12 THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX. TUESDAY, MAY IS, 1913. TWO TESTIFY Ifl VOTE FRAUD TRIAL Challenges of Minor Details Give Promise of Big Legal Battle. STATE PRESENTS ITS CASE Circumstantial Kvidencc llelicd On to Trove Tliitt Ballot-Changing Was Done by Albin Clark as Chairman of Board. The trial of Albln L. Clark, charged with altering 126 ballots in Precinct 37 at the election on November 3, was begun before Circuit Judge Gatens yesterday. Before the case had pro ceeded far, it became evident that the trial would resolve Itself into a legal battle that probably will last for many days. At 3 o'clock yesterday the Jury was comvileted. At 6 o'clock, when court adjourned, two witnesses for the state had been examined, but their testi mony was only preliminary, and was given chiefly to make a complete court record. Clark is being defended by Wilson T. Hume and Sam Silverman. The prose cution is handled by John A. Collier and Joseph la. Hammersly, Deputy Dis trict Attorneys. In his opening statement to the Jury, Mr. Collier said that the state would relv largely on circumstantial evidence to prove that Clark, who was chairman of the day. election board, changed the ballots. The case was outlined briefly to the Jurors. Tno Other Are Involved. Clark was indicted with Daniel B. Culhane, a Judge on the day board, and James N. Linn, a watcher at the polls for the Democratic party. It was found that on approximately 126 bal lots votes for T. M. Hurlburt had been erased and votes for T. M. Word for Sheriff substituted. By process of elimination, it was de termined that this must have been done while the day board was in charge of the ballots. Previous testimony in Word's recount proceedings against Sheriff Hurlburt showed that Clark, Culhane and Linn were the only per sons who saw the ballots while they were being counted. As soon as the trial started yester day. Attorney Hume began making the mate's attorney prove everything. He objected to minor details that his op ponents thought would be admitted without question. As one man put it, He's going to make them prove that the sun set regularly on the night ofj November 3." Mr. Hume objected to the introduc tion of the ballots, poll books and tally " sheets. It was necessary to call Deputy County Clerk Bush to prove that these were "the books and ballots which had been used in Treclnct 37. Mr. Bush could not say that the ballots were in the boxes Just as he had last seen them. Threfore. it was necessary to call Circuit Judge Kavanaugh to testify about the ballots. Judge Kavanaugh had heard the Word-Hurlburt recount proceedings and had gone over the Pre cinct 37 situation thoroughly. He was the last to have charge of the ballots. Six Democrats Are on Jury. The testimony of Mr. Bush and Judge Kavanaugh was as far as the trial pro ceeded yesterday. ' ' The examination of Jurors was a rather long ordeal. Mr. Collier ques tioned each man closely on circumstan tial evidence. Every man examined had a fair working knowledge of the case from newspaper accounts. One man said he knew all about the case and had already made up his mind. He was excused. The Jury as finally selected Is com posed of six Democrats anr six Repub licans. The changes on the ballots were all in favor of Tom M. Word, a Democrat. During the recount hear ing testimony of a somewhat sensa tional nature showed that deputies of Jlr. Word, who was then Sheriff, were actively engaged in campaign work for the Democratic ticket. Some of this evidence may be brought out in the Clark trial. A fair crowd sat in the courtroom ell day yesterday listening to the trial. Most of the Judges and clerks from Precinct 37 were present. Daniel B. Culhane. who was indicted with Mr. Clark, attended. Linn, the Democratic watcher, was not present. The Jury which will hear the case Is composed "of: Warren Miller, carpenter. Democrat; J. S. Wolfer, laborer. Repub lican; James Forbes, florist. Repub lican: Hugo. C. Leitch, saloonkeeper. Republican; C. B. Stratton, retired salesman. Republican; E. M. Dalton, re tired. Democrat: S. S. Logan, grocer. Democrat: J. L. Stone, motorman. Dem ocrat; E. P. Bisbee. clerk. Republican; E. O. Burke, salesman. Democrat; John D. Kelly, hardware merchant. Demo crat: K. O. Hall, railway clerk, Repub lican.

