cities on the southern Mexican coast,
attempted today to seize the barracks

dispatches from the seat of trouble.
Government officials admit that
soldiers have deserted to the insurgent
ranks on promise of unlimited loot, but
say the federal forces in Tabasco are
still strong enough to handle the situa-
tion. Most of the insurrectos are In
dians.
At Oaxaca, in the state OF the same

siege by an Indian and bandit army.
A number of small ranchers have had
their places looted. and many poems

method of murder by the rebels Is to
tie the victim to a tree and leave him 10

PLEASED WITH SITUATION
THROUGHOUT THE STATE

In speaking of his trip throughout
the north, Judge Bulge is most en-
thusiastic over the reception on ev-
cry hand, and was assured of the
warmest support in his candidacy for
the supreme bench. The papers from
the north verify this statement, and 1t
appears that the judge will have vir-
tually smooth sailing in landing the
nomination.
Il could not have heard more graf
flying expressions anywhere said
the judge, and while there are 9TH
err candidates in the field, and under
those circumstances the average in
dividual is prone to be a little re-
ticent in expressing or committing
himself, it was somewhat of a pleas
ant surprise to me to. find the great
number of warm supporters I have
in the north, and these expressions
come not only from men affiliated
with politics in one way or another,
but from all sides of the fence. The
situation Is amply satisfactory, l can
assure you"
Throughout eastern Idaho the same
expression is heard. Judge Bulge is
regarded, as the proper man for the
supreme bench, and his talents, abil-
itX 2and experience entitle him to the
nomination, and once the. nomination
is assured there is NO doubt to be en-
tertained Regarding the election. His
success. is certain, and is deserved

Why Juries Fail to Convict.

The New York World ventures the
assertion that the reason juries sell
dom convict under the criminal
clause OF the Sherman antitrust law
is that they find the government only
half-heartedly forcing prosecution
under that clause. The govern
ment's apparent lack OF confidence
in the law has Its effect upon the
Jury.
There has been good deal Of
complaint at the general failure Of
juries to convict in other cases be-
sides those brought under the Sher-
man law. At the same time and in
this same connection criticism is
made OF the Importance courts and
counsel give to the technique Of the
law. Is II not possible that this at
titude has its influence upon juries
to a very large eKtent7 The layman
In the Jury box is naturally guided,
more or less. in his view OF legal
questions, OF the guilt or innocence
OF defendant. OF the equity of a
civil cause. by the attitude of the
professional men upon the bench and
at the bar. II they give undue prom
inence to the technical aspects Of the
question, is not their example likely
to influence the Juror, consciously
or unconsciously?
or course. the juror must hold out
for evidence that convinces him be-
yond reasonable doubt before he Is
justified in returning his verdict. but
Is Il not possible that often his own
mind Is made up on the side OF con-
yiction and he is only deferred from
passing in his verdict accordingly
by the attitude OF the court and the
emphasis OF some OF the counsel on
the side OF the laws technically?
Juries must be allowed some lati-
tude when they see courts and law
yers straining and stretching every
technical principle of the law almost
to the breaking point.
