MRS. RYMAN'S DYING
WISH IS
Mother Wanted Son to Get
$25,000, but Cut Him Off Be
cause cf Wife, Is View.
STARS ERR ON DEATHS
Physician in Will Contest Saya Elder
Woman Would Not Have Been Re
sponsible Had She Slain, eo
Great Was Her Hatred.
"A week before she died she told me
Fhe wanted Dayton to have everything,"
was the testimony of the first witness
for the contestants who went on the
rtand yesterday in the Sarah A. Ryman
will contest before County Judge Clee
ton. But the will left by Mrs. Ryman pro
vided that her son should have only an
Insignificant life interest in the 25,000
estate, unless his wife had died, or he
was divorced. ..Mrs. Ry man's hatred
cf her daughter-in-law was intense and
ehe did not want the younger woman
to enjoy a penny of the estate and
made provision in the will so that she
thould not.
Yet Mrs. Ryman firmly believed that
her daughter-in-law would die before
he herself Tossed away, continued this
first witness, who was Mrs. D. T.
Watklns. of 337 East Fifty-fourth
ntjeet North. This belief, she explained,
was based on numerous horoscopes for
which Mrs. Ryman had spent nyich
money and which foretold, by the
revelations of the stars, the precedence
of death in the Ryman family, sup
posedly. Order of Deatha Foretold.
"Nell was to die first." said the
witness. "Nell" Is the daughter-in-law.
"Mrs. Ryman was to go next, she told
me and Dayton last."
The signs of the heavens proved un
reliable, but Mrs. Ryman had provided
gainst this contingency by her strange
will, by which her daughter-in-law
might not profit.
Evidence considered by Attorneys
Dan J. Malarkey and A. M. Dibble, who
represent the contestant, to be favor
able to their contentions, was given
in the morning by Dr. A. "W. Moore, a
witness called by tha defense.
Dr. Moore was the family physician
and knew Mrs. Ryman well.
He told of the bitter hatred Mrs.
Ryman had for her son's wife, founded
apparently on jealousy, for only trivial
instances were given by Mrs. Ryman,
when he asked for reasons for this
abnormal dislike.
"I found no rational basts for her
hatred of her daughter-in-law," said
the physician.
Woman Considered Irresponsible.
Dr. Moore testified, on cross-exami-ration,
that such was Mrs. Ryman's
attitude of mind toward her daughter-in-law
that had she killed her son's
wife, he would have volunteered to
testify before any jury that she was
riot responsible, mentally, for that act.
In answer to a query from Attorney
A. F. Flegel. Dr. Moore said that where
young Mrs. Ryman was concerned, the
mother-in-law could not distinguish
right from wrong. It Is that power of
distinguishing right from wrong which
forms a legal proof of sanity.
Rev. A. L. Hutchison and numerous
other witnesses were called by the de
fense yesterday to testify that Mrs.
Ryman had appeared rational to them
on occasions they had seen and talked
with her.

