President Writes Another Letter
Referring to the "Undesir-
able Citizen" Matter.
HE WANTS EXACT JUSTICE DONE
Ready to Help Right Amy Miscarriage
in the Steunenberg Case.
Hints That the Miscarriage Is More
Likely To Be in Favor of Meyer
and Haywood Than 9th
erWiSe.

New York, May Gin a letter read
before the Central Federated Union
President Roosevelt states that if evil
dence is submitted to him showing
that there has been a miscal rage of
justice for or against Meyer and Hay
wood, awaiting trial at Boise. Ida,
charged with the murder of eX-GOverr-
or Steunenberg, he will bring sucn evi.
dence to the attention Of the attorney
general for such action. if any, as It
may be in the power of the federal
authorities to take. The communica-
ton was the formal reply of the presi-
dent to the committee of the IN on
which recently called upon the p EST
dent at Washington and requeste him
to set forth in general his attitude to-
ward the accused men and spec;fi al
ly why he had referred to Meyer ana
Haywood as undesirable citzens."
President Is Championed.
Tn making his report the chair man,
John Henry, said that the COMMITTEES
had spent more than an hour with the
president, at which time the matter in
hand was thoroughly discussed. The
president signified his intention of
formally replying in the letter which
the chairman then read. Following tn
reading there was an animated dis
cussiOn during which the chairman and
William COakley, another member OF
the committee, stoutly championed the
attitude of the chief executive 1t was
finally voted to send copy of the let
ter to counsel for Meyer and Hay
wood
The presidents letter began by quot
ing from letter he wrote to the at
tOrney general March %, 1906. in
which he says of the MOyer-HaywOOd
case: Our duty is Gf it should ever
happen that we had any power in the
matter) to see that exact justice is
done these men. The sole
question as regards Meyer and Hay
wood must be the question whether
or not they can be shown to- be guilty
of this particular act. and their legal
rights must be as carefully safeguard
ed as those of any other men. 1t is
alleged that they were extradited from
Colorado in manner that amounted
to a betrayal of their legal rights" He
asks information from the district at
torneys of Colorado and Idaho OH the
point, and whether there is any dspo-
sition to deny the men their legal
rights.

ready on the ground
Counsel for the prosecution, James FL.
Hawley and Senator w. E. 30 ah, who
have been engaged espe tally. are Of
the opinion that there will be 10 fur
ther delay. An application for a bill
of particulars, filed by the defense, will
be argued today before Judge Fremont
Wood, who will try the Haywood ca e.
but as his decision is not appealable it
is not thought that this will cause any
postponement The history of the
cases of the men charged with the
murder OF Steunenberg shows much
delay. all of which has been necessar-
ly expensive to the state of Idaho and
to the defense. The opposing lawyers
allcge that it was the ''other fellow
that delayed the case.
A number of labor unions and fed
erations throughout the country is to
be represented during the trials by
members especially chosen for the pur
pose. These representatives will at
tend the trial and make reports to
their organizations.
Boise, Ida. May 1.-THE argument
of the motion Of the defense for 4 bill
of particulars in the case of William,
d. Haywood. charged with the murder
of former Governor Stcurenburg, was
commenced before Judge Fremo ut
Wood at 1915 Il. M. By diret ton of
the court Haywood was brought mp
from the county jail below to attend
the hearing on the motion.

'INTEGPERATE VIOLENCE',
So He Calls the Words OF Debs and
Other Labor Advocates

The letter to the attorney gen raj
then proceeds: ION the other hand
should like to know whether the is
any symptom of a miscarriage of jus
ticC in their favor. The intemperate
violence with which the SOcialistic or
labor papers like that of Debs. and |
am sorry to say some labor organiZa-
tions, have insisted, without any
knowledge of the facts, upon treating
these men as martyrs to the cause Of
labor has unquestiOnably resulted in
tremendous pressure being brought to
bear upon the authorities Of Idaho to
discharge or acquit them whether
guilty or innocent.
80 far as the unions are anxious
only to see that exact justice is done
these men; that they are given their
full legal rights and not condemned
unless proved guilty of this specific act,
they are entitled to the cordial coop
Grafton of all just and fair-ininded citi-
Zens. SO far as by any action. or by
murderOuS and reasonable language
such as that quoted above from Debs
(and others they tend to bring pres
sure to bear upon the state authorities
and the courts, to obstruct the course
OF Justice. and to render it difficult
To convict the men if guilty, they are
equally without stint to be condemned
and anything that the federal authori,
ties can do in either event to further
the cause of justice is to be done"
The presidents letter than says: in
response to your question it is, / trust
:, needless for me to say tlatif sat any
time you or any one else can submit
TO me any evidence showing that there
has been a miscarriage of justice for
or against Messrs. Meyer or Haywood
which you believe it IS in my power
to remedy. l will at once bring such
evidences to the attention of the attor,
ney general to have him give it the
fullest consideration and to take there
on such action. if any. as it may be
in the power of the federal authorities
to take"
