East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-01

Huh 0'Neill, correspondent for the
Denver Post and oregon Daily Jour-
nal at Boise. writes the following
graphic account of a legal tourney
between Senator Borah and Clarence
Darrow in the Haywood trial at
Boise:
His name was Harmon Cox. He
had fought through the war from the
beginning to end. His shoulders
were stopped with years but his frame
was maccibe and vigorous and his
mind active. The button' of the
Grand Army of the Republic glinted
on his lapel. He had faced bloody
death on the battlefield many times
He sat in the back row of the Jurors
chairs In the court room this morn
ing, his long, gray beard hanging on
his chest like the sporran of a High
landers' kilt.
The prosecution had passed him
for cause. He was a reasonable man
and just and he would make a good
juror, but the defense did not want
him at all. There had been a sort of
strike lately in the office of the local
telephone company. 1t did not
amount to great deal. The hello"
girls had gone out. Other girls had
taken their places. The daughter of
Harmon Cox. soldier of the Grand
Army of the Republic, was one of
them. Therefore Harmon Cox was
not wanted by the defense.
He had to be got rid of and Clar-
ence barrow was to get rid of him.
The defense had only two peremptory
challenges left. They were priceless,
beyond rubles, So clarence Darrow
had to prove Harmon Cox so biased
apd preiudiced against the defendant
Haywood that he could not sit on
the Jury.
Dan'row is a very unconventional
person. He has been already per-
mitted by the court TO do many things
that other men never attempt. So he
sat AT the ,counsel's table before the
double line of Jurors chairs and
crossed his feet and spun his eye
glasses between his fingers and look
ed steadily at Harmon Cox OF the
Grand Army, with dull eyes under
peculiar brows. For some discern
ible minrtes the silence in the court
room was heavy. The shades over
the windows were drawn down. The
lights in the court room We're dim.
And the lawyer of the defense
commenced in a low, steady voice to
prove out of his own mouth that
Harmon Cox of the Grand Army was
n liar when he said he had no pre-
judice of any kind against the de-
fendant.
And Clarence DarIow failed. He
'a1., 'l' too. lie
asked Harmon Cox question after
question. He made speeches at him;
He suggested things THAI never were
in the mind of the juror at all. and
tried to convict him of holding them,
and when he found it quite impossi-
tle to prove that Harmon Cox was
unfit for a juror he lost his temper,
his face grew gray and damp with
sweat: his voice grew husky
He did not cut any longer the pa
thetlc and heroic figure he has been
cutting ever since the case COM
menced He came into futile conflict
with the court, and the conflict bruis-
ed him. He came into contact with
Borah of the prosecution, and Borah
stung him time and again, quickly.
cleverely and mercilessly.
For a moment Harmon Cox of the
Grand Army was forgotten to watch
the two chief nen who will fight
this case in their first grips. And

Not Reassuring.

A farmer, on a frosty autumn af-
tcrnoon, went out into MS turnip field
and began to gather tunips. The
early sun sank in the west, and as
the blush dusk came on the farmer
perceived at the other end of the
fi"l" two men, who, laying down a
bag, began to dig with frantic haste.
The farmer watched the pair in
some perplcxity. What could they
be doing7 And he was just putting
his hand to his check to shout and
ask them their business when one Of
them rose up and yelled loudly and
reassuringly:
"Don't let rs disturb yon; we are

The German Empress.
Boston Transcript.

For lady who figures before the
German people as ''Die Deutsche
Frau" with her husband commend
ing to his subjects the selection Of
wives who will follow the example
of their Empress and devote their
lives, as she has done, to the study
of "thc three K's-Kirche, Kinder
and Kutchen (Chruch, children
and cookery)-the German Empress
makes quite ilashing figure. She is
described as tall, fair and comely,
and bears herself with royal pres
ence and demeanor. Moreover, her
face is continually wreathed in
smiles; she is always tastefully attir-
ed, on state occasions resplendent in
%dress, and is a dashinG horsewomaa,
Never looking better that when rid
inn in her white uniform. Altogeth-
er Vne Emperor and the people Of
Gernhany are fortunate in mother
of royal family who fills the role to
such perfection, accomplished as she
is in ALL domestic occupations, and
devoted to her six sons and one
daughter. Politics she lets severely
alone, but not the social questions,
and she is believed to have been be-
mind the recent searching investiga-
tions into conditions Of the sweated
workers Of Germany. To, be serene
and placid without being dull is q
most happy combination for her in
offset for the temperament of her
strenuous husband. Such has been
the outcome of the lovc-match thc
Kaiser made as a very young MAI
with the Princess Augusta Of Schles-
wig-Holstein.

ROOSEVELT ENDS
THIRD TERM TALK
PRESIDENT REPEATS HIS ELEC-
TION NIGHT UTTERANCE
All Doubt Dispelled as to His Atti-
tude-Bryan Says he is not
Surprised.

Washington, December 11.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be candi-
date for third term. All doubt on
this point was dispelled today by the
authoiZed statement from the White
House that Mr.. Roosevelt still adher-
ed to the declaration made three
years ago. In the statement issued
tonight President Roosevelt says he
has not changed and shall not change
the decision communicated to the
public in 1904.
1t appears that the president has
been awaiting the call for the Re-
publican National Convention to- af-
ford the proper opportunity for max
ing his position clear and unmistaka-
BILE, and thus leave The field clear
for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox,
Foraker and other declared or re-
ceptive candidates for the Republi-
can nomination. The presidents s
statement follows:
"On the night after the election I
made the following announcement:
tI am deeply sensible Of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what I have tried to do. I appre-
ciatc to the full the solemn RESPONSE
bility this confidence imposes upon
me and I shall do all that in my
power lies not to forfeit it. On the
fourth of March next T shall have
served three and half years, and
this three and a half years constitute
my first term. The wise custom,
which limits the president to two
terms regards the substances, and
not the form. and under no circum-
stances will I be a candidate for or
accept another nomination.
