Secret Witness' Story Revealed.
I The story told by the witness who
X was examined in secret during the re-

; noon sessions of the inquest yesterday
J was revealed today.
Half an hour before the morning pro
t eeedings opened a man whose name is
i kept secret told the District Attorney
C that be Knew who shot Mrs. Bailey.
J Briefly, his statement Is as follows:
I Last Tuesday morning the woman
1 : suspect met him and a man whose
Si name he gave and who, he said, is now
J in New York. The woman agreed to
I give them $50 each if one would bring
a revolver and deliver It to her on the
'. lawn at the side of Dr. Carman's home.
The new witness and the man he de
l clared has since fled came to Freeport
! from New York on the same train with
' the woman. The man now missing had
the revolver in his pocket.
; Man Escapes With Revolver,
r At half past 7 that night he went to
' the Carman home and there met the
1 woman, who said she wanted to "scare"
someone inside. After a short talk the
woman took the revolver, the man
- propped up the screen and broke the
J window and then stood to one side
; while the woman thrust the weapon
i through the opening and fired. Then,
1 according to the story, she handed the
: revolver back to her accomplice, who
. leaped over the low fences at the side
of the house and escaped, while the
woman disappeared in another dlreo-
tion.
According to the story, the man who
told it decided to inform the authori
; ties when his companion failed to turn
I over the money collected for bringing
i the revolver from New York and car
J tying it away.
f When the Coroner's Inquest into the
murder is resumed here tomorrow
i morning several important witnesses

j WOMAN'S THREAT RECOUNTED
; Owner of Motorboat Tells of Incl-
dent on Island.
" PHILADELPHIA. July 7. John
' Howe, of this city, reported to have
-.- telephoned David Kennedy, of Free-
port, that a woman with whom Howe
was cruising had threatened to kill Dr.
Carman, was found here today and
confirmed the story told by Dr. Carman
to detectives.
Howe, in business here, said that
Bummer before the last he invited a
Freeport man and wife to an outing on
Great South Bay, L. L, in his motor
boat. He would not give their names.
"We landed at an Island," Howe said,
"and ran across David Kennedy and
Dr. Carman. I knew them both. The
moment we saw them the woman In
- our party screamed and ran back to
the boat. Her husband remained. Bur
prised and nonplussed by his wife's
actions. I ran to the boat after her.
I found her on a seat in hysterics. She
was screaming 'that man ruined my
husband and ruined me. I am going
i to kill him if it takes a lifetime.'
. She picked up a paper knife shaped
' like a dagger and started to leave the
.'. boat. I caught hold of her and kept
her back and asked whom she meant.
t 'Dr. Carman,' she said."
, Howe said the woman refused to ex
plain her actions. When her husband
t- came aboard the party returned to
. Freeport.
7 "Neither one of them spoke, of the
. incident again," said Howe. "I did not
' try to find out the reason for it, and
never gave it another thought until
this murder occurred."
Howe telephoned Kennedy of the in
.. cldent and Kennedy said he would no-
tlfy the police.
Howe -also said he had a telephone
" message from Freeport today that de
tectives had gone to the woman's
house but did not find her at home.

there again to visit their friends who
entertained them a year ago.
Fifty children have already been sent
out to the country in this year's cam
paign, although it is only begun. The
funds that were left over from last
year have served well to outfit and
pay transportaion for these first chil
dren, and contributions on the new
fund are expected to come In rapidly
enough to handle other parties.
Yesterday evening $185.50 had al
ready been subscribed on the new fund.
Money and Clothing; Needed.
Besides the money contributed to pay
for transportation and other necessary
things, contributions of clothing are
very much needed by the committee.
Shoes and clothing should be sent to
the headquarters of the Associated
Charities at 411 Commercial block, or
if they are notified arrangements can
be made to have the bundles sent for.
Wistful applications from scores of
children are coming in almost every
day; children who will have no chance
whatever to escape the weary "hot sea
son" in the city except through the
fresh air work.
"We "will have no trouble making up
our parties this year." says Mr. Man
ning, "and we will have no trouble find
ing good people In towns and farms of
the Willamette Valley who will receive
them and care for them. It is scarcely
to be doubted then that the generous
people of Portland who made possible
the success of the fresh- air work last
year, will support it as liberally once
more and make possible again the hap
piness that was given to more than 300
children and working mothers last
year." A ... .

