Senator Makes Splendid Impression at
Stockton, Where He Addresses
Thousands

STOCKTON, Oct. 4.-The special
train bearing Senator Fairbanks and
party reached here at o'clock Ten
minutes later the Vice Presidential
nominee was speaking to an audience
of several thousand people gathered
en- the courthouse lawn. He was
enthusiastically received and his
genial mannerisms and straight talk
made favorable impression. In a few
sentences the Senator was introduced
by the county chairman. When the
cheering had subsided he said:
I am surprised at-the magnitude of this
demonstration. / am much gratified as I
am surprised. 1t is evidence OF the factSthat
tions engaging the American people. 1t is evil
dence that you are pretty well satisfied with
the Republican policies and that you have
faith in the administration of Theodore Roose-
welt. I have long heard OF Stockton as place
of commercial activity. l am gratihed to be
here in the home district OF of the most
splendid Republicans in the nation-Congress-
]. c. Needham. No district in the United
States is represented by a man more thorough
ly devoted to the interests OF his constituents.
Mr.. Needham is a typical Republican; he is a
man who does things. That is characteristic
Of the Republican party. He is who
accomplishes what he sets out to do. No
be in public affairs, he cannot you as
well II he has not the ability. My fellow citi-
zens honor yourselves by more giving to
Mr. Needham the commission to serve you.
Senator Charles Fulton of Oregon
was then introduced and made a five
minute address. In the course of his
remarks a member of the audience
shouted: How about the bullpen ?"
The Senator came back with: You
Democrats can strike out the bullpen
and substitute the souphouse.' The
sally caused ripple of laughter.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla. Oct A.
Seven are still missing Of a party Of
eight men who went down with the
wagon bridge between Lexington and
Purcell last night at o'clock after
battling with the swift rush of wa
ters for many hours in a vain attempt
10 save the structure. 1t was the only
connection between the two towns.
Judge Hooker, who lives at Byers,
near Lexington, and who was one of
the party has been heard from, but he
can tell nothing Of the other men. The
names of five others of the party are
known. They are; Woliver,
manager Of the oil mill at Purcell;
Cliff Cooley, a boy. of Purcell; -
Williams Of Purcell, - Carnella Of
Lexington, VIII T. Tyler, a boy, of
Lexington.

portions Of Oklahoma and the south
eastern part Of the Indian Territory in
the flooded districts are down, infor-
nation is hard TO get, but that obtain
able Is 10 the effect that the waters
are receding. Another rise was re-
ported tonight from Taloga, but it is
thought II the water goes down at the
present rate not much damage will be
caused by a second rise.
The Santa Fe depot at Purcell had
four feet Of water in it this morning.
Since last night the Enid and Ana
darko bridge in CaddO County, the Sa-
pulpa-Denison division bridge of the
Frisco at Francis, I. T.. and the Choc-
taw bridge at Calvin, 1. T., have gone
down.
Santa Fe trains coming into this
city from the north go as far as
Noble and then return. Trains east
bound on the Choctaw canont go far
ther than Holdenville. Westbound
trains on the same road turn back at
Gcary. No mails have been received
from the south and southwest for
many hours. and il is not known when
trains can come through from these
sections. The Rock Island has a large
number Of men at work repairing its
tracks and preparing for the building
Of new bridges.
The extent OF the damage done in
the Territory cannot now be estimated,
bur is colossal, and it will be many
DAYS before trains can run on any,

tain of the foreign witnesses are ex-
pected to testify to, the affidavit de-
clares that Miss Warren. at her exam
ination, said that Miss Dolbeer's death
was accidental, but that Gustave
SchOler, Coroner of New York, would
say that Miss Warren had told him
that Miss Dolbeer "had consulted a.
doctor in Paris. who said that she was
suffering from neurasthenia'' and
would be apt to do something rash
for which she should not be held re-
sponsible.'
1t was declared that William Pop
endick and Miss Pfugel of the
Deutschland would testify that on the
trip across the Atlantic Miss DoIbeer
was depressed and melancholy.

