a very liberal estimate for the main

cost of necessary rights of ways and
minor details of construction. The sub

lOalted Press Leased Wtra.)
San Francisco, July 22. Governor
Johnson, after once having postponed
his decision in the extradition of Louts
J. Wilde of San Diego, Indicted in Port
land for embezzlement in connection
with the failure of the Oregon Savings
and Trust company, today again with
held decision until a conference be
tween District Attorney George J. Cam
eron of Portland and Attorney General
U. S. Webb of California can be had.
At thhi conference the question
whether Wilde Is guilty of embezzle
ment will be taken up. On its result
hangs Wilde's fate.
Believes Charge Is Wrong One.
Governor Johnson asserted that he
does not believe "Wilde is guilty aa al
leged In the Indictment. He says the
attorney general has rendered an opin
ion, sustaining this point.
"If you can show me,"the governor
continued, "that Wilde Is "guilty of em
bezzlement, I will grant extradition. If
you cannot, I will refuse to grant it."
The governor's final decision to with
hold ruling In the case came after con
siderable discussion of the matter, in
which Clarence Darrow, attorney for the
McNamaras, and a close friend of
Wilde, took part. Darrow was in the
governor's office at Johnson's invi
tation. ' He expressed his view of the
case at the request of the governor.
Darrow declared he did not consider
that Wilde had been guilty of embezzle
ment. "A year ago I was In your office," he
said, turning to Cameron, "and you told
me that you did not think you had
enough evidence to indiot. You may, of
course, have had other evidence since,
but from what I have seen here I do
not think It has been shown that Wilde
is guilty'
Darrow Said he had practiced law in
many states and that the law of embez
zlement was not' only definite but that
in most states It was practically the
same, and that from all his experience
he could find no precedent that would
serve to show Wilds was guilty.
Cameron anrests Bxtradltloa.
' Cameron suggested tha?. Wflde be ex
tradited, promising that If he were taken
to Portland he would be permitted to
go 1 before the grand . Jury, "where ha
could submit his own case, showing that
he was innocent. If that were the fact.

Newport. R. I., July 22. That Wil

shortly, Is the report here today. Van

The separation of the Vanderbilts oc

to Vandsrbilt's infatuation for Lina Ca

Cavalleri, the singer occupied the center
of the stage with former Sheriff "Bob"
Chanler of New York, to whom she was
married. The marriage was followed
by an almost Immediate separation
when Chanler's relatives opposed the

frankly said that she married Chanler

Sheriff Robert L. Stevens and Chief

opinion that something should be done
to curb the sale of revolvers and im
pose more severe punishment upon
those who carry death dealing weapons.
They are agreed that Portland and

In allowing the Indiscriminate sale of
revolvers, whereby lives are snuffed out
for trivial causes or as the result of
a burst of rage. Both the head of the
county peaoe service and the head of

that state laws are needed, local ordi

"I believe Oregon should enact a law
to require the registration of all small
arms, ' said Sheriff Stevens. "It Is
too easy for men to own revolvers, and
they are too handy at all times. . I cer
tainly would be in favor of practical
laws tp limit the sale of such weapons.
