WASHINGTON, D. C. April 6. For
the third time within a year the
house was thrown into an uproar
today with Representative Blanton,
democrat, Texas, the object of at
tack. In a fiery ten-minute speech, Rep
resentative Garner, dean of the Texas
delegation, declared that Mr. Blanton
was "as common a liar as ever spoke
a word of English in this country."
Mr. Blanton, however, was not there
to hear the characterization, for he
left the chamber at the outset of the
verbal attack, after shouting- that he
would "hold the gentleman personally
responsible to me, if he calls me a
liar."
Standing six feet away, Mr. Garner
held up his hand during the con
fusion, asking for order and request
ing Mr. Blanton not to leave. But
responding to- a crash of the speaker's
gavel, sergeants-at-arms had rushed
In to prevent what appeared to be
an open. break, when Representative
Sumners, also of Texas, sitting In
the front row. started toward Mr.
Blanton shouting, "You know you
are a liar." i
Kenspaper Report Denounced.
The trouble started while Mr. Blan
ton, in denouncing a newspaper re
port of a speech he had made re
cently in Texas, declared that mem
bers could not defend "these measly
items of petty graft," referring to
mileage and the funds allotted at
each session to members for sta
tionery and supplies.
Mr. Blanton reiterated what he had
said in the house in January, when,
armed with a bag of articles from
the stationery store, he produced a
whisky flask. Mr. Garner, objecting
to this line of argument, insisted that
the impression Mr. Blanton intended
to convey was that members got these
things at taxpayers' expense.
Starting out with the statement
that the world is full of "all kinds
of liars, the artistic liar, the in
artistic liar and the common, ordi
nary liar," Garner, his face flushed,
declared the man he had in mind
"would destroy his own family in
order to accumulate wealth or to
place himself forward from a political
standpoint," and then speaking, as
he said for the Texas delegation, he
shouted that "we hang our head
in shame and humiliation when
Blanton of Texas is referred to as
our colleague."
Blanton Called Liability.
He spoke, too, he added, for the
entire democratic party when he de
clared that "we look upon Mm as
a liability and a distinct injury to
our party."
"If I could only suspend the rules
of the house," Mr. Garner said, "I
would say what is in your hearts,
that if the rules did not prevent
would say what 430 members be
lieve at this moment that Thomas I
r1ulu" "i i-exas is a disgrace td
the house of representatives and
ought to be kicked out."
After Representative Mondell ot
Wyoming, the republican leader, had
made a general reply to Blantons
charges as to "petty graft" with the
declaration that he could count on
one finger of one hand the
of house members who "would stoop
to graft or otherwise," the excite
ment subsided.
NEW YORK, April 6. Miss Olivia
M. P. Stone, who, August 5. 1921, shot
and killed Ellis G. Kinkead, ex-corporation
counsel of Cincinnati, to
night was acquitted of murder by a
jury in the Brooklyn supreme court. '
Hundreds of men and women who
had gathered outside the courtroom
cheered repeatedly when the verdict
was announced, while those in . the
crowded courtroom applauded.
The defendant, in contrast to her
highly nervous condition throughout
the trial, received the verdict calmly.
"Miss Stone." JllKtica Asninall airi
"twelve reputable citizens have said j ND EXES
jvu hid nut guilty unuer toe law. x
therefore discharge you and you are
now a free woman."
Miss Stone was led to an ante
room by her attorney and two
matrons of the Raymond-street jail.
She looked ten years younger than
she did when she appeared on the
witness stand a few days before.
Women spectators in the courtroom
showered her with flowers.
"I'm the happiest woman in the
world," she said. "I'm a free woman
now. I can go where I please. At
last the suspense is over."
The case went to the jury just be
fore noon.
As Supreme Court Justice Aspinall
read his charge Miss Stone wept and
trembled nervously.
The justice enumerated the six ver
dicts the jury might return not
guilty by reason of insanity, guilty of
first-degree murder, guilty of sec
ond-degree murder, guilty of first-de
gree manslaughter, guilty of second-
degree manslaughter, or not guilty.
He devoted particular attention to
the defense of temporary insanity set
up by Miss Stone's counsel, explaining
to the jury that since some evidence
had been introduced tending to show
Miss Stone's reason was defective at
the time of the slaying, it was up to
the prosecution to show that she had
"no disease of the mind."
He exhorted the jurors to "elimi
nate sympathy and prejudice" from
their minds, explaining at the same
time that they must find beyond "a
reasonable doubt that Miss Stone was
guilty of the crime before they could
convict her."
After the jurors had deliberated
four hours they sent a request to
Justice Aspinall that expert testimony
as to Miss Stone's mental condition,
gi.cn by,. Dr. Sylvester R. Lahy for
the state and Dr. Annette M. Ralston
for the defense, be read to them.
Justice Aspinall had the jury con
ducted to the courtroom and the tes
timony was read.

