NEW TRIAL GIVEN
Supreme Court Reverses Ver
dict on Burton, .:
DECISION NOT UNANIMOUS
Counts Relatingto Placc'Where-Senator
Received Money Are Found
Untrue Judge Erred in
Charge to Jury.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1C. The cause of
Senator J. R. Burton was decided by the
United States Supreme Court today, dis
missing the writ of certiorari to the Cir
cuit Court of. Appeals lor the Eighth Cir
cuit Court, and reversing the verdict of
the District Court for the Eastern Dis
trict of Missouri on .'the ground that the
payments to Burton were made in Wash
ington. The District Court was there
fore reversed and the case remanded for
a new trial.
The opinion was handed down by Jus
tice Peckham. who took up the various
counts and recited the conclusions, as
well as the divisions of the court, as fol
lows: First The question of the construction of
the statute upon which this indictment was
framed is the first to arise. Upon that ques
tion a majority of the court ( Justices Har
lan. Brown. UcKenna. Holes and Day con
curring:) is of the opinion that the facts
, alleged in the Indictment show a case that
is covered by the provisions of the statute,
while the Chief Justice. Justice Brewer.
Justice White and the writer of this' opin
ion dissent from that view, and are sof
the opinion that the statute does sot cover
the case as alleged In the Indictment.
Second Assuming that the statute aplles
to the facts stated in the Indictment, a fur
ther question arises upon the general merits
of the case, whether there was sufficient
evidence of guilt to be submitted to. the
jury, and a majority of the court (the same
Justice!) concurring) is of the opinion that
there was, oris not prepared to say there
was not, and the came minority dissent
from that view and is of the opinion that
there was no evidence whatever upon which
to found a verdict of conviction.
Where Lower Court Erred.
As to the sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth counts of the Indictment, the court
llnds that the averments as to where the
different checks were received and paid
were not true.
The checks were received In Washing
ton, indorsed by Senator Burton and de
posited In the Rlggs National Bank, In
this city. This constituted a payment In
Washington, and not In St. Louis, where
the checks were afterward paid by the
Commonwealth Trust Company, and the
decision states that "the court in Missouri
had no Jurisdiction to try the offenses
set forth in these counts of the Indict
ment already referred to."
There was no question that such was
the fact, and It was error to submit the
matter to the Jury to find some other
fact not supported by the evidence. Con
tinuing, the decision says:
In the case at bar the proof was not disput
ed. The checks were passed to the credit
of defendant unconditionally and without
any special understanding. The custom of
the bank to forward such checks for col
lectio Is a plain custom to forward for col
lection for Itself. The only liability of de
fendant was on his Indorsement. All his
made a payment at Washington, and as a
result there was a total lack of evldece to
rusialn the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth
counts of the indictment.- The court should
have, therefore, directed a verdict of not
guilty on those counts.
This is not a case of a commencement
of a crime In one district and Its comple--
t on in another, so that under the statute
the court In either district has Jurisdiction.
There was no beginning of the offense in
Missouri. The payment of the money was
in Washington, ad there was no commence
ment of that offense when the officer of the
Rial to Company sent the checks from St.
Louis to defendant. The latter did not there
by begin an offense in Missouri.
Error in Charge to Jury.
The court also found error in the re
fusal of the District Court to charge as
required when the Jury came into court
and announced Its inablllay to agree. The
failure to charge as required was because
the presiding Judge considered the points
were obstructions of law, but It after
wards appeared that the points had a
bearing upon the Jury's consideration of
the case. On this point the decision says:
Balanced as the case was In the minds
of some of the Jurors, doubts existing as
to the defendant's guilt in the mind of at
least one. it was a case where the most
extreme care and caution were necessary
In order that the legal rights of the defend
ant should be preserved. Considering the
attitude of the case as It existed when the
Jury returned into court for further Instruc
tions, we think the defendant was entitled,
as matter of legal right, to the charge asked
for In regard to the previous requests to
charge, which had been granted by the
court under the circumstances stated, and
It was not a matte rof discretion whether
the Jury should, or should not. be charged
as to the character of those requests. A
slight thing may have turned the balance
Against the accused under the circum
stances shown by the record, and he ought
not to have longer remained burdened with
the characterization of his requests to
charge, made by the court, and when he
asked for the assertion by the court of
the materiality and validity and those re
quest which had already been made, the
court ought to have granted the request.
