'this -city. This sum is included in the
budget which Is to be submitted td

confer with the local workers. Com-?

recently visited here, and the recrea
tional places outside of the camps under
the supervision of the local division of
the Young Women's Christian Associa
tion, which directs the hostess houses
at Vancouver and Camp Lewis, have
effected a consolidation of these move
ments. The result here was the organization
of the committee yesterday and the plan
for the campaign for $75,000.

SEVERAL WILLS DRAWN
THOMAS STRONG TESTIFIES AS TO
MRS. VAMNG'S CONDITION.
Wltnesa Admits Writing; Letter to For.
mcr Conntr Clerk Relative to'
Woman's Pecnllar Slsnatare.
That he had made out a number of
wills for tbe late Xarifa Jane Faliflg;
and had never been named a one of the
beneficiaries until the making- of her
last will in 1915. was testimony given
yesterday by Thomas N. Strong, one of
the chief beneficiaries' of the $600,000
estate now under contest by W. Tyler
Smith, of Sheridan. Or.
Mr. Strong said that he had made
out a will for Mrs. Falingr in 1911 and
another one in 1914. but in neither
was he made a legatee.
Attorneys for Dr. Smith 'again yes
terday examined the witness as to Mrs.
Fallng's alleged mental incapacity. He
was asked if it was not a fact that
while Mrs. Faling was living in Sell
wood Hn 1914 she was found hurrying
down the street insufficiently clad and
remarked that aha. was looking for an
undertaker.
The witness admitted writing a let
ter to a former Coviaty Clef k in 1911. in
which he had to guarantee the genu
ineness of Mr Faling's signature to
some legal paper. He said this was
necessary because of her nervous con
dition, which made her writing appear
unnatural.
Yesterday was the seventh day in
which Mr. Strong has occupied the
stand. He probably will be called to
testify at least two more days on cross
examination. -V

STATE'S CASE ATTACKED
CHIN JUNG HIN . MURDER TRIAL
WILL CLOSE MONDAY.
Wong See and Other Defense Witnesses
Give Testimony Relative to Hln's
Connection With Tonga. -
Further attacks against the testi
mony given by Wong Wah and Chin
Gee Hoy, Chinese informants against
the allied "Hop and Suey Sing tongs,
were made yesterday by numerous wit
nesses for the defense in the trial of
Cliin Jung Hin, president of the.'Suey
Sing tone, charged with complicity in
the murder of Chin Hong, on June 2,
last. . '
That Chin Gee Hoy was expelled from
the Suey Sing tong at Los Angeles five
years ago and shortly after joined? the
Bing ICung tong was the testimony
given by Won. See, who was brought
here from Los Angeles to assist the
defense. "Chin Gee Hoy previously had
testified that he is still a member of
Ithe Suey Sing tong and had attended
the murder meetingr of the Hops and
t5ueys on May 28, as one of the Suey
ing gunmen.
Won See brought with him a copy
of the alleged tong record, wherein it
was shown that Chin Gee Hoy had
been officially expelled from the tong,
but -this record was not permitted in
evidence as an exhibit. Deputy District
Attorney Collier charged that he would
prove the record to be spurious.
Patrolman Wellbrook, of Ihe Port
land police force, testified that ex
Police Chief Clark had eent him to
Chin Hong, the murdered Chinese, some
months before the killing, with the
order for mm to "cut out the rough
stuff." Chin Hong Indicated, said the
witness, that he was not ready to call
it quits with the rival tongs because
he was not satisfied.
The defense announced "last night
that its case would te concluded by
Monday evening.

C0U HATHAWAY INSTALLED
New Collector of Customs for Hono
lulu Readies Post.
HONOLULU. T. H.. Dec. 19. (Spe
cial.) Colonel Howard Hathaway, of
Everett, Wash., recently appointed col
lector of customs for Honolulu, arrived
in the city today. The new official
came direct from Washington, D. C,
and one of his first acts was to de
clare that he never sought the office.
The Colonel admitted that he had
been recommended for the position by
the Democratic state central committee
of Washington. Honolulu people gen
erally held that the office should have
been given to Ralph S. Johnston, deputy
collector, who had been in that posi
tion for the past IS years.
