lina. MADRH, May 10. The direct maV
succession to the throne of Spain was as
sured by the birth today of a son to
Queen Victoria. The news thrilled the
country and tonight the happy event Is
being celebrated from Gibraltar to the
Pyrenees. Queen Victoria and her .son
are both doing well.
It has been determined that the bap
tism shall occur Tuesday noon. In court
circles It Is desired to name the baby
Carlos, but the matter of his appellation
has not yet been definitely decided.
The hurried departure of royal messen
gers from the palace at 10 o'clock this
morning to summon courtiers and the
members of the diplomatic corps gave the
first Indication that the birth was immi
nent. The usual gathering outside the
palace was soon swelled by Immense
throngs, which watched the brilliantly
uniformed personages drive up to the
royal residence. The crowd waited in
suspense until nearly 1 o'clock, when the
thunder of the first canon-shot signified
that the royal accouchment was over.
Cannon Heralds the Boy.
The reports were counted anxiously un
til the fifteenth, and then a complete
silence ensued. The seconds appeared as
hours until the sixteenth shot boomed
and the continuation until 21 informed
the public that the royal child was a son.
The sixteenth report brought forth a
ringing cheer, and at the same time the
Toyal standard was hoisted over the pal
ace. The people danced with Joy and
embraced each other, shouting:
"Long live the King! Long live the
Queen!'"
The flags of Spain and Great Britain
were raised over all the public buildings
of Madrid. Many business houses closed
for the remainder of the day.
Child Presented to Dignitaries.
In the meantime the solemn ceremony
of presentation was being carried out In
side the palace. The mistress of robes,
carrying a huge silver tray, upon which
was lying the newly-born royal baby,
accompanied by King Alfonso and Pre
mier Maura, appeared In the ante-chamber,
where the courtiers had assembled.
The young monarch appeared full of Joy
as the Premier, raising the drapery which
covered the infant on tne silver tray,
said:
"Gentlemen, it Is a prlncw.""
The solemn dignitaries thereupon forgot
all etiquette ana cheered both the King
and the Queen. The Minister of Justice,
Marquis Ftgueroa, made out the birth
certificate, which was signed by all pres
ent. The gathering then broke up.
King Alfonso telegraphed the good
news to the Pope, King Edward and the
heads of other states, and later the con
gratulatlons began to come in.
- Queen Will Be Real Mother.
The accouchment was In every way
normal and the Queen Is making satis
factory progress. Her majesty purposes
herself to nourish the Infant prince, who
shows signs of utmost vitality. He has
a strong voice, blue eyes and a face com
plexloned Hko his mother's. The Queen
was the first to kiss the baby, and she
was followed by the two grandmothers.
Princess Beatrice of Battenberg and
Maria. Christina, the dowager Queen of
Spain.
Decrees were Issued tonight ordering a
national holiday throughout Spain for
Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The Cab
inet later presented to King Alfonso for
his: signature decrees . transferring the
title of heir presumptive from Prince
Charles of Bourbon to the new-born
Prince. King Alfonso today. In honor of
the event, decreed the pardon of thou
sands of prisoners. Including eight per
sons who were condemned to death.
Capital Taken by Surprise.
The happy event took the capital some
what by surprise, for only yesterday af
ternoon the Queen had taken her cus
tomary drive, and the court -physician
had Intimated that another two weeks
would pa89 before confinement. It was
learned from the palace authorities that
the' Queen had been taken with the first
pains of. childbirth during the night.
Messengers were hastily dispatched to
the Prime Minister and other chief court
dignitaries.
Through the early morning Ministers
and big functionaries arrived at the court
of the palace.
Meantime word - was received by the
waiting throngs that the Queen was pro
gressing well. The doctors pronounced
her condition normal and satisfactory.
King Alfonso remained at Queen Victo
ria's bedside.
Grandees Called to Palace.
At S o'clock this morning the King can
celed the meeting of the Council of Min
isters which was to have considered cur
rent state affairs. .
By 10 o'clock the hlgh functionaries of
the state and capital, with many Am
bassadors and Ministers in their court
costumes had reached the palace. At
noon this assemblage of the nobility and
power of Spain was grouped in the royal
apartments ' set aside for official cere
monies, awaiting with feelings of pro
found emotion the announcement of the
birth of the heir.
The birth of the babe occurred at 12:46
P. M. The announcement was" immediate
ly conveyed to the waiting officials- and
crowds outside the palace, who received
"the glad tidings with mingled feelings and
enthusiasm and emotion.
Ceremony Attending Event.
