( Barry Daly, Who Shot' Harry Kenny " Last Evening. That Harry Daly, the murderer, of Harry Kenny .in a saloon Monday night, li crasy and baa been ao for months, la tha contention of Attorney John K. Stevenson, who baa been aeleoted to represent him. Mr. Stevenson said this morning at tha municipal court that Paly is not In his rig-ht senses. "He. has been brooding," said the attorney, "for months and months and his mind has become so affected by this that he does riot know what ha is doing half the time. Ha could not get a Job and the first Instinct of bis weakened brain, charged with liquor was to kill. Mental Irresponsibility will be our defense." Daly still maintains that he remem bers absolutely nothing of the affair, refuses to admit that he la guilty and asks repeatedly to (peak with Mr. Stev enson. A preliminary hearing was granted him this morning. No defense bad been prepared and the state had arranged no prosecution. Thomae Lyons, the old man who witnessed the snooting, waa called to tha witness stand and testi fied that Daly had asked Kenny for bis old position and on being refused demanded money. Kenny again refused and Daly said, 'If you don't give me that money, by God I'll shoot you." "Shoot met" returned Kenny, throw ing his hands In the air. With that Daly pulled his revolver and shot. Daly Will be bound over to the grand jury. i . At to inquest over tne noay or Harry Kenny field at the Dunning, ilcEntoe A Ullbaugn cnapei yesterday afternoon. men are on trial and It Is for the courts to decide aj to their guilt or innocdnco. It seems to ma that above all things this body should not do anything that might tend to influence the case. On that ground I am opposed to the resc V. D. Ohamharldn stated that he tn favor of ths resolution, but because he feared that the latter part of It might cause Its defeat and because he felt that the association surely ought to express Its sympathy ror ir. Meney, he moved that the resolution be divided and the two parts aoted upon separately, "Mr. Heney," ha said, "Is one Of the foremost men of the Paolflo coast This resolution will add nothing to his favor. It Is merely to show our sympathy for him In- his affliotion. Not to pass It would be to stamp this association as either narrow-minded or spiteful. Any man engaged la the work that Mr. Heney is engaged In deserves the ap plause and sympathy of tha entire nation. R. B. yisher took the floor to cham pion his resolution. . ,. "It Is only In line with many publie expressions of opinion." be said, "that the citizens of Ban Francisco should haze the support of all law abiding olU sens everywhere. We all know that the guilt is there. We know that the at torneys of the grafters are delaying justice. We should let th good cltlsens of San Francisco know we are with them In their efforts to stamp out graft." Otttsena Are Justified. S. H. Grubel supported the motion to divide the resolution. "I think," he said, "that both part; should be passed, although I supported the motion to divide the resolution be cause we surely ought to pass the first art. I do not agree wnn air. veaiie. irnnw that thn la cause for action with the citizens of Ban Francisco at the present time, as much as I know anything of an historic kind.

When Daly demanded 1150 which he nessed the shooting by Daly, gave his testimony said was due him, Kenny treated the demand lightly and when Daly said he would shoot If the money was not paid him, Kenny said, "Well, go ahead and do it." After repeating his threat, Daly drew his revolver and fired one shot. He then left the saloon at Sixth and Ankeny. Persons who entered the saloon Immediately after the shot cor roborated Lyons - story by repeating what Kenny had gasped that it Mwas Daly who had shot him. The Jury held Daly responsible Tot Kenny s death. which occurred a lew hours later. HESITATE TO DENOUNCE (Continued from Page One.)

"It would seem, ne saia, -rnai we need some such restraint." Mr. Beekman was of the opinion that there was no occasion to divide the resolution. "There Is nothing in It." he saia, "which tends to show the guilt of the parties. We ought to adopt the resolu tion, to out the stamp of oor disap proval on that kind of thing. It is only right and proper. We ought not to en courage the prostitution of justice. But dividing the resolution looks as If we felt there were some question aooui this."

The mot on tn divide th resolutloi 1 Into two parts was put and carried.

Mr. Fisher In moving the ad n tlon of the resolution, stated that ie did not urge It on Ms own account, lint for the benefit of his successor, 'If he present salary of 1100 a year, hs n ltd, "Is entirely Inadequate." He said t Jxvt during the past year he had prosoci; ited 12 oases, several of them before 'the supreme court of the state, which nf tide his compensation about S a case. Another fight Opened. A member moved to make the flr rse cutor's salarr 2200 a vear. This me lion was Immediately attacked by a nut tber or those present, some toon me grt wna that the prosecutor ought to do the work for nothing out of a sense of loy alty to the profession, while other 4 op posed the motion on the ground hat there was not enough money' In the treasury to warrant the extra exj jense. Fisher lumped to his feet again. "We all know, he said "that our trea surer. Charlie Schnabel, is the watch-d og of the treasury. I never took a bill rf any kind to him that he did not berat a both me and the executive committee ?Vr in curring it. A short time ago I sflnt my ster.ographer to Mr. Schnabel's office to collect the $25 owing to me on my salary as proseoutor, and she can te back crying and said, 'That man Is M bear.'

Secretary Jerry Bronaugh opr"ed the motion, as aid Juage mevjar ry. i n latter did not think the prosecu lor ought to be paid anything for his wo sk. John K. Kollock said that the secretary of the committee on admissions t tne oar does more work and accomplb gies more than the prosecutor of the rlevanct committee, and never thinks bt asking anything for it. Tlx Salary at $1M The motion to make the salary $200 was finally put to vote ancV lost. On another motion the salary Wi aa fixed at $100, the vote being 16 to 6, J. T.

The amendment was accepted by Judge O'Day and adopted by the aHsoclatlon. jonn K. Kollock. bv reouest. offered a resolution that all courts in the state he requested to aliourn court on the day of the meeting of the state bar as sociation. The association, he said, was entitled to that courtesy. The attend ance yesterday was a disgrace. All t$a other Judges throughout the state adjourned court but the circuit Judges of Multnomah county did not do so, and consequently many of the lawyers were unable to attend the meetings. The resolution was unanimously adopted. Kollock also offered a resolution that the president aprolnt special commit tees on revision of the probate laws, highways laws and water laws, with j full power to act in conjunction with ; the regular legislative committee.

"The new hopper dredge which will soon to be completed at fs'ewport News will be in commission for the next low water season, and ought to be of much more assistance to the port of Portland in keeping open the channel than the dredge Ladd has been, but the appro priation recommended will be of little assistance to us other than this. "The appropriation for the Celllo ca nal is sufficient for the next two or three years, and If Included In the hill will assure continuous work upon this project. "It does not seem to me that the ap nronriation of S450.00O for the mouth of the river is adequate for the completion j of the south jetty, and this may result In a delav before another river and harbor bill is passed. It will, however, be sufficient to Insure continuous work for all of next season and a part of 1910. "I hope, however, that our people will not forget that the project at the mouth of the river will be far from rom pleted when this money Is expended, and also for the SO foot channel we need In the river, a new project should be adopted without delay, and we should soon get substantial appropriations for this purpose, which will require mil lions for Its permanent completion."
