STAND

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 19.-
The prosecution in the case of
Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk,
who is accused of poisoning her
millionaire husband, rested today
at 1880 O'Clock.
When she entered the court
room today, looking bright and
chipper, Mrs. Schenk displayed
little evidence of the illness that
caused yesterdays sudden ad-
journment.
Denies She Collapsed
"I'm feeling fine" she said.
"It was the stifling atmosphere
that made me i'll. Collapse? Do
look it?" and she smiled as her
eyes swept the curious chowd
already in the courtroom.
The first witness of the day was
Landy Wilson, the chauffeur who
told of Mrs. Schenk's alleged i'm

lips. Asked why he had not IN
formed Schenk; of his wife's in
fidelity, Wilson replied: 1T was
none of my business. He wouldn' t
have believed me, anyway"

Ballinger
Kept Just
Inside Law
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. ID.
Declaring that the acts of Sec
retary Ballinger had been Just
inside the line of criminal guilt,
Senator Fletcher of Florida today
spoke in the senate, endorsing the
minority report of the congress
sional investigating committee.
Between vulgar graft and per-
fection," he said, ''lies the stand
ard of conduct of their officials
that the people have the right to
expect. They do not require in
fallability, but they certainly are
not satisfied to have their Off
cials barely keep on the windy
side of the law and pursue a
course of neglectfulness and un-
faithfulness to their interests
which is just within the line of
criminal guilt.
Favored Interests"
"Ballinger was far from candid
in his letter to the president which
denied the truthfulnes of the Gla-
Wis statement, and there is no
doubt that after his resignation
as land commissioner he acted as
the legal representative of the
Cunningham group. In fact, he
admitted on the stand that he act
ed in that capacity. Throughout
the whole record it appears that
as lawyer, as commissioner and as
secretary of the interior, Ballin-
ger fully sympathized with the
coal land claimants and desired
that they be given the patents
they desired. If they had violat-
ed the law, he held, it was be-
cause the law was absurd. No
where does it appear that he
wanted the law enforced no
where is he shown as safeguard
ing the public interest; he always
seemed to feel it his duty to look
out for private interests and to
entirely lose sight of the fact
that the peoples property was at
stake"

TESTIMONY.

The principal feature of the
trial of Mrs. Martina Kvalshaug
this morning was the defendant
herself. who went on the witness
stand. Completely self-possessed,
Mrs. Kvalshaug answered the
questions put to her, in a firm,
clear voice. She absolutely de-
MED any knowledge of Ray Eel
ton, the newspaper reporter who
testified that in an interview both
at the city and county jails Mrs.
confessed the crime to
him. She stated that the first
time she saw FELTON, was when he
appeared as witness at her first
trial. This rebuttal of Felton's s
evidence was practically the only
point on which Attorney Kelly
questioned his client, and when
under cross-examination by Attor-
ney Burmeister she maintained
her statements.
Called by the defense, John T.
Willis testified that he was a
juror in the first trial of the case,
and being handed the revolver
with which the shooting was done
stated that the gun was not in
the same condition now as when
examined by the jury at the time
of the first trial.
1t is likely that the defense
will close its case this afternoon.

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 19.-One of
the most disastrous floods that
has visited Salem in years is that
which is raging at the present
time and the conditions are grow
ing worse hourly with no signs
of abatement. Already many
homes have been devastated, live
stock killed and one life is known
to have been lost and there were
numerous narrow escapes from
death by drowning and many sem
sational rescues made.
Bridges Washed Out.
All of the bridges in the city
with the exception of three sub
stantial concrete structures have
gone down before the furies of
the steadily increasing volume of
water. Water and gas mains
have been washed out and broken,
leaving scores of families without
water and light, and many por-
tions of the city are effectually
cut off from fire protection by
reason of the washing out of the
bridges, within the city limits.
At O'Clock this morning the
river at this point was 16 feet
above low water mark. a rise of
three feet in three hours, and
is still rising.
Rider and Horse Drown.
The damage to the city is esti-
mated at approximately $4,000
and to individuals $4,000.
Joshua H. Smith, 50, resident
of Salem, who was entering the
city on horseback from his sub
urban home rode off into the
water where he supposed the
Winter street bridge was located
and horse and rider were washed
away.
Smith succeeded in grasping
the boughs of a fir tree and Just
as rescuers had dislodged him
and started for the shore, the
aged man was wrenched from
their grasp and drowned. His
body has not been recovered.
PORTLAND, Jan. 19.-Train
service north, south and east out
of Portland is demoralized, base
ments and streets are flooded,
telephone and telegraph lines are
crippled as a result of a heavy
downpour which began Tuesday
and only showed signs of ending
today.
In the Cascades the heavy rains
caused q number of small land
slides last night which effectually
stopped all east and west bound
traffic over the O-W. r. & n.
Floods washed out bridges north
and south of Portland. stopped

TOXIC, Jan. 9.-Daunted by
a storm of protests which poured
in since the sentencing to death
of "a socialists here yesterday for
alleged conspiracy to assasinate
the mikado, Premier Katsura and
three of the most powerful mem
bers of his cabinet today rendered
their designations to the mikado.
Those who Joined with Katsura in
the effort to shift responsibility
for the governments condemna-
ton of the socialists were minister
of Interior Hirat; Minister of
Education Komatudara and Min
lister of Commerce and Agrucul-
.ture Oura.
The action of Premier Katsura
and his ministers IS hailed by the
socialists of Japan as an import
ant preliminary victory in the
fight they have already started
to save Denjiro Kotoku, his mis-
tress, Suga and the % other
socialists condemned to die.
May Commute Sentence.
1t is believed that their fate,
now being directly in the hands
of the mikado, the protests
against their execution will be
more likely to succeed than IL
katsura had stood his ground.
To the emperor now will come
direct worldwide demands that a
commutation of the death sem
tence be granted.
In no. case, it is said, will Kat
sura's iron measures be contin-
ued. Kotoku's partisans, since
the conviction and sentence of
their fellows, have shown that
socialism in Japan is wider than
was generally believed, and that
any attempt to suppress the pro-
paganda by the same measures as
adopted in Kotoku's case, will
be certain to prove seriously en-
barrassing to the government.
