' 1 ROWLAND HELPED ' HENEY IN MELDRUM CASE r So Ho Kspocts to Receive Aid From tho Former Federal Attorney Present Incumbent Fins His Faith ; on Senator Fulton. John T. Paly, surveyor-general of Oregon, who 8 term or omco aspires on March 18, would lika to mwl some one who could tell him in advance whether 'he 1 to b reappointed to the orace. Mr paly himself bu had bo assurances froa tb Oregon delegation that thla will be done, and yet hie duties have been performed In. such a way that ha knows of noreeson wny ne anouia not be retained." T-"V ' ' Mr. Daly sums up the situation by Baying he knows no more about who will be the next lncum Dent or me posi tion than If he had never held the of fice. 1 "A reappointment or the appointment of my successor lies In the hands of Senator Fulton." he said this morning. but It "ne likely- that Mi. HHIlnn will take any action In the matter until after a conference with Senator Bourne, who takes his. office on March 4. I am on good terms with both, know of no - objection that either could rats against ma, but further than that know nothing regarding the matter. Wish I did, but we all of us ought to know soon after March 4." - While Mr. Daly is performing the du ties of his office here In Portland, his . chief clerk, John W. Rowland. Is In Washington, where It Is hinted he has a death grapple on some r wires which he believes will land him next month Into the office now held by Mr. Daly. Mr. Rowland, during the. trial of the : land fraud cases, stood very close to ii"ranceafJL-Jieney,who. conducted the prosecutions, and T. B. Neuhausen, and he rendered valuable assistance and In formation relative to the official acta of ex-Surveyor-General Meldrum. - It la said that through hla connection with these cases ha hopes to capture the plum, and he will probably remain in Washington until such time as IV be comes known who wtllbe "the incum bent" of the federal" office aurlng-the next foorVaara.-"- In the meantime Mr. Daly is not alarmed over the appointment, and among his friends it is generally stated that hla close, political association with Senator Fulton will in all probability be the cause of his retaining his pres ent position for another term.

' At the session yesterday they refused to remove E. C Roberts of this county; recently ap pointed, and place in his stead Cyrus H. Walker. A petition waa presented to the court signed by it fruitralsers and representing many of the leading hortlculturtsta of Linn county. " An at torney appeared in behalf of the peti tioners and contended Jhat . the former appointment , was not in accordance with law and consequently 'invalid. The court after fully considering the matter replied that .toe appointment of Mr. Roberts was made at the request of Mr. Paris, the state horticulturist end fralt inspector. The petition was denied and for the time being at least the present Incumbent seems to have the Inside track and may hold his place .permanently. 500-000 A Xv . -i: .:- :- ' :: I y y. 4 $1 I ' - , i i 1 JV - r 1 . ... 1 tf v.-.- ' . .

I told htm I was' driving In the park and aaw White. who aald. "Oh, Evelyn,' with a surprised look on his face. The next day I re ceived a telephone message from. White, asking to see me. I told him I would not see him. He answered, n la a mat' ter of life or death.' He came to the Hotel Savoy and: tried to kiss me. i I would not let him. ' ."White spoke about Harry,' continued Evelyn, "and said that a great many actresses told him that I naa Been abroad with Thaw. He said that Thaw waa a mornhlne fiend. . I told him I did not believe it. He insisted that Thaw took morphine. White said that Thaw was a bad man and that I ahould have nothing to do with Mm. After that he came to see me constantly. White made an arrangement with mo to sea Abraham .Hummel to protect me from Thaw. ' 1 White Upon Xammtl "White said that Abraham Hummel waa. t" '.ll.-k f lawyeje in-New-york. but that 1 must not be frightened at him. because he was a damn fool with a large head, and warta all over hla face. I went to Mummers ornce. White took me. I met Hummel and we talked about Harry Thaw. I told him of my trip abroad and the difficulties of my mother wit Thaw. He aaked me where I had been la Europe with Thaw. HttmniBT' said "that I wae a minor and that fact would make it- very bad for Thaw. He told me many things about Thaw. ,. Said ... Thaw was very bad and that he had a case pending against Thaw, but tnatr the woman tn the case was no good, and that probably the case was no good. He showed me ' the woman's signature and said that Thaw must be kept out of New York, even If he had to resort to strong methods. He called another man into a room and dlo- tated to him. I was very nervous and Attorney Hummel told me not to in terrupt him. White Dictated Statement. "White atarted off dictating, aaylng that I had been carried off to Europe by Thaw against my will. I tried to atop him. .but he shook his head. He went on: and said that I had been kept away from my mother and ill treated, which