Newspaper Page TextTIIE MORXING" OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1914. INTENT TO CREATE L Mme. Caillaux Says She Went to Figaro Office Prepared for "Eventualities." WOMAN WEEPS ON STAND Consequence of Act "Profoundly Re gretted'-y Conflicting '.stories Explained by Emotion Af ter Neglect to Dine. PARIS.-. March 26. "Why did you Caillaux today. It was her fourth ap pearance before the magistrate, who la investigating her assassination of Gas ton Calmette, the editor of Figaro. "Why did you buy a revolver?" asked Boucard, "if your object in calling on Calmette was to talk about letters which you feared would be published." "I was prepared for eventualities," was the reply. "If he did not give me .satisfaction, I meant to shoot him and create a scandal." The next- question the magistrate asked was: "Then why did you not speak to M. Calmette about the letters before shoot ing him?" Object of Visit Forgotten. "I lost all idea of the object of my visit when I entered his office. My voice seemed stifled. A fear took hold of me which even today is inexplicable. I lost my head and fired," replied Mme. Caillaux. M. Boucard reminded Mme. Caillaux that her statements to him were in consistent with those she' made to the police commissary an hour after the shooting had occurred. Mme. Caillaux replied: "That may well be. I had had no luncheon or dinner. This fact and the emotion which overpowered me made It impossible for me to give the com missary a coherent explanation. I meant to shoot if M. Calmette gave me no satisfaction, but I did not mean to kill him." Plartol Practice Explained. Examined as to why she had prac ticed pistol shooting, Mme. Caillaux re plied: "I did not practice .with the object of learning to shoot but" merely to familiarize myself with the working . of the automatic pistol." ' With a cry of indignation Mme. Cail laux reminded the magistrate how the lgaro had baited ner nuBDana aDout the "thy Joe" letter. She then began to weep. "I regret profoundly the consequences of my act," said the witness, amid her tears. "I would- prefer - a thousand times that the campaign had continued rather than I should have killed M. Calmette. It is impossible to find in my act another cause than that which I have given." "In attacking your husband," the magistrate said. "M. Calmette was fighting the politician, not the private citizen. Moreover, the letter signed Thy Joe' concerned another woman." Banter Declared Not Politics. j "Yes," the .witness responded, "but it was X who -succeeded that woman as .the wife of M Caillaux. I will recall to you how M. Calmette in an article on March 16 bantered my husband re garding the vtimate " nature of this letter, and that 4s -not politics." M. Caillaux told the magistrate she had received on March 15 an anony mous letter which ehe had since de stroyed, informing her of the imminent publication of letters concerning her. Asked by Mr. Boucard to enlighten him regarding the contents of the let ters, the . publication of which she feared, Mme. Caillaux said they con-, cerned the private life of her husband and herself. The inquiry into the Rochette affair by the special committee of deputies practically was concluded today and a report will be presented to the Cham ber at an early date. n i rui- I r nirr mi ujimhma rLHUuc id nirrz nv riH v mimh Bubonic VTlctlm Dies and Two Others Are Suffering From Disease. HAVANA. Cuba, March 26. The existence of bubonic plague was con firmed officially today, when" Carlos Arechaga, a Spaniard, 12 years old, died from the disease. He was the first victim officially reported. The boy's body was wrapped In blankets impreg nated with disinfectant, placed in a zinc casket and buried. Two others are declared officially to be suffering: from bubonic plague. Both are in a. critical condition. The sanitary department has invited all the physicians in the city to examine and study the cases. Sanitary precautions for the prevention of the spread of the plague are being re doubled. ARMY RESTORES RIGHTS Released Soldier-Prisoner Is Per mit ed to Re-enter Service. LBAVENWORTH, " Kan., March 26. Arthur Sullivan, a' military prisoner here, is the first soldier to benefit -under the War Department's new rule permitting military offenders to be re stored to service after serving their sentences, officials at the local mili tary prison said today. Sullivan was sentenced for a misdemeanor some months ago and his sentence expired today. Heretofore a prison sentence for a military offense meant perpetual dis barment from the service and a dis honorable discharge. Cement Rate Increase Suspended. WASHINGTON', March 26.

