Miners ARE
LEGALLY Held

Washington, Dec. 4.-The federal
supreme court has denied the hapeas
corpus of Meyer, Haywood and Petit
pone, the representatives of the West
ern Federation of Miners, who are now
held in prison in Idaho on the charge
of completely in the murder of ex-Gov-
ernor Steunenerg, adversely to the men.
The opinion was Ply Justice Harlan.
The effect of the decision will pc to
contiue to hold the men for trial in
Idaho.
OF the men involved, Charles H.
Meyer is president; w. D. Haywood
secretary treasurer, and George A. Pet
tibone, a memer of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners. They are now in pris-
on at Boise, Idaho, under a charge OF
numbering Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg of that state, although it was not
charged that they were present when
the crime was committed. The cases
came to this court on an appeal from
decision of the Idaho federal court
refusing to grant writs of habeas cor
pus. The milan point was the method

jurisdiction over the men. All of then
are residents of Colorado and it was al
legged ON behalf of Meyer and his asso
ciates that they were kidnapped in pur
suance of a conspiracy to which tn
governor of Colorado and the ldah'
authorities were parties, and henc
that jurisdiction was acquired b,
fraud.
Justice Harlan said that in the ha
beas corpus in fedeI al courts the meth
cd of extradtiion of the defendants wa
not material. The merits of the case
were not involved, as that phase wa
not presented. The only question in
volved was the right of to state court
to proceed with the cases.
Justice McKenna delivered dissent
ing opinion holding that Meyer, Hey
wood and Pettibone had a right to il
vokr the aid of the federal courts
correct improper methods used in 81
curing their extradihon. He said this
kidnapping under the law is no more
be justified than when performed on

IDAHO NEWS.

Senator Hepburn, at the opening of
the session, will introduce bill Great
ing United States land courts in each
public land state, to which appeal may
be taken from any final decision by re-
gistrar and receiver in regard to the
right to enter public lands.
From this land court an appeal will
lie to a national land court sitting at
Washington, and consisting of three
Judges. This will relieve the general
land Office and the interior department
of deciding legal controversies affect
ing the entry of public lands, and will
greatly relieve the pressure, expense
and delay incident to such contests, and
secure a high class of judges appointed
for their special fitness and ability to
handle such cases and whose decisions
will command the utmost respect and
confidence.

ALL THE WEST SHORT OF FUEL.
A Single Heavy Snow May Preclpltate
Calamity.

Denver, Col, Dec. 4.-With winter
at hand and more or less serious rail-
road blockades threatened at any
Missouri river and almost from the
Canadian border to the Rio Grande,
is running literally on little more than
a handful of coal At hardly any city
in the west is there more than one or
two days supply of fuel on hand.
Many manufacturing industries have
actually been compelled to suspend
business for lack of coal The supply.
even for the peoples homes, may be
cut off with the first severe storm.
With a single heavy snow positive
danger will take the place of incon-
venience.
Managers of the transportation and
coal companies attribute the condition
to the country's unprecedented growth
and to the enormous demands upol
them. Having delayed too long, they
are bending every energy to replenish
the fuel supply.
The consumers generally do not ac
cept this explanation. They say the
trouble is due to the clutch of mo
nopoly on the mines of Wyoming
Utah, Colorado and other western
states. In proof of this assertion the!
point to the disclosures before thu
interstate commerce commission, dur
ing last weeks hearing at Salt LAX
City.
It is estimated that the fuel suppl,
would be ample but for the seizure o
all valuable coal properties along tn
railroad rights of way and to the chez
put by heavy freight charges on de
= velopment by Independent firms.

