Jury Returns Verdict Against U. S.
Senator From Oregon.

Senator From Oregon.
Portland, Ore, July 5.-Amidst a
din and clatter of fireworks, exploded
in honor of the natal day of the coun-
try he had served as United States
senator during % years of his life,
John H. Mitchell listened to the words
pronouncing him guilty of having vio-
lated that law which precluded him as
a United States senator from accept.
ing pay for practicing before the de
partments OF the federal government.
AS the word guilty" was pro
nounced Senator Mitchell seemed as
though turned to stone. The nervous
strOlsing of his beard which had con
tinued throughout the proceedings
stopped. Not a muscle twitched until
Judge Bennett arose and asked that
the jury be pollsd When he sat down,
SenatorMitchell leaned toward the at
torney and whispered: 1T was guilty"
As the poll proceeded, Senator
Mitchell scanned each juror narrowly,
hoping against hope that a negative
would be heard from one of the r.
As one after the verdict agreed to the
verdict, Mr. Mitchel's lips drew closer |
and closer in the effort to steel him
self against his evident disappoint- /
ment
AS the last man answered Eyes"
Judge Bennett arose and moved that /
the defendant be granted a new trial. |
Judge De Haven set the hearing of the
motion for next Monday, and then,
after dismissing the jury, adjourned
he court. Then, and only then, Senator
showed plainly the mental
.orture he was enduring.

Washington, July S.-Former Secre-
tary of War Elihu Root, Secretary of
War Taft and Joseph H. Choate, late
ambassador to England, are the men
from whom will be chosen the sue
cessor to the late Secretary of State
Hay, according to the best information
obtainable in Washington. The fact
that Secretary Taft acted as head of
the State department during Mr.. Hays
recent absence in Europe may be re-
garded as making it extremely prob
able that he will now be permanently
transferred to the state department
and new man placed in charge of the
war department But this arrangement
would necessitate the abandonment Of
