of Testimony Chief Interest In
Trial Is Story of Orchard.
BOISE, Idaho, June 2. The work of
securing a Jury In the case of William D.
Haywood, charged with the murder of
ex-Governor Steunenberg, will be resumed
tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock, unless
the prisoner has a relapse. " Today Hay
wood is himself again. Although a little
drawn and pale as a result of the medi
cine and the opiates administered to re
lieve htm from the acute pain which he
suffered yesterday morning, he appeared
to be In his normal condition. He was
out early In front of the courthouse and
walked in the sun. afterward sitting with
members of his family among the pleasant
surroundings of well-kept lawns and rose
bushes fragrant with blossom.
Judge Fremont 'Wood has stated that he
Is determined a Jury shall be secured to
morrow If possible. Forty-four talesmen
remain of the venire of 1 summoned last
week. Only one more peremptory chal
lenge can be exercised and this lies with
the defense; the prosecution having ex
hausted its ten peremptory challenges on
Friday. This leaves two men to qualify,
if tha defense should see fit to exercise its
last challenge. That they will do -so Is
admitted by counsel, but it la not ex
pected that there will be much difficulty
in qualifying the two men out of the
talesmen yet to be examined.
State to Present Its Case.
Should this not be done within the regu
lar hours. It Is quite probable that Judge
Wood will hold a night session. With a
Jury secured before court adjourns to
morrow night, the case for the state will
be opened by James H. Hawley, leading
counsel, on Tuesday morning.
This, the first gun in the real engage
ment, will be a lengthy recital of the po
sition taken by the State of Idaho in the
effort to prove that Haywood, together
with Mover, Pettlbone, Simpklns and Or
chard, were responsible for the death of
Frank Steunenberg on the night of De
cember 30. 1905.
This opening address to the Jury will be
the first official outline of the case, which
the prosecution hopes to prove. Ever
since the arrest of the three men. Hay
wood, Moyer and Pettlbone, speculation
has been rife and innumerable statements,
more or less well-founded in fact, have
been published. It Is, however, true that
except in the most general way no author
itative statement has been given out.
Long Malt for the Story.
It is now nearly 16 months since Harry
Orchard, who by his own confession. It is
alleged, is the assassin of Governor Steun
enberg. made a sworn statement Impli
cating what Is called the "Inner circle" of
the Western Federation of Miners In the
plot to murder Steunenberg and In a
series of crimes extending over many
years of the history of labor and mining
troubles In Idaho. Within a few days
after Orchard made this statement, Moyer,
the president of the Western Federation
cf Miners; Haywood, the secretary and
treasurer of the organization, and Pettl
bone. a member, were arrested in Denver
on extradition warrants, and brought to
this state on a special train under circum
stances that have aroused much discus
sion since the arrest, and which have
been carried to the highest court in the
country in order that the rights of the.
prisoners might be preserved.
Intimation of what Orchard has stated
in his confession has come from one
source and another and from time to
time In the last year, but it may be
stated positively that very little is known
of the contents of the confession which
will figure, it Is stated, as the most sen
sational feature of the case against Hay
wood, the first of the prisoners charged
with the murder to be placed upon trial.
State Will Back Tp Orchard's Word.
It is believed that the state has in re
serve much to corroborate Orchard's tes
timony. Orchard will be a witness, but
counsel for tha state do not propose to
rely upon his evidence. Every point
bearing on Haywood's connection with
the actual murder of Steunenberg must,
the prosecution openly states, be corrobo
rated before they can hope to prove their
case.
In the work of securing this corrobora
tion the Pinkerton Detective Agency has
figured largely. It may be said that the
best men of their force have been en
gaged on It for the last twelve months.
Captain "Jim" McParland. famous as
the principal figure in many detective
stories of real life within the last 20
years, now In charge of the Western divi
sion of the Pinkerton Agency, has direct
ed the work. He now makes tha state
ment that he believes he has a complete
case.
On the other hand, the defense of Hay
wood, has been as busily at work as the
prosecution. Other scores of detectives
have followed every clew and every inti
mation of what, th Pinkerton Agency
was doing. A large amount of money,
estimated to be as much as $500,000, has
been subscribed by the members of the
Western Federation of Miners, an organi
zation with 75.000 members, and by other
labor organizations throughout the coun
try. Defense Denies Story in Toto.
The propaganda in behalf of the pris
oners, Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone, has
been widespread and active and much
sympathy has been aroused. Tha best
legal counsel has been secured In their
behalf and six lawyers are daily in court
actively conducting their case, whi?e two
or three others are in reserve. Counsel
for the defense claim that Orchard's im
plication of their clients was made out of
the whole cloth, and that the Western
Federation of Miners had nothing to do
with the Steunenberg assassination. It
is charged that what is known as the
Mine Owners Association, which has
fought the Western Federation for many
years,, is behind the effort to discredit
the officers of the federation, and further
that they will be able to disprove every
statement made by Orchard on the stand
and in his confession, which it is claimed
Is a fabrication built up to shield himself
and secure immunity from the conse
quences of his crime.
E. F. Richardson, a prominent attorney

