GOVERNMENT CLOSES CASE.
Defense in Land Fraud Trials VIII
Not Take Much Time.

Portland, July IS. - After Special
Agent Horace T. Jones had been placed
on the stand and identified map con-
tanning the location OF the claims al
eyed to have been obtained BY Will
Hanson and Gesner, q map that was
introduced so that it can be used for
argument, the government rested it's
case against Representative William
son, DR.. Van Gesner and Marion r.
Biggs. This morning the three defend
ants will have their inning.
1t is understood that the defense will
not place many witnesses on the stand.
Judge Bennett stated Tuesday that
there would not be over half q dozen,
and while the counsel for the defense
has not said that the defendants will
take the stand in their own behalf, it
is expected that they will. Judge
Bennett informed Judge De Haven Just
before adjournment yesterday afternoon
that he had some motions to make,
and that he would present them this
morning. Perhaps one of these mo-
tions will be for dismissal of the
charges. Evidently, District Attorney
Heney is anticipating such move on
the part of the defense, and he will un-
doubtedly have list of authorities on
hand ia case such move is made by
counsel for the defense.

- MR FoRaEr.

Colonel Thomas Benton Murdoch, OF
boss buster fame, made the observation
in the FL Dorado Republican a few
days ago that the same old political
gang went over to the Blossom House
in Kansas City last week to hold the
regular weekly pow-wow.'
This leads the EmDoria Gazette, in
an I-told-you-so editorial, to call at
tention to the fact that when the boss
buster movement first began moving
the Gazette maintained that instead of
reforming the world, the flesh, and the
other gentleman, the boss busters
would merely change executive Of
fcers.
was this demands the Gazette,
what we all 1T. bled and died for =?
Was this what we met in solemn con-
clave and drew up our second dec1ara-
ton OF Independence for? Is this why
we drafted the Good, the True, and
the more or less Beautifu1-to run for
governor? Same old Blossom House
gang! Same old conferences same
old high balls; same old whispering!
Was not the boss buster movement
pledged to hang Cy Leland to a scat
fold forty cubits high? Was not the
red-headed statesman OF the Waka-
rusa under bond to make Mort Al
baugh hunt cover? Was not our
martyred state printer going to make
a grease spot of Henry Allen, and take
him out of state politics with Sapolio %
The Gazette is plainly asking too
many questions. OF course if it is
only asking for information we will
refer the matter to the information
bureau and give an answer just as soon
as the editor of the Gazette encIoses a
stamp for reply, but if the questions
are only for the purpose of embarrass-
ing the boss busters. they will be
treated with proper scorn.
But the Gazette's attention ought to
be called to certain reforms that have
been accomplished. Was not Henry
Allen Dried loose from his Job. with
the combined weight of the red
headed statesman from Wakarusa,
and your Uncle Cyrus bearing down
on the lever? Was not Mort Al
baugh made to jump out of the bank
commissioner office? To be sure he
jumped into another job which he
may hold for life and which paws him
more money but he was Jared loose
from the bank commissionership.
And was not the state treasury saved
to Tom Kelly for at least another
year?
These are matters which the editor
of the Gazette ought not to overlook.
So let the bosses boss and the Blossom
House blosson-it only gives the boss
busters work for the future. other
wise they would have to go out of
business.

sAFETY IN RAII.WAY rRAr1rr.

1t is announced that the twentieth
Century Limited" running over the
New York Central and Lake Shore
roads from New York to Chicago will
hereafter have a schedule of $50 miles
in nineteen hours an average of So
miles an hour for the entire distance.
This is the fastest schedule ever
made for so long a distance. An ex-
press between Paris and Bayonne
makes hfty-four miles an hour, but
the distance is only half as great. The
Empire State express between New
York and Buffalo makes over fifty
three miles an hour, but only for 44O
miles. Two British trains make fifty
and hfty-one miles an hour, but they
run only about 400 miles.
These schedules indicate that the
speed of railway trains is constantly
increasing, and many people may
think that the dangers of railway
travel are CORRESPONDENCE increasing.
But not so. New safety inventions are
keeping pace with our speed. The re-
cent railway congress has just had a
practical illustration of&an invention
by George Westinghouse which is de-
signed to do away with the dangers of
/
steel car which takes up the shock of
a collision.
In the test before the railway con-
gress fifty of these cars were divided
into three sections and two of them
were left on a track about $50 feet
apart. The third section, with a loco
motive attached, was taken two miles
down the track. The engineer started
the train towards the other two sec
tons, pulled the throttle wide open,
and jumped. The train attained a
speed of forty miles an hour before
1 it struck the first section. OF course
the onlookers expected a complete
wreck. Instead there was a succession
of Jars and quivers, the middle section
bumped into the third, and finally tbs
entire train came to a standstiH un-
injured.
We are travelling pretty fast these
days. but the inventor seems to bs
keeping up.
