THE HALl.MAYS CASE
 REACHED A FINE POINT
Of the Dozen Defendants Only One
 Left, and His Acquittal Was Moved.

Portland. Jan. 2S.-Judge Hunt to- day denied a motion by Judge Web- ster.. attorney for John H. Hali, for a verdict of acquittal. The introduction of testimony for the defense will begin tomorrow. It is not known how many witnesses Hall has subpoenaed, but Judge Webster said that not more than two days will be required for the present case. Hall it is declared, will take the stand in his own behalf.
 The prosecution finished it's case this morning and Heney moved to dismiss against Defendant Edwin Mays. The prosecution explained that there was not sufficient evidence against Mays. so the latter was exonerated and dis charged.
 Counsel for Hall made a motion to have the court instruct the jury to ac- quit the sole remaining defendant, but Heney opposed 1t. Of the twelve men indicted on the charge of conspiring to fence government land, Hall is the only one standing the brunt of the prosecution.

GREAT FRENCH
DRAMA1|ST
DIES

PARIS, France, Nov. 9.-Victoren
Sardou, the great French dramatist
and man of letters, died yesterday
from an attack of pulmonary con-
gestion, from which he had been
suffering for some time. He began
his career in the study of medicine,
struggling along with many ambi-
lions until he entered the dramatic
field. He was poor man and his
first efforts in the dramatic line
were Kissed from the stage, but
Sardou died a rich man, and with
the distinction of being Frances
greatest dramatist of the present
day
He was born in 1881, and first be-
gan writing plays for theatrical
manager to whom he was intro
duced by his wife.
Sardou was a member of the
French academy, dean of the
French dramatists. He received
the affections of all the people, and

memoirs.

supreme courts drastic decisions.
But congress was obdurate and the
labor representatives made a direct
appeal for relief to the national
conventions of the republican and
democratic parties, with the result
that they received scant satisfac-
ton at Chicago and were promised
support at Denver, whereupon
President Gompers and many of
his followers entered the campaign
for Bryan. 1t was the democracy
against the field with them.
Naturally the republicans, social
lists and independents in the trade
unions not only resented the impu,
tation that the two million mem
bers of the federation were "deliv.
ered' to the democratic party, but
they threatened to carry their fight
into the forthcoming Denver con.
vention and endeavor to GUST Com
pers from office.

least $50 bodies will have to be
disinterred in the Catholic grave
yard here. The new pastor. Father
Calvin, has decided on the remov-
ais as the only means of prevent
ing further confusion in the loca-
ton of graves and the limitations
of lots. People have been so care
less in the burial of the dead that
many bodies are placed in other
peoples lots, and some are even
buried in the space assigned for
walks AS a result, the question of
ownership of lots has given rise
to bitter disputes and in many
cases relatives have had difficulty
in finding graves.
To prevent further confusion,
Father Calvin has ordered the
cemetery to be resurveyed. All
bodies then found to be buried in
the walks or in other peoples lots
will be taken up and placed in
proper graves.
The whole Catholic. community is
stirred up over the matter.

The probabilities are that steps
will be taken to accumulate a
larger defense fund or funds to be
controlled directly by the fedora

used in contests with the antagon-

SECOND EXCURSION PLAN.

The chamber of commerce is CIV
ing favorable consideration to the
plan of running another California
excursion, probably some time in
January. The first excursion car
ried more than 200 people, and was
one of the most successful enter
prises of that nature attempted by
the Spokane chamber. Interest in
the scheme indicates that probably
larger number would take advan-
tage of a second excursion.
