GRATITUDE OF NATION
ADDRESS ON WHAT THE PEOPLE
OWE TO ABE LINCOLN.

How great must be the gratitude of the
people of this nation to that man, who in
the flash Of the crisis, when the Union was
threatened, could discern the way the re-
public should take, and Lead it safely along
that way" said, Representative Robert G.
Cousins of Iowa, speaking Monday night
of Abraham Lincoln. He delivered a me-
mortal address before a meeting at the
Vermont Avenue Christian Church under
the auspices of the Mems Club. At the
conclusion Of Mr.. Cousins address, Rev.
F. D. Power, pastor of the church, spoke
of the character of the man whose birth
day anniversary is celebrated today. c. c.
Galloway of the Mems Club presided at
the meeting, and Russell Barnes rendered
several solos.
To his power of reason, the speaker indi-
Gated throughout the address. Lincoln owes
that brain, whether used In splitting and
piling rails, as In an argument before a
judges bench. in debate with the orators
of his day or in meeting the crisis Of a
national figure after the debate with Doug
las. By the question which he propounded
to Douglas, although denounced by his po-
htical advisers, Lincolns reaoning powers
ion clamored for him. And the crude man
of the west spoke before audiences COM
posed Of such men as William Cullen Bry-
and and Horace Greeley.
Lincoln was the originator of the IRON
clad, the speaker declared He learned
that Notifications in Charleston had been
covered with iron, so as to resist all bullets
sent against 1t. Lincoln at once conferred
with the men of the Navy Department
asking IL vessels could not be covered with
iron in q similar way. 1t was declared i'm
possible. but the Monitor resulted, 1t is
believed. from that idea And the victory
of that little raft" changed the entire
character Of the fighting fleet of the ration.
In closing, the speaker pointed out that

RIGHT OF APPEAL.
Proposition to Allow It to the Gov.
eminent Discussed.

At the close of the routine morning bust
ness in the Senate yesterday afternoon the
bill allowing the government the right to
appeal to the Supreme Court of the United
States on points Of law in criminal cases
was taken UP.
Mr.. Rayner took the floor in opposition
to the measure. He said 1t would change
the whole system OF criminal procedure.
Advising that the Senate go slow in the
enactment Of such a law. Mr.. Rayner re-
here because some packer out In Chicago
was acquitted. and that Is all this bill
means. We never heard Of 1t until that
case arose, and / believe the decision of
Judge Humphrey was right. But even IL
1t was not don't propose to pass a law
for eighty millions Of people simply be-
cause Of this one case"
In closing. Mr.. Rayner said there was
being brought forward much legislation in
the Interest Of Capitalization OF power. and
the bill under consideration extended the
Jurisdiction Of the Supreme Court. He
announced that he must be counted out of
all such efforts.
Senator Knox supported the bill, con-
tending that under. its terms no appeal
would result in placing a defendant twice
in jeopardy. 1T is only intended" he said.
ito give an appeal on questions Of law
raised by the defendant to defea the trial."
In defending the bill Senator Patterson
said the Senate judiciary committee eiimi-
mated from the House bill each point which
had been the basis of complaint by Mr..
Rayner.
Senator Hepburn offered amendments
which he said would prevent a defendant
being placed more than once in jeopardy
by making it necessary for the government
to take its appeal on questions of law be-
fore the trial should begin.
In advocating the bill Senator Nelson
said: There Is a double veto on our leg
islation. First, the President can veto
bill We can get over that by passing II
over his veto. Then the courts can veto 1t.
and we have no way Of getting over that.
1.-THE question simply Is whether we will
allow our efforts to curb the trusts to be
handicapped by a Judge Of an inferior
court"
Senator whyte of Maryland declared the
bill a measure opening the door wide to
try man over again on a bill of excep-
tions. He was earnestly opposed to 1t.
In defense Of the bill Senator Spooner
could discover no constitutional question in
the bill; 1t was not intended to abridge in
any way the right OF defendant He
saw nothing in II In the nature of CEN
tralization or an enlargement of federal
power.
When Senator Spooner closed. fur,ner
consideration of the bill was postponed for

