tnenaoe to publlo health.
Mrs. Graham waa taiten sica treoru

ples of the water were taken to Dr.
Xohl city health officer, and then It
wag decided that an analysis should be
made.
The water from which the Graham
hydrant is supplied comes from a res
erroir on Portland Heights, where It Is
pumped by the department This la nec

After completing his examination Dr.
Natson declared that the water con

reservoir.
Dr. Fohl will visit the Heights reser

the water. These are to be analysed
ith a view of determining if possible
'If the great amount of colon bacillis

Victor C. Bands, engineer for Wake
field St. Co., constructing engineers,
submitted to the North East Side Im
provement association last night for
their consideration plans for the con
struction of a high bridge without a
draw from Alblna to the terminal
yards. Mr. Bands estimates that the
cost of Such a bridge will be $2,180,000.
He recommends that a bridge with a
cantilever draw be built Instead which
' would cost in the neighborhood of $800,
000. .
The bridge desired by the people of
Alblna and for which Mr. bands exhlb
' tied plans last night would be built
from Dupont street to Eighth street.
The grades would not exceed five per
cent on the west side and on the east
side there would be practically no
grade to contend with. On account of
the approach that would be necessary
for so high a structure Mr. Sands
frankly advised the club not to build a
high bridge.
Over 2.000 names have been secured
for the petitions and they will be sub
mitted to the city auditor for checking
up In a few days. It is likely that
Mr. Sands' recommendations for a can
tilever drawbridge will be taken up
and discussed by the club.

Berlin, March 7. All efforts to con

de Sagan, Bonl's cousin, were murried
in a German village recently have
failed.
The kaiser denies the report that he
expressed himself as favoring the

which originated in the Crl de Paris, a
newspaper, Is generally discredited.
DAY'S SCHEDULE
ALMOST ANGELIC
1 nns tn.iiU this morning by Deputy I l a-
trlit Attorney K. H Seabrook. who Is
' assisting Bert Haney In the conduct of
; the slate's case, lie said that the state
expects to prove that the killing was
t deliberate; that Wynne and Du Puis had
trouble In Pendleton some time before,
and that Wynne had never forgotten or
forgiven his enemy and that Wynne de
liberately provoked a quarrel In order
to give an eaeuse for killing Me vie
tlm. He said malice was shown by
Wynne having fired a shot after Du
Puis fell to (he floor, already fatally
wounded.
Defense of Temporary Insanity.
I.. 11. Keedur made the opening state
ment for the defense, outlining a com
bination of self-defense and temporary
Insanity on which the fight will be made
to save the prisoner's life, lie said that
Wynne In Missouri was affected by the
St. Vitus' dance; that he Is a cripple
through having a rib broken and his
knee badly Injured In an accident, and
that mora recently be had suffered a
blow on the head.
Reeder said that Du Pula was quar
relsome and knew of Wynne's crippled
condition. He asserted that Du Puis
was the aggressor In the affair, striking
Wynne a stinging blow a moment be
fore he was shot. The attorney de
clared the evidence would show tht
all three shots were fired by Wynne
In close succession, and while Du Puis
was still on his feet facing Wynne.
The speaker also said that the gojl
reputation of Wynne for peace and
quietude would be shown.
Martin Denny, proprietor of the
saloon where the killing took place, was
the chief witness this morning. He
said Wynne came Into the place alone.
Iu Puis was already there, and the
two of them talked with Kd 8wltsler.
He said tiwltsler was the only one that
appeared Intoxicated, but Wynne And
Du Puis had several drinks together
at Wynne's expense and bickering aroso
out of that fact.
Wynne asked Du Puis why he did not
loosen up and spend some money, Du
Puis replying by throwing a nickle on
tho counter and saying that was all
he had. He suld Du Puis added. "Tou
know I would buy a drink If I had the
money. I am not a sponger, and you
know It."
Warned to Stop Talking.
The men were talking loudly, the wit
ness said, and the bartender, W. J.
Shanks, warned them to stop, or their
talk might lead to something they did
not Intend. The men retired from the
bar, but a few moments later renewed
their badgering. Du Puis wanting to
know why Wynne had It In for him,
Wynne saying he did not propose to be
tricked.
The men got Into a scuffle then, the
witness said, and he rushed between
them, telling them to go Into the street
If they were going to fight. As he
tried to separate them and was pushing
them apart Wynne fired three snots.
There was a pause between the sec
ond and third shots, he said, and Du
Puis reeled to the floor after the third
shot. Du Puis did not speak after he
was shot. The witness asked Wynne
what he had done and Wynne replied:
"What's the fuss about? 1 haven't done
anything."
YV. J. Shanks, the bartender, testified
to the same effect as Denny, differing
only In small details. Dr. Ziegler testi
fied to his having been called in and
to the death of Du Puis.
The Jury was completed last evening
and was taken to view the saloon where
the shooting took pluce. The following
nnmea compose tne Jury: H. u. Dou
t lilt. F. D. Gibbs, W. W. Day, Charles
S. Hacker, W. J. Hawkins, August Dip-
peii, j. w. tirown. I. Corlew. W. A.
Charles, 8. E. Carnahan, W. Iabbe and
H. I Searls.
If it had not been that Miss Marie
Luders, teacher of the sixth grade In
the Portsmouth school, took the witness
stand Jn Maglstrste Reld's court this
morning and became real angry before
she left It, the assault and battery case
against Principal 11. K. Hughson of the
Portsmouth school would have been de
cidedly uninteresting. It waa Miss
Luders who saved the day for the spec
tators. She came bright and early In a
matutinal costume of blue, and a pretty
blue hut. She testified that Arthur
Mathews, the 16-year-old boy who Is
the complaining witness In the case,
had come hack from his paddling
laughing and happy. He felt so good
that she had to send him out in the
hall to sober up, she said.
This gave Prosecuting Attorney W.
W. Banks his cue.
"He was laughing, was he, ' Miss
Luders?"
"Yes," said the witness; "laughing
Without due cause."
"And you punish children who laugh
in school?"
Miss Luders said she did.
"Well, how about the teachers who
have been sitting In court all through
this cose giggling constantly?" Inquired
Mr. Banks, waving towards the court
room, which waa filled with school
ma'ams enjoying the hearing.
"I haven't laughed once." sild Miss
Luders, her black eyes snapping angrily,
"excepting when one boy called a mulo
a horse. I thought 1 had a right to
laugh then."
Tne lawyer drew fire again when he
asked her if she was friendly with the
principal, Mr. Hughson.
"Only In school and In a business
way," declared the teacher.
"I didn't suggest anything else,"
remonstrated Mr. Banks.
W ell. I can t tell what you suggest,
said Miss Luders angrily.
Nearly a score of small boys were
called to testify and they told many
tones or how Arthur watnewa limped
nd how he didn't limn. Attorney Dan
Malarkey, representing Professor Hugh
son, brought out the fact that the
Mathews had tried to settle the case
fter the hearing last Saturday.
This afternoon Professor Hughson
will testify and Magistrate Held will
probably decide the case.
When the members of. the liquor li
cense committee of the city council
meet Monday afternoon to consider the
alleged transfer of the " Pullman cafe
from C. A. Tuck to P. C O'Meara, ac
tion may be taken fo revoke the license.
This move Is contemplated by several
members of the committee who do not
believe that John Conrad ever sold the
place to Tuck, and who are equally
skeptical as to the present ownership
of O'Meara.
In an effort to learn what courae the
various members of the committee will

