TAMPERING WITH POLICE Ine Officer Loses Star County At torney Finds No Contempt In Or chard Interviews Progress In Securing the Jurors. BOISE. Idaho, May 18. Special.) Mrs. yv. D. Haywood did not appear In the court room this morning at the trial of her husband. She has been a pathetic figure In her chair during the trial and her face has reflected weariness. There has seemed something strained about It all, and a report now reaches Boise from Denver that she did not desire to under go this ordeal. At first she declared she would not make the trip, but was later persuaded to make the effort. To those who know something of the life of the man on trial, this Is not wondered at, and a statement credited to her in con nection with her early refusal to come, to the effect that she had suffered enough, does not cause surprise. When she was asked about her husband the night of his arrest In Denver, she stated he had gone to a Russian bath, but he had then been captured in another place. Better Progress With Jury. ! Today only two talesmen were ex cused for cause, while four passed the examination. That Is a larger propor tion of mfn passing than on any former day. M. H. Goodwin gave the lawyers a puzzle when he was sum moned. He admitted a bias, but his explanations of his position were of such a character that the court over ruled a challenge by the defense. At the next opportunity the defense ex cused him peremptorily In a manner that was rather suggestive. Induce Soldiers to Desert. The commanding officer at the bar racks Is complaining that his men are being induced to desert. A dozen have disappeared in a week, two going last night. An investigation discloses that they are taken In hand when in town by persons who appear to be sym pathizers with the defense, and the officers think they are furnished with money with which to make their escape. Complaint was made to the Chief of Police today and it is hoped the thing can be checked. There have been charges of med dling with policemen and men em ployed by the state, and generally the atmosphere Is filled with rumors of underhand methods of that character. One policeman lost his star last night, th6 charge being that he was too familiar with agents of the defense. In fact, his name had been given by a trusted agent as one who was working for the defense. NO CONTEMPT WAS IXTEXDED -County Attorney Exonerates All Con. cerned in Orchard Interviews. BOISE. Ida., May 18. Prosecuting At torney Koelsch has completed his investi gation of the circumstances under which Harry Orchard, principal witness for the state in the Steunenberg murder case, was Interviewed, and today presented the District Court with a report exonerat ing from the charge of improper mo tives all persons connected with the In cident. He found that the only motive that the newspaper men had in inter viewing Orchard was to obtain news of him. In announcing the report. Judge Wood said that It called for no action Dreams about a Quiet lime. and directed that it be filed. The re port is in part as follows: I of course investigated the matter with the ' view solely of determining whether there had been any infraction of our penal laws or contempt upon the court. I take it for granted that with the question of the propriety or taste of the Dublications under consideration I have nothing to do, at least not in an orncial way. In order to come wltnin the purview of our statute defining and punishing Improper attempts to influence a Juror or person summoned as ' a Juror, such attempt must have been made in tentionally and corruptly and, if so done, it is a felony. A publication during the course of a trial which reflects upon the court or assails the litigants or seeks to intimidate witnesses or spreads before the Jury an opinion upon the merits of the controversy or threatens them with pub lic odium Or attempts to dictate their decision or In any improper way en deavors to Influence their determination, is a contempt of court. Simply Published as News. I am able to report that my investiga tion of the matter entirely disproves that any improper motive actuated any one connected with the publications under consideration. It was published purely as a matter of news, which the correspond ents had been eager to get for a long time, but had been denied the oppor tunity of getting. When this opportunity was finally given to them, they seized It with avidity and with no thought other than that it would be a front page, scarehead matter. This was natural. Orchard, the chief actor In the tragedy that was perpetrated In the jnurder of iliii Inane