a new trial will b Mked by W.
Cooper Morris. convlcUd Of embeMlIng
$75,000 from th Onion Tnut ft Sav
ing bank, on the ground that substan
tial error was committed by Judge Oan-
tcnbeln in giving private instructions to

forts of Howard .A. Guilford to offer
rf bribe. A further ground will do inai
' the defense could not "hare a fair trial
from the twelfth Juror after,, h , was
approached by Guilford, if';1"
Morris will be sentenced by Juds
Gantenbein . tomorrow morning. !, . The
possible sentence is from one to 10
year In the penitentiary. - A. time will
probably be fixed for arguing the mo
tion for new trial within a short time,
and tha defense will then argue the
question of error In connection with
the approaches made to Juror Barton.
Some One Behind Oailford. -
Seneca Fouts and Alexander Sweek.
the attorneys for Morris who were ac
cused by Guilford of using him to try
to bribe the Jury, declare they intend
to go to the, bottom of the affair, their
theory being that Guilford was sent to
them by some one behind whose name
lias not yet apepared.- . Guilford, since
his first confession, has stated he was
i not alone In the affair. A further state
ment In relation to Guilford was given
last night by Sweelc, speaking for him
self and Touts, as follows:
"Gultford came to us and. tried to ap
proach us last week. His eouduct led
us to believe that somebody had sent
him to us. We held him long enough
to get two private detectives on hie
track. We did , not see or hear any
more from' htra until b came around
again the first of this week. '
"The latter part of last week the de
tectives reported that he was a hanger
on around Bob Patterson' saloon, with
out any visible employment, and was
comparatively unknown . in( . town, and
from the reports of our detectives we
were unable to . determine who ; was
ai-nding hinj to us. We could not find
that he knew any, of the Jurors and
- could:. not connect him with anybody.
Nothing more was seen of the fellow
for several days. - ' "
Persistant In Effort.
"The first of the week he came back
to the office again and, we held him
long enough to . get the detective a
second time. ' Then we ordered the' fel
low out of the of fie. It was generally
known by everybody in 'the afflce, in.
eluding two or three clients that came
In, that the man had tried to approach
' us. ; -.' :- '''' :"' --;i"'w:'v -!.'''-"';vM-:.'
"We took U up and advised with three
or four prominent lawyers as to what
should be : done. The persistency with
which he dogegd our' footsteps, after
having beea ordered away from the of
fice, however, worried us; and after a
consultation between the attorneys In
the case we went to Judge Gantenbein
Wednesday morning- and asked him to
lock the Jury up; , telling him we had
reasons for making that request, and
Insisted that the Jury be kept together."
Joel M. Long has been retained by
Sweek and - Fouts to represent them
before the Bar association or in court
Arthur C: Spencers chairman of the In
vestigating -committee -named by the
Bar association., said .: yesterday the
committee cannot meet for a week, as
one member of the committee has to
go to eastern Oregon and ' one other
member Is expected to decline to serve.
Detectives Tery Sy.iY.
Meantime there i great activity In
detective circles. The city detective
. foice, working' under direction of the
district attorney. Is trying to obtain
some corroboration of the statement of
Guilford to connect Fouts and S week
with the attempt to bribe the Juror,
and a sort of dragnet has been set
The cigar man In the Lumbermens
building, where Fouts and Sweek have
their offices, was . questioned by de
tectives and others who M&nn thought
might throw some light artfe subject
have been called in. Private detectives
are said to be shadowing the: princi
pals In the case; every movement being
watched. . '
Yesterday rumor were afloat that
two other member of the Morris jury
had been approached during the oourse
of the trial, but this lacks confirma
tion. Juror Barton told Judge Gan
tenbein yesterday he had followed the
Instructions of the court and- all . the
time he wa leading Guilford on he
said nothing to the other jurors. . -
Guilford 1 now In the county Jail
awaiting the actio of the grand jury.
The ease Is to be taken up by the
Inquisitors during the coming week.
Fouts says he will send his attorney
to the district attorney's office to re
quest that he and Sweek be called as
- witnesses. - v . ; V:, ; , ; - j-
Gullford, It la learned, lived at Min
neapolis two or three year. Ha was
in the wholesale ice cream business.
He left Minneapolis tinder cloud about
four months ago, after his store had

Washington, May 14. Enjoyment by
Portland merchants of equal right
with Puget sound merchant Iq war de
partment bualnes with ;, Manila was
brought a little closer by Senator Cham
berlain's Interviews with the eeretary
of war today. The senator urged fur
ther steps to equalise conditions, re
ceiving a reply from Dickinson wherein
he gives assurance that emits will be
made to aocede to Portland' demand.
Dickinson's answer In part follows;
"If It Is, as stated by you, in the in
terest , of Portland dealers, so far a
conoerns competition with other deal
ers for Manili supplies, for the quar
termaster' department to have the con
tract for transportation between Port
land and Manila, It I regretted that no
bid for this service were submitted by
Portland transportation companies. ' It
Is not believed, however, that the fact
that the Quartermaster's department ha
no contract for transportation service
between Portland and Manila win in
terfere with competition by dealer
of Portland for . supplies required at
Manila, as advertisements for supplies
for Manila will be made at Portland a
well as at Seattle and Tacoma. and.
tumid awards be made to Portland
dealer where the quantity of supplie
1 less than would Justify advertising
for special rates, such shipment must
of necessity be made on steamers ply
ing between Portland and Manila, or
sent to other. Paclf lo coast port for
shipment." ' , ,