TICKJST FOR RE-ELECTIOX
AS MAYOR.
of Denver, will open for the defense, but
It is understood that It has been agreed
that the case for the defense will not be
shown until after the case for the prose
cution is en in. It ' may therefore be
several weeks before Mr. Richardson de
livers his opening address. It is conceded
that the Introduction of . the evidence
for the state, and especially the testimony
of Orchard, will be contested at every
point. This will mean probably that the
state will not be able to conclude under
three weeks or possibly 80 days. The
case for the defense will take equally as
long. It may therefore be estimated that
the case will last 60 days after the
opening tomorrow if indeed, a Jury has
been secured by'that time.
Month Already Taken Hp.
Sixteen days of actual work have been
spent in the effort to secure a Jury.
Counting the adjournments the case has
now been going on one month. This work
of qualifying Jurymen has been tedious,
and remarkable chiefly on account of the
latitude permitted to counsel on both
sides In conducting their examination.
Nearly 200 talesmen have been examined,
the main difficulty being to secure a
resident of the county who has not
formed an opinion.
Fremont Wood, the presiding judge, is
trying his first important murder trial.
The charge has been made by the sup
porters of the prisoners that the state
did not intend to give the men a fair
trial, and it has evidently been the deter
mination of the judge to prove at the
outset that the utmost fairness must be
expected throughout the trial. In fact,
the details as to the life of the tales
men under examination, to which coun
sel for the state and defense has been
permitted to go without objection on the
part of the court, has been a matter of
comment. It has at least brought the
expressed conviction on every side that
if the case lb conducted throughout with
a similar impartiality no charge of un
fairness can be sustained.
Haywood's Impressive Personality.
Haywood, the first of the prisoners to
be tried on the charge of the murder of
Steunenberg, is a man of impressive
physical appearance. It was therefore a
matter of surprise when on Saturday it
was announced that the prisoner was too
ill to appear in court. The physicians
who were called In were at first alarmed.
Haywood was suffering great agony and
was at times in convulsions and uncon
scious. Opiates were administered to
gether with other .medicines and a fur
ther examination showed that there was
nothing serious the matter. Throughout
the case so far, Haywood has been a
close observer of every detail, and has
consulted with his counsel on every point
While a strong man, his surroundings
and the tedious progress of the case have
told upon the man's nervous system.
Since his arrest he has been accustomed
to take a great deal of exercise. For
the last three weeks he has failed to play
his customary game of quoits in the jail
yard or to walk on the lawn. At the
same time he has been a heavy eater and
the physicians say that the nerve strain
and failure to observe the ordinary rules
of health brought on a congestion, result
ing in Irritable headaches. The congestion
has now been relieved and It is thought
all cause for uneasiness has been re
moved. .
May Re-examine Jurors.
One of the possible delays after the Jury
box has been fllld is the Inclination on
the part of the counsel on both sides to
go very carefully over the record of the

SEATTLE, Wash., June 2. (Special.)
High railroad officials have the story from
New York that friends of President How
ard Elliott have organized to wrest the
control of the Northern Pacific and Bur
lington from James J. Hill. The most
recent announcement that Hill had de
cided to replace Elliott as president of the
Northern Pacific is said to be responsible
for the organization. Elliott was taken
from the Burlington at the suggestion of
George W. Perkins, of Morgan & Co.,
and his influence is reported to be in
volved in the anti-Hill move.
Ben Campbell's inexplicable resignation
as fourth vice-president of the Great
Northern, where he was receiving $30,000
a year to accept $25,000 t. year under Presi
dent C. S. Mellen, of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Is said to be a step in
a plan to place him with the Northern
Pacific if the anti-Hill scheme succeeds.
Mellen, who was forced out of the
Northern Pacific by Hill influences, is
said to have loaned his Influence in the
anti-Hill fight and Elliott's. . Boston
friends, who have supported Hill in the
past, are quoted as deserting him.
Dissatisfaction over the decline W
Northern Pacifies has helped Elliott, for
his friends claim the stock market . does
not reflect the showing he has made with
the road. It Is pointed out, too, that
Hill Is building Great Northern feeders
into Northern Pacific territory without
hindrance while he prevents Northern
Pacific expansion.
The story of an anti-Hill fight comes to
Seattle from two directions and Is credit
ed in the higher railroad circles.
BIG CROP JUNE WEDDINGS

