DENIAL MADE OF
HENEY STORY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AU-
THORIZES INTERVIEW MAX
ING DENIAL OF REPORT ABOUT
BRISTOL APPOINTMENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The
Christmas celebration at the White
House was interrupted long enough
for the issuance of a statement re-
garding the subject matter of con-
versation Monday night between the
president and Francisco ]. Heney,
certain subjects having been pub
lished which incorrectly state facts.
1t authoritatively announced that
Heney has not, as alleged, recon-
mended to the president the renomi-
nation of w, G, Bristol as United
States attorney of Oregon. "The fact
is" it was stated, "Heney's errand
here was on no such mission. He
acquiesced in the removal of Bris-
tol, and said Bristol's conduct left
no other alternative for the govern
ment."
1t was further denied that Mr..
Heney had any conversation with
the president which in any way in
volved United States senator with
the subject of alleged railroad land
frauds in Oregon.

GREAT GROWTH
fruit CULTURE
ORCHARD LANDS IN NEZ PIERCE
COUNTY INCREASED SEVERAL
HUNDRED ACRES-2Oo0 ACRES
FURNISHED BY ONE FIRM

The present year has witnessed
considerable addition to the fruit
area of Nez Perce county. In every
part of the county new orchards
have been set out and old ones en-
larged, until few are the farms that
have not their home or commercial
orchard.
The largest percentage of the
years planting has been in the vi
cinity of Lewiston, but the outlying
districts have done their share
towards the increase of the orchard
industry and will continue to do so,
as every part of Nez Perce county is
adapted to the culture of fruit in a
greater or less degree.
Fifteen hundred fruit trees, con-
sisting OF apples, pears, cherries and
peaches, were delivered in the Lewis
ton district by Mr.. G. B. Chaffee,
who has for the past few years been
handling flrst-cIass nursery stock.
Apples lead In the list and peaches
are second and cherries third.
This delivery alone would in.
crease the acreage of fruit lands by
200 acres, which is of itself no small
item in the development OF the
development of the country. In ad-
dition to the delivery made by Mr.
Chaffee there have been numerous
others, which further increases the
total planting and adds to the or
chard wealth OF the country.
The change from broad fields oi
wheat to the well-trained and pro-
ductive orchards means a great deal
for the country. It speaks for an in-
creased value in the lands, a higher
and more valuable production, q
greater population, better improve
ments, more substantial citizen.
ship, better homes and more of the
real comforts OF life and a greater
wealth for the entire country.

NEVADA MINES
GREAT PRODUCT
VALUE OF PROPERTIES WHERE
LABOR TROUBLES ARE CAN
BE APPRECIATED FROM STUDY
OF THIS REPORT

The Importance of Goldfield as q
mineral section is strikingly indi-
Gated by the report of James H.
Nevin, state license and bullion tax
agent of Nevada. 1t shows that for
nine months ending September 80
the mines in the district will have to
pay in taxes on bullion $197,S3O.33.
This tax is on the net receipts of
mines at a rate of 40 per cent.
The proceeds go into the county
treasury, with the exception of
three fourths of l per cent, or rs
cents, which is delivered to the
state treasury.
Nevada is the only state that
levies a bullion tax. According to it's
law, the tax agent has a right to
make a complete inspection of the
books of any mining company to as
certain whether or not the tax on it's
produce should be assessed.
Mr.. Nevin has made the following
statement:
The gross value of the gold and
silver production of Nevada this
year will not be far from $25, 5,O0O,-
600, and this is certainly a splendid
showing, considering the numerous
troubles we have gone through.
Goldfield will be credited with half
of this amount. The bullion tax col
lected does not include the ores on
the dumps or the ores in transit that
have been sampled.
II predict that next year the gross
value of the gold and silver produc-
ed in Nevada will not be less than
$5O,O0o, and Goldfield will be the
agent for half of it,

