1908 10 THE MORNING. OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, AUtrUST 1, wLL BOOTH CASE GO TO JURY TODAY Becker and Malarkey Present Long Closing Arguments in Conspiracy Trial. Counsel for Iefcnse Depends Solely on Showing That Conspiracy Was Not Proved, Having Pre sented Xo Evidence. For over seven hours yesterday, the ju rors In the Booth-SinRleton conspiracy case listened to the closing arguments of counsel. United Slates Attorney Mc Court made the opening: argument for th Government, talking for about two hours. He was followed by Dan J. Mai larkey. who made the only address for the defense. Mr. Malarkey oc cupied the entire afternoon and also the night session which Judge Wol verton decided to hold In order that the case might be expedited. Tracy C. Becker will close the argument for the prosecution today. It is expected the arguments will be concluded late this aft ernoon so that Judge Wolverton can give his Instructions and submit the case to the Jury today. When court convened yesterday. Judge TVoIverton announced a modification of his ruling respecting the testimony of Deputy United States Marshal Griffith. On his examination as a witness for the Government, the Deputy Marshal told of having been requested by T. E. Singleton to procure a loan of $20 for Agee in the year 1900. When he ex pressed some doubts as to the ability of Are to repay the money, witness tes tified that Singleton assured him "the boys." meaning Robert A. and James Henry Booth, would guarantee the repay ment of the loan. Court Reverses Its Ruling. At the time this testimony was offered, counsel for the defense objected, insist ing that Its effect should be limited and not binding either on Robert A. or James Henry Booth. The objection was over ruled but Judge Wolverton said yester day that he believed he had erred in denvlng the request of counseffor the de fense. Ha Instructed the Jury that it should not consider tne testimony of Griffith as extending to or affecting the Booths, that the testimony should be considered only as relating to Singk-ton. In summing up the evidence presented by the Government. Mr. McCourt made an earnest and forceful address. He re viewed the testimony of 1. Thomas Agee. the Government s principal witness and on whose statements the prosecution re lied largely for a conviction, and charged that In all Important particulars his tes timony had been corroborated by the other witnesses. He asserted that the testimony had gone to show that Agee had not lived to exceed three years on his tend In the forest reserve and that he had no right to contract to sell the land until after he had perfected title and se cured title. Singleton's Part In Deal. Singleton was portrayed as the agemt of the Booth-Kelly Uimber Company who ngineered the transaction by which Agee exchanged his forest reserve land for the lieu land which he afterwards sold to the lumber company. The Dis trict Attorney Insisted that James Henry Booth was associated with the alleged conspiracy for the reason that as Re ceiver of the Roseburg Land Office he prepared all the necessary papers and conducted the money transactions by which Agee was paid for the land. It was Insisted that Robert A. Booth was also directly associated with the conspir acy In that he was present when Agee presented the deed transferring the prop erty and the checks. Issued In connection with the transaction, were signed by Booth as manager of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. Having not Introduced a syllable of tes timony to controvert the evidence sub mitted by the Government. It remained for Dan J. Malarkey. of counsel for the defense, to point out wherein the prose cution had failed to establish its case against the defendants and prove the charge of conspiracy alleged In the Indict ment. Mr. Malarkey spoke at consider able length and with even more Intense earnestness than he did In concluding the argument In the James Henry Booth case a month ago. He reviewed the testi mony of the Government's witnesses thoroughly and declared that the charge contained In the Indictment had not been sustained. Mr. Malarkey questioned seriously the credibility of the Government's chief wit ness. Agee, and commented on the un usual fact that the , memory of this wit ness appeared remarkably clear and posi tive as to events that happened 15 years ago while he was unable to testify re garding Incidents of a more recent date and relating to the same transaction. Counsel maintained that the testimony of Agee was vitally different from that of the other witnesses. He asserted em phatically that the Government had failed to connect either of the three defendants with the alleged conspiracy for which they were on trial.

