t ' ' - PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, : JANUARY . 16, 1 1911. ; THE OREGON DAILY ' JOURNAL, IflDGE'S BACKERS WHISTLE MERRiLY-ASCOUWS Two Fleet Standpatters, Speed : to Boston Jo. Jring Succor to Harassed Scholar In Pol itics, in Hour of Need. - (Cnltfd Prpa Wire.) , Boston, Jan. 16. Although proclaim ing to th,e world at large that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is siire of reelec tion to the United States senate on the first ballot in the legislature to- ' morrow, evidence that his supporters ere a, little nervous is seen here today In the announcement that Congressman , Augxistus Gardner," Lodge's son-in-law, and Senator Murray Crane Will be here this afternoon from Washington to stif fen up the battle line for the "scholar In politics." . " Steady and persistent opposition to the return of Lodge to the senate of fered by Governor Eugene N. Fosa, a personal enemy, Is admitted to' have tnade the work of Congressman Butler Ames In opposing Lodge much easier than It otherwise would have been, and the standpat tendencies of Lodge, coupled with the influence of Foss and . Ames, make his victory, If he is vic torious, one bought only by hard fight Ing. The arrival of Crane and Gardner on the scene is expected greatly to strengthen the hands of Lodge. Crane has great influence throughout the state. ' Political promises will be used un sparingly to aid Lodge, as his defeat, following upon the retirement of Sen ators Hale and Aldrlch, would mean the practical passing of the most strongly standpat warriors of Mew England, and 1 the coming iinto power of a free trade element which is fought bitterly by all the big tarirr-benefited interests of this . part Of tDe country. , For a time it was expected that Colonel Roosevelt would be on hand for the ballot tomorrow, but this is now believed improbable. ' Roosevelt is ex pected to reply, with an eleventh hour broadside to recent assertions by Con gressman Ames that he and Lodge had engaged in some rather equivocal po litical deals, and this, Lodge's friends hope, will aid in holding In line legisla tors whose support is considered doubt? ful. Representative Butler Ames Issued a nply last night to ex-President Roose velt, who liad charged Mr. Ames with "deliberate falsehood' in connection with statements regarding the alleged con- . nectlon of Senator Lodge with an effort to sell some colliers to the navy depart ment. In his reply Representative Ames aid In part: "I do not question your denial of the conversation between yourself and Senator-Lodge and the secretary of the navy. In fact, I expected you to do so. And a cabinet officer cannot be expected to verify tho accuracy or inaccuracy of a conversation with his chief. "I was authoritatively informed that you did use the words I have credited you with, but whether" you did or not. Is of minor important, and this particular part ,of the controversy may be safely left to some future time." Boek; building next Tuesday evening, January 17, at S o'clock. . "Aa plans' for carrying the gqod roads campaign to a successful conclusion will be considered at this meeting, and as the fight for the adoption of the, five highway bills is not by any means won as yet, it Is the duty of every sub scriber, and everyone elie Interested in the good roads movement to attend this meeting and help us boost for the adop tion of these bills." The invitation to attend the good roads meeting has been sent in tho form stated' as above to several hundred Portland citizens. The advisability' of submitting the state aid, convict labor highway board and commissioner bills, together with the bonding act for coun ties, .to the legislature early this week will be considered. If the bills are in troduced beforo the legislature this week plans for chartering a special train to carry 300 or more good roads boosters to the good roads day at the capital will be made definite. , The Oregon Good Roads association Is receiving reports of renewed Interest in highway making from all parts of the state. Jackson and Douglas coun ties arc particularly -aptive, while the poople of Hood River county are united in a well organized better highways movement. Educational matter Im pressing Oregon's need for better roads if the best development of the state is to be obtained, has been sent . Into every county and nearly every com munity by the good roads association. On this account the reports that are coming in of active work in actual road building are particularly gratifying.

We believe in state eld. but we believe that the abutting pnwrty owners should not be called upon to locate the roads or to pay di rectly toward their cost, because such an amendment to the bill will greatly handicap the work of the county courts, C which 'defilre to build first the main trunk highways, then to construct the laterals In the order of their lmpor ' tanee." From statements made by county Judges and commissioners from other . Oregon counties, it became apparent that the good roads movement meets with . almost unanimous favor, and the bills . with but few exceptions are recommend ed by tlie county Judges and commis sioners for adoption by the legislature. ; Among those who were registered .in attendance at the convention this morn ing were: Those Present.

