BORAH IS ACQUITTED I ASSASSIN NOT CAUGHT. Officers Confident Slayer of Brown Is Still in Baker. JJaker City. Oct. 4. Out of the tan- AH Boise Rashes to CoDgntoIile gf fStuSSS Their Senator. BELLS RING AND BANDS PLAY Jury Out Fourteen Minutes-Kludge Refused to Give Instructed Verdict of Not Guilty. Boise, Oct 3. United States Senator Borah last night was acquitted of the charge of conspiring to defraud the gov ernment of valuable Idaho timber land. The case was submitted without argu ment ou the part of the defense, Vnd the jury was out just long enough to take one ballot. The verdict was greet ed with cheers and applause, which the court officials made no effort to restrain. This demonstration in the courtroom served only as a beginning. As soon as the news reached the outside, bells were rung and the city fiie department made a spectacular run through the principal streets, stopping eventually at the Idanha hotel, where Mr. Borah, surrounded by several hundred of his friends and fellow citizens, was escort ed. A brass band appeared as if by macic. and. as the senator reached the hotel steps, played "Hail to the Chief." The streets about the hotel were block ed by the cheering throng, whose shouta mincled with the screech ot the hre en gine whistles and the clang of trolley car bells. Mr. Borah thanked his hear era for their demonstration and the con fidence they reposed in him throughout the trial. Mr. Borah held an impromptu recep tion in the courtroom and another in the lobby of the hotel, wheie he was called upon for a speech. Wherever he went during the evening he was cheered and congratulated, the verdict apparently being a most popular one throughout the community. Events moved fast on the last day of the trial. When court met in the morning, Judge Whitson announced that he would overrule the motion cf the defense for an instructed verdict of net guilty. Mr. Borah thereupon took the stand in his own behalf and gave his expla nation of the matter which the govern ment attorneys urged as tending to con nect him with an alleged conspiracy lis testimony was a denial 01 any inwoledge of fraud and a brief, clear cut statement of all his acts as general counsel for the Barber Lumber com panv. The senator was cross examined at some length and as soon as this was over the defense rested. There being no evidence to rebut, the government also closed, and argument was begun after the luncheon recess Special Assistant Attorney General B. E. Rush, of Omaha, opened for the gov ernment, and, when he had concluded a two-hours' address, the defense an nounced that no argument would be marie on behalf of Mr. Borah. Both prosecution and presiding judge were surprised by this move, and the latter ordered a recess of an hour in which to prepare his instructions. In these he tcld the jurors the cir cumstances depended upon to connect an accused person with a conspiracy must p nt exclusively to guilt. If tbey were inconsistent, it was the duty of the mrv to acquit. A conviction, Judge Whitson declared, could not be found upon suspicions circumstances It was not sufficient, the court held, that a man should be shown to have corruptly engage in it, an to have had guilty knowledge of its objects. The jury was out 14 minutes. Dur ing this time no one left the court room, a verdict of "not guilty" having been freely predicted and expected after a very brief deliberation. As soon as the words "not guilty" fell from the lips of the clerk the cheering broke forth. At its conclusion the judge slightly reprimanded the audience for "improper conduct," but said he would not attempt to punish anyone for con tempt. night has come the belief that the vic tim met death at the hands or memDora of tho Westorn Federation of Miners for apparent infidelity to tho Federa tion. Officers and detectives working on tho trail of the muiderer say they have evidence that Brown was paid Federation money to testify in behalf of Adams and do other woik for the miners. His relations with tho foes of the Federation are supposed to have aroused suspicion and marked him for slaughter. So much for tho murder motive. As for capturing the murderer, not much progress seems to have been made. The assassin left as a clew only his smell in tho earth where he lay to put the dyna mite wire, and tho smell is growing fainter, so that it will probably not further lead the bloodhounds. But because the dogs picked up the fresh scent vesterday and because the county jail was visited in the ear dark Thursday morning Dy two men seeking to bribe the lone prisoner to poison the dogs or cut their throats, the assassin is thought to be near by JAPANESE POURING IN. OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST PRUNE YIELD BIG. Hundreds Crossing International Bor der from Canada. Bellingham, Wash., Oct. 4. As a re sult of investigations by D. B. Babcock, a special agent of the United States Treasury department, sent to Vancou ver when the anti-Japanese riots oc curred, a force of Uncle Sam's officials will be installed at the international boundary line to keep back the scores of Japanese who are daily crossing into the United States. Babcock was sent to Vancouver post haste from Washington, D. C, to in vestigate and report on the immigra tion situation and the results of tho riots. Quietly he has been carrying out his commission, Next week he will return to Washington. He was sur prised to find that hundreds of Japan ese had wrongfully crossed the inter national boundary and were countinu ing to do so. The American Immigration office did its duty so far as possible, but there was no hindrance to foreigners in any number taking not only an under ground, but an aboveground, broad day light, route and walking across the boundary in the shelter of friendly woods. Now a big staff of guards is to be placed at Blaine and an efficient patrol system undertaken. Official figures shew that 1,600 Japan ese have come to the unitea fctates from Vancouver in the last three months. Of this number at least half have dodged the officers at Blaine and wrongfully entered this country. CONVICTION SURE. Government Has Ample Proof of Re bates by S. P. San Francisco, Oct. 4. John H. Marble, one of the attornys represent ing the Federal government in the in vestigation being conducted in this city by Interstate Commerce Commissioner Franklin K. Lane into the subject of secret railroad rebates and other abuses, Eaid today that the officials have suffi cient evidence to convict officials of tho Southern Pacific Bailroad company of such violation in at least 50 cases. is understood the matter will be re ferred to the Washington authorities very shortlv, and that United State3 District Attorney Devlin will be asked to present the facts to the Federal grand jury. Mr. Marble called atten tion to today's- testimony of J. C Stubbs, assistant freight agent of the Southern Pacific, who showed tho dis crimination and rebates in favor of the large shippers. "When it comes to favoring the large shipper and discriminating against the smaller shipper conditions are worse in California than anywhere else in the United States," said Mr Marble. "I do not see bow it is poBsi ble for the smaller concerns to exist at all under the circumstances." Southern Oregon Produces Crop of Excellent Quality. Myrtle Creek The harvesting of the piuuo crop throughout tho prune dis tricts in the southern pait of Oregon la now nearing tho end. Tho season has been an exceptional one for tho grower off ruit. Intermittent rains havo pro duced a yiold unusual and a sizo and oualltv hardly boforo known. Tho French or Petite pruno ia the ono most extensively grown and in ordinary years fruit weighing 70 and 80 pr-unes to the pound would bo considered good, while this season has produced fruit weighing 35 to 40 prunes to tho pound Douglas, Jackson and Josephino counties havo always produced Oregon's best French prunes. This fruit is equal if not superior to tho famous Santa Clara valley pruno boasted of by all California fruitgrowers. Thero will probably be about 150 .carloads of this fruit shipped from the packing houses of tho Douglas County Fruitgrowers' association at Rosoburg and 50 carloads from the E. S. French company's plant at Myrtle Creek. In addition to tho excellence of tho yield this season the growers havo been favcied with very high prices in the Eastern market, owing t tho failuro of fruit crops throughout the East. Tho fruit will in most cases be shipped di rect to the markets at New York, Chi cago, fat. Louis, iNew urieans anu oiner cities, while some of it will reach tho best mrkets of Europe. Correspondence Course for Teachers. University of Oregon, Eugene With a view to bringing the work of the uni versity within the reach of the teachers of the state and others who find it im possible to attend the regular sessions, the department of education of tho uni versity is announcing a number of cor respondence courses.

