STRIKERS ALARMED
BY LATEST THREAT
Prosecution for Conspiracy In
Federal Courts Has Caused
Commotion Among Union
Officers In EaSt--Deb'S
Fate Is Feared.

New York, Sept. ALI hope or
expectation that President Roosevelt
viii take hand in settling the te-
legraphers' strike disappeared this
afternoon with the official announce
ment from oyster Bay that Mr..
Roosevelt had received no appeals
from any source to interfere and
that he saw no necessity or reason
for action on his part, should an ap-
peal be made.
After a 6,500-mile automobile trip
through France, Germany and Swift
zerland, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gould.
with the latter's sister, Mrs. A. b.
Coydendale, returned today.
Helen Gould May Not Aid.
One of the first things Mr.. Gould
said was that he did not place any
dependence on the statement that his
sister, Miss Helen Gould, would in
terfere in the telegraphers strike.
Mr.. Gould put 1t this way:
My sister knows very well that
the directors of the Western Union
Telegraph company are perfectly
capable of taking care of the situa-
ton, and she probably will not in
terfere. | am going to Lyndhurst,
her nome, to spend a few DAYS, but
my visit has nothing whatever to do
with the telegraphers' strike / have
not come home because of the strike.
am satisfied that President Clowry
knows what he is about and that
ne does not need my advice"
Threat Alarms Officers.
Chicago, Sept alarm prevailed
among the striking telegrap pliers to-
day when word came from New
york that the companies were pre-
pairing to bring suit against the union
OFFICIALS in the federal courts for con-
SDiracy in Interfering with nro
state business. President Small noti-
ned the officials here to Immediately
pan some counter move in court.
The officials fear the same fate
that beset Eugene Debs and other of
hcials in the great American railway
union strike, which resulted disas-
terously and landed them in prison.
Both companies say the strike Is al
an end as far as they are concerned.
and both claim to be taking on many
disguised strikers here and in other
cities.

The iudict. nents were ,hr result cf alleged aoueufMcem nt of the Amis law It O,klawa during the past few weeks
 Sheriff Williams, who was present iu the court room, stated that It was especially hard for him to be deprived of the con- mission at this time as, during the next twenty days, he would reap the largest rewards ot his
 ffice through the collection of taxes, and requested the court to appoint someone sfiendly 10 him.
 C. T. Teague and F. W. Rec tor also SD. ke in behalf of Sheriff Williams, and desired 10 suggest some names of perSous to the court whom they would like to have appointed to the position.

THE TRIAL OF
 CONVECTION
Securing Jury Senator Jeff as Wit ness Number of Witnesses Absent But Continuance
 Was Denied.

Little Rock, April 2.-Matters
 progressed swiftly yesterday at
 inc commencement of tho trial of
 A. w. Ccving ton, president of
 the 1905 state senate, who is fac . ing a charge of perjury in Judge
 Lea's division of the Pulaski
 county circuit court. Au early
 motion for a continuance was
 denied and the jlry panels ol
 hoth divisions oi the court were
 exhausted before the afternoon,
 york was completed, with the re-
 suit that out ol g prospective
 jurors mined eight were
 agreed pon and were civen in
 charge of the sheriff until the
 completion of the trial,
 That the tcnl3iniug members oi
 the jury will be selected this
 morning is foregone conclusion,
 and then the trldl will be on in earnest.
 There promises to be some
 thing in the nature of legal pyrotechnies early tn the case,
 for it is expected that ex Cover. nor Jeff Davis will be among the
 first witnesses for the state, Ac-
 cordiug to report, there IS no low lost between the ex governor and Colonel G. w. Murphy, chief counsel for Coving ton, and tho possibility of clash of some significance is exciting specula- ton as 70 is probable outcome The state pros cutor would no announce his liss of witnesses yesterday, but the general under Standing was that Mir. Davis would hold the center of the stage for time during tue early part of the trial.
 Absent Witnesses Wanted. Colonel Murphy's written mo- tioh for a continuance was pre- sented. It recfted that among former senators who w.re not present were A. :. kl!gore, whoss wife is ill; A. W. Risor, whom the defense had been unable to locate; Senator w. 5. Amls, now iu Mexico, and Walter Collins, who has not answered the sum mons. The motion went on to reci,e that Senators Milan, Floyd, Rector and some others had stated they felt their duty to be ii the senate ani not Tn court. The contention was made that il the testimony of former Senator
 Hinkle be introduced, implicat- ing other members of the senate in "boodle' charges, the appear ance of all those named would be
 absolutely cessary.
 Judge Lea announced that he
 
 had received word from the sem
 ate, iuf,rming him of the passage oi the resolution already referred
 to, and also submitting roll Call ol the senator's willing to appear when wanted.
 It then developed that Senator
 Gross had beel called away through the illness of his wife,
 aud that Senator Thompson is nursing case of measles recent \ ly contracted.
 In denying the motion for a
 continuance Judge Lea said: "l would like to have this case
 uied as soon as possible, without
 oolng anyone an injustice, par
 ucularly the defendant, who is
 IF Jeopirdy. will state that l
 Will stop the cas. at any time in
 m order that needed witnesses
 De procured, if II takes all sum
 hier to conclude the trial, but at
 present l feel that it should pro- # csed."