In no monarchical country in the world
is the ceremonial observed at the birth
of the first offspring of the King and
Queen so rigidly stately and formal as in
Spain: and on this occasion, so significant
for the Bourbon dynasty, when an heir to
the throne was so anxiously awaited,
nothing was omitted from the courtly
etiquette.
From the moment when Queen Victoria
was officially announced to be apprehend
ing the period of maternity the most care
ful surveillance was exercised over her.
In order that the hopes of the country
should not run any risk of being blighted.
"Several months before her accouche
ment, according to Spanish royal custom,
the Queen took up her .resldenoe at the
palace in Madrid to await the anxious
moment. Thence, accompanied by the
King, she has undertaken from time to
time pilgrimages to various holy shrines
to pray for a safe deliverance, in the same
way as the humblest Spanish woman.
For quite month preceding the aus
picious event, members of the proud
Spanish nobility have been In constant
attendance at 'the palace as a precaution
against the unwelcome surprise of a pre
mature birth, while the members of the
royal family have taken up their resi
dence either in the palace Itself or near
at hand in the capital.
Gorgeous Array of Uniforms.
"When at length Dr. Glendenning, the
young English doctor who attended the
Queen, announced that the birth was a
matter of only a few hours, urgent mes
sages were sent to the Premier, Senor
Maura, and his colleagues of the Cabinet,
the Military Governor of Madrid, the
members of the diplomatic corps, the
grandees, the knights of the principal
orders of chivalry, the leading military
and civil authorities and all the ladles and
gentlemen attached to the court.
Soon all the officials -were gathered in
full uniform and wearing the glittering In
signia of their decorations, in the grand
reception-room gorgeously draped with
tapestry, adjoining the royal private
apartments, among those present being
the American Minister, Mr. Collier. There,
in suppressed excitement and hushed ex
pectancy, they waited until their atten
tion was attracted by a movement of the
heavy curtain at the end of the apart
ments and the opening of the door lead
ing from the royal rooms.
Presented on Silver Tray.
The formal announcement of the birth
of the Infant was made by the Camarara
Mayor, Mistress of the Robes, to Pre
mier Maura, who formally communicated
the fact to the distinguished company in
the words:
"Gentlemen, it is a prince."
The news was greeted with the greatest

BUTTE, Mont, May 10. Patrol Driver
Charles Jackson tonight shot and killed
Harry Cole, while the latter was at
tempting to escape, and an angry mob of
2000, led by brothers of Cole, made an
ineffectual attempt to lynch Detective
Charles McGarvey, the crowd laboring
under the impression that It was that
officer who had done the shooting.
Cole had been arrested by McGarvey on
a forgery charge and was suspected of
being one of the bandits who several
days ago held up the North Coast Lim
ited train at Welch's Spur, murdering
Frank Clow, the engineer, and wounding
Thomas Sullivan, the fireman. Cole is a
brother of George Cole, who Is now serv
ing a? sentence in the Deer Lodge Penl
tenitary for the robbery of the Burling
ton Flyer near this city two years ago.
George Cole confessed to holding up the
train and was sent to prison for 14 years.
His brother Harry has been under sur
veillance by officers since the holdup of
the North Coast Limited and this even
ing was taken Into custody by the officers.
Cole Flees and Is Shot Dead.
While he was being sweated in the of
fice of the police station. Cole, it is said,
defiantly declared that he knew all about
the holdup of the limited, and made a
dash for the door, which he reached, and
ran down an alley leading from the po
lice station. An officer started for Cole,
but trippepd over the threshold of the
door and measured his length on the
floor. McGarvey followed and tripped
over the prostrate form of the policeman
and he, too, went to the floor. Jackson,
who at this point had entered the room
upon hearing the commotion, saw that
Cole was about to make his escape,
quickly drew his revolver and fired on
him, hitting the fleeing man In the back
and killing him almost in his tracks.
Mob Howls for Vengeance.
An Immense crowd gathered and, the
Impression gaining ground that McGarvey
tad killed an Innocent drunk, a cry went
up to hang McGarvey. Timothy Cole,
another brother of the dead man, an-i a
cousin took the leadership of the mob.
and, with more than 2000 men at his
back, hastened to the County Jail, where
they thought McGarvey was hiding, and
attempted to force their way through the
line of officers guarding the Jail with
drawn guns. Inside the jail were more
officers, armed with Winchester rifle?.