LOAN III BIG DEMAND
French Issue of $161,000,000
Is 40 Times Oversubscribed.
PLACES IN LINE ARE SOLD
Small Investors Show Marked Eager
ness for 3 1-2 Per Cent Bonds,
but Private Securities Are Not
So Well Received.
PARIS, July 7. Although the Bank
of France has not made any official an
nouncement, It was reported on the
Bourse today that the public had ap
plied for more than 40 times the
amount of the Issue made today of
$161,000,000 of the new government 3
per cent loan. If this should prove
true, the applications have amounted
to more than the entire National debt
of France.
The loan on its admission to the
Bourse today immediately rose from
91, the price of issue, to S1.92.
The general market did not respond
sympathetically as usual when govern
ment loans are so well received, prob
ably because capital in France is un
der the apprehension that heavy spe
cial taxes are likely to be imposed.
So great was the eagerness of the
public, especially among the small In
vestors, that crowds assembled at dawn
and formed lines outside the Bank of
France and other public offices, where
subscriptions were received.
As it was known that many would be
disappointed by not being able to get
part of the new issue, a considerable
trade was driven in selling positions
near the door. Some of the places sold
for' as much as from 60 cents to one
dollar. ,
The Government as usual gave pre
ference to persons desiring small
amounts.
APOLOGY IS UNLIKELY
COLOMBIAN TREATY GROWING IN
UNPOPULARITY IN SENATE.
Two-Thirds Vote Necessary to Ratify
Not la Sight Pressure Put o
Nlearagnan Compact.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 7- Already there are In
dications, in the Senate committee on
foreign relations and in the Senate it
yat tha a H mini titration is aban
doning the idea of securing the ratifi
cation of the ColomDian treaty oi apui
ogy. After several days of effort, in
the' course of which strong opposition
to the treaty developed, the Adminis
tration turned from the Colombian
treaty to the treaty with Nicaragua,
and now the entire effort is being made
to get action on that agreement, it
being evident that a majority of the
foreign relations committee will vote
favorably when the time comes to
make a report.
Were it not for the constitutional
requirement that treaties must be rati
fied by a two-thirds vote of the Sen
ate, pressure would even now be
brought to bear to ratify the Colom
bian treaty, but the two-thirds pro
vision cannot be waived, and prelim
inary polls indicate that more than a
hii-H of the Senate is against the
apology and against the payment of
S25.000.0UU.
Moreover, some of the Colombian
lobbyists have muddled the situation
by boasting to opposition Senators that
Colombia will never accept the 25,
000,000 unless the cash consideration is
coupled with an apology and that in
the not distant future, Colombia will
get both, with the consent of the
Senate.
The activity of the lobbyists has
turned several doubtful Senators
against the treaty, and those who are
at odds with the Administration on this
issue are seeing to it that other Sena
tors are advised as to the moves and
tactics of the lobby. The Senate re
sents an effort on the outside to drive
it into taaking a specified action, and
now that the Senate finds Itself held
up by a group of lobbyists, presumably
working for a large slice of the J25,
000,000, and Individual Senators find
lobbyists boasting that the treaty will
be ratified in its present form, not
withstanding Senatorial objection, the
situation has become such that the
Administration is laboring under a
double handicap.

CUSTOMS WAY ASSAILED
FRENCH DEPUTY CALLS PROCED
URE! INSOLENT DEFIANCE.
Appropriation for Exhibit at San Fran-
el co. However, Favored for
Reasons of Policy.
PARIS, July 7. The commerce com
mittee of the Chamber of Deputies rec
ommended today the adoption of the
measure for an appropriation for an
adequate representation by France at
the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San
Francisco in 1915.
Deputy Georges Gerald, in announc
ing this decision, declared at the same
time an attack against the American
customs, particularly at New York. He
said the manner in which customs are
maintained is responsible for the dif
ferences between the French govern
ment and the commercial and Industrial
Interests on the exposition question.
The procedure of the American
customs authorities," he added, "is not
only an insolent defiance to the world
of civilized industry, but they seem
to constitute, unknown to the Wash
ington Government and contrary to
the interests of the American people.
an occult and ill-omened power over
all foreign producers and home con
sumers, acting above the laws and out
side the regulations, which, are twisted
for the sole benefit of certain interests,
for whom the courtesies shown by the
customs officials offer indisputable
guarantees of security and certainty
of profits against foreign competition.
"Nevertheless, confident of the spirit
of equity of the Washington Govern
ment and with a sense of duty to the
French," concluded Mr. Gerald, "the
committee favors the appropriation for
reasons of economic interest, general
policy and sentiment.

NEW YORK, July 7. The ashes of

The plan to hold public services Sat
urday for the three men who are dead,
Arthur Caron, Charles Berg and Carl
Hansen, was blocked today by the re
fusal of the health authorities to al
low the bodies to remain undisposed

Apparently the city authorities have
found no way to prevent a demonstra
tion from being held Saturday. They
can forbid the holding of a parade, but
cannot. It was pointed out, prevent the
agitators from taking the ashes into

to set up urns containing the ashes

DEFEAT DEEMED CERTAIN
Friends of President Talk of Second
Term, tint It Is No Secret He
Has Found Drawbacks to
Life In Washington.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 7. There is much dis
quietude among Democrats in Wash
ington over the recent publication of
a story to the effect that President
Wilson would not be a candidate to
succeed himself, but would exert his
full influence to bring about the nom
ination of William J. Bryan in 1916.
The story, emanating from John Tem
ple Graves, star reporter for Williim
R. Hearst, has caused no end of com-
. in anA it 1 the most
in ni L HI1U 6DO'W "
talked-about because of the uncer

