Boise, Idaho, July 19. A day of ar- Igument on the admissibility of point !of evidence followed the announcement from the defense that they had no fur ther witnesses to offer in U half of Wil- 'liam D. Haywood. The jury was not brought into court, Judgo Wood having I. .. ,1 I... .....,.. I f it,ii, .!.. rebut Ul. Clarence Iwrrow spoke lor an hour ami a half of the morning sos sion. Senator Borah replied in the afternoon and was followed by v.. t . Richardson. Judge WihxI will prob ably announce his decision today. The point argued was the proposition to exclude from consideration by the jury the evidence offered by the de fense to show, bv proof of deportation of minners from and the employment of detectives in the Cripple C reek ens- tint of Colorado, that a conspiracy was formal anions the mine owners and the citizens of the district to prevent the employments of members of the est. em Federation of Miners. The posi tion taken bv the 1 lav wood defense was that Harry Orchard was employed by the Mineowners' association through detectives to commit crimes which were then charged to the Federation, and public opinion aroused against the .un ion workers, and it therefore followed that, if Colorado evidence for the state was admitted, the defense had the right to show a counter-conspiracy, The reply of the state was that the de fense had failed legally to connect its case in these particulars and therefore its evidence merely contused that issue In the absence of the jury the argil' ment gave ceuneel an opportunity to take a wide range in commenting on the methods employed on both sides. Mr. Darrow was impassioned and vitu perative. He bitterly assailed Orchard and the Pmkertons. Mr. Borah confined himeelf largely to the legality of the question of admis sibility. He spoke for an hour, force fully reviewing the evidence and alle gations made by the defense, which, he said, failed to show bv the memler of the alleged conspiracy between the mine-owners and the Pinkertons that any such conspiracy existed. DISSENSIONS IN THE RANKS. fitrikirg Telegraph Operators Criti cise National Chiefs. San Francisco, July 19. Yesterday was a busy day in the ranks oi the strik ing telegraphers at Oakland. There were committees appointed and many impromptu consultations held, and dur ing the afternoon several operators waited on the three members of the executive committee, M. J. Reidy, S Konenkamp, and J. M. Sullivan, but absoluthte silence was maintained as to the meeting or the trend of the discussions. It was evident from the bearing of the conferees that the situation was considered serious and there were hints of increasing friction among the leaders of the strikers. The executive commit tee came in for severe criticism on ac count of its reported remarks deprecat ing the calling of the strike and its ap parent lack of sympathy for the local operators.
