OFFICERS OF
 FEDERATION
Make Answer in HabedS
 Corpus Case
They Rely Upon the Circumstance That They Were Out of Idaho When SteunenbeTg was Killed.

Boise. March S.-Chas. H. Mover, Wm. D. Haywood and Geo. E. Petit bone have filed their answers in the supreme court to the return made by Warden Whitney of the penitentiary in the habeas corpus proceedings. They are practically identical, differing in some minor details respecting the movements of the accused during some months prior to the Steunenberg as sassination.
 Mover says he was on Feb 17 a citi- zen and resident of Denver and had been for four years; that he had not prior to the acts hereinafter set forth been in the state of Idaho nor in any part thereof, prior there to since on or about the 18th of October, 1905. that on, about the 2Sth of October, 1905, he en- tered Idaho from the state of Oregon on a railway train and remained in a car of said train until the town of Nampa in said state of Idaho was reached; that thereuPOn he changed cars and was immediately carried in a car to a point south of Nampa in the direction of Silver City; that at the end of the route he took a stage to Silver City, attended a lodge meeting of the organization of which he is q member, known as the local union of the Western Federation of Miners; that he remained in Silver City over

SUPREME TEST TODAY
Twenty Republican Senators Certainly Counted
 Against the House Statehood Bill
Possibility Thai Instead the
 he Extent of Striking Out

Councilman F. II. Greene called the city council together and a strong protest was forwarded There was also a great deal of quasi public and private activity. NJ. C. McDougaI visited the ministers of the city and secured telegrams from them protesting against the statehood bill without the Foraker amend ment. Dr. H. F. Stroud took the matter up also and secured tle protests of sixteen mmbers of the medical association. There will be no room for doubt in the senate this morning about the sentiment of Phoe- nix on the subject of jointUre.
 Phoenix has not been alone in this last appeal to the senate. Yesterday Dwight B. Heard prepared the fol- lowing message
 Send strong pull all together to se- cure votes tomorrow. Please have from ten to twenty rousing wires from rep resentative men and organized bodies commenting their fight sent to Sena- tors FOraker. McCumber, Patterson anad Newlands today, showing that people are unalterably opposed to jointure as ever"
 He telegraphed the foregoing to w. HBrophy Bisbee: Henry Ashurst Flagstaff; R. F. Morrison, Prescott; Nose Drachman. Tucson: J. J. Riggs, Wilcox, and F. L. Pirtle, Douglas. He telepnoned il To B. A. Packard at Tempe, and pr. A. J. Chandler, of Mesa.
 Mir. Heard received word last night from Messrs. Morrison and Ashurst that his request had been complied with. Nose Drachman replied that twenty messages had been sent from Tucson: MT. Packard said that eigh- had been sent from Tempe and Dr. Chandler said that Mesa had sent seven.
 The night before William P. Crump a former resident of West irgmia. and personally acquainted with Senator Elkins and Scott prepared telegrams 10 them. He had once been given a government position n Washington by Senator Elkins and he had recipro- cated as a delegate t0 the first nat ionai convention at which Mckinley was nominated by supporting Mr. El- kins for a place in the national com mittee. Mir. Crump had also prepared a telegram to Senator Flint.
 AIr. Crump's dispatches were as follows:
 Phoenix. March :. 1906. D

CONTRACT SYSTEM
 FOR HE CANAL
In the Opinion of the Expert That is
 the Best.

Washington. March S.-TIe cXamin- ation of Professor Wm. II. Burr of New York, formerly member of the isthmian canal commission anL mem ber of the board of consulting engi- neers appointed by President Roose- welt to report on the most feasible type for a canal across the isthmus of Panama, occupied all of today before the senate committee and will be re- sumed tomorrow.
 The examination for the day closed with testimony favoring the contract plan for constructing the waterway. IL was suggested by Senator Morgan that congress doubtless would have to pass upon the question of having the canal built by contractors and he ask ed the witness to give his views on lhdt subject
 "I think it will be best for the gov ernment as a whole if contractors do the work" said Professor Burr. He added that he would be of this opinion whether thc waterway were construct ed on the sea level or with locks. He expressed the opinion however. that the government should proceed with the work far enough to determine fair ly what would be a reasonable price tO pay for the work

Washington, March S-CSpeciaD- Twenty republican senators are eX- pected to vote for the Foraker amend ment, which will refer the question of statehood for Arizona and New Mex ico to a vote Of ine people of those ter ritories and il is even predicted that striking ou, all that part of the state hood bill that relates to these terri tories. and sending it back to the house providing for the admission only of Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory.
 The twenty republican senators reckoned as sure to vote gainst the committee bill are Flint, Perkins, Hep burn, Carter, Nixon, Hansbrough, Me Cumber, Clark of Wyoming, Gallinger Spooner, Scott, Foraker, Bulkeley, Pratt, Fulton, Burroughs. Alger, Depew Southerland and Clapp.
 Although no one is counting on Sen ator Burkett of Nebraska, it is not improbable that he will be in line for the FOraker amendment.
 Speaker Cannon reiterated today his determination not to permit any bill to pass the house that does not provide for two states and a bitter fight is ex- pected in conference as the house con ferees will get into action with the support of the president as well as the house organization, although there is a majority in the house for the Fora ker amendment if it can be submitted to a vote.

