' r'f The Booth Jury waa com- pleted -this afternoon by the ac ceptaace of Daniel W. Wenne- 4) berg, of Portland. Owing to the ' fact that . tha attorneya wera ; not ready for tile opening argu 4 menta and prfmarUy because of the death of Ex-president Grover Cleveland, Judge Wolver ton ad- " iourned the court until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, v It ! was announced by the court that the trial would consume four daya and the Jury , panel .waa excused until : Wedneaday next at 10 o'clock. . , ,' Eleven men chosen and one man half chosen was the record of the federal court up to noon today where the at torneys ; for tha - government and for the defense are wrestling with tha task of selecting "IS unbiased men to say whether James Henry Booth did or did not receive money for Advance informa tlon regarding valuable lands wanted by Frederick A. Kribe. With 10 men who had passed the entrance requirements as Jurymen sitting in the box j this morning Judge Webster and General Backer continued the examination 11 search of the remaining two. Complete jury Today. tj rivanitr a Portland man con nected with tha Columbia Woolen Mills store, had oeen put in the box for his vnmination vesterdav afternoon. - He said this morning that he had a num ber of friends who had been mixed up in the land cases and waa challenged temporarily by the def ensa. - Clarence C. Tripp, a buyer for Wad ams and Kerr of Portland a as the next man and he passed the tests, being ac cepted by both aides and thus leaving Only one vacancy to be filled. Ferry Tomltnson said he knew Heney and considered him to be an abU man and was challenged peremptorily. by the defense, - .: ' ' . ' Daniel W. Wenneberg, a warehouse man of Portland, was the next man up and after an exhaustive exsmlnatlon by Judge Webster was accepted by the defense? General Becker for the gov ernment was not sura at noon that he wanted the man as a Juror and asked leave to continue his examination dur ing the opening of the afternoon ses-, eion of the court It Is probable, how-j ever., that Mr.; Wenneberg will ? com-; . .plete ha' Jury. ! V.- :sj - According to tha prognostlcatlona of both the government and the defense the Booth cae should be closed, so far as alimony la concerned, by Saturday -mon or by the evening at the latest In thr.t ease the arguments would be completed Monday or . Tuesday and the cose sent to the Jury.. Tbe evidence Is largely documentary 1 on the govern ment s side,-while the defense calculates that one day will suffice for the pre sentation of its sida f tha argument ; . Heney end Barns Coming. . v The defendant, James Henry Booth, will in all probability toe the chief wit ness for the defense, while Frederick . s i?rih who la sutDOS?d to have paid ' the money to Booth, which action re sulted -in the Indictment, will be promi nent on the stand for the government. . Francis J. Heney and J William J. nl alun ha witnesses in rebuttal for the ' government, should they be needed. Both men have been ; asked to come bv Ueneral iiecaer. ana it is ex pected that Burns will leave San Fran rlsrn for Portland tonight , it is ex pect that Heney will reach Portland by Saturday morning to be present dur ing the presentation of the defense. - The reason for this is that the government expects to use Thomas B. Neuhausen ns a witness, against Booth. Should Booth, while on the stand, contradict Neuhausen's testimony the government wants to hava Burns and Henev present no rebut the testimony or tne aerenaant It Ik ex nee ted that the opening argu- met,ta by the government and the de- fenne will IM compietea mis ariernoon.

Presiding Judge Gantenbelnln the clr mu niirt this mornlnr dissolved tho temporary Injunction ha previously had , Issued, by which tha county court. wast restrained from declaring tha result of j the recent local option election In pre clnct No. 81, and as soon as tha county court receives off icial notlca of this action the drouth will be on. 4 ' There remains pending In the cir cuit court autt for permanent In Junction, brought In .tha name of Ed Magoon, a saloonkeeper of St Johns, who alleges that his business will bs damaged beyond repair If tha prohibi tion lid is applied. To this, auit tha Srohlbs will have to make answer or emur, and the case will take the usual course In the courts. Meantime, un less some new move Is made by the saloon Interests, the doors of the thirst quenchers must be closed. , Judge Qantenbeln rejected the claim of the liauor Interests that precinct 89 could not be lawfully Included, with- the two el. jonns precincts in a vow uu local option.. First of all he overruled the contention that the oueBtlon could only be properly raised on demurrer, and that a motion to dissolve the In junction could not -be heard. He held that a motion to dissolve was proper. It waa argued by the liquor interest attorneya that because Precinct 89 held an election and went dry two years ago it could not be joined with other precincts in a subdivision until It had separately voiea una gone wet i uhKeouent election. This . theory of the matter was drawn from section 14, of the local option law, the question turning on the Interpretation of the word ' suoaivision.-' Judge Gantenbeln referred to section 1 of . the same act In which Is given a definition of subdivision," declaring that a subdivision may consist of two or as many more precincts as may de sire to unite In voting on tha question of prohibition. Judge Gantenbeln aald that to his mind It is clear that tha framers of the local option law Intended to dis criminate between "precinct" and "sub division." Whether this is Just or not Is Something with which tha court does not deal, said Judae Gantenbeln. but he Is convinced that a subdivision must in every -case be composed of two or more fireclneta. - He therefore held that the nclusion of precinct 89 with tha St. Johns precincts was not a violation of the law.' Several St. Johns people wera present In the courtroom to hear tha decision. and as tha deciding words were pro nounced one of tha more enthusiastic cold water men exclaimed. "Good". In very: audible, tones.- Commissioner LlKhtner stated after learning of the decision that, tha county court proDamy win - aeciare me restiii and enter the usual order r abolishing the saloons in 91. as soon" as official notice of the decision Is received. Eight saloons win go out or ousiness as a result. BUD BARNES GOES V TO SECOND TRIAL (gpeclal PbiMttrti to The JonrtuiLi Walla Walla. Wash., June 24.
