morning- hour- Portland In a word
was as Purltitn a Old New England
under Its bluest of blue laws.
Five reckless saloonmen, believing;
the Manning mandate wa only a
"bluff" ope'ic.t ouse at the usual hour,
but after belnt summarily yanked Into
police headquarters and made to put
up cash ball of S0 each to appear this
morning, they began to realize that the
District Attorney hnd really been seri
ous In his order regarding Sunday
closing. 1
Saroonmfn as Jokesmitbs.
One would scarcely have known that
the city was closed had It not been
for the crowds ' that scrambled aboard
street-cars that led to cool oases be
yond the arid confine of Multnomah
County and for the ribald Jests the
stricken liquor' men had displayed in
writing, notifying the thirsty public
that they had felt the heavy hand of
the law. For lns'ance "Mysterious"
Billy Bmlth hung .rrepe on his door
and placarded It: "s-acred to the Mem-
, ory of Mai n:-g.'
"Billy" Win :er announced,. "We are
j not dead but . sleeping; we hope to
awake next Mondiy morning."
' A Washington-ntreet saloon dls-
played this caid "Nothing Doing; ask
I John."
Another announced: "A camel goes
eight daya wlthou: drinking, Be a
! Camel."
A score or more -f other liquor men
fin the business .district took the new
edict with similar good humor and
most of them declared they were glad
ithe barkeeper had a chance to "get
i day off "
Many Take Hoi te "Loads."
Early In the mornii g. it was appar
ent that something v as out of joint.
Wobbly Individuals by the score with
bottles of bear or wh.sky under their
arm or in the family market basket
with supplies for Sunday dinner, could
be seen careening along the streets in
vain endeavor to catch the first morn
ing cars for home. While accurate
figures are wanting, there is little
doubt that Portia?, passed into the
shadow of the BiJ-chnnalian eclipse
drenched to the skin so far as bibulous
souls were concerned. More than a
score of arrests were recorded during
the early morning llours and in each
case the merry wlrht who wore the
Jag said he was screwing up his cour
age for the "long 'y rpell."
Never In the c.tj history have the
saloons done the b isiness In the same
length of time that they transacted
during the late Wurs of Saturday
night. The) bottle trade was some
thing astounding ' One bar not far
from Seventh fJei Washington street
sold over I1S0 worth of bottled goods
between 19 o'e eck Saturday night and
closing time.
Wot Good! Marked Down.
To help the jKme along the pro
prietor announced that all "fifty cent
goods bad been narked down to 48
cents and ths tw bit goods to 24
OVER
TNOIH
cents " He provided himself with
several hundred pennies and every man
got his change back.
The family liquor stores were rushed
with orders as they never had been be
fore. Their "leaders" in the display
windows were largely made up of
choice brands of "booze," and the gro
cery stores which have licenses to sell
liquors filled record-breaking orders to
their regular customers.
There were more people on the
streets at 1 o'clock yesterday morning
than during a circus-parade at high
noon, and the gentry of unquenchable
thirst lingered within the palace walls
of rnm and rye unil the final tick of
the fateful hour of 1 In uncountable
numbers.
"We'll Hang John Manning "
Out of one drinking parlor there filed
In lockstep at least half a hundred
tipey wags who. In befitting celebra
tion of their last and lingering draught
from the fount of gin, had Improvised
to the tune of "John Brown's Body" tho
following:
"We'll hang John Manning to a sour apple
tree.
On, wa'U hens." etc.
At another corner Sixth and Wash
ington they maneuvered Into a
counter-march of booze-befuddled yeo
men, who added to the melodious lilt
of the former lay the following sad
refrain:
Oh. there are no calls for Scotch highballs
A In day of Auld Lang Syne.
And the two parties deployed and de
filed to the nearest point where the
cars stopped.
Situation Well Handled.
As for handling the situation yester
day, all city and county officials
seemed to be prepared for any emer
gency. Some trouble was expected and
the District Attorney's office and the
police department acted with firmness
and dispatch as soon as complaints
were received.
"Saddle Cop" Joe Keller had the
honor of bringing to book the first vio
lators of the cloBing law. C. W. Dllg,
Twenty-fourth and Nicolal, and A. E.
Lodell, Nineteenth and Vaughn, some
how conceived the Idea that Manning
was only Joking and they began doling
out liquor to all who came at about 8
o'clock In the morning. Keller rode
up and told them to close. The saloon
men smiled at him and asked htm'to
have a drink. A few minutes later they
were escorted to the police station and
allowed to deposit 350 cash ball, each,
for their law-breaking penchant.
