court of Los Angeles county, Saturday
night, upon conclusion of argument in
the Reed will case, in which the
heirs are contesting Mrs. Reeds ST.
100000 bequest to Portland charities,
handed down decision upholding the
will on every disputed point.
AS the same decision was recently
made by the Multnomah county court
and later by three judges of the
Multnomah circuit court, sitting en-
banc, the decision will undoubtedly
stand before the supreme court OF
Oregon, to which appeal was made
from decision of the circuit court.

Judge James A. Gibson, of Los Ange-
les, represented contestants.

e. l.. SMITH FOR SENATOR.
Hood River Man VIII Make the Race
for the Nomination.

The Sunday oregonian of yesterday
says:
Latest of the republican aspirants
for the United States senatorship in
Oregon to announce his candidacy is
F.. l.. Smith, of Hood River, who made
up his mind yesterday to run for that
office instead Of for the governorship,
for which he has been doomed several
months.
The other avowed candidates for
senatorship in the republican camp
are: Jonathan Bourne, jr.. of Port
land; H. NJ. Cake, of Portland, and
stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton.
Still another aspirant who has not yet
formally announced his candidacy, is
f. B. Watson, of Portland, ex-justice
of the state supreme court.
Mr.. Smiths announcement was
made a surprise in political circles
for It was supposed he would run for
the governorship, If for any office at
all. The senatorship has been his
choice all the time, but many of his
friends insisted on his running for
governor, and for a time he yielded
to their wishes to the extent of saying
he would do so If substantial assur-
ance should come to him from the
state that he was wanted for a can
didate.
His friends found a strong senti.
ment for him for senator; besides, the
time was growing late for a new mar
in the race for governor. Conse'
quently Mr.. Smith is pursuing thu
wish he expressed before a group o.
his friends in the Perkins hotel, wher
he said he preferred to run for senator
than for governor.

MRS. NATAL LIVED IN
FEAR OF HER HUSBAND
C0Iored Masseuse Tells Murdered
Woman's Story of Relations
with Mr.. Natal.

ASBURY PARK, Jan. S:-The
sensational feature of the Mrs. Nor
ris Natal murder inquest, which was
resumed Saturday before Coroner
Macdonald, was the testimony of
Mrs. George H. Jackson, a colored
masseuse, who, on several occasions
attended Mrs. Natal in this capacity.
She said that at the request of Mrs.
Natal a short time ago. she called
on James d. Carton, a local lawyer,
with a view to ascertain if an agree
ment could not be made whereby Mrs.
Naftal's interests in the property of
her husband, Mr.. Natal, could not
be made over to Mrs. Natal.
According to Mrs. Jackson, Mrs.
Natal at the time referred to, told
witness that her relations with her
husband were very unpleasant, and
that she was afraid to stay alone in
the house, believing that he would
do her some injury. Witness declar-
ed that Mrs. Natal also told her that
Natal had struck her several times
on the head and body, and that fiji
teen years ago, when they lived at
keyport, he dragged her from her
bed and beat her numerically.
This story, which was corroborat-
ed in every detail by Mrs. Mary
Goodenough, seemed to outline a
new range of investigation in the
case.
Morris Natal, the husband, was
recalled, and testified to what he call
cd his wife's misery habits. He told
how she had saved money and in
duced him to make I've property to
her from time to time. He did not
know if she left Il will.
The inquest will be continued.
Mrs. Natal was found in her bed,
mysteriously murdered December 10.
Her hands and feet we're tied and
she had apparently been Smothered.
1t is said that much money and val
liable diamond jewelry had been TAX
en-.
Frank Perdoni, an Italian fruit
vender, is now in jail, charged with
the crime. Howard Morris is also i'm
prisoned as an accomplice.

PUSHING MOVEMENT
FOR DISTRICT COURT
PIainfieId Board of Trade Appoints
Committee to Investigate thel
Cost of Its Establishment.

PLAINFIELD, Jan. S:-Plain-
fields Board of Trade has appointed
a committee to investigate the cost OF
establishing and maintaining a dis
trict court here. Agitation in favor
of one was started by the members OF
the bar soon after it was announced
some months ago that Plainfield has
the required population, which is ov-
err 1900. The only obstacle is the
expense entailed, but advocates OF
the proposed innovation declare that
the cost would not exceed $4,000 a
year.
county Register Frank H. Smith
and former Sheriff B. Frank Coriell
compose the committee which will
investigate how the tribunal works in
Elizabeth, New Brunswick and other
nearby places, as well as the expense
of maintenance. Their report is ex-
pected to be ready at the next meet
ing. in February, but it is not likely
that the matter will be laid before
the common council until spring.
The chief reason for the new court,
according to members of the bar,
who favor it to a man, is that the
justices of the peace are not versed
in the law, and for that reason APP
peals are taken in the great majority
of cases. They argue that this is
both a needless expense and a waste
of time. The salary of the judge,
who must be a member of the bar, is
$1,000 in cities of less than $4,000
population, and the pay of the clerk
is 5000. Agsergeant-at-arms gets 81
a day while on duty, and it is said
that he would be needed but two days
in The week. In cities of the size of
Elizabeth the salaries are just double,
and it is reported that the annual ex-
pense in Union county's seat is about
$4,000 a year.
