The Specific Charges.

Guy L. Wilson. upon whose testi-
mony one of the verdicts Of guilty was
reached, was the first witness called
in the case. He said on the witness
stand that Dwyer promised him $150
for filing on timber claim and that
he drove through the desired land with
Dwyer at the latter's expense. He filed
on it some time later. as Dryer told
him that the land was not yet ready
for occupancy. At the time Of the ia
nous lineup in front of the Lewiston
land office, Wilson testified that he
was unable to be present and that
Dwyer hired a boy to substitute fol
him. The witness also said that DwyeI
coached him on the answers he should
make at the land office and gave him
his filing fee and SAIL to pay on fina,
proof. After deciding the land to Ket

The particular counts under which
they were convicted are believed to
be counts 3 and the first one being

reSs made in America since my previous visit to the United States is enormous. Not only are the American electric roads in the cities superior to any on this side, but electricity is used as the mo- tive power on regular railroads to far greater extent than here.
 Tt was particularly interesting to me to see that the practical American use alternating current almost exclusively, while the direct current in use at the time of my previous visit has been aDan- doned nearly everywhere.
 ''The American railroads are excellently built and the length of the lines as well as the good service in thinly populated states such as Oregon were quite reye- lation."

 Hard times are beginning to make them selves felt in Germany, and it Is evident that the short era of prosperity is over.
 All industrial securities are sinking. and there has been considerable decrease in the earnings of nearly all railroads. The advocates of free silver are making the most of this and have begun strong camapign in favor of the white metal, claiming that the supply of gold Is in- sufficient.

AMERICA LEADS IN ELECTRIC RAILROADS Report Is Made to the German
 Government
BY MALCOLM CLARKE.

Berlin, November 3O.-Technically Amer ica is way ahead of Germany as far as electric railroads are concerned, is the keynote of the official report made by the government commission which was sent to the United States to study the electric roads there and which returned some two weeks ago.
 The report states that it is surprising to see the results reached In America with small means and praises the go- ahead spirit of the American engineers. though it says that 1t Is occasionally coupled with recklessness which must be condemned. and which would never be condoned in Germany where the safe ty and comfort of the public are much better looked after.

 Stables are strangely full. and the old '.runners-up'' and kennel men shake their heads ominously, if a little contemptuous- ly. for, in their vocabulary, an accident gives a pieuancy to the sport otherwise unobtainable.
