IS DIVORCED Long-Distance Service Given to Rivals' Subscribers. WILSON COMMENDS PLAN "Big Business'' Declared to Prefer Obeying Anti-Trust Law to Fight ing It Pacific Coast Suit Is Not Affected, WASHINGTON", Dec. 19. Attorney General McReynolds made 'public to night details of an agreement for reorganization of the American Tele phone & Telegraph Company, the "telephone trust," which will prevent litigation to dissolve that corporation under the anti-trust act and under which competitive conditions would be restored in the telephone service of the entire country and the combine will dispose of Its holdings in the Western Union Telegraph Company. .The reorganization plan originated with the company, although it followed many reports that a suit against it might be filed. It was regarded by Department of Justice officials tonight as the most striking Indication offered in a decade that "big business" has come to the conclusion that it is better to follow the Sherman law than to fight President Approves Plan. The plan met not only the approval of the Attorney-General and his chief "trust buster," G. C. Todd, and officials of the subsidiaries of the combine, but was heartily approved by President Wilson. "In a letter to Mr. McRey nolds the President expressed his ad miration for the attitude of the tele phone company and his conviction that such, conduct on the part of business men meant a. building up ot business on sound and permanent lines. Coming on the heels of the an nouncement that Postmaster-General Burleson is interested in Government ownership of telephone lines, the ac tion of the Department of Justice took an added significance and some officials went so far as to express the opinion that it indicated legislation to acquire the country's telephone business would not be pressed by the Administration at the present session.

"There is absolutely no likelihood of the calling of a special session of the Legislature to consider the so-called eugenic mar riage law," said Governor McGovern today. Never befor have the people of Wis consin been so aroused over a state bill. Ministers appear to be leading the defense of the bill, while doctors are heading the opposition. Ministers say that the measure will lead to a general uplift of the future generations and base all their argu ments on the ethical side, while the doctors oppose the law, saying ' that the 13 fees for examination of all pros pective bridegrooms is far too small and that they will refuse to make the examinations. County physicians "who are permit ted to make the examinations, say they cannot do so because they are not equipped to make the tests as re quired by the law. CASE IS LOST BY WINNER R. W. Fidler, Who Gets $1 Damages Against Road, Must Pay Costs. BAKER, Or., Dec. 19. (Special.) R. W. Fidler tonight won a verdict of tl damages from the O.-W. R. & N. Company for damaged feelings for be ing ejected from a train which he boarded at Haines in September with out having a ticket- Judge-Anderson this - morning refused to nonsuit the case on the company's motion, and the company put up a defense which prac tically limited the amount of damages to the humiliation suffered by the young Haines man. The jurors, in making the verdict, intended to make such a one as would put the costs which were heavy on the railroad company, but the plaintiff must bear his own costs, as, under the law, a verdict of $50 or more is re quired before the defendant must bear the entire costs.

IS STATE'S WITNESS Wife's Arrival in Port land Surprise. BROTHER PUT ON STAND TOO Western Trip of E. E. C. Von Klein in 1911 Told. "LEWIS" ENTRY IDENTIFIED Attorney Defending Polygamous Charges Intimates Client Will N"ot Testify but That Evi dence May Be Presented. The unexpected appearance of Mrs. Louise Illstrup Von Klein, of Minneap olis, as a witness against her husband. E. E. C. Von Klein, on trial, charged with polygamy, was the feature ot the third day's session. The prisoner was taken completely by surprise, Dis trict Attorney Evans and Deputy Ma gulre having given no intimation that the first wife of he prisoner would be a witness against him. The prisoner's brother, Louis Von Klein, was called by the state as a wit ness also. Wife on Stand 20 Mlnntes. Mrs. Von Klein was a good witness, told her story plainly, clearly and quietly, and retired to her hotel as soon as she was excused from the stand. She was on the stand only about 20 minutes. It was evident that she was nervous before she had com pleted her testimony, but remained cool until she was excused. After she had retired to a private room she al most broke down from nervous ex citement and' refused to be seen by anyone except her immediate friends. Mrs. Von Klein arrived in Portland last Saturday accompanied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ruth Illstrup, and an attorney, but had not attended any of tha. sessions of tbe. trial, until called yesterday. When her name was called as a witness she came to the stand from Judge Kavanaugh's private cham bers and returned as soon as her ex amination was concluded. Surprise Declared Evident. Her husband apparently was taken by complete surprise when she was announced as a witness and watched the crowd in the back of the court room closely, evidently expecting her to come from that part of the room. When she appeared from the side en trance he looked at her closely and then spoke to his attorney. All the while she was on the stand he kept his eyes glued on her, but not once did sho face him or allow their eyes to meet. Several times during the cross-examination she faced Attorney Hume to answer his questions. Not once during the afternoon, even when he first realized thac nts wife was to testify against him, did the prisoner lose the confident smile that he has worn during all his trials. Portland Registry Identified. Mrs. Von Klein testified to her mar riage to the defendant in Michigan City, Ind.. March 25, 1902. She knew her husband was on the Coast in the Fall of 1911, she said, and received cards from him. "Several were from San Francisco," she said, "and I think he sent me one from Portland." She was shown the Portland Hotel register on which Von Klein Is alleged to have registered as George B. Lewis, and identified tho handwriting as that of her husband. On cross-examination she admitted that the Minneapolis home is in her name and that she is the beneficiary in a $20,000 insurance policy. Von Klein attempted recently to substitute Mrs. Rena B. Morrow as beneficiary in this policy, she testified, but was re strained by the Minneapolis court in which her divorce suit is pending. Louis Von Klein, a local automobile dealer and brother of the prisoner, was questioned as to letters written by his brother which he Is alleged to have at tempted to carry out of the Jail and mail to persons in the East. - When shown the letters and asked if they were addressed in his brother's hand writing, be said they looked as though they might have been, but would not swear that they were the same letters. Defease Frosataes Surprise. When court convenes Monday two more witnesses will be called by the state In its direoi case. It is not known yet whether any witnesses will be called by the defense. In examining prospective Jurors Attorney Hume asked them if they would be prejudiced by the defendant exercising his statu tory right of not taking the stand. In dicating that the same course would be pursued at this trial as at the two former trials, at neither of which any testimony was offered by the defense. On the other hand. Attorney Hume has -intimated that he might spring a sur prise by calling a few witnesses. The Von Klein trial will not be re sumed today, to allow Judge Kava naugh to hear naturalization applicants and hear his regular week-end motion docket. Other witnesses on the stand yester day who repeated the testimony offered at the former trials were Deputy Ma gulre, G. J. Kaufman. Joe Day, Franl H. Beatty. Walter Geren, Fred Mallett and District Attorney Evans. IS E
