the defendant married her he said he
was 33 years of age, but she learned
afterward from his sister that he was
45., He was older than her father, at
the time of the marriage, she confessed
on the witness stand.
Mr. and Mrs. Whittaker were mar
ried in this city January 31, 1910, and
resided in Lebanon until about Sep
tember 1, 1910, when they moved to
Montana. After. they had lived in Mon
tana a few weeks, the plaintiff tes
tified, her husband told her that he
did not care to support her longer and
gave her enough money to return to
her mother In Lebanon.
Mrs. Whittaker testified that her
husband sometimes abused her and
that he once struck her with a whip
following a quarrel which arose when
she remonstrated with him for the
severe punishment he was inflicting on
his three children by his former wives.
MMISTER POT IN JAIL
PORTLAND LAWYER ARRESTED
OX TRAIN GOING SOUTH.
Man Wanted in Vice Investigation
Protests That He Is Innocent and
Begs for Release in Vain.
MEDFORD. Or.. Nov. 21. (Special.)
Attorney E. S. J. McAllister, who has
been accused as a member of the Port
land vice clique, was arrested on the
Southern Pacific train No. 13 today
upon telegraphic advice from Roseburg.
Mr. McAllister first denied his identity,
but when confronted by friends ad
mitted he was the man loooked for.
Authorities believe he was trying to
leave the state, although McAllister de.
clared he was going only as far as
Ashland.
When asked why he had not returned
to Portland today, as he had promised.
to face the warrant for his arrest, Mc
Allister said he had received a tele-
graphia request from his law
partner to meet him in Asniana
and have a conference before returning
north, as he needed a rest and wanted
to consider his defense before facing
the Portland authorities.
Before he was locked up, McAllister
sent the following telegram to Upton:
"Am coming to Portland tonight. An
swer quick."
As soon as instructions are received
from Portland it is expected that Chief
HIttson will take his prisoner to that
city. McAllister objected strenuously
to being locked up in the cramped
quarters of the Jail like a common va
grant, and pleaded with the police to
allow him to return on his own recog
nizance.
"I am not a criminal," he declared.
Anyone who knows me knows I could
not be guilty of the unspeakable prac
tices with which I am charged. Take
every cent I have. Chief, take my hand
bag, only give roe enough for a bite to
eat. and I will pledge my word to re
turn to Portland if the authorities
want me." .
In spite of his protestatiqn, the au
thorities are of the opinion that McAl
lister found things getting tbo hot for
him and was bent on escaping from the
state when apprehended. He is well
known in Medford. having conducted a
campaign here for the prohibition
movement a few years ago, and many
friends visited him at the jail. To all
of them McAllister maintained his in
nocence, but he admitted that the
charges he faced were grave ones. He
stood in his cell smoking cigars one
after another, nervous, desperate, and
every little while breaking out in
pleading for his release.
' McAllister Given Release.
Late last night McAllister was re
leased from Jail at Medford on tele
vrinhir 1 n k t ru r tlonit from District At
torney Cameron, as Circuit Judge
uatens accepieu pu iii me buiii ui
S1000.
The Medford Chief of Police tele
phoned Deputy District Attorney Col
lier, who has personal direction over
the case, that McAllister said he wished
to return to Portland last night on
the Shasta Limited.
SISTER FOILS KIDNAPERS
I GIRL THROWS HERSELF IN
front of automobile.
Delay When Driver Stops Machine
Gives Police Chance to Capture
Child's Abductors.
CHICAGO, Nov. 21. Lulgi Naorao,
a young Italian girl, threw herself in
front of an automobile today and thus
prevented the kidnapping of her 15
year old sister, Nicollata, who had
been seized near her home and thrown
into the car. Rather than run down
Lulgl, the driver of the machine
stopped and the delay gave the police
time to capture the would-be abduct
ors. Police assert that the leader of the
kidnappers, who gave his name as
Lucchla Cera, came from West Ham
mond, the village in which Miss Vir
ginia Brooks conducted an anti-vice
crusade.
In the automobile were found a re
volver and a handkerchief saturated
with chloroform. John Ulrich, driver
of the car, said that he was employed
by an automobile livery company and
had picked up the men on a telephone
order to the livery.

