adjourned last evening it was possessed
of exactly the same amount of informa-
ton to aid it in the framing of county
act that it had before. There were sew

fund of general information gained nc
accretion.
The plank in the Home Rulers plat
form suggesting that the Federal gov
eminent take over the entire control of
the leper settlement on Molokai came
up for informal discussion, Chairman
Cooper making a strong argument
against such an arrangement on the
ground that the place under Federal
control would be made a general laza-
retto for all the United States.
John U. Smith of Hilo wrote giving it
as his opinion that it was doubtful
whether under the Organic Act a coun-
ty board of supervisors could be elected
by the voters. lie believes that the act
should provide for county control of
education, health, roads, wharves and
bridges. The expense of the circuit

did not think that the county act should
be submitted to congress for ratifca-

of the county system on the right Of the
governor to appoint all boards.
T. J. Ryan Of Mountain View, Hawaii,
wrote Directing to the suggestion of
making Hawaii into only one county.
He wished to point out that the Hilo
Board Of Trade did not represent the

Washington, Feb. 29.-"Guilty as in.

trial shortly after 8 o'clock last night,

and Samuel a. and Diller b.. Croft of

Next to Samuel A. Croft the most
| surprised man was Machen, who said
he was thunderstruck at the verdict.
The four defendants will appear be-
fore Justice Pritchard to receive their
sentence, which action is necessary
upon which to base a motion for a new
trial and an appeal.
The district attorney INC the officials
of his office, as we'll as Postofflce In

Bail was furnished for each of the
four convicted men, the sureties being
the same as on the bonds for the
amounts fixed prior to conviction, and
the defendants were released from GUS
tody.
Justice Pritchard in his charge, aft
er defining a reasonable doubt and
quoting from the statutes bearing on
conspiracy, said that conspiracy rare
~, if ever, is proven by direct testi-
mony. The evidence in proof OF con-
spiracy may be, he said, and from the
nature of the case generally must be,
Circumstantial. He instructed the jury
that if they were satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that Machen and the
other defendants, or any two or more
Of them, cOnspired to sell the fasteners
to the government at a price in eX-
cess of that at which they otherwise
would have sold same, n divided the
proceeds among themselves, they were

But" he added, before you can
return a verdict Of guilty you must
| find that at least two of the defendants
are guilty of conspiracy as charged in
the Indictment. You cannot find one
| defendant guilty and return a verdict
of not guilty as to all the others"
He urged the jury not to be infu-
enced by prejudice or moved by SYM
lathy.

ments. 1.-THE function Che said which
you have just been assisting in con-
nection with a kindred association has
doubtless shown you the Importance
of the provision trade of Liverpool in
its relationship with the Dominion and
the enormous possibilities Of the future
development of that trade. Well, the
grain trade Of Liverpool has interests
with Canada no less important than
those of the provision trade. When it
is borne in mind that so per cent of
the breadstuffs of this great country
has to be brought from abroad, you
will readily appreciate with what great
satisfaction we view the large and
steadily increasing supplies Of grain
which are annually available for eX-
port from Canada, and l challenge con

wheats we import from Russia, India,

Of the United States, none gives more
general satisfaction, none is more gen.
orally appreciated, than that raised in
the Province Of Manitoba. We can
not get enough of it, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that there are be-
fore us dozens of millers who hunger
for it. This is not the time to enter
into statistical questions, but we look
forward with confidence to the time
at which, with the present rate of
progress, the Dominion of Canada will
have a sufficient surplus of wheat 10
render this country independent of
other sources Of supply. think |
may, with justifable pride, remind you
that this is the chief grain market Of
the British Empire, and through it's
excellent geographical position, as well
as through the enterprise of its millers,
it is now the second milling center in
the world"
