K
Trial At Boise Delayed By One Day
Because of His Inability
To Attend
SURMISES ADVANCED
Friends of Prosecution Say Illness
Was Subterfuge In Order to
Gain Time.
&
Boibe, Juno 1. William D. Hay
wood was seized with a sudden ill
ness early this morning and was un
able to appear in court. He was
restless and 111, most of the night,
and early this morning began to cry
In pain. Two hurriedly summoned
uhyolclans announced ho was suffer
ing with acute Intestinal tozemi.
Measures for alleviation of pain
were taken, which Included tho ad
ministration of morphine and tho
dizziness and nausea caused by tho
drug rather than by the original
trouble, were responsible for his in
ability to go to tho court room in
the afternoon.
Haywood is a hearty eater, and
since the trial began has stopped
taking exorcise, and these conditions,
qddedt to the worry and strain of the
trial, are believed to bo responsible
for tho attack. The earlier suffer
ing of the prisoner created the lm-
prsslon he was quite seriously ill,
and It was thought an extended IrP
terruptlon of the trial was inevitable.
He responded quickly to the treat
ment, and this morning it was
thought ho would bo able to attend
tho afternoon session. He attempted
to dress, but was seized by nausea
and returned to bed. His counsel
informed the court he would be
ready on Monday, to which day the
trial was adjourned.
The Interruption of the trial gave
rise to a large crop of opinions.
Friends of the prosecution expressed
the belief Haywood's Illness was
merely to securuo time to further in
vestigate tho latest venire; others
were sure Haywood had collapsed
under tho strain of the trial. Ono
suspicious friend declared Haywood's
friends should petition the authori
ties to personally prepare all food
for the prisoner. Still another re
port was that the defense was great
ly dissatisfied with several of the
jurors and would seek, by affidavits
to secure the consent to further ex
amine them. Anothr report was
that the prosecution was dissatisfied
with one juror and would ask to
have him removed after the defence
had exhausted its last peremptory
challenge.
Peter Breen, attorney of Butte, re
tained by the Miners' Union of that
city to assist the defense, arrived to
day and was In conference with Hay
wood's counsel, but took no part in
tho proceedings. There appeared
some question about his entry in
th case, and it was said he would
not remain here. Some announce
ment Is expected tonight.
ELECTION TOMORROW
The Outcome in Coquille and Myrtle
Point Is Causing Much Specu
lation and Interest.
Tomorrow will witness tho most
closely contested election held in
Coos County for some time and there
is much speculation as to the out
come, Coquille seems to be about
evenly divided, and Myrtle Point is
said to be strongly in favor of Pro
hibition. There seems to bo no
question but that tho cities of tho
Bay will vote the "wef ticket. Tho
other towas in Coos County who
want to rdlustoto tho saloons aro
counting ca a majoi'ty vote from
tho Bay cities of 200.
At tho last olecilcm Marshflld
polled 241 votes against prohibition
and 123 In favor. North Bend
polled 220 against ard 82 In fa.r.
In the entire county tbcro were 1,14."
votes for prohobltion and 1,277

a majority of 132 votes.
Two Additional Steamers On Coos
Bay-Portland Run Break
water and Czarina
MEANS NEW LINE
Freighter Will Not He Placed On
Until Some Time Nevt Fall
Large Boat.
Better service between Portland
and Coos Bay ports, that will provide
ample facilities for greatly enlarging
Portland's trade, is to be granted by
a new steamer line to be placed on
the run by the Southern Pacific.
Tho steamers Czarina and Break
water will be put in commission
within the Tiext few months, with
sailings every six days.
The announcement that these ar
rangements have been made will bo
greeted with a great deal of satis
faction by Portland people. The busi
ness interests of the city have long
clamored for adequate transporta
tion facilities to Coos Bay and peo
ple of that section nave been eager
to have such arrangements made
that they can trade with Portland.
Tho interests of Coos County are
with Oregon, but owing to the diffi
culty In transporting goods from
Portland to tho Coos Bay cities,
much of this trade has gone to San
Francisco. With the establishment
of this steamer line, there Is no
doubt that Portland will secure all
the trade of the rich Coos country.
The restricted service that now
obtains to Coos Bay ports seriously
restricts trade with that district.
Regular and frequent sailings with
large, first-class steamers on the
run, will expand the business of the
Coast section, develop its resources
and add an important source to Port
land's permanent prosperity.
The matter has been under consid
eration for some time, and It has
been decided to place tho Break
water In service early in July, or as
soon as she is off the San Francisco
drydocks, where she Is being over
hauled. The passenger accommoda
tions on board are being enlarged
and freight-handling machinery is
being added.
The Czarina, a freighter, now ply
ing between Puget Sound, the Co
lumbia Biver and San Francisco, will
not enter the service until Fall,
owing to the demands of the present
traffic. i n'3f!$g
The name of the new steamer line
will be tho Portland & Coos Bay
Steamship Company. The vessels
will be berthed at Oak street dock
and arrangements will probably be
made for the sale of tickets at the
Third street ticket office of the Har
riman lines.
Both steamers are suitable for tho
run proposed for them. The Break
water was built by Roche & Sons,
Philadlphla, and is on the lines of
the Cunarders. She has a net regis
ter of 793 tons, is 01 feet long and
30 feet beam. She is equipped with
modern, first-class machinery and Is
fast. In every way she is an up-to-date
steamer.
As welcom? as the news of tho
new line is in Portland, it will be
hailed with delight with perhaps oven
greater satisfaction In Coos Bay,
where an adequate lino has been a
long felt want. Oregonian.
