to report at that time. Both sides an
nounced they were ready, and the draw

nison jind A. K. Clark. The latter it
special prosecutor. The prosecution has.
asked the county court for three men to
act' as special detectives during the
trial, which will be allowed. The, work
of selecting a jury is expected to be
difficult, as both sides will seek to se
cure Mea who have not read or talked
about Jhe case.
'. ' ' , Clark la Court.
Mr. Clark, who was' shot In the atate
house) 'grounds at Salem late Monday
night. Wl In court this morning when
the cava was eet for trial. No devel
opments- have come to reveal who his
assailant was. The Salem police report
no clues, and Mr. Clark is silent as to
his theories.
Several days ago Deputy District At
torney Fltigerald stated that threats
had been made against Clark, to the
effect that Clark would never b0 al
lowed to take part in the trial' of
Wllde.r
"Information has been received,"
said the prosecutor, "that threats have
been made against Clef. Vdon't want
to circulate any reports of that kind
publicly, but I know that such reports
have been made. The . threat was- to
the effect that Clark would never take
part la the trial o Wlhie."
Thla- Statement of Fitzgerald was
made about four days ago, and at his
request nothing was printed about It
at that time. It Is now recalled as re
flecting the Idea on which it Is pre
sumed . the authorities are working in
trying, to discover Clark's enemy. Me
would not say by whom the threats
were made. "
: ' A dispatch from Salem saying that
-Clark had declared an attempt.. as
made to open a box ox oapers and ex
hibits aent by him by express to Port
land was denied by him today.
' "I have heard nothing of an attempt
to open the box containing the exhibits,"
said Attorney Clark at. noon today." I
arranged with the clerk of the supreme
court to have expressed to the clerk of
the local circuit court the exhibits. They
were to have been sent from Salem
Monday.' ' These exhibits were In the
civil case of the receiver against the
directors."
Dan J. Malarkey, chief counsel for
"Wilde,; has issued a statement deploring
the injury. Of Clark, acoutlng the idea
; that any one connected with the de
i fense would try to kill the special pros
ecutor, and suggesting that It was un
fortunate that Clark left himself un
protected after having observed that, he
was being followed.
1 Shooting- Zs Deplored.
"From any and every standpoint my
client and my colleagues and I greatly
deplore the shooting," said Mr. Malar
key. "Insofar as Mr. Clark Is injurod
and la-suffering, he certainly has our
sincere sympathy; but we were pleased
to learn from observing him at the
courthouse this morning that he sum
talned 'no serious Injury and does not
even have to suffer the inconvenience
of carrying his-arm in a sling::
"Coming on the heels of the alleged
burglary of the- office of Mr. Clark and
the district attorney and other recent
.spectacular pnases or this case, our
great, fear is that this shooting inci
dent will make it still more difficult
for Mr. Wilds to secure a fair and im
partial, trial by an unprejudiced Jury.
In view, however, of the entire his
tory and all the circumstances of this
case, we feel that no thinking, intelli
gent person will attribute to the Wilde
defense any connection with or respon
sibility for this last affair.
f - ' : ? . Beady to Assist.
' Though the different published re
ports of the shooting do not agree in
all details, one thing Is made clear by
all reports, and that is that through
out the day Mr. Clark had Imagined or
believed he was being followed by dan-
'serous looking men and apprehended
trouble. When in view of that state of
his mind he did not call upon the Salem
authorities to protect him against and
drive off his pursuers, it seems un
fortunate that he should have permitted
himself to be alone with papers so valu
able to the prosecution in his possession
fat such a late hour of the night in so
favorable a place for attack as was the
time and place of the assault
I Mr. Wllde and his attorneys stand
ready to assist in any way in their
power In apprehending and prosecuting
and convicting the person guilty of
shooting Mr. Clark." -
IS CLARK ASSASSIN
. MAN WHO ATTEMPTED
. . TO KILL DR. F. E. SMITH?
f .
" ; '(Satan Boreas of Tba Journal.)
Salem, Or., Jan. 10. Dr. Frank E.
Smith, superintendent of the Institute
for Feeble Minded, who was shot at
mysteriously several weeks ago, sees
a significant coincidence between that
affair and the shooting of A. E. Clark.
Dr," Smith says he paid little attention
to the recent affair until the sugges
tion was made that the assailant may
have mistaken Clark for the governor.
He then recalled that among the anony
mous notes ho received prior to the
: shots fired at him one said:
t "I.wjll get you and Governor West
both ,
When Smith was shot at he was on
the way to Salem from the school In an
automobile. The shot came from a
clump of brush beside the road and the
assailant escaped In the darkness. It
may be that there is a shrewd maniac
at large in Salem who has some imagj
inary grievance against the governor
nd Dr, Smith. a
Chief of Police Ira Hamilton reported
'today noon there had been no develop
ments of any nature in the .matter of
the shooting ' of Mr. Clark. The
policeman - to' whom Clark re
ported about 1 o'clock Tuesday
morning entered a report of the shoot
ing on the .blotter. No word was sent
out to adjacent points, as, according to
Chief Hamilton, It was considered

