the most notable trial of western

No Public Meetings.
This conversation took place be-
tween Mayor Harnes and DIR. Titus, a
socialistic agitator and editor of a
socialist newspaper, published sue
cessively at Toledo, Caldwell, Idaho,
and now at Seattle.
I'VE want no public meetings."
said the mayor, "and we won't tolerate

"As your honor says" replied Titus,
'T myself, feel that the time for

Mayor Harnes said this same warn

soon as he arrives.
First Of the Four.
Haywood is the first of the four men
accused of completely in the Steunen-
berg murder to be selected for trial.
The others-Moyer, Pettibone and Or
chard. the last of whom is said to
have made a confession-will be tried
as circumstances dictate, following
the conclusion of the proceedings
against Haywood.
The first and one of the greatest
tasks of the court is to secure a Jury.
Estimates of the time necessary to
select twelve men vary, but practical
" none of them places the time under
three weeks.
The victim OF the Caldwell assas-
sination, long conspicuous figure in
the political life of the State, was
possibly known to hundreds OF clti-
zens of Ada county, and personal al
ignment and partisanship on the labor
question, in which the prisoner and
his co-defendants were for a long
time active leaders, is quite general.
so that it is at once a difficult and
delicate task to find men free from
the disqualifications that unfit them
for the high duty of a juror.
Predict a Failure.
Many men who know the commun-
fly very we'll and who add to their
calculation the further handicap of
apprehension of future violence for
revenge, take the extreme view that it
will be impossible to secure jury, |
but the weight of opinion is against |
this extreme conclusion.
There is as yet no indication of the I
scope of the case which the state will |
seek to prove against Haywood. 1t is /
naturally assumed. however. that |
to make the showing as to the alleged /
conspiracy as broad as possible with
out endangering it upon appeal, as
suming that there is a conviction. /
Discussing this phase of the case one |
of the counsel for the prisoners said:
1.-THE broader the scope of the case Of
fered by the state, the better We will |
be satisfied"
Nearly forty correspondents for
press associations and newspapers
have come here to report the case and
special wire arrangements have been
made For the transmission of dispat-
ches.

Estimates that the contest editor has
heard of, run all the way from lo0.oVO
TO 200,00 yotDi, and even at that
it is hard to foretel what number the

must not be forgotten that all the con

of votes. There is an element of dan
ger in this for the contestants and
that is that none of them know how
much reserve others may have Ii is
this doubt that is making the contest

No Religious Destruction.

No political or religious lines will

beliefs.

When asked whether the social set

the detriment of the other organiza-

In answer 10 the question as to
whether y. o. Nelson would build CO..

contemplated at Dublin, Rev. Caldwell

Along Broadest Lines.

The settlement here will be along
the broadcast lines possible, and ev-
erything will be done toward helping
the young men of the city who are
employed in the shops, to better their
condition. Reading rooms will be
conducted while pool and billiards will
be installed for recreation. Socia.
clubs will be formed, and night
schools will be conducted for the bene-
fit of those who have heretofore re-
ceived but little education. OF course
the breadth of this school system will
not be great, owing to the limited cap
itai, but the more essential things
needed by those desiring to attend the
sessions will be given. These classes
will be open to all desiring to join
them. In word, the settlement will
be a resting place, educational and
social center for the laboring men of
the city who have at the present time
no place to spend their evenings or
no central place of meeting
Dancing for the members and their
friends will be counte-
nanced. According to Rev Caldwell,
this sort of amusement is just what
a person makes out of it, There is no
more danger in dance among friends
than there is in some prayer meetings

Delivered the Goods.

The late Senator M. S. Quay, of
Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his
constituents wrote to him asking for
favors, says the Saturday Evening
Post. He had stacks of them when
his last great fight for the senate came
along. Then he sorted out the letters,
eliminating those from people who
were dead and on the back of each
letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:
Do you remember when you wrote me
this letter and do you remember that
l did what you asked? / want your
help now in my fight for the senate
Can I have it?" The politicians in
Pennsylvania say those letters mailed
to the original senders with Quay's re-
quest on the backs of them, had as
much as any one thing to do with

JUDGE TUTHILL DEN0UNCES
WRITER OF POOLROOM STORY
Says Tale that He Has Ruled That City
Court Has No Jurisdiction in Pool
room Case Is False.

