INCIPIENT LAWYERS ROW OVER THE HAYWOOD JURY State Accused of Improper

 Talesmen. JUDGE CALLS A HALT Day Ends With One of Special Venire Partly
 Qualified.
JUDGE CALLS A HALT

Boise, Idaho, May 23.1The net result oif this, the tenth day of the Haywood trial. were the partial wedding out of the talesmen of the second special ve- hire entitled to statutory exemption, and the partial qualification of one jur- or The examination of the venire has not proceeded very far but it shows that the recreation of interest in the Steunenberg murder is disqualifying rany citizens for jury service in the case, and indicates that the publicity given to examination of talesmen has widely increased popular knowledge as to the means of artistically avoiding Jury service.
 The sixty men of the second special venire presented themselves at 2 o'clock this afternoon and when it was an- nounced that the court would hear ex- crses which clearly came within the statute and when he made good his announcement the band of petitioners melted very quickly. Five petitions were fatly denied. nine were tempora- rily denied; six were granted. The other three did not bother to present their excuses.
 Then began the attempt to fill seat No. g, made vacant by the release of Juror Orrin Cole, on account of illness. The first five talesmen had opinions that would require evidence to change --one of them said his opinion would last regardless of the evidence-and they all went down on challenge from the state.
 Early in the examination Clarence parrow. for the defense, asserted that James H. Hawley, for the state, was seeking to lead talesmen to qualifca- ton by improper questioning. Judge Wood overruled his objection but Dar- row continued to address the court Mir. Hawley bristled, and for few mo- ments there was a promis of a scrim- mage. But the court checked the in- cipient row. Next the clerk drew the names of four talesmen whose petitions for excuse had just been temporarily denied in order to give them time to get certificates from physicians as to the illness of themselves or their wives It was agreed that they shauld all be passed until thee finally decides on their applications.
 The tenth and last talesman was Henry Curtis, a farmer, and he gave every indication of qualifying. Senator Borah led him over a long examina- ton that showed him to be free from Op1nlOn or DlaS, ana open minded Just as the state passed him for cause, and he went to the hands of the defense. the trial was adjourned until to-mor- row.
 What amounts to roughly one-third of the new venire was exhausted this afternoon, and some of the men who watched the trial believe that this ven- ire will not fill the one certain, and nine or ten prospective vacancies in the jury. After talesman has been quail flied for MT. Coles place, the state will use it's seventh peremptory challenge, which will be the thirteenth challenege out of the twenty allotted.
 Mrs. Haywood and her daughters sat beside the prisoner all the afternoon.

LESSEN COST TO STATE.
Senator McGovern Favors More Town
 Support of Insane.

Hartford, May 29.-Senator McGovern in the senate to-day in asking for the passage of a bill concerning the support of insane persons said that this bill would probably prevent the large out lay for the insane hospitals at Nor wich and Middletown as proposed by two other bills. Both institutions want appropriations for new buildings, owing to inadequate aecommodations. The Middletown hospital wants $5O0,OOO and the Norwich hospital s65O,0O0.
 The bill which was passed provides that towns shall contribute $S instead of g a week for the care of patients, and the representative of the insane person or their estate shall pay $S. The increased amount, said Senator McGov-

Judiciary Committee HopelessIy Split
 Over Telephone Bills.

Hartford, May 23.--It is learned from a member of the judiciary committee that there is very little hope that that body will agree upon any report on the various telephone matters before it this session. The committee is hopelessly divided in opinion as to the advisability of permitting new competitors to enter the state field which is now held exclu- sively by the Southern New England Telephone company.
 The committee instead will report on recommendation that a commission of three or more be appointed to inves- tigate the whole question and report it's findings to the next general assem- ply

HIS HEART IN THE WORK.
u. l.. Bull Taking Interest i'm City
Sanitary Conditions.

b. L. Bull. who was selected by May
or Fechter to be sanitary inspector
for the coming year, is planning an
active and systematic campaign
against everything that is unsanitary
in the city. He has always made a
clean and beautiful city his hobby,
and while serving on the council up
to year ago was most active in
seeing that the city was kept in a
healthy condition.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Bull was the father of the present or
dinance governing sanitary condi-
tions here. He drafted the ordinance
and worked hard to get it passed. 1t
is said that it covers the ground as
well as any legislation that could be
devised at this time, and it is Mr..
Bulls determination to see that it's
provisions are carried out to the
letter He took as his model for the
present law the provisions governing
a city on the Sound which had the
best system he could hear of, and
is still satisfied it will work satisfac-
torily here.
Mr.. Bull states that he will intro
duce system into the department. and
will prosecute the work with utmost
vigor. He promises the most graft
fving conditions in this department
that have ever prevailed here. and
his friends are confident of his abil-
ity to make the promise good.

CAR SHORTAGE REMEDY.

The testimony of James J. Hill, at
The Minneapolis meeting of the inter-
state commerce commission, was
plain uneQuiyocal admission of the
utter inability of the railroads now
in operation to handle the vast
amount of traffic confronting them.
Mr.. Hill stated that single track
roads should have double tracks. dou-
Die track roads should have four
tracks, and that thousands of miles
of new tracks are needed, mostly in
territory west of Chicago. AS Mr.
Hill tersely put the case You can
not bore an inch hole with a half
inch augur." There was much that
was interesting and considerable that
was far from comforting in the re-
marks of Mr.. Hill. The inability to
get labor and material in Dakota,
as mentioned in his testimony, is
just as evident in Oregon as in Da-
kota, and for that reason our peo-
pie have a special interest in these
unfortunate conditions which con-
front the whole nation.
The labor problem has always
been a difficult one, in times of pros
perity, but with the enormous immi-
gnat ion now coming into the coun-
try there undoubtedly will be an i'm.
provement 10 the near future. We
place no Instructions in the way OF

try, and for this reason our entire
economic system is gamer. Blu;

Practically every railroad in the
west is hampered by reason of car
shortage, no small portion of the
blame for which can be traced to
inadequate trackage, not only on
the main line but at terminals. A
large share of the blame in turn
must be passed on to the steel and
iron trusts which, unable to fill or
ders, take advantage of the situation
by exacting exorbitant rates. This
feature of the car shortage presents
an opportunity for reform long over
due. A temporary suspension (if it
is impossible to make it permanently
of the duty on steel rails would ena-
bic our railroad builders to draw on
the large low-priced stock of Ger

effect on all lines of trade. 1t is ruin
ing many small manufacturers in
the west, and is demoralizing bust
ness at a time when the other con-
ditions were never more favorable.
Removal of the duty on iron ana
steel is not all that is needed to lift
this embargo. but it would prove
highly beneficial. The only ones
who would suffer in the slightest de-
gree by the removal of the duty
would be the steel trust, and as it is
said to have made thousand mil

holders, at least temporary relaXa-

ANKENY OPPOSES DIRECT PRI-
MARY.

Some time ago the Bulletin pub
l1sned a news story to the effect that
Senator Ankeny had been misrepre-
sented by the Seattle Post-Intelli.
gencer. when it gave out the state
ment that the State Direct Primary
league had information that he
had asked members of the legisla-
ture to oppose the passage of the bill
drawn up by the league. The Bull

Senator Ankeny and said he was

facts and in accordance with his ex-
