ARE MURDERERs HYPNoTIsTs?
Widdowson and Brown Have Strange
Control Over Woman.

A dispatch from Baker City gives
the following sensational story of the
opening of the Moody murder trial
there:
This woman. Mrs. Fannie Coles,
sister of the late Willard Moody, is
completely under the influence of
Alex Widdowson and Ira Brown, the
men accused of the murder of her
brother" This was the first bomb
she'll fired in the Moody murder case
when District Attorney Lomax made
the opening statement of facts this
morning.
Gentlemen, in all my experience
at the bar, I have never heard such
a highly colored statement purporting
to be facts, as that of the prosecu-
tion," was the second sensation
launched at the jury by Judge White
for the defense. Judge White in his
statement vowed that he would dis
rrove the statements of the district
attorney and that the evidence, which
according to the prosecution itself is
purely circumstantial, will show that
Widdowson is unjustly accused of
numbering his best friend.
The strongest circumstances to be
used against Widdowson. as shown in
the opening statement are the gun
shots heard by witness Saturday even
ing, September Is, who Immediately
went to Widdowson's saloon and saw
the proprietor enter later and walk
into the back room, return to the bar
and apparently shove something
under it, then taking a drink walk
out and vanish for an hours time,
and the fact that he and Brown were
anxious to assist in tracing the mur-
derer.
The prosecution will also show, ac-
cor6irg to its statement, that Rollle
Brown. the son of one Of the accused
men, heard Alex Widdowson and
someone else whose identity he cannot
swear TO, talking on the street the
night before the murder. He heard
Widdowson swear to take Willard
Moody's life.
The fact that a gold band ring
worn by Moody during his life was
found in the purse of Ira Brown after
the murder will he used against the
defendants.

WOULD CHANGE MANY LAWS.
Portland Bar Association Considering
Many Matters of Legislation.

A number of vital changes in the
laws of Oregon have been suggested
by the Portland Bar association and
1t IL hoped to secure the passage of
several laws which will he beneficial
to litigants and the general public.
The most important of the propos-
ed changes in present statutes includ-
ed cutting down of the filing fees In
divorce cases from $50 to SO, that
three-fourths of jury may give the
verdict in a civil suit, insufficlency of
evidence not proper grounds upon
which to grant a non-suit or new trial,
all notary publics shall be attorneys,
real estate of deceased persons shall
not be liable for debt after six years
from his or her death, the city of
Portland may be made into one JUS
tice court district, and the removal
Of the $4,000 limitation for wrongfully
causing the death of person.
Several other changes and new
measures are proposed dealing with
practice before the courts and these
will be forwarded In the shape of bills
to Senator Milarkey and Representa-
tive Frank r. Freeman to be intro
duced into the legislature.

The special edition Of the Lewiston
Tribune just issued gives the follow
ing description of the immense irri-
CATION dam being completed near that
city,
II would take a continuous train
over 500 miles long or $500 cars TO
hold all the dirt in the big dam, the
most immense physical feature of the
Lewiston Orchards irrigation system.
This stupendous earthen dam is the
sixth largest in the world. 1t Is big
enough to dam the mighty Mississippi.
Dumped in Niagara gorge, it would
fill that precipitous ravine from the
American to the Canadian side with
a wall 100 feet thick and as high as
the falls.
A steam shovel which lifts three
tons of earth and makes four dumps a
minute, is gouging this dirt out of the
reservoir and dropping it on cars.
This shovel is one of the largest OF
its kind in use anywhere. 1t had to
he taken out to the dam site on an
improvised railroad track all the way
ahead and taken up behind as rapidly
as the big machine was moved.
Night and Day Work.
Two locomotives are pulling train
loads Of dirt from the shovel to the
dam. Shovels and locomotives are
being worked to the limit, night and
day shifts being required to push the
work to quick completion. An elec.
tric lighting plant has been installed
for night worg. Contractor C. j
Holmes and force of men are crowd.
ing everything along as rapidly as
possible.
That part of the dam already CON-
pleted forms a reservoir containing
about so acres of water, for use this
| season. This part of the dam was all
narrowed layer by layer. sprinkled
and rolled by 30-ton rollers. packing
II az tight as cement. The dam is be
ing built up in two ridges, with base
| 500 feet wide at the deepest point
and in between the ridges the dirt
puddles into a dense adhesive solid.
| ity.
1t takes a sharp pick to ever
scratch the wall at any point. Such
compa ctness seems unnecessary, bu
the most exacting demands of the ex.
pert engineers must be satisfied ir
modern reservoir construction. Thi,
wall is being built by men who have
studied the famous reservoirs of Col.
orado for quarter of century and
who are specialists in this class of en-.
| ginecring.
But five earthen irrigation dams ex.
ceed this great dam in size. Algerit
has one that is larger. India two, anc
California two. The United State!
reclamation service has yet built non,
as large.

RAILROAD MEN
WORK FOR BILLS
SEEK TO REMOVE
$4,000 DEATH DAMAGES.
For the Past Five Years Oregon Rail-
road Men Have Maintained Legis-
lative Committees at Salem-It is
Hoped That Favorable Action on
Eight-Hour Day at the Present
Session VIII Be Taken.

The railroad brotherhoods OF Ore
gon will continue their struggle for
favorable legislation in Oregon by
working in the interest of numerous
bills now before the Oregon legisla-
ture.
One bill of special Importance which
the railroad brotherhoods desire to
see enacted into law, is the bill from
the Portland Bar association removing
the $4,000 limit for damages recov-
cred in case of the death of an en-
ploye. Under the present statute of
Oregon any amount which the jury
may see fit to award may be recov-
cred for injuries, but limit of $4,000
is placed upon the damages recovered
in case of death.
The brotherhoods began their legis-
lative work in Oregon at the session
of 1901, when a committee composed
of j. NJ. Poorman, for the conductors; |;
C. C. Loucks, for the brakemen;
James Randall, for the engineers,
and Bert Huffman for the firemen,
was kept at Salem during the entire
session, to work for the fellow-servant
or liability law, which was afterward
passed. At that session the bill was
defeated in the house by but four
votes.
At every session since 1901. COM
mittees have been maintained by one
or another of the brotherhoods tc
work in the interest Of legislation
This year it is also hoped to secure
favorable recognition of the eight
hour day law, although the member
do not believe that such law will b.
enacted at this session.