he asserted, however, that his sister,
Mrs. Roche, now dead. had told him
about the child and that Edward Don
nelly had told him that he had advised
John DOlbeer to send his daughter to
sanitarium
ANOTHER WILL MENTIONED.
Schander had never heard that Miss
Dolbeer had made a will before the
one admitted to probate until he heard
William Mugan so testify at the taking
of deposition. The will was sealed
and put in a safe and Mugan did not
know what had become of it. Schander
admitted that he had no information
that the will was different from the
second one except that he was told so
by his attorneys and the statement was
included in the affidavit.
1t took an hours time to read the
affidavit to the court. In the purpose
to show that the contestants attorneys
had used diligence in forwarding their
case and prosecuted their investiga-
tions unremittingly the recital COM
menced with the fact of Miss Dolbeer's
death on July 9 and followed each pro-
ceeding up to- the present time.
1t was set forth that Schander, at the
beginning Of the case, did not know the
circumstances surrounding the execu-
tion of the will or the life of Miss Dol
beer for two years prior to her death.
Miss Warren's deposition was neces-
sary to enlighten him on certain mat
ters and some Of the names and cir
cumstances she mentioned had not
been known of by him before. Other
information, relating to what evidence
certain persons might give, was re-
ceived subsequently from agents en-
ployed in New York, London, Paris and
San Francisco and upon the receipt of
such information due haste was used
In applying for orders to take deposit
tions.
The dispositions in New York are to
be taken on October 13 and it Is nee
essary, says the affidavit, for Hiram
Johnson to go there But the deposit
tions of Popendfck and Miss Phugel,
employees on the Deutschland, cannot
be taken until the 21st of this month
because the ship will not be in New
York harbor until that date.

Uncle of Bertha DOlbeer Is
Not Ready for Hearing
of Contest Against Will

Another preliminary skirmish, fought
with an earnestness which foretells the
bitterness of the real struggle to come
in the Dolbeer will contest. was begun
in Judge Coffeys court yesterday
morning and will be resumed to-day.
On the decision of the Judge will de-
pend whether the trial of the contest
shall go on at once or De postponed for
two or three months.
The trial was set for yesterday, but,
on behalf of the contestant, Attorney
Hiram w. Johnson made a motion for
a continuance. Attorney E. S. Pills
bury, representing Administrator Will
liam G. Mugan, and f1anked by Attor-
neys Garret McEnerney and w. F.
Williamson, representing Eta Marion
Warren and Administrator George D.
Gray, was ready for trial and demand
ed that Mr.. Johnson should make a
showing in support of his motion.
Johnson thereupon read a twenty
five page affidavit, signed by Schander,
and for the first time it was made pub
lie that the contestant expects to gain
some sort of support from witnesses in
New York, Paris and elsewhere, whose
dispositions have been ordered taken by
the court. The uncle of unfortunate
Bertha Dolbeer in his affidavit declares
that he will show that she took her
own life and had long been mentally
deranged. On the stand, under exami-
nation bv Mr.. PillsburY, he declared
that the girl had been "Queer" from
babyhood, yet he had not spoken to her
since she was three years of age. 'The

LOCAL COMPLICATION.

The United Independent Republican
Club of the Thirty-ninth Assembly
District, John r. Aitken president, will
meet tonight at Richmond Hall to
take final action upon the following
resolution:
Resolved, That it is for the best in
terests Of the Republican party that
this club support an independent Re-
publican candidate for the Assembly
In this district"
The regular Republican nominee in
the Thirty-ninth District is T. E. At
kinson, secretary Of the Republican
County Committee. There is an active
element of good citizenship in the In
dependent Republican Club of the
Thirty-ninth and nominee of inde-
pendent proclivities would doubtless
receive considerable support. It is the
impression, however in political cir
cles that another Republican nomina-
tion would result in the election of the
Democratic candidate.

sCHANDER EXAMINED.

Schander had free and easy way Of
responding to Mr. PillsburyS questions
and declared that he had no personal
knowledge of the facts alleged in his
affidavit, but that they had been re-
ported to him by his attorneys. He
had not personally made any investi-
cations in the case, but had trusted
everything to the Messrs. Johnson. He
admitted that the purpose of getting
the deposition of Miss Warren was to
find a basis for his case and that the
names mentioned by her in her exami-
nation were of the persons whose depo-
sitions were to be taken, though he did
not know what the persons would tes-
tify to- IF they don't know anything
they can't tell anything" was his epi-
grammatical way of putting it. When
asked if he thought he was entitled to
a continuance, he replied that he saw
no reason for ''railroading the thing
through"
Up to the time of retaining Johnson
e. Johnson and starting the investiga-
tion. Schander had gathered all of his
information about the death of Miss
Dolbeer and the contents of the will
from the newspapers. He had, he said,
received a postal from a man named
Schnitt, of whom he had never before
heard, telling him that he could get
some information from the New York
Coroner. This postal came early In
August.
Mr.. Pillsbury questioned him about
his acquaintance with his niece. He
said that he had known her from the
time she was born until she was three
years old. Then he went away and
