XV. XV.' Church, a Juror in the Way
mlre-Raddlng case, stands between the
late and an acquittal, was shown
by the questions which he asked of
John Logan, leading attorney for the
defense, an he was closing his argu
ment at noon today. No hint of the
opinion or the belief of other members
of the Jury had been dropped or Is
known, tut Mr. Church camo out in the
open today, making it practically cer
lain that he at least will stand with the
tefensi. This showing made- Just as

troversy and as a pleasing flash to Uie
Mr! Logan, was Just on the point of
finishing nit addrrss, wnicn naq neen

Mr. Church Interrupted him.
"I would like to havo you explain

like you to tell me how it was after
Mayor Lano, according to Mrs. way
. mire's story, had attempted to kiss and
caress her on the afternoon of Sep

;had apologized as he did. that he made

"A man so Inflamed bv sensual pas

(responded Mr. Logan.

"No." aald Mr. Church, fl would not
I have gone back the second time after
fl had been repulsed, as it is aald the
mayor was." "
"Of course you would not," said Mr.
! Logan. "You and I are not that kind
j of men. We would not have done such
.a. thing In the first plaoe." But Mr.
i Church, the Juror, still shook his head
i In the negative and seemed positive
that ho believed the theory of the de
fense was lacking .In that part or the
i story at least.
Tha case will be submitted to the
j jury late this afternoon and it is prob
' able that a verdict will be returned
i without much waiting in the Jury
! room. Since the defense closed Its tes-
.la.avu .iiii . 111 v i iui ,itu v
yesterday afternoon, thus unexpectedly
ending its case, the attorneys for the
state and the defense have been taxing
their lungs and the patience of the
court with their closing arguments. It
was stipulated that two counsel should
peak for each side of the case and
accordingly district attorney John
Manning opened with a short but well
directed argument for the prosecution.
Manning &e views Testimony.
Mr. Manning reviewed the testlmonv
as it had been (riven, holding up to
uoiiBiun ma Hiury or jars, waytnire
of Raddlng, Bell and Mandelay. He
grilled tne witnesses, holding Bell and
Aianaeiay up to pity while he excorl
atd Kaaaing and. Mrs. Wsymirs In
bitter terms.
He said that Dante painted no blacker
demon in all his Inferno than shown by
the characters and the actions of the
two aerenaanis. tie exnorted the Jury
, to look at the case in Its true light, not
, paying attention to the charms of Mrs.
Waymire, for the criminal law knew no
ex. He argued tnat should a verdict
of acquittal be returned it would serve
notice to the world that in Portland
men and women were, free to work
badger games on whomsoever they
would.-
Following Mr. Manning's argument
XV. K. McGarry opened the case of the
defense. He filled out. what remained
of yesterday afternoon and overflowed
Into this morning, finishing- at 10:46.
He went Into the evidence In detail pick
ing at the testimony of. the prosecution
statement by statement and point by
Soint. He argued that the story of the
efense was a clean and stralghtfor-
ward narration of the truth, while the
prosecution, especially Dr. Lane's testi
mony, was a cleverly concocted tale of
evasion.
Koran la Funny Vein.
Mr. Logan followed Mr. McOarfy.
He made fun of the contentions of the
state. He read from the Indictment
where It was alleged that great damage
had been done to the property of Mayor
Lane and then contended that the only
testimony supporting this allegation
was the testimony of Janitor Drew that
a - buttonhole of the mayor's trousers
had been torn out. Following this the

Chicago, Feb. 26. The murder of ttoii
Father Leo Heinrlchs Id Denver, as the
priest stood at the altar administering
holy communion, -brought forth the
startling accusations from Chicago
priests today that antt-clerlcal agita
tion by a group of foreigners has taken
form in Chicago. . ,
The priests say emphatically that sim
ilar murders may bib feared as the re
sult of the propaganda carried on
apainst priests under the guise of an
anti-clerical club In this city.
Discovery of the agitation among Chi
cago foreigners following the charges
by the priests brought on an Investiga
tion by the police department and Im
portant developments are expected,
throwing light on the movements of the
assassin while In Chicago.
Reports have It that Italians in Chi
cago, Denvei" and elsewhere deeply re
gret that It was an' Italian who com
mitted the dastardly murder of Father
Heinrlchs of Denver. PortlandItallans
feel very rnucn the same way, and It

Washington, D. C, Feb. 25. The
following cable has been received
here:
Toklo, Feb. 25. Japan Is about
to give evidence. o her real feelings
owt the United States. The tint
low to be deliTered at Xtaerlcan
enterprises Is aimed at the Standard
Oil companyA bill Increasing the
Import duty on crude oil 80 per
cent is expected to be favorably re-
Dorted to the diet. The firm of
Samuel & Co., Standard Oil repre
sentatives here, are making a bitter
fight to defeat the bill but It Is
thought that their efforts will prove
unavailing. --
Crude and refined oils are among
the) largest American. Imports into
Janfcn. Cotton, flour and lomher
follow in order. Millions pf dollars
worth of oil have been contracted
for and much of it is being1 frmported
by American houses that ?f (and to
lose vast sums of mone it, the re
vised tariff bill goes throtlgn.
Japan is becoming mora and more
aggressive in her- relations with
China and is evidently J,jflaylng &
double game with the United States.
It is believed among Europeans here
that the United States is fully cog
nizant of Japan's double dealings
and is about to protest rigorously,
backed morally by Germany, France
and possibly England." , '.
With the arrival of Ambassador
Takahlra, successor to Japanese Am-
bassador Aokl, and Wu Tlngrfangr, the
hew Chinese minister to the United
States, there is expected an ; thtirely

'Dear Sir Widespread circulation has
been given a report that you have re
fused to consider the advisability of
starting a complete Investigation of the
charges Involving the Electric Boat

been hroiiffht Into the matter through
the admission of a United Press re
porter in the house that he accepted a
rheck from the boat company for an ar
ticle circulated last August. It appears
that he did not even try to foist tne ar
ticle upfin our report and none of our
Sapers received It. Hut we esteem the
Iselpllne of our organization, which de
mands that employes must not attach
themselves to outside Interests, and dis
missed him. We cannot believe that

graver charges in which It la Involved.
The service of every branch of this as

times in this matter. . - t .
