WP 7i HAYWODD IS WILL WE TIEN SICK UK DEALS HEM INTO SALEM K Trial At Boise Delayed By One Day Because of His Inability To Attend SURMISES ADVANCED Friends of Prosecution Say Illness Was Subterfuge In Order to Gain Time. & Boibe, Juno 1. William D. Hay wood was seized with a sudden ill ness early this morning and was un able to appear in court. He was restless and 111, most of the night, and early this morning began to cry In pain. Two hurriedly summoned uhyolclans announced ho was suffer ing with acute Intestinal tozemi. Measures for alleviation of pain were taken, which Included tho ad ministration of morphine and tho dizziness and nausea caused by tho drug rather than by the original trouble, were responsible for his in ability to go to tho court room in the afternoon. Haywood is a hearty eater, and since the trial began has stopped taking exorcise, and these conditions, qddedt to the worry and strain of the trial, are believed to bo responsible for tho attack. The earlier suffer ing of the prisoner created the lm- prsslon he was quite seriously ill, and It was thought an extended IrP terruptlon of the trial was inevitable. He responded quickly to the treat ment, and this morning it was thought ho would bo able to attend tho afternoon session. He attempted to dress, but was seized by nausea and returned to bed. His counsel informed the court he would be ready on Monday, to which day the trial was adjourned. The Interruption of the trial gave rise to a large crop of opinions. Friends of the prosecution expressed the belief Haywood's Illness was merely to securuo time to further in vestigate tho latest venire; others were sure Haywood had collapsed under tho strain of the trial. Ono suspicious friend declared Haywood's friends should petition the authori ties to personally prepare all food for the prisoner. Still another re port was that the defense was great ly dissatisfied with several of the jurors and would seek, by affidavits to secure the consent to further ex amine them. Anothr report was that the prosecution was dissatisfied with one juror and would ask to have him removed after the defence had exhausted its last peremptory challenge. Peter Breen, attorney of Butte, re tained by the Miners' Union of that city to assist the defense, arrived to day and was In conference with Hay wood's counsel, but took no part in tho proceedings. There appeared some question about his entry in th case, and it was said he would not remain here. Some announce ment Is expected tonight. ELECTION TOMORROW The Outcome in Coquille and Myrtle Point Is Causing Much Specu lation and Interest. Tomorrow will witness tho most closely contested election held in Coos County for some time and there is much speculation as to the out come, Coquille seems to be about evenly divided, and Myrtle Point is said to be strongly in favor of Pro hibition. There seems to bo no question but that tho cities of tho Bay will vote the "wef ticket. Tho other towas in Coos County who want to rdlustoto tho saloons aro counting ca a majoi'ty vote from tho Bay cities of 200. At tho last olecilcm Marshflld polled 241 votes against prohibition and 123 In favor. North Bend polled 220 against ard 82 In fa.r. In the entire county tbcro were 1,14." votes for prohobltion and 1,277 against, the county going "wet" by a majority of 132 votes. Two Additional Steamers On Coos Bay-Portland Run Break water and Czarina MEANS NEW LINE Freighter Will Not He Placed On Until Some Time Nevt Fall Large Boat. Better service between Portland and Coos Bay ports, that will provide ample facilities for greatly enlarging Portland's trade, is to be granted by a new steamer line to be placed on the run by the Southern Pacific. Tho steamers Czarina and Break water will be put in commission within the Tiext few months, with sailings every six days. The announcement that these ar rangements have been made will bo greeted with a great deal of satis faction by Portland people. The busi ness interests of the city have long clamored for adequate transporta tion facilities to Coos Bay and peo ple of that section nave been eager to have such arrangements made that they can trade with Portland. Tho interests of Coos County are with Oregon, but owing to the diffi culty In transporting goods from Portland to tho Coos Bay cities, much of this trade has gone to San Francisco. With the establishment of this steamer line, there Is no doubt that Portland will secure all the trade of the rich Coos country. The restricted service that now obtains to Coos Bay ports seriously restricts trade with that district. Regular and frequent sailings with large, first-class steamers on the run, will expand the business of the Coast section, develop its resources and add an important source to Port land's permanent prosperity. The matter has been under consid eration for some time, and It has been decided to place tho Break water In service early in July, or as soon as she is off the San Francisco drydocks, where she Is being over hauled. The passenger accommoda tions on board are being enlarged and freight-handling machinery is being added. The Czarina, a freighter, now ply ing between Puget Sound, the Co lumbia Biver and San Francisco, will not enter the service until Fall, owing to the demands of the present traffic. i n'3f!