The mob secured a rope from a derrick
used in the construction of a building
nearby and the shout was made to down
the officers. At this point Deputy Sheriff
Jack Wyman stopped the leaders of the
mob and told them that McGarvey had
left the jail and that they were welcome
to search the building. This was done,
no trace of the detective being found.
Cole's Brother Inflames Mob.
Mounting the steps in front of the
Courthouse, Timothy Cole made an im
passioned exhortation to the crowd to
avenge the death of his brother, who,
he declared, had been shot by McGarvey
In cold blood. As the dead man had
worked In the mines and many of the
miners knew him personally, there were
loud cries of approval with shouts of
"Hang him to a pole!" and "Shoot him!"
Cole addressed the mob until he became
so hoarse he could talk barely in a
whisper, and, telling the mob to follow
made his way to the police station with

the rapidly augmenting crowd following
him until It had reached at. least 5000
In number, the mob packing the streets
for two blocks about the station.
Police Withstand Mob.
Drawn guns of the officers prevented
.the mob from searching the police sta
tion, and the crowd then made its way
to the gun store of Carl Engle on West
Park street, and despite the attempt of
the police to guard the store forced its
way into the place and secured a num
ber of shotguns, but apparently thus far
have been unable to locate the ammuni
tion in the store.
The mob leaders declare they will nave
the life of the slayer of Cole, and If an
attempt Is made to raid the city or
county Jail blood will be spilled, judging
from the temper of the officers.
Cole, it is stated, had also been sus
pected of robbing the trunk of his room
mate of two checks, which. It la alleged,
he cashed, and the officers wanted him on
this account.
Police Arrest Leaders.
Thepolice restored quiet at about 11
o'clock tonight after they had succeeded
In arresting Timothy Cole, the leader of
the mob, and a youth named Flynn. who
carried the rope; a man who gave his
name as Sullivan and a cousin of Cole.
These were held in the police station un
til the mob, lacking a leader, dispersed,
when the four were permitted to .go to
their homes upon their promise to behave
themselves.
Cole, the man killed by Jackson, has
figured in police circles for some time and
has been suspected of complicity in sev
eral crimes. At the time of the murder
of Officer Fleishman Cole was arrested
on suspicion of being the murderer.
Another Uprising Feared.
. Fully 10,000 persons. viewed the body of
Cole this evening and for a time It was
thought the police would have t? put a
stop to the morbid curiosity of the crowd,
as angry imprecations against the offi
cers were heard on all sides and another
uprising; was feared, people being in ig
norance of the true facts of the killing
and their passions giving way to the dis
torted stories which started the mob
earlier In the evening.
Dynamite Smashes Windows.
A big dynamite explosion on a vacant
lot in the lower part of the city late
tonight shattered window-panes for a
number of blocks around and precipitated
a panic among the residents of the neigh
borhood. According to the police, a
atchel containing 20 sticks of dynamite
was exploded, apparently a ruse by
leaders of a mob to draw the attention
of the police to the scene, when a charge
would be made on the, police station in
the hope of getting the slayer of Cole.
The explosion of the dynamite tore a
large hole In the ground. '
The police tonight are looking for half
a dozen men reported to have been walk
lng down street armed .'t rifles. '.The
crowd smashed In one of the windows of
the militia armory.
ORDERED TO BEAR WITNESS
UNITED RAILROAD OFFICIALS
CANNOT ESCAPE.
Judge Coffey Sustains Heney No
Immunity Legal, Though Guar
anteed Guilty Supervisors.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 10. After lis
tening all afternoon to arguments and
the reading of affidavits,' Presiding Judge
Coffey made a ruling tonight In favor of
the prosecution of the trolley graft In
vestigation. Judge Coffey ordered that
William M. Abbott, assistant general
counsel, and George B. Willicutt, secre
tary of the United Railroads, should ap
pear .before the grand Jury and take
oath as witnesses, and that Francis and
McDermitt, the stenographers, should
answer certain questions. The force of
the order was modified by the declara
tion that the order was without preju
dice as against the rights of the wit
nesses to refuse to testify under statu
tory privileges.
Two sensational circumstances were
developed during the day's proceedings
one in the admission of Assistant District
Attorney Heney that the District Attor
ney has no right to guarantee immunity
from punishment to any criminal; the
other the charge that the self-confessed
dribe-takirig Supervisors were guaran
teed immunity by the District Attorney
and that the agreement is held in escrow
by Rudolph Spreckels as a "big stick"
over their heads. Heney's admission and
the facts of the affidavit being true, tha
logical effect might be the immediate in
dictment or arrest of the Supervisors.

