0 THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 9, 1906. DEFENSE RECALLS FOUR WITNESSES They Testify for Both Sides in Blue Mountain Conspir acy Case. HENEY STANDS BY PUTER Manifests His Intention to Severely Cross-Examine Those Who Deny Land-Fraud Expert's Story. Eugene Lawyer on Rack. After calling five witnesses, only one of whom had not previously testified for the prosecution, the defense in the Blue Mountain forest reserve case secured an early adjournment of the Federal Court from Judge Hunt yesterday afternoon, and it Is expected will rest by tomorrow evening. In that case, arguments to the jury will begin not later than Tuesday. The Government had a few odds and ends to fix up in the morntug before Prosecutor Heney was entirely satisfied to rest his case. Like the careful mariner who adjusts his compasses before em barking on a voyage, the special assist ant to the Attorney-General wanted everything in ship-shape, and for that reason patched up every place in the evidence that might afford a loophole of escape in the event that the Appellate Court should finally acquire Jurisdiction of the case. Announcement that the defense would begin the introduction of evidence had the effect of attracting an unusually large audience. Governor Chamberlain and United States Senator Mulkey, . besides many other well-known personages, being Interested spectators. In all probability the courtroom will be crowded to its fullest capacity next week throughout the argument of the case. A. C. Woodcock, an attorney of Eugene, was the first witness placed on the stand by the defense, and the only new one of the quintet that testified. He was one of the lawyers who defended S. A. D. Puter and Horace McKinley in the fa mous 11-7" case, on which indictment Puter. McKinley. Dan W. Tarpley and Mrs. Emma L. Watson were convicted in November, 1901. Mays Not Puter's Lawyer." lie testified that the law office of Judge M. L Pipes was made the head quarters of all the lawyers for the de fense in that case, and that, besides Judge Pipes and himself, the defendants were represented by Judge Thomas O'Day, of Portland, and Charles A. Hardy, of Eugene, Or., who appeared for Marie L. Ware. According to Woodcock, V. P. Mays was never in attendance at any- of these consultations among the at torneys for the defense, and there was nothing to indicate that he represented Puter in any way. as testified to by the latter last Thursday. Almost the first question that Mr. Heney asked Woodcock on cross-examination came like a warning to the attor neys for the defendants that whoever sought to assail the credibility of Puter would be met more" than half way in the game. The. Government prosecutor is firmly convinced that Puter told the truth on the stand, and It will be treading on dangerous ground for the defense to un dertake to impeach his testimony. All the time that Heney was directing the fire of his batteries in the direction of the witness, it was apparent to every body that ho intends to challenge the right of any person to assail Puter's credibility, and that whoever comes un der the limelight of criticism in this re &t't must himself be spotless. ' T was employed In the case soon after the indictments were returned against Puter and McKinley,' testified Woodcock. "Charles A. Hardy, of Eugene, engaged me," he continued, in reply to Heney'e inquiry if it were not a fact that he was the attorney for the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, some of the officers of which are under indictment at the present time, and if his appearance on the witness stand was not part of a plan of the corporation to aid in defeating the ends of justice Jn the case at bar. Says He Was Not Drunk. Woodcock denied that he was actu ated by any such motives, and further more declared that he was not intoxi cated nearly every night while the case was going on, as suggestively Intimat ed by Heney. The witness admitted that Puter had paid him for his serv ices, partly during the trial, and that while the trial was in progress Puter attempted to discharge him. "During the trial Puter tried to dis miss me." he acknowledge!. "It was at Judge Pipes' office. He objected to my raying some of the fees. I did not tell him I was employed by Mario Wars and that he could not put me out; neither do I know as a fact thai Puter paid ail the bills. I think the money came part ly through his brother, L, F. Puter. The case was ready for trial in Novem ber, 1903, but I did not participate in any of the proceedings. I do not know that Mays argued the demurrer, or was Puter's attorney In the ' original case and got half the land in 21-1 as his fee. I have no knowledge of how the land was divided in that case. I remember that Emma L. Watson got six pieces as her portion, three- of which went to Thad S. Potter, a clerk In Mays office." There were certain features con nected with Woodcock's further exam ination that had to be subjected to a close analysis, and as the witness was anxious to return to Eugene yesterday afternoon, he was excused until Mon day morning, when he will resume the stand. A. W. Leedy, an attorney of Canyon City, was recalled as a witness for the defense, and testified that he had pre pared the protests against the perma nent, establishment of the Blue Moun tain forest reserve. He said that the general sentiment of the people of Oram County was universally against the proposition, on the ground that it Included too much agricultural land. According to Leedy, practically overy interest of the county was against the reserve, but the opposition thereto came more especially from the stockmen and miners. Grant County, he said, being purely a mining and stockraising re