Special to Times -Rcpublica..
Webster City, Oct. 25.-The case Of
George Mackown, charged with the
burning of the Webster City felt shoe
factory, will reach the jury before the
close of the afternoon session of court.
Speculation is rife as to how long
it will take them to reach a verdict.
and many there are who look for y
disagreement
Attorneys Martin and Chase, for the
defense, addressed the jury this morn
ing, making strong pleas. Bitter, in-
vective and words of taunt marked
Mr. Chases speech. "Our contention all
along" said he, "has been that the
stockholders Of this shoe company did
not want the whole truth to come OUT
and our position is borne out by the
refusal Of the state to cross-examine
they call Mackown, when he was upon
the stand"
Mackown is jubilant today and ex.
presses his confidence In an acquittaL
He does not expect the jury to con-
sumo very long time in deliberation.

did you or did you not burn the
Northwestern Felt Shoe factory ?''
asked Attorney Wesley Of George Mac
kown, who was on the witness stand
late yesterday afternoon in his own
defense of the charge Of burning this
plant to the ground, June Is, 1908.
II did not" replied the witness, terse-
ly. clearly, and without evident feels

went on the defendants attorney
II did not. The statement was
wholly false" came the answer in an
emphatic tone Of voice.
The court room was crowded, nearly
one-third Of the audience being won-
en-.
s Every person present hung upon
every word of the man accused Of em-
bezzling several thousand dollars from
the Northwestern Felt Shoe company,
and then deliberately burning to the
ground the 100000 factory to hide the
evidence of his alleged crime. Few
persons had looked for him to take
the stand, and the interest was in
tense.
Attorney Martin asked Mackown a
few questions, mainly to corroborate
the evidence Of other witnesses for the
defense. He answered them clearly
and distinctly, and corroborated every
thing Of Importance as to the alibi.
shown earlier in the day and his
movements the day and night Of the
fire. He was not on the stand over ten
minutes when Attorney Martin turned
him over to the state with the usual
That's all"
That's ALL" responded Attorney
Boeye, indicating the states decision
not to crosse examine. To the audience
this was one of the biggest surprises
Of the trial.
It brought the evidence to an abb
rupt close, concluding the testimony
of the defense in less than a days
time.
The defense is an alibi, pure and
simple. No attempt was made to con-
trovert the evidence of embezzlement,
wherein lies the motive for the alleged
burning of the factory.

CRIMINAL ACTION HINTED.
Government Expected to Bring Suit
Against Hartman Lieutenant.


Washington. Oct. 25.-There is a
growing belief in this city that it is the
intention of the administration to be-
gin criminal prosecutions against G. w.
Loose, general manager of the Pacific
railway system, because Of rebates
which have been passed back and forth
between the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe in connection with the haul
ing of fruit in southern California. 1t
was brought out in the hearings con-
Quoted by Interstate Commissioner
Franklin K. Lane, in California recent
ly, that these rebates have been aggre-
eating half million dollars year.
While the hearings were under way
anxious to have Mr.. Loose placed on
the witness stand, which would have
given him immunity. The government
however, very carefully refrained from
doing anything Of this sort. 1t got
all the evidence it needed without call
ing upon Mr.. Loose, and is now in posi-
ton, it is believed, to proceed against
that gentleman criminally. The max
imum penalty is two years in prison.
Mr.. Loose is the third man from the
top in the Hartman interests in the
west. At the top is Hartman him
self, next comes Mr.. Stubbs, who is his
general representative with headquar-
ters in Chicago. Mr.. Loose is the
third man in rank, and is in charge
Of the Hartman interests In the far
west.
No official announcement has been
made of the governments intentions,
but certain unofficial advices indicate
that it is the purpose to prosecute
Loose if the way should seem open.
According to Commissioner Lanes it
was not possible to connect Hartman
with the rebates in ques-
tinn

GOO UTE INDIANS ON WAR PATH.
Troops Ordered to Cheyenne Reserva-
ton to Suppress Uprisinq.

Washington, Oct. 25-.The tribe of
Ute Indians, including 600 persons.
which more than year ago wandered
away from their reservation in Utah
and created trouble in Colorado and
Wyoming by threatening to take the
warpath and raid ranches, is reported
to have again broken out on the Chey-
enne River reservation in South Da-
kota, where the tribe was given tenn
porary quarters. AT the request of the
secretary of the interior the war de-
partment ordered troops from Fort
Meade, S. D., to the scene of the trou--
BILE.
Colonel Downs, special agent, is at
the Cheyenne River reservation, and a
telegram was received from him say
ing that the Utes had become unruly
and troops are needed. Fort Meade is
about 100 miles from the reservation.
and it will be necessary for the cavalry
to make a cross-country hike" as
there is no railroad between the two
points

Brooklyn Bank All Rioht.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Comptroller Of
the Currency Ridgely was In commun-
ication with Brooklyn this afternoon,
and later stated that the Jenkins
Trust Company and the Williamsburg
Trust Company, which suspended pay
ment today, were directly responsible
for the closing of the doors OF the
First National bank of Brooklyn. 1t
appears that the latter bank cleared
for the two trust companies and the
closing of it's doors was for the pur-
pose of protecting their depositors, in
asmuch as otherwise it would be held
responsible for the paper of the two
trust companies that might come In
any time up to tomorrow morning.

NO IMMEDIATE CRISIS.
President Roosevelt Assured in Regard
to Car Shortage.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Lane con-
ferred with President Roosevelt at
the request of the latter today, re-
garding the car shortage situation in
the northwest. The president was as
sured that no present alarm need be
felt, on account of lack of coal in the
northwest, as the railroads have been
shipping coal to that section during
the summer. That there is car short
age is apparent. but no immediate cri-
sis is anticipated because of that fact.
The crops are being moved, but more
slowly than is desirable.
