THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1917.
BARTHOLOMEW MAY
TAKE STAND TODAY
Man Accused of Murder of I
John Lind to Combat
Evidence of State.
PROSECUTION RESTS CASE
Chief Evidence Against Defendant
Is Statement Made to District
Attorney; This Is Read to
Jury Bat Clew Barred.
With the possible exception of minor
testimony which could be Introduced
today only In the event that Circuit
Judge Davis reversed his decision on
a question of evidence after hearing
arguments this morning, the state
closed its case against Edward Bar
tholomew, accused of the murder of
John Lind yesterday. The defense will
open today.
Chief evidence against Bartholomew
Is a statement of his participation in
events surrounding the murder, made
to District Attorney Evans after his
return to Portland from Seattle, where
he was arrested in November. This
was read to the jury yesterday.
If this record is not repudiated and
the defense puts on no testimony, it
would remain for the state to show. In
euonort of its contentions, that the as
'-
e
Eertions of the suspect are not con
slstent with facts surrounding the
crime, to which witnesses have testi
fied. Defendant Will Testify.
The defense could rest its case with
out calling a witness to the stand. If it
could show that the statements made
hy Bartholomew to the District Attor
ney were not incompatible with the
other evidence the state has been able
to produce. This would be a matter of
losric.
However, the defense does not In
tend to rest the case on the showing
of the prosecution. John White, at
torney tor Bartholomew, said yesterday
that in all probability he would put
Bartholomew on the witness stand to
day and that he would call four other
witnesses.
Presentation of authorities In a pro
test against the ruling of Judge Davis
excluding from evidence the baseball
bat with which the prosecution con
tends Lind was killed, and also all
evidence pertaining to the bat, will
be made by Prosecutor John Collier
this morning.
Judge Davis interrupted the testi
mony of Detective John Goltz yester
day, to comment that there was serious
doubt in his mind that he had decided
wisely in allowing testimony concern
ing the bat to go into evidence, and
that he wished to hear from both sides
on the question. A recess was taken.
In which Attorneys Collier and Roblson,
for the prosecution, and White, for the
defense, consulted law cooks. iney
argued their conclusions to Judge Da-
Vis, who decided for the defense.
Evidence of Bat Excluded.
"It I err I would rather it be on the
would not allow him to appeal from
the finality of a conviction, said the
jurist. "I will refuse to admit the
evidence and desire to instruct the
Jury to disregard any which has been
given concerning the bat, on the
grounds that the connection of the bat
with the crime and with the defend
ant Is too remote."
Prosecutor Collier asked permission
to present further authority In support
of his stand that the evidence should
be admitted, today, and the request was
granted.
The baseball bat was found In the
basement of the house where the mur
der was committed, six days after the
crime. The prosecution maintained
that It had been used by the murderer
and had been laid aside in the base
ment because it was too large to g'
Into the furnace in which other evi
dence of the slaying had been burned-
On the bat were stains, which, in
test made by Dr. R. L. Benson, pro
fessor of pathology and bacteriology
at the University of Oregon medical
school and pathologist for St. Vin
cent's and Good Samaritan hospitals.
December 14, 1916, were proved scien
tifically to have been made by human
blood.
While there was the blood evidence
to connect the bat with the murder.
there was no evidence introduced to
connect the bat with Bartholomew.
Tests Are Thorough.
The human blood tests were thor
ough, testified -Dr. Benson-yesterday,
and required In preparation nearly
two weeks, due to the serum inocula
tion of rabbits necessary to the proof
that the blood, discovered by a more
simple test, was human blood. Dr.
Benson's testimony, if Judge Davis
does not reverse his decision, must be
disregarded by the jury.
The transcript of the statement made
' Bartholomew before the District
Attorney was read by J. F. Wood,
court reporter, and Deputy District At
torney Robison. Though going into
more Intimate detail, the story was
nimilar In most respects to that told
Detective Snow and to which the de
tective testified Wednesday.
It contained the same admission that
he was in the room when John Lind
was killed by a person Bartholomew
pays was Paul Lund: that lie saw the
first blow struck: that lie left the room
for several minutes and returned to
find that the body of his friend Lind
had been stuffed into a green trunk;
that he cleaned up the room, and that
he helped dispose of the trunk In the
river.
Following its readintr Detective Goltz
was called to testify that Bartholomew
had told him that he met Lund twice
after the trunk had been thrown into
the river, whereas the statement to
District Attorney Evans emphatically
asserted that Bartholomew had never
met Lund again after the body had
been disposed of.
Courtroom Is Crowded.
Scores of spectators crowded the
courtroom yesterday, requiring five
Deputy Sheriffs, headed by Sheriff
Hurlburt, to maintain order at the
doorway at the opening of court in the
afternoon. Hair-pins, combs, gloves
and other articles were lost by women
In strenuous efforts to be first to the
seats.
Many filed Into the courtroom proper
t the adjournment of court with the
desire to examine more closely the
blood-stained sheets, clothing and
other grim evidence of the tragedy
which reposed in the green trunk
which once had contained the body of
Lind. They were ordered out by
Bailiff Furuset and Deputy District At
torney Robison.
Not for . the $500 reward offered for
tha arrest of Bartholomew, but to
clear away the suspicion attached to
himself by the possession of the coat
which had been worn by Lind, Robert

