HARAHAH FAVaRS PROJECT
President of Illinois Central Will Ad-
dress the Deep Waterway
Convention.

Chicago. Oct. 3.-SThe management of the
Illinois Central railroad has decided to
throw its influence in favor of a deep
gulf This became apparent yesterday
when J. T. Harahan, president of the road.
stated that he would go to the deep wa
terway convention to be held in Memphis
on Friday of this week, and would there
give an address strongly favoring the
project.
In the past the general opinion among
railway arrangements has been that wa
terways injure the railroads by keeping
freight rates down. The attitude of the
Illinois Central management with respect
to the present deep waterway project is
that II will develop the south rapidly,
and in the development of the south, in
creased tonnage will be made for the IL
sippi valley lines.
ut is a mistaken idea that the Illinois
Central railroad would be injured by a
navigable waterway from the great lakes
to the gulf, despite the fact that We par
allel the Mississippi river for nearly 7OO
miles," said Mr.. Harahan.
THE railroads have been utterly unable
to handle the tremendous traffic which
has been offered them during the past
few years. In my judgment they will be
unable to handle ali the traffic for many
years to come, so that no matter how
many waterways there may be, the rail-
mage taken from them. In general, II
may be said without fear of successful
contravention, that whatever tends to de-
velop a country or section OF coun-
| try increases the value of a railroad

David Wright and Erwin Stoyer were
shot in the leg by Harry Wiseman at
Ida yesterday afternoon, and Wise
man was shot in the mouth by William
Seaman. Hibbs will die, but Wiseman
had recovered to such an extent when
the stage left there this morning that
he was able to sit up and smoke a
cigarette.
Wiseman, who is a saloonkeeper, en-
tered Seaman's resort and asked to be
permitted to sit in a poker game which
the four men were playing. Seaman
objected, and he left he place, return

matte gun in his hand. AS he stepped
into the house he drew the gun, and
said: Il guess this will let me in the

Goldfield, New, Oct. 3.-As a result of
the tie-up of the Goldfield & Tonopah and
Goldfield & Bullfrog railroads. the old

VALUE OF SPRAYING
illustrated by Display of Fruits From
Experiment Station.

One of the most valuable exhibits in
the horticultural pavilion, from a fruit
growers viewpoint, is the display Of
fruit shown from the Utah experiment
station by Professor Z. ID. Ball, director,
illustrating the value and importance of
orchard spraying and of spraying at the
the right materials. Four years ago the
station took charge of an orchard which
was badly infested with the codling moth.
For the first three years the trees were
sprayed twice, but this year but one ap-
plication was made. The result ought to
convince the most skeptical of the pos
sibility of thoroughly controlling the ap-
pie worm. The product of one tree was
shown at the fair. OF the total number
of apples grown, $685. but IS specimens
were wormy. The remaining apples were
free from worms and as sound as a dol
lar without blemish of any kind. Only
half of l per cent of the entire crop of
apples was worm-eaten. This is getting
pretty nearly to pioneer conditions, be-
fore the advent of the apple worms
when all the fruit in the state was free
from insects and diseases. Keeping
everlastingly at it, is the price of sue
cess in fruit growing and it is gratifying
to know. a fact which many doubted, that
insects and diseases can be kept under
control and good fruit grown. Professor
Balls demonstration is an invaluable one
and is fully appreciated by every pro-
Eressive fruit grower.

