motion in the federal court that the

ed by the court, and Prosser was dis
charged.

federal grand jury CT a statutory
charge preferred by w. c. Hodges.
The trial was commenced this morn,
ing.
In a statement made following the
discharge, of Prossar Special Assistant
Thomas said that one of the witness
les had been considered by him as the
principal witness Tor the government.
This witness testified as to the de-
tails OF offense charged against Pros
ser before the United States Commits
sioner, and also gave testimony be-
fore the federal grand jury when that
body investigated the case, but re-
fused to testify in court this morning.
however, he added.
my motive for asking for directed
verdict was that I did not think the
case sufficient to warrant a conviction
without this testimony" said Mr..
Thomas y.
At the beginning of the trial this
morning Mr.. Thomas entered motion
that the. proceedings of the case be
carried on behind closed doors This
was objected to by Prosser's attorneys,

.STAR,BUlLETIN SERVICE AGAIN
SCORES ON GROUND OF EFFICIENCY
Throng That Blocks Traffic On Hand for Earliest Figures ana
Remains Until "Good Night Flashed Across Screen al
Midniqht-Motion Pictures as An Added Attraction

or man land elections were not shown
on the screen except for brief irter-
walls when high grade motion pictures
were shown for the edifleatiGn of the
large crowd.
Through arrangements with the
Star-Bulletin election service bureau
the returns we're also given at the
Popular theater and at the Ha%aiian
Opera House. At the former the fig
ures were thrown across the screen,
while at the latter, during the inter-
walls in the production Of Mistress
Mary" Gerrit Wilder read the inter.
esting figures to the audience-also
n brief resume Of the situation at the
time OF the reading which was pre-
pared especially for the Mistress
Mary" patrons by the Star-Bulletin
bureau.
The consensus of opinion is that
the returns of last night. as given by
the Star Bulletin, were superior. II
possible. to those given at the pris
maries. Almost continuous was the
applause that greeted the figures
showing the Republican party making
rapid strides towards the election OF
an almost straight" ticket, and. when
the time came to ring down the final
curtain the street was still blocked,
notwithstanding the fact that the
|street-cars had ceased to run and 1t
was necessary for the enthusiastic.
citizens to secure more expensive con.
.veyances for the homeward journey.

aud carry It to the United States sen

The opposition to Oofey was pre-
sented to National Comm itteeman

qualifications for so important a fed
eral post. that he has not the neoes-
sary technical knowledge that Is re-

ness man In the community is not
such as 60 assure the shippers to the

handle the business
It was made plain to Mr.. Elder

No Reduction In
Meat at Harrison

j. A. Pinkerton. mayor Of Harri.
aon, was In this CITY Wednesday. Mr..
Pinkerton was considerably interest.
ed Ia the meat war which Is being
carried on by the Stanton Meat
company against the independent
markets In this city an1 Occur d
Alene.
Mr.. Stanton has complets control
of the retail meat lasrkets In Harri-
son, owning all CT them as we'll as
doing the wholesale business.
Mr.. Pinkertoa says that there las
been no reduction Ia the prices of
meat In that city aud that the people
are still obliged to o,paS the same old
prices that they snr 2 paying before
he tayif was remPe[l- which, &C
iordIng to Mr.. Stant babled him
to get Canadian bees about sl4
less per carcass.
The experience of the people of
Harrison emphasizes the fact which
we have 80 often stated, that where
ever he has complete control of the
;etsil business, Mr.. Stanton charges
the people every cent that he can
srlnR out of them and still have
them continue to use meat. That
neither the tariff nor the absence Of
tar fl or the price that he pays for
meat has anything to do with the
price which he charges. He feels
the same about Harrison as he Is re-
ported to have once stated about st.
Maries: that Il g people of st. Maries
have got to have neat, and they have
got to have my meat and they have
OCT to come 60 the market, pay the
price 1 ask them, carry it home with
them. eat 1t and call 1t good.
The people of Harrison are today
helping to pay Nh. Stanton's ex
penses Ia the war which he Is main
tanning 90 drive the independent
markets o1t OF St. Msrles and Occur
d 'Alene and they will continue to do
SO until an Independent market is
opened in that city.
And the only way that the people
of this city can escsps from paying
tribute to Stanton Is by seeing t. 1t
that be does not succeed Ia his effort
to force the independent markets
out.

Senator Macbeth. "We, and

''The fact of the matter Is that the

the future will have to do much of

lutely necessary that he have the
technical qualifications to be able TO
do this work which we believe Mr..
CoHfey does not have. Shippers have
declared they would not ship to the
Office Ia the event of Mr.. Oofeys' ap
pointment and they stand opposed to

THERE IS NO DEPRESSION"
According to Presidents Advisers.
They Say Business Is Improved.

Washington. -Presiden Wilson, Sec
rotary Tumulty and other white house
officials are immensely pleased with
large number of letters and tele-
grams reaching them from business
houses throughout the country direct
in contradicting the impression that
has been spread forecast that business
is suffering from depression and is
likely to become worse if proposed
trust legislation is not pigeon-holed
and other alleged irritating causes dis
posed of. These communications are
in response to the action of the pres
ident in making public certain circular
letters directed to bring influence to
bear on congress to sidetrack trust
legislation.
If President Wilson's idea that de-
preston is state of mind is cor
rect, then the letters indicated that the
president, by his recent remarks, may
have inaugurated a different state OF
mind" in the business world. At any
rate, the writer's of the letters assert
there is more noticeable improvement
in the business world in the last few
weeks than. for months before and that
t,te records of the great majority or
business houses show better business
for the past six months than for the
