BOISB. Idaho. May 6. (Special.) There
was a very distinct manifestation of fric
tion among counsel for Moyer and Hay
wood during the proceedings In court to
day in connection with the application
for a bill of particulars. During Clarence,
Darrow's address. Judge Fremont Wood
Interrupted with a question, asking if he
understood counsel to mean they were
not ready for trial. Mr. Darrow replied
they were not. Mr. Richardson was on
his feet quickly and said they were ready
for trial, saving and excepting as to some
matters. He added he made the state
ment because he thought counsel did not
fully grasp the import of the question.
Mr. Darrow's face flushed with deep an
noyance and, when he left the courtroom
shortly afterward, he was manifestly
agitated. He did not appear at the after
noon session. The incident would not
have attracted so much attention had It
not been for other straws pointing to
feeling between Mr. Darrow and Mr.
Richardson.
Federation Canvasses County.
Members of the Western Federation of
Miners are working openly here to secure
the views of citizens on the case. They
frankly state who they are and what they
"desfre' to learn, after having inquired
about the views of the person interviewed.
(Two of them approached one of the drug
gists today. They asked his views and he
said he did not know about the case. They
pressed him for an opinion and Anally he
said:
"If the men are guilty, they should be
hanged; if they are innocent, they will
be acquitted."
One of the visitors remarked that that
was a fair statement and asked his name
and address, adding that they were mem
bers of the Federation and were canvass
ing public sentiment. The druggist told
them there was no danger of his being
on the jury, as the law exempted men of
his trade. The book they exhibited when
they asked for his name seemed to con
tain a long list of names. -
Debs Determined to Come.
Eugene V. Debs has not given up his
plan of coming to Idaho to attend the
trial. Despite the fact that one of the
leading attorneys for the defense advised
Debs that, if he really had the interest of
the defendants at heart, he would stay
away from Idaho during the trial of these
men. Debs announces in a letter to a
Socialist friend now in Boise that he will
be here about June 1. The letter was re
ceived today. In it Debs states that he
will not come to Boise until the cases are
fairly under way. He says there will be
no particular interest to him in the pre
liminary proceedings, the impaneling of
a Jury and other necessary work that
will have to be completed before the
actual trial begins.
WANT STATE TO SHOW HAXD
Haywood's Lawyers Move for Par
ticulars of Crime Alleged.
BOISE, Idaho. May 8. Judge Fremont
Wood will on Wednesday next decide if,
n the eve of his trial for the murder of
ex-Governor Frank ?teunenberg, William
D. Ha v wood is entitled to receive at the
hands of the state a bill of particulars,
specltlng the overt aits charge"d against
him. The motion of the defense for this
disclosure of the case of the state whs
argued at length today and at the con
clusion of the discussion the court an
nounced that it would make decision at
the time stated.
The prisoner, under guard of Sheriff
Hoiigln and two deputies, was brought
Into court for the argument and, of his
counsel, both Frank Richardson, of
Denver, and Clarence S. Darrow, of Chi
cago, pleaded In his behalf. Senator
Borah alone spoke in behalf of the state,
although James H. Hawley, his assistant,
was in the courtroom when the proceed
ings began. The argument, always earn
est, was characterized at times by deep
feeiinir and dramatic intensity.
Defense Left In Dark.
Mr. Richardson, who opened the argu
ment, contended that the indictment
was lacking in particularity, that it left
the defendants in the dark as to the na
ture of the case to be presented against
them, and the defendants were entitled
to a more speclnc showing of the case.
He submitted an extended brief citing a
great number of authorities and prece
dents in favor of his contention.
Mr. Borah in reply declared that the
defense was seeking a disclosure of the
proof in the hands of the state rather
than more perfect pleadings and asserted
that the reports contained no single
authority that would support such a con
tention. Mr. Darrow; who closed the argument,
began by saying that it was the purpose
of the defense to secure a disclosure of
the evidence in the hands of the prosecu
tion and asked why the defense was not
entitled to such a showing. He made a
spirited attack upon the attitude of the
prosecution toward its witnesses and
evidence, describing it as mysterious, un
fair and unjust. He asserted that the
only question involved was one of fair
ness and Justice to the accused, laid Btress
upon the difficulty of securing testimony
from distant points and the danger to
the defense of "surprise" testimony and
passionately asserted that the rights of
the prisoners were as much in the hands
of the prosecution as In the keeping
of the defense.
