St. Louis, .luno 4. Ldwnrd Hells, of
St. Louis, believes lie, has identified a
painting ho purchnsoil u year ago for
less than $100 as tlm f unions "St.
Jerome" painted by Titian about 1.131.
No trace of the painting has been had

picture from Allison K. Stewnrt, a St.
Louis mining engineer, to whom it was
given in linn) by n padro in tlio moun
tains of Honduras after Stewart had
given him a liberal offering of silver.
Tint painting itself shows it is very
obi. The canvas is hand inado nnd filled
with roil rlay, after tlm cuHtoms of tho

Canadians Hay Japanese Laborers Will
boon Leave United States.
Ottawa, (Jut., June B A report
received at the department ( trade
and commerce from Alexander Mc
Lean, Ciii.I'I.i'h agent to Japan, gives
a pi est iijiiniuii that within a xliort
lime the United State will have more
dilliiulty in obtaining labor from Ja
pan than it has now in keeping Jap
anese laborers out.
There in a growing demand for
Japanese laborer from almost all the
countries of South America and from
Hawaii, which tiromiscii, with the de
mand for men for the development of
Corea and Manchuria, to absorb the
whole of Japan's supply of laborers.
Within the last few months the emi
grant companies who deal with Jap
anese labor as an export commodity
have Idled contracts in Mexico for
10,000 laborers.
PRESIDENT UNDECIDED.
Lawyers Urge Prosecution of Harrl

Washington, Juno 5 Homo defiuito
conclusion is to he. reached during tho
coming week in regard to tho course to
be taken by thu (Jovernment in thu
disposition of tho case developed by
Hid Interstate Commerce Commission
invest igat ion into the llarriman rail
road mergers. An important confer

tion at the hitit Ilouso in tho week,
which will be attended by the Presi

At present Mr. Moose volt is undo-
1 1 1 ... I iitinnt wtuit uliiitl l.f. iliiiie lie
has received advice from some sources j
urging that Mr. llarriman be prose
cuted, while other ollicials of the (iov
ornineut have taken the position that
mi eh a prosecution could not be suc
cessfully carried out. So far tho Presi
dent has not given any indication ns to
how lie regards the case. It is believed
he is not in favor of going any further
with the crusade against Mr. llarri
man. The members of tho Interstate Com
merce Commission are also divided on
the question of going after Mr. llarri
man for alleged violations of the anti
trust law. Chairman Knapp is known
to consider the case as developed
against Mr. llarriman of such n char
acter that it would be a matter of great
uncertainty as to whether a conviction
could be had. These views are believed
to be shared by at least two other
members of the Commission, though
they hnvo refused to state their
opinions. ,

States District Attorney Robert T.

Mr. Devlin is also investigating the
reported importation of Japanese as

expressed here upon reading the To
kio story of Japan's dissatisfaction
at tlie attitude of the United States in

vorably affect public opinion toward
the United States.

No Grazing Fees for 1907.
Washington, June 8. From cor
respondence received at the Bureau
of Forestry, there appears to be
some misunderstanding as to the
rights of settlers to graze stock on
forest reserves created by the Pres

The Secretary of Agriculture Issued
on order permitting all persons who
had heretofore used the range In the
newly created reserves to continue
the use of same during the season of
1J07 without permit from the De
partment and without payment of a
grazing fee. Next season the range
in these new reserves will be con
trolled by the Department and only
such stock can be grazed as is auth
orized by the Forest Service. At the
same time, a nominal grazing fee
will be collected at a rate yet to be
fixed by the Department. Hut for
tho present season grazing In the re
serves created March 2 and 4 will be
as free as If the range was still a
part of the open public domain.

