lilt by lilt tlic Prosecution Connects
Up Links of Evidence Against
Hnyivood.
Boise, Juno 20. Unless there
should be unforeseen delay In se
curing a couple of pieces of evidence,
the State will tomorrow close its
case against Haywood, whom It
charges with the mnrder of Frank
Steunenberg. It was announced
this afternoon by Senator Borah, one
of the special speakers, also by
Clarenco Darrow, of the defense,
during the discussion of the ar
rangoment of the timo ho made it
very clear that directly the State
closed, he and his associates would
move the court for an instruction
directing the verdict of acquittal. It
is now anticipated that the State
will closo its case by noon, that the
afternoon session may bo devoted to
the argument of the expected motion
of the defense, and if the court rules
adversely on motion the opening
statement in behalf of Haywood will
bo made by Darrow on Saturday.
The prosecution succeeded today in
again showing a direct connection
with the store of George Pettlbono
in Denver and Orchard while at
work on the Bradley crime In San
Francisco, and promises to make a
connection with Pettibone personally
by handwriting experts who will be
called tomorrow. The original rec
ords of the Postal Telegraph Com
pany were produced and showed in
September and October, 1904, when
remittances of over $125 were made.
The first was by "J. Wolff" and the
second by P. Bono, from 1725 Stout
street, Denver, the address of Petti
bone's store, to H. Green, in care of
Peter L. Huff, at 211 Taylor street,
San Francisco. It is claimed that
the handwriting in both Instances is
the Bame as in the latter Pettibone
wrote to tho Mutual Life Insurance
Company when Orchard joined that
company as solicitor. The State
also showed that whlle at Silver
City, Idaho, in 1899, Haywood de
clared Steunenberg was a tyrant and
monster, who should bo 'extermina
ted, and by James Klrwan, acting
secretary and treasurer of the West
ern Federation of Miners, that Jack
SImpkins and Marion Moore wero
made members of tho executive
board in 1905, and that the control
of all the expenditures made by the
organization was vested in the presi
dent, secretary and treasurer. For
the rest it was a day of reading with
Borah as first reader. Judge Wood
admitted many of the strongly word
ed articles in tho Miner's Magazine,
in which Steunenberg was bitterly
denounced. They wero admitted to
show tho animus of Federation offi
cials against Steunenberg and against
Justices Gabbart and Goddard, whom
Orchard swore ho tried many times
to kill.
To practically every piece of tes
timony offered during the day the
defense first offered an objection,
and then made a motion to strike
out, and lastly had an exception
noted on record. To all tho evi
dences of tho general conspiracy al
leged by the Stato the objections of
the defense included propositions
that the acts shown were not bind
ing on the defendant, and they did
not connect with tho Steunenberg
murder, and there was frequent ob
jections to the evidence offered to
corroborate Orchard's testimony
that ho had accomplices In tho man
ner provided by tho statute.
It was stated tonight that the
prosecution has received a telegram
from Denver showing tho date on the
draft for $100 sent by Haywood to
SImpkins was December 21, 1905,
Orchard testified that it was tho un
signed letter receivet by him at Cald
well after the Steunenberg murder
"was written by Pettibone and had In
formed him that, "that" had been
sent to "Jack" on December 2 J,
1905. The State produced drafts
eent by Haywood to SImpkins, and
among them was one for 1100 sent

Paris, June 20. Owing to censor
ship in the south only brief items of
news of the wine growers demon
strations have reached Paris up to
this afternoon. These, however,
show conflicts between troops and
mobs more sanguinary than at first
supposed. At Narbonno three were
killed and fully a hundred soldiers
and clvirus, including a score of
women aro 3aid to have been wound
ed, severr.l fatally. Troops that
wero ordered to fire in the air, shot
straight at the mobs, besieging them
in the courtyard of the subprefect
ure. A whole army corps has been
put In motion to deal with the re
bellious wine growers, but the gov
ernment "claims the forces are so
distributed as to isolate the different
sections.
It Is practically Impossible to ef
fect a general mobilization of the
disaffected people. Nearbonne Is
reported as presenting a remarkable
spectacle. Paving stones, used in
tho assault upon the troops, encum
ber the streets, walls are marked
with bullets, windows are broken
and cafes wrecked; the furniture
having been used for building bar
ricades. Broken bottles and clubs
litter tho streets everywhere. Most
of the wounded are suffering from
gunshot wounds and sabre gashes or
fractured skulls or limbs.

