Boise, Ida., July 19. "We have
proven, we believe, beyond the slightest
shadow of a doubt the direct responsi
bility of this defendant, William D.
Haywood, for the series of crimes
culminating In the cowardly murder of
Frank Steunenberg," declared State's
Attorney James H. Hawley In opening
the summing up of the prosecution In
the trial which Is now nearlng its close.
Hawley was selected to open the state's
case oecause of his ability to dissect
evidence, and during his lengthy
dremi, which consumed the entire after
noon and will be continued Saturday,
he took complete -advantage-of every
little point made by the wltnesnes who

Members of the executive board are
confident that one or more officials In
the street cleaning department are
systematically robbing the city, and an
investigation will be made by the ex
ecutive board this afternoon and if sub
etantlated somebody will probably face
the prison doors.
For months the executive board has
suspected that prominent members in
the street cleaning department have not
been conducting themselves honestly
but It has only been within the last
I few days that any specific charge could
be made.
C. A. Cogswell, chairman' of the street
cleaning department, and Superintendent

followed the arguments closely. Rich

answer Hawley on Monday. ..,
Prior to Hawley's opening Judge
Wood announced his decision regarding
the admissibility of all evidence touch
ing upon the Colorado situation.
Blow to Defense.
Judge Wood announced that he had
decided to exclude all evidence bearing
upon the deportations and actions of
the mlneowners in Colorado. This dis
tinctly hits the defense. Wood read
his decision, which was very lengthy.
It recites first that Adams and Or
chards' trip to northern Idaho is not
?roperly connected and is thus excluded
rom tue case. This was already fore
casted. But the elimination of the
charges against the, Plnkertons and also
the mlneowners was hardly looked for
and will tell against the defense's con- I
tentions that others, not the federation,
were responsible for the Vindicator and
Independence explosions arid the attacks
on Peabody and Bell and on Judges
Gabbard and Uoddard.
Hawley had complied his aum-
minir ud in comprehensive style, start
lng with the actual murtler of Frank
Steunenberg and then reverting Immedi
ately to the Coeur d'Alene troubles, and
following Orchard's progress from the
hills or nortnern laano tnrougn Mon
tana into Colorado. Not a single con
tention Orchard made was 'jvenooKed,
nd every telling point was emphasised
;aln and again oy tne speaxer. ai-
uia-h on the verge of breaking down
thrwh overwork, Hawley showed little
outwinc evidence oi the physical - ia
tiame. and his remarks were followed
closely by the audience that filled every
avauaDie men or space in tne court
room. One thing Hawley did early In his
speech which had telling effect was to
mlttee could look up the matter, and
when it is called up in executive board
this afternoon the reference will be
promptly made.
Although no figures oan be secured
on the value of the dirt stolen from
streets undergoing improvement and
sold to private property owners it is
believed that the city has been deprived
of thousands of dollars' worth of soli
In this manner. The members of the
board denounce such methods, and If
anybody is found guilty he will in sll
probability have to stand a criminal
charge in addition to being dismissed
from the service of the city.

In order to cope with fires in tall
buildings and afford better protection
to life, the Are committee of the execu
tive board has recommended the pur
chase of an 80-foot water tower and
four life nets to cost $8,100. The com

strengthening the fire department by
the addition of this new equipment and
in all probability the executive board
at Its meeting this afternoon will re
quest the council to pads an ordinance
appropriating the amount .required.

The resolution introduced yesterday
calls attention to the large number of
tall buildings erected in the past five
years and states that the water tower
and life nets would be of inestimable
value in fighting fires and saving lives.

something like $18,060 in the fire fund

Little Lucille January Telegraphs to Roosevelt That Her
Papa Will Be Good Man for His Family and His
Country to Have.
(Journal Special Serriee.)
Kasaa City, July 19. "Thank you for
sending papa home to me and mamma.
We are happy. Papa says he will be a
good man for us and the country to have."
Such was the message received by
President Theodore Roosevelt-at Oyster
Bay today from little Lucille, daughter
of .William January, the American Jean
VaJJean, who was released from prison
today.
-January was released from the prison
at jjeavenwortn today ana started lor
Kansas City immediately. As soon as
they arrived here, January's daughter
was taken to the telegraph office, where
she filed the message quoted to the
president. As little Miss January, or
Anderson, as she is known, is but three
years of age, she needed assistance in
compiling the message, but the state
ment that she Is the happiest child in
Kansas City is true, for the little miss
has had her father a trouble carefully
explained to her.
January's pardon by the president
was the result of an agitation started
by the newspapers and a petition con
taining more than 20.000 names, which
was presented at the capital. January's
offense was trivial. He stole food from
a store, which also contained a federal
postoffice, in Oklahoma. He was . ar
rested and sentenced to five years in
prison. He served nearly the entire
time, but could not resist the tempta
tion to fly when an excellent oppor
tunity offered. He then worked about In
the very territory in which they were
hunting for him for many Years, finally
settling in Kansas City under the name
of Anderson, were ne was mamea ana
a ehlld born, and it was not until a
shdrt time ago that hla Identity waa
discovered.
When he was discovered January was
returned to prison, but hla term there
was short, Ms pardon being sought by
every one who heard of his case.
Hundreds of people gathered to greet
January at the gates of tha prison
when he walked out a free man thia
morning. Foremost among the crowd
were his wife and daughter. A" touch
ing scene ensued, and tne JOy of the
reunited family seemed to fill the crowd,
which gave cneer after cheer for the