Preachers, Cabbies and Florists

CHICAGO, June 2. (Special.) This was
an extremely busy day for preachers, cab
drivers and florists. The first crop of
June weddings was enormous.' Yesterday
the license clerks were swamped, 110
licenses being issued in the first two
hours. The average for the day was a
license every minute. New records would
have been established but for the fact
that it was only a half-day at the City
Hall, and the license bureau closed
promptly, inasmuch as there was a ball
game in town, and lots doing otherwise.
All of today cabs and automobiles hustled
up and down and around the streets, all
bearing, pretty girls in diaphanous gowns,
great quantities of roses, new suitcases
and all the Impedimenta of the newly
wedded. The outgoing trains also carried
their quota, while ministers and judges
found their salaries considerably aug
mented at the close of the day.
BALLOON HITBY LIGHTNING
Italian Army Captain Falls 700 Feet
Before Gaze of Crowd.
ROME, June 2. A tragic Incident took
place today during a review of the troops
by King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena. As a part of the maneuvers a
military balloon was sent up to a height
of 700 feet with Captain Uillvelll In the
car. A storm which had been coming up
burst suddenly and the thousands of
spectators were horrified to see a flash
of lightning strike the bag of the balloon.
There was an enormous burst of flame
and a terrific detonation and the col
lapsed balloon with its dangling car fell
to the earth, a mile from the scene of
the review.
Crowds of people, afoot and in automo
biles and other conveyances, rushed in
the direction where the balloon had fall
en. Captain UlllvelH was found alive,
but unconscious. He was placed in an
automobile and rushed to a hospital
where he died without regaining con
sciousness. King Victor Emmanuel and the mili
tary authorities went to the hospital after
the review to Inquire concerning the in
jured man.

One of the most dramatic municipal
campaigns in the history of Portland
closed last night in a frenzied whirl
wind of gambling. Never before has so
much money been wagered on the out
come of any political battle In Portland
as has been placed on the contest be
tween Mayor Harry Lane, the Demo
cratic candidate for Mayor, and Thomas
C. Devlin, the head of the Republican
ticket. Boys in their 'teens, prominent
business men, holding high political of
fice In state and city; old men touched
by the hoar-frost of fleeting time; pro
fessional gamblers and saloonkeepers
have bet their money with an abandon
simply amazing.
For a week past the cigar store of
Ed . Schiller, at Sixth and Washington
streets, has been the storm center. Dur
ing the early part of the week Just
passed, men imbued with the gambling
spirit flaunted their thousands In gold
and Mils before the eyes of the Lane
followers, and found but few takers.
The week passed to Friday, and then,
as If awakened from a lethargy, promi
nent business men whose opinion is
that Lane will be re-elected began to
pour their money into the betting ring.
After that there was a golden stream
pouring In until at 12 o'clock last night,
it is estimated, fully $50,000 had been
bet on the election.
Came on Like Brain Storm.
.At all times the Devlin money ruled
strong, but not often stronger than the
Lane coin. Just what stirred the gam
bling spirit of the hundreds who have
so recklessly bet their money on the
two candidates is a matter of conjec
ture. If tnere is anything In the brain
storm theory, it has made good among
the citizens of Portland. The way men
and boys have bet their hundreds, and
even thousands, on the election is ap
palling. To watch the eddying, sway
ing crowd that from early Friday morn
ing until 12 o'clock last night strug
gled like mad to get up its money was
an education In psychology.
Tonight, when the results are known,
many of those who can ill afford even
to lose a dollar, but who became filled
with the gambling spirit, will be sorely
hurt. Colonel R. E. Morse will be the
traveling companion of more than one
unhappy election gambler.
When the betting closed at Schiller's
Saturday night there was still $1035 of
Devlin money on the blackboard. When
the cigar store opened for business yes
terday morning men were waiting In line
to cover the money. By 10 o'clock all the
Devlin money had been covered by the
Lane enthusiasts. Then for a time It was
Lane's money that awaited takers. About
11 o'clock $2000 of Devlin money was post
ed and was absorbed like snow under a
Summer sun. Keeping always on even
stride was the Lane money, and all
through the day the tide ebbed and flowed.
Devlin Money Wiped Out.
At 8 o'clock In the evening the Devlin
money was swept off the board. A pool
of $1600 Lane money was then deposited
with Schiller. This money was said to
have been put up by W. G. McPherson,
Dr. Harry McKay, Governor George E.
Chamberlain. Max Fleischner and Fred
Miller. All but $6S5 of this money was
taken with a rush. Two small bets re
duced the sum to $5o5, and It remained
there until at 10 o'clock it was wiped out.
Even when this money was all gone
the wagering did not cease, for there was
a constant stream of $10, $30 and $50 bets,
and the money was covered so quickly
that It was not necessary to 'make the
blackboard announcement.
At 10:30 o'clock Fred Miller and the Mat
lock brothers deposited more Lane money.
Miller's last bet on Lane was $250, and
the Matiocks had a roll of bills big
enough to choke an elephant. Standing in
line with them were men who had Devlin
money.
While the betting was going madly on,
groups of men stood about the corner
talking politics. Dan Kellaher. defeated
In the primaries for the Republican nomi
nation for Mayor, was one of the inter
ested spectators, and did not mince mat
ters when it came to discussing the out
come. Alex Sweek, one of the Democratic
leaders, watched the betting, but did not
take any part in the discussion that was
going on about him. Ex-Detectives dis
missed from the police force by Mayor
Lane were out doing missionary work. In
fact, men in all walks of life talked poll-

