WASHINGTON VIEW.

Washington, Dec. 3.-That Represcn-
tative Theodore L. Burton of Ohio has
been offered the portfolio OF secretary
OF the treasury is generally believed in
Washington. For years the Cleveland
representative has made q study of
questions of finance and the addition
of another member of the house COM
mittec on banking and currency last
winter by Speaker Cannon, in order to
appoint Mr.. Burton to that committee
when currency reform was 10 be en-
acted into law, was considered q fitting
compliment to the Ohio mans ability.
1t Is known that Mr.. Burton would
rather have the position of secretary
of the treasury than any other port
folio, but Is inclined to prefer a seat
in the senate to a place i'll the cabinet.
For that reason 1t Is believed he will
withhold his answer to the preferred
cabinet position until after the scna-
torial situation In Ohio has clarified.
When asked concerning the report
that he had been selected for secretary
of the treasury, Mr.. Burton said today
that his name unfortunately had been
mentioned in connection with a num-
her of positions. Some of these, he ex-
planned, We're mere conjecture and
greatly embarrassed hs endeavors
along other lines. He mentioned in
this connection the senatorship from
Ohio and the positions of secretary OF
state and secretary of the treasury. He
added that he was at present a candi-
date for the Ohio senatorship.

sALVADoRAN CONSIDERATIONS
ARE FRUSTRATED

San Salvador, Dec. 3.y7rhe conspira-
tors against the government whose up
rising was frustrated on Tuesday had
planned to make a combined attack on
the barracks in the western part 81
the republic, relying upon their ability
to induce the military to join them. The
officers were informed of the plans as
soon as they were Matched and awaited
Developments. The first arrests were
made in Sonsonate, which is so miles
from San Salvador. The movement
was put down quickly. AS the coffee
crop is about to be harvested, the sue
cess of the insurgents would have

CLOSING ARGUMENTS.

. (
The entire morning session of the
court was consumed in listening to
the closing arguments Of Atty. G. S.
Tarian for the defense and to MI.
Booth for the government.
Mr.. varian in opening the testi-
mony, declaring that Mr.. Moore stop
ped Sharp's coal without being In
combination with anyone. and in fact
before the conference at which a
combination was alleged to have Its
origin. Beginning with these facts
the prosecution have built up finan-
cial crime, he declared, "in which
they seek by financial. arguments to
show that conspiracy existed when
the facts are that parties other than
Mr.. Moore knew nothing about this
order to stop Sharp's coal except that
1T had been made.
What kind of a man has the dis
trict attorney got that he will seek to
weave preteXt with suppostion to
build upon them constructive crimes
of influence and argument?
IT lonw Of no law designated on
the statute books that makes it a
I crime for my company to refuse
to sell its productato anyone to whom
1t chooses to refuse to sell 1t.
MFR BOOTH ANSWERS.
Mr.. Booth in answering these ar
guments denied all intention to deal,
I in fanclful pretexts. and exhibited
the railroad circular advertising the
SO cents reduction as evidence of the
existence OF facts on which to proceed.
He declared that Sharp's action in
appealing to Mr.. Bancroft was exactly
the proper action since he appealed
to the very authority which had
issued the circular under which he had
sold his coal Mr.. Buckinghams inter-
est was not merely that Of an official
in charge of transportation. he urged.
as Mr.. buckingham had been specifical-
" designated by his superior Mr.. Ban
croft, as an agent for him to In
vestigate Mr.. Sharp's case, look into
his complaint, and see what merit it
had. He read also Mr., Shnrps con-
tract with the railroad company TO pay
it both freight and cost OF the coal,
and declared that Mr.. Sharp. who had
been spoken of, by the defense as an
i'll tempered Scotchman, was a fighting
American, when he opposed methods
such as the car of Russia alone was
at one time thought to monopolize
isn't that the spirit Of '76?" he asked
the Jurors.
Some men, he continued, would
have played policy and said that since
they could not get coal without bowling
to un-American power, they would bow
and take to the yoke and stay in bust
ness. Then Mr.. Sharp proved himself
to be acting in the spirit of American
liberty when he spoke back and said
to Mr.. Bancroft, and to Mr.. Bucking
ham and to Mr.. Moore that he stood on
his rights as an American and would
retail his coal without their interference
to prevent competition"
Asst. Dist.-Atty. VIM. McCrea was
absent from the trial today, having
been called to Heber City to try a case.