DRUCE LITIGANTS
INCOMPLICATION
THOSE WHO SOUGHT TO BREAK
INTO DUKE OF PORTLAND's
ESTATE NOW LIKELY TO FACE
CRIMINAL CHARGES

LONDON, Dec. 25.-It is said here
that as a result of consultations held
between the lawyers engaged for the
Duke of Portland and Lord Howard
de Walden and Herbert Druce, in re-
sisting George Hollamby Druces
claim to the dukedom, suit for con-
spiracy probably will be instituted
against the promoters of the Druce
litigation.
Herbert Druce has decided that
while he refused to assent to the
opening of his fathers grave in con-
nection with the present prosecu-
tion against himself, he will consent
to having the coffin exhumed and
its contents verified as a basis for
contempt and criminal proceedings
against his nephews' hackers.
One other witness beside Robert
Caldwell, who fed home to New
York, will be prosecuted for perjury.
The London authorities refuse to
say positively whether or not they
will ask for the extradition of Rob-
ert Caldwell, who left London while
under surveillance. 1t is believed,
however, that no such request has
yet been made and that the authori-
ties still have the question under
consideration.
Within the last day or two there
was conference of police officials
and solicitors, when the matter was
thoroughly gone into. The summons,
charging Herbert Druce with per-
jury in affirming that he saw his
father in his coffin, was granted on
the sworn statements of Caldwell,
Miss Mary Robinson and Mrs. Mar
garet Hamilton, who later appear
ed for the prosecution.

Strangest Automobile

A queer automobile was shipped
from London recently for New Zea-
land, whence it will be sent on
board the Nimrod for the use of
Lieutenant Shackleton in his dash
for the south pole. The car has
wheels like those used on motor ON
nibuses, but when ice has to be traY-
ersed the rims will be fitted with
four-inch spikes, set in pairs, to
afford grip. In these circum-
stances, too, the front wheels will
not revolve, but win be fixed to
broad runners, resembling skis.
The exhaust gases will be used TO
heat a snow tank on the car, thus
providing supply of drinking wa
ter. The gases will also heat a foot
warmer flxed to the floor of the car.
Over ground similar to that explored
by the Scott expedition the car could
carry crew of three men with sup
piles 150 miles a day.

RIVERSIDE, Cal, Dec. 25.-P.
v, Swanguen, a constable at Tomo-
cula, and Louis Scallier, a French
man, were shot and killed by Horace
Magee, a half-breed Indian, at bill
lard room. Magee was struck on the
head with billiard cue by John
Jackson, bystander and will die.
Magee was intoxicated, and no at
tention was being paid to him,
which seemed to anger him and he
drew his pistol and shot without
provocation.

to return verdict of not guilty,
said that the evidence in this case
is weaker than in the Haywood case,
because at the former trial the tes-
timony of Orchard that the letter re-
ceived by him at the Caldwell iail
was written by Pettibone was undis-
puted, while in the present case
Sheriff Nichols had testified that
the handwriting of the letter was
not that of the defendant. Taking
up the subject of the Idaho statute
which permits the punishment of
nonresidents who did not commit
crime personally, the same as the
principal, he said that the conten-
tion of the defense was that the ie-
fendant is entitled to the compul-
sorry process of the law to compel the
attendance of witnesses and that It
also worked an injustice on the de-
fendant to be required to take depo-
sitions in his own behalf. Nugent
urged that the Indictment should
have been made charging the de-
fendant as an accessory before rhe
fact.
Senator Borah spoke for the pros
eeution. He said the Idaho supreme
court had passed on the question nf
accessory and principal. In answer
TO Nugents point as to the consti-
tutionality of the Idaho statute he
said there was no presumption that
the witnesses were anywhere but
t%here the crime was committed aud
that there would have to he evidence
to the contrary before the matter
could be declared by the court.
Mr.. Borah said that 1t was tho
theory of the state that. first, there
was general conspiracy 20 kill
those who were enemies or were sup
posed to be enemies Of the Wstern
Fedration; scond, that st1nenberg
was killed for that reason: third,
that the defendant was IA embar
of that conspiracy, and fourth, that
Steunenberg was killed by member
of the same conspiracy in further
ance of it's objects. lie said that the
evidence showed that a conspiracy
had been formed foc n particular
purpose and that the defendant was
a member of that conspiracy ana
that 1t was not necessary to show
that the defendant had particular
knowledge of the particular crime.
If 1t was shown that the crime was
committed In furtherance of the OBJ
jects of the conspiracy The only
question or corroboration, he said, !
was whether or not Orchard had
been corroborated relative 70 the
general conspiracy. Borah then !
chiefly reviewed the evidence.
In closing the argument Nugent
said that the confederation of Or
chard had to be by evidence entirely
aside from the testimony of Orchard.
He said the state had absolutely fail
ed to show motive on the part of
Pettibone for the murder of steuO- !
enberg. When Nugent concluded
court adjourned until Thursday
at 10 o'clock.

