4 - THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, ,31 AY 2G 1920 1ST IS CREATED FDR THE OREGONMN Mr- Pittock's Great Object in His Two Wills. 'USE OF INFLUENCE DENIED Mr. Price, Mr. Bristol, Sir. Duni vay, Judge Stapleton and Others Testify in Contest. Deafer to the late Henry L. Pit tock than any other possession was The Oregonian, source of his wealth, and to preserve it he would have sac rificed all his other holdings. With an Indebtedness of more than a mil lion dollars in 1S16, he drew up his last will, placing all his property in u 20-ear trust, with the high aim of perpetuating The Oregonian, though other enterprises might fail. O. L. Price, executor of the will of Mr. Pittock and one of of the trus tees of the estate, who is under at tack In the circuit court, so testified in tho course of the hearing jester day in the will contest of Mrs. Caro line P. Leadbetter, daughter of Air. Pittock. "Regardless of what happens, I want it understood that what wealth I may possess is due to The Orego nian and is to be used to protect The Oregonian, if everything else goes (said Mr. Pittock to Mr. Price shortly nftor the .first will was drawna as. burled the executor yesterday. Orders Declared V olloweJ. The witness declared that on nu mcrous occasions Mr. Pittock spoke of changes ho desired to make in his 1012 will, before instructing Mr. Price to draw up his new and final will. The executor insisted that he had no hand whatever in the drawing up Of the will- of August 23. 1916, except tho mechanical drafting of the instru ment under tho direct orders of Mr. Pittock. "Did you give Mr. Pittock any ad vice regarding the advisability of trust for his property?" asked Charles H. Carey, one of the attorneys for the proponents, of Mr. Price. "He did tiot ask me for any." re plied Mr. I 'rice. "Did you suggest to him how i should be drawn?" pursued the at torney. "1 made no suggestions whatever. Ho told me what he wanted and wrote it: down. Ho never asked me lor any advice in the matter." The contestant of the will main tains that Mr, Price conspired with C. A. Morden, trustee of the estate and manager of The Oregonian, to exclude tho heirs of Mr. Pittock from a voice in his affairs for 20 years after death through establishment of the trust. Cumulative evidence that Mr. Pit tock was not a man who would per mit his will.to be dominated by others and that his mentality was alert and keen to the last was produced during the second day of the hearing by the testluiony of an even do2en witnesses, the first of whom was William C. Dristol, attorney. Independent Ad-rice. Sought Testimony of Mr. Bristol was im portant, from the viewpoint of the proponents, chiefly because it estab lished the fact that Mr. Pittock had sought Independent advice at the time he was preparing his first will and did not rely solely on the counsel of Mr. Price or Mr. Morden, as has been contended by the contestant. Further, Mr. Bristol was very em phatic in his assertion that Mr. Pit tock was not a man who was accus tomed to accept the Imposition of the will of another "over his own. He waid he was a man who would decide a question with finality after hearing all sides, but without discussing the matter himself with anyone, in ar riving at his conclusion. Mr. Price occupied tho stand most of the afternoon and was the chief witness produced by the proponents of the will. His narrative was a calm, clear and frank analysis of his rela tions with Mr. Pittock, the business affairs or his employer and tho un derlylng causes for the execution of the two wills one In 1912 and the otner in JDib. nooks of Firm Kept. In Introduction, Mr. Trice paid that Jo Whs admitted to the bar in Oregon in jsuii, alter graduation from th( law school of the University of Ore on. and came to Portland in 1901 from Newberg at the invitation of Attorneys Cake & Cake to accept a position in their office. Incidentally, Cake & Cake are attorneys for Mrs Jcadbrttor in the will contest. On October 1, 1908, Mr. Price left the Jaw firm to accept employment tt-ith the firm of Pittock & Leadbetter. with offices at .01 Oregonian build ing, and ceased private practice of law. Both Mr. Tittock and Mr. Lradbet ter were, men of wealth and bad many enterprises in common, one large in interest being in land at Camas. Wash. Mr. Price's duties were to look after the private affairs of Jus employers .and. originally, to keep the books of the concern, for which bo was to be paid $200 a mouth. He opened a set ot books for the private account of Mr. Pittock, but Mr. Pit tock kept a small cash book in which lie entered all receipts and disburse ments and which he balanced month Jy, so that the work of Mr. Price in this connection chiefly was to copy entries into another cash book and make up journal and ledger en tries. Mr. Price's salary was paid by the company, not by Mr. Pittock or Mr. l.eadbetter individually. He seldom appeared in court cases, though han dling all legal affairs for the con rem, employing his brother, D. P. Price, usually for such work. At one time Cake & Cake were em ployed, he recalled, with regard to the cancellation of a lease