Hoar mado a vigorous protest against
tho practice of appointing sooators
on such a commission. He said
senators so appointed became the
authorized agents of tho president, to
carry out his Ideas and wishes and
claimed heat this was not compatible
with the functions of a senator, Tho
method of appointing senators on tho
commission defended by Morgdn and
Piatt, of Connecticut.
Other speakers In in controversy

tion to tho freo exorcise by tho presi
dent of tho power of appointing sena

o'clock When tho case of Lemuel
White, accused of Illegal voting was
called bjltho court.
A grcu't deal of Interest bus been
aroused tin thesoenscs and their out
come was watched with interest.
White appeared In court without an
attorney.
A, YfJ Dennis, was called to the
stand, 'Ila wax not acquainted with
White, 'but saw him at nulls ut Wurd
2, on Mbnday botweon tho hours of
2 and fl o'clock In the afternoon,
White came to tho polls with an es
cort and offered to vote. Ills voto

Whito parleyed somo und then sworn

Mrs. Susan Burkholder the l.uia-
lauy of itho Sulcm Lodging house

had u room at her house but not tor
ten days or so, and then hud kept It
only four or Uve nights. lie had no
pcrmtiucut room, rented It by the
night only nnd wus simply u transient
lodger.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Burk
holders' testimony Whlto roused him
self from tho tlcopy appearunco that
hud characterized him so fur und
lukcd, "Did you say I runtoj tho
room by the night?" an alTerumtlvc
answer wus glyen and turning
squaro around toward tho witness
he said, ''Huvc'nt I always paid you
by the week for my room?" Tho ans
wer was negative after 11 puuso ho
asked "wasn't 1 thoro for six wcoks
straight before tho fair? Then Mrs.
Burkholder remembered that ho had
been there at that time, but not since
then to stay any length of time,
The other witnesses sworn ull cor
robborutcd the testimony of Duvls us
to thu challenging of White and his
voting.
White at last was uskid If ho had
unythlng to say and was sworn. Ho
stated that he cumo to Salem In Juno.
'Ho went to yote on Monday una asked
Inw long ho had to live In (he city
boforo ho could vote, Tho Judgo told

und wus fworn und voted. Hud lived
at tlioSaluin Lodging houao for u
whllo, about six weeks, went from
there to tho hospital. Ho had been
sick most or tho time, and after
his recovery had gono tn tho Opera

persons what ward ho was In, but
didn't know any names, as ho wan not
'acquainted. Ho didn't know who

ono was a lady. Didn't know whut
what tho doctor's name was who
treated htm at the hospital
Vhlto wns quito clover In switching
from tho Salem lodging house theory
to the ono of tho opera house, but was
a good deal puzzled by the questions
nsk by Attorney J. II. McNary.
At tho conclusion of his testimony

grand Jury In $200 bonds. Not being
uble to furnish these ho wus escorted
to the county Jul'. While Is an ex

After nn Intermission of 25 minutes
the court was again called to hear tho
case of the State of Oregon vs. Wll
Ham Buttcrbly, accused of tho crlmo
of brlbtnga voter, ouo Win. M. Cooper,
by offering him lcgul money of the
United States.
Charlie Johnson, the policemen,
tuld how Cooper and Dattcrsby went
to the polls togothcr, Coopor voted
and Battersby weat out nlono, re
marking to Johnson as ho passed
"There Is an Edcs and Hutton voto.'t
He didn't know Cooper,
Charlie Boothby was called. He
had seen Cooper at the polls but didn't
seo him vote. Johnson came In und
told ltlm he hud a warrant for
Dattcrsby nnd ho called Coopor to
him und nsked If Battorsby hud paid
him anything for his vote. Coopor
.said ho did not but had promised him
something. At llrsl. ho said, ''Thoy
promised mo money but didn't pay
mo anything." Got Doc, Gibson and
nsked Co" per again. Ho denied thu
money payment but said Battorsby
had offered him 11 plnco on tho tire
department If ho would help tho
tlckot.
Cooper wns culled unci testified.
He wus stundlng tn front of Hill
nnd Ponton's cigar store Monday,
when Battorsby camo along and usked
him to go down and voto. Hattorsby
said" You want to put lu u good vote,"
und ho replied, "ull right I will put
In a straight voto." He hadn't beon
waiting for anyone, but Uuttcrsby
Just hnpponcd along. At tho polls
Uuttcrsby spoko to Mlnto und ho
haticd him (Coopor) a tlckot which
ho voted. Didn't seo Battcrnby ngnln
until ho camo to tho river bank whore
ho (Cooper) vun walking and Bat
torsby nsked If ho had cvor offered
him a position. Ho suld ho would
swear tho truth. Battorsby asked If
ho was going to swear that ho bougut
Cooper's voto for $1.50.-IIo replied
that ho hud not told anyono ho had
sold his voto for Hl.no Buttersby then
went away saying that It was nil
right If no job was put up on him.
Cooper said ho wus going to scratch
Edct but Battorsby persuaded him
not to do it, so ho changed his mind
nnd voted straight. Louis Folsum wns
called and told of seeing Coopor ut the
polls und Joking him. Didn't dial
lengo his votu becauso ho know Coopor
wus u resident of tho wurd. Hero tho
defence moved todiimlss on tho
grounds of lack of convicting ovldonco
but tho motion wns overruled nnd
Battorsby wus called.
Ho told n very straight storv, saying
that ho wns a dabbler In politics and
u friend of Coopers. Ho wns engaged
Monday in tho polltlcul duty of In-
lluonclng his friends to uphold tho
party. Ho told Cooper thut he would
try und get him n position on tho II ro
department, If ho would help the
tloket and It was successful. Cooper
said he didn't wunt the position, us It
would Intorfcr with his buslnobs nnd
tho pav wus too small. So he Just In-
lluonced him In u friendly way, nnd
hud never ottered him money. Ho
went to tho polls with him to seo thut
no ono else, on tho other side, Influ
enced him to yoto for the cltlzons'
ticket. Ho taw Coopor on tho river
bank Tucsduy und ha said if he
(Cooper) would swour ho got $1.60 for
his voto they would nco Hut ho got
out free,
Cooper was recalled nnd stated
thut it was Charley Boothby who had
spoken about tho 81. CO voto, and,
had said If ho mado tho offer to you,
come out and tell nil about It, Ho
never spoke to Duo Gibson and didn't
kcow whether it was Gibson or somo
ono clue who was with Boothby.
Boothby recalled. Hud xpoken to
Cooper'H brother about telling the
truth. Gibson wus not thoro when ho
talked.
The prosecution submitted tho cuso
without urgument. McCourt und
Buwermun mudo u plea for their
allent ur.d prosecutor J. H. McNury
closed the case In un uble argument.
The court took the cao under nd
vUcmont till 10 u. m , today. (Wed
nesday) when he dismissed tho cmse
owing to lack of conylutlng evidence
against thedofendant.
