T amen to which letter SlcArthur-nart written that he would not vote to submit the amendment to the vote of the states. Hutton then testified that following his duty as suite superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league be had mad an Investigation of the official record of McArthur preparatory to reporting to the league, and started to tell what he had discovered as a result of fheae Investigations. From' that time on the examination was one ; long -objection. Bowerman objected" , to the testimony because It. was hearsay, because it was irrelevant and Immaterial and. not proper cross-eKamJnation. because- the questions were leading and because McOuIre bad not served notice that h Intended to take the deposition of the witness. owerman's View of Hutton, Bowerman said that Hutton wanted to set himself up as "the "great I am of Oregon politics and to He and spread lies. Hnd when he is called to come Into a court of Justice and like the wkunk. spread more stuff all over us." He contended It wae not ralr. "This mtn undertook to tell Mc Arthur 'thumbs up,'" Bowerman said, "and when McArthur wouldn't put his thumbs up lie came out with this lying libel, and now tries to come in here, under the sanctity of a court, with more." Judge Gatens ruled that while the questions might be Immaterial on the trial of the case, that the Issues had not been Joined, and they cou;d be asked in taking a deposition. "I will sustain the objection of Mr. Howerninn," Judge Gatens said, "but the questions and answers can go in over the objection, and the ruling of the court. Then when the case comes to trial, the trial court csn pas upon the questions, wtth the perfected plead ings before It. It Is my position that this Is Just a 'fishing expedition,' and in this proceeding the court sits more as an ornament than as a court, with out power to control the course of the testimony. That will have to be done when the record herq is presented for admission as testimony at the trial."' Hutton Gives Further Details. Hutton then continued with the re mit of hie investigations into Mc Arthur's record. "I found," he said, "that In the legis lative session of 1913 McArthur voted against the bill giving the governor power to enter complaint before a cir cuit Judge when a sheriff or district attorney would not enforce the law, and have the delinquent official cited before the rourt, and If guilty, sus pended and a special officer appointed who would enforce the law. f lound that he left the speaker's chair and from the floor ridiculed 'those thin skinned Republicans' who would sup port fcuch a law.- "He also voted against the bill to make It unlawful to ship liquor from a wet county Into a dry county," Hut ton continued. "This bill had been drafted In harmony with tho Yvebb Kenyon law. It was emasculated and weakened, and yet. even In that condi tion, McArthur voted against It. "He also voted against the bill which passed the senate providing for the re reference of the home rule ame'idment to the people, and I supposed tuat If he would not vote to submit a state question to the people he would not vote to submit a national question. Says He Opposed Statement One. "1 found, also," Hutton said, "that McArthur had made a speech in favor of the notorious Brooke-Bean bill, which made it a crime lor a coudldate for the legisature to subsciibe to Statement Number One. "He also made a speech before the assembly of 110 saying that If Jona than Bourne were to receive the popu lar vote for senator and thus become the choice of the people of Oregon, he, McArthur, would not vote for nlm. As a result of ti ls position, he was de feated for election to the state senate. er discussed the HobHon amendment ! "In addition to these thins. I re- wlth McArthur prior to the November j ceived his letters In which he said ''teflon tif lUM, Mutton f-ald but after there was no WHy to change his atti tbe -election he had wrlttoti a letter of tude regarding the submission of the cv igrutulutioh In which he made no Ilohson amendment "unless the people of Multnomah county put the questio on the ballot and gave dry majority. "As- result of tiiese tilings' Hut ton concluded, "It appeared to me that there was no way by which be could be induced to trust tbs people to settle a national question of vital moment to them." -' ' McOuire started to to into McAr thur's connection with the selection of the land fraud Juryi in ll)05..bui being met wita more objection, the htarlng was adjourned. ". R. P. HUTTON TELLS OF M'ARTHUR'S PART IN THE LAND FRAUD TRIAL L'ttimttiiitH iTiWHOLESOIvra n. P. Hutton, state superintend nt of the Antl-Haloon league, commenced yesterday afternoon la Judge Gatens' court to tell why it wns. that the leafue. a-fter Investigation by Mr. Hut ton, decided that the official and po litical record of c. N. McArthur was such that he cculd not be supported for congress by the league. His tes timony was so blocked by objection and halted by technicalities interposed by Jay Bowerman and H. 8. McCuteh an, attorneys for McArthur, that when court adjourned at 6 o'clock Hutton's Story was but Just begun. During the morning session Hutton had, been led carefully over the alle gations of the plaintiff's complaint In the $50,000 libel suit filed , by McAr thur; against him, by the skillful ques W cuing of McArthur's attorneys, but he was not allowed to stray, by per mission of either Bowerman or Me Cutchan, away from the questions asked. When court convened in the afternoon Robert McOuire, Hutton's at torney, began at once to question him regarding his controversy with McAr thur concerning the position of McAr thur as