SCHNEIDER AT THE COURT HOUSE
The Argument on the Motion for . New
Trial Postponed.

The Argument on the Motion for . New
Trial Postponed.
The announcement in TIE STAR that the
case Of Howard J. Schneider, convicted Of the
murder Of his wife, would be called up today
on the motions submitted for new trial and
| in arrest Of judgment had the effect Of crowd
ing the Criminal Court this morning with .
throng which completely filed the room. Al
during the days Of the trial, the fair sex COM
posed fully one-half Of the audience. The
throng was doomed to disappointment, how
ever, for Judge Wilson, after calling the atten-
ton Of the court to the case,
stated that 1t would be impossible
for him to argue the motions today and asked
that the case be postponed to day to be here
after agreed upon by him and the dis
trict attorney. His honor asserting, such an
order was made and the court room was
promptly deserted by the throng which had
gathered to hear the case. The district attor-
ney expects TO leave the city during the COM
ing week, to be gone several days, and it is
doubtful II the motions will be argued before
some time during the first week of next month.
How SCHNEIDER LOOKED.
Schneider was seen by STAR reporter in the
cage below the court room, and found to be
but wreck Of the Howard Schneider he was
during the trial. His conviction, judging alone
from his appearance this morning, has had
.erriDle euect upon MIN. Ills eyes were ouli,
his face was shrunken and wore q
deathly pallor. and his hands and the muscles
OF his face continuously twitched with extreme
nervousness. There was no need for him to
tell The STAR reporter that he felt badly That
was too evident His manner was that of
man utterly without hope, and the terrible
strain which he is undergoing is undoubtedly
undermining his health il not his mind.
Schneider was taken back to Jail in the prison
van in company with six or eight other prison.
ers, and large crowd gathered about the cage
and the court house door to see him. He was
not handcuffed, a. were the others, and as he
walked to the van he pulled his hat down over
his eyes and his overcoat collar up about his face
if to screen his face from the view of the
curious crowd

BIrrnR COMPLAINTS.

The War Department Censured for Its
Dilatory Tactics.
( WASHINGTON, July IA Bitter cof11A
plants have been received by the Idaho
senators here from representatives of
the mine owners in the Ceur d'Alene
region respecting the conduct of the
military in the disturbed district. They
cay the troops were held at point
twelve miles from the scene of the riot
ing until the best part of their property
had been destroyed, number of nom
union men-helpless and unarmed--
killed, and others driven from the mills
and out of the country, directly past the
soldiers sent there to protect them. The
senators have been requested to have
General Scho6eld instruct General Car
lin to surround the scene of trouble and
and prevent the escape of any of the
miners who participated in the rioting,
and deliver the guilty men to the legal
authorities. In conformity to this re-
quest, Senator Shoup has requested the
war department to order the arrest of
the miners by the troops.

CONGRESSIONAL INQUIRY.

Frick Again on the Stand-The Com
mittee Returns to Washington.
PITTsBURG, Pa, July 14.-The con-
gressional inquiry into the Homestead
trouble was completed today, so far as
this city is concerned. Today's evidence
elected little that was new. Manager
Frick declared the company asked for a
reduction of wages because the
reduction in the price of blooms,
billets and slabs, caused the
company to lose money on all OF the
output. The average cost in the coun-
try of producing steel billets is $24 per
ton, exclusive of the interest on the in
vestment. He declined to say what the
cost was at Homestead. Frick said the
Mckinley bill had nothing to do with
the proposed reduction in wages. Lower
prices of the product was the result of
over-production.
1t is stated that the committee will
make report of character to help the
passage of a compulsory arbitration law
and an anti-Pinkerton measure, both
now before congress.
At the conclusion of today's investi-
cation Chairman Oates announced that,
so far as the labor branch of the inquiry
was concerned, it has been concluded
The Pinkerton system will probably be
taken up elsewhere. The committee
leaves for Washington this evening anC
will submit report to congress early il
the week.

TROUBLES AT AN END.
State Authorities and Federal Tfoops 1
Possession of the field.

State Authorities and Federal Troops in
Possession of the field.
WASHINGTON, June l4.--Telegrams re-
ceived by Major General Schotield this
afternoon show that the labor troubles
in CGur 'Alene mining district are at
an end fpr the, present. The rioters
have dispersed and the state authori-
ties, aided by the federal troops, are in
full possession Of the field.
General Schofeld said tonight the
people who complained because the
soldiers had not arrested the rioters,
had very improper conception of the
position OF the troops in the matter
He explained that they were ordered
there merely to support the civil au-
thorities in the restorstion.of order and
were acting altogether under the orders
of the governor of the state. They had
no independent functions whatever, and
had absolutely nothing to do with any
disorders that may occur before their
arrival. 1t was the duty of the civil
authorities to enfore the law, and all
the troops could do was to protect them
in go doing,
