San 1'rancisco Cate Man Under

SAX ' FRANCISCO, Dec. 8. 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.

Attorneys to Take Case Today for
Final Arguments Defendant
Goes on Stand.
PEXDLKTOy, Or., Dec. 8. (Spe
cial.) 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.

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.
Visions of a coast line of railroad
from Grants Pass, Or., to Crescent
City, Cai., projected five years ago,
definitely faded away yesterday when
the company relinquished its federal
grant for a right of way. according
to advices received here by Lester
Humphreys, United States Attorney.
The right of way led through the
Siskiyou mountains, and it was said
that the construction work was never
completed for the reason that the
Southern Pacific company refused to
give the new road a co-operative
agreement, fearing a competing line
to an ocean povX at this point.
Twohy Brothers of Portland backed
the company, and R. B. Miller, who
was at that Jime traffic manager of
the O.-W. R. R. & N. company, be
came head of the project. The com
pany recently brought suit to recover
the land grant, but this suit was can
celled yesterday by Judge Bean upon
receipt of the news of the filing of
the relinquishment.
STRIKE TO BE CONTESTED
Operators Announce That Miners
Will Be Fought to Finish.
NEW YORK, Dec 8. Coal opera
tors in Alabama and Mingo county.
West Virginia, have determined to
fight the striking miners in these
regions "to a finish," sa!d a state
ment by George Dexter, director of

association, made public tonight by
the association.
Mr. Dexter, who owns four mines
and who has just returned from the

their murderous tactics they are at
tempting to force the other 90 per
cent to join their organization. Most
of the fighting is being done from
ambush in traditional feudal fashion."

EXTRADITION IS DENIED
Governor of Idaho Refuses Return
of Man Wanted Here.
BOISE, Ida., Dec. S. (Special.)
Governor D. W. Davis practically set
a precedent Tuesday when he re
fused to grant extradition by the
state of Oregon of Jesse Powell,
wanted by a Portland company in
connection with an automobile he had
traded which it is alleged he was
buying from the company on the in
stallment plan. Powell was arrested
in Pocatello on December 3.
The car was traded by Powell for
another in which he held an equity.
Later he was forced to sell the equity
in order to obtain money, and the
sale slip was not sufficient evidence
to the company of good faith and
Powell's arrest was ordered.
Governor Davis, in reviewing the
case, was of the opinion that the
man, who is the father of two small
children, had no intention of doing
wrong.

3 Big Meals a Day
But Still Thin
Why is it that so many people who
eat three hearty meals a day are so
thin and emaciated? It is not because,
they do not eat enough, but simplv
because they require more natural
phosphate and iron in their system
than food alone is able to pupply. It
ia really remarkable what Biood-Iron
Phosphate will do for such people; it
strengthens their nerves and enriches
their blood, puts the bloom of health
into their cheeks and, best of all, it
enables them to put on pounds of
solid, healthy flesh. Even elderly
people ' who have tried Blood-Iron
Phosphate say it makes them feel
from ten to twenty years younger
and its benefit is as lasting as it is
certain. As it is sold uncier a bind
ing guarantee of satisfaction or
money back there can be no reason
why you should not go to the Owl
Drufr Co. or any other druggist and
get enoijgii Blood-Iron Phoxphate for
a three weeks' test today and so gain
that superb energy and fine, domi
nating forcef ulness which go hand in
hand with success. It costs only $1.60
