Go Back to Work.
The American machinists and other
skilled labOrers went back to work yes

a gang of some 300 foreigners to get to
the smelter plant gate. They were not
interfered with, however, and will con-

The foreigners kept off the streets Of
Murray TO a great extent yesterday.
Their leaders declare the men will new

as they can get more money in other
parts of the west at other smelling
plants and on railroad construction.
Several deputy sheriffs went down
from Salt Lake yesterday and spent

that they will succeed. Yesterday was

Columbus, o., May 9.-Chairman Ar

forces in Ohio, said today:
1.-The purpose of Taft's friends in agi-
tating the question of the choice of
Ohio Republicans for the presidency
was to dispel the notion that he would
not get the united support OF Ohio The
events OF the past few weeks seem to
have eliminated today in the voluntary
withdra wal, without stipulation, of all
opposition. and in the complete demon
stration that the Republicans of Ohio
are solidly for Taft for president, and
the movement will go forward now
with every prospect of mis- nomination. :"

| to any fund for the prosecution of the
prisoners, If they were members of the
Citizens alliance. if they remembered
the old labor troubles in Idaho, and if
they had taken sides i'm the labor trOu-
bles at the time. A remarkable feature
of this examination was that all of the
/ talesmen questioned by the defense
sWoTe that they had not been influ-
/ enced by the letter of President Roose-
welt or the speeches of other officials
of the national or state government,
and a majority of them said they were
Republicans.
Line on the Defense.
The chief concern of the counsel for
the state in the examination of tales
men, as indicated by their questions.
was their attitude toward circumstan-
/ tial evidence, the absence of the ac-
cused from the state when the crime
was committed. the effect of the man
ner in which the prisoner and his COM
panions were brought from Colorado,
the views of the talesmen as to the
death penalty for murder in the first
degree, and on union labor. They also
questioned each talesman as to his ac-
quaintance with the murdered governor
with a view to disclosing friendship or
enmity- Their examination brought
out the fact that certain labor and So
cialistic papers are being. distributed
free of charge in parts of Ada county
The custom of the Idaho courts in
selecting juries for criminal cases is
TO call twelve talesmen to the Jury
box and to keep the box full by imme-
diately filling any vacancies that oc-
cur. The state first conducts a COM
plete examination that continues I'M
til twelve men have been passed, when
the body of talesmen pass to the de-
Tense for examination. The state passed
twelve men early this afternoon and
the general examination is in the hands
of the defense. OF the eleven men re-
naming in the box at the close of to-
days session, only three have been
passed by both sides. They have not
been finally accepted and sworn and
are still subject TO peremptory chal-
lenge.
They are A. L. Ewing a carpenter
and veteran of the civil war; William
Van Orsdale, a grocer of Boise, and
Samuel D. Gilman. a farmer, who lives
in the country ten miles from Boise
Gilman served in the Philippines with
the Idaho volunteers. Under the law as
recently amended each side has ten per-
emptory challenges.
Judge Wood announced that he in
tended TO give both sides wide latitude
in the examination of talesmen. He
also showed willingness to grant chal-
lenges where there seemed any reason
able objection to the attitude OF the
talesman and in the one contest of the
day he ruled with the defense. which
had challenged the talesman and was
resisted by the state.
