Major Butt, and Mr. Hilles. his secretary. "Socialists believe that their creed will save the world." Or. Leavttt said.

Work of bolstering and repairing old Fort Sheridan, which is located near this elty, and which Is the old histori cal fort named after the famous Phil Sheridan, has begun, and the old struc ture will be moved In a few days to the City of Dayton. The latter city was presented with the old fort last Fall by the Federal Government, to be placed In the City Park. At the time Sheridan cltlxens were Incensed over what they claimed to be an unjust and Indiscriminate donation of the old land site which bears the name of this city, and telegrams and letters of protest were forwarded to Senator Chamberlain . to have the grift revoked at once. Dayton's right to the old fort was sustained, however, the Government arguing that that city had shown the most interest in the welfare and destiny of the historic structure in response to a notice that the old fort would be given to the city asking for It. Sheridan cltlxens threatened to "re capture" the old fort when It passed through this city. Telegrams and let ters if protest were sent by all the commercial bodies in this section to have (he old fort bearing "Immortal Phil's" name left on its old site, it be ing argued that the structure was so rotten that It would suffer total de struction If moved any distance.

Jury May Deliberate by 5 o'clock Tomorrow Evening Acquittal Is Impression in Some Sources. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 15. (Special.) With the examination Saturday of George 11. Wilson, the defendant on trial for the murder of Nettle Coble, at Rainier, on July 10. the taking of testimony tn the case was brought to a close. Court was adjourned until Monday morning by Judge Mitchell In order to give time to prepare his Instruc tions to the Jury. On Monday the court's Instructions and the final arguments- of the attorneys will be given, after which the case will be In the hands of the Jury. It Is ex pected to reach the Jury at S o'clock Monday evening. The general Impression seems to be that the trial will result In either an aoqulttal of a "hung" Jury. The prisoner proved the strongest witness in his own behalf. He told a atralghtforward story and was never contradicted. He attributed the al leged confeaslon to persuasion of the authorities and the high nervous ten sion under which he labored. He told how being In Jail had preyed upon his mind and how the stories told him by the authorities made him think he had committed the crime. He dis played signs of being superstitious when, upon starting to leave the wit ness stand, he refused to go back un til he had walked over and sat down. He declared It was a bad sign to "turn back." and the authorities let him have his way. Italian Dreadnought Launched. GENOA. Oct. 15.