was not true. Hummel asked me If I had any. letters from Thaw. I told him that I had. I took them toilra and Hummel said that he would ' holdthee- letters- over Thaw's bead. He put these letters in. a. private safe. .... ,- . C .. . I saw Hummel again and he asked me why I did not sue Thaw for breach of promise. - I told him It would be ab surd. Hummel said. ' There's lots of money in it. and the advertising will be good for you.' Bid Wo Want Advertising'. T told him that I did not want ad vertising. He said that lots of ac tresses did It, but that it was nothing serious. - He sstd that an English duke had beenjraed by an actress." Del maa Intervened, "Did - Thaw ask you if you had signed any paperaT" "Yen, i told nun i naa not oeen asxea to sign a paper and had not signed any. Thaw then said that Trammel was a blackmailer and a shyster lawyer. Re lating further her meeting with Tbaw, the witness said: "Thaw said I should not speak to Stanford Whit and said that I was ac cused of improper relations with him. I said that It Is a lie. Thaw said that people would think I was a blackmailer, because I went to Hummel's office. Thaw said It looked like blackmail to him." . . . "Whn did you sea White again!" the attorney Inquired. "One night White came rushing into my apartments at the Hotel Navarre, greatly excited,. He aat on a trunk and asked me "what did you tell Hummel about meT I told htm I had told Hum mel nothing. "White, ssld something must be cured of the Mr. 1 S AGO. j wrong-. He aald "Hummel just aqueesed 11.009 out of me. There is no telling when he will soueeaa another.' -'- Evelyn said Thaw again aaked her if she had signed any papers for Muramei and ane replied she had not. She did recall algnlng a paper in the Madison Square Qarden tower for wnue. She aald ahe called White on the tele phone and asked him about It White put bar off, aba said, and finally ar ranged that ahe ahould aee Hummel again. ,i , ' Witness said aha was ahown a paper with her signature on it but the signa ture waa all aha could see. one saia Hummel took a match and burned the Doner in a lardlnlere. Witness aald she married Thaw on Anrll a. l0i "Did you still persist In refusing, him to thla time, and whyr Wasted to Save Xasbaad. "I told him I wanted to save his reputation: that many people knew about White end that' my marriage to him would be sure to hurt .him with bis family. I knew It would be a good thing for me, but I. cared so much for him that I didn't want to 'injure nis reputation." "After your marriage, how wera you received in England?" .; "Very pleasantly by the Countess or Yarmouth. "Did Mrs. William Thaw ever viait you In New York before your mar riage?" ' "Yea: several times." - "After 'your marriage "did White try to approach your "Yea; I paaaed Mrri on. Fifth avenue- White held out hla hands and aald. "Evelyn.' That was all then. Thaw made me promise faithfully to tell' him If White ever tried to speag to me again. . I kept my promise. White Pursues Xer. "Some time after, while riding down Fifth avenue en route to the office of a doctor on Thirty-second street. I saw White in a hansom following my han som. I rsn up the doctor's steps, but was so nervous I ran down again and lumping Info the hansom ordered the driver to drive as f aat as possible to the Hotel Lorraine." "Did. you ever tell Thaw why White sent you to school In New Jersey while you were on tha atageT" - "Yea, I told Tnaw tnat jaox Barry- more, who was In-the same company with me, . bad asked me to visit his apartments alone, that I refused and that White became very angry and sent me away to school." At thla. point Delmas asked an ad journment. The judge announced that Inasmuch as the Jury waa being held together, he would hold court next Tuesday, despite the fact that it was Lincoln's birthday. A receaa was then taken. , i t m r, .-: s- """ ACTRESSES ARRESTED District Attorney Jerome Pinches Chorus Girls. -1 New York, Feb. S. District Attorney Jerome disbelieves much"'of " Evelyn Thaw's story, particularly- that of her seduction by drugged wine, but even if he proves it wholly false he must leave lta legal statue the same, as the jury will be instructed -only to determine if the story, if told to the defendant, would contribute to his mental un soundness. Jerome early this morning bad ar rested Masts Follette, Anna Crane and Edna Chase, chorus girl friends of Eve lyn, and is looking for Hattta Foraythe and 'Paula. Desmond." It is expected these' witnesses will testify to relatione between- Evelyn . and Stanford White after tha alleged seductlov. Delmaa and McPlke, two of Thaw's attorneys, announce they will not re turn to San Francisco after the trial. They havo leased a suite of offices In this city. Delmas fee is sal to bo the largest aver paid in any criminal cast In this state. Dr. Simpson Acquitted. Rlverhead, I I.. Feb. I. Dr. James Simpson haa been acquitted of the charge of murdering hla father-in-law, Hartley Horner. Well Fitted "Colonel a ansa way China wants to go to the senate."

