Paul. and managers of the Superior
Board of Trade, conspired to cheat in

holding back on quotations until A
price could be reached which absorbed
the margins, so far reported reached

The government charges that on May

BRISTOL MINE
SHOWS Up WELL
Contracts Are Let for Shipping
Thousands of Tons of Ore
Over Clark Road.
(speciaI to- The Herald. }


Caliente. June 2S.-The Bristol CONSOLE
dated people at Bristol who have been
blocking out ore which they propose to
haul TO Builionville in wagons, have let a
contract for handling 1000 tons to the
smelter town for shipment over the new
road, as soon as the steel is laid to that
point. This contract is independent of the
one that they now have to haul the ore
to Caliente from which point it is shipped
to Salt Lake, an average of two cars per
week now being sent out. The new con-
tract was necessary on account of the
fact that the ore now in the mine ready
for shipment is in the way and greatly re-
tards the development underground. The
mine is well equipped with hosting plant
and air compressor and has an immense
tonnage in sight. The company owns
twenty-five full claims and is doing extern
Sive development work under the manage
ment of W. r. Brace. The ore is mostly
copper. carrying some iron, and excellent
for smelling purposes. The property is
only eight miles from the Caliente & Pr
oche railroad and it is understood that
the Bristol people are now negotiating
with the railroad people to build a branch
to the mines, as the Bristol Consolidated
is a proven producer and has very large
ore reserves

Private Property on the Seas.

Then began the debate on the exemption
of private property at sea Baron Mac
chic Austrian, supported the American
proposition
Senior Barbosa. Brazil. gave a historical
survey of the attitude of the United
States from the time of Benjamin Frank
lin and eulogized the position assumed by
the United States, which he declared was
the view of the whole American hemis-
phere. He said that when under the dec
laration contained in the treaty of Paris
of 1856 the signatOry powers declared for
the abolition of privateering the Ameri-
can delegates refuse to give their as
sent on the ground that it did not declare
expressly that private property at sea was
inviolable. Senior Barbosa concluded by
declaring that by the orders of his gov
eminent he associated himself with the
American proposal.

the Jury.

Houston, Va. June 2S-The argument of
the attorneys in the trial of former Judge
William C. Loving, for the murder of
Theodore Estes, was begun this alter
noon. The instructions as read by
Judge Barksdale discussed murder in its
various degrees, reasonable doubt, the
time allowance for a man s angry pas
sions to subside, and insanity lnStruc-
tons prepared by the prosecution touching
on the ''unwritten law were stricken out
by the court They declared that the I'M

of the citizen to become the aVenger OF
his own wrongs in a manner not author

place in the criminal Jurisprudence of Nlr-

Mr.. Choate's Speech.

MIR Choate then made a speech based
on the American declaration on the con-
ference of 1899. He referred to the diff
ferent occasions in which the United
States had proclaimed her support of the
doctrine-by treaties with Prussia in 1873,
with Bolivia in 1858 and with Italy in 1911.
He enumerated the circumstances under
which this principle received the approval
of jurists and the sympathy of nations,
while eminent authorities like Palmers-
ton. Golden, Bluntschlei. Nesselrode,
Wols1ey and Martens had pronounced
themselves in favor of it
Long before the first conference in
1856. Mr.. Choate said. Russia declared the
matter worthy of consideration, saying
that the success of the American prin-
ciple would be "crown of glory to
modern diplomacy" His survey showed
that the United States had followed the
same policy for over century, earnestly
urging in the first days of its existence
that the principle be adopted He re-
called the vote of the Brussels confer
ence in 1874 on the immunity of private
property on land and asked that the

Protection of Women.

He discussed Judge Loving's struggles
against the whisky habit. the buggy ride
and the testimony of the insanity ex-
perts He appealed to each juror to place
himself in the same position as Judge
Loving and not to let "old Halifax go
back on that established precedent that
one of our most cheerful and best duties
is the protection of honor and the virtue
of our women"

his eyes. but displayed little emotion. His
wife went.

Neutral Powers Interested.

Mr.. Choate sought to prove that all neu-
trail powers were interested in the ques-
ton and the tendency was to restrict war
to its proper domain. The privateering of
former years was losing more and more
in Importance in view of the great tech
nicaI projections of the present day. The
speaker declared:
''One might say the game is beginning
to be worth the candle"
Mr.. Choate concluded by saying that
President Roosevelt attached such i'm
portance to the question that he wished
to evolve an expression of opinion on it
by a vote of all the countries represented
at the conference. Mr.. Choate spoke in

The "Unwritten Law"

THE first principle of the law is to put

man attempts to assault one of our daugh-
tiers he has forfeited his life You, gen.
tlemen of the jury. have nothing to do
with the truth or the falsity of the story
that Miss Loving told her father. When
he heard that this daughter was brought
home drugged and unconscious by young
man to whose courtesy and chivalry she
had been intrusted, he labored with his
passions and remained away from the
sight of Young Estes until he heard the
story of her ruin from her own lips"