HEPPNER, Or.. May 10. (Staff Corre
spondence.) After viewing the dry lands
of the Umatilla Irrigation district and be
holding the fast growing towns of Echo,
Hermiston, Umatilla, and Irrigon, the
Portland men came to this city late this
evening, where they were warmly greeted.
Heppner men are directing the attention
of the visitors to the coal beds 21 miles
south, where they say Portland could get
fuel at J5 or J6 a ton. If the O. R. A N.
would afford transportation. Imported
ccal in Heppner costs $11, while the
local coal would cost only t3. The samples
of the local coal led the visitors to the
opinion that the mines should be de
veloped. George Conser, president of he
coal company, is seeking Portland aid for
transportation.
At a meeting with Heppner citizens to
night, speeches were made by Mayor
Frank Gilliam and S. K. Notson. presi
dent of the Heppner Commercial Club; F.
EL Beech, H. M. Cake, Tom Richardson,
of Portland; Addison Bennett, of Irrigon,
and Senator Fulton.
Return Home Sunday Morning.
The party will reach Portland Sunday
morning at i:S0 o'clock Saturday It will
visit Condon, Arlington, Biggs, Wasco,
Moro, Grass Valley and Shanlko. Today
was spent in Umatilla and Morrow coun
ties. At Echo the Portland men got a
view of the irrigation work of the Gov
ernment and of private irrigation compa
nies, near this point. The canals of the
Government work and of the Furnsh
Company draw water from the Umatilla
River to reclaim nearly 30,000 acres. Con
siderable work already has been done on
the canals and the visitors were greatly
interested.
An enthusiastic welcome was In store
for them. Mayor L. A. Estab was Intro
duced by J. F. Shelton, secretary of the
Commercial Club, and made a winning
address of welcome. F. B. Beach and
Senator Fulton responded. As an adorn
ment to the occasion 100 school children of
Echo marched up and were addressed by
W. A, Williams and H. M. Cake, of Port
land. See Big Irrigation Projects.
A talk full of information was deliv--ered
by Oliver P. Morton, attorney for
the Government Reclamation Service. He
said that 18,000 acres would be watered by
the Government project within four or
five years, and that the fertility of the
soil is immeasurable. He declared the
Umatilla district would be one of the best
garden spots west of the Missouri River.
The land now produces only sagebrush.
At Echo the Portlanders received a
delegation of citizens from the next town,
Hermiston, who accompanied them to
that place. They were: S. R. Oldaker,
S. H. Skinner, H. G. Newport and George
W. Wotering. Equally lively was the re
ception at Hermiston." This is the central
point of the Government project, where
the engineers have their headquarters and
where material for the project Is unloaded
from the railroad. Samples of alfalfa
were given to the visitors as souvenirs.
Speeches of welcome were made by F. H.
Bartlett and A. A. Lathrop, and responses
by F. B. Beach, Senator Fulton and C. S.
Jackson. Hermiston has a population of
300 and is growing fast. It is less than
a year old.
Umatilla, the next station, 187 miles
from Portland, has some 300 people, and,

like Hermiston and Echo, is thriving on
Irrigation projects, Umatilla is on the
edge of the Government project and is the
center of the project of the D. C.
Brownell Ditch Company for reclaiming
1550 acres. Mr. Brownell gave to J. K.
Gill for the' party a box of strawberries
Just as the train pulled away toward
Irrigon.
When the train entered Irrigon, the
most conspicuous object was a large
sign "If any man attempts to make
a speech, shoot him on the spot."
Strangely, Mr. Beach did not see the
sign, and started in to make a speech
telling tire people of Irrigon how glad
the party was to see them. A din of
voices drowned out his words, and
there were loud shouts "shoot him,"
and to carry out tha mandate of the
sign, somebody leveled a gun at Mr.
Beach, who thereupon perceived tha
sign and the Joke together. But he
was brave enough to claim the protec
tion of the American flag and to thank
the Irrigon people for their kindness;
so did Tom Richardson.
Editor Bennett Omnipresent.
The people had made preparations
for the visit by assembling nearly 100
school children at the depot, most of
them carrying flags. They presented
bouquets of wild flowers to the visitors,
each bouquet marked with the 'name
of the giver. During a large part of
the 15 minutes' stay the children sang
a song especially composed for the oc
casion, and each Portlander received
a printed copy of the song. As the
train pulled away they shouted, "Come
again when you kin; Irrigon, Oregon."
The reception bore the marks of Ed
itor Bennett's methods of the Irrigon
Irrigator. The Irrigon reception was
the warmest of the whole tour.
