-A '.. . THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER-.il, 1908. BEST CATTLE TO Dairy Industry in Oregon ' Suffers Through Lack of Froper Business Frinci- pies TJie Convention Ad journs Today. OUTSIDE STATES (Special DlRDatcb ( The Joarnil.) Salem, Or., Dec. 11. "Be Patriotic and Fill Oregon With Cows" was the theme of the message delivered to the dairy annotation by James Wkhycomb this morning, who occupied . most of - the convention' a time. Lack of sound busi ness principles among dairymen was the meat of the address' delivered by Dr. Withycomb. lie said the dairymen of Oregon were selling . their calves cheaper than any other state, and that they did not know they were up against a losing proposition. - - Dr- With yeomb also ' dlseti sued - feed rroblems and the purpose of the cow. Ce showed where the dairymen were making a mistake in not raising vetch and kale, the best of dairy feed, and were instead buying other feed at twice the cost, and of an inferior grade, for dairy cattle. "This Is an age of specialization," said Dr. Wlthycomb, in speaking of the special purpose of the cow. "Running horses are selected, for years with one definite purpose in view. None of you would think of selecting a draft horse for a race. Neither can you espect a beef cow to- give milk. Dairymen must raise dairy cows. Cows raised both for milk and beef are a failure. They will either un to milk or, nine times out of ten, well run to beef. A cow, like anything else, cannot serve two purposes at'the same time.''. W. L. Crissey, secretary of the asso ciation, waa on the program tbia morn ing, as was also C. Li. Mitchel of the bureau of animal Industry of the tTnlted States government, and Mrs. 8. A. Yoakum of Marshfleld, first vice president of the' association. With the election of officers this afternoon the convention will close. During the two days the spirit of the gathering has centered around tfhe fact that during the past year outside states have been acquiring Oregon- blooded cattle, to the great detriment of the industry in this state. Every speaker acquainted with local conditions abhorred the tendency N and warned those present to bring about a change in ivuv ana nil Ore gon with cows." - Able addresses were delivered yes terday afternoon by Dr. B. N. Hutch inson of the bureau of animal industry, department of agriculture, J. W. Bailey, state dairy and food commissioner and C. H. Fraer, field manager for the Cor vallls Creamery .company. Each handled his aMreas In a masterful manner and the large attendance listened attend tlvely. "Tuberculosis" was the subject of Dr. Hutchinson's talk. He told how the disease had spread anion the cat tle and what preventives should be employed. Plenty of air and sunlight, well ventilated and cleanly barns were necessary to healthy cattle in every climate, said Dr. Hutchinson. He told of the experiments carried on by the United States government and of the principles that had been gathered from the experiments. Following Dr. Hutchinson, Dairy Commissioner Bailey addressed the con vention on "Needed Legislation." He said that the creamery men and larger dairy Interests of the state had formed an organization during the past years by which much had been accomplished, but that all that the creamery men were doing and much more should be done by the state. He said his office was not clothed with sufficient au- I thority to enforce proper regulations and in' other particulars to obtain the best results or to proauce me mgnesi qunlity of dairy products. Mr. Bailey also said that the dairy men of Oregon were too impatient and were' not willing to work and wait for renults as were dairymen in other states. He said the reason for the de crease in production in 1908 over 190? was because dairymen were too anxious to get every dollar out of the industry immediately. They are not willing to expend the required labor and money to raise more cattle. CUTS THROAT (Continued From Page One.) nack.

' When the nerves are irritated by cof fee drinking the mind often imagines things which have no real existence such as approaching danger, unfriendly criticism, etc. . . A Michigan woman suffered In this way, but found how to overcome it. She Wr,"Feor 20 years I drank coffee thinking It would give me strength when tired and nervous. "The more coffee I drank, the more tired and nervous I became until I broke down entirely. Then' I changed mv work from sewing to housework. Thl gave me more exercise and was beneficial, but I kept on drinking coffee -thought I could not do without it. "I was so nervous at times that if left alone I would not go from -one rnrm tn another for fear someone would grab me, and my little children had toS go around on lipiuc wuu oyc-an, Pe"Finally an attack of the grip weak ened me so my nerves rebelled and the smell even of coffee was nauseating.

