TRIAL SOON OVER
DIETRICH AND FISHER FOUND
NOT GUILTY.
THE INDICTMENTS ARE QUASHED
Court Decides That the Senator Was
Not a Member of Congress When
Contracts Were Made He Is There
fore Not Guilty as Charged.
OMAHA. Tho Dietrich trial In the
federal circuit court Is n thing of tho
past. Tho senntor has been found not
guilty of ncccptlug n bribe, had tho
Indictments of conspiracy ngilust him
quashed becauso tho court hold he
could not bo charged-twice with the
name offense and was relieved from
defending himself In tho charge of en
Joying a lense with tho government
upon the motion of the district attor
ney. Summers refused to make any state
ment after the trlnl was over. Ho
said: "I have no further statement
to make nothing moro to say, I
think."
"I have nothing to say," Bald Sen
ator Dietrich, "beyond the fact that
I was willing to wnlve any technical
ity In order to secure a full trial. My
attorneys ndvlBed me, and, I believe,
correctly, thnt the court would not al
low tho case to go to tho Jury, for
tho reason that Summers would not
and could not prove that 1 was n sen
ator when tho leaso was mnde. Tho
lease was mnde before 1 was oven
elected senator and while I was still
governor. Summers knew this and
know that his case would not. be al
lowed to go to the Jury, but ho per
sisted In his effort solely to besmirch
my 118100."
At tho same time in tho court room
Senator Dietrich was surrounded by n
group of friends anxious to shake hla
hand and to say that even though tho
prosecution lost out bocauso It had
not been shaped In conformity to law,
they wero satisfied that tho senator
was guiltless literally as well as tech
nically. His daughter, Miss Gertrude
Dietrich, was the center of n throng
of women, smiling nnd talking freely
for tho first time since tho trial be
gan. Postmaster Jacob Fisher of
Hastings, who nlso was freed of the
charges pending agalnBt him, wns ex
pressing his satisfaction and saying
thnt ho did not care so much about
the Indictment, but thnt It was "his
girls' that were tho moBt concerned
over tho matter.
A most notable assemblage of law
yers heard tho delivering of Judge
Van Devnnter of tho two decisions,
both of which settled points novcr be
fore raised In American Jurisprudence,
tho first as to whether n senator is n
member of congress when nnd after
ho Is elected or upon tnking tho oath
of office, and tho second being on tho
contention that n lease with the gov
ernment made by a member of con
gress before ho becomes such an offi
cer tlou.s not operate to eaunts him to
fracture tho law becauso Its provis
ions are udhercd to after tho leasor
becomes a public officer,
Tho point as to tho exact time n
person becomes n member of congress
was raised by General Cowln and
nrgued by both sides. It had been
anticipated as a vital feature of the
bribery caso nnd tho Judges had pre
pared for it. They wero ready, there
fore, with tho decision, although, as
Judge Devantcr said, the reasoning
had not been reduced to tho form in
which it will stand upon tho court rec
ords. "From tho conclusions." ho said nt
tho end, "we must instruct tho Jury
to find this defendant not guilty.
"Gentlemen of the jury, it results
from that which has been Just said
in your presence that, If nil the evi
dence which the prosecution has In
hnnd and which was described wero
now introduced nnd beforo you, it
would appear that tho defendant had
hot nttalned that official relation with
the United Stntes which was neces
sary ho should have attained in order
to come within tho Inhibition of this
statute, and hence wo must instruct
you to find tho defendant not guilty.
The evidence has been rendered nec
essary and it Is your duty to find tho
defendant not guilty."

FRANCE IS NOW DIPPING IN.
Would Prevent the Transfer of the

received from Paris, said that a
French tribunal had been appealed to
oy nn agent or Colombia with n view
to preventing tho transfer of the Pan
ama Canal company's rights on the

without the consent of Colombia.
Counsel for tho Colombian govern
ment, nccordlng to tho dispatch, as

under wny, tho amount to be paid by
this government being $40,000,000.

Impossible for Japan to entertain and
I practically removes all hopes of pa-

says that all tho powers aro landing

Constant telegrams are passing be

exieff. PEKIN. General Yaun Shal Kal,
commander-in-chief of tho Chinese

Investigate the report ns to tho proba

that according to tho best opinions ob
tainable, based on diplomatic lnforma
Hon, war cannot be averted.
PARIS. Official and diplomatic re
presentatives here claim to bo with
out Information .regarding tho contents
of the Russian reply to Jnpan, but the
tone is distinctly pessimistic nnd there
aro but slight hopes of a peaceful exit
from tho position In which Russia and
Japan find themselves. The diplomats
are making Inquiries as to tho attitude
of tho powers in caso of war, that to
bo adopted by the United States being
regarded as particularly important. To
the Associated Press tho Jn,iancso
minister snld:
"Tho attltudo of tho United States
will mean much. It has negotiated a
treaty with China for tho opening of
three ports in Manchuria to the com
merce of the world. These ports have
been occupied by Russia and thus tho
treaty rights have been violated.
Japan Is not guided by selfish mo
tives, but is acting. In tho Interest of
all nations. I hope tho United States
will clearly understand our petition
and will favor uo with their support."
The correspondent asked tho minis
ter if ho had lost all hope of peace.
"I never lose that hope," he replied.
The Chinese legation claims to be
without information in regard to tho
attitude of China in the event of war.
It wn3 said that at the outset it was
certain that neutrality would be pro
claimed, but in case of Jnpanese vic
tories it would not surprlso tho lega
tion if tho Chinoso should cast their
lot with Japan. This would seriously
embarrass Russia, not becauso of tho
Importance or the Chinese ns a fight
ing force, but because of the danger of
tho Interruption of tho Russian com
munications. Tho action of tho United States In
sending marines to Seoul, Corcn, is re
garded here as being n "significant in
dication of tho trend of its sympathy,"
and it is known to be gratifying to
Jnpn, becauso it establishes n prece
dent which the Japanese can follow it
necessary in debarking a strong forco

