DROWN IN PAYETTE RAPIDS.
gers, Overturn-SeVen Are
Drowned.

In the angry waters of the south
fork of the Payette seven men lost
their lives Thursday afternoon. They
were Joe Boden, Bert IRE, Mel Curtis
Joe Hamilton, Tom Highland, Frank
Fitzgerald and David Mcmillan. 1t
is not anticipated that the bodies will
be recovered soon.
The men were in the employ of the
Idaho White Pine Mining company of
Nampa and were engaged, under the
SUPPLEMENTARY of H. F. Strong, in
bringing down log drive. The party
had two boats which were used on
stretches of the stream where they
could be handled. Thursday afternoon
the two boats pulled into a large eddy
just IL miles above Garden Valley,
near the place where the accident oc-
CURED, it being the intention to tie up
there for the night and let the boats
down through the rapids below in the
morning.
The first boat failed to make land
ing properly and the men determined
to run the rapids. Soon after it struck
the bad water the boat filed and sank.
The men in the second boat thought
the first had succeeded in making the
run safely and started down after it,
meeting with the same fate. Nine
succeeded in reaching the shore after
a terrible experience in the boiling
water. Some of them were carried
down a long distance before they could
work their way to a landing place.
None of the drowned men had fami-
lies so far as known, and it is not
known from whence they came. They
were loggers.

Boise, Idaho, June 5. - Through
James H. Hawley, senior of the group
of prosecutors, the state of Idaho Tues
day made the opening statement
against William d. Haywood, whom
it is charges with the murder of Frank
Steunenberg, and then began the PIE
sentation of testimony by which it
hopes to prove the indictment laid
against him.
The opening statement was a broad,
sweeping arraignment of the leaders of
the Western Federation of Miners, who
were charged with plotting wholesale
murder and hiring assassins, all in a
giant conspiracy IF vengeance upon
those who obstructed their way, to de-
stroy opposition by terrorism, to con-
troll the political destines of the COM
munities covered by their organization
and to perpetuate their own power
within the organization.
1t is charged a widespread conspir-
acy dating in inception from the north
Idaho disturbances l 3 years ago, reach
ing down to the murder of Frank
Steunenberg, and whose murdered vic
Tins, bullet and bomb, numbered
scores. Hawley declared that where
ever in the mining section of the Coast
states the federation had been in con-
troll there had been left a trail of blood
to mark its operations.
OF the hired assassins he cried: "To
them murder became a trade and as
sassination a means of living

We're Tuesday denied admittance to the
United States capital until after they

from the Richmond reunion, and after

that they would be allowed admission
to the capital only as private citizens
and not as an organized body.

the veterans must break ranks and dis

JOE CHAMBERLAIN VERY WEAK
Unable to Rise and Bow to London
Admirers.

London-After the recent reassur-
ing reports from Santa Raphael,
France, regarding the improvement in
the health of Joseph Chamberlain, his
arrival in England Saturday was some
what of a shock to his friends, who
had gathered to meet him, both here
and at Dover.
Mr.. Chamberlain was accompanied
by his wife and son, Neville When the
train arrived at the Victoria station
he was seen lying back on the cush-
ions, seemingly almost helpless. He
made no effort to rise until assisted by
his wife and son, and it was remarked
that he made a vain attempt to raise
his hat in response to cheer from the
crowd.
Mr.. Chamberlain was almost carried
to his carriage. He drove to his Lon
don residence. 1t seems that he is
quite unable to walk by himself
Twitchings of the facial muscles sug-
gested that the effects of his recent
seizure have not been completely sha-
ken off.
The family authorized the follow
ing statement:
"Mr Chamberlain has returned much
improved in health and none the worse
for the long journey. He has not yet
made any plans, but will certainly re-
main in London for a time.

FRANCE AMID STRIKE
ALL SHIPPING AT STANDSTILL
FOR WANT OF men.
Every Port Effected-AII Seamen
Join Strike-Skippers Are Liable to
Punishment for Desertion-Wine
Growers Up Against Problem and
Are Protesting Hard.

Paris.-The striking seamen are
displaying extraordinary unanimity. 1t
is the same tale in every port in
France. Not only are ships unable to
start, owing to the desertion of Of
ficers and men, but the men aboard
French vessels arriving Immediately
throw in their lot with the strikers,
even though their voyages are incom-
plete and they are liable to prosecu-
ton for so doing The decision of the
government to lend bluejackets at the
request of ship owners to replace
strikers has proved abortive up to the
present. The first vessel on which
they embarked, belonging at Mar
settles, was unable to sail because it's
officers refused to navigate it.
Many of the striking shippers are
placed in a peculiar position owing to
the action of the authorities in refus-
ing to accept their papers when pre-
sented unless accompanied by the
ship owners written consent, which
is not forthcoming. These men are
therefore liable to punishment for de-
sertion, as technically they are still
in command and are responsible for
their vessels.
The difficulties of the government
have increased owing to the strike
coming at a time when the wine grow
ers in the south are protesting Wig
orously.
At HaVre.
A large body of strikers boarded the
steamer Suzanne Marie and compelled
her crew to disembark They then
put out the fires under the boilers of
the vessel The police arrived and
cleared the ship of strikers.
Disturbances took place between
striking fishermen and fishermen who
had not ceased work. Eventually.
however, the latter joined the move
ment.
At Marseiles.
The steamer Isly, having on board
crew of bluejackets, was unable to
leave port because the officers of the
vessel refused to navigate her.
All troops are confined to barracks,
in readiness to suppress a disturb
ance.

At Nantes strikers prevented river
steamers from departing.

FIERCE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT
Long, Nature Writer, Says President
Is No Sportsman.

is No Sportsman.
New York-Dr. William ]. Long,
the nature writer, who was attacked
by President Roosevelt in a recent
magazine article, has fired another
broadside at the president. He ac-
cused the chief executive of plagiar-
ism and wildly pictured his cruelties
of hunting, either instances from
Roosevelt's published stories of ex-
periences with big game. Concluding
his statement, DR.. Long said:
ut is not your hunting to which I
object, for l also am a hunter, but
your unnecessary brutality and bar
barism. The bloody endings over
which you gloat bring little self-satis-
faction to thoughtful man who has
seen the last look in the eyes of a
stricken deer and who remembers that
even this small life has it's mystery.
you are not sportsman, though
you have slain your thousands; you
are not a naturalist, though you have
measured hides and horns you do not
and you can not understand the
hearts of the wild things, though you
have made a grievous quantity of
them bleed. 1t needs no eyewitness
nor any affidavit to support this state
ment. You have yourself furnished all
the proof"

GODS FIRST TEMPLES.

By William Cullen Bryant. The groves were Gods first temples. Ere
 man learned To hew and shape. and lay the archi-
 trave, And spread the roof above them-ere he
 framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems-in the darkling
 wood, Amidst the cool and silence, he knelt
 down And offered to the Mghtiest solemn
 thanks And supplcation. For his simple heart Might not resist the sacred influences, That, from the stilly twilight of the
 place, And from the gray old trunks, that high
 in heaven, Mingled their messy boughs, and from
 the sound Of the invisible breath that swayed at
 once All their green tops. stole over him, and
 bowed His spirit with the thought of boundless
 power And inaccessible majesty. An why Should we, in the worlds riper years,
 neglect Gods ancient sanctuaries, and adore Only among the crowd. and under roofs That our fral hands have raised Let
 me, at least, Here, in the shadow of this aged wood, Offer one hymn thrice happy, if it find Acceptance in His ear.
