Court Denies Defense
Motion For Instructed
Acquittal Verdict.

The state rested its case against
Sheriff G.. l.. Gillett this morning in
superior court when District A tor
ney Elmer Head added several
minor exhibits as evidence and then
told the court he had finished.
Defense Attorney Ernest X. Utley
Immediately arose and asked tha6
Judge A. g. Finney Instruct the jury
TO bring in verdict of acquitta;.
This motion was promptly denied by
the judge. Utley made "A motion 20
require the districe attorney to elect
on which of the larger indictments
the prosecution would stand.
Jadgc finney replied he would not
require the state to 80 elect at this
time but indicated he might do so
after Ghe defense had finished witt.
its witnesses or before that.
TIE jury was then recalled and
the defense opened its ease by plac-
ing Former District Attorney Ernest
Il. Simon on the stand. Simon had
been in the wimess chair less thGn
half hour when the state objecte,
to certain parts OF his testimony
and the district attorney asked for
10 minutes i, look up certain points
OF law.
This was allowed but later Heald
requested additional time and it was
mo-, until after O'Clock this after
noon that the trial was resumed.
Utley, one of the defense attor-
neys stated this morning he would
use what witnesses he thoughC neees-
sary to show that the sheriff had
acted in office in tTe manner he
believed correct and that he would
eEdeavor to complete vhe testimony
in Just as short time as possible.
There is no possibility, however,
that the trial will end this. week and
it will probably be ;a-e next week
before the jury finally gets the ease
The defense will PROBABLY use Mon
day and Tuesday and perhaps part
of next Wednesday to complete

is shown shat the sheriff had per-

GOVERNMENT TO
SPEND BIG SUM
FOR PROHIBITION
Total of Fifty Million
Required By Enforce
ment Agencies.
By CECIL OWEN
ted Press Staff Correspondel

WASHINGTON, July IL. U.R)--
An increasingly vigorous and ex
tensive prohibition enforcement
policy by the federal government
is indicated by budget estimates
for the fiscal year 1880 now being
prepared by the treasury depart
ment.
All three divisions of the treasury
engaged in prohibition work, Gus
toms service, coast guard and pro
hibition bureau, received addition
al funds for this fiscal year in a
supplemental appropriation passed
at the last regular session Of cong
ress.
While the prohibition bureau is
asking for continuation of the
$1,700,000 additional amount allot
ted to it above the normal appro
priation of $13,500,000, both the
customs service and coast guard are
seeking larger amounts for the nexl
fiscal year, it was learned today.
This may make the cost of fed
eral prohibition in the fiscal yea,
1880, which begins next June 81
and ends June 80, 1881, in excess
of $5O,OOO,OOO if the $10,000,000 ali
nually spent by the justice depart
ment is included.
Because of the rigid economy
program recently announced by
President Hoover who desires tt
keep the 1881 budget within the
total of the last year in the Coo;
idge administration, it was indica
ted at the treasury the customs
service and coast guard may have
to forego their increased funds mex;
year.
The prohibition bureau, which is
under the direction of Commissioner
James M. Doran, has asked fol
about the same amount it received
this year, or $15,000,000. Thi.
years appropriation for the coast
guard was $29,6776,0O0, and the
customs service received $43,1S0,
500. These two latter figures d.
not represent entirely prohibition
expenditures but cover the entir

In view of the stress the admins
tration has laid on lay enforcement
recently, it is considered probably
the requests of the coast guard ant
customs for extra funds will be
given as much consideration as pos
sible by the budget bureau.

of the administration law obser

YLNC CASE HALTS
FOR RECEIPT OF
CAPITAL ADVICE
Correspondence Seized
Is Sent To Washington
As Evidence.

SAN FRANCISCO, July II. W.P)
Federal officials here today await
ed instructions from Washington be-
fore taking further steps in the case
of Mrs. Ying Kao in whose luggage
a large quantity of opium and other
contraband was discovered.
United States Attorney George
Hatfield has inquired of the attor-
ney general if he should place the
wife of the local Chinese vice con
sui under arrest and if he should
seek the arrest of others said to be
involved in the smuggling scandal.
According to federal officials,
"incriminatingo evidence connect
ing others with the case has been
found in correspondence discovered
in Mrs. Ying's luggage.
The correspondence was in Chin
ese and has been translated and
photostatic copies of the originals
sent to Washington, Hatfield admit
ted. 1t will be up to the attorney
general to decide if Mrs. Ying be
prosecuted here or whether the mat
ter be made one of diplomatic ac-
tion.
Federal Judge Harold Louderback
last night took under advisement an
application by attorneys of Mrs.
Wing asking for an injunction to
restrain government officials from
further examination of her personal
papers and an order for their return
to her.
Mrs. Wing has apparently taken
the entire case without great appre-
hension. She continues to insist that
the opium consignment and valuable
laces brought into the country by
her were believed by her to be
gifts to relatives of her Chinese
friends.
WASHINGTON July II. U.H -
A peculiar legal situation saves
Mrs. Susie Ying Kao, beautiful
Chinese woman found with large
quantity of opium in her luggage
in San Francisco, from the threat OF
the headsman g sword of her OWL
! country, it was disclosed today.
There is no extradition treaty
with China, so the only possible
prosecution lies with justice depart
ment officials who may proceed un
der the anti;smuggling laws or the
Harrison act, which provides lone
prison sentences for mere possession
Of opium not stamped by revenue
officials.
Tho threat of. beheading arose
with the demand of San Francisco
Chinese nationalists that Mrs. Yins
Kao be returned to China for pun
ishment. In China smugglers anC
particularly opium dealers frequent
ly are behcaded.
Customs officials have turned
their evidence over to justice Off
cials for prosecution if it is deemec
best, and a report is expected sooi
at the state department on the case
Meanwhile, Mrs. Wing Kao's hus

his duties pending disposition OF
the charges against his wife.
Although Wing has been in th'
United States five years and die

no indication that they intended to

They continued to cruise always

U.RThe staunch motor of the BIZ

it started pounding out worlds en-

In message dropped to the air
port here just as the PIG hour mark
was passed, Loren Mendell and
"Pete 'Reinhart, pilots of the An
geleno, stated "the engine is get
ting trifle noisy
They preceded the remark with
an optimistic "we can make 300
hours easy" but motor experts at
the field believed that the increased
sound possibly indicated that the
Angeleno was nearing the end of
its sustained flight.
"We can make 800 hours easy, -
the message from the pilots read.
"The motor is getting trifle noisy
but not too bad. Had some trouble
with the oil pump last night but
clearing up now.'
To reach 800 hours of continuous
flight, Mendell and Reinhart must
stay aloft until 1880 p. m. Sunday.
They passed the 216 hour mark
and entered their tenth day of fly
ing at 1880 a. m. today. At that
time they already had been in the
air 43 hours longer than anyone be-
fore them.
Mendell and Reinhart had anoth-
er hectic session with fog last night.
By remaining in the air despite the
fog the flyers took a chance on los