RECALLS THE CORDEL|A BOTNN GRIMES

John P. Dunning, well known
throughout the country as a news
paper man, died in a hospital at
Philadelphia this week of tumor of
the brain. He was "A years old. He
was the man who wrote a graphic
description of the Samoan hurricane
which in 1889 destroyed six war;
ships and fifteen merchant vessels,
and was with Roosevelts rough rid
ers in Cuba.
John p. Dunning was the cause CT
the death of two women, his wife
and her sister, who were murdered
by Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, the mistress
of Dunning. The woman, deserted
by her lover, with the cunning of
fiend. planned the murder of Dun
ning's wife, and evidently cared not
how many others died with her.
Mrs. Botkin was living In San
Francisco at the time, and Mrs. Dun
ming was residing at Dover, Della
ware, with her parents and her lit
tie child. Or one Sunday afternoon
a box of chocolates was received ad-
dressed to Mrs. Dunning. having been
sent through the postoffice. No at
tention was paid to the postmark at
the time, and the family and some of
the guests were soon munching the
toothsome paste.
Shortly after everybody was taken
sick. but the illness was not at
tributed to the candy. Doctors were
sent for and pronounced the malady
ptomaine poisoning. Every recov-
cred but Mrs. Dunning and her
younger sister, who after several
days of agony passed away. The
doctors then discovered that the wo-
men We're the victims of arsenical
poisoning.
The box of candy was traced to
San Francisco, and finally to Mrs.
Botkin as the sender. The late Cap
tain Lees did some excellent detec-
tive work on the case, and finally
convicted the murderess. The trial
developed that Dunning was a de-
generate; and that ne had been liv-
ing with Mrs. Botkin, and off her.
There were stories of nights of rev.
els and days at the races and drunk
en- orgies at all times in the rooms Of
Mrs. Botkin.
The woman was wife and mother
at the time, but seemed to be un-
mindful Of the existence of husband
and son. She was a coarse and vul-
gar person in appearance. and what
attraction she found in the sight of
Dunning other than he had some

MUNICIPAL SCAvENGERs.
Yakima Contributes Information on
tile Subject.

City Health Officer Tetreau disap-
proves Of the city councils action in
dismissing on trial for a period OF
three weeks the scayenger outfit
which has done such good work the
past year, observes the Yakima Re-
public.
While it is a move looking to the
lessening of the expenses, with the
hope that the people will come for
ward and liquidate the charges for
such work. DR.. Tetreau opposes it on
the ground that he fears the work
will not receive necessary attention II
left in the hands of the citizens. He
says there is plenty of work for the
city's scavenger teams, and he thinks
they should be kept busy at the city's
expense.
Two years ago, according to the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-23

statistics Of DR.. Tetreau, there were
26+ cases Of typhoid in Yakima coun-
ty. OF this number 131 were in the
city. Last year the Reed admins
trotion instituted vigorous measures
to keep the city clean. It cost North
Yakima a neat little sum to carry out
these plans, but it also greatly dimin-
ished the number of cases of typhoid
fever, and in fact was the cause of
less sickness in the city than had
been known for years. In the whole
of Yakima county last year there
were but 165 cases of fever, and less
than one-fourth of these were in the
city.
For these reasons Health Officer
Tetreau thinks 1t would be wise to
continue the efficient scavenger
force, keep the teams on duty, and
keep the city cleaned up as it has
been for the past year. He will make
these recommendations to the city
council.

Through the personal efforts and

vey, assistant game warden, a band
of elk have been saved from starva-
ton In the mountains near here, and
Harvey deserves great credit for his
work, says Pinedale, Wyo., dispatch!
He discovered the bunch of elk
trapped in the mountains by the deep
snow, unable to get out and almost
dead from starvation. He walked
20 miles on snow shoes and carried
back 100 pounds Of alfalfa hay to feed
the animals.
Ten times he has made this peril
GUS trip over the range, suffering un-
told hardships and almost perishing
himself at times in order to keep the
little band Of elk alive, travelling a
total of over 500 miles. This is but
one of many small punches of elk
which are showed in by the great
drifts and in many cases large num-
bers Of the elk are perishing.

UNIFORM is NO PASSPORT.
Soldier or Sailor Who Is Barred Can
Only Recover Price OF Ticket.

Concerning the matter of barring
soldiers in uniform from places of
amuse ment, for just cause, dispatch
from Providence, r. l., says:
Chief Yeoman Fred j. Buenzie,
who was barred from the dance hall
in Newport because he was wearing
the uniform Of the United States
navy, can recover at law only the
price of his admission ticket, accord
ing to Il decision handed down by
VIM. Fl. Sweetland, chief presiding
officer Of the Rhode Island superior
court.
In a brief decision the Judge holds
that the proprietor of place of
amusement is not under any obliga-
tion to admit any person whom he
may choose to exclude.
The court holds also that the ac-
tion is not properly one for damages
for the wrongful exclusion of the
plaintiff, but is an action for breach
Of contract because of the failure of
the defendants to carry out the con-
tract they made when they sold the
ticket. This covers only the recovery
OF the admission price and thee ex-
pense incurred in attempting to OBJ
tam admission to the pavilion.
