Attorneys for Meyer Cohen, on
trial for embezzling Moose lodge
funds, tried to show today in de-
Tense that not Cohen alone, but
the whole committee which gave
the Moose shows which the al
legged defalcation grew out of was
responsible for the money.
The name of Don M. Loveridge,
another committeeman, against
whom Cohen made charges before
his first trial, came out in court
today.
Leo Hartnett, then secretary of
the Sfodge, testified that COM
mittee, of three had been named
on Oct. 6 to draw up legal charges
against Cohen and Loveridge.
Loveridge, however, testified to-

Life Story Stranger Than
Fiction; Ends With Suicide
Man Who Served q Years for
Murder Never Committed Ends
Life, Which Was Wrecked by
Great State of Oregon.

SEATTLE, Jan. 25.-Fifteen
years ago the great state of Ore
gon made a mistake. The wheels
of legal "justice" slipped a cog,
as they often do, and an innocent
man was sent to the penitentiary
for 90 years, convicted of MUIR
der which was never committed.
Sunday, at Ballard, in a dark
corner behind two billbOards, the
victim of Oregon kicked a soap
box from under his dangling feet
and slowly strangled to death.
That ended the life of W. l..
Wealth, human derelict. The body
was discovered yesterday morning
and was identified today as that
of Wealth, who was known as an
habitual drunkard.
Came Here in July.
Veach came to Seattle last July.
He soon landed in the city Jail on
a drunk charge. There he told
his strange story, which was con-
firmed by the police. Since then
he has drifted about the city pick
ing up odd jobs, then trying to
bury his sorrow in drink.
Served Eight Years.
Wealth spent within one month
of eight years in the Oregon pen
|itentiary, and when the man he
was convicted of having murder
ed returned, Wealth was released,
only to find that his wife had mar
ried another man.
Wife Married Another.
He was released in October,
1905, with over 80 of his 99-year
sentence still unserved. Albert
Toppin, the man whom he was
accused of killing, had been found
alive. Wealth hurried from the
prison to his former home at Med
ford, and there he received his
worst blow. His wife had mar
ried a man who had been his best
friend. They were living hap
PLY.
Story He Told to the Police.
The black shadow that ruined
Veath's life came during the sum-
mer of 1897. He was living hap
PLY with his family in Jackson
county, Oregon. He had been
playing the fiddle at a country
dance. Returning home, he be-
came tired. Instead of going
home he stopped in the cabin be-
longing to Albert Teppin and slept
few hours.
Convicted of Murder.
When he arrived home the next
day he was told that Teppin's cab
in had been burned down, and
that some bones that looked like
human bones had been found. No
trace could be found of Teppin.

REDUCE DUTY
ON STEEL
BY United Press Leased Wire
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Ian. 25.

by OnlteU lfeSS Leased wire.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 25.
The house ways and means COM
mittee reported favorably on the
Underwood bill to revise the
iron and steel tariff measures.
The house democrats will hold
caucus Saturday in an effort to
secure adoption of the bill.
In reporting favorably on the
revision of the tariff schedules,
the ways and means committee
said in part:
+ "a survey of the iron and steel
industry shows convincingly that
it has reached a position of such
strength and Importance that 1t
does not need the government S
help to compete with foreign
countries. Therefore, this COM
mittee feels warranted in recon-
mending that the duties on met
ais and it's finished products be
placed distinctly on revenue ba-
sis, while definitely adhering to
the object of securing for. the
Treasury an income as large as OBJ
tainable, consistent with conserv-
ing the general interests of the