Boehm.
RULING
THREATENS
CANAL WITH DELAY
Commerce Commission Modi

SHIPBUILDERS ARE GLAD
Government Thrown Into CommO'
tion, and Officials Declare Ef
fect Will Be to Defer
, Opening Full Year.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. With a de
lay of perhaps a year In the comple
tion of the Panama Canal in prospect,
unless foreign vessels are allowed to
continue carrying material and sup
plies to the Canal Zone, the Interstate
Commerce Commission decided today to
modify its recent administrative rul
ing "that shipments destined from
points in the United States to Porto
Rico, the Canal Zone or the Philippine
Islands are coastwise shipments."
Order Virtually Withdrawn.
The precise terms of the modified
order are not yet available, but they
will amount practically to a wltnorawai
of the order. The original ruling of
the Commission was recognized in
stantly of vital importance to vessel
owners throughout the world. Under
the statutes of this country coastwise
shipping may be carried only In Amerl
can vessels. The commerce between
the United States and the Canal Zone,
Porto Rico and the Philippines now is
carried largely by vessels flying for
eign flags.
Canal Commission In Commotion.
By the terms of the Commission's
ruling shipments to the territories
named can be carried only in American
ships. The ruling was hailed Joyously
by American shipbuilders, one of whom
informed the Commission today that it
would mean the doubling of the ca
pacity of his shipyard.
The Government itself, however, and
particularly the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, was thrown Into a commotion
by the ruling. The matter was pre
sented Immediately to the Commission
with the statement that the ruling, if
it should stand, would be a heavy blow
to the construction of the Panama
Canal, delaying its completion prob
ably a year.
FLEET E

Announcement Made That Santa
Cecelia Will Be Added to Ves

SAN FRANCISCO, Noy. 21. With the
receipt of a report from Norman Vin
cent, of Seattle, specially assigned by
the shipping and commission firm of
W. R. Grace & Company to study the
lumber market in New York and the
East and the effect that the opening of
the Panama Canal will have upon It,
word also was received at the local
office of the company today that its
fleet of steamers that are to ply
through the new waterway will be in
creased by the addition of a new ves
sel. The launching of the ship, which is
to be christened the Santa Cecelia, wHl
place four carriers in the company's
new Intercoastal trade.
The Santa Cruz, which was launched
this month on the Atlantic Coast, will
go into commission immediately, to be
followed shortly by the Santa Clara, a
steamer of 10,000 tons. The Santa Cata
lans, of the same tonnage, will be ready
by August 1, 1913, and the other ves
sel will leave the ways in the following
September. In shipping circles here it
is thought the canal will be opened to
ships by September, 1913.
The new ships will carry general
merchandise into the Pacific from New
York and return by way of the canal
laden with lumber, opening the New
York market direct to California red
wood and Oregon pine for the first time.

ings of nearly 900 acres also will be
included, bringing the total up to nearly
2000 acres. The cost of the work is
estimated at 130,000.
Bids will be opened in this city Sat

age ditch between three and four miles
long, which, it is estimated, will cost
approximately (10,000.
The local office also has received
authorization to call for bids for re
moving rock obstructions in another
drainage canal which already is com
pleted except for this piece of rock
work. This cannot be undertaken lor
at least a month yet on account of the
water being too high. ,

the past month and a half, had large
crews cleaning out and repairing the
large distributing canals. This worn
is about finished now and the new work
will provide places for practically every

WALLOWA MINISTER QUITS
Rev. B. F. Meredith, of Enterprise,
May Do Evangelical Work.
ENTERPRISE. Or. Nov. 21. (Spe
cial.) Rev. B. F. Meredith, probably
the best-known minister in Wallowa
County, has asked to be released from
his charge as pastor of the Methodist
Church at Enterprise. He preached his
farewell to his congregation last Sun
day.
Mr. Meredith recently entered on his
third year as pastor of the local
church, his reassignment having been
asked unanimously by the congrega
tion. He will leave the charge for
personal reasons. He has been a mem
ber of the Idaho conference for seven
years and in that time has preached
in nearly every Methodist church in
Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho.
For two years he has been secretary
of the conference. His . future plans
are not announced, although he expects
to rest a short time and then may do
evangelistic work in Union County.
CAR SERVICE-IS DESIRED
Extension of Rose City. Park Line
Projected by Residents.
The East Seventy-second Street Im
provement Club is making a special
effort to complete the amount required
to get an extension of the Rose City
Park carilne from Sandy boulevard and
East thirty-seventh street on Halsey
street and the . Barr road to East
Eighty-second street. About 115,000 has
been subscribed, and a committee of
eight from the club is working every
day visiting property owners. A. R.
Mattoon is chairman of the committee
engaged in raising the money.
Mr. Mattoon says that the work is
slow, but that property.owners are sub
scribing as they are seen. He says
that It will be necessary to make up
the amount soon, as Halsey street Is to
be paved next year from East Thirty-
seventh to East Fifty-second street, the I
contract having been let, and if the
pavement is not laid before the track
is put down, It will delay the carilne.
At the start the committee estimated
that it will cost property owners $20 a
lot for land abutting on Halsey street
and the Barr road, with a proportionate
assessment on lots further removed.
Mr. Mattoon estimates that the line will
double the value of all property of the
district.