Bids have been called for from contractors by the re gents of the University of Washington for three buildings which are to be erected upon thb university campus at beattle. These buildings are to cost in the neighborhood of $550,000, and are to form a part of the Alaska-Yukon' Pacific exposition, which is to be held in Seattle in the summer of 1909. The legislature appropriated this money with the expectation of having the buildings used for the exposition and then turned over to the university. Must Answer Charges New York, Oct. 3.

The new primary law passed at the special ses sion of the legislature in 1906 was de clared unconstitutional today by the Supreme court, which reversed the lower court's decision and remands the case. Ihe court left nothing of the act upon which a new law can be construct ed. The court holds that the law vlo lates the constitution because it sped fies more than the title. It says the title does not confine the operation of the act to the actions of political par ties. Memorial to U. S. Grant. jincinnau, uct. -i . in the presence ot a distinguished gathering that in eluded many old army associates, a me morial tablet at tho birthplace of Pres ident U. S.

"I do not fear for tho state's posi tion in this matter," eaid Mr. Craw lord. "Tho initiative was cnnctedslm ply as a corrective and does not destroy tho representative lorm oi Bovernmom of tho stnto constitution. Tho tcle- nhono comnnnv has undoubtedly pro pared its strongest caso and I will work along tho linen which I have just stated bo far as I can tell at present.

Referendum Tics Up Funds. University of Oregon, Eugene Al though the girls' dormitory and tho now library building have been completed, it is not probablo that they can bo used this year, on account of lack of monoy for furnishing and heating them. The referendum has tied m tho funds with which it was expected to install sn ad ditional boiler at the heating plant The two boilers in use. now are already taxed to their fullest capacity. Tho university is badly crowded for addi tional recitation rooms and a dormitory for girls was especially needed. The main library room in tho new building has been partially fitted up, and will bo used. Ship Peaches by Carload.

During tho present Eeafon more than 40 carloads have been ship ped direct to Spokane, Montana and the Dakotas. Heretofore tho shipments havo been made in smaller lots and to tho comniifsion houses.
