Reynolds My people are well to do and
have been taking ears of them.
Judge Well, It that la the case, you
might as well be In Jail, as the family
will not suffer by your absence, and I
don't think you would do anything for
them anyway.
Reynolds It Is not that. Judge; I want
to get eut and earn some money so I can
send them some trinkets for a Christmas

Judge I don't want to take advantage

President of the Port of
r Portland
And Contractor Wakefield Racked
' hf the Disfat
: : ; Attorney.
M. C. Banfield, president of the Port of
Portland connaissioa, was taken "clear
down the Una" yesterday afternoon during
bia testimony in the "Dry dock case,
which waa being heard before Judge
George and Judge' Fraser. " Mr. Banfield
had a hard row to hoe when Dlsrlct At
torney Chamberlain began cross-questioning
on tfca famous "executive session"
which he ordered when the contract to
build the drydocfc waa let to Robert
Wakefield.
One brilliant bit of testimony Mr. Ban-
field gave when asked the reason for the
executive session.
Well." said he, "I believe all that the
public should know is the result, and not
the means that bring about the result."
He went on. to say that he had been mis
quoted the day before by being accused
of whispering to Mr. Wakefield during an
open session. It might be inferred, so
aaany in the courtroom thought, that Mr.
BanfleM wished to do his whispering so
that the public could not hear.
The sum and substance of Mr. Banfield s
testimony was that the contract was let
to Wakefield because his bid was the
lowest, and that during the executive ses
sion there was nothing discussed but the
figuring on the top chords and the bottom
ones. By deciding that two pieces on
the top and three on the bottom would
do just aa well the board was Instru
mental In having Wakefield lower his con
tract (3,000, making It 12.000. Mr. Ban
field aald hie waa entirely Ignorant aa to
where Wakefield waa going to build the
drydock until after the contract waa let
Oscar Huber and w. H. Maxwell were
then called by the defense and testified
principally to the condition of the Willam
ette and Ita suitability r a drydock.
Nothing: -.-of .importance. . was. gained., by
their testimony.
SWIGERT'S TESTIMONY.
C. S. Swigert, a civil engineer and a
member of the Port of Portland, did bet
ter. He remembered all about the execu
tive session, but nothing of anything that
had been said about union labor. He did
aist know Just why the secret session had
been called, unless It was to discuss tho
chord proposition. He said he was also
at the meeting August Z6, when he heard
that the structure was to be built over at
Vancouver. . Ho said he considered It a
better place than on the Willamette be
cause the Port had engineers to make a
report on the two places and he took their
word for it. Mr. Swigert fell down, how
ever, When Mr. Chamberlain asked him If
It were not until after the preHent suit
had been brought that his engineers were
seA to wpxl.,.. 'Uae.witnesa aaJii. ."Xes. M.
ia so."
--. Otoe thing- more- Mr,. Swigert admitted
when asked pomtedly by the district at
torney the following question:
"Did you hear Mr. Wakefield say any
thing to Mr. Banfield at that executive
sesplon about labor ' unions, or In any
way discuss them?"
"I did not," replied the witness, "but I
suppose he did."
Col. John McCracken was next called,
but he simply reiterated the testimony of
Mr. Swigert.
WAKEFIELD'S STORY.
Robert Wakefield was the last witness
to testify yesterday afternoon. He went
into details about the executive session
and mystified everybody with chords and
trusses, and during some of the time one
would have thought he was a real advo
cate of union ljpr. He skipped all
places and pltfallf where lurked any dan
ger, but like Mr. Banfield he was glad
when "It was all over."
One remarkable feature of M. C. Ban
field's testimony was this: When he was
asked if he did not refuse G. Y. Harry and
Q. B. Thomas the privilege of looking at
the minutes of the executive session.
He replied that he had done so because
they came representing an organization.
Had they been cltixens he would have
shown the books. The witness said that
he would not have exhibited the minutes
had a body of trustees of a church sought
them. As a matter of fact Harry and
Thomas did not go In any official capacity.
The court took the case under advise
ment. .QHLX.IWELVE

Miss Annie Blanche Shelby Sug
gest a Way of Getting Them.
Miss Annie Blanche Shelby, formerly
of Portland, writes from Los Angeles,
asking why Portland should not put forth
efforts to secure tourist travel to Port
land, lu her letter. Miss Shelby states:
"Southern California, as you know, at
tracts a vast Briny of tourists In the win
ter reason. The number reached 60,000
last season, and It is estimated that the
present season will record twice that
number. Many of them come simply for
pleasure and as an escape from the
severe Rastern winters, while others
again come with a view to permanent
change of residence. Even In this event,
however, many of them return home be
fore finally settling their plans.
TOURISTS FOR PORTLAND.
"Now, why a fair proportion, ..J.leasJ,
of this vast army should not be induced
to return by way of Oregon, I do not
this accomplished, it would rest with the
Hoard or Trace, unamtxr or commerce,
etc.. to do the remainder. Just how to
go to work about this matter is, how
ever, the question in my mind. One plan
that has occurred to me Is to keep In
close touch day by day with the incom
ing arrivals this could be done by closely
watchlnjr the rejristers of the hotels and
principal rooming and bonrding-houses,
as well as the Chamber of Commerce
and send them by mall literature and cir
culars setting forth, In as catchy a way
as possible, the bf.-niflt and pleasure gen
erally which are to be derived from a
visit to th Northwest. The grandeur of
the Shasta route coukl be portrayed: the
scenii- beaut?- and infinite resources of
ortgon. Its climate, advantages, etc.
"For that matter. If tne Tourist Asso
ciation of Victoria would join you in the
enterprise. Victoria 'also might be rec
ommended as beinx Included In the itin
