Leads to Involving of President Roosevelt's Name in Acrimon ious Discussion HAVE SHARP DISPUTE Twelve Talesman Are passed on Late In Afternoon Subject to Sharp Examination Boise, May 16. An unexpected uncovering of a vein of prejudice against Harry Orchard and his testl- "mony yesterday led to the first sharp wrangle between the counsel and In volved the name of President Roose volt in acrimonious discussion. The day and Incident began with Samuel Wlngate, eleventh talesman, In the hands of the defense for examina tion In chief. Questioning developed that Wlngate .was biased against Orchard and unwilling to accopt testimony which it Is expected ho will give against Haywood. The defense naturally tried to show that his state of mind was not Biich as to warrant his removal from the box, but when the talesman was repassed to the hands of the state, Senator Borah quickly drew from him a flat footed statement that he could not under and circumstances give credence ijj Orchard's testimony. Wlngate waB excused. Thence forward the state was par ticular to test that all the talesman on this point. Talesman Burns who followed Wlngate declared that ho could not give tho same credonce to Orchard as to other witnesses, but his' attitude was not deemed suffici ently biased to warrant his removal. The question recurred at the after noon session when Senator Borah put the question to talesman Mc Guffln who succeedd Talesman Henry In his seat after the latter had been evicted from Implied bias on the tes timony of R. Z. Lovelace who swore Henry had told him Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone would not have been, brought here, "If they had not been mixed up with the case." Clarence Darrow, of the defense's counsel objected to the question and Borah sharply replied that after the Immense attitude the defense has taken regarding McParland, Taft and Roosevelt he did not think thoy should stick on any technicalities at this late date. "We do not ask as to the effect of McParland's testimony," said Dar row and Richardson together. "If Roosevolt Is to be brought here to testify, wo might havo something to say," retorted Borah. "Well I don't" know about that," said Darrow. Judge Wood directed tho counsel to proceed with the case, but Darrow who was standing took formal action to Borah's remarks. "I will bo glad to eliminate Roose velt if ylu will," replied Borah. "He fense." "He came In himself," said Rich ardson, "He Is two thousand miles away and writes letters." "Ho was brought in by his own butting In," added Darrow. Judge Wood overruled tho objec tion to the question of tho talesman saying he did not have any bias in the matter. The defense noted the exception and the incident closed, The jury box was finally filled with twelve talesmen who were subjected to examination and temporrarlly passed at 3:40 o'clock In the after noon and the court announced that It was in order for both sides to ex ercise changes after a delay of a few minutes in which Haywood and his counsel conferred, the state exercised Its right and excused Talesman Van orsdale. Qeorge F. Mays, with some strong opinions was then called. The state passed him and ho is still in tho hands of tho defense when ad journment hour was reached. EARTHQUAKE Chllpanclngo, May 10.

It Is Impossible to convey the way In which the forceful yet, genial personality of tho man look au ienco of men women and children, that filled the opera houso, by storm direct manner in which his deep sot jyes pierced into those of the in. divlduals. The audlenle, and his ag gressive personalty which an open frank manner Inly served tl nccont uate won the andlence completely and made Jt posslbjo for Marshfleld to raise $4,000 In les-thnn forty-minutes. ' Tom Richardson was presented by Mayor E. E. Straw. Ho opened his 3peech with nn ancedote about the last time he and Governor Chamber lain made a talk together which was at the oponing of tho State Fair.

St. Louis said, we have nat ural reslurces are tho key tl tho mighty west. Chicago said, wo nro in a muddy swamp and we will make a city with iur vim, fire and energy. Today Chicago is three times tho slue of St. Louis. "Tho women of your city can do for you an untold good. In Portland thoy decided to have tho city painted and cleaned. The ladles took up the campaign and tho result every ono knows. If any place on earth haj a similar campaign before it that place Is Coos Bay. You can do It as wo'' as well as did Portland." In clear concise terms Tom Rich ardson plnted out tho need ot commercial organizations, "Somo of your business men may say they haven't time to nttond.Thats what they said in Portland when tho work of organizing a club wa first Instituted." Coos Bay with Its advantages could be described In all the lang uage that tho human tongue com mands and then tho picture would not bo complete. But 1 want to ray that In tho last fivo years town?

'Wo are spending over $135,000 and the city has reap ed $6,000,000 in results. New .York the metropolis ot tho United States has a commercial club and advertises Its advantages; Boston has an adver tising club , and Chicago has itt,cqni raerclal club. This la a day of ad vertising. A community must not think that It is doing all the grow ing. Astoria, Boise, and Los 'Angles are working just as hard' as you. "I want Coos Bay to goi everything that Is coming to it. It muBt let the world know ot thla place where the blessings of God are found.