TRAIN WRECKER AT WORK
Derailing of Logging Engine and
Cars Narrowly Averted.
ASTORIA. Or., April 6. (Special.)
A fortunate discovery yesterday
prevented what might have been a
disastrous accident on the Lewis &
Clark railroad. Fishplates had been
e number placed on top of one of the rails and
fastened with a chain, apparently
with the intent of wrecking a train.
One of the employers running over
the line on a speeder found the ob
struction and removed it just before
the .arrival of a train with several
carloads of logs.
The obstruction had been placed on
a grade and at a curve where it
would have been practically impos
sible to have stopped the train in
time to avoid a wreck. There have
been some minor labor troubles at
one of the logging camps in that dis
trict during the past few days.

WASHINGTON, D. C, April 6.
(Special.) The New England munici
pal elections are observed by repub
lican leaders with some apprehen
sion. They are looked upon as In
dexes, throwing light upon two sets
of future events.
In the first placel they ars taken
into account for what light they may
throw upon the political state of the
country generally, and in the second
place they are taken into account
for such light as they may throw
upon the question of whether demo
cratic or republican senators will be
elected in those New England states
which have senatorial contests this
year. These states are Connecticut,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont
and Maine.
Hardly anybody doubts that Maine
and Vermont will return republican
senators. Massachusetts is more
doubtful, while Rhode Island " and
Connecticut may at all times as
readily go one way as the other.
Republicans) Want McLean.
The present senator from Con
necticut, McLean, is not in the lime
light as mi h as some others, but is
one of the most dependable republican
senators and is chairman of the very
important committee on banking and
currency. It Mr. McLean wants the
republican nomination - for the sen
atorship again, he can have it. He
is believed not to care greatly for
it, but is under pressure from the
republican leaders both in his state
and In the nation to accept the nom
ination. The republicans want him
"to run again because they believe he
would be their strongest candidate.
It has always been a Connecticut
tradition to keep its senators at Wash
ington for long periods. This fact
alone would make Senator McLean
the best republican candidate. It
would only be in the event of Mr.
McLean's definitely refusing to run
that anybody else would be likely
to contest the nomination with him.
As to the democratic nomination,
Search Is Begun for Girls Who

Room and Fled.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Cal.
April 6.: Madame Galli-Curci, opera
singer, was robbed here today of
jewels and valuables which she said
were worth $43,000 when two girls
fled with a jewel case wh.ich had been
left by the singer's maid in a cafe
rest room. The singer and her party
had stopped at San Juan Capistrano
for lunch.
The singer, her husband. Homer
Samuels, and the maid departed at
once for Los Angeles to aid In the
search for the girls.
San Juan Capistrano is a midway
point for automobile parties between
San Diego and Los Angeles. The
traffic is almost entirely by automo
bile and frequently arriving and de
parting stages, as well as scores of
private cars, made it difficult to de
termine which way or by what con
veyance the girls fled after commit
ting the robbery.
Mr. Samuels telephoned a complete
description of the lost jewels to the
sheriffs office at Santa Ana and also
notified the officers at San Diego
and Los Arigeles. These three coun
ties immediately sent out patrols on
all roafis and set watches on trains.
along the coast routes.
According to Mr. Samuels, he, Ma
dame Galli-Curci and the latter's maid.
Mrs. Mae Hendrickson, were travel
ing by motor between Los Angeles
and San Diego and stopped here or
lunch. . While
were entrusted to the maid. She
stepped into a rest room in a cafe
here, laid the jewl case down for an
instant and then, realizing what she
had done, returned to get it, but it
was gone.
Mrs. Hendrickson said there were
two young women in the rest room.
both blondes, one tall and wearing a
light coat. She had no other descrip
tlon of them. The jewels were In a
small blue leather case about the size
of a portable typewriter. They in
cluded the following items:
One 17-carat diamond on a plati
num chain.
One pair of diamond earrings, 2
carat diamond in each drop.
One diamond pendant, set in plati
num. One pendant containing 10 large
diamonds set in a row of sapphires.
One pair of large ornaments, eacb
containing rows.of diamonds set In
onyx (about 100 small stones in all).
One solitaire diamond ring.
Two small diamond rings.
One emerald necklace with gold
chain.
One pair of emerald earrings to

One very large carved single emer- '

Yesterday s radio concert was en
joyed by more than 200 pupils and
teachers of the Franklin high school
who were attending the' regular
meeting of the Science club. This
was reported yesterday afternoon
after the conclusion of the perform
ance. A radio receiving set had been
installed by members of the Radio
club of the school and an aerial
rigged up on the roof an hour or
two before the concert began. The
Oregonian's radio music came in
clearly and well toned, said pupils
who attended the meeting.
The franklin high school outfit
was a three-coil regenerative set
with one vacuum detector and a
three-stage amplifier. A loud speak
ing horn, attached to a Baldwin phone
brought in The Oregonian's music
loud enough to be heard in every
part of the room, said the pupils.
J. R. Bymhold, faculty adviser of
the Radio club, supervised the instal
lation of the set. W. W. Rowdell, in
structor in science, gave a short talk

