. than a few hours after the thaw gets

The condition of the weather today In
the Columbia river gorge is but vaguely
known. There are no wires between
'Portland and up-river points, and at
' railroad headquarters . here it is not
, known whether .the thaw. has . set in
with sufficient power to open the flood
r gates from the Columbia's tributaries
along the illne of the O. R. A N. The
..' only report, on weather conditions up
river was received here today by the
United" States signal service, in a wire
fthat came- via Chicago, Salt Laka and
"' Ban Francisco. These advices said the
river banks were still frosen, the stream
open in the channel, and the tempera-
"furs stationary. .
J Passengers Beecmea.
The greatest difficulty confronted by
the railroad forces today is in clearing
away masses of snow, ice and earth.
It hat block the line at innumerable places.
-A stalled passenger train hear Wyeth
was yesterday rescued by General Su
perintendent Buckley's forces with the
aid of a rotary snowplow that had been
brought from La Grande. - The train
was backed te Hood River, where the
passengers were fed. The Alblna' ro
tary, which was started out of Portland
. Sunday to clear a passage to Bonne
ivllle, is sidetracked at Oneonta, without
power. With, two locomotives it was
'hurled there in a snewalide from .the
mountain side early In the engagement.
Wherever a locomotive and. work train
can be moved, forces of men are busily
rengaged.in clearing the right of way.
A locomotive was this morning stalled
: between slides at Shell Rock, and five
J other locomotives were reported' stuck
between Dodson's and Bridal Veil. It Is
thought some of this motive power will
fee liberated during the day.
'West-bound ' trains arriving from
Omaha and Spokane are being consoll-
dated at The IwUtee end nl Reek: It
Is thought ths management will concen
trate efforts to get the line cleared
.westward as far as Bonneville, and
there operate the steamers from- Port-
, land In connection with the trains east,
until the line can be restored between
. STroutdale and Bonneville.

TESTIMONY TOO STRONG
(Continued .from Page One.)
Albert Lee Thaw was asked if there
had been any Insanity In his family,
and said "Tea" The objection was that
the blood connection between the pris
oner and the defendant was too remote.
The Counteas of Yarmouth, Mrs. Car
negie, Mrs. William Thaw and Joseph
Edward entered while Jerome was
jpnlrlny M frr.t.fl Wy the pl-f-
oner,. who smiled faintly.
Mr. Delraas called Benjamin Bowman,
doorkeeper at the Madison Square thea
tre, to the stand. Bowman said he
knew White and Thaw, and stated that
In 10J White went to him after the
show and: asked if Evelyn Neablt - had
gone home. .
"I tl nlm yea," continued Bowman,
"and White said I was a liar, using
much profanity. I told him to go In
the stags door and see for himself. Re
turning, he drew a revolver and showed
it to me, saying .Til kill that be
fore daylight' " ' . ,
Bowman as Id the threat was aimed
at Thaw,
Oanaot Stand the Testimony.
Bowman' said that five days later he
saw . Thaw and .told . him ,of Whte'a
threat "White's face," continued the
witness, "was black with anger when
the threat waa made."-
The Judge, after Bowman repeated
the more obnoxious names that White i
was said to have applied to Thaw, told
the women present that If their sense of
propriety was disturbed they could
have an oooortunltv to leave Ihi rofltn.
f Mrsr-Carnegte and thecnrntesror TarH
mouth left but of over a score of
women In the court only five left
Mr, Jerome cross-examined and took
Bowman, over the details of his life
and examined him closely as to the ex
act details of White's threat subse
quent events, snd Ms connection with
the theatre, and his Ufa since then.
Mr. Jerome wanted to know if Bow
man had been promised any reward for
testifying. . .
- "I have not" said the witness.
The countess of Yarmouth and Mrs.
Carnegie returned while Bowman was
on cross examination. .
William C. Howard, a piano dealer.'
was called but was excused without
giving Important testimony, and he will
probably be called later. .
Martin Oreen, a newspaperman, tes
tified that ha was at Thaw's side Im
mediately after the shooting and said
that Thaws eyes were popping and Hps
hanging down. Attorneys were wrang
ling over the adrrllsslon of Green's
opinion as to defendant's Insanity when
the court announced a recess.
The fsct that D. M. Delmaa waa In
eharge- of Thaw's case snd thst-Mr.
Oleason was merely a spectator brought
the prisoner's hopes from darkness Into
light at the morning session. . An ef
fort to remove from the Jury's mind
the disastrous Impression of Dr. Wiley's
failure as an expert was made and was
partially successful. Bowman was a
good witness and Mr. Jerome couldn't
discount his testimony. It Is apparent
that Mr. Ielmaa plans to set before the
Jury clearly all the details leading up
to the tragedy before the attempt la
made to prove Insanity.
The court of appeals has held that
lay witnesses could state whether the 1
act of a defendant was rational or Irra
tional, and Martin Creea was recalled

Satisfied that the unknown, man who
was found dead yesterday morning In a
vegetable garden at Farrell's crossing
on the Vancouver tleotrto line did not
meet with foul play, as was at first

that an Inqueat-wtll' not be necessary

days, as no one has come forward up

exhaustion and exposure. The lacer

hands of ths deceased which led the
police and coroner to believe that the
case was one of murder, were undoubt

through which the man climbed.
Detective Price found tracks leading
from the scene of the- grewsome-find

distant. It is ths Uioory of the author

his way into the vegetable garden be

the barbs. Upon clambering through
the fence he Is thought to have walked
aimlessly through the garden, and over

that she observed ' a - man' conducting

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASED BY PERUNA.
UaCrippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.
THE disease now known as "grip"
used .to be called "Influenza."
It very closely rejremblea a cold, but
Is more tenacious In Its hold upon the
system and produces more profound
disturbances. ,
Grip is In reality epidemic catarrh.
When It once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from
each other, but each one catches It from
the atmosphere. - .

In speakjag of Peruna. Mr. Madison
ssyss . , ..-.:
"I am hardly ever without Peruna in
my home. It la the most effective medi
cine that I have ever tried for la grippe.
"It also cured my wife of nasal ca
tarrh. Her condition at one time was
such that she could not at night
breathe through her noatrlls.
. "In consequence, an inflamed condition-of
the throat was brought about,
getting worse 'and worse and yielding
to no remedy until Peruna waa tried,"-
Heal: by Mucous Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do at -eateh the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lunga.-'when In a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the Invasion of grip. -7
But. If there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal . derangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be ;
I romea an easier prey to the grip. '
This In part explains why some peo
ple get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do Is to keep
the system free from catarrh. In at
tempting to do thin moat people have
found Peruna to be Invaluable. . . '

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be need. The doses recom
mended on the bottle are sufficient
After the grip has once been acquired,
Dr. Hartman recommends the -use of
Peruna In teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fql-