TORPEDOES CLAIM 7
Andersen Company Loses Car
. riers In Mediterranean.
OTHERS TO BE BUILT HERE
Albina Plant Is Making Progress
on Xew Plant for Construction
of Six Craft ,3ontracted For.
Boilers Ordered Here.
Seven steamers lost, news of the
sinking of the last being received yes
terday, is the toll exacted from A. O.
Andersen & Co. through the European
war. Three of the carriers have been
torpedoed during the past month.-
They have been in the trade between
Mediterranean ports and France,' and
while not big carriers, some of them
being of 2000 tons and others 3000 tons,
their destruction means a serious loss,
inasmuch as they cannot be replaced
rapidly. It is said there is no question
about Insurance adjustments, so the
owners will be reimbursed the actual
value, but meanwhile are without the
use of that much tonnage.
To an extent they will be replaced in
time by the six vessels under contract
with the Albina Engine & Machine
Works, in which the Andersens are
interested. Headway is being gained
there In placing early orders for equip
ment and parts, as well as in laying
out the plant and erecting buildings,
for besides all steel having been or
dered the company has contracted with
the Willamette Iron & Steel Works for
12 boilers, two of which will be in
stalled in each vessel. The cost is
placed at $250,000. They will be Scotch
marine boilers, the same as are being
turned out for the 8800-ton tramps to
be built In South Portland yards, though
smaller, and the specifications call for
a working steam pressure of 180
pounds.
Delivery of steel from the East Is
looked for in January, and the first
keel will be laid immediately on the
material being gotten ready, probably
by February 1. Four ways will be
used, and when Summer opens the fifth
ship will be started, by which time
there is reason to believe more car
riers will be provided for.
At the site of the Columbia River
Shipbuilding Corporation's plant, be
tween the yards of the Northwest Steel
Company and the Heath Shipbuilding
Company, the fill will be finished the
last pf the month. Men are preparing
for building the ways there and others
are leveling the fill, while the office
is up and preliminaries of the general
plant are being worked out.
MOTORSHIP SIERRA IS HERE
Vessel Built on Grays Harbor Is on
Miiiden Voyage to California.
First of what Is termed by mariners
a true motorshlp that Is dependent
solely on oil-burning engines for pro
pulsion, the Sierra, reached the harbor
Thursday from tirays Harbor to load
400,000 feet of lumber for San Pedro,
she having aboard 900,000 feet that was
worked on Grays Harbor, where she
recently was completed at the Mathews
yard.
The Sierra is of the steam schooner
class In appearance, even to having a
funnel, and Is a double-ender. Captain
Anderson, who had the Tamalpals from
the time she was commissioned -until
he shifted to the Sierra, as well as
Chief Engineer Hocran, also from the
Tamalpais. are on the Sierra. She was
11 hours on the way from Astoria.
which time is not beaten by some steam
schooners, and considering the fact her
engines are new, is rated a good show
ing. She took on some lumber at the
Portland mill and shifted to Inman-
Poulsen's Thursday afternoon and is
expected to sail today. The vessel
carries fuel for 40 days and on her
next voyage goes to the West Coast.
LAST DESERTER IS TAKEN
Three Survivors of Plot to Escape
Taken by Federal Officers.
That the United States Immigration (
Service never sleeps has been proved
to K. Makubata, former tar aboard the
Japanese tramp Kenkon Maru No. 8,
from which he deserted at Portland in
August, 1914. His arrest was reported
yesterday. He will be given free trais
portation back ao sunny Japan.
Four of the tramp's crew took French
leave, one being drowned while swim
ming from the ship to shore. The
second was captured the day after the
escape, and the third was retaken not
long ago in a lumber camp in Polk
County, Immigration Inspectors Bon
ham and Watkins participating, and
they also took in the fourth missing
one. he having been at work In a lum
ber camp in Eastern Multnomah County
when arrested.

SCOW DWELLERS TO VACATE
Mill-Street Space Is Wanted for Fuel
Yard Purpose.
Representatives of the Ukase Invest
ment Company, controlling the Smith
dock and other property adjacent
thereto, have requested Harbormaster
Speler to eject scowdwellers rom the
foot of Mill street, where it is proposed
to establish a fuel yard. The head of
the Harbor Patrol has referred the
matter to City Attorney La Koche. .
Only where owners have permitted
scowdwellers to moor ' their floating
homes on their holdings are such
domiciles permitted in the main har
bor. In a few cases men employed as
watchmen on waterfront property have
their houseboats close at hand, but such
habitats are not of the class usually
objected to.

GIRL IN HOTEL LEAPS
Clara Rauscher, Sublimity, Is
Found Near Death.
MAN SAYS "ACCIDENT"
'F. E." Kuretz" Registers at Salem

Girl Fell From Window as,
He Talked to Her.
SALEM, Or., Dec 8. (Special.)
My :tery surrounds the motive of Clara
Rauscher, a Sublimity grirl. who fell
from the second floor of the Bllgh Ho
tel on State street here at an early hour
this morning, and was picked up by
nassersby and officers in an uncon
scious condition. Her skull was frac
tured when she was found.
On Thursday a man. who registered
at the hotel as F. E. Kruetz. said he
uesired an adjoining room for his sis
ter, who would nrrive a little later. He

registered for both from Portland. They
ocoupied the adjoining rooms. Krusf's
said that along in the early morning
hours he went Into her room to con
verse with her. He said she was stand
ing by the window and accidentally feil
to the cement sidewalk below, a dis
tance of about 20 feet. Police Investi
gations lead the officers to the belief
that she could not have fallen from the
window, and it is the theory that she
Jumped.
Examination brought out the fact
that the man had been sending the girl
some medicine through the mail, and
onj theory has been deduced that th
giri may have attempted to take her
own life.
From the Inquiries mde by the po
'ice it developed that Kruetz is from
Buena Vista, a little town In Polk
County, and the girl from Sublimity.' in
Marion County. She is thought to be
23 years of age. She lingered in a
comatose condition at the Salem Hos
pital throughout the dav and her con-
'dition was considered grave.

sufficiently tonight to talk briefly to her
mother, who was at her bedside. Her
mother reported the daughter as say
ing that she accidentally fell on the
ground and that she had no intention
of committing suicide. The presence
of the man in the room is still un
explained. The attending physician holds out
some hopes for the girl's recovery, re
gardless cf the fact that f he sustained
a fractured skull.
Krueta still maintains silence at the
."ity Jail, where he is held pending developments.
