Hood River. Or., May S. Hood River Tel
le; atrawberry grower are Jiibllant today on
account of the fact that there la Intermit'
tent sunshine to encourage tbe ripening of the
berries. The fste of 100 carloads of straw
berries Is hanging in the balance with the
berry growers of ihe valley. The continuous
tains Will soften the fruit before it ripens!
u colors and result in a very heavy loss
vithln the next few days. The tonnage of tbe
lower valley is now at stage where a wrek
or sunshine will tnrn off 2a carlo. da of ber
ries At present tbe fruit la in prime condi
tion fur ripening. The berries re ery large
and being still green, am very firm.
Tbe Mhnal meeting of the Columbia river
aalmon canner was achcduled for the after
noon, and local packera went In a body.
Aa previously forecast in these reports there
was every likelihood of the prices opening at
substantially tbe same figures aa a year ago.

While one of the leading packera was re
ported aa favoring a small deellue In the
price from a frear ago because of the ckfty
over, pra tically all the other packers favored
last year'a values: In fact have been billing
out at former prices.
Since announcement waa made In these
columns last Saturday of tbe shipment of the
first two carloads of the 1916 pack from the
Columbia river by tbe Pillar Rock Parking
company, there has been practically nothing of
the new pack aent forward, because of the
very acant pack.
Because of tbe excellent standing of the
inarket end the absence of supplies at this
time. It is generally believed that tbe price
of shad Will open higher. Laat season pound
talis opened here at C5c a doin, but at leaat
10c advance ia anticipated, and In some quar
ters even a further rise is forecast over 1915
figures.
Announcement was made during the day by
tbe Pillar Rock Packing company that it
bed erders already on band for about all the
shad It expects to pack this season. This
alone Indicates great strength In tbe trade.

Because of the non-irrival of erpected baga
in California from Calcutta, -that stste t now
drawing upon Oregon for Immediate eupulles
rnd some shipments have been made In that
dliectidn. While it a stated tht California
taa plenty of baga ordered, the ahlptnents
have been delayed. Aa tbe barley harvest
haa atarted In the Imperial valley, biiga are
uigently needed and a hurry np call waa sent
to Portland for requirements.
Up to this time there baa been considerable
weakness In the grain bag market and salea
were made in round lots as low ss 12c, hut
now an advance of le la generally being asked
at 13c.
Because of the absence of tonnage from the
north Pacific coast there is practically noth
ing doing In the wheat trade. Practically all
Cxoort Interests hv tiiij,.wn .v..
Let. If ehiptnenta are made at all they m.irt j B' u- pf
great delays In transit snd the added expense
or making these shipments, has made It Im
possible for exporters here to do business at a
profit.
Millers sre prseflcally the only buyers of
Wheat in the northwest at this time, no re
Bpoi.se being shown from the east at suitable
irices. In the meantime there la more gen

Trainman Is Injured.
3. Asher, a Northern Pacific train
man from Kelso, Wash was taken
to the Good Samaritan hospital thit
morning suffering from a crushed
hand. The member was Injured when
caught In an engine dfaw bar. AshOf norton waite said
ia ei jmrntw whs,
he has declared, made him do wrong,
Waite said he had not mentioned this
mysterious power in Bellevue, but that
he had talked of it elsewhere. ,
Story Anuses listeners. '
"Yesterday you confessed to being a
liar and a thief. What assurance have
we that you are telling the truth now?"
demanded the district attorney.
A storm of defense objections Imme
diately arose. They were sustained.
The story calmly recited by Waite
on the wltness-staftd amazed criminolo
gists. He told In detail how he gave
John H. Peck, his father-in-law, germs
of spinal meningitis, pneumonia diph
theria, typhoid and Influenza, when he
came to New York for a visit; how he
also gavs the sged man s throat spray
containing pneumonia germs, and how
he finally made him helpless with
chloroform and suffocated him with a
pillow, for money.
Tried to Kill Wife's Aunt.
He also narrated how he killed Mrs.
John H. Peck by giving her bacteria
and veronal. He confessed to an at
tempt to kill Miss Katherlno Peck
his wife's aunt, by giving her tinned
fish containing numerous deadly
germs, and by putting ground glass
into her marmalade.
All this was done, he ndmitted, for
the purpose of eliminating his wife's
relatives and getting all the money in
the family. In this connection, the
witness frankly confessed that h
married for gold and not for love.
After having made these startling
statements, Waite shrunk and- blushed
when it became necessary to utter a
vile word. Ills manner throughout
was boyish and Indifferent.
Ke Wanted Their Money.
"I wanted them to die because I
wanted their money," was the burden
of his story. The confessed slayer
smiled with pleasure when he sudden
ly remembered some forgotten episode
Of his poisoning campaign and has
tened to get It into the official record.
At times his face was serious, again
he smiled with frank pleasure at some
feat which he evidently considered
worth boasting of.
When the examination of Walte'wa
resumed at the forenoon session of
court, he admitted that he had planned
to murder his wife as well as her
parents.
Stakes Bo Defense.
Waite, asked if he expected to get
$2,000,000 from the Peck estate, replied
that he did not hope for so muchv He
denies having intended to do away ith
Mrs. Hortott.
"Do you deny guilt?" demanded the
prosecutor.
"I have never denied It," snapped
Watts.
"What Is your defense?"
"I am making no defense."
"Did you give John It. Peck arsenic
with the Intention of killing him?"
"I did' replied Waite, loudly,
Kifsw ssarder Was wrong.
"You knew it was wrong to do mur
der?" "fes. 1 think 1 did know that"

"Dove told the entire trufh when sbe
was on the stand."
Justice Sheaa n ruled out poetry writ
ten br Waite while confined at Belle
vue. which the defense attempted to
enter In evidence.
Miss Catherine reck was tne nest
witness. She ate some of Waits s
germs. MUs Peck said Waits fed her
ground glass in marmalade, lUt ilia
thought it was sand and threw out tho
deadly mixture befors getting enough
of It to do harm. ,'
Tells of Boyhoof. V.-
Dr. Waite took the witness stand St
4:10 p. m. yesterday. Watte appeared
haggard and careworn, in his early
teMlmohy he related the story of his
school days and said he worked On a
farm in his boyhood and that his rela
tives claimed he failed to do his shsfs
of the labor. Ills recollection Of hav
ing taken pleasure in drowning a kit
ten, he testified, was hazy. He safd
he remembered cheating at school ek
amtnatlons. In grammar school, Digit
school snd college.
Waite told of various sets of steal
Ing. It was evident the defense was
seeking to show Waite had a erase for
money even when a boy. The defense
claim 1$ that this craze was rspdfls
(hie for lilm poisoning Peck to get
his minions. -Stole
From Mrs. Peek.
Waite admitted that he had courted
and .married Clara Peck for her fa
thers money. He said that While
courting Clara he had stolen $10 from
Mrs Peck's pocketbook. . r;
Dark hints concerning the "Man
from Egypt" were thrown oat by
Wane's attorneys when the court bit
tie was resumed. It was apparent the
defense would aeek to prove that thU
sinister shadow, rfjgraen of Wsits's
disordered intellect, was the real
slayer. , -
An effort will be made to show that
Waite was helpless !n the power Of
this intangible power which, he claim,
drove htm to kill Mr. snd Mrs, John
H. Peck by the use of deadly poisons
and disease germs. ;
