Stokes, the mil lionaire hotel man, were acquitted by the Jury this afternoon after fifty-eight min utes' deliberation. . Mokes ot Critically H'. Yesterday's reports, It la now learned, rather exaggerated the gravity of Mr. Ktokea' condition. While his recovery Is slow, It was said today that he was In no Immediate danger. Before the prosecution began Its sum ming up today, Attorney Moore for the defense was permitted to aupplement his argument of'yesterday by briefly calling the Jury's attention to the fact that lf the holes In Stoke's coat and hat were, really bullet holes, more shots must have been fired than tho six accounted for. rive of these bullets lodged in the wall and one In Stoke'B leg- Where he asked, were the rest? Prosecutor la Caustic. When Assistant District Attorney Buck jier began hl speech to the Jury Mrf Stoke's pretty young wife sat near the Judge's desk and Miss Graham and Miss Conrad at their attorney's table. The prosecutor urged the Jurors not to consider Stokes' character. He pleaded vlth them to forget sympathy and con aider only the argument of self-defense. Speaking of the relations between Stokes and Miss Graham, he said scornfully: "And they have the hardihood to call that love. It's not love. It's lust on the part of Stokes and lucre on the part of Lillian Graham." Mr. Bruckner did not spare Stokes. . He referred to the sick millionaire as a "cool, calculating rogue who -always hud been strong and was cautons." Miss Graham covered her face with her hands and the tears tickled betweent her loved fingers. . Money tbe Motive. "The principal motive of the final act," continued Mr. Buekner, "Is money- money money." When Miss Conrad came on the scene, lie said, there wasn't to bo any more "namby-pamby . business."-. The most extraordinary woman I ever met." he said of the younger defendant. "What a combination of kitten and wild' cat! 19 and as hard as nails! There was no more cambric tea business after, she entered." MIhb Conrad glared at him as he spoke, The prosecute asserted that Miss Con y-ad concocted the whole scheme to get money out of Stokes and that she wrote (he letters Miss Graham left when she made what he said was a fake attempt felt suicide, and bad the older, but weaker and less Intelligent, woman copy it. He accused Miss Conrad of brushing some cf the writing with water to .Imitate tear drops. "They never expected to shoot Btokes when they bought those guns," he went on. "There's no use shooting up a man when you expect to get a signed state piient but of him that you can turn into money." YANKTON MAN KILLS SELF BECAUSE OF ILL-HEALTH YANKTON, a D., Dec. 15.

IS.-That gov ernment employes should receive ade quate compensation so as to enable them to contribute t an old age retirement fund was the principal suggestion In the report of the special eommlttee on super annuation made today to the annual meeting of the National Civil Service Re form league In session here. The com mittee reported that "if the salaries of the government's civil employes are ade quate as compared with salaries for sim ilar employment outside the public serv ice, so that the employes can properly be expected, as ordinarily prudent men, to lay by a sufficient amount year by year to provide for their own old age, it is no hardship that the government should compel them to make such pro vision, and K is neither reasonable nor does it tend toward personal thrift and economy for the government to add to such salary a pension for life at great expense to the taxpayers." Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, was re-elected presi dent ot the league. All the other offi cers were also elected. Henry A. Rich mond of Buffalo, N.

Those men took an oath to decide tlft. case as they believe right. They all have brains. They know what is right and they want to do It.

"The plaintiffs failed to substantiate the claims they made in their petition It was my duty to Instruct the Jury to find a verdict for the defendant. "I have been in office more than twenty years.

