DEMANDED FOR TRIAL
NEW STORY OF THE AFFAIR TOLD
IN NEW YORK. !,
District Attorney Directs Arrest Of
Prisoner After Decision by Judge
Meyers Statement


the supreme court this afternoon dismissed
the writ of habeas corpus in the case Of
Mrs. Man" Patterson. connected with the
shooting of Caesar Young, and remanded
the prisoner.
Although grand jury subpoenas had been
issued for J. Morgan Smith and other wit
nesses, District Attorney Jerome said today
that the case of Mrs. Nan Patterson would
not be taken up by the grand jury at this
time. his decision was announced after
conference between Mr.. Jerome and the
police.
To Be Arrested Immediately.
Should Mrs Patterson be released by
Justice Clarke on habeas corpus proceed
ings she will be rearrested Immediately.
The district attorney directed a police cap
tain to be present In the supreme court for
this purpose. and to take the prisoner be-
fore the nearest magistrate for arraign-
ment.
A new story in the case was told today
by a man who said he was Algernon G.
Meyer of 253 East I'd street, Jacksonville.
Fla. According to Meyer, who says he
witnessed the scene. the shooting or Young
appeared to be accidental. Mrs. Patterson
was struggling with Young, who had the
revolver in his right hand, and his right
arm was around her neck. To Meyer 1t ap-
peared as though Mrs. Patterson was try
ing to push Young away from her, or per-
haps to take the revolver away from him.
According to the policeman who first
reached the cab Mrs. Patterson sat at the
left of Young.
According to the story told by Meyer, he
was walking up West Broadway Saturday
morning when his attention was attracted
to a hanson cab coming down the street.
AS he looked the occupants man and
woman--began to scuffle las the cab ap-
preached me-" continued Meyer, Il saw
that the man had a gun in his right hano:
His right arm was around her neck, ana
head At first I thought he was trying to
put the pistol to her head. Right In front
of me the tall man with the black mus
tache was walking. and saw him stop ana
look at the scene of the cab.
II could see the CLINT of the pistol par.
rel, and all at once 1 heard the report ana
saw little smoke float up. The driver
did not stop his cab. The hand with the
gun in 1t dropped down the girls back
and she lodged away. Then the man IN
the cab fell over This was just before
the cab passed me, and just as the man
ahead Of me had run out and jumped up
on the step.
II turned and watched the cab go down
the street. Then l saw it stop and saw
crowd begin to gather. l did not want TO
get mixed up in the case and kept away
from the crowd. I had reason for not
wanting to be mixed up in the affair. but
when I bought the newspapers Saturday
afternoon and saw that the case looked
bad for the woman 1 determined to speak
If 1t became necessary.

THE INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE

An eninently successful educator
a man thoroughly acquainted with
all plans of school work, capable of
instructing teachers and assisting
them in the many difficulties to be
met with in their work, man of
high moral and christian character.
Such is Prof. S. I. Pratt indepen-
date candidate for school superin-
tendent.
Prof. Pratt was born in the state
of Michigan in 1862 and after ac-
quiring a liberal education, began
teaching twenty-four years ago. In
1888 he came to Oregon and acted
as principal of the public school at
Newport for three years. He went
to Multnomah county in 1891 where
he taught for two years.
For seven years beginning with
1898, Prof. Pratt was the efficient
principal of the Corvallis public
school, during which time Corvallis
stood in the front rank in the pro-
fciency of her public schools. AS
evidence of excellent work, a gold
medal was awarded Corvallis at the
Omaha Exposition. In 1900 Prof
Pratt took charge of the Philomath
public school, and so thoroughly has
he organized the work that Philo-
math is often mentioned as having
one of the best managed schools in
the state. Prof. Pratt stands for
solid work in the school room, and
if elected to the superintendency the
schools of Benton county will enter
upon period of educational ad-
vancement never before ex perienced.

WHY DO THEY FIGHT HIM?

