REMARKABLE
RIFLE SHOOTING
SAM JOHNSON SCORES A HUN
DRIED PER CENT IN TWO RAPID
FIRE TESTS.

Sam Johnson, captain of Company +,
yesterday and today made rihe-shoot-
ing scores in practice which would
have made him winner over the best
man who appeared in the last Ameri-
can National competition at Seagirr,
New Jersey. Johnson, with a lot of
other National guardsmen is practic-
ing daily for the prospective COMPETE
ton, in which Hawaii is to take part,
and if he and they do as well at Sea-
girt as they are doing here, Hawaii will
stand high.
In two rapid-fring tests yesterday
Johnson scored a hundred per cent The
rapid-firing proposition is five shots in
twenty seconds. In this experiment
with timed shots, Johnson yesterday
made fifty out of a possible fifty, at a
target 200 yards distant. Repeating the
test at 500 yards, five shots in twenty
seconds, Johnson made the same per-
feet score again. This wonder
greatly PLEASED the guardsmen present.
In the other tests, at the 800 yards,
Johnson made 46 out of possible 80,
at thousand yards he made As, at 200
yards AZ and at 600 yards 40. Taking
all the tests together there is a score
of 276 out of a possible 300,
"This score" said Colonel Jones, "is
nine per cent better than the score
made by the highest man at the last
competition at Seagirt."
The shooting is done at the Kahauilti
military reservation, where ranges
have been put up for practice. Sam
Johnson is a Russian by birth and ev-
cry time he makes a score someone Is

ton of Expense Bills.

days session of the Interstate commerce
hearing began.
Frank N. Hartwell, a member of a firm
controlling a large elevator. made a state
ment of shipping conditions In Louisville,
saying that the large shipments of grain
were handled promptly and that It was
unfair to single out Louisville and pro-
coed against the city on the strength Of
practices that obtain just as commonly in
St. Louis and other gateways.
Mr. Hartwell favored the divorcing of
the expense bills from the equalization of
rates,
At the afternoon session c. w. Bullitt
Of the Henderson Elevator company of
Henderson, KY, said that 1t is a common
practice among local shippers to buy ex-
pense bills in order to secure the advantage
of the cents shrinkage allowance.
George 8. Powell a grain dealer of st.
Louis, said lie had found IL hard to do
business In the southeastern territory
against the Louisville dealers.
Don't you often buy grain out of the
elevator in st. Louis and insist on an ex-
pense bill going with it?" asked Colonel
Stone of the Louisville a Nashville.
Yes, sir, regular customers are allowed
this privilege" replied Mr.. Powell
1T does not matter in whose name the
expense bill is made out. does it2'
Il think not"
"And II makes no difference for whose
grain that expense bill was issued?"

NO new TRIAL FOR MITCHELL
Court Rules Against Oregon Senator on
Every Point Raised
FIXING SENTENCE IS AGAIN POSTPONED
Judge DeHaven Allows Attorney a
Week to Prepare u Bill of Ex-
ceptlOn and Writ of
Error.

PORTLAND, Ore, July 15-The motion
for new trial of the case of United
States Senator John II. Mitchell was over
ruled by Judge DeIIaven in the United
States court this afternoon and the at
torneys FOR the defense asked for a week
in which to file bill of exceptions and a
writ OF error. Senator Mitchell was not
present in court. Judge DeHaven an
nounced that he had been too busy to
prepare written reply to the motion and
gave a verbal decision.
The motion for arrest of Judgment was
the first point takk up. Judge DeHaven
announced that hSbhad carefully consid-
cred the opinion OF the late Judge Bel
linger, and while he believed that the
court had jurisdiction to set aside the
opinion in relation TO the prea for abate-
ment, he did not feel justified in taking
such action and therefore overruled the
motion to arrest Judgment. judge De-
Haven held that he did not consider him
self in error in giving his instructions to
the jury nor in the admission of legal
testimony.
In regard to the sixth count in the in
dictment concerning which It was con-
coded by the government that no evidence
had been submitted to justify the Jury
in returning a verdict OF guilty, the court
referred to a precedent which sustained
the jury. AS to the claim OF the defense
that District Attorney Heneys explanation
that an indictment could have been re-
turned for subornation of perjury had
prejudiced Mltchell's case with the Jury
Judge DeHaven held that his instructions
to the jury TO take no cognizance of the
statement had been sufficient Motions for
q new trial were overruled on every point,
Apparently Judge DeHaven was on the
point of pronouncing sentence on the de-
PENDANT when ex-senator Thurston, for the
defense. requested time in which to pre-
pare a bill OF exceptions and writ of error
This, he assured the court. he would have
ready for submission to the district at
torney early next week.
