It will be seen by this that Gid. for.
got, for this once, the difference be-
tween "mine" and Chime, " and want.
ed to use the city employe for his pri.
vate work and incidentally to help an.
other of his loves, the morning paper.
1t was really too bad that Recorder
Elgin butted in and prevented this be.
ing done, for those remarks of Gid. 's
should be put in print and handed down
to poSterity.
Gideon objected to the course of the
Capital journal in crticising the action
Of the city council IN raising the city
attorneys salary. lie asserted that
this naughty, naughty paper was guilty
of "lese majestic" in daring to criti.
cize that select body Of citizens.
Gid. had on one Of his very few eco.
nomical spells The conclusion Of his
oratorical display, which the morning
paper with cheerful mendacity, says

was az matter Of fact greeted with
silence that could be felt However,
that is the kind Of applause the morn.
ing paper is accustomed to, and hence
is excusable for the misstatement.
Gid after thinking the situation over,
concluded that the city should save on
its printing bills, and 80 he moved that
the business of the city that required
advertising should he printed in but
one daily paper, instead Of two, as here.
tofore Gid didn't select the paper,
which was real artfui on his part. lie
passed that job up to the mayor, and so

GIDEON SAYS BOSTON
IS 5000 MILES AWAY
And Is Evidently Under the Impres
sion That Uncle Sam Still Sends
His Mails by OK Teams.

With a snarl like that of some pre-.
datory animal being driven away from
the fat pullets of farmers barnyard,
Councilman Gideon Stolz threw dscre.
tion to tho winds last evening, and
launched into rambling defense Of
himself, the city attorney and the city
council in the sewer bond matter.
StOlz started his talk after the city
attorney had reported his negotiations
during the last few weeks in regard to
the $3S0,00O bond issue Stolz said he
did not like to have the opportunity go
by, and asked that the lady stenog.
rapher take what he had to say, so
that he could have it published in the
Statesman in the morning. The re-
corder baked at this proposition, not
believing in having the city's stcnog.
rapher work overtime after the coun.
ell meeting transcribing notes, which
were of more interest to Stolz than any
one else. He told Stolz he could have
the notes in time for publication il
Wednesday mornings paper
Page Violently Defended,
stolz told Of criticisms which have
been made concerning the dilatory tao
tics of Page, evidently referring to TIL,
Capital Journal, and valiantly de
Tended Page, claiming that the city at
torney had acted with all possible
speed. He said the city attorney was
merely being made scapogoat. at
is as clear as the MONDAY sun to any
thinking people," solemnly declared
the councilman. Ho said IL was time
for Salem people to wake up.
He followed with a rambling dis.
course as to the proceedings told how
Boston was 5000 miles away, and II
was n slow matter for the city attorney
to get communications there and back
and thought IL wonderful that the
bonds should have been prepared with
the only error that the word "pay.
able" should have been there instead
Of "redeemablo. This little matter
was mighty important in the estima
tion Of the bond experts, IL appeared
from correspondence, however.
Not Even Murmur.
When Stolz sat down there was alb
solutely no applause, not even the clap
ping Of hands or murmur OF approval
II was evident that the councilman
stood discredited in the minds Of prac
tically every ono who heard him.
Horse Laugh for stolz.
Later he arose and stated that in the
interest Of economy he thought the
printing should be done hereafter by
only one paper, and that the matter be
left to the mayor As he sat down
what is generally known as "horsC
laugh" greeted him from the audience
the people fully understanding the OBJ
iect Of his plan.

TRIAL Of DR.. SMITH
FOR MURDER BEGINS
Leading Society Man Of Springfield,
Ohio, is Charged With Numbering
His Wife,


