AFTER BOMB

Portland, Ore, Oct. "a special
dispatch to the Evening Telegram
from Baker City, Ore, says that the
identity of the fiends who planned
and executed the horrible death Of
Harvey X. Brown, ex-sherif and in
exorable enemy of lawbreakers, ia
somewhat nearer solution. The blood
hounds owned by Harry Draper Of
Spokane have scented the trail of the
assassins. They we're traced by the
dogs to the railway tracks, along the
track for 100 feet. thence around a
warehouse and mill building and
back across the tracks up to Auburn
avenue to Sixth street, where the trail
Was lost.
The authorities believe that the
murderers are still in town and every
avenue Of exit is guarded. The cor
oner's jury returned its verdict.
The verdict merely recited the man
ner in which Brown came to his death
and accused an unknown person OF
persons Of the deed. The county
court OF Baker county offered re-
ward OF $500 FOR the capture Of the
murderers.

HE VIOLATED
SUNDAY LAW
Carlson Pleads Guilty After Jury
Had Disagreed

81 plead guilty to the charge"
was the startling and surprising state.
ment OF Antoine Carlson this morning
In justice albert Biixt's court, be-
fore whom be was to have hearing
ON the charge of violating the Sunday
closing law a few weeks ago, when
the officers found him 10 the rear OF
his saloon drinking and furnishing
others beer. About ten days ago,
Carlson had a trial before jury In
Judge Blixt's court, which after re-
firing for about an hour failed to
agree. AZ the time the state and To-
cal officers maintained the case was
a clear violation, alleging that II the
law could not be enforced In that
case, IL would be useless to try again.
One witness, Anderson, swoFe he
bought beer and paid for 1t on the
occasion. Two or more officers
swore Carlson, his bartender and
others were found In the saloon
drinking and that Carlson offered
each OF the officers s1O II they
would drop the matter, which was
refused. CaFlson's memory was
bad and the defense eontended the
place where the drinking occurred
was in the rear of the building and
not part of the saloon. While the
evidence seemed clear TO many Of the
spectators, the jury failed to agree.
Today to the surprise Of the stat e,
which had been slowly, but surely
weaving a net around the defense,
Carlson plead guilty. The minimum
penalty for the violation OF the law "a
$50 fine and one day In the county
jail,
Judge Blixt rendered his decision
al 4 o'clock sentencing Carlson TO
pay the minimum fine OF $40 aud
costs, aRgregating about s75, ami Ia

The navy is not primarily of im-
rortance only to the coast regions.
II is every bit as much the concerns
of the farmer who dwslls thousand
miles from sea water as OF the fisher
man who makes his living Oh the
ocean, for il IL the concern Of every
good American who knows what he
meaning of the word patriotism is.
This couatry is definitely com
miited to certain fundamental pole
ies--to the Monroe doctrine, for 10
stance, and to the duty not only Of
building, but, when it is built. Of
policing aud defending the Panama
canal. We have definitely taken our
place among the great world powers,
! aud il would be a sign Of iguoble
weakness, having taken such a place,
TO shirk its responsibilities.
Therefore, unless we are willing
TO abandon this place, to abandon Ia
sistencs upon the Monroe doctrine.
to give up the Panama canal, and 10
i be content 10 acknowledge ourselves
weak aud timid nation, we must
steadily build up and maintain a
great fighting navy. Our navy il al

/ just pride to every American. So
long as our navy is no larger than at
present. it must he considered az an
elementary principal that the bulk
Of cur battle feet must always be

Nine Out of 2i Candidates In

Cincinnati, Oct. 3-A political
sensation developed when nine Of the
Fl candidates names yesterday at
the democratic municipal convention
refused to accept the places given
them on the ticket. The reason given
is that the methods that controlled

vention we're too autocr attic, aud that
there was too much of "boss rule
in the convention for officials who
we're two years ago elected in cam
paign against such practices.

Boise. 11ano, OcE. 3.-OnIted
States Senator William r. Borah last
night was acquitted of the charge of
conspiring to defrsud the government
out of valuable Idaho timber lands.
The case was submitted without
argument on the part of the defense
and the jury was out just long enough
to take one ballot. The verdict
was greeted by cheers and appliances,
which the court officials made no
effort to restrain. AS soon as the
news reached the outside, bells we're
rung and the city fire department
made a run through the principal
streets, stopping at the Idanha hotel,
where Senator BoFah, surrounded by
several hundred OF his fellow eiti-
zens, was escorted. A brass oand APP
peared and as the senator reached the
hotel steps played "HaiI to the
Chief.
The streets about the hotel we're
crowded with friends of the senator
and others, and Senator Borah was
cheere1 again and again. Senator
Borah thanked his hearers for their
demonstration and the confidence
they had reposed in him throughout
the trial.
Senator Borah held an impromptu
reception in the courtroom and an
other in the lobby of the hotel, where
he was called upon for a speech.
Wherever he went during the evening
he was cheered and congratulated.
Events moved fast on the last day
of the trial. When court met in the
morning Judge Whitson announced
that he would override the motion
Of the defense for an instructed yer
dict OF not guilty.
Senator Borab thereupon took the
stand in his own behalf and gave his
explanation of the matter which the
government attorneys urged as tend
ing to connect him with an alleged
conspiracy. His testimony was a
denial of any knowledge of fraud and
a brief statement of all his acts as
general counsel for the Barber Lum-
Der company.
BORAH AND THE COMPANY.
Senator Borah said he had been a
personal friend of former Governor
SteunenbeFg for years prior to his
death, but never was employed as his
attorney. He became general coun-
sci for the Barber Lumber company
in 1898. He had several converse
tions with Inspector Sharp in regard
to reports of frauds and asked to be
informed whenever fraudulent claim
was unearthed.
The visit to former Governor Nor
rison was explained by Senator Bor-
alb with the statement that the Bar
Der Lumber company had purchased a
quantity of land scrip and had hop
ed to scrip the section where the
state had finally decided to take up
1000 acres. The compaBy's idea was
to scrip the land of entrymen. Gov
ernor Morrison did not give any spe-
cific information

SENATOR BORAH
is NOT GUILTY
Big Demonstration in Boise Over
the Verdict

As to deeds going through his
office, Senator Borah said that 339
deeds had been so recorded. He had
nothing to do with any of the pur-
chases, many of which we're made
long before he became attorney for
the company. No controversy aris-
ing over the deeds, nothing in re
gard to the matter was ever referred
to him.
In answer to the inquiry as to Why
the lands had been taken In the
names of Rand, Long and others,
Senator Borah said that was answered
by the company officers to the effect
that if it became known that a cor
poration was in the field the price OF
land would have been doubled, and
for this reason the Barber mill cite
here at Boise was also purchased in
Rand's name.
ARGUMENT OF ATTORNEYS.
The senator was cross examined at
snme length and as soon as this was
over the defense rested. There being
no evidence to rebut, the government
also closed and argument was begun.
Special Assistant Attorney Gener-
al r. r. Rush of Omaha opened for
the govrnment, aud when he had con-
cluded two hours address the de-
Tense announced that no argument
would be made on behalf of Senator
BOrah.
Both prosecution and presiding
Judge we're surprised by this move

that circumstances depended upon to

with innocence, 1t was the duty of
the jury to acquit. Conviction,

be found upon suspicious circum.
stances. 1t was not sufficient, the
court held, that a man should be
shown to have corruptly engaged In
it and to have had guilty knowledge
of it's objects.
Judge Whitsor urged that jurors
not be swayed or Influenced by the
defendants high station, but to
judge him in the light of the law,
which recognized no degree, high or
low.
