DAVIS CONVICTED
1 MURDER CHARGE
Dallas Jury Returns Second
Degree Verdict in Less
Than Hour.
LIFE SENTENCE ENTAILED
Former Wife of Slayer of Mrs. Eliza
J. Steward at Ballston In 1913
Is Main Witness Against
HimOne Doubt Raised.
DALLAS. Or.. Aug. 19. (Special.)
Louis Davis, accused of the murder of
Eliza J. Stewart at Ballston, in June,
1313, was today found guilty of mur
der -in the second degree. The Jury
reached a verdict in an hour.
Judge Holmes set Thursday at 1
o'clock as the time for passing sen
tence. The law prescribes imprison
ment in the penitentiary for life as
the penalty for murder in the second
degree. Walter L. Tooze. Jr.. appointed
by the court to defend Davis, says ap
peal will not be made. In the former
trial the Supreme Court reversed the
case for error In the record and ordered
a new trial. .
The trial began Monday morning and
at 2 o'clock this afternoon the case was
placed in the Jury's hands. .
The state's principal evidence was
to the effect that Davis had threatened
the lives of Mrs. Stewart. Stewart, Mrs.
Mattie Davis. John M. Grant, sheriff of
this county, and others. The only doubt
raised In the case was the question
whether the bullet that killed Mrs.
Stewart was fired by Davis, the bullet
bearing the wide rifle marks of the
ordinary revolver ratljer than the nar
row groove of the automatic.
Mrs. Mattle Davis, ex-wife of the
prisoner, was the strongest witness
against him. She testified that she saw
Davis point the automatic revolver at
her mother's head, saw him pull the
trigger, saw the flash and then saw her
mother fall. She testified that while
Mr Stewart was absent from the home
in quest of aid. Davis sat in the house
with a gun threatening to use it and
that both she and her mother were in
mortal fear of him.
Strong testimony against Davis was
that he lay in an old barn near the
Stewart premises all night preceding
the trouble and that a wallow was

ky A Dallas man went to the Stewart
home last Sunday and found a bullet
hole In the wall Just below the table
upon which Davis was sitting when
Stewart and Agee entered the kitchen
where Davis, his wife and Mrs. Stewart
were conversing. Upon cutting out the
back wall a lead bullet was found.
This was not admitted in ovldence.
"Although I am convinced that the
bullet which killed Eliza Stewart did
not come from an automatic pistol,
still I have no complaint to make
against the verdict in this case," said
Attorney Tooze.

PORTLAND PHYSICIAN SAYS WAR
IS SERIOUS SETBACK.
Turmoil of Conflict to Destroy Euro
pean Center of Beauty and
Higher Education.
"Americans who visited Europe this
Summer either as students or as sight
seers may account themselves lucky,
for It will be many years before they
will have the opportunities again
which will be destroyed in the turmoil
of the present war." saj-s Dr. A. E.
Mackay.
The Portland physician has Just re
turned from a seven-months' trip in
Europe both a a sightseer and as an
investigator In the medical Institu
tions of the continent.
Dr. and Mrs. Mackay sailed from
Southampton on the Olympic before the
war was declared between Germany
and Great Britain, and the news came
by wireless after they were out to
sea.
"We had an inkling of the approach
ing trouble before we sailed when some
of the officers Of the Olympic, who
are British naval reservists, were
ordered to report for duty. When we
another boat, we would be still in
England, in all probability.
"We left two days before the close
of the Clinical Congress of American
surgeons In London. Several of the
doctors from Portland who stayed for
the end of the congress are still there.
Among these is Dr. Luther Hamilton,
Dr. W. T. Williamson, Dr. Mary Mc
Loughlln, who had come over to Lon
don from Freiberg, where she had been
studying investigations, and several
others.
"I am very glad that I was able to
make this trip at such a fortunate
time. It has been 20 years since 1
was on the continent and I was able
to see conditions in Europe at a higher
state of progressive development than
they will again be for many years to
ome, and to make a comparison of
them with the conditions in the United
States as they are.
"I will say frankly that I believe
In the past 20 years the United States
has outstripped the countries of the
continent in every way scientifically,
commercially and Intellectually. While
Europe has been making a steady
prowth, the United States has been ad
vancing by great leaps. In surgery
today I believe that the United States
Is in advance of the Old World.
"The rumblings of the disturbance
that preceded the great war were to
be heard when I was in Vienna some
months ago. Merchants, professional
men and all well informed on the con
ditions were at that time looking with
apprehension toward Servia and ex
pecting something of a tremendous
revolutionary character in that country.
"What the disturbance might be no
one. of course, predicted, but there was
a general misgiving and feeling that
out of Servia was soon to come some
thing that was lllled with menace to
the nations of Central Europe.
"The war now In progress is doubly
terribl9 to me when I contemplate it
because I know well the character of
the people who are invqlved and who
will suffer from it. I have acquaint
ances in France. Germany, Belgium.
Austria and other countries in Europe.
I know these to be countries whose
people are cultured and of delightful
personality and character, and It seems
to me most lamentable that a condition
should arise which means such a set
back to their culture, their progress
and their peace and happiness.
"The United States, of course, will
profit much by the war. greatly as we
regret the conditions which will bring
this profit to us. One benefit which I
believe that we will derive, which few
consider, will be the deversion of our
own touring travel through our own
country. Europe will be no tourist
country for some time to come now,
and the United States is full of people
who have never seen their own coun
try, but have heretofore gone to Europe
each Summer.
"And in all of my travels through
Europe this time I must say I did not
find any place that I can conceive of
as more beautiful than the United
States, and of all the United States,
the Northwest and Portland."
RAILWAY GRANT AWARDED
Milwaukie Gives Common - User
Franchise to Jj. H. Campbell.