Into Portland. -

which occurred at the meeting last week
Is expected. The mayor Is determined
that his aappointments shall stand nnd
the eight members of the council, who
are opposing him, are Just as determined
they shall not. The leaders of the
council say even if the mayor Insists
that his appointees shall serve they will

not signed.. The (nayor, however, says
that his men can recover through the

WHO IL
HAVE TO iGOVERNOR ROASTS
STAND $15,000 LOSS? LAND PROMOTER
Just who will have to stand the $15,
000 loss due (to the forgeries of Temple
W. Alexander, the O.-W. R. & N. clerk.
Is a question that Is disturbing the rail
road and the banks thrbugh wnlch
young Alexander successfully passed
his forged vouchers for over two years.
It Is highly probable that litigation may
result between the railroad ' company,
the United States National and the
Lumbermen's National banks and the
National Surety company before the
matter is straightened out.
The actual loss up to the present has
been borne by the railroad because the
vouchers were all paid the banks when
returned to the cashier's office. But
It )s eleamed by the railroad attorneys
that the banks, with their handwriting
experts, should have caught the for
geries and rejected them, and that act
ually the tin, 000 paid the banks by the
railroad was pnld them for1 "worthless
papf.r. T'ncter uch a construction suit
mieht be brought by the road to re
cover the $15,000 thus paid out.
Guaranteeing the banks from loss by
forgery, however. Is the National Surety
company of New York, which is also
lanrely Interested In the problem of
which concern is to stand the losses
caused by Alexander's forgeries.
A curious feature of the case la that
the Plnkertons. who were called In to
work on the Alexander case when the
frauds were first discovered, represent
all of the interested parties. Both banks
are members of Plnkerton Bank and
Banker's Protection, the National Surety
company Is a member and the rail
road employs them. Thus far the In
terests of all have been alike but If there
should come a split over which Is to
pay for Alexander's thefts, there would
be many complications in the case.

(Special to The Journal.).''
Seattle, Jon, 10, In recognition of
his heroic feat in rescuing th 48 per
sons who faced death on the .steam
schooner' Washington on Peacock spit
at the mouth of the Columbia river.
November 18, Jll, Captain Charles T.
"Buck" Bailey, of the tug Tatoosh, was
presented with a diamond studded
medal yesterday.. This was jriven by
Bailey's Seattle friends and admirers,
who gathered In force at the Seattle
Merchants Exchange to pay tribute to
bravery.
The ordeal of listening to the kind
words of appreciation i and of . being
greeted by the warm hand clasps of
men who spoke from the heart In ex
pressing their sentiments, proved more
trying to the old sea dog than did his
experience in braving death to pull the
Washington from destruction. Tears
welled to the eyes of Captain Bailey,
and when he tried to respond, his vole
was husky with emotion. However, he
made a most appropriate little talk.
Bringing the tug Goliath, from Astoria
to Seattle for annual Inspection and
cleaning, Captain Bailey arrived here
last night The handsome medal had
been ready for several days. An In
formal gathering of shipping men,
friends and admirers gathered at tho
Merchants Exchange. The speech of
presentation was made by E. C. Hughes,
a prominent admiralty lawyer, presi
dent of the Seattle Merchant Marine
league, who has known Captain Bailey
for years.
In making response, Captain Bailey
said that he had done only his duty
in going to thd Washington's rescue.
That he eonsidered it a most hazardous
feat is evident, notwithstanding his
modesty, for he said that had there not
been human beings aboard the ill feted
vessel he would not have risked his own
tug and the lives of his men in at
tempting to save the Washington.