STRIKEBREAKER USES GUN.
Opens Fire on Unionists Who Were
Following Him About.
San Francisco, Juno 3 -W. A
I'orgey, a strike breaker in tho employ
nt the I'fiiteil Kailroads, was shot and
fatally wounded at Van Ness avenuo
and 'lurk street at II o'clock (Saturday
night by Hpecial Officer W. J. Ulom
berg, of the Humane Hociety. Forgey
opened fire on a crowd of strike sym
pathizer who had recognized him and a
companion as strike breaking carmen,
and who had pursued the two men for
several blocks.
P.lomberg took up tho chase attempt
ing to arrest Forgey, and returnod the
latter s fire, with fatal results.
During the fusillade Thomas Stack, a
structural ironworker, was shot in the
leg. rorgey is dying at the Central
Kmergency Hospital.
The cars of tho United Kailroads
started at 0 o'clock in the morning and
the service was continued until 8:30
at night. This time, it is said, will be
gradually extended by the end of next
week, when full service, with the ex
ception of the owl runs, will have been
resumed. Tho owl cars will not be
placed in operation for some time. The
Fillmorc-street extension was started
yesterday, so that every line in the city

ning, 225 cars being operated, aad, in
eluding students, about 600 men were
employed on them.

terday, and the receipts were larger
than on any other day since the strike
began. The company is carrying more
than 150,000 passengers a day, and it is
believed by tho officials that this num
ber will grow rapidly when the hours of
service aro extended.
FINES OIL COMPANY $1,623,900.
Missouri Corporation Convicted of
Violating Anti-trust Laws.
Austin, Texas, June 3 A jury has
found the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
of Missouri guilty of violating the anti
trust laws of Texas, convicted it of hav
ing entered the state by fraud, fined it
$1,023,900 and granted the prayer of
the state for ouster proceedings.
The defense bas filed a motion for a
new trial and the case will be taken to
the Federal courts. The state fled a
petition with District Judge Brooks for
the appointment of a receiver, also an
injunction to restrain the company from
moving any of its property from the
state. The judge granted a temporary
injunction and set the receivership
hearing for June 8.
The trial has consumed three weeks
in the District Court here and its con
clusion is merely the beginning of a
long legal battle. At the outset of the
proceedings the defense attempted to
secure a change of venue, but not suc
ceeding in that, vainly sought to se
cure a judgment by default in order to
hasten their course to the irederal
courts.
The basis of the controversy is the
provision of the anti trust laws of 1899
and 1903.
HAYWOOD IS ILL.

Boise, Idaho, June 3 William D
Haywood was seized with a sudden ill

to treatment and by 9:30, when Judge

1:30, it was believed that the prisoner
would be able to attend an afternoon
session. He did attempt to dress, but
the effort made him dizzy and ill, and
he returned to bed. His counsel in
formed the court that he would surely
be able to be present Monday and an
adjournment was taken until 11 o'clock
today. i

Oath Administered.
INDICTMENT READ TO PRISONER
Nearly All Farmers, Well Past Middle
Age Defense Dissatisfied at
Lack ot Union Men.
Boise, Idaho, June 4. Twelve men to
try William D. Haywood for bis life on
the charge that he murdered ex-Oov
ernor Frank Hteunenberg have been
chosen and bound by oath to honestly
deal the law's justice between state and
prisoner. Haywood has heard the in
dictment charging him with the crime
and today, after the state has recited
its case and made promise of proof, the
first chapter of the sickening tale of
the Caldwell crime will be retold.
The wearisome work of jury selec
tion ended quickly and unexpectedly
Monday morning.
The court room bushed to silence as
the 12 men rose in their places and,
facing the clerk's desk on the left,
raised their right bands in solemn
asseveration of their pledge to do exact
justice by the accused. It was an im
pressive scene and there came another
two hours later, when after the mid
day recess Haywood listened to the
reading of the indictment against him
self, Moyer, Pettibone and Kimpkins.
Haywood had come to the court room
whitened somewhat in color from his
illness of Saturday, but as the clerk
walked in front of the jury box and
began reading the indictment a little
tide of blood came up along bis neck
and spread over his cheeks. His wife
and daughters sat at bis side during
the brief afternoon session at which the
indictment was read. Haywood talked
with them and hisx counsel after the
statement was read and then, as he rose
to return to his cell, smiled a friendly
greeting at a friend sitting near the
end of the bench.

having detailed some of his offisers to

but declared that he did so because he
