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

FIRST LINK IS COMPLETED
POUTLAND-SALGM ELECTRIC LI"E
HAS REACHED CHEMAWA.
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.

In response to yours of the 2d inst., permit me to say: Tour pub
