Hard Legal Fight Over Admtwlon of
Evidence L Preserves
I'nmoved Demeanor During
Progress or the Trial.
Ident.fication of the w"-"", h,
J.ck U Ron left at a saloon the day
after Hyman Neuman was murdered Ut
Ia' arid which are .aid to have been
Xenman property, was completed yes
terday morning in the I Mrcmt Court.
Jlrs. Anna Neuman. widow of the vic
tim, and Rachael Neuman. his daughter.
Identified the. watches positively as hav
ing belonged to the stock In Neuman s
pawnshop. A
Admission of this testimony was made
the. subject of a hard legal flKht at the
opening of court. Attorney Humphrey,
on behalf of I-a Rose, contended that
the Incident of the watches had no con
nection with the charge against La Rose.
He argued the point for fully an hour.
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
mada a detailed reply, showing that a
proper foundation had been laid for the
testimony of Mrs. Neuman and her
daughter. Judge Morrow overruled the
objections entered by the defense.
Mrs Neuman said she had frequently
aeen the two watches at her husband
store. The daughter said that she, too,
had seen them and that ahe recogniied
one of the watches beyond possibility of
mistake because of some peculiar en
graving on the filled case.
This testimony was completed by De
tective Tichenor. who said he received
the two watches the day after the trag
edy from the Leunder Bros.' saloon. The
proprietors of this place testified on Fri
day that La Rose left them there the day
of the fatal assault on Neuman.
Adjournment was taken at noon for the
day. The case will be resumed Monday
vioming at 9:30 o'clock. The state has
little more than begun its case and hardi
ly expects to rest before Tuesday after
noon or Wednesday morning. The de

La Rose continues .to be the most un

are being examined he shows a sort

who have him in charge.
EJECTED TENANT GETS $4500
(Grasping Landlord Must Pay for
Throwing Out Woman.
Forty-five hundred dollars was the
turn allowed Mrs. Mary Stark by a
Circuit Court Jury yesterday because
of ruined health which followed her
jcctme.nt from a rooming-house con
ducted by John K- Eppler and wife at
Front and Clay streets. The Epplers
threw her out because ahe was behind
with her rent.
Mrs. Stark sued for $10,000. She set
up that during last May she was
rooming with her husband at the Kp
pler place. Rent became overdue. She
was served with notice to move. Al
though she and' her husband had no
place to go they started to leave. Mrs.
Kppler attempted to seize Mrs. Stark's
personal effects, a struggle ensued,
and as Mrs. Stark was in a delicate
condition at the time, the results to
her were very serious. She. has been
at the tiood Samaritan Hospital almost
constantly since then, and is now con
fined at that place.
The Fpplers set up by way of de
fense that the rent was overdue and
that they were acting within their
rights. They were given a grilling by
Attorneys John F. Logan and Dan J.
Malarkey. who represented the injured
woman. Mr. Malarkey asserted before
the Jury that they were a pair of
grasping misers, whose fiendish greed
had robbed an unfortunate woman of
her health. The Jury was out only a
few minutes.
ITALIAN VIXEN IS ON" TRIAL
Woman Who Struck Policeman
Proves Hard to Control.
Rose DeSlcclo. an Italian woman with
Sk volcanic temper, is on trial In the
fTlrruit Court for attempting to break
h heavy sledge hammer over a police
man's had. She is being tried by Jury
r-efore Judge Cleland. The woman grew
very much excited yesterday at testi
mony descriptive of her assault on the
officer and began Jabbering in her na
tive tongue.
The court, the clerk. District Attor
ney Cameron and the bailiff had to
combine their powers of persuasion in
convincing the woman that she must
keep quiet. Patrolman Murray waa the
victim of her assault. He was trying
to arrest her at the time. He was saved
from serious injury by the stout hel
met he waa wearing.
The defense Is trying to show that
the woman Is crasy. although mildly so,
uit thus far the testimony has only
showed that she has a tohssco temper.
The cane was taken up at 2 P. M. yes
terday and will be completed tomorrow.
or removal of the tariff on lumber, local
timhermen and loggers met in the con
vention hall of the Commercial Club yes-
. 1 m n n4 imH1 for tS'O
representatives to appear before the Ways
and Means committee oi tonirera
meets November 20 to consider tariff revi
sion. Oeorge H. Kelly acted as chair
man of the meeting and after a discus
sion of the matter at Issue he was
authorised to choose two representatives
of the local timber Interests to present
their protest against any reduction of the
tariff on lumber.
At present the schedule Is 2 on boards
and S3 cents on square timber. Notwith
standing this tariff a considerable amount
of lumber is being Imported by manu
facturers In the East. Oregon lumber
men declare that the people of the Middle
West state and even farther Bast have
been demanding a reduction of the tariff
on lumber for some time and that there
is a disposition on the part of the Waya
and Means Committee to heed the com
plaints against the existing scale. Local
dealers also declare that reduction or
removal of the tariff on lumber would
give the lumbermen of British Columbia
an opportunity to compete with the lum
ber Industry of the United States and
seriously affect the local trade. It la
believed that unless the American lum
bermen can made a strong opposition the
tariff may be reduced. U .not entirely re
moved. HILL KEEPS OWR COUNSEL

