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 (Conohtdod. An Page 4- SAYS ROOSEVELT IS Syracuse Chancellor Breaks Out Again. 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."

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. CONTENTS TODAY'S PAPER Tha Weather.

SITE CONFIDENT OF ITS II 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. n't...

The witnesses, it is understood, will be chiefly in contradiction or orcnaro Dy alibi as to the whereabouts of Haywood 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 vtAM hv hi, relatives and counsel and Orchard was brought from the peni tentiary to Mr. Hawiey s omce ouriug mo afternoon.

Mrs. Simon Da Freche, of New Or leans, Wants a Share of the Millionaire's Money. NEW YORK, June 17 (Special.) There may be a contest of the will of James Henry Smith, after all. A local paper this morning says: "A claim for 18,500,000 from the es tate of the late James Henry Smith, based upon an amazing story of a hidden chapter in his life.

A mar riage license, a wedding certificate, a record of the daughter's christening and many letters and photographs which Mrs. Du Freche' father sent to her mother from England, whither he went after leaving her, are in her pos session. Three lawyers of prominence and high reputation have been re tained in Mrs. Du Freche's behalf. Ellen Cargen died about 1890."

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.
