FIGHTING EVERY INCH.
Attorneys for wardner Miners Leave No
Stone Unturned.

Wallace. Idaho, June 26-The de-
fense to-day filed an affidavit charging
prejudice against the defendants on the
part of Acting Sheriff France and four
of his deputies, objecting to the APP
pointment of either as elsor to summon
juries They all objected to the open
venire, claiming the jury should be
called from the regular jury panel.
The court overruled the last objection
and the defense asked time to file a
counter affidavit regarding Deputy
Angus Sutherland, the court having
signified it's intention to appoint him
elisor unless cause was shown to pre-
vent.
The defense then moved to quash ci-
tations to the county commissioners,
claiming the charges were criminal, the
constitution and the statutes requiring
them to be preferred by indictment or
presentment by grand jury or by in
formation filed by the county attorney,
whereas these charges comes from the
attorney general appearing as private
citizen; also that the crime must be
charged from knowledge and not sim
ply information and belief.
The defense asked for time to prepare
a further affidavit showing cause why
Deputy Angus Sutherland should not
be appointed elisor. Judge Stewart
said he thought the defense had made
the case, but they argued that tney
had no suspicion that Sutherland's ap-
pointment was contemplated. The judge
further said that charges of prejudice
must be specific; defendants could al
lege prejudice against men as fast as
they could be named, but l under
stand that the elisor is appointed by
the court-not by the defendant"
Finally the matter went over until
morning, the defense being allowed to
produce affidavits from parties other
than defendants After a long argu-
ment the motion to quash the citation
wa soverruled.
The defense then offered a motion to
quash the information, which met the
same fate. Then they filed a demurrer.
argument on which occupied nearly the
whole afternoon, judgment being re-
served until tomorrow.
The real contention of the defense
was that the action was criminal,
rather than civil, and that the action
was improperly brought, but the court
overruled the point.
The prisoners at Wardner TODAY
voted on the question of giving bail de-
Gliding by vote of 81 to not to give
bail.

Americas proposal for the Protection of
Property at Sea.
The Hague, June 26.-Frederick Hollis,
secretary of the American delegation
to the peace conference, referring in
conversation with representative of
the associated press to the proposals of
the United States for the protection of
private property at sea, with the excep-
ton of contraband of war in time of
war, said
I'VE have strong grounds for maxi
ing the propositions. The president un-
derstood the Russian invitation COM
prised the question of private property
at sea and has instructed us to raise
the question. We will push the matter
energetically, insisting that the con-
ference is competent and that if it's
competency is doubtful a liberal inter-
probation was necessary. We believe
that if the proposals are rejected they
will be referred to another conference
Anyhow they will have been most use
full, as the attitude of each power will
be defined The state department has
sent us a very strong pamphlet con-
tanning resolutions passed by many
cities of the United States which has
been handed to each delegate"