HOWARD GIVES
STRONG STORY
POWERS DEFENSE STRENGTH
ENED GREATLY BY EVIDENCE
OF JAMES HOWARD-YOUT-
SEY IMPLICATED

GEORGETOWN, KY, Dec. 25.-
James Howard, chief witness for the
defense in the Caleb Powers trial.
took the stand yesterday. He said
that at the time Goebel was shot he
was in the public room of the Board
of Trade hotel at Frankfort. A
man named Robinson stepped out in
front of the hotel and brought back
the information that Goebel was
shot. He and others in the room
jumped up and ran to the door, hor-
rified at the news. After the shoot
ing Howard went with the others to
the Capitol hotel but he did not see
Goebel then, and in fact never saw
him before to know him. Howard
denied most emphatically that he
ever received letters from Taylor or
Youtsey asking him to come to
Frankfort. He did not know Tay-
lor and had never seen him. The
witness said further he did not
know Youtsey and had never seen
him until both had been tried and
convicted and were in jail at Frank
fort. He then was introduced to
Youtsey in the Frankfort Jail by
Mrs. Youtsey in the presence of Mrs.
Howard, his wife, Mrs. Bullitt and
others.
Howard said he did not know he
was charged with the assassination
until he saw in the newspapers that
he. had.-heen indicted. About tha
same time bench warrant was sent
to Clay county for his arrest. AS
soon as notified that he had been in
dicted he surrendered to Sheriff
White and accompanied him to
Frankfort to answer the charges
against him. Since then he had not
had days freedom.
Howard most emphatically denied
that he was on the state house
square at any time during the morn
ing of January 80, when Goebel was
shot; said that he was not inside
the executive building that morn
ing: that he never saw Governor
Taylor or Youtsey and declared he
had absolutely nothing to do with
the assassination.
The witness admitted that late in
the afternoon of the day Goebel was
shot he with others visited Capitol
square, going as far as the steps Of
the executive building.
Howard stated that he and Yout-
sey were in jail together at Frank
fort and before Youtsey made his
confession he said to him:
Howard, so far as know, you
are innocent of any connection with
the assassination of Goebel, but Ar
thur Goebel is cruel and willing to
see the Kentucky river run with in
nocent blood" we

CARROBRA7IVE TESTIMONY
HAS BEEN INSUFFICIENT
RULING IN PETTIB0NE JUDGE WOOD MAKES DOUBTFUL
ANY CONVICTION OF PETT1BoNE FOR COMPLETELY IN THE
sTEUNENBERG MURDER-oRDER FOR HIS ACoUITTAL IS
PROBABLE AT KECoNvENING OF COURT THURSDAY

