Prosecution Rests the Case and Defense Opens Its Side. PRI L The proseciition in the Dillard case rested yesterday morning and the col- | ored defendant went on the stand in his | own behalf. He swore positively that he | had never forged Collector Lynch's sfgn nature to any document. He also testi- | fied that he was interested in a race | horse and secured permission on num- | erous occaslons to attend the races dur- ing business hours. The witess told | about his being at the beck and call of | every deputy in the office. He said he | went more than fifty times to the rall- | road offices for Collector Lynch on busi- ness of a private nature. | The defendant swore he left the city on | May 10, 1902, because of troubles with his | wite. The court would not permit his counsel to develop what this trouble was. | Defendant testified that he tendered his | resignation on three occasions, because | his wife and he could not get along. He stated that he remained in the office on | the advice and by the persuasion of Col- | lector Lynch, who always acted as arbi- | trator. | Dillard stated that he did three men's | work and by reason of his energy and | knowledge of his duties Collector | had retained him in the office, d | the fact that Senator Perkins desired | Dillard discharged. | Attorney Shortridge decided he had | cross-examined Theodore Kytka suffi- clently on Monday and therefore did not continue the examination at the open- ing of court yesterday. The United States t Attorney recalled Coliector John ynch and Speclal Agent Thomas of | the Internal Revenue Department and | | asked them a few questions. The prose- | | cution rested its case and Shortridge de- | livered his opening statement. He told the jury what he intended to prove.

Lynch in any one of the documents mentioned. He never wrote that name to this letter. He never committed the crime of forgery. We shall hope to prove by positive evidence that he never passed any fraudulent document. We shall show you that he could not have uttered these forged docu- mentsbecause they are not forged. He obeyed orders and did his duty and he ieft the city because ¢ mestic troubles. He sits be- fore you alone, persecuted by every man con- nected with that office.

E. Stone as Their Head. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 11.—W. E. Stone of Eldon, Iowa, division No. 181, has been elected to fill the unexpired term as grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, made vacant by the deaths of P. M. Ar- thur and A. B. Youngson. After the elec- tion the executive committee of the broth- erhood said that no fear need be felt of any radical changes in the policy of the brotherhood, that the new grand chief will carry out the conservative principles advocated by the late Chief Arthur. No election will be made to the office of first assistant grand chief until the general convention of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers at Los Angeles in May, 1904, Warren Sanford Stone was born in Ainsworth, Washington County, Towa, in February, 1860. He has been railroading for twenty-four years on that portion of thesRock Island system known as the Missouri division. He has been chairman of the general board of adjustment of that road for a number of years. Mr, Stone will remove to Cleveland, as the constitution of his organization re- quires the president to live in this city, where the headquarters are located. ——————— Appoints Democrat to Office.

The wine makers of the State are look- ing forward with interest to a meeting of next Saturday at St. Helena, Napa County, for the purpose of discussing the enactment of a national law to regulate wines. A circular letter has been sent out in which are the following state- ments: meeting of the gra ind wine men will be held at St. Helena Au 15, 1903. It is Mr. Bell's désire to obtaln & consensus of-epinion of those interested in the wine industry before introduc- ing_a pure wine measure at the next meeting of Congress. All members of the delegation in Congress have been invited and a mapority of them will undoubtedly be in attendance, The circular letter is signed by B. Bruck as secretary. A committee con- sisting of J. L. Beringer, B. Bruck, W. W. Lyman, F. 8. Ewer, F. J. Merriam, H. Schram, A. Christin, C. L. Larue, J. Grimm and J. G. Johnson is responsible for calling the meeting. These are Napa Valley vine growers who are prominent in their line. Their circular letter has PBeen sent out to a large number of wine and grape men with requests to attend the meeting or to see that committees are appointed to be present who shall be rep- resentative of the Several wine districts of California. For some time wine men who produce pure wines have complained that there are other wine men in this State who are engaged in fabricating wines in emu- lation of Eastern partles who are lhurr osed to have “brick vineyards,” as their glnntu are jocularly alluded to by the trade. This matter has been made the subject of more or less comment in wine and spirit trade papers and has been mentioned in the Eastern trade papers and has also found place in monthly re- ports sent out by certain California wine houses to their customers and to the gen- eral trade. instance, in a recent clr- cular sent out by the Gundlach-Bundschu Wine Company the following paragraph appeared: The introduction of our new Federal food law and fts application on imported wines may somewhat influence and stimulate the trade in Ameriean wines—provided our own wine makers will understand heed the timely warning implied by this act of Congress. vek ne- farlous practices are tolerated the on of an industry begins. It must, therefore, be- come the alm and ambition of évery wine-pro- ducing State in the Union to uphold the stand- At the suggestion ;ol Congressman Bell a wine and grape men which will be held | the manufacture and sale of adulterated| ard of purity and excellence of its home pro- As Califgrnia is the great wine-produc- | ing State of the United States this diplo- matic phrasing applies strongly to Cali- fornia. It is rumored that certain parties known by the trade to be manufacturing wines in which several ingredients not supplied by the grapes are used may be handled without gloves at the St. Helena meeting. In any event if the meeting re- sults in the censure, of adulteration of California wines and a strong bill to reg- ulate the production of wines under pen- alties or restrictions it will’amount to throwing down the gauntlet to the wine makers who are now producing adulter- ated goods and who have considerable sums of money invested in plants for carrying on their industry. One of the concerns against which the wine men are murmuring is among the largest in the State of California. e e ——— Enjoins the Union Pacific. OMAHA, Neb., Aug.
