HOUSE FOR THE JURY
PREPARING FOR MEN TO FRY HAY
 WOOD.
Sheriff Has Rented Structure Adjacept To Court House and Omciai
 Cooks and Servants Have Been Retained.

Boise. Idaho. May 3.-The jury which will try William Haywood. the first of the, accused in the Stennenbcrg murder case. will be kept guarded during the trial
 The law of Idaho provides that such jurors shall be kept in seclusicn and the higher courts have always insisted upon strict compliance with this provision. Therefore. rather then take any chances, with the publicity of a hotel in this case, Sheriff Shad Holi- gan has hired a house for them. The house. standing on neat lawn and garden. is just across the street at the rear of the court house and within three hundred feet to the court room.
 To make the daily journeys of the jury as direct as possible. the sheriff has constructed A temporary stairway from the rear of the second story of the court house. Its upper landing Is the platform of a fire escape. and 1t IS reached through the ante room of Judge wood's chambers. The jury can therefore be taken directly to the stair way without leaving the railed enclos- ure of the court room. An official cook has been retained and arrangements have been made with local stores for a good and varied supply of food
 Four baiiifYs---two for day duty and two for night duty--will guard the jury. The house will be constantly watched. Entry to the open lawn will be prohibited and one of the day ball. tffs will remain at home while the jury is in court.
 The court room is being partly re- constructed to increase in its seating capacity.

appeals today through Judge Barker declined to dissolve an injunction granted by the Woodford circuit court to restrain tobacco raiser from break ing a contract into which he entered with the Burley Tobacco Society and selling his crop to the American To- bacco Company.
 IT. the action is raised the question of the constitutionality of the legisia- tive act. legalizing the forming of pools by farmers on their products adopted by the Kentucky assembly In 1906.
 In everything the motion to dissolve the injunction, Judge Barker writes that the six members of the court are so widely divided on the questions pre- sented that they prefer to pass them until the case comes regularly before the cour: on its merits and can be fully argued and presented. The ques- ton is probably the most interesting now before the people of Kentucky as upon the decisions rests the future of inc society of equity now flourishing among the farmers and tobacco rats- CTS of the state.

Gates Says New York WnI Soon Not
 Re Financial Centre.
 New York, May 3.--John W. Gates. who is going abroad for an extended period, and who recently announced that his firm would retire from the Wall street district Is quoted in an interview today, as declaring that he has abandoned Wall street for good.
 q am through with Wall street, he said. i've been busy down there off and on for quite a few years and I am done with it. Hereafter when return to this country I shall de- vote myself to the management of the business interests with which I am connected entirely apart from the stock market I'll have enough to do to keep me busy at that, I think"
 MT. and Mrs. John W. Gates will sail from New York about the middle of July and will not return until some time in October. They will spend about a month on a French hunting preserve.
 In giving his opinion of the future, Mir Gates said:
 "Financfal affairs in this country are undergoing 8 pronounced change. It will not be so long a time before New York will cease to be the whole thing financially to anything like the extent that 1t Is now. The western cities are constantly growing in fl- nancial importance. Chicago, St. Louis, St. Paul, Omaha and other cities have got to be recognized more and more as the years go by.
 "The financial center is v:sibly in- clining westward" he concluded.

Beatty who recently re- tired from the Federal district bench in that State.
 Judge Beatty presided when the grand jury returned indictments against number of persons for all legged timber land frauds It Is all leged that one of these indictments was found against Senator Borah, who has been general counsel for the cused of having secured lands by fraud. The alleged indictment against Senator Borah has not as yet been reported
 Senator Borah's statement fellows:
 T have read Judge Beatty's state ment and have only this to say:
 Judge Beatty for the last year seems to have utterly forgotten the high position he holds. During the last campaign for the Senatorship he used his position in a shameless and utterly dishonorable way for his po- litical advantage.
 He did not hesitate to demand and receive favors from litigants, who had important litigations in his court and so conducted himself as to compromise to a great extent his dignity and honor.
 T am sure it is to the credit and advantage of the judiciary that he is on his way to Egypt"

Bishop Belmont, senior warden of the church, which is one of the wealthiest on Long Island. A picture of the girl and two letters she wrote were turned over to MT. Bel mont and then by him given to the detectives in the hope of tracing the couple.
 District Attorney Franklin B. Cole of Nassau county. Is quoted as saying that he will do his utmost to bring Cooke back to that county to have him punished. He was asked by Mrs. Hen ry Wood of Eastrockaway, an aunt of Miss Whaley, to give the matter of Cooke's apprehension his personal at tention. Mrs. Wood is well to do and she says she will spare no expense to have Cooke arrested.
 Mir. Belmont is also exercised over the affair and he had several consul. tations with his chuch wardens re- garding 1t. Many rich New Workers who have places in Nassau county worship at St. Georges Church, in Long Island. 5-.