'V- - Mr. W. A. Staggr 1063 Pacific Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., who is vig orous at the age of 73, has been several times of grip by Duf fy's Pure Malt Whiskey taken as prescribed and has also been saved by its use from the bad after-effects disease. Stagg writes: "For thirty years DUFFY'S. PURE MALT WHISKEY has been my one medicine. I have al ways used it as prescribed and ' it lias proved a valuable aid, as it has not only cured several attacks o grip but has pre vented any bad after-effects.' I cannot speak too highly of what DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY has done for me, and will always keep it to stimulate and tone up my system and as a sure cure for colds and grip. Although 73 years old, I km hale and hearty, due to the judicious use of DUFFY'S' PURE MALT WHISKEY." ' 1 IS. J IA 0 TINSEL ' (Continued from Page One.) sary, voiced it very gently, hla words oeing scarcely audible a few feet eway. Through all the ordeal Attorney Del maa, who guided Evelyn through - her terrible narrative, did not lose mastery ot hla voice or countenance, but with a. kindness and courtesy which impress ed all who were present and soothed and encouraged Mrs. Tbaw, he put ques tions that brought out her story In the most effective way. court orrioers. newspaper writers and everyone els accustomed to trial scenes and to exhl bltions of human grief were as strongly affected as other listeners. ' Hearing her testimony, despite the extraordinary experience about which the frail wit ness told. It was easy to believe her. ' A Miracle of Self-Ooatrol. Painful as was the situation, aha bore herself mors calmly than thoa on whoso ears ths account of White a De ri a vl or and .her own sufferings fell for the first time. Most of the time she was on. j the stand she held back her tears and spoke In a clear, sweet, level voloe. which reached everyone .in the room. Long familiarity with the events she wss describing had perhaps dulled their edge for her. . Whenever she did break down she recovered hr composure in less Urns than the sympathetic as semblage would have been willing to accord her and this behavior added to the impression of her sincerity and candor. It was hard for thoae who heard to keen their own emotions In check and they aurmlsed how difficult It was for her who moved them so to maintain- self-con troL A Charnar sTouaf"6f Sonls. 1 It waa not alene pity for thla woman, almoet atlll a child in appearance and manner, which stirred the depths of feel ing In tha orowd. - Although Evelyn Neo blt Thaw's story was essentially that of a woman who had Buffered, there waa a broader touch to It that iropreased thoae who heard It As they listened to her words many felt Instinctively that ahe had rubbed ths tinsel off that world of gaiety of which ahe. her husband and Stanford White had been conaptcuoua membera and that she hsd revealed the graveyard of ruined womanhood that lay beneath tha sparkling crust of her ap parent happiness. She stood forth as only one of the Innumerable victims oJF the artificial world of wtitcTl she told, but the. picture of misery she presented stirred the Imagination Snd the . mind shuddered as It contemplated the mass of Soul wreckage from which shs came forth to tell her story to- the world. Such almost nun-like Innocence was ex pressed by her exquisitely modeled face and large, limpid eyes that people won dered how . shs could have passed through all that ahe described and yet retain such In 'attractive virginal' aspect' ; T Jarymea Devour Set Story. The effect of her appearance on the Jury , waa marked. Not one of .tha4X men in the box ao much as dropped his eyes from her face. Not one lost a word that shs spoke. Not .one missed any gesture she made. The Jurors, like the spectators, watched every move ofi her llpa and noted when they trembled aad when they contracted. Every de tail of her appearanoa -was seised upon by aU obaervers, and it was seen that the beauty of this famous model waa a trifle less when she was speaking, as her mouth then seemed larger and not quits ao regular as when in repose. 