PROSECUTION OF ORCHARD
Governor Cooling Assumes to
Know What Attorney of
Accused VIII Do,
Especial to The Herald.

Boise. Ida, Jan. 1Z-Speaking Of the
probable difficulty to be experienced IN
getting a jury in Canyon county in the
case of Harry Orchard, charged with the
murder Of Ex-Governor Frank Steunen-
berg, Governor GOoding this evening said:
1T is quite certain that it will be the
policy Of Orchards attorney to adops
some course to influence the minds of
oil prospective jurors in that county con-
corning the case, SO as to disQualify them
from acting. Especially is the defense
anxious to get in work of this kind
among the more intelligent men,
1t is to the interest of the prosecuting
attorney to counterfeit what may be done
in that line. We wish to guard against
the possibility of men in Canyon county
forming opinions in the case against
Orchard. We understand fully the IN
tense interest oil over the country in, this
case and the anxiety for news of develop
mems but we have decided that the best
interests of the staCe demand that news
Of the work of detectives on the case and
accounts of evidence secured by them be
withheld until the case is brought for
trial What is Of interest in the case
that cannot possibly interfere with tho
plans of those who will handle the pros
ecution,. will be given out gladly as it
comes Up.
The state has evidence galore against
Orchard strong case, but it cannot risk
being handicapped at the trial by having
TO present the case before a jury OF ig
nOrant men instead OF a jury Of intelli-
gent citizens"

scented to Senate,

containing the signatures Of American
women who desire to see Senator Reed
SmOot Of Utah ousted from the United

in the union, asking women to help
in the fight against SmOOt by signing
a memorial to the United States SEN
ate asking the expulsion of Senator
Smoot on the ground that he pledged
his first allegiance to the Mormon hi
erarChy, thus setting it above the
United States government. The ques-
ton Of polygamy is not raised.
The eighty volumes are to be dis
tributed among the senators and the
protest they represent will be present
ed by Senator Burrows of Michigan.
Then each senator in turn will present
the signatures from his state.
The names of New York women fill
seven volumes, of Pennsylvania six

Here Mr.. Hopkins interposed an OBJ
lection to the entire proceeding. saying
that he saw mo more reason why the
senate should investigate the affairs of
the presidents household than that the
president should investigate the personal
affairs of the senator from South Caro-
lima"
Mr. Hale said that he had not pretend
ed TO bind any senator by asserting to
such a resolution, but personally he
would not oppose the resolution.
Mr. Daniels entered a most earnest plea
with Mr.. Tillman not to present the reso-

Gauinger suggested. but MT TiIlman de-

il for the proposed investigation. He
added that he had the names of four
men who would testify to these facts as
stated. Here Mr.. Tillman stopped
abruptly TO move the appointment of a
committee of investigation. He suggest
ed that five senators be named for the
purpose of inquiring into the incident

TiIIman in Tears.

Mr. Tillman declined to accede to the
objection declaring that his resentment
of the mistreatment OF lady was such
that he could not reconcile silence and
inactiOn with his idea of propriety. Re-
ferring again to the testimony OF wit
nesses, his eyes filled with tears, and
HIS voice almost chOked with emotion
when he quoted one of the newspaper
men who had been present as saying
that he had since upbraided himself
with tears in his eyes, even at the risk
of personal injury, that he did not rush
to the rescue Of Mrs. Morris"
And what are you going to do about
it, he asked in a voice now attuned to
a high key. Let these imperialistic
practices continue? Nothing? Then, in
deed viii the senate sink into contempt;
into a contempt that will be deserved,
the contempt of every good man and
woman in the country. I cannot be a
party to such a course, but 1 will take
the consequences. I will offer the resO-
luton, and the senate can do as it
pleases with it,

Mr.. Tillman's DisaVowal.

Mr.. Tillman said in reply. that he
thought Mr.. Hale should not, in view Of
his own disavOwal, have repeated the
statement that he had spoken as he had
because of personal feeling.
Mr.. Hale replied that the senator must
be his own judge as TO that, and Mr..
TiIIman answered that the statement was
uniustified.
true" he exclaimed with feeling.
Mr.. Tillman then read a typewriter
statement from a newspaper reporter,
who. he said, was an eye witness Of the
White House incident in which the re-
porter stated that he had seen Mrs.
Morris carried off like a sack of salt,
with a negro at her heels and her dress
hanging from her knees.

Hale Wants Facts.

Mr.. Hale-I do not credit the exaggsr-
ated statements Of the newspaper press
about this incident. l believe they are
all eXtraVagart, swollen and not jusu-
fled by the facts; but whenever any SEN
atOr upon his responsibility declares that
there should be an investigation and
asks for an investigation so that We may
have not statements, not virulence, not
denunciatiOn, but facts, not one on this
side will object to that resolution.
Mr.. Tillman-I will offer it and put it
to the test.
Mr.. Tillman then quoted the official
statement concerning the Morris incident
and said that in ignoring the matter the
president had practtcany endorsed it. He
added that he had been told that another
lady had been treated at ne White House
very much as Mrs. Morris had been.
Mr.. Hale again demonstrated with Mr.
Tillman for making the senate the arena
for the display of his personal opinions
He said it was not true that the senate
is inclined to bend the pregnant hinges of
the knee to the president, and that the
president had already learned that the
senate is an Independent body. He added
that senators consult most freely with
him and advise him if they differ with
him.
None Of us hesitates TO tell him if we
do not agree with him. he addedO. The
senator Is wrong in undertaking to create
the impression that the senate is sur
rendering its rights. It will not submit
To this arraignment.'

That Fitzsimmons Letter.

Continuing his remarks, he said that
these poor. pitiful liars, the newspa-
pers" had reported that about the time
the Norris election occurred the presi-
dent had written a letter to Prize Fighter
Fitzsimrnons. showing that his dignity
had not been so great as had been rep
resented Nor had he been too dignified
to engage In a trial of the jiu-iitsu sys-
tenn or to put on the boxing gloves. In
view of this report he had waited In
the hope that 1.-The president would take
some action apropos of the brutal treat
ment of Mrs Morris that would do CIedit
to him as a gentleman, and ii was only
a ter he had shown such besotted indif-
ference to public opinion that feel called
upon TO present a true statement of the
Incident and ask for an investigation to
disprove the falsehoods and garbled
statements given out by Mr.. Barnes"
Closed Abruptly.
The South Carolina senator closed alb
ruptly and was evidently deeply affected
as he took his seat.
1t was understood that Mr.. Spooner
and Mr.. Lodge were to make reply, but
neither replied. Instead Mr.. Hale ad-
dressed the chair.
The chair was asking: What shall be
done with the resolution when, ignor-
ing the query, the Maine senator moved
an executive session. The motion pre-
vailed. and in less than two minutes the
vest throng of people in the galleries
were cleared out and the doors were
closed and one of the tensest days in
the recent history of the senate came
TO an end
The executive session began at 2:57 p.
m. and the senate adjourned at 1903 p. m.