ATTEMPT TRAIN WRECK
Timely Discovery Averts Another
Disastrous Accident to Southern
Pacific Passenger Train.
Los Angeles, June 1. What ap
pears to be another deliberate at
tempt to wreck a Southern Pacific
train was made this morning a half
mile from Burbank. Tho work gang
discovered that a fishplate had been
driven hard and fast into the split
switch and would certailnly have
caused a derailment of tho first pass
ing train had not the obstruction
been found. Shortly after the fish
plate was removed, tho regular south
uound passenger train from Santa
Barbara whizzed over tho spot. Dis
charged employes of tho road who
are harboring ill will toward tho
managment are suspected.

BREAK GROUND AT ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC
EXPOSITION' WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES
Seattle, June 1. With much
pomp and Impressive ceremonies,
ground was broken today for tho
Alaska - Yukon - Pacific Exposition
which will be held In ID 09, opening
just two years from date. Tho day
being practically declared a holiday,
Seattle presented a gala appearance,
and amid a blare of trumpets the
marching of a military pageant, in
spiring speeches and banqueting,
the inauguration of active work on
the Pacific world's fair was cele
brated. From early morning until
late at night the officials of thoEx-
position were kept busy attending to;
the duties that fell upon them to
make tho day ope to beMong remem
bered in tho history of the Pacific
Northwest.
Many prominent men, mayors,
legislators, governors and state offi
cials attended the ceremonies, and
visitors from nearby cities wero
present. It was asserted today by
tho Exposition officials that the aus
picious event of ground breaking ex
emplified the great Interest that -is
taken everywhere in tho world's fair
of 1909. Hon. John Barrett, direct
or of the International Bureau of
American Republics, as tho personal
representative of President Roose
velt, was the principal speaker of
the day and tho guest of honor.
President John Edward Chllberg,
of tho Exposition, after appropriate
remarks, turned the first spadeful of
earth amid the playing of the Star
Spangled Banner and rousing cheers
of the thousands in attendance, thus
declaring that work had commenced
on the great fair. Addresses were
delivered also by Governor Albert
E. Mead, of Washington, and Mayor
William H. Moore, of Seattle.
Tho ceremonies started with a big
military parade at noon. It passed
through tho principal downtown
streets, which wero thronged with
people and ended at Union Station,
where a special train was taken fpr
the Exposition grounds. Tho fol
lowing .troops were in line: United
States regulars from Fort Lawton,
marines from Puget Sound Navy
Yard, Washington National Guard
and the High School Cadets. Tho
fifty Exposition trustees, officers and
distinguished guests rodo in car
riages. Tho exercises on tho grounds be
gan at 2 o'clock, and If the tenor of
tho speeches made can be taken as a
criterion of tho importance of tho
Exposition to the world at large,
there is no doubt of its ultimate suc
cess. Following Is tho list of speak
ers: Hon. John Barrett, director of the
International Bureau of American
Republics, representing "President
Roosevelt.
Governor Albert E. Mead, Stato
of Washington.
Mayor William H. Mooro, Seattle.
President J. E. Chllberg, of tho
Exposition.
John P. Hartman, Board of Re
gents, Washington University,
Henry A. McLean, Washington
Stato Commission.
I. A. Nadeau, director general of
tho Exposition was master of ceremonies.
in Des Molno3 Register and Leader.
The day's ceremonies will end this
evening by an elaborate banquet to
John Barrett at the Rainier Club.
Mr. Barrett Is well known in the
West. Before he entered the Gov
ernment service he was a newspaper
man In Portland, Seattle, San Fran
cisco and Tacoma. He began his
diplomatic career as minister to
Siam, and since has hold several
Important diplomatic posts.
It is thought by the management
that two years of. strenuous work
on the $10,000,000 world's fair will
find it completed in every detail by
Juno 1, 1909, the opening day. The
past year has been spent in exploita
tion work which has produced satis
factory results. Many States have
. made "appropriations and tho prom
ises of others and foreign govern
ments, have been secured. The pro
motion work will be carried on just
as energetically for the nexl two
years as the work on the grounds
and buildings.
I The purpose for which tho Alaska-
I Yukon-Pacific Exposition is being
held is considered by every one to be
I worthy of the expenditure of so large
a sum. Briefly, its primary object
is to exploit the resources and poten
tialities of the Alaska and Yukon
territories In the United States and
i Canada, and to make known and fos-
I ter tho vast importance of the trade
of tho Pacific Ocean and of the
1 countries bordering upon it.
The Exposition site, which em
braces the unused portion of the
campus of the University of Wash,
ington, is 250 acres in extent and
borders for more than a mile and a
half on lakes Union and Washing
ton. It has been pronounced bj
competent authority as scenlcally the
finest ever utilized for such a pur.
pose. The Olympic" and Cascade
Mountains are in sight and an unob
structed view may be had of tho per
petual snow peaks of Mt. Ralniei
and Mt. Baker. In their virgin state
the grounds possess everything tc
please the eye. Thero are tal.
stately giants of tho forest, gentle
slops, commanding terraces and un
surpassed stretches of water front.
The natural amphitheatre where
the ground breaking ceremonies
wero held will accommodate manj
thousands of people. Speaking In a
natural voice one may bo heard to
tho outermost edge.
Now that ground has been broken
work will start immediately on the
landscaping and the laying out of
roads, plazas and circles. Tho Ad
ministration building will be erected
at onco in order that tho manage
ment may have headquarters on tho
grounds. Tho Exposition plans call
for about twelve largo exhibit pal
aces arranged In a unique manner.
