THE OREGON: SUNDAY. JOURNAL' PORTLAND,: SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 1920. STATE IS HEARING END OF ITS CASE it AGAIN! LAUNDY Testimony to Be Resumed Mon day; Defense Expected to Try to impeach One State Witness. With its victory Saturday morning when Circuit Judge H. H. Belt ruled that evidence to show the nature of the I. W. W. and its teachings might be brought in from point outside the state, the prosecution has prac tically rested its case against Joseph Laundy, Portland radical labor leader, who is being tried on charges of violating the state criminal syn dicalism act. One or two more witnesses, are to be heard Monday morning, when the Bec ond week of the trial begms, before the state rests, according to District Attorney Walter H. Evans. The de fense that will be made by Attorney George V. Vanderveer for Ills client is looked forward to with keen interest. If he follows the plan used in other syndicalist trials over the Northwest, one of the wltnesHes, at leant, will be n expert on the I. W. W. organiza tion. QUALIFIES A8 K XPERT In several of these trials, Vanderveer himself has been the expert, and ills knowledge of the subject, aa was, ably demonstrated In the syndicalist trials at Montesn.no last month. Is profound. At that time Vanderveer said that" he had read practically every publication of the I. W. ' W. since early ih 1917 until the end of 1919. He haf helped draft the resolutions of. 1917 at Chi cago, and has served In an advisory capacity with the general executive committee. The defense Is also expected to In troduce evidence Intended to impeach one of the state's star witnesses, A. 15. Allen, ex-member of the L W. W. Allen's testimony In regard to sale nd- distribution of revolutionary pub lications given here last week was dif ferent In many details, from his testi mony as to the same activity gjven at xne moniesano trial, tt was said Sat urday that the defense will probably bring from Montesano the court re porter who at through the trial there. And have him read the Allen testimony as given there. BEJfATI07S ARE LACKING 1 Unlike the communist party trial which terminated week before last with conviction of three men, the Laundy case, with few exceptions, has been devoid of sensational detail. Witness after witness was called to identify "literature" of the I, W. W seized In raids made In -various cities. Extracts from these publications will be read by both sides when all the testimony . has been delivered. This Will take probably two days. The trial is based on just two points The first is whether or not Iaundy was a member of the L W. W. In Multnomah county since the passage of the syndicalism act; The second point la in regard to the nature of the L W. W.; whether it U a lawful .or ganization or otherwise. By the publications,'.' the state hopes to show that the organization i un lawful ; and testimony, has been intro duced showing that , Laundy's . name was on the L , w. w. memnensmp books in Portland, and that he carried a card on the night of November XI when arrested in the raid by the police at 128 Second street. " ' , r. DIVORCE IS COMPROMISED WHEN WOMAN IN CASE FAINTS "It's about time to compromise this case," said Circuit Judge George Tai well to the attorneys In a divorce case before him Friday afternoon, when Mrs. Fannie Oeer. in telling of the death of her 4-year-old child, fainted on the wit ness stand. Mrs. Geer was unconscious for 10 minutes, and a physician who was testi fying in another court was summoned to attend her. William Allen Geer, her husband, sued for divorce, alleging de sertion, but Mrs. Geer came all the "way from Grand Rapids, Mich., to contest the suit in which she filed a cross complaint of desertion. Her collapse ended the case. As Judge Tazwell suggested, a compromise was effected, whereby Mrs. ' Geer's expenses in connection with the trial and the trip from Michigan are to be paid and she Is to receive five shares of' common stock in Swift & Co. SLAUGHTER HOUSE OWNER IS FINED SUM OF $ 100 Offal and refuse from slaughtered animals draped an the barb wire fence and scattered about the ground of his ranch cost Robert Lowe, manager of a Stark street restaurant. $100 fine before EMstrlct Judge . Martin W. Hawkins today. , Lowe was charged with maintaining an unclean slaughter house. Eh-. D. N. Roberg, state health officer ; John I). Mlckle, state dairy and food , commis sioner and Dr. H. M. Chase, city meat Inspector, were witnesses against him. They testified as to conditions, declaring that the head of a goat was found in the waters of Johnson Creek, near Lowe's barn. The ranch Is in the Lents section. YANK FLIER 10 VIED i rmnnM cumi L U1UU1 onuii GIRL Commander of Great Trans-Atlantic Dirigible to Bring Bride On His Initial Trip. . By Ftorbes W. Fair bairn London, March 27. The maiden trip of . the giant