CASE CLOSES
BY TOMORROW

Boise. idaho, July Ex-senator
Borah continued his argument for the
prosecution in the Haywood trial this
morning.
II hardly need tell you sensible
men, he began. "that the Pinkerton
detectives had nothing to do with the
assassination Of steunenberg. That
is one Of the most absurd Of the many
absurd things brought into this case
by counsel for defense"
Borah, in laying the foundation for
his argument OF conspiracy, pointed
out that Orchard went to Caldwell
from Denver fresh from his associa-
ton with the officers of the Western
Federation Of Miners who regarded
Steunenberg as an enemy. He then
touched up on the fact that Marion
Moore, an officer Of the Federation,
II testifying for the defense admitted
that he agreed with Orchard to de-
ceive Orchards wife when Orchard
wished to desert her.
Brands Pettlbone Guilty.
"Orchard left Denver with crime
in his heart" declared Borah passion
ately. "The impelling, compelling
force came from Denver. George
Pettibone helped Orchard pack his
utensils Of murder in his trunk. Why
in Pettibone not here to deny It? His
- iIo,, fe - ,fe, Dnf-
tibone's absence is an absolute cor
roboration Of Orchard"
United States Senator Borah opened
his closing argument at z o'clock last
night. He will close today and Judge
Wood will instruct the jury Saturday
morning.
Borah Answers Darrow.
The senator denounced Clarence
Darrow's statements that the jurors
minds had been poisoned against th4
defense.
Nowhere" he declared. "could o
fairer trial have been held than IN
Boise"
"Have you men heard anybody on
the streets Of Boise asking for the
blood of William D. Haywood, regard
less of his guilt? No; and 1t is tc
the everlasting credit of the people
of Idaho that, despite the fact that
one Of our most distinguished citizens
was foully. murdered, nowhere has
there been an outcry for anything
but justice after an absolutely fail
and impartial trial.

Males fitness and qualifications as a
teacher. She herself denied that on ex-
animation she was found wanting; that
she was dismissed by vote of the
board, or that she was dismissed be
cause of any charge or accusation against
her being presented to the board.
Miss Male denied each Of the allega-
tions in the answer Of the board of edu-
cation TO her original petition for man
damus. She asked an inquiry by the
court as to the following questions:
Whether the relator was not a member
of the teaching force Of the public schools

size. on September -. 1905, had another
interview with DR. Chancellor at which
time she was informed that he had NOM
mated her: whether she was advised that
her communication Of September Is, 1896.
To the board of education had been laid
upon the table because no charges OF
accusations had been filed against her,
and. therefore, it was impossible for
them TO comply with her request.

WINSLOW CASE NOT REPORTED
Treasury Officials Unadvised of Al
legged Smuggling.
Question Raised whether Naval Of
hcer Is Not Entitled to Bring i'm
Wines and Cigars Duty Free.

The Treasury Department has received
no official information as to the alleged
attempt of Capt Cameron Winslow. com
mander of the United States cruiser
Charleston. 10 avoid the payment Of duty
on goods brought IN on the Charleston
at the port Of San Diego, Cal. A teIe-
gram Of inquiry has been sent TO the
collector of customs at San Diego.
The report was that Capt Winslow
attempted 10 avoid the payment Of duty
on several boxes. which were marked
Household goods, but which when open
ed were found to contain cigars and
champagne, intended to be shipped TO his
Newport, r. l., cottage.
Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Reynolds, who has charge of all matters
relating TO customs affairs, was absent
from the city yesterday.
II is the impression Of Treasury officials
that reports Of Winslow's detention have
been greatly exaggerated. or that some
inspector has been Overzealous. They
point to the fact that Winslow made no
effort 90 conceal the liquors and cigars
said TO have been Struggled.
Further than this II has never been
absolutely determined whether govern
ment officials in bringing their household.
goods into the United States. are not
entitled TO include therein liquors and
tobacco. If those have been made a part
Of their household effects in good faith.
