WOULD DOUBT HIS STORY
Prejudice Against Orchard Ad-
mitted by TaIesmen.

Boise, Ida, May 16-The examina.
ton of talesmen in the formation of
the jury to try William D. Haywood
for the alleged murder Of Frank Steu-
nenberg developed the existence of
prejudice against Harry Orchard and
the testimony that he is expected to
give against the prisoner. Under ex-
animation by the defense Samuel Win
gate, a member of the original panel
and a talesman passed by the state,
frankly said that he was prejudiced
against the unoffered testimony of
Harry Orchard. Mr.. Richardson
sought to retain the talesman in the
box, but Senator Borah, for the state,
drew from Wingate the positive state
ment that he would absolutely refuse
to accept Orchards story Judge
Wood sustained tha- states challenge
s1nu the defense took an exception.
Half an hour later A. P. Burns, who
was temporarily passed by both sides
as the eleventh talesman, said that he,
too, would be unable to give to the
testimony of Harry Orchard the same
credence that he would give to the
testimony Of other witnesses. The
indication of this feeling led the state
to cover the point in the subsequent
examination of all talesmen.

FREIGHT STILL PILING UP
End of Longshoremen's Strike Seems
Far Distant.

Co.,. FaF distant.
New York, May 16.-Both the repre-
sentatives of the transatlantic steam
ship companies and the striking long
shoremen maintain firm position in
their respective stands, so that the
great dock strike seems no nearer a
settlement than it did a week ago.
The steamship men declare they are
moving ships and such freight as must
be speedily handled with the aid of
the nonunion men they have secured
and that the longshoremen will soon
tire of the strike and return to work.
The strikers, on the other hand, say
there is no wavering in their ranks,
that the men are more determined
than ever and that they will not re-
turn to work until they secure the in
crease in wages they have demanded.
All attempts at arbitration have so
far proved unavailing. Marcus M.
Marks, who has been trying to per-
suade the steamship companies to
agree to the appointment of concilia-
ton committee, says that nothing can
be done at present. Other mediators
who have conferred with both sides
talk in the same vein.
The strikers claim they have Sc
cured an important victory in Jarsey
City TIL -Iteslian- limo, (which doolzn
there, they declare, has taken back
$50 men at the advanced wages de-
manded in order to discharge two
large ships loaded with perishable
fruit The leaders claim that this is
an indication that the companies are
weakening and that they are jubilant
over the development.
