elusion reached by the lawyers for the
defendants In the capltol graft cases.
Every one of the 82 cases against the 14
defendants is on a different basis. Un
less they work together, the defense of
one of the accused might Injure the de
fense of another. Under the circum
stances, the defendants must stand to
gether for their mutual benefit
A general conference or the lawyers
for the defense is to be held soon to
outline a plan of action. An attempt
waa made to do this at their conference
yesterday and failed because all of the
lawyers were not familiar with all the
details of the individual cases.
The result -wss the lawyers who were
in court yesterday lor tne defendants
were -compelled to consent to the plan
suggested .by Attorney-General .Todd,
That plan was that the trials should
begin on. January 27 and that the de
fendants should enter pleas of not
guilty to the indictments.
The entering of these Dlease will force
the defense to go to trial on January 27
and shut off all motions for delay and
prevent the usual dilatory tactlca em
ployed In cases of this kind.
ljawyers ror tne nccusea are just be

They are now convinced that the
state has strong cases against every
one of the defendants, and that they

The scene rapidly changed from the
comical to the pathetic and baok again

Talbot. "I told her that my one desire

Washington, Oot 16. Aa anticipated
by many naval officers here, the At
lantic battleship fleet has returned from
target practice off Cape Cod bay badly
shaken by the firing of the heavy guns.
Reports are coming fast to the depart
ment of the damage done to the Indi
vidual ships, and there Is some appre
hension that the navy department's idea
to have the fleet in prime condition by
December 1 may not be realised. The
tructural weaknesses in parts of the
hips, which seem unable to withstand
the vibration caused by the gun firing.
Is again forcibly brought home. It Is
believed considerable additional work
will now be necessary in case the fleet
is to be started out on a war footing.
For some time the firing or heavy
guns has caused trouble to the depart
ment. The bureau of ordnance has been
kept busy repairing guns which have
given way or cracked or had their
muzzles blown off, and- the bureau of
construction and repair has repeatedly
been called upon to remedy damage
done to the decks and other portions
of the ships after target practice.
Tne Daiiiesmp Missouri oy nring ner
aw turret guns at once at level re
cently damaged the deck so that more
than $1,000 had to be expended to re
pair it. Now the Ohio is damaged and
a crack has been discovered in the
powder chamber of one of her 12-Inch
guns, which may cause the department
embarrassment. The' gun may have to
be replaced, which spens dirncuity, as
there are few of these guns on hand
nd It will be mrncult to get the work
done In the allotted time.
Both the Kearsarge and the Kentucky
have returned from Cape Cod with their
8-lnch guns out of line, and both ships
are rather badly shaken up. These
8-lnch guns must be removed from the
turrets and placed parallel and other
damage must be repaired. The Massa
chusetts is having her 6-tnch batteries
removed at the New York navy yard,
and it is announced at the navy depart
ment that she is not to carry her 6-lnch
batteries when she starts for the Pa
clflc. Whether this is due to damage sus
tained recently Is not divulged. The
order to remove the 6-lnch batteries
was only approved today. The Rhode
Inland is having work done on her
8-inch turrets. It is believed that prac
tically every ship which participated
In target practice will need additional
work as a result of the shaking up
caused by firing heavy guns.
At the bureau of construction and
repair, navy depnrtment, it has been
explained that the decks are In some
cases too weak to stand tha vibration
caused by the heavy firing and that
damage must necessarily result. It Is
explained that this Is not unlooked for
and causes the bureau no annoyance.
Secretary Metcalf is adopting drastic
measures to have everything in readi
ness aboard the battleships of the At
lantic fleet before they start for thej
Pacific. Repairs are to be rushed with
all possible speed, omcers in command
are ordered to report immediately any
defects in their whips and the depart
ment is to devote additional and con
centrated attention to the question of
retting all repairs done in time for get
ting the battleships in first-class condi
tinn rv uecemoer i.
Fearing difficulty, Secretary Metcalf
today directed that no alterations of
any kind be authorized for any of the
ships, so that the men at the navy
yards could devote all their time to the
most necessary repair work.
a Demands for repairs are coming in
Phicic and fast. The Connecticut. Louis
tana. Vermont and Kansas have askod
for steam engineering wont, ana many
of the battleships returning from tar
tret nractlce have notified the navy de
partment that more work is needed than
they anticipated. This has led Secre
tary Metcalf to order that repair work
be rushed.
The board of directors of the T. W.
C. A. held their regular monthly meet
ing yesterday when reports from all
branchea of the work were heard. The
financial report given by Mrs. H. C
Campbell, vice-president, ahowed a sat
lsfactory condition of the finances. 8he
reported the receipts from various
sources $1,555, which with the net bal
ance on hand September 1. $1,091, gives
a total of IJ.64S. Expenses for the
month were $2,811, leaving a net bal
ance of $m.
Miss Constance McCorkle, general sec
retary, submitted a report showing what
had been done during the summer and
outlining plana for the fall. At the
Qearhart camp maintained by the asso
ciation, 86 girls were oared for. A
feature of Miss McCorkle's report was
the change which has been made tn the
dining-room at the association rooma.
Formerly it was on the restaurant plan
and the girls were served by waitresses.
It haa been changed -to a cafeteria, at
which the girls help themselves, and it
Is thought that this will bring in many
mora girls who wish to bring their lunch
with them, adding to It a cup of tea or
bowl of soup. It has been found entire
ly practicable so far, and It girls were
served there yesterday.
Educational Work Progresses.
The report of Miss Mary Day of the
educational department showed tne num
ber of enrollments at 78. A department
of social art has been opened under Miss
Bernlce Waring, formerly of Rochester
Mechanlo institute. In this class 37 are
now enrolled and much Interest li
shown. The class in English for for
elgn girls, and the class of good English
for business girls are both growing rup-
laiy.
Miss Day haa charge also of the re
llgious work and she reported In that
department a steady growth in tne mem
bershlp of Bible classes and in the
Wednesday and Sunday night services.
Although the classes have been open but
two weeks, the attendance is almost
equal to the highest mark reached last
year.
The Traveler's Aid department under
Mrs. Lola o. Baldwin and the employ
ment bureau, also under her charge,
were reported to be doing as large a
work as at any time. During the past
month 102 girls applied tor work, and
over half of these were placed In perma
nent positions. Sho said that the de
partment is making a strong effort to
persuade the girls who apply for work
to take domestic employment Instead
of that In stores and factories, believ
ing that the girl In a home has a better
and more profitable place.
Twenty foreign girls who arrived dur
ing the month were aided; 61 girls who
arrived at the depot and found no one
to meet them were cared for; 6 emer
gency cases were cared for at the emer
gncy hospital maintained by the asso
ciation at the union depot.
Secure xany Positions.
During the past nine months 272
Swedish girls bearing travelers' aid
cards have been brought to Portland
and placed In positions. It was due to
the efforts of the Traveler's Aid depart
ment that H. II. Hiftley was commuted
to iall for Immoral work.
Present at yesterday's meeting were
the following members of the board of
directors: Mrs. l. H. Amos, Mrs,
Charles Basey. Mrs. W. H. Beharrell,
Mrs. H. C. Campbell, Mrs. Helen Card-
well, Mrs. J. T. Grey, Mrs. Robert F.