TACO.MA, Wash., April 6. (Spe
cial.) Under a fire of cross-examina
tion today George Elwood stood stead
fast by his statement that he saw
Fred E. Stewart in Hammet, Cal., in
March, 1921, after the latter was
supposed to have committed suicide
In the Columbia river.
Elwood related again how in
Hammet he had met a man he be
lieves to. have been the missing Kelso
banker, and how he had received a
curt rebuff.
Elwood, when working as a barber,
often shaved Stewart, he said. After
ward he became a traveling sales
man for a barber supply house and
was engaged in this work when he
said he encountered Stewart at
Hammet. At that time he had not
heard of Stewart's reported death or
of the failure ?f the Kelso bank, he
said.
Judge Questions Witness.
Federal Judge Cushman, who Is
hearing Mrs. Maude E. Stewart's case
against the Prudential and Mutual
life insurance companies, took a hand
in the examination. Mrs. Stewart is
suing for $43,000, the amount of two
policies held by her husband.
"When did you hear that Mr.
Stewart was dead?" asked the court.
"When i reached Roseburg," El
wood replied.
"And you made no effort to reach
Mrs. Stewart or to fell her of having
met her husband?" questioned the
court.
"I did not," replied the witness.
Captain John Reed, owner' of the
ferryboat upon which Stewart rode
on the night he disappeared, was tne
sensational witness of today's hearing.
"I told Mrs. Stewart that. I would
help her unless something came into
my mind to change it, and that some
thing came," said Captain Reed.
Six Men Seen Leaving Kerry.
I did see six men come off the
Queen on the night of March 17. One
of those men might have been Stew
art."
Direct testimony that six pas
sengers debarked from the ferryboat
Queen at Kalama the night that Fred
E. Stewart disappeared, thus account
ing for every one on board, including
Stewart, was the sensational testi
mony brought out by the defense.
Captain Reed was the witness who
fired the bombshell so carefully pre
pared by the defense. At the con
clusion of his direct testimony, Cap
tain Reed underwent a fiery cross
examination conducted by Maurice E.
Langhorne. During the questioning
sensation piled on sensation and fre
quent clashes occurred between the
witness and th attorney.
Captain Reed testified that ho
knew Stewart slightly, and that the
man he thought was Stewart disap
peared in the darkness toward an
automobile parked about 300 feet from
the dock.
Startling: Incidents Revealed.
Captain Reed also testified that it
would have been possible for a man
to hang on the outside. of the boat
end afterward climb in the cabin win
dows and across another boat to the
wharf without being seen by tns
other passengers or members of the
crew.
Following closely on the original
sensation in his direct tetsimony. Cap
tain Reed's cross examination brought
out startling incidents. That he had
believed from the start that Stewart
was not dead, that he had kept this
a secret for a year and had searched
the river for 17 days afterwards for
Stewart's body in spite of his belief
that he feared an attempt on his life
by Mrs. Stewart and finally emphatic
dtnials of statements attributed o
him by other witnesses were the
salient features of his testimony un
der Langhorne's grilling.
"I never talked with Mrs. Stewart
when anyone else was present," Cap
tain Reed exclaimed, when asked
about conversations he had had with
the missing man's wife. "I am on to
the game," he shouted, when asked
why he refused to meet her In the
presence of witnesses. "I didn't want
any listeners. Mrs. Stewart was try
ing to snare me."
Didn't you tell her you were on
i tier side and would help her at the
trial?" asked Mr. iangnorne.
"I toid her I would help her if
nothing came into my mind to change
ic." retorted the witness. ...
"And did you change your mind?"
persisted Mr. Langhorne.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"When I saw the poor people who
had lost their money in the bank and
all the . suffering that it caused.

Watchers With Glasses Declare
That Cleft Seems to Grow
- With Rapidity.
HOOD RIVER, Or., April 6. (Spe
cial.) Local residents late today ob
served an enormous cleft on the west
side of Mount Adams' peak. Plainly
visible to the naked eye the crevice,
according to those who watched it
with glasses, seemed to grow hourly,
and the opinion of the watchers was
that an enormous chunk of the moun
tain's top was ready to crash down In
an avalanche. Observations were
continued until about sunset when
cloud formations veiled the mountain
top.
Last spring one of the largest ava
lanches ever reported on the moun
tain left a huge scar several miles
wide and five miles long on the
northwest side of Mount Adams. Local
mountaineers at the time advanced
the theory that it was caused by
flow of hot mud. A party of Chicago
university geologists who scaled the
mountain in August reported that it
was' nothing more than an avalanche
of glacial ice and enow, which
brought down with It an accumula
tion of mud. '

The motion proposing a six-day

has been a live one for some time, and
the students have unitedly opposed
Saturday classes. Departments which

Saturday classes to relieve congestion
and it is thought that the situation is