on the Pittock block in 1S13. Mr. Trice said he drew both wills for Mr. Pittock. and, incidentally that drew the will of Mr. Leadbetter, husband of the contestant. Asked regarding the preparation of the first will, Mr. Price replied: Loss of Employe Keared. On a day in May, 1912, I went into Mr. Pittock's. office a was my custom and found him sitting at his desk with his chair tipped forward, his hands folded and his head on his thumbs. It was a characteristic at titude. Nothing was said for a few moments. Presently he looked up and said: 'Mr. Price, I'm in trouble. Im afraid I may lose Mr. Piper. He's a good man and I don t want to lose him. He has received a very flat tering offer of an increase in salary and a certain bonus of stock. I am perfectly willing to meet the advance in salary, but I would not consider giving him stock in the company. ie has led me to believe that he wants to stay and I want to arrange some way to satisfy him, but he must be assured of his tenure in office.' ' "Mr: Pittock went on to talk or The Oregonian and what it meant to him. Days, or a week,, later, Tie saia that he wanted me to prepare his will, but first to draft a clause, tne substance of which he outlined to me. I wrote down the provisions or the clause that now appears in the 1916 will with reference to The Ore gonian. He said he wanted me to make the same arrangement for Mr. Morden as for Mr. Piper. From the notes I took 1 wrote nut on tvnewnter in Dest mentary form I could the clause he had dictated. I did not mase any draft of the general will at that time. He took the paper, and it was the last I saw of it for several days. Finally he handed it back to me wun- out any change and -asKeu me 10 show it to Mr. Morden and hip. Piper, which I did. Son-ln-I.nrr I Named. "Then he asked me .to prepare his formal will, including that clause. I asked whom he wanted for trustees and ho said Mr. Morden and myself. As successors, in case of vacancy, he named Ed Gantenbein, bis son-in-law, and his son, Fred F. Pittock. . I am not clear as to which came first. After directions for the disposition of the rest of the property he named myself and Mrs. Pittock as executors. The execution of the will was wit nessed by Mrs. Milburn and Mr. Hart mus. "Mr. Tittock stated about that time that there were certain other things ho wanted to do in bis will but that he was not yet ready.- He had not concluded the 99-year lease on the Pittock block and other matters. un der consideration. He placed the will in the safe deposit box in the vault in his office." Mr. Morden was in "New Tork when the first will was drawn and was never spoken to concerning it until after the will was drawn, said the witness, it was after this time that Mr. Pittock was said to have referred to his desire to see The Oregonian preserved above everything else. Debt Nearly Gone. "Mr. Pittock said that he wanted later to make some changes in his will," declared Mr. Rice. "He was practically out of debt in 1912. His indebtedness was only $108,000 and his income $285,000 a year and no income tax. There were many changes in his business affairs by August 23, ISIS. i ' "Mr. Pittock was president of the Portland Trust company in 1912. The Northwestern National bank was or ganized in the fall of 1912. Mr. Pit tock took stock in the bank for which SHE IS A MIXTURE OF Vivacious France Languorous Java Inscrutable Samoa AND MUCH 9 SHIMMIE I he paid $250,000. A company then was organized for the purpose of building a home for the bank, in which Mr. Pittock took $125,000 in stock. This building concern later required an investment of $500,000, ue to the falling in of a part of the Id Marquam building and the erec tion of the new bank building, more than Mr. Pittock had figured on in vesting in it. He also started to build his home on the hill, costing 350,000 for. the house alone. "Because of financial difficulties in which a brother had become involved in Pittsburg, Mr. Pittock made large advances to mm. totaling about $250. 000. so that at.thp tlma tho 1Q1R will was drawn bo had an indebtedness of more than one million dollars. The Northwestern National bank, which has had a marvelous growth since. was just beginning to pay dividends hen. The Northwest Fidelity com pany, holding company for the bank building, was not paying anything. Mill Is ('banned. In 1915 and early in 1916 he spoke several times of dTesiring to ehanee his will. One day when I entered his office he had his 1912 will before him and he was studying it. He told me he wanted to change it. placing his otner properties in trust as well as rue uregonlan. With his will before him. he told me what he wanted and i wrote it down. considerable time was spent In drafting different portions of the will Aiore than one rough draft was made before the final draft, -me changes were numerous and were made, of course, in his handwriting. At last he said to me: "I wish you would prepare tins in final form. It is ex actly as X want it." I suggested that it was somewhat complicated and that ii wouio db wise to submit it to an- otner attorney. It s exactly what I want.' h plied. 'I'm satisfied.

