The time in question wag when Roberts was on a little trip to Eureka. Short testified that Schulte approached him and said. "You're getting along pretly good, ain't you?

'Looks like you ought to pay a little money for this protection, guess you know the agreement don't you?"

"Well, I thought he was a deputy or something, he packed a gun around." Wroe, like a majority of the other witnesses, admitted that he had been convicted of violation of the liquor law. The state, at the closing moments of the trial yesterday afternoon, called several "surprise witnesses" to the stand. L. P. Reiaiensteln, a member of the grand Jury which returned the in dictment charging Schulte with ac cepting a bribe, testified concerning the appearance of Schulte before that investigating body. Mr. Reizen steln stated that Schulte denied be ing implicated In the bribery mess at that time hut admitted that he had a $100 bill in his possession on the eve of his trip to Portland. Schulte explained the matter to the grand Jury, Mr. Reizenstcin said. stating that a man by the name of Timberely had paid him that amount on a business deal. During the introduction of this testimony, the defendant conversed frequently with his attorneys and took many notes. W. G. Curry and C. L. Hadley, other members of the grand jury, tes tified that the testimony given by Mr. Reizenstein was correct and that Schulte had made all of the state ments as set out tfV the previous wit ness. The state rested following the In troduction of this testimony and the defense called their star witness". John Connelly, whose testimony con cerning the woodshed hns been given.

"Did you have a conveiwation with J. A. Zachary near the Antlers The atre last week?" asked Attorney Mc Knlght. "Yes," replied Roberts. "Did you not state to him at that time that you had only been in Con nelly's hotel at one time?" was the next question. "I did not." testified Roberts. "I told Zachary that I felt sorry for Schulte and that I thought he was a good honest man before he was drag ged into this mess. I said I thought that Connelly talked him into it." Zachary was later called to the stand by the defense and testified Roberts had told him he had only been in Connelly's hotel at one itme. Miw. C. E. Roach, formerly house-' keeper at the Connelly Hotel In Reedsport, but now a resident of Marshfield, was called. Mrs. Roach "got her Irish up" and snapped ques tions back in the "short and. sweet" style when cross examined by the state. She declared that she was up stairs In the hotel at the time the de fense alleges Roberts called to see Connelly. She said he came up stairs in the hotel and said, "Jack, I want to see you a minute." They both went into a room and emerged a short time later. John McCulIough, clerk at the Connelly hotel, also became hostile on the stand. John said that he saw Roberts enter the hotel at the time in question. Teatifying concerning 'the woodshed in which Hillls Short alleges he concealed himself to wit ness the money payment, McCulI ough declared that no shed existed at i the time but was constructed later by Addison Cook, a roomer at the hotel.) Artie Smith, bridge operator for. S. P. at Reedsport. appeared on the BlUIIU UN U dim Hl-!t?I nilllt-an. iir testified that Roberts bore a bad reputation in the lower Umpqua sec tion. Fred Schulte, the defendant, who faces the charges of having received the $100 bill for his protection of the "ring," took the stand. Mr. Schulte was positive In his de clarations that Mr. Roberts or any member of the alleged booz ring had ever paid a cent to him for the purpose of receiving protection. He denied that Connelly had handed him a $100 bill after having received it from Roberts. "I only had conversa tion once with Mr. Roberts," said the defendant. "He said he had conversa elect nie to constable and in return should be allowed to 'get by.' I told himthat neither he nor anyone else would be allowed to 'get by' and that I would start a cleanup of that town after the first of the year. I never have offered protection to the ring. I never arrested anyone outside of the ring and I have served warrants on a lew or those wno claim 10 ue iu the ring, mills Short never sold any booze to me at any time." Schulte admitted giving testimony concerning the alleged bribe before the grand Jury but says mat me words "S100 bill" were never uttered and that he told the Jurymen that he had a $100 check, which a Mr. 'liiu berly had paid him. He said that At torney Austin had the check In lilt possession. The feeling of hatred between Roberts and Schulte cropped out dur ing this testimony. "There always has been bad feelings between Rob erts and myself," Schulte said. The state called W. O. Curry to the stand. Mr. Curry again testified con cerning the grand jury testimony which he heard. "Mr. Schulte did not make any mention of a $100 check but 1 distinctly heard him say $100 bill'," said Mr. Curry. Aleck Tate, who serveu as mursiiiu at Reesoort during the time the alleg ed booze ring was operating, testified that he had noticed the little wood shed near the Connelly hotel upon many occasions. Schulte previously testified that he was not prent when the poolhall in Reedsport was raided by Deputies Hopkins and Shambrook. To offset this statement, the state brought a witness to the stand, Oeorge Miles, who worked In the poolhall. "I saw Schulte and Connelly standing across the street when Hopkins and Sham brook were raiding the Joint," he testified. The noon adjournment was then taken. A bad blow was dealt the state s case this afternoon when Frank Tim berely took the stand, and produc ing his check book, showed a check stub from which had been torn a check, for $100 made payable to Fred Schulte on November 22nd. This Is the same check which the defense claims provided the funds for Schulte's trip to Portland. Timber ed testified that Attorney Austin took the cancelled check last ia - mer for purposes of securing ev' - dence in the case. J. H. Austin was canea to me stand out tesuueu mm r disappeared from his files and that he could not produ:e It. He testi fied, however, that it had been de livered to him. L. F. Reizenstein was recalled to the. etand and referring to the notes he made as secretary of the grand mrv reiterated his statement that Schulte said Timberely paid him a. ttoo bill. He said that Schulte made no mention of a check .emailed to the stand' for short questioning after which the UMPQUA CHIEFS TO The tTmpqua Chiefs will hold their organization meeting at the office of A.