BLOW SAFE THREE TIMES
Hurglars at tirrsliani .secure 9280
and Escape.
While Gresiiani slept, burglars dyna
mited a safe In the heart of the town
three times, during the early hours of
yesterday morning. Getting into the
Lewis Shattuck store they attacked the
pate. The first charge of dynamite used
jarred off the outer door. A second
charge removed the Inner door and a
third charge was used on the metal
rash box.
Part of Gresham awoke about this
time and when It was discovered what
had occurred, a telephone alarm was
sent In to Sheriff Stevens, who went at
once to the place with several deputies.
It was found that the sum of $?0
had been taken from the place. Two
pairs of old shoes lay on the floor in
the storeroom and It was found that
two pairs of new patent leather .shoes
had been taken by the robbers. Three
men were seen In the vicinity and these
are thought to have done the work.

Experience After Announcing North
Bank Road Causes Him to
Practice Discretion.
"Jim Hill said nothing In all his
speech at the banquet last night about
his Intentions as to the extensions of
lines." said a railroad man yesterday.
"Nobody guessed the reason why. When
the North Bank road was first spoken
of he made some remarks about the line
that gave everyone in the Northwest an
idea of his route to Portland. The re
sult was that property-owners all along
the line held out for high prices, and
the result was that Mr. Hill had to pay
jlO.000 for a piece of right of way that
he could otherwise have secured for
$1000. or still less. His ill-timed re
marks cost his company many thou
sands of dollars for the building of the
line down the Columbia, and he took
no chances on a speech at a banquet,
where he might let out news of a
proiect"
"Hill doesn't get caught a second
time on the same proposition," said a
second railroad man "Back in St Paul
a reporter had always managed to get
news of his Intentions In advance. Hill
called the man up one day and told htm
all about his projected lines and fur
nished also the names of the officers of
the new roads. But Just as the re
porter was leaving the office with the
idea that he had a big 'scoop,' Mr. Hill
called him back.
" 'Young man.' he said, "you've been
getting everything that I do. wrong,
and so I have given you this matter
for reference with a view to publication
In the future.' "
"'Isn't this for tonlghtT inquired the
reporter, in surprise
" 'No. It Is simply for reference, so
that you will get things straight in the
futtire.' " solemnly answered Mr. Hill.
'And.' he concluded. 'I trust that you
will respect the confidence.
"Til be Til respect the confidence,
but you'll never catch me again on this
proposition. Mr. Hill,' said the reporter.
"The two parted. They met in St.
Paul afterward, each an avowed enemy
of the other, and they met In Portland
yesterday and both shook hands cor
dially. " 'How are you. Mike?- asked Mr. Hill
of his old enemy.
" 'Way up. Mr. '
"Jim." familiarly Interjected the
magnate.
" No. Mr. Hill, as I always called you,
said the former reporter.
"The two did not go to dinner to
gether, but they talked for some time."
WANT PORTLAND TRADE
Business Men From Klickitat County
Desire Closer Relations.
"Portland is the natural trade dis
tributing point for Klickitat County and
the territory between," said D. Lead
better, of Goldendale. Wash., yesterday,
"and now that our county has good rail
facilities.' as well as water, there is no
good reason why Portland merchants
should not step In and take what Is
theirs for the asking."
Mr. Leadbetter. H. N. Frailer and C.
T. txmplan comprise the executive com
mittee of the Klickitat Oounty Develop
ment League. They spent the past two
days in this city for the purpose of
calling upon business men and com
mercial organizations with a view to
directing attention to the fact that the
people of that part of the Columbia Val
ley are quite agreeable to having closer
business and social relations built up.
Already, they said, the trade of Golden
dale cornea to Portland to a great ex
tent, but there Is no reason why it should
not be Increased.
The members of the League expressed
the opinion that Portland people as a
rule have little idea of what a magnifi
cent country lies in the valley of the
Klickitat In which the town of Golden
dale Is located. It Is. they say, as rich
as any country anywhere along the val
lev. and while developed to a very con
siderable extent there Is present need of
introducing scientific farming and fruit
culture. When this Is accomplished the
committee Is of the opinion that the val
lev will become not only an attractive
place for Investment but for the sight
seer as well. The members pronounce
the Klickitat Valley one of the most at
tractive in Oregon or Washington.

