That Is the First Phase Of tho
Trial of Haywood at
Boise, Ida.
FIRST PANEL is EXHAUSTED
President Roosevelt's Undesirable Cit
liens a Feature of the Ex-
animation.
Most of the Questioned Were Repub-
Iicans. but Said the Words
Had No Influence with
49, Them.

Boise, Ida, May 10.-William II.
Haywood, first of the alleged partici-
pants in the avenging conspiracy by
which it is averred the assassination
Of Ex-Governor Steunenberg was
plotted and executed. has been placed
upon trial for his life. Counsel fO'
state and prisoner entered at once in
a business-like way upon the examina-
steadily at the task for five hours.
No juror was finally accepted. but sub,
stantial progress was made and the in
dicatiOns at the close of the session
were that a jury could be obtained
by the end of next week. The open
ing day of the trial went through to
its conclusion in quiet harmony I'M
marked by unusual incident.
Jury Panel Is Exhausted.
It's striking feature was the entire
absence of crowds or demonstration in
any form. At no time, morning or aft
eTnOOn, was the court room more than
half filed, and the streets forming the
court house square contained not a
single loiterer. The case was halted
shortly before p. IN. by the eXhauS-
ton of the jury panel. and adjourn
ment was taken until Monday morn
ing Meantime the sheriff will sum-
mon a special venire of 100 men. The
eleven men under examination, but not
yet finally accepted or rejected. were
locked up and will be closely guarded.
Haywood Seems Indifferent.
Haywood was brought to the court
room ut 10 Il. IN. sharp. He found his
family in a line of chairs to the right
of his seat, and in front were all o.
his counsel. He paid more attention
to his Youngest daughter than to any
one else, and throughout the day tool;
practically no part in the selection OF
jurors. Many men in similar jeopardy,
as a rule. make close study of their
prospective jurors, and frequently eX-
press their personal preference, but
Haywood seems content TO leave the
matter entirely in the hands of his
lawyers. Haywood gave no sign OF
any feeling or emotion. but sat quietly
throughout the day. Mrs. Haywood
and the elder daughter stood the or
deal apparently well, but the younger
child cried after the examination o..
taleSmen began. Mrs. Haywood and
her children did not attend the aft
ernOon session.

NO AGREEMENT TO
REGULATE PRICES
Local Iron Man Denies Report That
Effort Is On Foot to Hold
at $3.50.

The Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin of New York has a
story in a recent issue to the effect that
there is an agreement among the south
ern iron producers to control the price of
iron.
1t was contradicted yesterday by Col.
j. c. Maben, president of the Sloss- Shelf
field Steel and Iron company, who sent
a telegram to the New York paper in
regard to the report.
The article was very facetious and told
of the supposed agreement of 1906, which
it called a fiat failure. 1t laughed at
the possibilities of the south's forming
the combination, ridiculing the idea and
predicting defeat.
The telegram sent by Colonel Maben
was:
journal of Commerce and Commercial
Bulletin, New York:
your issue OF 18th states that south
ern iron producers have again reached
agreement to hold for $3.50, Birming-
ham. No. 9 So far as this is concerned
we are in no agreement nor have we
considered one to regulate price of iron.
The report so far as this company is con-
cerned is absolutely without foundation.

ATTORNEY SMITH
OFF TO CAPITA AL
Goes to Washington In Interest of His
Candidacy for Federal
Judgeshlp.

City Attorney Edward ID. Smith left
Montgomery yesterday for Washington
to work in the interest Of his candidacy
for the federal judgeshp that will be
created for the northern district of Ala
bama under the Clayton bill.
The fact that Mr. Smith was en- route to
Washington was contained in commune
cation to Mayor Ward. which was writ
ten for the purpose of informing the
Mayor of certain legislative matters af-
fecting the city. AS has been published,
lation before the house. in which Birming
ham Is vitality interested.
Mr.. Smith received the endorsement of
the Birmingham bar. as did Mr.. Pleas
ants republican, for the new federal
judgeship. Since that time has has not
slept on his arms, but on the contrary
has pulled every string that might ad-
vance his interest. The idea has gone
abroad that the republicans have no fears
but what Mr.. Peasants will receive the
appointment. and are congratulating
themselves on what they consider a grave
mistake on the part of the democrats.
II IS reported that when democratic bar
endorsed republican, it assured that re-
publlcan's appointment at the hands of a
republican President.
on the contrary, the democrats are
equally as confident and recall that Pres
ident Roosevelt oftens considers the per-
sonal quality. They point to the fact that
President Roosevelt appointed to the po-
sition of judge a man who had served
his state as democratic governor.
Mr.. Smith in his communication to the
Mayor expressed confidence

His Impressions

Local Shopping District Is Better Dis
Local Shopping District Is Better Dis
tributed and Window Displays Are
Far Superior to Those
Seen In Memphis.

