Europe to Paris.
NEW YORK, Feb. 7. The first .of the
foreign teams scheduled to start In tHe
New York-to-Paria automobile race on
"Wednesday next arrived today on . the
steamship Kalscrin August Victoria, and
its members were met at the pier by a
croup of enthusiasts and officials con

which will dock tomorrow. With their
arrival tine last details of the contest will
be decided upon.i Four American cars
have been entered, with the possibility
tAat two or three others may be added.
Most Difficult Test of Auto.
The race will be the most difficult test
to whtrh the automobile has ever been
put. When it was first suggested, many
persons looked upon It as an impossibil
ity, but as the plans were worked out
tha feat appeared-more and more feasible.
Success of the Pekin-to-Paris race made
ihe more daring journey proposed from
New York to Paris by way of Bering
HtralLs and across the frozen lands of Si
beria attractive In its scope and dangers.
The contest was projected by the French
newspaper I-e Matin, and has been final
ly arranged with the co-operation of the
New ' York Times:
' Over Alaskan and Siberian Snow.
The start will ,'be made from ' Times
. Square, at Forty-second street and
Broadway, on Wednesday next, February
.12 Lincoln's birthday at 11 A. M. The

to San Francisco, where the machines
will be transported by steamer to Seattle
and thence to Valdex, Alaska. Debarking
enow-packed roads and ice-covered rivers
of Alaska for k 1100-mile trip to Nome.
At Nome it will be necessary to 'ship on
another steamer across the Straits to
Kast Cape, Siberia, where a stretch of
11.450 miles faces the drivers. Altogether
the. journey will amount to aoout 20.000
mils. nearly 18,000 being made In the ma
chine. The contestants will be accompanied
from New York by a great cavaicaae ot
automobiles, and at various' points alonjr
the route across the United States local

VERDICT IN THE HALL CASE
Continued From First PaRe.)
1900, together with Hall's version o"
the same conversations.
In thA first rtlnpA " rYvn rtrttri .TiMffA
Hunt, It remains for the jury to de
termine if the conspiracy alleged actu
ally existed and .if- It did exist, was
any overtax-! charged done by one rf
41ia nartloa rhftrffpd trt offACt Its nh.
jeet. Several alleged overt acts, re
marked Judge Hunt, had been charged
In the Indictment and the Government
liad offered testimony on three specific
instances as follows: The alleged sig
nature of Hendricks to the homestead
affidavit of John M. .Morgan, xlated
June U, 1903; the signature of Charles
A. Watson' to his non-mineral. affidavit
of June 23, 1904, and the alleged
threat by C. B'. Zachary to assault D.
M. Walton If he dared, to trespass on
the land alleged unlawfully to have
been enclosed by Stelwer's company.
Statute Read to Jury.
That a defendant charged with any
offense is presumed to be Innocent un
til proved guilty and that the STiilt ot
a defendant must be established beyond
a reasonable doubt, were pointed out
by the court as elementary principles
of law. The Jurors were also reminded
that they were the exclusive judges of
the credibility of the different witnesses.
The act of Congress of 188E In refer
ence to illegal fencing and enclosing
of -public lands so as to prevent free
access thereto by those entitled to such
access was' read by the court to the
jury. '.'' "
This was supplemented by the decla
ration that the filing of an affidavit
setting forth the facts of an -alleged
unlawful enclosure was an additional
command and requirement of law of a
mandatory character -enjoining upon
District Attorneys the performance' of
the dutyv with -diligence and prompt
ness ot instituting civil .action, wlten
the affidavit, had been presented; but
this provision did not In ny. way ex
pense, that officer from instituting civil
action if information is brought to him
sufficient to make him believe that a
violation of the act had been-committed
and that he had. the means of getting
witnesses to. prove the violation; nor
. do the mandatory provisions' of " the
act of 1895 In '.any way limit his duty
prosecuting', .criminally all offenders
against the law forbidding the fencing
and enclosing of .public lands Jf he Is
satisfied that there' is' probable cause
to believe that, with reasonable 3iH
Rence lie can prove that a vlolation'has
occurred.
