"Resolved, That w requeat the
board of directors of the Lewis and
Clark exposition to close and keep
cloaed the gates of the exposition on
the lxrd,a day and that a committee of
live be appointed to communicate this
request.
The above resolution waa adopted at
a meeting of the Ministers' association
this niurning, at the Conclusion or a pa
per by Pastor K. M. Sharp of the First
U. K church. In which he took the
ground that the fair should be closed
to the public on Sundays for the sake
of morals. The reverend gentleman
spoke at length on the Importance of
observing the Sabbath day in this mat
tar, aa In all others.
After he had finished, a general dls
cussloa took place. There were prob
ably IS ministers In attendance, aud It
beeume evident early In the proceed
ings that they were, almost to a man
opposed to the Bunday opening of the
grounds.
The Rev. J. H. Lelper supplemented
the tlrst paper with a doctrinal reading
on the subject, quoting scripture In
support of the stand the ministers have
taken.
"We owe -U to the church of ChiiJt
to stand Arm against the opening of the
rates of the LmwIs and Clark expos!
tion on Sunday." said he. "The church
la striving to reach the masses In our
own country. They are blindly stum
bling about to find the Savior and His
temnle: shall we lead them out among
the master of th chisel and the brush?
Or Into a labyrinth of tapestry and
bric-a-brac T JSvery enterprise that op
erates aeven days In ths week has
proven an engine to batter down the
citadel of the laboring man a liberty.
The resolution quoted waa. as stated,
adopted, and a committee conalstlng of
Pastors House, Gilbert, Ueppe. Brougher
and Short was appointed to convey the
request to fair headquarters.
Secretary Henry K. Reed, when In
formed of the action of the ministers,
remarked, reluctantly:
"1 hope that a wrong impression does
not prevsll concerning the Sunday fea
tures of the fair. It la our Intention.
and It has been known for some time, to
hold a series of religious conferences and
educational Institutes, one or more each
Sunday, In which all the ministers of
Hie city will be requested to participate.
That Is all I wish to say at present."
Other business transacted by the asso
ciation this morning Included a talk by
Mrs. Huckster on methods of prevent
ing traffic In women. She expressed the
belief that much good can be accom
plished here by the efforts of a union of
all religious bodies, w. B. uuoert re
ported for the Oregon Prisoners' Aid as
sociation that out of 41 cases It had
handled, only three ex-oonvleta had
fallen Into crime again.
THIS BOY WILL STAY
AT HOME HEREAFTER
"I have had all the running I want. I
am willing to stay at home now."
Thus spoke lt-year-old Arthur No
land, as he applied to Police Captain
Urltsmacher this morning to help him
find his father, who conducts a restau
rant In the city. Sergeant Slover left
the station with the lad on a hunt for the

lands they secured were obtained hon
estly. Several of the government's wit
nesses were bitterly assailed by ths at
torney. R B Montagus, the deputy county
clerk from Unn county, was alluded to
as a "scoundrel of the deepest dye," and
J. AY. W. He Idee ka, the mountaineer Who

the affidavit Job himself; he waa never
told by Puter to do it. His own twisted
and twirled story leaves no other conclusion."
'Do criminals come out In the open"
asked the lawyer In reverting to his con
tentlon that his brother had not been
connected with the frauds. "Puter went
to Washington to 1get patents expedited

mtdlenlee the Experts.
The government's experts upon hand
writing were made the target of many
sarcastic shafts. Mr. Shearman, who
comes from Wichita, waa termed "the
fellow from the grasshopper country,
form tha state thst Is noted for having
almost everything In the line of curiosi
ties."
Sherman's testimony Identifying tne
signatures of th pretended home-

In conclusion Mr. Puter urged the
Jury to consider the famlHea of the de

that when he returned to California he
would carry with him to the wife and

Mr. Puter concluded his argument at
11:16 o'clock.
Over Defends MlxoseU.
Judge O'Day. who followed for the de-
fenae, occupied some time In comment
unon features of the trial which haa
seemed to reflect upon himself, and he
earnestly declared that the reflections
hus cast uDon him were untrue and un
merited. Before entering upon a dis
cussion of the evidence he Indulged In
some sarcastic comment upon the attor
neys for the prosecution, and especially
Mr. Heney, with whom he has frequently
crossed swords during the trial. These
lashes have engendered some personal
feeling on the part of Judge O'Day. and
It was apparent In his caustic refer
ences to opposing counsel.
William J. Burns, tne government se
cret service agent who haa had charge
of the gathering of the evidence for th
prosecution, also came In for some sax
casms.
Who earn the money to pay theae
men 7" aaked the attorney, alluding to
Heney and Burns. "Who paya the 150,
000 or, $100,000 which la being spent on
this case? Why the people pay It. and
that meana you and me yet we are only
white chips In the game. we aon i
amount to much. I am only a white
chip and the red stacks and the blue
stacks are to follow after I get through."
Repeated allusions were made to Mr.
Heney's "110.000 speeches."
"I am no such orator as ne, aaia
Judge O'Day. "1 am a little too thick
tongtied, though I do think, when I am
allowed to do so. Then, too, I haven't
that beautiful, benevolent smile. If I
had that I would go out snd hug myself
for three days at a time.
It was not until after the noon recess
that Judge O'Day entered upon the erl-
ous discussion of th evidence In th
case.