BOISE, Dec. 25.-Before hearing
arguments on the motion for an in
structed verdict of ecquittal filed by
the defense in the Pettibone trial
yesterday, Judge Wood announced
his conclusions on the question of
corroborative evidence and stated
that there had noti been sufficient
corroboration of Orchards testimony
on the killing of Governor Steunen-
berg alone to warrant conviction.
He also said that corroboration was
necessary to establish a conspiracy,
and invited argument as to whether
or not such corroboration had been
given by the state and whether or
not the defendant had been connect
ed with the conspiracy. The conclu-
sion of the court means that either
the jury will be instructed to acquit
the defendant or that the trial will
proceed on the proposition that the
state is not required to connect Pet
tibone with the Steunenberg mur-
der it being only necessary to show
that conspiracy to murder existed;
that the defendant on trial was a
member of that conspiracy and that
the killing of Steunenberg was an
incident thereto.
In the Haywood trial Judge Wood
held that it was necessary for the
state to produce evidence tending to
connect the defendant with with the
specific crime charged, independent
of the testimony of Orchard. His an
nouncement today means that he
will either reverse that ruling or
sustain the motion of the defense to
direct an acquittal A ruling on the
motion will be delivered Thursday.
Judge Wood directed the defense to
be ready to proceed with its case at
that time in the event the motion
was not sustained.
Evidence of corroboration as to
the killing of Steunenberg as a sep
arate transaction is not sufficient to
warrant conviction; conspiracy to
number of crimes which
includes as an incident, or other
wise, the killing involved, cannot
be established by the uncorroborat-
ed evidence of an accomplice. Is
there, in this case, any evidence of
to commit crime, as re-
suit Of which conspiracy the crime
charged was committed, and IL so,
is trere sufficient corroborative evil
dence to convict the defendant
thereon?
Attorney Nugent argued the mo-
tion to advise verdict of acquittal
only briefly and then took up the
Idaho statute providing for the pros
ecution of nonresidents charged with
crime, under which Pettibone is be-
ing triad, arguing that it was un-

CLUB PLANNED
FOR YOUNG MEN
GOOD WORK is BEING DOME BY
Mr.. M. M. BEACH IN PLAN OF
PROVIDING FOR RECREATION
ROOMS FOR YOUNG MEN

With the walls posted with "ordf-
nances' pertinent to good govern
ment and the molding of good char
acter, M. NJ. Beach has opened q.
clubroom in the Adams block To-
which he is admitting the boys OF
the city and which is calculated to
work a good influence over all of it's
members.
The club membership now num-
bers about rs, and out of this num-
Der fully 20 are under the age OK
21 and many have not yet attained
their 18th year.
The rooms were filled yesterday
afternoon with boys and men who
have signed the constitution of tho
club and who will labor for the bet-
terment of all. The boys enjoy the
full privilege of the club, but fIn6
their greatest enjoyment about the

are equipped with two tables OF each
kind, which affords ample opportunf-
ty for all members to find recrea-
tion in the pastime games

dealing with the conduct to be OBJ
served in the rooms and the manner
in which the games are to be con-
Quoted.
The idea of private club was
conceived by Mr. Beach at the time
the Commercial club abandoned the
idea of admitting young boys to Its
membership for social purposes. Mr..
Beach purchased the club equipment
of the Commercial organization ana
opened the rooms in the Adams
block formerly occupied by khe Com
mercial club.
The first effort was to secure a
membership from the business men
and citizens who enjoy a quiet place
of recreation, where '1adies are al
ways precent." The memberships
was then thrown open to the boys.
and all of the older members are In
terested and hearty supporters on
the splendid work undertaken by
Mr.. Beach.
Yesterday afternoon while the
Christmas throng filled the streets.
the cozy club quarters were the mec-
ca for more than a dozen boys rang
ing in ages from 10 to 1S, and their
enjoyment of the games IN which
they were engaged was most refresh-
ing. 4
Boys OF tender years are not adj
mitted without the consent of pa
rents, and the privileges OF the club
are enjoyed for the nominal fee OF
81 per month.
The rooms are also supplied with
newspapers and splendid assort-
ment Of magazines, and this feature
will be materially enlarged as soon
as the selection of other periodicals
is made.
