THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, MAY 30, 1914. 9 3 GIRLS 1ELL OF FRII5' CLUB VISIT Three Traveling Men Took Them to Milwaukie but Left Anger, Is Told. in DEFENSE FIGHTING HARD L's-Clty Attorney Long Defends Son and Two Otlier Prisoners Mar Ian Hoffman Tells Steward She Is 21 Years of Age. Three sjirls. each under 20 years of age, testified yesterday afternoon in an exhaustive preliminary hearing of the cases against Dr. Kenneth T. Long, Dr. J. O. Nlbley and Archie Myers, who are charged. In conectlon with an in vestigation or the Friars Club, at Mil waukie. of having contributed to the delinquency of the girls. Joel M. Long, ex-City Attorney and father of Dr. Kenneth Long", one of the defendants, was chief counsel for his fon and the two others, but John H. Hall, ex-United States District Attor ney, did all the questioning of wit nesses. John Dltchburn. twice candi date for the Circuit bench, is another of counsel for the young men. The presence of a court reporter, hired by the defendants, was construed to show their determination to- utilize all pos sible means of defense. The three defendants, typical young professional men, quietly and neatly dressed and all wearing noseglaases. were in court and watched each girl witness as she told of her alleged treatment at the hands of the defend ants. Hoffman Girl Is 16, It Is Said. Josephine Gearhart and Esther Gib son supported the statements of Marian Hoffman, who is the minor named in the complaint and to whose delinquency the men are charged with contribut ing. Esther Gibson said she was only 16 years of age, and she looked it. Mies Gearhart said she was 20 years old. Marian's mother, Mrs. Mollie Hoffman, testified that her daughter was only 16 years old, having been born in Missouri, September 17, 1897. Judge Stevenson, in the face of an audience of men and women and one squalling baby, adjourned to the small jury room for a private session, but the presence of a great number of witnesses for the defense made a hear ing In the larger courtroom necessary, and he was obliged, against hia will, to hold open court. The case continued from 2 to 5 o'clock, chiefly taken up ' with search ing and detailed cross-examination, which caused, the girl witnesses to lower their faces from the gaze of ie crowd and hesitate in their answers. Josephine Gearhart, a handsome blonde, of full figure, high color and red-gold hair, was dressed in a shep herd's plaid suit, with lace yoke, a wide black velvet girdle and a white felt hat, with a green band. She spoke unhesitantly of her previous expe riences with men and showed spirit only when the point arose as to the girls "picking up" three traveling men at Park and "Washington streets the night of their visit to the Friars' Club. "Did you join in talk with these three men?" queried Attorney Hall. "No, sir," flashed hack Josephine. "They joined in talk with us." ilrls G to Friars' Club. She told how the girls went with three traveling men to the Friars' Club after visiting the New Republic Grill, Ht Park and Morrison streets, where they had several drinks. They danced at the club until an early hour in the morning, she said, and then the men wanted them to go to "Frenchy" Grat ton'i hotel in Milwaukie. This they refused to do and the three men later left them, in anger, she said. Then they met the defendants, who offered to take them to town. Arriving at the home of J. E. Long, a man not connected with the case, though the brother of one defendant, they entered, drank beer, played the piano and left an hour later. The testimony of the other girls supported her, and Marian Hoffman, the complaining witness, was positive and determined in her testi mony. Marian Hoffman, a little brunette, was led by Attorney Hall into details as to her relations with S. W. Green, the 68-year-old lodge organizer, who is now bound over to the grand Jury on a charge of contributing to her de linquency. Jule Wilber, steward and actual head of the club, was brought into the case when Hall hinted -that the girls had been ordered outof Ahe place because of their youth. Deputy District Attor ney Delch took ip the challenge and asked the girl just what had trans pired. "I'm 21,- Says Marian. "Why, Wilber curve over and asked me how old I was and I told him 21," said the girl. "He said. 'Would you swear to it?' and I said 'Not likely.' Then he went away and we were not troubled again. I left the place when I got ready." Wilber sat In the rear of the court room and heard the statements. Hall displayed a curious familiarity with the evidence which the prosecu tion held. At one point he referred specifically to a confession which Marian made to Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the Department of Public Safety for Women, and quoted the words of the girl. This statement was never made public and even the prosecuting offi cers, outside the department of which Mrs. Baldwin is head, did not know of this previous statement. "Did you not tell Mrs. Baldwin that, on the night of this affair, you stayed at the home of a friend whom you named?" queried Hall. "Yes, sir," answered Marian, "but I afterward changed that statement and told the truth." "You acknowledged to Mrs. Baldwin that your first statement was untrue, did you noi?" asked Hall. "Yes. sir,' 'replied the girl. Defense's MltacMnei Many. Bv 5 o'clock the defense had put on a number of witnesses to prove that the time set by the prosecution as the hour of the alleged delinquency was incorrect or - tlie delinquency did not oi'i-ur. Their testimony varied some what. Ellsworth Adams, a policeman, and William Stram. son of anotner policeman: Arthur Gloden. a druggist. . and Vernon Rexford, a milk wagon driver, all testified for the defense. Judge Stevenson then asked how many moro witnesses wouM be examined by the defense. Hall said that the. three defendants and seven other witnesses would be called. Judge Stevenson then put the case over until Tuesday at 2 o'clock. Tom Kay, Governor West's special agent, sat in court throughout the hearing, as did Detective Hartman. of the Hartman Detective Agency. Sheriff Mass, of Clackamas County, was in tlie courtroom. Mrs. Baldwin, at whose instance the arrests were made, was not present, and Miss W. P. Chandler, her assistant, handled the case. Subpenas were left at the police fetation by Sheriff Mass for the Clack amas County grand Jury, for G. A. Thacher. a social worker, and for El mo L. Kellogg, a policeman. The lat ter two gained entrance to the club as members some time ago. It is said, in order to investigate workings of the place. Incidentally, they piled up considerable irritation . for Harvey Amos Thatcher, a police sergeant, who has received two recent phone calls from persons who claimed to represent the FrlarB' Club, and who said that his 81 admittance fee was ready for him. as his application had been rejected. Sergent Thatcher never joined the club and lays the blame on Social Worker Thacher. WORD REACHES NEW YORK Shipping- Firm Says "Whaler Herman Will Search for Crew. FRANCISCO, May 29.

