Woodruff Assalled.

The Denver News certainly has
it in" for Mark G. Woodruff; one
reason being, no doubt, that
Woodruff exposed the Patterson
game at the Denver convention
called to discuss the Forest Ser
vice, and another probable motive
being to take up anything which
would tend to have political effect.
II the officers of the recent land
board have been guilty of fraud
they should, in all fairness, receive
what is coming to them, but the
facts will develop without the
blackmsil and cslumny resorted to
by the News.

ust l3, takes (evidently through

Get Together.

In one respect the great trusts
and combines refuse to trest their
employees fairly: They refuse to
recognize their unions whenever
any dispute arises. They are
snubbed and given to understand
that there is nothing to arbitrste.

Western Union in Chicago issued
statement that there will be no
arbitration.
Il will receive no deputstions OF
the strikers" said Mr.. Cook, "snd
will hold no communication with
them excepting IN circular letter

will be brief and will read:
" Having left the employ OF the

Disqualification of Sheriff May Make It Necessary to Begin Over in
 'Friscc--Judge Decides It Today.

San Francisco. April 11--One of the most interesting questions from a ma terial as well as purely legal stand point to be evolved out of the Ruef trial was projected today by the pros- ecution and will be determined tomor- row by Judge Dunne
 It Is briefly stated. whether the act, of the court in disQualifying the sheriff from having the custody of Ruef had and has. the effect of disabling the sheriff from now summoning a fresh venire from the regular jury list of D. 400 names and thereby necesLitates the appointment of an eIisor to summon a special venire from the body of the county.
 The present panel of talesmen having been exhausted today with no juror yet finally chosen to try the case. new panel must be drawn or summoned be- fore the proceedings can go on.
 Three probationary jurors were &C., cepted during the day. increasing tn, number in the box to ten, all of whom are subject to peremptory challenges They are: Theodore Cohen, a dry goods merchant; John J. Duffy. a drayman, and Bartholomew Oregan. a retired butcher.

An Indian Execution.

A letter from India in q German paper gives thia account of the execu- ton near Bombay of Q man who had been found guilty of the murder of his brother-in-law The question as to whether the culprit should be execu- ted or sent to prison for life was, as Is the custom. submitted to the family of the murdered man for decision. All. including the wife of the murdered man, voted for death." When the place of execution was reached the condemned man knelr, and the ropes which were fastened to him were han. ded over to the executioner's assistants. The one who held the neck rope took few steps before the kneeling man and the other two stood at either side. Then the executioner, armed with a razor edged. heavy knife, advanced and as.:ed in a loud voice. Who author izes the executionT and the chief an, swered. The law, The question was asked and answered three times, while the armed man advanced, slowly swinging the mighty blade. As the last answer was heard an assistant executioner thrust a needle point into the kneeling mans back and he made an involuntary motion forward with his head The three ropes were pulled taut, leaving the neck extended to the utmost. At the same instant the kr 'a whirred through the air and the head of the murderer rolled in the sand"

Lord RusseII. Confession.

story is being told of pickpocket who, when accused of theft, was touched on hearing that the watch purloined belonged to his victims mother, and caused 1t to be restored. If we were all arrested when the ap- pearances are against us many would risk being charged with pocket picking. Lord Russell. of Killowen, certainly would not have escaped--did not In fact. As a young man he went to the- ater, where he was wedged in the crowded pit, to hear a cry raised, My watch Is goner The man who com plained declared that the thief was Russell or one of two men between whom he was standing. Russell sug- gested that they should all go to the box office to be searched. As he led the way 1t occurred to him that if the man behind him were guilty he would try to thrust the watch into his tRus- sell's) pocket; so he drew the tails Of his coat tightly about him. To his horror, he felt the watch was already there!
 Luckily. as they approached the box office a detective recognized the man behind Russell as an old theft. and took him into custody. The other two re- ceived apologies and were permitted to depart. But that watch burned in Russells pocket He could not let an innocent man suffer. He walked slowly back to the office and confessed that although he was not the thief he really had the watch. He put his hand into his pocket to produce the hateful thing. and drew out--a for gotten snuff box.

TAFT AROUSES IRE
ENcLIsKxEN IN HAVANA ARE NOT
 PLEASED.
They Say statement of Big secretar, VIII Not Have Coed Eaect on Business Interests If
 Cub0.

Havana. April Il-.Excepting among the English colony. where some disap- poiEsment is guardedly expressed re- garding Secretary Taft's statement is- sued last night. there Is every sign of general satisfaction with his remarks,
 The Engiishmen say the sscretarys stateemnts guarantees good busi- ness for only a little over a year, and that by the end of twelve months. it will be necessary to retrench owing to the uncertainty about the new govern ment. It is plainly evident that Eng fish interests anticipated a statements assuring a greater degree of perman- ent American control.
 Spanish commercial interests are pleased because they consider Secretary Tafts statements concerning tranquil fly tantamount to an assuranc of American control for several years.
 American commercial and banking In. terests arc moro optimistis than ths English. The Americans declare that Mir Tafts words mean at least one year of continuous business during which time political passion probably will die out. They believe the Cubans. recog- nizing the certainty of American inter- vention If they do not keep the peace. will make a strong endeavor to do 90. {
 One thing responsible for the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the English residents is the question whether or not Cuba shall be obliged to pRy for the damages done property during tho last revolution. As English interests sui fered more in this direction than those of any other foreigners. this matter Is considered by them to be grave.
 The departure of Secretary Taft per mitted the resumption today of routine government business which has been practically at a standstill since Mir Taft's arrival last Saturday.
