is TAKEN TO SALEM
WILLIAM IL. BECK WITH IN
GIVEN TWO YEARS.
Claimed That Drink Caused His
Ruin and Plead for the
Courts Mercy.

William II. Beckwith, the defaulting
cashier Of the North Pacific Brewing
company. was taken to Salem last night
10 serve two-year term In the peni-
tentiary. That Beckwith's sentence
was not greater was due TO the late
Emil Schimpff. who asked his attorney,
A. NJ. Smith. TO ask the mercy Of the
court Beckwith Ia quoted by a friend
vino visited him at the county .iail the
day following the suicide OF Mr..
Sehimpff as saying that the late man
ager hlugelf was short In his accounts.
and Mr.. Schmpffs action vas IN mark
ed contrast with that OF the guilty man.
The statement that Manager Schimpff
was short IL so absurd az to require no
denial,
When Beckwlth was arraigned for
trial yesterday he entered plea Of
guilty. He made a long address to
the court In which he intimated that
the late manager was as much n
blame as himself for the perdicamen.
Of the prisoner. He admitted that he
was also to blame. but attributed his
fall to drink--a habit which he said ne
formed during his service at the brew
cry. However, Beckwith's record
with Portland firm was not one whit
better than that which he made for
himself In this city. His address to
the court yesterday occupied almost an
hours time. District Attorney Allen
also asked the mercy OF the court in
passing sentence, but Attorney Smiths
statement perhaps had more TO do with
the leniency shown than anything else.
Mr. Smith told OF Mr.. Schimpff's wish
es In the matter and OF his unsuccess-
full attempt to have the case settled.
Judge Mcbride sentenced Beckwith to
two years imprisonment. and he was
taken to Salem last night.
Frank Halstead, the Fort Stevens
soldier who had been indicted on the
serious charge Of criminal assault, his
intended victim being little girl. was
allowed to plead to simple assault
He was given sentence of six months
imprisonment in the county Jail. Dis
trict Attorney Allen stated to the court
that the evidence presented to r.
would not be sufficient to convict the
man on the original charge against
him, and he thought that the prisoner
should be permitted to plead guilty to
the modified charge.

That Mr.. Geer has received the sup

CATION Is not surprising to Astorians,
who regard the situation as unchanged.
The action OF the Multnomah tielega-
tion Is nothing more or less than the
preliminary step In the launching of
Harry scott's senatorial boom. Mr..
Scott has frequently denied that he
would be q candidate, but his political
manager has been active in his behalf
ever since the session commenced. BY
solldifylng the Geer followers and the
Mnltnomah delegates, Mr.. Scott hopes
to swing the bunch into his line at the
last minute and to bring over enourh
more votes to elect him. However, the
Fulton ranks are stlll unbroken, with
the single exception Of Paulsen Of Clac-
kamas, who votes now for Geer. 1t
has NIL along been expected that the
Scott and Geer people would get to-
gether, The indications now are that
MIR. Fulton win be elected II there is an
election. He is still aontident Of ultl-
mate success. That Mr.. Scott cannot
he elected Is the opinion of all we'll
posted men. The people of Oregon
would not stand for his election, they
say on account of his hostility to ev-
erything that would benefit outside
counties of the state.

 In the city the stables are generally of brick. only the more important struc-
 lures in the country being of brick, the
 majority being of wood. Brick or stone is generally damp in this country as showEr by the plaster and frame build

Brick floors once more tabooed as unsanitary, likely to let 8 horse sip. liable to sweat" to chip and cut a horse, etc., but most of these defects have disap- peared. The new yitrifed brick does not chip or fray; it insures perfect drainage. does not hlod moisture and consequently does not sweat, and being roughed and remaining so it better foot ing than anything else but ground. In many places properly arranged slats, capable of proper care, cleansing, sun- baths, etc., are satisfactory; in others, beds Of gravel, topped with eighteen inches of earth, which can thus be con- stantly changed, are in use, but as usual dependent on the grade of "helo'' en- ployed.
