Meanwhile the range between $1.04k

the preponderance of trading swayed
it either way.
Chicago prices lost heavily on early
selling and May was off over SC from

effort to hold the market, but
the opening tendency was downward,

Two Departments. "a

that ''it would be setting a. bad precedent
which must be avoided as dangerous
the departments of the interior and agri-
culture, thru their respective secretaries.
have set the government against what was
believed to be salutary movement for the
creation of forest reserves.
The plan was inaugurated thru the me-
diu1n of bills introduced by Senator Nell
son, authorizing the setting apart of GER
tain tracts ct the public domain In Min
nesota for forest reserve and park pur-
poses.
1t was supposed that SO laudable an en-
terprIse would have the support and en-
coulagement Of the heads of the depart
mcnts having charge of the. public lands
and the forest reserves Of the country. The
senate promptly passed one Of the bills
a few dys ago, and it is now pending in
the house.
The only explanation for the action Of
tho departments is that it is presumed the
forestry bureaus desire to have entire
charge Of the question and want no re-
serves set apart except as they recon-
mend.

POSTAL CASES IN
JURYMEN'S HANDS
Justice Pritchard Delivers Charge
and Strongly Warns Against
Public Sentiment. i,
Jury Told That All or None Must
Be Convicted Before They
Retire. AZ

Washington, Feb. 26.-Immediately
after criminal court convened to-day,
Justice Pritchard charged the jury in
the postal case. He set out the va
rious counts in the indictment and
said the defendants are presumed to
be innocent, and that that presump-
ton amounts to evidence introduced
in their behalf and remains with them
until the jury is satisfied by evidence
that convinces them beyond a reason
able doubt as to the defendants guilt.
He said:
''If after an impartial considera-
ton Of all the evidence, you can can
didly say that you are not satisfied
with the defendants guilt. you have
reasonable doubt; but IT, you can
truthfully say that you have an abid-g
ing conviction of the defendants guilt,
it will be your duty to return a. verdict
Of guilty"
He said that such an Offense rarely,
if ever, is proven by direct testimony.
Evidence in proof of conspiracy gem
orally must be circumstantial.
Scrltinize Testimony.
'The defendants have gone on the
witness stand and testified in their
own behalf. You ought to. scrutinize
their testimony in view of the fact
that they are interested in the out
come of this trial.
IT do rot wish to be understood as
| saying that you should not believe
the testimony Of the defendants be-
cause of the fact that they are inter-
ested; and if you are of the opinion
that they have told the truth about
the transaction, it is as much your
duty to give credit to what they may
have stated as it is to believe any
other witnesses who may have testl-
fed during the progress of this trial.
But" he added, before you can
return a verdict Of guilty, you must
| find that at least two of the defend
ants are guilty of the conspiracy as,
charged in the Indictment; that is to
say, you cannot find one defendant
guilty and return a. verdict OF not
guilty as to all the others"
=, Warns Against Prejudice.
He urged the jury not to be influ-
enced by prejudice or be moved by
sympathy 1.-The case,' he continued,
SHOULD be tried on its merits and
without regard to what effect the YER
dict would have on the public mind.
Justice Pritchard concluded his
charge at II O'Clock, and the jury at
once retired.
After being out forty minutes the
Jury sent for the account. book of
| George E. Lorenz, the note for $25 900
and drafts, checks, warrants and
statements, of each of the defendants

FACTS ABOUT THE BURNED DISTRICT.

The Rochester, N. Y, colony at the
store Of the Minneapolis Dry Goods
company followed the reports Of the
flower city fire with eagerness to-day
Arthur M. Lindsay, Jr., son Of A. M.
Lindsay Of the firm Of Sibley, Lindsay
& Curr has been in Minneapolis for
several days, but will return to Riches
Ter tonight. william Baxter of the
Rochester store arrived in Minneapolis
yesterday with a line Of samples for
the northwest trade, but as the goods
nent of the store, he, too, will return
to the eastern city tonight.
| While the Minneapolis Dry Goods
company and Sibley, Lindsay & Curr
are separate corporations the stock
of both is held largely by the same
capitalists. Many Of the heads of de-
partments of the local store came here
from Rochester.
Granite Was "Ffreproof."
Surprise is expressed over the man.
ner in which the Granite building fed
the flames. 1t Is a comparatively new
building, twelve stories In height and
the only wood in it's construction IS
used in the windows and doors. The
floors are of tile and no wood was used
in them The retail department OF
Sibley, Lindsay & Curr occupied the
first four floors of the building. The
next seven were given up to offices OF
lawyers, physicians and surgeons,
while the Vacuum Oil company,
branch of the Standard Oil company,
occupied the entire top floor. The
building, as we'll as the Cox building
IN the rear, Is owned by the firm. The
Granite building alone cost $1,000
900 and was supposed to be fireproof.
. All wainscoating was of marble and
and there appeared to be nothing in
the building upon which the flames
could feed. -.
The fire is eating it's way thru the
heart Of the business section 81 of
Rochester the territory bounded by
Main street east, st. Paul street and
Clinton avenue north. 1t has. from
press reports, destroyed the stores Of

DEADLY GERMS

Water Taken from Southeast
Schools Contains the Bacilli
Of Typhoid.

Colon bacilli have been found by
DR.. J. Frank Corbett in city water
taken at the Sidney Pratt school in
Prospect Park, the futile school at
Fourteenth and Tallmadge avenue
Sc: the Webster school, Monroe street
and Summer street NE, and at the
Sheridan school, Broadway and Uni
versity avenue NE.
These tests prove that the water on
the East Side was contaminated over
much larger area than was sus-
pected by the waterworks authorities
and also shows that in spite of flush
ing Of the mains it takes some time
absolutely to clean out the bad water.

LITIGATION CAUSES DELAY,
Canal Company Must Prove Title Be.
fore Receiving Money.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, Feb. 26.-The Omitted
States willtnot pay the .$40,000,OO due
the new Panama canal company until
all litigation against the corporation
is ended Government officials con-
slider the suits constitute a lien
against the canal property and will
not accept transfer until clear
title can be given.
The complications are annoying, but
it is believed all obstacles to the sale
will soon be removed. There must
necessarily be considerable delay ana
the United States may not come into
actual possession Of the canal prop
erty for several weeks.
Two suits brought by the govern
ment Of Colombia against the new
Panama canal company are pending
in Paris. One is for an injunction re-
straining the company from selling, on
the ground that Colombia, as a stock
holder, has not been consulted. The
other is to recover shares In the COM
pany, Colombia claiming ownership.
it is believed here that both suits will
be dismissed.
