Suspect Need Not Testify Against Himself Whitson Upliolds Constitution. Boise, Idaho, Oct. 3. The Borah trial was interrupted for d time to day to allow the special grand jury, which has been investigating the charges of misconduct against DlS- ..i..!. iiiiuuicj, nuiuK 10 report. Tne grand jury declared the charges were "not a true bill," and returned In dictments against two of the men who filed affidavits against Mr. Ruick. In connection with its Inquiry the grand jury has had before it an af fidavit made by George Y. Wallace, Jr., of Salt Lake Cltv. AVniinnn swore that ho met Fred Miller to Spokane, one of the Federation at torneys in Salt Lake last April, and that Mi'ller declared the miners' or ganization had spent $91,000 of Its defense fund up to that time a month before tho trial. Wallace, it Is stated, also said that Miller told him $15,000 of this amount was spent In securing the indictment of Borah. Miller was called before tho grand jury today and it is said denied tho story in all Its details, saying he had made no such assertion at any time or place and that any such assertion would have beon false. John F. Nugent, of this city, an Jther Federation attorney, was also a witness before the grand jury, and it is understood that he said he had never oven heard of such a story. When the testimony as to tho re cording of deeds at the request of Senator Borah, Judge Whitson an nounced his decision as to the wit ness, L. G. Chapman, general mana ger of the Barber Lumber company who yesterday refused to produce certain records on the ground tlrat they might tend to incriminate him. "There Is a tendency nowadays," said (Judge Whitson, "to wipe out constitutional guarantees, but it is a movement I have no sympathy with. It may be that the constitution is wrong and that a criminal should bo compelled to" testify against hinlself, but so long (as the constitution is what it is, I Intend to uphold it. The contention of the witness is sus tained." Chapman once before was upheld by the federal courts in refusing to produce the books. ' Washington, Oct. 3. When tho president declared in his message that every schoof hduse ought' to have a shooting range he showed how deeply ho was interested in marks manship. It should cause no won der, therefore, that he himself is at tho bottom of the controversy rang ing between army and navy as to the merits of their respective systems of gunnery. It was tho president him self who directed Commander Sims to report on the army system of gun nery. When that report was received it was of a character to occasion the president much concern, and he im mediately forwarded Commander Sims' report to tho general staff with Instructions that he be promptly ad vised what the army had to say for itself in tho light of Commander Sims' comments and recommenda tions. These included statements that the army system was cumber some and complicated, that it lacked in numerous ways tho accuracy and modernity of the navy system, and recommendations that the army be required to adopt tho navy system, Install its fortification guns in tur f He is a joke.

NO PAY, NO COAL, IS THE NEW ORDER People Who Owe Coal Kills Cnnuot Get More Fuel, Even with Cash. MAY RESTRICT EMIGRATION There is going to be a fuel famine in Marshfleld of largo dimensions. IU may not affect those who burn wood, but the coal consumer will be praying for fuel and without avail unless he has paid his last bill even if it was ordered only a few days pre vious to his last request. The word Is out that no coal will be delivered to anybody who owes for any coal delivered to them in the past. That means practically a cash business, Canada's Plan to Keep Out 'flic Ori entals Will Benefit America. since the dead-beat and tho man with rets instead of on disappearing car- money to pay. his bills, cannot get rlages, and adopt the navy methotl another ounce of coal until they are PRESIDENT VISITS CAIRO, ILLINOIS Great Effort in Central States Better Shipping Facilities on Mississippi. for Cairo, Ills., Oct. 3. Conveyed' in 50 carriages, drawn by white horses, President Roosevelt and party were driven from the Cairo wharf, where they landed from tho steamers Mis sissippi and Alton at 9 o'clock this morning, to St. Mary's park. The pa rade was headed by a squad of po lice and the Fifth regiment Illinois National Guard. On arrival at tho park Mayor Parsons called the as semblage to order and introduced Governor Deneen, who made a brief address, concluding with the intro duction of tho president of tho Uni ted States. Before beginning his speech, Mr. Roosevelt made some re marks outlining his position on the deep waterway project. "I have long felt that the nation must understand improvement of tho great highway of the Mississippi, but my observa tions on this trip have had the effect of making me more ardent than I was." After further remarks along the. same line, the president began bis prepared speech. of calculating ranges and correcting errors by tho observation of the splash of projectiles. Until the receipt of the presi dent's letter the artillerymen had had no knowledge of the fact that they had been under observation by a naval officer, and when they read tho report they declared with vehemence that Commander Sims' observations had been wholly superficial, his com ments wholly ex parte and his recom mendations Impractical to tho ex tent of being ludicrous. Immediately the chief of artillery, the chief of ordnance and the chief signal officer were detailed to prepare a reply to Sims' report, and when that is com pleted it will be placed in tho hands of the president, not later than on the day of his return from tho trip on which he started today. The most encouraging report of the target practice at Cape Cod is to the effect that the Alabama, with her 13-lnch guns, has made 80 per cent of hits. No other ship, It is re ported, has approached this record for that distance, which Is given at G.000 yards. The Georgia made 50 per cent with her 12-inch guns at similar distance, and about 30 per cent with 8-inch guns. The Virginia made about 30 per cent, with 12 and 8-lnch guns. While army officers profess to seo in the records a fail ure of the navy system for long ranges, naval officers profess to be highly pleased at the work with the guns. square with the ledger. Thero seems no way of getting around such an order, since there is but one coal firm In the city. And it has been noticeable that the price of coal has Increased to some extent of late 25 cents on half a ton. The manager of the Llbby mine was asked if ho had concluded to migration of Japanese was follow the custom of those who had it will be seen that the m on coal until forced to burn from sawmills. Washington, Oct. 2. Should the Dominion government refuse to ad mit Japanese without passports, ono result foreseen by the United States immigration officials would ' be tho stopping of Japanese from entering tho United States in transit from Mexico bound for Canada. About 500 immigrants have entered this country from Mexico since tho presi dent's immigration proclamation was issued on the plea that they were bound for Canada. Thus far only 150 of them have reached their des tinations, but it Is supposed that they will get to Canada some time. Commissioner General of Immigra tion Sargent's annual report will ,Soon be out.

