Boise, Idaho, July 12 With Hay

jury the defense in the trial of Hay
wood for the murder of former Got
ernor Frank Steunenberg at the gate
way of his home on the last day of
1905, has practically played its hand.
Next week will be used up by the
state in presenting its evidence in
rebuttal and it. now seems absolutely
certain that a verdict will be reached
by July 25. V--
While there is much discussion
here as to what the result will be it
is generally conceded that a disagree
ment must result. Jhe evidence has
been so conflicting that it will be a
hard matter to separate the wheat
from the chaffcuand get down to the
real case matter did Haywood and
his associates conspire together to
kill Steunenberg? As a matter of
fact were the penalty in this case less
than death the state might win but
there has been so much extraneous
matter permitted by Judge Wood to
'be recited that there really exists a
reasonable doubt, in the minds of
those who have been in court every
day since the trial began, as to the
exact knowledge Haywood bad of the

Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, governor of
Colorado, arrived in Portland last night
and stated today the Colorado mining
situation will be handled hereafter ou
the open shop policy and no organisation
of any kind will be allowed to dictate
what 'action shall be taken regarding
the conduct of the mines or the miners.
That doea not mean," said Governor
Buchtel, "that Colorado will be hostile
to any legitimate, labor organisation.
We want organisations . thai have for
their object the raising' or the quality
of labor. When they accomplish that'
they will secure higher wages.

Olfford Pinchot, chief forester of the
United States, accompanied by F. H.
Newell, chief of the reclamation serv
ice, and Dr. W. J. McOee, secretary of
the inland waterways commission, ar
rived in Portland this morning a day
in advance of Secretary Garfield and
party, and stated that conditions in the
forestry service were better in the west
than he had expected to find them.
"The complaints from settlers," he
said,, "art growing .fewer each year.
While iiotne of them are based on rood
cause, most of them are made through
misunderstanding or oondiuona gov
erning the administration of the fores
try service.

"Settlers have In most cases only a
vague understanding of the laws under
wnicn the service is operated and rew
realise that it has been in operation
only a few years and has grown into
one of the largest departments in the
government, to create eucn a branch
of the government and place It upon a
satisfactory working ban Is has taken
much time and labor, and viewed from
tnat point its accomplishments are remarkable.
"We have to contend with the cuttlns.
down of vast areas of timber. If this
were allowed to go on without attempt
ing to rehabilitate the forest, it would
not be many years before we would be
lacking a source of supply. We have
already stemmed the tide and the next
few years will seb Still greater progress
maae. .
"To grow forests requires time, and
bSeause of this fact we have to be
strict in. the obligations we place upon
those who wish to cut the timber for
commercial purposes. As soon as they
are brought to realise these facts, we
have little difficulty in winning them
to our side, and in most cases receive
hearty support.
" Ho Badloal Changes.
"My trip to the coast is not for the
fiurpose of making radical changes In
ha administration of the forestry serv
ice. We are accompanying Secretary
Garfield and party for the purpose of
investigating me country and Holding
conferences to determine what condi
tions obtain."
All the members of the party that
arrived today are members of the In
land waterways commission. They are
studying conditions of waterways in
the west. This commission was ap
pointed by President Roosvelt a year
ago and has for ita object the study of
Inland streams .and lakes that can be
fitted for navigable purposes. The care
and conditions of these waterways Is
taking up part of the time of the vari
ous members on their western trip.
In referring to the cutting of timber
on forest reserves. Forester Pinchot
said his only object in coming to Port
land a. day in advance of the rest of the
party was because he had more work
to attend to here than he could accom
plish In a day. He will spend today in
consultation with forest supervisors
going over the conditions in Oregon. 1

Nag and Sells It
George Marshal, an Indian living on
the Umatilla reservation, pleaded guilty
this morning before Judge Wolverton
in the United . States district court to
stealing his son's horse and was sent to
the county Jail for six months.
Marshal stole a horse once before
from his son, Harry, and was warned
the next offense would result In the ar
rest of the wayward parent. The
temptation of whiskey beset the path of
the errant father, however, and he pur
loined the second steed, on which he
rode to Pendleton one Saturday night
He sold the animal end proceeded to Im
bibe on the proceeds of the sale. He
imbibed too much and was arrested.
The next day Harry looked for his
horse and learned his father was in
jail. He immediately arrived at the con
clusion that his father had stolen the
horse and got drunk on the money. . His
conclusion proved correct and he swore
out a warrant before the United States
commissioner for his arrest.

a defense based upon absolutely nothing
aside from . the "unwritten law," Mrs.

murder upon one ballot this morning.
Posey betrayed Mrs. Bowie's daughter,

to marry her.
When the jury retired this morning it
remained just long enough to take one

UNCLE SAM TO
BUY STOCK IN
MANY RAILROADS
Washington. D. C July 12. President
Roosevelt is considering the advisability'
Of making a recommendation to the next
congress on the railroad question that
will excite general comment and atten
tion. It is nothing more or less than
that the government become a small
stock holder In some of the large rail
roads of the countrv. with a view to
having a representative placed on each
board of directors. By this process tho
government would become thoroughly
inrormea as to the inside facta or every
railroad and be In a position to enforce
such reforms as it mla-ht desire- to
make.
If made at all the recommendation
of the president will be that the con
gress provide an aDoroDrlation for the
purchase of a small number of shares of
stock in certain railroads that may be
selected. When these shares have been
caul red. assumlnsr that conrreas would
fall in with the plan, the administration
will know how to sracead to f orca roads

It was decided today that hostilities

other. The Dutch proposition to require
an interval of 24 hours between the
declaration and hostilities was, voted
down by the committee. It is probable
that thep revelling war rules will-be
changed to require a declaration' of war
before hostilities opened. Japan created
a sensation when M. Taudiukl emphati
cally favored the French proposition re-