$g The name of the new steamer line will be tho Portland & Coos Bay Steamship Company. The vessels will be berthed at Oak street dock and arrangements will probably be made for the sale of tickets at the Third street ticket office of the Har riman lines. Both steamers are suitable for tho run proposed for them. The Break water was built by Roche & Sons, Philadlphla, and is on the lines of the Cunarders. She has a net regis ter of 793 tons, is 01 feet long and 30 feet beam. She is equipped with modern, first-class machinery and Is fast. In every way she is an up-to-date steamer. As welcom? as the news of tho new line is in Portland, it will be hailed with delight with perhaps oven greater satisfaction In Coos Bay, where an adequate lino has been a long felt want. Oregonian. ATTEMPT TRAIN WRECK Timely Discovery Averts Another Disastrous Accident to Southern Pacific Passenger Train. Los Angeles, June 1. What ap pears to be another deliberate at tempt to wreck a Southern Pacific train was made this morning a half mile from Burbank. Tho work gang discovered that a fishplate had been driven hard and fast into the split switch and would certailnly have caused a derailment of tho first pass ing train had not the obstruction been found. Shortly after the fish plate was removed, tho regular south uound passenger train from Santa Barbara whizzed over tho spot. Dis charged employes of tho road who are harboring ill will toward tho managment are suspected. -Ding' BREAK GROUND AT ALASKA-YUKON-PACIFIC EXPOSITION' WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES Seattle, June 1. With much pomp and Impressive ceremonies, ground was broken today for tho Alaska - Yukon - Pacific Exposition which will be held In ID 09, opening just two years from date. Tho day being practically declared a holiday, Seattle presented a gala appearance, and amid a blare of trumpets the marching of a military pageant, in spiring speeches and banqueting, the inauguration of active work on the Pacific world's fair was cele brated. From early morning until late at night the officials of thoEx- position were kept busy attending to; the duties that fell upon them to make tho day ope to beMong remem bered in tho history of the Pacific Northwest. Many prominent men, mayors, legislators, governors and state offi cials attended the ceremonies, and visitors from nearby cities wero present. It was asserted today by tho Exposition officials that the aus picious event of ground breaking ex emplified the great Interest that -is taken everywhere in tho world's fair of 1909. Hon. John Barrett, direct or of the International Bureau of American Republics, as tho personal representative of President Roose velt, was the principal speaker of the day and tho guest of honor. President John Edward Chllberg, of tho Exposition, after appropriate remarks, turned the first spadeful of earth amid the playing of the Star Spangled Banner and rousing cheers of the thousands in attendance, thus declaring that work had commenced on the great fair. Addresses were delivered also by Governor Albert E. Mead, of Washington, and Mayor William H. Moore, of Seattle. Tho ceremonies started with a big military parade at noon. It passed through tho principal downtown streets, which wero thronged with people and ended at Union Station, where a special train was taken fpr the Exposition grounds. Tho fol lowing .troops were in line: United States regulars from Fort Lawton, marines from Puget Sound Navy Yard, Washington National Guard and the High School Cadets. Tho fifty Exposition trustees, officers and distinguished guests rodo in car riages. Tho exercises on tho grounds be gan at 2 o'clock, and If the tenor of tho speeches made can be taken as a criterion of tho importance of tho Exposition to the world at large, there is no doubt of its ultimate suc cess. Following Is tho list of speak ers: Hon. John Barrett, director of the International Bureau of American Republics, representing "President Roosevelt. Governor Albert E. Mead, Stato of Washington. Mayor William H. Mooro, Seattle. President J. E. Chllberg, of tho Exposition. John P. Hartman, Board of Re gents, Washington University, Henry A. McLean, Washington Stato Commission. I. A. Nadeau, director general of tho Exposition was master of ceremonies. in Des Molno3 Register and Leader. The day's ceremonies will end this evening by an elaborate banquet to John Barrett at the Rainier Club. Mr. Barrett Is well known in the West. Before he entered the Gov ernment service he was a newspaper man In Portland, Seattle, San Fran cisco and Tacoma. He began his diplomatic career as minister to Siam, and since has hold several Important diplomatic posts. It is thought by the management that two years of. strenuous work on the $10,000,000 world's fair will find it completed in every detail by Juno 1, 1909, the opening day. The past year has been spent in exploita tion work which has produced satis factory results. Many States have . made "appropriations and tho prom ises of others and foreign govern ments, have been secured. The pro motion work will be carried on just as energetically for the nexl two years as the work on the grounds and buildings. I The purpose for which tho Alaska- I Yukon-Pacific Exposition is being held is considered by every one to be I worthy of the expenditure of so large a sum. Briefly, its primary object is to exploit the resources and poten tialities of the Alaska and Yukon territories In the United States and i Canada, and to make known and fos- I ter tho vast importance of the trade of tho Pacific Ocean and of the 1 countries bordering upon it. The Exposition site, which em braces the unused portion of the campus of the University of Wash, ington, is 250 acres in extent and borders for more than a mile and a half on lakes Union and Washing ton. It has been pronounced bj competent authority as scenlcally the finest ever utilized for such a pur. pose. The Olympic" and Cascade Mountains are in sight and an unob structed view may be had of tho per petual snow peaks of Mt. Ralniei and Mt. Baker. In their virgin state the grounds possess everything tc please the eye. Thero are tal. stately giants of tho forest, gentle slops, commanding terraces and un surpassed stretches of water front. The natural amphitheatre where the ground breaking ceremonies wero held will accommodate manj thousands of people. Speaking In a natural voice one may bo heard to tho outermost edge. Now that ground has been broken work will start immediately on the landscaping and the laying out of roads, plazas and circles. Tho Ad ministration building will be erected at onco in order that tho manage ment may have headquarters on tho grounds. Tho Exposition plans call for about twelve largo exhibit pal aces arranged In a unique manner. ARTISTIC NEEDLE AVORKKRS.

Tho meeting was adjourned until next Thursday, tho rgular meeting day, at which tlmo they will again meet with Miss Elck worth to decide on tho plcuic.

Many of these sheets may be thrown out when the official canvass is made. KILLS WRONG WOMAN. Freoport, 111., Juno 1. Mrs. Edna Humelhagon, 19 years old, was shot to death today by Herbert E.