" ;.iu no wouia initial them. aid jtot see him do It, but those ini uais are ni Mr. Price testified to takinir the wit irom ine vault after Mr. Piling ueatn. incidentally, he spoke of hav ing authority to sign Mr. Pittock1 name to checks on the bank. 1 don t see how Mr. Pittock could nave oeen unduly influenced " tti fled Wilkle C. Duniway of 470 Hall street, an employe of Mr. Pittock in the mechanical department of The Oregonian from 1SS0 to 1915, when he uecame ouno, 'Tor the reason that h naa a way of going to the kernel everything with his clear, incisive mina. ne naa a raculty of seein through almost every A-onositlnn whether designed to influence him or requiring a business decision Know he was not easily influence unless his business judgment told him mat was tne thing to do." i Mr. Duniway is the nephew of the late Harvey W. Scott, former editor of The Oregonian, and was very well ac quainted with Mr. Pittock, who he said took an interest in every de partment of the newspaper, so that little went on that he did not know about. Few Words Spoken. "He was a man of very few Vords and would make up bis mind after quiet, calm thought. He was very decided once he had made up his mind," said Mr. Duniway. The wit ness said he had not noticed "a par ticle of difference" in the mentality of Mr. Pittock the later years of his lite, saying- that the publisher's mind appeared "as clear and vigorous as ever." Mr. Duniway 'met Mr. Pittock not many days before his death in a den tist's office and joked with him. Mr. Pittopk was there to have some teeth removed in the hope that it would help his rheumatism and Mr. Duniway told him he felt sorry for him, if the rheumatism was not helped more than teeth-pulling had helped his 'blindness when done under doctor's orders. "I do hot believe Mr. Morden had any influence over Mr. Pittock, though I know Mr. Pittock reposed a good deal of confidence in Mr. Mor den." said Mr. Duniway. "Mr. Morden may have made plans on any matter, but never acted without the approval of Mr. Pittock." Excellent Grasp Displayed. An excellent grasp of civic and bus iness affairs was displayed by Mr. Pittock, said W. J. Hofmann, advertis ing manager of The Oregonian, who, as an officer in the Shrine, met his employer in fraternal as well as busi ness circles. He declared that Mr. Pittobk had a strong mentality, that he seemed to know what he was do ing, that his opinions were decided, and that he was not easily led by others. "Do yon think Mr. Morden exer cised any control over Mr. Pittock?" asked Attorney Carey. "I should say not," replied Mr. Hof mann. "Mr. Morden always referred matters to Mr. Pittock." "Do you know of any case in which Mr. Morden's views dominated Mr. Pittock's?" . "No." The only change Mr. Hofmann noted in the publisher during the last years of Mr. Pittock s life was that he became a bit hard of hearing, he testified. There was no cross-examination ex cept that the question was asked as to whether or not Mr. Hofmann was directly under Mr. Morden. The re ply was in the affirmative. David S. Stearns, who carried Ore- gonians 54 years ago, testified that Mr. Pittock was "very well balanced and one of the best business men Portland, a-very firm character, and one of the last men in the world to have been amenable to outside in fluences." Character "Moat Unique. "Never in the least could Mr. Pit tock have been controlled by associ ates," replied, A. f. Flegel, attorney who knew Mr. Pittock since 1898, in answer to a query. "It is inconceiv able to me that Mr, Morden or Mr, Price could have had much control over him," he continued. He said the publisher was a "most unique charac ter, who eald little and was the best listener I ever knew." No variation in habits or decay in mental powers was noticed in Mr. Tittock before bis death by Mrs. Helen Milburn. cashier of The Oregonjan since 1900. She said she had known Mr. Tittock very well and had been a witness of his will in 1912. She found her employer "a very Just man and always good to everyone." While very quiet, she believed he dominated bsolutely The Oregonian establish ment and was not susceptible to influence. Personal knowledge that Mr. Pit- ock was the directing force on The Oregonian was supplied by Conrad P. Olson, attorney and former judge of he supreme court. He testified to nterviewing Mr. Pittock in the fall f 194.8 as to the reason why he had ot beensupported by The Oregonian n his campaign for the supreme bench. As a result The Oregonian warmly supported him. Mr. Olson found Mr. Pittock a quiet man who was a good listener and had decided opinions, he said. He did not think the publisher was a man who might be influenced easily. Interest in Mills Keen. 