HAYWOOD MOVER MOVE. BILL OF PARTICULARS Decision on Petition of De- fendants' Counsel to Be

Hawley his associate, was in the court room when the proceedings began. The discuss sion, always earnest, was characterized at times by deep feeling and dramatic Intensity.

STAINS UNBORN HEIR.
Discussion Causes Both Indignation
 and Amusement.

Madrid, May 6.-It was semi officially announced to-day that the accouche- ment of Queen Victoria may be expect ed the end of May.
 This announcement was subsequently, contradicted by Dr. Guttierez, the specialist, who is in permanent at- tendance at the palace, who declared that the royal baby should have ar rived before this. There was much surprised comment at the discrepancy in these statements, and careful in- quiry was made with the result that the official statement issued the be- ginning of the year, placing the event the latter part of May, turns out to be correct. The incident has caused both indignation and amusement, and 1t has revealed that the physicians who issued a report on April 2, saying the accouchement probably would occur the latter part of April, were in error,
 The newspapers demand that some one be made to answer for this ridicu- lous mistake, which has kept the nation on the tiptoe of needless excitement, and entaled many premature prepara- tions. They instance the fact that no fewer than twenty bishops have ar rived at Madrid within the last ten days, in order to be in readiness for the birth of the heir to the throne of Spain.
 Queen Victoria drove out this morn ing as usual, but she complained of a slight chill on returning, and remained in the palace the rest of the day

Sea of Oranges.

A sea covered with oranges is one of the unusual attractions near this city, at the mouth of the Santa Clara riv- CT. Thousands upon thousands of or anges floating on the oceans surface, many of them strewing the beach, give an indescribably beautiful golden hue to the sea.
 There was wonder for some time as to how the oranges got into the sea- The belief was general that they came from washed out orchards in the east end of the country, owing to the high storm waters in the river This is not the case, however The oranges were deliberately thrown into the Sespe Creek from the Sespe bridge, twenty five miles back from the coast From the Sespe they found their way back into the Santa Clara river and thence into the sea.
 The oranges are from the great pack ing houses in the Sespe country. They are known as culls, but most of them are good or were when dumped eff the bridge. It is claimed that only the best oranges can be shipped and sold Los Angeles Times.

WARSHIP TUBE SCANDAL ONE PLEADS GUILTY. Turns States Evidence on Charge of Conspiracy
 to Defraud.

Pittsburg, May 6.-The case of J. Jay Dunn, Charles |. Close and Frank U. Emmett, former employees of the Shell by Steel Tube company of Greenville, Pa., charged with conspiracy to de- fraud the United States government in connection with installing alleged defective tubes on the war vessels Pennsylvania, Louisiana. Maryland, Charleston, Nebraska, Minnesota, Yer mont, washington and Tennessee, was called to-day into the United States district court before Judge Nathaniel Ewing
 The scandal has attracted attention for some years past. One of the de- fendants, Frank l.. Emmett, pleaded guilty to-day and waived hearing. United States District Attorney John w. Dunkle explained that Emmett had turned states evidence, and some sem sational testimony is expected to de- velop during the trial.
 The entire morning session was oc- cupied in the selection of a jury.
 The specific charges against the three defendants involve the alleged furnish- ing of defective boiler tubes to United States naval vessels from the Green vile (Pa.) mills of the Shelby Steel Tube company, by which the defend- ants were employed.
 Over sixty witnesses from different sections of the country have been sub poenaed, and the trial Is expected to continue throughout the week.
 Mr Dunkle opened with an address to the jury in which he told of the cir cumstances of the case, including the statement that Emmett had arranged with the government to plead guilty and turn states evidence and appear as a witness for the prosecution. He stated that the Shelby Steel Tube conl- pany had been manufacturing tubes for the navy department since 1S9S but that the conspiracy charged was en- tered into in 1902, the defendants being superintendent and assistant superin- tendents of the Greenville mill ot the company. The alleged plot, he said, continued until 1905, that Dunn was not one of the conspirators during all that time, but that he knew defective tubes were being furnished for battleships and cruisers.
 Mr. Dunkle explained at length the method of making and inspecting the tubes, giving a minute description ol the latter. He told how the alleged fraud was perpetrated by the defend ants having worknlen remedy defects l in rejected tubes.

Instructions to Police That Peace and Order Must

San Francisco, May 6.-The labor sit uation in San Francisco to-day showed no change from yesterday. The street cars were not running, the telephone service was crippled, thousands of iron workers were still holding out for an eight-hour day, and nearly all of the big laundries were idle. No attempt to run cars was made to-day. Condi- tions were made more serious by the virtual suspension of the telephone ser vice.
 That President Calhoun, of the Unit ed Railways, no longer recognizes the local Garments union, and that his att titude is final, was the statement made to-day by his assistant, Thorn Wall Mullally. Asked whether the company would receive and confer with com- mittee of the strikers, if it came as representative of the men, as individ- uals, MT. Mullally said:
 Yes, but no committee representing the local union will be recognized. The company has. no quarrel with unionism as a principle, nor is it opposed to orr ganized labor as body, but it is done with the local Garments union. That union has twice broken faith with the company and has seized many oppor- tunities to annoy and harass the conn pany prior to presenting the unrea- sonable and impossible demand formu- lated within two months after the Unit ed Railways had granted an increase of 20 per cent. In wages"
 Mayor Schmitz said that he had is- sued orders to Chief of Police Dinan that peace and order must be main- tained at any cost, and that persons carrying arms were to be arrested without respect to which side in the controversy they represented.

HAVOC AT CONEY ISLAND
AXE DOES ITS WORK
Everything Nearer Than Twenty Feet to Curb Line
 Chopped Away.

New York, May 6.-Armed with axes and guarded by a squad of twenty-five policemen, gang of men, directed by Durbin Van Week, assistant commis- sioner of public works of Brooklyn, descended upon Surf avenue, the main thoroughfare of Coney Island to-day and topped off every part of any kind of a building, stand or sign which ex- tended beyond the court yard line, While the indignant owners protested soda fountains were chopped in two, frankfurter stands were torn apart, overhanging signs were pulled down, cane ringing racks and the dozen diff ferent oatch-penny devices which line the avenue from end to end were piled into trucks and carted away. When the raiding squad had completed its work the avenue looked as though a cyclone had swept through it tearing away everything nearer than twenty feet to the curb line. At least twenty truckloads of material were hauled off
 The loss to the owners of those stands will be considerable as many of them paid extremely high rates for the privilege of maintaining their stands within easy reach of the hundreds of thousands of people who patrol Surf avenue during the season.
 Borough President Coler issued an order last week that all the incum- brances extending over the court yard line must disappear to-day but none of the owners paid any attention to 1t. When the raiders started to work, the owners hurriedly moved their goods out of the way of the raiders and then denounced them. A curious crowd of a thousand onlookers gathered to watch the proceedings Although the denun- citations were vigorous there was no resistence.
 When the work was done the com
 missioner notified the proprietors that ten feet more of the incumbrances will be chopped off if they are not removed by next Thursday. This will place all the stands inside the building line.
