& THE - SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, MAT 26, 190f. BRIEF TILED AT LAST STOAKZELt MURDER CASE BEADY for? supreme COURT. 'Allegation. "Thai SUtet VoxursJSsja;-Ia - Innocent and Wni Convicted . on General Principles. The reply brief in the case of the State of Oregon against Frank E. McDaniel has .been filed in the Supreme Court by Henry St Rayner, attorney for the defense, and the case la now ready for argument be fore that tribunal. The brief of the pros ecution -was filed several -weeks ago by .District Attorney Chamberlain and Gilt xer &. Sewall, attorneys, and consists of a printed book of 156..pases. Mr. St. Ray- ner, after covering the legal questions involved very fulfy concludes Iris brief with an argument of the innocence of his client, part of which Is as follows: "The statement of the case made by the respondent shows that the appellant was 3iot connected by any evidence whatever with the crime charged, but that the con tention of the state, that the evidence in the case Justifies the conviction, is predl cated'solely upon theories entertained Tjy counsel respecting certain testimony some of which is ehown to be wholly in competent to establish any fact and from which counsel draws inferences of guilt. The testimony of the witnesses shows that the whole course of conduct and all of the statements of the appellant are wholly inconsistent with guilt The posi tive direct evidence of the witnesses for the state by all reasonable deduction jshows that he is innocent of the crime. "It is a well-known fact that the six jurymen "who 'brought about the convic tion of this boy after the other six had voted consistently for 23 hours for his acquittal did so upon the ground advo cated toy counsel on general principles. 'If he did not kill the girl.' It was advo cated, "he -was guilty of other things, and matters which the evidence disclosed, and ought to be convicted on general princi ples!' It was upon these other matters and by forcing into the case. In the zeal of counsel to convict him, the Incompe tent, Irrelevant and highly prejudicial matters set forth in the assignments of error herein, together with the unfortu nate relations which had. existed between the boy and girl, and against the judg ment for 23 hours of the other six jurors, that the verdict was procured. "The chapter of errors disclosed by the record in this case Is but the sequel of the overweening zeal which was mani fested by the learned and able counsel who prosecuted the case. Lacking all evidence of the guilt of the appellant of the crime charged, they painted and paraded him before the jury as an incarnate fiend, cruel, cold-blooded and brutal' 'a man ol experience, traveled and of knowledge ol this world! this lS-year-old boy and by these means and by advocacy was brought about the conviction of an Innocent boy. We are gratified to be able, to say that the picture thus painted of this boy Is as false as It can possibly be, and to com pare -with that the certificate of charac ter w hich his jailers have since voluntari ly given him, which Is, in substance, that he Is the best-behaved- prisoner, and the most upright manly boy who has been in their cjstody during an experience of 14 years: and that he has not one of the familiar characteristics or instincts of the criminal class." rla," said Mr. Sawley, yesterday, "but If the police authorities of .Astoria- will work on the case and give the baby to us, we will accept the child at our Home, Twenty-eighth and Ankeny streets."

A peculiar transaction in horseflesh will be in stlgated by Municipal Judge Cameron tomorrow, -when the cases of R. C. Gossman and W. Ludwlg -will be called. Gossman and Ludwlg were ar rested yesterday by Detectives Ford and Cordano. It is charged that Gossman re cently gave Ludwlg a horse to keep for him, and that Ludwlg sold the animal to William Wolfsteln. Then Gossman ap peared at Wolfsteln's place, seized the horse, which he said was his, and swore out a -warrant against Ludwlg for larceny. In the meantime, Fred Noumaker, of Kll gaver. misled his horse, and In starting out on the search, he met Gossman, -who, for $1 reward, told Noumaker that his horse was -with an Italian, near Willam ette Heights. The police found this horse, and the Italian insisted that he bought it from Ludwlg. The Italian added that he gave Ludwlg a horse which he bought from a hor&e-meat concern and $7 50 to boot for Noumaker s horse. The police then arrested Gossman and Ludwlg, as being the best -way to throw light on the double horse deal. REKTECOST SUNDAY. Pontifical lllgli Manm at Cathedral Todnj.

