he said, now up to the business men to get in and assist in making it a greater and bigger fair than it had ever been.
 In the four years since its institu- tion, said MT. Adams, the fair has reached rank with many state fairs and far more progress had been made in that time than in any state fair. Yet, he said. it was still only in the beginning.
 The commissioners, he added could not claim all the credit for what had been done, or even the bulk of the credit. That belonged to hundreds, for everybody who ought to have been in- terested in such movement had taken an active and eager part. The su- perintendents of departments, the judges and other officials had dropped their own business to engage in the business of the fair, without emolu- ment, even paying their own expenses With such a spirit as that, said Mfr Adams, the fair could not have been other than a success.

BOUGHT \ CHANCE
 BUT NOTHING MORE
The Theory of the Defense in the Two Queens Case.

Kansas City, May 1.-The closing arguments in the case of the govern ment against the three Horn broth CTS, s. H. Snider and Raymond P. May, charged with an illegal use of the mails in exploiting the Two Queens" mine in Arizona, were be- gun today and will be concluded te- morrow
 Leslie J. Lyons. assistant United States district attorney, argued for the prosecution. He charged that the defendants had paid ss,000 for a half interest in a mine which they cap italized at s10,0e0, 900.
 Attorney J. S Bottsford, who ar gued for the defense, said it was one of the infirmities of the human race to exaggerate what one has to sell and that persons who bought mining stock understood they were paying for a chance-nothing more.

| United Railroads. You made this the | issue. Surely you are not afraid to meet it now that he is on the stand prepared to answer your questions" Spreckels testified that he first came into conflict with the United
 Railroads in 1905. when he learned of a proposal to substitute the oyer head trolley for the cable on the
 Sutter street system. As an owner
 of property on the lines of this sys-
 tenn, and as a member of the Sutter
 Street Improvement Club, Spreckels
 said he was actively opposing the
 project among his influential ac-
 quaintances and he had consented
 three times to meet Calhoun to dis
 cuss the project
 In detailing the conferences to
 which he referred, Spreekels provided
 the most interesting feature of the
 days proceedings. He said he had
 steadfastly refused to accept the street railway presidents arguments
 in support of the overhead trolley and had rejected offers of a com promise that he believed to be to the city's disadvantage.
 "On the occasion of our third in terview," said the witness, Calhoun said he would be willing to withdraw the cable line from Pacific avenue. where my residence is located, and substitute an overhead trolley line on Broadway in the same district He called my attention to the fact that, in common with many of my neighbors, I had carriages and auto mobiles and was not dependent on the street cars.
 Tn reply I said my fight was not selfish one and that I was interested in behalf of people not so fortunate as to possess carriages and automo- piles, and that I would not entertain the proposition"
 In compliance with the promise he has made many times since the trial began, Heney then led the witness to relate the circumstances under which he arranged with James L. Gallagher for a contract of immunity. absolv- ing the supervisors from legal penalty. He testified that William J. Burns had arranged for Gallagher to meet him at the Presidio, and that he had | gone there armed with authority by the district attorney to offer immun- ity to Gallagher for full confes sion of the boodling schemes in which ] the board had engaged.
 Gallagher, he said, refused to tell | anything until assured that all the | other supervisors would escape legal | punishment, and a second interview ! was arranged, after the district attor 1 ney had declared that Gallagher's | testimony was essential. At the sec Dnd Presidio conference Gallagher was | told that all the supervisors who l confessed would be granted immunity | and the chairman of the board de- | parted to convey this information to | his colleagues. At this point the days | session ended but it was indicated | that the direct examination of the | would be completed tomorrow.

MODEL LICENSE ORATOR
Declares That the Dry Spots Seen About the Country are Expressions of Protest Against the Way Liquor Traffic Is Conducted.

San Francisco. Cal, May 1.-The first meeting of the Pacific coast con- vention of the National Model License league, the object of which-fs the uni form regulation of the liquor traffic. In opposition to the prohibition mOve- ment, was held at the St. Francis he tel tonight. Capt D. NJ Smitl. of Louisville, Ky, general counsel Of the league was the speaker of the evening.
 In outlining his conception of the proper way to combat the evils arising from the liquor habit. Captain Smith declared that the solution lay in the regulation of saloons by laws which should be fixed in their penalties, just In their provisions and free from the possibility of political influence.
 Few persons are prohibitionists at heart, according to Captain Smith. and the dry vOOte is merely the express sion of protest against the evils re- sulting from lax an improperly en- forced laws.
 is the child of fanati- cism," said Captain Smith, but it is supported by the evils in the liduor traffic. Do away with the evils and prohibition will die for lack of encour- agement. One drunken man upon the street makes ma. e dry votes than all the sDeechs of the president of the anti-saloon league The dive is the greatest enemy the liquor traffic has. Do away with those evils and the vot- CT will quit complaining.
 ''The National Model License League advocates the passage Of a law that will make the saloon keepers continu- ance in business dependable upon their own conduct rather than upon politi- cal pull; that will make the penalty certain and let that penalty for a sec Ond offense be the loss of the license, leaving no discretion to the presiding judge"