ARONSON HITS AD CLUB
Jeweler Says Business Competitors
Are Behind Charges.
PORTLAND. Jan. . (To the Edi
tor.) In answer to what seems to be
a carefully prepared article in The
Oregonian today from a certain cliquo
of the Ad Club to uphold ordinance on
on test, which is Just on the eve of
being heard in the Circuit Court, after
the city failed to make good before a
Jury In the Police Court, I trust that
you will give me as conspicuous space
for my answer as the Item referred to
was -given.
From the special counsel employed
it would appear, as I have suspected
all the time, that the matter, is not one
of prosecution in good faith. I also
desire to. say jith respect to the Ad
Club's investigating hundreds of ad
vertisements ' throughout tha city, and
being successful in correcting a great
many advertisements by calling the
attention thereto of the advertiser,
that this certainly was not true in my
case.
No one ever called upon me or found
fault with any of my ads. No one of
the public was ever deceived by any
thing purchased at my store, or by any
of my advertisements. No one of the
public has ever made complaint except
a stoolplgeon who tried to take advan
tage of a clerk in coaxing him to do an
act which was against the rules of my
etore.
The laws of the states named In said
article are not correct. There mav be
solated cities in those states which
have some city ordinance on the sub
ject, duc mey are not or the Kind or
brand sought to be enforced in Port
land. It is a case of the pot calling
the kettle mack. We all remember the
stunt pulled off by the Portland Ad
Club a year ago this month when they
marched from the Multnomah Hotel to
giant letterbox erected on Sixth
street, just back of the central Post-
office building.
The crowd marched through our
streets in "hot-weather attire," namaly
shirt sleeves, palm leaf fans and straw
hats, in a shivering snow storm, de
positing thousands of letters to various
people in the country, speaking of the
wonderful warm climate in the Win
ter, "showing folks in other parts of
the country who see by the moving
pictures what can be done in Portland
even in the winter' time." See daily
Oregonian of January 20, 1916, page 9,
column 1, and following editions.
That was about the biggest fake ever
pulled off in Oregon, and that by
crowd of people who profess to be hon
est advertisers, whatever that mav
mean. Another stunt was pulled off
by certain leading members and clique
by having one of the Issues of the Sat
urday Evening Post publish last month
a present-day picture of the Portland
harbor filled with ships when we all
know as a matter of fact that few
hips have been in the haYbor since
the war. An old picture had been used.
These and other stunts show the ab
solute lack of good faith on the part
of the certain members temporarily in
charge of the club and Its alleged ac
tivities, and more than ever show that
the so-called prosecution Is not in good
faith,- but is furthered by a limited
nuinbel of members who are compett
tors with me and my line of business.
The hirt-sleeve stunt was so raw that
it iurnished the basis of a mock in
dictment filed by Deputy District At
torney Robinson against these mem
hers, and a mock trial was had thereon
at one cf the luncheons given by the
Ad Club at the Benson Hotel a few
weeks later.
In this same mock trial, defending
these "leading members" was one of
the attorneys specially engaged to take
a hand in the case against me. and
which attorney at said mock trial, ad
mitted the charge.
It would be very interesting and
educational to the public If they could
read the testimony which I had taken
down in shorthand at the time of the
so-called hearing in the Police Court a
few weeks ago, and which resulted in
a disagreement, the majority of th
jurors being with me. and two of th
jury voting, guilty for the following
reasons, one on account of race preju
dice and the other that his employer

"Intolerance" Is in reality D. W.
Griffith's protest against society's evo
lution, which he has apparently found
faulty in many particulars. He has
given to his spectators a viewpoint of
large scope.- The picture gives the
impression of what transpires in the
mind of a great sociological thinker
and approximates that Idea to the ex
tent that the picture becomes the
visualization of a soliloquy of a mod
ern mind trying to grasp the larger
aspects of the great mind's thoughts.

ters entirely without the scope of their
oaths to act as honest and Impartial
jurors.
The public would see. In reading this
testimony. Just how they are being held
up and milked by the so-called public
benefactors, consisting. In the main.
of competitors pf mine.
I have a wholesome and great re
spect for the Ad Club as & body, many
of whose members are friends and pa
trons of mine, but It Is a certain
clique behind this persecution who are
using the club's good name to job me
and my business house.
I don't believe they can "pass It by'
or get away with It.

