Grand Jury Work Not Ended. Discussing the adjournment of the grand Jury until June 10, one of the chief officers of the prosecution said; "It does not mean that the grand jury has concluded the work of investigating and indicting. It means simply that right of way is required for a week or two for the trial of Mayor Schmitz. When the grand Jury meets again next month, It will resume, among other . things, its scrutiny of the affairs of the Home Tele phone Company in connection with the franchise it obtained from the Board of Supervisors to operate in competition with the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company. Before the grand Jury finally completes its labors, every charge that has been brought by the bribery graft prosecution whether against corporations, public officials or private persons, will have been fully and formally sustained. I do not care to use any plainer lan guage." Rudolph Spreckels said: "The prosecution is more than satisfied. The evidence in our possession is a thou sand times stronger than we knew."

MAY LIVE SEVERAL HOURS . But Watchers Fear Mrs. McKinley May Die Any Moment. CANTON. O., May 25. That Mrs. Mc Kinley is falling into a deep sleep seemed evident at 11 o'clock tonight. How long the spark of life will last before its final flutter is a question which the attending physicians will not undertake to answer. That they think, however, that her vitality and the ac'tloHbr concentrated nourishment and of stimulants may keep her alive ten hours or more is indicated by the scheduled conference of Drs. Portmann, Eyman and Rixey for 10 o'clock Sun day. Against this hope, however, is set the statement that dissolution may oc cur at any time and a careful vigil is kept for indications of the end. Mrs. McKinley continues unconscious. The following official bulletin was issued at 9:16 o'clock tonight: "The doctors report that Mrs. Mc Kinley continues unconscious and slowly losing strength, although stim ulants and concentrated nourishment have been administered freely.

The last named ar rived from Washington with Justice Day today. Message From Eva Booth. Among the devoted friends of Mrs. McKinley is Commander Eva Booth, of the Salvation Army. April 9 the Canton Citadel of the Salvation Army was ded icated. Mrs. McKinley was a liberal donor to it, and Miss Booth called at the McKinley home. As a testimony of her friendship for Mrs. McKinley the following- message was received: "Just heard of your dread condition. In the shadows His face will light your way as the waters rise. His everlasting arms upon you. My tenderest love and deepest appreciation of all that you have been to my work. Evangeline Booth." Takes Less Nourishment. Shortly after 11 o'clock the following bulletin was issued at ' the McKinley home by Drs. Porteman, Eyman ' and Rlxey. "The doctors report Mrs. McKinley1 condition is less favorable. She takes less nourishment, and what Is taken by mouth is administered with increasing difficulty. She does not suffer pain, and seems to rest as comportably as possible. The hoped-for Improvements can scarcely be expected.' It is said, however, that there are no I MOVED TO SELECT AN Hasn't Read the X papers. Indications of immediate dissolution. At 2:30 P. M.

CANTON, O., May 25. At 4 o'clock Dr. Portman left the McKinley residence for his home. He did so because of the illness of his own daughter.

ACCEPTS JUROR'S CHALLENGE Scruples About Capital Pun ishment Are Met. SURPRISE FOR DEFENSE Tonrtellotte Denies Right to Take Life Except In War and Against Anar chists When Conditions Ac cepted, Tries to Escape. BOISE, Idaho, May 25. (Special.) For the first time the real gage oi battle was thrown into the ring today in the Haywood murder case, the pros ecution announcing as plainly as though it had been in a carefully formu lated statement, that it intends to prove a great conspiracy, which em braced the taking of human life and in pursuance of which a great num ber of lives have been taken. It came out In a remarkable way. J. E. Tourtelotte, a talesman, was being examined by Senator Borah and stated he was opposed to capital pun ishment. The Senator asked him a few questions which elicited the infor mation that Mr. Tourtelotte would make an exception in the case of a traitor in time of war or in case of a man who was a party to a murder commltten in pursuance of the policy of an organization having the destruc tion of society for its object. He men tioned anarchists and stated he would hang them if they sacrificed life. Ready to Prove Anarchy. After1 a brief examination Mr. Borah passed the witness up to the defense. to the amazement of the latter and of almost everybody else, but there was a look upon the face of the attorney which plainly said to every spectator: "His exception as to anarchists covers this case. We shall prove to Ms satisfaction that the case has to do with such a society." Mr. D arrow asked in a tone of in credulity: "Do you pass this Juror for cause?" and Mr. Borah replied affirm atively, his manner plainly indicating what was In his mind, and everybody re alized the challenge had been flung full In the face of the defense, and that the great battle was officially joined. Mr. Darrow questioned the talesman some what, and finally said his sentiments suited the defense.- Then he asked whether the Juror had a thought in his mind to the effect that the defendant might belong to such an organization as he had indicated. Mr. Tourtelotte said: Defense Accepts Challenge. "Well, since you have mentioned it, I can see how that might be true." Though that clinched his position, the defense passed him for cause, and every body knew the challenge had been ac cepted. It was dramatic throughout. Though the juror seemed to be anxious to get off, he walked right into a posi tion that suited the state exactly, and though he plainly had in mind that Hay wood might be shown to have been in a conspiracy to commit murder wholesale in an effort to coerce society, the de fense accepted him. Just what was In the mind of Mr. Darrow can only be surmised, but it is rather assumed he thought be was getting a man who would not stand for a capital verdict, or ho intended to Indicate that the defense was prepared to destroy any proofs the state might have to the effect that Haywood was a party to any such programme of murder as the juror indicated as con stituting an exception to his views of capital punishment. Tries to Escape, but Cannot. After the, noon recess, the situation was emphasised by a voluntary act of Mr. Tourtelotte. He addressed the Judge, saying he was not qualified to sit on the jury, as he was opposed to capital pun ishment. Judge Wood passed the matter up to the attorneys. Then, over the op position of Mr. Darrow, Mr. Borah was permitted to propound some, more ques tions to him for the purpose of determin EITHER MAYOR SCHMITZ OR HAYWOOD Believes Brainstorm Is . Believes the Prisoner Hasn't Discussed the Has Formed Ne Op In- Doesnt Know Any of Legal Defense. Should Always Have . Case. ioa After Reading the the Parties in the Case, the Benefit of the Newspapers. Doubt. ing whether the juror had been properly understood on his direct examination. Mr. ' Tourtelotte . then emphasized what be had said, and the Juror was left in the box. The laws of this state provide that a man shall not be required to serve on a Jury in a capital case if he has con scientious scruples against capital pun ishment It has been suggested that Mr. Tourtelotte may take advantage of that and refuse to take the oath. But It is pointed out that he has him self made an exception and therefore cannot claim immunity from service. Lawyers on both aides state the matter is in such shape that the seating of the juror cannot be construed as error. Mr, Tourtelotte is a well-known and popular man. He is a member of the Methodist church and is regarded as entirely upright in purpose. Must Call More Farmers. Better progress was made today. Three peremptory challenges were ex ercised, one by the state and two by the defense, leaving two each. There remain 12 of the panel of talesmen called into court Thursday. It Is con sidered probable that these will be ex hausted Monday, unless still better progress be made in getting men who can qualify. If that proves true, it will necessitate an adjournment, as it has been shown about useless to se cure Jurymen in town they all have opinions that let them off under chal lenge. To go into the country and get the necessary number will require at least a full day. TWO MORE JURORS SECURED Only Four Challenges Remain, hut Another Venire Is Needed. BOISE, Idaho, May 26. Both sides found a paystreak of qualification in the second section of the special venire of Jurors for the Haywood trial, and beside" J. E. Tourtelotte, two other talesmen qualified.