The Treasury De partment today issued a charter to Reardan National Bank, of Reardan, Wash., with capital of $50,000. H. G. . Burns is president and E. A. Davidson Is cashier. SGAiJOA ADMTTED PROPOSED LOCATIONS OF INTERSTATE K SITE RECOMMENDED . YESTI FAVORED LOCATION. SHOWN BY HEAVY LINE, CONNECTS UNION AVENUE, PORTLAND, WITH WASHINGTON STREET, VANCOU VER, PATTON AVENUE AND VANCOUVER AVENUE AP . PROACHES ARB ALSO SHOWN. ECISII IS mONDAY Multnomah and Clarke Com missioners Confer. LAND' PURCHASE ADVISED Mr. - Harrington Gives Estimated Cost of Union Avenue Approach at $254,000 and AVashington Street at $35,000. . rContlnucd From First yage.) and finally concluded by approving and recommending Washington street. In Vancouver, and Union avenue, in Port land. The bridge would be construct ed from the foot of the street, where the ferry now lands, and strike Hay den Island, and cross that west of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany's track crossing Columbia Sloughi and then pass to. union avenue. Governor West recommended, and was seconded by Commissioner Llght ner, that the matters pertaining to Washington street be referred to the Clarke County Commissioners, and the matters pertaining to the Oregon ap proach be referred-to the ' Multnomah County Commissioners. The motion carried. Governor West, when asked If he ap proved of the sites recommended by Mr. Harrington, said: "The question, I believe, is an en gineering one, and I will probably be guided by his selection, but I have not yet had time to look over the proposed plans. I will do- this before the meet ing Monday." Mr. Lightner said that he was much pleased with the entire matter and indicated he was satisfied with the recommendations. Crowd, Too, Satisfied. When Mr. Holman asked the audU ence if any had anything to say not a sound was uttered, and Mr. Har rington said: , "It must have pleased them all or made them all very angry." When Columbia street was started In as a winner a few days ago, those who had been in favor of Main street turned their lupport to Washington street and part, at least, of a fund subscribed to buy certain property, should the Main-street ite be chosen, volunteered to liive the money applied towards de creasing the expense to, the county in acquiring certain rights on Washing ton street. Three Approaches Favorable. Everyone here seems well satisfied, as any one of the three streets. Main, Columbia or Washington streets are favorable approaches. E. Brong, a real estate dealer of SHOWING Portland, said that he would absorb the expense for the Tight of way from Patton avenue through the Riverton Laod Company's line. It is -probable that the ferry will land at the foot of Columbia street when construction begins, and when the bridge is completed the ferry probably will run no more. Mr. Harrlngton'B report as read here today follows, in part: Costa of Approaches Given. "The length, cost and character of the portion of the1' structure between the south side of Oregon Slough and the abutment on the Vancouver side of the river are substantially the same on all practicable sites; hence, in this re port, only costs of the various ap proaches beyond these limits are dis cussed, since they afford the compari sons necessary for selection. "The following are the estimated costs of the Vancouver approaches: r , ' Con Location ' struction. Damages. Total. Jefferson St 183.000 2,000 Columbia St. ." 13.000 $17,500 32.500 Washington St. .. 22,000 2,500 35,000 Reservation 26,000 2,000 - 23.000 Land, (10,000; others locations, probably nothing. "The Washington-street approach lies in the present route of travel, and therefore does not alter property val ues nor disturb business conditions. Though' it costs $2500 more than the Columbia-street and about $7000 more than the Military Reservation ap proach, we believe - its advantages greatly outweigh these differences In cost; and, therefore, we recommend its adoption. Oregon Costs oatllnd. "Th costs of the approaches on the Oregon side of the river and south of the Oregon Slough, are estimated to be as follows: "The distances between the end of the approach at Washington street, Vancouver, and the entrance to the Broadway bridge, . at Broadway and Larrabce street, and the entrance to the O.