AY- Koori -DUCII OF Popular Hotel Keeper of Pine Ar rested, Charged With Being Conspirator, With Widdowson, "Who Is Held for Slaying Val ley Rancher. (Speeiel Dispatch to Tns JimrMl. ) Baker City, Or Jan. vl. Tber wm another startling; development ln,tb Moody murder case yeaterday after noon whoa Ira. Brown, the hotel keep er at Pine, waa arrested charged with being ft fellow-conspirator of Alex Wld dowson, who la held at Baker " City charted with being th slayer of his former friend. WlUard Moody.. - . Brown waa arreated by Deputy Sher iff CaVlneaa, of Baker City, at hla ho tel In Pine. Apparently he waa taken completely by aurprls whan the officer made known- the object of ma visit. He refuse to make any statement After spending the night In the city Jail at Pine, Brown waa taken out by Caviness, and the pair atarted for Baker City. , Brown 1 fc -married man. and ha a wife and tw crown aona residing at Pine with him. He la well known Sroathour"PlneVaIley.and hla arrest caused nearly aa great a sensation as aia tnat or ai wioaowson, me most popular man In the community. The only thing; . which haa - aerved to connect Brown with the case, aa far aa the pub lic knew, waa the finding of. a revolver In his possession, which the prosecution declares waa the weapon with which Moodv waa murdered. ' -, Widdowson, who la In the county jail at Pine, "haa nothing to say regarding . Brown's arrest. He remains calm and -expresser htn" confidence' that he will be cleared of all connection with the mur- . der or hla old-time friend. It is not . probable that the murder case will come r to trial before the first of next week, as there are many witnesses to be sub . poenaed and they cannot .be brought -here"4nald of several daya. . CARD PLAYING S The first time I ever become -Irritable or lose my temper over a game of cards, that will je the last tint I play Cards. That would make it harmful, but I see "no display of such unwomanllness among my friends with whom I play a social game. "And one who can be thus Irritated could be affected In the same way in any game. . eTnst tot meaanr. "I play for. -pleasure, just as t read's, book or go .o the theatre, and either of these things might be approached In the wrong attitude ao as to make them ugly. With cards it la Just the same aa with wine-drlaklng. The Bible, telle ua tn tnkt'T-h-t 1- a""- vi fr" -" make beaats of ourselves. And In tha same way a player may make carda a matter of too much moment. Whist for a stake Is no worse than a game of golf for a stake, yet who ' would de nounce golf Just . because It is some times played sot I find carda a pleas ant and Innocent form of relaxation, and can see no reason why U should be de nounced " i :..-: Mrs. William . H. Heppe, however, gives reasons from her standpoint why carda should be tabood. -". "1 for my part don't, believe In card playing, ahe said. "Borne of ua might "not be narmeoVbuttrindg-wvtr-'tnflii . encea to others. Each must decide for himself whether or not It harms him, - but I could never allow It In my home. Cards are uaed In all gambling places and saloona snd places, of that nature and we cannot afford to use the same meana of amusement as are -employed in such places. It very seldom stops ' witrrrard playing at home, and many a young man who haa learned to play under hla own roof lias, ended in a -drunkard's grave. . - " ; - There Is a faacination about cards and "when the boy haa learned their us 'at home temptation la made easier for him. Other gamea do not - have , the aame-tendency because they are not used In the same places, and there are ao many Innocent forma af amusement 'that could be substituted for carda at home. I don't see how cultured, refined and Christian people can afford ' to -tamper with the tmplementa of vice. And Mrs. Jf. Whlteomb Brougber holds nract trail v the same idea, though she. ' too. allows each person tha prerogative of choosing. , what Kra. Brougher Thinks, have -never- oleved -carda." ahe said. "nr T waa hrnueht ud aa a minister's 'daughter. I believe that playing, for prises In any game la gambling In a 'small way, and prisea are moat often resorted to In carda... The chief evil la in aettlng an example' for the (young naonle at home. Even though you play only for pleaaure the temptation haa '"been placed in their wajr and when they -'go out Into the world It will be easy for them to go to gambllag - houses. F laying cams is nv muiv n i luiut .uu. other gamea. excepting - because they are used as they are. The associations "they, may lead to are their evil. Though ' many good people play cards I do not want my aona to know how." ,. w . ' -The members of tha . Woman's club .seem to And no harm In cards ss a rule. They are planning to give a large ! charity card tournament a week from 'Friday at the Elks' hall for tha. state educational loan fund that la being es tablished to help glrla wishing to go . through college, and the little tempest .in a teapot , doea not seem to, have changed their plana at alL , . . ... . kjm. iryna Johnson. ." "Card playing In Itself," said Mrap W. Wynn Johnson,' president of the , club, -'Is an Innocent pleaaure. When .a prise Is given-the harmful element istepa In, for players are likely to cheat to win It We are planning a large "" tournament for chalrlty, but we are go ing to give no prisea. We will merely spend a social afternoon. Carda promote) sociability. ..There may be more bene ficial ways of spending one's time, but all are not enducated to these ways wf do not care for them. Certainly card cluba are far better than the old-tlmt sewing circle, where malicious gossip was the chief topic for thought. Thla I gives the mind something else to think of and offers relaxation. If I am very 'tired I like to ait down to a game of cards, for It rests me." . ; Mays They're Ho marmfoJ. . . Dr. Mary Thompson of the club, who always holds 'decided vlewa presents the. same Idea, She aaid tersely: ' "Carda are not harmful. To spend whole afternoons at them may be harm ful. It.,1- harmful to play for a pris. I never aaw a dollar played for. When I waa practicing I played aa a relief. . t quieted me. It waa a recreation after overreadlng. Prises put the game next, door to gambling. The game can be per verted or be legitimate. ,. The Idea of gambling should be