yet appear, but they are well known.
A few days ago. in the course OF the
hearing. the three masters, appointed by
the court TO determine Mfs. Eddy S
business capacity, visited her at her
home and found her to be not only
competent but exceedingly alert and
quite a match for the gentlemen whe
visited her.
"And the result of this interview has
established beyond any doubt the fact
that Mrs EDDY is not only physically
strong for one OF her years, but one
OF the most alert women Of her age

CONSPIRACY JURY
OUT five HOURS
Nh Indications About Its Deliberations;
Dramatic Incidents Concerning
the Sick Juror
...,., to evening Teller.

s,scial to Evening Teller.
MOSCOW, Idaho, June 15.-The
,.na fraud case came up for hearing
.gain this morning with the sick
.uror. ]. w. Robinson, in court on
.,retcher with two physicians and .
...,nad nurse in attendance. 1t was
unique incident in the history Of
oorvte and dramatic in the extreme.
Ths ,uror was still very ILL., He is old
.od his hair and beard white as snow
.ccantuated the palor Of his emacia-
ted cheeks
Tho court room was crowded hrst
~ account of the sick Juror and OF
4he added fact of the importance of
the Judges charge. This occupied two
hours in reading and was an exhaus-
tive review of the law and evidence in
the case. 1t was considered eminent
" fair and impartial and meets with
satisfaction from both sides.
Judge Dietrich's charge to the jury
was clear, fair and impartial and con-
sumed an hour and half in its de-
liyerance. He covered fully and ex-
plicity the conspiracy charge in the
,ndicNeent and alsc gave them full
exposition of the stone and timber
law, advising them what under 1t
would be a violation and what would
not be a violation. He concluded his
charge with an admonition as to their
conduct and duties during their de-
liberations in the jury room and espe-
elally impressed upon them that it was
their duty to harmonic their opinions
and arrive at verdict. Now that the
case is in the hands of the jury much
speculation is being indulged in as to
the verdict The defense are conf
dent of an acquittal, the prosecution
of a conviction and many predict a
disagreement
The jury retired to deliberate in the
suite Of rooms where the sick juror
Is located and there is an agreement
Of counsel that the nurse and physi-
clan may visit Robinson. The session
was without incident except for the
sick man.
At 8: Is there was still no word
from the jury room to indicate no"
the deliberations were going, but the
fact that the jury has now been out
Ave hours is thought to indicate thai
the chances for a disagreement are
more pronounced than for any othei
verdict. It is reported that juror
Robinson is not sufferipg from the
strain and that he viii come through
the ordeal without serious complica'
ton.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 15.-The
second Russia parliament the Asso-
ciated Press is informed by ministral
authority will be dissolved by the i'm
perial edict which will be promulgated
as soon as the lower house acts on the

the Indictment against the social
democrats will ask the house to give
it until Monday to report.
The city again has assumed the ap-
pearance of an armed camp. Through

and cavalery were arriving and Ions
lines of transport wagons with camI
equipages travelled throughout the

Every railroad station is occupied
by two companies of infantry, tive
squadrons of cavalry and armoreC

States Witnesses Confirm DetailsOf Direct
Statements From Prosecution
Evidence

BOISE, June 15.-The prosecutions
in the Steunenberg murder trial won,
its fight for the admission Of the con-
tents of the telegram Steve Adams
sent from Ogden to Defendant Hay
wood at Denver. June, 1903, and De-
tective Pender, of Ogden, was per-
mitted to testify to the contents this
morning. The message was an appeal
from Adams to Haywood for money.
The state produced and secured the,
admission of six drafts sent by Hay
wood to Jack Simpkins at various,
times in 1904-5-6. One was sent just
before and one just after the Steun--
enberg murder. They were introduced
to show the relations Of Haywood and
Simpkins, who aided Orchard on the.
first attempt to kill Steunenberg.
The state also produced fragments
of the pistol and the device by which
the Internal machine placed in the
Vindicator mine was set off. This led
to a general disgression on the whole
story of the Cripple Creek strike Of
| 1904 in which the defense sought to
show violence and incitement to vio-
lence by the agents and officers of the
Mine Owners association and the high.
handed injustice by the militia after
martial law was declared.

The plan would have expired in 1914
The termination of this plan is said

of letting the stockholders manage

launch of the battleship Minnesota
was located in q feet of water about
1,6O0 yards west by south OF Fort
Wool yesterday about O'CLOCK
Across the little craft was tell tale
niece of tow line. serving to convince
the naval officers that they were right
in their theory that the launch was
run down by float of some kind IN
tow of tug.
The diver who went down to ex-
anime the launch reported that the
head and arms of three men were
protruding from beneath the canvass
covering, the men having made des-
perate fight for life, when they Were

be o'clock today before the launch
can be raised and at the present time
no one knows how many bodies VII
be found. 1t is believed that certainly
none of the bodies will be under th'
canopy. The fact that the uniform
caps of Midshpmen Ulrich and Stew

dicate that these two must have sue
ceeded in getting free from the boa
before they were drowned.

new PUMP
HAS ARRIVED
Water Company will Id
stall at Once and Double
y.
Present Capacity

The new electric pump for the
pumping station of the water system
arrived last night and will be taken
to the station today to be installed by
Colwell Bros, of Seattle, by whom the
equ pment is furnished.
The pump is manufactured by the
Gould company and has a capacity Of
100000 gallons per "a hours and will
be driven by a $50 electric motor of
the Westinghouse type.
All preparations for the installation
of the new equipment have been COM
pleted and it is expected all will be in
readiness for service by July 1.
The addition of the new pump gives
the Lewiston water system a capacity
of 5000, 900 gallons per day and from
an estimate computed upon the basis
of the water consumed In former
wears, the requirements of the city
win not exceed 2,5O0,000 per day al
the present time.
The purchase of the new pump be-
comes necessary on account of liaoh-
itv of accident to one pump when be-
ing operated to the fullest capacity
for a long period, but with placing II
service the new machinery the city II
insured against water famine.
The two pumps will be operated
simultaneously during tn? daytime
thus eliminating the necessity o
maintaining 9. double shift OF me
chanics at the pumping station. TN
will materially lessen the operatin
axnenses of the water department.