-W. R, & N. bridge at Oregon and Adams streets. ' over which most of the inter-city travel will go. first following high ground and easy grades, and second along Mississippi avenue through Lower Albina on heavy grades, as shown on the accompanying route map, are as follows: Con. Approach Land, struction. Total. Darby St. 2.-l,200 f2.'il,200 Patton Ave. $10,800 280.250 Vancouver Ave. .. 12.S0O XS0.30O 29S.1O0 Union Ave. 1U.100 - 41,000 254,100 "The entrances to Burnside-street, Morrison-street and Hawthorne-avenue bridges and to the business district on the east side of the Willamette River south of Sullivan's Gulch, the Union avenue and Vancouver-avenue -" ap proaches effect a further saving in dis tance of about one-quarter of a mile as compared to the Derby-street or-the Patton-avenue approach. -'Throughout the whole length of the bridge and approaches vehicular traf fic will encounter no grade exceeding 3 per cent, and low grades obtain on all the high-level routes in Portland. On the low-level routes from Derby-street and Patton-avenue approaches there are steep grades prohibitive of heavy traffic. ' Land Purchase Recommended. "In our letter of February 19y to you, we called attention to the strip of land 30 feet wide, lying in the middle of Union avenue, between Bryant street and the city limits, and said to be owned by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company; and we sugrested FRIDGE, E jDAY mi i r that you negotiate its purchase. We consider it essential that the county coutrol all or at least enough of this strip of the bridge approach. We are Untan avenue from lateral streets at grade, and pass over the tracks on this strip ot the brldeg approach. We are advised that the Portland Railway, Light & -Power "Company have com mitted themselves, by writing to the city, to the common use of their tracks by other 'electric railways from Ply mouth street north, to afford other car lines adequate entrance to Union ave nue; to release all of their rights to this strip of land, except their rights to maintain their tracks and to operate their lines over them; and to construct at their own expense their, tracks and the paving- about them throughout, the length of this strip. . The bridge over Oregon Slough is best located substantially, whether the approach continues southward to Derby or to Patton, Vancouver or Union ave nue. The chance "that more of the upper end of Hayden Island may be cut away by the river makes Inadvisable any location further up stream, and there is no advantage to be secured by placing the bridge further west. v "The shortest available route having easy grades suitable for heavy traffic is Vancouver avenue. But the street is unpaved; the coBts of the approach is greater on Vancouver avenue, than on any other street seriously consid ered; the width is only 60 fee, or 36 feet between curbs, which is less than the planned width of the roadway on the bridge and its approaches, whereas the principal street leading to the bridge should be wide enough to ac commodate the four lines- of traffic from the bridge and leave room for vehicles to stand at the curbs, other wise its traffic facilities are not equiv alent to those of the bridge; therefore, Vancouver avenue is not a suitable ruote. - "The Derby-street route joins the Patton-avenue route at Kilpatrick street. The cost of the bridge ap proach on it , is much lower than on either Vancouver or . Patton avenues and a little lower than on Union av enue. The route is favorable, also in that it connects "Vancouver with an important and apparently growing manufacturing district at Kenton. But this route is one-third of a mile long er than the Patton-avenue route and, as in the case of Patton avenue, its adoption would divert traffic from es tablished routes and disturb business conditions without compensating reasons." CONFESSION. CALLED FAKE Continued From First Page.) to put under there was to be used in bribing the Jury, wasn't it?" McGruder "Well, wait a minute. I don't like to have you say that." Bribe Is Discussed. Sullivan "You knew that was to bribe the jury?" McGruder l don't believe any of That is the wrong kind of statement, the wrong kind." Sullivan "You know that the Jury was bribed, don't you?" McGruder "I certainly do. I under stand that and I know it very well." Sullivan "Well, listen. This money that you used to leave under the win dow sill for the bailiff, that 'was sup posed to be used to buy booze for the jury. I know, Mack, that it was." McGruder I guess that is right. All right. I guess you are right. In. his sworn statement Bramfleld says that he did not see either of the two persons in the room, but that he recognized Sullivan's voice. He under stood, however, that the other man In the room was McLaln S. Cooper, and that was the impression given, it is understood, to Governor Hanna of North Dakota, when he " issued . the requisition. . Alibi Is Offerefl. Herbert Barry, an employe of the McLain ranch, at Hood River, where Cooper also is employed, testified yes terday.