gion, anything inimical to those inter ests would naturally arouse the an tagonism of the whole people. Leedy referred to the fact that only two members of the Wool growers' As sociation were In favor of creating the reserve. It developed an cross-examination that F.mll Sharp, one of these two, has been indicted for fencing Gov ernment land. i Field Notes In Evidence. John W. Rowland, chief clerk of the United States Surveyor-General's office, was then placed on the stand with the view of demontrating by the field notes of the different townships em braced in the Blue Mountain reserve that nly first-class timber lands were Included- The admissibility of the field notes as evidence formed the basis for a protracted discussion be tween opposing counsel. Heney hold ing that they were not competent evi dence, especially since ex-United States Surveyor-General Henry Mel drum had been convicted of nuking fraudulent surveys, and some of his work might have been connected with the forest reserve townships. "Why should our clients want those lands," insisted one of the attorneys for the defense, "unless they were sure there was god timber on them?" Quick as a flash came Heney's re ply: "So you do admit now thai the locations were made for the benefit of your clients?" He was on the point of saying considerable more, but for some unexplained reason suddenly consented to the admission of the field notes of the 30 townships, and Mr. Rowland was excused from the witness-stand. Orrin L. Patterson, the Canyon City editor, was the next witness, and tes tified that along in the early part of 1903 a meeting was called at Canyon City for the purpose of considering the feasibility of sending- a delegation to Washington to resist the establish ment of the reserve. Forest Inspector Langille happened along about that time, telling residents of the place he was there for th6 purpose of inves tigating the situation. After looking over the data that had been gathered on the subject, he left with the inten tion of returning soon, and Patterson gave that as an excuse for retaining the protests In his possession for nearly a year. , "I kept the data," said Patterson, NEW SOPRANO OF FIRST - - ' - I MISS KATHLEEN' I.AWI.E R. Perhaps one of the moat Important changes in Portland church choir posi tions this season has been made by Mlsf Kathleen Lawler, who has accepted the position as solo soprano of the First Baptist Church' choir. Miss Lawler has rapidly risen to the front ranks as one of Portland's best singers under the guidance of her teacher, Mrs. Walter Reed, and Is well known on the concert stage. She has occupied the difficult position of solo soprano at St. Marys Cathedral for the past five years, which stamps her as an accomplished musi cian. Possessing a wonderfully sweet soprano voice, of great clearness and carrying power. Miss Lawler Is always welcomed and appreciated wherever 1 she sings. "expecting that Langille would soon return, and finally Bent it on to Williamson. No one except Langille sug gested the idea of holding the data back. I had never seen Mr. Williamson prior to the time he came to Canyon City. He was brought to my office and introduced to me. I think, by Henry Johnson. He came to my office about 9:30 in the morn ing and remained until 12. I had no ulterior motive in holding back the data." Mr. Heney subjected the witness to a severe cross-examination, in the endeavor to Bhow that he had withheld the pro tests against the reserve at Williamson's suggestion. The fact was elicited by the Government attorney that in March. 1903, about the time that Patterson's brother's term of office as Receiver of The Dalies Land Office was on the point of expira tion, he stopped off .at The Dalles while returning from the State Legislature at Salem, and had a talk with Congressman Williamson on the subject of recommend ing Receiver Patterson for re-appointment. "Possibly Williamson Sent a telegram regarding my brother's appointment while I was at The Dalles," admitted Patterson. George H. Cattenach, also of Canyon City, was the last witness. He corrobor ated Patterson, in a way, relative to the efforts to prevent the forest reserve from going through, and said that when Lan gille was there he told the opponents of the reserve that he might want to use some of the data that had been collected in making up his report, and for that reason requested that it be withheld tem porarily, as he expected to come back. Cattenach Admits Negligence. "We raised quite a sum of money for the purpose of sending a committee to Washington to assist in fighting the measure," continued, Cattenach, "but concluded that it would do no good, and abandoned the idea. I had no ulterior motive in withholding the remonstrances. It was a whole lot of negligence on my part in doing so," he added significantly. At this Juncture W. D. Fenton. on be half of all the defendants, announced that in all probability but little more oral testimony would be introduced by their side, and that if the lawyers for Mays, Jones and Sorenson were permitted to hold a conference before proceeding fur ther, it would expedite matters greatly. Upon this suggestion Judge Hunt then adjourned court until 9:30 tomorrow morning. PAID HEAVILY TO END SUIT William Ziegler's Widow Dissuaded From Contesting Will. . NEW YORK. Sept. 8. An accounting filed with the Surrogate by the executors of the estate of William Ziegler disclose3 for the first time that $2,185,000 was paid by the executors to settle the action in stituted by Mr. Ziegler's widow to have the instrument declared invalid. The ac tion was brought by Mrs. Ziegler a few days after her husband's death in May of last year. It was alleged that at the