The most palpable fake appeared in
the Chicago Inter-Ocean this morning
In the form of article stating that
the Dearborn park poolroom associa-
ton won signal victory over the city
court of Hammond yesterday when
Judge Tuthill of Crown Point, Ind,
decided that the Hammond court had
no jurisdiction In the matter
The article went on to state that
the property of the poolroom men had
been ordered destroyed as the para
phernalia of a gambling resort and that
the appeal to a higher court had been
made to prevent the wrecking crew
from beginning its work.
Judge Tuthill was shown the clip
ping and said that so far as he had
been informed the case was not in his
court In other words, he had no Of
fetal information that he was TO pass
on the case. let alone rendering a de-
cision in the matter.
The judge branded the story as a
fake pure and simple and when it was
suggested that it might have been the
work of some enterprising CORES
pondent, the judge said he didn't see
much enterprise in deliberately taking
up a decision.

A Doc Worth KNOWING,

Two years ago a boy IA years old
named Edward Sweeney, living at OPP
elika, Ala, was followed home by
small dog. The animal was bob
tailed and squint-eyed and by no
means good looking. and the boy was
laughed at for having him around.
Within a week, however, the dog
brought home a five-dollar bill in his
mouth. The next week he brought a
silver dollar. Then he brought a
pocket knife, and followed that with
n dollar bill There has hardly been
a week in these two years that the dog
has not found something. He makes
it his business to hunt the streets and
highways, and often travels a distance
of 80 miles. Up to the present date
he has found and brought home $38
in cash, besides many useful things.

Were superstltiOus, Too.

A woman who takes her super
stitions seriously started to enter a
big department store one morning last
week when she noticed q porter on
tall stepladder that stretched directly
across the doorway. says the New
York Press. In spite Of the fact that
there were five women behind her
eager to pass into the shop she came
ito a sudden halt, looked up at the lad
der and cried out, "Oh, I'll never walk
under that" saying which she turned
and strobe away. Before she had
gone far her sense OF humor rose SUI
perior to her fear OF ladders, and she
looked to see if her remark had had
any effect on those who had been
within sound of her voice. Walking
directly behind her were the five
women who had heard her exclama
ton.

The idea of a home coming week IS
to be observed for the 6rst time this

The idea was suggested by II. H.
Ragon Of the Lowell Tribune and has

features of the coming county fair.
In fact it will be a most attractive
feature, for IN this manner many OF
the former residents OF this county Will
be enabled to meet their old friends
from widely separated portions or the
country.
The man who left for Kansas fifteen
years ago will meet the men who left
for New York about the same time and

portunity Of meeting many Of their
old boyhood friends who still remain In
the county.

Especial to Lake County Timesl.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 4.-The rail-
roads, for reasons not exactly to be ex-
planned. seem TO have seen the error of
their ways and come into paths OF
rectitude for the nonce. F. L Feick.
one Of the labor leaders of the state,
president Of the board of railway train
men. and one who wouldn't give the
railroads any credit that was not
richly deserved. while here. today. says
that the railroads are now obeying the
full crew and the sixteen hour laws. In
view of recent developments. this in
formation. which is confirmed at the
Office of the railroad commission, is in
teresting.
Immediately after legislature ad-
journed the railroads announced with
great flourish, that pending the ntga-
ton on the constitutionahty OF the two
laws in question, they We're going TO
obey them to the letter. not only as
to trains operating wholly within the
state. but also trains within the state
doing also an interstate business. So
far as was known. this program was
carried out for few weeks.
Then, ten days ago. Mr.. Feick came
to Indianapolis with the information
that the railroads had fallen by the
wayside again, and were not obeyiug
these two laws even as to trains OPP
Grating wholly within this state, anC
of course not as to trains doing an in
terstate commerce business. The com
mission directed inquiries to the roads
| in question, asking what they wer'
| doing.
| And now comes Mr.. Feick with tn
| information that again the railroad
are doing their duty, performing thei
promises and obeying these laws
Every railroad in the state" he say
| lis complying to these laws" TIL

| formation.
