the government. went to the jury to-
day, marking the close OF what has
been one OF the most sensational
timber fraud cases In the history OF
the state. The prosecution closed
with its rebuttal at noon yesterday
and the entire afternoon was con
sumed by the initial arguments OF
both sides, argument being limited
to three hours for the government
and three hours for the defense.
Judge Dietrich announced that the
court would require one hour and a
half in delivering instructions. The
closing arguments were completed
this morning.
The one question upon which the
guilt OF innocence of the accused
rests is whether. or not the alleged
conspiraUors entered into agreement
with entrymen prior to the date on
which they made their filings at the
land Office. All other matters as pre-
sented in evidence by the govern

the stand today as witness before
the investigating committee Oh con-

al and his accusations against secre-
tary Ballinger were strong. He ac-
eased Ballinger OF oYerturning the
conservation policies Of the late

false statements to President Taft
and that the secretary entered upon
the duties Of his ONCE with the in
tention Of making short work Of the
policy Of protecting water power sites
against becoming the property OF
monopolies by passing under their
control. In his testimony regarding
CLAWS he said that he believed CLAWS
to be faithful public servant and
honest In his official acts, while
Secretary Ballinger was a dangerous
enemy to conservation. When the
story has been told. said Pinchot,
and witnesses whom / shall ask you

WHICH CALLED FORTH A VOL
LEY OF CRITICISM.
Gave Him Endorsement Of Many
Grand Army Posts.

The following is the full speech OF
Senator Hepburn delivered in the
senate regarding the loaning Of gov
ernment tents to confederate yeter-
ans: But no speeches in recent
years have attracted the attention Of
this address OF the senior senator
from Idaho. AS taken from the con-
gressional record it is as follows:
Mr.. President, If there are any
senators here now or when this vote
shall be taken who think it is appro-
pirate that the rebel flag should
wave over property of the United
States, by recognition Of congress,
they can vote for the joint resolution
and answer for it. If they believe
that the rebel flag was furled for
ever at Appomattox. they had better
look to their vote. If there are any
senators here who believe that the
rebel nag should be carried under
the recognition and by the assistance
of congress let them vote for this;
and If they do not believe it. let them
look to their vote.

and If they do not believe 1t, let them

Loyalty VIII Endure.
There are millions and millions and
millions OF people in the United
States, north and south, east and
west, who have implanted deep In
their hearts the spirit of loyalty and
patriotism. There are men now who
as boys-as l was in that day-saw
the soldiers OF the nation go forth,
many of whom they never saw come
back, in whose breasts burns not re-
sentiment but love of country and
loyalty, not to some faction, but to
the great nation ana its flag. Is It
not better in this age to teach the
children in all sections of the coun-
try that reward OF loyalty is honor
among men? Does anyone dream
that this generation Is going to apollo
gize to the world for the loyalty
of the men who participated in that
contest of the sons or the grandsons
OF those men! Do not dream that
you can do 1t and that the people
will let 1t pass by. they will not.

At its last session the Grand Army
of the Republic passed resolution re-
commencing to Congress the extern
sion of the widows pension act so as
to include all who at the time of the
husbands death had maintained mari
tai relations with him for three years.
This Is wholly unreasonable. The
present law requires that the widow
must have married the soldier prior
to July 81. 1880. The extension would
bring the law up to the present date,
so that If a veteran ninety years of age
married girl of twenty-as some have
done--thc widow OF this man would
be entitled for the rest of her life 10
a liberal pension allowance, and might
draw pension nifty years from now
The object OF the present law Is 70
prevent veterans from marrying adj
venturesses and irresponsible young
women with a purpose distinctly OBJ
noxious TO public policy. In an over
whelming majority OF cases, the mar
rage of an octogenarian to much
younger woman is really not mar
rage at all.
No discriminatory line can be drawn
if the extension be enacted into
law. The old law should stand. The
