GRAND JURY HOLDS
AN EXTRA SESSION
HAS BEEN EXAMINING
WITNESSES ALL DAY
Called Primarily 10 Relieve Congested
Condition of Jail But Recent De-
livery Solves ProbIem-,Jury Inves-
tigating Gambling.

An extra session of the grand jury
was convened at the court house this
morning. 1t was called several days
ago, primarily for the purpose of re-
lieving the congested condition of the
jail. Since the call was made how
ever. the prisoners took it upon them
selves to relieve the congestion and
there no longer seems to be the ne
cessity for the session which existed
before.
The jury has been busy examining
witnesses, all day, however, and some
of the passengers who came in on the
Pilot Rock train this afternoon, inn
mediately repaired to the court house
SO it presumed that they have been
subpoened as witnesses. Rumors on
the street are to the effect that the
recent visit of the detective was not
fruitless after all and that indictments
for illegal liquor selling may be ex-
pected.
The witnesses being examined to-
day also indicate that the question
of gambling, which recently yielded
some revenue to the city, Is being
looked into by the grand jury.
The members Of the jury are James

Final Struggle i'm Big Dissolution Suit
Commences Before Supreme Court
Government Alleges Standard
OIL Is Monopoly i'm Restraint of
Trado-Perhaps Rockefeller Had
Ulterior Motive i'm Announcing Pro-
posed Gift of His Fortune to Char
ity.

Washington. March 1.-THE final
stage in the three year legal strug-
gle between the department of justice
and the Standard Oil company was
reached today when the argument be-
gan before the supreme court. The
case was appealed from a decision of
the federal circuit court at st. Louis,
which ordered the trust dissolved
John q. Milburn opened the argu-
ment for Rockefeller. The court
has granted three days for each side
The government contends that the
Standard Oil company is a monopoly
in restraint of trade.
The argument and submission of the
dissolution suit to the supreme court
is attracting specal attention in view
of the recent introduction in the SEN
ate of the Gallinger bill providing for
"a Rockefeller foundation" The
statement is freely made that the
foundation" proposal may have been
introduced just at this time for the
purpose of creating public sentiment
The announcement that Rockefeller
proposes to donate his enormous for
tune to charity and the welfare of the
human race, coming at the time of the
final hearing of the suit, is believed
by many TO have more than Ms ap-
parent significance.

WEIGH DENIES SALE
OF NORTHWESTERN
ADMITS, HOWEVER, THAT
BYLLESBY HOLDS OPTIONS
General Manager of Corporation De-
nics Emphatically That Reported
Sale of Plants Has Been Made
Says Chicago Company Holds Op.
tion on S4,OOO.OOO Property.

a. Welch. general manager of the
Northwestern corporation, was inter-
viewed yesterday regarding the report
ed sale of the firms properties to the
II. NJ. Byllesby company of Chicago,
H., says Sundays Portland Journal.
The Northwestern corporation has
sold nothing" said he.
He was asked IL the Chicago COM
pany'held an option on the properties
of the corporation.
"Oh, some, yes" was his answer.
Mr.. Welch said later that the II. NJ.
Byllesby company held an option COW
ering property of the Northwestern
corporation valued at about $4,000
900. He said the option would expire
soon.
"The Byllesby company holds an
option on nothing but the gas and
electric systems, which we control, -
Mr.. welch averred. at does not cover
And neither does It cover all our
lighting and power holdings"
Although no official statement
would be given out, Il is generally
understood that the option covers the
Spokane. North Yakima, Walla Walla
and Vancouver, Wash, systems of the
Northwestern corporation. The Stra-
horn interests enter into the deal by
reason of the reported fact that the
Northwestern Light & Power company
the electric plant at North Yakima,
has been bought from them by the
Byllesby company. which is also de-
clared to have possession of the va
kima Valley Power company, another
Strahorn concern. The North Coast
railroad is not connected in any way
with the negotiations.
Reports that the Byllesby company
has purchased the Northwestern cor
poration are mere nonsense" said Mr..
Welch.
Within the last year the II NJ Byl-
lesby company has purchased the Con-
dor Light & Power Co., which supplies
Medford, Grants Pass. Ashland and
Rogue River valley cities; Coos Bay
Gas & Electric Co., Coos Bay, Or.

A thirty passenger steam launch is
to be placed on the government reser-
voir near Hermiston in the immedi-
ate future by DR.. Henry Waldo Coe.
The permit has been secured from the
government, the launch has been or
dered and will soon be in operation.
DR. Coe has accepted a contract to
sell about 10000 acres of the land
under the Umatilla project and will
take up this work tomorrow. He has
already sold a greater part of the
land under the Furnish-Coe project
through his extensive eastern system
and he expects to dispose of the Her
miston lands as rapidly.
The launch and two automobiles
which he will keep at Hermiston will
be used by him in showing the tourists

the autos will probably make regular
trips between the town and the mon
ster reservoir or lake and il is expect
ed that the lake will become a pop
ular summer resort in very short
time.
There is now more water in the
reservoir than there has been since
its completion and with the big feed
canal running full capacity and pour
ing in II at the rate of 800 second feet
it will be but a short time until it is
completely filled. Then the entire
1900 acres contained in the reserva-
tion will be covered and the lake will
have a shore line Of from eight to 12
miles. When filled the reservoir will
contain $4,000 acre feet. At present
there are 10000 acre feet held behind
the big dam.

