Or., Nor. 8, JfSpecial.) The plaintiffs' Bide of the arabee will contest was concluded today. Tomorrow the defense will start taking testimony and expects to finish by Wednesday night when 4t will eubmit a formal motion for (dismissal of the case on the ground of lack of evidence to support the charge that undue Influence was brought to bear by. Anita Laurence ieither before or after Larabee'B di vorce from his first wife ajid hia sub-, cequent marrigae to her to cause Lar-.be-e to will -to her his $100,000 estate, putting off with five dollar bequests the children of the first wife, who .have started the action to annul the will. - Today's session was taken up with lengthy and at times tiresome cross examination. Both the first and sec ond wives were again on the stand and Benjamin R. Larabee,' one of the' plaintiffs, testified at length. He edmitted that his father during his lifetime had supplied him with a great .deal of money -t various times and liad given him several starts In bus iness. In 1912, he said his father had given him 14500 to start a wood and coal business In Spokane, j Detective Given Tetlmeny. w J. F. Morley, detective, tost'fied that he arrested Benjamin Larabee shortly after his father's death two ;years ago on the complaint of Mrs. Anita Larabee, who charged that the Jyoung man entered her ranch home at tBly and had ransacked all of her (papers and belongings, evidently seek-, ting his father's will, t The chief witness . today was Mrs. W. C. Hill of Los Angeles, mother I of Anita Larabee. . The line of ques tioning adopted by the plaintiffs' (counsel made it evident that the pur- pose was to show that Mrs. Hill was throughout a party to. If not the in- istigator of, her daughter's alleged plot to entrap the aged and ill Lara bee and to wreck his home. " Mrs. j Hill was formerly Mrs. Rhodes of (Seattle. She was divorced in 1912. Mrs. Hill Getn Grilling-. Under a grilling followed by long t cross-examination by the defense, Mrs. Hill maintained that from the I beginning of her daughter's acquaint ance with Mr. Larabee in 1908 she jhad a feeling of antipathy for the i man and tried to discourage his at tentions to Anita. She said she did J not suspect anything criminal. how Sever, even when Larabee returned from New York and told her that j "the girls had found a baby on their doorstep." This was in October, 1911, , and Larabee was said to have sought her out at the Hotel Washington in I Seattle for the interview. By the J girls he was said to have meant Miss j Laurence and his cousin by marriage, ( Carrie Larabee. who traveled with , Mi.s Laurence in Europe for a year ""while the latter was studying vocal ;--iusie in Paris and London. On their "eturn. the girls maintained a studio i New York and Miss Larabee con vT.ued her studies, with a view to oing on the operatic stage. Marriage Certificate Shown. Two months after the conversation rith Larabee Miss Laurence arrived a Seattle with the baby. She told er mother it was the child of an Englishman named Laurence, to 7hom she had been married in New fork and who went with her to Paris, vhere he died. She showed a mar Mage certificate supporting the state lent. Anita said the baby was born Tovember 13, 1911, a month later han the date given by Larabee for inding the child on the doorstep. "Didn't this create any suspicion n your mind about Larabee?" de manded Judge Moore, chief counsel .'or the plaintiffs. "No it did not," said Mrs. Hill. "You mean to say that it never ceurrred to you that Larabee, who ld you a few weeks before that our daughter had a baby, must have ad some intimate knowledge of the oming of the child and was prepar lg you for the exposure?" asked ounfiel. "No it never occurred to me," de clared the witness. Testimony Is .Attacked. i Counsel pounced upon this part of he testimony and elaborated their uestioning. They intended to show nd will argue that such lack of notherly suspicion was unnatural nd should be regarded as proof that he mother was fully in the con .idence of her daughter, knew of her ndiscretions with Larabee and ibetted her in them as a means to entrap him. On the stand this morning, Anita 'jaurence again bared fully the his tory of her relations with Larabee from the time when a girl of 20 years she met him at her aunt's home in Alaska. It was at his suggestion that his cousin, Carrie Larabee, a divorced woman, went with her on the eastern trip as a chaperon. It was before she left for Europe in 1911, she said. after a wine party in New York that Larabee f-rst became Intimate with her. The re.etionship continued over a period of weeks, she said, but when she left for Paris late in the fall she was not conscious of coming maternity, she 6aid. . When she dis covered her condition, she wrote Larabee, according to the testimony. He answered, advising her to return. "I will marry you the day you set foot on American soil," she declared he said. She came back and Larabee met her In New York, but told her HOSPITAL GETS $15,500 County Appropriates Sum to Finish Isolation Building. . Payment by the county of $15,500 for the completion of the isolation hospital, built by the city at Kelly Butte, was authorized yesterday by County Commissioner Muck and Hol man. Chairman Hoyt declined to vote because of dissatisfaction with pro ceedings in the matter. County pa tients are to be cared for on the same basis as those from the city. H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult nomah county fair, asked that the commissioners make provision in the 1921 budget for taking over the fair and operating it as a county institu tion. He explained that one-eightb of a mill on the assessed valuation would provide sufficient funds. Little encouragement was given Mr. Lewis by the board, but a request that the matter be put in writing was made. Joseph C Foeschel, who ' was seriously injured in preventing a Southern Pacific train from being wrecked on a bridge south of Port lands will receive 525 monthly for three months. This will give time for his case to be brought before the Carnegie commission. STAMP CdSPICY CASE GOES TO JURY Fate of Accused Men May Be Known Today.

