Murder Suspects In Court.

BOISE, March 9.-Charles H. Meyer,
William D. Haywood and George
Pettibone were arraigned this fore.
noon before District Judge Frank
Smith at Caldwell, under indictments
charging them with the murder of ex
Governor Frank Steunenberg, in that
city on the night of December 30, last.
On motion of counsel for the pris.
oners, who asked for time to prepare
motion to quash the indictments,
further proceedings under the indict-
ments were postponed until next Fri
day, when the defendants again will
be brought into court to enter their
pleas.
Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone and
~ ack" Simpkins are indicted jointly
being charged with having murdered
Frank Steunenberg. There is in the
indictment no mention of the Western
Federation of Miners. nor any charge
OF conspiracy. So far as the indict.
ment shows, each is accused of having
personally participated in the crime
charged.
The Indictment contains three
counts, all of similar nature. The
gist of the charges is that the accused
men placed a deadly box or bomb,
filled with giant powder, caps, sui.
phuric acid, and other explosives at
the gate OF Frank Steunenberg's resi-.
dence with the intention OF killing him
One count charges the actual murder
ing OF Steunenberg by causing the
bomb to explode as Steunenberg was
entering his yard. The names of
twenty witnesses, including Harry
Orchard, who has confessed to his
part in the crime, are indorsed on the
Indictment.

The battle was fought under the

Mount Bajo is 2,lOO feet high. The
mountain is surrounded by lava lodges

for the artillery to operate. The can.

DENATURED ALCOHOL.


 There is every reason to believe that cheap alcohol will be of incalculabIe benefit to the American people in many ways. but there should be no further use of the following statement which We quote from a publication of good standing
 Wherever exists potato patch. a beet field or a grain field. there exists the elements which enter into it (aIco- hob Consequently any farmer may make alcohol from the raw material at hand with the simple and compar- atively inexpensive appliances needed to extract the spirit and distiu it to the proper consistency"
 This is a misleading and possibly a trouble making statement. The farmer who essays the production of alcohol from the raw material at hand" will find himself in an interesting ''mixup" with the internal revenue officers. The penitentiary opens its hospitable doors to those who operate stills. either large or small, without a special license rom the government. The product of dlStiIleries must, under the law. go into warehouses from which it is released only under certain specified conditions The notion that the bill passed by con gress last spring makes it possible for every man to run a simple and com paratively inexpensive" distillery for the production of cheap alcohol is en- tirely erroneous.
 Cheap alcohol promises to become an important factor in the economy of the American home and in American in dustrles but it is not well to circulate false ideas about its manufacture It T f T-,, ethyl alcohol can be made from corn, beets, potatoes. mOlasses and various other substances. It Is a matter of common belief that it can be produced In this country from those substances at prices that will bring it into sue cessful competition with the oils de rived from petroleum. There is a wide difference of opinion among authorities and experts regarding the cost of the denatured article the hest system Of rendering proof alcohol non-potabIe. and the relative value of alcohol and gasoline for power purposes. Although it promises much. the use of alcohol for light. heat and power is still in the experimental stage
 Inventors, mechanics and chemists are busily engaged in efforts to dis cover the most effective and most economical ways in which this ma terIaI may be used as a source of light. heat and power; but the farmer will not be free to make his own alcohol from his own corn and potatoes. The manufacture of alcohol will be an ex- tensive Industry in which a large sum of money will be invested. The scope and the possibilities of the product re- main for determination by practical experience with it-NeW York Sun.

