The court then ex cused the defendant and the attorneys until 3 o'clock, at w,hich time the jury will resume its deliberations. Son Francisco, June 19. For the first time since his trial commenced, more than five months ago. Patrick Calhoun, firesldont of the United Railroads, who s accused of bribing- ex-Supervisor Fred P. Nichols to vote tor an overhead trol ley franchise, appeared nervous today. He was a trifle pale and his fingers twined about each other in a manner which Indicated a troubled mind. Francis J. Heney, special prosecutor, entered upon the closing hours of his final address with characteristic energy and showed even more vim than he did In the days previous. He spoke rapidly and successfully forestalled attempts of counsel for the defense to continue their tactic of yesterday, when the prosecu tor was continually harassed by trivial objections, two memDera or me uai houn forces paid closest attention to Heney's remarks, while the rest of the defense lawyers devoted their time" to looking through the transcript In search or technicalities wmcn might be inter posed. The crowd around the courtroom was not so large early today as It has been heretofore, but there were more women among the spectators than usual. Satur day business kept a large number, of members of the usual mala throng from occupying their accustomed places be fore noon. ' ' Ths Duty of the Juror. t ' Heney took up his argument at the point In the testimony relating to the trapping or the boodllng supervisors by Detective W. J. Burns. He dwelt on this subject for some time and bit terly arraigned some of the statements made by witnesses for the defense. Luther Brown, chief of the United Rail roads detective force, was the chief ob ject of Heney's attack and he made the flat assertion that Brown was a per. jurer. Concluding his argument Heney said: "You jurors have but one considera tion before you when you retire for, your deiiDerations, ana mat is that you may leave there and go home to your families with the full testimony of your conscience that you have performed ?our duty to God and man according o your conscience, so help you God. I leave this case la your hands confi dently expecting that San Francisco will have no reason to question the conscientiousness of .your verdict in this case." Henev, hoarse of voice but still fight ing with his old spirit, made probably the most Impassioned argument ever made before any 12 men sitting in the trial of a criminal case in the state of California. The courtroom was crowded and prosecution and defense had mar shalled around them as many of their supporters as. they could crowd Into the courtroom.

He scored all of the alleged false charges made by the defense. He flayed the defendant and all of the men who have been with him in this trial. He made an elaborate appeal to the jury not to let any fraternal prejudice Interfere with them In the finding of their verdict. He read, at length from a speech of Charles A. Woodruff, a high Mason, made before Golden Gate (Continued on Page Three.) RANCHER FLEES IN ABJECT TERROR FROM AN ARMED SCARECROW (United Praia Leased Wire.) Novato. Cal, June 19.

Ross was driving- to his home from Novato lata yesterday.' Passing a field he saw standing near a fence a shabbily dressed man who held an upraised gun. Terrified, Ross lashed his horse to a gallop and flashed by the scarecrow at a frightful pace. He continued to beat the horse until it got beyond his control.

Those lo oally Interested in the erection of I new oostomce in roMlana are entnu elastic because of his coming, believing that when he sees the congested condi tion of the malls here he will return to Washington recommending an appro priation for a building that will be an honor' to the city. "It would be a great tiling to nave a pleader at court in the person of the postmaster general," said Postmaster Young this morning. ' The postmaster's collection of data referring to the growth of Portland and its increase in population during the past 10 years Is almost complete. It will show extraordinary Increases not only In the number of residents In the city, but also in every branch of trade and industry. . The data and figures will be forwarded to the postal department at Washington as soon as completed and rotten into proper form. Mr. Young believes that the array will bring con viction to the Washington officials that Portland must have a new postofflce and federal building, and that the ap- firoprlation will need be unusually large n order to cover the needs of the pres ent and near future.

