SENATOR B(RAHS TR|AL
Jury Hearing Details of the Alleged Conspiracy to Defraud Govern
 ment at Boise.
WITNESSES CONFESS ID WRONG DOING
Wiling to Tell of Making False Affi- davits to Get Government Timber ciaims--Judge Rurch in His Open ing Statement Said Prosecution Would Produce Dummy Trustee.'

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 27.-Having ac- complished much of the tedious work Of identifying and placing on the rec ord the papers i'll about half hundred of the alleged fraudulent claims filed on timber lands in the interest of the Barber Lumber company, the govern ment attorneys in charge of the prose- cution of United States Senator Wm. D. Borah, who acted as attorney for the company, began Thursday to un- fold in narrative form details of the alleged conspiracy that is said to have begun in 1899 and have continued down to the filing in 1901 of the first Of the f0S deeds covering 160 acres each of thickly wooded forest land anu finally turned over to the lumber corporation.
 Witnesses who are willing to con fess to alleged wrong doing and to making false affidavits when they swore they were taking out timber claims in their own interest and with out agreement to transfer the claim to other persons, will have largely to do with the presentation of the govern ment's case.
 Iii his opening statement to the jury Former Judge Burch, of Detroit, the special assistant of the attorney gen eral, sent here to take an active part in the prosecution, announced that the government would offer as one of the principal witnesses, George S. Long, who, it is alleged, acted as dummy trustee" to receive title to claims from dummy entrymen, and transfer the property later to the Barber Lumber company. This lumber company, a Wisconsin corporation having it's mill in this city, came into being, the gov crnment asserts, after the alleged frauds were well under way and was organized to hold and make use of the lands secured through the so-called conspiracy Long will tell you," de- cafed Mr. Bureh to the jury, that he morally loaned his name as a dummy

Maryland, Penn sylvania and Colorado, under com mand of Rear Admiral Dayton, arrived here Friday morning, several hours ahead of the expected time. Arrange ments had been made to give the yes sels an elaborate reception, and a
 wireless message was sent to Rear Admiral Dayton Friday night, asking him to defer entering the port until
 afternoon. This message, however, either was not received or was disre- garded for at 7:30 a. m. the pig four" as the cruisers have come to be known, passed through the Golden Gate They moved slowly in line about an eighth of mile apart, the West Virginia in the lead and dropped anchor off Goat Island near the Cruiser St. Louis, which has been in port for several weeks.

PROHIBITION MAY
 BE A STATE ISSUE
Should the Rev. W. I. Arnis of Hot Springs Become Candidate the Fight Would Be on Judge
 Kavanaugh May Run.

Little Rock, Sept. 27. There is every probability that Judge W. M. Kavanaugh of Little Rock will be- come a candidate for governor. Judge Kavanaugh has been con sidered as possibility for some time. but he has refused to make known his intentions regarding the gubernatorial race He indicated last night, however. that he would probably enter the race.
 The entrance of Judge Kavanaugh into the guhernatorial handicap would complicate the situation in several ways. He would add 3 new element to the fight. There are four candidates for governor already in the field with their announce ments. Judge Kavanaugh, if he enters the race. as is now expected, will make five, and there is a possi- billty of sixth candidate in Rev. w. T. Anus of Hot Springs.
 Mr. Amis has not announced his intentions with blare of trum- pets, but 1t is generally understood that if he should become q candidate he would make statewide prohibi- tion his principal issue. There is an undercurrent of feeling apparent in political and business circles that the prohibition question is bound to be an issue in Arkansas before many years. The spread of the prohibition sentiment throughout the country, as shown by the passage of the pro- hibition law by the last legislature of Georgia, as well as by the steadily increasing proportion of dry coun- ties in those states which have local option, has led to a widespread be- lief that the prohibition question is bound to be an issue in Arkansas sooner or later. The fact that four fifThs of the counties in Arkansas are now in the dry" column and that the total vote for and against license in the state in the past two elections has shown a majority against license, has convinced the
 
 prohibititonists that the time is com ing when they can place the whole state in a prohibition district. It is not likely that prohibition would be Mir. Amis only issue, as he has talk cn n decided stand on the state capitol matter and would probably devote some time to that question.