No immediate relief for northwest lumber shippers through revision in freight tariffs is expected, according to reports from the West Coast Lum bermen's association, which met last week in Seattle. Lumbermen are still hopeful that railroads will adjust rate to place Oregon and Washing ten shippers on equal footing with the south in eastern markets, but this hopefulness in some cases is char aclerized as "lumbermen's optimism,' as yet unfounded so far aa definite assurance is concerned. Discussion of hours and wages at the Seattle meeting brought forth strong indorsement of the eight-hour day by all concerned. McMinvIlIe Club to Meet, G.

M0-J1. Adv. The fate of Robert La Salle, former Inspector of the Portland police de partment; Angelo Rossi, Dave Stein and William Brenner, local mer chants; W. E. Smith, watchmaker, and Fred Peterson, ex-convict, who is now doing a term of1 one year in the Multnomah county jail, all of whom are charged with conspiracy la trafficking in altered United States war savings stamps, rested with a Jury in the federal district court last night. There was no Indication that the iz men had reached any decision and they probably will make their first report to Judge Wolverton at 10 A. al. today. In any event, the Jury would return a sealed verdict, as this was agreed upon by counsel before the urors retired at 6:1a last night. The six defendants, if found guilty. may be sentenced to two years' im prisonment oc fined $10,000 each or both. The trial, which has occupied 11 days, has been one of the hardest- fought in the history of the local courts. The mass of evidence intro- ducecU the many sensational angles to the case embracing an operative of the detective department of the local police, the action of the government in taking the Investigation out of the hands of the secret service, with the ensuing resignation of two secret service men under rather strange circumstances, a scathing secret re port of the federal grand jury, only a few sections of which have Kaked out; charges of "pianted ev'dence" and immunity promises, have kept up keen Interest in the case. Thorough Clean-up Planned. According to the federal operative and the United States attorney s o fice, this case s intended to open thorough clean-up of activities of alleged ring dealing in stolen govern ment securities In this section of the country, often making honest men their dupes .a the disposal of the paper. In the federal officials' estl mation, it is this clique that has made it possible for robjoers to break into any banks in this state in the last few years, always finding ready sale for the product of their robberies, and few of the government stamps and liberty bonds have been traced. -The amount lost by these robberies runs into many thousands of dollars, and the government is determined to run down the criminals. Yesterday three of the attorneys for the defense had their innings and the prosecution made its final sum ming up before the jury was instruct ed by Judge Wolverton. The scope of the instructions given by the court was broad on account of the va quantity of evidence introduced and the many cross-currents of apparent responsibility. One of the attorneys made an effort to have the judge read to the jury a set of supplemental in structions that had been prepared dealing with Rossi's connection with the case, but this was refused. Police Action Recalled. Reference to the police connection with the case came up again when John Veatch, attorney for the gov ernment, declared in his final argu ment and in reply to the defense ar gument made by Frank Lonergan, La Salle's attorney, that "when the police here in Portland let stolen property alone there will be fewer robberies." , Lonergan in his closing defense to the jury made a spirited defense of the activities of the Port land police. Lonergan denied that his client had run to cover when it was found that the stamps - were questionable and analyzed his activities in an effort to prove that they were but natural and those of an honest man. Each of the attorneys arguing yes terday made lively fights for their clients. D. Soils Cohen, for Stein, ar gued that all of Stein's connections with the sales had been carried on in the open and by means of checks and that he did not try to cover up any of his transactions. "Plant" Openly Charged. Paul Long appeared for .Fred Pe terson. Who is doing a year in the county jail for having some of the altered stamps in his possession. Ac cording to Long, Peterson did not know : that , the stamps were in his room 1 at the time at was searched and they must have been "planted" there. Long asserted that Joseph Walters and V. illiam Glover, the fed eral secret service operatives who later resigned, knew six hours before the stamps were found in Peterson's room of their whereabouts. Direct charge of a "plant" was made dur ing the argument in Peterson s de fense, and Rossi was mentioned also as one of the men concerned in the deal to foist responsibility on Peter-i son. Rossi was the defendant who was promised immunity by Glover and 'Walters and who the United States attorneys charge was pledged to assist the secret Bervice la run ning to earth the actual robbers of the banks. In the summary of evidence before the Jury went out it was shown that is oven acts to sustain the indict ment were c-arged, aH of them, said to have been with the idea of de frauding the United States govern ment.

After reducing every estimate to what seemed to be the limit, and elim inating some, items in the 1921 esti mates in their entirety, the city coun cil yesterday found itself in the dilemma of still having $60,000 to cut out of the estimates before the city would be on a safe financial basis. Several hours of effort failed to show where the $60,000 reduction could be made, and finally the com missioners decided to carry their esti mates home with them and make a study of financial affairs, with a view to bringing in recommendations for further reductions this morning. Yesterday the work of reducing estimates of the park bureau took place. Proposed improvement of Ter williger boulevard at an estimated cost of $30,000 was the first tackled. this improvement being laid aside for tne time. " Band Coaeerts Must Go. Band concerts in the parks next summer, estimated at $10,000, must go, according to the edict of the council. Some hope for the improvement and-j development of newly acquired play grounds can be found In the decision of the council to levy three-tenths of a mill of the special four-tenths of a milly levy authorized by voters sev ral years ago. The levy for the park and play ground fund, if Imposed in full, would raise approximately . $125,000, but the members of the council decided to levy only two-thirds of the full amount, thus providing about $92,006 ror use in purchasing new equip ment for playgrounds.

New Fire Hose Needed. Need of new hose in the fire de partment was explained by Commis sioner Bigelow, who said that $20,000 couia do used, but that $15,000 or $10,000 probably would carry the de partment through another year.

The present budget session without a doubt carries away all honors for reductions, for every municipal de partment has cut estimates so as to impair service to some extent, and has also accepted a general cut of 10 per cent in supplies and materials, which will curtail this service unless prices of supplies and materials should drop 10 per cent or more within the com ing 12 months.
