MITCHELL CASE
NEARS ITS END
Defense Rests Without Call
inc Aged Senator. Accused
. of Taking Bribe. to Stand
CROWD Is DISAPPOINTED
Attorney Heney Takes Two
Hours TO Present Govern
ment's Evidence TO Jury

PORTLAND. June 27.-United States
Senator Mitchell viii not pear testimony
for himself in his struggle for honor and
perhaps for liberty in the land fraud
cases. The long trial has practically come
70 a close. The courtroom was crowded
to-day when the session opened many
being drawn by the story that to-day the
aged Senator would take the stand, and,
by his own words, attempt 10 disprove
the testimony Of his former partner.
Judge A H Tanner, and Of his former
private secretary, Harry &. Robertson.
But all these were disappointed and sur
prised, for the case for the defense rested
within an hour after the court had been
called TO order.
Only one witness was examined by the
defense. he being J. A. Martin of Port
land, who testified that he had asked the
Senator TO secure the establishment Of
the harbor lines several years ago, in
order that a wharf might be constructed.
The Senator did as requested and refused
all compensation for his efforts. All Of
the evidence introduced by Senator Nit
chelrs attorneys has been in this line,
and though il was held TO be immaterial
by the court, ID was allowed by the
prosecution unun this morning, when At
torney Heney began TO grow restive, as
did the court, ana the defense quit and
rested its case.
Senator Thurston addressed the court
in argument as TO the instructions TO be
given the jury when the case was sent
TO them. He contended that the indict-
ment alleged that money had been paid
10 the Senator by Fred A KTibs and
argued that the proof showed that checks
had been given Tanner. who in turn sent
checks TO Mitchell, thus preventing any
knowledge on the part of the defendant
as to the source of his dividends paid
him by the firm.
District Attorney Heney maintained
that the indirect receipt of money was
all that was contemplated by the statute.
Attorney A. S. Bennett wanted Judge
de Haven TO instruct the jury that in case
il was shown that Mitchell received
money without knowing il was unlawfully
acquired, d later knowledge of this by
the defendant could not lay him open TO
the charge of crime.
Attorney Heney presented the case of
the prosecution to the jury in an argu-
ment extending over two hours. He said
ii was the duty of the jury to decide the
case on its merits and upon the evidence,
irrespective Of the age or position in life
of the defendant. disregarding the tears
OF grown men and the sophistry of
speeches maue and TO be made by the
attorneys for the defense.
Throughout the argument the speaker
made no attacks upon Senator Mitchell,
but followed the evidence as it had been
presented. He made no effort at declama-
ton. but his remarks were forceful and
clear and brought up in vivid array the
evidence gathered by the Government
ana upon which the prosecution bases its
hopes of conviction.
Judge Bennett and Senator Thurston
Will present the arguments for the de-
fenss tomorrow and 1t is expected that
the case will 80 TO the jury early in the
afternoon.

Gals ahead of the shipment last year and
the total deciduous fruit shipments from
the State this year will exceed those OF
last year by 1000 cars The shipment OF

Gus shipment this year will approximate

on the corresponding date last year. The
total number of cars shipped TO date this

CITY WITHOUT
POLICE COURT
So Claims Santa Cruz Sa-
loon Keeper Arrested for
Illegally Selling Liquor
RAISES NOVEL POINT
Obtains a Writ of Habeas
Corpus in Order to Test
Validity of Town Charter

SANTA CRUZ, June N.-The fight over
the annexation of East Santa Cruz to
this city, which was thought to have been
settled with the election last January,
has taken another turn. Michael Cuneo.
the East Santa Cruz saloon keeper, ar
rested by the city for selling liquor with
out city license, petitioned Judge
Smith for writ of habeas corpus on
the ground that Justice of the Peace
Craghill, before whom he will be tried,
being State Justice, has no Jurisdiction
in case involving violation of a city
ordinance. Judge Smith issued writ
and made it returnable on July II.
This brings up a question which has
been hanging fire in this city for years
and which has never until the present
time been brought to an issue. The city
charter does not provide for a city police
court and it Is claimed that the city of
Santa Cruz actually has no police court
and that violations of city ordinances
cannot therefore be legally prosecuted.

BANANAS GO TO WASTE

Two Thousand lunches Left Behind
Owing to Lack of Room.
ON Steamship.

HONOLULU, June 27-When the
steamship Enterprise sailed from Hilo
for San Francisco on her last trip she
left behind, for lack of space, nearly
1000 punches of bananas. These will
be almost a total loss to the shippers,
as there is no local market and no
steamship to transport them to the
coast Efforts were made to have the
surplus shipped via Honolulu on the
Alameda, but arrangements could not
be made. No blame attaches to the
Matson Navigation Company. as Agent
Guard, after canvassing the shippers,
reserved space only for 1000 punches.
but when the trainloads of fruit ar
rived the warehouse was deluged. The
loss falls principally on the Hilo Mer-
camille Company, Limited. and some of
the largest Japanese shippers.
1t has since been discovered that the
latter have been shipping understood
and unstable fruit, many of the
punches of bananas left behind being
overripe and others being found in a
partly decomposed condition. Some
punches OF good size, when stripped of
the wrappings, were found to contain
two and sometimes more small punches,
which have no marketable value.
