PLATT Has LIVED HIS LIFE
Wants to Settle Down Now and Wait
Made Roosevelt Governor-Not
q "RooseyeIt Man.

New York, May 10. = The World
says this morning: Senator Thomas
c. Platr said yesterday: I have no
idea whatever of being a candidate to
succeed myself. l shall serve out my
term. Then I shall wait for the call
TO the other side. l have lived my
life, and | have done what seemed to
me to be the right thing to do. But
realize there is not much left now for
me to do | would like to settle down
and see the world go round
"A World reporter found Mr. Plat
in the front room of a fiat at the
Elmendorf. to which he has moved re-
Gently from the Hotel Gotham. Asked
how he felt toward President Roose-
welt the senator said: Just as l al
ways did. l was in a position TO make
him governor in 1898. Black had alien
ated a large and important section of
tho Republican voters, and 1t was
necessary to pick out a man who could
win. Mr. Roosevelt, coming back from
the war in Cuba, was the man. l Sc
lectcd him and he was nominated. 1t
was purely politics. l never was
Roosevelt man. as the saying goes.''

QUESTIONING THE TALESMEN
Line of heterogeneous of the Defense
Includes RooseveIt's Utterances.

The questioning Of the defense took
a much wider range than that of the
state, and its most striking feature
dealt with the possible effect upon the
minds and attitude of jurors of the
letter of President Roosevelt in call
ing Haywood and his associates ''un-
desirable citizens" the speeches in
Idaho of Secretary Taft, the message
of Governor Gooding to the legislature
of Idaho, the speech in Boise of Sena-
tor Hepburn, and the action of the
Idaho legislature in passing a resolu-
ton appropriatingmoney for the prose-
cution of the three prisoners.
Richardson, who conducted the ex-
animation of the talesmen for the de-
Tense, was particular to ascertain their
attitude toward socialists and men,
bers of labor organizations, and
whether they could give them a fair
trial. A remarkable feature of this
examination was that all of the tales
men questioned by the defense sworc
that they had not been influenced by
the letter Of President Roosevelt or
the speeches Of other officials of the
national or state governments, and q
majority of them said they were Re-
publicans.
The chief concern of the counsel for
the state in the examination of tales
men. as indicated by the questions,
was their attitude toward circumstan-
tial evidence, the absence of the ac.
cused from the state when the crime
was committed and the effect of the
manner in which the prisoner and his
companions were brought from Colo
RADIO, view of the talcsmen as to the
death penalty for murder in the first
degree, and union labor. Their exam
/ ination brought out the fact that GER
tain labor and socialistic papers arc
| being distributed free of charge in
/ parts of Ada county.
! The custom of the Idaho courts in
selecting juries for criminal cases is
/ TO call twelve talesmen 10 the jury box
and TO keep the box full by immedi-
/ ately filling any vacancies that occur
| The state first conducts a complete
examination that continues until
/ twelve men. when the body Of tales
men passes 10 the defense for
/ examination. The state passed
/ twelve. and these eleven men re-
NAMED In the box at the close of the
session; only three have been passed
i by both sides. They have not been
finally accepted and sworn, and are
! still subject TO peremptory challenge

NEW YoRK's DOCK TROUBLES
Vessels Sail Light and Strikers Or
ganize for a Long Fight.

New York, May 1O.-While the man.
ayers of the transatlantic steamships
and of some of the coastwise lines are
sending their vessels away light the
striking 'longshoremen devote their en-
ergies chiefly TO organization. The
strikers gained a victory when the Sa-
vannah line compromised with its 600
employees.
The vessels that have TO sail get
away as best they can. sometimes the
passengers helping by getting their own
baggage aboard. 1t is almost as much
as a mans life is worth to take the
vacant jobs, as the moment he is
caught where he is helpless he Is
pounced on by the pickets and ham,
mered to Inconsistencies. Officials OF
the more important lines reiterated
their decision not to yield the wage in
crease demanded.

London, May 10.-Sir Hugh Bell,
presiding at the meeting Of the Iron

transmitted to the vessel wirelessly.
Such a forecast, the speaker de-
clared, was no more incredible than
the developments Of the past century.

That Is the First Phase of the
Trial of Haywood at
Boise, Ida.
FIRST PANEL IS EXHAUSTED
President ROosevelt's Undesirable Cit
liens a Feature of the Ex-
animation.
Most of the Questioned Were Repub-
Iicans. but Said the Words
Had No Influence with
Them.

