BOISE. Idaho. July 20-It was late this
evening when the first round Of oratori-
cal sparring in the Haywood case was
concluded, and Attorney James II. Haw-
ley finished the opening statement OF
the prosecutions statement punctuated
by the passing Of the lie between the
speaker and Attorney Clarence barrow,
Of counsel for the defense.
At the conclusion OF HawIey's speech
II was announced that Attorney Rich
ardson viii open for the defense on
Monday. continuing the better part of
Tuesday. He will be followed by Oar
row. for the defense, and the closing
speech for the State viii; probably be
made on Friday by Senator William z.
the jury. which IS expected to take the
case on Saturday.
The popular belief, and one said TO
be shared by attorneys for both the
State and the defense. is that a mistrial
viii result
Lie Was Passed.
The feature of today was the brush
between Hawley and barrow, the for
mer declaring that Darow, In Directing
to certain evidence, had deliberately
made what he knew to be q false state
ment- The trouble was precipitated by
Hawley's declaring that Steve Adams
had been brought to Boise so that the
defense might call him as a witness.
barrow objected to the statement. and
In the passage of words Hawley openly
accused barrow Of telling a deliberate
falsehood"
barrow was on his feet in an instant,
his eyes flashing with anger, but Judge
Wood checked a reply by saying he
would cover the entire matter in his in
structions.
Hawley Bolsters Orchard.
The gist of Hawley's argument was
the explaining of the intricacies of the
case from the States standpoint; the
giving of a good character to Harry Or
chard; the bolstering of Orchards story.
and the sweeping assertion that viz
tually every witness for the defense lied
on the stand.
What weight the argument viii have
with the jury is, Of course, a matter
OF speculation, but It was a tired-looking
lot of len who Joined in a common
sigh of relief when adjournment was
announced.

DEPARTMENT
ORDER ISSUED
Dictum Grows Out of
Holmes Cotton Leak
Case.

Women clerks OF the Agricultural
Department cannot hereafter act as
private secretaries for male chiefs Of
divisions or bureaus
This dictum, harsh as Il may seem,
stands as the law in that department,
immutable and stern.
Secretary Wilson has issued the order,
and he says he means business with It.
BY the terms of his order. no woman
clerk under him shall IN the future act
as a private secretary or a confidential
clerk to a male chief OF q division or
bureau in the department.
This order is the direct result Of the
Holmes cotton scandal case, in which
Mrs. Bertha BUrch, IT Will be remsm-
bered. figured 50 prominently. testifying
in this city two weeks ago in the trial
Of Holmes. on account Of her position
in the office of the chief statistician OF
the department. she became an expert
in crop figures. and now she is conduct
Ing a statistics bureau OF her own IN
New York city.
But hereafter no woman will have
such a chance as had Mrs. Burch in Mr..
Hyde's Office to learn things at the
expense Of the Government and then 20
out with them for an institution Of her
own
Whether the other departments OF the
Government will follow the lead OF Sec
rotary Wilson remains to be seen. But
that he viii stand firm in his attitude
on the subject is without question
When he decides that the good of the
service" calls for anything. he is
mighty apt TO provide the thing needed.
In this case, the thing needed seems
to him to be the absence OF women
private secretaries for male chiefs.

of Injured in Pere
Marquette. Collision
Will Die.

WASHBOURNE CROSSING. Near
Salem. Mich, July 20-Forty per-
sons were killed and sixty injured
in a railway wreck on the Pere
Marquette railroad here shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock this morning.
A special passenger train Of
eleven coaches left Ionia this morn
ing with 500 persons on board for
the annual excursion to Detroit. and
about half way between this place
and Plymouth it crashed into a
freight train going west.
The passenger train had been
given the right of way, but by some
blunder on the part of the crew of
the freight train it kept on instead
of lying over at Plymouth, which is
the dispatching headquarters for
this division of the Pere Marquette,
to let the passenger pass.
Emergency Brakes Applied.
The passenger train was just rounding
the curve at Washbourne Crossing when
it came in sight OF the freight train com
ing the other way. Both engineers ap-
parently saw their danger at the same
moment, shut or steam and applied the
emergency brakes.
With the passenger train travelling
at the rate OF forty-fve miles an hour
and the freight almost as fast, it was
impossible to do more than merely
lessen the speed in the brief interval
that elapsed from the time the trains
came in sight of each other until they
crashed together.
The shock was terrific. Both locono-
tives were smashed out Of all shape.
and the cars behind piled upon top Of
them until the passenger train had
only five coaches that were not reduced

TWO ARE KILLED
BY ELECTRICITY,
TESTING NEW WIRE

Death by electrocution was the
horrible fate of Harry Candes, phaT-
maciSt for the Flemmer Drug Com
pany, at Seventh street and Mary
land avenue northeast, and Walter
SouSa, inspector electrician for the
Potomac Electric Light Company,
who together were endeavoring to
regulate the electric lights over the
soda fountain in the Flemmer drug
store last night at J o'clock.
1t is estimated that nearly 2,4OO
volts passed through the bodies of
the men, the shock being so great
that portions of the body Of Sousa,
who was nearest the live wire, were
blackened by the current.
Were Testing Lights.
Candee and Sousa were both re-
moved to their homes at a late hour
last night
Candee resided at 715 Massachu-
sets avenue northeast. while Sousa,
who is a nephew of John Philip
Sousa, the composer and band
leader, resided az 1907 G street
southeast.
At the time the two young men
received the fatal shock. Sousa
was testing the lights, which had
been installed but yesterday. He
had made several examinations OF
the wiring and installation, and in
formed Mr.. Candee that he had
been able to remedy all the defects.
He then expressed a wish to turn
on the lights over the fountain.
which before this time had been
working imperfectly.
He started to catch hold of one
Of the connections, when Candee,
who was standing directly behind
him, remarked:
Warning Ignored.
You had better put on your rubber
gloves"
Sousa replied that IL was not neces-
sary and Immediately caught hold OF
one OF the electric bulbs to turn on the
current.
A second later he reeled backward
with a stIhed cry. Candee caught the
falling man in an endeavor 10 jerk him
away from the current and a moment
later both men were lying stark upon
the floor.
Sousa died instantly. while Candies
died before he could reach the Casually
Hospital. two blocks away That Can
dee survived even for a moment Is
doubtless due TO the fact that he re-

SAT ON GOLF BALLS.

Paul Psntall, an enthusiastic golf
player, missed a dozen balls from
his house recently. His children had
been playing with them but could
not explain their disappearance.
Recently Mr.. Pantall gave one of
the children a pellet and after
watching a while found a clue that
gave promise of leading to a solu-
ton of the mystery. The child upon
receiving the tiny sphere made for a
hole in the kitchen floor and chucked
the pellet through. There being no
wall under the kitchen, Mr.. Pantall
went below but could find no trace
Of the ball. While crawling about
he suddenly came upon a hen that
Immediately challenged his progress.
Selling the hen by the neck, he
tossed her aside, when there in a nice
warm nest lay an even dozen of his
golf balls which the hen was trying
to hatch out.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

THE RARE OLD GRIZZLY.

The grizzly has now become so
rare that even his habits and his
tory are frequently misstated, and
by those, too, who would speak with
authority. II is a very common sup
position that he is an animal of Sc
elusive and solitary nature, who
wanders alone along the snow-line
Of the Sierras and the Rockies, de-
scending only occasionally upon
predatory visits to the valleys, as
Thomas S, Mosby points out in
Harper's Weekly. But the grizzly
ia solitary only because he is now
facing determination, and he inhab-
its the snow-line because he has been
driven from valley and plain, and
there is nowhere else to go.