CODE ANALYZED BY
ROAD CONFERENCE
Proposal Is Considered Too
Sweeping in Power Given
to State Commission.
PRO-RATA COST DEMANDED
Measure Would Require Counties to
Fay Share for Roads and Legis
lature Would Select High
ways, Instead of Board.
Free discussion of the provisions of
the proposed new road code provided by
the Federal Government at the Invita
tion of the Oregon Association of
County Judges and Cpmmlssloners was
entered Into yesterday by engineers,
legislators, laymen and lawyers at the
meeting of the Commonwealth confer
ence at the Multnomah Hotel.
The code was considered by section
and the joint committee from the Good
Roads Congress and the County Judges'
and Commissioners' Association noted
objections taken and will codify the
road laws according to the sentiment
expressed.
The first article of the code consid
ered yesterday contained definite and
descriptive terms and was passed with
out objection.
Too Much Authority Feared,
The section that provided for the cre
ation of a highway commission, com
posed of the state engineer as' an ex-
off lclo member and two others appoint
ed by the Governor, raised a 6torm of
objection. Most of the objection cen
tered In the fact that there would be
friction should one of the members be
elected and the other two appointed. The
code provides, however, that the state
engineer shall hereafter be appointed
and not elected.
Most of those present seemed unwill
ing to invest the State Highway Com
mission with too great authority, trust
ing rather to the Judgment or the btate
Legislature to settle mooted questions.
The conference decided to allow tne
engineer to name the number and com
pensation of the employes of tne com
mission, but limited him in the expen
ditures for overhead of a "reasonable
percentage" of the total money named
for road Improvement.
L-eKlalaturo Would Xante Roada.
It was decided that It would be best
to let the Legislature Instead of the
State Highway Commission designate
the state roads.
One of the chief discussions of the
afternoon centered about the construc
tion and maintenance of state roads,
under the co-operation of the state
and counties.
The Federal code provides that the
highway engineer might approve state
foads for which the counties did not
wish to pay part of the construc
tion cost, and build the roads entirely
with state money.
It was the sense of the conference
that the counties should be forced to
pay their pro rata for slate roads. Ac
cordingly that article of the Federal
code was modified to meet that objec
tion. Whether the best efficiency would
obtain if the building of county roads
were left in the hands of the county
courts or with some competent engi
neer who would be responsible both to
the State Highway Commission and the
county courta was a much-discussed
question.
Road Evolution Traced.
Testerday morning three important
discussions, touching on many phases
of road construction and maintenance,
were taken up.
That tax-levying communities are
coming more and more to realize the
importance of building good roads was
brought out in the paper read by Dr.
L. I. Ilewes, of the Federal road bu
reau, who spoke on the "Highway as an
Investment."
He pointed to the inefficient meth
ods first used by states In the con
struction of highways and gave fig
ures showing the evolution of road
construction, during which an enor
mous impetus had been given to road
construction and a relative increase of
state control had been noted
Here are some of the significant fig
ures cited by Dr. Hewes
Bv January 1. 1914. 1230 counties
in the united states naa issued Donas
to a total amount of $286,557,075.
The first count of all annual high
way expenditures was made in 19U4
and showed that $80,000,000 had been
expended, one-fourth of which was the
value of statute labor. The same
count In 1909 showed an expenditure
of $160,000,000 and the last count iirde
in 1915 showed an expenditure of ap
proximately $82,000,000.
, . Broader View Taken.
"Highway 'expenditures have ceased
to be strictly local in character," said
Dr. Hewes. "They have enormously in
creased, have tended to become more
and more controlled by the state, have
by virtue of state control enabled the
construction of more than twice the
mileage of the famous National roads
of France, obtained nearly 7 per cent
of their funds in 1916 from motor ve
hicle revenues, and have been accom
panied by a constantly accelerated
growth of traffic, which traffic moves
at a markedly reduced cost per ton
per mile."
A study of tne traffic neeas, ur.
Hewes said, should precede the laying
of a programme for future road de
velopment. The first cost should be made large
enough to cover efficient construction.
be asserted, so that maintenance would
not cost so much.
The need for grade elimination on
all roads was voiced by Frank J. Mil
ler. Public Service Commissioner.
"States have done much to conserve
their natural resources," said Mr. Mil
ler, "but they have done not so much
to conserv human life, the dearest and
most important resources of any na
tion. Grade Elimination Urged.
"The Increased speed of motor ve
hicles, the immensity of tourist travel
by automobile, the Increased speed and
the shortening of service of railroads
has made the question of grade elimi
nation one of the most important of
safety first questions.
"The ideal situation is to have grade
eliminations on all roads, but the pop
ulation of this state would not warrant
such action yet.
"If roads warrant hard-surfacing or
other permanent improvement, then
they warrant grade elimination."
C. E. tipence, master of the State
Grange, made a number of suggestions
as to how the distribution of the ex
pense of building and maintaining
roads should be made. -
He named as first in importance the
district road. "The road that leads
from the producing center to the mar
ket place is iu my estimation the most
important of all roads," said Mr.
Spence.

"County roads are of next import

some districts that cannot afford to

"The development of the agricultural

'For raising sufficient funds for the
construction of state roads I would
suggest that the present millage be
doubled.
"The licensing of motor vehicles
should be raised from 5 even to $23,
and that money diverted to the road
fund.
Perhaps the best way for scenic
roads to pay for themselves would be
by the establishment of toll gates.