HARMLESS DEMONSTRATION.
Socialists Were Dispersed by the Police
at Brest


Brest June 26-The French first
class cruiser Tage. which put to sea
Sunday evening, the belief being that
she was going to meet the Sfax hav-
ing Captain Dreyfus on board, re-
turned here at o'clock this evening.
Some sailors of the Tage who landed
later said she had not met the Sfax.
She encountered fog and released her
carrier pigeons about IL leagues out at
sea, after which she returned to port.
Another Dreyfusard meeting, organ
ized by socialists, was announced for
this evening in the calle du Trellis
here. Circulars have been distributed
during the day. calling upon the people
of Brest to defend their liberties
gained at the expense of the four revo-
lutions,' and to prevent the supreme
shame to humanity of the condemna-
ton of an innocent man."
The police took stringent precautions
to prevent trouble, detachments of gen
d'armes being located in the houses In
the vicinity, and the regular police,
which were also stationed about the
place. doubtless gave the proprietor of
the hall hint, because when the or
ganizers of the meeting arrived at the
hall at $50 o'clock, headed by local
anarchist leader named Brousseou-
teaux. the proprietor withdrew permis-
sion for the meeting, and hot alterca-
ton, without result, enSued, Finally
Brousseouteaux and his friends de-
clared their intention of creating
demonstration in the streets and called
upon their supporters to follow them.
The commissary of police, who was
present at the alteration, Immediately
ordered 40 gen d'armes to Gordon the
streets and cut off communication with
the center of the town. There was much
talk, but. up to the time of filing this
dispatch, there was no disorder.
An hour or SO later a crowd of some
500 made long detour and flocked to
the town by another route. They were
joined by all the loafers in Brest They
overran the whole place, shouting "A
bas Farme," ''Vive ,Loubet," ''Viye
Dreyfus" and "Vive la Social Revolu-
ton" Such demonstration had never
been heard of before in Brest. whose
population was at first thrown into a
state of CONSERVATION. but the demon
stration soon became farcical. AS soon
as the crowd met fex police, headed
by police commissary with the tri-
color scarf around his waist, it dis
persed and before 10:30 o'clock the
streets were quite calm except for a
few ragamuffins singing .aThe Marsel-
laise" and The Carmagnole" out of the
hearing of the police. The latter only
arrested four and these will probably
be released tonight

of their boat as they came under the
bridge being just even with the stern

the mile and a half point was passed
was between Columbia and Cornell,
with some chance for Columbia if they
worked hard.
Just after passing the point the
Pennsylvania boat seemed to lose pow
er and dropped rapidly astern as the
Columbia stroke hit it up to "a in an
endeavor to close up the gap between
Cornelfs boat and theirs. Cornell re-
sponded with a stroke of 36, and in
stead of closing it up much, it was per-
fectly evident to those who watched
them there was a lot of reserve force
in the Cornell boat and. that they could
hold the Columbia boat where they
pleased Columbia went away from
Pennsylvania although the latter was
rolling a stroke of Sc.
Amid the footing of whistles and the
cheers of the Cornell contingent. the

fusing to entertain a motion to lay 1t

The disorder continued without inter
ruption until after 5 O'Clock when the
Goebel men hit upon the plan to have
the county chairmen to come to the
stage and cast the votes of their dele
gates. This set their frenzied oppo-
nents beside themselves with anger,
but the roll call proceeded the awful
din increasing all the while. County
chairmen came to the stage and the
clerk had to lean over to very c'ose
range to catch word that was said
The Hardin men and many Stone dele
gates did not vote. After half an hour
of the hardest kind of work. the ballot
was finished and announced as follows:
Goebel, 3521a; Stone, 2611a; Hardin, 81.
The chair ordered new ballots, where
upon Ollie James, a big-lunged Stone
leader, cried: "All Hardin and Stone
men refuse to vote The Goebelists
responded defiantly, and sure enough
they did not and predictions that has
been made that the weakness of Hardin

verified The last ballot resulted: Goe-
bel, 32S: Stone, 275; Hardin, SO.
BY agreement between the candidates
the convention then adjourned until 10
O'Clock tomorrow.

TO PREVENT EXTRADlTION.
Sylvester's Friends Are Making a Strong
Fight for Him.

Seattle, Wash. June ga determined
effort is being made to prevent the extra
dition of S. A. Sylvester. who is wanted
in North Dakota to answer the charge of
embezzement. few days ago the state
supreme court denied the application of
Sylvester for writ of habeas corpus and
ordered him turned over to the North Da
kota officials. To-day he appealed to
United States District Judge Hanford for
writ of habeas corpus. Final decision
in the matter was postponed until Thurs
day but an important point in the inter-
state extradition law was construed by
Judge Hanford who holds that the federal
court at least. is entitled to an eXamina-
ton of the extradtion papers submitted
by the demanding state and by implication
has also the power to review the govern
or's action in issuing the extradition war
rant.
