OF MANSLAUGHTER
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. !

81. Helens, Or, Jan. 30.-FOllOwiug
an abrupt closing this afternoon of tho
trial of Greene Adams ON charge OF
mrler, the jury last night at $50
o'clock brought in verdict of man
slaughter.
The day was taken up with the tes-
timony of Adams, who declared that he
shot only in self defense, and not until
RObest Mcpherson had fired three
shots, one of which, Adams testified,
hit him in the leg.
Adams said that he was in the little
drugstore at VernOnia last summer,
when Mcpherson came out of the Web.
ster hotel, Adams left the drugstore
and started towards the postOffice and
saw Mcpherson crossing the bridge to-
wards him.
As the twain met, Adams declared,
Mcpherson crowded him off the mar
row walk; then struck at him.. Adams
lodged the blow, he said, when again
Mcpherson struck at him, but missed.
At this time, the witness testified,
Mcpherson drew revolver, at which
the defendant drew his, also.
Says Mcpherson Fired First.
Adams declared, however, that he did
not fire until Mcpherson had shot three
times at him. When Mcpherson was
shot, he emptied the cylinders of his
weapon at Adams, the latter said on
the stand, but failed to hit him again.
While this gun play was in progress,
Adams fired two shots, more, he said,
the first of these being fatal, McPher-
son dying within few minutes.
The testimony Of the state S witness,
the child, Hattie Webster, who said
that Adams fired first, was substianted
by R. Sessman and G. w. Mellinger,
who declared they heard the shots and
that the first one made lour report,
while those following were in rapid sue
cession, like the series of reports from
bunch Of firecrackers.

OREGON FINANCIER
PORTLAND OR SAN FRANCISCO

Seattle has no frienIs in Oregon for
selection as the Northwest Regional
bank location, according to Salem
financier. Seattle has no interests in
common with the people of Oregon,
transacts a small amount Of business
with this state, and always showed a
disposition which has translated the So
called "Seattle spirit' into the we'll
known Washington phrase the "Seattle
hog" If Portland does not secure the
bank, San Francisco is the second choice
of practically every one in Oregon who
is interested in the matter, it is de.

JAPANESE PICTURE
BRIDES IN AMERICA

Each steamer from Japan which
lands its passengers at an American
port brings over a number of young
women from the Land of the Cherry
Blossoms who are coming to claim
husbands they have never seen, but
whose photographs they cherish and
to whom by japanese statute they
have been lawfully welded. In the
past five years the number of Japan
csc women in America has doubled
and the increase is due to the pic
ture brides" as they are called.
Japanese bachelors coming to this
country as laborers have had their

thing the second time and have

These are a few of the many
astonishing statements made by vii.
liam c. Redfeld. secretary of CON-
meree in an address at the Academy
of Music to the Brooklyn Institute of
Art and Sciences on the Develop
ment of American Commerce"
THAT development" said Secre-
tary Redfeld, is so stupendous that
Its like has not been witnessed since
the dawn of time"
In further proof of his contention
Mr.. Redfield took up the matter by
comparison and gave these illustra-
tions:
in 1850 the value of our farm
property was less than SAL goo.
In 1910 1t was over $40. 600 .000, 900.
In 1850 we produced less than
SOC. 1000. 900 busels of corn; in 1910
over 1000, 900 600 bushels.
"Of wheat we grew los. 000, 900
bushels In 1850; in 1912 II was over
5000. 900 bushels.
AS recently as 1879 the valua-
ton of our farm crops was $2.200,-
900 1000. a good sum. but 1t was in
creased to $500, 100000 in 1909.
IF cotton was king Just before
the war between the states, his king
dom was small compared to its i'm
perial extent today. The story of the
growth of this great crop reads like
= Back in our infancy We
grew, in 1890, 3,13s bales. At the
time OF his alleged royalty King Cot.
ton produced. in 1859, 1900. 600
bales. This grew by 1911 to ovei
16, 900, 900 bales. We sold abroad IN
a recent fiscal year two and one-hali
times as much cotton as made the
whole crop of 1859.
I'm 1912 We produced more than
seven-twelfths of the cotton of the
world, and consumed more than
one-third of our own crop. export
ing the balance"
But Mr.. Redfeld had other and
more remarkable statistics at hand
than those furnished by the growth
of agricultural exports. He showed
that though these reached the large
sum of $500. 10000 in 1913. they
formed little more than one-fifth OF
the exports of that year. Mr.. Red
field says:
For the twelve months ended
with January 81. 1914, the balance
in our favor on merchandise trans.
actions was In excess of s676.000,.