Justice Peckham also took occasion to
comment upon the fact that when the
Jury came in with a disagreement, the
Judge asked how the jury stood, saying
that the practice was one which should
not be encouraged.
No Injustice to Burton.
Justice Harlan dissented from tho
opinion on both points on which the lower
court was reversed. He htdd that the
failure of the court to give the Instruc
tions required did not deprive Mr. Burton
of any substantial justice, and on the
other count contended that in the matter
of the checks the Washington bank was
merely Burton's agent In collecting money
on it. "It seems to me." he added,
"that in reversing the judgment upon the
grounds stated In the opinion the court
has sacrificed substance to mere form.
New Trial at St. Louis.
The trial under the indictment charg
ing Senator Burton with reeching a cash
payment at St. Louis will proceed Immedi
ately at that place. Tho Department of
Justice has not yet considered the ques
tion of the trial place of the indictment
alleging payments in this city. It is" pos
sible .the statute of limitation may oper
ate against it.
The Timber Resources of America.
W. Frank McClure In the December Book
lovers Magazine.
Across the Great Lakes in Canada there
lies one of the world's largest reserves of
timber. In spite of the tariff imposed,
much of this timber is today coming to
the United States. The forests of the Do
minion are beginning to yield abundantly.
More than 1.000.000,000 feet of pine sawlogs
and square timber, during a recent season,
were cut upon territory held under tim
ber license from the crown. Much of
Canada's timber land has not yet even
been explored. In the newly developed
districts of Algoma. which are close to
the Great Lakes. It is estimated that there
are more than 100.000,000 cords of spruce
and pulp wood, while in the districts of
Thunder Bay and Halny River there are
nearly 200.000,000 cords more, A belt at
least 3000 miles long is believed to exist
in Canada between Alaska and the At
lantic. It has been estimated that at the pres
ent rate of cutting, the greatest timber re
sources of the United States those of the
Pacific Coast States will be exhausted in
leas than- half a century. The annual cut
of shingles and lumber In these regions
is some 4.500,000.000 feet. The standing
timber of Washington. Oregon and North
ern California at present Is twice that of
the original timber lands of tne ortnern
woods. Washington produces about as
many feet of shingles and other lumber
as Oregdn and California together. This
state Is noted for its shingles, mere ocing
mor than 1000 shingle mills within its
borders. At -Tacoma are located the larg
est sawmills In the United States.

Recent Case In Indianapolis Attracts
Wide Attention.
Boston Transcript.
When surgery can be depended upon In
any considerable number of instances to
correct not merely nnysicai iroumes. oui
mental defects and moral abnormalities
as well, the achievement may be regarded
as the coronation of the many tnumpns
It has won during the last half century.
As science develops this may not be too
much to hope for, especially as It seems
to have been already accomplished In the
capital city of Indiana. The story Is told
of Jesse Beard, a lad of 12 years of age.
who manifested a .violent temper and
trtmlnal propensities. He was disobedient
to his parents and detested the discipline
and Instruction of "the schools. He ran
away from home, and when upbraided
threatened to kill his mother and sister.
He showed tendencies somewhat similar
to those that gave Jesse Pomeroy his
unique notoriety: but. fortunately, sci
ence took him in hand before those tend
encies had expressed themselves to the
same deplorable extent.
Finally he was brought by his parents
before the Juvenile Court as an Incorri
gible. The chief probation officer was a
woman and very likely a mother. At any
rate, she took an Interest In what seemed
a desperate and hopeless case, and had
the boy taken before an expert for ex
amination. Investigation disclosed the
fact that wheri 3 years old he had
fallen into o. trench, his head striking
some timbers, after which he was quite
ill. and was threatened with brain fever.
Following this lead, the surgeous located
the old injury, and trephined -the skull at
that point, disclosing a fracture and brain
depression, with chronic Inflammation of
the brain covering. The pressure was re
moved and the brain restored to Its nor
mal condition, since which time the sub
ject has shown an entirely different dispo
sition. He has become kind and obedient
and anxious to make up for the oppor
tunities lie had previously thrown away.
