Kerby and Rallife Retell Stories of
Alleged Cruelties in Uma
tilla County Jail.
rENDLKTOX, Or.. Oct. 4. (Spe
cial.) Further exposur of alleged
third degree methoas used in obtain
ing confessions from the five men in
dicted for the murder of Sheriff Til
Taylor, was made today when Judse
G. W. Thelps presiding at the trial
of Klvie D. Kerby and John Rathie,
ruled that evidence submitted by the
defense to prove that the confessions
of the five men were secured follow
ing intimidation and brutal treat
ment in the jail, should be allowed in
court in the hearing of the trial jury.
Kerby aand Rathie. the defendants,
retold their stories of alleged cruel
ties, telling of blows, curses and the
use of ammonia on their faces. This
was also the testimony of Stoop and
Henderson, Just sentenced to life im
prisoninent.for the murder of Sheriff
Taylor. Statements from the witness
Hand bv J. N. Scott, prominent farm
er of this county and a cousin of the
deceased sheriff. Ben F. Young, spe
cial deputy sheriff under Sheriff Til
Taylor before hia death, and Dr. I. U.
Temple, practicing physician of this
rity, who were in the jail the night
of the third degree investigation also
testified to the alleged rough treat
ment and use of ammonia on the
prisoners.
Resuming the case for the state
this morning. Attorney-General
Brown called J. A. Schmidt, clerk of
Ihe grand jury which indicted the
five on a first-degree murder charge, .
to prove that the defendants had
confessed to a plot to break jail and
shoot their way out if necessary, the
witness testifying that Rathie had
feaid in the presence of the grand
jury that the plan "suited him."
"Witnesses also stated that Kerby had
paid before the grand jury that a
conspiracy had been formed.
Vitnrnr Ankrd Gun'a Identity.
The state rested its case after call
ing Sheriff W. R. Taylor to identify
a gun one of the defendants had hid
den in the mountains: Guy Wyrick to
identify the gun of the deceased
sheriff, which was taken from him
after the shooting, and Laughlin. who
headed the posse which captured
Kerby and Bancroft, to show that
they resisted arrest.
immediately the defense moved the
court to bring instruction of non
suit for the reason that the state had
failed to show sufficient evidence for
the jury, failed to bring evidence to
substantiate the indictment, failed
to show conspiracy on the part of
the defendants, and failed to produce
direct testimony other than that pre
sented by Kmmett Bancroft, already
sentenced to die for the murder of the
sheriff.
Judge Phelps denied the-motion as
he did later in the trial, when, after
all the evidence was presented to the
jury. Attorney Charles Bolin proposed
the motion again.
The last witness to be called by the
defense was Mrs. Kerby. mother of
the defendant, who testified that her
son was a married man with one
young child. '
Rebuttal Wltururn Cnllrd.
Rebuttal witnesses were called byj
tne prosecution in the persons of
Colonel J. H. Raley, who was with the
party which brought back Kerby and
Bancroft from La Grande after their
capture; R. V. Fletcher and J. A.
Schmidt, both of the grand jury: S. P.
Hutchinson and Sheriff W. R. Taylor,
both of whom testified that District
Attorney R. I. Keator did not intimi
date the defendants before they were
taken into the grand jury; Archie
Leonard, a Portland police inspector,
who took shorthand notes of the first
confessions, and District Attorney
Keator.
Rigorous cross-examination by At
torney Bolin for the defense brought
out that although the defendants had
been warned that their statements
would be used against them at the
trial, they had never been informed
of their right to counsel and that
they never had any legal assistance
before brought to trial.
Opening arguments for prosecution
and defense will be presented tonight
and the cae will close tomorrow
with arguments by both state and
defense.
The courtroom has been packed
during the trial, today every avail
able seat and all standing room in
the courtroom was filled long before
court opened and a thiong waited In
the hall outside for an opportunity
to gain admittance.

