Pavld II. IStrowbrldKo presided at the
meeting, which was held in the Stock
perfectly satisfied that the proceeding
should "have "a stone tied around its
neck and be dropped Into the well of
oblivion."
Judge McOinn and Attorney Wood are
now close friends and View the affair
In a Jocular manner. The proceedings
rose as the result of the publication of
r a cartoon of William M. I.add In the
Oregonian November 3, 1906. The car
toon was declared to be libelous and the
i matter was submitted to the grand Jury.
District Attorney John Manning depu
tised Colonel Wood, who was attorney
' for Mr. Ladd, that he might present the
facts In person to the grand jury. Mc
Ginn, as representative of the Oregoni
an, "broke into" the grand jury room
and protested against Colonel Wood's
presence. Colonel Wood withdrew, but
the incident finally led to contempt pro
ceedings in which a fine of $25 was im
posed upon McGinn. The Indictment
desired was never returned.
In writing to secure tlio views of
Colonel Wood as to the dismissal of
the contempt proceedings Deputy Ma
gulre jokingly wrote: "I should infer
that .Tndire Mrfllnn endeavored to have
certain differences between himself '
and you settled by. the ancient ordeal
Of battle. The record does not give
the fight by rounds, and does not
even state to whom the decision wa.j
awarded. Assuming that the contest
was a draw, I would suggest, unless a
return match is desired, that it might
be well to call off all bets."
"I remember perfectly well the pro
ceeding," answered Colonel Wood, "and
- at this autumn time of life and of the
year, I am willing that It should have
a stone tied around its neck and be
dropped Into the well of oblivion. I
should certainly refuse to meet Judge
McGinn In the ordeal of combat, as I
am not up to his weight."

have been in an adjoining office at the
time, but she heard no sound.
The 'police have taken possession of a
bloodstained towel found across Mrs.
Gay's body. The killer evidently had
washed his hands at a lavatory in the
corner of the room and after using the
towel, tossed it on the corpse. He theu
swept the papers and magazines from a
table over the body and made his escape.
Pipe Wrapped in Paper.
The murderer did his work with
fiendish abandon. Spurts of blood
stained the ceiling above the body and
bloody wisps of hair were scattered
about the room.- - . ...
Several teeth, knocked from the wo
man's jaws by the force of the gas pipe
blows, were scattered on the floor. The
Jaw was broken.
The i;as pipe apparently had been
carefully prepared for Its part. It had
been wrapped and wound with brown
wrapping paper, possibly to deaden the
sound of the blows. It Is held by the
police as the only possible clue to the
murder yet unearthed.
Slaver's Threat Is Recalled.
A promising line for the searchers
W. H. Bewick, a Denver real estate
man, who was arrested in Portlar.d yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff E. P. Dunlap
and Detective William Powell of Den
ver on suspicion of being a swindler,
tills morning hotly contended that his
arrest lis the result of mistaken iden
tity anM that he intends to fight extra
dition Jo Denver on those grounds.
The officers claim that just at the
time they took the man into custody
he was making a deal for the sale of
a fictitious piece of property in Denver
for Portland property. The man and
his wife have been living at 110 Jeffer
son street for the past 10 days.
The method used by the swindler
sought,- and whom the Colorado offi
cials think they hav.in Rewick, was
to determine from alfprospective cus
tomer Just where he wished to buy
property, and then execute worthless
deeds for the property. It is said that
the swindler cleared at least $100,000
by these methods, ills operations ex
tended all over the middle western
states,' and there are at least 12 victims
Involved who have complained to the
Colorado officials. It is asserted.
Deputy Sheriff Dunlap, one of the i
ornciais who came from Rewick, de
clares he was swindled out of $30,000
by the man, who traded him two farms
in Iowa for a farm in Colorado.
The officials have wired to Denver
for extradition papers.
Superior Judge W. L. Pierce, who was
on the bench here at that time.
Later Gay was married to Miss Lu
cille Daniels, but she brought suit for
divorce before Superior Judge H. S. Tor
rance on November 10, 1902. She. filed
23 allegations of cruelty against Gay.
and he filed a cross complaint witn
seven charges of cruelty. The trial wns
a fantous one. It was taken to tho
supreme court first on a writ of man

ALLOWS $500 FOR
FRANCHISE PROBE
(Continued From Page One.)
a movement said to have beeriv wet afoot
by merchants of the Alder and Stark
street districts to prevent the proposed
new routing:- It waa pointed out that
something "like 200 cars pass First and
Alder streets every hour, and thnt less
than 60 pass Third and Yamhill.
Tlie diversion of some of the broad
gauge cars now making the loop in the
congested district would, declared all
the speakers, result In a more speedy
and expeditious schedule of the cars
that serve east side residents exclu
si vely.
Ira Powers urged that a petition be
prepared and circulated among the
people Interested in tho tHawthorne
street bridge service. J. Fred Larson
declared tho people aro not satisfied
with the old routing and that General
Manager Ulld of the P. R. L. & P.
company had suggested action by these
people to bring about a change.
He said Commissioner Daly was
agreeable to the change and that the
East Side Push clubs, so far as they
understood It, were favorable, because
It would save sometimes as much as 30
minutes iu running time.
Public's Wishes Consulted.
Frank Motter deplured tho new man
agement of the traction company Is
eager to cooperate with the wishes of
the public in the matter of car service
and to harmonize the business Interests
with tho residents' Interest.
Mr. Harrison insisted that the move
ment started at the noon meeting
should not bo misunderstood as a busi
ness men's gathering:, because the whole
east side south of the .Morrison street
bridge was conccrnixi. and not merely
tho merchants along whose territory
the rerotited cars might pass.
A meeting of the cominittee was
called for this afternoon, when definite
plans would be discussed for the fight
to sustain the traction company in its
change of its looping system.
"This matter has been entirely mis
construed !y the public," said K. I
Fuller, vice president" of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company, this
morning. "The creation of a new loop
on Yamhill street will not mean the
abandonment of the Alder or Stark
street loops at all.
1 he new loop is proposed in order
to relieve the congestion now existing
at the other two loops. To throw all
the traffic on Yamhill would be simply
going from the frying pan Into the fire.
Ihe new loop would mean the rerouting
or some or the lines that now come over
the Hawthorn street bridge, but not
necessarily all of them, and. in fact, the
the plans are only untative.
"They have not been worked out, and
it has not yet been decided what lines
would use the rirwioup. ThylmaTretnrasT
to bo studied with a view of remedying
the congestion on Second street. The
Idea' Is, that by the removal of a few
lines to Yamhill street loop, which Is
on the edge of the congested downtown
district, the cars would be able to get
through the Alder street loop more ex
peditiously. "Our station is at First and Alder,
and the principal transfer points are
south of Yamhill street, and so want to
get tho public as near these points as
possible. If we could put one car in
five around u Yamhill street loop in
stead of the Alder the congestion would
be greatly relieved. Between 5 and C
o'clock at night it is extremely difficult
to get the cars down Alder to First A
few of them transferred to Yamhill
would mean better service all around."
The proposed new loop embraces Mad
ison to Second or Third, to Yamhill,
thence to First and back to Madison.

Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 27.- Address
ing tho progressive party state commit
tee here this afternoon, Theodore UooSfe
vclt declared Tammany's overthrow the
vital issue of the coming New York
campaign. Ho uttered a warning, how
ever, against the enthronement, as a
substitute for the Tarn many I tes of the
Barnes republican machine, "Hoas Mur
phy of Tammany and Boss Barnes of
the republican party In New York.' he
snld, "occupy toward one another some
thing such positions as are not Infre
quently taken by two prize fighter
who, looking on fighting purely as a
business, travel about, fighting for the
gate receipts on a Imsls of 60 per cent
to the winner and 40 per cent to the
loser."
Speaking of the Sulzer Impeachment
case, he said:
"All the matters now produced be
fore the impeachment court were well
known at the time the Tammany lead
ers were proclaiming Sulzer a second
Andrew Jackson. They remained si'
lent concerning them until Sulier re
fused to take orders from Tammany
hall.
"The governor is attacked, not be-
cause of anything he did before he took
office, but because, after he took of
fice, he hunted down corr-uptton and
championed the cause of popular gov
eminent and the people's rights against
Tammany s mandate.
"I call the attention of those con
servatives who profess horror at the
progressive doctrine of the recall to
what has been done In this Sulzer case,
in the absence of a popular recall.
"I ask you whether you prefer re
call by the people at the polls to re
call by Murphy at the end of a tele
phone wire."

STOCK AT KITTITAS
When aged Mrs. Alice Snyder had
completed her testimony regarding the
methods used by Benjamin F. Atherton,
St. Johns real estate man, to secure
from her $1300 on worthless securities,
District Judge Dayton bound Atherton
over to tho grand Jury. Even the fact
that Atherton had been married but two
weeks before had no effect on Mrs.
Snyder. Atherton was placed under
$2600 bonds and remanded to jail when
he failed to produce the amount.
Mrs. Snyder was very infirm, and
her appearance was one of the few
times she has left her rooming house on
the fifth floor of the Goodnough build
ing to venture on the streets. She tes
tified that Atherton procured the money
during the past two years In small
amounts, never ever $40 at a time, j
The papers he left with her for security
were exhibited and proved mere copies
of contracts, the originals of which
Atherton had never owned.
Once before Atherton has been In
trouble for a similar offence, and only
escaped trial on the Indictment at that
time because Mrs. Ltzette Harrison, a
public stenographer, who complained
that ho secured $250 from her on ficti
tious notes, was repaid prior to the
trial and refused to prosecute further.
Other charges were made at various
times against Atherton, including one
by R Bautlkoftuy-a- grocer, -that Ather-J
ton, who is a Spiritualist, secured $5000
from ileutlkofer's wife through his Spir
itualistic influences. This case never
came to a head' because Beautlkofer
could produce nothing In writing to sub
stantiate the charge.
Attorney Chester Murphy has been
retained by Mrs. Snyder as special
prosecutor to assist Deputy District At
torney Delcli. Mr. Murphy declared that
Mrs. Snyder had no desire to make the
diHtiict attorney's office a collection
agency, but desired to punish Atherton.

Albany, N. Y.. Sept. 27. Governor
Sulzer's lawyers today had the testi
mony to be offered in his defense at the i
impeachment trial here, well in hand.
- Besides what he will say for himself,
and his wife's story, they rely chiefly
on John Hennessey, who conducted a
special Investigation for the governor
ana is said tohave evidence involving
the tatter's bitterest enemies In a plot
to ruin him.
Smarting under the charge made by
State Superintendent of Fublttj Works
Duncan Peck, yesterday, that Sulzer
asked Peck to perjure himself, the gov
ernor has insisted that his attorneys re
call Peck for cross-examination and
compel him to fix the time and place of
the alleged conversation and to tell who
was present at the time.
It was said today by the governor's
friends that there were witnesses at
the interview and that Sulzer will have
them put on the stund to prove Peck's
statements a "deliberate Ho."
Attorneys for both the prosecution
and defense were taking advantage to
day of the court's adjournment from
yesterday afternoon until Monday for
conferences. The prosecution's repres
entatives, asserting that their most sen
sational testimony Is yet to come, said
they will put 40 witnesses on the stnml
hext week to show how Sulzer collected
$100,000 for his campaign fund. Law
yers for the defense replied that they
are not worrying.
