MURDER TRIALS TO Be HEIDI MAY
Suspects to Have Long
Wait Before Knowing Their
Fate-TriaI Judge Talks.

BOISE, March 23.-"It will be i'm
possible to state at this time when
the trials of Charles H. Meyer, Will
lam d. Haywood and George A. Petit
bone will commence" declared District
Judge Smith yesterday at Caldwell, to
a representative of the Statesman
but it is certain that the date of the
commencement of these trials will not
be previous to May 10.
Il cannot set an exact date for the
commencement of the trials until the
first day of the May term of court
here and probably not until the jury
for that term has been impannelled
l think, however, that the date will
be close to the middle of May"
In regard to the question of a change
OF venue an attorney for the prosecu-
ton stated yesterday that if a change
of venue was asked for by the attor-
neys for the defense, the matter would
be contested to a finish.
There is no county in the state OF
Idaho" declared the attorney, "where
the defendants could get a more fai,
trial than in Canyon county. They
have absolutely no grounds nor ex-
cuse for asking for a change of VEN
lie"

mo PASSES FOR CITY OFFICIALS
Seattie'e New Mayor Stops Council
men From Using Passes on
the Street Cars.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 23.-Mem-
bers of the city council and other city
officers will receive no free streetcar
transportation until Mayor Moore has
thoroughly threshed out the legal as
poets of the matter to his own salts
faction. The mayor is opposed to the
distribution of transportation cards as
the matter now stands.
He absolutely declined today to sign
the customary orders on the Seattle
Electric company that would have re-
suited in city officials receiving passes
good for free transportation during
their term of office. If the passes are
not issued the city treasurer will have
to pay out 5000 a month for streetcar
fare for the members of departments
travelling on official business.
The mayor will at once ask the opin-
ion of corporation counsel as to the
legally Of accepting free transporta-
ton. 1t is believed that the corporation
counsel, who is now deprived of a
pass, will declare the use of them per-
fectly legal. The city charter provides
that no official of the city shall &C
cept free transportation or passes OF
any kind. The franchise of the cleo
ialS shall be carried free of charge
when on official business.

COSTS MONEY TO REPAIR SHIPS
Nearly One Million Dollars Already
Expended on the Massachusetts,
MOT Ready for Sea.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, March 23-The
estimate of the cost of the work on
the battleship Massachusetts, in the
Brooklyn navy yard reaches nearly the
sum of $1,OOO.OOO, and it is expected
that nearly two years will be required
to install the improvements and make
the alterations recommended by t h.
board of survey, which has examined
the vessel carefully at the yard and
reported in full the needs of the ship in
the plan of undermining the equipment
battery, boilers, engines, etc.
Much interest has attached to this
project of the Massachusetts, espec-
tally as it has been sent to Brooklyn
at a time when the work of the YARD
is we'll nigh exhausted and there is nc
means of retaining the force of expert
workmen who have for some years
been engaged in the construction OF
the Connecticut The work on the
Massachusetts will be similar to that
authorized on board the Indiana, an6
something in the time and labor, OF
course, will be saved by utilizing the
plans and patterns covering the work
on the latter ship. Secretary Bona
parte may suggest that the item be in
oornorated in the regular apDrOpria tor
bill.

1t is conservatively estimated that
the property accumulated by Mrs La
Pine and her husband is worth S14,5Oo
The property was held in the nature OF
a partnership, and without the formal
ity of probate. Therefore at least half
of this property will be available TO
the defendant as security for her pono
and with which to pay the costs OF
her defense.
Should the motion for a new trlal
be denied as the result of the hearing
on April 20, there is little doubt that
the case will be appealed to the SUI
preme court.

hands and both feet.
Kearney started to walk from Chey-

his condition known. He became lost
in the blizzard and CROPPED about in
the binding snowstorm from Monday
until Thursday, suffering intense
agony from the cold and the pangs
of hunger.
He told the hospital authorities
that several times it seemed as if he
must sink down in the snow and per-

Citizens Object to Method Q
Awarding Paving Contracts
IGNORED THE INDEPENDENT COMPANY
SHUT OUT COMPETITIVE BIDDING
AND BARBER COMPANY
GETS THE JOB.