Ready as Circumstances Allow.
In answer to Judge Wood, Mr. Dar
row said that the defense was not ready
to go to trial, but Mr. Richardson ln-
XV. D. Haywood, Secretary of West
ern Federation of Miners, Whose
Trial for Murder of Steunenbers;
Begins Thursday.
terrupted him to make the qualification
that the defense was as ready aB it ever
could be in the circumstances where the
case of the state was withheld from it.
He said that in all other respects the de
fense was ready.
Mr. Richardson, responding in brief to
the argument of Mr. Borah, said that the
counsel for the state made no distinction
In his arguments between the overt acts
which the state would seek to show
against the prisoners and the evidence by
wlhch it would seek to show the commis
sion of the alleged overt acts. The de
fense wished to know what the overt acts
were.
Mr. Borah closed the discussion with a
spirited speech in which he defended sea,
crecy in obtaining witnesses, instancing
the loss of two in Colorado yesterday, dis
avowed a desire for any man's blood un
justly and avowed the purpose of the
state to do Its duty.
What Overt Acts Are Charged.
The motion for the bill of particulars
recites the absence of the defendant from
Idaho at the time' the crime was com
mitted, and that the Indictment contains
no (information that would show the
overt acts by which the state hopes to
prove the guilt of the accused.
When counsel had finished reading
the motion. Judge Wood interrupted to
say: "You know, Mr. Richardson, that
our state has no statute providing for
a bill of particulars in such cases."
"I ltnow that such is the case," re
plied Mr. Richardson, "and I also know
that the Supreme Court of Idaho has
hatt its attention directed to the sub
ject. Such a motion, however, as your
honor well knows, always directs it
self to ' the sound discretion of the
court."
Mr. Richardson again drew attention
to the absence of Haywood from the
stfite at the time of the murder, and
argued that he was entitled to the in
formation sought by the motion. He
quoted and explained a number of au
thorities in support of his contention
that under general rules of law the de
fendants are entitled , to have particu
lars when indictments do not clearly
set them forth. The defendants being
out of the state at the time of the
crime, the prosecution must have evi
dence to connect them by conspiracy or
otherwise with the actual killing. This
evidence the defendants were entitled
to have In order that they might pre
pare to meet it.
Mr. Richardson declared that the in
dictment did not charge either a specific
conspiracy or a general conspiracy, and
did not show whether It was alleged that
the defendants had conspired to murder
only Governor Steunenberg, or to murder
a number of persons. The accused, he
said, was therefore left In the dark by
the indictment.
The list of precedents and authorities
quoted scores of cases, including the fa
mous cases of Tilton vs. Beecher. the
People of New York vs. Tweed, and the
Chicago anarchist cases. Mr. Richard
son reviewed the only Idaho precedent,
and contended as to the time of making
the motion that it was proper at any day
before the trial. The court asked If the
case had not been ready for trial for
about a year. Mr. Richardson replied
that nearly a year ago the defense had
demanded trial.
Mr. Richardson, after a pause, said that
Haywood had Just drawn his attention
to the fact that last year the defense had
been peremptorily refused permission to
file any pleading because of the appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United States
pending.
Mr. Richardson contended that the in
dictment only showed that Governor
Steunenberg had been killed by a bomb;
that Haywood was charged with conspir
ing to have Steunenberg murdered, and
that Haywood was charged with being
present and actually committing the
crime, an assertion that everyone knew
to be untrue. "Mr. Haywood," said the
attorney, "knows all that he did at all

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 6. It is an old saying that
straws show which way the wind is
blowing, and the saying is just a8 good
now as the day it was first uttered.