Paydays for Election Bettors.
Bvery day since Wednesday morning
has been payday for some of those mis
guided ones who wagered their money
or bet hats on the election. Most of the
cash has been paid over, and so have the
orders for hats. Many of the toggeries
have a special blank form which they
supplr to the losers so that they can
hand them to the fellow who bet on Taft.
It is these orders that are showing what
hard losers the Bryan fellows are. Fol
lowing the election of Taft a local news
paper printed some hard-luck stories.
One was where section men had received
a reduction In salary and the other told
uf a number of employe that had been
DIAMONDS
WILL ADVANCE
History shows that in
prosperous times there is a,
greater demand for diamonds
and prices rapidly advance.
On the contrary, when
money tighens tip, demand
and prices of diamonds de
crease in the same propor
tion. There has not been a time
within the past few years
when diamonds c o n 1 d be
bought for as little as now, ,
financial conditions over the
entire country having affect
ed the demand.
We are now entering upon
an era of better times
money will be more plentiful,
prosperity will prevail, and
the demand for diamonds
will increase to such an ex
tent that prices will soon ad
vance and continue to ad
vance for a number of years.
For this reason, it is ad
visable to take advantage of
the present low prices, by
buying now. Prices will ad
vance soon, and you will be
the loser.
The price of diamonds will
never be lower than today.
For investment, the time to
buy is while the demand is
light and the price is low.
In my stock I have the fin
est diamonds in the city.
Every stone in my collection
has been bought upon the ba
sis of its individual worth,
which value I have given af
ter a careful and thorough
examination of each stone.
Some of the best judges of
diamonds in the city who
have examined some of my
diamonds concede them to be
perfect in every detail.
I would be pleased to show
you my stock at any time.

BET ON SENATORIAL FIGHT
Several 'Wagers Made on Chamber
lain at Even Money.
Now that it isn't asainst the city ordi
nance to make an election bet. many
men who never make a wager except
on the outcome of a political contest will
breathe much easier. When the police
grabbed one of the money-takers, there
was considerable consternation anions
those who had put up their coin on Taft
and Bryan, for they saw visions of their
money gently sliding into the coffers
of some charitable institution. The vision
soon melted, however, and now those
political speculators are turning their at
tention to wagering on whether the next
le4?islature will send Governor Chamber
lain to the United States Senate.
With the decks cleared of the big cam
paign, there ie nothing much left for the
politicians, and those who bet money on
election result are turning their atten
tion to speculating on the course the
Legislature will take in January. Al
ready more than J1000 has been wagered.
At present the speculative market is
without odds and yesterday a Chamber
lain man wagered W0 that' Governor
Chamberlain would be the next United
States Senator from Oregon. The bet
was quickly taken and there is still 300
more of Republican money offered whieh
eavs Chamberlain will not represent the
state In the Upper House of Congress.
In fact, so confident are some of the
anti-statement No. 1 men that they say
they will give odds, although no quo
tations were made.
