DEFENSE
METHODS
ARE HIT
First Evidence of Use
of Mails Submitted
by Eugene Woman
On Stand

Portland, Or, Nov. 1S.-John
Todd's attorneys received a severe
rebuke from Federal Judge Bean
this morning when they attempted
to shift the responsibility for F..
L. Wilkinson of Salem losing
$1,000 in the Byron : Todd
land fraud scheme from Todd's
shoulder to B. e. Carrier, de-
ceased.
They attempted to show that
Carrier was responsible for Will
kinson taking out contract and
not Todd, and then asked Wilkin-
son his opinion concerning Todd's
sincerity in the deal. District At
torney Humphreys objected to the
witness taking the place of the
jury, and was upheld by the court,
after which the rebuke was CIV
en-.
"You have been trying to sstab-
lish ever since this case started
whether the witnesses thought
Todd was sincere at the time he
took their money" Judge Bean
said to Todd's lawyers.
Humphreys said he objected
seriously to Todd's counsel sub
stituting a dead man for the de-
fendant.
Use Of Mails Alleged.
Frank l.. Bailey, government
timber cruiser, testified that he
found 455,0O0 feet of timber on
the claim E. e. Bergman received
from Byron instead of 100000.
Mrs. Mary L. Goble Of Salem
said she was fleeced out OF $500
by Byron in 1912 in a timber land
deal, after being introduced to BY
ron by DR.. e. H. Todd She was
DR.. Todd's secretary.
Mrs Ruth Johnson of Eugene
gave first the evidence that Todd
had used the mails in deal, when
she said her check was returned
to her at Eugene through the
mails by a Salem bank. A few
weeks later, she said, Todd called
her by long distance telephone and
requested that she bring check
to him at Salem, which she did.
The check is missing.
Bankers Testify.
Salem bank officials who told or
the Byron Todd banking affairs
were H. V. Compton, Roy Burton,
and e. B. Miller.
H. s. Klepping supreme court
clerk, and w. N. Smith assistant
state school superintendent, lost
$500 each in the scene, they ,esti-
fled.
George A. Grant, Seattle Coun-
ty clerk, and George NJ. Cook, Bel
lipgham county clerk, read into
tie records lists of Byron's civil
and criminal court records show
ing judgments totaling over $17.-
600 against Byron.
C. Roger Arundel, government
agent who investigated the case
first, said Todd admitted to him
he had burned UP all unexecuted
contracts, but gave no information
concerning location of contracts
and books. Todd denied receiving
any commission on contracts, he
said, or that the mails had been
used. but admitted he had warned
applicants not to converse with
federal agents.
Brother Brought In.
DR.. e. II. Todd, former vice
president of Willamette univer-
sity, was brought into the trial
Thursday afternoon in federal
court by c. w. DeGraff, Portland
business man. DR.. Todd is at pres

lege, a Methodist school at Taco

Steel Baron Belittles
Suggestion of Danger
to Industry On Dis

New York, Nov. 1S.-Negotia-
tion OF a treaty which would pre-
vent future wars was urged, In
conjunction with an agreement Ia
limit navies, by Elbert II. Gary
chairman of the board of the Uni
ted States Steel corporation, In an
address today before tneA American
Iron and Steel Institute, Of which
he is president, He also belittled
the suggestion that armament linn
itation would reduce the manu-.
facture OF steel, saying ths
thought was unworthy OF even 9
passing notice. Business was I'm
proving. he said, but there mus
be further adjustments.
Limitation Not Enough.
with an agreement for the
limitation of capital ships" he
said, 'it would not seem to be
practical to stop with less than a
final treaty which will prevent flu
ture wars. In addition to what is
contemplated by the limitation OF
armament, there should, with 9TH
er things, be an understanding
that if any international differ
ences arose, no resort TO military
force should be permitted until
there has been a conference and
full discussion by all nations now
participating in the deliberations
at Washington.
president Harding and the
four selected, able and experienced
representative OF this country
will energetically and persistent
ly strike for an agreement.
Peace Means Prosperity.
"The benefits which would be
derived by reason of all the ma
tions living under peaceful condi-
tions, as compared with military
conflicts are beyond calculation, I"
he said. "If means for the firm
establishment and maintenance of
peace can be found and generally
assented to, it will mark an epoch
of the greatest business prosperity
as well as the largest measure of
happiness that the world has ever
witnessed. We should be thank
full that this conference has been
called"
Failure Of the conference, he
said, was unthinkable. An adj
verse outcome would be intoler-
able and those responsible for 1t
would be repudiated and everlast-
ingly condemned.
Mr.. Gary said it seemed to be
generally conceded that business
conditions throughout the coun-
try for the last six months had
been steadily. If slowly, growing
better. The volume of business
in the steel industry had more
than doubled in the last 80 days,
he said, though profits had been
little or nothing, due TO high costs
and low prices. OF the country's
business outlook, he said
World Recovering.
Even though we now have
passed the critical period in our re-
eovery, / still think we would not
be warranted in concluding we
have arrived at the point where
we can with certainty predict the
exact time when there will be a
return to a normal financial, com
mercial and industrial basis, for
the worlds economic structure
has been terribly shaken by ad
verse winds during the last few
years. There must be further ad-
justments.
"The delay in complete restora-
tion OF a sound and satisfactory
economic development and actlv-
ity in this country is largely due
to high costs-high costs OF living,
high costs OF production and
transportation and high costs OF
owning and earning money or its
equivalent"

