called the quartette before him, told them
thst the charges against them had been
fllsmtased and asked them If they wanted
to go. The court added that they could
Stay !f they wanted to, however, and
listen to the balance of the proceed-
ing*. The four Chinese smiled ns one,
and In one voice thanked the court and
said that they believed they had had
enough of the trial during the four days
they were in custody.
LEFT THIRTEEN DEFENDANTS.
The dismissal of the four Chinaman
left thirteen for the Jury to consider,
only one of whom is a Chinaman, that
being Jim Lee of Galveston. The others
■were E. B. Holman of Galveston, Maurice
Green of Beaumont, Americans; Miss
Laura Livaudlas of New Orleans and
Dine Greeks and Auetrlans. In addi-
tion to the foregoing there was the de-
fendant. H. P. Smith, who pleaded guilty
st the beginning of the trial.
Upon disposal of this matter the argu-
ments of the attorneys were again taken
lip, Marsene Johnson closing for the de-
fendants. Judge McDonald then took up
the closing argument for the government
which lasted until 12:20 at which hour
the court adjourned for the noon hour.
The charge by the court waa aa fol-
lows:
THE C0UR"TS CHARGE.
Th« Indictment in thla case charges the
defendant with violations of sections 5440
of the revised statutes of the United
Btates in that they did unlawfully con-
spire, combine and agree together to In-
troduce and bring into the United States
(i on the republic of Mexico Chinese, or
persons of Chinese descent, not lawfully
entitled to be Introduced and brought into
the said United States and that for tho
purpose of accomplishing said unlawful
combination and agreement said defend-
ants hired, chartered or purchased in the
order named the schooner Edward Cor-
Cgaa, the lugger St. John and the sloop
ystery, and that said vessels were pro-
visioned, manned and equipped in order
to facilitate a.id further the object of the
alleged conspiracy.
The section of the revised statute under
■Which the indictment waa drawn pro-
vides:
"If two or more persons conspire either
to commit any- offense against the United
Btates or to defraud the United States In
any manner, or for any purpose and one
or more of any such parties do any act
to effect the object of the conspiracy,
each of the parties to such conspiracy
shall be fined not more than $10,000 or to
be Imprisoned not more tlian two years,
or both."
From this language of the statute Just
Quoted you will observe that It Is essen-
tial. 1. That the evidence should estab-
lish that two or more persona entered into
the conspiracy.
2. The conspiracy having been formed
that one or tnore of the parties should
Ho some act in effecting the object of the
conspiracy. This act is usually termed
the "overt act."
DEFINITION OK CONSPIRACY.
A conspiracy is an unlawful agreement
between two or more persons by concerted
action to accomplish a criminal or an un-
lawful purpose, or some purpose In Itself
not unlawful or criminal by criminal or
unlawful means. Where an unlawful end
Is sought to be accomplished, and two or
mofo persons actuated l?y the common
purpose of accomplishing that, and
working together in any way in further-
Slice of the unlawful scheme and every
one of said persons becomes a party to
the conspiracy, although tiie part he was
to take therein was a subordinate one,
or was to be executed at a remote dis-
tance for the other conspirators. A com-
bination formed by two or more persons
to effect an unlawful end la a conspiracy
In the event said persons combine for
the common purpose to accomplish the
end In visw. Any one who after a con-
spiracy is formed and knows of Its ex-
istence Joins therein, becomes as much a
party thereto from that time aa he had
Originally entered into the unlawful agree-
ment. where several persona are proved
to have combined together for the same
unlawful purpose any act done by one of
the pextles In pursuance of the original
>lan and with reference to the common
bjsct is In the contemplation of the law
act of the whole party, and therefore,
.ns proof of such act. if any. will be evl-
against any of the others engaged
the same conspiracy. Any declaration
Sence
In the __ ___
made by one of'the "parties during the
pendency of the illegal enterprise is not
onlv evidence against themselves, but Is
evidence against the other ssrty who,
when the combination is established, are
as much responsible for such declarations
and the acta to which they relate, aa If
and committed by themaeives.
