bill Is constitutional and yet, so far
as there is power by law to do so, to
limit the appeal to what is regarded
as constitutionally necessary. The

member of the executive committee Of

From these 1t appears that the men
who were secretly arrested here Sat

Idaho were charged directly with the
murder of Former Governor Frank
5teunenberg of Idaho. and not merely
with being accessories to the crime.
The complaints and acquisitions in the
cases are identical and charged the &C.

was killed at Caldwell, Idaho. Deem
Der 30, 1905. The specific charge of
murder was made, 1t is explained, in
order to forestall habeas corpus pro-
ceedings on behalf of the accused
men, but no attempt will be made to
prove that they were In Idaho at the
time of the commission of the crime.
1t Is alleged, however, that they con-
spired with others to murder Steun-
enberg and furnished funds to carry
out the plot.
The atrocious murders committed
during the labor troubles In the Grip
pie Creek and Telluride districts In
this state, which have always been
shrouded in mystery. the earlier Occur
D'Alene murders, and the more re-
cent Steunenberg assassination form
a chain of crimes with which efforts
are being made to connect the officers
of the Western Federation Of Miners

been made by Harry Orchard, who Is
charged with the Steunenberg MUIR

some very interesting facts. The aver

Baptists and l Catholic. Of the remain
ing 40, 20 are Presbyterians by affiiation,
are Episcopalian, are Methodist,

the fathers of the students presents an
interesting study: 8 1 are sons of plant

chants, 10 are sons of lawyers, 8 are
sons Of ministers, 7 are sons of ply
sicians, are sons of bankers, are sons
of tobacconists, are sons of coal opera
tors, 10 are sons of men who follow the
general lines of business, and others of
many occupations.
The prospective occupation Of the stu

of written language, as translated to the
ear by the eye, upon spoken language.
In using our own language we Amer
leans are particularly exposed to this
influence. Our first colonization, and
more especially our separation from
England by the Revolution, brought
about certain disruption in old tradi-

words, especially Of proper names, were
gradually forgotten, and we began to
pronounce those names as we saw them
wr1tten-at times to considerable veil

stance, the town Of Waltham, in Mas

oblivious of the fact that the name
really belongs to the same general
family as Birmingham, WaIBing CHAM,

fused into compound consonant, that

The pronunciation "Waltham" is but

language; it seems as il two of those
