GIRL TESTIFIES TO
WILKINS' ATTACK
Miss Winters Collapses After
Giving Her Experience With
Murderer of Father.
MEN SNEER AT WITNESS
Judge Clears Courtroom When Al
leged Intimidation by Couple of
Spectators Reported Court
and Attorneys In Clash.
Unstrung as a result of a Ions di
rect examination during which she de
tailed a criminal attack which she says
Lloyd II. Wilklns, who is on trial for
the murder of her father, made on her
last August, Miss Frankie "Winters
broke down yesterday afternoon under
the gruelling cross-examination . by
counsel for the defense. Court bailiffs,
deputy Sheriffs and Special Officer
Geren cleared the courtroom and the
corridors, and in about an hour the
trial was resumed, with only those
spectators - present for whom scats
could be provided.
Special Officer Geren, who .was in
the courtroom during Miss Winters' ex
amination and cross-examination, ad
vised Judge Morrow that two strange
men who had been present during the
cross-examination of Miss Winters had
continually made sneering glances at
her. Miss Winters also was under a
continual gaze of the defendant Wil
klns during the recital of her harrow
ing tale.
Special care will be taken during the
remainder of the trial to protect all
witnesses. In addition to the regular
courtroom officials. Sheriff Word has
detailed as many deputies as will be
necessary to keep the courtroom and
corridors uncongested. ,
Wife Declared AVItnesa.
Miss Winters was called to the stand
shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing and when adjournment was taken
at noon she had finished her direct
testimony. She told of her trip to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins, at Ross
Landing, last August, when the al
leged attack was made, in the pres
ence of Mrs. Wilkins.
Mlas Winters said that - hen she wa
preparing, to leave for Portland the
next morning that Mrs. Wilkins made
preparations to come along. At the
depot, however. Miss Winters said, Mrs.
Wilkins told her husband that she
would stay and forgive him If he
wanted her to stay and live with him.
"No you go on with her and stay,"
Miss Winters said Wilkins told his
wife.
This testimony was Introduced by the
state for the purpose, Deputy District
Attorney Collier said, of showing that
it was not while looking for his wife
that Wilkins went to meet Winters
when he stepped off the car at the
corner of Milwaukie avenue and Boise
street on the morning of October 12,
as Wilkins said in his confessions made
to officers soon after his arrest.
During Miss Winters' direct examina
tion at the morning session frequent
clashes between Judge Morrow and At
torney Wilson T. Hume, of the defense,
relieved the proceedings from any possi
bility of dragging.
Attorney and Court Clanb.
While objecting o the testimony of
Miss Winters, Attorney Hume made a
statement which Judge Morrow con
strued as a reflection on the Court and
the attorney was sharply reprimanded
and warned that such conduct would
not be permitted. Mr. Hume was again
reprimanded when Judge Morrow said
the Court would not allow him to im
pugn the motives of the State in Intro
ducing the testimony, as the attorney
for the defense said, of prejudicing the
Jurors.
In making further objections to the
testimony, Mr. Hume said the duty of
the Judge was to preside over the trial
and "not be a part with the prosecu
tion." Judge Morrow was on his feet In a
flash and admonished the attorney that
uch conduct was serious and must not
be repeated.
Karl Miebus, nephew of Lou Winters,
said he rodo out on the car with his
uncle the night he was murdered. The
two parted about 12:30, Miebus said,
when his uncle got off the car at the
corner of Milwaukie avenue and Boise
street.
W. H. Hart, a watchman for the Spo
kane, Portland & Seattle, said Wilkins
slept in the railroad yards at Vancou
ver the night before his arrest. Chief
of Police Secrist, of Vancouver, cor
roborated the testimony given by De
tectives Tlchenor and Hellyer.

ever." I. W. W. Send Letter to Girl.
Immediately after the committee
called on the Governor, he made ar
rangements for the protection of the
institution, and declared tonight that
lie had no fear of an attempt to take
the girl away by force.
"A letter was written to the girl
several days ago by I. W. W.'s," said
the Governor, "but she was not allowed
to see it. The Board of Control acted
on it. Among other things it urged her
to cheer up.

