Rich Pickino for Book Accents.

Topeka, Kan. May 6.-Wita purse
of about a million dollars as the re-
ward of success dozens of book agents
representing the leading publishers
of the country swooped down on the
Kansas state textbook commission to-
day and fairly swamped the members
of that body in the flood of their elo-
quence. The representative of each
company was allowed to talk just fif-
teen minutes, and laboring under such
restrictions eacn agent gave an exam
pie of high-power oratory such as
has seldom before been heard, even
in Kansas. The contracts. which will
be let by the commission and for
which the publishing concerns are
co1testing involve the furnishing of
all the public school text books to be
used in the state during the coming
five years, the total estimated value
to the successful bidder being $1,010-
000 Within the last few weeks near

fight is being waged between the Am

known as the knowledge trust" and
the independent concerns, Including
Appleton, Scribner's, D.

trust captured the big end of the
contract five years ago and its repre-

Irish Dinner for Primiers.

London, May 6.-The Irish Nation
alists, who have refused to take any
part in the various entertainments ar
ranged for the colonial premiers, ev-
en- that given by the house of COM
mons, will give a banquet for the
prime ministers this evening. 1t is
expected that the dinner will be made
the occasion for great home rule de-
monstration, as all the members are
pronounced advocates of the self-gov
ernment of Ireland The affair as
sumes especial Importance at this
time owing to the fact that the Irish
council bill will be introduced in the
house of commons. tomorrow. In re-
gard to the terms of the proposed
measure wide differences of opinion
exist between the government and the
Irish Nationalists, but the latter hope
to obtain through amendments what
is withheld in the original bill. A few
of the cabinet members who favor
home rule were willing to grant the
demands of Chairman Jonn Redmond,
leader of the irish parliamentary par
ty, but the majority favor a measure
far short of what the Nationalists ask
for. The bill, as it will be presented
by Secretary for Ireland Birrell, pro-
vides for an Irish council, in part cleo
tive and in part nominative. which
shall administer the internal affairs
of the island, exclusive of the army
and navy, but will have little law-mak
ing powers.

Boise, Idaho. May 6.-The applica-
counsel for the defense IN the, case
of w. D. Haywood of the Western
Federation of Miners, ~iro on Thurs
day next will be placed on trial
charged with the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, will come up
for argument today. Counsel on both
sides admit that the application for
the bill of particulars is not likely
to affect the case materially. Such a
bill in a murder case is somewhat un-
usual, but counsel for the prisoner
express the view that they should
complete their record by such a
course. 1t is admitted by the prosecu-
tfon that Haywood was not In the
state when the murder was commit
ted, but they claim tnat Haywood
eonspired with the actual executor of
he crime, and is therefore guilty of
murder. The purpose of the applica-
ton for a bill of particulars on the
part of the defense is to force the
state to show in advance of the COM
mencement of the trial in what man
ner the state expects to link Haywood
with the murder.
President Roosevelt's letter to the
Committee of Labor Unions replying
to request for evidence as to the
reason for calling Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone undesirable citizens
was published here today. In it the
President urges that exact justice be
done the men, saying that II they are
Innocent they must go free. He as
sures the committee of labor that he
will interfere if any attempt be made
to railroad" the men. The letter
aroused little comment here
Just before the opening of court for
the hearing of the motion for q bill
of particulars, Clarence Darrow, of
counsel for the defense, said to cor
of the Associated Press:
Under the laws and the constitution
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone are
to be tried in court by jury of their
peers. The forum is a state court OF
Idaho. Under these facts | do not see
what there is for the President to
do. All we have right, or desire to
ask either of him or of any other cit
izen is to leave the courts and juries
to administer the law fairly and with
out prejudice and without influence
from the outside"
Both sides finished their arguments
on the application for a bill of par
ticulars by 1890 this afternoon. The
court then adjourned until o'clock
when it was expected that Judge
Wood would hand down his decision.
