Government Brings Forward
Important Witness in the
Oregon Land Fraud Cases

PORTLAND, Dec. 2-The climax in
the land frauds trial, so far as the
Government is concerned, has been
reached and the law has but one more
witness to be placed on the stand and
then the prosecution will close its case
Throughout the prosecutions case the
evidence has been more or less sensa-
tional, dragging, as it has, the names
Of men high in the councils of the Gov
ernment into the public eye in an un-
enviable light and leaving many pc
culiar transactions to be explained by
the defense. To-day's testimony was
exceptionally startling.
A w. Heidicke, an aged woodsman,
broken by his guilt, confessed the story
of his relations with the accused men
and women and told a story that could
not be shaken under cross-examina-
ton by Judge O'Day, chief counsel for
the defense. From Heiaicke's testi-
mony many things are expected to
spring.
The name Of n. Haskell Withe, the
lumberman of La Crosse, Wis, was
connected with the case to-day by the
testimony Of Ira p. Hover, who told Of
having loaned Horace G. Mckinley
s2100 on the George A Howe lands,
which were transferred to Withe.
The testimony of Heidicke told the
story Of the alleged conspiracy prac-
tically from its inception up to the time
the Grand Jury made its investigation
and tonight his story remains uncon-
troverted. The defense will begin to
show its hand at to-morrow's session

Says Good words for Japan.

Bishop NJ. C. Harris of the Ameri-
can Missionary Society gave an inter-
esting lecture last evening in the au-
ditorium of the Y. M. G. A. building
on Japan's effort to overcome the in
roads of Russia in Korea and Man
churia. The speaker related the story
Of Japan's attempt to keep from be-
ing gobbled up by the Russian bear
prior to the breaking out of the war.
He spoke for the Japanese and said
that the American people would learn
that the success of the Mikado's men
would mean a great deal for the Unit
ed States especially the Pacific Coast.
A large part of the audience was
composed of young Japanese students,
who listened with great interest to the
Bishops words and frequently inter-
rupted him with applause. Bishop
Harris said that the great peril in the
Far East was not the yellow peril -
but the white peril" Japan would
eventually win and the threatened in
vasion of Korea and ourtaillng of
trade in Manchuria would no longer
be a menace to the commerce Of this
country.
After the lecture a subscription for
the benefit of the poor Japanese fam
lies whose men folk are fighting
their country's battles was taken Up.

Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 2.-Addi-
son Chester Dewey who was relieved
by the death Of his wife from suit for
divorce, has been making life interest
ing for her sisters. Mrs. III. H. Harkin-
son, one Of the sisters and executrix of
the dead woman's will, had given or
ders to an undertaken in Upland to pre-
pare the body for shipment to San
Francisco, where 1t was to be buried.
Dewey learned Of this and signified his
disapproval to Mrs. Harkinson, who
paid no attention to him. Then Dewey
called on the undertaken and demanded
that the body should be given burial in
the spot of his selection, but the un-
dertaker, too, ignored him.
Baff1ed at Upland. Dewey came to
San Bernardino and tried to find his at
torney to secure an injunction to pre-
vent the removal of the body, but the
attorney was not IN the city and Dewey
would consult no other.
Dewey Is said to have declared when
the divorce summons was served on
him that he also had grounds for di-
vorce and that he was glad his wife
had taken such step. Sensational de-
velopments are expected when the Will
is contested.

This City Monday Night
LEADING MEN TO SPEAK
Movement to Arouse Public
Interest in Arbitration
Treaties Meets Success

The agitation in all parts of the
United States to urge Congress at its
coming session to ratify the proposed
treaties of international arbitration is
finding a fertile field in San Fran
cisco. Leading citizens have allied
themselves in hearty enthusiasm with
the movement. On Monday evening q
mass meeting will be held at the Tenn
pie Emanu-El. Speech making will
arouse popular interest and resolu-
tions will be adopted asking Congress
to work for international peace.
Governor George G. Pardee will pre-
side at the meeting. He will be called
to the chair by Circuit Judge w. w.
Morrow, who is president of the Pa
cific Coast branch of the American
Conference on international Arbitra-
ton.
Some of the best speakers and most
prominent men of the West will argue
for the American Governments par
ticipation in the treaty making going
forward among the nations. Among
those who will deliver addresses are
DIR. David Starr Jordan, DR.. Benja-
min Ide Wheeler, Rabbi Jacob Voor-
sanger, the Rev. Bradford Leavitt,
Franklin K. Lane, Sheldon Kellogg
and United States Circuit Judge Will
liam H. Hunt of Montana.
During Clevelands administration
the effort was made to have the Unit
ed States join In arbitration treaties,
but 1t failed. determined move
ment is now being made throughout
the country to bring about favorable
legislation and meetings similar to
that in San Francisco Monday evening
are to be held this month in all the
large cities. John w. Foster, former
ly Secretary of State, is at the head
of the organization formed to arouse
public opinion.
Treaties with Great Britain, France,
Germany and Mexico are now ready
for submission to the Senate. Others
are in course of preparation. 1t is hoped
and expected that the United States
will take a leading part in the prog
ress Of arbitration by adopting these
compacts. The tenor of them all is
that differences of a judicial order,
or relative to the Interpretation of ex-
listing treaties, which it may not have
been possible to settle by diplomacy,
shall be submitted to the Permanent
Court of Arbitration established by
the convention of July 20, 1899, at
The Hague, on condition. however,
that neither the vital interests nor the
independence or honor of the two
contracting states nor the interests of
any state other than the two con-
tracing states are involved"

