Hies. FALING KEEK
DECLARES WITNESS
Mrs. Clara Waldo Tells How
She Was Consulted Re
garding Tentative Will.
FRIENDSHIP IS RELATED
Witness Says Mrs. Faling Always
Had a Kindly Feeling for William
Metzger, AYJiom She Tie ft $30 0 0
at Time of Her Death.
Testimony so clear and definite as
to til rill a courtroom which sat in close
attention featured the contest of the
Xaril'a Faling estate yesterday, when
Mrs. . Clara Humason "Waldo, daughter
of prominent Oregon pioneers, occu
pied tihe stand for the greater share of
the dajf.
It was the story of Mrs. Faline's
kindly feelinfr and affection for "Will
lam MeXzger. formerly a hotel eluvator
operator,, whom she sent to college,
and whoVi she later remembered in her
will with a bequest. of 53000. It was
likewise a story of her close friendship
to Mrs. Falinsr during a period of sev
eral years, beginning in 1904. And
throughout her testimony Mrs Waldo
reiterated time and again that Mrs.
Faling always retained a keen mind
when it came t,o lior business and fin
ancial affairs, even though she became
broken in health and perhaps some
what childish during the later years
of her life.
Clour Friendship Related.
Mrs. "WaJdo. who is the daughter of
the late Jiidge Orlando Humason. of
The Dalles, and widow of the late John
B. Waldo, former Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, said that her ac
nuaintance with Mrs. Faling started
in 1904, when, they met at the Sargent
H.otel, where both were stopping.
'Mrs, "Waldo told in detail of how her
acquaintance with Mrs. Faling soon
reached a po6nl where the latter of
fered adyic to her along financial mat
ters. She said Mrs. Faling took an in
terest in her because of their similar
circumstances. Both had daughters,
and both had property interests on
Washington street.
"Did she state in her conversations
with you anything about women coming
to her with reference' to money mat
ters'.'" she was aslted by John F. Logan
on direct examination.
"Oh, yes," was the response. "She
said so few women were good business
women and said they came to borrow
money for such frivolous purposes. I
asked her if she loaned it and she said
not very often, for before payday comes
she knew the women would be glad
they could not borrow it."
"Did she ever speak of pioneers and
the old days to you?"
"Will Is EHncnssed.
"About Thanksgiving time In 1907
she talloed to me about her will, and
told me what she intended to do; and
she listed several things, organized
charities and philanthropic institutions
that she had in mind then to leave her
money to. But she said, 'I am not quite
satisfied with the way I have worked
this thing out.' She asked me what I
would do, and I told her, being a mem
ber of the Oregon Historical Society,
that I should leave it a legacy. She
aid she had not thought of that. 'You
know, I don't have much pleasure in
remembering pioneer days,' she said at
that time."
"Did you know her early history?"
"Only an outline."
"Did she at that time or any subse
quent time mention relatives?"
"Well, when she asked me what I
should do if I were in her place, I
remember distinctly I said, "I believe in
the tie of kinship, and I should leave
my property to relatives even if I did
not like them." She waved the sub
ject aside and said, 'I have no relatives
who have any claim upon me, except
that brother the County Court makes
me support." She would not talk about
it. She really would, not acknowledge
she had relatives."
Interest In Boy Told.
The real feature of her testimony
was that in connection with Mrs.
Faling's interest in Wi' am Metzger.
of which she had an intimate knowl
edge by reason of her being a me er
of the Board of Regents of the Oregon
Agricultural College, a. position she
now occupies. She is, by the way, the
only woman ever to be named as regent
of this Institution. She told of sending
