Task of Selecting Jury Continues at
Boise

Boise, Ida. May lathe task of
selecting a jury has been resumed in
the case of William d. Haywood, Sec
retary and treasurer Of the Western
Federation of Miners. charged with
completely In the assassination of for
mer Governor Steunenberg, and may
be completed within the next four or
five days, according to the judgment
Of opposing counsel
There Is growing impatience among
those who came here to attend the
trial to hear the opening address of
the prosecution. which probably will
be delivered by James II. Hawley,
leading counsel for the prosecution.
Just how far the states attorneys will
go In outlining the case they hope to
prove against Haywood Is problemat-
ical. They may choose to state their
case in a most general way, giving
no actual hint of the testimony they
claim to have, or, on the other hand,
the opening address may be a propo-
sition as broad as the attorneys ex-
pect to prove under the most favor
able rulings of the court.

FEW NEGATIVE VOTES.
German Reichstag Passes Second
Reading of Modus vivendI.


Berlin, May 1.-THE reichstag,
with only few negative votes, passed
the second reading of the commercial
modus vivendi between Germany and
the United States. Only some Conser-
vatives and anti-Semites, representing
agrarian constituencies, voted against
the measure. They took the ground
that the arrangement meant no ad-
vantage to Germany In an agricultural
way.
Herr Kaempf. second vice president
Of the reichstag, In reporting the work
of the committee, said that proposal
had been made to set limit on the
time in which the modus vivendi must
be denounced. Another proposal was
that the reichstag reserve the right of
determining the date of the denuncia-
ton, while other members of the com.
mittee demanded that the government
denounce the agreement June i, 1910,
at the latest. The government had
promised to supply the reichstag with
information from time to time as to
how the arrangement was working.
Thereupon the committee adopted the
measure without eXacting specific
pledges.
Count Won Kanitz, one of the lead
ers of the Conservative party, COM
planned that Germany's yielding atti-
tude strengthened the United States
in her reckless tariff policy"

EIGHT. HOUR LAW UPHELD
But Court Declares DredgerS
Are Not Laborers.

Washington. May IA. - Justice
Holmes of the supreme coqSt of the
United States during the day an
nouncod the decision of the court in a
number Of cases involving the con-
struction of the eight-hour law OF
1892, by which the employment OF la
borers and mechanics on public works
Ia limited to eight hours per day. The
defendants were all prosecuted Grim
inally and were all found guilty and
fined by the trial court, The suits
were instituted especially for the pur'
pose of testing the applicability OF the
law to laborers and mechanics en-
ployed on dredges In river and harbor
improvements, but other points also
were necessarily involved The court
held the law to be constitutional, but
held that it does not apply to laborers
and mechanics on dredges and that
men so employed cannot be held to be
employed upon public wrks.
There were seven of the cases and
all came to the supreme court on Writs
Of error from the United States dis
trict court for the district OF Massa-
chusetts Justice Holmes opinion
was based on the cases of William Il
Ellis and the Eastern Dredging com
pany vs. the United States and all the
other six cases were decided along the
same lines. Justice Moody delivered
a dissenting opinion. The decision
will have immediate bearing upon the
letting OF contracts for the Ss7.000,0O0
worth Of river and harhor work au.
thorized by the last session OF con
gress. Most Of the contracts under
that law were held up by the war de.
partment pending the settlement OF
the cases.
Justice Holmes opinion that men
employed on dredges in rive. and har-
Dor improvements are not laborers or
mechanics was based on the ground
that In effect such men are seamen,
to whom the law is not applicable.

OF the dead twenty were residents OF
Reading, nine of the others being res
idents of Buffalo, Cleveland and other
Eastern towns and three were Pull.
man employees. OF the twenty or
more injured many are terribly hurt
and will probably die.
The wreck was caused by defec-
tive switch and the train was running
at the rate of fifty miles an hour at
the time The coaches were smashed
to pieces by the impact. There was
no warning of the impending calamity.
The special plunged upon the defec-
tive switch and in an instant the big
locomotive, baggage car, diner and
Pullman coupled with 1t were hurled
together In huge heap OF wreckage.
The engine shot forward on the broken
track, tearing up the T.ils and ties
and twisting the huge iron spans into
fishhooks. The baggage car half bur-
led itself In the sand on the right side
of the locomotive. II was smashed
almost to kindling wood.
The dining car. In which were thir-
ty-two persons eating their nooday
meal, leaped into the air and was
thrown directly on top Of the demol-
ished locomotive Nearly every per-
son In this coach was instantly killed.
Scores were scalded by steam escap-
ing from disconnected pipes In the
kitchen of the diner.
The terror and turmoil OF the scene
was indescribable. Many Of those
who escaped instant death by the first
impact were crushed by the rear
coaches hurled upon the wreckage.
Others, pinioned in the debris, were
roasted alive.
The wreckage caught fire from the
Goals of the engine, but was extin-
guished In few minutes by the pas
sengers who escaped injury.

The following story is told IN Paris
Of a village priest and mayor: In
village in the department Of the Ain
the cure was his own church warden.
For want Of money the church was
abandoned, and for many days the vii
layers heard no Angelus when work
ing IN thA fields at daybreak, at noon,
and IN the evening. The mayor, a re-
tired gendarme. an ardena radical,
missed the cure and the chimes as
much as any other villager, and when
the cure had been gone a week he be-
gan to ring the bells. One night re-
Gently the village was reused by the
notes Of the Angelus. It was no call
to mass, still less FIRE alarm; 1t
was a mistake Of the mayor. The
moon. breaking through the clouds
Just before going down, had brought
him from his bed thinking Il was sun
rise. And now he is awaiting a letter
from the prefect reproaching him, and
perhaps revoking him for having
rung the church bells before sunrise.

Actor Not so Gallant as the Fair Ones

A weIl-known American actor, who
is old enough not to consider himself
a matinee idol by any means, was
somewhat surprised and pleased in q
st. Louis hotel short time ago, when
a pretty girl stopped him in the corri-
dor and presented him with rose,
without saying word He was more
surprised and less pleased to receive
a note the following day reminding
him Of the incident, and asking him to
send the giyer Of the flower two seats
at the theater in which he was play
ing "as memento Of the occasion"

piled. waxing sarcastic as he realized

"That seems a tremendous big
bunch of mail to be delivered at a
church." remarked an early caller to
the sexton.

guaranty of their safety. The