A couple of years ago Dr. Lorenz cre
ated an agreeable sensation in this coun
try by his skill in straightening out de
formed limbs among children: but how
much greater would be the social benefit
if deformed brains could be set right. We
do not look for the time when science
can make a wise man out of a congenital
Idiot, but there may be many cases in
which accident has had a share for which
science opens up a way of salvation. In
fact, the doctor who operated upon the
Indianapolis boy claims' that deformity of
the skull should be corrected by artificial
means s'oon after the child is born. "The
skull can be shaped with safety any time
within ten days after birth."
There may be a belated and uninten
tional recognition here of the claims upon
which phrenology Is based. There are
cases of crime in which it misht be more
just and more humane to turn the offend
er over to the expert sifrgeon than to tho
executioner. The last hanging la Con
necticut, we believe, was of a boy 18
years old, who had committed a mur
dcr for no reason that he could give or
any one else "Imagine, let along the line

least, epilepsy and habitual drunkenness

The Moon's Craters.
Waldcmar B. Kaempffert in DectVnber
Booklovers.
If there be craters on the moon that
are anything: but extinct they must ex
pel something. Judgins' by the dis
charges of our earthly volcanoes, that
something must be water and carbonic
acid gas. Water cannot possibly exist
as a liquid; for the temperature of the
moon's surface during the long lunar
nignt is probably nov far from 460 de
grees below the zero mark of a Fan
renneic inermometcr. ice ana snow
are the forms, then, which lunar water
must assume. Is there any evidence of
it? Hundreds of "crateriets" are lined
with a silver coatins that gleams daz
zllngly when the sun shines full upon
them. Capping: the loftier peaks tho
same silver glow may be seen. On the
slopes of the greater mountain chains,
on the ramparts of huge craters the
silvery sheen casts its halo, fading
away strangely as the sun rises higher
and higher, and reappearing at sunset
Just before the long, cold lunar night
sets in. From many of the craters,
notably from Tycho. long white rays
spread out for hundreds of miles enlg
mas in the old moon of a generation
ago, but In the new moon of today deep
crevices illuminated only when the
sun is high in. tho lunar heavens. What
Is this silvery substance that caps the
Apennines of the moon, gleams on tlve
slopes and radiates from the craters?
According to the new school It Is slm
ply ice and snow, collecting at the
poies, on summits, ana in the very
places where It ought to collect
Moreover. It partly explains the curious
changes that occur at different times
of the lunar day In the size of the
crater Linne. the "very small, round,
brilliant spot," previously mentioned;
It explains the illumination of deep.
snow-bottomed pits and abysses that
are Inky black at sunrise and sunset,
and brilliantly white when the sun
shines directly Into them; and It ex
plains the fading away and reappear
ance of white stains at different per
lods In the lunar day. The molting and
and falling of snow, tne disappearance
and reappearance of hoar frost, alone
can account for there changes. In old
descriptions they arc said to be due to
variations in illumination; in the phil
osophy of the new moon they are at
trlbutcd with benutlful simplicity to
the alternate evaporation and freezing
of water expelled from craters In erup
tion.
Courtship and Its Cost.
Atchison Globe.
A young man sued a girl in another town
recently for breach of promise, estlmat
lng In the bill for damages that his time
spent In courting her for three months
was worth J500. Statistics will show that
the young man exaggerates his value.
Peniaps his employer doesn't give him
JoO a month, and If he worked all day and
all night he couldn't cam $75. If he were
not In the girl's parlor he would be on
the streets loafing, and getting Into vic
ious company. The time spent in court-
lag was undoubtely wasted but it was
wasted without any more lasting effects
than a scratch on the young man's con-
celt- ills neart may have been touched,
but It Is doubtful If his pocketbook was.
The New Jersey courts have taken n th.
matter of courtships and find that the or-
umary courts ii ui costs as little as $20.
The average cost Is only 122. and th
rage duration Is IS months. Tho young
woman could make more by earning her
own theater and chocolate money Instead
of loafing with the young man. If there
are any damages due anybody, they are
due the girl's iather. who is out coal, gas
and the attention of his daughter during
LOGS UP A NOTCH
Yellow Fir Goes Up to $7.25
a Thousand.
LOGGERS PREDICT SCARCITY
Camps Will Not Open Until February
1, and Mills Are Rapidly Saw
ing Up the Available
Supply.