OTHER INCREASES ARE SET Flonr and Wheat Tariffs on Regular Lines to Be Put Up Japanese Vessels Charge 50 Cents Lees Than Others to Japan. lumber rates to the Orient will be advanced $1.50 a 1000 feet October 1 on regular lines, the tariff to Japan, Hong-kong and Manila will be increased from $8 to $12.50 and to Shanghai from $8.50 to $13. Flour and wheat rates to Japan will remain at $2.50 a ton on all except the Japanese steamship lines during; June and July, but in August they will be advanced to $3, in September to $3.50 and October to $4. To Hongkong; they will be $3 in June and July. $3.50 in August, $4 in September and $4.50 in October. To Manila the June and July tariff will hold at $3.60, , but will be advanced to $4 in August and Septem ber and $4.50 in October. To Shanghai the June and July charges will be un changed at $3.50. but in August they will be $4, in September $4.50 and in October $5. The Japanese lines operating out of Puget Sound insist on maintaining a tariff to Japan ranging 50 cents below other fleets in the Pacific conference, but the rates to Hongkong, Shanghai and Manila on the Nipponese vessels are the same as adopted by the others. The low rates prevailing on cereals and lumber were hade in the early Spring as an inducement to buyers on the other side and while considerable lumber is being: carried, there has been virtually no improvement in wheat and flour shipments. Kxports are custom arily brisk during the Fall and that is the reason steamship operators deter mined to bring about & restoration of the tariff. Full details of the changes reached the city yesterday and are satd to have been determined at a meeting Tuesday. But previous to an official understanding having been reached some business was placed for August shipment to Japan at $2.60 on a Jap anese ship and $3 for stuff to move in September. SANTA COAHA RET ITR VS HERE Alva ra do Brings Bonded Cargo for American-Hawaiian Line.

Warmer weather during the past, two days, which District Forecaster Beals says is simply the start of higher tem peratures that will prevail in the inter ior for a few days, will not advance the Willamette River here above the present stage, he thinks. In explana tion of his opinion Mr. Beala says that the Snake and Columbia have fallen also the Willamette- above Portland, and he . thinks that additional snow water to be expected from the warm spell will not offset the decline for the past few days. On the other hand if there Is no rise here in another week or 10 days, avers Mr. Beals, there will be no higher water at Portland during the remainder of the season. For 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock yesterday morning the river came up two-tenths of a foot here, standing then at 16.7 feet above zero.

SCHOONER ALVEXA IS FINED Lack of Crew List From Taltal As sessed Against Ship, Because authorities at Taltal cling to the practice of many other officials of southern countries in not returning ship papers, the skipper of the schooner Al vena, arriving at St. Helens in tow of the tug Oneonta Thursday night after & voyage from Taltal, which began April 1, was fined $100 yesterday by Collector of Customs Burke for failure to produce a crew list.
