MILLER CASE IS GIVEN
TO JURY; SELF-DEFENSE
IS ALLEGED BY ACCUSED
Case Said to Have Been Shortest
Murder Trial Ever Held
in County.
The question as to whether or not
Thomaa R. Miller shot and killed Guy
R. Nelson tn self defense, went to the
jury at 11:15 o'clock this morning.
The fact that Miller did kill Nelson
was not disputed by the defense. Their
sole contention was that, as Miller is
a comparatively small man and Nelson
.a large one. that Miller was in fear of
his life and shot in self defense.
The trial was one of the shortest mur
der cases ever handled In Multnomah
county. The jury was selected Wednes
day afternoon, evidence was presented
Thursday and the first of the final
; arguments given, and this morning the
arguments were concluded and the in
structions read to the jury by Judge
' Stapleton.
The basis of the prosecution was on
i the testimony of May Daley, the sole
i eye witness of the tragedy. She testl-
i fied that on the night of November 22
!he and Miller quarreled bitterly be-
I cause Miller refused to let her visit her
sister. Ida Nelson.
The con
thjU N1(K
tentlon of the defense was
Nelson knocked Miller from his
i feet and threatened to kill him. Mrs
Iuley denied the statement of the de
fense that Miller drew his gun after he

that he already had it in his hand and
i killed Nelson an Instant later.

started raising fares.
HOPSON TKSTIFIF.8
G. Hopson. local engineer, testified
that the company could show a t
over operating expenses of $263
surplus
000 in
1922 on a 6 cent fare, based on an In
crease In population and therefore more
car riders, modification of service and
elimination of other costs. He declared
that, although the number of passengers-
carried by the company is increas
Ing annually, the present transporta
tion system is becoming obsolete. He
took exception to statements of W. V.
Woodward Thursday that service in
Portland is poor and finally declared,
under questioning, that a 7 cent fare
would be Just and would place the com
pany on a sound financial basis. Re
lief or a receivership were described as
the alternatives, and Hopson asserted
that although he does not favor a re
ceivership, with Its consequent reorgani
zation and rearrangement of fixed
charges, it might be the ultimate solu
tion. Answering. President Griffith declared
that he is not so sure of the great in
crease in travel that Hopson had re
ferred to, and that the company should
not be forced to take a chance on that
traffic when It la within the province
of the public service commission to
lower fares If the company's books in
dicate that an unreasonable Income is
obtained by the corporation.
"If a receivership is the alternative,"
questioned Griffith, "how would new
capital, which is the crying need of the
company, be attracted?"
"I know It would give the company a
black eye at first," Hopson replied, "but
I believe more money could be obtained
later."
Griffith insisted that a? receivership
meant confiscation.
Hopson refused to answer several
questions on the ground that his study
had been only cursory and along the
general trend of affairs, rather than de
tailed.
Testimony before the commission by
Furnishings
Underwear
And Caps
For Boys
NOUGH
SAYS MGINN
M. U Klmmel, a car rider, that 5 peri
cent of hia income is expended in car
fare, and that in other cases more than
7 per cent is so expended, preceded the
statement Thursday afternoon by L U
Levings, representing the Woodmere
community club, that "raise of fare is
only sop of a temporary nature, and
would result in Increasing the company
In public disfavor."
Levings suggested that the commission
might order the railway company to
cease payment of-bridge tolls and pay
ing costs, and send the matter into the
courts, where, he vouchsafed, the com
mission would be upheld. He also pro
posed that city employes might be made
to pay fare in an effort to relieve the
car rider of some of the burden.
Levfngs declared that the company
apparently needed greater revenue, but
that existing conditions are unfair to
the car rider, and that If additional rev
enue Is to be granted the company, it
should be from other sources than the
car rider who is now forced to pay
practically the entire cost of operation
of a transportation system that benefits
directly or indirectly every individual
in the city.
"You must admit that the situation
is unjust as it is." Levings directed at
Franklin F. Griffith, " and it would be
unheard of for you to come here asking
that the burden be increased. Now is
the time for permanent and just solu
tion." Deputy City Attorney Stanley Myers
asserted that charter amendments are
necessary before bridge tolls and pav
ing costs can be eliminated.
"They could be brought about within
four months, could they not?" Levings
questioned.
WORKING MAN HIT
"Yes, by submitting the matter to
the voters In May," was the reply.
Klmmel pointed out that those who use
the cars are wage earners, and that
75 per cent of the passengers have in
comes of not more than 150 a month.
With two in his family, he insisted, five
per cent of his income goes to the car
company.
"The car rider pays more than his
Just share." he continued. "If addi
tional revenue must be provided for the
streetcar company, do not make it in
the form of Increased fare. Places of
business aro to m large extent . benefi
ciaries of our service and they should be
made to carry their share of the burden.
A car rider should not be forced to pay
more than seven per cent of his income
out in carfare."

Secretary of State
Henry J. Schulderman has finally de
termined that he would rather be sec
retary of state than corporation com

so has made formal announcement of
his candidacy for the Republican nomi
nation for the secretaryship. In doing
bO he Issued a statement which Bays:
"If nominated for secretary Of state
and elected ai the general election. I
shall conduct the office on strictly busi
ness lines, cutting down expenses wher
ever possible and securing economy and
efficiency as I have done in the office
of corporation commissioner.
"The secretary of state is a member
of the board of control, and as such has
many Important duties. Should I be
come a member of that body I shall also
exert my influence to conduct the
state's affairs and institutions also upon
a strictly ' business basis, eliminating
waste and extravagance and spending i
the money raised through taxation to
the very best advantage.
"In submitting my candidacy for the
nomination for secretary of state to the
Republican voters. I wish to point to
my record in reducing expenses in the
office of corporation commissioner, to
my familiarity with important business
matters and to my experience as an ex
ecutive acquired In' the conduct of that I