EQUALLY DIVIDED Ballot Stood Six to Six on First Vote and Only One Jury man Changed During Full Time. After deliberating for more than 24 hours the Jury in the Connelly case was unable to reach an agree ment and returned into court with a report that Its members were hope lessly divided, and was dismissed by Judge Hamilton. The Jury received the case Monday afternoon and was out all Monday niht and all day Tuesday until about 5:30 In the eve ning, when Its report was accepted by the court. The jury was evenly divided from the first, It Is understood, the first ballot standing six to six, the vote remaining unchanged until Tuesday noon when one juror turned to the conviction, the bullot then standing seven to five for conviction. This wan the final division of the Jury, it is understood. The character of the witnesses on both sides, is reported to have been responsible tor the failure of the Jury to reach a decision. Every possible effort was made to force a verdict, and It was not until Judge Hamilton was fully convinced that there was no possibility of the jury reaching a decision, that he al lowed a report to be made into court. The Jury wanted to report twice that It could not agree, but on both oc casions Judge Hamilton instructed them to continue their deliberations and try to reach a verdict. After H hours, howver, with practically no change In the balloting, it was found useless'to keep the jury out longer. Judge Hamilton announced that the case will lie re-tried this term of iourt. This term is proving a very expen sive one to the county. Two jdrleF have failed to agree, the Kellington manslaughter case having resulted In a disagreement, while the Con nelly case also failed to materialize in a verdict. The county has been put to the expense of keeping a large number of Jurors In Uosebum for an extended period, rnd there is etlll much work to lie done. The Sprlngstead gravel case, and the Con- im,y case each took up more time jthan had been expected, adding a i great deal of expense. The court has , ,)Jf,n forP,.,j to draw two special Jury panels and It Is possible that more will be needed before the term Is completed. state and defense rested their cases. The arguments started at two o'clock and the case will probably he given to the Jury late this evening. Judge Hamilton announced that j the Connelly case would be retried ' as soon as a civil case hsd been dls- netted of and requested that all wlt- j nesses be kejn here for the case.

COOLIE WINS TURKEYS TO BE SHIPPED EAST Two or Three Carloads to Be Sent From Umpqua Valley to Atlantic Coast. BUYERS ARE HERE Birds Will Be Received Satur day by Farm Bureau at Various Points in Douglas County. ' Two or three carloads of turkeys will be purchased In the county Sat urday for shipment to eastern mar kets, according to an announcement made this morning by C. E. Ban ning, manager of the Roseburg Farm Bureau Exchange. Mr. Banning states that three buyers are In the field arranging for shipments east and that the farm bureau exchange is preparing to buy birds for thesx firms. George Kohlhagen has also announced that he will buy birds for the eastern market. The price at which turkeys are to be bought for this shipment will be decided upon today and will be announced tomor row so that growers may decide whether or not they wish to kill at the price fixed or wait until the Christmas market opens on the coast. Umpqua valley turkeys were ship ped to the far eastern market for the first time Thanksgiving, when Swift and company bought a carload of birds and sent them to Hartford, Connectlcutt. Evidently the sale must have been satisfactory, for there are now three firms In the market for hirds for eastern ship-, nienf"-It Is possible that by open ing up an early market the growers may receive better prices than on the regulnr market, when there Is often a drop, as occurred during the Thanksgiving season, when the early birds sold for 35 cents per pound and the fowls on the regular market at 27 and 27 V, cents. The success of the early shipments to be made this month will probably have a great bearing on the future of the turkey Industry In this coun ty and considerable Interest Is being shown. i The Farm liureuu has been signing up growers all over the county, and have enough birds pledegd for de livery to fill two or three cars, pro viding the price Is satisfactory, Mr. Panning says. Illrds will be received by N. 1). Cool at Drain, R. W. Davis at Yon cnlln and J. N. Corn il It at Riddle, In addition to the Roseburg and Oak land exchanges. The Riddle and .Myrtle Creek districts have been con solidated to keep down the expense as much as possible. Mr. Panning reports that growers are giving excellent co-operation In the selection of turkeys this year. They have realized the value of closo grading, and Instead of protesting ai.'alnst the careful selection of birds, they arq Insisting upon a high grade -pack which will command the best prices. They are also taking more care in selecting the birds to be killed, saving those which are not In good condition, or which will not he apt to he classed among the best. This is having a big Influence and is causing buyers to offer top prices for the Umpqua vnlley turkeys. Ituyers are undetermined regard ing the Christmas market. The way the Thanksgiving sales dropped It Is very probable that the buyers will be very cautious and that prices will not he very high. Many wholesalers lost heavily and will not be anxious to buy at high prices. On the other hand the low priced turkeys caused a much greater consumption, which It Is believed disposed of a large part of tho surplus and probably reduced the number of turkeys held on stor age so that there should be a more certain market for Christmas. The Farm Bureau pool made up at Thanksgiving time, will probably net the growers about 27 cents, Mr. Manning reported today. The com plete returns from the car shipped I to San Francisco on consignment have not yet been received so that the rinnl figures cannot he correctly slated, but he says that the growers will receive about 27 cents for the birds placed in the pool.
