The First Two Gases the Court Had Di-
 reCted VerdiCts of ACquittaI
In the Trial the Jury is Said to Have Been Divd ed From the Outset, Those FavOring Acquittal Fiji nalIy Gaining Two Votes.

The testimony seemed to District Attorney Bullard surprisingly harmless and he sought by searching questions to secure more coloring. Capt. Alex ander for the defense objected to the territory trying to impeach its own witness. The district attorney appeal ed to the court on the ground that his witness was not in sympathy with him. But further questioning drew out nothing more damaging.
 George Carter was another witness who had been before the grand jury. He too, it was charged had received money from the defendant. But Carr ter swore that he had been paid $2 for work at the polls. That work con sisted in seeing voters who might not have come unless they had been seen. Carter said that he did not work long and the voters he went to see could not be found. The district attorney said that Carter had told quite diff ferent story to the grand jury. Car ter denied it and at the end of his eX- animation the defense moved to strike out all of his evidence on the ground that it had no bearing on the charges against the defendant The motion was allowed.
 Carlos Arvisa was another witness for the territory who had received money from the defendant. His testi- mony was like that of all the others he had worked and had been paid for it His work consisted in getting vot CTS out to the polls. He had driven a rig around town and the country after voters who were entitled to the fran chise in the fourth ward. So far the territory had failed to prove that any of this work had been done for the republican party on the authorization of the defendant, though the witnesses admitted that on their own motion they had sought out only republican voters
 That was the case of the territory and the defense also announced tEat it rested and moved the court to di- rect a verdict of acquittal. The jury retired while this matter was being fought out. Capt Alexander in sup port of the motion cOntended that no evidence had been adduced showing that any crime had been committed. That the witnesses had been paid money for working at the polls was admitted, but such employment of money for such work was universal and all the proceedings were regular. There had been an utter failure to show that the witness had been em- ployed to work for any candidate.
 On the other hand District Attorney Bullard contended that that had beer plainly shown by inference; that it could not have been more plainly proved by direct words. The court tooA the view that both sides were wrong. He said that the statute was a very stringent one and there had been abundant evidence to show that it had been violated. But he said, there had been a lack of evidence in support of the allegations of the in

The first of the cases brought on the indictments for the illegal eXpendi- ture of money in the fourth ward election resulted in a mistrial. At ten o'clock last night the room in which the jury which tried Griggs H. Carr was in semi darkness, most of the jurors were evidently asleep. The silence was broken now and then by a wearied juryman pre- sumably bewailing the fate which was keeping him locked up all night.
 A half an hour later the jury reused itself. was brought into court and per mitted to disagree. It was hopelessly divided
 The case set for trial yesterday was that of Frank De SouZa, chairman of the democratic city central committee, who had been charged with paying fif ty dollars to Fred Gardiner a year ago for his services in behalf of J. W. Crenshaw democratic candidate for mayor. As Judge Baker, who is the attorney for Mir. De Souza had not re turned to the city one of the cases against Griggs Carr, was taken up In that a verdict of acquittal was di- rected by the court after the testimony for the territory had been put in. The same order was made in the second case. The third found its way to the jury late in the afternoon.
 There were four indictments against the defendant, numbered from 1496 to l49g inclusive. There had originally been five indictments, but one of them would not stand the onslaught of a de- murrer The indictments charged the unlawful giving of money to va rious persons, but they were all some what different in form having been drawn on different sections of the statute.
 The jury had been selected with some difficulty The attorneys for the defense ran against an almost solid democratic venire. There were a few scattering republicans in it, probably only three and one of them was known to be more dangerous than a normal democrat. As the jury was finally made up it included two republicans. Pains seemed to have been taken that a jury might be secured which would not be swayed by political sympathy with the defendants Carr and Gardi- ner.
 What was believed to be the strong est case against Carr was taken up first, that in which he had been charged with giving money to Ramon Flores. After some preliminary testi- mony by City Recorder Thomas to prove that the republican ticket in the fourth ward consisted entirely of the name of Claude W. Cisney candidate for councilman Flores was put on the stand. He admitted that he mad been given money by the defendant in payment for work at the polls. He said that the defendant had not told him to work for Cisney. but there was a general understanding that his ef- forts should be directed in ebhalf of the republican, ticket.

PORTLAND BREAKS INTO THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD
Two Long Road Races Which Will Be the First of An Annual Event.