waukie Council Tuesday night, the or
dinance granting x.. xa. uuvw "
year franchise for a stret railway on
many of the streets of Milwaukle was
passed. The ordinance provides for
the common-user rights over all lines
that may be built In Milwaukie. and
requires the street car company to sell
25 tickets for $1 to adults and 20 tick-
- -V.1 nhllHrpn for 50 Cents.
e LS lu sviivu, .
The company is required to pay the

the franchise. While the franchise
covers streets wanted by the Portland
& Oregon City Hallway, the Portland &
r"l, Una rrtnv hllild Oil the
same streets or apply the common-user
provision.
Milwaukle officials are said to have
been informed that the Campbell fran
chise is not altogether for local pur
poses, but that construction of an ln
terurban electric line east- ard tror"
Milwaukie through the Mt Hood
country, in Eastern Oregon, is con
templated. Mr. Campbell, it is under
stood, surveyed a line from Milwaukle
as far as Eastern Oregon, and has ob
tained an excellent grade.
Councilman Leodlng says the rights
of the city are well safeguarded n
the franchise granted to Mr. Campbell.
WATER PLANT AUTHORIZED
Milwaukie Official Says Charter Per
mits Municipal System.
That Milwaukle has ample authority
under its charter to construct an in
dependent municipal water plant, with
Bull Run water or water from any
other source, was declared yesterday
by Councilman Leoding in answering
J. L. Johnson's threat to seek an in
junction if the city begins work.
"It is our intention to construct an
Independent municipal water plant and
we have ample authority under our
charter," said Councilman Herman. "We
are required to tafce over private plants
if an agreement can be made with
their owners, and if not we can go
ahead and build anyway. We under
took to acquire the Fisch and Johnson
plants under this provision, but failed.
Mr. Flsch refused to sell under the
agreement and 100 citizens objected to
the price awarded for the Johnson
plant- The water bonds have been de
clared valid, but have not been de
livered as yet. I suppose action will
be taken soon. We want Bull Run
water."

