DEFENSE RESTS IN
BRIBERY CASE
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, D. c., April %.
Judge Gould today denied the
motion of the defense that John
A. Benson, of San Francisco, be
acquitted of charges of having
bribed clerks in the government
land office, without the case be-
ing placed in the hands of the
jury. The court held that the
jury must decide the case upon
its merits.
Gould held that 1t Is for the
jury to say whether the $500 paid
land office employees by Benson
was for past services or divulging
secrets of the government.
Attorneys for the defense an
nounced that they would rest
without introducing any testi-
mony. Arthur e. Hugh made the
first argument for the government
this afternoon. The case will
probably be placed In the hands
Of the jury tomorrow afternoon.

THE PRINCES BRIDE.

There once lived a prince who
was very handsome. He was also
as clever as he was handsome. He
made resolve that he would mar
ry no woman unless she was very
beautiful and almost as clever as
he.
So he started out disguised as a
poor man in search of a wife. He
travelled all, over the country for
many days, but his search was in
vain.
One day he was lost in a dense
forest. He tried to find his way
out, but he could not. At last he
came upon little cottage, and
begged shelter for the night.
An old couple lived in this cot
'tage with their beautiful daugh-
ter.
The prince thought this fair

set speeches are made. On the floor
of the senate today Brown of Me-
braska. discussed his resolution pro-
viding for an income tax amend
ment. He argued in favor Of the
passage of an income tax law, de-
claring that there was no assurance
that because the personnel of the
supreme court has not changed since
declaring an income tax unconsti-
tutional, that such law would be
reversed again. He said that IL the
present court sustained such a law
another court might rneder con-
trary opinion. He declared that
there was need of congress having
authority to enforce such a law,
which was demanded by the people.

MUCH ILLEGAL FISHING.

wnrdens Kept Busy Looking After
Persons Who Set Traps.
Game wardens throughout the north
ern part Of the state have been kept
on the jump for the past month round
ing up illegal fishermen and hunters,
and the officers say that never in the
history of the state has there been as
much illegal fishing and hunting in the
state as has been going on this spring.
On Saturday Deputies M. E. Berg and
A. G. Russell of Rhinelander took pos
session of three fish traps. The traps
were found in Horsehead creek near
McNaughton. The traps are similar
to those used in Norway and Sweden,
working On the same principle as the
housewives fly trap. The fish are easily
trapped but are unable to extricate
themselves once they have passed
through the funnel-shaped entrance.
Some of the traps have wing attach
ments on the sides, which will hold
hundreds of fish. The traps are usual
ly sunk in running water, in creeks
which empty from one lake into an
other. No rod or line is used, and
cases are on record where streams
have been cleared of fish by the use
of this illegal contrivance.