"When the three called on me today
and mentioned something about send
ing a "bunch" here to free the girl, I
replied:
. " 'I am fighting the other side in
other parts of the state and giving you
protection, but while at it I will fight
both sides If I think It necessary. We
will let you see the girl if an order
of court instructs us to do so, or if
she is released by an order of the
Board of Control, which, under the law,
has control of the institution. She will
ge kept there until one or two of these
things are done.'
"They, then asked If her mother
could be allowed to see her, and I said
the Board would first have to find out
that she was a proper person to see
her. Then they declared they would
take an appeal from the order of the
court in Portland, while sending Miss
Larkin to the school, and I told them
to go ahead and I would provide the
bond."
Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintendent
of the Municipal Bureau for the Pro

chairman of the advisory board of the
State Industrial School for Girls, who
arrived here tonight, declared that the

Baldwin. "Mrs. Bennett had been ar

Miss Larkin for vagrancy. I . heard
Mrs. Bennett tell the girl she was about
to be railroaded and if she should be
to decline to work. The girl is happy
and contented in the home and every
thing would be all right but for this
agitation of the Portland people
I became acquainted with her sev
eral years ago when she was sent
from Benton County to the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society, of , Portland, by the
Superintendent of the County Schools.
She was kept there for a time and then
allowed to accept employment in the
home of a prominent Portland man.
The family reported from time to time
that the girl was incorrigible, and
Anally, before obtaining her majority
she went to Vancouver. Her record
there was bad and she served a term
in Jail of 13 days.
"Upon returning to Portland she
sought aid from a friend of mine and
I was instrumental In having a. vag

Co-Operation . of Delegates Credited
Wltb Securing Resolutions Calling
for More Liberal Policy.
Co-operation on the part of Western
delegations to the Conservation Con
gress has had the effect of bringing
this section more recognition than
heretofore at the congress, according
to a telegram received at the Commer
cial Club yesterday from C. C. Chap
man in Washington, D. C.
Following is the text of the message:
"As result of co-operative work, by
Oregon - Washington - Idaho, Montana
California and Arizona delegations Na
tional Conservation Congress, approved
Western policies and resolutions com
ing from Western states- for more lib
eral treatment of settlers and home
steaders, less oppressive bureau regu
lations and. broader policies than for
merly associated with term conserva
tion, also in interest harmony. At re
quest Coast delegates refrained from
reaffirming former platforms contain
ing matter obnoxious to the West, also
refrained from passing resolutions ob
noxious to Alaska on coal and oil de
velopment, and obnoxious to San Fran
cisco on Hetch Hetchy project, also fa
vored extension terms settlers' pay
ments reclamation projects. Commer
cial Club, Development League and
Idaho-Washington League, Lewiston,
can consistently claim principal credit
for impressing Eastern conservatists
with Western point of view. Tour
manager commissioned represent Idaho
organization. All Pacific Northwest del

many policies. C. C. CHAPMAN."