COUNTY WINS SUII
OVER ROAD PAVING
Judge McGinn Halts Argument
to Give Decision on Base
Line Project.
SIMILAR WORK NOW SAFE
Conrt, in Casting Out Case, Extols
Commissioners, Mr. Yeon, Mr.
Benson, Mr. Day, Intimating
Jealous Firms to Blame.
Immediate construction of the hard
surface pavement proposed for the
Base Line road is authorized in a court
decision by Circuit Judge McGinn yes
terday. The decision is particularly
Important as it in effect permits the
County Commissioners to go ahead
with their road improvement pro
gramme, not only for the Base Line
road, but for other highways as well.
The efforts of Roadmaster Yeon. Amos
Benson and L N. Day and other good
road enthusiasts were highly com
mended by Judge McGinn.
A few minutes after Jay Bowerman,
attorney for John Hinterman, a prop
erty owner along the Base Line road,
who brought suit to enjoin the County
Commissioners and Roadmaster Yeon
from paving the road, had commenced
argument, Judge McGinn interrupted.
"There is no use in you gentlemen
wasting time in argument, "he de
clared, "for the court has already made
up his mind in this matter. In this case,
in the proposed improvement of the
Base Line road, there are three men
who have had much to do with it. These
are J. B, Yeon, Amos,Benson and I. N.
Day.
Paving; Companies Mentioned.
"Mr. Yeon and Mr. Benson have given
their time and their money to do the
best in their Judgment for this county
and city and that they may be mistaken
in this case, is a question, but that
they are consclencious. is beyond a
shadow of a doubt. They have done a
lot of good for this city and.county
nd I believe that most of thia 'litiga
tion started because other paving com
panies felt they were not getting a fair
deal from the County Commissioners
ind from Mr. Yeon.
T am asked to get in here to re.
lieve. but the only way I can do any
thing is for 51 per cent of the property
owners affected to remonstrate. I
wouldn't determine this case as a ques
tion of law, but as a question of facts.
Jealous contractors have done all in
their power to undo the work of the
"bounty Commissioners and Mr. Yeon.
Road Promoters Praised.
"I would not be Justified in issuing
a writ of injunction in this case where
such an extraordinary method of get
ting remonstrances had been used.
Both Mr. Benson and Mr. Yeon have
done wonderful work and I do not feel
as if I could question their methods
or intentions, and I will not do them an
injustice for the sake of dissatisfied
contractors.
"Therefore, this application for a
writ of injunction to restrain the
County Commissioners and Mr. Yeon
from paving this road is denied.
"Your Honor, I shall appeal this de
cision to the Supreme Court," an
nounced Attorney Bowerman, "and I
would like to have the temporary in
junction Issued by Judge Gatens con
tinued until the appeal is decided.
Facta, Not Law, Acted On.
"This is not a case for the Supreme
Court," answered Judge McGinn. "As I
have previously told you, it la a ques
tion of facts and not a question of law.
If you wish to appeal to the Supreme
Court, all right, but I refuse to issue
a writ of injunction, even temporarily,
because if this paving is to be done it
must be before the Winter sets in."
Mr. Bowerman then announced that
the appeal would be taken immediately
despite the court's refusal of a tem
porary injunction.
"I have a petition of remonstrators
containing the names of nearly 60 per
cent of the property-owners affected
by the improvement," said Mr. Bower
man, "and I think it is sufficient to
prevent this assessment."
"The plaintiff has 48.4 per cent of the
property-owners on his petition of re
monstrance, "declared Jeputy District
Attorney Murphy, who represented Mr.
Yeon and the County Commission.
Judge Assails Fraud Charge.
In the complaint filed in the injunc
tion suit, and also on the petition of
remonstrance, fraudulent methods are
alleged in the letting of he contract
for the paving of the road. Comment
ing on this charge. Judge McGinn said:
"There is absolutely no evidence or
fraud in this case or in any proceed
ings of the County Commission or of
the roadmaster. Mr. Yeori and the
Commission selected warrenlte as the
pavement because they verily believe
It to be the best for the money.
Judge McGinn Indicated at various
times in the trial that be believed the
suit was the work of dissatisfied pav.
Ing contractors, who were jealous of
Warren Bros., the contractors, over the
paving of hiase iine roaa. v
Road Plans Now Safe.
A special road tax of 2 mills was
made this year to pay for hard surface
highways and had Judge McGinn de
cided otherwise in the suit yesterday
all hard surfacing projects would be im
mediately abandoned because of the
probability that they also would be
blocked by similar litigation.
At present the county Commission
and Mr. Yeon plan to hard surface
Riverside drive as well as the Base Line
road. It Is probable that these roads
will be the only two highways of any
length paved this year. The Base Line
improvement is nearly 10 miles long
and the improvement will cost between
$12,000 and $13,000 a mile. For this
amount, the county will get a 16-foot
warrenlte roadway wltn shoulders on
each side of the paving. This paving is
guaranteed for 10 years.
Yeon Against Macadam.
Mr Yeon declared on the witness
stand that it was wasting money for
tho county to continue building hard
bound macadam roads.
"It is like putting sand in a rat
hole," he said. "The more you put down
the worEe the road is."
Mr. Yeon said It cost the county
about $1500 a mile annually to main
tain macadam roads, for 10-year peri
ods this would total $15,000 a mile. The
paved road costs between $12,000 ajid
$15,000 a mile to build and is main
tained 10 years without cost to the
county.