Stephenson, New United State Senator From Wiscon sin. Ex-Governor Steunenberg, being denied to all newspapermen for months. No one had heard anything authoritative about him. He became mysterious. Speculation concerning him was indulged in. Stories of his physical and mental breakdown circulated and found their way into the press. Any wonder that newspaper cor respondents should wish to see and in terview him? Any wonder that news papers should overlook the impropriety of publishing such Interviews at tills time? The. Associated Press men and others oecame so insistent to see mm that their request was finally granted. I am able to state and do state tnat tnis privilege was granted them solely because of their repeated request the slow yielding to their persistency. It never even entered into the minds of those who sranted this privilege that there could be anything improper in their action and no improper motive actuated them. . No Improper Motives. I want 'to emphasize that my Investiga tions absolutely disprove any improper motives on the part of anyone who per mitted these interviews. That the other statements contained in the publications under consideration were not made at this particular time with any improper intent is also further evidenced by the fact that various statements have re peatedly and for a long time prior thereto appeared in tne puDiic press. During the investigation my attention was directed to the fact that for a rang time a certain paper had devoted itself almost exclusively to publishing matter tendine to discredit persons likely to be called as witnesses in the pending case and. when I answered that two wrongs could never make one . right that the fact that others had not been punisneo for contempt was not a defense, I was assured by Dotn tne statesman ana oy the Capital News and by each corres pondent of outside papers circulating in Ada County whom I was able to inter view that they would gladly obey and abide by such rules as your honor might lay down forbidding any publication that would In the slightest degree tend to obstruct the proceedings of this court or anything in the nature of an opinion as to the merits of the cause on trial. I therefore recommend that your honor make and promulgate an order along these lines- as stringent as the law will permit and I promise to make every effort within my power and authority toward a rigid enforcement of same and to bring before the proper court every in fraction of same, regardless of who the offender shall be. " Using of Challenges. Progress toward the completion of a Jury to try William D. Haywood is being made by-expending the peremp tory challenges allotted by- law to state and defense, if by no other means. Up to adjournment this afternoon the state had consumed 'five of its 10 and the defense four of its 10 challenges, so that there remain unexpended 11 challenges.

Ji w$w$ y WHAT THE PORTLAND YOUNG MAN, WITH SUMMER'S APPROACH, DREAMS ABOUT, AND WHAT HE IS REALLY DOING Actually Dodging Obstructed Street MS SOLITUDE; HNDSNEW WORLD Marvels Strike Recluse of Forty Years. MONK'SFIRSTSIGHTOFCHICAGO Eyes Dazed by Progress, Ears Struck by Din. BUT HE WILL TELL NOTHING Father Andrew Sees Elevated Rail roads,. Modern Steamships, Sky scraper's, Automobiles for First Time, Then Re-enters Ceil. CHICAGO, May 18. (Special.) Brother Andrew, a monk from the Trappist abbey, known as the New Melleray Mon astery, in Iowa, today landed in Chicago and lived 40 years in a' few hours. It was like stepping Into another world. For the first time In 40 years the aged man stepped from the strict seclusion of the monastery walls into the bright glare of public activities. He was dazed and bewildered by the transformation, and longs again for the silence and se clusion of the abbey. He is here on a five days' leave of' absence to attend the burial of his sister, Mrs. Catherine Sheehan. . When on Monday the doors of the abbey once more Inclose Father Andrew in the mystery of silence which has been maintained for nearly a thousand years by members of his order throughout the world, he will have within his memory a whirlwind of images of a world en tirely different from the one he re nounced in his young manhood. But not one . of those Images will find utterance if the monk keeps his vows. Sees Wonders, Hears Awful Din. Among the things Brother Andrew has never seen until today are: - ' Elevated railroads; modern steam ships; big buildings, or which 4he Ma sonic Temple and the Great Northern Hotel are among the earliest examples; automobile trucks, carrying as great a load as can be drawn