LAWYERS HAVE INNING.
Devote Entire Day to Argument In
Haywood Cats.
Boise, Idaho, July 19. A day of ar-
Igument on the admissibility of point
!of evidence followed the announcement
from the defense that they had no fur
ther witnesses to offer in U half of Wil-
'liam D. Haywood. The jury was not
brought into court, Judgo Wood having
I. .. ,1 I... .....,.. I f it,ii, .!..
rebut Ul. Clarence Iwrrow spoke lor
an hour ami a half of the morning sos
sion. Senator Borah replied in the
afternoon and was followed by v.. t .
Richardson. Judge WihxI will prob
ably announce his decision today.
The point argued was the proposition
to exclude from consideration by the
jury the evidence offered by the de
fense to show, bv proof of deportation
of minners from and the employment
of detectives in the Cripple C reek ens-
tint of Colorado, that a conspiracy was
formal anions the mine owners and the
citizens of the district to prevent the
employments of members of the est.
em Federation of Miners. The posi
tion taken bv the 1 lav wood defense was
that Harry Orchard was employed by
the Mineowners' association through
detectives to commit crimes which were
then charged to the Federation, and
public opinion aroused against the .un
ion workers, and it therefore followed
that, if Colorado evidence for the state
was admitted, the defense had the
right to show a counter-conspiracy,
The reply of the state was that the de
fense had failed legally to connect its
case in these particulars and therefore
its evidence merely contused that issue
In the absence of the jury the argil'
ment gave ceuneel an opportunity to
take a wide range in commenting on
the methods employed on both sides.
Mr. Darrow was impassioned and vitu
perative. He bitterly assailed Orchard
and the Pmkertons.
Mr. Borah confined himeelf largely
to the legality of the question of admis
sibility. He spoke for an hour, force
fully reviewing the evidence and alle
gations made by the defense, which,
he said, failed to show bv the memler
of the alleged conspiracy between the
mine-owners and the Pinkertons that
any such conspiracy existed.
DISSENSIONS IN THE RANKS.
fitrikirg Telegraph Operators Criti
cise National Chiefs.
San Francisco, July 19. Yesterday
was a busy day in the ranks oi the strik
ing telegraphers at Oakland. There
were committees appointed and many
impromptu consultations held, and dur
ing the afternoon several operators
waited on the three members of the
executive committee, M. J. Reidy, S
Konenkamp, and J. M. Sullivan,
but absoluthte silence was maintained
as to the meeting or the trend of the
discussions.
It was evident from the bearing of
the conferees that the situation was
considered serious and there were hints
of increasing friction among the leaders
of the strikers. The executive commit
tee came in for severe criticism on ac
count of its reported remarks deprecat
ing the calling of the strike and its ap
parent lack of sympathy for the local
operators.
It has been rumored persistently for
the patt few days that there was a ser
ious split between President Small and
his executive committeemen.
Mayor Taylor Takes Office.
San Francisco, July 19. Dr. Edward
R. Taylor, dean of Hastings Law col
lege and acting president of Cooper
Medical college, today received his
commission as mayor of the city and
county of San Francisco. Regarding
his plans for reforming (he city govern
ment, Mr. Taylor said: "I have no
plans at present. In fact, the whole
thing has come on me so suddenly that
I have not had time to think about it
as yet. I intend to conduct the govern
ment on a nonpartisan basis, but fur
ther than that I have no plans."
Equal Pay for the Sexes.
St. Joseph, Mo , July 19. The thir-
teenth biennial convention of the Retail

eight-hour day. President Conway de
nounced depaitmont stores as a curte
to humanity, paying only starvation
wages to women employes.
Call for Death of Japanese.
Seoul, via Toklo, July 19. Placards
were posted today in one of the thor
oughfares calling for the death of all
Japanese officials in Seoul. The minis
ters are strongly guarded and every pre
caution has been taken to prevent riots
and attacks upon officials. The emper
or is reported to be too worried to tale
food or sleep, but this report is consid
ered to be one cf his usual maneuvers
to enlist the sympathy of his people for
him.

OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
EXCITED OVER COPPER
Ledge Uncovered Accidentally Which
Promises Rich Deposits.
Albany Mill City, the site of the
Curtiss Lumber company's big mills on
the North Stinl iam river, has teen
tut noi into a mining town. Workmen
excavating to replace tho company
store, which whs burned recently, un
covered rich deposit of native and car-1-onated
copper ore. The ledge was
traced to a Kint on the opjsito bunk
of the river anil started people pros
pecting aP over the town and on all
sides. The ore is reorted very rich
and great excitement prevails.
The discovery was made at a point
directly in the tear of where the burned
store stood for years, and it seems mar
velous it was not found sooner. The
poisonous efforts from diinking water
at Mill City, which has leen
noticed
many times In the past, is now
uted to the copier deposits
attrib -
in the
ground.
Mill City is on the Corvallis east
ern railroad, 35 miles east of Albany.
Rich Quicksilver Deposit.
Gold Hill A large ledge of rock has
just been discovered a shoit distance
north of Gold Hill which is so lich in
quicksilver that a small piece of rock
when ctushed will produce an amount
equal to what can be purchase! for 10
cents. The ledge crops out for a con
siderable distance and is w ithout doubt
the very best proposition of the kind
that has been discorered in recent
years, lhe mercury is in a perfectly
natural state as it comes from the rock,
so that it would apiear that no process
of reduction is required except to crush
the rock and allow the metal to drip
out.

FRUITGROWERS ENCOURAGED
Fine Cherry Crop and Good Prices
Bring Prosperity.
Albany Flvo tons of Royal Ann cher
ries were grown this season on a two
acre orchard owned by Cyrus If. Walk
er, near this city. elkor bus
.' traded to sell the entire crop at ft cents
, er pound, realizing an income of fMH)

tion of cherries now in progn from
Albany w ill mean quite an item finan
cially for this city.
In past years the two acres of Royal
Ann tro in the Walker orchard have
yielded aliout two tons annually. This
has made the trees very profitable, but
a yield of live tons, with the present
price, makes cherry growing a inont
.noticeable profit yielding Industry.
1 A great many cherries are U lng ship-
pod from Albany now. Tho Royal Ann
variety are being sent to the canneries
at Salem and Ptiyallup, Wash.. Repub
lican, Kentish and l'lng cherries aie
being sent diiect to the Portland. Seat
tle and Astoria markets. A good many
cherries are be ing shipped from this
city to the various pointsalnug the Cor
vallis V Eastern railroad. Black Re
publican cherries are now ripe and U
ing marketed with the other varieties.
Royal Ann cherries are bringing ft cents
iHr pound everywhere, and the other
varieties 4 cents.
All cherries yielded bountifully this
year tu this part of the sUite. There
are only five or six commercial cherry
orciiarus in tins vicinity, but every
farmhouse has its orchard and alrnotd
every yard in Albany its Kentish or
Black Republican tree. The demand
for cherries bus also been stronger this
year than ever before and all cherries
tit for marketing will bo sold. The
yield and demand this season have
demonstrated the fiasibility rf the com

cinity and this year's experience will
probably lead to greater things hero in
this industry.
