BOISE, Ida, Feb. 27.-There was a
Governor Gooding and Special Prose
cutor Hawley The latter objected to
the governors statement given to the
press yesterday and the report is cur
rent that he threatened to withdraw
from the prosecution.
The attorneys for the defense are
busy in the effort to have their clients
removed from the penitentiary to the
county Jail at Caldwell. Attorney
Nugent says that the prisoners are
not accorded even the liberty enjoyed
by convicts. They are not allowed to
write. letters to their families or receive
letters or papers. Their cells are so
cold that they have to lie in bed all
day to keep warm. They. are not al
lowed to change their socks or under
wear. ST. John has been in solitary
allowed a towel, a piece of soap or a
comb. None of the prisoners are al
lowed to take proper exercise.
Prosecuting Attorney Vanduyn states
that the grand jury will not reach the
Steunenberg cases until Thursday. No
witnesses have been summoned so far
and the belief is that none will be in

At Washington, D. c., yesterday af-

ence, Senators Ankeny and Piles de-
cided upon the persons to be recon-
mended to President Roosevelt for ap-
pointment to several federal offices in
the state of Washington. Late in the
afternoon they sent to the president
the following recommendations:
Andrew Gillis, Walla Walla, at pres

Walla land office.

Great Surprise.
When the news of the action taken
by the Washington senators was made
public in Walla Walla today it proved
a great surprise to the politicians and
citizens in general Great interest had
been taken in the fight that was being
made against the reappointment of
Joseph L. Mohundro, the present reg
lister of the land office, and it was gen
orally supposed that Senators Ankeny
and Piles would choose between Mo-
hundro, or Jesse G. Miller, of Dayton,
who was Mr.. Mohundros strongest op-
ponent.
Except to a few politicians who were
on the inside, no intimation- was made
that Gillis was being considered n
connection with the office, and ,conse-
quently his appointment came as a big
surprise to nearly every one Gillis
himself was not aware that he was
announcement that he had been recon-
mended for register was equally a
great surprise to him.
The political enemies of Mohundro
who worked overtime in their effort tC
prevent a recommendation for re
appointment We're highly elated today
and were about the streets today con
graduating each other. The friend:
of Mohundro, who We're equally as ac
tive in their work for his reappoint
ment, are naturally feeling much dis
appointment over the rundown of the
present register.

Miller, who has been recommended
for the receivership, was backed fol
the registership very strongly by Will

Pomeroy, and DR.. Y. C. Blalock, o
Walla Walla. They worked day an,
night in securing endorsements TO
their candidate and all along have ex
pressed great confidence in their abil
