Ible experiences with Stanford White
,d of Her life after she met White
totl,e time she was with Harry Thaw
, Paris in 1503, when the latter
ssked her 'to become his wire. Jer
ome objected to the recital of the
,vents of years before the homicide,
hut lie was not sustained. Evelyn
fforinc from a Dad cold and
toughed fitfully while testifying. Jer
ome interposed constant objections,
j destroying the effectiveness of her
I recital, but the young woman told
; her story today Just exactly as she
I told it a year ago. Her voice broke
; when she told of nil that happened
i when sho went to the first luncheon
with White.
I Thaw broke down completely and
.wept as the pitiful tale was unfold
ed. She told of the effort the story
I had on Thaw and how he said he did
; not care, he wanted to marry her unv-
how.
I Just before luncheon Evelyn rench
. ed the story of Thaw's attempt to
i take his life by drinking laudanum
'at Monte Carlo in 1904. Eearlier In
I that year he threatened to do the
i same thing in New York, and wanted
her to join him. She humored him
and diverted hiB attention. When he
swallowed the poison at Monte Carlo
he was alone.
Jerome commenced the cross-examination
of Evelyn at 3:05.
Washington, Jan. 2 0.
The reported plot to blow up
one or more ships of the At-
lanitc. fleet at Hlo Janeiro is
regarded at the White House
as a repttition of one of the
many schemes being present-
ed to tile secret service by
persons who claim to possess
information which they nro
willing to part with for a eon-
sideraiion. No credence is giv-
en here of the existence of an
actual plot.
It is understood tills infor-
malion originated at l'nris,
from which point it was com-
municated to the secret ser-
vice bureau and through that
medium to Admiral lOvans
and t In; authorities of the
South American countries.

When I spoke before your last con
vention, held at Sacramento, 1 re
ferred to our monthly Income In Co
lusa. You lanjihed at me for snyhiK
that our Income thero was $."00
"per" month, not $500 "a" month,
per month meaning that "por"ltaps
you get It and perhaps you don't. It
Is a matter of pride and pleasure to
tell you that In Eugene, where I am
now located, the peoplo subscribed
$1000 "a" month, with no perhaps
about It. Think of a place of be
tween eight and ten thousand peo
ple subscribing $12,000 for publicity
work. 1 read In Mertz' mnftazlue
about Kansas City raising $", 000
and that was a heap! Why, at the
rate a: which Kugene put up. a city
like Chicago would have to iale a
three million dollar fund. Pretty
good evidence of Eugene's spirit,
don't Ton think?
I am glad to be with 'you agnln.
It is a good thing for a publicity
man to meet with and rub against
his peers, who will take some ot the
conceit out of him. Who is thero
among us who does not think that
his own particular way of advertising
Is the best? He naturally thinks so,
or else ho would adopt the other fel
low's. Hut through meetings of this
kind each one gets "unconsciously

the stranger replied: "Y-y-yes sir,

From. J. V. O'l.eary, of McKenzio
Itrldge, who was In Eugene yester
day. It Is learned that a Southern Pa
cific, civil engineer and two assist
ants are now building cabins along
the McKenzle river above Foley
Springs to house a crew of men who
will in tho sprint; begin tho work ot
building a canal at one ot the sites
filed upon by lepresentatives of tho
S. P. Company soce time ago for an
electric power plant. Mr. O'Lonry
was hero for the purpose of securing'
pack horses for tho party. Where tho
canal Is to be built is quite a distance
from the road and It Is necessary to
pack provisions, tools and other
things necessary to carry on tho work
over trails with horses. It will re
quire a great deal of work to build
the canal at llio site chosen and It
may not be completed for several
years, then again the company might
put a large force to work and com
plete It In a year or so.
The tinned has at different times
spoken of surveyors in the employ of
the S. P. Company working on tha
upper McKenzle where tho Spencer
filings on water power sites havo
been made, and has predicted that
the work of developing the power
would begin In tho near future. The
announcement thnt work Is to com
mence on tho first canal In tho spring
is a verification of tho prediction.