Omissions to Do Duty.
Dlssusslng the relation the wilful
and intentional omission by an official
of his duty bears to a charge, of con
spiracy. Judjje Hunt instructed. the"' jory
as follows:
A man may. by a wilful and intentional
omission to dr that tvliloli. as an official, it
is his duty to do. Intend and be guided by a
motive to aid and ab-t person In carrying
out a coiiKplracy, or In attaining the ruits
nuiu
i mi i - ttmm
thereof, and If he knowingly floes so, ard lie
intends to accomplish a common unlawful
purpose by such wilful omission -to do his
duty, he may become a part of a conspiracy
and. thus become at law a conspirator, and
liable to Indictment and .prosecution ai
such.
And In this- case, if you are satisfied, be
yond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant
Hall fully knew at any time before the 15th
of February, l"t02, that two or more of the
' defendants had agreed and combined to
inclose the pubMc lands of the United States
unlawfully, as 'charged In the indictment,
and that they had so. unlawfully fenced and
inclosed them, and that, notwithstanding
such information and knowledge, he will
fully, intentionally and for the purpose of
aiding them . in the unlawful inclosure
charged, refrained from instituting civil or
criminal suits and proceedings, .as he was
required by law to do, and so refrained-wlth
the purpose and intent that some of the de
fendants might carry out their unlawful
combination and might unlawfully Inclose
the public lands, and if you believe, be
yond a reasonable doubt, that after he.
Hall,, had acquired such knowledge, and
after he had wilfully refrained from Insti
tuting such clvrl and criminal proceedings,
some overt act charged in the indictment,
and proved on the trial, was committed by
any of the defendants for the purpose of
carrying .out the unlawful agreement as
charged, then the jury would be warranted
in finding that the conduct of Hall In know
ingly and Intentionally refraining from in
stituting such civil or criminal proceedings
was sufficient proof of his Kaving joined the
unlawful agreement and conspiracy charged
against him and his co-defendants.
Intent Must Be Shown.
But, as I have said to you, mere delay or
neglect, unless the delay or failure to act
was done for the purpose and with the in
tent of enabling persons o violate the law,
would not render the official guilty of con
spiracy, a.
Positive evidence entirely in proof of a
conspiracy Is not necessary to be had.' From
the nature of the case, the evidence fre
quently is In part circumstantial. So,
though the common design is the essence
of the charge, it is not necessary to prove
that all of the parties charged, met together
and came to an explicit and formal agree
ment for an unlawful scheme, or that they
did directly by words or In -writing state to
each other what the unlawful scheme was to
be and state to each other the details of the
plan or means by which the unlawful com
bination was fo be made effective: that is.
It Is not necessary that that should ' he
shown by direct evidence: the offense Is suf
ficiently proved If the Jury is satisfied from
the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt,
that two or more of the parties charged, in
any manner or through any ' contrivance,
positively or tacitly came to a mutual un
derstanding and purpose to accomplish a
common and unlawful design, followed by
some act done by any one of the parties for
-the purpose of carrying It Into execution!
In other words, where an unlawful end Is
intentionally sought to be effected, and two
or more persons, actuated by the common
purpose of accomplishing that end. work
together in any way in furtherance of the
unlawful scheme and to effect the object
of the same, every one of said persons be
come? a part of the conspiracy, although
the part he was to take therein was a sub
ordinate one. or was to be executed at a
remote distance from ' the other conspira
tors. .
Relations or Parties. .
Tt Is not necessary that each of the parties
should, in person, commit the unlawful act,
or- that all the persons- in a conspiracy
should receive the benefit of It. if such act
is a part of the plan for which the com
bination is formed: for if the unlawful
agreement had been proven to your satisfac
tion and beyond a reasonable doubt, the act
of one. 1f done In furtherance ,of the eon-:
spiracy and to effect its object, becomes the
act of all.
