Notwith standing alarmist reoorts. there does not appear to be the slightest reason to an- ticipate disturbance; in fact, the citizens ridicule the suggestion. "Martial law will not be declared in Boise unless disturbances should occur and make such a step necessary," said Governor Gooding today to the Associated Press, when shown a statement that It was his intention to place Ada County under martial law at the commencement of the trial of Haywood. "I do not expect any such breach of the peace on the part of the people of our state, and I should very deeply regret the necessity for a dec laration of martial law. Any statement that martial law has ever been under con sideration is absolutely without foundation." SOLD SECRETS TO THIEVES Hltchcotk Kept Them Lest He Lose Their Evidence Changes Among the Officials to Increase Ef ficiency Are Numerous. . O IEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, May 1. Commissioner R. A. Ballinger does not propose to run the General Land Office as a harbor of refuge for crooks, nor does he propose to operate it as a charitable institu tion. Today he summarily removed "William E. Valk, of Maryland, and Woodford D. Harlan, of this city, two clerks who appeared before the grand jury In this city in February. 1904, and admitted that they had accepted bribes from Benson and Hyde, the perpetrators of vast land frauds in Oregon and Washington, whose trial was recently set for next October. Valk and Harlan confessed that they had furnished Benson and Hyde with ad vance information about the creation of forest reserves, which enabled the ring to profit to the extent of hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Xo Dishonest Men Wanted. Notwithstanding the coiesslons of both men. Secretary Hitchcock refused to remove them from office, -and for more than three years these self-confessed felons have been drawing good salaries from the Government, Valk at $2000 a year, Harlan at $1800. Mr. Ilitehcocjc protected them on the ground that their testimony had en abled the Government to make a case against Benson and Hyde. He further more insisted that it would be easier to net hold of Valk and Harlan as Government witnesses if they were kept on the Government payroll than if they were turned out and allowed to drift. Mr. Hitchcock once expressed a fear that, if Harlan and Valk were dis missed. Benson and Hyde would in duce them to leave the count'y. Mr. Ballinger takes a different view. He does not propose to keep in the Gen eral Land Office any man who has proven untrue to his trust, particularly a man who has confessed, as Harlan and Valk have confessed, to having deliberately sold Land Office informa tion. ' Ballinger Mast Make Good. In his campaign to improve the Land office, Mr. Ballinger has the unquali fied support of Secretary Garfield. In. fact, Mr. Garfield has told Mr. Ballin ger that he will hold him strictly ac ' countable for the conduct of the Land Office, but that he will uphold him in any move lie makes to improve the service. Coincident with the removal of Har lan and Valk. Mr. Ballinger has made many other changes, taking from high places men who have been found in competent and promoting those found capable. In 'the shake-up John H. Bal linger, of Washington, is promoted from clerk at $1800 to principal exam iner at $2000. I.AWTOX AS SPECIAL AGENT .

Ada County Courthouse, brick and coiv ventional in type, stands on an unfenced square of beautifully green " lawn, tree lined at the sidewalks. Haywood. M.avei and Pettlbone are caged In steel at night, but their days are spent In a large room with steel-barred door and windows. For two hours each day they exercise on the lawn under guard, and this has probably been the means of their good health. A Sheriff who might have been the model of "The Virginian" and three or four deputies, - tall, lithe, clear-eyed chaps. men of the West, are the alternating guards. In the group on the lawn It Is often difficult to distinguish prisoners from officials. Pettlbone telLs with glee of farmer who mistook one of the guards for him and descanted on his ferocity and depravity. Xo Need of Martial Law. "They are good prisoners," said the Sheriff. The hotels of Boise are gradually filling up in anticipation v of the trial. The town Itself, however, shows absolutely no sign of unusual conditions other than the pres ence of many strangers. The people of the Dluce seem to be almost apathetic and. MARTYRS IX RIGHTEOCS CAUSE How Xew York Unionists Picture 1'ederationists In Parade. NEW YORK. May 1.

