RED TAPE DISPUTE
TIES UP A TUNNEL
international Waterways Commis-
sion Claims Jurisdiction
Over Detroit Bore.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 24-The interna-
tional waterways commission and the
railroads which are seeking to con-
States and Canada at Detroit have got
ten into mixup which threatens to
delay the plans indefinitely. Under
an arrangement between the railroad
companies and the war department a
tunnel was being constructed from the
surface in 6OO-foot sections, naviga-
tion being temporarily interfered with
to that extent. Recently, however, the
waterways commission came forward
with assertions that the tunnel came
under it's jurisdiction as an interna-
tional proposition. Secretary Root sus-
tanned that contention when appealed
to by the secretary Of war. The rail
road companies and the Lake Carriers
association, who consented to the first
arrangement, are now wondering
whether the commission will insist
upon some other plan for building the
tunnel, or whether it will permit the
tunnel at all, and when a decision may
be expected. Up to date the commits
sion has not done anything but hear
people at various places along the
great lakes, and it may be a year OF
more before it gets around to the De
troit river tunnel. Secretary Taft
asked congress the other day to de
fine the powers Of this commission, ant
it is possible that the definition will
enable it to act on this problem in rea
sonable time.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The dry dock
Dewey towing squadron, composed of
the colliers Brutus, Cesar and Glacier,
is now at Las Palmas, Canary islands.
The navy department. is uninformed as
to the exact whereabouts Of the dry
dock, but it is presumed that the huge
structure either has been anchored near
Las Palmas or is being held in position
against the current by one of the tow
ing squadron. The officers Of the bu-
reau of navigation disclaim knowledge
Of Commander Hosley's plans for the
next step in the big towing undertak-
ing. .c.. ...4
The reports indicate that the trip
across the Atlantic was wearing on both
the dock and the towing apparatus.
The dock has been strained near the
great bollards to which the chain tow
ing bride is attached. With the spare
paets of machinery, wire and manila
hawsers and other apparatus which the
cruiser Tacoma is carrying to the Cana
ries, full repairs will be made before
the squadron leaves, because of the ad-
verse currents and prevailing head
winds between the Canaries and the
Straits of Gibraltar. ~.. ..@-.-..2
Commander Hosely reports that Boat
swain Dowling has been disqualified
by a board of surgeons. He is suffer-
ing from appendicitis and will be treat

MOyER AND HAYWOOD
ARE Hailed TO COURT
Men Accused Of Steunenberg
Murder Demand They Be
Tried in Colorado.
BY Publishers Press.

BY Publishers Press.
Boise City, Idaho, Feb. 24.-The spe-
cial grand jury summoned at Caldwell
to investigate the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg on the night OF
Dec. 81 last began its sessions today,
after being instructed by the court in
the presence Of President Meyer, Sec
retary-Treasurer Haywood and the ex-
ecutive committee member, Pettibone,
of the Western Federation of Miners,
who are charged with completely in
this crime. The prisoners, manacled,
were brought from the penitentiary at
Boise City on a special train.
Immediately upon convening of
court, counsel for the prisoners moved
that the grand jury be dismissed and
that all proceedings be nullifed on the
ground Of irregularity. After extern
sive arguments this motion was over
ruled. For more than three hours the
members of the jury were examined by
counsel for Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone as to their qualifications to serve.
Each one declared that he was unprej-
udiced. ". B. Moss, merchant and
banker at Payette, was selected fore:
man. He was a candidate for COVER
nor six years ago and is now member
of the board of control of the state in,
sane asylum.
At the close of the session the ac-
cused men were taken back to the train
but they were not handcuffed in any
manner. The reason for taking the
prisoners to the penitentiary is that
the Jail at Caldwell is small, lily ven
tilated and overcrowded
The date of hearing arguments on
, the habeas corpus proceedings before
the supreme court was set for March g.
The application Of the writ is based
upon the extradition statute Of the
United States and the claim is made
that this state has no provision under
which men conspiring in one state fol
commission Of an offense in another
can be taken to the state where the
offense is committed. In other words
they claim that if the conspiracy tc
kill Steunenberg was hatcheds in Colo
rado, they must be tried in Colorado
and cannot be taken to the state OF
Idaho and tried where the crime was
committed and that therefore they are
not subject to extradition process.