by six horses; the interior of sleeping cars, electric lights In each section; roller-lift bridges. On the moment of Brother Andrew's arrival in the city his nerves, schooled to sympathy with the slightest sound, were assailed by a pandemonium of noises. Hideous screechings, the hang ings of car trucks across switches and through it all the great roar of traffic rose about him and clamored louder and louder, and all the days and nights he has been In the city this thunder of a human surf has never ceased. It passes all other wonders to the man of solitude, and brings to him a longing for the noises of the abbey bell at New Melleray, ringing across fertile acres where even the insects seem still. Expresses No Surprise. But whether it be the din or the trains running in air which make the din, or whether the great buildings, shooting higher even than the chapel tower at New Melleray,' no one but .this simple minded monk will ever know which most impressed him. Upon his mind, attuned by years of thought to sympathy, with great things and deeds, the magnitude of the most astonishing city in the world has burst without eliciting a feeling of surprise or any comment at all. Words with him are reserved for those crises in human emotion where their use may preserve life itself. Brother Andrew is 71 years old, and from the time, when at the age of 31, he entered the monastery,! he has never been farther than Dubuque, the town nearest the monastery. Of the growth of the Nation since the Civil War he knows little. No newspaper has ever passed the abbey gates in 40 years. No news is worthy of the notice.'of the silent brother hood, save only that of -great disasters. The Iroquois fire, the San Francisco earthquake and that at Jamaica were Getting the Same Old New announced in the chapeL Thereafter SO monks used of their scanty store of words the prayers for the dead.

CAREFUL WATCH OYER INFANT Spain Guards Against Receiv ing Changeling. PROCESSION OF GRANDEES Representatives of Pope and Great Sovereigns Attend Service in the Chapel Prince Is Called Al fonso and Nine Other Names. MADRID, May 18. Alfonso. Prince of the Asturias, was baptized at noon today In .the private chapel of the royal palace in the presence of the royal family, the state and court offi cials, the representatives of the for eign powers and a host of grandees. The Pope was represented by Cardinal Rlnaldlnl; King Edward by Prince Ar thur of Connaught; Emperor William by Prince Leopold of Hohenzollern; Emperor Francis Joseph by Archduke Eugene of Austria, and King Charles of Portugal by the Duke of Oporto. The people began gathering before noon and at that hour the reception halls were filled, while outside were large and enthusiastic crowds. Watch Against Changeling. The greatest watchfulness had been observed over the young Prince since the hour of his birth. Special guards have been stationed outside the bed chamber, for Spanish custom does not permit any possibility of a changling being foisted on the nation. The task of the watchers was not over till this morning, when the Infant became the r central figure of the brilliant -scene. In the chapel, seats were allotted ac cording to precedence to the person ages invited. In the center was a has sock, on which had been arranged the famous baptismal font of Santo Do mingo de Ouzman, brought from the monastery' of Santo Domingo. Before the high altar were two benches cov ered with gold-embroidered tapestries for the sponsors, while another was placed behind the lecturn for the offi ciating cardinal. In the Queen's ante chamber were exposed on seven golden salvers the ewers of holy water and other appurtenances of the eacred rite. In this ante-chamber, when the guests had assembled, the King, ac companied by the ' members of the royal family, the representative of the Pope, the sponsors and the royal child, entered the apartment. Then, with slow steps, the brilliantly arrayed com pany began Its march along the gal leries. Stately Procession to Chapel. The way to the chapel was led by two mace-bearers, followed by gentle men of the chamber and chamberlains. After them came two more mace-bearers, two klngs-at-arms, the grandees of Spain, two more klngs-at-arms and seven more gentlemen of the chamber, bearing the golden salvers with the holy water and other necessaries for the rite. Immediately afterward followed the royal babe, in its nurse's arms, accom panied by the mistress of the robes and escorted on the right by Cardinal Rln aldlnl and the other godfather. His Royal Highness Don Carlos de Bourbon, and on the left by the