Portland Is to have marching soldiers, closed stores and a safe ad sane Fourth of July celebration, judging trom pres ent Indications. It was stated by Ad jutant General Finzer this morning that the Oregon National Guard, or at least that portion of it In Portland, will have a military parade Monday, July 5. Oth er than this, however, there seems to be no effort being made to observe the Fourth by any especial celebration. There Is some talk of the Yacht club's holding a regatta on July S, but this has not been definitely determined upon. Many of the yacht club members de sire to take short cruises at that time, while there Is some probability of a club cruise being taken. This, however, has not been settled and It Is probable that no regatta will be held unless spe cial trophies should be hung up for the winners of the competitions. It was decided at u meeting of the Portland Retail Merchants' association held last night, .that the members of the association would not keep their stores open on Monday, July 5. This action was taken during the discussion of late closing on Saturday nights. It being at the same time decided to close all stores not later than 10:30 o'clock on those evenings. Those in favor of a safe and sane celebration are planning to make an ef fort leading to the elimination of the dangerous forms of amusement usually participated in by the boys, small and large, on the Fourth. In their effort thev are talking of asking the city council to adopt the same series of "don ts" adopted by the Chicago author ities recently, and embodied In bulletins issued to the police lore, the dealers n fireworks and the general public. These "don'ts" are as follows: "Don't discharge fireworks of" any kind or description on any other day than on Monday July 6, 1909v "uon t discharge any cannon or any piece of artillery. "Don't place any torpedo, bomb cr other thing of an explosive nature on streetcar or railroad tracks.

An unsuc cessful attempt to rob the safe In the Lyle hardware store at Echo was made Thursday morning about 2 o'clock. The burglars were frightened away by the barking of a dog. . The robbers pried open the front door of the store and then blew open the big door of the safe by using nitroglycerine. They did not open the inner door of the safe, and as "a. result the contents were not molested, nor was anything taken from the store, as far as has been dis covered. The fact that the Inner door was not opened Indicates that the bur glars became frightened away. Further evidence to this and also the fact that In their haste they left a half pint of ni troglycerine behind them. Sheriff Taylor was notified of the at tempted robbery an6f accompanied by Deputy Bert Wilson came down In the forenoon to take up the search. The store was entered by burglars several months ago.

KEEPS KEY TO IK STATE i Harriman Again Blocks Competition by a Traffic Agreement with C, 31. & St. P. Plummer, IdahoJ Transfer Point. , Vi Having sucessfully, contraverted competition on the part of ths Northern Pacific and the Hill lines, Harriman, with hia trackage agree ments extending over the northwest, has now strengthened his hold upon the Oregon territory still further by entering into a traffic agreement with the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul which prevents that system building Into Portland. . Ever since the Milwaukee began t6 plan its Pacific coast extension, there have been many promises and rumors of a line to Portland, guaranteeing Port land an equal position witn raget souna as a terminus of the transcontinental line. As time went on and no line Was. started to Portland, these assertions grew only more' rrantlc. 'iney are brought to an untimely end by an an nouncement by K. B. Miner, general freight agent of the O. R. & N. that Harriman has again stepped into the breach In the good old Harriman waji kept another railroad out of Portland Dy a -trainc agreement- ,j t; "TfuhiiaiaoT tress Sees Benefits. Following every announcement of fl move by the Harriman lines the sub sidised press prints a statement of the benefits to accrue to' Portland through the kindness or Harriman. The usual list following the announcement of the latest traffic agreement did not mention the fact that the Milwaukee is forced to give up a line into Portland and thnt the O. R. A N. still remains as the only railroad .connecting 'Portland; directly withChlcago .' . " : The agreement entered into ' by ths Milwaukee and the Harriman lines states that all freight bound for Port land over the Milwaukee shall be turned over, to the O. R. &. N. at Plummer. Idaho, on the Wallace branch of the O. R. & N., where the O R. & 'N. and the Milwaukee meet. The one and only benefit that can come to Portland as a result of this agreement is that It gives Portland a chance- to compete with Seattle in a portion of the coun try east of Plummer a country that Is now largely tapped by the Northern Pacific. But little new territory is opened up because the Milwaukee for most of the distance parallels the Northern Pacific line within a few miles. , r n. II O. I . I .. Kg 1 11. 1 111, 111. V V ... T I HI. Inland empire district of eastern Wash ington and western Idaho already ex ists between the Spokane, Portland & Seattle and the Inland Empire system. The Inland Empire had no possible way of building into Portland from Spokane and the agreement between that sys tem and the North Bank added practi cally all of that territorv to Portlands . The' new Harriman-Mllwaukee agree ment, however, adds but little territory to Portland and keeps out a transcontU nental line that would have assisted In relieving the railroad situation here ss regards the Harriman dominance. It Is the belUf of "the men who pay the freight" generally, that Harriman has once more successfully warded off the dangers of competition into what he has long regarded as his own private domain.