W. J. Honey man, Mrs. Jacob Kamm,
Mrs. W. S. Kinney and Dr. Sarah White
sides. In the evening at the association
rooms the first of a series of entertain
ments under the educational department
was given for members only. An audi
ence which filled the rooms and over
flowed into the hall showed the interest
which this feature commands. Dr.
Frank Caasaday read two scenes from
"The Merchant of Venice" and Miss
Delta Watson sang three Shakespearean
songs In a delightful way. These aieet
ings will be held monthly.

ST. PAUL COUPLE HAVE
ILL-LUCK IN PORTLAND
,J. W. Crouse was robbed of a purse
containing $66 and two return railway
tickets over the Northern Pacific to
St. Paul since arriving in Portland last
night. Mr. Crouse and wife came in
last nlght over the O. R. & N. and
registered at the Imperial He remem
bers having, the puree about an hour
before reaching Portland, but upon wak
ing up this morning found it was gone.
He thinks that either his pocket was
gleked at .the Union depot or that a
urglar entered his room last night and
went through hla clothing.1
Ing, Carpenter and Day, contend that
Mayor Lane exceeded his authoritv In
dismissing them from service.
Mayor Lane ordered the men dis
missed in , August. 1906. The de
tectives took the case Into the courts,
which held that the charges were not
specific and- therefore held the city
name ror tne men s pay from August
1906, until July 1 this year, when
Mayor Lane filed new charges of in
subordination, inefficiency and incompe
tencv against the men.
The courts also dectded the detectives
were entitled to $3, 600 as salary for th
time theya were under suspension and
the committee will probably apportion
that sum among the discharged officers
at tonight s meeting.
OIL DRIPPERS 1ST
WATCH A LITTLE OUT
Mayor Signs Ordinance En
tailing More Care From
Auto Drivers.
Mayor Lane today signed the ordi
nance making it unlawful for automobile
owners to drip Oil on the city pavements
and It is expected that many proaecu
tlons will follow.
The ordinance was Instigated by the
failure of the city officials to success
fully proseoute a number of prominent
physicians several weeks ago for drip
ping oil on the streets. At that time it
was found tnat the old ordinance had
been passed for the purpose of prose
cuting owners of oil wagons who made
a practice of dripping their product
tnrougn tne city streets.
Tne ordinance follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any nerson.
either In person or by his agent or by
his employe, to spill or permit to drip
or otherwise to come into contact with
any pavement composed wholly or In
part of asphalt or similar substance,
any liquid product of petroleum, acid or
other substance that may. If deposited
on such pavement, tend to its disintegra
tion or injury."
