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-

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

filibuster It to defeat.

Xew Tork Police Baffled at Tragedy
in Apartment House Head Al
most Severed From Body.
NEW YORK. 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

nificent exhibition style Story & Clark