THE DAUGHDRILL TESTIMONY.
The prosecution In this case relies large-
ty upon the testimony of the witness,
Clauds Daughdrlll. and it Is for rou to
determine from the evidence In the case
Whether or not said witness occupies the
attltuds of sn accomplice. If you be-
lieve fiom the evidence in the case that
•aid witness, by word, or act. aided,
abetted, encouraged and facilitated the
alleged conspiracy in the prosecution of
the unlawful combination and agreement,
then and in that event you will regard
his testimony as that of an accomplice,
notwithstanding you may believe he In-
" id to secure the arrest and prosecu-
of the defendants. One who per-
es and advises others to enter Into
* oonsplracy to commit a crime, without
Intending to be a participant, or with the
Intent to secure their arrest and punish-
ment and probable reward. Is guilty as
a principal. When a person does a pro-
hibited act with the Intent the law for-
bids, It will not avail him that he also
Intended ultimate good. In other words.
If by his acts and conduct the witness.
Claude Daughdrlll, encouraged, advised
or persuaded others to commit the of-
fense charged In the Indictment he would
himself be guilty, regardless of whether
be Intended to consummate the con-
spiracy or not. One who assists, com-
mands or encourages another to commit
an offense or who does an overt act for
the purpose of assisting his principal In
ths execution of the same. Is an accom-
plice, and where he becomes a witness
against his co-conspirators his testimony
inust be corroborated In order to warrant
conviction.
Should yf.. conclude from the evidence
"Ms cause that the witness. Claude
.ughdrill, did not assist or encourage
17 of the defendants named In the ln-
Ictment to enter into the alleged con-
spiracy, then he Is not to be deemed an
accomplice and you will treat his testi-
mony as that of a detective and give it
sueh wslght as you may deem proper.
In the event you should conclude that
said witness is an accomplice you will
not be Justified In disregarding his testi-
mony In ths event there Is other testl-

mony In the case tending to corroborate
the testimony of said witness upon any
material facts.
POSSIBLE GENERAL DISMISSAL.
Upon your retirement you will deter-
mine:
1. Whether or not the conspiracy was
entered Into by two or more of the de-
fendants, having for Its object the bring-
ing Into the United States Chinese from
the republic of Mexico.
If you are unable to say from the evi-
dence that this conspiracy having its ob-
ject in view was entered Into by two or
more of said defendants, then you need
Inquire no further, but you will return
a general verdict of not guilty as to all
defendants.
If you find that two or more of the
defendants were parties to the alleged
conspiracy, then you will determine
whether or not the overt act. was per-
petrated by one or more of the said de-
fendants.
An "overt act" means an act performed
by one or more of the alleged conspira-
tors having for Its object and reasonably
calculated to effect the common design
of the alleged conspirators.
The Indictment charges, among other
things, that an overt act was committed
by one or more of the defendants, in that
the schooner Edward Corrigan was char-
tered for the purpose of facilitating and
carrying Into execution the object of the
conspiracy, that is, for the purpose of
transporting from the republic of Mexico
Chinese, and introducing them into tne
United States In violation of the Chinese
exclusion act. The court is ol the opinion
and so charges you that the chartering
of the Edward Corrlgan is not sufficient
in itself to establish an overt act upon
the part of tho defendants, or any one
of them by reason of the fact that the
evidence' discloses tli&t, notwithstanding
said vessel may have been chartered by
one or mere of the patties defendant for
the period of thirty days said vessel was
not used, manned or equipped and there-
fore not reasonably calculated by its use
to effect the common object and designs.
If any, upon the part of the defendants.
POSSIBLE ACT OF CONSPIRACY.
If you believe that the lugger St. John
was chartered or hired by one or more
of the defendants and that the same was
manned and equipped for the purpose of
unlawfully introducing Chinese into the
United States, then, in contemplation of
law, if you believe that It was so char-
tered, equipped and manned, you will be
Justified in concluding that this was an
act. upon the part of one or more of the
defendants having In view the accom-
plishment of the alleged common design.
