The opening arguments to the Jury wllp be made Monday and the Introduc tion of testimony for the Government will begin during the afternoon. The trial of the case will require not less than ten days, and probably two weeks. All of the jurors, except those called in the Booth case, have been excused until a week from tomorrow. Two Veniremen Excused. Judge 'Wolverton yesterday sustained the challenges by the defense and ex cused as Jurors Samuel Osburne, ma chinist, residing in Alblna. Portland, and Thomas R. A. Sellwood. orchardist, of Mllwaukle. Clackamas County. In the examination of Ir. Osburne a question arose as to his citizenship and the fur ther questioning of the Juror was sus pended while he could return to his home and produce in court what he though were his final citizenship papers. It (W veloped that the Juror had taken out only his first or declaratory papers as a citizen, whereupon Judge Wolverton ex cused him as ineligible for Jury duty. Mr. Sellwood was challenged by the defense on his admission that he served as a member of the Federal grand jury in April. 19l7, less than two years ago. Judge Webster raised the objection that by reason of the fact the Juror was dis qualified from serving as a petit Juror in the case on trial. Mr. Becker, for the prosecution, concurred with the defense in that interpretation of the statute and Judge Wolverton excused Mr. Sellwood. Could Be I'nblused. In the course of his examination as to his qualifications as a Juror. Mr. McKln non said he was a traveling salesman for the Goodyear Rubber Company of this city, working on a salary and commission basis. He admitted that the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company was one of the largest patrons of his house In his territory, but felt confident his business relations with the lumber company was not such that he could not give the defendants a fair and Impartial trial on the evidence as governed by the instructions of the Court. When the jury had been completed and sworn. Judge Wolverton requested coun sel to Indicate what length of time would be required to conclude the trial. An swering ' for the Government, United .States Attorney McCourt said he believed the prosecution would be able to intro duce Its testimony In three or four days. In that event. Judge Webster, for the de fense, agreed that the case should be . concluded by Saturday of this week. But, judging from the time that has been re quired to try similar cases, there is but little probability that the one on trial will go to the Jury before the middle of next week and perhaps not before the end of the week. Summons Score of Witnesses. It Is known that the Government-has subpenaed a score of witnesses, and, in addition to their testimony, there" will be the usual volume of documentary evi dence. This will be offered in corrobora tion of the testimony relating to the pro cess of filing on a quarter-section of tim berland and Its subsequent transfers, out of which arose the charge of conspiracy to defraud the Government, alleged In the Indictment. In all of the preceding so-called land fraud cases, witnesses In attendance have been allowed only $1.60 a day, but by a provision Included in the general ap propriation bill of the last Congress all suclv witnesses, beginning July 1, this year, will be paid a per diem of $3 for every day they are away from their homes after being summoned by the Court. Song Recital at the White Temple BY J. M. QUENTIN. TALK of hero worship! If any one had predicted In advance that at a concert held at the White Temple on the night of July 17, a season so warm that we affect trolleycar rides and cool drinks, that every seat in the church would be occupied by an enthusiastic crowd pay ing -four bits" each to be there, that prophet's reputation would be shattered. But it happened all the same. The main attraction was Fred Butler, the basso, who made such a hit in opera and with, the Chapman evangelists, assisted by Miss Kathleen Lawler, soprano; Miss Ethel Shea, contralto; J. W. Belcher, tenor, and Edgar B. Coursen, accompan ist. "It's a hot time In the old town the night when Butler sings," remarked Dr. Brougher, by way of Introduction, and there was a round of applause. Mr. Butler sang one dozen sons, and satisfied his warmest admirers. "Women, end young ones at that, wearing the coolest and fluflest of shirt waists, formed the majority of the audience. Butler Is married, so there can't be any attraction that way. it's Just Butler, the singer. He Is deepening in his art, and has new vocalism ta keep the friendships he has already made. His opening songs were high-class, qulef ones the Haydn, Verdi, and Gounod numbers specially appealing. In Scotland, we put more fire an4 fervor Into "The MacGregor's Gathering. Mr. Butler caught the house wgk Tils humorous songs, notably witi, Lohr'a "Dear Little Girl." I thlntl "iowever. that the alleged song Hughes' Vtutterlng Lovers," Is not worth Whs Butler's talents. Miss Shea Is now at the tx it rank of our contraltos and the ease f her sing ing is charming. Her bes ? umber was Bonds "His Lullaby,"" and her encore Beach's "The Year s at the Swing." Miss Lawler sang with fine spirt . her encore being Clarke's "Betty's S"t7." Misses Lawler and Shea, and Mr. Basher caught the crowd with the thrill they put into the trio "Ti Prego, O Padre." Mr. Coursen's work at the piano was a treat. Mr. Butler begins a Summer engage ment as soloist at the White Temple, Sun day, concluding early in September. BANFF HCIT SPRINGS.

