1t Try One OF Our Csc Notwithstanding GRILL CAFE

bring peace into the relations of the
two great warning interests of the tele
phone world, and cement the 1000 in
dependent companies of the United
States and Canada, representing an
aggregate investment of $35O,000, 900
into one mighty organization, is
known as the Indiana idea" Its sue
cessful application in the Hoosier state
has abolished the competition, fatal
to dividends, heretofore prevailing,
and resulted in bringing about com
munity of interests between the
trust" and the Independents.
The warfare in Indiana, where the
independ entS now have 100000 tele-
phones in operation. mas been the bit
terest Of any state in the Uniol, and
has resulted in a practical victory for
the "truSt-buSters" The Bell com
pany has agreed to withdraw from all
the towns in the state, with the eXcep-
tion of two, provided the independents
will handle their toll business such as
cannot be sent over Independent lines
1t is expected THAT tnis compromise
agreement will soon be put into effect
in many states and finally throughout
the country. Delegates to the con-
vention allege that this will not only
give the Independents greater profit
but will be a great benefit to the pub
lie through better service.
Another important matter to be dis
cussed is the unification of the vari-
Gus independent long distance com
panies and the building of additional
connecting lines, giving a satisfactory
service to the 100000 independent
'pnone users. This project will prob
ably first be put into execution in the
central states and gradually extended
throughout the country
According to reports of officials, the
past year has been the most prosper
Gus in the history of the Independent
movement. Over $1,000, 900 has been
invested in the Independent plants
within the last twelve months. Bos-
ton, Providence, Omaha, Milwaukee
and Denver, among dozens of otner
large cities, have granted franchises
for competing systems. In the middle
West the Independents are almost in
absolute control, except in some of the
great cities. On the Pacific coast and
in the Rocky mountain district the In
dependents are rapidly wrestling SUI
premacy from the trust Indepen-
dent companies ARE springing up all
over the South, especially in Tennes-
see and Alabama. In Canada, Ontario
Manitoba and Alberta will soon be
covered with a network of Indepen-
dent wires.
Despite the arrangements of the
Bell Company to restrict competition,
there will be no cessation in Indepe1-
dent construction during the coming
year. according to the officials of the
ass sociatiOn. The convention will ex-
tend through tomorrow and Thursday.

Boise, Idano, June 4-The court
room filled quickly this morning with
persons who came to hear the open
ing statement of the prosecution in
the famous Haywood case. Haywood
WIS a trihe pale as he took his place
near the counsel table, but declared
that he felt quite well'' after his
brief illness last night Mrs. Haywood
was wheeled into tne court room in
her invalid chair.
James II. Hawley commenced his
address to the jury at 9:46. He de-
clared that he had no intention on
going into the details of the states
case to any great extent He told of
the positions in the Western Fedenl-
ton of Miners held by Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone, and said that
Harry Orchard, VINO confessed to plac
ing the bomb which killed Governor
Steunenbefg. was also a member of
the Western Federation as was Jack
Simpkins, VINO has never been appre-
hended. Hawley told the jury that
while Haywood. Pettibone and Meyer
are specifically charged in the indict-
ment with having exploded a bomb.

tiOn to prove that they were even il

Hawley said that they expected to
prove the officers and executive COM
mittee of the Western Federation re-
sponsible for not only the death OF
Steunelberg. but scores of others.
The defense objected to this stilte-
ment, but the objection was overrul-
ed. In reply TO a question from the
court Hawley said he expected to
prove everything he stated and that
in his opening statement he would
keep far within the scope of the ev-
idence."
Hawley said that the Inner circle"
of the Federation always aimed at
controlling not only the organization
of the Federation but the govern
meat of the different states where the
organization existed
Attorney Darrow objected on the

THE FRUIT CROP
A GENERAL FAILURE

A GENERAL FAILURE.
J. A Graham, secretary of the Ros-
well Commercial Club, has handed to
the Record pamphlet regarding the
fruit crop over the entire country.
The consensus of the opinions of nun
dreds of fnrmers interviewed all over
the United States. is that there will
be very little fruit. The crop will not
be sufficient to supply home consump
ton, and none for export. In many
localities, the crop was not only en-
tirely destroyed, but many of the
fruit trees themselves were killed
or injured by the extreme weather.
