a traveling salesman nnd a retired drug
gist. 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.

Loses Race With Death.
CRESTOX, Iowa. July 18. 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.

Moon Rises Just Over
Mount Hood
Beautiful Spectacle Witnessed From
Portland as Orb Is Poised for In-'
taut on Top of Snowpeak.
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. . .

threatened suicide. Mrs. Frledland was
