HIS PROBABLBfAPPOINTEES
SpcciulMs InjftlHiilcliMl Work Arc
Being Chosen For tlic New
$ Board.
San Francisco, July 25. Mayor
Talor spent yesterday in the coun
try freeing himself from the chase
of job hunters, and leaving no Infor
mation of his whereabouts for the
benefit of eager advisers. In fact,
the manner in which the Doctor has
shakei himself free rrom thosg who
expected to furnish him with needed
advice is said to have made their
teeth chatter. Theso gentlemen are
calling to mind Instances when Dr.
Taylor had been associated with
other counsel in the trial of law
cases, and had taken the bit In his
teeth to the confusion of his col
leagues, and they have concluded to
allow the Mayor to choose his own
official family.
It is understood that the following
men have definitely accepted:
II. U. Drandensteln, Dr. A. A.
D'Ancona, Henry Payot, George L.
Center, A. Conte, F. W. Dohrmann
and James P. Booth, while C. H.
Bcntloy, Walter MacArthur, William
French and E. B. 'Pond will undoubt
edly bo added to the list.
This selection of eleven names,
most of whom have already had ex
perience on the hoard, leaves little
room for those who are to bo asked
to complete the sixteen to decline on
the ground that they have not the
time to devote to the public service.
It was remarked yesterday that, with
such a proportion of tried men on the
board, the business of the supervisors
would bo conducted without the least
possible amount of wasted time.
Before the new board is seated the
now Mayor's legal title to the office
to which ho has been called will be
settled by legal proceedings. It has
been pointed out in this connection
that the proposal to bring a man
damus suit against Treasurer Bantel
Is open to the objection that it might
ho delayed by the lawyers who are
engaged In separating Schmitz from
his money. Before the day set for
the return of the writ it would he
possible for Bantol, under instruc
tions, to pay a claim without the sig
nature of the person in jail. He
could then make return that he wos
already recognising Mayor Taylor,
and tho proceedings would end whore
thov beir.in. without result. Law
yers say there is a more speedy and
efllcacious way to Bottle tho point.
Mayor Taylor is adhering to his
rule to settle one matter at a time,
and has not yet turned his attention
to tho commissions, in which several
radical changes are to ho made, after
tho now Supervisors have been seat
ed. Tho Police Commission and the
Board of Public Works will come
first, and tho days of Jerry Dinan,
who "nover resigns," are to ho speed
ily cut short. When tho Mayor
comes to tho Board of Health he has
soveral intimate friends in tho pro
fession In mind for appointment.
In connection with his regard for
tho letter of tho law a recent utter
ance of Dr. Taylor Is recalled. When
Schmitz made an attempt to seize the
public library site for a temporary
city hall, Dr. Taylor said:
"Some people nowadays seem to
think that necessity can be made an
excuse for lawureaklng. It can't."

penitentiary, believes in tho old say
ing that "music hath charms to
sootho the savage breast," as shown

tho organization of a brass band
among tho convicts at the prison.
He says that good singing and ser
mons exert a great influence over the
convicts for good, and that this may
be Improved by the formation of a
good band, there being plenty of ma
terial at hand for tho purpose. As
there aro no available funds for such
purposes from the state tho chaplain
will appeal to Individuals for the
funds necessary to purchase tho in
struments, which will not necessarily
be expensive. Gilbert Hunt has

Intention or Dosiio to Give Im

Boise, July 25. Tho case of the
State of Idaho against Haywood",
charged with the murder of Gover
nor Stennenberg, will rest with the
jury by Saturday night. Clarence
Darrow, after speaking for eleven
hours, concluded his final plea for
Haywood's life at 4:20 p. m., and at
seven tills evening. United States
Senator Borah opened the closing
argument for tho State. He will
speak for three sessions or about
seven hours. Judge Wood will in
struct and charge the jury Saturday
morning.
At least 1,000 people were unable
to find seats In the court room to
night. Two hours before the hour
set for the third session of the day,
crowds began to arrive and within
a half hour the doors were closed
to all but the court officials and
newspaper men. It was an audience
composed almost entirely of Boise
people gathered to hear the speech
of a young man who recently was
elected by the people of Idaho to
represent them In the United States
senate and has been assistant coun
sel for tho prosecution in the case
against Haywood.
Aside" from tho unaccustomed
crowd in the court room, and tho
large number of women present, the
scene was much a sit has been dur
ing tho last eleven weeks. Mrs.
Stcunenbcrg, widow of the murdered
governor, appeared in the court room
for the first tlmo since tho trial
opened. She occupied a seat inside
tho railing, beside her youngest son,
Julian. Governor Gooding, with a
number of the executive staff, and a
large representation of tho state
judiciary and bar were among tho
audience. Haywood was surrounded
by seven of his counsel, and his wife,
In her invalid chair, was, as usual,
by his side.
At tho prosecution's table, when
Borah rose to speak, were seated,
two on each side, the counsel for tho
State, but Ilawley, leading counsel
for tho State was not in his placo,
owing to illness. Borah's speech was
a sensation. From time to timo he
turned on the counsel for tho de
fense -with flerco denunciation pour
ing from his lips and at times
brought protests from Richardson
and Darrow, but with blazing eyes
and hot words, ho silenced every
effort to break the rush of words.
Tho cllma'x was reached whon In
behalf of tho State of Idaho, Its peo
plo, Its governor and himself ho dis
claimed all intention or desiro to
give Immunity to Orchard.
With face pale and voice quivering
from emotion, ho exclaimed: "I do
not know what your verdict will be
In this case. I don't believe anybody
knows. There is on thing I do Know,
and that Is you will nover get twolvo
men In the State of Idaho to turn
Harry Orchard loose. You will
nover get any man as governor to
turn him loose. Orchard has been
promised no Immunity and if I
should ever havo anything to do with
such a bargain as that, I should want
tho Great God to wither my right
arm till it fell from Its socket."
