LAST DAY OF TRIAL.
Charge of the Court Was Considered
Impartial.


Portland. July 3.-District Attorney
Heney occupied all the morning ses-
sion with his closing argument for the
prosecution in the Mitchell trial and
part of the afternoon. He reviewed
the payments Of money to Senator
mitchell by Judge Tanner and showed
now the senator must have known the
sources, particularly the payment of
the October earnings on Nov ?. 1903.
which was larger than usual and com
ing as il did Immediately after letters
from Tanner saying that the firm had
been retained by Benson TO expedite
certain claims for him and after a
talk Mitchell had had personally
with Kribs Cwhen Mitchell it is sup
posed, told Kr!bs to talk with Tanner
in regard to the feesD that he could
not speak on that subject with him.
Compared With Lord Bacon.
Heney compared the case of Lord
Bacon with that of Senator Mitchell and
said that. although the services of Ba-
con to his country were a thousand
fold more important than what Mitch
ell had done for Oregon. and although
Bacon repentantIy confessed his fault,
sentence was imposed upon him by the
house OF lords
u Heney took occasion to say that
MitchelTs services for Oregon were not
so important as had been represented
and Sarcastically referred to the high
minded and moral senator" He re
terred to the gravity of the offense and
denied that there was no moral turpi-
tude involved in it, saying it amounted
in Senator Mitchell's case to taking
money from both clients and was prac-
tically bribery.
Judge De HaVen's Charge.
Mr.. Heney concluded his argument
at 2:35 O'Clock this afternoon, and Judge
De Haven Immediately delivered the
instructions 10 the jury. The charge
was a Very satisfactory one both to
the prosecution and to the defense It
was fair and gave by its terms an
advantage to neither side. The judge
stated i'm opening his remarks that il
was now his duty to instruct the jury
on the law of the case and that il was
the duty of the jury to convict the
defendant if there was no reasonable
doubt in it's mind as to the guilt of
the defendant. Otherwise the verdict
should be for acquittaI
The gist of the statute under which
the Indictment was brought. the court
held. was the receiving of money nv
the defendant for services rendered
The mere rendering of services was
not sufficient TO indict. for it was not
unlawful. but if he had knowledge
at the time he received the checks from
Tanner that they were in part made
up of the money paid by Kribs. and
if he had done the work before the
department expecting conversation.
then he was guilty under the indict-
ment- This fact was for the Jury to
decide.
The judge cautioned the jury against
placing too much credence in circum-
stantial and collateral evidence.
though at the same time telling them
that such evidence should be given all
the weight deemed worthy by the iurv.
The fact that the defendant had not
testified was not TO be taken against
MN, Tor 1t was his privilege, not his
duty. to testify. The case went to the
jury at 3:O3 o'clock

n UANAJUATO Mexico July alive
Il hundred persons have persisted and
property valued at 81, 500 eco has been
destroyed as result of a flood which has
swept over the town, following a cloud
burst. Two hundred bodies have been re-
covered.
Guanajuato, owing TO its situation in a
great ravinc or gorge has been subjected
to floods sweeping down from the noun
tains. and much loss of life has been re-
corded. but the present storm. which be-
gan Friday night and continued through
Saturday, was unprecedented in violence
BY 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon clouds
banked up black and threatening in the
northeast, and within less than twenty
minutes rain came down in torrents and
the water surged down the streets with
great violence Part of the river which
built over with masonry, burst
through, augmenting the flood and the
scene became one of terror and consterna-
ton.
Wild Panic in the Town.
The people made haste to gather their
valuables and flee and many did so at
the risk of their lives. for the streets in
the lower part of the city were filled
with rushing waters. and the roar of wind
and rain added TO the general panic
With one rush the mighty flood burst its
bonds. foundations Of solidIy built ma
many buildings fell with crash. Their
inmates in many cases were crushed be-
meath the falling masonry
From the center of the city the flood
rolled to both sides of the town and the
people madly rushed out to flee to the
mountains.
Flood Rushed Down.
The second floor of the Hotel Union is
under five feet of water, many being
caught and swept away. At the time
when the storm seemed likely to abate
and before its greatest intensity was felt
there was crowd of merrymakerS in the
plaza. Gaming operators had scarcely
time to set 10 their tables and place
their money thereon when the flood
rushed down from the hills sweeping
away booths, money and tables. Many
people We're then and there drowned
Each man fought his wa out of the
flood trampling down whoever came in
his way. and thus many women and chill
dren persisted A large numbe,. of people
had sought refuge in the church of San
Diego, but were crushed to death under
Its falling walls.

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT.
Pennsylvania Roadbed Widened Be-
tween This City and Baltimore.

The widening of the roadbed of the Penn
sylvania railroad between this city and
Baltimore. which was commenced some
time ago. is going on rapidly in the vicinity
of Bowie, Md. A large force of workmen
is engaged In cutting down embankments
and enlarging several deep cuts, with the
ultimate purpose of giving space for a full
four-track system between Washington
and the monumental city. The immediate
plan Is to lay new doubie-track sidIngs
wherever the roadbed is wIdened, and these
will be connected in the future.
The increasing of the number of tracks
into this city will add greatly to the facili-
ties of this road for the handling both of
freight and passenger traffic 1t Is antici-
pated that the extra sidings and later the
complete four tracks will be of special
use In times when big crowds come to the
national capital, such as Inauguration days
Most of the digging is being done along
side of the westbound track Large steam
machines are being operated to cut down
the embankments and temporary tracks
