Court Grows Weary.

Boise, Oct. Federal Judge Whit.
son., who is presiding at the trial Of
United States Senator W. E. Borah,
notified the prosecution yesterday that
the case had reached the point where
some testimony connecting the defendant
on trial with the alleged Idaho land
fraud conspiracy must be presented.
"Great latitude has been allowed
you," declared the court, "in the pres
entation of testimony here on the prom
ise that the defendant would be con-
nected with the alleged conspiracy.
But there is time when the court has
to control the order of proof. Begin
ming tomorrow morning, you will con-
fine your testimony to the defendant on
trial.
The attorneys for the government,
acting on this suggestion, said they
would offer in evidence today the rec
ords of the county clerks Office showing
that scores of timber deeds had been
admitted to record at the request of
Senator Borah.
Judge Whitson's notification to the
prosecution came at the conclusion of
the testimony of the governments two
most important witnesses. 1t gave an
official intimation of the status of the
case against Senator Borah, which be-
came more significant when Prosecutor
Rush stated tonight that the govern
ment's case undoubtedly would be con-
cluded TODAY

ASSASSIN NOT CAUGHT.
Officers Confident Slayer of Brown Is
Still In Baker.


Baker City, Oct. 4.-Out Of the tam
gle of theory about the cause of the
Brown dynamite murder last Monday
night has come the belief that the vic
tim met death at the hands Of members
of the Western Federation of Miners
for apparent infidelity to the Fedora
tion. officers and detectives working
on the trail OF the murderer say they
have evidence that Brown was paid
Federation money to testify in behalf
OF Adams and do other work for the
miners. His relations with the foes
o. the Federation are supposed to have
aroused suspicion and marked him for
slaughter.
So much for the murder motive. AS
for capturing the murderer, not much
progress seems to have been made. The
assassin left as clew only his smell in
the earth where he lay to put the dyna
mite wire, and the smell is growing
fainter, so that it will probably not
further lead the bloodhounds.
But because the dogs picked up the
fresh scent yesterday and because the
county Jail was visited in the early
dark Thursday morning by two men
seeking to bribe the lone prisoner to
poison the dogs or cut their throats,
the assassin is thought to be near by.

STENOGRAPHER MUST TELL.
Information About Crime is Not Con-
fidentiaj, Says Judge.

San Francisco, Oct. 2.-That infor-
nation impaired by an employer to a
stenographer is not confidential under
the provisions of the political code
when it relates to the proposed COM
mission of fraud or crime was decided
yesterday by Judge Lawlor, in overr ul
ing an objection interposed by the TREY
L. Ford defense to the questioning of
Miss Celia McDermott, Fords steno-
grapher. The court having ruled, the
examination of Miss McDermott was
resumed, but it brought out nothing of
value to either side, Miss McDermott
declared that she "tended to her own
business and knew nothing else."
The prosecution called George Fran
cis, chief clerk in the law department
of the United Railroads, and assistant
to Ford. He was asked by Mr.. Heney
whether he had not in May of 1905
seen on top of Ford's rolltop desk two
long narrow packages of bank notes.
He denied it. He said the name Of
ADraham Ruef was not on the payroll
of the company's law department, nor
were there on the payroll any "John
Does'' or Orchard Roes."
The prosecution called for the books
of the United Railroads, and the de-
tense made a vigorous and prolonged
effort to keep them out of court, on the
score that they were unwilling to have
them subjected to the inspection of
Rudolph Spreckles, who was character
lied by Rogers as the company's 6nan-
cial and personal enemy. Judge Law
lor ruled that the books be produced
and assured the defense that the prose-
cution would conclude its case this af-
ternoon, with the exception Of the tes-
timony of Abe Ruef, who will be called
tomorrow morning.
When court reassembled at O'Clock
a further adjournment was taken until
this morning.

the public buildings and business hous-
es along the line of march, and from
hundreds of private residences.
The mausoleum is set upon hill in
the picturesque West Lawn cemetery,
and it was here that the exercises of the
day took place. Great attention had
been paid to the care and comfort of the
scores of distinguished persons who had
been invited to witness the exercises
and to listen to the address of President

The unveiling ceremonies were wit
messed by 5000 persons from the stand
and ], 900 more were seated in the pub
lie stands. 1t is estimated that 1O0,-
900 people from surrounding towns
were also present. Two thousand reg
ular army soldiers and 1000 Ohio mill
tiamen protected President Roosevelt
and other notables and kept the crowd
from breaking through the ropes.
The tomb, built at cost of over
$500, 900, is the donation of over L.
900, 900 Americans to the memory of

NOT TO EXCEED so PER CENT.
Leeway Given Domestic Over Foreign
Bidders for Fleets Coal.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Befors leaving
Washington, the president instructed
Admiral Cowles, chief of the bureau of
equipment, who has been charged with

Admiral Evnas' Pacific feet, to inform
the American bidders for supplying
coal that the president would be will

needs for the cruise, it will be neces-
cary to award contracts for the remain
ing rs per cent to the owners of for
eign bottoms.

Springfield, H., Oct. 4.-The new
primary law passed at the special ses-
sion of the legislature in 1906 was de-
clared unconstitutional today by the
Supreme court, which reversed the
lower courts decision and remands the
case. The court left nothing of the act
upon which new law can be construct
ed. The court holds that the law vio-
lates the constitution because it speci-
fies more than the title. 1t says the
title does not confine the operation OF
the act to the actions of political par
ties.