by Chairman Hughes today to

for its third plenary session.
Washington, Nov. 1S.- (By
Associated Press.) - With the
arms conference in adjournment,
the various national groups
further developed in consultations
among themselves today the pol
icies they will follow with respect
to the Far Eastern questions and
the limitation of national arma-
ment.
Favor "0pen Door"
The British, following the lead
of the French, let it be known
that as a cardinal principle of
their attitude toward the Far
Eastern situation they stood ready
to perpetuate the topen door" in
China, give up extra-territorial
rights htere as soon as China 8
development will warrant and in
general aid the Chinese people to
assume a place of economic in
fluence in the world. 1t was fully
expected that Italy, whose inter-
est is more remote, would take
much the same position.
The Japanese having already
declared their willingness to ac-
cept the Chinese declaration of
principles "as a basis Of discus
sion" were at work framing a
more detailed statement of their
position after communication
with Toxic. There were indica-
tions that the extra-territorial
phase of the situation would oc-
cupy a prominent place in such a
statement, with Japan taking the
position that the powers cannot
give up extra-territorial rights
until the Chinese court system
has been substantially expanded
and reconstructed.

under way a similar survey of old

Obsolete vessels are to be sold or

thick as barnacles, but we need the
money. The proceeds accrue for safe

BEEF PRICES DOWN

Wholesale prices of dressed beef in

down to within two cents of pre-wa1
prices of 1913, the price decline dur
ing the year having been nearly As
per cent, according to figures publish
ed by the American Meat Packers In
stitute.
Average wholesale prices approxi-
mated IA cents a pound during the
week, against 20 cents in the same
week last year and 151a cents in 1916,
it was stated. Ordinary grade beef
dropped 27 per cent during the last
two weeks in the New York markets,
and the next grade, medium, 10 per
cent, only fancy beef prices holding
fairly firm" because of the limited
quantities available, it was stated.
These figures should furnish con-
sumers with opportunity for "bar-
gains in beef" the institute statement
said, particularly the consumer who
does not insist on fancy beef and the

MARYLAND WILL TRY
THE WHIPPING POST CURE

For the first time in ten years the
whipping post was resorted to in the
Criminal Court in the city of Balti-
more, Md, this week, when wife
beater was sentenced to taste the
lash. The whipping post is provided
for in the code of Maryland, but of
late years it has not been used to any
great extent. Notwithstanding the
cry made throughout the country
against "Old Susan" and the con-
demnatiOn of Delaware for still re-
tanning this method of punishment for
certain classes of criminals, the
Chronicle believes that this is one of
the greatest detriments to crime in
our Diamond State. 1t is gratifying
to find that our neighboring State
realizes its benefits. There is no
question but that the whipping post
keeps from our borders a certain
class of criminals who abhor this
form of punishment 1t is we'll known
that the professional crook loses cast
among others of his profession after
he has been whipped at the post.

MARRIAGE OF WRENS

Little birds in their nests agree.
So likewise do their parents, presum-
ably. But there has been much spec
uation as to whether pairs of birds,
once married, do or do not perpetuate
the welded relation from year to year.
How about the house-wren? 1t is a
gentle and virtuous bird, almost
semi-domesticated, as one might say,
inasmuch as it customarily builds its
nest in or about human inhabitations.
People who have watched the haDlts
of house-wrens have often been heard
to say that they were sure the same
pairs returned to the same nesting
places season after season. They were
proclaimed as models of marital con-
stancy.
However, Mr.. S. Prentiss Baldwin,
of Cleveland, who for many years has
made the trapping and banding OF
birds his special hobby (afterward re-
leasing them to be subsequently re-
trapped perhaps and identihed), has
found that house-wrens are no more
reliable in their conjugal relations
than folks. In some instances these
relations are perpetuated from sea-
son tn season; but often it happens
that a house-wren, male or female,
INDUCES in a violent Irritation, even
making a bluff at starting housekeep-
ing, and then making final choice OF
another mate. Divorces occur. A gen
tleman house-wren may marry, rear
a family and then leave his wife, go
ing off with another lady house-wren
and setting up an establishment with
her. Whereupon there is nothing for
the deserted female to do but get an
other husband.