In a paper on Some Weak Points in
Long-Distance Electric Transmission"
James c. Bennett stated that promi-
nent characteristic Of the many stop
pages of current is the time of their
occurrence. On referring to records 1t
is to be observed, said Bennett, that
by far the greater number take place
at night. Mechanically this should not
be so, fact which inclines him to the
belief that its principal cause must be
one that renders the occurrence we'll
nigh unavoidable, viz: That men do
not maintain their highest standard Of
ability and reliability at night as dur
ing the daytime.
Bennett said that night is, as all
know, not a natural time for man to
be expected to be fully up to his high
est standard of mental activity.

VIII Argue bx Briefs.

The demurrer Of p. Marsicano to
the complaint of the State of Califor-
MIA for the abatement of ''Marsicano's 8
place" on Dupont street was on the
calendar in Judge Sloss' department
yesterday, but the court was not pre-
pared to hear the arguments. He said
that he would hear them on Monday.
but Attorney Collins suggested that
the Monnier will contest, in which he
is engaged, would then be on trial.
He then went to Judge Graham to
see If the latter case could go over,
but Judge Graham would not consent.
Thereupon Mr.. Collins said he would
submit his Marsicano argument by
brief. This will be answered orally
by Max Kuhl or H. w. Hutton, and
Mr.. Collins will reply in turn by brief.
In this way he can handle the two
cases at once.

sHoRTRIDGE ARGUES.

Attorney Shortridge contended that
the interlocutory decree was not a
divorce, and that until the final decree
is granted the parties are married.
Only two things, he said, could dis
solve the union-death and a final de-
cree. Therefore, if a plaintiff were
granted an interlocutory decree and
should thereafter commit any act in
violation Of the marriage contract the
court could not hold him or her guilt
less, and should decline to grant the
final decree, which is the divorce.
In several of the departments Of
court yesterday orders for alimony and
maintenance were made. In Judge
Troutt's court Maud G. Potter showed
that she had been active in trying to
compel her husband, who is a grip
man on the Hayes-street line, to pay
$50 he owes, but Judge Trout thought
there was not sufficient evidence of
service of the order to show cause and
continued the hearing.
Judge Sloss ordered A. K Henry to
pay Isabella M. Henry 81 so a week
until the trial CT her divorce suit on
January 9.
Judge Kerrigan gave Thomas B.
Eagen of San Jose a week in which to
pay up and ordered L. H. Guion to
contribute $50 a month to Rosie Guion.
Fred w. Murphy, owner of half in
terest in the $4,000 business of the
Pacific Boiler Works, was commanded
by Judge Murasky to give his wife,
Lillian, $50 a month for herself and
four-month-old babe, and Dr. z. d.
CoIburn, q dentist, was instructed to
pay $40 q month to his wife, Emily,
whom he married last May and who
sued him for separate maintenance.
Leontine Weber, who declines to get
a divorce from Albert Weber, was
awarded $35 a month by Judge Trout.
Thomas Collins, an employe of the
United States Mint, was told by Judge
Graham to pay his wife's alimony in
a week or go to jail.
DIVORCE GRANTED.
Divorces were granted by Judge
Trout to Emma r. Miller from Otis
n. Miller, desertion; to Annie NJ. VIII
hanson from c. c. Y. Williamson,
cruelty BY Judge Graham to johann
nah German from Thomas German,
cruelty: to Lulu 1. Case from Robert
Case, cruelty. Judge Kerrigan an
nulled the marriage Of Mae Elizabeth
Brown and John o. Brown because it
was illegal. Brown got an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce from his wife,
Eliza, on May s, 1902, and on the same
day went to another county and we'd

Suits for divorce were filed by Grace
L. Davis against Preston r. Davis, a

Decree = Alimony Orders

Judge Troutt's denial of a motion to
admit a supplemental answer in the
Mathews divorce case yesterday will
be appealed to the Supreme Court by
Samuel NJ. Shortridge, attorney for
William A. Mathews. A serious ques-
ton involving the rights of litigants is
raised
On November 5, 1903. Mrs. Lois
Mathews was granted an interlocutory
decree of divorce and awarded the Gus
tody of their children, with $50 a
month alimony. The prescribed year
had elapsed, but the final decree had
not been entered, and yesterday Math-
ews sought to deprive his wife of
a right TO divorce by presenting an
affidavit to the court charging her with
the commission of specific acts of in
fidelity on dates between April and
November of this year. Judge Trout
held that the motion was in the nature
of an application for a new trial, and
he denied it. Thereupon he granted
Mrs. Mathews a final decree and set
next Thursday for the hearing of a
motion to modify the decree to permit
the husband to have the custody of
the children and cease the payment Of
alimOny. Mr.. Shortridge remarked
that the court was granting the
divorce in the face of an uncontradict-
ed affidavit that the wife had been un-