The Division of Agrostology, of the Department of Agriculture, Is much interested in the successful growing of range grasses in Eastern Oregon and Washington, and In growing sand-binders along the Oregon coast near the mouth of the Columbia, and on the south bank of this river, In the vicinity of Cascade Locks, where the sand drifts considerably. For several years past this bureau has been co-operating with. the experiment station at Cor vallls, with a view to introducing supe rior grades of grasses ior both localities, and .considerable success has been at tained. This Summer, Professor Hitchcock, of this division, will spend considerable time in Oregon and Washington, visiting the various experiment stations, and familiar izing himself with the work, offering sug gestions wherever possible, and giving all assistance possible. In seasons past sev eral varieties of range grasses have been introduced in Eatern Oregon and Wash ington which have given general satisfac tion. It is recognized that grasses, to grow well In these sections must be drought-resisting to a considerable extent In the several kinds of wheat grasses, Turkestan and alfalfa, and smooth brome grass, the department finds It has solved the problem "to a large extent There are now no new varieties on hand to Intro duce, and the efforts of the 'present Sum mer will be turned in the direction of spreading the varieties mentioned over a larger area. Where one or more have been tried in the past, and have been planted with care, success has crowned the efforts of the planters. Under proper guidance. It Is believed the ranges of all of Eastern Oregon and "Washington can be made to grow these hardy varieties of grasses. It had been the Intention of the depart ment to make extensive experiments with the various grasses In 'the vicinity of The Dalles, and. In fact, a plan for a season's work In that locality had been partly laid out, when the Oregon Legislature estab lished an experiment station at Union, and. In consequence, the work of the present Summer will be conducted -fiom that point It is believed here that the conditions at Union are not as favorable for demonstrating the practicability of growing certain grasses on the range as at The Dalles, especially the growing of grasses for the seed, which it is hoped to distribute among the stockmen during the next Spring. It is the policy of the department to distribute grass seed, as far as po5lble, that has been raised in the United States. Such success has been had In Eastern Oregon with these prom inent wheat grasses, alfalfa and brome grass, that much of the seed distributed by the department during the past Spring was obtained from Oregon ranges. In.spreadlng this grass over all of East ern Oregon and Washington, where dif ferent conditions exist, it Is believed It will be possible to solve the problems of the range grasses more quickly than if the work -was confined to one locality. It is already known that In one locality wheat grass will give better results than either alfalfa or brome grass. In another, al falfa may grow best, and In a third, with slightly different conditions, the smooth bromo grass grows more readily than the other classes. The Turkeston alfalfa has been found more hardy than ordinary grades of alfalfa, and -where It can be readily grown produces a rich and very full crop. It needs considerable care at the planting stage, but once It starts is very hardy and a successful grower. The wheat grasses are not so tender in the early stages, and will grow under more varied and trying circumstances. But the smooth brome Is found to be the hardiest of all. and will grow In drier climates, and with less rainfall than any of these arletles. It makes an excellent fodder, and more than any other grass is suited to the most arid sections of both Oregon and "Washington. This grass is the most drought-resistant of the grasses whose seed can be procured in the mar kets. J When Secretary Wilson returns to Washington an effort will be made to have further searches made In Northern Africa In the" hope of finding other va rieties of range grasses that will grow well in arid sections. In certain parts of Washington an oasis alfalfa gathered In Africa Is being grown with much success. A limited quantity of this teed was im ported, however, and its general adapta bility to our arid regions cannot yet be tested. It is believed that Africa can of fer a number of varieties of drought resistant grasses which will produce good results in the West, and as soon as thej can. be located and a quantity of the seed imported, it Is hoped to give the stock men of the West the benefit of the de partmental research. Professor Hitchcock will be assisted by, or co-operate with Professor WIth combe, of the Corvallis station, while in Oregon, and In Washingtn -will -visit the experi ment stations at Pullman, North Yakima and Walla Walla. The main line of work In Washington Is In the line of range Improvement, a subject which will have the close attention of Professor Hitch cock for some weeks after he has com pleted his studies in Oregon. IDEAL FARM COMMUNITY COMPLIMENT TO WALLOWA VAL LEY, IX EASTERN OREGON. Agricnltural Department Says No- Trhere In State Is Thrift and Care So Noticeable. WASHINGTON, May 2L-"Throughout my travels In the West," .said F. Lamson acriDner, agrostologlst of the Depart ment of Agriculture, the other day, "I encountered no fields more beautiful, no farms more attractive and no scenery more impressive than that of the Wallowa Valley, of Eastern Oregon. It was a sight I shall never forget, and Impressed itself deeply upon my memory. From one of the high points 'I gazed down Into the vast valley beneath. As far as the eye could reach were well-kept farms, care fully lald-out and systematically worked fields, neat farmhouses, barns and every thing that goes to make up an ideal farm ing community. As a general thing, the farmers of the West, wjth sucih vast areas or .iertHe land at their disposal, pay little attention to the appearance of their prop erty, but rather spend their entire time seeing how much they can produce In a Summer. The thrift and care that is'seen on" every hand among the farms of Wal lowa Valley, Is characteristic of the farm ers of New York and New England. As you well know, there are no farms that are neater than those of the states of New England, New York and Pennsylvania. System and order are observed all over the farming sections of those states. The effect is pleasing to the eye, and is a matter of comment among all who see them for the first time. The fence marks the dividing line between fields, and lines every road. And so it Is In the Wallowa Valley. In fact, that one valley is the only place in tne enure West -where I saw evidences of New England thrift. I do not mean to cast reflections on the farmers of other parts of the state, but I do want to compliment the exceptional care and attention manifested by the farmers in Oregon's ideal garden spot." Lllccs Philippine Service. It Is really a relief to find an Army of ficer who has seen service In the Philip pines, and has enjoyed his stay there, who is man enough to give expression to his fondness for Insular service. There are hundreds of men who served in the Volunteer Army in the Philipines who came home with tales of woe of condi tions in the Philippines, but who, at the very first opportunity, made a- grab at a chance to secure a commission in the regular Army, and be returned to this same "distasteful duty." A young officer living in Baltimore who is home to take an examination for appointment dnder the reorganization act, said: "A soldier's life is good enough for me, and I want to get back to the Phil ippines as soon as possible. You never saw a jollier, happier and finer-looking lot of men than the American soldiers in the Islands" he continued. "The men don't begin to suffer the hardships that our Army did during the Civil War. They are housed in substantial quarters, not In tenta, but in comfortable houses The natives are beginning to realize that an American Army,"ather than one from Europe, has invaded their country. An Industrial capture of the islands will eventuallj subdue even the most rebel lious Filipino. A man who w 111 erect a sawmill there will make a fortune. The forests are unbounded, and the woods of the richest It Is just the same with other products of the islands. Farms are cultivated but little, and the mines are practically undeveloped. The natives themselves do not begin to realize the wealth tha't surrounds them on every hand. But when American industry takes hold, begins general development and convinces the natives that there Is room enough for all, the Islands will be an ideal place, not only for a home, but for business enterprise. And the invasion of development may soon be expected now." ARTHUR W. DUNN.
