The only Juryman with an opinion waa
F. E. Mueller, who ima known Schue

twenty year. Jurora McCabe, Dart
lemay nnd Eden were not acquainted
with either Schiicbel or Hchnoerr,
while Mueller, Bremer, Heft, Lewis

other Jurors aald they know Mr.
Hchuebel, hut not Mr. Hchnoerr, and
George W. J mid wna the only Juryman
who had heard Hchuebel make a

the Primary Election.
The dlatrlct attorney enjoyed a lit
tle plenanntry with Juror Stafford,
when ha brought out the fnct that Mr.
Stafford had received some votea for

Mr. Hedge objected to the Into-
ducdon of testimony contending that
no crime was charged In the Indict
meiit. He nlso declared thnt Section
'ibl, lord's Oregon Laws, under
which Hie Indictment was drawn, was
uninnatltiitlonnl bocauae It stipulated
that any charge made sKulnsl a can
didate muat be ahown to the mnn ac-
rimed IHteen days before the primary.
1'nder (hut section, auld the lawyer.

aelf fifteen days before an election.
Judge Knkln overruled the objection,
and K. K. Ilrodle, publlaber of (be
Morning K'nterpriae wns called to the
wltneni atiind. Mr. Ilrodle aald the
ndvertlaement was brought to the of
fice of the Morning Knterprlae by Mr.
Hchnoerr April 17. Ho ideutlHed the
original copy.
Hchuebel, after teatlfylng that the
ndvertlaement referred (o him, anid
he Imd been deputy district attorney,
Inatlce of the peace and a member of
the city council of Oregon City. Ho
aald (he copy for the advertlaement
had nol been sorted on hltn. He de
nied (here wns any truth In the accus
ation made by Hchnoerr. ' Mr. Hedges
drew from the witness that In a pub
lic address at Molulla and possibly
one st Mucksburg, he said that
Hchnoerr had Informed nlin li. T. Mo
UiiIii and Wllllnui Hhenhan, of the Wll
Inmetto Pulp ft Pnper Company, had
aaked him (Hchnoerr) to become a
candldalF for the Republican nomina
tion for reproaenlatlve.
"I aald on several occasions,' anid
the witneaa, "that I conaidered Mr.
Hchnoerr one of the beat men In the
county and that no corporation could
liundlo hi in If aent to the legislature.
I did any Hint lawyers and mlllmen

In a speech at Molnlla announced Hint
I, who wna to follow him, would talk
about Hchnoerr and lay thnt he waa
a corporation candidate, llnyca tried
to creat the Impreaalon thnt I and not
Hchnoerr waa the candidate of the
Willamette Pulp & Paper Company.
He declared In his speech thnt I had
gone to Hcbnoerr's home to try to
get (he cHiididalo to algn a paper."
"What did you do at Schnoerr's
house when you went there on (he
morning of March 31?" aaked -Mr.
Iledgea.
"1 hnd a conversation with him, but
nothing thnt would In the allgbteat
way Influence, him so fur as the elec
tion wna concerned. 1 wna (here pos
sibly an honr and a half. My brother
waa wl(h men. 1 told Hchnoerr that
statements hnd been ninde to me thnt
Mcllnln, Hhcahnn and Ilnyea had via
I ted him and thnt ninny of hla frlenda
looked upon him as a corporation can
didate. I informed him frlenda of hla
hnd naked me to see hi in and urge
hi in to break awny from (he corpora
tion men. I advised him to get out
from under, after he admitted to me
thnt he hnd told several persons of the
visit to him by Mcllnln. Shenhan and
Hayes. Then Mr. Hchnoerr dictated
a pnper which I wrote. I took a copy
of the paper and he said he would dis
cuss the matter with hla wife."
"Did you not at that time say to
Hchnoerr, 'If you will sign tills article
It Will get you BOO votes?'"
"I did not.'
The stnte rested after Mr. Hchuebel
finished hla testimony,
Mr. Hedges moved to dismiss the
Indictment on the ground that the evi
dence was Insufficient, the statute un
der which the Indictment wna drawn
unconstitutional nnd that no crime
hnd been charged. The motion being
overruled the defendnm wns cnlled to
me siann. lie sain ne naa uvea in
(his county since 1888.
"Hchuebel enme to my house on the !
morning or Marcn si, 1912," aaid the
witness. "He was there three hours.
He snld to me, 'Cus I wnnt to write
something and 'will you sign It?' He
naked for paper, pen and Ink. After
writing the paper he said to me, Gua,
the whole country la full of talk you
are bought by capltallata and Inter
esla.' He aald, 'On a, If you sign that
pnper. I will get- you 400 or 600 votes,
and you will be the atrong mnn In the
election.' He snld he was a good
speaker and I was not, and could aid
me.
Mr. rtrownell, who questioned the
witness, was Interrupted repeatedly
by the district attorney, who finally
declared that the wltneas muat not be
allowed to place a construclon upon
the words "bought and sold."
Judge Enkln dismissed the Jury un
til 9 o'clock this morning and heard
the argument of the attorneys on the
question.