Friends Discuss ' Second Term.
lIBLWHUSiaiiume ...w
Mr. Graves, the impression has been
general in Washington that President
Wilson would be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, although there has never
i n.,hiin ,i oronrA nf the Presi
dent himself on this subject, one way
or the othor. His most intimate friends
in Congress, however, have indulged in
much talk of the advisability of giv
ing him a second term, and have gone
to considerable pains to explain away
the one-term plank In the Baltimore
platform, and to show that it is no
more binding on Mr. Wilson than was
the Panama Canal tolls plank.
On the other hand, it is well known
that the President has spent an un
comfortable Summer in the White
House thus far, suffering not so much
from the heat as from the criticism
that has been heaped on him in recent
months because of his dictation to Con
gress, the repeal of the exemption
clause of the Panama Canal act, and
his Insistence that Congress remain in
session until the anti-trust bills are
passed.
Criticism Has Hurt.
The President has smarted quite as
much from the criticism of his Mexican
policy as from the other criticism al
luded to, and he is a man who cannot
stand criticism with good grace. Be
cause of the widespread censure of the
President and the Administration, Mr.
Wilson has been anything but happy..
There is, in fact, as much ground
for the assumption that the President
will be content with one term as for
the assertion that he will Insist on
being renominated in 1916. The Presi
dent himself has not spoken on the
subject. " .
Aside from all this, the feature
which has caused the most anxiety to
Democrats in Congress is the declara
tion that the President Intends to
throw his support to William Jennings
Bryan. That Is one thing the Presi
dent cannot do without splitting the
Democracy wide open. The dismal fail
ure of Mr. Bryan as Secretary of State;
his Chautauqua record; his utter ' in
competence In dealing not. only with
the Mexican situation, but with Japan,
and his treaty of apology with Colom
bia all have operated to impair his
standing in the Democratic party. It
is recognized by Democrats of experi
ence that Bryan is one man the Democ
racy never can elect.
Bryan's Record Against Him.
Doubtless the assertion that the
President favors the nomination of Mr.
Bryan in 1916 is based largely on the
fact that the President stands firmly
behind Mr. Bryan in all that he does
and gives attentive ear to his recom
mendations, even when they clash
with the recommendations of other
members of the Cabinet. Bryan's rec
ord, in the minds of experienced poli
ticians, however, is such that he could
never come as close to the Presidency
as he came on any one of the three
occasions when he led the Democracy
to defeat, beginning in 1896.
Mr. Bryan was strongest before the
people when he was advancing his the
ories and making promises. Except
for the few years he was in Congress,
he never had experience, of importance,
in public office, and his distinction as
a member of Congress was due to his
ability as an orator. When President
Wilson made Mr. Bryan his Secretary
of State, Mr. Bryan found himself car
rying heavy responsibilities and the
minute those responsibilities settled on
his shoulders he was shown up as an
Incompetent.
There is another reason why Presi
dent Wilson would split the Democ
racy if he should attempt to bring
about the nomination of Mr. Bryan in
1916. The party would resent the at
tempt of the President to name his
successor. That is one of the things
that is charged against Colonel Roose
velt to this day. In 1916 It may be
more difficult than in 1908 for a Presi
de"nt to name his successor, for these
are the days of primaries; there is a
strong demand even now for a Presi
dential primary, and if a Presidential
primary law should be passed between
now and 1916, the President would
have to make his appeal in behalf of
Secretary Bryan direct to the voters of
the country, and there he would be
appealing to the ones who have
weighed Mr. Bryan and found him
wanting.
It might be possible, though not at
all probable, that the President could
swing a National convention to Bryan,
Just as Bryan swung the last conven
tion to Wilson, but even that is doubt
ful. -

PEOPLE WITH THIN BLOOD
Some neonle have a tendency to be
come thin-blooded Just as others ha -e
an inherited tendency to rheumatism,
or to nervous disorders. The condition
In which the blood becomes so thin that
the whole body suffers comes on so
gradually and stealthily that anyone
with a natural disposition In that direc
tion should watch the symptoms care
fully. Bloodlessness, or anaemia, as the
medical term is, can be corrected much
more- easily in the earlier stages than
later. It begins with a tired feeling
that rest does not overcome, the com
plexion becomes pale, and breathless
ness on slight exertion, such as going
up stairs, is noticed.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a home
remedy that has been most successful
In the treatment of diseases caused by
thin blood. With pure air and whole
some food these blood making pills
afford the correct treatment when the
symptoms described are noticed. A
former sufferer from anaemia says: "I
was emaciated and did not have a par
ticle of color. I had severe headaches,
had no ambition and could Just drag
around." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
quickly restored appetite, flesh and
health. A full statement of this case
