Distressing Scene in Court at Portland

Testimony.

Portland. Ore. June 26.-On the day
that marked the 10th milestone of his
journey through life. his face blanched

temples; with beads of p~erspiration
glistening on his forehead; with handa
clasping and unclasping along the side
of the table at which he sat. John H.
Mitchell, senior United States senator
from oregon. today listened to this
testimony of Judge Tanner, his life
long friend and law partner.
Judge Tanner was not less white
or less agitated. and throughout his
testimony his wore cane hesitatingly
and falteringly, and so low that the
ticking of the court room clock was
audible throughout the hour or more
that it took to give his testimony.
When the court adjourned for the
day Judge Tanner was still on the
stand
Tanner identified checks paid by
Frederick a.. Krebs to Tanner and
letters that passed between himself
and Senator Mitchell relative to their
practice before the land department.
Letters showing that Mitchell re-
ceived each month his share of the
firms earnings, which was one-half
OF the net receipts. and that the money
paid by Krebs to Tanner entered into
the funds divided at the end of each
month We're offered in evidence. A
letter from Mitchell to Tanner showing
that he received upon his own request
a copy Of the FIRMS books. showing all
receipts and how secured during the
senator's stay in Washington, was an
Exhibit offered TODAY.

Venezuelan President Opens Custom
House at

Washington, June 26.-The state de-
partment has received official advices
Of the establishment of a custom house
at Carenero. Venezuela. about seventy
five miles east OF Laguayra, Venezuela.
by a decree Of President Castro, of that
county,, dated May 90. The action has
aroused intense interest here, in view
of the fact that it will very materially
diminish the hypothecated customs
revenues Of Laguayra. just as the port
of Porto Cabello was affected in this
degree by the recent establishment of
Tucacas as a port of entry, and the
returns Of which will be still further
le:.sened by the expected opening OF
an adjacent customs house at Ocumare
de la Costa.
Thirty per cent. of the customs rev.
enues OF the ports of Laguayra and
Porto Cabello is pledged to the creditor
nations of Venezuela.

New York. June 26.-President New
man, Of the New York Central and
Lake Shore railroads, said that the
twenty hour schedule OF the Twentieth
Century Limited on the New York Cen
trail n Lake Shore railroad would be
restored at once instead Of the eighteen
for only a few days.
President Newman said: "Since the
sad accident that has happened on
the Lake Shore l have had a consulta-
ton with the operating officials who
caused by a misplaced switch and was
not due to the speed Of the train. and
they assure me that the present sched-
ule can be safely n easily main
tanned. While I agree with the operat-,
ing officials that there is no physical
be continued, nevertheless, in my judg-
ment the time of the Twentieth Gem,
fury Limited should be restored to
twenty hours, and that 1t will be done
at once.''
On Sunday al 2:3O p. m. the first 49,
hour train pulled out OF the LAX. Shore
depot in Chicago. officials Of the road,
representatives of newspapers. and
prominent business men of the west
were aboard. Here is the complete
record Of the initial trip:
Chicago to Elkhard, fourteen minutes
ahead OF time.
Elkhart to Toledo, thirteen minutes.
Toledo to Cleveland, twenty minutes.
Cleveland to Buffalo, thirty minutes.
=. Buffalo to Syracuse, twenty-eight
minutes.
Syracuse to Albany, eight minutes.
Albany to New York. four minutes. :
Total. III minutes saved out of the
schedule time of 1850 minutes.
This feat was accomplished apparent
ly without the slightest effort.
More Than Sixty Miles an Hour.
Including scheduled stops. the run
ming time between Chicago and New
York was, therefore. at the rate OF 1894
miles an hour. To arrive at a clear
notion of the speed of the unfortunate
Century 1T is necessary to take over the
dead time" which includes all the
stops for passengers, for change of m
gines and crews. and for water at
Dunkirk. The actual dead time" was
forty minutes, making the actual run
ming time of the Century 923 minutes
for the 961 miles. Figured in this man
ner, the average speed of the Century
was 61.S miles an hour for the entire
journey.
Not only did the train on the Sun
day run beats its schedule. but it had
to hold back to keep from running
ahead of Father Time itself. At sew
eral stations the train pulled in from
ten to twenty minutes ahead Of time
and the passengers alighted and passed
the time in taking automobile trips
about the city where the stops were
made. AT Elkhart, Ind, the first auto
trip was made and consisted of a
twelve minute sight seeing tour of thai
city. At Toledo ten minutes was de-
voted to this diversion.
Train "Loafs" III Minutes.
The schedule for the first trip was
1880 minutes. but the actual running
time was only 963 minutes. This shows
the train had to loaf away III minutes
of time-nearly two hours. The dis
lance was 961 miles.
Not only was the trip taken in safety,
but the officials declared thai the limit
IF speed compatible with safety had not
been reached.
