NO. tVDtNCt HELD BACK •flats Saving Importart Testimony In Haywood Casa. Boise, Idaho, June 23.- The clo« Ing of the case of the state leav«m the great twit tie again« aud for the life of William 1). Haywood in midfield, • nd from n«>w forward the aide« <hange the defendants assume th- aggressive, the prosecutors are on the defensive. The state will carry its case through an aggrv-astv« er «Ms- axamihation and then present test I mony In rebuttal, but'lta main prop- .»sltion and showing are already be fore the Jury. As to the Steuenberg crime, which is the one specifically charg’d against Haywood, the state has made the following «howlug. Jack Simpkins, member of the executive board of the Western F«-d- vration of Miners, wi nt to Caldwell three month« before Steunenberg waa murdered. He traveled under the assumed name of "Simons,** and lived with Orchard. He left Cald well at the end of a week's stay and later returned for n brief visit of 1«- m * than a day. Ills presence and move meats are shown by independent wle nt saes and the registers of hotel» where he stopped. Haywood sent 3100 to Simpkins on Dscetnber 21, 1905, nine days before ine murder of Steunenberg, and an unregistered letter, sent from D«»n ver on l>»eember 30 1905, and show Ing by its addreHH to "Thomas Ho gan," that the writer know the alias >t Hafry Orchard, contained th' statement that that" had been »ent to "Jack" on lhicinber 2 1, 1905 tlr ' hard testified that i'ettllmlie, one of Hay wood's io defendants, wrote the letter.

NLW KIND OF ELECTRIC LIGHT Made of Incandescent Air and Has Breathing Apparatus. Ixindon, June 23 - An entirely new and wonderful form of electric light Is now used to illuminate the courtyard Of the Savoy hotel, the great American rendezvous in Lon don. It is the invention of a young American, McFarlan Moore, who has perfected his system after 12 years' work. The light, which resembles day- light In color, is produced by mak ing rarefied air Incandescent by an alternating current of electricity, The air is contained In a vacuum tube. 200 f«4«»t long, with its eüd« meeting in a terminal box contaln- lug a motor-generator. This tube glows with a strong, steady light, but It would flicker and go out it the air was not constantly renewed by m automatic valve, by which it practically "breath«»« " When the resistance In the tube 1s lowered by the exhaustion of the air by electrical action, a minute cone of porous carbon la lifted automatically fr«>m the mercury In which ft rests, .«nd through this porous cone fresh ilr passes. As soon as the Interior resistance Is restored, the cone sinks again, and the covering of mercury prevents the entry of more air. Thus the supply of air is kept up by t h la novel breathing apparatus. Schmitz May Yat Gat Bail. San Francisco, June 23.—Some de cisIon by the District Court of Ap peals Is looked for soon In the ap plication of Mayor Schmits for re lease on ball by writ of habeas cor pus. Judge Hall Is out of town, but Judges Cooper and Kerrigan are In chambers. They have taken the mayor's application under advise ment. and It Is understo«»d, though not officially, that the writ will be granted This d<ws not necessarily mean that the mayor will be ad mitted to ball, but that his allega tion that he Is suffering from an In- rtirable disease, which may lie ren- dered fatal by confinement, entitles him to a fuller hearing before the court to determine Its merit.
