JURY TAKES
CENSUS CASE

The defense sprang surprise
on the government this morning
and brought the census case to an
early close by refusing to argue
to the jury. After District Attor-
ney Todd had made his opening
plea, leaving the rear rgument to
Special Prosecutor Newton, the
defense refused to argue and the
case was over.
Judge Rudkin started to charge
the jury at 1 o'clock. His early
remarks were decidedly favorable
to the defendants, Watts and
Kelly. He said the crime charged
was conspiracy and even IL 1t were
shown each individually had given
fictitious names to an enumeration
to put on the list, unless it could
be shown there was some under
standing to falsify the records the
crime of conspiracy would not
hold against them.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. March
27.-Wholesale charges Of fraud
were made by Col. Theodore
Roosevelt at Canton, Ohio, today
when he was shown dispatches
indicating that President Taft had