-that be- has trtspt with Cooper every night -since last December and that it was Impossible for Cooper to have been in Portland at the time the alleged confession was given.. Cooper was arrested at Hood River a few weeks ago on the advice -of the North Dakota authorities following Bramfield's- presentation of his report. A few days before his arrest. Cooper testified, he received a. letter from Sullivan, written in familiar terms and referring to the "good times" they had had in Portland. It is the theory of J. J. Fitzgerald, attorney for the young man, that , this letter was written In the hope that it would be found on his person at the time of his arrest, thus enabling him to strengthen the al leged confession obtained in the Im perial Hotel. Cooper destroyed the let ter before his arrest. Attorney Fitzgerald also brought out that Sullivan and therswho were In strumental in causing Cooper's arrest told the court at Hood River that the State of North Dakota had been con ducting a relentless search for more than two years for the young man, and that thousands of dollars had been spent in the effort to find him. Concealment Is Denied. Cooper declared that he has at no time attempted to conceal his identity or his whereabouts. Ellis McLain, I. F. McLaln, J. E. Cronan and other wit nesses said that Cooper has lived in Hood River. Hlllsboro and other parts of Oregon with the full knowledge of all his acquaintances and without any apparent endeavor to hide himself. .- "Were there any rumors of jury brib ing at the time of the trial?" asked Mr. Fitzgerald. ., ' v "There were all kinds' of . rumors," Cooper answered. "There were rumors that 1 had stabbed my -roommate when I was going to agricultural school at Fargo. .There were rumors that I had murdered a Finlander who had been employed by my father and who was found murdered some time after his disappearance with $200 or $300 in his pocket." . . . . ."When you left North Dakota were they looking for you?" asked Miss Hobbs. ,; "No." "Was anybody ever charged with jury bribing while you were there?" she questioned. "No." t - Miss Hobbs Asks Questions. "What is the occasion, then, for this lapse of time?" Miss Hobbs wanted to know. Attorney Skulason explained that the evidence had just been gathered in North Dakota and tnat plenty of in formation was on hand back there to establish a jury-bribing case." "Wouldn't it have been a wise plan to send it to us?" she asked. Miss Hobbs questioned further into Sullivan's activity in the case. She wanted to know by whom he was em ployed. While this could not definitely be established Attorney Fitzgerald con tends that he is a Pinkerton man, as he says that the Plnkertons secured his release after he had been arrested for passing worthless checks at the Imperial Hotel following the Mc Gruder episode. Sullivan's dificulty with the checks Is what led to the charges of his al leged dealings with McGruder. Sulli van previously had attempted to form an acquaintance . with Kills McLain, and had. it is charged, boasted at the Oxford bar of his friendship with McLain, who is a man of considerable financial responsibility in Portland. Snloonman Is Suspicions. At tho time of rlulivan's arrest "Billy" Dlgnan, proprietor of the Ox ford, called McLain on the telephone. McLain told him that he had no inter est in the man whatever. When Sullivan appeared as one of the officers in causing Cooper's arrest at Hood River, McLain" went to Dignan to learn what he knew of Sulivan. . He told Dlgnan of the "confession" and declared that he believed it a fraraeup. FIGHTING RESUMED NORTH OF TORREON Federal News Sent From Bat tlefield, While Rebels Also - Tell of Victory. DETAILS