"Ace" Welch Makes Record.
Depot Patrolman "Ace" Welch sat
down bard on hi corner of the lid by
grabbing three saloonmen In the North
End at 9:30 yesterday morning. The
offenders were C. S. Stephens, 833
Gllsan; B. Eschelbacher, 136 Sixth, N..
and T. J. Uhlman, 184 Tenth, N. They
also gave $50 ball each after being
warned that future violation would go
harder with them.
The most serious Infringement of the
law was In St Johns, where Lewis
Richards, selected " by the saloon
keepers of the town as the "fall guy,"
threw open his doors and with two bar
tenders, A. Bodal and S. B. Peny, began
serving famished pilgrims by the
dozen. The news that his place was
open was quickly noised abroad and
when Detective Maher, from District
Attornoy Manning's office, and Con
stable Lou Wagner arrived, about 90
customers were being served with
drinks. They stood a solid phalanx
four or five deep at the bar, and Rich
ards had taken In about 860 in the two
hours he had been running.
He didn't take Maher or Wagner
serlously'at first and the crowd "kid
ded" the officers mercilessly for a
while.
Arrests at St. Johns.
When Maher told Richards that he
and his bartenders were under arrest,
they began protesting that they had
Welnhard's brewery behind them and
wouldn't stand for any "butting in
from Manning." The officers drove the
crowd out of the saloon and Richards
was booked and forced to put up 850
FEW OPEN FOR SINGLE HOUR.
When the hour for reopening the
saloons arrived at 12 o'clock last
night, less than 60 per cent of the
drinking places opened their doors.
Even In the North End. where some
thing of a commotion was expected,
there wa no unusual stir, the street
being practically deserted before. 11
o'clock. There were only a few
traggler in that district, and they
had assembled either at Erlckson'
or Blaster's, where they were enter
tained with moving pictures until
the hour of thtrst-quenchlng. The
crowd was not large and was orderly.
bail, as the violators In the city had
done.
These men, Mr. Manning announced
last night, would have a clance to
learn their standing under the law
within a very few days.
"I shall tile Information against all of
them in the Circuit Court this morning,"
Mr. Manning added, "and I hope their
lawyers will file demurrers against tha
complaints so that the legal question in
volved may be brought to an issue at
once. I hope that tfie test of the state
law under which I am acting will be made
not later than Wednesday or Thursday of
this week."
Social Clubs at Sea.
As a result of a misunderstanding by
the police of District Attorney Manning's
orders, the various social clubs really
didn't know "where they were at." Late
Saturday afternoon, they were informed
that they must not sell or dispose of
liquor in ny way whatever on Sunday,
and this edict was passed around among
the members. This applied to the Arling
ton. Concordia, Commercial- and Uni
versity clubs and the E5ks. The clubs
raised a protest and the result was that
another order rescinding the former edict
was issued. All the elubs mentioned were
open, but to members only. In explana
tion of this confusion of orders. Chief
witzmacner said last night:
"I understood Mr. Manning to say that
every place where intoxicating liquors
were sold or disposed of in any way was
to be closed. Of course this would Include

BITTERLY ASSAILS PRESIDENT
On Righteous Rich . Depends
Nation's Salvation.
FAIRBANKS IS THE MOSES
Bryan Too Apt Pupil of "Big Stick,"
and Is Therefore Out of the Run-
ning Friend of the Trusts
Only Sane Candidate.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16. (Spe
cial.) Chancellor James R. Day of
Spracuse University, has broken forth
again t.nd this time calls President
Roosevelt a "wild engine," still ram
pant and dangerous, and refers in al
most endearing terms to Messrs,
Rockefeller, Archbold, Harrlman, Hill
and Morgan. Chancellor Day has been
intervlwed by a representative of the
Philadelphia North American, who ap
parently caught tho famed educator
in a "blue funk," or something equally
serious.
Just how pessimistic Dr. Day was
can be imagined by his unequivocal
declaration that our country is run
ning down hill and that only such men
as the head of the oil and steel corpor
ations can be looked to to preserve it.
"Before the death of John Hay,
President Roosevelt was comparative
ly safe and sane," commented Chan
cellor Day, "because he allowed him
self, to be guided in a large measure
by that truly great stateman. Since
then he has been a wild engine you
know what a wild engine is "
Fairbanks Only Sane Man.
