The Fairbanks Times says the suc- cess of the Hearst papers is due to the fact that they get the news first and publish it first. The only flaw in that statement is that it does not contain a syllable of truth. The Hearst papers do not get the real news first and publish it first. On the contrary they have been d.,a,trously scooped over and over ag@,n on big news. The Hearst success Is due to the fact that his disrepulabIc yellow rags pander to the rubblc, To the popular appetite for sensation and scandal to ignorance and vice. The number of Americans who like to be humbugged k so large that it furnishes an immense clirntage for such moun,ebank publications as the Hearst papD.,, but those sheets are inferior in liter .ry ability, in makeup and in news quality to a majority of metropolitan newspapers. and they wIuIly pcddle fa',chood whenever it will sell few coptc, or in the belief of it's owner boos, his prepos,erous political aspirations.

HANG MAN TO
 GET CONFESSION
YigiIanteS String Up J. E. Kenney to Make Him Admit Theft
 of Cone Poke.

To make him confess the theft of Cones $3OOO poke of gold dust a party of about fifteen miners and others threatened to hang J. E. Kenney, proprietor of the Lake creek roadhouse where the poke was left, and on his protestation of innocence put a rope around his neck and pulled him up to a tree. When he wTS taken down he still affirmed that he knew nothing of the poke,
 Kenney was then placed on a boat and sent to SuSitna station where he was put in charge of J. N. Baker, who had nothing to do with the Lake creek proceedings, and sent out on boat with a warning not to return. Baker left him at Sunrise. Kenney's road house was placed in charge of George Pmches.
 No trace of Cones poke has been found Several men who have come out express the belief that Kenney is entirely innocent, while suspicion rests 10 some extent upon other men who at least had opportunity to take the gold, if they did not
 Some of the men who had hand in the vigilance proceedings are in Seward now but show a reluctance about talking of the affair which indi- that they are not proud of it and are perhaps a little nervous about the con sequences. There i, absolutely no evil dcnce against Kenney except that the poke was left in his house. Other men had access to the room soon afterward.
 Kenney was formerly employed by the Alaska Central and worked for while on the ple-driycr.

Boise, Id, Sept. 21.-Unised States Senator William E. Borai, leader in the prosecution of William D. Hay wood and other undesirable citizens" of the Western Federation os Miners
 will face an Idaho jury Monday to de- fend himself of the charge Of conspir- ing to defraud the national govern ment by securing illegal entry of tim Der lands. The trial will attract na- tional attention, as Senator Borah is

| awful conspiracy in September. 1901 and at various other times t0 secure , by fraudulent entry, timber lands ia Boise county, Idaho.
 II is alleged that William Sweet. one Of the men indicted. has turned states evidence on promises of im munity and that it is on his testimony that the government attorneys largely rely to secure conviction. Friends of the other indicted men declare that the confession Of Sweet is false and was secured through threats. In this respects the case against Borah close ly resembles the one he recently pros ecuted against Haywood, and in which he attempted to secure a conviction en the strength of the confession of an llegedaccomplice.
 Ex-Attorney General Frank Martin, who was a member of the Steuenberg administration and was indicted with Borah, has filed plea of abatement, accompanied by an affidvit in which he makes sensational charges against District Attorney Ruick He alleges that members of the grand jury which returned the indictment were forced to do so by the district attorney, and that they did not know that Borah and Martin were included in the charges
 Martin declares that members of the grand jury were addressed by Rulck while they were considering the case, and that Ruick in his speech asserted that President Roosevelt had commanded him to see that the indict ments were found.
 Intense interest in the trail is mani fested by the people of Boise and Idaho, and the case will undoubtedly attract more local attention than the famous Haywood trial. to which it IS, in effect, sequel. Senator Be- rah is immensely popular and public sentiment is largely in his favor. His failure to secure the conviction of Haywood, after the state had spent large sums of money to attain that end. has slightly dimmed his fame, however and if the coming trial should result in Borahs conviction the sen- ator's political career will probably come to an abrupt end.

n demanding an immediate trial

in demanding an immediate trial.
 It is likely that the trial of George Pettibone, who was indicted with Hay Wod and Mover for the murder of ex- Governor Steuenberg, will have to be postponed as result of the Borah trial. Ill that case, attorneys for the Western Federation of Miners will probably demand his release on bail If Borah should be convicted it is gen orally believed that the cases against Pettibone and Mover would be drop ped. Borah has been the mainstay of the state in the prosecution of the federation leaders, and if he should be convicted of a crime it would serve to thoroughly dscredt the state in the Steuenberg case
 The case for the government will be conducted by Attorneys B. M. c. Burch of Denver and s. H. Rush of Omaha. The latter is a special as- sistant attorney general, representing the department of justice He has re- lieved District Attorney Ruick in these cases, owing to the allegation of Bo- rah that Ruick's personal enmity to- ward him was responsible for the finding of the indictment. Ruick will act in an advisory capacity only at the trial.
 The indictment against Senator Bo- rah and others was returned by the federal grand jury last April, and charges conspiracy to defraud the na- tional government in connection with securing valuable timber lands by the Barber Lumber company, for which Borah was attorney at the time of the transaction.
 In addition to Borah, the indictment
 of the grand jury includes Frank Martin, attorney general of Idaho un- der the Steuenberg administration; J. T. Barber and Sumner G. Moon, mil lionaire stockholders of the Barber Lumber company, residing in Wiscon- sin; J. I. Wells, P. H. Downs, John Kinkaid, L. M Pritthard, William Sweet, Albert M. Palmer and s. H.. Rand.