FORGO IS ON VISIT HERE Editor of Travelers' Guides Is Seek ing Data on Oregon. Tr. William Forgo, editor of the travelers' guides issued by Town Topics of New York, is in Portland to prepare a pulde on Oregon and the Northwest. Dr. Forgo recently issued a similar guide-book on California. ".My first edition on California was not quite correct in some particulars," says Dr. Forgo, "but. subsequent issues have remedied these imperfections. "My book on Oregron I hope to have correct. We have a heavy demand for Oreeron literature in our New York office from prospecetive travelers to this part the country." Dr. Forgo maintains his permanent office in Paris, but the present war .has driven him away from Europe. He declares that as soon as the war is over he plans to return to Paris and re-establish his headquarters. "While in Portland Dr. Forgo will visit many points of interest, so that he may be able to write accurately. He also is collecting all the published KIG TREES IUVAL. THOSE OF CALIFORNIA GROVES. A n t 7 '.t - t It tarly Matured Hrunch Bearing Fruit. Figs that rival the choicest in California groves are being grown in the yard of J. W. Asp land at 388 Halleck street, Penin sula. They already have attained large size and are secure against possible frost. The figs will be ripe in August, and the second crop will bo ready for picking In September, asserts Mr. Asp land. There are other fig trees in Port land, but Mr. Aspland believes that his trees are the only ones that are bearing regularly. He attributes this to the fact that they are grown on the south side of ills house and are sheltered to some extent by a shed. When ripe the figs are large, yellow and sweet. Mr. Aspland has two trees, each standing about 12 feet high, with trunks about eight Inches in cir cumference. They are 7 years old and came from Koseburg as slips. More than two bushels of figs were secured from these trees last year and more are expected this season. data on the subject from the railroads and the Chamber of Commerce.

ONLY INTERNED SHIPS IDLE Marston Is Kixcd for Second Voyage at 70 Shillings to Sydney or 80 Shillings to Melbourne. Tuft Is Rechartcred. Indicating the increase in the Inter coast trade, several more of the vessels laid up on the Columbia River and the steamer J. B. Stetson will be placed in service at once. It is understood that the Hicks-Hauptman interests will re turn two others of their fleet in opera tion, the steamers Temple E. Dorr and Nehalem. The three carriers have been laid up at St. Helens, the Stetson since January 7, the Nehalem since December 6 and the Temple E. Dorr since December 8. Not long ago the demand for compara tively small carriers irk the offshore lumber trade caused several sailing schooners held in the river to be char tered and with the exception of the three steamers there have been no idle vessels here lately other than German carriers interned for the war. From time to time coasters that nave made Oakland Creek their rendezvous for months are being called on, and among the number drawn from cover is the steam schooner Hardy, which dis charged San Francisco cargo at Couch street iock yesterday and loads back with lumber for San Francisco for the Charles R. McCormick Lumber Com pany. Her total capacity is 475,000 feet, or less than half what any of the McCormick steamers can handle, so it is apparent that the little vessels are coming into their own again through the larger carriers finding profitable voyages, mostly ti the offshore and in the Canal trade. J. J. Moore & Co., which firm char tered the Portland-owned schooner W. H. Marston early in the year to load here for Sydney, has fixed the vessel for a second voyage from the river at 70 shillings to Sydney or SO shillings to Melbourne. The schooner Mathew Tur ner obtains the same terms for her sec ond voyage from the Columbia or an other North Pacific port to Australia. The barkentlne James Tuft, taken a week ago by Coymn. Mackal & Co. to Joad lumber for South Africa at 105 snuiings. has been rechartered to Heat ley & Co. at 115 shillings. Hind. Rolph & Co., which took the barkentlne Amazon for lumber to Syd ney at 67 shillings or Melbourne at 77s 6d, will load her for two and possibly three voyages under an arrangement that nets her 65 shillings to 75 shillings. J. W. Vance & Co. have taken the schooners Kona and Salem to load on the North Pacific Coast for Australia, the Kona to be paid 70 shillings to Syd. ney and 80 shillings to Melbourne and the Salem for Melbourne at 80 shillings. AID PLEDGED FISHERMEN CISTOMS COLLECTOR IX FAVOR OF "RILES" FOR LOWER COLUMBIA. Co-operation la Urged In Taking Ip Position of Gillnetters With Con gress Regarding Navigation. Replying to a communication pub lished yesterday in The Oregonlan from H. M. Lornsten, secretary of the Columbia River fishermen's Protec tive Union, dealing with the position of gillnet fishermen on the river, Mr. Lornsten's views as to why the steam ers Santa Cecilia and American grounded inside the bar recently and other details. Collector of Customs Burke yesterday made the following statement: "In regard to fishermen and their interference with the free passage of commercial vessels on the Lower Co lumbia, 1 have nothing to add to what I said in my letter of .May 13 to their secretary, Mr. Lornsten. I gave that letter to the press for the reason that I wanted the fishermen individually and all the people of Astoria to know that this office is kindly disposed toward them and would appreciate their co-operat! an in the observance of the laws pertaining to the navigation of inland waters. Their co-operation would make it easier and more agree able all around, inasmuch as the law must be observed. "Mr. Lornsten proposes, in a long letter just published, a series of 'rules' for fishing in the region of Astoria which 1 am willing to believe Is not without merit and I therefore suggest that he take the matter up with our Senators and see if he can impress Congress with the wisdom of changing the law to conform to his ideas. I will be pleased to unite with him in any effort to benefit the fishermen or the fishing Industry that is not inconsist ent with an open channel on the Co lumbia. In the meantime, the Federal regulations governing this matter are plain and should be clearly understood by all parties concerned from what I already have said on the subject." BKAVEIl IS E.IULY AHI5IVAI. Porllander Dies at Sea En Route From California Visit. Cornelius D. Elder, of this city, for merly in business here, but who went to California recently, died aboard the steamer Beaver, of the "Big Three" fleet, Sunday afternoon at sea. The ship reached here at 10:45 o'clock yes terday morning. Mrs. Klder was with her husband and relatives met the liner here, so the body was prepared for burial. Asthma was given as the cause of death. The Beaver made the earliest arrival ot any of the fleet for a year and a half and was favored on the way by weather conditions.