With this for a starter. Chancellor
Day proceeded to dissect things Gov
ernmental and economic and .. to
"knock" pugnaciously such institu
tions as the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and similar bodies, which he
called "smelling" and "rampant." In
cidentally he fell into the doldrums
over the outlok, but finally brightened
up in talking of the Standard Oil Com
pany "a great business," "fair and
honorable" and of Vice-President
Fairbanks, whom he regards as the
safest man for President. Of course,
all of the so-called trusts are held up
to admiration and the railroad re
bate excused if not praised.
The Syracuse Chancellor surprised his
Interviewer by saying that some time
ago he had hailed Mr. Bryan as the
man who would lead the Nation to
better things, but the Nebraskan's
utterance in favor of Government
ownership of railroads had thoroughly
put him out of the runninng. Now Dr.
Day thinks Charles Warren Fairbanks
is the right man for President.
Bryan in Roosevelt's Class.
"Mr. Bryan has put himself into the
same class with Mr. Roosevelt, and
neither of them, nor any like them
will save us from the entanglements
ahead. We . cannot escape these en
tanglements as long as we are ruled
by a President who rides roughshod
over the Constitution and appropriates
to himself powers that are not his, and
were never intended to be attributes
of his executive office. We cannot es
cape terrible consequences as long as
anarchism, clothed with official author
ity, seeks to undermine the most val
uable elements of our citizenship. We
cannot be led by an impulsive man,
who takes no thought as to possible
or probable consequences, and expect
to arrive at anything but disaster."

ST. LOUIS OH, SB
PARCHED THROATS FORCED TO
WAIT 29 HOURS.
Dramshops Closed Tight Over Sun
day Until 5 o'clock Monday Ex
odus to Out-of-Town Resorts.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 16. (Special.)
The dryness of St. Louis reached the top
limit today with Excise Commissioner
Mulvihlll's order closing the saloons from
Saturday midnight to 6 o'clock Monday
morning in -compliance with the require
ments of the new n dramshop law which
went into effect today. The lid in St
Louis is no pretense; it is an accom
plished fact. There are cities In which
great stress is laid on Sunday closing,
wlfcre the extent of law enforced stops
at closing the front doors and pulling
down the front window curtains, but In
this city the lid is on in real earnest for
24 hours each Sunday, from midnight to
midnight.
The enforcement of the Sunday law has
been vigorous and effective from Chain
of Rocks to the River des Peres and
from the Father of Waters to Wellston,
at the city limits, but no further. i
There is a limit to all things, and Well-
ston is the limit to the Sunday thirst of
St. Louis. This fact has gained wide
circulation among the thirsty habitues of
the metropolis.
Thirst parlors are numerous In Well
ston and they employ extra and expert
barkeepers on Sunday to supply the de
mand. All carlines leading to Wellston
did .an enormous business during the 29
hour dry Bpell in St. Louis and the
streets of Well6ton today presented the
appearance of a street fair.
Across the river in East St. Louis the
lid has disappeared entirely, the only
restriction being that the saloonkeepers
am reaulred to keep their front doors
closed on Sunday. Thousands of thirst
parched St. Louisans, who did not go to
Wellston or the various resorts in St.
Louis County, hied them across the big
bridge to the Illinois ctty. This weekly
pilgrimage of the thirsty thousands has
been conservatively estimated to cost St.
Louis $500 per day for the extra five
dollars.

Has Strong Case in
Haywood Trial.
MANY WITNESSES ARE READY
Prosecution Not s Likely to
Close This Week.
FALSE STORIES SENT OUT
Numerous Unfavorable Rumors Are
Spread, It Is Said to Bolster
Up Friends " ot Defense State
Keeps Its Plans to Itself.
.BOISE, Idaho, June 16. There Is no
ground for tho apprehension felt by
some persons yesterday respecting the
case of the state in the Haywood trial.
The . announcement that the state
would finish the Introduction of its
testimony on Wednesday was at the i
bottom of the feeling, as it had been
supposed the introduction of corrobo
rative testimony would continue much
longer. The state was asked to name
a time when it would be through, and
it had to make a statement in order
that the defense might get its wit
nesses here, but there is no probabil
ity that it wlll be through Wednes
day. ,
There are many witnesses in cor
roboration yet to go on and some of
these will be among the strongest.
Further, the redirect examination of
Orchard may come this week, though
that is not settled. If he goes on re
direct the state's case will scarcely be
concluded this week.
State Keeps Own Counsel.