The Government Is not required to burnish
direct evidence of a conspiracy or of the
knowledge or Intent of the defendants or
either of them, but the consnlsacy, knowl
edge or Intent of the defendants may be
established by circumstantial evidence. If
sufficient for that purpose. -The rule In re
lation to circumstantial evidence as applied
In the trial of a defendant charged with
crime Is this: . In order to Justify a jury
In finding a verdict .of guilty based entirely
cn circumstantial 'evidence, the circum
stances must-not only be consistent with the
gulu of the defendant. . but they
must bo inconsistent with 'any other
reasonable hypothesis that can be predicated
cn the evidence, or, stated In another form,
it is not sufficient that the circumstances
proven coincide with, and therefore render
probable the hypothesis of guilt as asserted
by the prosecution, but they must exclude
to a moral certainty and beyond a reason
able doubt every other hypothesis but the
single one of guilt, or the jury must find
the defendant not guilty.
As to the Confessions.
Regarding the testimony for . the
Government of Stelwer and Hendricks,
who have pleaded guilty to the con
spiracy Indictment, Judge Hunt in
structed thee jury that while the testi
mony of these witnesses, who were in
the attitude-of accomplices, was com-,
petent, it should be received with cau
tion. The testimony of. the defendant,
too, held the court, should be weighed
carefullly. His credibility should be
tested by the same consideration ap
plied to the sworn statements of the
other witnesses. In judging the
credibility of what he had said, the
nature and enormity of the offense
with which he ' was charged and
whether or not he had originated a
false theory of defense should be con
sidered. .If Hail became a member of the al
leged conspiracy, instructed the court,
prior to February ID, 1902, the date
the indictment charged the conspiracy
was formed, and that thereafter and
prior to February 10, 1902, some one of
the conspirators did an act to effect
the object of the alleged agreement,
then Hail could not be convicted un
less the jury was satisfied beyond a
reasonable doubt that since February
10, 1902, the conspiracy . charged in the
indictment was In existence and Hall
had intentionally, participated therein.
Court Discusses the Law.
Further discussing the subject of
conspiracy. Judge Hunt said:
There Is & further rule In conspiracy. Any
one. who, after a conspiracy is formed and
who knows of Its existence, joins therein,
becomes a party from that time; hence, if
you find beyond a reasonable doubt from the
facts as proved in this case that -the de
fendant Hall Joined the alleged conspiracy
between any two of the other defendants In
the manner and way set forth in the in
structions given to you. and continued
l:nowingly and Intentionally to participate
therein .by aiding and abetting the co
conspirators in carrying 'out the purposes
and objects of their conspiracy by wilful
and intentional action on hla part or by
wilful and intentional neglect and refusal
to perform his official duty in any of the
ways hereinbefore referred to, and with
the intent to co-operate- as charged, and
you further find that at any time within
three years before the 10th day of February,
lftOj (the date of the filing of, the Indict
ment), any overt act charged In the In
dictment, and to which proof has been ad
duced, was committed by any one of the co
conspirators, with intent to carry out the
purposes of the alleged conspiraoy. while
the said Hall so continued knowingly and
Intentionally to participate in .such 'con
spiracy, the said Hall may be found guilty
of the offense charged in the indictment, al
though it may appear and the Jury may
find that he. the said Hall, joined Said con
spiracy at a date more than three -years be
fore the. finding and filing of the indictment.
Heney Is Well Pleased.
When the instructions had been deliv
ered Mr. Heney expressed his satisfaction
with them, but Judga, Webstex. . for the
defendant, submitted exceptions in a
general way to tne entire charge.' He
specifically excepted to the following In
structions: Tile definition of conspiracy
given by the court: the alleged overt acts
by .Hendricks. Zacbary and Watson : that
the flllngof an affidavit reciting unlawful
fencing with the District Attorney was
a pre-requlsite to bringing a suit, and the
failure of the court to instruct the Jury
as to the defendant's interpretation of
the statute in which he had believed, the
affidavit had to be filed first; that overf
acts by which the alleged conspiracy was
renewed were participated in by the defendant.
The Federal statutes prescribe a fine of
not exceeding ,10,000 and imprisonment
not exceeding two years for persons' con
victed of conspiracy. .