Petition to Win Release From Jail
Rejected by Washington Court.

cial.) The supreme court today de-
nled the petition of Bernard Parent
for a writ of habeas corpus to obtain
release from the Spokane county jail
where he is serving a four-months'
sentence for contempt or court. Par
ent was committed by Judge Tl. M.
Webster for a violation of an injunc
tion restraining defendant and others
from affiliating with the I. W. W. or
other similar anarchistic organiza
tions. The supreme court holds that in
habeas corpus proceedings it is pre
cluded by statute from inquiring into
ine legality of the imprisonment be
yond the regularity of the commit,
ment and the Judgment when ren
dered by a court of competent juris
diction and that the defendant's reme
dy was by appeal or writ of review
from the original order of injunction.
The court also affirms a decision
by Judge John M. Wilson of the
Thurston county superior court, sus
taining an order of the public service
commission directing the Tacrnna
Eastern Railroad company to refund
to James A. Belcher, as assignee of
the Tidewater Lumber company, the
sum of $11,173 excess freight charges
on shipments'of logs.

of the general industrial situation in
America was expressed by Thomas E.

commodities and said the process of
readjustment was "in full motion."

ties committee was read' by Charles
W. Williams of Philadelphia, in ther
absence of Thomas W. Lamont, chair
man. It said in part:
"There have been many American
purchases of internal municipal and
government loans of various foreign
countries. It would seem advisable, in
connection with such purchases in this
country, to draw the attention of the
Investment Bankers' association to
the necessity of taking some steps
looking toward the protection of thi
American investment public, both
through the dissemination of more
knowledge of the nature and intrinsic
merit of some of these securities as
well as the establishment of a safe
guard against the issuance of forged
or fraudulent securities."

DREAM IS COMING TRUE
Daughter of "Wanderer Arrives In
Seattle From Alaska on Way
to .New York to Study.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. 4. (Special.)
This is the story of a little girl who
believes in fairies and of a mother
who is a dreamer of dreams. It is a
story of genius rising out of the ashes
of a man's wrecked career and finding
reincarnation in the life of a child.
It is the story of a submerged and
voiceless race rendered articulate
through the fire of an artless passion.
Twenty years ago a young girl, an
emigrant out of Bohemia, passed
through the Ellis-island gateway into
America. Product of a land which.
during ten centuries of tears, has not
forgotten how to laugh, she carried in
her. heart the pent dreams of all her
hopeless past and the glad anticipa
tion of an emancipated future.
In the Bohemian colony of Detroit
not the false Bohemian colony of long
haired men and short-haired women
but the "little Bohemia'' that seeks its
vision of freedom through hard and
unremitting toil she met and married
W. M. Bazant, a man of her own raw.
' Child Begins to Flay Violin.
"Wilma Bazant, the little girl who
believes in fairies, is the product of
this union.
Bazant, mechanic, in the pursuit of
his trade, went from city to -city, in
the middle invest, and five years ago
passed through Seattle to Alaska. The
family settled in' Juneau, and it was
here that the mother placed a violin
in the child's hands.
Wilma was placed under the tutel
age of a violinist named Sumpf. She
studied under him for eight months,
and the exigencies of Bazant's trade
made it necessary for the family to
move on to Seward. For almost four
years the child went -without train
ing, but during this time she continued
to play; sometimes by note, sometimes
just little twittering things that
seemed a part of her alone. Hours
at a time she played, weaving with
the notes the fabric of all her child
ish joys and longings.
Girl Leaves for Xfw York.
One evening three, months ago a
roughly clad man. passing the house,
heard the child's music, and went in.
He took the violin from her hands.
drew the bow across the strings with
unaccustomed fingers, and said: "I
will teach you to play."
He did so. This was three months
ago. The other day he said "I can
teach you no more.' You must go to
New York, to Leopold Auer.'.' And
last night 11-year-old Wilma Bazant
with her mother left Seattle for New
York. ,
"Peter Stark taught her the wrist
movement, but it was her nature to
play." said Mrs. Bazant just before
boarding the train which will take
her and the child to Leopold Auer.
Girl Entertains Passengers.
Stark Is working with pick and
shovel on government construction
out of Seward. And if the meager
gleanings of Mrs. Bazant in regard to
his history, gained through several
months of acquaintance, are actual
facts, he at one time was the director
of his own orchestra in Chicago and
appeared in concert on the same stage
with Melba.
Bazant now owns a-machine shop.
Instead of reinvesting his earnings in
his business, he decided to put his
uncertain surplus into the necessary
training for his daughter. Mrs. Ba
zant and Wilma sailed on the steam
ship Alaska, which arrived In Seattle
Saturday night.
The trip down was typical of the
season, passengers kept indoors by
the weather. The quest for relief
from boredom during several days in
a stuffy cebin brought attention to
the violin case which is never very
far from Wilma. After repeated re
quests she played. Her accompanist
was a millionaire New Yorker re
turning from a hunting expedition.
Her audience was a composite of the
vigorous civilization of Alaska and
the wealth and education of the east
ern tourist.
She played the intricate composi
tions of Massenet, the arias of Verdi,
the lilting notes of Dvorak, the calm,
triumphant measures of Beethoven.
When the Alaska docked in Seattle
Saturday, night it bore a happy little
girl and a mother whose eyes were
dimmed with tears of pride. For the
millionaire sportsman who played
Wilma's accompaniments had prom
ised that the child. shall study under
Leopold Auer. .