trans-Atlantic diri gible R-3 8, which is scheduled to start for America some time in May, 1921, will also be the occasion for the first trans-Atlantic aerial honey moon. Commander Coll, the American avi ator in charge of the flight, has become engaged to May Tresmand, -the London comedy star, after a two months ro mance. The engagement was announced todajr by Miss Tresmand. Commander Coil when asked about it said : "Why, I cannot say anything except that I am hoping it's true." Miss Tresmand. who is ill, made the announcement through a friend to whom she said: "I'm the happiest girl in the world. He's my ideal man and I want to ac company him on the first lap ef the R-38 to New York." 1 : In" connection with the Westover Ter race line. During the 12 months ending July. SI, 1919, the , company received In revenue from operation of the above mentioned lines a total at 1S948. The operating expenses -amounted to $25,016. The car riders,, of Portland have made up the balance.. ' ' Taking cognisance of the situation, the public commission in its recent order referred to the condition in this vein: "It is quite apparent that the majority of these lines could not be put on a paying basis - even at a very materially increased fare, and if the owners or interests responsible for their operation, are not sufficiently concerned to carry out their part of the operating agree ments and bear their full share of the burden, certainly this commission can not consistently require the company to continue to carry the entire load at the expense of the remaining car riders." IN BIT TO BOOM SUBURBS ARE COSTLY (Continued From P. On. ) HUSBAND ALLEGED DOMESTIC TROUBLE REMINDER OF JIGGS Harry Ft. Mann, whose suit for di vorce from Arlle Mann is on file in the circuit court, recites a list of woes on a par with those of "Jiggs." Mann charges that his wife threw household effects af him and on one occasion hurled a $60 vase at his head. At another time, it is alleged, the wife seized from the stove a frying pan In which meat wan cooking and struck the plaintiff wltlwthe utensil. The Manns were married in Portland In 1912. Registration Has Gaih Saturday's figures for registration of voters showed a gain of just 282 over those for the preceding day, according to the report by County Clerk Beverldge. The total Republicans registered was 57,643. The total Democratic registra tion was 19,336, and the total of all others was 4279. The grand total regis tration Saturday was 81,258, as com pared with 80,976 the day previous. Reg istration closes April 20. 8. man & H. Green Stamps for cash. Kuel Co.. Main 353. Hol- 560-21. Adv. the railway company asked to operate cars Into the district. LEFT TO "HOLD SACK" The utility entered into a contract with the realty company providing that cars would be sent Into the district so long as no expense accrued to the rail way. The realty corporation was to take the earnings of the Hne and pay the bills. Property was sold and resi dences erected. But the realty corpora tion, after partly settling the district, went by the board. Cars are still oper-. ated to Errol Heights, but the popula tion is too sparse to pay the cost of operating the cars and car riders in other parts of the city are forced to make up the deficit. The Arlington and King's Heights lines are other examples of similar transactions and conditions. The Heights Trust company, a holding company for several realty organizations, was formed to boom property sales in the two dis tricts. Tracks were laid and an agree ment entered into with the railway com pany by which cars would be operated over the lines, the trust company to guarantee part of the operating ex penses. People settled in the districts, the land company defaulted and the cars are still operated at a loss. The car riders of the entire city make up the dif ference. WESTOVER ANOTHER CASE Practically the same agreement existed Ancient Diary Used To Reopen Suit of Christian Scientists Boston. March 27. (I. N. S.) Upon an ancient diary, a little book kept by the late William B. Johnson, first clerk of the Christian Science church, directors of the church today hoped to reopen the case against the trustees. The diary will also be used, it is stated, by Mrs. John L. Longyear, wife of the Michigan copper magnate, in her petition for intervention in the litigation between the directors and trustees. William L. Jqhnson, son of the late clerk, discovered the little black book among his father's possessions. It shows that the original rules of the church gave specific powers to the directors antedating the deeC of trust and the church manual. Judge Dodge as master In the litigation based his finding on the deed of trust. Mrs. Longyear, who seeks to intervene Is one of the wealthiest Christian Sci entists in the country- Her magnificent home was brought here stone by stone from Michigan.