Lincoln. Neb., Sept 26.--Under the new statewide direct primary law Tuesday was the day designated for all political parties represented on the primary ballot to hold their state plat form conventions. Of the five parties there republicans. democrats and pop ulists gathered in considerable num- bers. The prohibitionists held no con yention. and the socialists were with. out representation. save for one dele gate, who certified to a platform and organization with the secretary of state.
 The feature of the democratic con vention was the speech of w. J. Bryan. He congratulated the party, state and national, on having emerged from the valley of the shadow of death. which, he said, the republicans hopelessly divided, were just entering.
 An unqualified endorsement of President Roosevelt's administration and leadership is given in the repub lican platform. A continuation of his policies is insisted on, and a refer ence to Secretary Taft is made as follows:
 While not presuming to forestall the action of any future convention we express the belief that the repub- licans of Nebraska recognize in the Honorable William H. Taft, of Ohio, one whose personal character and whose long public service mark him as pre-eminently the man under whose leadership these policies would be perpetrated. The platform declares the republican party of the state com mitted to the following reforms, which 1t has inaugurated.
 A statewide direct primary. Abo- lition of the free-pass evil. Compre- hensive powers for the state railway commission. More equitable rates for transportation of passengers and freight. Equal taxation of railroad property for city purposes. Abolition of fellow-servant law and full employ. CTS liability.
 On federal judiciary interference in states the platform says: We favor the enactment of a federal law and if necessary amendment to the federal constitution which will forbid the federal courts from issuing wrlts of injunction against state officers cnarged by law with the enforcement of state statutes"
 The democratic platforms opens with eommendation of William J. Bryan, saying We. the democratic party of Nebraska, in delegate con. vention assembled. express our con. tinued confidence in, and admiration for, Honorable Wm. Jennings Bryan and reassert our fidelity to the prin. ciples which he has so ably advo. cated, and which at this time ara so

MILL APPROVE
Oklahoma Constitution as Ratified at Election Will be Fundamen-
 tai Law of New State.
LAST OBSTACLE TO STATEHOOD REMOVED
Oklahoma and Indian Territory Will Now Be Admitted to the Union as the Forty-sixth State-Decision Made After Study of Document With Attorney General.

Washington, Sept 28.-Oklahoma, with its 1,500.000 people, will become the 46th state in the American Union. All doubt was removed when the president late Thursday authorized newspaper correspondents, who had called to see him in the executive of fees, to make the announcement that he would approve the constitution. The president explained that his de- cision had been determined at the election, which has just been held, the official returns from which have not yet been reported.
 The president made no secret of the fact that he did not personally approve of the constitution. But the enabling act provides that he shall issue a proclamation within 20 days after the official returns have been reported to him ratifying the consti- tuition, provided that instrument is re- publican in form and complies with the terms of the enabling act. Thurs day morning the president saw Sena- tor Curtis. He did not inform the Kansas senator of his intentions. Later in the day he saw the attorney general, MT. Moody. and discussed with him the provisions of the consti' tuition. The president was advised that there was nothing unconstitu. tional in the constitution of the pro posed state and without further far mality decided to make known his in tentions.
 The president will start on his Southern trip this week and expects to, be gone several weeks. It will be impossible to submit the returns to him here during this long absence and a period of suspense was avoided by his promptness in disposing of the question. The presidents decision at this time was totally unexpected. The official returns from the census show Ing whether the legislature gerry. mander was good, bad or indifferent had not been examined by him, nor did he wait to hear from the Okla. homa contingent which had organized anew to urge reasons why the new state should be denied admission. At various times persons pretending tc speak for the president have asserted that he would decline to issue proc lamation No one has ever been au, thorized to make any statements for the president on this subject. That he did not like many of the proyis ions in the proposed constitution he has frankly stated, and the presi dents objections to them were voiced in the speech made by Secretary Taft at Oklahoma City. When talking of the constitution, the president laughingly said; What I think oI the constitution is unprintable,"

DIAMOND FIELD VERY LIMITED.
Prof. Purdue Says There Cannot Be More Than a Few Acres at Most.

From the Gazette.
 Writing to Senator James r. Clarke relative to tue diamond neIds in Pike county, Prof. A. H. Purdue, state geologist at the University at Fayetteville says part:
 "Ireceuily spent two days at Murfreesboro. There seems 10 be no question but that about 1s0 diamonds have been found where they were formed, CT but a short distau,e removed from their original position.
 "At this place there is all area of igueous rock occupying, ac- cording 10 the reports oi the late Geological Survey of Arkansas, between so and 20 acres in area. II is in this rock that the dia- monds were first formed, and all of the finds thus far made, have been in tue soil resulting rom disintegratiou of the rock.
 "As the area of igneaus rock is very limited, and as this rock is the source of the diamonds. it follows that the diamond bearing ground will be confined to the area of igneous rock aud the land immediately surrounding it. So that only few hundred acres at the outside can be considered as diamond bearing.
 While there seems no doubt but that Arkansas can boast of a diamond field the only one 50 far known in the country it yet remains to be determined as to whether or not the diamonds exist in sufficient quantity to pay Tor working.