Opponents of Victor Moses are
fighting the proposition that the
use of his $I75 type-writing ma
chine effects saving and is other
wise desirable in keeping the rec
ords in the clerks Office, and they
seek to lessen the important bear
ing Mr.. Moses capacity and fit
ness in this respect has on his can
didacy for clerk. Why not give
this deserving young man credit
for everything he is entitled to?
Are decent young men so plentiful
in this country that merits they
may have shall be assailed and
made light OF. to the end that there
shall be no incentive for the youth
of the country to be capable, true,
earnest and deserving? For the
sake o. encouraging young men
to be worthy, is it not better to
commend rather than condemn
their merits, if merits they have?
Indeed. since Benton county has
SO much cause to regret that there
is hoodlumism in the world, is it
not wise, when decent, discreet
boy like Victor Moses, spends his
good money and endeavors to serve
the people of Benton county with
fidelity and truth, that whatever
he does that is good should not be
criticized, scorned and made light
of In short, is it not time for the
people of Benton county, united in
the cause of decency to stand to-
gether, and resist the coarse effort
to cry down the merits of young
man whom everybody in Benton
county knows has always done the
best he knew how to do, and serv.
ed his fellow citizens with the best
service that his means, his brains
and his application could provide.

HIS LAST SERVICE.
City Meets County's Proposition The
Late James Dunn.

The city of Corvallis meets the
offer of the county court Tor a suit
able recognition of the recent
public service of the late James
Dunn. It will share with
ty the county the expense for
medical attendance and cost OF bur
ia1, and will contribute. an equal
proportion for the purchase OF a
monument, if one is TO be provided.
The city council ordered such act
ion at a meeting Monday night,
and appointed committee to re-
present the city in the premises
The committee is, Punderson Av-
cry and William Crees.
The councils s action in the mat
ter was by unanimous vote. There
was but little discussion of the
matter. When it was proposed,
one member asked what the total
expense would be, and the answer
was, that the medical attendance
and funeral expense footed up
$2I4 so. and that it was proposed
to add a monument which would
cost $1oo, making a total Of $3I4.-
so. The county court was quoted
as having offered to pay one-hali
the total if the city of Corvallis
would pay the balance. The sen
timent was universally. favorable
to the plan, the only question be-
ing one of how the motion should
be worded. AS finally voted on il
ordered that the city meet the Offer
of the county court, and that q
committee be appointed to carry
out the plan,

TWO BANoUErs FOR THIN.
State Grange Elaborate Preparations
for Their Reception. s

Indications now arethat the thirty
first annual session of the Oregon
state grange, to be held in Corvallis,
May 24th to the 27th, will the lar
gest gathering of that character
ever assembled in the State. One
hundred grangers will be represen-
ted by delegates selected in the
usual manner and several oranges
will be represented by visitors so
that in all probability there will be
no less than two hundred present.
Inasmuch as the meeting ssprecedes-
the session of the national grange at
Portland, it is regarded as doubly
important that the patrons of hus-
bandry throughout the state be able
and fully represented in numbers as
well as intelligence, so that all the
varied interests of "the man with a
farm may be properly and fully
protected. E. P. Wolcott, master
of the state grange of Kentucky, has
been invited to sit with the state
master G. B. Leedv in directing the
deliberations of the session, while
past master R. P. Boise, Jacob
VOORHEES, and w. M. Hil1eary will
give special care to all matters that
look toward better legislation, and
treasurer Joe Hirshberg will care
fully supervise the finance of the
association. Owing to the special
importance of the session, the meet
ing will hold one day longer than
usual, beginning at 10 o clock Tues
day and continuing till the follow
ing Friday. The session will be
held in the Agricultural Hail, and
two banquets will be spread. The
first will take place on Tuesday
evening at the reception G iven by
the oranges of Benton county, and
will be enlivened with fine music
addresses of welcome and responses
by Judge R. P. Boise, of Salem,
Mrs. Clara Waldo, of Macleay and
others. The other banquet will be
'Flora's Feast" which will imme-
diately precede installation of officers
on Thursday evening.
The hotels have offered the
special rate of 81 per day, and have
agreed to canvass the town for ex-
ira rooms, should the usual quarters
be overtaxed. So there need be no
concern given to visitors as to suit
able quarters The Southern Paci-
fc and c. & E. have given their
customary one and one-third rate
over their lines, and it is learned
that owing to the central location OF
Corvallis, which is known as the
"heart of the valley many will
come by private conveyance. Com
rnitteesrepresenting Corvallis grange
the Agricultural College and the
City of Corvallis will be at all trains
to meet guests and participate in
their reception.