MUST PROTECHHE MARKET Member of Tariff Commission Talks to the Wool Growers. BANQUET AT COMMERCIAL CLUB i lix. Governor Kooning of Idlta Walters Are Tipped Mora for nMrnl Than the Prodacer Receive for It. James IV Wing of Ohio, hiemOer of the tariff commission, declared to JW) wool growers at luncheon at the Commercial club at noon, that much of the high cost of living was due to the fact that Ameri cans refused to wtar last year's cluthos this year. He further insisted that the profits of the farmers were "mighty small and due chiefly lo the Increased valuation of the land and not to the price obtained for their products." The tariff commission, said Mr. Wing, was not influenced by nny other desire than to arrive at the truth. They have received no Instructions to pursue any other than a Just course. Concluding tils address he praised President Taft, saying tbat "he will some duy be declared by the American people tho generous, blg hralned, far-sighted soul that he Is." President Taft, lie said, Is Inspired by no other mottlve than to be of service to his countrymen. Referring to the mission of the tariff board Mr. Wing pointed out tha difficul ties In securing the truth, although he had found very few who wilfully deceived them during their inquiries. Members of the board have been making Investiga tions In several foreign countries and In neighboring American states and have se cured a vast amount qf data. This, he contended, would be used with no view lo political effect, but simply to sc-curo tariff revisions which should benofit tha entire country. Good In Tells of Idaho. Kx-Governor Gooding of Idaho pointed out that millions of dollars were being spent in. his state each year for Improve ments and that some of the most gigantic undertaking of modern times were planned and even now were being executed. Continuing the discussion of the high cost of living, ex-Governor Gooding said the desertion of 28,400 farms In the east within the lust ten years could have been prevented If the live stock Industry had not languished. Prof. Hmlth, of the uni versity state farm, was praised for the work he was doing, as were all the men engaged In advancing the stock raising Industry. "And congress," he continued, "came within one vole of destroying the life of the stock-raising Industry In this country when tho provision In the farm ers' free ll.it bill was struck out." Most Protect Markets. "Our markets," continued the ex-governor, "must be protected. They are the best markets in the world and that Is why there Is such an effort to open them to foreign trade. The cost of production here is greater than In any other nation on earth and e ought to ba proud ot It We must keep our markets protected and our people employed, for when they are not employed one of the most dangerous conditions will confront us." The work of tho tariff commission was endorsed as absolutely right." "Kthcdule K is not right," said ex-Gov ernor Good Ing. "It isn't fair, it isn't honest and it ought to be revised." Wu cannot compete with foreign markets, because labor is so much cheaper. He maintained that Mr. Wing was right In his assertion that the pioducers were re ceiving none too high a price for their products. "You can't go into a hotel but what you will tip the waiter more for your meal than the farmer received for the things you eat." senator Borah of Idaho wired his re grets at being uuablo to attend the luncheon. Governor AldrUli was present and endorsed the opinions of ex-Uoverr,or Good lng, GROWERS WOULD REDUCEI'ROFITS Wool Experts in Convention Declare Middleman is Responsible for High Prices.

In an ad dress before the national association yes terday morning. "Designing people have long cultivated the Idea that the tariff Is responsible for the high cost of clothing and It haa come to a point where we must show consum ers that It Is not," said Mr. Brown. "Let us manufacture goods, giving the grower and the faotory a fair profit and sell the finished article at a price which will show consumers what the middlemen are now making on cloth and clothmg. Let us give them all wool goods. They are sick and tired of the stuff they have been getting under the name of wool. "Wool la the only agricultural product not Increasing In prlt. While our Indus try languished, the steel, oil, lumber and mining Industries prosper. While we are In fear of bankruptcy, the greatest con sumers ot our product are continuing to pay their regular dividends." A. F, Potter of Washington, O. C, as sociate forester of the L'nltod Stales, as sured the sheepmen that the forestry bureau seeks to regulate and not pro-' hlblt the grating of sheep In. national forests; that where It Is compelled to cut down the number of sheep In one forest, It increases the number in another which haa more feed; that the aggregate grat ing rapacity of the forests Is being In creased, rather than diminished. Grailng by sheep Is a protection for standing timber against, fire, he said, and ' the bureau Is now trying to induce flockmae ters t6' stock tha forests ot northern Idshe- But when tha timber has been' cut the sheep must be kept eft until tha young trees get a good start. The problem to be solved by tha bureau, ha said, presents three phases; First, die restoration ot depleted ranges to tnelr normal productivity; second, tha develop ment of unused ranges, and third, the gradual Increase ot the carrying powJt of tha ranges through the discovery of Improved methods of handling stock and growing the forage crop. F. J. Hagenbarth of Spencer, Idaho, told Mr. Potter that the sheepmen didn't want to be allowed in the forest on suf franca at the whims of the present suc cessors of the bureau officials; they wanted their rights to be written Into the forestry laws. Mr. Potter replied that he was In hearty accord with the Idea, but It was up to the sheepmen to decide whether the time was opportune for a change in the laws. Governor C. II.
