At 8 o'clock this afternoon the Jury

on. The case had been on trial since
early Wednesday morning.

railroad by Oscar Stone was halted
when the regular venire was exhaust
ed, Attorney W. P. Strait for the rail
road declining to agree to the sum
moning OF bystanders as jurors, and
the court was awaiting the return of
the jury in the Snow case.

said to have worked as detective
in Conway several weeks ago and un-
earthed considerable evidence of vio-
lations of the gaming and liquor laws,
arrived last night and appeared be-
fore the grand jury this morning. He
was in the grand jury room only
about half hour. No further in
dictments have been returned today,
but grand juror stated that Prose
cutting Attorney g. c. Boyle is draft
ing big batch which will probably
be returned this afternoon or tomor-
row

.ERzBERCER POLICY
R0uSES GERMANY

Berlin, Aug. Accommodating on the
interview given by Matthias Erzberger,
leader of the Clerical center in the
German reichstag, to Zurich editor
last week when the deputy was quot.
ed as saying that if he could talk to
Premier Lloyd George and Foreign
Secretary Balfour he could reach an
understanding regarding peace of a
few hours, the Vossiche Zeitung says:
1--WE desire to protest most strenu
ously against having the impression
60 abroad that the Erzberger state
ments are symptomatic of German set
timent.
1--WE especially protest against such
utterances being made at a time when
the well nigh deserted foreign Office
is prevented from promptly and thor
oughly disowning Erzbergers politics
cor it is possible that an impress
sion should be created abroad that
Erzberger is but foreshadowing the
coming politics of Wilhelmstrasse."