A short time ago Senator Bourne, of
Oregon, gave an interview in which he
expressed the opinion that the next Re
publican convention would overwhelm
ingly declare in favor of the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt, and that the
President in tho face of that indorse
ment could not do otherwise than ac
cept the nomination. That started the
ball rolling. Since then prominent Re
publicans from all parts of the country
have given interviews in which they
express a like opinion. This sentiment
is not confined to "the West, but seems
to prevail in all sections.
Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin,
who is supposed to represent the dom
inant Republican faction of his state,
has publicly expressed the opinion that
Mr. Roosevelt will be renominated by
acclamation. Mr. La Follette is credited
with being an advanced thinker, even
somewhat inclined at times to Populis
tlc ideas, but no one will question that
he has a large following In his own
..t-..ltiWfJlai nt he would never
have become a United States Senator.
Therefore his opinion is worth some
thing. New England and Pennsylvania.
Representative Llttlefield, of Maine,
who knows considerable about senti
ment! in New England, in a recent in
terview said:
I think that Theodore Roosevelt will bo
nominated by the next Republican conven
tion. Of course. I am Judging the situation
as It now stands, and there may be a change
In events. I am convinced that the Presi
dent was sincere in his declaration that he
did not want to be a candidate again, but I
believe that he will be the first choice of
the Republicans, for he is stronger with the
people than he has ever been before.
Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, is
a machine politician. The death of
Senator Quay left him at the head of
the Republican organization in Penn
sylvania. Mr. Penrose is not a Roose
velt type of man; quite the contrary.
But he is an observing politician and
he has deemed it necessary, for some
reason, to. declare that he and Penn
sylvania have been, are and will be for
Roosevelt and his policies. Mr. Pen
rose did not ' make this declaration
without cause. It probably is true that
he was looking to his own future and
desired the support that would come
to him from the Roosevelt Republicans
in Pennsylvania, yet at the same time
he would never have made such a dec
laration if he was not satisfied that
Mr. Roosevelt is all-powerful and that
he himself might not be re-elected to
the Senate unless he was identified with
and openly friendly to the President.
Cummins for Middle West. - .
Out In the Middle West, Governor
Cummins, of Iowa, the representative
of a distinctive idea in regard to reform
tariff and unquestionably the most
powerful Republican in his state, has
seen fit to express the following sentiment:
' I believe that President Roosevelt's 'plain
duty Is to withdraw his former statement
and to . say that, . under the demand now
made and the evident state of the public
mind, he will accept another nomination, if
it is tendered to blm with practical unan
imity. President Roosevelt should with
draw his statement that he would not ac
cept a re-nomination.-
Indiana' has been advertised as a solid
Fairbanks state. The Fairbanks press
bureau is endeavoring to make the public
believe that no name is being considered
for the Republican Presidential nomina
tion except that of Charles W. Fair
banks. And yet the most influential Con
gressman from Indiana and the Republi
can whip in the House of Representatives
recently stated in a public interview:
I have always believed that the Repub
lican nominee next year would be either
Fairbanks or Roosevelt. If the President
is willing to accept the nomination, it is my
opinion-' thath will get it
What Tenwessee Think.' f
Representative Brownlow, of Tennessee,
the recognized head of the Republican
organization in that state, is out in an
Interview in which he says:
. I am heartily in 'favor of the re-nomination
of President Roosevelt. I have thought
ever since he made the statement, that
President Roosevelt made a mistake when
he declared that he would not be a candi
date and would not accept another nomina
tion. No man ought to declare himself
against the wish and will of the people
as long as he is able In every way to serve
them. He ought to take no position white
holding office contrary to the wish and
will of the people that he continue to serve
them. The popular will, based upon the
contention that President Roosevelt Is bet
ter equipped than ever before for the ex
alted office which he has honored and
adorned, attracting the attention and ad
miration of the whole world, demands that
his services be continued for another term.
Pacific Northwest Unanimous.
Nor is this all. Interstate Commerce
Commissioner Prouty, who has been
through the West as far as Portland and
Spokane, was interviewed on his return
to Washington and said: "It is useless to
talk about where the people stand as to
second choice. . They're for Roosevelt,
pretty much regardless of party. Nobody
else is talked about."
