TIIE MOItXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, 3IAY 21, 1917.
MRS. MOONEY TO
FACE TRIAL TODAY
Frank C. Oxman Again to Be
Witness in Bomb Murder
Case in San Francisco.
NEW EVIDENCE EXPECTED
Photographs Offered to Show That
Mooneys Were in Another Part
of City at Time of Ex
plosion in Parade.
BAN FRANCISCO. May 20. Mrs. Rena
Mooney, wife of Thomas J. Mooney,
who is under sentence of death for
murder growing out of the prepared
ness day bomb explosion on July 22,
1916. will go on trial tomorrow in
Judge Frank H. Dunne's department of
the Superior Court, on the same charge.
Judge Dunne, it has been announced,
will withdraw from the case as a result
of charges of bias made by Maxwell
McNutt, attorney for Mrs. Mooney. It
was reported that Judge Emmett Sea
well, of Santa Rosa, will be selected
by Judge Dunne to preside in the case.
Mrs. Mooney was indicted with four
others shortly after the explosion
which killed ten persons and wounded
CO others.
Oxman to Be Wllnai.
Warren Billings and Mooney have
neen convicted, the former being under
life sentence. Both cases are on ap
peal in the State Supreme Court. Ed
Ward Nolan, a machinist, and Israel
"Weinberg, a chauffeur, are awaiting
trial.
Frank C. Oxman, the Oregon cattle
man, who was the principal witness
against Mooney, was among 105 wit
nesses summoned in the trial of Mrs.
Mooney. Oxman, as a result of charges
made by McNutt. has been held to
answer In the Superior Court for at
tempted subornation of perjury. He
was accused of having sought to obtain
perjured testimony from F. E. Rigall,
of Grayville, 111., in the Thomas J.
Mooney trial.
In the Mooney case Oxman testified
that on the day of the explosion he saw
an automobile drive up to the corner
of Market and Stuart and one of the
four occupants alight and desposit a
suitcase on the sidewalk.
Number of Car Taken.
The person alleged that the suitcase
contained the bomb which caused the
explosion. Oxman identified the oc
cupants of the car as Mooney, Mrs.
Mooney, Warren K. Billings and Israel
Weinberg, the driver. The suspicious
actions of the party, Oxman testified,
caused him to take down the number
of the machine on the back of an
envelope.
Months later, in the course of the
Mooney trial, thj envelope was pro
duced in court by Oxman and the num
ber was shown by state automobiles
records to correspond with that owned
by Weinberg.
It has not been divulged by the de
fense what evidence will be brought to
bear in the forthcoming trial to com
bat the testimony of the state, but it was
believed that some of the old ground
In Mooney's case will be traversed by
counsel for Mrs. Mooney.

