COURT CENSURE IS SEVERE fcocialiM. Lawyer Defending Men Accused or Setting Fire to Ment-. fee Mill Admits Sending McDaniels Out of State. Taking of testimony in the arson trial of Tom Patterson and Hugh Priest was brought to a dramatiq conclusion yesterday, when Circuit Judge Iavls severely censured Glenn Moover. the Seattle Socialist lawyer, "who is de fending the two men. Hoover had just taken the witness stand and admitted that he paid Charles McDaniels money to get out of the state, believing that McDaniels was the man who had set fire to the I B. Menefee Lumber Com pany's shingle mill on the night of i'"ebruary IS. "AVhat was your' motive In getting McDaniels out of the state?" asked Judge Davis, interrupting Hoover's atory from the witness stand. 'Well, your honor," replied Hoover, "to explain my motives I will have to detail some conversations which would not be admissible as evidence in the case." "You .can tell me in three words. Was it your intention to get this man out of the jurisdiction of this court?" "No, it was not," replied Hoover. He hesitated before continuing. I had two motives. One was to keep Patter son and Priest from breaking their promise of secrecy with McDaniels. The other was to keep an honest work man with a family from going to the penitentiary." . Court Berates Attorney. "Mr. Hoover," said Judge Davis. must say that your motives were not proper for any officer of the court- It is very reprehensible. If you were member of the bar of this state I would suspend you from further practice. Hut you are here from another state by courtesy and, well, you may stay for this cafe." District Attorney Evans then inter rupted. "This man has said that he knew the man whom he helped to escape was guilty of the crime of arson. To help a Kuflty man to escape is com pounding a felony. There is a law specificallv covering this." "That matter will be referred to the District Attorney." said Judge Davis. "He is charged with enforcing the laws." Mr. Evans then asked that the jury be excused while the charges against Hoover were threshed out in court- "This line of testimony," he said. "could easily be prejudicial to the de fendants. I don't want the jury to think that because Mr. Hoover has done something wrong that these two young men are necessarily guilty. They are not responsible for the acts of their attorney. Allegred Confession Related. These developments in the arson trial came as a climax to a number of near sensations during the day. In the morn ing HUKh Priest was called to the wit ness stand and testified that Charles Mcli'n!els. the missing witness, had set the lire. Priest said he met McDan iels on the evening of February 16 just after the mill closed. McDaniels said. "I pulled the trick." "i asked him what he meant." said Priest, "and he said he had set the mill on fire. I asked him how he did it and he pulled a bottle out of his pocket. I put a stick in the bottle and pulled it out and it burst into flame. Home or it (tot on my hand and that is how my hand was burned. I told the detectives I had been burned with acid and with gasoline, so as not to get McDaniels Into trouble." Patterson was called to the witness stand and corroborated Priest's story in almost every detail. Labor unions were openly broujrht into the trial for the first time during the testimony of Patterson. Valoa Order Denied. "Is it not a fact. Mr. Patterson," asked Deputy District Attorney Collier, "that W. H. Reed, secretary of the Fhincleweavers' Union in Seattle, told you that he was tired of settling; strikes by beatinp up scabs? Didn't he send you and McDaniels and Priest down here to put the University mill out of business?" "No, he did not." answered Patter son. Patterson admitted, however, that P.eed had given him and McDaniels $6 each to pay their railroad fare from Seattle to Portland. .T. G. Brown, president of the Shinsrle weavers nnion. was called to the wit ness stand and testified as to the good character of Patterson and Priest. He further clouded the mystery surround inc the whereabouts of Charles Mc Daniels by exhibiting a letter from Mc Daniels dated "Junjrletown. 'ff'ash., March 3." The letter was a request that Brown take care of McDaniels' wife and family until he could appear again. On cross-examination Mr. Collier brought out the fact that Brown had been convicted of a felony 21 years airo and had served a sentence in the peni tentiary at Wallii Walla. When he asked Brown why he had come to Vortland for the trial. Brown said he had .-oine to get "general information" fr the union. Kraplsyers' Association Klxarr. The name of the Employers' Associa tion was brought Into the trial also for the first time yesterday. During Brown's cross-examination A. W. Laf ferty. ex-Representative in Congress, who is helping Hoover defend the two men. interrupted. "If the state will inform us who Is riving: them all this Information about the movements of men ut Port Angeles, Wash., we wilt not object to its in troduction." said Mr. Ijafferty. "All riftht." retorted Mr. Collier. "We'll give you a moving picture of it." "It looks very much like the hand of fha Employers' Association," said Mr. Lafferty. Mr. Hoover then said that evidence brought out by the state made it neces sary f-"r him to take the witness stand himself. After being sworn he told hla story of inducing Harry Harris and Charles McDaniels to leave the state until the arson trial was over. He ad mitted paying both men money for their expenses. In most details his story corroborated that told by Harris Thursday. new Paramount photo-play, which opened at the Teoples Theater Thurs day to run till tonight. Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley star in the play, which, incidentally, gives many evidences of Miss Weber's di recting abilities. For the purpose of the oil-field fire, many acres of oil land had to be pur chased and deliberately fired. It is impossible that the fire could have been "faked." This big fire supplies the play with that most unquestioned "punch" producers seem to find so necessary in the film business. "Gushers" In action add-interest also to "Sunshine Molly," which is a charm ing photo-drama. - Edith Wynne Mathison and James Keill star In "The Governor's Lady," the People's Paramount picture for Sunday. GOVERNOR IS SPEAKER OREGON LirDED IN ADDRESS TO REALTT BOAItll MEMBKRS. Regret Expressed at Lack of Legisla tion to Enable State to Develop ., Vast Water Power. "The 1915 Oregon Legislature was one of the best in history so far as economy was concerned, but I regret that it did not legislate so as to per mit communities to develop the vast water power that is now going to waste," said Governor James Withy comb in an after-luncheon address be fore the Portland Realty Board at the Commercial Club yesterday.

Read what one of them says of it: "There could ba no better medicine than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. My chil dren were all sick with whooping cough. One of them was in bed, had a high fever and was coughing up blood. Our doctor gave them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the first dose eased them, and three bottles cured them,' says Mrs. R. A. Donaldson, of Lexing ton, Miss. This remedy is a success. You will find nothing better for whoop ing cough. It contains rro opium or other narcotic. It only costs a quarter. Constipation and Indigestion "I have used Chamberlain's Tablets and must say they are the best I have ever used for constipation and indigestion. My wife also used them for in digestion and they did her good," writes Eugene S. Knight, WUmingtoxit N. C day by Frank Stiller.
