Insanity Savet Him, or Nothing ' Can Hit Father' Char- - acter Assailed. " - r . (Special Dispatch to The Joarmal.t ' Spokane, Dec. 4. On the second day f the fourth week of the trial of Bldnev Sloans. charged with Ufa murder of hit . father, the prospect la that it wUl be ai ieaai another week before the case ; will be readr to go to the Jurr. the - defense still bavins a larga number of ..'witnesses to examine. The state ! expected to Uke up at least a day In t rebuttal. More than two dosen wit . nesses havs already been examined In .'an effort to show that the boy has from babyhood been different from other ( children. It has been testified that he thief; had no realisation of right and wrong; believed be had great capital . and was seine to perform wonders with ,lt; at one time Imagined he was a deml . god and appeared in his mother's parlor .in a nude, condition in the presonce of a number of ladles; showed a great in ' fatuatton for the leading lady of a stock , company several years ago, and made mmselt sonspleuoua by - attentions.' Every act In his life which appeared .scoentrie In any way has been presented to the jury in such a light as to lndi , 'eate that the boy might have been In sane, but In almost every 'case the wit ,Bess has not testified that the' actions . of the boy created an opinion of insanity at the time ther were committed. The .'attorneys for the defense, however, are making a remarkably strong defense. f ' T Attack am Tlotlm's Character. .' . i A. feature of the case which was en .. tirely unexpected is the attack, which -has been made upon the murdered man - In the effort to show thst the insanity 'of the boy was hereditary. The mur dered man, James F. Bloane. had been a 'resident of Spokane for many years and had been at the bead of the big Bloane ' Pains Grocery company. lie was a prominent business man. connected with the Spokane chamber of commerce, and waa,-iionored and respected. The sur- prise was great when counsel for the ' 'defense announced in his opening state : ment that he would show the murdered 'man .Instead of being a respectable , citizen, was a drunkard, a man of for mer vicious habits, and had been un balanced to such an extent that It had affected his son. Testimony has been introduced to the ' effect that ' the elder Sloan was not : only a hard drinker but that he was . incapable of attending to his business affairs and for-several years hsd.en trusted them to his -subordinates.

The local railroad officials have done little to counteract this sentiment. They hsve announced that their com panics have made large purchases of freight cars., but as .every other rail road In - the country la said to' have ordered, ths building ' of-thousands of freight cars In the next 11 montns. there is no assurance that ths car fac tories will be able to deliver cars to Pacific northwest roads In ths next II months, . unless strenuous measures are taken.

Situation at Vressnt, ' As the situation stands today In Ore gon and Washington, ths factories have taken 'their traveling men off ths road, dismissed portions of their working forces, shut down to half time and are selling only to local trade; the lumber mills are working half time and many of 'those in the interior, where water shipments are Impossible, have shut down and dismissed . all ' hands; ths farmers are standing by while their products are spoiling and they ars pay; Ins interest on money rast due. ' ' There are various reasons why ship pers in this state believe the railroad management' is not making properly er fectlye. efforts to relieve the situation. Farm products that ordinarily are sup plied from this state to certsln states in the southwest are being carried to those market- from other directions. Manu factursd products ' that have been bought - here by distant 'markets and should bo delivered by the Southern Pa- clflo, are being refused cars for trans portation, while similar goods are be ing delivered from the east to the ter ritory In question. Southern California producers have had no trouble to gat cars to send their products to market. while Oregon producers ars unabls to get a single car. .' Other Sections Bota Well. While the sltVtage of car supply here is most acuta, other and comparatively unimportant sections of ths Ilaniman railroad territory seem to be getting along fairly welL Even in Mexico, where Harrlman has recently been push ing construction of his railroad lines. ampls car service Is furnished. Captain Ackermsn of the steamer Manchester Fort recently arrived In Portland har bor, reports having seen 0 Oregon Short Line freight cars sidetracked at Ouaymss, a Mexican port. , ' Nearly every Oregon farmer has bay, oats, potatoes or other products to sell, end theee ars -no cars to be had for shipping those produots to market, al though ths highest prices now prevail, and It is very Important that ths prod ucts should be sold. If ths Inability to get cars continues It will mean bard times for a very large and important class of Oregon's population. CROWD EXPECTED Thought That Many . Will Attend the ...'..

Csv Shortage Delivers Baker Olty Into State of Fuel Taenia, e Baker City is also in ths grasp of ear. shortage and consequent famine In fuel, according to Senator J. N. Hart, who Is tn Portland attending the meet ing of the executive committee of the Water Users' association now strug gling with the irrigation code to be given to the next session of ths legislature. Baker City people are doubly unlucky on account of the fuel famine for the reason that the weather has been quite cold and the ooal bins are practically empty In every part of town. There Is but on Una of railroad, ths O..R. at N., and ths people are compelled to rely upon It alone for what little relief they are able to get "The car shortage Is serious in Baker county " principally on account of -the lack of coal." said Senator Hart this morning. "Baker City has no means of relief, as there Is-but on line of rail road and the people are at its mercy. It Is Imposslbls to secure coal, at least In sufficient quantities to meet the de mand, while at the same time the O. R. at N. will not furnish cars to haul ths wood out of ths mountains fsst enough to relieve the conditions. There is a little wood in Baker City, but It Is searo at best and the conditions are serious." According to Senator Hart. Baker county's members of ths legislature have not been reached by the organisa tion fight as yst and' ars still free to vote for any man as president of the senate whom - they may later declds upon; Nslther have they any particu lar hobby In pending legislation unless It be sympathy with ths proposed irri gation code and the enactment of a mining law creating the office of state mining commissioner. ..-.. y tin, ' raor. t. k.

"Personally, I can aay that I desire some railroad legislation." Benator Hart said, "and It may be that the railroad commission would be the best solution of the question. I havs not paid ths matter- the attention I wish to before deciding, but I incline to the commis sion idea. Something . has to be don to guard against such conditions as are now - prevailing.