time of its execution Mr. Ziegler was not competent to make a will. Mr. Ziegler had left practically the whole of his es tate to his adopted son, William Ziegler, Jr., after providing that his widow should receive an income of IjoO.OOO a year. The account shows that the estate has in creased more than Jl.000,000. It originally amounted to J12,382,928. WHEATRATE HELD UP 0. R. & N. Is Given Temporary Injunction at Seattle. HANF0RD HEARS ARGUMENT Railroad Contends That Electric Roads Are Exempt From Rulings of Commission, and That Daily Penalty Is Imposed. SEATTLE. Sept. 8. (Special.) Federal Judge Hanford this morning granted a temporary restraining order, forbidding the State Railroad Commission from in terfering with the O. R. & N. or other state railroads in an attempt to enforce the joint wheat rate order. The tempo- BAPTIST CHURCH CHOIR rary restraining order will continue in effect until the case can be heard on its merits. It was granted after a two hours' discussion of the law. Federal Judge Hanford declared at the outset that he did not care to hear any argument on the constitutionality of the law until the case was finally called at its trial. Neither did he care to listen to the merits of the case. He asked merely for an argument over the jurisdiction of the Federal Court and the danger of In jury to the railroads. The Harriman system showed that the parties at Interest were residents of dif ferent states, and that steam railroads were subjected to the commission's rul ings, while electric roads were not, sat isfying the first requirement On the sec ond, it was demonstrated a dally penalty was imposed for ignoring the commis sion's rulings. Then followed the injunc tion. . BLOWS OUT HIS BRAINS Unknown Found Bead in Brush at Mount Tabor. The only clew to the identity of a man who was found dead with a bullet hole in his forehead in a clump of brush at the corner of Baker avenue and Clark street, at Mount Tabor yesterday morn ing, is the name engraved on the Inside of his watch, which - he pawned in a place at 3 North Third street Friday. The name on the watch 1b "P. M. Musll," and Coroner Finley believes this wu the man's right name, although in pawning nis watcn ne gave the name of E. J. Dick." While conducting his investigation into tne man's death, coroner Finley dlscov ered that the suicide pawned his watch to buy a revolver. He purchased a 38 caliber revolver with the to he received for his watch, and this weapon was found by the man's side yesterday morn ing. Coroner Finley decided that there can be no question as to its being a case of suicide, as all indications point to the fact that the man took his own life. Musil, if that is his correct name, erased his name and address off all papers found on him, and so far the Coroner has been unable to find where the man lived and whether he had any relatives in the city. The fatal shot was heard by people liv ing In the neighborhood about 9 o'clock Friday night. GETS PRIZE FOR ASTERS Miss Alice Marshal Winner In the Mount Scott Flower Contest. The second and closing floral fair, under the auspices of Lents Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was held yes terday in Davis Hall, Mount Scott. It was a contest in the cultivation of as ters. The contest in July wu for sweet peas. . An appropriation of $12 was made for both contests. . Mrs. Beard was In charge. Contestants brought bunches of asters to the Grange hall, where they were placed on the plat form in the middle of the hall, where they could be seen and admired. There were 8-eral hundred of the asters and they made a most beautiful display, although not as largo as expected. Rev. Hiram Vrooman, Mrs. T. ,T. Williams and Mrs. S- E. .Welch were appointed a committee on awards and made the following awards of prizes: First prize for floral display, award ed to Miss Alice Marshal; second prize, Winona Price; third prize, Lelia Lent. Miss Alice Marshal was awarded first prize for the best and clearest essay on the production of asters. The com mittee reported much" enthusiasm among the children of that district. Following is the essay prepared by Miss Marshal, on "How to Raise As ters": I planted my asters March 22, sowing broadcast in a well-prepared seed bed. They came up about April 15. The last part of May, when they were about two or three inches high, I transplanted most of them in two long rows about two feet apart, with plants one foot apart in the row. on new ground that had a light dressing of barnyard fertilizer before plow ing. I kept the soil fine and free from weeds bv using the hoe every few evenings when I would rather have played. Did not water them much or they would have been better. The first bloom opened Au gust 8. They have had, some of them, as many as 40 flowers on one plant; but are now getting rather faded, as they have been in bloom so long. The ones I lelt in the seed bed and did not transplant, though they were as well cared for as the others, did not amount to anything; only grew nine or ten inches high and had no perfect flowers, and seemed just to dry up, while the others were from one to two feet high. Both beds were open to the sun. I ordered Semnle's tall branching and Japanese, but out of 100 plants I had only six tall branenmg. 