The prosecution is keeping its plans
to itself as -closely as possible and
numerous witnesses will go on the
stand whose names have not been men
tioned. There U no doubt that a great
maiiy people fail to catch the theory of
the case and what it Is necessary for
the state to prove. It has to prove tha
conspiracy and the connection of Hay
wood therewith; It does not have to
connect Haywood more directly with
the murder of Steunenberg, as so many
seem to think. One In a position to
know made the statement today to the
writer that if Haywod had not Joined
with Moyer and Pettlbone in sending
Orchard on this mission his responsi
bility would be as great, since the
conspiracy will be even more fully
proved and Haywood will be connect
ed with so many points that his re
sponsibility would attach even had
Orchard not stated that the defendant
was in the conferences held with the
latter .
The man Max Malloh, of Denver, who
Orchard testified wished him to blow up
a boarding house full of nonunion men
at Globevllle, a suburb of Denver, Is
anxious to come here to testify for the
defense. The state is rather anxious that
the defense shall get him and put him on
the stand.
Many Rumors Are Canards.
There have been many stories circu
lated, apparently by the defense. One of
these is that the state had to send away
30 witnesses because they would not
testify to what was expected. Careful
investigation proved the story utterly un
founded. The witnesses have come for
ward far more generally than had been
hoped for, and several have turned up
during the progress of the case who were
not known of before. There has been
only one disappointment, and that is of
minor importance. In at least one case
the state has declined preferred testi
mony because of , the sacrifice the wit
nesses would have to make in giving it.
Another story is that the defense has
at least two men on the jury who will
stand out. There is no reason to believe
there is foundation for that story. It is
believed the defense has been circulat
ing all these statements solely for the
purpose of bolstering up their own people.
POSTPONE ORCHARD'S CASE
Perfunctory Court Order to Be Gone
Through With at Caldwell.
BOISE, Idaho, June 16. While the trial
of William D. Haywood, charged with
consul racy to secure the murder of Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg. - stands sus
pended for a day, Harry Orchard, the
chief witness In the case, will be taken to
Caldwell in Canyon county, where the
case against him for the actual murder
of Steunenberg will be called and post
poned until the next term of court. Judge
Fremont Wood, who is presiding in the
Haywood case, will hold court in Canyon
county tomorrow, acting for Judge Bryan
who is disqualified in the Orchard case
because his partner is or was counsel for
Orchard at the time of his arrest.
Orchard will be taken to Caldwell on the
local train leaving here at 7 o'clock) to
morrow morning. He will be in charge
of Warden Whitney of the Idaho peniten
tiary and a force of guards.
The adjournment of his case will be a
perfunctory matter, not taking more than
a few minutes. The prisoner will at
once be brought back to Boise.
Resume Trial Tuesday Morning.
The Haywood trial will be resumed at
9:30 on Tuesday morning when the state
will continue the introduction of evidence
in support of the Orchard story and en
deavor further to link the defendant with
the conspiracy- to-murder Bteunenberg, a
POSTO
outlined by Orchard in hi confession. So
far the evidence ha been corroborative
of Orchard's story of his many crimes in
major and minor detail. The direct con
nection of Haywood has yet to come out
in evidence. Certain evidence has linked
him with Adams, whom Orchard says
was his partner in a number of crimes.
Documentary evidence has shown Hay
wood's connection with Jack Slmpkins.
but as Slmpkins was a member of the
executive board of the Western Federa
tion of Miners, of which Hayweod is still
the secretary and treasurer, counsel for
the defense claim that the drafts were
drawn In the regular course of tho fed
eration business and that the production
of drafts from Haywood to Slmpkins
have no connection with a conspiracy,
being, in fact, on the records of the fed
eration. Slmpkins Is named in the document
with Haywood, Moyer and Pettlbone, but
he has not been arrested. One of the
drafts in his favor was drawn after the
murder of Steunenberg. The state has
shown by some witnesses that Slmpkins
was with Orchard in Caldwell prior to
but not at the time of the murder. The
last draft produced in evidence and iden
tified by the cashier of the Denver bank,
was drawn in January. 1906. It was "in
dorsed by Slmpkins" wife and paid to her
by a bank In Spokane. Steunenberg was
killed on. December 30, 1905. ' The draft
In favor of Slmpkins was drawn prior
to the time Orchard made his confes
sion and about three weeks before Hay
wood was arrested In Denver. It is
rumored that the whereabouts of Simp
kins is known and that he will be pro
duced as a witness at the proper time.
