Decision Known Today. TRIAL TAKES TWO WEEKS Portland Company Prosecuted for Alleged Illegal Combine to Restrain Trade. After a deliberation of nearly ten houra, the Jury sitting in the case of the government against R. P. But- cbart, president, and Clark Moore, sales manager of the Oregon Portland Cement company, handed in a sealed verdict to the court. The verdict will be opened this morning before Federal Judge Bean. The Jury retired at 12:45 P. M. yester day and the talesmen could not agree on a decision: until about 10:30 o'clock at night. By stipulation of counsel for both sides, the jury was allowed to submit a sealed verdict, s that the jurors could return to their homes for the night. Two weeks' presentation of evidence preceded the placing of the case In the hands of the Jury. A for mer Jury disagreed) on the same case. Traat Law Violated, Charge. The company is being prosecuted under the Sherman anti-trust law on the charge of entering into an illegal combine for the restraint of trade. The maximum sentence for conviction under this section of the Sherman law is a fine of $5000 and imprisonment for one year. Final arguments by United States Attorney Humphreys were presented yesterday morning. Federal Judge Bean completed his instructions to the Jury shortly before 1 o'clock. In his Instructions Judge Bean called attention to the fact that while Butchart had denied telling Amar Moore, star government witness, that he had formed the alleged illegal combine, as attested by Moore, he did not deny that such a combine had been established. Butchart, declared Judge Bean, failed in his testimony to explain certain letters introduced in evidence by the government tend ing to show that such a combine was formed. Because of these two facte, the jurist said, the jury might draw a legitimate Inference that an illegal combine was formed. Operations Held Extensive. The government maintained In the ease that an agreement was entered Into by the local company with con cerns In California and Washington for the purpose of restraining trade. The defense denied all charges as to arbitrary division of territory ' and ether accusations made by the govern ment and advanced the prevalent car shortage as the sole reason why only orders within certain territories could he taken and filled. Assistant United States Attorney Luek was associated with Mr. Humphreys In the prosecu tion, wnile the defense was conducted by Wirt Minor and Andrew Winfree.

Presiding Judge Tazwell In the eircuit court yesterday played Santa Claus and presented divorce decrees to z mlsmated couples as his contri - button to the prevailing Christmas spirit. There was little of the Yule- tide Joy In the hearts of the men and women who sought relief from Irk some marital yokes as they detailed their stories of foundered and storm- dashed marital barks. One demure young woman who suc ceeded in freeing herself from an un happy marriage two years ago told. judge aaswen that this would be the happiest Christmas she will have en Joyed In years.

An urgent demand that the 1821 eounty budget make more ample pro vision for charity and philanthropic eases .during the coming year was tnade upon the county commissioners yesterday by Ben Selling and Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner, who prophe sied that more money will be needed . for relief work during the next year than since-1914. The county has set aside 145,000 for relief work, but both Bishop Sum ner and Mr. Selling contended that at least $75,000 will be needed during the coming year. "You haven't any moral right to cut down on charity or philanthropy," challenged Mr. Selling, when members ef the board said they were without funds to make the requested increase. "You men ought to have enough tamina to do a your consciences dictate regardless of any criticism which might be directed against you." The board' took the request under advisement, but tn so doing made It plain that at the present time they can see no hope of Increasing the budget for this relief work. Every large city has one newspaper which, by universal consent, is the Want-Ad medium, of the community. Jn Portland It's The Oregonlan.