Amidst a storm of protest that took
form in cries of SHAME" stamping of
feet and many discordant sounds ex-
pressive of deep indignation by an
outraged public, the Ballard city coun-
Gil last evening awarded the Barber
Asphalt Paving company the contract
to pave Second avenue at a cost of
$4,000, entirely ignoring the bid of
the Independent Paving company,
which was $46,O11 1t was a remark
able demonstration, says the Seattle
Times.
Citizens threaten that if Mayor
Wiley does not veto the measure that
they will take the matter Of it's revo-
cation into the courts, refusing to
stand for an unnecessary outlay of
nearly $1,000, the difference in the bids.
But the initiative may be taken by the
offended company the Independent,
which indicated it's intention today to
apply for an injunction restraining
the council from awarding the con-
tract.
Council Chamber Crowded.
The plea on which the council ig-
nored the Independent company's bid
was that it had failed to submit a
sample of it's work with the bid, al
though this sample was turned in the
day after the bid was submitted three
weeks ago and the character of the
work done by the company is on ex
hibition on Second and Baltimore ave-
nues.
The council chamber was crowded
with citizens, interest in the affair
having been fired by the original an
nouncement of the proposed forcing
of the measure. One councilman de-
clared last week that he would pass
the contract, but the people talked too
much"
When Councilman Kean, leader of
the Barber forces, declared that he
had learned but a few hours before
that the Independent people would
make it worth while if they received
the contract" and that he would vote
to throw both bids out if the indie
pendent bid was favored. he was
greeted with Kisses, and M. A. Malloy,
real estate owner, remarked sarcas-
tically, "You evidently have made a
mistake in the companies"
Mr. Malloy has $4,000 invested in
Ballard properties, and he begged the
council not to award the contract to
the highest bidder, and threatened to
take the matter into the courts if they
did His remarks were listened to in
silence, but when Koran moved the
acceptance of the Barber bid men
jumped to their feet, yelling, kissing
and hooting Amid the pandemOnium
the motion was put and passed by a
4-3 vote.
Citizens Are Determined.
The council adjourned shortly after
ward, having disposed of considerable
| business before, and until the early
morning hours citizens stood about
street corners, or in hotels, discussing
| in indignant terms the overriding OF
! the public sentiment and the unneces-
sary expenditure of nearly $4,000.
The matter is now up to Mayor
Wiley, and the people are hopeful of
! a revocation of the order and a return
! to the proposition they originally made
! when they prayed for brick instead OF
! asphalt paving.

THE KEYNOTE OF THE CENTURY

Said President Eliot of Howard University in a
recent address;
"The great movement Of the world today is to-
ward democracy. The great keynote Of the present
century the century that we are just entering upon
will be democracy all things. One hundred years
fIon now the population Of our country, which is
now for the most part wilderness, will be beyond any
present conceptions and this great nation will be one
Of the most democratic that the world has ever known
The progress Of democracy will be the great feature Of
the advance of civilization in the present century If
this is to be sound the character of people must
BE- as sound their proficiency in the arts, in com
merce and in government"
President Eliot is a scholar and thinker whose
views command respect
And 50 it is true Dr.. Eliot, that this Western
democracy Of ours not going the way of so called
democracies Of antiquity Tia American democracy
is founded on an enduring basis3 And you would
calm our fears We are not worrying but some folks
and are glad you have treasured us.
After all the storm clouds that overspread] our
skies the strife of classes the war between cepal and
labor the onward march Of monopolistc combinations
the corruption Of courts councils and legislatures
all the thousand and ills Of the body polite de-
pcted by the magazine specialistafter all these are
10 pass away and Of pure democracy all thing
is to emerge.
President Eliot predicts that this will come to
pass within the present century. Perhaps be has al
lowed his optimism to sway the caImer judgment Of
a student. Marvellous transformations marked the
past century and more marvellous changes may be
expected during the coming century but the era Of
democracy in all things forctold by Or. Elliot pre-
supposes radical changes in individual character that
be wrought out by processes infinitely more ted
ious and prolonged than those which characterized the
