Boise, Idaho, Feb. 21.-Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, in charge of
deputy warden and guards, were
taken to Caldwell this morning for
arraignment. The train stopped op-
posite the county Jail and the prison.
ers were transferred. At 10 o'clock
they were brought before Probate
Judge Church, where the information
was read, charging each with murder
ing Ex-Governor steunenberg.
The prisoners are represented by E.
F. Richardson of Denver. The latter
had no legal authority to appear, not
having been admitted to practice in
Idaho. The courtesy was extended at
the request of Prosecuting Attorney
Van Duyn.
Pettibone was the first arraigned.
An affidavit was read charging him
with exploding the bomb by which
Frank Steunenberg met his death the
night of December 3Oth.
The same charge was then read to
Haywood and Meyer, the affidavits
directly charging the defendants with
the crime of murder. All the defend
ants stood mute. refusing to plead.
Richardson demanded an immediate
preliminary hearing. Under the law
it must be held within two days af-
ter arraignment. The attorneys
agreed the cases should go over till
the eth.
Richardson also demanded the
prosecution produce the names of
witnesses by which proof of charges
can be established. but the court
overruled on the ground the prosecu-
ton alleged it had three witnesses
who will corroborate the affidavit of
Prosecuting Attorney Van Duyn.
Richardson contended the affida-
Wit is not sufficient as it charged
an individual with being present at
Caldwell and committing crime
when Pettibone had not been in Ida
no for % years, Haywood for eight
years and Meyer since last October,
and the complaint did not charge
them with conspiracy.
The court ordered the prisoners be
permitted to have books, but not
newspapers, and may write letters if
inspected by the warden.
The defendants were committed
without bail pending a preliminary
hearing. The party was brought back
to the penitentary at o'clock this
afternoon.

Umatilla county will be organized
for advertising purposes at last, IL
the plans now on foot for the organi-
zation of a county Commercial asso-
citation are realized.
The board of managers of Pendle-
ton Commercial association at a
meeting held yesterday evening issued
urgent letters to the other CONNER
cial bodies in the county, to attend a
meeting to be held at the rooms of
the association in this city on Friday
evening, Frebruary 23, for the pur-
pose of obtaining concerted action in
attracting the homeseekers now COM
ing west, to Umatilla county.
Six commercial bodies outside Of
Pendleton are now in existence in the
county and 1t is hoped to have a rep
resentative of the board of managers
from each of these bodies, which are
located at the following points,
Athena, Weston, Freewater, Adams.
Echo and Umatilla. With this end
portance of the movement was sent
out today by the board of managers
of Pendleton Commercial association.
1t is hoped to secure the co-opera-
ton of the various towns in the coun-
ty in the matter of attracting home
seekers to the county during the rush
to the west this spring. The matter
of issuing printed literature for the
use of all the various points in the
county, and also the highly import
ant matter of placing agents on o.
r. & n. trains in Idaho and Wyoming
to direct homeseekers to stop off in,
Umatilla county, will be discussed and.
it is hoped that immediate action can
be secured in this matter.
All other counties in the northwest
are securing homeseekers through
concerted action of this kind and ex-
tensive advertising and this movement
will direct the attention of homeseek-
ers to the advantages of Umatilla
county. Union county is now secur-
ing large numbers of tourists and
homeseekers, each lay large numbers
transfer from this point to Walla
Walla. Colfax and Spokane, while
comparatively few stop off at Pendle-
ton or any other Umatilla county
point.

FEDERATION WILL BACK THEM.
Evidence Scant, Based Solely Upon
Orchards Confession.

