BRINGS
GOLD


BY Associated Press.
| NEW YORK, Nov. s.-With $1OOOO,OOO in
| gold in her strong box and new trans
atlantic record written in her log, the
Cunard turbiner Lusitania passed Sandy
Hook lightship at lao o'clock this morn
ing
In one grand performance the great
vessel broke her own worlds record and
brought to the relief of the money mar
ket her $40, 900 in gold in unprecedented
time.
The westbound trip was made approxi-
mately in days 10 hours and 10 minutes.
The exact time can only be known from
the official recording. Her hourly average
was little better than twenty-four knots
and she has probably beaten the record
about forty minutes.
The former western record of the tur-
biner. completed October IL last, was 4
days 10 hours and 50 minutes. The av-
erage on that trip was "a knots an hour
for the distance of 27S1 miles. The best
days run was SIT knots.
The Lusitania fought out the last lap
in her race in the face of southwest
| gale. She had been favored with ideal
weather until early yesterday when she
ran into an off-coast storm that consid-
erably bothered her.
When she swept by the lightshlp this
morning she cut her way through tum-
| bling sea-.
| The turbiner came to anchor outside
the bar, where she waited daylight to
come through the Ambrose channel,
which Is not lighted at night. She is
expected to dock about 10 o'clock this
morning. With a big passenger list and
unprecedented gold imports she sailed
| from. Hull down to the westward of
| Daunts rock and headed for Sandy Hook
| the Lustania steamed at top speed. Her
daily runs were 6O6, GIG, 61S and 610 knots
up to noon yesterday. The best day $
run beat her previous run for twenty
| four hours by one knot. This run of 6lS
knots was made in the twenty-four hours
preceding Wednesday noon. Fair weather
| for the better part of the trip and her
machinery shaken down and running
smoothly, both contributed.
| From the passengers standpoint the
trip was a wonderful one. The Lusitania
passed Nantucket at o'clock last night.
AT 11:3O she was sighted about thirteen
miles southeast of Fire island. This is
| several miles farther out than vessels
are usually made out from Fire island
and the report gave rise to the belief
that she would make Sandy Hook before
| She did

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 7.-United
States Senator Hepburn of Idaho was
brought into the trial of Steve Adams
today for the alleged murder of Fred
Tyler ten years ago in the marble
creek district of Shoshone county,
Archie Phillips, who testified Tor the
state at the first trial of Adams, dis
appeared recently from his home in
Spokane, but left letter to Henry z.
knight, attorney for the state, assert
ing that his life was in danger; that ne
has received threatening letters several
times "a week ago last Sunday l
found a sack with ten pounds of dyna-
mite, a box of caps and a roll of fuse
hidden behind my house." he says.
Phillips, in this letter, expresses dis
gust at the treatment he has received
from the state and government, says MS
wife is a nervous wreck from terror,
and he severely censures Senator Hey
burn for his failure to secure his ap-
pointment as an estimator on the Occur
d'Alene Indian reservation. Philips
.encIos es a letter from Senator Heyburn
to Chairman Shoemaker of the Koote-
mai county Republican. committee, In
which the senator says:
Il note what you say with rererence
to Archie Phillips. Inere is JuuS
ment in the court here that he jumped
the claim over which the killing OF
Boule took place on the Marble creek
1t would not do to appoint him, as II
would cause a row. I have instructed
that his application be withdrawn.
The letter was read by Mr.. Knight
on the witness stand and followed the
fling of an affidavit that the state
wished to put into the present record
the testimony of Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips
given at former trial at Wallace. The
defense objected. The court took the
matter under advisement. The rate OF
the case may hang on this point.
1t is expected that Adams confession
will be put up some time this week.
George H. Root, clerk in Wallace
store, gave sensational testimony this
afternoon. He told of meeting he
had with Steve Adams under the name
of Dickson near Jack Simpkins' cabin
in the Marble creek country in July,
1894. Root said he was with fishing
party and happened onto meeting OF
settlers where Simpkins introduced him
to Adams and vouched for him as being
"all right" Root looked straight al
Adams while he was testifying, and
Adams hung his head.
Witness said the talk of the men was
as to how to rid themselves of the
jumpers.

Corinto, Elisardo Maceo, an American
citizen, the son of the famous Cuban

to be an American citizen. He was
found after search by an armed force

volver pressed to his temple.