Boise, Ida, May 10-William d.
Haywood, first of the alleged partici-
pants in the avenging conspiracy by
which it is averred the assassination
Of Ex-Governor Steunenberg was
plotted and executed, has been placed
upon trial for his life. Counsel for
state and prisoner entered at once in
business-like way upon the examina,
ton of prospective jurors, and kept
steadily at the task for five hours.
No juror was finally accepted, but sub.
stantial progress was made and the in
dications at the close of the session
were that a jury could be obtained
by the end of next week. The open
ing day Of the trial went through to
its conclusion in quiet harmony un-
marked by unusual incident.
Jury Panel Is Exhausted.
It's striking feature was the entire
absence Of crowds or demonstration in
any form. At no time, morning or aft
ernoon, was the court room more than
half filled, and the streets forming the
court house square contained not a
single loiterer. The case was halted
shortly before p. IN. by the exhaus-
ton of the jury panel, and adjourn
ment was taken until Monday morn
ing. Meantime the sheriff will sum-
mon a special venire of 100 men. The
eleven men under examination, but not
yet finally accepted or rejected were
locked up and will be closely guarded.
Haywood Seems Indifferent.
Haywood was brought to the court
room at 10 a. m. sharp. He found his
family in line of chairs to the right
of his seat, and in front We're all Of
his counsel. He paid more attention
to his youngest daughter than to any
one else, and throughout the day took
practically no part in the selection Of
jurors. Many men in similar jeopardy,
as rule, make close study of their
prospective jurors, and frequently ex-
press their personal preference, but
Haywood seems content to leave the
matter entirely in the hands of his
lawyers. Haywood gave no sign OF
any feeling or emotion, but sat quietly
throughout the day. Mrs. Haywood
and the elder daughter stood the or
deal apparently well, but the younger
child cried after the examination OF
talesmen began. Mrs. Haywood and
her children did not attend the aft
ernoon session.

Every Man Wore a Flower.

On the return trip, on Sacramento
street, near Preside avenue, young
girl ran out from a florists shop and
tossed a handful of bright red, long
stemmed carnations to the platform Of
one of the cars. Lifting their caps
and smiling several of the men leaned
far out and caught the flowers. The
cars were halted then, while young
women brought clusters Of carnations
and roses from the shop and offered
them to the men. Soon every non-un-

He informs the ladies of the club that he will ar range to have the train leave Pine Bluff at 2:3O or o'clock in the af- ternoon, arriving in Hot Springs in time for 6 o'clock dinner; return ing from Hot Springs after the so- cial function and arriving here three hours later. Mir. Thomas will also provide a special baggage car for his guests that they may be en- abled to take their evening dresses and full dress suits with them.
 The courtesy of the special train is given the Silk Stocking club gratis and is a most liberal and flat tering offer. Mr. Thomas is one of the most poular of Hot Springs so- ciety boys and has frequently been the guest of Pine Bluff society folk at social affairs. His appreciation of their hospitality is fully demon strated in his liberal offer. The members of the Silk Stocking club will meet and wln in all probability accept the invitation of MT. Thom-

Appropriations from other sources, notably one from the Pea body Education Fund of one million dollars, which has been made but
 depended upon the appropriation
 just passed by the State of Tennes- see, make the total already given more than a million, seven hundred thousand dollars which will come to the college this year. Assurances of other donations had been given, to be made as soon as the college is permanently and adequately en- dowed, which is now practically ac- complished. The college will have handsome buildings, new depart ments, additional professors and promises to be one of the greatest teachers colleges in the country

Give Those of Your Town Chance
 to Think It Over.
 There is lesson for every mer- chant in the experience told by representative of a Chicago mail or der house to gathering of news paper men. up in Iowa. He said that the mail order business de- pended entirely upon advertising. He made one remark that mer- chants should heed. He says they take the local papers and directed their special efforts to communities where the merchants were not up-' to-date advertisers. If the mail or. der man finds that any line of busi-. ness in any town or city is not we'll advertised, as for instance, furni ture, he said that they flood that territory with their literature and always with satisfactory results. He believed it true. He said that, country merchants could greatly cripple the mali order houses if they would advertise freely and in the right manner, He said that ey- cry advertisementA should describe the articles to be sold and state the prices. Here is food for thought by merchants who fear the effort of mail order houses.-Topeka Jour- nal

1000 Visitors Expected.

The last national convention of the National Farmers Union met in At lanta, Ga, and the city was filled to
 overflowing with delegates. There were about 1000 persons present from the states comprised in the organiZa ton. At the time the executive board
 met in Little Rock, about two months ago it was stated that before the year 1907 expired the union expected
 Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas and other states to join the organization.
 If all of these states join the organi-
 zation before the first of september, it is possible and probable that more
 delegates will be in Little Rock than
 attended the convention at Atlanta.
 The Auditorium On Markham street, which is obtainable for such gather ings, will in all probability be the scene of the gathering. As far as l hotel accommodations are concerned, | it is probable that Little Rock is as | we'll prepared to take care of large gathering as any city of it's size in | the entire south. The number of del-
 egates attending from Arkansas alone
 will probably be large, as almost all the counties in the state are solidly
 organized, especially in the counties in the cotton belt.

The general opin- ion over the city is that an agree ment mas been made by the two companies to sell ice at the same increased prices.
