FAIR TRIAL WAS DENIED Alleged In IMea That DiMrlct Attor ney Appeared Before Grand Jury Vrffing Indictments and Gave So- Cbanc-e- for Discussion. KOLSK. Idaho, March 14. Special.) United States District Judge Whltson, of Spokane, who last Fall sat in place of District JudRp LVItrich In the p'roceed incs in connection with the indictments against John I. Wells, Frank Martin. ' and others, returned by the Federal KTHnd jury here, has rendered a decision sustaining the second of two pleas in abatement filed and arjfued before him by the defendants. This is the plea in whirh District Attorney Ruick was . charged with misconduct before the grnnd Jury that returned the indictments. The other pteas filed by specific de ffndants. one claiming that (he statute of limitations barred prosecution and the other that Immunity was procured -because of testimony given by defendants before the Brand jury, are overruled. The effect'of the ruling- is to throw all of the cases reuniting from the grand jury in- vpstlfcBttnn of March 1907, relative to al- lec'J timber frauds, out of court. The defendants wer John I. Wells, Patrick Downs. John Klnkaid, Louis M. Prltchard. William Sweet, Albert E. ' Palmar. Horace" S. Rand. Frank Martin, J:inies T. Barber and Summer G. Moon. ' Senator Borah was Indicted with these, hut stood trial, and was acquitted. The averments in the second plea in which the defendants said they have been denied a fair and impartial in vest igntion of the charge against them were briefly that the District Attor ney, after all evidence had been sub mitted while the Jurors were deliber- ' rttlnif. before any vote was taken, went before the body without request and made a lengthy argument on the suffl ctencv of the evidence; gave his opinion thereon, and urged the finding of the indictments; that he told the jurors the responsibility of such action would rest upon him alone; that lie tola the Jury repeatedly that in asking , for the Indictment? against the par ticular defendants he was acting under specific instructions from the Depart ment at Washington; . that all dlscus- was prevented and that jurors who asked permission to make statements wero denied that privilege. It was also charged that afterward, when in dictments were voted, the District At torney refused to leave the room when one juror requested hfm to do so (that juror wishing to propose a reconsidera tion of the vote), but directed the fore man of the jury to sign the indictment at on-e. It was charged that the in dictment was never read to the jury and that the Instrument was actually signed and returned without the mem ber? of the grand jury knowing its contents or the names of the persons Indicted.

Rurwell, commandant of the Navy Yard, Puget Sound, to the effect that the protected cruisers Milwaukee and St. Ijouts have been ordered here to be placed in reserve.

Many of the drills of routine life aboard a warship in active service will be dis pensed with, but the vessels will be held In readiness to go to sea on 24 hours' notice.

REFUSES TO PRAISE RUEF Methods of Calkins Syndicate Are Brought to Light Praise of Pres ident Roosevelt Suppressed, De fense of Grafters Desired. SAN FRANCISCO. March 14. (Spe cial.) Resigning his position as man aging editor of the Fresno Herald late lust night and coming to San Francisco today. Colonel Edward Emerson, writer and war correspondent, charged that Willard P. Calkins, head of the Calkins newspaper syndicate, which has re cently established daily papers throughout the State of California, had endeavored to have'- him denounce President Roosevelt and the members of the graft prosecution in San Fran cisco and to write laudatory articles on E. H. Harriman. William F. Herrin, Abe Ruef. Eugene Schmitz and the in dicted millionaires in San Francisco. Grows Suddenly. Wealthy. The Calkins syndicate has recently de veloped such signs of affluence that curi osity has been aroused as to the baokers of the enterprise. Calkins' pa-pers have within the last, month been established in Sacramento and Fresno, where the senti ment in favor of the prosecution was (practically unanimous. The Bee, at the iormer piace, aim iue xwpuuin.-ttn, m urc latter city, had devoted their columns to violent denunciation of the Southern Pa cific machine and the biz grafters In San j'FYancisco. In a formal statement Colonel Emerson says: Praise of Grafters Desired. Contrary to the avowed Statement of Willard P. Calkins, president of the Catkins newspaper syndicate, as repeatedly expressed to me by Mr. Calkins himself, I found that I was expected to antagonize President Roosevelt and to suppress publications fav orable to him. When in response to a re quest from Mr. Calkins I expressed my sin cere admiration for president Roosevelt, my artlclewas suppressed. I also found that I was expected to write and publish covert arsruments in favor of Schmitz. Ruef. Glass. Herrin, Harriman and the San Francisco boodlers. Because I re fused to do so and because I wrote and published an editorial article deprecating the release of Schmitz and Ruef, I have found It advisable to throw uo, my editor ship of Calkins' newspaper organization in Fresno. Others Resign With Him. At the same time with my resignation, the Calkins newspaper syndicate has been fav ored with the resignations of Clifford J. Owen, the Fresno Herald's business man ager, and of half the editorial staff that Is, three members. Arthur I. Street, the editor or the pandex of the Press, writes me from Chicago that he. too, has thrown up hie editorship and part ownership of that magazine, now under control of Calkins, for reasons almost identi cal with. mine.
