and warning it that if the defendants had even combined to threaten they were guilty.
 Tt is not for the court to say which witnesses you shall believer or which you shall discredit. Even small points must be noted The states does not claim to have proved by 8 document that the defendants had conspired to- gether. but it does claim to have prov ed that a conspiracy existed by show ing the withdrawing of horses from the stables of some of the liverymen and in other ways. Ashton, the secretary, over his own signature, called upon owners to take their horses from unfair sta- bles.''
 Going further, the charge mentioned each man by name, giving his connec- ton with the alleged conspiracy. Turn | ing then to the views of the defense, Judge Shumway explained these with equal clearness and with fully as much emphasis as that laid on the claims of the state. Then, with an expression of | confidence in the jury. Judge Shumway closed his charge at eleven minutes be- | fore Il o'clock.

which amounted to almost three hum dred dollars. The car arrived from the north, having reached its destination by way of the Canadian Pacific railway and it's southern connections. Accom- panying it was Jap.
 Besides being unique as shipment the manner of getting it here is inter- esting. As an uncleared consignment of importation the oranges came in a bonded car under government seal. But the routing through the northwest made it necessary to have a man in attend ance to see that the car was kept prop erly heated. To accomplish this with out infringing on the importation laws a burglar proof cage was constructed in one corner of the car for the occupancy of man. It was in this little pen that the little Jap made the long journey.
 Oranges from Japan constitute an en- tirely new commodity Of commerce so Tar as Kansas City receipts arc con- cerned. The shipment just received is the first of the kind to arrive since the town became a port of entry. It is thought that the oranges have been brought here for the purpose of experi- ment, just as a few years ago carload of wheat from Odessa, Russia, came in and was distributed among prominent Kansas farmers for seed. The speci-
 nens of oranges are, however, of inferi- or appearance. being not much larger than lime. The expense of importing them is so great as to preclude the pos- sibility of establishing an American market for Japanese oranges. It is probable hat the entire carload has been brought here for free distribution by the Japanese government.-Kan Civ World

Montagno, John Brown and Charles Bronson. Of these Murray, Sullivan, Freeman and Sheridan are at present in jail the first two for assault on a man named Kinney during the strike; Free man for pulling a man from wagon, and Sheridan awaiting trial on the con- spn acy charge.
 The roll-call of the jury being com pleted, Judge Shumway arose, and at 10:30 began his charge, the jury remain- ing seated.
 T will first state to you, gentlemen, a principle of law that is applicable in all cases-the law presumes every man innocent of crime, and the burden of proof is cast upon the state The &C., cused persons on trial should be given the benefit of reasonable doubt" With this brief introduction Judge Shumway opened, then explaining in negative manner the definition of reasonable doubt The positive definition. said he, is found in the phrase itself.
 ".The accused persons in this case are informed against by the state att torney, the information containing six counts. In the first three counts the members of the Teamsters' union are accused of conspiracy; in the last three the members of the Hack Driv- CTS union," explained the charge. Great care was exercised by the court in making all points clear, so that the jury would labor under no misappre- hension.
 Five unlawful acts are charged. If any two of the accused are found to have combined to commit any one of these unlawful acts they must be found guilty" continued the court, then going on to define criminal conspiracy" in an exhaustive manner.
 The offense charged is a criminal conspiracy, in this state at least, but whether the accused are guilty or not is for you to decide. The motive al- leged is a selfish one, and the acts, if committed, were maliciously cor rupt."
 The right of labor organized or un- organized, to strike for better conditions was sustained by the court, if no in- fraction of the law were permitted, but threats and intimidation were con demned. Both of these words were also defined. It may be so it is lawful to strike, but if the object of that strike is to ruin persons business it is not lawful. It may be and is lawful for la- Dor unions to give their patronage to, or withdraw it from, a firm or person, but when this is done to ruin q per sons business it is unlawful, and when number of men so combine it is q criminal conspiracy.
 Having thus disposed of the more legal phases of the case, Judge Shum- way went into the alleged threats and intimidation. leaving to the jury to de- eide whether or not these were true,

ADGIE AND LIONS COMING.

Madame Adgie and her den of lions will be the big act for the Poli bill next
 week. She enters the den of lions and
 makes them perform. She dances and sings and In fact finds the Kings of Ithe Desert in full view of the audience. Her lions den contains three of the
 most ferocious and they have been tanned by this woman to become quite dociia.
 Adgie's act is very beautiful one
 and very fascinating. In fact the press
 and public have been loud in their praise of the manner iii which it is pre- scented.
 Surrounding the big feature will be
 another big array of the talent which
 will include Lew Bloom and Jane Coop CT in "A Picture of Life" Fields and Ward with their comedian stunts, MT. land Mrs. Harry Thorne with the sketch, "An Uptown Flat" which will include the two artists, Harry Clarke and Mat | tie Temple, Russell and Locke in a song and dance.

Jury Have Littls Trouble in Arriving
 nta verdlct--stay of Execution Grant-
 cd for One Week Are Gosng to Appeal
 After an hours deliberation the jury in the case of the nine teamsters on trial in the superior court for alleged conspiracy brought in a verdict of guil- ty against each and all of the defend- ants just as the clock struck noon yes- terday.
 For a moment the men and their friends gazed at each other aghast. Counsel for the defense were visibly disappointed, while the state attorney gave no evidence of particular satis- faction. In the gallery all was silence, and not murlnur was heard in the court room.
 A couple of minutes before noon word came that an agreement had been reached and Judge Shumway and coun- sel hastened to the room.
 i've find each of the defendants guilty, as charged" spoke Foreman Charles SpaIding, softly, and the case was practically over.
 The convicted men are President Will liam H. Talmadge. of Teamsters' union No. $40; Secretary Peter Flynn, of the same union; State Organizer Orrin s. Stockford, of Hartford; Percy c. Cor nelius, John Mitchell, Theodore Beck, Philip Daly, Thomas Connors and Rich ard Ashton.
 The trial occupied twelve full court days, and the case was given to the jury at 1O:55 o'clock yesterday morning, Judge Shumway having concluded his charge at that hour, The delivery of the charge occupied forty-six minutes. To close followers of the address it ap- peared to be rather unfavorable to the defense.
 Eager to witness the climax of the trial a large throng of spectators gath cred at the court house as early as 3 0 clock. and within five minutes after the doors had been opened every seat in the gallery was taken, while the main floor was filled with lawyers and friends of the accused. In the latter were over half a dozen women, among whom were Mrs. Percy Cornelius, Mrs. Beck and Mrs. Connors, wives of three of tn emen on trial.
 The other twelve men under the same indictment are Addison H. Stebbins, Daniel Gallagher, Harry Cohen, Pat rick Murray, James Sheridan, Freder- ick Freeman, Thomas Sullivan, George Whitmore, Charles Brooks, Alfonso

 follow in close order, and it can be truly said that the play is without a dull moment. Tn the character of

 sThe White Slave smacks of the soil. It is native to the core. The lights and shadows of slavery in the sunny south before the outbreak of the
 civil war are depicted.
 The critic of the Detroit Journal wrote of Bartley Campbell's "The White Slave; 'sThe White Slave stalks along with all it's old time dig Unity, a dignity that will never die as long as the memory of Bartley Camp bell lives in the hearts of the lovers Iof intelligent melodrama. Compare it with the plays that are offered to the public now-written in few days, and turned out by everyone who can hold a pen, or shape a letter. and it stands out in bold relief like Hamlet's star, set in the blackest night Strong and we'll conceived is tn story, and through it all there flash those bright touches which Campbell used so lavishly in all
 his plays. Little sentiments that are poems in themselves-thos sentiments
