nine talesmen were subjected to ex
animation and cross-examination to-
day. neither of the two seats remain
ing vacant on the Ruef panel wa'
filed by a final acceptance.
Seven of the nine, among them c
member of the Spreckels family, were
excused for bias or other legal cause
two were accepted tentatively and o.
these latter one stood aside on per
emptory challenge by the defense
Ruef's attorneys also exercised per-
emptory challenge against one OF the
veniremen chosen yesterday, SO tna'
as the jury now stands ten men nave
been finally selected and sworn, one
is still subject to peremptory dismissal
and the twelfth has not yet been ex-
amined.
The incidents Of the day were the
examination of a speech making tales
men, the calling to the box OF the
treasurer cs the John d. Spreckels &
Bros company and the ejectment OF
Myrtle Cert from the court room by
order of Judge Dunno.
Edward P. Troy, an insurance man,
proved to be the liveliest prospective
Juror thus far cross-examined. He
elected TO make a speech in answer TO
nearly every question asked him by
Ruefs attorneys, who desired to dis
sunalify him for bias, and several
times he more than held his own in
sharp tits with Mr.. Ach.
Troy kept his seat at the end OF the
rnorrirE session despite the challenge
inrsrpased against him by the defense,
NIuf this ruling was subsequently re-
ws-ssd by Judge Dunno and the talka-

Though Mr. Gibson thought he could
try Ruef fairly and impartially, he
confessed later that he would not care
10 be tried by twelve men in his own
frame Of mind and he stood aside on
challenge by the defense.
Though done so quietly that only a
few among the large audience in at
tendance were aware of it, Judge
Dunno late in the day ordered the
ejectment of Myrtle Cert, one of Ruefs
henchmen, and who accompanied Ruef
into alleged hiding at the Trocadero
two months ago.
Cert has again and again, during the
trial, been openly scorned and de-
nounced in court by the prosecution,
and once was threatened with eject
ment for disturbing the proceedings.
Today he was holding a long whis-
pered conversation with Ruef at the
counsel table, when Judge Dunno
called Bailiff Moore to the bench and
said:
"Put Mr.. Cert out of the room ano
see that he does not come in here
again" The order was carried out.
The prosecution today announced the
names Of it's witnesses and subpoenas
for them were issued There is a pros
pect that the jury may be completed

EXPLOSION KILLS TWO
CHINESE AT PIN0LE
BY Associated Press.


PINOLE, CAL, May There was a
dynamite explosion at the powder
works here at 8:45 this morning. Two
Chinese were killed and one white man
injured. Gelatin mixing house No. 1
was blown to atoms.
The building was a small one and
only a few men were employed in it,
and this is the reason why so few
were injured. The company only all
lows $50 pounds of gelatin to be mixed
at one time. Two Chinese were en-
gagged in this work at the time of the
explosion.
William MCGEE, a white man, who
was passing the structure at the
moment of the explosion, was injured
by falling debris. The damage was
slight. Foreman Harrington had just
left the room and although only about
twenty feet away, escaped without a
scratch

BY Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, May 1.-The con-
f1ict here yesterday between sailors and
police followed an orderly banquet
which was given at the Cafe Leon de
Orc by party of flrst-class seamen OF
the United States cruiser Tacoma.
At l o'clock in the morning the men
separated and twelve of them went to
the cafe union. They were not intox-
icated. A police captain named Lay,
who was in citizens clothes, had been
watching this cafe all the evening with
seven or eight policemen to support
him.
At about o'clock in the morning
the seamen started for the wharf with
the intention of boarding the Tacoma.
Captain Lay claims that the seamen
started the trouble and the seamen
claims that the captain, without prov
ocation, started the disturbance.
AS the enlisted men of the Tacoma
had been hindered by the police on
their way to the wharf, Ensign Brisbin
decided to walk slightly ahead of the
party. Suddenly he heard a revolver
police charged with revolvers and
machettes.
Brisbin Wounded
BrlSDln received an ugly cut upon
the arm and was felled to the ground
three times. AS the crowd of seamen
came up the policemen empted their
revolvers at them, at the same time
attacking the American with ma
chettes. A fierce fight ensued with
the result that Henry l.. Lee, a fire.
man of the Tacoma, will probably die
of compound fracture of the skull,
by a machette, and gunshot
wound in the right breast.
Ten other members of the crew of
the Tacoma were taken to the ships
hospital suffering from machette
and clubbing. Not one of the
policemen was badly hurt, though sew
eral of them suffered from first con-
tusions.
The captain and az the policemen
who took part in the affray have been
by order of the civil gov
srnor of Santiago, upon the represen-
tations of Commander Tappan of the
Tacoma and American Consul Holiday, |
who affirms that the lives of the
American officers and men who go !
ashore are not safe while such men
ire permitted to act as agents Of the
aw.
Mr.. Holiday is making a thorough
investigation of the incident.

