Trial ot Case of Miss Myrtle
Davis Against O.-W. R. &
v. N. for $165,000 Opens.
FALL AT UNION IS BASIS
In Attempt to Impeach Pittsburg
Physician, Testifying for Plain
tiff, Defense Forces Admis
sions of ludue Intimacy.
Dr. M. J. Buck, a Pittsburg physi
cian, admitted on the witness stand in
Circuit Juilgro Morrow's court yesterday
that he accompanied Miss Myrtle Xavis,
a nurse, to Portland to give expert
testimony in her suit for $165,000
against the Oregon-Washington Rail
road & Navigation Company. The
railroad has summoned brakemen con
ductors, porters, detectives and xs
isengers from many different states to
prove that Dr. Buck traveled as the
husband of Miss Davis, whom he swore
yesterday was injured for life as a
result of falling- on the station plat
form at Union, Or., in 1911.
Miss Davis formerly was employed
by Dr. Buck in his Pittsburg sanitari
um. When she was Injured four years
ago she went to him for treatment.
Dr. Buck made a. deposition to be
submitted in the suit, but when the
trial was called ha appeared In person
to testify.
Under cross-examination by ' Attor
ney Cochran for the railroad company.
Dr. Buck admitted yesterday morning:
that ho had traveled with Miss Davis
on the trip from Pittsburg: to Port
land. He also admitted that he had
occupied the earns room with her in a
hotel at Baker, Or. He added, how
ever, that he sat up all night and did
not go to bed.
Documentary Evidence Held.
The railroad company has not pre
sented its case. Yesterday's cross
examination was chiefly for the pur
pose of impeaching: Dr. Buck's testi
mony, and much of the railroad com
pany's evidence will be for the same
purpose. Besides the witnesses who
were on the trains on which, Dr. Buck
and Mies Davis came to Portland, much
documentary evidence is in the posses
sion of the railroad attorneys. Sleep-ins-car
tickets will be produced to
show that the couple occupied the same
oertn. tiio nolel register from Baker
will bo produced to show that they reg
istered, there as man and wife.
Miss Davis charges that her injuries
re due to the fact that the railroad
company did not have lights around
its station at Union. She says she
went to the station at midnight, Sep
tember 17. 1911, to meet a train, and
in the darkness fell down a. platform
incline.
Plaintiff Appears Calm.
During Dr. Buck's testimony. Miss
Davis sat beside her attorneys in the
courtroom yesterday. She was slightly
pale and. once or twice burlod her face
in her handkerchief. Otherwise she
rave no sign that the trend of the
examination had affected her.
Interest in the case was tense, fol
lowing Dr. Buck's admission on the
ta.nd yesterday morning. When court
adjourned for a recess in the middle
of tho afternoon. Judge Morrow warned
the audience against speaking to any
of the jurors about the case. His
words were an echo of Judge McGinn's
warning to jurors two days ago, when
he rebuked: "professional lobbyists" for
alleged attempts to "worm their way
into the confidences of the jurors."-
'I must warn everybody especially
against speaking to any member of
the jury about this case while court
is adjourned. If I find anyone is doing
this, I will make an example of him,"
said Judge Morrow.

QUEEN PLANS PROPOSED
NOBLE MOTHERHOOD OR CHRIS
TIAN CHARACTER SUGGESTIONS.
Two Writers Discussing Choice of High
Priestess for Rose Festival Offer
Something: Novel.
Among the suggestions as to the
method of selecting a Queen for the
Rose Festival sent to The Oregonian
were two received yesterday which were
rather unusual.
"Why not, instead of choosing youth
and beauty as in previous years," says
one writer, make a change and pay
tribute to the crown of motherhood?
Are queens always young and beautiful?
"I think history will prove that the
real Queens of nobility were mothers.
"We have here in Portland mothers
who have raised families and in the
meantime took an interest in the wel
fare of our city and state. Standing
out prominently as an example, I might
mention Abigail Scott Duniway, but you
who are older residents might be able
to suggest names of several of equal
wonmnesa ana prominence.
