BERLIN FIGHTS A CORPORATION German Capital Intends to Construct and Own Five Suburban Railways ———e Epecial Dispatch to The Call. BERLIN, Dec. 3.—Berlin has been suddenly plunged into a fight which promises a long and bitter struggle between the municipality and the powerful Grosse Berliner Street Rail- way Company, now in possession of streets under a twenty-year franchise expiring in 1919. The conflict was precipitated by the determination of the city to build five suburban lines to compete with the best lines of the street railway corporation. The di- rectors of the Grosse Berliner Com- pany believe its arrangement with the city prohxhug municipal competition during the life of the franchise. They have called a special meeting for next Wednesday to discuss legal steps to obstruct the city’s plans. This situation is aggravated by the city’s Intentlon to construct a tunnel under the famous avenue Unter den Linden for the purpose of connecting two municipal lines, and also of com- pelling the Grosse Berliner Company | to use tunnels for its two tracks, which now cross the surface of Unter den Linden. The city’s project has the warm support of the Kaiser, and the contest is certain to be a battle royal. The Grosse Berliner Company com- mands resources amounting to 125,000,- 000 marks ($25,250,000) while the city can secure unlimited financial backing at low rates of interest for carrying out its municipal ownership schemes. | The recent action of the Grosse Berliner | Company in raising its commutation rates 2 per cent is one reason why the city authorities are so incensed. The two existing city lines barely\pay operating expenses, owing to the lack of a connecting link, as well as on ac- count of the superior service of the street rallway corporation in same dis- tricts. _——— Some men are better satisfled with fallure than others are with success.

Mr. Deane was born in this city 43 vears ago and led an active life. was educated in the public schools and became engaged in politics at an early age. He was known and recog- nized as a leader and a man of ability in the political world. It was not long before his hard and earnest labors were duly rewarded and he rapidly rose from a humble position to places of trust and honor. Mr. Deane served two terms as chief deputy county clerk under Charles Curry and was then twice elected to that office after Curry had been chosen Secretary of State. He proved a trustworthy official and was very popular with his fellow employes at the City Hall. Since that time he occupiled several important positions and up to the time of his detath was superintendent of the United States Indian warehouse at 23 Washington street. Mr. Deane was prominent in frater- nal orders, being a member of Stan- ford Parlor, Native Sons of the Gold- en West; of the Woodmen of the ‘World and of the Red Men. He is sur- vived by his mother, Mrs. Margaret Deane; a wife, a son 12 years old, two sisters, Miss Mary Deane and Mrs. M. H. de Young, and a brother, John J. Deane. The funeral will take place on Tuesday from St. Mary’'s Ca- thedral, where a requiem high mass will be celebrated at 10 o’clock. The interment will be made at Holy Cross Cemetery and will be private. ————— ANNUAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE ACTORS' FUND Leading Theatrical Stars of City to Be Seen at the Orpheum Next Friday. .

