Judge Connolly advised the jury
that the State must prove beyond a
reasonable doubt three facts: The Ii
bel, circulation Of it In this county,
and that the respondent circulated it.
He also pointed out that, even in
cases Of criticism of officials, un-
truthful criticisms are punishable
while proper criticism is encouraged.
The defense contended that the arti-
Gle was just criticism.
The case was given into the hands
Of the jury shortly before noon.
The alleged libel was contained In
an article published in the Christian
Civic League Record last fall, which
resulted in the arrest of Dr. Berry,
who is superintendent of the Christian
civic League Of Maine, and the sub
seouent finding Of two Indictments
against him.
He was tried on one of the indict-
ments. The other was based on
statement in another article In the

Representative Adamson said today
that the foreign commerce committee. of
which he is chairman, undoubtedly would
report the free tolls suspension bill to
the House favorably, but that this ac-
ton would be held UP pending definite
word from President Wilson.
Some senators indicated today that the
President would urge repeal Of the free
toll provision, but those who talked to
the President either did not divulge or
were not certain what course the Chief
Executive would pursue
Many Republican senators led by Sem
ator Root are known to coincide with the
view that free tolls constitute a. viola
ton of the treaty. while several Demo-
Gratis who voted for free tolls said today
they were amenable to reason" and
would be glad to hear from the Presi-
dent.
Senator Chiffon OF West Virginia, who
championed the exemption provision, said
he had studied the treaty question care
fully and had come to the conclusion
that the canal act did not violate the
treaty.
Senator Page of Vermont, a Republic
can member Of the canal committee, said
he always had been opposed to the ex-
emption of American ships from the ca
nal tolls, but he expressed the belief
that the majority of the canal commit
tee would take firm stand to uphold the
law an it stands.

CHARLES L. SEAsHoLEs.

During one of his summer vacations
and while he was attending school,
DR. Charles L. Seasholes, who is to
lecture here on the Chautauqua, sold
books in the backwoods of West Vir-
ginia the country of blacksnakes, and
where he had to look under his pillow
every night to see whether or not a
snake had not taken quarters there,
Returning one night to the little
cabin where he was staying, Seas
holes found the old lady complaining
that she had lost a calf. One of the
boys suddeningly remembered that he
had left the gate by the we'll open, so
taking lantern they went there, Sure
enough, at the bottom of the we'll was
the calf. They decided to lower a
negro named Sam into the we'll to
bring to the calf up. Sam was scared,
fearing the snakes, and when the calf
began to bawl he refused to bulge.
Threats and pleadings were alike
so Seasholes tied the rope
around himself and was lowered into
the well. He could hear some hiss
ings the dark, but succeeded in tying
the rope around the calf and getting
it out safely. He says the kissing in
creased until he thinks he jumped up
and met that rope coming down after
him.
