' Tha commissioner slt that though a
majority.-" 'to date, do not approve mc
plan of paying for ' water quannriy in
advance, but seem, to prefer to pay by
, th month, he still sees. a way out. It
would be through the passage of an en

not aeslnst the tenant "but against the

the city attorney If such an ordinance

, s Water Supply Tery Important.
'f'The supply of water Is fully as im
Bortant to nronerty as street improve
reents,' : suggested Commissioner Daly,
'Xt special Importance is the con
tinuity of service. But there Is no as
; (rurance or guarantee of continuity of
service on the part of the casual tenant
who may move in this week and nut
next" -
Commissioner Daly's attitude toward
ITater meters is of considerable signifU
eance. His estimate of economy In
metering the water supply confirms the
position of Tbe Journal on this same
matter and vindicates the campaign
undertaken to have meters installed for
... all water consumers.
Without meters individual consum
ers have an opportunity, which the
most- rigid inspection cannot correct,
of using more water than they pay for,
much i of which is wasted. Consumers
aear the reservoir' may take from the
mains so much pressure that consumer

,tn fact, without water meters, the
problem of Installing larger mains to
carry water to-a rapidly increasing pop
ulation is soon; to assume serious pro
portions, ' according to the adviee of
Experts, '.
-xThe decrease of" Inspection necessary
lth metered' service would be caused
from the fact that Inspectors now spend
much of their time trying to detect
Violators of rules and discovering, leaks
which, property owners would them
eelvas take care of if a leak meant in
creased service cost ,
K "Our water service Is not on a lori-
cat or aclentif ic basis,", explained Comri
missioner uaiy. "We cannot hope tn

law," showed up and gave her between
300 and $500. v February, of Mil,
she -said he made his unexpected ap
pearano in Portland and gave her
$1700, and in June of 1912 conveniently
arrived tn-tne city and handed her an.
other 11000.
At ho time, she declared under cross
examination, did he come . when Dr.
Howard was present, and in faqt he did
not register at any of the local hotels.
He usually remained a short time be
tween trains. ' v
She stated also that Dudamdor passed
through Portland about three weeks
ago and telephoned her. He, also sent
her a box of flowers. She said she
could not rememoer the florist. At the
time, she asserted, he said he was on
route to Tasmania-

she said she had resided In New York.
had later separated from her parents
and since her marriage had not corre
sponded with her people because they
did not approve of the match.
In this connection and regard to
how and when she received money from
Dudamdor, she was very evasive and
the prosecution had a hard time pinning
her down to anything definite.
This afternoon Mrs. Howard was
scheduled to take the stand again, and
the prosecution Intimated it would
carry out a line of cross-examination in
n effort to show that the money, which
she testified Dudamdor so conveniently
gave her was in reality given by Mag
Rleter, who at the time was maklnif
hie home with the Howards and was a
patient of Di Howard. In this ' con
nection the plaintiffs charge that the
Howards connived to secure Rleter'a
fortune and took advantage of hla weak
mental condition to work upon hi
pursestrings. '
In an effort to prove Water was fit
mentally to make a will on March 7,
19U, four days before hls .desth. th
defense put Dr.' W. T. Williamson, a
local expert on mental diseases, on the
stand after Mrs. Howard was excused.
Qn direct examination Dr. Williamson
said he had talked to Rleter on March f
just before he made his will and he
seemed ssne.
Under cross examination Pr. William
son stated he found two groaa adhesions
on Rleter'a brain following his death. He
also admitted that he had recommended
that Rleter be sent to a sanitarium, as
the man had suffered from delusions.
In this connection the prosecution
oolnted out that Rleter In 1910 had
Jumped from a moving passenger train
at Prosser to esoapa imaginary enemies
and the Injuries resulting brought him
under Dr. Howsrd care. Asked if such
an action did not indicate lnsanity. Dr. I
Williamson replied "Yes." Noon recess
was then taken.

At the close of the trial last night

who had been a witness for the state.
McPherson was arrested.
John McPherson gave the sheriff

long chase before he was captured in

It Is further alleged that "pursuant
to said instructions said Olcott drew
such warrants and tha said Stat Treas
urer Kay paid the sum, and tha t tbe
total suma so paid wag i,si8.sg."
The charge l then made that "said
moneys, nor any part thereof, were ever
appropriated rrom the state treasury by
any act or Jaw of the state of Oregon;
nat tne payroent thereof was In addi
tion to ad in excess of all moneys ap
propriated by law for the support, main

mentioned; and that all money appro

with the Bald appropriation, end all the
foregoing sums were distributed, dis
bursed and paid out a aforesaid without
warrant or authority of law therefor,
and no appropriation whatever was - ever
made by the legislature of the state of

'That said pretended claims against

by said board were, Incurred by direction
of said defendant, Oswald West, gov
ernor of the state of Oregon, acting in
his capacity as trustee of said Oregon
state penitentiary, pursuant to the pre
tended authority and agreement."
In this connection the history of the
case shows that Governor West called
the attention of the attorney general
In a letter of May T last, to charges
made in Portland papers that the pen
itentiary revolving fund had been mis
applied and thatithe earnings were not
turned over to the state treasurer.
Thl charge was made as t the fund

the period In lll mentioned in tne
complaint, '. "vvi,,f, ,'-. ;( V
Whatever the result of thia ult may
be it will be shown that the board fol
lowed the precedents ;snd practices of
the preceding board. Tha governor in
his letter asked tne attorney general to

not yet seen fit to eover the whole

Governor West speaking of the mat
ter some days ago, and before this suit
was filed, suggeeted that If the whole
bunch was sent te the penitentiary that
he himself would like to get a Job taking
care of the chickens, that Olcott might
run the hog ranch and Tom Kay the
tailor shop. 1 He also suggested that
"Bill" Ofttene and "Pat" McArthur could
take the shingles off the roof of the
foundry and perhaps put a new roof on.
in governor is not worrying, and at
least think he can show a proper and
beneficial use of the money. Olcott
says any old day- that he has no In
junction or mandamus, or some kind of
a suit filed against him he feels that
he Is being neglected, and Tom Kay
just goes on paying warrants.
Governor weet had not been served
with the papers up to 1 o'clock. He said
he would have nothing to cay until he
