The trial Of Sidney Sloane on
The charge of numbering his father,
James F. Sloane, by beating him
over the head with an ak, began
this morning before Judge Huneke
In the school superintendent
room at the county court house,
the largest apartment available.
Probably 800 spectators are pres
ent, one third of whom are women.
Sidney Sloane sat to the right Of
his heavily yelled motehr, neatly
dressed and debonair, in black
suit of the latest cut.
His face bore the glow Of his
II years, and did not show the
usual pallor of close confinement
in the county Jail. He challenged
court, attorneys and jurors with a
fearless glance, and seemed not
the least uneasy under the terrible
charge on which he Is to be tried.
The following names were drawn
from the jury panel: ]. o. Jones,
l. d. Saunders, George Latshaw, j..
w. Frodsham, w. Hustead, j. W..
Bean, c. E. Rinear, J. T. Crewd-
son, H. B. Ferris, J. Hopper, e. E.
Deffenbeck and J. r. Mallory.
The entire morning was devoted
10 the examination of Jones, who
said he had already formed an
opinion as to the boys guilt, but
should the evidence develop no
grounds for such a blief, he would
not be guided by the opinion al
ready formed.
Prosecutor Barnhart, after the
examination, offered to pass this
Juror because it was difficult to
find any one who had not formed
n belief. Counsel Robertson, for
the defense, said that the man had
already admitted he had formed
an opinion and was therefore dis
qualified The slowness Of the
start makes 1t appear as though it
will take all week to get jury.
Attorneys for the state are r.

Fred Pugh; for the defense, Fred

An outlet to the Orient on the

the dissolution of the famous

the Northern Securities defeating
Hills plans for the merging of the
northern roads he controlled. Pre-

GRAFT WITNESS
HAS VANISHED

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-I.
V. Halsey, assistant general man
ager of the Pacific States Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co., has dis
appeared. The officers of the COM
pany profess to be in utter ignor-
ance of his whereabouts. At his
home the same reticence is main
tanned. Halsey is suspected Of
having paid certain sums to the
board of supervisors in order to
insure favors to his company.
Whether he has dropped from view
in order to avoid being a witness
before the grand jury or whether
he has been induced to tell Heney
all and is being protected by con-
cealment is question not yet
solved.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE

Increase of wages, aggregating

Railroad men watching the Erie

weak all day. The electrification
OF the big system is known to be
one of the reasons behind the de-

Grievance committees of engi-

with Stone, head OF the engineers,
to discuss the situation. 1t is un-

Pacific av., who some weeks ago
was robbed of jewelry among

little hopes of arresting the thief

The Columbia river section is
the strategic point. Many pitched
battles have been fought here in
the efforts made to retard the

It is still nip and tuck. The
