KANSAS CITY, May s.-Judge w. J..
Gaynor OF the appellate division OF the su-
preme court of New York addressed the

it's monthly dinner. Judge Gaynor spoke
on freight rate abuses and said that while
the actual payment of rebates is now sell
dom done. favortism is still practiced in
many ways. He spoke of the railroads as
public highways and said the fact that
they can be used to enable a few men to
destroy business values is the basest crime
of our day. lie did not favor government
ownership, but said that because of this
favoritsm It was no wonder a growing
number Of people wanted the government to
take over the railroads.

CANNON SILL STANDPATTER
Takes Occasion in Interview to Say
that Present Conditions Are
Satisfa ctOry.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-speaker Can
non, on having his attention called to a
report which has gained currency that he
is out for tariff revision as a presidential
candidate and has abandoned the stand
patters, yesterday said:
'T do not know where the grape vine
originated The only knowledge have in
the matter is the reports"
Mr. Cannon said further:
"In the campaign of a year ago the
republican party won a victory which
gave the republicans a majority Of Atty
eight in the sixtieth congress, which or
ganizes in December next, upon the cry
let we'll enough alone, and have no
doubt that the sixtieth congress so elected
will be true to the pledges made in the
campaign"
"Just wait until congress convenes in
December and get the real news and not
think stories" added the speaker,
In a jocular vein, however, he replied to
questions affecting his own presidential
prospects
One of his observations in reply to the
suggestion that Senator Cullom had said
he would be the party's choice was to the
effect that he would rather that the people
had II IN their power TO make him presi-
dent than to be president.

SLOW PROGRESS IN BOISE
New Yenire H. Examined for Excuses
and One Juror In Partially
Accepted.

BOISE, Idaho, May 23-The net results
OF this, the tenth day OF the Haywood
trial, were the partial wedding out OF the
talesmen OF the second special venire en-
titled to statutory examination and the
partial qualification Of one juror. The ex-
animation of the venire has not proceeded
very far but It shows that recreation of
interest In the Steunenbcrg murder and
the rediscussion of the facts established and
disputed is, by natural process, disaual-
flying many citizens for jury service in the
case, and indicates that the publicity given
to examination of talesmen has widely in
creased popular knowledge as to the means
of artistically avoiding jury service in the
case.
The sixty men of the second special venire
presented themselves when the Judge as
cended the bench at O'Clock this afternoon.
and when It was announced that the court
would hear excuses, twenty-three of the
sixty marched forward Judge Wood said
that he would accept only those excuses
which clearly came within the statute, and
when he made good his announcement the
band of petitioners melted very quickly.
Five petitions were fatty denied, nine were
temporarily denied and six were granted.
The other three petitioners did not bother
to present their excuses.
Then began the attempt to fill seat No,
0, made vacant by the release of Juror
Orrle Cole on account of illness. The first
five talesmen had opinions that would. re-
qulre evidence to change-one of them said
his opinion would last regardless of the
evidence-and they all went down on chal-
lenges from the state.
Next the clerk successfully drew the
names of four talesmen whose petitions
for excuse had just been temporarily de-
MED in order to give them time to get
certificates from physicians as to the illness
OF themselves or their wives, and 1t was
agreed that they should all be passed until
the court finally decides on their spplica-
tons.
| The tenth and last talesman called was
Henry Curtis, a farmer, and he gave every
indication of qualifying. Senator Borah led
him over long examination that showed
him to be free from opinion or bias and
TO be quite open-minded. Just as the state
! passed him for cause and he went to the
hands of the defense for examination, the
trial was adjourned until $3.50 tomorrow
morning.

JUDGE HARGIS NOT GUILTY
Decision of Jury Comes Three Years
After the Shooting of
COckriIl.

LEXINGTON, KY. May 23,-Almost ex-
actly three years after the shooting Of
Town Marshal Thomas Cockrill at jackson,
a verdict of not guilty was returned here
today in the case of Judge James Hargis,
the first of those who were jointly charged
with that murder, and another chapter in
the famous Breathitt county feud annals
was concluded. t,-
On Juno 81, 1904, Cockrill was shot in the
court house at Jackson. dying later at
Lexington where he was taken for medi-
cal attention, and during the trial several
witnesses swore that Judge Hargis. his
brothers and Sheriff Ed Callahan had en-
tered into a murder conspiracy, promising
immunity to anyone who would shoot
Cockrill, DR.. B. d. Cox and j. B, Marcum,
all three Of whom have died since by
shooting. The defense however, presented
testimony tending to disprove the conspir-
acy charge and Judge Hargis, testifying on
his own behalf, denied all connection with
the shooting. Curt Jett, who confessed to
killing Marcum, for which he was given a
life sentence, was a witness against Judge
Hargis.
The next trial in this series will be called
at Sandy Hook Elliott county, next Mon
day, when the same defendants will be
tried for the murder of DR.. B. d. Cox at
Jackson on April IA, 1902, a change OF venue
having been taken from Breathitt county.
When the verdict was announced great
cheer arose from the friends OF Judge
Hargis, who crowded the court room. II
is believed now that the cases of Alexander
and Elbert Hargis and Edward Callahan,
also charged with compliOity in plots to
kill Cockrill, viii be filed away in the
court here. The evidence is practically
the same against tho other three men,
as we'll es Bill Britton, who is awaiting

BEST RAIN OF THE SEASON
Precipitation Of Wednesday Most Beneficial
to Largest Area.
WELL DISTRIBUTED OVER THE STATE
Not only Nebraska, but States as
Far East as Ohio Get Some
of This Much Needed
Moisture,

The best and most generally distributed
rain Of the spring season fell over most
Of Nebraska Wednesday night. The pre-
cipitation varied from 152 inches at Grand
Island to .26 of an inch at Omaha. The
heaviest precipitations were at Grand
Island, 1.52; Ashland, l.4s; Fairmont, 10:
while elsewhere throughout the state the
average ran from one-third to one-fourth
Of an inch The rain extended eastward
over Iowa, where It is yet raining, to the
Ohio and upper lake regions with heavy
downpours in northern Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio.
The southern part OF the corn and wheat
belt was not so well favored. The rain ex-
tended to the southern line of Nebraska
and no rain is reported in Kansas and
Missouri
The rain is timely and will be of i'm
measurable benefit throughout the cattle
country where there has been some ap-
prehension of a shortage Of grass. Cattle
men in Omaha Thursday from the northern
and western parts Of the cSSte say the rain
means millions of dollars benefit for the
cattle country and that in the wheat and
corn sections the value will be even
greater. There has been a very percepti-
bic shortage of tho wheat stalks, but, as
the berry was just in its first formative
stages, the impulse Of the rain will de-
velop the berry rapidly and that pros
poets for q wheat crop are yet good
Everything is Lovely.
Albert Lewis from southwestern Ne
braska, who is stopping at the Merchants
hotel said. 1--WE have had moro rain and
moisture in the southwestern part of the
state than has fallen in the eastern portion.
Corn is most all planted there and looks
very well. We could stand more rain,
but still the corn is not suffering badly
Wheat is short, but with continued rains
1 think 1t will cause the spectators to
drop a cent or two a bushel before harvest,
If this rain has extended into the western
part of the state it will have a splendid
| effect on oats and wheat out there
though the late season will cause q
shortage of the oats crop. We are more
| interested in corn and alfalfa in our part
OF the country and are calculating or
anywhere from half to two-thirds aver
age crop"