godmother. Queen Maria Christina, and His Majesty, Alfonso XIIL Then came the Lord High Chamberlain and the other Lords Chamberlain, various functionaries, the members of the royal family and the Queen's ladles in waiting. Next came the representatives of for eign powers, most of the 'Ambassadors and Ministers to the court of Spain, in cluding the American Minister, Mr. Col lier, with their wives, accompanied by the introducer of the Ambassadors, and That Awful First of the Month. BABY PR1NG 1 GHRIST AN followed by the Cabinet, all with their wives. Great Functionaries of Spain. The great functionaries came next, the principal personages noted being the Marquis del Campo, president of the Su preme Court of Judicature; Don Marciano Catallna y Cobo, president of the Com mercial Tribune; Lieutenant-General Don Polaiev, president of the Supreme Coun cil of the Army and Navy; the Queen's physicians; the Mayor of Madrid, with the deputation of Municipal Councillors; two canons of the Madrid diocese and the palace attendants, the rear being brought up by the musicians of the hal berdiers and a detachment of the same corps. At the entrance of the royal chapel the King was greeted by the superior clergy and the choristers, 'who preceded the cor tege up the aisle. When all had reached their allotted places, the halberdiers faced the walls of the edifice, the mace bearers took up their positions at the doors and the four kings-at-arms stood one at each angle of the hassock, on which the font had been placed in posi tion. Child Given Ten Names. The ceremony of giving the names to the royal child was only of short dura- r - . i. -of Mrs. Howard Gould, Who Sues for Divorce. tlon. He was christened ' Alfonso Plo Christino Eduardo Francisco Guellermo Carlos Enrique Fernande Antonio. , Immediately after the rite had been performed the nurse took her seat, with the baby, surrounded by the mistresses of the robes and the sponsors, and Car dinal Sancho officiated at a "Te Deum" of rejoicing. In which the brilliant or chestra of the royal chapel assisted. Then, the usual prayers over, the pro cession formed in the same order in which It had entered, passing again into the reception halls, where King Alfonso, surrounded by the members of the royal family and foreign princes, shook hands with most of those present. The newly named child was in the meanwhile taken back to the apartments of Queen Vic toria. Thanksgiving Service In London. LONDON, May 18.

SAYS HE HAS ABANDONED HER Legal Battle Will Be Over Ali mony Question. GOULD RESISTS DEMANDS Allows $5000 a Month, but Shi Wants Amount Doubled Buffalo Bill Says Gould Sought Evi dence Against Ills Wife. NEW YORK, May IS. (Special.) Dif ferences of long standing between Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gould culminated today in the service of a summons and complaint In suit begun by Mrs. Gould In the Su preme Court for a limited divorce. CJar ence J. Shearn la Mrs. Gould's attorney. De Lancey NIcoll, as Mr. Gould's repre sentative, accepted service of the papers. Mrs. Gould seeks a decree of separation on the ground of abandonment, and does not make any sensational allegations In her complaint. Will Be Fight for Alimony. It is probable that the main legal con test will be on the question of alimony. Since Mr. Gould has lived apart from his wife he has given her $50000 a month for her maintenance. She asserts that this sum Is inadequate, and that her hus band's income la sufficient to Justify him in paying her twice as much. It is said that members of the Gould family held a council to discuss the question whether Howard Gould should pay her $120,000 or even $100,000 a year and that their decision was that her demands were excessive. In the litigation the first move will prob ably be a motion for alimony and counsel fees and, unless some agreement is reached In the meantime, this application will be sent to a referee, who will deter mine how much should be paid pending the final adjudication of the case. Buffalo Bill Turns on Gould. Selden Bacon, counsel for Colonel William F. Cody, has returned to New York from New Haven to lay before Po lice Commissioner Bingham the facts con cerning the effort of detectives to induce Colonel Cody to give testimony derogatory to Mrs. Gould. The detectives told Colonel Cody, so the latter says, that he would be paid from $10,000 to $25,000, If he would tell of events In Mrs. Gould's life. The Implication was that the story Colonel Cody would be required to tell would re flect discredit upon Mrs. Gould. HAS LQSTCarnRQLDF ZlDFJ VOLIVA DEPOSED AS SUCCESSOR OF BOWIE.