San Francisco, Oct. 3.-Notwith-
standing the TREY L. Ford defense to-
day subpoenead Abraham Ruef as a
witness, when the time came for the
Introduction of evidence in behalf of
the general counsel of the United Rail-
roads, the attorneys for the defense re-
fused to offer any testimony, thus
blocking any intent the prosecution
may have had to make of Ruef. a re-
buttal witness; and both sides went to
argument-the people without having
adduced a particle of direct evidence
connecting the accused with the COM
mission of the crime charged. and the
defense without having offered a sworn
word in its own behalf.
Assistant District Attorney OGara
made the opening speech for the prose-
cution. Following him Attorney A. A.
Moore opened for the defense. Mr..
Moore will conclude in the morning
and will be followed by Earl Rogers
who will close for Ford. Assistant
District Attorney Heney, in the after
noon. will close for the people. Judge
LawIor will charge the jury, and the
case should be in the hands of the

A general belief prevails that the jury

FISH GETTING
SOME SUPPORT
Hartford, Conn.,, Stockholders
of Illinois Central Join in
Fight on Hartman.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. Sat the meeting
of the local stockholders of the Illinois
Central railroad held here today, il was
unanimously voted to have all of the prox-
les of the stockholders present turned over
TO Charles NJ. Beach of this city, who is a
director of the Illinois Central, and a sup
porter of Stuyvesant Fish in the fight
with the Hartman interests. Those who
had sent their proxies to Mr. Hartman
Will cancel them.
The stockholders represented over 5000
shares. The meeting was Overwhelmingly
anti-Harriman, and besides voting on the
disposition of proxies, adopted resolutions
setting forth:
Whereas, The present controversy in
the management of the Illinois Central
railroad has brought to the knowIede4. of
the stockholders the fact that the hoard
or directors has delegated their papers in
intervals of sessions to an executive COM
hnlttee OF their number, which in turn has
conferred the same absolute powers upon
their chairman, which we believe to be a
grave danger to the interests of the cor
poration and of it's stockholders; and.
Whereas, The facts have become
known that by this concentration of au-
thor1ty the officers have been able to
make large loans to themselves. on such
securities and terms as they themselves
deem sufficient, and are the sole
judges; and as 1t is also evident
mat duueA tIliS present system II
is possible for any individual del
egated with these powers to make in
his own interests this railroad and its
business subordinate and contributorv 10
other roads IN which he may have a great
er personal interest, and therefore We
stockholders of the Illinois Central pro
test against the improper and hazardous
practice and We request the board of tii-
rectors to take such action as will pre-
vent these evils in the future"

OUTCOME OF LAND FRAUD TRIAL
AT BOISE.
(SneciaI to The Heraldl

Washington, D. c., Oct. a-The acquit-
tai of Senator Borah probably foreshad-
ows the removal from office of District
Attorney Ruick of Idaho, who. notwith-
standing the findings of the recent grand
jury, is generally supposed to be largely
responsible for the Indictment of Idaho 5
new senator. Attorney General Bonaparte
is not going to Immediately investigate
Ruick's connection with Borah's indict-
ment, though such an investigation will
unquestionably have to be made in the
near future.

Roosevelt Against Ruick.

1t is quite probable, however that the
initial steps against Ruick will come from
the White House, rather than from the
department Of justice. Today the attor-
ney general would not discuss the mat
ter, but it was stated by an official of the
department very close to Bonaparte that
no action could properly be taken until
the attorney general received a full re-
port, both on the BOrah trial and on the
action of the grand jury that recently in
vestigated the affidavits of three former
grand jury men, accusing Ruick with
cOercing them into signing Borah's in
dictment. Furthermore, ii is intimated
that unless there is outside pressure
brought to bear. the department of JUS
tice will not consider Ruick's case until
the two indicted grand jury men have
been brought to trial.
Over Eonaparte's Head.
1t is quite evident that the department
will seek to delay any effort to force
Ruick out of office, but in that event
the matter may be taken over the head
of the attorney general. 1t is not known
here whether Borah or his friends will
urge the removal of Ruick, but it Is
known that Borah has strong friends
close to the administration, and If he or
mis- friends can show that his Indictment
was due to the personal or political en-
doubt that Ruick will be removed. regard
less of the attitude of the department of
justice, where Ruick has always been
highly regarded.
In the event of Ruick'S removal ii is
probable his successor will be selected by
Senator Borah Hepburn is expected to
fight for Ruick'S retention.
