THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

The attorneys of William ID. Hay
wood completed the details of their
plans for the final week of the de-
tense. Interest in the trial this time
centers in the forthcoming appearance
upon the stand of Haywood, who, 1t
is claimed, has been the moving force
in the Western Federation of Miners
for the past several years, and one OF
his codefendants, Charles Meyer, the
president of the miners organization.
The Haywood trial was adjourned
for two days and the attorneys asked
to expedite their arrangements for
the closing of the case. 1t was thought
a verdict or disagreement might be
reached in two weeks.
The prosecution in the Haywood
trial served notice of its intention TO
submit a series of motions to strike
out evidence of the defense unless the
connecting up testimony that has
been promised is forthcoming.
Max Malich, Joe Mehelich and Billy
Altman, variously implicated in al
legged misconduct at Globeville, Den
yer and Cripple Creek, on the word OF
Harry Orchard, went on the stand as
witnesses for William ID. Haywood
and made denial of Orchards testi.

ExtradItIon lmprobabIe.

Governor Warner will, It is expect

for the extradition of Daniel Baxter,

to try on a charge OF conspiracy to
defraud insurance companies.

the confessions of "Old Jack" Page,

o., TO burn stores, residences and
barns to secure the insurance money.
AS Gov. Warner refused the request
to extradite Ira Bryant. of Hudson, on
the strength of this confession, IL is
regarded as certain that MIR. Baxter
will not be turned over TO the Ohio
authorities. Baxter, who is advanced
in years, was for years a member of
the village council of Bryan and a
leader in the community. One of his
sons, Charles Z. Baxter, was formerly
deputy state treasurer OF Michigan
and now holds an important position
in Detroit with an insurance COM
pany.

Dates Changed AGAIN.

Because the primaries for the cleo
ton of delegates to the constitutions
al convention will be held on August
Is, the state military authorities are
compelled to again change the date for
opening the state encampment of the
Michigan National Guard to August
IA.
The military board had first set Au
gust 10 as the opening day. but the
Pere Marquette objected because this
would hinder their Sunday excursion
business too much, SO August II was
selected. Then someone remembered
the primaries and the second change
was made. The troops will visit Sagi.

BRIEFLY TOLD
VOTE WHICH MR.. KELLEY CAST
WAS ILLEGAL, SAYS
MR.. BIRD.
THE RESOLUTION is VOID
Attorney-GeneraI's Opinion on the
Matter Of Submitting a Question to
the People.
II Is Unconstitutional.

In a lengthy opinion Attorney-Gen-
sral Bird replies ia two questions sub
mitted by Secretary of State Prescott
as to the adoption of senate resolu-
ion No. 81, entitled Concurrent reso-
luton submitting TO a vote of the
people the question of nomination OF
United States senator, governor and
lieutenant-governOr, by direct vote of
the electors" and whether the secre-
tary of state should give the notices
and take all such proceedings as are
required of him by said resolution,
or should he treat said resolution as
having failed of adoption by the nee
essary vote of the senate, as such
vote appears in the senate journal?"
The senate journal of June 10, 1907,
pages 1914 ct seq, shows that when
this resolution came before the SEN
ate TO be voted upon, in the regular
course of business, sixteen senators
voted yea and sixteen senators voted
nay; whereupon the lieutenant-gover-
nor, as president of the senate, voted
yea and declared the resolution adopt

sions OF the constitution bearing on
the duties and powers OF the lieuten.

the several constitutional provisions

clear that such power and authority
cannot be extended by implication
and, in my opinion, is limited to the
action of the senate when in commit
tee OF the whole.
While this resolution on its face
purpOrts to be a concurrent resolu-
ton. it is in effect a joint resolution
as defined by the supreme court in
the case of Olds VS.. State Land Com

such requires for its adoption the
affirmative vote of a majority of all
the members elected by each house.

In this connection / would say that,
in my opinion, legislation which is to
have the force of law, whether desig-
mated as a bill. concurrent resolution
or joint resolution, cannot be legally
enacted without the affirmative vote
of majority OF the members elected
TO each house. The resolution under
consideration did not receive the af.
firmative vote of a majority of the
members elected to the state senate.
| would, therefore, say in answer
to your first question, that this reso-
luton was not adopted in accordance
with the requirements of the state
constitution, and is unconstitutional

In answer to your second question.

that said resolution is unconstitutional

MINERS ETIQUETTE
STRICT RULES GOVERN IN THE
WESTERN DESERT.
It Is Not Considered Polite to Ask
Where Any Mans Claims or
Secret Water Holes Are
Located.

"Never ask a man anything about
his mine; he won't tell you il you do.
1t isn't etiquette to ask such ques-
tions on the desert"
Thus spoke j. Heineman, late OF
Beatty, an old timer in Death valley
and the desert.
"You see, when one miner meets
another on the desert they stop, talk
and pass pleasantries. One will ask
the other how he's getting along and
he will say good or hard luck, but
that's about all. Neither asks for de-
tails or where the other has his claims
located If any man wants you TO
know he'll tell you without being
asked If not he won't tell you If you
do ask.
1.-THE fact is that if man has
great body of low grade ore that he
must have force of men TO work and
ship to the smelters he must record
il. But IL he has a rich spot with
free gold easily handled IL is not nee
essary, and many times one doesn't
care to have the world know about
it and have everybody coming to dig
all around. 1t often leads to troubles
and litigation, jumping and all that
sort of thing.
eff a property is in the mountains

give him a chase that will make him
very sick of his job. OF course in
such cases a claim is never left un-
guarded If anyone should stumble up
on it by accident. In such case pos
session will be nine points of the law.
"This is so not only about mines
but also about private secret water
holes. You know some of these give
so little water that once known to the
general public they would be of no
use to those who went to big trouble
finding them, or to anyone else very
soon, so they never tell. Let one who
has such a place hidden find one in
need he will share his water. and, IL
necessary, he will go and bring back
supply, but the other fellow doesn't
know where it comes from. That's
the finders secret.
"Of course there are public water
ing places. especially along the stage
routes. Some wells have been dug by
individuals or companies who sell
water. Lots of money has been ex-
pended in this way. The water prob
lem is indeed a serious one on the
desert.
cat some of the camps water is
hauled by team and sells for as high
as nine dollars barrel. People who
don't know think that is a terrible
price, but 1t really leaves very small
profit for the long haul and the time
lost and feed of teams. Often much
of the water with which one starts is
used by the horses. Los Angeles