a Salem youth, Fred Keiser, to the
same institution at the time Mrs.
Faling was sending young Metzger to
O. A. C.
"One da' when I was at Mrs. Faling's
room she .aid she was interested In a
boy who was running the elevator, and
told me that his name was William
Metzger." she said. "She told me she
wanted to give this boy a business edu
cation. She spoke of business college,
but I urged her to send him to O. A. C,
where we have a splendid school of
commerce.
"That same day she had the young
man come to the room and we talked
it over. I felt interested in the young
man when I first saw him. I told her
about my paying half the expense of
sending Fred Keiser to O. A. C, so we
arranged to go to Corvallis on the
same train.
"She joined me on the train with
William Metzger. My boy joined us
at Salem, and we went to Corvallis. I
took them to the Administration build
ing to call on President Kerr, and
showed them around through the other
buildings, and introduced them to the
then director of the experiment sta
tion, Mr. Withycombe, now Governor.
Mrs. Faling took a great interest in it
and was willing to spend for William
what I thought was best. She was not
niggardly. She came right up to the
mark and did it right along."
"Now, throughout this whole trans
action did Mrs. Faling express surprise
at the amount of money being spent, or
hedge in any way in the payment of
bills?" the witness was asked.
"I don't remember any surprise," she
replied. "But I remember she had a
great deal of satisfaction out of Will
iam's letters, and she showed me one
or two in 1911. I thought she was
really much pleased with what she had
done."
"What do you say as to her ration
ality and ability to transact business
and to know the business she was about
throughout this whole transaction?"
Keen In Money Matters.
"Oh, she was sharp, and shrewd and
witty. She was very keen. Mrs. Fal
ing in my relations with her was al
ways very keen in money matters. She
liked to talk about business affairs.
When it came to business matters she
was always very keen and shrewd and
had a way of saying very witty things,
a little bit on the sarcastic line. She
was a good business woman."
Later on in her testimony the wit
ness told of how William Metzger, dur
ing his second year at O. A. C, had
confided to her that he was in love
with a young co-ed. Upon her advice
he returned to Portland and told Mrs.
baling. He then insisted upon leaving
college in order to begin his battle of
life, and Mrs. Faling was greatly dis
appointed. "She had told me once that she would
leave William 510,000 in her will, but
after his decision to quit college she at
first said she would not remember him
at all; but later she relented," said
Mrs. Waldo.
Hotel ClerK Left WOOO.
By the terms of the will. Mr. Metzger,
now a clerk at the Imperial Hotel, was
left $3000. His wife is the college
co-ed with whom he fell in love during
his second year at school.
"What were the sentiments of Mrs.
Faling toward Mr. Strong?" the witness
was asked in another part of her exam
ination. Mr. Strong, together with C. L. Mead,
i. th" principal leeratee of Mrs. Faling's
S500.000 estate, which W. Tyler Smith,
of Sheridan, a purported cousin, is at
tempting to have set aside.
"Mrs. Faling was very slow to dis
cuss people with me," Mrs. Waldo re
plied. "But several times she men
tioned Mr. Strong in the way of her
adviser and always with the highest
regard. She said Mr. Strong and his
father, William Strong, had saved mon
ey for her and helped her to save her
property through their management
and advice."
Court adjourned yesterday after Mrs.
Waldo was asked a few minor ques
tions on cross-examination. The trial
will be resumed Monday morning, when
Mrs. Etna Chattin-E'uller will conclude
her testimony. Mrs. Fuller is consid
ered to be the most important witness