Declines to Discuss Her Private Af fairs on Arrival in New York,, but Settles Mooted Question. NEW YORK, May 1. Miss Mabelle Gil- man, who arrived here today frm Paris on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse. ac companied by her mother, said when seen 1 concerning her reported marriage to Wil- liam E. Corey: "I must refuse to discuss my personal I affairs. However important you may re- ! gard it for me to gratify the curiosity of inquiring friends and strangers, I am . afraid I cannot share your view. But I ; will depart from this resolution far enough ot say that Mr. Corey and I will be married in this city on May 13, and both Mr. Corey's family and mine will be present. That Is all." Several weeks ago Mr. Corey leased a house on Fifth avenue, to which he will move soon after the marriage.

LIST OF INJURED IS FORTY Chicago Fire Causes Panic Among Members Women's Lunch Club. CHICAGO, May 1. About 40 women were injured in a fire that broke out today in the building at 255 "Wabash avenue. The first floor was. occupied by the Story and Clark Piano Company and the three up per floors by the Lotus Lunch Club, patronized exclusively by women. When the flames were discovered two hundred women, including the employes. were in the place and at the first cry of fire panic ensued. A number of the women leaped from the windows of the second and third stories. By far the 'greater number, however, rushed to the fire escapes. These were filled in a few seconds with a struggling mass of women, making desperate efforts to climb down. Several of them lost their holds and fell to the street and others were pushed off. The flames started in the basement and ran up the elevator shaft with terrific speed, cutting off several women in the front of the building. Two-thirds of these, despite the warnings of the spectators, leaped to the ground. The others who re mained were taken out by the firemen without injury. It is not believed that any of the women will die of their injuries. Mrs. Cecilia Malaney. one of the propri etors of the lunch room, was rescued by a fireman from one of the rear windows. Miss Wllley and Miss Boss O'Rourke, who were in the lunch room at the ttme of the fire, were injured internally. They, with others, made a rush for the rear windows, there being only one opening on the alley. Policeman Daniel Kerr put up a short ladder. Running up It he res cued Miss O'Rourke and was carrying her down when several other women jumped from the window squarely on top of him and Miss O'Rourke. All of them fell to the ground. Miss O'Rourke under them all. She was badly crushed and the re sult of her injuries are uncertain. Miss Wllley was among those who jumped and was badly hurt. The loss on the building and contents will aggregate $50,000. Miss Mary Stude myer, who was thought to have perished In the fire was later discovered, badly bruised. In the crowd outside the building. BALLOON VOYAGE FAILURE Changeable Air-Currents Force Aer onauts to Descend. GOIXONDA. 111., May 1. Captain DeF. Chandler, Vnlted States Signal Service, and J. F. McCoy, of New York, failed to break the long-distance balloon record and to win the Lahm cup. The balloon, which left, St. Louis at 7:20 Tuesday evening, ITOded Ave miles north of Golconda at 2:30 this afternoon. ( To have won the Lahm cup th balloon would have had to go more than -W2 miles. Golconda Is only 130 miles from St. Louis. Changeable air currents demonstrated to the aeronauts that they could not win the cup and for that reason they made the landing near here.

Taken from the dark recesses of a coal mine where they had been Imprisoned for more than 100 hours, the seven men rescued from the Berwlnd-White mine at Foustwell are ly ing in the hospital, physically exhausted and oblivious to all around them. The physicians say all will recover. The men were reached at 10 o'clock last night, but were not brought out until early this morning, the physicians fearing the effects of the reaction from the strain and exposure to the outer air. When brought out, all the men wanted to go to their homes, and were taken to the hospital under protest. No food was given them at first, but only a stimulant in the form of brandy and water. Soon after arriving at the hospital the men were sound asleep and no communication is allowed with them. Correspondents and newspaper photographers who swarm about the vicinity of the hospital were turned aside, and the men are not dis turbed except at regular Intervals, when the nurses administer nourishment. Im mediately after these treatments the men again drop to sleep. "We knew the men on the outside were pumping out the .water in an endeavor to release us. We Kept a careful watch and could note the water going down. There was nothing we could do to help, and we all chafed under this until we could hear the tapping on the pipe, and knew it meant for us to keep up courage," said Foreman Bolya.