PLAN Of BRITISH WHO
ARE ANGRY '
TOO SPECIAL TREATIES INVOLVED
One Binds Country To Submit To The
Hsgus Any Dlffsrsncet That
May Relate To Inter
pretadtfno WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Although
the Htute Department will authorise
no statement to that effcut. It Is und
er aoort the administration will de
cline! to ,ermlt the question of the
right of the United States to relieve
Its own shipping from tolls In the
I'nnuma Canal (o go to arbitration
Thla position of the Government, It
Is snld, may not bo developed fully for
soma time.
While the Ilrlllsh protest, delivered
yesterday, clearly Intimated a purpoae
to demand an arbitral declaion In the
event (hut a more careful study of
(be Panama Canal toll act brought
nut the Impression that It Is In viola
tion of the llay-l'Buncefote treaty, If
the usual course In diplomatic ex
change Is followed, many arguments
and counter arguments must be sub
mitted on both sides before the re-
sotirres of diplomacy would be ex
huuated, (hue warranting a demand
for arbitration. ,
The I rltlili foundation for such a
demand resto upon the broad basis Of
two special treaties between America
and Creut llritalu In addition to the
great general convention creating the
tribunal of The Hague and binding all
parties thereto to adjust their depu
(les by recourse lo Its methods. The
llrsl of these treaties, the Hay-Paunce-fote
treaty, In Its third article declares
that there shall be no discrimination
agHlust sny of the nations obeying the
rules of the canal, and In Its fourth
article asserts that no change of ter
ritorial sovereignty shall affect the
obligation of America and Great Hrit
ain under the treaty.
Ihe second special treaty, made
four years ago, binds each country to
submit to The Hague any difference
that may arise relating to the Inter
pmiatlon of treaties, provided they
"do not affect the vital Interests, the
Independence or the honor" of the par
lies. On Ha face, a IlriGah demand
for arbitration on suob a baala la gen
erally regarded to be aound and be
yond discussion.
BRITAIN WONT ASK

LONDON, Sept 3. Complete dis
avowal was given this morning by the
llrltlnh Korelgn Office of the so-called
offlclnl announcement that the British
government formally would demand
arbitration on the Panama Canal tolls
queatlon.
'"The lines of action which He be
fore the Krltlsli government now are

ment of thla kind 1s premature."
This Is the full text of the formal

E TO SAVE
SALEM, Or., Aug. 81. Candidates
dealring (o avail themselves of the

the cnndldnles' pnmphlct this year
will find It to an advantage to file
them with the Secretary of State
through the executive committee or

carriers Is thei most sought-for po
sition. President Kraxberger and Sec
retary lioyd of the Oregon Associa

reason set forth by them that they