Springfield, o., April l5,-Backed by
the loyalty of his young wife, formerly
a nurse, whom he welded six months
after the death of his first wife, DR..
Arthur B. Smith faces trial here today
for the alleged murder of his first wife,
Mrs. Floren Cavileer Smith, in March,
1912. State and defense have made
elaborate preparations for the trial,
the accused doctor himself having spent
the months of his confinement in the
county Jail in studying poisons, in the
attempt to prove that cyanide Of potas-
stun did not cause the death Of Mrs.
Smith.
Mrs. Smith died suddenly on the
morning Of March IS, 1912, after a
slight indisposition of few days. She
complained Of illness on that morning,
and it is alleged that her husband
brought her a cup Of cocoa. She inn
mediately became violently i'll, and DR..
Smith summoned DR.. R. @. Rind Ac.
ccrding to the state s charges, DR.. Rind
advised a hypodermic injection, and
the husband said he had already pre-.
pared one, which was used. The indict'
ment charges that the alleged poison
|
ing was accomplished through the co.
Goa and the injection.
Six months later-on October 1--Dr.
Smith and Miss Mabel Merchant, nurse
at local hospital, were married. The
second Mrs. Smith is a native of Cam.
bridge, Mass, whore her relatives live.
Shortly after this marriage the county
authorities, at the instigation Of the
dead woman g family, set in motion an
investigation Of her death. The body
was disinterred and analysis Of the Wis
cera was made by chemists, who are
alleged to have reported the finding of
cyanide to the special grand jury.
DR.. Smith was arrested November 90,
1912, and committed to Jail without
bond Expensive rugs were brought to
cover the hard cement floor Of his cell
pictures and draperies hid as much as
possible the gloomy iron bars; an easy
chair, reading table and a chiffonier
completed the cell furnishings. His
meals were brought IN from restau'
rant, and he ordered telephone in.
stalled in his cell. The court, however,
baked on the telephone, and instructed
the sheriff not TO allow it.
Shortly after DR.. Smiths arrest, the
exclusive Springfield Country Club, of
which he had been a moving spirit,
quietly dropped his name from IT'S roll
Other organizations with which he had
been identified followed this example
But in the new Mrs. Smith he had a
staunch supporter. She vigorously pro
claimed her belief in his innocence al
the time of his arrest, and is still un
shaken. She has spent several hour
daily with him during the months Of
his confinement.
DR.. Smith has taken the accusation
philosophically. He has spent the great
er part Of the time in prison reading
books on poisons and their effect on hu
man beings. These books have beer
carried to him by the suitcase full. i
is through his studies of these book
that Dr. Smith says he expects to prov,
his innocence, and escape the electri,
chair.

TELLS SOME TRUTHS

Walter Macarthur of the Labor

Land Conditions.
MONOPOLY is THE CAUSE

Columbia.
MONOPOLY IS THE CAUSE


San Francisco, April 15.-Interests
which have boosted immigration to tho
skies and have declared that through
it California will be made the garden
spot of the world, were given terrific
jar today by Walter Macarthur, of the
San Francisco labor council, when he,
in a speech before the immigration con
gress here analyzed the situation and
attempted to prove that a wave of i'm.
migration under present conditions,
will smother the state rather than
make for wholesome prosperity.
Until we have the resources of our
state thrown open so that every for.
eigner invited to these shores be given
an opportunity to make a decent living
we had better go slow" said the
speaker at is all well enough to re.
ceive them in good spirit, and to teach
them to salute the flag, to sing patri.
otto songs and to do such things, The
great thing, however, is to see that
each persons who comes in gets a plen.
tiful supply Of bread and butter If
they are given an opportunity to work
and earn a good living, they will fall
into the spirit of America, and become
thorough citizens. They will sing pa.
triotic songs of their own initiative.
Owns Immense Tracts.
"Can they improve these newcom.
ers lives, as conditions now arei l
dom think 80. 1t is the boast Of one
concern in California that its cow
punchers can start herd Of cattle at
the Mexican border and drive them to
British Columbia, camping every night
or the concern 3 land. Why is this
land heldi II is held for speculation
purposes, and until this concern, and
Others like II, are forced to lot go OF
their land we must limit the immigra-
tion here as much as possible.
"0f late, many American farmers
have been migrating to Canada. Whyf
Because the land laws there make it
possible for them to make better liv.
ing The farmers who are going and
who have gone are the sturdiest Of
Americans 1t should be our first func-
tion to ameliorate the conditions which
are driving them away, After that let
us think Of inviting the immigrant. Be-
fore any other phase is considered we
must think Of bread and butter. To in.
vite immigrants in by the thousands is
to aggravate the condition that makes
willing workers more plentiful than
jobs. To aggravate this condition Is to
promote unrest
Wants No Immigrants.
To the people who believe that the
great influx Of foreigners will act as
a wedge to lift us up to higher plane
| say that the influx will bo wave
that will destroy tho prospects OF
American workers. "
The speaker showed by figures that
on account of the large holdings in Cal
ifornia the average acreage Of each
farm is 3l67, tremendous size,
when compared with other states, aud
that but Al per cent Of the land occa.
pied by farms has been improved.