If you believe from the evidence that
said lugger was chartered by one or more
of the defendants, having in view the ac-
complishment of the alleged common de-
sign.
If you believe from the evidence that
said lugger was chartered by one or
more of the defendants, but not for the
purpose of bringing Chinese into the
United States, then you will disregard all
testimony relating to the hiring and char-
tering or said lugger St. John, as it be-
comes wholly immaterial for what pur-
pose It may nave been chartered or hired,
unless it be for the sole purpose of aid-
ing and facilitating the alleged conspira-
tors In the furtherance of the unlawful
Introduction of Chinese into the United
States.
If you believe from the evidence that
tho conspiracy had been entered Into as
above defined and that at Galveston in
the month of October, 1909. one or more
of the defendants bought the sloop Mys-
tery and thereafter manned, provisioned
and equipped the same for the purpose
of unlawfully transporting Chinese trom
the republic of Mexico Into the United
States, then and In that event you will be
Justified In treating said act as Intended
to affect the object of the alleged con-
spiracy and the defendants so chartering,
manning and equipping said sloop Mys-
tery and all other parties to the con-
spiracy would be guilty as charged in the
Indictment.
You are further Instructed that the law
presumes all parties charged with crime
to be Innocent until their guilt is es-
tablished beyond a reasonable doubt.
Therefore If you have a reasonable doubt
as to the guilt of the defendants, your
verdict should be not guilty.
(Herein the court recites the form of
verdict.)
You will make no finding In the case
as against the defendant, S. P. Smith,
by reason of the fact that he has entered
a plea of guilty. This plea, however,
upon the part of S. P. Smith should not
prejudice or Influence you in reaching
a verdict as to the guilt or Innocence of
any of the other defendants.
.."ou will make no reference to two of
the defendants, to-wit: Herman F. Hood
and Seong Wo, for the reasons that they
have not been arrested and are not on
trial.
The court also instructed the Jury not
to consider the defendants that were dis-
charged.
BALLINGER IDEA UNFEASIBLE

HASHARMED HIS FRIENDS
By Announcement That He Expects
to Continue in Congress and
That He Will Again Be a
Candidate for Speaker. ^
BY C. A. EDWARDS.
WASHINGTON, January 15.—There 14
a new angle added almost every day to
the already many-sided controversy with-
in the republican party.
The latest one was when President Taft
let It be known that the recent proclama-
tion of the republican congressional com-
mittee declaring war on the Insurgents
had not been submitted to him, and had
not received his approval.
This Is In denial of the report lndus-
triously circulated by the regulars to the
7"AVlvr * egumi» iu LilO
effect that the organization pronuncia-
mento had received • * -
the president.
—•uwiiivu |/tuuuiH.ia-
the indorsement of
Mr. Taft is showing signs of becoming
resentful over the way in which the regu-
l?r£.arew5.ee£n*.to draP him into their
fight with the Insurgents. The recent
complication over patronage was suffi-
ciently unpleasant, but to have it fol-
lowed by this unwarranted assertion that
ne had joined in an active campagn
against the Insurgents was worse.
The developments show a decided ten-
dency on the part of Influential members
of the house organization to stand from
under in the matter of the congressional
committee manifesto. It already is recog-
nized as being a big boomerang, cer-
tain to do more damage to the Cannon
forces than the insurgents.
That Is chiefly because its argument is
based upon a preposterous proposition.
If Theodore Roosevelt could be In Wash-
ington now It surely would make hlnrs
howl with laughter to see the organiza-
tion leaders of the house endeavoring to
set up as a test of party loyalty unques-
tioning acceptance of administration leg-
islative proposals.
For the last four or five years, up to
the inauguration of Mr. Taft, the chief
howl from the capitol has been that of
executive usurpation. The constant out-
cry has been that the president was dic-
tating. or attempting to dictate, to con-
gress what bills it should pass and what
It should not reject.
