SEVERAL MORE CASES
TRIED.
Ener Halverson Acquitted. In the
Braatz Case the Jury Disagreed
Other Cases Coming on.

The case e The state of Wisconsin
against Enes Hslyerson, in which the
latter was charged with procuring
and giving to minor, Intoxicating
liquors in the saloon of Frank Fisher,
was tried before jury in municipal
court Friday and resulted in the dis
charge of the defendant. The testi-
mony produced by the state was in
affect, that Halverson on the 18th
day of December of last year. pur-
chased for and gave to drink to
Martha Tress ''high-ball." which
drink the state claimed contained an
Intoxicating liquor. The defense on
the other hand showed that the "high-
ball'' was a soft drink, containing
nothing but ginger ale, a little lemon
and small chunk of ice. The states
witness, who is minor only seven
teen years af age, had at the investi-
CATION in juvenile court several weeks
ago testified that on the specified
date she had been treated by Halver-
son to "high-ball" containing an in
toxicating liquor, which made her
dizzy, but at the trial on Friday she
only remembered that the drink con-
tanned ginger, and consequently the
jury took it for granted that it was
only soft drink which she procured
at the time, pronouneing Halyerson
innocent of the charge. The jury
was composed of the following: G. w.
Borowitz, A. III. Zimmerman, III. G.
Tank, Allan Mccormick ST., Emil
Eggebrecht.

The case of the state against Robert
Braatz, who conducts saloon on the
corner of Scott and Second streets, in
the basement under the Radandt Fur
niture Co. S store, and in which the
charge was, that defendant allowed
minors to loiter about his place of bus
mess, was tried Saturday before jury
consisting of four citizens, they being
Otto Mueller, G. B. Mayer, A. Il. Halder
and James Haskin, the attorneys on
both sides agreeing to try the case with
that number of jurors. The state
brought in four witnesses who all
agreed on the testimony that on the
31st day of December of lastyear two
girls under the age of twenty-one years
had spent about an hour in the wine
room of the Braatz saloon in company
with two young men. For the defense
Mr.. BraatZ and his bartender testified
that they kept no wine room, that the
room the young people were in was
used as sitting room for farmers fam
lilies when they come to town and put
up their teams at the Braatz barn, and
further that at the time the witnesses
were in the place the gas was
burning dimly and they all APP
peared as if they were of age.
In behalf of the defendant several
business men also testified that they
had known him for many years and
had always found that he kept an or
derby and quiet place of business. The
jury deliberated for over an hour on
the case, finally notifying Judge Mar
chetti that they could not agree on
verdict, and were discharged. A date
for the retrial of the case has not yet
been set.

The thirty-eight men who were In

year did unusually we'll in securing
positions. Every man OF them VINO
wanted a place, got it, yet none OF them
had more than the nine months of spe-

man was given place as buttermaker

Or. ALBERT SHAW DiscussEs
ACTION OF CHICAGO
CONVENTION.
SAYS TAFT MEN OFFERED
70 NOMINATE CUMMING
Leaders In Control Of Convention
Nsvsr Expected to Name Taft
Iowa senator Could Easily Have
Seen Named Had He essn Willing
TO Accept Tainted Nomination.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, July 31-Iowa prosres.
eives were interested this week In the
review Of the Chicago convention Of
June by DR.. Albert Shaw in the Re-
view Of Reviews and what that dis
tinguished former Iowan had to say
abount the conuoverted question Al
to the possibility OF Senator Cummina
having been nominated. Dr.. Shaw de-
clares that '.the leaders Of the Taft
forces had never really intended to
nominate their candidate" and that
after having secured control they hit
upon offering to support Hadley. and
them.
They then turned to the best COM
promise suggestion Of all, and offered
to nominate Senator Cummtns OF Iowa.
Cummins had been read out Of the re-
publican party, with all the ceremon-
les Of accommodation. by Taft's adj
ministration; and he and his late coll
league. Senator Deliver. had fought the
administration with moro fervor, In
dustry. and sincerity of opposition. and
contempt than any other two men in
the republican party. But Senator
Cummins-who would have made an
admirable candidate If these leaders
had espoused his cause some months
earlier, and who would have then been
acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt and to all
the progressives-would have nothing
to do with a nomination suggested
after the convention had been or
sanized by sharp practice under the
Influences that had also cheated Mr..
Cummins out of the delegates that
ought to have been his from the state
of Iowa. Neither would Senator La
Toilette or his supporters entertain the
idea of nomination at the hands OF
a convention that had been so tainted
in its organization. A point was
reached where, in their distress. q good
many OF the Taft delegates would have
voted for Roosevelt himself-ceTtainly
enough to have secured his nomination
il he could have permitted his own
delegates to cooperate
This last phase Of the case. that dis
loyalty to Taft was SO pronounced
among his professed followers thai
even Roosevelt could have been nom
mated. was evident to more than one
visitor from Iowa to the convention. II
lie certain that II Cummfns had beer
willing to have taken nomination
which would have been tainted and tbs
Roosevelt delegates could have beer
got to vote for him, he would easily
have been nominated. The Review Of