' ' HOH ill COURT DECEMBER 21 Congest ion of Docket De lays Opening of Trial of Lawyer for Murder, v December 21 is now the date on which It is probable that James A. Finch will be called before a Jury to answer for the murder of Ralph B. Fisher. It was at first thought that the case would Be reached by next Tuesday, but this is now seen to be impossible, and one week from next Monday will be held open, ' ' Hrfcy-Daly, Indicted for the murder of Harry Kenny, will be tried before Finch. The indictment against him was returned at the same time, ut the kill ing of Kenny took place several days before Fisher met his death. December 17, next Thursday, has been reserved for the beginning of Daly's trial. Long drawn Jury trials in the circuit court this week have congested the docket to such an extent that the judges are now two full days behind with their .work. The Johnson murder case has occupied three days of Judge Cleland's time, and tlfe W. E. Douglass embezzle ment case has been on trial four days before Judge Morrow, with the ent not yet in sight. Today was the time set -for the trial of Antonio Petroeso. who is charged with the murder of Vlncensse Descentas, but all the judges are attending to the trial of cases, and Petrasso will not face a Jury until Monday. He will be tried in Judge Morrow's department. While the other two trial Judges have been kept busy with criminal cases. Judge Bronaugh has had several civil cases to. try that were. of. unusual length'. The result is a general piling up of business, but it is hoped that day light will appear next week, despite the fact that the Petrasso case will be long drawn, requiring the constant at tendance of an Italian Interpreter. some one made the remark that he had been trying to cheat the hangman. "I am not afraid of the hangman," he re plied. All I am anxious about is my son." Johnson was allowed about 15 min utes' rest at the jail, and was then taken upstairs to the courtroom, and shortly afterward took the stand In his own behalf. Although terribly weak ened from the loss of blood, suffering great pain from tha gash in his throat, and with his windpipe still gaping open so that the air sucked In and out with a horrible sound when he tried to talk. Johnson managed to gasp and choke out his story. The jailors state that, even with men accused of murder, it is the custom at the jail to allow them to have a razor to shave with before being taken Into court. Johnson, it appears, had no guard over him at the time to prevent his doing with the razor as he pleased. Alleges Many Wrong. "I have looked for justice in Amer ica, but have not found it. I have -suffered wrongs all my life." This is the plaint of tne Finn, and probably ex plains in some measure his killing of Holock, although .the testimony of the witnesses for the state is to the effect that Holock had done nothing to John son to warrant the statement of the accused man that he had been Ill treated by the man he killed. But John son comes from Finland, a country ground under, the iron heel of Russia, and, as he says, has suffered wrongs all his life. Like so many of bis coun trymen he came to America seeking justice and a place where he could live as a man has the right to live. But he does not understand the ways of the country. Its manners and customs are strange to him. Like Ishmael, he still believes that the hand of every man is again hjm. The repression, cruelty and Injustice he suffered in his own coun try seem to have entered into his soul and afflicted him with the mania that every, man he meets wants to wrong him. And so, when he became quarrel some in the saloon and was advised y Holock to go home, he did not take the advice In the kindly spirit In which It was meant, but fancied that this man, too, was against him. And the liquor he had drunk added fuel to his long re pressed hatred of the humanity that had wronged and ill-treated him and he killed the man. Says Shot in Self Defense. Johnson admits the killing of Holock, but claims that he did it in self de fense. On the witness stand this morn ing he testified that Holock and some other men followed hlra when he left the saloon, taunted him and threatened him with bodily injury. Acting, he said, on the advice of Andrew Hendrlck son. one of the witnesses for the prose cution, he sent his son John home to get his revolver, and when John re turned with It, Matt Johnson shot Ho lock and killed him. But he claims that he did the deetl in self defense. The killing occurred on the night of September 11, near the Nlcolai Exchange saloon, corner of Twenty-fourth and Nlcolai streets. Johnson, who had been drinking, entered the saloon and going to a table where several men were play ing ten and a half, commenced to make unpleksant remarks. T. J. Holock. a bartender of another saloon, advised him to go home and keep out of trouble. This angered him, and going outside, he sent him son John home for the re volver. The testimony of the witnesses for the state Is to the effect that John loaded the revolver before bringing it to his father, though both the Johnsons deny this. Shortly after this Johnson met Holock outside of the saloon and shot him dead. The state claims that the killing was without provocation, but the Johnsons claim self defense. John Johnson la on trial as well as his lamer. Matt Johnson was followed on the stand this .morning by John, who cor roborates the testimony given by the elder man. The letter found in Johnson's pocket was turned over by the sheriff's office to Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald, who had it translated but did not make any use of it in the trial. Fitzgerald did not cross-examine Matt Johnson. John Johnson was confined in a dif ferent corridor from his father and knew nothing of the attempted suicide until the time cam? to go into court. Mrs. Johnson, wife of Matt, and their child, 9 or 10 years old, came to court this morning for tho first time to at tend the trial. Mr. Johnson did not learn of her husband's act until after he waa brought back from St Vincent's hospital. Deputy District Attorney Page for the state and C. A. Ambrose for the de fense concluded their arguments to the Jury this morning. John A. Jeffrey for the defense and J. J. Fitzgerald for thr state will talk this afternoon. The case will go to., the jury before court ad journs. GRAFT'S FOES" (Continued From Page One.) room where he was rhot down by Mor ris Haas on November 13. he was given one of the most remarkable ovations ever known In a hall of justice. He arrived In an automobile with his body guard and accompanied by his chauffeur entered Carpenter's hall. The crowd outside cheered but the big reception- took place when he entered the room. The place had been crowded a few minutes before by a delegation of women, representing the League of Jus tice, who had appeared in order to make' a showing in favor of the prosecution-. Abe Ruef, waiting for the Jury to re port in his case, was worried by the presence of the women, who . pointed him out to : one another, but when Heney arrived he became pallid with anger. .- The appearance of Heney caused a tremendous uproar of applauBe, - The women climbed upon chairs, rushed about the-prosecutor, wrung his bands and cheered wildly. , The bailiffs tried In vatn to restore order. Heney shook hands with every body In, the courtroom except those per sons closely associated with Ruef. " He seemed to have regained his strength and to be hls-former self. , Finally Tieney.made his way to the WILL REPORT OH AID TO SHIPPERS Senate Committee Will Soon Act on Fulton's Amend ment, Which Will Affect the Prices of Many Com modities in Oregon. A report on the Fulton amendment to the Hepburn act, has been promised by the senate committee on interstate com merce before ha holidays, according to private advices received in the city. It is now practically certain that this Im portant matter will come up for con sideration and final action during- the preseit session of 'congress. The Fulton amendment is one of great Interest to the people of Oregon engaged In business enterprises which compel Interstate shipments of goods and merchandise. ' Indirectly it Is of importance to all the people, for it has to do with the rates charged by trans portation companies and therefore with the price of different . commodities. The amendment in effect provides that In the event of a new Interstate rate being published as about to go Into effect, if the rate should be objected to by the shippers affected by the pro posed Increase, the commission may, after Investigation, issue an injunction against the railroad, prohibiting the new rate until the matter has been heard by the commission and judged by It. Because of the great Importance to the Oregon shippers of the success of the amendment. It Is urged that all those Interested wire at once to the members of the senate committee on interstate commerce, urging them to not only bring the amendment from the committee at once but that It be accom panied by a favorable report. The mem bers of the committee are: Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia, Shel by M. Cullum of Illinois, Nelson W. Aldrioh of Rhode Island. John Kean of New Jersey, Jonathan P.

