Others chal lenged were William J. Merrill. Saco: farmer, challenged by respondents; E. Everett Files, Gorham, challenged by respondents; Thomas D. Sale, a pub lisher. Portland, challenged by re spondents. These challenges exhausted the panel y anil a deputy was sent out to bring in bystanders. The first man brought in by him was Charles P.

Munro. Portland, bookkeeper. Railway News Co. Following the selection of the jury. Clerk Hewev read the long indictment, at the conclusion of which District At torney Whitehouse opened the case for the government. Mr. Whitehouse began by defining con spiracy as a combination of two or more persons to do an unlawful act or to do a lawful act by unlawful means. He continued by painting the picture usually called up V>v the word conspiracy, a meet ing together of desperate characters, in a dark cellar or some out of the way. lonesome place to do some unlawful or hideous act. Legal conspiracy is not that. It is an agreement, not necessarily in expressed words, to do an unlawful act. One per son mav perform one part of the unlaw ful act and the other or others the. other parts. But it is concerted action which is rarely favorable by direct evidence. The jury is justified in concluding that there has been a conspiracy if the evi dence indicates a combination of acts to show that two or more persons were working together to perform an unlawful act. Speaking of the element of defrauding, he said it was commonly understood to bo the cheating of a person or persons of something of intiinsic value, as mon ey nr goods; but the statute is more com prehensive. The government may he de frauded of a knowledge of the true amount of mail carried by it; it may be defrauded of its ability to earn.- out any of its regulations or it may be deprived 'of any of its lights. The terms defrauding and deceiving are held to be synonymous in a decision on a case growing out of a violation of this art. Anything done to deceive the government or its agents in regard to any regulations has been held to be defraud ing the government. There is a third element in this case and that is an act done to effect the object of the conspiracy. The gist of tlie offense is the conspiracy, the agree ment to do the unlawful act. This is a crime even if the intention is not car ried out but the government would show that purposes of the conspiracy had been caried out. Any act in the furtherance of the purpose of the con spiracy is called an overt act and wo will show that such an act was carried out. If one of the parties alone does this act, all the others arc held by it. We shall prove certain acts showing that the parties had passed lieyond the pre liminary stages of the conspiracy. Discussing the indictment the district attorney read the statute describing second class mail matter. The statute provides that second class mail is reg ular publications containing informa tion, which have a legitimate circula tion. No publication designed primari ly for advertising purposes or for free circulation or for sale at a nominal subscription prices Is included in the (Continued on Page Four.)

Expense Attached to Court May Half Bring Decided Change. Lisbon. Feb. 23.—Whether or not a re public is to supplant the monarchy In Portugal, it is practically the unanimous opinion heit? that the near future will witness a violent political struggle in which the life of the monarchy may bo at stake. The comparative tranquility since the assassinations is simply a breathing spell in which the forces of the monarchy on the one hand and pop ular government on the other are being marshalled for the coming conflict. The masses of the people in the country are ignorant and have hitherto been entirely indifferent to the political battles which have convulsed the capital. Lisbon for political purposes is Portugal and the Republicans are confident that the influ ence of the capital, which they assert is almost unanimously Republican, will sound tlie knell of the /monarchy’. Since tlie assassinations of King Carlos and Crown Prince Luis, tlie Republicans have been joined by the Dissident Pro gresses and they intend to mane their camraign for a change of regime openly in tlie coming electoral contest. Ex-Dep uty Almeida, who is at the head of tho Republican organization, declares that their campaign has virtually been made for them by the revelation of the abuses of tlie old parties. The exposure, of the political corruption, the manner in which an army of clients was maintained at the expense of the public treasury and. above all, tlie secret advances made to the roy al family, he claims, shocked the people from one end of the country’ to tho other and destroyed forever the prestige of the monarchy They anticipate an e3sy and complete victory. Disinterested opinion, however, does not consider Portugal ripe for a republic. It believes, in fact, that the country under a popuar regime in the present backward state of the masses would become a prey of the ambitions of politicians and. lika tho Central American republics, would ba without stability and probably witness a series of popular upheavals and dictator ships. Nevertheless the fear exists in these quarters that the monarchy is doomed. The young King Manuel, undoubtedly with the best of intentions, has yielded to the enemies of his father and Franco. They have persuaded him to sponge out the dictatorship and to begin as a strictly constitutional sovereign, but above all to place himself In their hands. They want him to enact the role of Pom Luis, the father of Carlos, who for 29 years ruled Portugal but did not govern. Under the present circumstances the course of the King is most dangerous insomuch as he. has placed the destinies of the throne in the hands of leaders of the two discredited old parties, men whose past prevents them from meeting their adversaries in the open Held of po litical discussion and who the people will insist must be disciplined. The real weakness of the monarchy in Portugal seems to bo that it is top heavy- With its territory shrunken. Its wealth withered, the people crushed down by taxes, the national credit bank rupt 13 years ago. the bureaucracy and the court are maintained on a scale al most as extensive as in'the days of Port uguese world dominion. Seven magnifi cent royal palaces, the Necessldadcs, the royal city residence; Ajuda. the palace of the dowager Queen; Betem. Quede:: and Cascaes on the seashore and the marvelous palaces of Clntra and Pena, in addition to the shooting palaces of VII lavlcosa and elsewhere, are kept up with all the expense Involved In the constant transfer of the large eoui-t from one place to another. The court Itself has a hierarchy and a ceremonial etiquette sec ord only to that of Russia and Austria j and the personnel Is considerably larger I than that of Germany. Titles, ranks and I decorations abound and are sought with passionate rivalry and the number of of tlclals attached to and supported by the court is countless. It is here that the pruning hook must lie applied In the reorganisation of a country where half the taxes collected go to pay the Interest on state debt. The students at the universities, as In Russia and other countries where revo lution Is being agitated, are playing a considerable role in Portugal and another factor in the situation, the church, may become prominent. Roman Catholicism is the state religion and the people are Catholic, but not clerical. No matter what happens In Portugal, foreign, direct (Continued on Pace Two.)