1 When she spoke two rows of very white teeth were shown. She said aha was 11 years old,' but she did not look over IT. notwithstand ing ths vies of which shs was the vic tim. ' At.rtoon, when Justice Fltsgerald or dered a recess, earlier "than usual, to relieve the Strain she waa under onthe witness stand, Mrs. Thaw aat for sev eral seconds dased in her chair, and then a court - officer helped her down and escorted her to the witness room. Shs ate luncheon with her cloas friend. May MacKenkle. V , Xn ths Haunts of ths Satyr. Both in the matter and the manner of its telling, Evelyn Nesblt Thaw's story sounded more like some chapter from a sensational novel or an act from a melodrama than coldly transcribed testimony taken under oath In a court of law. It aeemed to lack nothing of the fantastic embellishments which one associates with hectlo fiction rather. than with twentieth century real Ufa In New York. She told of mysterious doors In the late architect's Twenty fourth studio which opened at the touch of unseen hands and of strange private atalrwaya leading to Inner re cesses of tha place to which she aald the architect lured her when she waa It years old, "with her hair hanging down her back and her frock not below her shoetops." ' . How Shs Told of Xer Sham. ' J With face as colorless as alabaster, with never a flush of color in her comely oval face, ahe told of her Visit to such an upper' room, accompanied only by the architect, who had taken her under his guidance, as he said, to show her some of the beautiful paint ings and rare antiques and ourloa with which ho loved to surround himself. With downcast head, yet seemingly almost unabashed and in tones loud enough to be distinctly heard by tbe too men and women who aat In oppres sive silence, this slip of a girl, for shs looks, even now, more like a schoolgirl than s wife, described the single glaaa of champagne pressed upon her by her host and then ensuing dlsslness, loss of .consciousness, oblivion. . . S almas' 0reat Oonp. She testified under oath that she told these things to Harry Thaw In ltoa, two years before she was married to him. She waa not under oath when she narrated these thlnes to him. As a sworn witness she merely testified to a conversation with him In 190J and told her story to the Jury as a repetition of what she had told Thaw. Thla waa Itself one of the cleverest pieces of work Delmas haa done. .Dis trict Attorney Jerome la hobbled. It Is difficult to see how he can attack the testimony of Evelyn Nesblt . - He cannot enter into Investigation or cross examination of the truth of her state ments to Thaw. - It was a day of surprising progress for the case of the defense. Practically the only serious rebuff,suffered by Del mas was his failure to get In evidence the contents of s myaterlous note writ ton by Evelyn to her husband when ehe saw Stanford .White enter the Cafe Mar tin S few hours before Thaw killed him. That letter WU1 come later. NEW BRIDGE (Continued from Page One.) cause It Is wholly Inadequate for the traffic it is new required to accommo date. "The bridge waa not Intended ' for any such traffic as it Is required to carry," said ' Commissioner Llghtner. "The business has grown too big for It. Tha bridge is only 40 feet wide. The new bridge should be at least 0 feet wide and should be built straight across ths river. It would only be a matter IBB of economy to build a new bridge at onoe." f Waiting for lrsh Olnba. ' The oommlsslonere say that they have so far made no plans to have a bill Introduced In the legislature providing for a new bridge, and that they know of no movement looking toward that end. They said that they had expected some of the eaat side push clubs to take the matter up and expressed sur prise that thla had not been done. Rob or t Wakefield, the builder of the bridge, will Inspect it this afternoon. SUFFER FROM COLD Continued from Page One.) poor conditions which they encountered on the 10-day trip. - At times the ther mometer was (0 degrees below sero and the cold condition of the cars caused great discomfort to tha pasaenirers. Mrs. Clarke aald that ahe with the Other 'paasengers aaw cattle frosen in their tracks on. the great anow-covered Canadian prairies and saw the hungry wolves pouncing upon the poor dumb beaata and tearing them (to pieces In ravenous hunger. j - Deadly Tear of Oold. ' At tlmea ahe feared that she and her little girls would not survive the cold. At times did the fear grow so strong upon her that shs would wakan her children as they lay in their benumbed, half-sleeping condition to assure, her self that they had not already frosen to death. She said that other woman with children on the train passed through tha same experiences and were on ths verge, of., hysteria because of their suffering. - , Mrs. - Clarke would have arrived in Portland last Sunday ttght had the train been on time, and the travel with its inconveniences, the care of her lit tle children, and tha poor quality of food which was given to the pas sengers, left her all but slck and she and her children are 111 today as the result of their journey. .