"Ia the sentiment growing stronger, or
do you think it is waning?" was asked.
"Why, it isn't growing any stronger,"
Mr. Pretty replied, "simply because
eVffrVBO'rtJr'Teeiti the same way and what
Is unanimous can't be much strength
ened." As stated at the outset, these are mere
ly straws to show -which way the wind
la blowing, but it is important to note
that prominent Republicans from different
parts of the country are so enthusias
tically declaring in favor of compelling
the President to accept another nomina
tion. Never before have these declara
tions been so pronounced and never have
they covered such a wide field. The so
called "third-term movement," regard
less of what it may result in, is cer
tainly of sufficient importance to merit
careful consideration.

JERSEY CITY, N. J. May 6. A
Lehigh Valley train of five coaches
and a combination car left here at
noon today, carrying 350 mechanics,
whose destination was said to be San
Francisco. The sign "San Fran
cisco Special" was displayed at the
end of the train.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 6. (Special.)
An air of nervous expectancy hangs over
the city of San Francisco tonight. It is
such a quiet, suppressed sentiment as be
speaks approaching conflict. The situa
tion is serious with a gravity born of un
certainty. At daylight the United Rail
roads proposes to resume the operation
of its lines with nonunion men. Two
thousand union men are on strike, and,
while neither side will discuss the possi
bility of violence, the situation has been
carefully canvassed by the police, the
militia and the officers of the regular
army.
' Patrick Calhoun, president of the United
Railroads, has announced Uit be has sev
ered for all time his relations' with the
union. He gave today as a day of grace
in the hope that a peaceful settlement
would be forthcoming, but tonight both
sides stand firm. All efforts to adjust
the difficulty came to naught. '
There is a settled feeling In the city that
the cars cannot be operated without vio
lence of some sort. Wherever the subject
was discussed, the opinion was expressed
that trouble was inevitable. While still
hoping that no outbreak will attend the
running of the cars, the authorities have
made preparations for any emergency.'
General Funston arrived tonight and
assumed command of the Department of
California. The militia armories are be
ing guarded tonight and the police force
has been given emergency orders.
The situation is complicated by the tele
phone strike and the vast industrial army
made idle through the ironworkers' strike.
Among the unions the feeling prevails
that the defeat of the carmen would be
the heaviest blow unionism could receive.
Reports are current that, if trouble at
tends the attempt of Mr. Calhoun to run
the cars, he will force the issue upon the
Government, either through a request for
a receiver or through injunction proceed
ings in the Federal court. Should the car
men disregard a Federal Injunction not to
interfere with the property of the company.
It would devolve upon the United States
Marshal to preserve order and, should he
be unable to handle the situation, an im
mediate appeal would be made to Wash
ington. At the Presidio and at posts about the
city are 2400 men. . At Monterey. 100 miles
down the coast, are nearly 1000 more. .
"The forces at hand are ample to cope
with any emergency that may arise."
said Colonel John A. Lundeen, in com
mand of the forces at the Presidio, "but
we do not' anticipate trouble, and there
fore have made no preparations to meet
It."
While this is the strain In which all the
officers speak, it Is known that the situ
ation has been thoroughly canvassed.
"We could send our troops Into town at
a moment's notice," said Colonel Lun
deen, "but we have made no unusual
preparations. We are always ready."
The local papers will comment tomor
row on the steps to be taken In case of
an outbreak. Governor Gtllett la in Los
Angeles and is keeping Informed as to
the strike situation by wire.

no change In either the carmen's, iron

three cars hauling provision and other
commissary supplies between the car
barns were run over some of the lines of
the United Railways. Beyond hooting and
Jeering along the routes traveled by the
oars, no denivrJ ntion v a" made.
It Is pretty generall understood that the
first attempt to run cars will be made
tomorrow. The company, it i said, has
about 500 strikebreakers ready to take out
cars. Mayor Schmitz has Issued a state
ment that he will not place policemen on
the cars and that the police will be used
only to preserve and maintain order.
