Valparaiso. Ind, June 9-The de-
Tense in the Gary election cases, which
are on trial before Special Judge
Charles Hanly of this city. has reveal
ed the nature of its defense
The riotous conduct which disgraced
Gary at tn last general election was
due to the fact that Thomas Grant
and Chief of Police Joseph d. Martin
were such heated rivals.
The theory of the defense is that
when a contest for a political Office be-
comes heated that very fact ought to
excuse infractions of the law. assaults
and alleged attempts at murder.
1t IL on this theory that the defense
is going about its task of clearin g
Dog Face Charley" an imported thug,
and a number OF the othr defendants
in these cases.
Another very interesting and IL
Eliminating statement is that it was
necessary to guide the ignorant
foreign voters In Gary by the gentle
art OF beating them up just before
they went in to vote
At least this is what the defense

AUDITOR
OCCUPIES
THE STAND

But two witnesses have been called
In the case of the State of Indiana VS..
John Caldwell, charged with being one
of the several alleged conspirators who
padded the payrolls of the Indiana
Steel Co. at Gary.
The first witness was Edward Hall. a
Gary attorney, and the other is L w.
McNamee. the auditor of the company.
McNamee has been on the stand since
will not be completed for several days
McNamees testimony was principal
ly in explanation of the elaborate sys-
tenn that is employed by the Indiana
Steel Co. for the prevention of fraud.
1t is necessary for the jurors to have
an intimate knowledge of this system
before they can understand how the
alleged conspirators succeeded in beat
ing it.
The state declares that Il has Its best
case against John Caldwell, the last
of the defendants to be tried. The de-
Tense. however, is confident that it will
be able to clear Caldwell.
The case promises to be Iona
drawn out affair and 1T is believed tina,
it will not be completed before the end
of the present term of court One OF
the principal questions which came ur
yesterday involved the admission OF
certain checks as exhibits in the case
The defense objected but the objections
were overruled.

NE. l nevertheless believe that the
stockmen who have SO vigorously
contested the Governments posi-, ion
will feel that they have been
fairly dealt with both by the depart
ment and the courts.
In the second case, known as
the Grimaud case, the contention of
the stockmen was that the Act of
Congress, under which the Secre-
tary Of Agriculture is authorized to
make regulations for the National
forests, was unconstitutional in so
far as it delegated to the Secretary
of Agriculture the power to make
rules and regulations and made a
violation thereof penal offense.
The unanimous decision of the case
is exceptionally clear-cut and final.
The power of Congress to authorize
the Secretary to establish such reg
ulations for the administration of
these forests is absolute, the court
holding that Congress had the full
power to authorize the Secretary to
make these regulations and enforce
them. The punishment was fixed by
Congress and the Secretary's regula-
lions merely provided the methods
of enforcing the law and, in the
event of it's violation, of applying
the penalty fixed by the law. AS
the court in it's decision says, the
Secretary is authorized to regulate
the occupancy and use and to pre-
serve the forests from destruction. ;
violation of reasonable rules reg
ulating the use and occupancy of
the property is made a crime. not
by the Secretary, but by Congress-
The statute, not the Secretary
fixes the penalty"
Il feel very certain" the Secre-
tary stated, now that these ques-
tons are so definitely settled, that
We shall have no further trouble in
regulating the use of National for
est ranges by live stock. Indeed we
have had very little for some time.
because the stockmen themselves,
although originally inclined to re-
sent the Interference of the Govern
ment with their long uncontrolled
use of the lands now within these
forests, have, recently. accepted the
situation and are rapidly realizing
that their occupancy of these grazing
lands is vastly more satisfactory
under present conditions than it
was in the old days when these
areas were open to all corners and
il was a constant struggle to OBJ
tain feed for their herds"

The sporting editor read what his
wrath grew apace, says Judge This
is how some of it read:
Then Carl Smith went to bat,
missed two balls and hit the third
knocking it just between the second
baseman and the shortstop. Imme-
diately afterward he made first base
safely. Jones. who had been on
first ran to second, while Carney
ran home from third, scoring the
second run of the game
What does that sort of gibberish
all mean anyway?' stormed the
sporting editor. Il was there myself
and saw the game and know very
well that in the inning he refers to
nothing of the sort happened. Why
that was the session in which Slew
foot Smitty wiped his bat on the

the third pill, laid it down between
the No. 2 hill and the guardian angel
of the infield, beat it to the initial
sack, sending Hefty Jones to No.

