The prosecu tion of the railroads for the viol ation of the Eikins law relating to giving and receiving of rebates will follow the pleading guilty of the four representatives of the Sulzber ger & Swarzschild Company yes terday to a charge of aspiring to receive illegal rebates from the rail roads. Authority for this statement is District Attorney Morrison, and he was emphatic in. his declaration that the government would go after the railroads. In view of the sudden determin ation of the government to proceed against the railroads, it is believed tonight that somebody has "squeal ed" and the government has eecor ed highly important evidence. Pro ceedings against the railroads require a seperate campaign, indictments, new grand jury th railing from all parts of counu y new witnesses. ALL GUILTY, WILLIAMSON, GESNER AND BIGGS CONVICTED.

Upon examination the metal of the new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. :The small pin holes in the old Mason cap were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds. . 1 regard the use of jars with zinc caps aa very unsanitary and even dangerous.

Interesting incidents of the experiences of the Englishmen connected with the oil industry of Baku are reaching their relatives in England. Williams, one of the four Englishmen rescued from a mob at Balakban, wnes that the stories of the horrors give but a feeble idea 01 the actual oc currences. He adds; I was shut up in my place at Zabratt for five days without any water except naizan or local miner al water. All the people here were crying and fainting. All around were fires and rifle shots. Ten Ar menians were killed out of those in our own yard. You could not walk a yard without several shots being fired at you. We tried to save the wounded but the Bbooting was too general and we had to give up the attempt." : St. Louie, Sept. 27. While en gaged in removing a cornice . from the transportation building at the continued on p age 4 Portland, Sept. 27 After being out lees than 6 hours, the third jury which heard the testimony of the government against Congress man Williamson, Dr. Gesner, Williamson's partner in the live stock business, and Marion R. Biggs a Prineville attorney, at one time register of the federal land office, at that place, tonight found all three guilty of having entered into nnnnnfrftrtv tn snhorn nprinrir hv 1 j j "j inducing locators to fraudulently file on government land, providing ' tnem witn toe money to do so, un der agreement that these persons convey title to Williamson and Ges ner when the patent was secured from the government. Shortly before 11 o'clock notice was sent Marshal Reed an agree ment had been reached, and Judge Hunt, District Attorney Heney, the defendants and attorneys were snmmoned to the federal court room. It was five minutes after 11 when Judge Hunt ascended the bench; Williamson, Gesner and Biggs pre viously arrived with their attorneys Heney did not arrive in court, be fore the verdict was read. Judge Hunt immediately order ed the jury brought into the court and received the verdict from the foreman. He opened it, handed it to the clerk of the court who read: "In the name of the Uoited States against John N. Williamson, Van Gesner, and Marion R. Biggs. ' We, the jury, find the defend ants guilty as charged." Judge Hunt addressed a few words to the jury, thanking them for their patience and attention during the three weeks which it has taken to try the case, and dis charged them. Save for the silence of the solem nity attending the occasion there was nothing drama'ic in the event. Even less so than at the two pre vious trials, when disagreements were relumed. Williamson Bat slightly apart from the other de fendants, rocking his chair back and forth, apparently less concern ed than the flushed and embarrass ed jury during the reading of the verdict. Gesner and Biggs with several friends, sat in the front of the rail at the rear of the bar, anl rivalled Williamson in immutabil ity of countenance. Judge Bennett, attorney for the delendaotp, moved the defendants be given a tew trial- Judge Hunt put the matt-r of heariog the mo tion off and the court adjourned. The case, wbrch this ii the third trial, commenced September 5. Little testimony was introduc ed differing from that of the two previous trial?, and in the main, the arguments cf the attorneys were the Fame. Heney finished his argument in rebcttal late to day and Tudge Hunt delivered the chargo to the jury, alter which it retired to deliberate.