SION COURSE.
W.
J. Kerr, President of College. Ad
dresses Students of Special
Class In Portland.
Portland men, graduates In an ex
tension course in engineering conduct
ed by the Oregon Agricultural College,
were given their diplomas caiuraay
by President Kerr at Alisky halL The
ceremony was attended by numerous
congratulatory talks. The meeting was
under the auspices of Local Union, No.
87. of Engineers, which inaugurated
the extension course, and Charles ' P.
Howard, president of the Central Lahor
Co-unciL presided.
"The Oregon Agricultural college nas
but one motto," said President Kerr in
presenting the diplomas, "and that is
'Service.' Whenever the O. A. C. can
be of help to anyone throughout the
state we shall be most happy to have
such an one call upon us.
"The progressive spirit of these en
gineers is creditable indeed and it is the
aim of tne O. A. j. ana similar insn
tutions throughout the country to af
ford the equality of educational oppor
tunity."
Graduates of the extension course in
engineering were: J. P. Byrne, L. R
Depperman, D. C. Denmark, G. O. Fors
berg, F. F. McCanz, D. M. Cully, A. L.
Park. J. E. Pelton and J. W. White.
Talks were made by Frank S. Myers,
Professor Goldman, of O. A. C, who
instructed the class; William MacKen'-
sie. international representative of the
engineers' union; E. J. Stack, secre
tary of the Oregon State Federation of
Labor: President Voorse, of the Ore
gon Society of Engineers; J. Francis
Drake, Dean Covell, of the Oregon Ag
ricultural College, and L. R. Depper
man, who responded on behalf of the
class.
The talks were enjoyed by the large
audience and musical numbers were
given that added to the attractiveness
of the programme.
of Mr. Spence or one of his followers
to speak in opposition, for it is true
that the so-called speeches delivered by
these men against the bonds are about
the best arguments that can be made
for them. This was found particularly
true on Saturday when Postmaster
Myers .of Portland, delivered his dia
tribe "ferninst" the issue. There is
no doubt but the speech of Mr. Myers
made many votes for the bonds.
M. r. Mars, editor and proprietor of
the Gervais Star, presided at the meet
ing yesterday. The first speaker was
Mr. Benson, who, in his confidential
and convincing way, went over the
question and explained to the audience
the law and what he. as chairman of
the commission, proposed to do in the
event of the law passing. He dwelt
particularly upon the fact that, while
Portland would in no wise be a direct
beneficiary under the law, Multnomah
County would pay 40 per cent of the
bonds and interest, provided the auto
mobile tax does not take care of the
debt.
Walter I.. Tooxe Ia Heard.
Walter L. Tooze. he of the far-reach
ing and mellifluous voice, was the next
speaker. He called attention to the
fact that for more than 30 years he
had been a citizen- of Marion County,
and that he knew what the bad roads
had cost the citizens. Then he went
into the dealings he had had while a
merchant in buying produce, and the
heavy tax the growers had paid owing
to bad roads. He called attention to
the fact that during the last 10 years
he state had paid 40.000,000 for patch
ng roads, but never had money enough
at one time to lay out and carry
through a real road system. He showed
that such a system must be the work
of a central state power; that it could
never be done locally. Walter carried
his audience with him and certainly
made friends for the cause.
Jay Bowerman was the next speaker.
and he went over the whole question
in his usual argumentative and con
vincing manner. He cited many in
stances to show the excessive cost of
the producer in getting his products to
market; and. on the other hand, of the
saving under good roads.
Illuntratlons Are Given.
He told of the case of Harry West.
of Columbia County, who saved last
year in shipping cream to the Portland
market by auto truck over the good
road the sum of $540. He also cited
the case of Farmer Davis, of Eastern
Multnomah County, who now ships his
potatoes to Portland by auto truck at
$1 a ton, which is 1 2 less than the cost
when the roads were unfit for travel.
He also cited from Government bul
letins the fact that for five years s
survey had been made in nine counties
of Southern states which showed that
money spent on good roads had ad
vanced the prices of adjacent lands
from 100 to 300 per cent of the cost of
the roads.
At the conclusion of Mr. Bowerman's
address the chairman noticed that G. F,
Rodgers, of Salem, was in the audience.
and he was called upon. Mr. Rodgers
was right at home on the question, for
he cited what he called a "Jim Crow
commission appointed by Governor
West several years ago to Improve the
road between Salem and Gervais. A
tax of 10 mills was levied and col
lected, and the money simply wasted
by scattering a little sand and gravel
in the mudholes. Mr. Rodgers Is a fine
speaker, and he carried the audience
right along with him.
Walter Tooze then asked for the ad
vocates of the bill present to stand up
over half of the audience arose but
not one stood to be counted against
the measure. It was the opinion of
many of those present that the audi
ence was really more than two-thirds
in favor of the bond Issue.

at present at least, and will bend it
efforts toward developing flax to such
an extent that at least one new small
acutching mill may be established eacn
year. Under this plan it is believed the
establishment of a large mill will take
care of itself in the future.

The case of the city of Seaside against

tion to recover the sum paid the de
fendant for the construction of what ia

the one against C. O. Randies that

NINA
KITTS IN LEAD
MAC LEWIS FIRST FOR KING
Others Are Bunched so Closely,
However, That Rumors of Dark
Horse Are Heard and Con
test Will Be Furious.
The first week of the contest for
Fairy Queen and King of Portland's
11th annual Rose Festival. June 13. 14
and 15, has ended, and when the votes
for the little candidates were counted
last night by the judges it was found
that MIm Nina Kitta stood first, with
Dorris Phillips a close second and six
others bunched and tnly a few votes
behind the leaders. Mac Lewis stood
first among the boys with Jack Packer
second.
It has been a strenuous week for the
youngsters and for their friends as
well. Remarks dropped by their com
panions indicate that this week will
be still warmer, with possibilities of
the appearance of a dark horse among
the leaders of prospective royalty.
The standing of the first eight of the
17 candidates for Queen were in the
following order when the ballot boxes
were opened for the first time by Mrs.
G. J. Frankel. chairman of the contest
committee, and her assistants:
Nina Kitts. Dorris Phillips, Shirley
Cohn. Bevorly Tragllo. Willa Rhoades.
Lucile Moore, Helen Lagerquist and
Marybeth Woodward. Nina Kitts, who
now leads by a narrow margin, has the
backing of the Oregon Hotel Greeters
They have inaugurated a state-wide
campaign in her behalf.
Dorris Phillips is championed by the
Progressive Business Men's Club, the
Junior Artisans and the Greater Port
land Association. The Spanish-Ameri
can war veterans are working in behalf
of Shirley Cohn, who now stands third.
Mac Lewis, who leads for King, has
annexed Gresham as one of his forces.
In addition he has obtained the back
ing of the Rockwood Improvement
Club, and a large part of Irvington is
wearing his colors as well.
To correct an erroneous impression
that has gained circulation, Mrs.
Frankel said yesterday that no candi
date will be allowed to swing her votes
to another candidate. Once a vote is
cast for a contestant' it cannot be
changed in favor of another under any
circumstances. To allow a "switch of
that character would work to the det
riment of the others.
The relative standing of candidates
will be given out again the latter part
of this week.