Whether the insurrection in Mex
leo leads to Intervention by the
United States or not, most Americans
whose lot has been cast in that more
or less Undesirable country, will no
doubt wish for it. Much American
capital has been invested in Mexico
and many Americans have been ad-
venturous enough to to go there
for employment and to seek fortune
despite the fact that they have never
been looked upon faborably by either
the Mexican government or the Mex
lean people. I he government has
satisfied itself by getting much of it,
support, financially, from the Ameri'
can capital invested, while its min
ions have stood ready to graft or
knife, as the occasion might require.
Few Americans or those of other
white races have regard for the
Mexican. What chivalry he possesses
came from his Spanish blood. His
treachery, cruelty, laziness and gen
eral deviltry are a combination OF
both his Spanish and Indian blood.
His politics is a fever which has
never been held in check SO long be
fore as by Diaz. There are no
doubt a score of leaders today ready
to assassinate Madero, just to take
chance at the presidency. The rev.
olutonary spirit which has broken
out with all it's heat after the years
of restraint will, unless curbed by a
strong power, be a continual whirl
from one leader to another, making
Mexico a riot of rapine, murder and
outlawry, where property, title and
interests will be held cheap as life
itself. Intervention of course, has
it's grave side, for the whole terri
tory would not only have to be gar
risoned, but policed. But it is a
thing which promises, and that i'm
mediately, to form very long page
in the history making of the United
States. 1t means that or for every
American interest in Mexico to be
abandoned-a thing scarcely to be
thought of when we consider the To-
cation of such territory adjoining
our own.

Secretary Wilson Discusses
Late Range Decisions.


Washington, May 19.-The deci-
sions handed down by the Supreme
Court on May 1, concerning the
right of the Government to control
grazing on the National Forests are
OF great interest to Western people,
and especially to the Western stock
man. The right of the Government
to control it's own lands within the
various states and territories is so
clearly defined that it is regarded
by Secretary Wilson as establishing
absolutely the position these lands
occupy under the law. Il am very
sure said Secretary Wilson today,
that the stockmen of the west, as
well as the western people general
ly, will accept this decision of the
Supreme Court at it's full worth and
that the controversy which has here
tofore existed regarding the right
to use the grazing lands within the
various National forests without
permit from the Department of
Agriculture will be brought to an
end.
THE two cases decided were the
so-called Light case, which originat-
ed in Colorado, and the case of
the United States against Grimaud,
Garajous and linda, three California
stockmen. In the Light case one
of the principle issues Joined was on
the question whether the fence laws
of the state must be complied with
in order that the United States
might sustain action for trespass
on the National forests. The Cali
fornia case concerned the question
whether violation of the National
forest regulations is punishable as
a crime.
Light is a Colorado stockman,
who, in 1906, turned his cattle loose
on public land adjacent to the Holy
Cross National forest in such a way
that they would naturally drift up
on National forest lands. Mr.. Light
refused to take any steps to pre-
vent this and also refused to take
out grazing permit. 1t was main
tanned by Lights lawyers that, in
asmuch as the laws of Colorado do
not allow a private person any
remedy against owners of stock
which stray upon his land unless
the land is fenced, the Government
is without redress. An injunction
was secured from the District Court
requiring Mr.. Light so to handle his
stock as to prevent them from tres
passing upon the National forests.
Mr.. Light, however, refused to do
this. and, with the backing of other
stockmen of his state and, eventu-
ally, of the State of Colorado itself,
which made special appropriation
for the purpose, carried the case up
to the Supreme Court for final de-
cision.
'In the effort to establish the con-
tention that the Government was
wrong, not only the validity of
the grazing regulations but the
constitutionality of the entire Ma
tional forest policy was challenged
on every ground which the counsel
representing the stock interests and
the state were able to raise. The
fact that their contentious were,
one after the other, set aside by
clear-cut statements of the law Is
a matter of extreme satisfaction to