A successful scheme for eliminating
danger and increasing- speed of traffic
has been the plan of throwing a flood
of light upon traffic policemen, so that
their motions can be easily distin
guished. The Union Blectric Light &
Power Company, of St. Louis, has tried
increasing the illumination at busy cor
ners bv lamDa located on hio- hnilHin
j or well above the street, thus benefiting

be afflicted. Every man and woman In
Portland who is known to be afflicted
will be placed under quarantine In a
detention camp until a permanent cure
has been effected, officials assert.
A committee of city and county offi
cials, headed by John MeCourt, repre
senting the Fosdick Commission, re
cently appointed to investigate moral
conditions as they pertain to the sol
diers, will this morning select a tem
porary detention home for these women.
Kelly Butte probably will be selected as
a temporary quarantine station, and be
fore nightfall some 43 women now un
der detention who are known to be dis
eased, may be in custody at this tempo
rary camp.
Sheriff Hurlburt has promised that
immediate arrangements can be made
for the caring of at least 60 women at
the Kelly Butte quarters immediately.
Multnomah County will bear the finan
cial burden Incident to this camp for at
ieast six months.
S2o,00O May Be Spent.
The city administration is expected
to iegin today to make all preliminary
plans for the erection of a permanent
detention home for the treatment of
diseased women. If necessary it will
expend 25,00O for such a building and
v.-i'i make every effort to have such a
heme ready for operation within six
months, it is declared.
These, in brief, are the plans agreed
upon yesterday afternoon at a Joint ses
sion of the city and county commis
sioners, together with business men,
delegates from the Oregon Hygiene So
ciety and other -city and counLy offi
cials. The meeting at times threatened
to disband under an outburst of yerbal
fireworks.
Jail Found Inadequate.
The joint meeting was held when it
was found that the City Jail is entirely
inadequate to take care of the half
hundred women whom It is estimated
it will be necessary to quarantine. City
officials and others then appealed to
the county Hoard for the temporary
use of two unused wings of the County
jan ror the detention of these women
until the city can build a permanent
detention home. Sheriff Hurlburt said
it would be almost impracticable to
use any part of the County Jail. The
meeting was then called and the use of
Kelly Butte tentatively agreed on.
It is estimated that the county will
be called upon to expend approximately
$15,000 for the care of the women for
the next ix months. Commissioners
Holman, Holbrook and Muck all ex
pressed themselves later as being en-
wreij wining to provide this money.
City to Build Permanent Home.
In return for this emergency relief
which the county is asked to offer, the
city administration pledges itself to
proceed with all haste in the construe
tion of a permanent detention home.
As soon as this home is ready the
county s liability will have ceased.
Commissioner Barbur suggested at
the meeting that the detention of men
who are also diseased should be an im
portant step in the work.
"If you isolate the women but let
the men go at large you will soon
have a fresh crop of diseased women
on your bands again, was his com
ment.
Myor Baker called attention to the
fact that a city ordinance now provides
that all physicians must report to the
city board of health any and all ve
nereal diseases under their care. He
said this regulation would be strlctlv
enforced. It was agreed by all present
that men should receive the same treat
ment as women.
Ihe County Board has agreed to
meet at the convenience of the special
committee named to select a tempo
rary detention home.

the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company
and was the second of her class in th.5
water and certain changes and Im
provements made after experience with
the City of l'ortland, her sister, natur
ally attracted attention to her initl.il

The vessel was detained in the foer on I

Fifteenth-street terminal late Thurs
day night, where she will discharge'
1S:!5 tons of copra and 100.000 feet nf

Tonga, in the Friendly Islands, and.
besides her cargo, had one sack of
mail, which was delivered at the Cus-tom-House
yesterday. 35 davs after
it had been accented aboard the
schooner.
From the ship's log Captain Mitchell
extracted data interesting to those con
cerned with auxiliary schooners, and
that shows on her outbound voyage.
which began early in June, the dis
tance from Astoria to Honolulu, "427
miles as the vessel logged it. was cov

Honolulu to Sydney. 4457 miles. 5
days and 23 hours were consumed. The
run to Tonga, 226 miles, was made in
12 days and seven hours, and from the
islands to Honolulu, 3200 miles, the
ship was 20 days on the way, and she
was 15 days from Honolulu here.
ith a fair wind and moderate sea
It is said the Allard will reel off 19a
miles a day. Her fuel consumption
was 20 barrels a day, which is declared
to be highly satisfactory.
Captain .Mitchell and Chief Engineer
Gardiner brought home a boxful of
experiences, one of which was that
they met an Island King who weighed
398 pounds and was ti.7 feet tall. About
the time the ship was getting readv
to leave with her copra it was found
no- iresn meat could be obtained, as
there was a wedding feast in prospect
and a royal decree prohibited anv of
the domestic beasts being slaughtered
in advance or that.
The crew of the ship was paid off
yesterday at the Custom-House, and as
all who signed on her returned, some
had tidy sums due them. The Allard
will be drydocked when her cargo Is
aiscnargea so mat the null may be in
spected. cleaned and repainted. Being
in the South Seas resulted in a heavy
marine growth below the water line.