eliminated.; There U DROUH L100DY L10RDE1 Is too mm ti of it in our nation. Tho young mind euffera from it." Mrs. Stance llugue, who hns not played for a dosen years herself, said that she had not given the subject aurn clont thought to express an opinion, Hhe admitted that It waa chiefly from lack of time, -but ehe could not say whether she had any definite prejudices against the pastime or not. - 'Jrs, bU--oo Hot Prejudloed. Mra. Charles eitton of the sohool board aaid: "Certainly I have no ob jection to card playing If It la properly conducted. While I do not disapprove of It, I cannot think that it ia a mat ter of any great moment." "Although brought up under the strict blue Iawa, I do not see how any game played for pleasure oan be Injurious to any one," aaid Mra H. M. Clinton. "The line should be sharply drawn on games of any kind in which there Is the faintest trace of . gambling." "I enjoy card game very much,1 said Mrs. Charles E. Runyon. "A social game of carda will not Injure any one. Games In which gambling entera are not social gamea, but games of chanoe, and I do not believe any one should play them." "I do not play cards myself," said Mrs. Jamea F. Failing, "and do not care to express my opinion as to what other people should or should not do." ' Mra. Sylvester Karrell had not-read the news of Mrs. Sims' conversation' and was not prepared to expreaa an opinion. And so there seems to be no imme diate danger of a revolution among cardplaying circles here, unless a Port land Mra. 81ms will rise and In the same dramatic manner renounce 'her al leglance to the throne of the-king, the queen and the knave. . VAWTER LEFT (Continued from Page One.).' five madebythe Bourneme,n of the I uuiwoman delegation was tne nrsi 10 report the disappearance of Davey to Mr. Vawter, according to report. A tel egram sent by UrlscoU is said to hive been sent to Vawter telling him of the disappearance of Davey and asking that he jcome to Portland at once. Vawter will be in the city this evening. In an swer to repeated calls Sunday, and to day and tonight the Multnomah delega tion will- meet- with him,, and It la pos- alhla that tha Dnvav forces mav alida gation I ram uui county. - On Friday, last the Davey forces be gan " to grow restive over the . unex plained abaence of their chief and Satur day word was aent by them to the other wing of tha delegation who had pledged themselves to Vawter asking for a con ference and suggesting that It would be well for the Multnomah delegation to come together upon some county candi date and suggesting Frank F. Freeman, one of the Vawter column, aa a possi ble candidate who wouldbe acceptable to the Davey men. The Vawter people talked the matter over and put off any decision until Sun day, telling the other faction that , It would be well to get both Vawter and Davey together and have a Joint confer ence, at tha conclusion of which the entire, delegation would go to the man who made the best showing. The meet ing was put off until Sunday... i ; " teaks Out a Salem.' " - Sunday morning, however, the news leaked out at Salem that Davey was not to be found and the Vawter men held a conference lasting for the larger fpaTl of e-o!iy7"aTTne tt6Hr'6litTnsnm It waa decided to support Vawter first; last and all the' time. The five men of the Multnomah delegation who signed up unconditionally with ' the ' Med ford man at this time were Beverldge, Cna pin. Freeman, Northrop and Wilson. Karrell promised to stay with the rest of the men as long as they stood with Vawter, while, Beutgen made practically the same pledge. - J. V. Campbell Is also claimed by the Vawter men. The men who signed, however, dlds.sO uncondi tionally and will stay with Vawter whether hla way leads to victory or de feat The purpose of the Davey men In this county to now unite on a. Mult nomah, man for the. speakership meets with no favor at the handa of the five, or seven Vawtennen. They polntjto the time when they say there waa a tacit .understanding between the Mult nomah delegation - that . no , pledgee should be given until such times aa th delegation organised and decided upon a man. Before-thla time came, they say. the Davey men went to the Marlon county man five strong and pledged their support, after organising th dele gation and electing John Drlscoll chair man. . - - ' i . Promises atada by Davey. V ' In return for their pledges It 4m said that Davey promised four of the five chalnnanahlps on important . commit tees, so that when the other men began to consider Joining the Da vev ranks there waa nothing left for them but the honors which, usually come from unbiased loyalty. "Mr.- Davey met with the unpledged portion of. the delegation and frankly told them how the land lay upon which explanation they went to Vawter. en the ground, that the other portion - of , the delegation had not treated them fairly and aboveboard. A meeting of the Multnomah delega tion was called at noon todayin the office of H. H. Northup for the -purpose of considering. what the delegation would do. - No action was taken, how ever, but the meeting was adjourned until tonight, when Mr. Vawter will reach the city frem Med ford. It Is pos sible "that some compromise may be reached at this meeting which- will re sult in th entire Multnomah delegation going to Vawter In a body. If that happens, his election is assured.. - It is r-redleted -that a large number of votea among mi valley members, who were in reality - Vawter men, but who changed to the Davey column for spe cial reasons, will now change to Vaw ter since the disappearance of .

The extreme nervous condition of th woman yeaterday was such that In formation regarding - her - alster, for which she asked, waa denied her upon th physician's Inatructfons, and to pre vent a more serious physical disorder she was told that Miss Helms was also In the hospital, but that they could not see "eacir other for a short time. Mra Martin was taken to the hospital yesterday In a state of total collapse. The nervous shock of the tragedy In th parlor of her home, and the pain result ing from a-bullet wound in her scalp, brought on a state of hysteria and ner vous excitement of the highest pitch. Upon her arrival at the hospital she partially regained consciousness " and immediately begged to be taken to her sister.
