(Journal Special Service.)
"Washington, Jan. 14. Senator Lati
mer of South Carolina mads a speech
.today In advocacy of his bill creating
'the bureau of highways and carrying an
v appropriation of 124,000,000. He said
this amount should be divided equally
between the states and territories ac
' cording to their population, the mlnl
; mum allotment being a quarter of, a
million to any state having less than
three-quarters of a million inhabitants.
' The bill further provides that any state
or territory , receiving ( such a benefit
'must contribute dollar for dollar from
her own treasury. The senator placed
the surplus in the government treasury
at $268,000,000, which he declared really
"" belongs to' the" people. He declared It
to be wrong to hoard the people's money.
He said It was not necessary to meet
, 'the public debt before i07' and all cur
" rent expenses had been provided for.
r He contended better roads were a na
' tional necessity, therefore a proper ob-
Jeet Of, national aid. As rivers and
harbors were improved, so should the
highways. He declared the average ost
of transportation per ton over a mile of
' dirt road In America was 25 cents, while
In Europe on Improved roads it was 10.
He denied ; that the government was
liable to be .bankrupted by the project
: and said a billion dollars would put all
the main, roads in good condition and
.. would require from the government but
$50,000,008 per year for . 10 years. rrl
MINISTER ON TRIAL

she struck the match,, but the recogni
tion came when she returned with her
father. There were no other men about
the house. Talbot had worked about the
farm off and on, but was not there that
night. She had seen Kennedy masked at
a. Christmas entertainment. The man
,, ner of the burglar was very deliberate
and gentlemanly.
The state Introduced a newsDaner cllc-
plng received anonymously looking to
- prove that the defendant had attempted
" to Intimidate the wltnesss, but the court
ruled It out as Kennedy could not be
' connected In any with the incident. On
cross-examination the witness testified
- that she did not know that the defend
ant was familiar with the bams of tier
father's place,

In the exciting - Kennedy burglary
case the state 1s represented by Pis
trict Attorney Harrison Allen and his
deputy, K. B. Tongue. The defense is
conv icted by x-statl Senator 8, 8.
Hue ton. local, and Judge H. IL Hewitt
of Albany, Linn county. Tongue made
' the opening statement for the prosecu
tion to the jury late yesterday, stating
that a burglary of the Warren resi
dence had been made early in the morn
' tnff of Tuesday, September 1, 1903; that
kinder, would . Identify Kennedy, whom
"he admitted was in Portland about S
o'clock Monday evening, August 81, and
' was seen again Tuesday morning about
8 o'clock, but that between those hours
-v he had a bicycle and had ridden to
Hlllsboro, committed the burglary and
' returned. "' i
'.. ' ,'. " for the Defense.
,, Huston, for the defense, briefly stated
.to the jury what he would be able to
prove. Hs client could not have oom- j
mltted the crime for the reason that he
was not at Hlllsboro on Monday night,
August SI, or Tuesday morning, Sep-1
tember 1. At that time he was In Port
" land. He had hired a bicycle, It Is true,
v but he used it In conducting his bust
' ness, that of accident Insurance solicit
ing agent: that starting after 7 o'clock
? Monday evening he went to St Johns,
lx miles or more down the Willamette
i river. In the opposite direction from
Hlllsboro and did not - return till 11
o'clock p. m., or afterward, that he was
known to have been In his room In the
Multnomah lodging house between 11
and II midnight, that he occupied his
bed that night, that. his wheel was seen
In the hall next morning as early as
o'clock and that It is a physical Impos
sibility to make a round trip from
Portland to Hlllsboro, a dlstanoe of 10
miles, in the night time oyer the moun
tains within the time claimed by the
prosecution. That next day, Tuesday,
he went , about his usual business as
fresh and cheerful as men do who have
had an unbroken night's rest.
' Ta Ones) Testifies. ;
The first witness to testify was Mrs.
Macklnder for the state. . She Is a res
ident of St. Helena, Cal., and at the date
of the burglary was a guest with E. H.
. Warren and his daughter, Miss Minnie,
The three, were the only occupants of
. the house on the night of the burglary.
She testified that she saw . defendant
Kennedy on the night of the robbery "as
sure as anybody could be." She was
first made aware of the presence of an
intruder by the odor of chloroform. She
. called to her hostess, sleeping In an ad-
Joining room, then she felt a heavy hand
on her shoulder when she cried louder,
"Minnie." Miss Warren went to her
friend and struck a match. By its sud
den glare, she saw the man. She ran ou
- of the room and down stairs ' crying,
"papa, there is a man in Mrs. Mackln
dor's room." . The burglar then stepped
- out of the room so that as he stood by
the door. she saw his outline with his
, pistol In his hand. She then reeog-
nlied him as the same man who had
killed the snake.

1UXIABLX STORE
A ONCE A YEAR ECONOMY FLURRY
WHERE SAVINGS FALL LIKE SNOWTLAXES
In the paths of our great public. This annual event which bears' at every
recurrence a vivid illustration of Olds, Wortman & King's leadership in
the gathering and distributing of merchandise is now at its height More
than ever, this year, is It typical of the progresslveness and forehandedness
the absolute mercantile mastery of this leader among stores. The news
papers all tell us that cotton is high higher than at any time since 1S7S.
They tell us that with the present "14c cotton," cotton fabrics must cost
half as much again. Well maybe. No one can telL 8o many things con
spire to put prices up or drag them down. We don't want to frighten our
public into buying now, but w must say, w know you may buy cotton
goods, of which undermuslins form so great a part cheaper now than next
May. Let other stores "Boo" at you much as they like; we simply say
again that here you'll find FOXT&AJrS'B FKXYCXPAX. ABU XdUfcOZIT

Stocks are vast but well ordered. The selling is tremendous the greatest
ever in all the store's long history of more than a quarter century of hon
est merchandising; yet you may buy here now as comfortably as though
this were mere everyday selling, with everything dearer than three years
ago. 'Our prices were never before so low. We quote today the lowest
prices on new, fresh, dainty, sanitary and magnificent undermuslins ever
- named by any houee on the Paclflo slope. Below are hints:
