JURY FIXING SCANDALS.
Senator W. M. Wayman, manager
of the livestock Interests of the North
western Investment company, was In
the city last night, returning to the
sheep camps this morning, says the
Boise Capital News.
"The storm which came a week
ago Sunday wus perhaps the worst
March freeze the stockmen of south
western Idaho ever experienced," sni.1
he In an Interview. "Some floekmas
ters had begun shearing and others
were In the midst of lambing when
the cold snow came. In such cases
there will be a considerable loss and
a greater damage In the condition of
the animals that do not die.
"Many owners had turned th stock
out on the range aud the flocks were
somewhat removed from feed. In
such cases it was impossible to move
the sheep to where they could get
hay, and very difficult to haul hay
and grain to them after the snow
came.
"Our lambs will not begin to come
before April 6, and the ewes are In
good condition, so that I do not antici
pate any loss other than from natural
causes. As to the loBses throughout
the Canyon and Washington county
ranges, I would not cure to muke any
prediction. Those who were prepared
for the storm or couM get feed after
It came, have suffered but little losses,
while those who could not take care
of their flocks will find themselves
In hard luck. The percentage In each
class mentioned would be difficult to
estimate."
. Little Lohs In Oregoa.
Montle B. Gwlnn returned from On
tar'o last night, where he went to
meet one of his partners in the sheep
business.
"While the storm was pretty severe
and entirely unexpected, the stories
of losses sustulned are greatly over
estimated," said he, "We will not ex
perience any loss beyond that in ordi
nary years, from natural causes. Our
sheep were not only protected from
the storms, but we had plenty of feed
to carry them through until good
grass comes.
"A good many owners who were out
of feed, and realise what six or seven
cold days In succession means at this
season of the year, have got the blues
and feel as though their losses are
going to be much greater than they
will be. The heaviest losses will come
In the shortage of the lamb crop. In
flocks exposed to the storm without
any feed, and amonfg sheep that had
been shorn. But few sheepmen had
commenced shearing, excepting their
thoroughbred stock, which is under
cover and did not suffer."

tigation hy the grand jury of the al
leged Jury fixing scandal, particular
ly the criminal charges against Am
brose F. McCabe, of the law depart
ment of the Metropolitan Street Rail
way company, was begun here today.
In a general way It Is charged that
counsel for the Metropolitan Street
Railway company and his assistants
have either bribed or Intimidated wit
nesses to be called In damage suits
aganlst the company, to prevent their
appearance as witnesses against the
company.
City Judge Seobury for some time
conducted an Investigation of theBe
charges and accumulated a large
amount of testimony which will be
submitted to the grand Jury. On the
strength of the Information collected
by him. Judge 8eabury had Attorney
McCabe arrested. It is Understood
that there are scores of cases against
McCabe and his associates in the law
department of the Metropolitan Street
Railway company and that a large
number of witnesses will appear to
testify against him.
The case Is attracting general In
terest and has stirred up a great dealt
of dust owing to the fact that Dis
trict Attorney Jerome had at one time
begun an Investigation Into the Jury
fixing cases and had conducted It In
a desultory manner for some time,
but had finally abandoned It as hope
less, while Justice Seabury quietly
continued his investigation and suc
ceeded In accumulating material suf
ficient. In his opinion, to Insure the
finding of an Indictment against Mo

unions of New York and Brooklyn are
working hard to stir up public opin
ion and arouse interest In their plan
to nfk congress to award 'the construc

pressure Is brought to bear upon the
members of congress from, New York
and Brooklyn. More than 20 labor
unions are Interested In the matter
and have appointed committees to
take any stops that may be necessary
to accomplish the desired end.
More than 2000 men that were em
ployed on the Connecticut will have
been laid off by the end of this month,
as the battleship will be practically
finished within the next two or three
weeks. More than 4000 men wore em

two new ships have not been award