MOVEMENT ON HAND FOR OPENING QUARRIES William Grimes is authority for the statement that there is a deter mined movement on foot for estab lishing industries on Coos Bay which will bring about a Detter grade of construction in the city of Miirsh- fleld. There are several deposits of basaltic rock known to be in ex istence, all within convenient dis tance from tho Bay. Mr. Utter says he has a quarfy which could be opened In a short time and thus aid in the improvement which has be come an immediate necessity. A number of interested parties, those who will erect buildings, and others who would invest in industries, will meet soon to perfect the movement and originate something tangible from tho many prospects which, at present, are mostly talk. price, so It is understood. Now tho question Is, What are you going to do about it? Burn wood, or keep your bills paid? In a con versation over tho telephone with the coal company, a Tinies representative was informed that tho Teamsters' union irresponsible for, this change, but It is hard to discover just where the teamsters aro affected because people they nover deal with do not settle their bills forthwith. Perhaps tho teamsters do not understand the situation as it was explained to The Times.

After the cost of white paper had been thoroughly discussed it was unani mously agreed that unless the prlco of whito paper Is decreased, financial ruin stares many of tho publishers in the face. A. J. Slough, of the New Castle News, who presided at the meeting appointed a committee which drew up a resolution demanding tho free admlbslon of wood pulp. Many of the. publishers present declared that If tho price of white paper goes any higher many nowspapers in Penn sylvania will have to suspond pub Ucatlon. Husband For Gladys. Now Pdrt, Ott. 3.

'l On Saturday, September 21st, an entertainment was given by the Big" Creek school on North Ten Mile lake, which to tho largo and appreciative audience present will long be remem bered as a red letter day In dramatic and .educational events. The teacher and pupils were not tho only partic ipants in tho exercises, but were ably assisted by tho wealth of talont in the surrounding country. The rendi tion of the accompanying program reflected great credit on tho ahllltv of Mrs. M. E. Thompson, the accom plished and gracious teacher, whose labors in the Big Creek district can not be over appreciated, and to whoso untiring energy and learning is large- T flltn (tin -..!! m . j uuo mo uAuenenco oi tne enter tainment. For tho edification of tho uninitiated it might be well to sny that while the program makes no distinction as to who were and to who were not the scholars, teachers and others, that Harry Wllklns is not at this tlmo under tutelage, in school matters atleast, nor Is Miss Mary McDonald or August Erickson. Tiie recitations and drills of the children were admirably presented, but It was when it came to the dia logues and recitations of the elder persons that the more developed tal ont was exhibited, it was thon that the only original living personifica tion of Henry Irylng trod the boards In the, person of Slfe-nor Henri Wll klns; and Mr. August Erickson, late returned from his histrionic succes ses on the continent, caused tho shade of Booth to sit up and take notice. In mentioning tho triumphs of tho elder actois, (by older we simply mean over school ago) wo must call special attention to tho ladies participating, Mrs. Thompson and Miss Mary McDonald, linth of whom have worked for weeks In tho preparation of tho program, and to whose efforts is largely duo tho suc cess of tho entertainment, each of whom posses a very high degree of talent in rhetorical, and who in' their different appearances gave undeni able evidence of dramatic ability.