Thomas Bone of Baker City
Cuts Throat Suicidal
Mania Elsewhere.
(Special Dispatch t i The Joorntl )
Baker City, Or., March 7. Thomas
Bone. 45 years old and single, attempted
suicide last evening by cutting his
throat with a razor. His throat was
cut from ear to ear but he did not touch
the Jugular vain. He bled freely but
was removed to the hospital. He Is an

is penniless.
could be located. When the question of
tbe transfer came up at the last meet
log of the committee the matter waa
put over until Monday in order to give
the members time to determine wnetner
the transfer is bonaflde.
Veugh Wants Bevocatloa.
When asked what he thought should
be done in the matter. Councilman
Vaughn declared openly that his stand
would be the same as It always haa
been in the matter. He said that the
license should be revoked, and will ask
that auch action be taken. Councilman
Vaughn aald he never believed that Con
rad had sold to Tuck, and believea that
Conrad still owns the place.
Councilman Bennett believes that the
license should be revoked, and says he
Is Inclined to this opinion because lie
believes that It would woric great moral
results In the Interest of the city. He
also has doubts as to the authenticity
of the transfers, and thinks that the
public would bo better off without the
resort In operation.
Councilman Wills Is another member
of the committee who doos not like the
wav in which several of the saloonkeen
ers who were allowed to transfer their
licenses after Investigation have broken
their promises to the councllmen, and
he is expected to be one of the commit
teemen who will favor revoking the li
cense, although he has not committed
himself on the question.
Promises All Violated.
When the council allowed Conrad to
transfer his license to Tuck, the letter
promised that he would not allow
women to congregate there, and would
also stop the music In the resort. The
day after Tuck made his alleged trans
fer to O'Meara, The Journal made an
Investigation of the place, sjid found
that women were In the place, and that
tho piano was going full blast. Conrad
was seen in the saloon dressed In a
bartender's uniform and drinking with
the women. Conrad has been in the
place every day since O'Meara is sup
posed to have taken over the place, and
It Is the general belief that he still
owns the resort.
The remaining members of the com
mittee are Chairman Cottel and Council
men Rushlight, Drlscoll and Wallace.
What their attitude will be will depend
largely upon the outcome of the testi
mony to be heard Monday. Drlscoll is
expected to vote In favor of the trans
fer, and Wallace Is also looked upon as
frlendlv to O'Meara. Rushlight will
probably oppose the transfer, and Cottel
may also.
While It Is possible to secure a ma
iorltv of the committee to vote to rec
ommend the revocation of the license
it is considered Improbable that a ma
lorlty of the councllmen will adopt such
a report.

Oregon City, March 7. The county
court yesterday ordered that bids for
the construction of a home truss steel
bridge across the Clackamas river at
Estacada be advertised for, the new
bridge to be built at the location of
the present bridge. This virtually ends
the Estacada bridge; war.
For the past six months, the bridge
question has divided the people of thst
city into two factions, the ! Tup-streamers"
and the "down-streamers." The
'up-st reamers" wanted the new bridge
to be constructed at the location of the
old bridge, at the upper end of the
town: the down-streamers wanted the.
bridge at the lower end, about half a
mile down stream from the present
brldee. The action of the county court
may be considered a victory for the
up-sireamers.

A good many folks want thlnsrs that
they cannot order In restaurants, and