TAKES OUT NEW POLICIES As Protection Is Needed Without De lay, City HaJl, Jail, Fire boat and Engine-House Will Be Covered. Portland, as a city, may discontinue insurance with the many Insurance companies, create a fund of its own and take over its fire risks. Mayor Lane and members of the Executive Board, In a special session yesterday afternoon, expressed themselves strongly In favor- of. this plan, and later may endeavor to secure its adop tion. In the meantime, insurance of $50,000 was ordered placed on the City Hall; $20,000 on the flreboat George H. Williams; $5000 on the flrehouse connected with the boat .and not to exceed $6000 on the City Jail. On motion of Thomas G. Greene, the Executive Board voted to have nothing whatever to do with those companies which repudiated their risks In the San Francisco earthquake and fire. It was the strong sentiment of all the members, as well as Mayor Lane, that these companies should be barred from all business with the city, and they will receive no consideration in this matter. City Hall Not Protected. Strange as it may seem, there is not a particle of flre-flghtlng apparatus In the City Hall, a building which, ac cording to the members of the Execu tive Board, cost $400.-000. This fact developed during the discussion on fire Insurance. There was some difference of opinion as to the question of In surance for the building. Richard Wilson, of the City Hall committee, held it to be unwise to place more than $28,000 on the structure. How ever, the majority of the members be lieved that, if the property is to be Insured at all, there should be $50,000 placed on it, and this was ordered. When the matter of fire protection for the City Hall was being discussed, R. L. Sabin Inquired as to whether there is any equipment for fighting fire in the building, and he was assured there is none not even an extin guisher or a reel of hose. The board ordered 600 feet of hose to be placed In the various lavatories and also or dered the purchase of six Babcock ex tinguishers, three to be used at the City Jail and three to bo used at the City Hall. Jail Would Be Xo loss. "I think, as long as we are consid ering insurance," said Mr. Greene, chairman of the police committee, "we should place some on the old City Jail and then pray for fire." "It would be a blessing, I guess. If the old thing would burn down," said Mayor Lane, "but it would bo asking too much of Providence." As to. the advisability of creating a special fund for the purpose of taking over the city's risks, instead of con tinuing the present policy of insuring in various companies. Mayor- Lane and various members of the board agreed that It would be a wise move. It was decided, however, that some insurance must be placed at once. During the discussion of the ad visability of equipping the City Hall with apparatus for fire-fighting, Mr. Greene expressed himself as of the be lief that this should be done at once. "I would respectfully suggest," said Mr. Greene, "that we install an auto matic sprinkler over the Council cham bers," whereat there arose a hearty laugh.

PUCKERS SEEK PERMITS WAXT TO OPERATE SIjACGH-TER-HOUSES IX CITY LIMITS. Others Think if Zimmerman Plant Can Run, They Should Be Granted Equal Favors. There are Indications that there will be several applications for permits to slaughter in the corporate limits of Portland, when the City Council meets Wednesday, August 12. Inasmuch as the old Zimmerman plant, located on the Macadam road, in Fulton. Is and has long been In operation on a spe cial permit, It is said there are others who want equal privileges. If the Zimmerman plant can run, notwith standing the city ordinances. It is argued by these applicants, everyone should be allowed to butcher in the city limits. There is a city ordinance which for bids slaughtering in the corporate lim its, but this has not availed to stop the old Zimmerman packing-house, now owned and operated by Schwarz schlld & Sulzberger, the Chicago pack ers, who recently took charge. - They are conducting the establishment by virtue of a permit granted by the City Council to L. Zimmerman, which, by some. Is alleged to be Illegal. Its status is to be determined by the State Supreme Court, the matter having been taken there on appeal. Possession being "nine points of the law," it Is believed by many that Schwarzschild & Sulzberger will be able to continue in operation In their pres ent plant, especially as the majority of the residents of that section of the city are willing they should. No offi cial statement could be secured from the company yesterday, except "It is the Intention to remain In business in Portrand forever and operate a pack ing plant." However, the more direct public in terest Just at this time centers about the probable opening of more slaughter houses and packing-houses In various portions of the city. If the large in dependent packers can operate their plant In Fulton, It is said, the munici pality Is powerless to stop any indi vidual or set of individuals opening a similar establishment at any spot In Portland and operating It. The situation is such that It Is bound to cause much anxiety among residents throughout the city, the probability be ing that men who wish to operate slaughtering pens will soon be seek ing permits from the Council. If the Council refuses permits, it Is said the applicants can proceed regardless, since the Fulton establishment Is un molested, each Individual having the same rights under the law. In other words. It is the privilege of any one to start a slaughter-house In the' city at any time unless the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger plant Is forced to close also. CLUB FAVORS HEW SITE WOULD BOLD BRIDGE AT EAST MILL- STREET.. After Long Discussion, Broooklyn Organization Decides Madison Street Is Xot Best Location. The Brooklyn Republican and Im provement Club favor, relocating the Madison bridge at East Mill and East Second streets on the East Side and Clay and Front streets on the West Side. A. "Van Hommlssen, chairman of the bridge committee of the club, sub mitted a report! Thursday night favor ing these landings, and setting forth that they would enable the bridge to be carried over all car tracks. He con tended that the proposed $460,000 bond issue is not sufficient for an adequate bridge at any point. He held that tne proposal to relocate the bridge at the points named is favored by West Side business men and said that he had re ceived many letters commending him for the stand he had' taken. Waldemar Seton argued against the club going on. record In favor of any particular location. He said that while the $450,000 bond issue carried in 1907, if another and heavier bond Issue should be submitted to the people, it might be voted down. Mr. Seton said that the people of Portland ought to think carefully before they piled up more bond Issues. C. G. Sutherland also contended that It would be pre mature for the club to go on record as favoring any location, and said the question should be left to the United East Side Push Clubs, which has dele gates from all over the East Side. City Auditor A. L. Barbur spoke for the report, and said the club should favor the new location. He said that Engineer J. B. C. Lockwood had pre pared several sets of bridge plans for a new bridge on its present location, the estimated cost of the structure be ing $500,000, and said that none of the estimates had been down to $450, 000. Mr. Sutherland called attention to the heavy cost of carrying the East Side approach over the O. W. P. prop erty if the East Mill-street site should be chosen. An effort was made to amend the motion to adopt the report and send it back to the committee. This was voted down and the report favoring the new location was adopted.