Portland, Ore, June 4.-Ten thou sand enthusiastic persons today wit messed the B 40 miles and the 102 4-10 miles road racesl conducted by the Portland Automobile club this aft ernoon. It was late in the afternoon before the starter fired the pistol which sent the first car off on the shorter race. It was after o'clock tonight when the main event was fin ished. The races were the first of the kind ever conducted on the Pa cific coast. The club proposes to make an annual event of them in the future.
 The course mapped out was an ideal one. Through the oiling of the roads, scraping and otherwise bettering them a superb course was ready for the drivers. The club hopes to make the event one of as much importance in the automobile world as are the Briarcliffe, Savannah and other east ern contests.
 The course in today's race was pa trolled it's entire length. II 40 miles by the state militia. and perfect order was maintained, the riders not being interferred with in any degree. nor was there an accident to any of the driv- CTS of the racing cars. or machines. There was. however. a sad havoc among the racing cars. one by one the various cars dropped out of the two events because of punctures, machin- cry disorders, etc.
 With seven starters in the 5S 40 mile race, only two got through to/the finish and the eleven starters In the 102 4-10 mile race only three cars scored.

FAST AND FURIOUS FIGHT
 kFTCHFLL AND PAPkF'S
The Former Was Given a Decision at
 the End of Ten Rounds.

Milwaukee. June 4.-Stanley Ketch- ell of Grand Rapids was given de- cision over Billy Papke of Kewanee. H.. at the end of a fast and furious ten-round bout before the Milwaukee Boxing club, at the Hippodrome building. tonight before a crowd of 5000 persons. The contest was a terrific affair from start to finish with the exception of the time during which the men were engaged in clinching Time and again Ketchel forced his man to the ropes with fu- rious onslaughts of rights, and lefts to the head and body.
 Ketchel was. on top~of his man from gong to gong. without ever giving him a moments rest. except when they were in clinches. Ketchel ap- pealed to the referee repeatedly to break the clinches. Only in the eighth did Papke have an even break.
 Ketchel, in the first round. took considerable steam out of his man by landing a terrific right to the jaw. sending Papke to his knees. The Grand Rapids man worked the right and left shift to good advantage and bewildered Papke in attempts to get to him.
 If Ketchel. as was said by some was a bit slow, he did not show it tonight Not for a minute did he let his man rest.
 At the end of the last round Papke was plainly in distress and would hardly have lasted another round. Both men were in the pink of con- dition. Hugo Kelly, Sam Langford. Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Jack O'Brien of Philadelphia, Unk Russell and Pet CT Jackson challenged the winner.

dictment as to intent. The motion to direct was accordingly granted,
 Before the jury was recalled, the court suggested an agreement between the territory and the defense as to the trial of the other cases against this defendant and asked if the jury which had been selected with great care would be acceptable to both. The at torneys said it would and the jury was brought in and directed.
 It was then sworn for the next trial. It was stipulated by the attorneys that the same evidence which had been in- troduced in this trial should be con- sidered presented at the next one. Then followed another motion to di- rect and it was granted on practical ly the same ground that the former one had been.
 Indictment No. 1497 was then taken up, the only one which could be tried without the sending out for other wit nesses. The district attorney an nounced that he would put Eduardo Aguilar on the stand. In that case said the defense all the testimony would be heard over again. It was later stipulated that the former testi- mony of the other witnesses should be allowed to stand unless the defense found something in the testimony of Aguilar which would make it neces- sary for the further strengthening of it's case. The testimony of Aguilar was little different from that of all the other witnesses. In fact 1t did not seem quite so strong. Aguilar said that he had received $7 from the defendant on the night after the cleo ton for the work he had done. This work consisted in getting up a lunch for a republican club the night before the election and for hustliRg voters out to the polls the next day He was asked if he had not told the grand jury that the defendant had instruct ed him to tell the voters to put a cross under the flag. He said that he had given no such testimony. He had told the voters how to vote. but he had had no instructions from Carr on that subject. He furthermore said that he was not aware that any of the voters he had seen had voted. He was ask ed by the territory if the money he had received was paid him before or after he voted. He replied that he had not voted that day.
 At the conclusion of his testimony the defense moved the court to direct a verdict on the grounds offered in support of the former motions. After a brief argument the motion was de- nied. The court overruled the motion. The defense announced that it would offer no evidence and the arguments were begun.
 It was about five o'clock when the case was submitted to the jury. Af- ter it had had it under consideration for nearly two hours a curious re- quest for information was preferred. The jury wanted to know what the penalty would be in case the defendant should be ofund guilty. From that it was inferred in some quarters that a verdict was near at hand. As the night drifted along the chances in creased that no verdict would be found for this was the kindsof case in which there is little room for compromise.
 IL is understood that during the early part of the deliberations the vote was six to six. but that later and to the end the jury stood eight to four in favor of conviction.