Uenej-'B Closing Address. '
Heney began his closing address to the
Jury at 2:15 o'clock 'yesterday afternoon,
following Judge Webster for the defense,
and did not conclude until 5:30 o'clock,
when court took a recess until 7:45
o'clock. He roundly denounced recreant
public prosecutors, contending that their
failure strictly and impartially to enforce
the laws tended to destroy respect for
the law. During Heney's argument Hall
remained in the office of -Clerk Sladen,
adjoining the courtroom.
The alleged unlawful agreement be
tween Hall and Stelwer and the latter's
associates, on which the conspiracy In
dictment was based, declared Heney. was
formed on May 7, 1900, when Hendricks
called at 'Halls' office in Portland and
proposed the non-prosecution of ' the
Butte Creek Company and its officers for
maintaining an unlawful inclosure In re
turn for the control and influence of Stel
wer's Vote for Senator. Further evidence
of this agreement, insisted Heney, was
presented in the fact that Stelwer, fol
lowing his election to the State Senate,
called on Hall also in the Fall of 1900.
Steiwer then returned to Fossil and told
Hendricks that from what Hall had told
him he (Steiwer) was afraid Putnam
might cause the Butte Creek Company
trouble about the fences.
Heney then referred to Steiwer's at
tendance at the 1901 session of the Leg
islature, where Hall again told him the
fences must be removed. But when Stei
wer returned to Wheeler County, after
the Legislature adjourned, said, Heney,
instead of tearing down the fences, the
company proceeded to acquire more
fraudulent homesteads for the single pur
pose of constructing more fences.
It was not until October, 1903, or nearly
four years after Putnam had first com
plained of the unlawful feneeB, asserted
Heney, that Hall took any action against
the trespassing company. It was then
that Special Agent Dixon made his report
together with affidavits, and even then,
charged the prosecutor. Hall failed to
follow the recommendations . of Dixon,
who had recommended that both Stelwer
and Hendricks be arrested on a criminal
charge. Instead, a civil suit was begun,
and It had not been concluded when Hall
was removed from office, on December 31,
1904.
Burke-Goslin Frands Cited.
In order to show the intent and motive
that prompted Hall's failure to proceed
against the Butte Creek Company, Heney
referred to other instances of official In
action on the part of Hall, and o'n which
testimony had been submitted by the
Government. He cited the attempted
Burke-Goslin frauds in 1899, and the more
extensive fraudulent operations of Claude
Thayer in 1900. If Hall had performed
his sworji duty and prosecuted Burke,
Goslln and Thayer for subornation of
perjury, declared Heney, the "stealing of
thousands of acres of the choicest timber
lands of the state by wealthy timber
thieves of the States of Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota would have been
prevented; the state would have been
spared the ehame of having to prosecute
the late Senator Mitchell, Congressman
Williamson, F. P. Mays and other men
prominent in the politics of the state.
It was with these frauds by Burke,
Goslin'and Thayer, asserted Heney, that
the land frauds began In this state. The
fact that the theft of public lands was to
be permitted to go unpunished served as
an incentive to others to adopt the same
crooked, methods anS It was then that
Puter, McKinley and others began their
operations.
Duty to Prosecute Evil-Doers.
The duty of prosecuting evildoers, said
Honey, was not a pleasant task, since It
brings pain and suffering to others than
those directly Involved, but the laws of
the land are supreme and should be
rigidly enforced If they are to be respect
ed, rt is not within the rights of any
prosecutor, alleged the Government's
representative, . not to prosecute because
of largeness of heart, and it ' Is not for
any official to extend mercy to any vio
lator of - the law. It Is the easy-going
prosecutor. Insisted Heney, who brings
pain and suffering to many because, by
his laxity in enforcing the laws, he en
courages the commission of other crimes.
