Ruef before the brief session adjourned Ruef. whose conviction has made lit tle change ln his outward appearance, chatted freely with friends and newspa per men before he left the courtroom. He spoke with bitter aarcaam of some of Vi articles nubllshed In local newsna- pers since his conviction and charged that the visit or Prosecutor Francla J. Heney to the courtroom a few minutes before he was adjudged guilty "waa ar ranged for dramatic effect." In this con nection he said: ' "I was advised by a friend that there waa a wagon, bearing notice of a meet ing of the League of Justice for that night, traversing the streets while the jury was deliberating. The visit of the late prosecutor to the courtroom waa ar ranged for -the dramatic effect it waa In tended to have. The jurymen upstairs heard the cheens and cries ln the street and courtroom and. fearing that they wotild be hanged if they did not convict, some of them changed their votes." Ruef expressed a belief that he would be admitted to ball after judgment had been pronounced and cited numerous Instances where courts had granted this privilege to defendants. He declined to state the exact grounds upon which motions for a new trial would be grant ed, and contradicted a report that Henry Ach Intended to withdraw from his defense. "Ach won't withdraw' until he drops dead." said Ruef. confidently. "Of course. If his health won't permit, he cannot appear. I know personally that he has lost thousands of dollars In fees since he assumed charge of my case early this year." FIGHTS FOR HER PICTURE "Woman Objects to Having Much Owned Representation Taken. Possession of a picture representing si scene In an Kngllsh court caused a quarrel which might have terminated erioualy yesterday when Constable "Wagner snd Deputy Kiernan sonsht to remove It from a rooming-house at Third and Burnside streets. A woman, who refused to state whether or not she conducted the piace, armed herself with a revolver and threatened to shoot any one who attempted to removed the picture. The rooming-house Is conducted by G. Dunn, who claimed ownership of the picture. It was also claimed by the proprietor of Erlckson's saloon, who sought the aid of the Justice Court and Constable to recover It. Dunn was absent when the officers called yesterday, but the woman, who seemed to be In charge, secured a re volver and held them at hay. She lay the weapon down for a few moments, however, and the officers seized it. They then carried the picture away, the woman standing by and swearing vengeance.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12. Warm praise for heroic work on the part of Engineer Wotherspoon and a French-Canadian diver named Micnot aboard the cruiser Yankee, while an effort was being made to tow the vessel to New Bedford after she had been cleared of Spindle Rock, is given ln a report to the Navy De partment by Captain Charles C. Marsh, of the vessel. Captain Marsh, after re citing that the airport was found open, says : Strives to Stop Leak. "Borne time In the early morning, per haps about 1 o clock, word came up that the air compressors had stopped , also the news came of the open airport. The latter Information was given to the engineer. He went below, and then sent for a diver. The behavior of these two men cannot go by unnoticed. The open airport was ln the stateroom on the berth deck, starboard side, next to the air compressors. Mr. Wotherspoon went into this stateroom and shut the door. He then tried to close the airport, got one dog partly In place and then hung np his lantern so as to use botn nanas. Trapped In Darkness. The light was blown out and he was left in total darkness. The pressure against the port was too great for him and he found himself in water up to his neck In this closed room. Fortunately the pressure eventually carried away the door and he waa thrown out onto me l berth deck. "In the meantime a Freneh-Oanadan diver named Micnot put on his diving suit and in darkness went down Into the sinking ship to lend his handi at closing the airport. The diving pump was vaa hv Mr. Wothersooon and one of the company whose name at this m I do not remember. Xo Greater Devotion. "Fr devotion to their work and for courage I know nothing better than these actions. Again word was brought to me that not only were the air compressors stopped, but that water through the air- nort had arone into tne nreroom. ei- tlnguiahlng the fires in our boiler-room, and hence all pumps were stopped." The ship later sank. She now resta up right in 45 feet of water. sheets were the finger prints of the murderer. The murdered woman had told her landlady that she had come from Santa Clara, Cal.

Murphy for attempting to bribe a prospective Juror ln the Ruef case retired at noon and had not agreed up to midnight.