81 have been to Birmingham several
times in the past and | say without hesi-
tation that Birmingham is in many ways
better than Memphis, which is my home
city, said Frank L.. Monteverde, sheriff
of Shelby county, Tennessee, and a former
member of the Tennessee legislature.
Birmingham has wider streets and bet
ter streets than Memphis. More of your
streets here are paved and they are kept
in first-class condition. What / like is
the wide, well paved streets OF Birming-
ham.
Another thing / notice here. You
have more large retail stores which have
frst-class window decorations. Their
window displays are better than those
in Memphis, and there are more windows
and more stores.
Birmingham has more retail streets
than Memphis. We have only one retail
street, or shopping street as it is called,
while Birmingham has several which are
of equal Importance, which is a distinct
advantage.
Il do not notice much difference in
the size of the crowds on the streets of
Birmingham and the streets of Memphis.
IL seems TO lie IndL there are as fldIly
people in Birmingham as there are in
Memphis, judging from the number of
people | see on the streets. We have
one corner where all the street cars pass
which seems to be more crowded than
the Birmingham streets, but L suppose
that your corner-the Woodward corner
is about the same as our corner in Men,

three times the size of Birmingham We
claim to have $4,000 people, and the last
census gave us 100000 while ] understand
that Birmingham was rated at only about,

but one trouble in Memphis is that
we have a very large negro population,
almost one-half of the people in Memphis
being negroes. We have great deal of
trouble with them. That is a disadvan-
tage that Memphis has to suffer. l have

Ward Explains "Taxation"
Under Pending SINGER Bill

As whole Mayor Ward favors the
Smyer BILL that which seeks to make
Greater Birmingham. There are eer-
tain sections of that document, however,
to which he has objections.
The Mayor was asked for an interview
on the matter, because of the interview
with Alderman Walter Moore, which was
printed in The Age-Herald of yesterday
morning, in which the alderman expressed
decided opposition to the bill. The Mayor
states that Alderman Moore does not fully
understand the bill. According to the
Mayors construction no section brought
under the dominion of the Birmingham
City Council, without being subject to
taxation, can ask for Improvement at
the expense of the city government. The
Mayor says:

whole. but think few changes should

south, at o'clock. all of the congrega-
lions of the Episcopal church will unite
in a spirited service. The visionary
thank Offering movement will be pre-
scented by the national secretary, the
Rev. Hiram Hulse of New York.
This movement was begun in Boston
three years ago, when it was determined
that the laymen of the Episcopal church
would observe at Richmond in 1907, the
Booth anniversary of the planting of the
Church of England in.America, at James
town.
The Offering is an Offering of thanks
giving. and the movement now known
by the initials m. r. o." is wide in its
plans and purposes. The laymen of the
church are recognizing that this move
ment has in it a larger cooperation than
they have known before, and that it
will result in a definite forward step in
aggressive work in the church at large,
and also in local work.

for men, though not exclusively So All
are invited. The Rev. Mr.. Hulse will be
accompanied by the Rev. Robert Patton,
secretary for fourth missionary depart
ment Both of them are fine speakers
Mr.. Hulse having just returned from
California, where his vigorous, practical
way OF presenting his work has greatly
stimulated the cause. The church through
out the country is alive to the M. 7. o.
cause, and the south is now TO know
the work from it's chosen starry

released by his parish for two years that
he may answer the call of the church

try.

of the Church of the Advent, recently
from Richmond, where the next general
convention will be held, is to be one of
the speakers.

be made in it. believe that much of the
opposition comes from those who have
not considered the bill carefully.
THE city cannot be called upon to pro-
vide benefits on non-taXing property, such
as fire MIGRANTS, police, lights, etc. On
the other hand the city can force sanitary
sewers and sidewalks through all this
territory, both taxing and non-taxing at
the expense of the property owners.
ut is believed that this development
would soon put the property on paying
basis and fit for the taxing district. Fur
thermore it is optional with the Mayor
and aldermen as to how many, or what
sections of the bill it will or will not
adopt, and the council will at all times
have the last say. Therefore, if future
conditions or developments prove that
any portions of the bill are harmful or not
practicable they need not be put into
operation."
