Entire Day Taken Up by Eloquent

XO VERDICT AT MIDNIGHT.
At midnight the Jury In the
James Henry Booth bribery esse
had not agreed on a verdict. In
view of the fact that the Jury haa
been out for over six hours. It Is
expected that a disagreement will
be reported. In that event. It is
the Intention of the Government to
retry the case as soon as Judge
Becker returns from San Francisco.
At 10:0 P. M. the Jury came Into
court and at the request of Foreman
Allen, who explained that no verdict
bad been reached. Judge Wolverton
re-read his Instructions In full. The
Jury then retired for further delib
eration. The case of the United States against
James Henry Booth. ex-Receiver of the
Roseburg .Land Office, charged with ac
cepting unlawful compensation while a
Government official, was submitted to the
Jury In the Federal Court at 5:40 P. M.
yesterday. The entire day was taken up
by the earnest and eloquent closing al
dresses of Dan. J. Malarkey, of counsel
for the defendant, and Judge Tracy C.
Becker, for the Government. During Mr.
iMalarkey's address and while he was
making an intensely fervent appeal for
the acquittal of his client, tears trickled
down his cheeks and several members of
the Jury were affected visibly. The in
structions by Judge Wolverton to the
Jury occupied 50 minutes for their de
livery. , The address by Mr. Malarkey was an
earnest and vigorous one. Including a
careful analysis of the testimony that
had been presented by the prosecution and
a request that Justice be done the defend
ant, against whom It was insisted the
Government had failed to establish a case.
Mr. Malarkey repeatedly charged that the
prosecution had failed to present sufficient
evidence on which a verdict of guilty
could be based and challenged the Gov
ernment's representatives to point wherein
their testimony supported the charge in
the indictment.
Declares Contest Unequal.
Mr. Malarkey prefaced his address by
remarking that the contest represented
In the case on trial was an unequal one,
charging that the Government and its en
tire machinery had united to bring about
the conviction of the defendant. Booth,
against whom no substantial evidence had
been offered.
The methods of the Government through
its Special Agents In acquiring evidence
and "spying:' Jurors and witnesses was
censured severely, while Frederick A.
Kribs, the star witness for the Govern
ment.' was flayed unmercifully. Kribs
was characterized as the "penitent re
formed sinner and looter of Oregon's pub
lic land for the benefit of Minnesota mil
lionaires. Counsel followed by saving
that the Government had proved kribs
a criminal and a liar and a polluter of
civic virtue. "Yet this man escapes pun
ishment." said Mr. Malarkey. "and it
seems to be the theory of the Government
that his victim must be punished. More
evidence has been offered in this case to
convict Kribs of subornation of perjury
than has been presented . to convict
Booth.'
Becker's Address to Jury.
Judge Becker resented the remarks of
Mr. Malarkey. who had referred to him
as the "gentleman from New York" when
pointing out that the Government was
able to bring men from all sections of
the country to assist in prosecuting men
asalnst whom indictments had been re
turned. Judge Becker declared that the
only interest the Government officials
had In the situation in this state was to
assist In purifying the administration of
its affairs, "even if It became necessary
to drive grafting officials out of office
and into the penitentiary."
The Government prosecutor reviewed
the testimony step by step and averred
that the prosecution had clearly estab
lished the allegations set out in the In
dictment. He charged that the talk of
the S00-check having been paid for an
option, which had been sprung by the
defense, was a trumped-up story without
foundation of fact. He declared that the
defendant. Booth, did nothing more to
wards, securing the alleged option, for
Kribs than any man Interested in the
property to be sold would have done,
while, he salii. the correspondence that
had been offered by the defense showed
that the transaction rel&tlng to the op
tion was conducted almost entirely be
tween the defendant's brother, R. A.
Booth, and Kribs.
In conclusion Judge Becker quoted the
celebrated declaration of the late ex
Tresident Grover Cleveland "a public
office is a public trust" and urged the
Jury to weigh the testimony carefully
and to render a verdict that would em
phasise a popular demand for cleaner
and better administration of public af
fairs. Judge Wolverton's Instructions.
In his instructions to the Jury. Judge
"Wolverton described at considerable
length the method of acquiring lieu land
selections. He also referred to the stat
ute under which the Indictment was
drawn against Booth and aaid that be
fore a verrilct of guilty could be returned
the Jury must be satisfied beyond a rea
sonable doubt, which was defined, that
the defendant furnished Kribs informa
tion regarding the final cancellation of
land selections and which had been in
troduced in the case by the prosecution.
The Jury was further Instructed that it
was to coiislder the testimony of ex
Register J. T. Bridges, detailing an al
leged unlawful agreement made by
Brkiges and Booth with Kribs. only as
allowing the 'conditions surrounding the
parties and their relations and as lead
ing up possibly to the alleged subsequent
agreement that was reached between
Booth and Kribs. Some of the instruc
tions were: If any part of the tSOO was
paid to Booth In payment for his unlaw
ful services, a verdict of guilty must be
returned; It was immaterial whether the
performance of the alleged agreement
between Booth and Krths resulted in an
Injury to the United States; Kribs. not
being an accomplice to the defendant.