It was charged by Heney that the whole
sale land-frauds in this State were in
itiated by the original offenses of Burke,
Goslln and Thayer, and these crimes
were encouraged and promoted by Hall
through his inaction as prosecuting offi
cer, whose duty and his alone it was to j
stop mem Dy apprenenaing ana puiusn
ing the guilty. ' ' l' '
The conviction of one 'such offender as
Hendricks, who, as United States Com
missioner, aided the commission of crime,
has a -greater. .deterrent., effect .on law
breaking than would the conviction of
100 entrymeiv who served -only as 'the
tools of the principals to the frauds.
Heney also ventured the assertion that
the conviction of one United States At
torney for failure to discharge his duty
would do more to deter a further com
mission of crime than the punishment of
1000 ordinary' criminals. "
"Call the roil of Hall's Intimate friends
in 1903, when he was seeking reappoint
ment to the office of United States At
torney," said Heney, "and whom do you
find? F. P. Mays and George Sorenson.
under indictment and conviction; George
C. Brownell, under indictment."
Not one of these men was Indicted, as
serted Heney. until-after Hall was out
of the District-Attorney's office, and then
they Were brought into court for of
fenses committed while Hall was in
office and at a time when they were the
close friends of Hall.
Before concluding Heney contended
that the Government by Its testimony
had shown that Hall .not only had pro
tected his friends from prosecution for
land-frauds, but with the assistance of
Special Assistant United States Attor
ney Burch in 1903 had sought to have
Heney relieved from control of the in
vestigation of the frauds. Heney fur
ther referred to the letter Hall had writ
ten Sorenson while the latter was at La
Crosse. Wis., in 1904, showing that al
though Sorenson had been subpenaed
to appear as -a witness in the pending
land-fraud Investigations, Hall was keep
ing one of the principals, Informed as to
the time the grand jury was to meet and
the date on which the land-fraud cases
were to go to trial.
Judge Webster's,- Argument.
Judge Webster occupied all of the
morning' session and a part of trie after
noon in arguing his client's cause before
the jury. He emphasized the fact that
a verdict of guilty could only be returned
after the jurors had satisfied themselves
beyond a reasonable doubt that the
charge of conspiracy had. been positive
ly established. That "was the charge In
the indictment and lie insisted that the
prosecution had failed to prove that an
agreement of any kind had been entered
into between Hall and any of the other
defendants. He pointed out that Ifall
had endeavored faithfully to secure a
report from special agents as to the
alleged unlawful, enclosure before he
could proceed either civilly or criminally
against the trespassers the Butte Creek
CompSny and only secured such a report
after he had personally appealed to the
United States Attorney-General, who had
caused Special . Agent Dixon to be as
signed to Hall for the purpose of making
the necessary investigation and report. .
Judge Webster charged that the' prin
cipal witnesses on which the Government
had relied to prove the charge against
Hall either had been convicted of per
jury or subornation of perjury, or were
"confronted with such an Indictment. In.
concluding, Judge Webster made a feel
ing appeal to the jury for a careful con
sideration of the evidence in behalf of
his client-,. Whose future career was In
volved in the outcome of the trial. .

Ask your Druggist for it.
What glasses are to weak eyes,
Cascarets are to weak bowels.
Old people constantly need them,
and the need is a natural one.
You old people Cascarets are particularly for you.
, Vou who don't exercise as much as you used to. You
who like(the easy chair. ' ' v
You whose steps are slow, and whose muscles are
less elastic. You must realize that your bowels have
also become less actiye.
They need this gentle help every day. .
Don't regard Cascarets as physic.
They stimulate the bowels just as some foods will do;
just as exercise would do, if you took enough of it.
They are not harsh, like salts and cathartics.
The help which they give to weak bowels is just as
' natural and gentle as the spur of youth.
When eyes grow dim, you help them.
Do the same with the bowels when age makes them less active.
There is nothing more important.
Costive bowels mean that decaying food is clogged there. And the
ducts of the bowels suck its poisons into the blood.
You can't feel well nntil this is corrected.
But do it gently not with a bowel irritant. And do it regularly'
one Cascaret a day.
Coax the weak bowels don't drive them.
Cascarets are candy tablets. They are sold by all druggists,
but never in bulk. Be, sure you get the genuine, with CCC
on. every tablet. The price is 50c, 25c and
