USE OF PHOSPHORUS SHOWN Xiglilvmtekiuan and Kmplovcs Tes tify That Several Blazes Broke -Out at Once lelectivcs Frob ablv to Go on Stand Today.. A trial resting chiefly on the sense of smell Is that of Hugh Priest and Tom Pattlson, charged with arson, In Circuit Judge Davis court. On the odors about the mill of the L. B. Menefee Lumber Company on tho night of February 1 the prosecution is basing Its case against the two shingleweavers. Every witness on the stand thus far has been asked to smell something. A pair of gloves, a'bottle, a cork, a pack, age of eawdust and a stick of wood all have been smelled many times, and are scheduled for further use. The prosecution is charging that phosphorus was used to set Are to the lumber mill. To start fire with phos phorus It Is usually dissolved in carbon disulphide. Carbon dieulphide is harmless-looking liquid which is fre quently used by militants in breaking up meetings. A few drops has been known to cause a general movement toward the doors. Employes Give Testimony. Testimony yesterday was chiefly by nightwatchmen and employes of the ...i nrsn. vhrii the fire broke out in several different parts of the mill.

Phosphorus must be kept in water. If exposed to air it will oxidize and burn. The substance does not dissolve in water. Placed in some kind of oil. gasoline, alcohol, or, most especially, carbon disulphide, it dissolves readily. A few drops of the solution poured on a piece of paper looks harmless for a time. Soon, however, the liquid evap orates, and as it does so the phosphorus begins to glow. The slight sediment of phosphorus left on the paper Is dried exposed to air and soon bursts into flame.

W est '-Investigated" Place Already Ranaacked by Detectives. HOW a newly appointed police ser geant made a thorough Investi gation of tho rendezvous of three al hori mon and where a trunkful of precious jewels was supposed to be . .. . , T I V. .. buried two days aiier me im-minu been ransacked by city detectives Is the story being told in police circles on Sergeant F. M. West. On March 3 Patrolman J. J. Murphy reported that one Frank Edick, of 672 Junior street, Woodlawn. had told him that three desperate characters were camped near the junction of Wabash street and Willamette boulevard, and that he had heard of a trunk filled with jewelry that had been buried in an apparently deserted shack that the trio had been occupying. The men were reputed to be dangerous, two of them being "two gun" men. The re port was firned over to the detectives for Investigation. Detectives Snow, Coleman, Goltz and Abbott proceeded to buckle on their armor, oil their artillery and advance cautiouslv to Wabash and Willamette boulevard. The dugout was deserted, but had apparently been, recently oc cupied. The police believed that the occujjMiits had merely been some men seeking a place where living was cheap, for the dugout was almost un- fit for human occupation. No sign of the buried, treasure could be found. Two davs later. Sergeant West, re cently appointed, learned from another source of tne desperate gang supposed to be frequenting that neighborhood, and with Patrolmen Schulpius and Griffith made an investigation of his own. He found piany footprints in the soft earth about the hut, for the detectives' broad shoes had left nu merous prints, but no trace of sup posed occupants, nor the treasure. When he left, possibly to present further Investigation of the same sus picious premises, he set fire to the hut and burned It to the ground.
