,
Justice of the Peace O. R. Downs of
St. Johns, who Is a veteran of the Civil
' . war and wears a long gray beard, made
witness ror-.tne stale Uils
morning in the ' trial of Gordon Dirki.
who Is charged with being one of the
leaders In the mob that chased Hindus
t out of the town on the night of March
21. - r

ment or what he saw of the riot, declar
, ing Jlckle was one of the men partic
ipating In it .', ' .
"I took an oath to tell all the truth,
.and I am going to tell It," said Downs.

, Ing the law and I knew It was my duty
to stop, the thing." :
Mayor on Stand.
In sharp contrast to the frank state
ment of Downs, was" the conduct of
Mayor J. F. Hendricks, who was also
called for the state. He appeared with
Thomas O'Day as his attorney and re
fused to' testify,; on the ground he la
under Indictment himself and his an
swer might tend to incriminate him.
Ha was thereupon excused by the court.
Both he and Downs were indicted on
the charge of neglecting s: to ; perform
their duty in suppressing the riot. Now
that Downs has made a. free statement
, of what , he saw, It is expected the
charge against him will be dismissed
later on by tho district attorney. ,
. Downs saicj. he was In the doorway of
his office m St. Johns when his atien-
, tion was attracted to a crowd of pert
haps 50 .men, who brought several Hin
dus, and seated , them- on a bench in
,. front o his office while waiting the ar
rival of a car." Dickie was there, He
said,' and when one of the Hindus tried
to rise' from the bench Dickie pushed
him back and said, "keep quiet, ydu've
' got someland 'youULget some more If
you don't . keep ; still." One of the
Hindus was: wiping blood from his face.
' Dickie was one of the men who put
the Hindus on the car, said Downs, and
his Impression wa3 Dickie paid their
fares out of town. He heard some, one
ask if they had money enough, and he
, thought it was Dickie who responded
they had enough already.
' Identifies Dickie.
Maharah Singh, one of the Hindus
dragged from apartments over a butcher
shop. Identified Dickie as the .man who
appeared ta be. the 'leader jof ,lhe'mob
' when It broke into their rooms.. Jle said
the other men followed Dickie. - He de
clared Dickie struck him, drew a re
volver, and took J 14 from his pocket.
About 16 men came Into their rooms,
he said. After hey were taken from the
house, said the witness, Dickie put him
on the car and paid his fare. !. .
The Hindu's testimony was given
through Taraknath S Das, a learned
Hindu interpreter, to whom the defense
made objection Jast Saturday , because
of the alleged unreliability of. all Hin
dus when called, to give . or Interpret
testimony In American courts.'' v The de
fense wanted Captain William Oadsby,
bit. Captain Gadsby was not willing to
come and the objection to Mr. Das was
withdrawn. - -- A--.-,
Charles Davis, "a clerk In the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company's office,
near the scene of the riot, said he saw
a white man dragging a Hindu across
the street. The Hindu broke away,, and
the white man knocked him hown.
, Dr. J. V. Scotti a dentist of St Johns,
told what he saw from his office Win
dow in an uptown, building. He wit.
nessed the. knocking down of two Hin
dus by a white man, ho said, and he saw
the mob Conducting its captives to the
streetcars.
CAPITALISTS WOULD
BUY OLD CAR BARN
An offer for the old car barn property
. of the Portland Railway, Light & Power
company at Twenty-third and Washing
ton streets, has been made to President
B. S. JoBselyn by local capitalists, and
a substantial forfeit has been put up,
but President Josselyn has not yet fully
decided to make the sale.
The company has been planning tor
some time to remove its carshops to a.
more suitable location than at the en
trance to the City Park, but the plans
have not been completed yet, and it is
not considered likely that the old shop
site will be disposed of until the new
location has been fully decided upon.
The present site was ideal for the
service in the early days of Portland,
but with the system extended In every
direction of the city It-Is no longer as
handy as a number of sites now con-1
; trolled by the railroad , company - and
" available for such a purpose.

SHE lil ESTATE
George T. Myers, Father, Cut
Her Off With $20,000 of
. $300,000; She Will Get as
Much as Brother. ;
: Former County Judge Webster's de
cision setting aside the will of George
T. Myers, ' once state senator ' and
wealthy salmon packer, was upheld by
Ctejjjlt Judge Bronaugh this afternoon
In a decision on appeal from the county
ccmrt This establishes ' the right of
Mrs. j Georgia Frances Stevens', v only
daughter of Myers.-no an equal share
with her brother, George, T. Myers, Jr.;
in an estate valued at $300,000 or more.
By . the will of the elder Myers: his
daughter, was cut off with ,$20,000, and
this, came from property left by her
mother which her father felt in honor
bound to give her. All the rest he dei
vised to his son. ; Mrs. Stevens con
tested the win and overturned it In the
county court on the ground that her
father harbored Insane delusions, he
having accusfcd her and Dr. S. R. Robin
son of having caused the death of his
wife by Improper treatment
. The, case was ted In the county
court over a year ago and attracted
much attention,; many prominent resi
dents of the .city being, called on each
side. A small army of witnesses testi
fied to the eccentricities of the elder
Myers ln his declining years and his
bitterness of mind tnwrd him Aa,i.
ter, for which they could see nv founds-1
nun. i, ib 'proponents or tne will
showed that during this time Myers was
conducting his business as usual and
attempted to prove the treatment of
Dr. Robinson was unskillful, In order
to show that Myers had reason to com
plain. '
Judge Bronaugh declared he was un
able to arrive at any other conclusion
except that Myers was unbalanced in
mind. Disinterested witnesses and many
of fthem, gave such testimony, and the
Judge further held that nothing was
shown to discredit - the professional
treatment provided by Dr. Robinson.
Mayer Simon and Martin L. Pipes rep
resented the younger Myers in the liti
gation, while Henry E. McGinn and H.
H. Northup appeared for Mrs. Stevens.
The case is to be.: appealed to the

The Port of Portland has no legal au
thority to lease the. city drydock.to a
private corporation however desirable
it may regard such an arrangement.
This is the effect of a' decision ren
dered by Circuit Judge Bronaugh this
afternoon overruling the demurrer to
the complaint of Captain Albert Crowe,
who asked for an injunction restraining
the Port of Portland from leasing the
dock and :thus giving a monopoly i to
the Oregon Drydock xompanyi ; '
: This decision is. decisive of the case,
as there is no disagreement regarding
the facts. In an, affidavit filed by the
Port of Portland members they de
clared they did nor Intend to relin
quish the right to make regulations in
leasing the dock, but this does-not af
fect the declslin. which holds the right
to lease does not exist because it is In.
consistent with the act conferring au
thority to own and operate, a public
deck. .. : -
Among other things this act provided
that nothing In it shall, be construed to
authorise the Port of Portland to carry
on the work of cleaning, painting and
repairing ships that enter the dock, but
provides that such work, under direc
tion of the port commission, shall be
open to, the various mechanics of the
City. ,',,...,,:?.' .,. ,:'..,,.,.. ;, ,:, . . ,
These provisions of the act are -alleged
In the complaint and are held by
Judge Bronaugh to show the legisla
tive intent was that the dock shall be
open for the doing of such work. The
Port of Portland is thus held to occupy
a sort of trust relation which (t can
not delegate, and leasing would be in
consistent with the powers and require
ments laid down.
Raphael Citron argued the case for
the .; plaintiff, being associated - with
Henry E. McGinn in opposing the leas
ing of the dock. Williams, Wood A
Llnthlcum and Isaac D. Hunt appeared
for the Port 'of Portland. V
