This testimony was . given yesterday after noon by lssio Strassburg, a waiter in a Kosher restaurant, who claims his dis charge from the restaurant a few weeks ago was due to Ooffey. "Mi-. Keisjer, proprietor of the res taurant in which I was working, came to me one day," said the witness, "and said that Mr. Coffey had been at the restaurant the day before. Kessler said that Coffey asked him to discharge me and save trouble. At first the proprie tor refused, but later told the commis sioner he would do as he wished.

The preliminary hearing was rather theatrical, In that the court room win dows and walls were used to describe the course taken by the bullets which killed Smith. These bullets were pro duced as exhibits.' (Washington Bursas of Tn Journal.) Washington, Feb. 10. Senator Cham berlain recently drew out considerable Information regarding the mohair indus try in Oregon by a remark to the effoct that the angoras had been introduced into Oregon largely to help clear land, and tnat they had been successfully used for lhat purpose. It has been shown that there are some 1500 persons engaged in raising angoras in Oregon and that the mohair produced there Is peculiarly soft and glossy because of tne ravorable climatic conditions. Until comparatively recent times, al most tha entire supply of mohair was oDtainea from Constantinople. For some time all attempts made to accll matlse the angora goat elsewhere proved unsuccessful, aj when removed from its native mountains the wool deteriorated and lost Its distinctive features. It has now, however, proved successful in South Africa, especially in the Natal district, whence the so called "blue" hair Is now exported. Mohair is" also successfully grown In Australia and In the United States. The best mohair is still shipped from Constantinople and is called Turkey mohair, though by far the largest quantity received In the United Kingdom comes from South Af rica. The growers In South Africa clip twice a year, there being a tendency otherwise for the goats to shed their hair. The first clip, called the summer hair, Is shorn In April, and is the longer hair; the second clip in August, called the winter hair, Is the short hair. The finest hair is that of the so called "Cape kids." being the first clip taken from the animal. Alpaca (the hair of the alpaca or Pe ruvian goat) la a material often classi fied with mohair, as both of these fibers are distinguished for their silky texture and bright, silvery, almost metallic lus ter. Alpaca was the first of these raw materials to be utilized commercially. FAMOUS FRENCH PREACHER DIES her, it is said. Girls Tell of Xrasners. Four girls, giving the names of Rosa Smith, Anna Banks, Mollie Spero and Fannlo Schaferi testified they roomed at the lodging bouse conducted by Kras ner and his wire. They said they paid J2G a week 'for room and board. The Spero girl said she paid the money for the room and the privilege of being chambermaid. When asked to explain where she got the money with which to pay, she said she got It by immoral means. Part of the time the girls paid the money to Mrs. Krasner and at other times they paid It to Krasner, they said. They also testified that Mra Krasner was severe on them, and would often give them nothing to eat except bread. They took their troubles to Kras ner, they said, for he would help them sometimes. Mra Krasner said she lived In the Couch street house and conducted it as a lodging house, denying the place was questionable. She testified she did not know she was still Krasner's wife, as divorce proceedings have been started, The witness also said she would allow no man to "boss" her. Patrolmen Nelson and Black and Po lice Sergeant Roberts testified the com. mon fame of the Couch street place was that of .a house of ill repute. In his opening statement Attorney Fouts said the fight was between two crowds of parasites. One crowd was trying to run Krasner out of town. He said a fund was collected by the oppo sition and placed In the hands of "Pad dy" Maher, erstwhile "county detective," to finance the campaign against Kras. ner. Oregon City, Or., Feb. 10.

Postal Inspectors have been buey two or three days and from now on forcei of the federal sleuths win do nothingj else but probe tha dealings of tha oom pany. ' I District Attorney McCourt la working! on the theory that the Oregon-Was bin ton Trust company was organised farnW other purpose than to hold the bonds Is sued by the Columbia Orchards com pany, after an effort to start the same establishment failed In Seattle. Speak ing of this phase ha said: Trust Company Vormed. "Some time ago the Columbia Or-, chards company, which has its office laj Seattle, entered into negotiations with the Washington Trust company, a firm! now doing business in Beattla Later: the trust company pulled out and the Orchards company must again find a trust company which would handle its' bonds and it was deemed better to or-i ganlze one than to procure one already in business to handle this character of! securities. But it takes a deposit of $60,000 to form a trust company in' Washington while on tha other hand It can be done for nothing and on noth ing In Oregon. Bo the Oregon-Washington Trust company was organised under the laws of the state of Oregon with headquarters in Portland. "The 'headquarters' consists of one room in the Chamber of Commerce building and all the papers and records of whatsoever kind which relate to the transactions of the Columbia Orchards company have been taken charge of by . this office. "The investigation into all the charges will be persistent and thorough, and as there is but one way which wo can take, the use of the malls, I want all per sons who have bought these bonds and have had any sort of mailed communi cations with either of these companies to see me or write me here."