On the way to Heppner stops wers
made at lone and Lexington. At lone
the school children marched to tht
depot and T. J. Mahoney made an ad
dress of welcome, to which Senator
Fulton and Sam Connell responded.
At Lexington the visitors Inspected
a new creamery, drank buttermilk and
were addressed by Rev. E. R. Beach.
A reception committee greeted the
visitors at Pendleton this morning, and
conducted them to the Commercial1
Club, accompanied by the music of the
Eagles' band. There they were wel
comed by John McCourt, City Attorney,
and W. R. Ellis, Representative in Con
gress. Responses were made by F. E.
Beach, chairman of the party for the
day, and H. M. Cake. Just before the
Portlanders left Pendleton a dust storm
blew up which turned to a brief rain
at Hermiston. Several Pendleton res
idents accompanied the party to the
tlmatilla Irrigation district. among
them T. C. Taylor and C. E. Roosevelt.

SIEVE ADAMS TO
GO ON THE STAND
Wife Also Witness in
Haywood Trial.
IMPORTANT TO STATE'S CASE
Mrs. Harry Orchard Is Another
on List to Testify.
BOISE FEELS LESS UNEASY
Many Reports Stir City, but Strain
Is Relieved Story That Mover
Has Served at Joiict Peniten
tiary Emphatically Denied.
BOISE. Idaho, May 10. (Special.)
The announcement that Steve Adams
and his wife are both on the list of
witnesses for the state In the Haywood
trial has aroused a great deal of Inter
est among those who understand the
circumstances. When Adams Rave his
confession, which he afterwards re
pudiated, he was very specific about
a great many matters. Afterward Mrs.
Adams made a statement, which veri
fied her husband's in a remarkable
manner.
The two together made an Important
addition to the case of the state. Mrs.
Adams contended that she knew of a
great many of the matters of which
her husband testified; she was pres
ent at many conferences and gave de
tails that her husband had overlooked.
It was a long time before she consent
ed to make a statement, but when she
did so it was of the greatest Impor
tance. When Adams was Induced to
go back on his statement. It was un
derstood his wife followed his exam
ple. As will ; be recalled, when he
sought to escape from the reach of the
state, the latter had him arrested on
the charge of murdering Fred Tyler
on the St. Joe River In 1904.
Adams Center of" Interest.
For that crime Adams was tried at
Wallace last February, the Jury falling to
agree. It stood seven to five for acquit
tal. The public has wondered what
Adams would do with that case hanging
over him. He seemed to hope for ac
quittal, but the state made such a show
ing agalr.se . him, notwithstanding certain
handicaps, that it left him in an awkward
position. Until the time he sought to
slip away there was no charge against
him anywhere, and there would not have
been if he had stood pat.
Consequently it has been thought he
might- change his mind once more.
When Adams made his confession It
was taken in four parts. One of these
was used In the trial at Wallace. What
the others contain the public does not
know, but it is understood they cover a
wide range. What he has been called
for no one knows, but his appearance on
the stand will be filled with so many
possibilities that It Is interesting to know
hes to testify.
Mrs. Orchard on List.
The wife of Harry Orchard Is also to
be a witness, another circumstance that
arouses much attention. She is on the
list under another name. Mrs. Orchard Is
said to be a superior woman and It is
thought she knows a great many things
about her husband's career.
Sheriff Hodgln today appointed seven
more deputies to serve during the trial.
These will be about the courtroom and
wherever else they may be needed. No
list of witnesses for the defense has yo
been filed.
STRAIN IS GREATLY RELIEVED
Relaxation In City After Intense
Feelins.
BOISE. Idaho. May 10. There is notice
able evidence of relaxation In the atmos
phere of Boise today. Notwithstanding an
outward appearance of apathy and lack
of interest in the case, there has existed
for some time in Boise an extremely tense
feeling. Reports as to what might hap
pen, either before the trial opened or dur
ing its progress, have tended to create a
very decided feeling of uneasiness. The
presence in the city of a number of pri
vate detectives employed by both sides
and the outspoken attacks by the radical
element of the Socialists necessarily
brought put many rumors and reports
purporting to come from authentio
sources of 'probable trouble, such as an
attack on the Jail or an attempt to spirit
away some of the chief witnesses for tha
prosecution.
The proceedings in the courtroom yes
terday did much to dissipate this. There
waa a spirit of give-and-take. A Joke
from one or another of counsel or a laugh
caused by the answer of a talesman acted
as safety valves, and before the day was
over the strain was relieved and every
one breathed easier.