'l ne remainaer were the common, old-fashioned variety. So 1 have learned first to get good seed and then to transplant to an open situation. Give sood cultivation and water, if pos sible. If you enjoy your flowers as I have mine you will be wen paid ior your worn. UNIDENTIFIED , STORED Merchandise to Be Sold for Amount of Storage Charges by Franklin Warehouse & Bonding Co. Wednesday morning will begin a sale that will surpass any ever held in this part of the country, in point or the amount of goods sold, and in inter est to the public at large. The cause of the mammoth mer chandise movement Is unique in the history of Portland business annals. The Franklin Warehouse & Bonding Company had in 3torage for local and out-of-town merchants a warehouse full of high-grado goods meant to please the customers of these various concerns, in the coming Fall and Win ter business campaign. This firm has always been very lenient with their storage customers in the matter or payment of storage and the removal of goods at the expiration of the storage contract. For this reason there have been cer tain of their clients that have taken advantage of -the latitude allowed them by the warehouse company, and have been very negligent about taking their goods out of storage at the time called for by the contract. About a month ago the firm was for tunate enough to land a large contract for the housing of the reserve stock of a rapidly growing local establish ment, and at once notified all parties having goods stored with thetn that they would require all goods to be re moved this season at the expiration of contract, and that merchandise not re moved at such expiration, with all storages paid, would be sold for stor age charges. - - In accordance with this notice, they decided that all goods not called for by September 12 would be sold for warehouse charges, and after several written notices to owners of stored goods, the company had inserted in The Oregonian a printed notice to the same effect. And now that the prescribed time will have elapsed, and they still have In their possession nearly $100, 000 worth of uncalled-for merchandise, on which no warehouse charges have been paid, the firm has engaged the spacious salesrooms at Tenth and Washington streets (formerly occu pied by the Eastern Outfitting Com pany), and will sell at public sale all the goods thus left on their hands. The sale will begin Wednesday morning, September 12, and will con tinue till the storage charges are satis fied or the goods are all sold. Unusual attention Is attracted by the windows at the salesroom. Tenth and Washington, which have been painted a vivid green and a notice of the sale lettered thereon. The Franklin Warehouse & Bond ing Company wishes everyone to re member the date on which the sale begins, Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. They assert that they will give the buyers of Portland more for their money than they have ever got ten before, and from the unique cir cumstances It surely looks as though they would be able to "make good." RIDE TO COUNCIL CREST Visiting Newspaper Correspondents First Passengers Over New Line. Seven of the nine visiting Washington correspondents left Portland last night in their special car for San Francisco. The party will break up at the Bay City, the newspaper men returning by various routes and visiting various places on their way home. Harry J. Brown, of The Oregonian, and Charles S. Smith, of the Associated Press, will remain in Portland until tomorrow, when they will follow the others to California Yesterday the newspaper men were the guests of the Commercial Club. The street railway company provided them with a special car and. they were the first passengers to ride over the new Council Crest loop. They were taken to the Exposition grounds to see the Forestry building and other sights and points of interest. . Returning from their journey, they as sembled! for luncheon at the Commercial Club in company with Governor Cham berlain, Senator Fulton and the members of the board of governors of the club.

Curves Are Eliminated as Much aa Possible, and Cars Are Expected to Make Fast Time. SALEM. Or., Sept. 7. (Special.) The initial trip on the Oregon Electrio Company's new line, under construction from Salem to Portland,' was made to day, when a car was run as far as Chemawa, to which place construction has been completed. Manager Donald, several other men in charge of con struction work an,d a number of busi ness men of Salem, made the trip over the line. Under the company's franchise from the City of Salem the company must have cars rMinlng from Trade street in this city to Chemawa by Monday, Sep tember 1). This morning the line lacked two blocks of reaching Trade street, but the two blocks were completed this evening and the terms of the-f ranchise have been complied with. The section of the road from- Salem to Chemawa Is five miles long and is comparatively straight. The line sur veyed from Salem to Portland shows few curves and none very abrupt. The aim of the company is to build a road that will make high speed possible without danger. The plan is to make the. trip between the capital and the metropolis in an hour and a half, whereas the trip now takes two hours and a quarter. The initial trip was without mishap and was a pleasant one for thoso who went as gutsts of the company. Regu lar traffic will be commenced today. The company has established a rate of 10 cents between Chemawa and Salem, or 2 cents a mile. WILL NOT HOLD INQUEST Death of Thomas Goodwin Regarded as Unavoidable Accident.

GALVESTON, Tex., Sept. 8. The fish ing smack Hatteras, belonging to the Gulf Fisheries Company, of this city, reached here today from Mexican' waters' where her commander states he waa held up by a Mexican gunboat August 25. While seven milca off Triangular Reef, in the middle of the Gulf of Campeche, armed Mexican marines boarded the American boat and ordered the captain to show his papers. The captain of the Hatteras was much agitated when the warship gave orders to lay to, as he was a great distance outside the shore limit and under full sail for the fishing banks.