"With such a Queen attended by a
bevy of our girls, what could make a
mora beautiful and striking picture a
tribute to our rose and our Queen
mother?"
The other writer says:
"Aek tho ministers, their wives and
officials of the churches to assist in the
choice of a worthy one, having herself
exercised in a good character and
worthy deeds to the benefit of others,
and . being. In addition to the Fame,
adorned with natural beauty to suit the
occasion."
In the selection of her attendants nH
their costuming, the writer suggests
mat tne gins ne grouped about the
Queen as green leaves about a rose.
JOB CREATION QUESTIONED
Koartl Aould Put Defender and
Censor Clerk Under Civil Service.
Whether or not the City Council has
power to create a city position that is
not under clvjl service jurisdiction is
a question- to be investigated by the
Municipal Civil Service Board. City
Attorney LaRoche has ruled that the
Council has such power.
Involved in the case are the oosi
tions of public defender and secretary
to the Board of Motion Picture Censors,
both of which positions were created
recently by the Council. The Civil
Service Board contends that these po
sitions should be filled by civil service
appointees.
Woman Accuses Husband.
Charged with following his wife to
the laundry where she was employed
and frightening her until she ran
screaming from tho place, Emigio
Crispo was arrested yesterday. Mrs.
Crispo charged him with threatening
to kill her.
Five years ago Crispo was arrested
on a statutory charge and sentenced to
three months in jail. When he had
served his time he married his present
wife, who was then 14 years old. Crispo
is an expressman. 7
That the principalbenefits to be de
rived from the Rose Festival are pub
licity abroad and beautification at
home was the assertion of Emery Olm
stead, president of the Rose Festival
Association, in an address before the
Portland Realty Board yesterday.
"Our publicity man figures that we
have brought the Rose Festival to the
attention of approximately 25.000,000
persons this year," said Mr. Olmstead.
"Articles advertising the festival have
been published in more than 3000 news
papers east of the Mississippi River.
Some of these have been half -page sto
ries. "In addition, 500.000 poster stamps
have been distributed by our merchants
and 11,000 posters have been placed in
railroad stations. Further publicity has
been received in moving-picture houses
and in the magazines.
All Costs Less Than Last Tear.
"All of this work has been accom
plished for less than the sum spent
last year.
"The city beautiful committee, by
working out its district plan with the
aid and help of the school children of
tho city, has encouraged the planting
of 65,000 rose bushes that will bear this
year, and the posting of prizes, also.
for general residential appearances will
serve to beautify yards materially."
Mr. Olmstead made a strong plea for
the improvement of the Willamette
Valley and umed the realtv men to
co-operate with the State Bankers' As
sociation toward that end.
"You can't build up the city without
building up the rural communities back
of it any more than you can ljft your
selves by your own boot-straps," he
said.
Committee Is Authorised.
President Taylor was authorized to
appoint a committee to work toward
the end outlined by Mr. Olmstead. Mr.
Olmstead also explained how the pro
visions of the Federal reserve bank
act will help to bolster real estate
conditions throughout the country.
J. W. Kaste urged that the Realty
Board request the County Commission
ers to pave at least one mile of the
proposed 70 miles to be built under the
terms of the bond issue with wooden
blocks to ascertain whether or not
local material is feasible for such
construction. The matter was referred
to committee for investigation. John
E. Cronan was chairman of the day.
SHOW PROVISION IS ASKED
Manufacturers Trge Level Floor
Construction for Auditorium.
A delegation headed by David Dunne,
of the Manufacturers' Association, ap
peared before the City Council yester
day to urge the construction of a level
floor in the proposed public auditorium
building so that the building can be
used -for manufacturers' shows and
other exhibitions.
The City Council informed the dele
gation that the proposition would be
borne in mind when the time comes for
considering the details of construction.