to the submission of the Hob son prohibition amendment. Meets Mc Art bur in Washington. Hutton testified that he had never met McArthur until March of the pres ent year when he had been introduced to him in the office of Congressman Kin not t at Washington. At that time nothing was said by either concerning tile Hobson amendment. He had nev- I ' R. P. Hutton resumed the story of his Investigation of McArthur's record when Judge Gatens' court convened this morning. He. said he had read the brief prepared by tbs attorneys for W. N. Jones which they presented" to Attorney General Wlckersham in behalf of Jones' application for a par don from President Taft. He said he had found that Wlickersham had sup ported the application and had set forth to the president that according i to the admission and affidavit or Mc Arthur the latter had been called be fore William J. Burns, the detective who was scanning; the Jury lists for Francis J. Heney, and given a list of prospective Jurymen with the direction to "eliminate all otf the sons of who would not vote for conviction." Burns had said, so Hutton testified, that they were going to "get WHHars pon this time. We are going to stack the cards.'" McArthur had said, so Hutton testified, that it was impos sible, that no self respecting man could enter into such, a scheme; but that nevertheless he had taken the lists and had made the reports, 1;: which he designated various' prominent men of the state by the premier fight ing name, among those so listed being Ralph E. Williams, present Republican national committeeman; that he had advised Burns to throw out the whole Columbia county list because all the men were members of the Mltchell-Fulton-McBrlde push. pardon Granted on Showing. Hutton said that a pardon hid been granted by President Taft on tho show ing made, who said, in passing upon the application, that the record sr.owed the most barefaced and far reaching tampering' with the machlm-ry of juries ever encountered by hlni In all his experience upon the federal bench. Continuing, Hutton eald that he had found that McArthur was under the control of Ferdinand EL- Reed, a no torious politician, and that Reed is now conducting his campaign. fie said that Reed and II: S. MeCutchan had recently called upon a trustee of the! Anti-Saloon league, whom he after ward named on cross-examination as, William F. Woodward, and, solicited him for a contribution of 1100 to the McArthur campaign fund. Could Hot Stomach X !.. Hutton said further that the presi dent of one of the McArthur clubs had said he could not stomach Reed's connection with ;lhe McArthur cam paign, but that his activities could not be stopped; and that a prominent poli tician and supporter of McArthur had said that he saw 4n the conduct of the campaign the hand of "Esau" Mc Cutchan and heard the voice of "Jacob" Reed. On cross examination Ilutton said he had first seen the brief containing Mc Arthur's record in the office of George W. Joseph when he was there with his5! attorney, G. Evert Baker, preparing tne answer to McArthur s complaints Bowerman Asks About West Bowerman asked Hutton If he did not see when exatminlng the brief that Oswald West was also employed by Burns to check the Jury list of Marlon county, and asked if West, as gov ernor, had not been acceptable to the Anti-Saloon league. Hutton said he did not know that West was so employed, and Bowerman asked him why it was, if West had been so employed and was acceptable why McArthur was so unfit. Hutton replied that any governor who had respect ;for his oath of office and attempted to enforce the law was acceptable to the league. Employment of littlefield. Bowerman asked if Hot ton knew that K. V. Littleifleld was the attorney for the North Yakima brewery during all of the last campaign, and Hutton said he did, but that the president of the brewery had contributed to the support of the dry cause and had announced that; he intended to turn his brewery to other business whether the states of Oregon and Washington went wet or dry, Bowerman also asked Hutton if he knew that Littlefield was attorney for the Weyerhaeuser Land company and Hutton jaid he did not. Bowerman also asked if Hutton knew that Littlefield had presided over an assembly in Sherman county which had refused to endorse Bourne, but had endorsed another senatorial candidate, and- Hutton said he did not. This concluded the testimony and the hearing. : 'There's nothing dry or harsh about the cool smoke in that Presado Blend," says Friend No. 66,044 of Cleveland, Ohio.

Thorne, alleged forger, who was re captured at noon yesterday, was taken back to Vancouver last evening. Thorne, whose forgeries are said to mount into the thousands of dollars, escaped from the Vancouver Jail, where he was being held for trial, last week by cutting the cell bars with a" manicure file. Coming to Portland he went into hiding in the rooming houses, was trapped in the Euclid, fell 30 feet while descending from a win dow by a rope, and was captured by a ruse 18 hours later. When Sheriff Biesecker and Chief of Police Barbeau arrived in an auto mobile to return the prisoner to Van couver yesterday afternoon. Thorne was suffering so badly that he could not move. He will probably bo taken to a hospital in Vancouver. Thorne'B arrest in Portland Decem ber 31 was the cause of the suicide of James DeFord, president of an Okla noma oil company, at tho residence of relatives on Eleventh street. Thorne and PeKord .were interested in the promotion of the company, it was said at the time. Yesterday Thorne bemoaned this fact. . "My partner went that way, and I might as well go too," he said.