Racing with death from Coast to Coast. Miss Delia Balnton, daughter of a wealthy -Nw York merctfant. died on Burlington train No. 2 as it was pulling into the station here last night. The young woman was returning to the East from a search for health In the West and was accompanied only by a nurse. The body was prepared for burial and was shipped today to Jer sey City, N. J., her former home. Miss Bainton's race with death started on the Pacific Coast. MAY LOSE CONTROL Council Majority Said to Be Breaking Up. DRISC0LL IN BAD HUMOR Declares That He Will Retaliate on President Wills for letter's Vote Against Pullman Saloon License. A fierce fight Is raging among the members of the so-called "solid ten"' in the City Council, which threatens to dis rupt what for many months has been an invincioie coterie, lorming xne. majority of that body, and absolutely controlling municipal legislation In Portland. The main war is between President A. N. Wills and M. J. IJriscoll, but Involves others, and bids fair to cause no end of strife and knife-wielding. Mayor Lane, against whom this aggre gation formally fought on all of his mea sures, is leaning back in his chair and laughing, as it furnishes great amuse ment to him. The five members who constitute the minority faction of the Council are also greatly pleased with the turn events are taking, as it now seems probable another member may be added to their organization. If hls oc curs. It will mean that every veto sent in by Mayor Lane will be sustained, as it requires a two-thirds vote to pass an ordinance over his veto. Councilman Drlscoll is the unruly of ficial who promises to split up things, and to make the actions of the body in future more interesting. His anger knows no bounds, and he has publicly announced that he will fight President Wills and the latter's followers In the Council to a finish on all their pet mea sures. Whereas. In the past he has voted as a unit with the other nine members of the majority faction on every measure, he now declares that he will vote against them, and the fight promises to assume lively aspects. Mr. Drlscoll is "sore" because Mr. Wills put In an ordinance, the terms of which were designed to revoke the li cense of P. C. O'Meara. of the Pullman Cafe, a much-discussed Alder-street re sort, formerly conducted by John Con rad. Mr. Wills had this measure draft ed by the City Auditor, and 'placed in the line for action at the last Council meeting, but Mr. Drlscoll learned of the act, and Is reported to have removed the proposed ordinance. Therefore, it did not come up for action by the Council, and Mr. Wills' plan was thus defeated. That Mr. Drlscoll championed John Conrad and P. C. O'Meara, Conrad's suc cessor at the Pullman Cafe, was well known, and at first Mr. Wills and others stood with Mr. Drlscoll and kept the li cense alive. When there arose a clamor for the revocation of the license Mr. Drlscoll stood firm, supposing he had the support of his colleagues of the major ity, or enough of them to win his fight However, when he found he was mis taken Mr. Drlscoll rebelled, and has since been breathing out verbal threat enings and slaughter. Mr. Drlscoll has already openly de clared that Mr. Wills is endeavoring to have an ordinance passed, calling for the sale of the old City Jail and site, for the purpose of selling to the ' city an ?,'rntr ,P'ece of Property, in which- Mr. Wills is personally Interested. Mr Wills thus far, only laughs at Mr. Drlscoll but there are possibilities ahead which make it appear that, should Mr. Drlscoll re main angry, he can make a lot of trouble.

RESIDENTS of Portland are not ex actly pagans in their adoration of Mount Hood, but those who were privi leged to see the moon rise from behind the big snowcapped peak last night, were treated to a sight that Impelled salutations to mountain and orb. The Impulse seized the watcher to make obeisance as pagan ish In its devotion to the planet of night as ever was that of the sun worshipers of the African desert or our own ancients of the Southwest land. . About 11 o'clock, full, round Luna ap peared In all her white glory, first a rim of light circling; the peak of the mountain, then, as she rose, gave the appearance of being pierced in twn .by the wedge shaped apex. Gradually, as the planet came Into fuller view, the phenomenon gave the onlooker an appearance that -resembled that of the sharp mountain top withdrawing itself from an Inflicted wound, that healed as the cruel weapon came away.' . . Mount Hood Inspires love at first sight, and that first Impression strengthens with better acquaintance; but when the sharp point -of Its white top Is seen in the act of annihilating the Queen of Night, nature j asserts itself and chivalrous man gives all his sympathy to the planet of the weaker sex. Today, however, if haze does not obscure old Hood, Portland pagans will turn their eyes eastward and salaam to the great white sentinel as before. KILL ' OUTLAWS IN SLEEP Mexican Rnrales Take No Chances With' "El Jorobado." . MEXICO CITY, July IS. Details of the killing of the - famous bandit, Conoblo Rodriguez, "El Jorabado." and. his two companions, Antonjo and Pollcarpo Reyes, have Just reached here. The bandits charged with killing H. 8. Jones, an American, were shot while they slept. Three rurales sent out to capture the gang made a mock attack on a hacienda near which the robbers were encamped. The latter .took the supposed recruits In. The rurales watched and traveled with the bandits for five days, waiting; the chance to catch the real robbers off guard and execute the orders of the Gov ernor of the State of Durango to take the men dead or alive. Finally the ban dits, who had been suspicious of the recruits, relaxed their vigilance and went to sleep together. The rurales promptly shot them to death. . . roong Wife Is Suicide. 1 N . NEW YORK, July 18. In the home of Samuel Frledland, a real estate dealer of Brooklyn, his wife Susan was found dead with a bullet hole in the right temple. By her side was a 2-year-old son Abraham, who had in his hand a. re volver with which he was playing. For a. time It was supposed that the baby Abraham had found the pistol In the apartments and had killed his mother. When he reached home Mr. Frledland said he was sure It was suicide, because his wife, who was In 111 health, had often threatened suicide. Mrs. Frledland was 28 year old. Canadian Pacific Excursion.
