SAD ERDING OF AN OLD
SOLDIER AT PRINEV1LLE
''John Prior, a Town Charactlr,
Burns to Death In Shack
H Where? He lived Alone. ;
(Journal Special Serrlee.)
Washington, May 19. -Trust Investi
gations and prosecutions are making
Uncle Sam pull up his Jeans. The cost
of special ' counsel makes the biggest
hole. 'Within the last four years tne
department of Justice has paid out ever
$370,000 for this purpose. Some of the
sums are ss follows:' 1 '
Beef trust $41,000; Standard Oil (In
court), $45,000; tobacco trust (under In
vestigation), $42,000; paper trust (con
cluded ),. $20,000; harvester trust (un
der Investigation), ' $30,000; fertiliser
trust (in court), $15,000; coal and oil
carrying railroad under investigation),
$10,000: powder trust (under Investi
gation). $7,000; turpentine trust, $26.
000; fines paid the government; $30,000.
There are almost a dosen Investiga
tions which have cost a pretty penny,
but they are of less Importance. Big
money had to be paid for special coun
sel to get proper result ;
t Kellogg and Morrison, who are paid
about $12,000 a year each, are devoting
a greajt. part of their time to the work.
Judge McReynolds, former assistant attorney-general
who has ohargs of the
tobacco trust Investigation, Is devoting
his entire time to It He is paid $H.
000 a year-.- .', t :- ,
This Is not as high proportionately as
was paid under the. Knox edmlnlstra
tlons. IX W.' Watson of Ohio got $10,
000 for one argument In the Northern
Securities case. Hudson and Harmon
of Ohio got $6,000 ssch for their work
on the Santa Fe rebating cases. When
they found they could not indlot Paul
Morton they drew out of the case.
Frank B. Kellogg of Ft. Paul is get
ting the biggest hunk of Uncle Sam's
money. He has had charge of the
Harrlman Investigation and It is under
stood draws $12,000 a year from the
Interstate commerce commission.
D0RRIS TELLS JURY HE
- KILLED BY ACCIDENT
s,m,i t The JsaraaLt
Prinevllle. Or.. May 20. John Prior,
aged 4, a veteran of the civil war, who
lived alone in a snack on me eage "
. town, was burned to death at midnight
last night. Ths origin or tne lire, wnicn
consumed his house, Is unknown, but
was probably due to the careless , nse
of matches or tne acoiaeniat pvanurn
Ing of a lamp.
Prior had served In tne First Con
nectlcut light artillery in 18(1, at the
age of If. He was a native of Ireland
and' combined all of the enthusiasm of
his race with the fervor of the true
patriot. He was for many years one of
he town's characters. He earned his
". living at odd Jobs and the townspeople
; were generous to him, for despite a eer
taln tendency toward habitual bibulous
Indulgence, he was always bunonng wun
merriment and aroodwlll te alL He was
noted for the everyday use of a set of
original expressions and was always an
obiect of interest to strangers. He
leaves as his little estate the lot on
which his house stood. He had no known
relatives in this country.
The cltlsens of Prinevllle will give the
charred remains of the poor old unfor
tunate a burial such as Is seldom ac
corded one of so lowly a station.

eased in examining witnesses. The de

made a good impression with ths Jury,
That part of his testimony which re
lated to the shooting or simms was to tne

would defend himself from bis assault.

The case Is being closely contested and
Judging from the number of exceptions
taken by the defense the case may be
appealed to the supreme court in case of
a conviction. ; '

Boise. Idaho. Msy 20. With the ex
ception of one or two incidents, in which
gun men, hired by the Colorado Mine
Owners' association, featured, Sunday
In , Boise saw no new developments in
ths Haywood trial. The attorneys on
both sides worked all day on the famous
case, conferring with their agents re

nections of the talesmen yet unexamined.-
y:y, A'.;V ::. ?:','.-';.yr' ':''.';'':'.:.:
Witnesses too, who expect .to testify
on tither side were talked with and
given their Instructions as to how they
ehould conduct themselves on the stand.
It Is plstn that no stone will be left un
turned by the law vera engaged in the
defense and prosecution of Haywood to
acquit or oonvict him. , Every lawyer
and agent connected with either side Is
straining his utmost, but none of them
will stand for a newspaper Interview
concerning their operations.' "
. Prosecutor Supplanted,
In ordinary criminal cases the prose
cuting attorneys, while generally at
tempting to do their best, make no spe
cial effort to convict the prisoner
charged with crime. Not so with the
present, case. In fact the regular pros
ecuting attorney, O. M. Vanduyn, whose
duty it Is to take the Initiative, has
been practically put aslds, and the beat
and most experienced, criminal lawyers
In the northwest have been given charge
of the prosecution. 1 In ordinary crim
Inal cases the person being tried Is pre
sumed Innocent until he Is proved guilty
of ths orlme. At least ths prisoner is
given the benefit of the doubt by the
state's attorneys.1 Haywood, however,
is being prosecuted with a vengeance
by United State Senator W. K. Borah
and .Attorney James H. Hawley, that
finds nowparaBel unless it be ' found in
those extraordinary eases in ths south
where negro brutes are arraigned. This
attitude of the attorneys engaged in
proseoutlng Haywood is particularly no
ticeable and Is the subject of consider
able comment among the court specta

Socialists la Meeting'.
Socialists in Boise, local and visiting,
met last night and quietly discussed the
situation. Several persons present re
lated -experiences they have had during
the last several days with armed thugs
whose actions were such that they plain
ly Invited hostilities. Ons msn said
that ha was standing near a street .cor
ner, waiting for a car, when two rough
looking men. who afterward turned out
to be Colorado gun men, approached and
In a loud voice began to revile socialism
and unionism, declaring that anybody
who embraced -er-" advocated - either
should be run out of the country. An
other socialist got up and said that
he was roundly abused by one of the
courtroom guards Friday for no purpose
whatever, that the guard' 1 actually
started to draw his revolver saying at
the time that he had a notion to shoot
on general principles, and that in ordef
to prevent a fight and possibly a killing,
he, the socialist, was compelled to make
a hot-foot from ths place. ,
Veaoe Program Adopted.
Many stories similar to these were
told bv Other socialist speakers. At ths
conclusion of the meeting it was re
garded ta the consensus of opinion
among those present that for the sake
of peace and the welfare of the federa
tion leaders no action should be taken
against ths detectives and gun men,
either collectively or individually, and
that on ths other hand every ' socialist
in Boise end Ada oounty shall do his
best to observe the law and keep his
temper.
W, D. Haywood, the defendant, spent
a quiet day. Attorney Dai row con
ferred with htm two hours in the after
noon and his wife visited him for an
equal length of time. His morning
hours were spent In exercise and read
ing his mall. Mrs. Pettlbone, wife of
Oeorge A. Pettlbone, wss unable to visit
the Jail on account of . sickness. Mrs.
Moyer. wife of Charles H. Moyer, has
been confined to her room in a local hos
pital nearly four weeks.
Save for . the activities of the attor
neys and agents Interested, and the
detectives, gun men and a few unionists,
socialists and newspaper men, very few
people in Boise are- taking any apparent
interest in the case. Apparently Boise
residents refuse absolutely to tslk about
the affair, Cltlsens corns and go and
attend to their business or enjoy their
pleasures as if there were no such thing
as a labor war in existence or a 'Hay
wood trial gong on. ;