Washington, June 20. The Inter

day decided to Institute a proceeding
of Inquiry and investigation into tho
affairs of the Hamburg-American
Packing Co., which is charged by
Peter Wright and Sons, general
agents at Philadelphia, of the Cos
mopolitan lines, with pooling and
maintaining monopolies in restraint
of trade. The Inquiry Is expected to
be the most stupendous ever under
taken and of a character different
from any that has ever before en
gaged the attention of the commis
sion. The Inquiry will have to deal
with an alleged combination between
the railroads in the United States and
the German shipping concern, and

San Francisco, Juno 20. Mayor
Schmltz's attorneys lato this after
noon applied to tho district court of
appeals for a release of the mayor
on uall by writ of habeas corpus.
Sixteen showings 'aro made in the
petition and at least one of them is
decidedly sensational. It Is the
declaration of th0 attorneys that the
mayor Is suffring from an Incurable
disease and that imprisonment In jail
will cause his death.
It is understood that tho disease
affected is affection of the kidneys,
and that It has advanced to a seri
ous stage. Tho petition alleges that
the section of the penal code under
which tho mayor was ordered into
custody is unconstitutional in that
the petitioner is deprived of his lib
erty without due process of law.
The petition further alleges that Im
prisonment of the mayor is a fur
therance of the conspiracy by Ru
dolph Spreckels and others through
coervlco power over the board of su
pervisors who have confessed their
guilt of bribery, to usurp the office
of mayor and secure full political
control of affairs in San Francisco.

Public Lands Convention Passes
Resolution Opposing Changing
of Grazing Law.
Denver, Juno 20. The first pub
lic land convention ever held came
to an end late today with tho adop
tion of a series of resolutions which
wero not so radical as expected. A
letter was received from President
Roosevelt and was tho feature of tho
day's session. The resolution over
which there was the most dispute
read: "Wo oppose any change in the
existing law and custom as to the
grazing of live stock upon the pub
lic domain, outsldo of tho forest re
serves." Tho resolutions stato that
experience has demonstrated the
wisdom of disposing of the land to
actual settlers, and that people of
the west aro opposed to any change
in this policy. Also that forest re
serves should only bo created where
they do not Infringe upon this pol
icy. Tho resolution favors prompt
elimination from tho forest reserves.

stance: "A crisis has been reached In
the fight between the telegraphers
union and the Western Union Tele
graph Company, and the strike will
be declared in this city tomorrow un
less the demands of the local union
are met by tho company. Sam
Small, president of the union, is in
this city and will have personal
charge of tho fight. A committee of
tho union called on Superintendent
Jaynes, of the Western Union, this
afternoon, but carrying out the pol
icy of the company from tho very
start, he refused to see them as
members of the union, although bo
be called as soon as the leaders can
get in touch with the operators,
which will not take long.
The demands of tho union are for
an advance of 26 per cent, which Is
Intended to be temporary and in ef
fect only during the present period
of high prices following the fire.
This demand Is purely local, affect
ing only tho operators In San Fran

battle which tho operators will wage
throughout the country.

slgxteen passengers relieved ofthelr
valuables, yesterday by "Black Kid,"
a notorious! lono bandit of this sec
tion. Yesterday afternoon in the
locality of his former successes tho
bandit stood at the sldo of tho road
with a Winchester rifle lovoled at
Archie Turner, driver. He called
upon Turner to hold up and then
commanded the passengers to put up
their hands. Ho waited until tho
second stage appeared, when ho com
manded all the passengers to alight
and hold up their hands.
Tho bandit singled out Francis S.
Eaton, of Bostor, to pass the bat.
demanding of the frightened pas
sengers their purses and watches.
After having made tho collection Ea
ton was compelled to tie his wealth,
consisting of jewelry and $250 In a
handkerchief and pass It over to tho
robber. While the collection pro
cess was going on the robber com
pelled Mrs. Eaton to stand behind
him, thus using her as a shield from
any attack from the rear.
While waiting for tho second stage
and when tho collection was going
on the bandit talked pleasantly to
tho drlvor and helped himself to
some peaches, potatoes and crackers
from the stage, remarking ho had a.
hard night before him. When he
finished the general holdup and tho
replenishing of his stock of food
stuffs, ho ordered the passengers
back Into the stage and commanded