The specimen ballots, which were post ed yesterday, contain three tickets. The tirst. under the designation Republican, contains the names of the candidates for mayor, city marshal and the various ward officers. Tills ticket contains no name for street commissioner, as no can didate was nominated at the city caucus and will not bo voted except by those who do not wisli to express their choice for street commissioner. The other two tick ets each have the same designation. In dependent Republican, the only differenco being that op.o has the name of Charles K. Pickering and tho other the name of Albert K. Clary as a candidate for street commissioner. It is with these two tisk ets that the battle of the liallots will be waged next Monday. There are also two propositions to be voted upon at the city election, which it is hoped will not be lost sight of on account of the contest for street commis sioner. These two articles are based upon a law passed by tho last Maine Legis lature to provide for State aid and for the expenditure of other public moneys on tho permanent Improvement of Maine highways or State roads. They are as follows: Art. 1. To see if the town will vote yes or no upon the adoption of the provisions of Chapter 112 of the Public Laws of Maine for the year 1907, relating to the appropriation of money necessary to en title the town to State aid for highways lor the year 1909. Art. 2. To see if the town will raise, appropriate and set apart for the perma nent improvement of the Maine highways within tho town such sum of money as is contemplated and directed by Section 5 of Chapter 112 of the Public Laws of Maine for the year 1907. bring the sum! ..f t»r». Space is provided upon the ballot for the voting of “yes" or “no" to both of these questions. The two sections of Chnpter 112 of the Laws of 1907 referred to read as follows: Section 4. “Each town shall, of tho amount of money annually raised and appropriated for the repair of the high ways. set apart the following amounts to use for permanent improvement of its main highways." The part which relates especially to Gardiner, estimated on its valuation, says “towns of Jo.lXVi.OOO and less than J.'i.tfOO.O'lO taxable valuation shall receive 1C 2-2 cents on each $1000 to be ex pended for permanent improvements of said highways.” Section 2. "If any city or town desires State aid as contemplated by tins act such city or town shall raise, appropriate and set apart an additional sum equal to o0 per cent, of the amount required to be set apart for permanent improvements under Section 4 of this act.” The voters are called upon to say whether or not such appropriation shall be made so that the city will gte the benefit of State aid in making perma nent improvements upon its highways.

It is seldom that anyone in their usual good health feels like taking a nap within less than four hours after arising in the morning, hut it is report ed that a young man on Water street embarked on one of these morning trips to the land of Xod a few days ago, which was hardly a success. He had a few minutes to spare, when things were not going very lively, and with his pipe and newspaper, sat down in a sunny window and proceeded to make himself comfortable. For a few moments he smoked and read, and then somehow the sun's warm rays exerted an influence which made him drowsy, and he began to nod. Then he lost himself and his pipe fell from his lips, it Is said, and landing in the midst of the paper, set it on fire, and the curling smoke soon awakened the young man to the realizing sense that he held in his hands some of the warmest literature that lie had ever perused.