Keep quiet and everything will be all right ' " This statement by the Klein woman caused a sensation in the courtroom and the attendants were obliged to threaten. expulsion in order to quiet a demonstra tion made by the spectators. When quiet was agnln restored the witness was asked If .she had any per sonal animosity agalnRt Mrs. Schenk. "No, indeed," she said with a laugh. Set to Catch a Poisoner. On further questioning, Mrs. Klein admitted she had been Instructed to leave nothing undone to give Mrs. Schenk the idea that she (the witness) was Mrs. Schenk's frjend; to He if nec .esBary, and. to leave no stone unturned to catch her, If possible, in the act of administering the poison which It was suspected was being systematically fed to the sick millionaire. ' When Attorney Boyce, for the de fense, asked Mrs. Klein if It was not true that she had been paid to conspire. against the . defendant. Prosecutor Handlan was instantly on his feet with a vigorous objection, and the Jury was conducted from the courtroom while the two attorneys fought out the question of admissibility of Buch a line of cross examination. Handlan declared that such an imputation on the character of the witness was unwarranted. Boyce was bitter. Calls Mrs. Klein Sly Liar, f "A true" detective," he said, "Is a member of a profession entitled to re spect This woman Is not such a per son. She Is a sly liar and I Intend to treat her for what she is." During the battle of the lawyers Mrs. Klein smiled broadly on various 'occa sions and when she was termed a "sly liar" she laughed outright, with evi dent enjoyment. In the effort to attack Mrs. Klein's credibility, Attorney Boyce went at great length lntq her private history, realising, apparently, that her testi mony was perhaps the most damaging so far adduced against his client. Mrs. Klein declared that she was married in 1894 at Bellalre, Ohio, to Dr. Julius Klein, from whom sho separated In 1898, and that she secured a divorce in Pittsburg In 1900. From that time on, she said, she had combined the pro fessions of nurse and detective. Boyce was unable to shake her testi mony against Mrs. Schenk in any ma terial respect. Mrs. Klein's Account of Herself. Detailing her life at length, in an swer to tho cross examination of At torney Boyce, Mrs. Klein said: "For three years after my husband LURES AS BEFORE Character Made Famous by Blanche Bates Is Handled Well by Ada Adair. Splendid I epitomizes the play, scenery and clever work of the actors In "The Girl of the Golden West," which opened at the Baker threatre last night As "the girl,'' Ada Adair, the possessor of a dn2zling smile, and the Baker's new leading kidy, i scored a triumph,' and Thomas McLarnle, as Jack Ranee, gam bler and sheriff, inado a mighty good villain. His work, always good, last night was excellent. Thurston Hall played up to his stand ard, but contracted with the convincing character depiction by Miss Adair, he seemed unreal in the role of Dick John son, alias Ramerrea, road agent and successful suitor for the girl's, hand. In the lexicon of the girl, he "had to take her dust." Blanche Bates made "The Girl of the Golden West" famous, but It would have found a niche In the heart of the public any way, because it is a brilliant dar ing, visualized story of the days when the west was In swaddling clothes, "reachln' out," as the girl said. The girl, the outlaw and this sheriff are the principal characters. But the development of the plot gives John Bur ton, as Sonora Slim, many chances to work in his infectious comedy along with tue other "boys." The scenery is really fine. Every thing was complete down to the smallest details From tho first scene a moving panorama of the Sierras back from Monterey, to the last drop when the girl, facing the rising sun, said farewell to her California mountains', the audi ence sat enthralled. The repeated encores indicated Just how much the production was appreciated. left me I was an invalid. Recovering after that time I took up nursing, do ing, that and whatever else I could to earn an honest living for myself and my children. Three years ago I became a detective." ' Mrs. Klein was rlsibly amused by the way In which Attorney Boyce shouted his questions at her. "You lied to Mrs. Schenk, didn't you 7" Boyce yelled. "If that's what you call It, I guess I did," she repllejL smiling broadly. For three hours Boyce continued his cross-examination ' of Mrs. Klein, the witness coolly parrying his thrusts and smiling amusedly from time to time as her adroitness confounded the attorney. Not an essential point in her testimony was successfully attacked, and the woman's shrewd and humorous answers on several occasions convulsed the spec tators with laughter. ' - Throughout the whole of the battle of wits Mrs. Schenk sat apparently the most uninterested person in the court Not' once did she betray either amuse ment or emotion, and even the most damaging testimony of the nurse Bhe Is alleged to have partially confided In caused her to wince Art Department Meeting. j The art department of the Woman's club will meet tomorrow In the Art Museum at 2:45 o'clock.
