Is Followed by Webster Ma

Close Today.
Final arguments In the James Henry
Booth brfhery ease were beffun yester
day, in-mediately following the announce
ment l-v the defense that it would offer
no testimony. United States Attorney
MeCourt made the opening argument for
the Government, speaking for nearlv two
hour. He was followed by Judge J 1.
Webster, of counsel for the defense, who

o'clock yesterday afternoon. He will he
followed when court convenes at !;

neon. Mrs. Booth Beside Husband.
When court convened yesterday morn
ing. Mr. Malarkey. of counsel for the
defendant, addressing the court, an
nounced that the defense would offer no
testimony arid would rest it. ?ase. t'eel
'ng satisfied that the Government had
fuiled to present sufficient evidence to
suj port the charge made In the indict
ment. During the arguments that wire
mnCe yesterday Mrs. Booth, wife of the
dc::i;dant, and their young son. occu
pied teats in the courtroom beside ihe
ex -receiver.
District Attorney MeCourt for the pros
ecution made a clear presentation of the
evidence that had been submitted by the
Government .and urged Its sufficiency to
warrant a verdict of conviction, iu re
ferred to the testimony of J. T. Bridges,
ex-Register of the Roseburg Land Olflce
and companion officer of the defendant,
and insisted that the alleged agreement
Bridges had testified to by which he and
Booth had agreed to furnish Krihs de
sired Information, served to s'.cw that
Kribs was after this information and
furthermore that it led up to the alleged
unlawful understanding subsequently
reached between Booth and Kribs. and
for which the defendant was on trial.
Emphasizes Date of Check.
Mr. MeCourt emphasized the fact that
the option for which the defense con
tended Kribs had paid Booth JS00 had
been secured by Krlhs prior to October
3. 1903. the date the check was delivered.
That the bulk of nearly 400,000 acres of
Government land to which Kribs had ac
quired title was located within the Rose
burg land district was pointed out by
the Government's representative as proof
of the intimate relations alleged by the
prosecution to have been maintained be
tween the timber land speculator and
Boot h.
Considerable weight was: attached by
the District Attorney to the fact of
Kribs' visit to the Roseburg Land Office
late at night during the year 1K03. An
other circumstance alleged to have been
suspicious was the fact that the check
for JXO0. although delivered to Booth on
October 3, 1903. was not presented at a
bank for payment until November 27,
of the same year, or nearly two months
following Its acceptance. In concluding
Mr. MeCourt insisted ths,t It was a sig-
nincant ract mat Kribs omitted all men
tion of any option In his affidavit which
was made In January, lfx3. so soon after
the txj check had been paid and while
the purpose of the transaction was so
fresh In the mind of the defendant.
Points Made by Webster.
Judge Webster referred to the indict
ment and pointed out that the charge
and the only charge on which the de
fendant was being tried, according to the
Indictment itself, was that of furnishing
to Kribs. in advance of all other per
sons, information of the final cancella
tion of lieu land selections. He main
tained that the only testimony on which
the prosecution relied to establish that
offensa was the testimony of Bridges and
Krlhs. tioth of whom had contradicted
themselves as well as each other. He
called to the attention of the jury that
the first statements of both of these wtt
r esses were favorable to the defense in
that Bridges had testified that the only
agreement In which the Land Office offl
cials had entered with Krihs proposed

furnishing him with information con
cerning lands held up for cancellation
and not lands that had finally been can
celled and rejected.
Kribs' Testimony Quoted.
Judge Webster quoted from the testi
mony of Kribs and showed that on di
rect examination the Government's own
witness had testified that the check was
paid for Booth's services in securing for
Kribs an option for the sale of valuable
timber lands.
Referrip,? to the sworn statement of
Kribs. made January 16. 1S06.. and ad
mitted as evidence for the Government
over the objection of the defense. Judge
Webster contended that tne affidavit it
self, even if true, failed to sustain the
specific charge of the Indictment, and
on which Uooth was being tried. Coun
sel insisted that Booth was charged in
the indictment with furnishing Kribs in
formation concerning the final cancella
tion of land selections, while the testi
mony, he declared, did not contain a
particle of evidence in support of the
allegation.
If the case is concluded and submitted
to the jury today it is understood Jude
Becker will leave tonight for San Fran
cisco. It is said he goes to California
at this time largely for the purpose of
conferring with Francis J. Heney regard
ing the further prosecution of the land
fraud cases.

