THE JURY DISAGREED.

San Francisco Chronicle.-"Som
years ago, while l was residing at
Visalia," remarked Attorney William
H. Afford II was called to Hanford
to defend a petty offender in JUS
tees court. The defendant had de-
manded jury trial, and We put in
half day trying to get jury, only
to find out at the end of that time
that we had but one lone juror in, the
jury box.
well I'm willing to try the case
with one juror said the attorney for
the prosecution.

"And we proceeded with the trial.
The arguments were howlingly funny,
for the reason that the attorney for
the prosecution persisted in address
ing the lone juror as gentlemen OF
the jury and | succeeded in swelling
the jury with feeling of pride and
satisfaction by some timely comment
on the self-evident honesty, intelli-
gence and integrity of the body.

out to the jury room, where he might

the lone juryman If he had arrived

CAVES OF NEW YORK STATE.
caverns in schoharie County Are Be.
ing Explored This Summer.


The caves and caverns of Scholar.
lie county have been objects of inter.
est and speculation almost from the
time OF the advent of the white man
within her borders, says the Gate
skill Index. In number and magni-
tude they surpass those of any other
county in the state
There are probably 100 of these
caverns in the county, all of them of
deep interest to the geologist and
some of them invested with weird
and fantastic tales by the early set
tiers. At least two lives have been
lost in the attempt at their explora-
ton, and yet in spite of all the labor
and suffering the beginning and end.
ing of most of them are still shrouded
in mystery and doubt.
Not until the present summer has
the scientific exploration of them
been attempted by the state 1t has
been believed that most, if not all,
OF these great caverns are intercom-
municative, that these little streams
which disappear beneath the surface
and so mysteriously flow on under
ground finally all unite in some sub.
terranean river flowing through the
Cobieskill cavern, as by biologists
this great underground opening has
been named.
To ascertain. if possible. whether
this be true, and to explore the caves
and caverns and to discover as far
as possible their size and outline
and their relation to each other a
party began operations, as previous
ly noted, on June 30. 1t was under
the direction of the state geologist
and consisted of Prof John H. Cook
of the Albany normal college; James
F. Loughran, surveyor; Harry Cook,
photographer, and laborer.
They began work at Howe's cave.
This, which is the most famous of
those in Schoharie county and rivaled
in size only by Mammoth cave in
Kentucky, was first explored in 1912
by Lester Howe, from whom it took
its name. This bold spirit, undis-
mayed by the tales of it's being in
habited by wild beasts, removed the
underbrush and after months of great
labor and hardship penetrated the
cavern, discovered the lake therein
and thoroughly explored for a dis

ior TWO days, penetrating as far as

at a point where the roof had caval

they retraced their steps and went

GORDON farm. Ice cave was then
vlslted-so named from the fact that
the temperature therein never rises
above the freezing point. The party
uid not long remain there. The low
temperature makes extended explor-
auons' extremely announcement, but
II is said that venturesome persons
long ago discovered, after having
penetrated a long distance, a frozen
lake and deep. icy chasms, almost
fathomless.
McFall's cave was next visited
Inc cavern takes its name from the
unfortunate man who lost his life
while exploring it in 1853. This
gentleman, professor in the semi.
nary at Carlisle, was being drawn I'D
from the pit by means of a rope and
mad almost reached the surface when
ne was seized with vertigo and fell
backward, striking upon his head and
1racturing his skull. He lived only
few hours.
Inc owners of the cave, deeply
affected by the sad occurrence, closed
the entrance with logs and stones
and did their work SO thoroughly
that the recent explorers were able
TO penetrate only about fifty feet.
Better results were obtained at
Sellecks cave on the Chester farm.
This cave, located in the heart of the
woods, is at the entrance, a circular
basin OF about twenty-five feet. In
one corner of this basin is an open
ing into the ground sufficient to adj
NIT the entrance of a man and, so
descending, the explorers dropped, al
most vertically, thirty-four feet.
Safety was provided by telling a tree
across the entrance and tying a rope
to this, the other end being fastened
to the explorers body. Then after
travelling about eighty feet, at an in
cline of about 45 degrees the open
ing, from being a narrow crevice OF
from two to three feet, suddenly ex-
pands into a great rotunda forty feet
long and whose height is fully 100
feet. Upon the sides are fantastic
worn surfaces and fossils peculiar to
the Coeymans age of limestone.
Through it stream of water runs.
The party continued 160 feet and
then left to investigate other caverns.

THE OUTRAGE OF OVER-PRO-
lection

There IS not a protected trust in the
United States, says the Kansas City
Star, which has grown to its present
gigantic proportions under the foster
ing protection Of an exorbitant tariff,
that is willing to submit to a reduc-
ton Of such artificial support The
tendency is now and always will be
for these special interests to ask for
continued protection. Is the steel
trust with its one hundred and fifty
million dollars a year profits willing
to have the 40 per cent tariff wall re-
moved IN part or in whole? Does the
fact that this trust is selling steel for
IS less per ton in Europe than in the
United States change its altitude in
the least as far as is demands for
protection are concerned:
The system OF economics thai is in
operation to make sIch condition
possible tends to destroy the ship
building industry IN this country and
to seriously cripple commerce. The
foreign builder can construct a ship
at a vast deal less expense than is
possible in America An ordinarily
large ship can be built with American
steel from $4,000 to $50, 1000 cheaper
abroad than at home. To meet this
pernicious evil arising from over-pTo-
lection, the steel trust would have q
ship subsidy. Such a Law was adv o.
Gated by the late senator Hanna. its
object, pure and simple, was to build
UP the American merchant marine
and help the shipbuiIding industry.
That this very Objectionable measure
has never passed beth houses Of con-
gress and received tie signature Of The
president is to The lasting credit Of
our cOuntry's lawmakers.
The consumer who Is paying the
tax to support the present high tariff
on steel and other imported commo-
dities would be burdened with a heav-
Ter load than ever by the passage Of q
ship subsidy law. He would be pay
ing TO maintain the present inequit-
able and unjust protection to the steel
trust and giving an additional tribute
to relieve a situation made possible by
such trust-sheltering laws But this
example merely serves to show the in
ordinate greed OF such over-protected
industries. :

AfoRMoNs OR UNION LABOR.

This years political struggle In
Idaho is Of striking interest, and the
result may be Of far more importance
to the country at large than is gen
orally supposed. Here in a remote
and thinly populated state are being
fought out two questions Of universal
interest. One is a protest against the
domination OF the state by a religious
organization The other IS fight,
literally to the death, between the
state authorities and union labor, over
Issues arising out OF the assassination
OF former Governor Frank Stuenen-
berg.
The democrats, OF Idaho, led by
United States Senator Fred T. Dubois,
declare that the interference Of the
Mormon church in the political and
business affairs Of the state is intoI-
cradle, and that all other questions
must wait until the state is free Of
religious domination. The republicans,
Jed by Governor Frank R GOoding and
william Z, Borah, hold that the pre-
seryatiOn Of law and order is the first
duty OF all citizens, and that the men
now in jail charged with conspiracy
70 murder Governor Stunenberg must
be tried, and II convicted must be
hanged. As it happens that the Nor
mon issue is being handled with con-
summate skin on both sides, and as
the men charged with Stunenbergs
death are the heads Of the Western
Federation Of Miners, and are backed
BY union labor throughout the Unit
ed States, it viii be seen that the re-