The price of Jio. J. yellow fir logs
has gone up a notch and all grades
below that quality have received a cor
responding Increase. As yet Che rise
Is not KreaU From a shifting price of
$6.50 to $7 a tuousand'it has now gone
up to 57.25 and loggers believe that
it will soon be $7.50 and remain there
for six months.
Logs are becoming scarce and there
is reason for the rise in price. There
are said to be no camps logging at
the present time and the rafts now in
the water are scarce. Moreover, they
are becoming scarcer evrey day and
the owners are holding off for a good
figure before selling. The camps will
not open again until the first of Feb
ruary and will not be In 'lull swing
until April or May. iieanwnile the
mills are eating up the available sup
ply day and night.
Last Fall the mills could get logs
at their own figure and plenty of them
at that. But tne conditions have 'sjpev
changed. The loggers shut down their
camps two and, in some cases, three
months ago. Since that time the avail
able rafts have become gradually
scarcer, and though no famine Is
threatened, the supply Is limited and
has no immediate prospect of being
materially Increased.
. The first indication that the mills
were bidding for rafts came recently
when the Deep River Logging Com
pany and the Yeon, Pelton Company
both sold rafts at $7.25 a thousand.
a rise of 25 cents above the highest
price which has been raid since last
Spring. Almost simultaneously with
this purchase the Portland Retail Lum
ber Company, which practically con
trols the local lumber market, raised
Its price of common rough lumber from
$7.50 to $8 a thousand. The market
had shown itself to be in a more
wholesome condition than at any tlma
since last Summer.
The changes in price of both logs
and lumber show that the logger
have received what will amount to
half the Increase. They believe they
will receive ICall. however, before many
weeks. The officers of the Portland
Lumber Company have expressed tne
opinion that" No. 1 yellow fir logs
would soon be selling for $7.50 a thou
sand and would sell for that as late
as June. The loggers nre not so san
guine as that, but they expect the
added Increase until May.
Neither loggers or lumbermen ex
pect that prices will receive any ma
terial Increase until the war In the
Orient ends. They expect, however,
that after the cessation of hostilities,
there will be zreat sections of coun
try opened and a big demand for lum
ber will follow. The war now on has
materially affected the shipments of
lumber from this port apd Is In .great
pari responsible for the present reign
ing low prices.
OPPOSE FOREST POLICE.
Tillamook and Clatsop Representa
tives Against Fire Protection.
Tlmbermen who introduced a bill In
the Legislature providing for a more
efficient policing of the Oregon forests
during the Sumer months to prevent
fires have met with unexpected opposi
tion on the part of representatives
from Tillamook and Clatsop counties.
They have learned that these legisla
tors have been taking the attitude
that the bill is a very good sort of
thing, but that there is no necessity of
extending It to their counties, as they
have heavy dews and wet sea fogs
which come upon the land overnight
and put out the fires. So. ask they,
why should their constituents be put to
the trouble of securing a license every
time they wish to set a fire and why
should the counties be bothered with
Are rangers?
The tlmbermen agree with the rea
soning, but doubt the premises upon
which it is based. They say that TlHa
mok and Clatsop counties are as subject
to forest fires as any portion of the
state and give a few facts to bear out
their statement.
In Tillamook County some of the
largest and deadest burns in the state
exist, they say. and one In particular
extends acrdss the big divide between
the Wilson ad Trask rivers, and an
other, even larger, extends away to the
northward.
Aside from these there are several
dead and barren burns which were
swept by fire In the last ten years.
Four owners state that they have lo3t
16,000 acres, some of the best timber in
the counties. The owners are: The
Whitney, the Hammond, the Duboisc
and the Streeter companies.
Last year two companies, the Du
bolse and the Rlten and Wentworth
companies, lost 25 40-acrc tracts In one
township and half a-sectlon in another
township in Tillamook County, and a
whole section In Clatsop County. These
two companies spent $5,000 fighting
fires during the Summer.
These facts are to be brought before
the House to show that the timber in
terests of Tillamook and Clatsop coun
ties need as much protection as any
where. Of the timber In the state, esti
mated to be worth at the present time
$10,000,000, about $2,000,000 worth is In
the two counties which are supposed
to be tree from nre.
