PROFESSOR FORTY YEARS.
Enthusiastic Meeting Held i'm His
Honor at University

Pacific University, Forest Grove,
Ore, June 21.-A remarkable career
has been that of Prof. Joseph Walker
Marsh, who was lionized Tuesday
night by the associated alumni of the
university in an enthusiastic meeting
in his honor. Such a demonstration
had never been known in the institu-
TONS histoary. The occasion was the
professors retirement His resigna-
ton was accepted with much regret
by the board OF trustees.
Prof. Marsh came to Oregon over
40 years ago and has been professor
Of Greek, Latin and moral philosophy.
together with other branches, for the
entire period without interval. Sell
dom has he missed a single class and
the many students who have come in
contact with his keen intellect and
lovab bic character have always gone
from the college walls with great ap-
probation of the man whose labors
have been performed through sacrifice
and toll. In their talks at the meet
ing in his honor the students brought
out forcibly their appreciation of these
facts and the expression was always
greeted with great applause from the
audience.
Prof. Marsh was the center of all
attention and thought, as he sat in
the auditorium. his hair silvered and
his shoulders bent with the burdens
of generation. When he was pre-
sented wi.N thn Pishon's Bible. which
is several centuries old and the gift
of the alumni, the audience cheered
to the echo.
Milton w. Smith, John A. Lee ].
f. Kirkwood and II. w. Scott were the
speakers. All are graduates OF Pa
cific university. without exception
they referred to Prof. Marsh as a man
OF keenest intellect and most lovable
character
The musical part of the program
was enthusiastically received. Millard
o. Lowensule, Miss Katherine Lawler
and Mrs. Ruth Scott Laidlaw sang,
and all selections were heartily en-
cored.

Darrow will open Monday and con-

explanation of the Federation of Mi

The defense has 10 witnesses

Jim Seporn, q Denver negro, tes-
titled to the sale Of a horse and
wagon to Orchard and Pettibone, and
Identified Haywood as a man with
the party at the sale. He was the
last witness.
Borah asked for the prosecution,
to introduce later in the evidence a
telegram from Pettibone to Adams,
at Ogden in 1903. ordering the pay
ment of SIS. The defense consented
to the states request.
This afternoon the defense formal
ly moved for the release of Haywoo
on the grounds that the state has
failed to connect Haywood with the
murder Of Steunenberg except by
Orchards uncorrobordted story. 1t
is anticipated that the motion will be
denied.

SHOPS FOR RIPARIA.
Work VIII BE Resumed and Pushed
to Completion.

Lewiston, July 21.--It was learned
yesterday that 1t is planned to start
work on the remaining pier OF the
Clearwater bridge on July 10, the ad-
vices to that effect coming from Ri
paria. In this connection it is stated
that 1t is planned to complete the
work within 80 days after the crew Is
assembled here. The best class of
equipment for such work will be used,
thus enabling every detail of the con-
struction operations to be rapidly car
ried forward. A purpose in hurrying
the lawing of thetrack from Almota
to Lewiston is to enable the early de-
livery of the steel for the bridge so
that the placing of the same can be
commenced from the north side as
soon as the remaining pier is COM
pleted.
other advices yesterday relative to
the new road were to the effect that
the o. r. & n. plans to install ma
chine shops at Riparia. 1t Is even
stated that the plans for the buildings
have already been prepared and that
within a short time some announce
TIltIll VIII De Hlduc. Inc IllOTilldtlou
is to the effect that II the shops are
located at Riparia the step is the
carrying out OF a decision reached by
the company a number of years ago
when the o. r. & N. had completed
arrangements for building an inde-
pendent line from Riparia to Lewis
ton.
When the truce between the compa-
ny and the Northern Pacific delayed
the building of the new road. the
machine shop feature was also tenn
porarily abandoned to be revived now
as the result OF the joint construction
of the road. The Walla Walla-Spo-
kane section of the o. r. & n. crosses
the Snake river at Riparia and the
point is looked upon as being espe-
cially conveniently located for the
shops when the new river line is fin
ished. No reason has been assigned
by the o. r. G. n. for the withhold
ing from the public of the information
relative to the shops, and view Is
expressed that perhaps the decision to
locate them at Riparia is not yet
definite one.

wives live in the same city, and along
the line his car traverses. Updegrove
has been supporting two households,
but the end came when his two
wives got on his car at the same time,

Mrs. Uplegrove No. entered the
car and paid her fare. Two blocks
farther along Mrs. Updegrove No. 2

fare. Updegrove meanwhile ignored
both of them. Then a little girl got
on, and he had to go to the middle
of the car to collect the fare. Wife
No. began to smile affably, but her
husband scowled. Amazed at his
coldness. she essayed to give him a
piece of her mind, but he leaned over
and hoarsely whispered, "don't flirt
with me on the car"
Wife No. l seeing him whispering
to strange woman, Immediately rose
to her rights. She charged wife No
with flirting with married man."

Paris, June 21.-Owing to the GEN.
sorship in the south, only brief items
of news of the winegrowers' demon
strations have reached Paris up to this
afternoon. These. however, showed
that the conflicts between the
troops and the mobs were more SAN
culinary than were at first supposed.
At Narbonne. three were killed and
fully 100 soldiers and civilians, in
cluding a score of women. are said to
have been wounded, several fatally.
The troops who were ordered to fire
in the air. shot straight at the mobs
besieging them in the courtyard of
the sub-prefecture.
The whole army corps has been put
in motion to deal with the rebellious
winegrowers. bN the government
claims that the forces are so distribut-

and to render it practically impossi-
