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.

of the drills of routine life aboard a

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.