Mrs. sayler, Doctor Miller and the
Grundens under arrest.
The inquest was held two days later
and excitement was Intense. A great
crowd Of people surrounded the Jail
at Watseka and hooted and cursed the
accused and demanded their lives, but
the sheriff dispersed the crowd.
Wife Blames Husband.
On the night of the murder Mrs.
Sayler stated that her husband was to
blame for the tragedy. She stood by
Doctor Miller at every point. She
telephoned to Watseka for a physi-
clan to come and dress his wounds.
When arrested she was in bed feign-
ing sleep. She told a disconnected
story at the time, but the next day
said that Miller was compelled to kill
her husband to save his own life. She
has not contradicted this story since.
Goldie sayler. 16 year old daughter
of the murdered man, came to the res
cue of her mother. She told of the
threats which had been made by her
father against both Miller and her
mother and said she was glad he was
dead. Later she said she would help
the prosecution and endeavor to secure
a conviction of her fathers slayer.
She was sent to the residence of her
grandmother at Bluffton. Ind. She
remained there for several months,
but recently returned to the vicinity
of Watseka and now frequently calls
on her mother.

Philadelphia, Mar. 1.-THE general
order issued by the central labor un.
ion to milkmen, bakery wagon drivers,
and others who deliver the necessities
of life to quit, was generally disobeyed
today, the majority remaining at
work. 1t seems possible that the con-
flict of authority between the local
and national labor leaders may result
from the order. In most of the trades
the international organizations have
ordered the men to remain at work.
Pressure was brought to bear on
the brewery workers and their repre-
sentatives voted to join in the gen.
eral strike despite the orders of their
national officers. Before this action
was taken the German trades section
of the Central Labor union had voted
to expel the brewery workers from
membership and to boycott all Phil
adelphia beer. The brewery workers
then held a special meeting and de-
cided to join the strike.
New Carmen Arrive.
Two hundred new motormen and
conductors reached here yesterday,
120 of whom were from Philadelphia
and so from Buffalo. About 70 Of
the recently employed men were dis
charged by the company in its efforts
TO weed out the undesirable element
of its new employees.
No serious disturbances were re-
ported from any section of the city.

Wife-NIystery Surrounds Killing.

Watseka, m, March 1.-THE
cases of DR.. William A. Miller, Mrs.
]. B. Sayler and John Grunden, in
dicted for the murder of J. 3. Sayler,
banker, at Crescent City. ILL.,, Sun
day, July IL, was called in the Iro-
quois county court for trial today.
The state will answer ready and it
seems probable the defense has agreed
to go to trial.
So far the defense has not shown
its hand, but the belief is general
here that it will be content to allow
jury of Iroquos county citizens to
pass on the case.
There has been no murder in Illi-
nois in a quarter of a century which
has attracted so much attention as
the Sayler murder.
j. b. Sayler was a wealthy banker
living at Crescent City, eight miles
miles from here. Lucy Sayler his
wife. the central figure in the tragedy
which broke up two homes, went to
Crescent City many years ago as the
bride of the banker. Her beauty and
vivaciousness attracted a large circle
of friends
Story of the Crime.
Dr William 4. Miller a young ply
sician. came to Crescent City from
Pennsylvania He and Mrs. Sayler
We're thrown much in each others
company. Mrs. Sayler accompanied
the physician on riding trips and her
husband knew this.
Early this year Miller's friendship
for Mrs. Sayler is alleged to have been
commented on. and it is said friends
of Sayler went to him and advised
him for the sake of his daughter, to
put stop to their acquaintance.
Neighbors say there were many
harsh words between them. but no op-
en- rupture until the evening of July
II. 1t is stated that early on this eve
ming Sayler and his wife had a pro-
longed argument which ended by his
leaving the house for several hours.
When he returned. DIR. Miller. John
and Ira Grunden. father and brother
of Mrs. Sayler. We're at the bankers
home. Sayler seated himself in the
front yard and at about IL O'Clock.
so testimony at the inquest showed,
he was called into the house to join
in game of cards.
What actually transpired after he
entered that room was not made clear.
1t was established Sayler was found
dead some time later and DR. Miller
admitted he shot him, saying he acted
in self-defense.
At the inquest it was alleged that
when Sayler opened the door he grab
bed an AK from the parlor floor and
started toward Doctor Miller The
condition of the room indicated that
they fought desperately There was
blood on every chair and walls and
pictures We're bespattered, and there
were two bullet holes found in the
walls. Sayler's body was found
wedged behind a couch. where wit
nesses say he fell after receiving the
mortal wound.
As near as could be determined by
the coroner the shooting occurred be-
tween IL and IL o'clock and about two
hours later the sheriff was notified
at his home in Watseka. He drove to
Crescent City at once and placed

Carter and Simpkins are wanted

grovery. Bloom is accused of robbing
a neighbor's cabin in Coombs canyon
while Gould and Ray are the two
young men who robbed the Indian
camp on the reservation.
All of them would undoubtedly have
been indicted by the grand jury,
which was convened today, would
have entered pleas of guilty and been
sentenced to the penitentiary.
Three of the prisoners, believed to
be Leo Lent, Peter Bloom and o. l..
Simpkins, were seen to pass the Fra
zier farm on Tutuilla creek a few min
utes after the break was made. That
night three horses were taken from
Mckay creek ranchers Dan Shaw
losing two of them. One of them
was later abandoned. Two saddles
were stolen near Lees crossing and
the two remaining mounted men
struck for the headwaters OF Mckay
creek. Sheriff Taylor is in pursuit and
will probably have the men within a
short time as they will be apprehend-
ed If they keep below the snow line
and will be easily tracked II they go
beyond that line.
Men Are Armed.
Lent went from the Jail TO his home
where he secured a revolver and rifle
and both the men seen going toward
the mountains this morning were arm
ed with 3030 Winchesters. The sec
ond rifle was evidently stolen from
some farm house or supplied by the
same confederate who assisted them
in escaping.
Taylor is also armed and If the two
men do not submit to arrest without
a fight, a fight will surely ensue.
