Fifty-four of the undergraduates were seated on the de'orated platform In Villard hall, an! opposite were seat- tr faculty of the university and some of the regen's. The graduating address by Senator John M Gearin was the feature of the tn u-! in.

After a few brief remarks he broke Into the body of his talk. In part he For you. y ting men and wo- events of today mark the partings of the wav«; yesterday you were children, tomorrow you will be men and women of the greatest ad vantages. You have the training of a university, and the culture that is un excelled anywhere of which I know. A university is one of the greatest hu man Institution« in the world. It Is the highest type of education; and education is the finishing of the hu man product as the painter's brush is of the crude picture. It has dis cipline learned by trials of self-denial and work. “The directing agency of all the great steps in the world's advance is the educated man. He is the finished man. He is the cause of bringing out better conditions.

Judge Wood entered an order for all witnesses for the defense to bp excused as soon as they testified with the xceptlon of those whom the state desired to retain In Boise The per diem and expenses of these to be paid by the state. The defense next called John M O'Neil, editor of the Miners' Mags zine. He declared that Moyer and Haywood had nothing to do with the magazine, although they occasionally wrote signed a rtlcles, and that the purpose of the magazine was to edu cate and unite politically the mem bers of the Western Federation of Miners. O'Neil sometimes consulted Moyer and Haywood or some men of the executive board, but usually con sulted no one, but published editor ials as he wrote them. A number of extracts denunciatory of Steunenberg and written after his death were read to the witness who acknowledged their authorship and (Continued on Page 6.) —-- ------------------------- — GIVEN PARDON BY GOVERNOR Salem, June 26.—Governor Cham Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—“If 1 could positively be assured of the berlain today granted a full pardon electoral vote of a single southern to McMahon, a convict serving a life state I would gladly be a candidate imprisonment sentence for a murder next year.” in Grant county in May, 1X97, when The foregoing statement was made he killed one Guttridge, it is claimed by President Roosevelt on Georgia, defense of the reputation of his day at the JaiuesloWD exposition, ac 'mother and sister.

(Opinion of Majority In Audience Dlf- ferixl—Miti Hnndman, Itounia 11 ian Jew, Delivered Powerful Oration as Also Did Francis Galloway-— •lack lattourette ami Henry Kinney Other Orators. Amid rou-fderable dissatt’factlon on the pert ».the audience, the Fall ing prize of $150 was awarded last night to Miss Arto m tte Burdick of Cottage Grove, for the best oration of the rout -t held at the univers ity Max HandTsn, a Roumanian Jew, of Portland, dr w from the judges the Beekman prize of $100. Miss Burdick's orition was entitled ' The Blight of Precedent." and was delivered In a clear, sweet declam atory style. Handnian's oration was also "The Blight of Precedent" and was by far the strongest in feeling of the evening. During its delivery women clinched their hands, tears burst from thè eyes of strong men and others sat like statues. The ora tion dealt with the injustice to the Jewish race, and Handman delivered it with a Flrange and wonderful power. It was not the utterance of one man, it was the utterance of the whole Jewish people through him. In It was the power i of oratory which in the past t has aroused men to fight to the death, the power which might turn i all but spirits of stones Into life. Francis Galloway also had an or ation, "The Menace of Special Priv ilege," which while of a different type, had all the power that man could conceive that could be put Into it. While less emotional than Hand- man's and without the appealing power, it was delivered with a more polished style, more perfect ut terance and strength of argument, though with not the passionate force. Either of these two orations would have taken fir: t place in the recent interstate contest, so great was the sublimity of both, and last night the opinion was divided somewhat, with the majority In favor of Handman RICH YOUNG OLIVER KILLED BY AUTO New Haven, June 26.—D.

Boise, June 26.—Defense in the Steunenberg case continues to offer evidence that Orchard threatened to kill Steunenberg; that he was also a participant in the plot to destroy the Western Federation of Miners. Its first witness today was Mrs. Ixittie Day, of Denver, who swore that Orchard hrd told her that but for Steunenberg he would be a mil lionaire; th-'t he tend ’d to kill him. Mrs. Day testified of Orchard's and said he always kept a little mo ney put away that when he made a "raise" he put some money away with Pettibone and drew it out as he needed it. John D. Elliott, an o Id soldier, testified that he met Orchard on a train late in November, 1905; that Orchard told him that he was an agent of the Mine Owners’ associa- tion; that there would soon be pulled off a plot that would destroy the leaders of the miners' federation. Both Mrs. Day and Elliott were sub mitted to a long and searching cross examination and Elliott admitted he was an inmate of the state insane asylum for six or seven months in 1895, but declared he had a certi ficate of recovery. In May, 1905, he went to the asylum again but was released later on the promise of his Men’s Department.. It is surprising thatso many men are willing to wear cotton mixed clothes when they can get all wool, but it’s more surprising that anybody ¡swill ing to pay all-wool pikes for cotton. Yon know that all-wool clothes cost more than cotton; if you want all- wool clothes you must pay the price, you understand that. But every man wants a suit that fits and is serviceable, at the right price, there fore he must get clothes that are all wool, tlwroughly tailored with best trimmings and linings, cut in the latest models and neatest pat terns, They feel better, keep in shape better and have so much more style than the cotton adulterated goods and are more economical even at their high price.

Ono of the leading spirit« in the great beef combine. upon the dedication of fhe Georgia building, a replica of the homo of the president's mother at Roswell. President Roosevelt was carried away with enthusiasm upon the oc casion and the Georgians present, among whom were many well-known persons, shared the enthusiasm It was a love feast, and political Issues and party lines were for a time for gotten. Each man was toasting the other and all were toasting the pres ident. Soon after this Graves went to President Roosevelt and urged him to run for a third term Roose velt, It Is said, was moved by the plea, but recalled his promise made to the public following his election In 1904 The President Is reported to have said that but one thing would cause him to change his determination In this raapect. He then said that If he coaid be l^'Sitlvely assured of the electoral vote of a single southern state if be could break the »olid south—he would be a candidate for a third term.
