The commiaeion will hold no more public sessions until after tbe legislatute adjourns on May 16. As the commission cannot finish its work in time to report to tbe preeent legislature, as provided in the reeolu lion cresting that body, tbe inveetlgs- tora w ill send a report to tbe general assembly which w ill simply be an an nouncement that tbe inquiry is incom piete and a request that Us time be ex tended indefinitely, and that it be au thorised to make its report to Governor Stuart when ready. The suits w ill be based on the testi mony showing that tbe contractor col lected from the state for 752 thermo stats and installed only 363, and on the substitution of domeetic for ba<carat glass and an inferior glass for Tiffany (avrile. The testimony also shows that while tbe more elaborate of tbe $2,000 worth of lighting fixtures was to be mercutial gold, the bulk of thoee in stalled were merely acqueied, the lat ter process costing one-tenth the price of the former. A ll these fixtures were supplied to tbe state at a coat of $4.85 “ per pound.” Boise, Ida., May 3.— Counsel for prosecution and defense in tbe Steu nenberg murdei case have fettled down to their final prepaiatoiy work, and there ia every reason for believing that the trial of W liiiam Haywood, first of tbe aocused men, w ill be ccmmtneed on Thursday next. Various reports aa to moves tending to further delay the trial are in circulation, but the attitude of both sides Indicates that they are ready for trial. The only preliminary proceeding pending is a motion by the defense for a bill of particulars of tbe evidence by which the state hopes to show that progress Haywood conspired to the murder of Govemor Steunenberg. This motion, which ia designed to secure a disclosure of the hand of the state, will be argued tefoie Judge Wood on Monday next. This is not regarded as likely to delay tbe trial. The Idaho code and practice, modelled cloaely upon thoee of Califor nia, make no provision for bills of par ticulars in criminal cases, and in the only precedent recorded in the Idaho reports the court denied the applica tion, holding that the power to require require the furnishing cf bills cf par ticulars in general was discretionary with the court. It is asserted that no right of appeal goes with such a mo tion and neither side seems to regard tbe matter seriously. CRAFT IN KANSAS CITY.

San Francisco Public Works Official in Toils of Haney. San Francisco, May, 3.— Tbe inquiry before the grand jury today developed the fact that a gigantic graft hae been can ied on by President George Duffey, of the board of public works. Duffey’s graft was done through the rental of teams for tbe use of the city. In some cases the expenditure for a team and driver went as high as $30 a day. Duffey waB formerly a member c f the board of supervisors and was one of the most active bribetakers of that aggrega tion. It is chatged against Duffey that he has continued to graft in the face of the giand jury’s investigation. Governor Gillette today addressed a letter to Andrew Wilson, a member of the state railroad commission, demand ing that he resign at once. Wlison was formerly a member of the board of su pervisors, but was electee! railroad com missioner last November. W ilson’s confession, as made to the grand jury, was placed in the hands of the gover nor, and formed the basis of his action of today. Wilson has refused to resign. C O M M ITTE FINDS GRAFT. Huge Profits In Furnishing Pennsyl vania State Capitol. Harrisburg, Pa., May 3.— The capi tol inveat¡gating committee issued a statement tonight showing the cost to the state for furnishing the hoilse library and the reception and private room of the resident clerk of the house to have been $104,732. The Pennsyl vania Construction company, of Mari etta, Pa., and the John H. Sanderson company, of Philadelphia, are esti mated to have made on these furnish ings from 500 to 1,000 per oent profit. Jamee Scarlet, chief counsel of the commission, has been asked by the at torney general to take charge of he pro posed criminal and civil suits against certain persons involved in the capitol scandal. AFTER S. P. GRANTS Attorney General to Force Rail read to Sell Land. MUST PERFORM TERMS OF GRANT Government Would Forfeit Southern Pacific Land Grants or Com pel Sale to Settlers. Washington, May 4.— There is no longer any doubt that the national ad ministration w ill exert its powerful in fluence to break tbe Southern Pacific land monopoly in Otegon and force that company to place on the market the remaining 3,000,000 acree of it* grant, selling upon demand to bona fide settlers in quarter-section tiacte and at not more than $2.60 per acre, as specifically set forth in the law un der which the grant was made. After several long conferencee with Senator Bourne, Attorney General Bonaparte has directed District Attorney Bristol to make a thorough investigation into the Southern Pacific grant, more prop erly known as the Oregon Central and Oregon A California grant. The government w ill first determine whether the law under which the grants were made can be enforced with- out fuither action on tbe port of con gress. I f it is concluded that there ia ample law, the government w ill then determine what is the most practicable method of enfoicing its piovisions un less it ehall be found that the grant was forfeited. From his talks with Mr. Bourne, the attorney general is fully aware of the difficulties oi the problem he has an dertaken to solve, and has directed District Attorney Nathan V. Harlan, of the third division of Alaska, to report to Mr. Bristol and aid him in every way in his investigations. Mr. Harlan was in Nebraska on leave and deeired employment before the expiration of his leave. Later on, it is understood, the de partment w ill investigate to determine whether or not sa lee heretofore made by the railroad in violation of the pro visions of the law can be invalidated. A t preeent, however, the main object is to force the Southern Pacific to put its land on the market and no longer re tard development along the line of its road. W AN T C O A L SECURED. Railroads Dread Another Famine and Want Dealers to Stock Up Chicago, May I . — The traffio and operating departments of the Harriman and H ill lines have united in a strenu ous effort to pievent a recurrence of .a coal famine next winter tn tbe West and Northwest. Orders have been is sued by tbe highest officials ol the vail- ous roads and bave tbe sanction of E. H. Hatriman and James J. H ill, re quiring all of tbe officials to make every effort to inducts the coal dealers to fey in their winter's supply in tbe summer months. The officials of the railroad dread an other such coal famine as occurred last winter, when they were blamed for the suffering and destitution which reigned in the West and Northwest for many weeks. A t that time the Interstate Commerce commission took the prob lem In band and issued ordeis which required the H ill ruuds to discontinue all other traffic until they succeeded in getting coal to the suffering people along their linee. This proved an ex pensive operation and the railroads do not want a recurrence. Accordingly a personal canvas is be ing made in all tbe cities, and coal dealers are being personally urged to co operate with tbe railroads in placing tbe western country beyond the poesi- bility of another coal famine.