STILL LACKING Message. From General Maas Inter preted as Meaning Villa Has 1 Been Driven Back Floes Say City Is Surrounded. WASHINGTON, Marcs 26. The con stitutionalist sscBcr here tonljckt grave oat the .following; tele&ram from Rafael Musquls, constitutionalist agent at El Passi "Gomes Palaclo and I'-rdo are In our hands and Torreoo Is completely surrounded. We are expecting victory at any hour." EAGLE PASS, Tex.. March 26. After the repulse of General Francisco Villa and his rebel army, fighting has been resumed near Torreon at Noe, a few miles north of Gomez Palacio. - This was the substance of a dispatch to federal headquarters' in Piedras Negras late today, said to have been sent direct from the battlefield by General Joaquin Maas. An earlier message, which was ex plained related to events of last night, said: "Our arms victorious at Gomel Palaclo. More than 2000 killed, wound ed and prisoners. Cavalry .pursuing." Federal officials at Piedras .Negras Interpreted the later mesage'from General -Maas a3 meaning that Villa had been driven from Gomez Palaclo, but whether the engagement - at Noe was a final stand by the rebels in re treat or a renewal of the attack on Torreon could not be explained. The federal dispatches reached Piedras Negras over the government wire into Monterey. ' General Maas, military goverpor of the northern zone of Mexico, was re ported in a Mexico City dispatch to have gone from Monterey with 700 men in armored automobiles to reinforce Velasco at Torreon. POSITION DEE5IED CRITICAL. Army Strategists Point Out Dlffi- - eultics Surrounding Villa. WASHINGTON. March 26. Not since the successful assault of OJinaga has there been so much interest mani fested here in the details of the Mex ican campaign' as in the present at tempt of the rebel general. Villa, to capture the important federal base at Torreon. The State Department has its repre sentative at the front in the person of Vice-Consul Carothers. on terms of personal intimacy with Villa, but so far it has heard nothing from the Vice-Consul, except a brief message last night that results had not been determined. Army officers here believe that Villa's situation is critical. They point out that it would be impossible for him to proceed- on his march toward the City of Mexico, leaving a strong fed eral base on his line of communica tions, while, on the other hand, he cannot remain indefinitely in his pres ent position outside of Torreon for lack of means to keep his army in food, water and ammunition. The nec essity of gathering most of his troops at the front has thinned the consti tutionalist leader's lines of communi cation with his base at Chihuahua, and if these should be cut by a force of federals from Saltillo or Monterey the rebel army would be in a desperate pllsht. The Army strategists here are convinced, therefore, that if Villa does not succeed in breaking down the op position at Torreon quickly he will be obliged to undertake a hurried retreat to Chihuahua to reorganize and strengthen his forces. Conditions along the Texas border are much better than they normally are, according to information reach ing President Wilson. . The President told callers that newspaper editorials and the Judgment of impartial ob servers showed that a good many of the raids and border difficulties which occur ordinarily had been stopped.

Soft, swirling, clinging crepes, supple yet crispy fresh taffetas, heavy, richly flowing moires, and a vast variety of oth , ers. In the Spring, it is true, tout le monde is interested in silks. It was one day months ago that M. Ro dier (than whom there is no greater silk weaver in the world) walked into his fabrique at Bo hain and threw down tipon the floor an armful of glorious sweet peas. "These colors!" he cried in tones of command, "weave them, for me in the finest of crepons!" For M. Rodier to com mand is for'others to perform. His artists, loom workers and dyers made all haste to obey, and in a few weeks great lengths of crepons in the colors of the sweet peas, the petunia and the soft yellow that are just a few shades brighter than old lace, came from the looms of Bohain. It is a pleasant change from the crudely bar baric splendor which has dazzled us for some little time. . A huge package' of new silks has just come by express to the Lipman-Wolfe silk department.