LAND MEN FACE TRIAL
HEARING OF CONWAY AND RICIIET
SET FOB MONDAY.
Government Alleges Portland Promoters
Conducted Lottery and Advertised '
It Through Mails.
J. T. Conway and Frank Richet, well-
known Portland real estate promoters.
are to go to trial next Monday in Uni
ted States District Court, charged with
using fraudulent methods in exploiting
lands In Grant, Wallowa, Malheur,
Union and Jackson counties.
Conway and Richet were indicted in
March, 1912, but owing to the illness
of Richet, the trial of the case has
been deferred.
The indictment contains two charees
One is that Conway and Richet were
conducting a lottery, and advertising
it by mail, and the other that their
advertising contains misstatements
relative to their lands, which const!
tuted a scheme to defraud.
Conway and Richet operated under
the name of the Inland Oregon De
velopment Company, and their oper
ations extended to every state west of
the Mississippi.
It is alleged by the Government at
torneys that Conway and Richet would
obtain tracts of almost worthless land,
and then advertise it as orchard land.
The land was advertised as being cut
in tracts of from 10 to 640 acres. These
tracts were all priced alike, although
this price varied at various stages of
the company s operations, ranging from
$150 to $400, according to United States
District Attorney Reames. The various
tracts would be distributed, the Gov
ernment alleges, by lottery and chance.
BETTER SANITATION URGED
Dr. Hodge Impresses Need in Exten
slon Course Lecture.
Need for better sanitation was the
principle which Dr. Clifton Fremont
DINNER.
Hodge, of the extension department of
the University of Oregon, Impressed on
his audience in the Public Library last
night. He quoted Dr. Charles Wordell
Stiles, of the Rockefeller Hookworm
Commission, to the effect that "the
Americans are the filthiest people on
the face of the earth."
Dr. Hodge said that there1 should bo
a course of sanitation in every high
school in the country and that an
elementary course should be given In
the grades. He advocated courses , in
the conservation of human life and
health in all the universities, and he
said that the University of Oregon was
the leader In this movement.
He dwelt on the menace of bubonic
plague and said that the rat was one
of the worst pests known to humanity.
He recalled when San Francisco made
a campaign against rats under the
leadership of Dr. Blue in 1907 that
there were 77 deaths from bubonic
plague that year. Health, said Dr,
Hodge,- was the universal right of
everyone, but he said not many per
sons knew enough to obey all the laws
of nature.

month by the Glbson-McNear interests.
She will receive her load on the Lower
Columbia and it will amount to about
3,500,000 feet. At present the company
will dispatch about one steamer each
month from the river for Australian
Ports. Soon after the opening of 1914

IiABAACK'S DEATH EXPLAINED
Details of How Spokane Man Jumped
Into Sea From Steamer Told.
Private Information, reaching Port
land from San Francisco, dealing with
the death of G. Damaack, of Pendleton,
who leaped overboard from the steam
er Bear at 11:30 A. M.. Tuesday, while
eh route to the Golden Gate, is that
Lamaack had. walked aft on the sa
loon deck and when within a' few feet
of a sailor working there, suddenly
vaulted the rail and Jumped into -the
sea. An alarm was given by the sailor,
who at once threw a life buoy over
the side. The vessel was stopped, a
lifeboat lowered and a search began
for the man. The boat cruised about
the spot for a time and recovered the
buoy, but so far as is known Lamaack
did not reappear after striking the
water. A similar case occurred aboard
the Bear a few months ago, Just as
she passed through the Broadway
bridge on her way to sea.
The Beaver sailed from San Fran
Cisco at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon
on her first voyage north since being
In collision with the steamer Necanl-
cum. October 80. On her arrival to

is expected to be on Ainsworth dock
to greet Captain Mason and other of
ficers. The Rose City sails today for
California and will be loaded down

have been at a premium: for several
days.
IDLE CABLB COMPLAIJfT OUT
Lack, of Xortn Sead Reports Prompts
Chamber of Commerce to Act.
Procrastination on the part of off!
cial Washington in not providing for
recommissioning the cable connecting
North Head with the Oregon shore, so
that information can be obtained here
of the movements of vessels at the
mouth of the river, also weather con
ditions, prompted the Chamber of Com
merce to communicate with United
States Senators Chamberlain and Lane
yesterday.
Experts examined the cable two
months ago and reported that while it
was intact, there was ' trouble on the
line that prevented messages being
sent. District Forecaster Beals, who
has charge of the telegraph system of
North Head, says he has reported the
matter to Washington and is awaiting
official instructions. Meanwhile marin
ers leaving Portland have no means of
securing reports as to the condition of
the bar. While wireless is available
and some reports are forwarded that
way, the fact this city lacks a public
wireless station works a handicap on
that score.
NEW TAC03IA LINE ANNOUNCED
Japanese Firm to Construct Six Ves
sels at Cost of $6,000,00-0.
TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 21. The Osaka
JShosen Kaisha will build six new
freight steamers for the run between