night and during the following day he
 was in Silver City and attended 2
 similar lodge meeting in a small town
 in the immediate vicinity of Silver City
 and next morning returned to Nampa
 and there entered car of a train go-
 ing east which took him with all due
 dispatch from the state of Idaho: that
 prior to said time he had not been in
 the state of Idaho for a period of more
 than three years
 Proceeding. the answer states that
 he was not in Caldwell at the time or
 the assassination of Frank Stenunen-
 Serg. It recites the issuing of the war
 rant on Feb. F. for his arrest and the
 issuance of the acquisition papers on Feb. 13. Mover states that Governor
 Gooding, J. Fl. Hawley and Owen Van Duyn, county attorney, knew he was
 not in Idaho on Dec 30, the date or the assassination. The answer all leges that Governor GoOding, MT. Flaw lev and MT. Van Duyn conspired io- Eether with other persons unknown i5 secure his arrest and removal from 1 Colorado in violation Of the statute of
 relating to eEffadition and that Tn pur- suance of this conspiracy Hawley went
 to Denver on Feb. 15. with Deputy Warden Mills for the purpose Of kid | from Colorado in defiance of the constitution and the laws.
 There they conspired with the gOver-
 nor of Colorado to cause him to be se- cretly arrested. Under circumc. anc, , which would make it impossible for him to test the validity of the extra ditiOn, they agreed that the arrest should be made late on Saturday even l ing, Feb. IT, and that he be secretly | removed from the state.
 Mover further alleges that this was to prevent his friends from learning of 1 his arrest and be thus prevented from suing out a writ of habeas corpus. When his friends heard of the arrest
 they inquired of the authorities at the jail and were informed that no such i arrests had been made. It is charged that the proceedings were taken in the
 manner set forth to prevent the de- fendant from testing the legality of the
 extradition.
 This is in support of the claim that man cannot be extradited for hay ing cOnspired in another state to com init a crime in the state to which it is sought to have him removed and that
 he must actually have been n the state when the crime was committed and become a fugitive therefrom. The proceedings since the arrival of the accused men in Idaho are set forth and it is again alleged that the gover-
 nor of this state knew that the de- fendant was not in the state at the time of the crime. It is alleged the arrest is in violation of the fourth fifth and fourteenth amcndments of the l United States constitution and in viO- ! lation of. sections s, 13 and r of the ] constitution of this state, covering the i personal rights of the individual in such matters.
 ! The habeas corpus-case will be ar gued in the supreme court tomorrow

ick A. Burnham individually and by George D. Eldredge individually, and in order to induce Wells to consent to a discontinuance of those actions.
 The third indictment for forgery is based on the payment of $5,0O0 of the company's money on September 24, 1901. That payment was entered in the cash book as made to Schell ana Elk us for legal services. The rear purpose of this payment is, however, alleged to have been for delivery to Baldwin and White. attorneys for J. Thompson Patterson, for the purpose of settling one action which Patterson had pre- Viously brought against the company and George D. Eldridge individually, and three actions which had been brought against Patterson, one by George D. Eldridge individually. one by Frederick A. Burnham and one by the company.
 Tn additions to the transactions of the Mutual Reserve the grand jury has before it a general consideration of insurance companies. Regarding the general situation, the grand jury re- gently asked Judge O'Sulnvan of the guidance in the proposed investigation. Today Judge O'SulliVan and also Dis trict Attorney Jerome advised the jury to wait before beginning its investiga tions until opinions of legal authori- ties can be obtained upon the ques- tiOns involved.

INDICTMENTS
 FOR FORGERY
Against Officials of Mu-
 tuaI Reserve Life
Hills Charging the President and two Vice Presidents With Larceny are Returned.

New York Mar. Establishments charging grand larceny in the first degree and forgery in the third degree by Frederick A. Burnham. president: George Eldridge, first vice president and George Burnham, jr., second vice president of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company, were found by the grand jury today. In all five indict- ments were brought against each offi- cer, two for grand larceny and three for forgery. The alleged larceny and forgery were brought about, according to the indictments, by payments of S9000 of the cOmpany's money to law firms, the apparent purpose of which is alleged to have been to settle claims against the company, while. the real object is alleged to have been to set tie actions which had been brought against the officers of the company as individuals.
 The indictments on which charges of larceny are based allege that the officers embedded two sums, one of $7,500 and the other of $1,500, on Oc- tober A, 1901. The three officers ap- peared in the court of general sessions where Judge O'Sullivan fixed their bail at $12,5OO each and fixed upon next Thursday as the time for plead ing.
 George Burnham, jr., when seen at the company's office after the jurys action had been announced, said: We had been expecting this and have en- gagged counsel to defend us. Aside from stating that if there has been any crime committed, il is but a tech nical one, I do not care to discuss the case"
 In the first case of alleged forgery the indictment charges that $500 was entered in the cash book as paid to Nichols and Bacon. attorneys for P. J. Armstrong, to settle a claim of Armstrong against the insurance com Dany arising out of a contract between him and the company. In fact, how ever, the indictment charges the money was paid to Nichols and Bacon in settlement Of an action which they as attorneys for J. Douglass Wells, had previously brought against Fred click A. Burnham individually.
 The second indictment for forgery charges that the defendants caused the item of $l,5O0 to be entered on the company's books as made in payment to ScheH and EIkus for legal services rendered by them to the company. In reality, declares the indictment, the money was paid with instructions to turn it over to the attorney of J. Douglas Wells to reimburse Wells for disbursements which he claimed had been made by him in defending ac- tions brought against him by Freder-