Denver, Feb. 21.-The Western
Federation will expend 100000 II
necessary to secure the release of
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, and
any other members of the organiza-
tion who may be arrested In connec-
ton with the assassination of Steun-
enberg or with any other crime of
which they believe them to be inno-
cent. This announcement was made
today. They will use every cent lin
the treasury and then ask aid of every
labor organization in the country.
Attorney Richardson wires from
Boise the evidence against Mover.
Haywood and Pettibone is not of a
convincing character, and that the
charges against the men are built
solely upon the alleged confession of
Orchard.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-After a meeting
of the directors and officers of the
jackson Trust and Savings Bank this
afternoon, Joy Morton announced the
bank as perfectly solvent and that it
will continue to do business without
interruption.
The run of yesterday in which over
400 depositors took part was started
by the depositors and general public
believing that the institution was in
volved by the failure of the Bank
of America three days ago.
At the hour set for the opening of
the bank, 800 depositors were in
waiting, and as soon as the doors
were opened they commenced to
withdraw their funds. 1t is known
that the institution is a loser through
loans to F. C. Creelman, whose loans
from the Bank of America were the
immediate cause of the closing of
that concern. The amount of money
loaned to Creelman by the jackson
Trust and Savings Bank is said by
its officers to be s25,000, but stories
on the street by which the depositors
were alarmed, put the amount at
several times $4,000.
The bank yesterday, in an effort to
cover possible losses through the
Creelman loans, took over the busi-
ness of the Illinois Hardwood Lum-
ber company. corporation in which
Creelman is interested, and attempt
ed to sell some of the assets at a
sacrifice. It was enjoined from pro-
ceeding in this work by the federal
court.

for a drainage system to take care
of the surface water on the streets.
The plan suggested is to have a
sewer pipe run down the center of
each street. with laterals running In
to 1t at each crossing. BY this ar
rangement both sides of the street
would be drained by single pipe
line.
At a conference held yesterday
afternoon between the engineers and
the street committee the former sub
mitted estimates for paving with bi-
tulithic material, both with and with
out the drainage pipe. With the
drainage system the price of $S per
front foot for half the street was
named. Without the drainage pipe
the price of $3.50 per front foot was
named.
At the council meeting tonight the
matter of street paving will doubtless
be discussed, but It is not likely the
matter will be in shape for any defi-
mite action to be taken.

Stockton, Cal, Feb. 21.-Coroner
Southworth today completed the anal
ysis of the stomach of James II. Bar
nett, who with two of his children
was mysteriously poisoned in this city
last week. 1t is shown conclusively
that mercury was the cause of DEATH
An inquest was ordered and is now in
progress. Sensational developments
are expected.
The inquest was concluded at noon,
the verdict finding that James H.
Barnett died from the effects Of
mercurial poisoning administered by
some person and in manner un-
known. Mercury was found in an al
most pure state in the stomach, spleen
and liver.

The reason given by officials for
the reduction in the rate is that diff
ferential rate has been granted Pu-
get sound points on account of the
absence of pilotage, lighter and tow
age charges which must be paid by
vessels loading out of Portland.
Those who are in touch with the
situation, however, believe that the
presence of the portage road is the
direct cause of the reduction and that
the differential in favor of the
sound cities is not enough to cause
any reduction of freight rates from
the wheat districts.

FREIGHT RATE ON WHEAT IS REDUCEB

Following numerous conferences
with the Portland Commercial club
and chamber of commerce, the o. r.

cents per ton, or from s3.15 to sass

This will mean a saving of about
$4,000 in freight rates on every 1,OOo,-

county to Portland, or a total saving
of about $4,000 annually to Una

That relief for purchasers of Una
tilla reservation lands will be secur-
ed by action OF congress, is shown by
the following letter and resolution
from Senator Fulton, to II. r. Neil.
of this city.
The letter which follows refers to
the purchase of reservation lands on
the Umatilla reservation and the res
olution attached is one which Senator
Fulton has prepared to be introduced
at the present session of congress and
which he fully hopes will pass with
out objection since It refers solely to
the Umatilla reservation. The letter
is as follows:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 16. 1906.
II. r. Neil,
Pendleton, Oregon.
Nv Dear Sir:-I have Just received
your letter of the 31st ult., and
think your criticism of the law, the
enactment of which I secured at the
last session of congress, is just.
/ was given to understand, or at
least I'm some way got the idea that
the parties who had purchased the
character of lands in question, had
paid for them and were ready to re-
ceive their patents, but could not
without making proof of residence
and cultivation.
You say there are some who had
not then paid, because payments were
not due and you think they should
have the same privilege of proving
up and securing patents without
making proof of residence and culti-
walton, where the lands are unfit for
residence and cultivation. I agree
with you and will endeavor to have
the law amended at the present ses-
sion.
Sincerely YOURS
