Niw Trial Ordered In San Fran
clsce Graft Case.
APPELLATE COURT FINIS ERRORS
Louis Glass, Convicted Telephone Of
ficlal, Must Be Tried Again
i on Bribery Charge.
San Francisco, April 16. By a deci
sion of the District Court of Appeals,
handed doom today, the conviction of
Louis Glass, cx-vlco presldont and gen
eral manager of tho Pacific States Tel-
ephono company, found guilty of having
offered a bribe to Supervisor Thomas
F. Lonergan to influence his voto on
the granting of a franchise to the Home
Tel ephono company, is reversed and a
new trial ordered.
The reversal is based upon two
points: First, tho admission into evi
dence of matters pertaining to certain
transactions in relation to tho Home
Telephone company franchise at Oak
land, held by the appellate judge to be
irrelevant to the case on trial; and sec
ond, that Judge William P. Lawlor re
fused to instruct tho jury as requested
by the defense, not to allow the refusal
of E. J. Zimmer, an official of the Pa
cific States Telephone company, to tes
tify to Influence their minds, nor to
view his refusal as an indication that
be was withholding evidenco which
might incrlmlnato tho dnfense.
The decision of the appellate justices
sustains the indictment under which
Glass was tried, though after an ex
haustive discussion of its text, they
declare it to be "not a model," while
sufficient for its purpose.
The verdict against Glass was
brought en August 30, 1907, and on
September 6, 1905, ho was sentenced
by Judge Lawlor to serve five years in
the state penitentiary. The health of
the prisoner was very poor, and he was
liberated on ball on that account, pend
ing the result of bis appeal. The first
case against Glass resulted in a mis
trial, and his conviction followed tho
aeeead presentation of the evidence.
KILLED IN RIOT.
Ctash of Church and State Authori
ties in Mexico Serious.
City of Mexico, April 15. The riot
ing at Velardeha, the big coal mining
camp in the state of Coahuila, last
Saturday, according to a dispatch re
ceived tonight, was moro serious than
at first reported, 30 men being killed
and many injured.
The trouble was instigated by Father
Ramon Velenzuels, the parish priest,
it is asserted, who lies near death in a
hospital.
Many Americans reside in Velardena,
the camp being controlled by American
capital. The leaders of the mob, which
was well organized, avoided attacking
Americana or destroying American
property.
The fighting occurred when the jefe
politico of tho town, an officer corre
sponding to a mayor, attempted to stop
a religious procession beaded by the
villsge priest, Mexican laws forbidding
such parades. A thousand parishioners
followed the priest, wishing to witness
the annual burning of Judas, and the
mob, becoming enraged, stoned and
later burned the bouse of the jefe.
That ofllcisl and his wife escaped by
climbing a rear wall and seeking pro
tectlon in the American colony. The
rioters then stormed a Chinese hotel,
looting it of all liquors and foods and
terrorizing the neighborhood by the
night orgy.
The police force fired In their en
deavors to restore order. The officers
were forced to retreat, leaving six of
their number dead in the street. Later
troops, which had been telegraphed
for, arrived on a special train, and a
fierce fight with the rioters entued.
Father Valenzuela was arrested.
One of his followers succeeded in
smuggling in a knife to his cell and
the priest stabbed himself six times in
a vain attempt to commit suicide. He
was discovered by the guards just in
time to save his life.

MENACED WITH WAR.
Serious Revolutionary Movement
In
Turkey la Feared.
Constantinople, April 16. The third
day of the revolutionary movement In
the capital was marked by mora dis
orders, the most serious of which was
a lynching during a demonstration by
marines, who objected to the new min
ister of marine, kVice Admiral Adjlo-
rain 1'asha.
The marines gathered in force and
seized and conveyed to the palace Arif
Bey, commander of the battleship

mittee of Union and Progress, who or
dered the guns of his ship trained on

efforts of the palace guard to save him.

Sultan Again Holds Helm,
London, April 10. Tho news from

Reform party and the partial triumph
oi me reaction spirit, The sultan vir
tually has gained control of the helm

for tho noxt move. The situation
closely resembled that of 1877, when

tlvo Sons of Oregon, of Buttevllle, haa
issued tho program and Invitations for
tho annual celebration at Champoeg,
for Saturday, May 1, In commemora
tion of tho first provisional government
meeting, held at Champoeg, May 2,
1843. This will be tho CCth annivers
ary of that event, and tho ninth anni
versary of tho dedication of tho monu
ment erected to its memory. Joseph

future colobrations, as tho expense Is
burdensomo on Matthlcu cabin. Ha

program at the celebration that a so
ciety be formed, with a president and
secretary and executive committee.
An effort will be mado to chango tho
place for holding future celebrations
from Champoeg to Wllsonville, be
cause of the greater conveniences at

NO NEED TO COMPROMISE.
Oregon Already Owns Sand Island,
Says Governor Benson.
Salem Governor M. E. Hay, of
Washington, has written Governor Ben
son, of this state, in regard to the
boundary question long pending be
tween tho two states. It Is understood
the Washington authorities favor an
arbitration commission to consider the
entire question.
Governor Benson has acknowledged
the receipt of the communication from
the governor of Washington and bos
taken the matter under advisement.
While ho will say nothing as to the
merits of the matter, it Is gathered
from other sources that the Oregon au
thorities may not bo anxious to hand
the matter over to a commission, since
the Supreme court of the United States
baa already rendered a decision in favor
of Oregon's contention in tho matter.
The principal! ground for litigation
is Sand Island at the mouth of tho Co
lumbia. Tho Washington people are
now making on effort to have the caso
reopened by the United States Supreme
court.

fore. Besides an excellent literary and

mado to mako it much better than on
last season, horses boing entered from
all tho towns in Umatilla county and
many across the Una in Washington.

bility of thero being a homo market

tho contemplated mohair mills in a
suburb of Portland, there is an awak
ened interest in tho angora goat busi
ness In this county. E. S. Talbott,
who has raised stock and bought stock
hero for a number of years, makes an
estimate of the number of goats al
ready owned in tho county, and places
them at about 18,000, or more than
one-seventh of tho entire number in
Oregon. Mr. Talbott reports tho flecco
very fine this year, and the outlook
quite promising for tho men engaged
in tho goat business.
