Testi mony that he was to give 10 per cent of his illegal liquor sales profits to the democratic national campaign fund Ln return for protection re calved, was given by Harry Marquard, a San I-Yancisco cafe man, in the trial here today of Harry Brolaski, broker, and others on indictments charging a widespread conspiracy to obtain and sell bonded liquors. Brolaski had promised him protection, the witness said. Douglas Newton and Jules Gamage appeared in the conspiracy as lesser lights and Hugo K. Asher, Brolaski's chief counsel in the case, was a parti cipant in one plot, according to gov ernment testimony. Newton withdrew whisky on sev eral occasions, it was testified, sell ing some of it to Harry Marquard. recently sentenced to six months im prisonment for selling liquor to his patrons. Marquard testified that Brolaski promised him "protection" and told him to contribute 10 per cent of his liquor profits to the 'democratic election fund." The defense appeared to be sur prised by the testimony of the first two government witnesses, that Brolaski offered to secure the with draw! of 12 barrels of whisky for a $12,000 preliminary fee and that Asher, who was present at the time, was to hold the money until delivery of the barrels had been made. The whisky belonged to John J. Breen, one of these witnesses. The story was not shaken on cross-examination. Fred A. Anderson of Reno testified that Brolaski got him a wholesale liquor dealers' permit from govern ment authorities, and that Newton sold him two. barrels of whisky which he took to Reno in his automobile. Newton said Brolaski and Asher would bail him out of jail if he was arrested. Anderson declared, but ad vised him to "treat like a highway man" any government authority who tried to search his car en route with out a warrant. i SHOOTING !S DESCRIBED TESTIMOXY IS COMPLETED IX j RADER TRIAL.

Frederick Rder, on tri -I for the second time before the circuit court here for the alleged shooting of E. 13. McCue, killed on a ranch near John Day, Or., in February. 1918, took the stand today. Before resting its case the defense also call '""Frank. Hales, only eve-witness of the shoot ing, who was not called by the state yesterday. Hales told his account of the shoot ing, and his answers to .rigid cro s examining left little doubt but that he was of the opinion Rader had shot McCue ln self-defense. He and Rader rode to the McCue ranch on the day of the shooting, he told the Jury. Upon reaching the cabin, Rader went into the house while he stayed outside. Shortly aft erward Rader invited him into the house because of the cold weather. McCue and Rader were quarreling when he reached the house. Hales tes tified, and McCue had his smaller op ponent down and was beating his head. Hales asked McCue to let Rader up, saying he would try to setfte the matter peaceably. McCue complied. Hales said, but just as they were about to leave McCue made another pass at Rader and it was then, he said, that the de . f endant drew his revolver. Six shots were fired. Rader's testimony corroborated the story told by Hales. He had gone to Settle with McCue for a pasture bill which he owed his father, he said. Four other witnesses were called by the defense to testify that the dead man had been of a cuarrelsome disposition. The case win be argued tomorrow. It was remanded for a new trial by the state supreme court. ELOPERS ARE CAPTURED PAIK Rl'XS IXTO POLICE.MAX IX DESCEM FROM TRAIX. Cold Ride on Blind Baggage Leads Boy and Girl to Jail, But Bluecoats Relent. SAN FRANCISCO. Bert Lewis of Oakland and Gurtha Masteson o? Westwood, both 20 years old, ar rived in Oakland, exhausted, after completing a sensational blind-baggage elopement on a Ve3tern Pacific train. While warm, comfortable passen gers were issuing from well-heated coaches Lewis, shivering and coat less, jumped stiffly to the ground and lifted his sweetheart and pal from her cold iron c uch on the tiny platform between the baggage car and engine tender. As they stumbled of toward a row of freight cars a "fly cop", grabbed them and hustled them off to Central station. Lewis' story of the'r courage and devotion in spite of hardship so softened the hearts of the police station men that the charges of vagrancy against them were effaced. Their parents, he said, were op posed to the marriage. So they boarded a train at Westwood to elope to Oakland. When the train was under way Lewis found his pockets had been picked. They were put off at Taxton. without money or friends. About . midnight a passenger train stopped at Paxton and the young couple covertly hopped on, hoping to reach Oakland and seek protection at Lewis' home, 828 Alice street. Lewis sacrificed his coat to provide additional warmth for his sweetheart during the freezing ride on the engine tender. But their suffering and hardship are not to go for naught. The Oak land police set out to win over Lewis' parents and succeeded. The wedding is to take place. R1GHT-0F;WAY GIVEN UP Company Surrenders Grant Along Oregon Coast.
