At Arlington Club He Decline to
Discos Appointment of Bristol as
1 United States District Attorney
Take Train for Washington.
T serve a term of six weeks in the
senate, . United' States Senator-elect
Prederlck W. Mulkey left this morning
for Washington City. He was the
unanimous popular choice to succeed
Senator . M. Oearln, appointed by Gov
ernor Chamberlain to - fin the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator 4. H.
MltchelL , .
Lte ' yesterday afternoon Senator
Mulkey rearhiM- rortlanr-rrom Salemr
where he delivered an address before
the'leglalature expressing; -his gratifica
tion at the ratification of the rxnnla'i
will by that body. He was given an In
formal reception by his friends at the
Arlington -club last evening-.
"Mr cnier concern.- bo said last
night, "will be to secure larger appro
priations for the waterways of Oregon.
The mouth of the Columbia river, the
Celilo falls and Coos bay are. In my
opinion, the most Important objects for
me expenditure or the appropriations at
this -time.- I shall exert myself to se
cure larger appropriations for those ob
jects as well as for other points in the
state which are also greatly In need of
runas." . - .
Senator Mulkey is heartily in favor
of free locks at Oregon City, He thinks
they should be owned by the govern
ment and operated "so that the people
may aenvetne benefit.
(government ownership ofthe WH
lamette locks Is the best and most -prac
tlcabls solution of that question.' he
said. "I am In favor of the government
acquiring possession ot the locks and
operating them -so that ths people may
be benefited. Free locks at that point
would be of Inestimable value to a large
section of, our state."
Senator Mulkey positively refused to
aiscuas the opposition in the senate to
the confirmation of W. C Bristol as
United States district attorney. It is a
matter which he has not followed in all
Its details, he said, and he preferred not
to express an opinion in regard, to It.
There : are no especial plans - which
the rew senator-elect proposes to carry
out during: hla term. - His term will be
brief, but the time will be devoted ex
clusively to. the Interests of the state.

Claims of the Defease. -
j Judge White, for the defense, calls
attention to the array of prosecutors
and the ' facts that -rewards of f 1.60i
had been offered to convict someone
of the murder of Willard Moody and
-that lKHi Martin,-a Portland detective,
has been employed to work on the caaa.
He makes the prediction that the state
ments purporting to 'be racts as made
by the district attorney will be .dis
proved by the testimony end --relates
the story ef the relations between Wld
dowson and Moody.
. He calls attention to the apparent
lack of motive for the crime on the
. part of Wlddowson and asserts that be
fore the end of the trial it will be shown
that there are other people .In Pine val-
y who 'bad equal ' opportunity and
eater motive for committing the
crime. He calls attention; to the faots
that Moody and . Wlddowson were the
nearest friends .and that Moody had
been In the habit of using Wlddowson's
saloon as a .barber shop and Wlddow
son's toolvfor his work, without pay
feint a cent for them,
. Activity Vot Snaptelona. -'
In the matter of the shots that were
heard he asserts that while shots were
heard Saturday night they , were also
heard Friday night and that such an oc
currence was common, as there waa
considerable ' hunting on the creek at
that point v - . .
r Ha states that the interest of Wld
dowson In the cass la not unnatural,
that hs was the first to notify ths fam
ily of the tragedy, that he covered the
dead man's face with, his handkerchief,
helped to dress the body and did every
thing that showed his tender feeling
for the dead man. Others visited the
bouse of Moody and Investigated his
belongings and the defense claims that
no significance cap be attached to that
point -
There Was no secrecy about the gun,
according, to ths defense, It was
loaned to Reed about an -hoar before
the tragedy was heard of and upon its
return by htm was loaned to Ira Brown
by Eddie Wlddowson, son of the de
fondant '

were torn loose In their sockets, tbst
he had a heel print ' on hla forehead
and that half of hla upper lip . add

THE VALUE OF uHARCOAL

Fieeeniag Xealtk and Scanty.
. -:'J Costs wotting to Try.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal la the safest snd most efficient dis
infectant and partner In nature, but
few realise Its value when taken Into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose ;
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of It the better; It la not a
drug- at all. bat . simply absorbs the
gases and Impurities always present In
the stomach snd Intestines and carries
them out of the system..
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and othar odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth sna rurtner acts as a natural and
sminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs ths injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; It
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of cstsrrh. '
All druggists sell . charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the beat
charcoal and the most for the money
Is In Stuart's Charcoal Losenges; they
sre composed or , the finest powdered
Willow charcoal,- and other . harmleaa
antiseptics In tablet form or rather In
the form of large, pleasant taatlng
losenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The dally uss of these losenges will
soon tell In a much Improved vendition
of the general health, better complex-
Ion, sweeter . breath and purer blood.
and the beauty of It Is, that no' possi
ble harm can result from their con
tinued uae, but, on the contrary great
benefit.-' - , -, . .
A Buffalo physician. In snesktng of
the benefits of charcoal says: ."I ad
vise Btuert's Charcoal Losenges to all
patients suffering from gas In stomach
and bowels, and to clesr the complexion
and purify - the - breath, ' mouth and
throat; I also believe the liver Is great
ly benefited by' the dally nee of them:
they cost but It cents a box at. drug