Address Call Office for Particulars WOLGANOT (ONPESSES TN One of the Accused in the Oregon Land Fraud Cases| Causes a Sensation by Entering a Plea of Guilty JUDGE TO CHARGE JURY ON MONDAY Special Prosecutor Requests | Court to Dismiss Marie] Ware, as Evidence Against | Her Is Not Conclusive e LA R ! PORTLAND, Deec. 3.—Prolific in sur- prises and sensations as have been the developments in the land fraud cases, jnone was prepared for the climaxes of to-day. By far the most important,: both because of its unexpectedness and | because of the moral effect it is almost certain to have on the jury, was the re- quest of Defendant Frank H. Wolga- mot, through his attorney, for leave to withdraw his plea of “not guilty” and | be allowed to plead guilty to the crime of conspiracy as charged. Judge Bel- linger took the matter under advise- ment. Almost equally unexpected was the request on the part of the special pros- ecutor, Francis J. Heney, that an order of acquittal be made in the case of Marie L. Ware, on the ground that the prosecution did not’ believe that she, according to the evidence, had been proven guilty of aiding the present con- spiracy. Of hardly less surprise was the an- nouncement made by the defense not more than twenty minutes after the Government had completed its case, that it rested and that the case was ready for argument by counsel. WOLGAMOT PLEADS GUILTY. It was when court convened in the afternoon that the second great sur-| prise of the day occurred. The first| was sprung at the morning session, | when the defense rested and brought the trial to so sudden a close. Claude Strahan, a new attorney in the case, arose and stated: “I appear for Frank H. Wolgamot, and wish to withdraw his plea of not guilty and substitute that of guilty.” “Mr. Wolgamot,” asked the court, “do you so desire?” “I do,” he said. “What is your plea?"” asked the court. “Guilty.” Attorney Heney then caused the last sensation of the day. “Your Honor,” he said, “I have long followed the rule in prosecuting cases to not ask a jury to return a verdict in a case where I could not myself go into the jury-room and vote for con- viction. In this case I do not think that the Government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Marie Ware is connected with this particular conspir- acy within the life of the statute of limitations. There is no doubt in my mind that she forged the name of Mattie S. Lowell, but there is no evi- dence to show that she did it with the, purpose of furthering this particular conspiracy. I would therefore ask that an order of acquittal be made by the court in her case.” MAKES STRONG ARGUMENT. Judge Bellinger stated that such would be the action at the proper time, and that the confession of Wolgamot would also be ordered to not be taken by the jury as going to the prejudice of the other defendants in the case. Attorney Hall then made his state- ment to the jury. It was a simple recitation of the evidence as given from the commencement of the conspiracy, when Emma Porter first filed her ap- plication, until the last patent was is- sued and the lands transmuted into money. The argument was strong, clear and concise. ‘When Hall concluded court adjourned until Monday, when Judge O’'Day will present the argument for the defense, after which Attorney Heney will speak for the prosecution. It is thought that the case will go to the jury on Monday. ————— Lots of people chew the rag be- cause they can’t do as they choose. —_— ADVERTISEMENTS. FOR TWENTY YEARS. i Not an Unusual Instance. “I used Pyramid Pile Cure and have not had any trouble since. I have been a sufferer with piles for twenty years. I think it is the best remedy on earth for piles. Hoping this may help others to use this remedy.” Mrs. J. D. Teller, R. F. D. 20, Sparta, Mich. It is a singular fact that although many women suffer from piles, or hemorrhoids, they frequently do not have proper treatment because of a delicacy women have In men(loning| such a subject.

AUBURN, Dec. 3.—The Grand Jury adjourned at noon to-day until next Monday morning without having fin- | ished its investigation into the mur- der and robbery charges pending against Adolph Weber. Weber’s only visitor to-day was for- mer Constable Henry Leak. Several women applied for admission to visit Weber, but were refused. Leak is the man who shot at some one in the dark out in the hills after the bank robbery. He heard a movement in the brush and soon the form of a man appeared. Leak shouted for him to alt,”” and when the fellow ran Leak shot, knocking off the fugitive's hat. The next morning the robber’'s pistol was found near the scene of the shoot- ing by Ralph McKinstry, a boy. Leak could not identify Weber as the man he had shot at. The prisoner will be called upon Monday to plead to the charge of having killed his mother. He will en- ter a plea of not guilty and the case will be set for trial. Searchers are still looking for Weber’s second hiding place for his money. There is $825 missing from the proceeds of the bank robbery and it is not believed that Weber spent it. He is like his father was—very thrifty. He does not drink nor smoke and was not a spendthrift. E. C. Snowden, husband of Mrs. Snowden, Weber's aunt, was out to- day for the first time since the tragedy. Snowden is an old man and has been greatly upset by the mur- ders. —_—— PERSONAL.

Uri:sol cures rheumatism in the only possible way it can be cured. - Uric Acid and Urates are the cause of Rheumstism. These are deposited in the tissues, blood vessels and joints of the body. These deposits must be dissolved and eliminated from the system be- fore a cure can be accomplished. Uricsol is a solvent of these and tones up the system, stimulates the kidneys, liver .nd bowel: and thus drives them from the system. Uricsol is harmless, and no injuri- ous results can possibly come to any part of your body. ” Write us to-day for booklet cone taining recommended diet for rhew~ matics. URICSOL CHEMICAL CO.