OREGONIAN NEWS RCREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 12. Senator Fulton has served notice on Chairman Elklns. of the Interstate Commerce Commission. that he looks to him to fulfill the pledge given In open Senate last Spring that he would report favorably from his committee Mr. Fulton's bill, amending the Interstate commerce law so as to prohibit any advance ln Interstate rail road rates until the Commission shall have held such advance to be reasonable. Mr Elklns Is inclined to squirm, but Mr. Fulton says Mr. Elklns' pledge Is noted in the Congressional Record and, if there is any dodging. It will be in cumbent upon Mm publicly to remind the chairman of his promise. That promise merely guaranteed a report before the Christmas adjournment, and it looks now as though the bill, if re ported, will come out of committee the last day before recess. There are also strong Indications that it will be de bated at length, and there Is a disposi tion among the "railroad Senators" to filibuster It to defeat. F LOCKED ROOM HIDES GREW SOME MURDER SECRET. CALL FOR ESTIMATE OX LOCKS Fulton Will Try to Get Matter Be fore House. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec 12. Senator Fulton will en deavor before the holiday Tecese to secure the adoption In the House of his resolution calling on the War De partment for an estimate of the ex penditure necessary to acquire and re pair the Willamette locks at Oregon City. Anticipating the resolution, the War Department has prepared esti mates showing that about $800,000 will be required. As the State of Oregon has appro priated $300,000. it will be1 for Con gress to appropriate but $.00,000 addi tional. The engineers have their re port and estimates ready to submit to Congress whenever called for, and. if this report can be secured before the river and harbor bill is framed, it will aid materially in securing favorable legislation.

Dec. 12. With only the bloody finger prints of the murderer to assist them, the police today ae scouring the city for some trace of the man who committed what now appears to be one 01 the most baffling Crimea in the city's criminal history. His victim, the young woman whose body was found last night In a padlocked and barricaded apartment at 337 East Eleventh street, has not yet been identi fied, and a thorough search of the .rooms have revealed nothing which will aid the police in their task. Every distinguish ing mark had been removed from the woman's clothing, and pictures had been cut from their frames and burned, together with several pieces of paper which may hvt borne ad dresses. On every hand there was to be found evidence of the crafty care used by the murderer to baffle pur suit. The discovery of the crime came about through the anxiety of the Janl tress of the house to collect rent for the apartment, nearly two weeks over due. The man and the woman who occupied the rooms for more than two months, had paid promptly up to the first of the present month, but since that time the apartment had been closed, the door locked with a padlock on the outside, and neither the woman nor the man had been seen. When entrance had been forced, the woman's body, with the head almost severed, was lying on the blood-soakel bed. Under the woman's body lay a razor. Its edge hacked and broken. The con dition of the body indicated that the woman had been dead less man two weeks. On the door knob and on the GOLD STRUGGLE IS REAL During Melodrama Performance on Stage, Act Goes on Behind Scenes. There was a struggle for gold last night at the Star Theater, where "A Struggle for Gold" is being presented by Roy Carlysle and his company. The "Struggle for Gold" on the stage was mimic, of course, for it was a play; but the struggle for gold that was enaoted behind the scenes, where the audience couldn't see, was sordidly real and had little of tne elements of art. The characters in the mummer s "Struggle for Gold' are all printed on the programme, but the characters who participated in the real thing were Con stable Lou Wagner, Clara De Mar, an actress; Manager Carlysle and those other members of the company who could get away from the stage for a few moments. The cause of the trouble and coin scramble was a suit filed in tne Justice Court yesterday by Miss De Mar, a character actress, against Roy Carlysle, manager of the company, to recover $47.70 alleged to be due ln salary. Con stable Wagner served the attachment papers last night during the progress of the performance and caused a panic. The actors and actresses gathered about him in the dressing-rooms, de nouncing the woman who had brought the suit and caused the attachment proceedings. The audience, of course, didn't know what was going on be hind the scenes, and for a time there were threats of an abrupt end to the performance. However, the matter was finally adjusted and the play proceeded. PROSPERITY J,ND PIANOS A most significant indication, . not only of Portland s prosperity, but also of the high appreciation on the part of Port land's music lovers for the very choicest and best pianos Is the record at Ellnrs Piano House last evening after supper. Between the hours of 6 and 10:30 P. M. lejit night, in addition to numerous less expensive kinds, no less than seven of the costliest pianos were sold by Eilers Piano House, not one of which cost less than $750. Two magnificent Chickering Baby Grands; two $1050 and $1100 Weber Pianola Pianos: one mahogany Wheelock Pian ola Piano; a superb mahogany Weber art upright; AS very elaborate carved Kimhall exhibition piano, and the mag nificent exhibition style Story & Clark Piano ln the show-window were taken.
