case

will probably prosecute the case
alone.
About $4,000 is at issue in this
case. that being the estimated value
of the estate of James w. Young, the
we'll known Weston merchant and
mill man who died a few years ago.
1t will be remembered that soon af-
ter the will found in the possession of
the chief beneficiary had been pro-
bated that second and third ones ap-
peared under mysterious circumstan-
ces. The last two purport to leave
practically all of the property to Mrs
Mabel Warner, a niece of the deceas-
ed, while the first and only one
which has been probated. left the
property to other relatives.
After the last two wills appeared,
Mrs. Warner was indicted on the
charge of forgery, it being alleged
that she had forged the second al
legged will. She was brought to trial
but after more than a week had been
consumed in the trial of the case the
jury was unable to agree and was dis
charged. After several months she
was again brought to trial and again
the jury was unable to agree upon a
verdict.
1t is practically agreed now that the
last two alleged wills are spurious. the
only question left to the courts to de-
termine being that as to .who forged
them.

Men to Whom Work Was Refused
Thought to Have Committed
the Depreciation.
Hood River, Or. June 15.-Giant
powder was successfully used last
night in an effort to cause the grow
ers composing the Farmers Irrigat-
Ing Company the loss Of large por-
ton Of their strawberry crop. Dis
gruntled laborers are suspected.
About $50 feet Of nume on q hill
side ON the west side Of Hood River
was destroyed. and the water In the
big irrigation ditch is shut on. As a
result. the crop Of two-thirds Of the
valley. about 400 acres. is without
water until such time a. the dume
can be repaired. which will take at
the least estimate three or four days.
The growers stand to lose at least
10000 crates of berries worth $780,
900. The damage to the ditch will
not amount to more than $500.
The Hood River berry season Is
now at its height and no water to
sustain the plants and ripen the ber-
ries during the present warm wealth
er will cut down the yield on every
grower along the ditch to almost
nothing. For the past few days from
five to seven cars of berries have
been shipped daily.

PRESIDENT Will
RULE CONVENTION
ROOSEVELT TELLS REPUBLICAN
DELEGATES WHAT THEY
"a MUST DO.
Justice and Fair Play the Motto OF
Administrators ON
And.InunctiOn Plank.

Chicago, June 15.-President
Roosevelt is running this convention
from the White House by long-dis-
lance telephone and other available
instruments of ready and instant
communication. He Is the boss. The
convention will do nothing that 1t
thinks may be in the slightest de-
gree Objectionable to him, and 1t is In
humor to do cheerfully and prompt
ly everything that he favors. Take
the case of the Vice-President.
1t is reported that the President
has given out an intimation that the
Vice-President must be either Sena-
tor Dolliver or Governor Cummins,
his chief political rival. Thus Iowa
will get rid of one or the other of Its
chief factional disturbers and the
troubles of that turbulent common
wealth will be composed.
The draft of the Republican plat
form made by Attorney General
Wade Ellis, of Ohio, and approved
by President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft, is now in the possession of the
prospective members of the commit
tee on resolutions and will In all
probability be adopted by the COM
mittee on resolutions with but slight
changes.
The platform contains a most en-
phatic Endorsement of the Roosevelt
administration and its policies. 1t
contains planks on the subjects of
trusts, railroads., injunctions and
currency. 1t declares for revision
of the tariff by the next congress on
the lines of the Ohio platform.
The anti-injunction plank of the
platform as passed upon in Washing
ton is as follows:
1--WE declare for such an amend
ment of the statutes of procedure in
the Federal courts with respect to
the use of the writ of Injunction as
will, on the one hand, prevent the
summary issue of such orders with
out proper consideration, and on the
other will preserve undiminished the
power of the courts to enforce their
process. to the end that justice may
be done at all times and to all par
ties"
Labor leaders are urging the adop-
ton of this plank, while employers
are opposing it.
At the personal request of Secre-
tary Taft, Senator Fulton was slated
for chairman of committee on cre-
dentials at the Republican National
Convention.

GIVES HOPE TO LUMBERMEN.
Orders Reduction in Old Rate on
Hardwood From Chicago to Coast.

Orders Reduction in Old Rate on
Hardwood From Chicago to Coast.
Washington, D. c., June 15.-In a
decision rendered today by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. hope is
held out that Pacific Coast lumber
cases, now pending, will be decided
in favor of the lumbermen, and in
event the decision is of that charac-
ter, the commission will allow the
lumbermen full recompense for the
excessive rates they have paid since
filing their complaint.
Todays decision bore on the rate
on hardwood lumber shipped from
Chicago territory to the Pacific
Coast, the commission holding that
while hardwood from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast should undoubtedly pay
higher rate than softwood from the
Pacific Coast to Chicago territory.
yet at the same time the old rate Of
IS cents on hardwood lumber is ex-
cessive and that rate was ordered
reduced to IS cents.
The commission further held that:
when the shipper has paid an ex-
cessive rate he may recover as rep
aration the difference between the
rate paid and what would have been
q reasonable rate at the time, even
though he may not ultimately be
damaged by payment of the higher
rate" But reparation was allowed
in this case only from date of filing
the complaint.

reduces the cost from nine dollars
a ton to one dollar and half ton.
1t is said the new process will also
permit the utilization of low grades
of ore which can not be worked by
the old methods and have been en-
tirely valueless.
