houses of the legislature organized to-
day, Senator Warden, rep, being chosen
president pro tenn of the senate and L.
Q. Sherman speaker of the lower house.
The street railway franchise fight began
at the first session. three bills on the
subject being introduced to-day.
Governor Tanner devoted the greater
part of his message to a discussion of
the state issues. He referred at length
to the much discussed Allen street rail-
way franchise law and said that more
legislation on the subject is necessary.
The street railways, he said, should pay
their full share of the taxes according
to value and there should be reason

riots at Pana and Virden, the governor
said that the over production of the

the trouble. He recommended an
amendment to the present arbitration

the contending forces to submit their
grievances to an arbitration board.

He SAID JONES SHOT HIM
sTOUTT INSISTS THAT THE CASHIER
ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Differences of Opinion Relative t,
Bank Manasement-Jones Had
Made Threats.

Salt Lake, Jan. 4.-The preliminary
hearing of A. B. Jones, cashier of the
Utah National bank, charged with the
shooting of Banker j. NJ Stout on the
night of December 8, was begun this af-
ternoon before Justice McMasters
Stout, though not fully recovered from
his wounds, was present and testified
positively that Jones shot him. He
said Jones was within three feet of
him, and that he could not be mis-
taken in the identity of the man. He
said the bad feeling" between Jones
and himself started last June, owing to
differences of opinion in business mat
ters in the bank. He said Jones had
overdraWn his account in the bank and
he took the matter up. He said the
breach then grew wider, one thing
brought on another; the bank examiner
came, and later his resignation. was
asked for. He said that before retiring
he told Jones he proposed to tell the
bank officials what kind of a man they
had to deal with. He testified that
Jones then said: eff you tell them
what You say you will l will shoot
you, as sure as your name is Stout"

animation had not shaken his testi-

Division of the Spoils in Idaho-Sepators
Hale and Davis Rsnominated-The
Street Railway Fight in the
Illinois Legislature.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan 4.-The republi-
can senators and representatives who
signed the pledge not to take part in
last nights senatorial caucus organized
to-day to keep up the fight against
Quay until after the supreme court has
disposed of the Peoples bank conspiracy
case. A committee was appointed to
take charge of the work of organization.
The committee issued an address in
which they state:
Our present attitude is prompt
ed by what we believe to be the best in
terest OF our party and state. We be-
lieve that a republican senator should
and Will be elected and that no combin-
alton of circumstances can prevent it.
We believe that the unquestioned senti-
ment of the republicans Of the common
wealth is against taking action that
might result in the election of a person
as United States senator who is charged
with crime before his innocence is es-
tabIshed IN a court of justice and that
the failure to determine that question
prior to that time is due to the act of
the alleged caucus nominee in delaying
trials and not to any act of ours We
reel that in justice to the public and our
own sense of Seff-respect and duty we
are justified in refusing to be committed
to any proposition that might cast a
stigma upon our commonwealth and our
own Integrity as citizens and legislators
Feellng that we are sustained in our no
sition by the unbiased sentiment of the
state, we deem it unwise to vote for
any person for United States senator
who is duly charged with crime, so long
as these charges remain undetermined
We cannot Justify ourselves for voting
for any person for office who is indicted
Tor criminal offense and who simply al
leges that he Is the victim of political
conspiracy. We believe that the pub
lie, as we'll as ourselves, is not inter-
ested in the motives of the person maxi
ing the charges, but rather in the truth
or the falsity of these charges
entertaining these views, we submit
our action to the unprejudiced Judgment
of our fellow citizens =

WAS CYANIDE OF MERCURY
THE POISON WHICH KILLED MRS.
ADAMS ANALYZED.
Sender of Poison Must Have Reen a Chem
ist-Three Men Who Had Grudges
Against Cornish Suspected.

New York, Jan. 4.-The police have three
men under surveillance in connection with
the Adams-Cornish poisoning, and would
have arrested one or all of them had it
not been for the fact that none of these
suspects has a light beard.4 Miss Miller,
the saleswoman who sold the match hold
er in Newark is positive that the pur-
chaser had a light beard. 1t is said that
should the police discover that any of the
suspects purchased a false beard an ar
rest will Immediately follow, and that the
police would then believe that they had
a good chance to secure the conviction
of Mrs. Adams murderer.
Professor Witthaus, who has been ana
lyZing the contents of the bottle out of
which Mrs. Adams took the fatal dose
to-day made his report to the district at
torney. Professor Witthaus says definite
ly that the poison in the bottle sent to
Cornish was cyanide of mercury and that
he believes the sender of the poison must
have either been a chemist or one with
intimate knowledge of chemicals Pro-
fessor Witthaus also says that the bottle
containing the poison was not bromo-
seltzer one, though a label taken from
regular bromo-seltzer bottle had been
pasted over this bottle. All the suspects
are said to be men who had grudges
against Cornish.

Senator o. B. Olason of Gardiner was

Hale referred in eloquent terms to
his brother members of the Maine del
egation, and especially Speaker Reed
On the question Of expansion he said:
'On the question which, perhaps
to-day is occupying mems minds more
than any other. the question of what is
called expansion, there are two sides.
am not an eXpansionist. | dread the
annexation of territory thousands of
miles away, of a foreign people with no
habits and no life like ours. l dread
the effects. I am honest in that. l can
not, with my views, vote for any meas
ure or law, or whatever it may be, that
involves us in that. But if l am over
ruled and overborne by the majority it
is my business and my duty to submit
as party man and to make the best of
it. The republican party can be trusted.
If it has got to learn it will learn. If it
has got to go forward. it will go for
ward unitedly, If it has got to
take any back steps it is not
ashamed to take them. And no man
can tell now, in the present circum-
stances, with the great subjects that
are coming before US, what will be best.
That we have got to settle in the fu-
ture."