L Mills Indicts Public for
Neglecting Fight Against
. ; Tuberculosis.
REVIEWS WORK ELSEWHERE
Other" Interesting Addresses at Pub
lic Session of. State Doctors Of
ficers Elected and Seattle Is
Chosen for Next Meeting.
Including a fearful indictment
against Portland and Oregon for Inhu
manity" A. L. Mills, president of the
First National Bank, delivered an ad
dress at the public session of the Ore
gon State Medical Association at the
First Prebyterian Church yesterday af
ternoon, which is causing no end of
discussion, not only among members of
the medical profession, but also among
the laymen who heard it.
The topic of Mr. Mills' address was
"What the Public Can Do in the Fight
Against Tuberculosis." He reviewed
what the people of other cities and oth
er states are doing, and then referred
to Portland and to Oregon. He severe
ly denounced the action of the State
Legislature of 1907 in refusing to ap
propriate money for the aid of" tuber
culous patients. Mr. Mills was a member
of that Legislature.
"Portland, the beautiful Rose City,
what of aid and hope and cheer does
it give to the Indigent consumptive
within its gates?" Ke asked. "My
friends, should this question be asked
you, drop your heads and falter out
the cruel, shameful truth that in all
Portland there is not a place where a
penniless woman wasting away from
consumption into the shadows of death
can find a room in which to lie down
and die.
No Provision for Victims. .
"Nay, more. Acknowledge that
within the city there is not one nurse,
specially trained for tuberculosis work,
to go about among the consumptive
poor, giving aid and comfort and guid
ance to the afflicted ones."
However. Mr. Mills expressed the be
lief that the plea of ignorance of ex
isting conditions should mitigate the
severity of the judgment that should
be passed. But he offered no excuse
for the lawmakers of the state, whom
he scored mercilessly. He told of what
is being done by other states to aid the
victims of the great white plague.
"And does Oregon take rank In this
work?" he continued. "Is our state
caring for the homeless, friendless and
penniless consumptive within its bor
ders? Does it protect you and your
families against the plague-smitten
sufferer in your midst? Surely, when
Oregon appropriates money to protect
the fish in the streams and the beasts
in the forests, it does not hesitate to
expend of Its resources to protect you
against the most deadly of diseases!.
"Shame upon us. shame upon the
good name of Oregon. The state has
yet to appropriate the first dollar in
aid of this great work.
Public Alive to Peril.
Outside, of Oregon, Mr. Mills said,
the greater part" of the civilized world
is awake to the necessity for combined
and unremitting effort to check the
further progress of consumption; In
every other place, he said, public in
difference to the peril, the outgrowth
of crass ignorance and selfishness, has
ceased.
Tlie meeting was the last session
of the 84th annual convention of the
Oregon State Medical Association, and
a public one. Many physicians at
tended and a large number of those
not members of the profession. They
were chiefly women. A special pro
gramme followed, designed to In
terest and Instruct the public.
Others, besides Mr. Mills, who spoke
were Dr. W. T. Williamson, of Port
land, and Dr. E. E. Heg. State Health
Officer, of Washington. Dr. William
son spoke on "The Common Ground of
the Medical Profession and the Public
in Public Health Matters," and Dr.
Heg on "Municipal Sanitation and Its
Effects In Communicable Disease."
Women are ten times more intellec
tual than men at the present time, or
rather there are ten intellectual wo
men to one intellectual man, according
to the theory of Dr. K. w. Van Dyke,
of Grants Pass. Dr. Van Dyke read a
highly Interesting paper at the open
ing session yesterday morning, which
was, perhaps, of more general interest
to the public than any other paper
during the convention.
Women to Supersede Men.
The subject of his paper was. "Three
Reasons Why Men Grow Old," and he
advanced some startling ideas. He
prophesied that unless a halt was
called upon the business rush of the
present day, men would retrograde and
women would take their places and
rule.
"The natural relation of the sexes
Is being rapidly reversed," he de