NO SAFETY DEVICES.
Managers of the Iroquois Theater Ars
Examined.
CHICAGO By their own evidence
given before Monroe Fulkerson, who
is conducting the fire department In
vestigation Into the Iroquois theater
horror, the proprietors of the theater
showed that a worse condition of af
fairs existed than had heretofore been
thought possible.
Will J. Davis, Harry Powers and
Thomas J. Noonan, active manager.!
of the Iroquois theater, were examin
ed by Mr. Fulkerson Wednesday, .til
of them pleaded Ignorance of any pre
cautions taken to prevent loss of Ufa
by fire at their theater. They admit
ted failure to instruct employes In
fighting tiro and failure even to pro
vide suitnble appliances for use
against flames. Their statements
wero corroborated by the testimony
of twenty employes of the theater,
none of whom had ever been told hi 3
duty In case of fire.
Noonan. who Is working manager
of the theater, under direction of Da
vis nnd Powers, admitted that eleven
of tho theater exits were locked and
bolted. Two o these exits leading
to the front or the theater on tho
ground floor wero locked, three addi
tional exits on the north side wero
bolted, three exits on the north side
of the theater in the first balcony
wero bolted and three exits on tho
north sldo of the second balcony wero
bolted.
The greatest loss of life in tho firo
was in tho first and second balconies,
whore hundreds of people were suf
focated tjiro-ugh their inability to get
out, or wero trampled to death whilo
trying to do so. Had these three exits
m each balcony been nvailable, ac
cording to Mr. Fulkerson, tho loss of
life must have been greatly dimin
ished. Noonan declared that no person had
been named by the theater manage
inent to superintend tho operation of
ventilators of the theater in eases
of fire, and that, in consequence, tho
flames had been permitted to sweep
the place, instead of seeking a natu
ral outlet through the singe roor. It
was said by Noonan that George M.
Dusenberry. the head usher; Archi
bald Bernard, chief electriciau. and
the theater engineer knew how to op
erate the ventilators, it was proven
oy tho evidence of these men, how
ever, that two of them never went
upon tho stage and that the other
had never been told to assume chargo
of the ventilators in case of fire.
Dusenberry declared that his duty
as usher kept him In tho Tront or the
house. The engineer was nlways be
low tho stage attending to his engine,
and Bernard, the only one of the three
knowing how to operate tho ventil
ators who was upon the stage during
the performance, testified thnt he had
never been told to assume charge of
them.
Mr. Noonan declared that the two
balconies, including seats and people
standing, held 889 people. Tho total
number of fatalities in the firo is to
date 591, of whom three woro killed
on tho first floor. Tnis would make,
according to Manager Noonan's state
ment, C8S doaths out of 889 people in
tlie two balconies.
Will J. Davis testified that he had
given no orders to place a flro alarm
box In the theater; that he had given
no direction to placo a nnmn nn 'Im
stage beyond tho fact that any appar-
atus the firemen wanted should ba
provided as soon as possible. He de
clared he could not say m to whether
the building had been finally accept
ed from tho Fuller company or not.

nish a drug store, but in later and
wiser years I have taken none but
have depended, for the health I now
enjoy, on suitable and sustaining
food of which I keep on hand a tested
variety, plain but nourishing.
"Of these my main dependence is
Grape-Nuts, especially if I have be
fore me a day of unusual effort eith
er mental or physical. In this caso
I fortify myself tho first thing in the
morning with about 4 teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts moistened with cream
nnd not much else for breakfast and
the amount of work 1 can then carry
through successfully without fatigue
or exhaustion is a wonder to tho&e
about me and even to myself.
"Grape-Nuts food is certainly a
wonderful strongthener and 13 not a
stimulant, for there is no reaction aft
erwards, but It is sustaining and
strengthening, as I have proved by
loug experience." Name given by
Postum Co., Battlo Creek, Mich.
There's a reason four teaspoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream will add
more strength and carry one further
than a plateful of coarse heavy food
that is nearly all waste. Grape-Nuts
food is condensed, pre-dlgested and
delicious. It contains the parts of
the Wheat and Barley grains that
supply tho rebuilding' parts for Brain
and Nerve Centers.
Ixo', in each package for a copy
of the famous little book, "The Road
to Wellvllle."