CHARGES OF PROFITEERING

Democratic Candidate's Chances
"Qone, Says A. Holtz of Cleve
land, Ex-Portlander.
"Ohio will go for Harding by a
60.000 to 75,000 majority," said A.
Holtz of Cleveland, O., who arrived
In Portland yesterday. Mr. Holtz
was the original advertising manager
in Portland, starting that line here
in 1899, when he was with the Meier
& Frank company. For the past
seven years, since leaving Portland.
Mr., Holtz has. been in Cleveland, but
is on-the road more or less, and this
has given him an exceptional oppor
tunity to gauge political sentiment.
"There is now a decided swing to
Harding.' continued Mr. Holtz. "Up
to about three weeks ago Governor
Cox had a pretty fair show of carry
ing Ohio, but his chances have dis
appeared and his defeat in his home
state is a foregone conclusion. The
head of the house with which I am
associated told me before I started
or Portland that he has S10.000 to
bet that Harding carrjes Ohio and for
me to pick up any bets for him on
that basis that I could find.
"Governor Cox is a good, mixer and
has been friendly with the wet and
sporting interests. For a while it
looked as if he might carry the
state. However, Cox's conduct on the
stump and the tenor of his speeches
have cost him votes. Substantial
business men. believe Harding is more
dignified and a better man to head
the government. At first both Cox
and Harding were considered satis
factory to business, but Governor Cox
has been shouting 'profiteering' until
legitimate business, seeking legiti
mate profit, is becoming tired.
"Whatever prospect Cox had of
winning is gone. He certainly can
not carry Ohio and he will not carry
New York. In short, wherever I have
traveled of late the talk generally
has been for Harding."

Volney Richmond, Who ' Seldom
Misses in Estimating- Output
of Mines, Gives Figures.
BT THOMAS B. DRAYTON. -SEWARD.
Alaska,. Sept. 17. (Spe
cial.) Volney Richmond, whose pre
liminary estimates on Alaskan gold
production have for years been almost
uncanny in their accuracy, declares
that interior Alaska will yield 2.
985.000 during the present season
despite unprecedented low .and falling
price of gold, and the high and ad
vancing price of machinery and sup
plies. According to his forecast the
Dawson mining district will produce
about $1,500,000 of the Alaskan out
put. About $1,600,000 will come from
the Tanana' valley placer mining dis
trict. Gold production, almost at a
complete standstill in Alaska, has
been further curtailed in practically
every operating interior camp by lack
of rainfall, creating a shortage of wa
ter which delayed or -largely prevent
ed sluicing- operations. Indeed, some
camps have been put out of business
for the season on this account- Tolo
vana had only. 11 sluicing days dur
ing the entire season. Dumps taken
out last fall and winter in that dis
trict are still partly unwashed.
Dredges Betas; Operated.
. Dredges are operating in the Idit
arod, Fairbanks and Tacotna districts
but the big dredge in the Circle, dis
trict has been shut down all season.
The Bagley scraper is being used con
slaerably in the Fairbanks district,
and there is much hydraulicking on
the lower river camps. In the Kn
tiehna two big hydraulic plants are
being Installed on a gamble that pres
ent conditions cannot poselbly con
tinue. The ML McKlnley Gold Plac