The Civic League has been Indefatigfble

THE DALLES. Or., May 6. (Staff Cor
respondence.) Cordially received by resi
dents of all the towns visited today, the 75
members of the Portland business men's
party boarded their train tonight at 11
o'clock, after having been entertained
royally by the citizens of The Dalles. To
morrow they will wake up at Elgin,
where they are scheduled to arrive at 7
In the morning.
This has been a day full of events,
pleasure and Information for the Port
land men. The weather has been clear
all along the route, and though haze has
blurred the distant scenery somewhat,
and the wind blew strongly, the day has
been very close to perfect.
Three hours at Hood River and seven
hours at The Dalles gave opportunity lo
the citizens of . those places to bestow
hospitality. The greetings were probably
the most cordial that have ever been be
stowed upon a party of Portlanders.
Reception at The Dalles.
The. climax of the day was the recep
tion by the men and women of The Dalles
tonight at the Commercial Club. Good
addresses were made extemporaneously
by State Senator Whealdon, Mayor J. L.
Kelly and Judge A. E. Lake on behalf
of The Dalles and Tom Richardson on
behalf of Portland and by Senator C. W.
Fulton. Between the addresses were vo
cal numbers by Mrs. A. C. Strange, solo
ist, and Mrs. Harry Taylor. Mrs. Carlton
Williams, Mrs. B. S. Huntington and Mrs.
J. Sinnott, quartet.
Tom Richardson paid a compliment to
Columbia River scenery and' The Dalles
women by saying that scenery of the St.
Lawrance and the Hudson, compared with
that of the Columbia, is like a pale old
maid of New England beside the women
of The Dalles.
On arriving at this city, shortly before
5 o'clock, the visitors were greeted by a
committee of the Business Men's Associa
tion, headed by Mayor Kelly. Buggies
then conveyed them through the city and
up the ridge south of the city to an ele
vation of some 500 feet, where they had a
very fine view of the Columbia Gorge, the
mountains and the farm lands.
Greeted by Braying Jackass.
After leaving Portland the party called
first on the citizens of Fairvlew. Fore
most among them was H. C. Campbell,
well known In Portland, accompanied by
a ponderous Belgian stallian weighing, he
said. 2000 pounds. Approaching In the dis
tance was another stallion, which Mr.
Campbell said also belonged to his stock
farm near by.
"But," he said, "Just wait until you see
one of my jackasses."
Very soon up came a Jackass, which he
said was a member of the highest nobil
ity of its race. Soon it began to lift up
Its voice. Its remarks were not fully un
derstood, but Samuel Connell, chairman
of the party, called upon F. B. Manches
ter, to whom the ass appeared to be
directing his remarks, for a response.
But that gentleman, overcome by the elo
quence of the animal, declared he could
make no fitting reply and threw up hla
hands. ,
Fairvlew Wants a Dairy.
The party was welcomed to Fairvlew
by C. E. Crandall, pastor of the Method
ist Church of that place. H. H. Moore,
president of the Orecon Trust & Ravings
Bank, responded in behalf of the visitors.
Mr. Crandall cited that Fairvlew ships
about 250 carloads of jwtatoes every year,
and that within a radius of several miles
are 3000 milch cows. "We are looking for
somebody to start a creamery," said he,
"and we hope, if you see the right man.
you will send him this way."
Chairman Connell, of the . Portland
party; presented Mr. Moore, who said In
response that communities like Fairvlew
are the backbone of Portland. Very soon,
he declared. Fairview would be a suburb
of Portland. "What we want to see." he
remarked, "is 100,000 families within a
radius of 15 or 20 miles of Portland. We
feel that you residents of. Fairview are
our close neighbors."
View Troutdale Packing Plant.
A Btop of 20 minutes at Troutdale en
abled the visitors to inspect the plant of
the Union Meat Company, where a large
part of Portland's meat is slaughtered.
Half the visitors turned back, however,
at seeing the flow of blood, saying
"That's enough for me." They realized
that slaughtering Is an Important part of
the livestock industry, which Is one of the
chief assets of the Pacific Northwest. But
