ments The pleas were supported by the
affidavits of three. members of the old
grand jury and denied in nine affdavits
filed in behalf of Mr.. Ruick.
Judge Whitsop said today that before
finally passing upon the pleas he deemed
an investigation necessary, the charges
against the dietrict attorney being of q
very grave nature. A special Grand jury
is now in session, making similar ir-
vestigation of the witnesses summoned
before Judge Whitson.
Senator Borah has not entered any
pleas of a technical nature, but decision

cases may affect his trial, which IL sched
uled to begin on Monday.

court made an important ruling today.
The case was the first of its kind known
anywhere. A bill was passed by the leg

claims that he would sign the bill if they
would take $25,OOO and give the state a

wise the bill would have gone into the
waste basket, the legislature having ad-

paid January l. 1906. but the state comp
troller refused to pay the second INSTALL
ment and te1aered enough to make up
$25, 600 for thX'51Ehole claim.

agreement to take less than the sum
allowed by the legislature was void and

to sign bill in the interest OF the state.
his duty is to approve or disapprove.

der off upon the governor its RESPONSE

Opposing It

nary sitting of the peace conference today
attracted an unusually large audience.

In the course Of the discussion regard
ing the establishment of an international
prize court Senior Esteva of Mexico an
nounced that the Mexican delegation
would now vote In favor of the PROPOSE
ton, as the modification permitting a
country interested in a case to have its
own Judge of the tribunal largely did
away with the Objectionable features of
the earlier proposition, which, he said,
contravened the principle of the equality
Of nations.
Senior Esteva added that while Mexico
would support the proposition to estab-
lish a prize court he did not withdraw
the opinion, repeatedly expressed
against the project to establish an inter-
national court of permanent arbitration
If, based, on a principle contrary to the
equality of the states.
The proposition to establish prize
court was ultimately approved, Brazil
casting a vote against it. Russia, Japan,
Siam, Venezuela, Turkey and Persia ab-
stained from voting. On the motion of
President Nelidoff the resolution in re-
gard to convening the third peace confer
ence, introduced September 10. was unan-
imously adopted, together with the ex-
preston of gratitude to Emperor Mich
olas, as the initiator of the conference,
and to Queen Wilhelmina for her hospi-
tality.
Prior to the vote M Tsuzuki, head of
the Japanese delegation, drew cordial ap-
plause because of his expression of ap-
