The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-03-15

PORTLAND, March 14.--No signs
whatever of yielding are shown by the
either striking sawmill operatives or
their engineers. An effort is being
made by Mayor Lane of this city to
bring the contesting parties together,
but he declined to say what, if any,
his success had been. From what in
formation can be gained, it is believed
the Mayor made little or no progress,
for the contestants were more firm, If
possible, today in their assertions that
they had nothing to arbitrate. What
may eventuate in a rift in the cloud,
is an assertion made by one Of the
largest loggers in the Columbia River
district. This man says the men en-
ployed in the logging camps in that
district were not in sympathy with the
present strike; that they were satisfied
with the wages they were getting and
are inclined to be in an ugly frame Of
mind because the strike has caused a
shut down of the logging industry.
There are about thousand hands em-
ployed in the district and he says ne
believes that after week or ten days
the laborers will come to Portland and
offer their services to sawmills.

Arguments Advanced to Check
Legislation Causes Panic.
HARTMAN ADMITS CHARGE
Attitude of Federal Government Not
Cause Of Panioky Conditions on Wall
Street--President and Cortslyou
Flooded With Appeals For Aid.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-For more
than fortyeight hours the White House
and Treasury Department have been
flooded with appeals for President
Roosevelt and Secretary Cortelyou to
take some action to avert the threat
ened disaster" in the nancial and rail-
road world. 1t can be stated however,
that the president will not change his
attitude toward the railroads, though
it is admitted that the administration
has no intention of entering on any ex-
tremely radical attack on railway cor
porations. While 1t it known that the
apparent failure of ]. P. Morgan's ap-
peal to the President last Monday
night to issue reassuring statement
to the country in regard to the admin
istration's attitude toward railroads
has much to do with the panicky con-
ditions which swept over Wall Sareet
today.
. President Roosevelt has repeatedly
stated that he is not an enemy of the
railroads and that those which obey
the laws have nothing to fear from the
government. While it is not definitely
decided the President may issue state
ment outlining his attitude after the
meeting with railroad presidents which
will be held early next week. The ad-
ministration Is firmly convinced that
the great unrest in financial circles
have been bought on b ythe arguments
advanced by the railroad interests in
various states is trying to prevent
hostile legislation" and not by the at
titude of the Federal government has
taken to enforce the laws regulating
common carriers

Widest Trading Since Days Of

FURRY.
WORST NEAR CLOSING TIME
Slowing Up Would Mean curtailment
Stocks For Day Ranging Up To Near
Iy Twenty One Per Cent on Par
Market Without Support.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Under the
effect of 25 percent money and gen.
eral pessimistic sentiment, developed
as the result Of the recent heavy de-
cline. trading on stock exchange to-
day reached a stage of decentralization
bordering on actual panic. The worst
period OF the day was shortly before
closing. although there was an ex-
tremely violent falling of in price be-
tween twelve and one. New low re-
cords for the year and in some instan-
ces for several years were established
n speculative issues under precipitate
selling, with market apparently with
out other buying orders than those of
bears to cover tneir short contracts
and realize their profits. Closing quo
tations showed the following decline
for the day in leading shares: Anal
gamated Copper II 3-4, American
Smelling 16 is, St. Paul Is lis, Con-
solidated Gas Z, Delaware and Hud-
son 10 IA, General Electric 9 1-2,

souri, Pacific IA, National Lead 8

Western IA, Northern Pacific s,
Pennsylvania s liz, Reading 20 ga,
Southern Pacific ga, Twin City Ra-
pid Transit 5, Union Pacific 20 ga,
U. S. Steel is and U, S. Steel.
In most instances even these figures
do not show the extreme declines as
Reading closed two points above the
lowest quotation and Union Pacific
4 1-2 above the lowest of the day.
Business on Exchange started rather
quietly, apparently influenced by bet
ter prices in London, but before eleven
o'clock a heavy selling movmnt was in
progress and prices lost from one to
four points. Later prices steadied 'af
ter which there was a falling off in
business and the market remained rel
atively quiet until between twelve and
one, when the bears centered their at
tack on Union Pacific, Reading and
Amalgamated Copper. The whole list
was affected by the rapid selling and
the falling off in these shares, and the
scene became one Of the wild confus-
ion.
There seemed to be absolutely no
support to the market, the trading be-
coming demoralized This downward
movement seemed to spend its force
in short time only to be succeeded

has been known since the Northern Pa
cific panic of 1901, All three stocks,

fered heavily and traders thought the
worst of the day was over but more sen
sational scenes were to come just be
fore the close. Brokers who had call
ed on their customers and had not re-
ceNed satisfactory responses threw
over their stocks almost without re-
gard foor the prices eceived. AZ
ter the most urgent selling had been &C
complished, there were sharp rallies
In a number Of shares most Of the
leaders closing one to three points
above the lowest point reached dur

Answers Same to Hypothetical
Questions Of DeImas
and Jerome.
AHER's QUESTION LONG
Alisnist Flint Of opioion That Tbaw
10 Liable for Murder In FRS. Do.
4. srse--Trial Will Last Out the Month.
Of March.

NEW YORK, March t4.--Answering
the same hypothetical question In re-
sponse to which the alienists had de-
clared Thaw was suffering from an
unsound mind and did not know the
nature or quality OF his act when he
shot Stanford White, Dr. Austin Flint
first expert called by District Attorne,
Jerome In rebuttal, declared It to be
his opinion that Thaw did know the
nature and quality OF his act and knew
that the act was wrong. When the
court adjourned Delmas had not be-
gun his cross examination of Flint
who was the first OF six OF the alien
lists to be called by Jerome. ...
After receiving Flint's answer to the
Delmas hypothetical question, Jerome
had read TO the witness the prosecu-
tion's hypothetical question. which con-
tained some fifteen thousand words and
which required one hour and IS min
utes In It's reading. This question con-
contained Il history OF the case and the
events leading UP to the night Of the
tragedy, including Thaw's courtship OF
Evelyn Nesbit; her account of her
maltreatment by White, the trip OF
Tnaw and Evelyn to Europe before
they were married, when they travel
ed as man and wife: the testimony OF
James c. Smith as to Thaw's conduct
on the night OF the killing before Thaw
shot White, and of conversation be-
tween Thaw and alienists at the Tombs
prison.
When the question was finished, Jer-
ONE again asked Flint IL Thaw knew
the nature and quality of his act and
II he knew the act to be wrong, and
Dr. Flint again said without qualifl-
cation that Thaw knew his act was
wrong and is therefore liable for mur-
der In the first degree under the sta
tutes of the state of New York. Del
mas indicated that ne would cross ex-
anime each expert searchingly.
Jerome's sanguine prophecy that the
taing Of testimony would be concluded
tomorrow night has been abandoned
and those concerned In the case again
look to April l as the earliest moment
Of closing the trial,
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-03-15

NEW YORK, March 14.-A crucial
point in the trial of Harry X. Thaw
has been reached. 1t revolves about
the affidavit which Lawyer Abraham
Hummel has in his possession and
which Is said to have been dictated by
him at the instance Of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw. The legal fight to admit this
testimony began yesterday when Dis
trict Attorney Jerome made the most
impassioned address yet heard at the
trial, In which he pleaded eloquently
for Its admission. The fight will con-
tinue when the trial Is resumed today
and Lawyer Delmas for the defense
will argue against its admission. 1t
was to give the defense time in which
to study precedents and to otherwise
prepare for the fight that court ad-
journed yesterday, after a session last
Ing less than two hours.
