OWNER WAS DAVE L00NEY One of the Best-Known Breeders In the Northwest Is Brought to Book by American Jer sey Cattle Club. SALEM. Or., July 29.-Speclal.)-Be-caupe be entered an unregistered bull in tho livestock shows at Salem, "Walla Walla and North Yakima last Fall and afterward sold the bull as one bred and. registered by himself, Dave Looney, of Jefferson, one of the best Known Jersey breeders In the Northwest, Is In serious trouble. The animal won prlres at each of the fairs mentioned, although disquali fied on account of non-reglstratlon and alto because entered In the wrong class. Looney has been charged with Inten tional deception and a trial ha? been had before the American Jersey Cattle Club. Looney admits all the facts except that the substitution was intentional, and says It was a mistake. "Gulden J. Exile" was the name of the animal that won second prire at the Ore gon State Fair last Fall in the yearling bull Jersey class. The same animal took the sweepstakes at Walla Walla and North Yakima. The bull was entered as bred by D. H. Looney. but was in fact bred by "Uncle" Charley Miller, of Jef ferson, sold by him to George Terhune and bought by Looney from Terhune. Mr. Looney sold the animal to J. T. Ott, of Ashland, under a registration showing It to be of the "Golden Lad" strain and bred by himself, whereas the animal was not entitled to any such registration. The animal was four months too old for the class In which It was entered at the fairs.' What the real facts arc Is a matter of dispute anft of wide discussion, for the controversy that has . arisen has created a great senpition. not only among stock men, but among farmers and business men who have known Looney for years. When complaint was made to the Amer ican Jersey Cuttle Club, several months ago. the matter waa referred to W. M. Ladd, of Portland, for Investigation, and testimony was Very quietly taken at Jer fcrson two weeks ago. This testimony has been forwarded to the executive committee, and a decision will be ren dered either exonerating Looney or fining him or barring his cattle from further registration. The charge that Is made is that Looney, either made a false registration or sub stituted an unregistered animal for one that had been properly registered. Looneys story is that he had a bull calf of his own breeding which he registered as "Golden J. Exile." and five or six months later bought the Miller bull, which very closely resembled his own, but was several months older. Looney says his foreman reported the Miller bull dead last Summer and be sup. posed such was tha fact. He now con cludes that It was "Golden J. Exile" that died, for Miss Lou Miller has positively Identified the prlxe winner a an animal bred by her father. When it was a sniaU calf sh tattooed the. letters "C M." la its ear with India Ink. and the letters are zCllI there. Mksi Miller, who brought the charges of fraud, acafewt Ler. editresses a 4aVt whether the rl OsHfit J. Xx heard of Looney losing a bull before this contest arcwe. She also asserts that a stockman of Looney's experience could not have mistaken one animal for an other. The fact is also noted that Looney marks all his cattle, and his failure to have "Golden J. Exile" marked is a sus picious circumstance. The outcome of the trial before the American Jersey Cattle Club Is being watched with Interest, for upon the ver dict rests Looney"s reputation as -a breeder. J. T. Ott. who bought the sub stitute bull. Is taking no Interest In the matter, for Looney made the transaction satisfactory to him and the only ques tion Involved Is that of the boner of D. II. Looney.

Collins, accused of perjury at San Francisco" and fight ing vigorously against extradition, had tampered with a witness, A. J. Henry, a notary public of San Francisco, may yet be Investigated, although Judge Larapman has not taken cognizance of the matter. Today when ClUins' coun sel was objecting to an Interview with Henry published In the Victoria Colo nist, alleging that both Henry and the newspapers' were In contempt of court, Mr. HIgglns, counsel for prosecution, said he did not propose to go Into this matter now to delay the proceedings. The matter now to be considered was whether Collins was to be extradited or not. but said he could prove with three witnesses under oath that Collins had tampered with the witness. "And you'll he" called upon to prove lt."sald Collins. "I am quite prepared to prove It," re plied Mr. HIgglns. Mr. Higgins said that Collins had given the first Interview and Henry had given another contradicting; the state ments the accused made. The court held both blamable" In dis cussing the matter in the press, rather than coming to the court. HIgglns said Collins had been continually going to the local press with statements. Judge Lampman said these Interviews were, he supposed, designed to be telegraphed to San Francisco. He did not go Into the matter, which, he said, was one which touched Mr. Justice Duff. Collins today argued objections raised to the admissibility of the depositions and statements submitted by the San Francisco authorities which, he contend ed, were not properly authenticated. He argued at length and cited numerous authorities in contending- that the de positions sent from San Francisco were stated to Jbe originals. But the certifi cates authenticating- them stated them to be copies. The objeclons were still belng argued when the case was re sumed until Monday. Collins also took exception to tha published statements of A. J. Henry, the San Francisco notary, who stated that Collins" version of the allegation of tampering with .him was untrue, and that he had given a statement to Col lins only on the representation it waa wanted for Judge Duff. The court did not take any action In this matter. Haley Has a Dozen Aliases. WEISER. Idaho. July 29. (Special.)
