On the witness stand in the county

took up the thread of bis story regard
ing his treatment of Mra Myers during
her : last illness, - That Robinson was
skillful and did all possible to save the
life of Mrs. - Myers la the contention, of
the contestant, Mrs. Georgia Frances
Stevens, her daughter,, it being alleged
that the charges Myers made regarding
mistreatment of his wife by Or. Robin
son were unfounded and indicated an Insane-
mind. ' ?v-V- :'',
After having been .on the stand last
Tuesday Dr. Robinson was called back
yesterday afternoon, but he was fre
quently supplanted at intervals by other
witnesses for the contestant, who were
called from their v business downtown
and were allowed to testify as quickly
as possible. ' In pursuit of the . same
policy J. K. GUI was called to the stand
this morning, to .testify to intemperate
talk Indulged in by Myers regarding
Dr. Robinson. Gill and Myers served
in the legislature together. - ; .. -

Numerous witnesses, many of them
among the old residents . of Portland,
were put on the stand to testify to the

said-, they, believed that Myers became
Insane or unbalanced on 'the subject of
his wife's death. These witnesses .were

that the elder Myers had good reason
from what he had been told to be sus
picious or lr.'- KODinson s treatment.
and that his : exoitement under - such
circumstances Is not to be regarded
as an evidence of Insanity.. They also
sought to show .that all that Myers
charged Robinson with was unsklllful

CHAMBERLAIN IS
. STRONGER IN SOUTHERN OREGON
Governor Chamberlain's chances for
the United .States senatorshlp , are look

western and i southern Oregon, and he
will be given a very heavy vote through
the district, according to R. O.. Steven
son, state gams and forestry warden,
who has Just returned from a trip as
far south as Klamath Falls. "
Mr. Stevenson returned from bis trip
yesterday, passing through Portland on
his way to his home at Forest Grove.
He has been absent, traveling over the
district for several weeks, and baa been
out mingling with the people of the
outlying districts. Xt is here that- Gov
ernor Chamberlain is showing his great
strength.--- -. ... . -v. ......
"Wherever I have been I ; have been
surprised at the - Chamberlain senti

his trip. "I expected to find many sup-
Sorters In southern Oregon, but I really
Id not expect to find them in such
numbers or so widely diffused over the
district as was the cass. In my belief

Dr. Robinson on the stand this morn
ing was allowed to tell his story of the
last Illness of Mrs. Myers without in
terruption. He told how he had tried
to call tn other physicians to consult
with htm, but that' Mra Myers refused
to permit him to do so. He told of the
examinations he made and the progress
of the disease, going Into detail and
showing a surprising remembrance of
incidents. He told of his attendance at
the funeral. of Mrs. Myers and the ar
rangements he made at the crematory

allow other doctors to be called, and
that Myers commended Dr. Robinson

Port of Portland Commission
Sets Six Miles Per Hour as
Speed Limit at Several '
Points Along the Willamette.
An ordinance passed by 'the Port of
Portland commission yesterday afters
noon put a stop to racing 'between rival-
steamers in the Willamette river frorn .
the harbor to near its confluence, with
the, Columbia. , The measure "was con- -
sidered timely in view of the rate wars
that have been promised between steam
boat concerns this summer, w
The ordinance la sweeping in Its efr
feet, and violation of its provisions
ill bs , prosecuted without . , fear - or
favor. It" Is considerably mora atrln. .
gent -than the ordinance passed by the
city which prohibits steamers ; from
traveling faster than eight miles an
hour within the harbor limits. Tho
new ordinance passed yesterday ' and
made effective at once. Drovdea that :
six miles shell be the speed limit . in
Passlna the Port of Portland rtrvrini-lc
at St. Johns or the dredges belonging
jw m pun, no maiier wnere tney may
be operating. It provides that .'sigh
miles shall be the speed limit from, the
foot of Ross island to the Svuth to the
head of Swan Island to the north, and "
a speed limit of 12 miles from Swan
Island to, tho Associated Oil dock near
Llnnton. ..... . . ,- , -.
Another matter of Importance' that
came before the regular meeting of
the commission yesterday was the ap
pointment of a committee composed of -Commissioners
Swlgert, Drtscoll and
Wheelwright, to revise the rates fixed '
for the use of the drydoek. It having
been decided to make a substantial .re- -
due tlon In order to invite more work.
ine oia rates, it is agreed, have been "
rather steep, so much so that manv -
vessels in actualfieed of cleaning, paint-
ing or repairs have had the work dona
elsewhere at a -considerable saving.
The revision -will result in giving
more work to the large number of me
chatrlcs , who depend largely upon em
ployment at the dock. ,
Before adjourning the commission de
elded to build 10 new. pontoons for the
dredge Portland. Bids for tho . Sam
will be invited in a few days.-- - ,
: tPRAISE OF VORD
Lively, Democratic; Rally
" Held at Moiint Tabor
' Last Night.
Torn; Word's candidacy for sheriff on
the Democratic ticket was indorsed by
large crowd of voters - gathered st
Woodmen hall on : West avenue last
night;, where a political rally was held.
Rev. , C. I SV .Wilson spoke of politics
I from a moral standpoint and lauded the
single-handed . efforts which Word as
sheriff mads during his terra of office
to uphold the morals of the community.'
Dr. Wilson declared that Word had
grappled the gambling evil without fear
of consequences either to himself or hie
political future and had enforced the
law against gambling-Impartially and
without taking into consideration the
fact- that those - whom he put out -of
business would work againat him In the
future.- .. - ' '- -
When Word was s defeated for ' re
election two years ago. Dr. Wilson as
serted the lower-element in . the city
and throughout the state rejoiced that -a
courageously moral officer had been
put out As a pioneer in the work of
reform, Dr. Wilson urged the voters to
support him and assured them that In
so doing they would lend that much in
dividual help lit maintaining a moral
community and i enforcing the law .
against violators of the statutes. .
Addresses were made during the rally
by A. King Wilson, E. S. J. McAllister
and Oglesby-Young, the latter a candK
date . for state railroad commissioner.
J. A Jeffrey, candidate for representa
tive frojh the Second congressional dis
trict, also addressed the meeting.
United States Circuit .Court
of Georgia Grants Luni
bermcil'sJRrayer. - 1
It will be remembered, that three 'or
four years ago, in what is known as the
Yellow Pins ' cases, an advance,?! 1
oents a hundred put into etfect-.by the
railroad companies from southern points
was declared to be unreasonable, and
an order was entered granting" the lum
bermen reparation j'f Or ratea collected.
In the United . States circuit, court, Kf
Georgia, in a case before Judge Speer,
the railroads executed a bond for 8600,.
000 to protect the shippers against the
advance in case the supreme court-sustained
the decision of the lower tourt
holding the advances unjustified.- The
supreme court many months ago de
cided the case in favor of the lumber,
men. but ' settlement-of the difference
due -the lumbermen had been delayed
for various reasons.' .
Finally, on May 6, " 1908, an ancillary .
bill waa filed asking that the court di
rect, the railroads to pay into court the -
1500,000.- being the face, of the bond
executed to protect the shippers and
yesterday the court rranted the prayer
and directed the payment to be made. -and
it is believed, now that there will
be no further delay In the shippers be
ing repaia tne excessive rates collected
In the meantime. . ... " . .