CROWD CHARGED BY ANGRY TIGER Beast Breaks From Cage at Twin Falls. SINKS FANGS IN CHILD'S NECK Keepers Powerless to Check Its Wild Career. BULLET FINALLY ENDS IT Maddened Animal, After Breaking Door, Slays Girl and Pony and Sends Circus Spectators Flee ing In All Directions. TWIN FALLS, Idaho. May 25. (Spe cial.) During the afternoon performance of the Sells-Floto Circus in Twin Falls today, a huge Bengal tiger broke from his cage in the menagerie tent and charged into the crowd, killing a 4-year-old girl, a Shetland pony and mauling several other spectators and ponies before It was shot and killed by a man in the audience. For a few moments a panio was threatened in the menagerie. Women screamed and fainted, the elephants tuggged at their chains and trumpeted wildly and there was great commotion until the tiger rolled over dead In front of the main entrance. "Markel," the tiger, and his mate, "Ag nes," had been restless for some time before the accident. They were about to be fed, and at the sight of the meat, "Markel" beat furiously with his paws on the door of the cage. The door gave way and the tiger sprang from his cage to the neck of a Shetland, pony 16 feet away. The animal's keeper seized an iron bar and struck the tiger between the eyes. Beast Leaps Into Crowd. "Markel" released his. grip-on- 4he pony's neck and leaped upon the back of . another pony. Again the keeper felled him with the iron, and he re-' llnquished his hold of the second pony, only to seize a third. Another stiff blow from the iron drove the tiger from hla prey and he leaped into the crowd. The tent was well filled and the people fled in every direction, most of them crowding out under the canvas. One woman scrambled to the top of an animal cage and refused to come down until long after the tiger was killed. Shrill trumpetlngs from the frightened elephants aroused the keep ers to renewed activity. The guns kept by the keepers for emergencies were 75 feet away, and had they been available they could not have been used on account of the danger to spec tators. Women grasped their children and dragged them from the path of the maddened tiger. Hundreds of little children clung to the skirts of their terrified mothers, and "Markel" headed for the main entrance, 40 feet away. In his rush he struck several people with his shoulders, knocking them down. Iiittle Girl Its Prey. Mrs. S. E. Rozell, of Twin Falls, and her little daughter, Ruth, could not escape the tiger's rush and were borne to the ground. The tiger held Mrs. Rozell with his paws while his fangs sank into the neck of the child. J. W. Bell, a Twin Falls blacksmith, was standing beside Mrs. Rozell when she was at tacked. His wife and children were with him and at the mercy of the beast. Thrusting his family aside Bell drew a 82-callber revolver and opened fire on the tiger at a distance of three feet. When the first bullet struck "Markel" behind the shoulder he winced and opened his Jaws, growling viciously and lashing his tall against the wall of spectators. The second bullet caused him to release Mrs. Rozell and her daughter from the grasp of his paws and the third put him on the run. Bell, followed heroically firing three more bullets Into the fleeing tiger as it ran outside the tent. "Markel" was sorely hit but he man aged -to crawl some distance before he collapsed. Recovering his strength for an instant, the tiger turned and started back toward . the spectators. Bell was (Concluded on Page 14.) SJ 5 .
