ness in the trial of United States

De Haven commenced today. For sew
ersI hours Judge Tanner was on the
witness stand and was subjected TO the
minute questioning Of the attorneys for
the defense. some important testimony
on behalf of Mitchell apparently being
elected

dence that Mitchell had warned Tanner
not to mix him in any matters before

ton of one payment of his half of the

Washington, and that Mitchell, while
away from Portland, never had
chance to know. of the items entering
into these payments except once, when
a copy Of the firms books were sent TO
Mitchell at Washington.
The method of handling the bank
books was gone over and the defense
attempted to show that the senator
had never. seen any of the kribs checks
and did not therefore know that he
was receiving money for work done for
Kribs. Tanner testified that he had
put all Of the money received ~ one
account and had drawn from this in
making the cash settlements at the end
OF each month.
Tanner testified THAI he had been
told that his son would be indicted for
perjury if he persisted in his testimony
before the grand jury. but that If he
would make a clean breast Of his trans
actions and would tell the truth. the
district attorney would recommend
him for pardon.

Mitchell Had Been ~.

Tanner said in reply to the questions
of the attorneys for the defense that
never to his knowledge did Mitchell
ever see a check from kribs 10 the firm
for services rendered. Tanner testified
that at the time of changing the Origi-
nal contract of 1897, which occurred in
1901. that Mitchell was deeply involved
in official business and that he was
shortly after taken with a severe i'll
ness. Tanner said further that he
knew personally of 10 services by
Mitchell before the departments at
Washington in regard TO the kribS

hundreds of other claimants without

CREAMERY TO OPEN
NEW BUILDING TO BE ERECT
t ED BY PENDLETON ICE CO.
Creamery Plant VIII Adjoin Cold
Storage Building on the South
Over 800 Cows Now In Sight
Creamery Will Be Ready for Busi-
ness April ALEX knight, Jr., to
Be Manager Here.

A contract was closed last evening
by which the Pendleton Ice & Cold
Storage company will erect a build
ing for the Pendleton Creamery, ad-
joining the cold storage building, on
the south.
The building will be 25x50 feet in
size and built especially for creamery
purposes, with inclined floor for per-
feet drainage, and will be connected
with the cold storage rooms. The
building will front on the railroad
side tracks. south of the cold storage,
and large and convenient platform
will be built in front for the accom-
mediation of cream cans, as they are
brought in by the teams from the
milk ranches and dairies.
The building will be ready for the
machinery in three or four weeks
and by April l, the creamery will be
open for business. The capacity of
the creamery will be expansive, the
machinery to be installed to be of
sufficient scope to handle any amount
of cream to be produced in this dis
trict.
Already about 800 COWS are prom
ised for the creamery this season,
which number, with the surplus
cream to come from the La Grande
creamery, owned by the PendletOn
creamery people, will be sufficient
to start the plant here. The price of
butter fat will be regulated altogether
by the prices of butter in the mar
kets here. and will be announced
later.
Alex Knight, Jr., who recently
came into Union county from Penn
sylvania, and who with o. E. Harper,
now owns the Union, La Grande and
Pendleton creameries, will have
charge of the plant here.

the train last night by 35 patriotic
countrymen who had just rendered
him farewell banquet at George
kawashiri's restaurant. At the fare
well meeting all the Japanese of the
city were present that could possibly
be there. Patriotic songs were sung
and Speeches made. all in the Ian
guage of the Mikado.
There was much Of human interest
to be noticed at the little meeting
last night held in George Kawashiri's
chop house, for they were gathered
in honor of patriotic soldier, one
who is entitled to respect, no matter
what may be his race or creed.
When the writer called early in the
evening he was received with greatest
courtesy and information was freely
given. From his countrymen It was
learned that Matsu-M Moto, who was
formerly porter at the Hotel Pendle-
ton, had just left st. Joseph's hospi-
tai after being i'll for five weeks with
typhoid fever. A week ago a cable
gram came from his parents in Ehi-
meken, Japan, saying that the gov
eminent had called for his services,
and asking him to come. At that
time he was too weak to travel and
now still shows signs OF his Illness.
and rely on recuperating his health
on the voyage.
Matsu-Mato is 23 years old and
he has spent three years in this coun-
try. He is a single man and has a
brother here and one in California.
He is not an enlisted man in the Jap
anese army, but is one of the reserve
and as such he has been called out.
Matsu-Mato looks the boy that he
is and at present will not weigh over
1876 pounds, but says he will fatten
quickly. He is not over five feet six
inches in height. When asked if he
was glad to go he answered yes
with a smile that was without guile,
and when he shook hands. with the
reporter in parting there was light
in his eyes similar to what the lat
ter has seen in the eyes of Second Or
egon volunteers when they had left
for Camp Mckinley. 1t spoke of
patriotism in a language that is world
wide.

Last evening the jury in the case
of George Ireland, the Freewater sa-
loonkeeper who has been on trial in
the circuit court here, was directed
to return a verdict of acquittal for
the defendant.
The case was a closely contested
one and the decision was based on
the view that the law for the Free
water subdivision was not legally
enacted. This mainly because the
petition for the vote from that place
was not recorded by the county clerk
before the election was ordered by
the county clerk. Judge Ellis held
that the recording as we'll as the fill
ing of the petition was essential be-
fore the court could call the election
Another point brought by the defense
was that the meeting of the county
court was called upon six days no
tice instead of 10.
In charging the jury Judge Ellis
expressed regret that in a case where
the wish of the people was an ele-
ment, the decision could not be fa-

held that the law had not been COM
piled with and accordingly directed
Charles wilkins to sign a verdict of
acquittal, as foreman of the jury.
Owing to the procedure that was
followed in the above trial, no appeal
can be taken by the prosecution. IN
der the conditions the only way the
case could be taken to the supreme
court was by a verdict of guilty being
returned, in which case the defense
could have appealed.
There are but two situations under
which an appeal could have been
made by the state, but in this case
they did not arise. One of these
would have been for the defense to
have moved a demurrer to the indict-
ment. which, if sustained by the
court, would be subject to appeal by
the state. The other contingency is
when verdict of guilty is returned
and a motion for an arrest of judg-
ment is sustained by the court. 1t is
regretted by many that the procedure
in the Ireland case was not such
that an appeal could be made by the
state, and the supreme court thus
made to pass upon the matter.

ing was also strengthened in the mind
of Sheriff Taylor by the cheerful de-
meanor of Hamilton after he had re-
ceived his sentence Of one year.
Yesterday an explanation came in
the shape of telegram to the sher-
iff from w. E. Kribs & Co. of Lewis
ton, saying that they held checks
drawn by Hamilton to the amount of
$40, each check being for $40. These
checks were drawn upon a Lewiston
bank, and were evidently passed in a
similar manner to which the checks
on the First National bank here were
cashed by Hamilton last Saturday
night.