Newlands of Nevada. counsel table and took his old seat, where he was sitting just before he waa shot. A few minutes later he went into Judge Lawlor's chambers, a a confer ence with the judge was the object of his visit. Ruef was visibly affected by the demonstration and mumbled and mut tered to his stenographer. J OHXSOX AND OTHER PROSECUTORS RESIGN, FOLLOWING VERDICT tHnlted Vremi leaned Wire Ssn Francisco, Dec. 11. The resigna tions of Attorneys Hiram W. Johnson, Matt I. Sullivan and J. J. Dwyer as spe cial prosecutors of the graft cases will be laid before District Attorney Lang don today, according to the announce ment of Attorney Johnson last night Speaking for himself and his colleagues to a mass meeting of citizens, Johnson said: "We have completed the work for which we entered the prosecution, and now we surrender our trust. We took up this case where Honey was forced to leave off. and we feel that our obliga tion ceased with the conviction of Ruef." Johnson then declared that the real purpose of the prosecutions should be not merely to punish persons and send grafters to Jail, but to purge the government so as to establish the equal ity of men in the eyes of the law and in its application. HENEY'S REAL FIGHT HELD FOR HEAD OF II. R. SYSTEM San Francisco. Dec. 11. "The prose cution's plans have not yet been com pleted in detail but In all probability Patrick Calhoun, president of the Unit ed Railroads. , will be the next man placed, on trial on a charge of bribing a supervisor." said District Attorney Langdon today. "We have not yet decided on which particular indictment the head of the United Rallropds will be tried. We probably will not try Abraham Ruef again on one of the re maining charges immediately. It Is likely, however, that the energy of the prosecution will be centered on the Calhoun case."

"Guilty or not guilty?" asked Judge W. W. McCredle. 1 Relnhart replied, "I am guilty and ask no leniency or mercy; give me the limit, and If I come before you again for the same charge, give me death." Relnhart was arrested at his mother's home near Burnt Ridge Wednesday, for beating his sister and Ill-treating his mother. Yesterday his sister and his mother signed a complaint and today he was arraigned and sentenced. Relnhart is 30 years old.

It is understood that Francis J. Heney, the special graft prosecutor, has given particular attention to the charges against Calhoun and he haa freely expressed his purpose of making the great fight of the whole anti-graft campaign In the cases against the streetcar magnates. SEATTLE CLAIMS FOUR SUBMARINES (CDlted PreM Leased Wire.) Seattle. Dec. 11. In all probability four of the eight submarines authorized at the last session of congress will be built by the Moran company of Seattle. According to contracts awarded yes terday at least two of the submarines will be constructed at the local yards, and word received by J. V. Paterson, vice president and general manager of the Moran company, indicates that It is more than likely that the entire four awarded for construction on the Pacific coast will be turned out at the local yards. It Is stated that the bid of the Elec tric Boat company of Qulncy. Mass., was accepted for building four, to be delivered at the Mare Island navy yard. This company will assign its contract to the Moran company. NOBODY HURT BUT AUTO DID A STUNT (United Tress Leed WW.) San Francisco, Dec. 11. Mrs. G. P.