reason that until that time so much depends on the weather. They are not fearful of any ordinary rise in the rlV- CT. for any ordinary flood will be dis posed of by the sluicin@ tunnel The flood of Tuesday night was unusually large. but could scarcely be considered extraordinary. and on all such occa- sions 1t is their intention. if the water fills the excavation, to permit the ma ch.rery to Jc submerged as the water will not materially injure it. and the excavation can be quickly pumped out again. Tn the event of a continuous heavy rain for several days. that indi- cates a lasting hood of large propor- tions, they will remove the machinery with the cables. but the weather Tues day did not warrant such a fear. About the only thing they cannot guard against is cl0udburst which might happen any time. but which it is hoped will not happen. Tn such a contin- gency a flood of many feet in depth might sweep the channel clear but such an event is not anticipated. and the chance of it will have to be taken.
 The excavation is now within ap- DroXimately six feet of bedrock and a core of a few feet in depth will have to be blasted from the bedrock. to tie the foundation tO it. That will take some time. perhaps. but once it is accom- plished there will be as large a force on hand to lay the foundation as can be worked to advantage, and from that time on the work of construction will be pushed will all possible speed. Mr. O'Rourke says that unless something occurs ,c cannot now foresee. he be- heves he will after the foundation is in. finish the construction Of the dam much more quickly than any one has yet imagined. And that will suit the people of this valley better than any thing else in the world

ROOSEVELT FLOOD
 NO SERIOUS RESULTS
Sheet PiIing Stood the Test--River
 Returns tO Normal Flow.

The best news that this valley has had for q long time camc yesterday in telephone advices from Roosevelt. that the river began falling rapidly before midnight Of Tuesday. that the sheet piliHS in the comer dams had withstood the enc. nous pressure, and that the impending calamity of the night before had been averJcd.
 l.. C. Hill. who arrived from Cali fornia on the morning train. at once placed himself in communication with the Roosevelt office or the reclamation service and was advised of this good news and with the further information that the hydraulic excavator was at work, and there will be only four or five days delay in the work of the contractors, and practically no other expense except the repairing of the coffer dams.
 Contractor J. M. ORourke arrived here yesterday from Roosevelt en route to California, where he expects 10 spend about three weeks with his family. having been at Roosevelt ever since last March. He was seen at the Hotel Adams last evening and asked for information concerning the events of the preceding twenty-four hours and the general conditions at the dam site. MI. OROurke said he left Roose- welt at 9 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The water was then pretty high, but not as high as 1t was a few weeks ago, when it ran over the coffer dam about six inches deep for a little while, but fell again before any damage was done. As soon as he heard the news yesterday morning he telephoned to his partner Mir Steinmetz, who is in 4il il1g t4F I1H f1.Y
 MT. Steinmetz said the water had washed out a channel about six feet deep and forty feet wide in the upper coffer dam. which of course. will have to be repaired. but the sheet piling in both dams had stood firmly and the machinery, though submerged. was practically uninjured. The hydraulic elevator had never stopped working. and the derricks, it is believed. are un- injured. The delay. therefore, will only be the time necessary to pump out and hoist out the water and debris that have accumulated in the excavation, which is now about twenty-five feet deep. Beside the hydraulic elevator. there were two large derricks and two electric pumps submerged. The latter it is expected, will be accessible today and will be started again at once
 Concerning general conditions. MT. O'Rourke said the situation is as sat isfactory as it can be. The contractors have ample machinery. made expressly for their work, and have always kept in their employ even more men than they needed for the sole purpose of having them just when they need them They propose to take advantage of ev- cry opportunity for rushing the work and have equipped themselves to that end. These opportunities. of coul SC. cannot rapidly develop until after the foundation of the dam Is in, for the

WORD FROM ROOSEVELT

Word was received from Roosevelt Wednesday evening that the coffer dams reported to have been damaged by a flood of Salt river remained prac- ucally intact. and the damage done to the work of the contractor in the river is very slight. On account of the sud den fall of the river Tuesday night. the water which had been running over the cofier dams returned to it's former level and by morning it was apparent that little or flo real damage had been done. Many reports of a harmful and dis quieting nature have gone out from here in the last twenty-four hours. to the effect that the entire work of Con tractor O'Roulke in the river had been swept away. But these reports must be authoritativelv denied as such is not the case. The water ran over the top of both coffer dams for only a few hours through the evening and the only damage done was the washing of a small quantity of loose matter into the space between the dams To put the occurred will be only matter of a few days al the most, as the contractor has a big gang at work on the job today.