but rather than so kill man whose giant
stature offered a target as big as a
barn door," Orchard planted bomb and
planned the deed so that it might attract
the greatest amount of attention.
Orchard Had a Motive
Richardson asserted that Orchard had
a motive against Governor Steunenberg
for the real ar fancied loss of his interest
in the Hercules mine through being driV-
en- out of the Occur d'Alenes.
Orchards story of his many attempts
upon the lives of men said to have been
marked for death by the Federation, Mr..
Richardson said, was the most absurd
thing on the face of the earth. He de-
clared that it would be a long time be-
fore the law would sanction a conviction
on such testimony as had been adduced
against Haywood, and he pleaded with
the jury not to put halter about the
neck of his client, Eat the behest of the
Mine Owners association and it's repre-
sentatives."
AS to the disappearance of Jack Simp-
kins following the death of Governor
Steunenberg, Attorney Richardson said
he, too would have fled to hiding under
similar circumstances, although there
was not an iota of evidence to connect
Simpkins with the crime. Simpkins had
one experience in an Idaho bull pen and
felt his only safety was in flight.
When at 11:2O a. m. a recess was or
dered until 6 p. m. Attorney Richardson
announced that he would positively close
his address to the Haywood jury some
time tonight.
GriIIing the Pinkertons
Forsaking the theory of vengeance as
Orchards motive for the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, Mr.. Richardson
argued that Orchard was in the employ of
the Pinkerton detective agency when he
killed Steunenberg, and that the murder
was part of conspiracy to hang Hay
wood
This sudden departure was followed by
a tremendous denunciation of Captain
James MCFARLAND and the Pinkertons
and passionate vituperation of Orchard
Governor Gooding of Idaho, Senator
Borah Governor Peabody of Colorado,
and in fact all who have acted on the
side of the prosecution of Haywood came
in for share of the avalanche of Rich
ardsons peroration.
One of the arguments in defense of
William D. Haywood was concluded this
evening. e. F. Richardson, having
spoken for nearly nine hours, wound up
with peroration in which he eloquently
pleaded with the jury not to convict Hay
wood on the testimony of the self-con-
fessed criminal Orchard, whose testi-
mony, he said, had not been corroborated
by any testimony, standing by itself and
unsupported by Orchard, to convict Hay.
wood with any conspiracy to commit
crime
Mr. Richardson denounced and charged
the Pinkerton detective agency with a
systematic plot to secure the conviction
of Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone as

WEIRD PIPE DREAM
ABOUT PIPE FILINGS
Commissioner So Deslnates Certain
Stories Relative to Brands of
Tobacco ReckIessly
Printed
Special to The Herald.


MINNEA POLLS, July 23.-Acting Com
missioner John McCabe, in absence of
Commissioner Slater of the pure food de-
partment, declared today that the stories
generally circulating through the north
west derogatory to several standard
brands of smoking tobacco were entirely
without foundation, in so far, at least, as
the commission was concerned.
The stories cite an imaginary analysis
in which one well known brand was found
to have no tobacco at all, the greater part
being common brown paper, and that an
equally popular brand was only 10 per
cent tobacco.
ut would be interesting to know where
such a report originated" said Acting
Commissioner McCabe, "as we certainly
have made no analysis of the kind.
Whether the big four brands in question
are made out of tobacco or not the story
of our having rendered such verdict is
made out of whole cloth. If, however.
American manufacturers can successfully
transmute brown paper into tobacco why
bother about the Havana article any
longer? No, somebody has been dream"

RidicuIes Orchards Story


Richardson ridiculed Orchards story as
being ordered to ''get' David II. Moffat,
president of the First National bank OF
Denver. He declared that Haywood de-
posted all the funds of the federation In
this bank and was a constant visitor
there.
Think of that, men! And yet this crea-
ture, covered with this slime OF his past
crimes, comes here and would have you
believe that Haywood was planning to
commit murder on the man to whom he
was entrusting the funds of the organiza-
ton of which he was secretary treasurer,
upon David H. Moffat, with whom he was
on terms of almost intimate friendship.
Everything connected with this matter
gives the lie of Orchards monstrous
story"
Richardson pointed out how easy 1t
would have been for Orchard to have
killed General Sherman Bell, had it been
so desired, and he declared that If there
was any one man against whom the
Federation might feel resentment 1t was
Sherman Bell, who was in command of
the militia during the strike period in
Colorado.
But nothing was done to Bell, nothing
was done to General Buckley Wells. Not
even Orchard could testify to so much
as an attempt on the life of the latter,
who was prominent both in the militia
and in the Mine Owners association. The
attorney declared that Orchard had
brought into the case all the various at
tempts he said he had been hired to
make, for the purpose of infaming the
minds of the jurors.
Mr.. Richardson said that while every
state is expected to take care of the
crimes committed within her borders,
Colorado had sent IAN ocean of her dirty
linen here for you gentlemen to wash
Coming again in the course of his
argument to the death of Governor
Steunenberg, Haywood's counsel said the
defense was ready and willing to admit
that Orchard committed the deed exactly
as he described it.
Richardson declared that Governor
Steunenberg's immense stature and the
freedom with which he went about the
country made him a shining mark Tor
assassination.
HE could have been shot by anybody
able to hit the side of a barn door,
asserted Richardson, land Orchard him
self tells you that Steunenberg each week
took long drives to the sheep camps
across the plains where he could be seen
for miles. There was not week of his
life that he could not have been safely
killed, had there been a desire for his
taking off in anything but spectacular
manner"

BOISE, Idaho, July 23.-Declaring Har-
ry Orchard was a maniac possessed with
lust for murder-a desire to glut a dis
ordered brain with the blood of his fell
low man-Attorney e. F. Richardson, con-
tinuing today his plea for the life Of
William d. Haywood, told the jury that
the defense was ready and willing to
admit that Orchard accomplished the
taking off of Governor Steunenberg in the
manner described by him on the witness
stand.
Orchard was painted as a man who
fancied there was glory in spectacular
crime. Day after day opportunity was
offered to him to kill Governor Steunen-
berg in comparative safety to himself
