In the faoe or opposition oy nia counsel, wno want the case to go over until the January term of court. They assert that they win not have, time to prepare their ae fense, but It may be possible to hold an onen date later In the Dresent term. Ordinarily the jury is not held over more than two weeks, as the docket for the remainder of the term is crowded with conrt cases. The courts ere now behind with the cases set for trial, so that none of the cases set for hearing today could be taken up. The witnesses examined by the grand jury in the Finoh case were Miss Verne Hurkbart, James J. uunnuig, u. al uel lert and Dr. W. A. Roberta Nine Indictments were returned br the grand jury this morning in its first report to Judge O&ntenbein.

CflLllTliE HAS HOT SPOKED Colonel David M. Dunne, collector of internal revenue, contends that no one has been authorized to say that It is his intention to resign his position as col lector of Internal revenue. For some time It has been a current rumor that Colonel Dunne Intended to reslen and also to become a candidate for mayor of Portland at the June election, colonel Dunne says he has not said that he in tends to resign. The candidacy ror wie mayorsniD. the colonel says, nowever, is anotner ques tion. A large number of friends have been Importuning him to make the race for the Republican nomination for mayer, and while the colonel does not say that he will be a candidate, he does not say he will not. He says "That is another matter." SPECIAL ASKED III IDAHO (United Pna &eawd. Wire.) '"V Boise, Idaho, Dec. 10. The judges of the Idaho ounremn court today reoom- mendnH ts Onvarnor floor! In a- that a .De dal session of the legislature bo called December 28, one weeK jn aavance or the regular .session, , for the purpose of considering ' the., revised code of the Idaho statutes, ordered by the last leg islature. The' work of revision baa been complete by- a commissioner, LOOT BUNDLE CACHED IN GULCH Two men, believed by Mrs. Kenner of 171 East Seventh street north. Jo be the highwaymen who robbed the East Side bank last Monday evening, were seen yesterday to enter Sullivan's gulch carrying bundles or packsges under their arms, and later to emerge without the bundles, to be met by a third man with whom they went away. Mrs. Kenney reported to Officer C D. Hanson that yesterday morning she saw a man enter the gulch near Oregon and East Ninth streets. He had a bun dle under his arm. The man went down into the gulch, remained there some time, and came out again without the bundle. He was met at the north side of the gulch by another man and the two went away together. In the afternoon another man came up from the south side of the rulch near East Everett and East Eighth streets, also carrying a bundle. Like the first man, he, too, entered the gulch, came across and emerged without his bundle. He. also, was met by another man with whom he went away. Mrs. .Kenney promptly concluded, on seeing these performances, that the three men she bad seen where the men who robbed the bank, and she notified Officer- Henson. The officer went down into the gulch and made a search. out was unaoie to nnd any traces or the men having been there. But it is thought possible by the police that mese were tne panic roDDers, and that their booty Is cached somewhere In the gulch. A careful watch will be kept in the hope of nabbing the men if they return for their loot. This Is the only new development In the case. It is possible, of course, that the three men who last night held up and - robbed a Great Northern train near Spokane are the same who com muted tne DanK roorwry, nut this is not thought by the detectives working or the case to be very probable. Men who had just pulled off such a success ful job snd cleared up over $14,000, say the detectives, would hardlv he liable to take the chances of attempting anuiner ruuuery bo soon., criminals rarely operate so long as they have money in their pockets and it is be lieved that the three bank robbers would be more liable to be having a gooa time on me money mey realised than endangering their lives and liberty in so perilous an enterprise as a train noioup. . One theory of the police detectives ia that the bank robbers may have cot away in some ship leaving Portland or some other port since the holdup. This Is possible, but seems hardly probable, as there would have been great danger in their attempting to embark at a time when the police of every coast port were on tho lookout for suspicious characters. Captain of Detectives Baty made tho startling statement this- morning that no one has a description, of the bank robbers.' - There aro descriptions enough, he says, but they do not taly. For In stance, some of those who n Ahm men say that-two of them wore sandy mustaches, while others who also saw the banic roooers say mey were all clean shaven.: "The description of one of the men, unon which on of the Diivate detsc. tfve agencies Is working,'' said Captain Baty, "is of a man 5 feet t inches in height, weighing 170 pounds, and sllmly built! Think' of a sllmly built man of. that 1 wirhln 170 pounds, ' "The trouble is," continued the cap tain, "that it is hard to get anything like an accurate description from any one who is not an expert at taking de scriptions. Now, bow old would you take me to be?" The reporter guessed 40 years). "You're five years off," said tho cap tain. "I'm 45.,r "How old am I, and how tall and what do you think I weigh?" 'asked .De tective Maloney, who was present. The reporter made a bad guess on all three points, missing the helghth by two Inches. Malonev in turn attempted to guess the reporter's height and missed it by two Inches. "You see," he said, "it ia th hardest thing in the world to estimate a man's height I don't suppose the descrip tions wo have of those men are any where near accurate, though probably that of the leader is fairly good." In fact, the typewritten descriptions that have been distributed among the detectives and members of the sheriffs office state that those of the two men. one of whom held the sack and the other o whom guarded the door of the bank are not to be relied upon. There Is a great deal of rivalry in this case among the various detectives working on tho case. Nearly every pri vate detective agency in town, as well as the police detectives, are searching for some clue that will lead to the ct rest of the robbers, but thus far noth ing has been discovered that affords any promise of success. The identity of the robbers is still as mysterious as It was the moment they entered the bank and held up President Nowhall at tho j point of a gun. . Every possible clue Is being-followed; up. Several times a day there Is an ex cited call for the police by some one who believes he has seen the robbers, and a detachment of officers is sent out to Investigate, but always with the am rnanifr Th men seen are Inno cent residents of the town going about their business. Yesterday afternoon the police were informed that three men had been seen Mrn nv Ant nr r ntt nrusn near mi car- shops, carrying a sack. A squad of po Hm hiirriod tn the, nlaco and arrested the three men, only to una xnat tne sack contained notning oui some epia "victuals," the larder of three brake beam artists who were without money, ptut nn thav ran afford to nesrlect no possible clue, the police have to respond to ail tnese cans. , ACTIOfl TAKEN OH "inSULT" Wa.Mnirtnn Tiw is. After several conferences the Republican leads of the house agreed this afternoon upon a lino of action tn dealing with President Roosevelt for his alleged insult to con gress in nis annual message. A resolution will be presented recit ing the facts Involved in-the contro versy and calling for tbe-appolntment of a select committee to investigate and .nn-t tn tho hnusA auch action as will comport with the dignity and honor, of th .nouje - .