It got so that at the last session, dur-
ing the Roosevelt administration, it was
enough to kill a bill to know that the
president favored It. But now, all of a
sudden, the same men who so short a
time ago were clamoring about executive
usurpation, are announcing that unserv-
ing and unquestioning acceptance of ad-
ministration recommendations is the true
and only test of party fealty.
The fact is that the regulars are des-
perate. The frantic efforts of Speaker
Cannon In his recent speeches to line up
the insurgents as followers of Bryan have
failed to carrj' weight in the country.
On the contraiy, the tide against Can-
nonlsm is rising constantly, and almost
every day there are fresh evidences of
that fact. It has even invaded Pennsyl-
vania, that old rock fortress of Cannon-
ism, and some members of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation are beginning to receive
warning to give heed to the sentiment in
their districts, or take the consequences.
The ready way in which the country
saw through the charge of Bryanisrm
shows that It will not be deceived by this
new sham, and there already are evi-
dences that the fake Is being detected.
The suspicion of Cannon and his follow-
ers is so general and ao deep-seated that
it takes much more than an ordinary
sheep's skin to make the country be-
lieve there is no wolf underneath.
The fraud In the new position of the
regulars Is easily manifest. The insur-
rection against Cannonlsm started in the
habitual opposition of the speaker and
his followers to measures proposed by
the Roosevelt administration. That in-
surrection found at the outset that it
was utterly unable to accomplish any-
thing," owing to the domination of the
house by the speaker under the system
of rules lnsistd on by the organization.
Thereupon the fight crystallized on the
rules, the typlflcatlon of Cannonlsm. It
was a fight primarily for the right to
endeavor by amendment to bills under
consideration to embody the administra-
tion recommendations. And It was tha
constant thwarting of that effort by Can-
nonlsm that has precipitated the present
situation.
No one who is at all familiar with the
events of the last three years is in the
least fooled by the new cry from the regu-
lar camp that men who do not support
the administration measures ipso facto
take themselves out of the party. But
how a faithful application of that extraor-
dinary doctrine would have suited Theo-
dore Roosevelt. For it would have given
him qulttanco in his first congress of the
men who made the most trouble for his
legislative-recommendations, the very men
who are now raising the cry against the
Insurgents.
Speaker Cannon has thrown consterna-
tion into the camp of his own friends by
coming out flatfootedly and unequivocally
with the announcement that he doesn't in-
tend to retire, but will stay in congress
as long as his constituents In the Dan-
ville district of Illinois will send him here.
That announcement has given some of
his warmest friends and supporters a case
of the dry grins, for they have been noti-
fied by their constituents that a continued
support of Cannon means that they will
be separated from their jobs. And Can-
non not only intimates that he is going to
stay in congress as long as he can, but
that he will continue to be a candidate
for speaker.
This is a serious trouble-maker for his
friends, for they are all under personal
obligations to him for committee assign-
ments. And thus, while the Cannon regu-
lars are having their troubles, the insur-
§ents are between the devil and the deep
lue sea.
They do not want to attend a caucus of
the republican party which is to name the
six members of the house on the Ballin-
ger-Pinchot investigating committee be-
cause they believe they are in for a thor-
ough spanking at the hands of the regu-
lars in that caucus, and at the same time
they are afraid not to attend, because they
fear the wrath of the president. And the
wrath of the president means a curtail-
ment of patronage in their districts, which
would mean to tnem a curtailment of sup-
port on the part of their people.
Oh, it is a beautiful row. On with the
dance; let joy be unconfined!

WASHINGTON, January IB.—The Unit-

and Russia has won that distinction. Even
though last year the total yield of wheat
In the United States was next to the
largest in the history of American agri-

ceeded it, Russia last year produced tha
large harvest of 783,000,000 bushels, which
constltued the largest crop ever harvest-