Changes in certain rates between Portland and California ports are' looked for because of the presence in the city of Cal E. Stone, general traffic manager of the Great Northern Pacific Steamship Company, operating the tur biners Great Northern and Northern Pacific, and G.. L. Blair, general man ager of the San Francisco & Portland Steamship Company, with the steam ers Beaver, Bear and Rose City. Rate cutting is said to have been counte nanced recently by some CoaBt lines in bidding for large parties bound south, but it is not believed that spirited re ductions will follow. In connection with the business of the Great Northern Steamship line the Pacific Forwarding Company was in corporated yesterday and it was given out that its functions would be to handle all freight and baggage at Flavel and at Pier 25.

MOTOR SHIPS BEING BUILT Service to Start at Once With One St en mer Making Ca 1 1 livery 6 0 Days Large New Market for Lumber Is Predicted. The Olsen steamship interests of Christian ia. Norway, yesterday defi nitely announced the intention of mak ing Portland a port of call for a new steamship line direct from Europe to the Pacif ic Coast, which has already begrun operations and will give in creased service immediately. Captains Fritz S. Olsen and J. H. Hol stad, representing the Olsen interests, made this announcement at a luncheon at' the Chamber of Commerce yester day. They have been in Portland since Saturday and will remain here until this afternoon, looking over the ground and making preparations for the open ing of the service here. They came to San Francisco on the steamer Bravo, which is the first of the line to come to the Coast. At first the service will consist of about one steamer every two months. but new vessels are now building and early next year they plan to put six new ones on the service with a sched ule of more frequent sailings. Ships now building for the Pacific Coast service are three motor steam ships of 10,000 tons dead weight ca pacity and three motor ships with 6000 tons capacity. Arrangements have been made fix ing Portland and 'California points as ports of call. The representatives of the company will go to the Puget Sound cities this afternoon and will in vestigate prospects there with a view to extending their service that far. The ports to be included in the serv ice, aside from those on the Pacific Coast, will be one or two in the Scan dinavian peninsula, one or two in Great Britain and after the war- one or two1 continental ports will be added. From there the ships will sail direct to the Pacific Coast, via the Panama Canal. Captain Olsen said he believed the new service would open up a large new market for Northwest lumber when it Is well established. F A. Spencer presided at the lunch eon given the visitors at the Chamber yesterday and about 17 representative merchants and shippers were present. MILITIA WANTS XKW SHIP Department Asked for Vessel Suit able for Krequent Trips. Hone of having a torpedo-boat di vision pass some time in the Columbia River this season, and or ultimately se curing the assignment of one of the speedy fighters here permanently for the Oregon Naval Militia, is cherished by Adjutant-General White and otiicers of the organization. It is understood that the matter already has oeen pre sented at Washington. Putret Sound and tirays haroor militiamen are using torpedo-boats ad vantageously, and at least once a month a week-end cruise is made, with ucn a vessel stationed here the plan would be to get the citizen-sailors aboard Sat urday afternoon and pass the time until Sunday night or Monday morning on the lower river, sometimes making the ocean for practice. Speed, lightdraft and size are making that type of ships sought for by the militia bodies of the United States so they can gain by more frequent drills under way than is pos sible with larger ships, such as the Bos ton, now here. GRACE KIaKET IS EXPANDING Three New Carriers to Be Operated in Another Your. Following a contract awarded in March to the Cramp Shipbuilding Com pany, of Philadelphia. Pa.. W. Ii. Grace & Co. have awarded the building of two additional carriers to that firm, so there will be seven of the "Santa" fleet operating"through the Canal in another year. The contracts are said to have been placed 10 days ago. The vessels are to cost approximately $680. 0U0 each and have a net regis tered tonnage of 4026. being more than 408 feet in length. The company has the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Santa Catalina and Santa Cecilia now oper ating and freight is being refused ut both ends of the line. The new ves sels will .be modern In every respect and are designed for general cargo and lumber, it being expected that the com pany will handle considerable of the latter product througrh the Canal fol lowing the war.