MAYOR OF PORTLAND.

tics and expressed opinions on the out
come. Bet to a Standstill.,
For a time It looked as If there would
be no end of the Devlin coin, but finally,
during the last hour of the betting, there
was so much Lane money in sight that
the Devlin men were bet to a standstill.
When the betting ended at 11:20 o'clock
there was still over $200 Lane money not
taken, and John Cordano, who is In a pool
that has already wagered $4000, wanted
to post $50 more on Lane, but it was re
fused and he was told to come around in
the morning. Cordano said that he had
$10,000 more for the Lane pool.
When Schiller closed his books, the
figures showed that $38,263 had passed
over his counter In wagers. No checks
were taken, no matter who wanted to bet
then, and If the banks had been opened,
there is every reason to believe that the
amount of money bet on the result would
have reached the $75,000 mark.
Nothing like the betting on the Mayor
alty fight that will end today, has ever
been known In Oregon. Two years ago
when John Manning was running for
District Attorney and Tom Word for
Sheriff, $22,000 was bet on them and it
was thought at this time that the limit
had been reached. On Presidential elec
tions, as high as $10,000 or $15,000 has been
wagered, and in those times these
amounts were considered large.
Much Bet in Saloons. .
Taking all of the betting done at the
saloons and other places in the city, it
Is estimated that at least $10,000 more
must have been bet than was wagered at
Schiller's, not counting the money that
will be paid out for hats and suits of
clothes.
A man who usually takes a flyer on
election bets, but who has refrained from
betting on the Devlin-Lane contest is
Captain E. W. Spencer. Captain Spencer
Is well known as a plunger on elections.
It was usually a stand-off between him
and the late Frank C. Baker. In the
elections of 1904 and 1905 Captain Spencer
won a barrel of money, but' on today's
election, the story goes, he has not
wagered a cent. He does not consider
the matter a good betting proposition.
No end of $50 and $100 bets have been
made. The largest Devlin bet was $2500
and the largest Individual Lane bet was
$1600.
HEYBURN TALKS ON TARIFF

purpose. The term is so indefinite as to

schedules should be adjusted to the

WASHINGTON. June 2.-Specta!.)
Fairbanks formerly was the aspirant to
the Presidential office most feared by the
Roosevelt leaders. Fairbanks no longer
looms up so formidably and threatening
ly. Within the last few weeks the bot
tom seems to have dropped out of his
boom, especially in the North, while
down South the administration forces
have been getting a pretty good line on
the situation and are now fairly con
fident that the delegates will not be cap

marked extent.
There is very good authority for the
statement that If the candidacy of Mr.

render impossible the nomination of Fair

behind various anti-Roosevelt and favorite
son movements in Northern states has
depreciated the stock taken by politicians
in the Fairbanks boom.
Down South . the Fairbanks lieutenants
ran against an overwhelming Roosevelt
sentiment wherever they went, and they
proceeded to traffic in it. They bargained
for delegates on the ground that Roose
velt was not to be a candidate and that
Fairbanks was his natural legatee. This
Situation was discovered In time by the
Roosevelt leaders with the result. It is
now believed, that delegations pledged
to Roosevelt policies which cannot be
switched to Fairbanks will be secured in
most Instances.
The trouble with the whole Fairbanks
campaign now seems to have been Its
very early start, because It did not have
the substance back of it to stand the
tests of time the probing, Investigation
and exploitation of those who set about
examining It. The moral that might be
drawn from the Fairbanks campaign is
that it is not wise to play both ends of
a game several months before the time
of proposed consummation.
Pennsylvania for Knox.
More light will be shed on the situa
tion when the Pennsylvania Republican
state convention meets at Harrisburg this
week to declare, among other things, on
the Presidential question. Senator Knox
will be Indorsed as the choice of the
Keystone State, and recently President
Roosevelt has let it be understood that he
does not regard this prospective Indorse
ment of a favorite son as a hostile move
ment against his policies. . The conven
tion will pledge Itself to the Roosevelt
policies.
- Everything seems to be taking a most
favorable turn for the Taft candidacy,
and It will be under fine political auspices
that the Secretary of War undertakes his
Western trip the latter part of this week.