Counsel for the defense and prosecution
do not confirm the report.
State May Rest Case This Week.
It is probable that the case, in direct,
for the state will rest by the end of this
week. Counsel say that it will take at
least until Friday next to conclude.
Adams may be called to the stand in a
Ck-A days, but thi3 13 not certain. A
strong effort will be made to get Adams'
repudiated confession before the Jury, and
it will, of course, be fought vigorously by
the defense. Lawyers who know the his
tory of the prosecution of Adams and his
confession express doubt as to the pos-
ibility of getting the confession.
On Tuesday the state will offer in evi
dence copies of certain printed articles
over Haywood's signature showing the
language used by the defendant against
Steunenberg when the former governor
was running for office. The decision of
the Supreme Court of Colorado, naving
to do with the eight-hour bill which Hay
wood was supporting, and which was de
clared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court when Judge Goddard was oh the
henrh. will be offered in evidence.
Orchard swore that he was employed to
kill Judge Goddard and Judge tjaDDert oi
tne Supreme Court ana mat no am at
tempt to kill them. Evidence In further
corroboration of Orchard's story of his
ntte.mnts of the life of Fred Bradley or
San Francisco will be introduced , this
week. contradict by Alibi.

The witnesses, it is understood, will be
chiefly in contradiction or orcnaro Dy

or Mover or Pettlbone and even of
Orchard himself.
Both sides were busy all day toaay in
preparation for the continuance of the
struggle. Haywood was visited at the

and Orchard was brought from the peni

There may be a contest of the will of

Jury's Verdict in land
Fraud Cases.
END OF HARD-FOUGHT TRIAL
Lewiston Bankers Convicted
of Conspiracy.
JURY OUT FOR 34 HOURS
Court Officials Had Given Tp Hope
of Agreement and the Men Were
Locked Cp for the Night Ver.
diet at 8:45 Last Night.
MOSCOW, Idaho, June 16. (Special.)
The Jury In the North Idaho land
conspiracy cases returned a verdict of
guilty on two of the five counts of the
indictment, the defendants and co-conspirators,
George H. Kester, William
Dwyer and William F. Kettenbach, be
ing acquitted on the three remaining
counts. The Jury reached the verdict
at 8:46, after the court officials had
given up hope for the night.
J. W. Robinson, the sick Juror, was
carried into court on a cot attended by
a trained nurse, bis head being wrapped '
in bandages and his form covered with
blankets. After polling the Jury, Judge
Dietrich examined the verdict and
ordered the clerk to read it. The de
fendants were acquitted on counts one,
two and five and found guilty on
counts three and four.
Jury Was Out 34 Hours.
Count three is known as the Corey
Indictment, and four as Guy L. Wilson
count, thoy acting with the defendants,
each filing on a quarter section of tim
ber land in 1904, for which they re
ceived approximately S5 an acre.
The prosecution regards the verdict
as a signal victory which paves the
way for the prosecution of similar cases
which will be tried at the- Fall term
of the Federal Court.
The Jury was discharged, but ordered
to report at 8:30 to-morrow morning.
It 1 said notice of appeal to the United
States Court ot Appeals will soon be
filed by attorneys for the defense.
The Jury was in consultation a few
minutes less than 34 hours, having gone
out at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. At
8 o'clock tonight no verdiot had been
reached and the 12 men were again
locked up for the night, with little pros
pect at that hour, of a verdict before
tomorrow morning. In a few minutes,
however, a verdict was reached, and
Judge Deltrlch at once notified.
Dramatic Close of Long Case. '
The dramatic close of the case was
marked by the remarkable rally of 3. W.
Robinson, the aged Juror, whose illness
caused an interruption in the trial last
week. Propped up on a cot and cared
for by a trained nurse, he was more com
fortable than his fellow Jurors, who sat
in a gloomy Jury room without material
comfort.
All day the Jury remained In Its room
talking quietly, evidently carefully
weighing evidence. Report has it that
the Jury for hours stood nine for convic
tion and three for acquittal.
The defense was confluent of acquittal,
but a mistrial would not bave displeased
them, as they believed a second trial
would result in a speedy acquittal. The
prosecution were said to have a mass of
new evidence which would have been in
troduced. In the closing long-drawn-out legal
battle, each side exhausted, every mean
of introducing testimony having a bearing
on the case, and now that a verdict of
guilty has been reached, it means a hard
fight on the part of the Lewiston Na
tional Bank officials to escape sentence
on McNeil's Island.