(Continued from Page °ne;> preference, such as that proposed, would lie easier to raise money b> .he would be etsler to raise money by the sale of bonds, which the National banks would have use for. On«* day two or three weeks ago Sen ator LaFollette, rising from his lone corner of the Senate, pave notice of an amendment that only the bend of rail roads should be accepted when the; roads had been appraised to the satis- j faction of the Interstate Commerce j Commission. That was a step towards j the appraisement of railroads, which; Senator LaFollette was the first to advocate prominently. President Roos evelt only tolerates Senator LaFol lette. He didn’t like to see the Wis consin Senator comes “butting in” with any railroad thunder and at first he frowned upon the appraisal scheme. Then after hesitating several months, till the railroad rate bill had gone into effect, he embraced the idea. The railroad Presidents groaned when they heard what the President had done. They groaned some more when they saw Mr. LaFollette persis tently although quietly putting for ward that aniendmonf but they hoped for the best. They might have remarked: "Cheer up. the worst is yet to come." The Western Repub- I 1 leans who do not hesitate to advocate the guaranteeing of deposits in national banks by the government ar.d some other like provisions, even though they be somewhat Brynnesqu'. kept on grumbling about the bond provision. They grumbled in the Fenate and they grumbled in the; House and as Republican leaders of Congress and the President are anxious to get the Aldrich bill enacted into law they had to take notice. So all at i once, while the Aldrich bill debate was still dragging along in the Senate, it i was decided that something like the j LaFollette amendment, without using its language, must be adopted. Rough drafts of a provisio have been written out and in due season will be incor porated into the act as it is printed on tine, thick paper and sent over to the House of Representatives for con sideration. AH of which will add to the sorrows j of the railroads that are bonded be- j yond their real valuo. it might be i mentioned that the railroads out in Mr. LaFollette's state of Wisconsin may not be worrying much for they have already been appraised under state law and this may satisfy the Interstate Commerce Commission. The new provision, whatever it may be, will not mean that all railroads must be appraised, as was originally I proposed by Mr. LaFollette, so that there could be a substantial founda tion upon which to estimate what, freight and passenger charges should be, but it does mean that watered securities of railroads will have diffi culty in passing muster with Treasury officials as basis for emergency cur rency notes to be issued to National Banks. Incidentally the entire transaction demonstrates how Mr. LaFollette is becoming a power in the T'nited States Senate. He is a little man in statuie and. when the Senate virtually ostracized him for his independent views and his determination to ad- j vance them, he gritted his teeth and kept right on. But he insisted on put ting Senators on record and fought through the deadly roll calls. Some of the older Senators saw long ago that he must be reckoned with and certainly more will be heard of LaFollette. Among the Maine people who have been visiting in Washington the pad week were two well-known Kenne bec County men.*' One was President. W. F. Berry of the Kent's Hilt Semi nary, and the other was Judge John Gower of Winthrop. President Berry was enroutc for Maine after an ex tended trip in the West, where he has been traveling in the interest of the seminary, and while here called on a number of Maine people who were former students at the famous Maine school, among whom was Carter B. Keene, of the post office department who is a Waldo county boy who is “making good” in the government service. Judge Gower was en route for the South where he will make a combined business and pleasure trip. He was accompanied by Mrs. Gower and daughter, and while here called on a number of Maine people, including Congressman and Mrs. Burleigh. Mrs. J. Frank Pierce of Augusta has been here for tile past week visiting .Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Chase. Priest’s Murder Result of Plot. Denver. Coio., Feb. 25.—Most of the priets of the lioman Catholic churches in this city believe that Father Leo Heinriche, who was murdered by Giuseppe Alio, an Arnichist, while giv ing communion in St. Elizabeth’s church here on Sunday last, was a marked man from the time he arrived in town last August or even before. Tl'.e dead priest was stationed previ ously in Paterson, X. J., and it is be lieved he may have incurred the enmity of the Anarchists there and that a plot was laid to kill him, perhaps prior to his leaving Paterson, but that the machinery of the "Reds” failed to get into working order until A lie car ried out orders. AN ACT OF GOD.' Brooklyn Lawyer Shot Through Head By a Client. Xew York. Feb. 25.—Charles K. San ford of Smithtown. L.

Although Mrs. Bunt fired two shots only one took effect and this inflicted a scalf wound in the back of the head, from which Mr. Sanford is expected to re cover. Mrs. Bunt was waiting at Mr. San ford's office door and shot hint as nr approached. Occupants of the build ing heard the shots and pursued the woman as she fled from the building and turned over to a policeman, whom she was passing in the street. Mrs Bunt admitted that she did the shoot ing, declaring that it was justified bj Sanford’s treatment of her and was “an act of God." Sanford said Mrs. Bunt had employ ed him as counsel in an action against her husband. The injured man was removed to a hospital.
