Bouchard and Examining Magistrate

The caee was taken before Magistrate

Leydette is closely afflliuted with
? Madame Stoinheil, who is charged with
poisoning her husband and is suspected
of poisoning former President Faure
of France, who is said to have died in
her apartments.
Madam? Steinhell Is confined alone in
a cell and spent the entire day moaning
1 in great anguish. She is apparently
overcome tv the nervous strain through
which- she has passed. She absolutely
'. refuses to make any statement or dis
'cuss the death of her husband tn any
wav. She maintains the same stolid
silence as -when first accused of poison

The statement that the prealdent died

not been denied.

Minister of Justice Briand declared
today that the phase of the case affect

connection of the Dreyfus case with the
scandal must be probed thoroughly and
he is preparing to make the most

IN FOOTED CASE
Late J. W. Young Said to
, Have Planned Litiga
tion Over Estate.
(Siiccial Dlaoatrn to Th Journal.)
Pendleton, Or.. Nov. 2". When Judge
Bean in the circuit court yesterday
signed the decree by which was dis
missed the suit of Mable C. Warner
against the heirs of J. W. Young, he
wrote the beginning of the end of the
must sensational case in the history of
the courts of Umatilla county.
For the past two years suit and oun
ter suit have followed each other in
rapid Succession in the "Warner case."
as the suits were generally called. Ma
bel Warner sought to secure the bulk
of her uncle's fortune upon misalleged
i contract which formed the base of the
; suit (ilsnussed yesterday, and into court
' wen- brought two wills', both of which
j were declared forgeries, and upon the
was prosecuted for forgery.
Did J- W. Young foresee all this mud
dle, of litigation this blare of trumpets,
blast and counter blast, charge and
counter charge? Did the rich old Wes
ilon pioneer roll over in his coffin with
silent laughter as attorney after attor
ney entered the ranks of the arena of
the court to battle for the estate?
rorssaw Xgal Battls.
Young must have foreseen the fun he
was going to miss, for In the evidence
of R- M. Powers, quoted by Judge Bean
In his opinion yesterday, is this state
ment of the old man's attitude:
"Ho told me he was to give hep the
niece, Mabel Warner) a first class edu
cation, and said that if she went to the
doga it wasn't his fault. He told nie
he was not going to fix anything up;
what he had he- was going to leave it
to the kids to fight fiver, and he looked
out of the side of his eye and said:
Won't they have a hell of a time?' "
He must have been pleased with the
result.
Mabel Warner was Young's niece, and
the daughter of his wife from whom
he was divorced. After the divorce
Mabel Warner lived with her uncle,
and was by him educated. He wanted
to adopt the girl, but Mabel's mother
refused to allow such proceedings, so
he sent her to school, gave her a busi
ness education, and for several years
kept the young lady in his home. Later,
according to the storv told In the evi
dence quoted by Judge Bean, Young
lout control of the girl, and they drifted
apart, Mabel afterwards marrying.
J. W. Young died in 1906. Among his
papers was found a will leaving two
quarter sections of land to a niece, Mrs.
Nora Watts, while the rest of the estate
was to be divided among other heirs.
Another Will rotund.
Mrs. Warner was not satisfied. She
declared that there should be another
will and undertook to find it.
In the presence of B. B. Hall, exec-'
utor of the estate. Mrs. Warner, while
searching through the papers of her
Ujicle discovered, or claimed to have
discovered, a will, under which she
was chief beneficiary, and of which
Dave I.avendar was appointed execu
tor. The will purported to be wit.
nessed by John McCourt, now United
States district - attorney for Oregon,
and one W. A. Darklns. McCourt de
clared his signature a forgery and
upon his denial the woman was prose
cuted for forgery. Larklns was ndver
found.
Mrs. Warner was twice indicted,'
each time the Jury being unable to
agree on a verdict. MeanLHne a sec
ond will turned up, witnessed bv Mr.
Hall, it purported, afVd by V. L. Blair.
Hall denied that this will was genu
ine, but the woman was never prose
cuted upon the charge.
After the criminal suits were be
gun against Mrs. Warner the woman
began suit in the circuit court against
the other heirs, claiming that she was
entitled to the estate upon an agree
ment alleged to have been made be
tween Young and her mother, by which
In llan rf divine the mother illtnnnv
Young was to educate Mabel Warner.
t and make her his heir at his death. It
'WAR this suit that Jtidre Hean dls-A
missed yesterday, holding that "such I
la contract, especially when it attempt- f
ied to be established by parole, is re-
i garded with suspicion. The court also I
i held that there had been no such con-
Islderation as would be necessary to ;
I properlv establish such a contract and
I hence the suit was not entitled to
standing.
The criminal charges against Mrs
Warner still stand, hut were held
over during the present term of court
until the status of the suit dismissed
yesterday was determined by the
court.