This story of the cowpuncher ap
pearing in the July Sunset, by Owen
Wister, author of "The Virginian," Is
notable among Western stories. The
cowman is a fast passing type as the
great West becomes fenced and civil
ized. The novel, which began in the
April number of Sunset, appears in in
stallments, each practically ocmplete
in itself.
START FOR DENVER
Oregon Democrats Leave on
Special Car.
PLEDGED TO W. J. BRYAN
Lewis Chanler Is Choice for Vice
President and Xo Attempt Will
Be Made to Secure Xomlna-
tion of Chamberlain.
Oregon's eight delegates, accompa
nied by other stalwarts of the party
numbering in all about 20, left Port
land last night for Denver to attend
the Democratic National Convention,
which will be convened in that city
next Tuesday. There was nothing about
the special car in which the party is
making the trip to suggest the "dol-lar-a-plate"
Idol of the party. William
Jennings Bryan, In whose interest the
expedition is made, and for whose sup
port for the Presidency the eight dele
gates are pledged. The party will
reach Denver tomorrow morning and
during its stay in the convention city
will have headquarters at the Oxford
Hotel.
While a canvass of the delegation
this week disclosed that it favored
Lieutenant-Governor Lewis Chanler, pf
New York, as the party's nominee for
Vice-President, it has since developed
that the New York man may not be a
candidate for the place. Prior to leav
ing the city the delegates had not indi
cated who their second choice would
be, although J. B. Ryan, secretary of
the Democratic State Central Commit
tee, declared Oregon's representatives
in the coming convention would sup
port some desirable Eastern man as a
running mate for Mr. Bryan. No at
tempt will be made by the Oregon dele
gation to present the name of Governor
Chamberlain for the Vice-Presidency.
The delegation apparently has taken
the Governor at his word, and will not
insist that a "non-partisan" be placed
on the ticket with the Nebraskan.
It Is expected, however, that Gov
ernor Chamberlain and the other dele
gates from this state to the Elks" con
vention at Dallas. Texas, will attend
the sessions of the convention next
Thursday. They will be In Denver on
that day, and their itinerary will be
such as to enahle them to spend the
day observing the workings of the con
vention. Among those included in the party,
which left over the O. R. & N. at 6
o'clock last night, were: Delegates
State Senator M. A. Miller, of Lebanon;
W. F. Matlock, of Pendleton: J. O.
Booth, of Grants Pass; D. J. Fry, of
Salem; L. M. Travis, of Eugene; D. M.
Watson. R. D. Inman and C. K. Henry,
of Portland. Alternates John Man
ning and John C. Welch, of Portland;
Dr. H. L. Henderson, of Astoria, and
State Senator J. E. Hedges, of Oregon
City. Prominent Democrats John M.
Gearin. ex-United States Senator; F. V.
Holman, National Committeeman for
Oregon; Alex Sweek and J. B. Ryan,
chairman and secretary, respectively,
of the Democratic State 'Central Com
mittee; J. D. Slater, of La Grande;
Judge William Galloway, of McMinn
ville; Dan J. Sherrett, of Portland. Sev
eral members of the party were accom
panied by their wives. Mr. Ryan will
serve as assistant sergeant-at-arms of
the National convention.

o'clock. The day at the pleasure re

dren of a larger growth. The manage

provide a round of free entertainment
for park visitors, every hour up to 11
P. M. Dancing, skating, swimming and
rides on all the ingenious ridins de
vices will be going on all day.
The fireworks display is worth while.

on the National birthday shall find com
plete gratification in this regard, a

United Brethren Decide .to
Erect Tabernacle.
ON TRACT AT TILLAMOOK
Oregon Conference, in Session at
Portland, Decides to Return to
Site Where Campmeetings
AVere Formerly Held.
The fifty-fifth annual Oregon confer
ence of the United Brethren in Christ
opened its sessions yesterday morning in
the First Church. East Morrison and East
Fifteenth streets, with Bishop W. M.
Bell, D. D.. of Berkeley. Cal.. presiding.
Bishop eremirus N. Castle delivered the
opening prayer, followed bv an address
by Bishop Bell on "The Utility of Chris
tian Experience." Rev. W. W. Rose
braugh. pastor of the First United Breth
ren Church of TillaAook. was elected
conference secretary. Dr. W. R. Funk, of
Dayton. O., of the publishing house of
the denomination, was made an advisory
member. Dr. C. E. Cllne was given the
same honor and spoke briefly.
Dr. F. W. Jones, presiding elder, sub
mitted his report for the year. Among
his recommendations was that the con
ference campground in Tillamook County
be once .more used by the Oregon Con
ference for its campmeetings and con
ventions. He said that in years gone by
the old campmeetings held on these
grounds had been effective. His idea was
to enlarge on the old method and erect
a permanent tabernacle, in which all
conferences and similar gatherings
should be held. The recommendation
was considered the most important com
ing before the conference. Dr. Jones
also declared that the Oregon Conference
needed an old-time campmeeting to wake
it up.
Address by Bishop Castle.
Bishop Castle, a noted pioneer bishop,
spoke with great force in favor of the
recommendations, and fairly carried the
conference with his address, as he de
picted the old-time campmeetings. After
the conference had discussed the measure
thoroughly, the recommendation of the
presiding elder was adopted unanimously.
The motion carried with it the appoint
ment of a committee of five by the pre
siding bishop to handle the project. He
will announce the committee this morn
ing. This action means the erection of a
permanent tabernacle for campmeetings,
conventions and lecturts on the tract
owned by the conference In Tillamook,
for which money will have to be provided.
The conference in the afternoon in
dorsed the movement inaugurated by the
Sunday School Union to appeal to the
Oregon Legislature to pass a law to
close up theaters and places of amuse
ment on Sundays and to stop public
games. Including baseball, and similar
amusement, and excursion on Sundays.
This matter was brought before the con
ference by J. H. Lelper in an address on
the subject, in the course of which he
said that other religious bodies or the
state had indorsed the movement. The
appeal will go before the Legislature at
its next session.
"Home" was the subject of a paper by
Rev. W. W. Rosebraugh, in which he re
ferred to the Importance of maintaining
the integrity of the home. The paper
was considered of importance and will
appear in the conference minutes.
Will Xante New Elder.
As Dr. Jones announced that he would
retire as presiding elder with this con
ference. Rev. J. S. Rhodes. Bishop Castle
and Rev. J. M. Kittson were appointed
to nominate a successor. Owing to tho
illness of Rev. H. C. Shaffer, the pastor
of the First Church, he was relieved from
the several committee of which he had
been a member. Rev. D. P. Peterson, A.
H. Cisney and J. E. Comer are candidates
for the ministry, and their names will be
passed on by the ministerial committee.
The bishop announced the following com
mittees: Church erection. H. F. White;
publishing Interest, Rev. J. E. Connor;
education. Professor 6. V. White; Sunday
schools. Professor E. H. Castle: resolu
tions, Mrs. Dora Young; Bible cause. Rev.

interest of organic union.
