EUROPE LOOKS FOR CONFLICT

LOOK FOR WAR.

Washington, July 10. - President
Roosevelt must officially,
authoritatively and positively that the
battleships of the Atlantic feet will
not be sent to the Pacific coast before
the officers of the navy will cease to
discuss the subject Of war between
the United States and Japan.
This talk goes on merrily and, not
w~lthstanding declarations by Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the mission of the
f1eet is a peaceable one, officers of the
navy can see nothing but war growing
out OF the incident and they persist
emily demand comparisons between
the strength of the navies of Japan
and the United States. They predict
freely that in the event of hostilities
Japan will not have such an easy task
as it performed when it drove Russia
from the sea.
War Is Predicted.
President ROosevelt's decision to
send the battleships to the Pacific has
caust3 worldwide discussion. and it
appears to be thc unanimous opinion
in Europe and the United States that
war with Japan will eventually result

should convince Japan that it is pre-

be a strong assurance of peace. This
view is not entertained by naval Of

Japan Prepares for Conflict.
The fact can no longer be concealed
that the administration has been re-

death of Ste,menberg as well, were all
incidents of such d conspiracy. but you
must not forget the defendant Is be-

are, privileged to take such other ma. :
ters into consideration, as part evil
dence in the case. and as incidents ana

ut makes no difference, however

Judge Defines Conspiracy.
The Judge then defined conspiracy
within the meaning of the criminal
law. and said; 1T is not essential to
the formation Of a conspiracy. that
there should be a formal agreement be-
tween the parties to do the act charged.
II Is Su1I1CleHI, IL tIe llitiluS VI lily

bring about an intelligent and deliber-
ate agreement to do such acts. and
commit the crimes charged, altho such
an agreement be not manifested by any
formal words"
Present at Killing immaterial.
IF the prosecution has failed to
prove these facts beyond reasonable
doubt. you should find the defendant
not guilty. IF, however, you believe
in the case from the evidence beyond
reasonable doubt that the defendant
Haywood aided. abetted, advised and
encouraged the killing of Steunenberg,
then the defendant is guilty, and it
would be immaterial. whether he actu-
ally was present at the time of the
killing or not"
The jury was directed to disregard
Harry Orchards testimony, unless it
was corroborated by other evidence.
Under the law Of Idaho person cannot
be convicted upon the testimony of an
accomplice. unless such testimony is
corroborated by the evidence Of diff
ferent character to the same point. The
judge said: "Under the indictment of
Haywood. IL the evidence warrants it,
he can be convicted of murder in the
first degree. murder in the second de-
gree, or manslaughter."

She Had on. the Frame.

While Pittsburg man stood awk-
wardly on the sidewalk smoking in
front of a conceit shop this afternoon
mis- wife, while absentmindedly fussing
with hats in the store, created a gale
of merriment, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. She had been trying on un-
trimmed hats and those wire frames
which the shops sell to women who can
do their own millinery work. When she
was about to leave the store and join
her husband she bore aloft on her head
a complicated frame of white wire and
in her hand grasped unconsciously her
own hat, which she had removed in
order to try on others. One Of the
saleswomen considerably rescued her
before she reached the street. For
tunately the shopper had a sense of
humor and was able to join serenely
in the general mirth. After leaving
the milliner's she invited her husband
to another store. Never again. said
he. 81 might be arrested as an accom-
plice."