'I should say not," was the reply of A. J. Lewthwaite. resident man ager of the Crown-Willamette Paper company, of which Mr. Pittock was vice-president and director, when asked if he thought the publisher could have, been influenced greatly by his associates. He said Mr. Pit- ock took a keen interest in the mills. knew what was being done at all times, depended on his own judgment and was of hrm, tenacious mind. No slackening of interest in affairs of The Oregonian in the last years of Mr. Pittock's life was ever noticed by James McCown, proofreader and em ploye of the newspaper since 1858 He gave his personal attention until the last and the only change which Mr. McCown noticed in his employer was more frequent attacks of rheu matism. While the witness said that he believed Mr. Pittock had reposed great confidence in Mr. Morden, he did not think that the publisher was under the influence of any person. As to Mr. Price. Mr. McCown re marked. "If he was here today. wouldn't know Mr. Price." Mr. Price was seated within 10 feet of the wit ness stand in direct line of vision of the witness. Jurist Gives Testimony. Do you think Mr. Piftock could have been easily influenced by de signing persons? was asked of G. W. Stapleton, circuit judge in department No. 4. who knew Mr. Pittock welt dur ing his lifetime. "My opinion of him is directly to the contrary, the jurist replied. Judge Stapleton further said that Mr. Pittock appeared a man of well- shaped ideas, sound mentality, re served and firm. It never occurred to Wilbur P. Jones, former vice-president of the Northwestern National bank, of which Mr. Pittock was president, that Mr. Pittock was under the influence of anyone or lapsing mentality during late years or nis lite, he testified. Mr. Bristol, who said that ho was "supposed to be a lawyer" as he had practiced since 1892, was the only witness during me morning session He had known, Mr. Pittock quite intimately sinco 1893, principally through Masonto connections. Mr. Pittock had held the 33d honorary degree in Masonry, the highes possible, and Mr. Bristol was a 32d degree Mason and potentate of the local shrine. There were frequent con ferences on fraternal matters and both men attended numerous conven tlons, fraternal and business, to gether. Trust Is Discussed. Though their conversations chiefly bordered, on lodge or general business matters. Mr. .Bristol said that occa sionally Mr. Pittock would discuss more private business matters. In the spring of 1912. Mr. Bristol recalled, Mr. Pittock had taken up with him the legal aspect of a trust which a testator might create by his will. It was not as an attorney, as Mr. Bristol was not employed by Mr. Pittock as counsel, but in the way of friendly advice, though the witness said he .had delved into several law books In an investigation of the ques tion. "I recall he wanted to know whether the American courts had the same ideas about perpetuity as the Eng lish," testified Mr. Bristol. "Some confidential matters seemed to be troubling him. This was in April, 1912. I can say, without violating any "con fidence, that something apparently had come up which made him afraid that people were trying to get away from him persons who he thought were necessary to help him run The Oregonian. t Matter Openly Stated. "He plainly discussed the matter. He wanted in some way or other to keep The Oregonian property intact after his death. He had a notion in his head for putting all the stock of The Oregonian Publishing company in some sort of a trust. That led to a further investigation, purely as a matter of friendship and not as an at torney. 'Well, suppose you look into that a little further,' he asked me and I did." The witness said that Mr. Pittock was not lik the habit of discussing his personal affairs being "very close- mouthed in most respects." There also was testimony concerning the effort of Mr. Bristol and other persons to bring about the sale of The Orego nian and Telegram. They fell through. because we couldn't dislodge Mr. Pit tock's determination to hang on to The Oregonian," said Mr. Bristol. Describe Mr. Pittock," requested Attorney C. H. Carey. Mr. Pittock Ik Described. He was a man of few words." re plied Mr. Bristol. "He was very posi tive in his likes and dislikes as to subjects and persons. He was a very kindly man. He was one who would consider all angles of a proposition and then make up his mind. His suc cess t-as due to hard- work, efficiency and responsibility. air. Pittock was of positive and firm temperament. He would not argue or discuss, but would listen to what you had to say and decide with out further discussion when you were through." Would you sav that he was at all piiarjie? 