Drie Rend, the' author, with his fa
vorite pipe, his wealth of gray-streaked
hnlr which seldom if ever looks we!
brushed, and his dry, quaint sense o
humor which cannot bo excelled, but
without the rheumatism that he -had
when here In February last, arrived at
the Hotel Portland this morning on his
way to CorvallU. where he is booked
4o deliver a lecture to the Oregon Agri
cultural collega students.
Mr. Read's lectures consist of studies
on human nature and little anecdotes
on life.
"Then you don't talk on any of the
deep subjects questions that are agi
tating the minds of the people of to
day?" Mr. Read was asked
"Oh, yes I do," he replied. "Human
nature and nature itself are the two
deepest things in the world. Man Is
a great deal better and has accom
plished mora than most people give him
credit for.
"Man has Improved wonderfully dur
ing the last few years. There is no
question about that. He is larger and
he lives longer. Life insurance com
pany statistics show this to be true
without a doubt. That the race Is a
wonderful Improvement over genera
tions of the past is shown by the in
ventions that have been evolved by the
brain of man,"
The author Is not fond of traveling.
He says he would rather remain in one
place. Then he would be contented.
The eleetlon didn't suit Mr. Read very
well. He thought, and hoped, it would
go the other way.
The author believes that the lumber
men of the United States have been
invading the timber districts In Canada,
purchased large tracts there and that
they are now behind the movement to
have the tariff reduced on the lumber
shipped Into the United States from the
northern country. While a reduction of
tariff rates would work a hardship on
some of the smaller dealers, Mr. Read be
lieves at the same time that such a
change would do a great deal- toward
preserving the forests of this country
for years to come.
Mr. Head is a great aamirer or mis
great west. He says
If he were a
younger .man he would come out to
'grow up with the country." He likes
Portland. Whenever he- gets out this
u'av he slwnva (Irons in lust to spend a
day or 'two and to admire the people

nre too much on New York. They don't
believe there is any other part of the
United States. Says he met a man not
long ago who had lived In New York
since boyhood, succeeded and had trav
eled extensively abroad. ". Hut he was
taking hfs first trip on a Pullman.
Mr. Read thinks San Francisco is des
tlned to be a great city. Asked what
he thought about the earthquake when
here early In the year, the. author said
that the quake had shaken all the ro
mance out of the old city. Now he
says the city is a "marble palace on
the edge of an ash heap."
Mr, Read has written more than SO
hooks and Is now at work on another.
The name of this book has not been de
cided upon as yet but will be published
some time next vear. i
Mr. Rea leaves this afternoon for
Cnrvallls. He will return to Portland
within a few days and then goes into
ashlngton to give more lectures. .

RAISE $50,000
FOR COLLEGE
Presbyterian Ministers Dis
cuss Needs of Albany Jn
stitution at Luncheon.
Twenty Presbyterian ministers met
with President H. M. Crooks of Albany
college for luncheon at the Commercial
club today to discuss ways and means
for raising the $50,000 required for a
fund for the Albany institution. So
pur essful has President Crooks proved
:is a boomer of the college that Albany
has raised $11,000, which is $1,000 more
than Its proportion of the $50,000 fund
that the Presbyterians of the state are
trying to secure.
As soon as Oregon has raised $50,000
1hp rpntra, boanf of tne Presbyterian
church will, according to Its agree
ment, contribute $25,000 more and thus
have an endowment fund of $75,000.
During the visit of D. K. Pearsons, thp
Chicago philanthropist, to Oregon lapt
week Dr. Crooks saw Dr. Pearsons and
although no definite promise was se
cured concerning a donation to the fund
it Is believed that if the $75,000 Is
raised Dr. Pearsons will himself con
tribute largely to the Institution.
