started the task of finally marshaling

Onco the trial Is actually started. It
will take three weeks to sift through
the mass of circumstantial . evidence
and the rebuttal. In what order the

Prosecutor Dady has been forced to

the alibi letter, can be explained as
the foolish impulse of youth. Once the
explanation is made the Jury will be
asked to reconcile It with the presump
tion each venireman must make at the
start that the boy is Innocent until
proved guilty. This is the case of the
defense.

It has been hard to get four Jurors

SLOUGH
the statements of senators who imme
diately declared their belief in Hughes'
nomination, was the attitude of his
known opponents. Senator Wadswortb,
for instance, the Washington Root
manager, and one of the New York
leaders busiest in the Empire state In
promoting the Hughes movement, de
clined to comment, intimating the con
test had been merely an advent of lo
cal politics with which he was not
familiar. Others also spoke f local
conditions in the same way.
Kufbes Xionf Oat of Politics.
Senator Lane of Oregon, familiar
with the conditions, discussed the case
interestingly.
"The Oregon electorate is the most
Independent In the world," said Lane
"I honestly believe the general reputa-
tion Hughes bears of being utterly In
dependent made him many votes. That
would not be so In any other state.
"Hughes baa been out of politics eo
long that the evil he did or the mis
take ha made Is Interred with his poli
tical bones, while the spectacular
fights he made still remain in the pub
lic mind. He won In Oregon, too, be
cause his Is a well known name, while
Cummins and Burton are more or less
strangers."
Many political leaders believed the
next week In congress would see a de
termined effort to smoke the Justlc
out. Had Roosevelt entered the Ore
gon race, said Senator Polndexter,1 he
would have had a large proportion of
the strength given Hughes.
"The trouble with Hughes," said
Polndexter, "Is that no one knows
where he stands."

Fred Cooper, -superintendent of city
lines of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company, was kidnaped by
an armed posse of carmen of the Sell-wood-,
division yesterday morning and
forcibly compelled to go on their an
nual basket picnic and have a good
time. ; Fred went, and he did. For
the time being both hia cravat and
aplomtb were disarranged, the recovery
being rapid after the excitement r.f the
crowd of several hundred spectators
had subsided.
'The occasion was 'the annual out
ing off the Sellwood division of car
men and their families. The oper
ating officials of th- company had
been Invited as guests of honor. Coop
er, at the last minute, discovered he
would ' not be able to go, or at least
he thought he did, and while he was
apologizing and explaining to the com
mittee, Just before the special train
pulled out at First and Alder,. 9
o'clock yesterday morning, several of
the carmen grabbed their "boss, blind
folded him, while Lou Wagner snapped
some "bracelets" on his wrists. He
was bundled aboard the train and held
captive until Bull Run Park was
reached, when he was released and
allowed to wander around among the
placid cows, flowers, fish and scenery
wKh which the rssort is almost com
pletely surrounded.
The outing of the Sellwood carmen
marked the formal opening, of Bull
Run park for the 1916 season. The
special train of five cars carried near,
ly SOD pleasureseekers. Including the
P. R.. L. & P. Co. band of 1 pieces,
and a troupe of amateur vaudeville ac
tors and mu si Claris made up of carmen
and some outside talent.
Besides the music, dancing and ath
letic pastimes, the band 'gave an open
air1 concert.. The special returned to
Portland at 7:30 last night.

of Motorman C. U. Taylor, chairman;

The body of Ella May Harris, nor

has been missing since May 5, was
found In a blind slough of the Colum

The body was noticed by Conductor

sure that It was a body, and then no

and after some search saw the body. 1
it was rast in a ciump of willows, 30 ,
feet east of the railroad trestle and '
about. 209 feet north of where the wag- i
on trestle and the street railway tres- j
ue join. ,
The body was In what is practicallv !
a stagnant slough, the water having
indirect outlet through Oregon slougfi
to the south. The body was fate I
downward. 1
Coroner Dammasch made an in-1
vestlgation Immediately afterwards.
He said that the body was doubtless '
that of Miss Harris. ,
The body was clothed In a blu mir
with a blue outer coat, on which were
large square buttons, together with
tan shoes and kid gloves.
The body was recovered after much 1
effort. A raft was floated Into the
slough and a rope tied about It. It ,
was then dragged under the trestle
and lifted 30 feet to where the morgue
wagon awaited. ,
The disappearance of Miss Harris
three weeks ago attracted the widest
attention. She had a Wide circle of

by the new Vancouver friends. Apply