000,000 each, according to M. Koubaka-
wa, assistant manager, who arrived
from the Orient this morning. The
vessels will have carrying capacity of
10,000 tons dead weight.
The vessels now on the run between
Tacoma and the Orient will be placed
in service between Yokohama and
Europe by way of the Suez Canal. If
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha operates

SHIP'S RUDDER IS DAMAGED
Schooner .George E. Billings Hits
Snag: Near Astoria.
ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 21. (Special.)
While being towed from Westport yes
terday the schooner George E. Billings,
lumber laden for Valparaiso, struck a
snag. Today Captain McNaught, sur
veyor for the San Francisco Board of
Marine Underwriters, assisted by Fritz
Derock, the diver, held a survey on the
vessel. He found her rudder was brok
en and a new one will have to bo
shipped.
It is believed the work can be done
without the necessity of placing the
schooner in a drydock.
BULL RUN WATER POPULAR
Vessels Took On 83,000 Gallons
Last Month and Demand Grows.
In the October report of Captain
Speier. Harbormaster, 83,000 gallons of
water is shown to have been delivered
aboard vessels by the harbor patrol
force, and in each instance hose had- to
be laid, in a few cases 400 feet of the
rubber tube being stretched.
Th, delivery of Bull Run water has
been largely confined to deepwater
ships since the system was inaugurated
early this season, but of late coasters
operating between Portland and Cali
fornia ports have filled their tanks in
preference to getting water in the
south. There has been a big gain in
deliveries this month, some days three
and four vessels being accommodated.
As the hose must be shifted from one
dock to another, often the full length
of the harbor, and at times connected
with a small main, filling the average
tramp's tanks la no small Job.
G LENESSL I X OWNER LAMENTS
Wrecked Ship Held to Be Almost aa
Fast as Glenalvon.
In a letter to Captain Frank Andrews,
of Tacoma, John S. De Wolf, of C. E.
De Wolf & Co.. owners of the British
Bhip Glenesslin, which went on the
rocks at Necarney Mountain. October
and was a total wreck, bemoans .the
loss of the vessel.
As the Glenalvon, her sister ship, was
lost some time before, the firm was
hard hit. In writing of the Glenesslin,
Mr. De Wolf expressed himself aa fol
lows: 'It seems a crying shame that this
beautiful little vessel should have been
so wantonly thrown away," writes Mr.
De Wolf. "The first and second offi
cers apparently blame the captain, and
suppose the captain, on the other
hand, blames them; but, anyhow, -between
the lot of them they have cast
away .a fine vessel. Next to the Glen
alvon, she was our pet lamb, and there
was not much difference in their sail
ing qualities, but' I think, if anything,
the Glenalvon was the faster ship of
the two."
JAP TRAMP FOR WHEAT TAKEN
Six French Windjammers on Dis
engaged Tonnage List.
Bound to San Francisco with a coal
cargo she had aboard on departing
from Karatsu, November 18, the Japan
ese steamer Bankoku Maru is to pro
ceed here after, discharging and load
wheat cargo for the return voyage
across the Pacific. Balfour. Guthrie &
Co. are to provide the cargo.
There are five vessels lying idle
within the -Golden Gate that are avallr
able for wheat loading, they being the
French barks Noemi, General Faid-
herbe. La Rochejaqueleln, Anne de Bre
tagne and Ernest Reyer. with the
French bark Bretagne idle at Honolulu.
Their owners have refused Portland of
fers to load wheat at less than is avail
able in Australia. It is thought" most
of them will depart from the California
harbor in ballast for Australia, unless
acceptable engagements are availablo
to load lumber for porta in that
country.

the Chamber of Commerce to obtain
data on conditions in this city.
In the party were Jules Charbonnier,
general manager of the West Canadian
Colliers Company, of Blair More, Al
berta; J. S. Rannage, president of the
Continental Coal Company, of Spo
kane, and Mr. Schmidt, assistant to Mr.
Charbonnier. It is believed that with
the opening of the Celilo Canal it may
be possible to ship the Alberta coal
into Portland and deliver it here at
price considerably lower than that
which now prevails.
