Conspiracy Established

THE evidence in the civil suit is
practically the same as the evidence in
the criminal action said Devote. "It
was necessary for us to prove indu-
bitably that criminal conspiracy ex-
listed to force the Portoia fish company
out of business. We did prove that the
members of the trust, by coercion, by
intimidation and by threats of great
financial loss, put the Portola company
out of business. We did prove the eX-
istence of the trust. Upon this proof
the jury in Judge Hunts court brought
in its verdict.
This evidence. so eminentIy. success
full in one court, will be submitted to
the jury in the criminal cases. 1t can
not fail of conviction. In the criminal
suit we will have even greater latitude.

Judge Hunt limited the testimony TO

which the trust was forcing the Por-

Subject for Speculation.

Whether this was an effort to put the
governor Gin a hole or an indication of
a readiness to "be good" is a subject for
speculation. At any rate, they were not
long content to be thought really favor
able to the governors denomination, for a
few days after both began to talk of
Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate for
governor, apparently in the hope of stir
ring up an enthusiasm for the former
President foil to any popular move
ment which might be started to force
Gov. Hughes again into the campaign.
The popular response, however. did not
seem to be Forthcoming, and there are no
indications that if tie governor were
willing 10 run again the people, who have
come to admire his courage and eff
cheney. would be diverted by SuSges-
ton SO clearly made less out of entbusi-
asm for Mr.. Roosevelt than from a desire
to get the governor out of the way.
1t may be that the politicians, when
they realize that the governor will not be
in the field will think it safe to repeat
the tactics Of the last legislature, al
though recent declarations of the leaders
have seemed to indicate an intention to
adopt most of the governors ideas, even
the direct primary nominations. up TO d
certain point. But they are likely also
to have the fact borne in upon them that
the popular confidence in Gov. Hughes
and his reforms would be equally
troublesome after another session of de-
fiance, even if they were able to nominate
a man of their own sort for governor.

Both suits were begun by the state
with the view of prohibiting the cor

business because of their refusal to nav
the tax.
Fought by Corporations.
The corporations fought the case on the
ground that the law did not apply to
them because of their previously acquired
rights. They also took the position that
if it did apply it was unconstitutional and
therefore not enforcible. The supreme
court of the state upheld the statute
but that judgment was reversed by to-
days decision.
The courts opinion was announced bN

which he had undertaken then led him to
this step, and there is limit to the OBJ

AS he is. The governor is not wealthy.
and he has a family to make provision

each year of his term from his private
property as much as his salary. This
will amount TO $4,000 in the four years.
and it is not to be expected that he

two years more at the very time in his

and when at the practice OF law he
might, in few years, make ample pro-
vision for those dependent upon him.
The cost of occupying the legislative

heavy. The governors friends do not
represent him as taking the position that