present condition of affairs continues
what will be the ultimate result? His

tion with its women at the helm and
the males relegated to the rear by
their own Ignorance.
"It Is a trite saying that intelligence
has always ruled the world. True,
there have, been apparent lapses in
places, but the rule holds good. Is
there any reason to believe that our
dear America will prove the exception
and Its future be turned over to a lot
of uneducated men and the women sit
idly by?"
The discussion, of Dr. Van Dyke's
paper was opened" by Dr. W. J. May, of
Baker City. Other speakers during
the forenoon session were Dr. E. O.
Jones, of Seattle; Dr. E. J. Labbe,
Portland; Dr. Frank J. Sladen. Balti

and Dr. George F. Wilson. Portland. On
motion of Dr. A. C. Smith the session
continued uninterruptedly until 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when the pub
lic session in the First Presbyterian
church was held.

The annual election of officers, sched
uled to have taken place on Thursday,

BOARD ADOPTS DESIGN BY
WHITEHOISE & HONE YM AN.
Cost of New Building In Albina Will
Be Met With $250,000
Bond Issue.
After three days of continuous work
in examining 11 plans, submitted by
architects for the new High school to.
be erected in Albina. the Board of Edu
cation yesterday morning adopted the
plans furnished by Whltehouse & Honey-ma
n. School Architect T. J. Jones
received the second prize of $500: Ka
tie & Kable received the third prize of
8300, and McNaughton, (Raymond &
Lawrence received the fourth prize of
200. There was much merit In all
plans exhibited, but some were too
elaborate and others severely plain,
leaving the members of the board and
Architect W. M. Summerville. of Se
attle, acting as judge, to select what
is believed to be a medium design.
The bond issue, ordered to cover the
expense of the new High school is
J250.000, and it was necessary to con
fine the plans to a structure to be
built within that limit, or nearly so.
To select such a design from the num
ber submitted was a difficult task, but
the members of the Board of Educa
tion feel that they have taken the best
plan of them all. everything being
fairly and fully considered. The build
ing will probably be of brick and terra
cotta finish outside, although this is
one of the details yet to be determined
upon. k
The building will be three stories
and basement, and one of the principal
features is the large amount of natural
light that will be provided under the
plan adopted. Ventilation is also a
large factor in the structure.
When completed, the building will
easily accommodate 1200 pupils, and
City Superintendent Rigler states that
1500 could be housed with comfort. It
is hoped the construction will be com
pleted by the . opening of the Septem
ber term. 1909, but If the entire build
ing is not ready, - it is probable the
basement will be used for that term. A
staff of about 10 teachers will be re
quired for the first term, it is esti
mated. There will be 30 class-rooms. 13 on
the ground floor. The basement will
be equipped with kitchen and dining
room, manual training department,
physical laboratory and other neces
sary rooms. The assembly-room will
be on the ground floor. It will have a
total seating capacity of 1350 people.
The third floor will contain depart
mental laboratories, drawing-rooms
and literary society quarters. Fire es
capes will be placed wherever needed.
There will be five ground-floor exits.