Havana, Dec. By a decree to be
issued soon under specific authority
of the president of the United States,
the seats of members of the Cuban
congress elected in 1905 will be de-
clared vacant"
This was the announcement by Gov
ernor Magoon to 25 senators and mem
bers of the house of representatives
whom he had invited to attend con-
ference in the palace. After review
ing all the facts developed by the
peace commission sent to Cuba by
President Roosevelt in response to
President Palma's appeal for interven-
ton, Governor Magoon called the at
tention of the members to the fact
that the determination as to the sta
tus of the congress had been reserved
by the peace commission for consid-
Grafton at Washington. He then com
municated to them the final determine
ton of President Roosevelt that the
seats of all the senators and repre-
senatives elected in 1906 shall be con-
sidered vacant from October !, 1906,
the vacancies thereby created being
filled by an election under the provis-
ional government in accordance with
the proclamation of Governor Taft,
September 20.
Governor Magoon explained to the
members of congress that he consid-
cred it only fair and courteous to sub
NIT to them the terms OF the decree
prior to it's formal PRONUNCIATION so
that they might decide what attitude
they desired to assume. After all the
facts had been placed before them Sen
ator Dolz and Tamyao expressed their
appreciation of the courtesy in behalf
of their colleagues and the conference
then adjourned.
General Ruis Rivera, formerly sec
rotary of the interior, says that he
: realized the decree merely carried out
an obligation of interest to the peace
commission, but he greatly deplored
it, believing its effect would be disas
trous. He said he was firm in the be
. lief that the only means of establish
y ing peaceful conditions consists in th'
election of an entirely new congress
. whereas the proposed election which
would result in turning over the gov
:, eminent to the LIBERALS, would surel!
~ result in a new ilsurrection the mo
ment the Americ n troops were with
drawn from tie island. The fact was
said General Rivera, the United State
had ignored this which was patent t
all Cubans and pointed Irresistible U
o. the conclusion that if the Unite
States withdrew it would be with tn
A. full recognition of the necessity for
speedy return and the consequent e'
N tinction of Cuban independence.

CONFIDENCE IN ROOSEVELT.
Japan Is Not Worrying About San
Francisco Middle.

Washington, Dec. 4.-"Japan has
every confidence that President Roose-
welt will adjust the Japanese-California
school controversy entirely to the sat
isfaction of both nations. Feeling this
confidence, japanese ceased to be agi-
tated over the situation. The Japanese
newspapers are emphatically moderate
in all their notices of the affair and
so far as the Japanese nation is con
cerned, there is absolutely no reason
for the revival of the newspaper no
toriety in this country"
The Associated Press was today au
thorized to quote the Japanese embas
sy as above. 1t was further said that
there were no new developments IN
the situation of any kind; that the mat
ter was in the hands of the presideni

TEXAS TRAIN is ROBBED.
Express Messenger Beaten and Hurled
Off Train.

Redwater, Tex, Dec. 3.-The express
car attached to train No. 4 of the Cot
ton Belt route. was robbed and Ex-
press Messenger w. A. Grissip hurled
from the moving train after having
been beaten and badly wounded by the
robbers. The robbery, it is believed,
occurred about a mile from this place,
but was not discovered until the train
reached Eylau, the next stop. The ex-
press messenger was found beside the
track, badly hurt, and showed indica-
lions of desperate fight. The robbers
escaped.
That the robbery was successful is
evident so far as hasty inspection OF
the car and it's contents would indicate
but the amount stolen is not known.
At Eylau Conductor Blair, who was
| in charge of the train, saw that the
door of the express car had beer
forced, and on entering found it splat
tered with blood, the messenger miss
ing and the car bearing every appear
ance of having been looted. The tran
men were sent back on hand cars ant
Grissip was found. While he is badl.
hurt, it is not believed that his injurie
will prove fatal.

WORK OF ARMED mob.
BURNED TOBACCO PLANTS AT
PRINCETON, KENTUCKY.
Loss Is Estimated at $17o,ooo-Mob
Numbered About 800 Men-seized
and Disarmed Night Waterman,
Then Applied the Torch-Forced
Firemen Away.

Louisville, KY, Dec. ga special
from Princeton, KY, says: The to-
bacco stemmeries of John Steger and
John G. Orr, the latter controlled by
the Imperial Tosacco company of New
York, were destroyed by fire, kindled
by mob of masked men. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.
The mob, which numbered about 300
men, entered Princeton between one
and two O'Clock, seized the night mar
shall and disarmed him. They then
went to the factory and quickly APP
piled the torch.
The masked men stood on guard,
permitting nobody to come near while
the buildings were enveloped in flames
and help was useless. A squad of the
mob took charge of the telephone Of
fee and no word of the affair was per-
mitted to go out.
When the mob saw that the fire was
beyond control they left the town, 60
ing in the direction Of Hopkinsville,
discharging revolvers and rifles as
they departed. When the fire depart
ment arrived it could do nothing more
than prevent the fire from destroying
buildings in the vicinity. The Steger
stemmery was located on the south
side of town on the Illinois Central
railroad and the Orr building in the
northern part of town.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff company and Mr.
20 fh n
concern. Mr.. Orr is the agent of the
Imperial company. There were abou
100000 pounds of tobacco in eacl
warehouse and all of it was burned
The mob, in addition to disarmini
the night policeman, took charge
the station and the waterworks. Evel
had the fire company responded the.

The work of the mob is believed t.
be only a furtherance of the agits
ton by the tobacco raisers agains

of farmers is known as the Dark TC