'No. he was a man of firm disposi tion. I know I tried to persuade him to ao tntngs that he never would oo Was he particularly amenable to external influences?' "No. sir." "Do you think designing persons couia get him to do things they wanted?" No, sir. I never knew a time when he was capable of being swayed greatly. - Did you notice any great differ ence in Mr. Pittock during the later years of his life?" "No." "Did he ever appear to you to be under the influence of any particular person ' No Influence Indicated. "I never saw any indications that he was Under such influence." "Did Mr. Price figure in the fiego tlations you handled for the sale of The Oregonian?" "No. Not to my knowledge, in any business transactions which I have had with Mr. Pittock did either Mr. Price or Mr. Morden figure." The witness said that Mr. Pittock appeared to him to be more at ease than had been customary in the lat ter part of 1916 and that the pub lisher spoke of his mind being more free. "Did Mr. Pittock say that he had just made his last will?" Mr. Bristol was asked. "He did not mention it, though he had talked of matters which might have entered into a will." "Was it Mr. Pittock's disposition to be secretive or candid?" "It was rather of a surprise to me and on rare occasions that he spoke of his personal business affairs. He would not talk of them once in twenty times I would see him." Cross-examination by Attorney Cot ton consisted of two questions. Mr. Pittock appeared to be wor' ied in 1912 about The Oregonian be cause he faced the loss of Mr. Piper and Mr. Morden?" Yes." Later he seemed relieved?" 'Yes." iUi MANDATE TO COME UP TODAY Mr. Bryan Takes Issue With President FRIENDLY AID IS URGED ittii'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiil r EXPENSE ACCOUNTS FILED Candidates in Recent Primaries Send ta -Statements.

The house foreign affairs committee will meet tomorrow to consider President Wil son's request that he be given author ity by congress to accept a mandate over Armenia. Announcement tonight by Chairman Porter that the committee had been called to take up the proposal imme diately and that Secretary Colby would be the first 'witness caused widespread comment among members who had believed earlier in the day that the whole mandate question would go over until after the conven tion recess. There was no intimation as to the reasons for Immediate consideration. With the short time remaining before the recess the general impression was that congress would not have an op portunity to pass on the question. Some democrats, outspoken in their opposition to the mandate, said they construed the call for the meeting to mean that the republicans had de cided at the last moment to act im mediately on tho president's request ana refuse to grant it. Republican Discus -Question. The question was discussed today by republicans at a number of infor mal conferences, and the opinion was expressed by many that in the event that congress failed to act and then adjourned until December, as some members have urged, the president might call a special session for its especial consideration. Chairman Porter, in a statement, said he had not had time to confer with all members of the committee. but that he regarded "tho proposi- lon or sending American soldiers to Armenia or any other foreign coun- ry for tho purpose of settllnir their political and economic quarrels as ut terly absurd." Chairman Scores) President. "If my views prevail with the com mittee," Mr. Porter said, "we shall give the president a mandate to fol- ow that portion of Washington's farewell address admonishing us to keep out of European entanglements. or I would gladly give him power' forcibly to intervene In Mexico anad stop the murder and robbery of Amer ican citizens which has been going on for over ten years. 'The word 'mandate' is misleading. In the past, the action suggested by the president would have been called forcible intervention, which is equiv alent to war. If the president will apply "watch ful watting' to Armenia and other foreign countries and forcible inter vention to distracted Mexico,- our im mediate neighbor, I could agree with him: but distance appears to lcned enchantment to the president's view." Bryan Takes Issue. William J. Bryan took flat issue today with President Wilson on the question of the mandate, declaring in statement that "any mandate la impossible." The United States, Mr. Bryan said, could do more toward making the world safe for democracy, "even for democracy in Armenia," by recogniz ing the Armenian republic and enter- ng the league of nations "as the friend of all little countries." 'Any mandate is impossible," Mr. Bryan's statement said without other preface. "The one proposed for Armenia If accepted would involve us in an enormous expenditure in a time when war taxation is still so grievous burden that congress has difficulty in finding the money necessary to do justice to the men who served in the world war. "It would Involve us in the politics of Europe and would compel us to deal with implacable race hatreds."
