NouNcED BY ATTORNEY
BARROW.

Boise. Idaho. May s. - Judge Ere
mont Wood will on Wednesday next
decide if on the eve of his trial for the
murder of Former Governor Frank
Steunenberg William Haywood is en-
titled to receive at the hands OF the

the overt acts charged against him.
The motion of the defense for this dis
closure of the case of the state was
argued at length yesterday, and at the
conclusion of the discussion the court
announced that it would make a deci-
sion at the time stated.
Shows Deep Feeling.
The prisoner was brought into
court for the argument, and of his
counsel both Frank Richardson OF
Denver and Clarence Darrow OF Chi
cago pleaded in his behalf. Senator
Borah alone spoke in behalf Of the
state The discussion, always earnest,
was characterized at times by deep
feeling and dramatic intensity.
Mr.. Richardson, who opened the ar
gument, contended that the ind1ct-
ment was lacking in particularly;
that it left the defendants in the dark
as to the nature of the case to be pre-
sented against them, and the defend
ants were entitled to a more specific
showing of the case.
Mr.. Borah is reply declared that the
defense was seeking a disclosure OF
the proof in the hands of the state
rather than more perfect pleadings.
Attack Prosecution.
Mr.. barrow. who closed the argu-
ment. began by saying that it was the
purpose of the defense to secure a
disclosure of the evidence in the
hands of the prosecution and asked
why the defense was not entitled to
such a showing He made a spirited
attack upon the attitude of the prose
cution, toward it's witnesses and evil
1ence, describing it as mysterious, I'M
fair and unjust He asserted that the
only question involved was one of
fairness and justice to the accused.

CROP DAMAGE NOT so GREAT.

Are Greatly Exaggerated.
Chicago, May 8. = The reports of
damage to the crops, which have been
so numerous of late, owing to the UNI
seasonable weather and the ravages
Of bugs, have geen greatly exagger-
ated, according to James Wilson, sec
.etary of agriculture, who was in Chi
:ago last night.
When asked for his opinion on the
coming crop of grain Mr. Wilson said:
Spring seeding is little back
ward on account Of the cold, but there
S plenty of time between now and the
last of September to grow crop of
Ill kinds of grain. In the States OF
Minnesota and the Dakotas, where we
get much of our spring wheat, seeding
1as been delayed about two weeks,
,ut with few days of warm sunshine
planting will be in full progress.
While the weather has been unseason-
IDLY cold in some districts, still it has
aot been severe enough to retard
blowing, and gTy advices are that the
ground in those states has been nearly
Ill made ready to receive the seed.
We will have warm weather in a few
lays now, and | don't see what is to
prevent a normal crop of spring wheat
n these states.
Taken as whole, l see no cause
.or complaint, and [ think it will be
found when threshing time comes
around that all this cry of crop dam
lge has been made for a purpose"

Bricks and Stones Are Hurled.
Twenty seven policemen, five mount
ed officers and several sergeants, I'M
der the command of Capt Mooney,
were on patrol guard The appear
ance of the cars was the signal for an
immense outburst of jeers and hoWls
from the crowd of about 5000 men
and boys Before the cars had gone a
block they were made the targets of
stones and bricks. A guard on the
rear platform answered the flying
stones with a pistol shot. The bullet
struck one of the union sympathizers
in the arm.
Fierce Fighting.
This transformed the crowd into
wild mob and thence forward for
twelve blocks there was fierce fight
ing. The strikers and their friends,
aided by hundreds of youthful hood
lums, kept up running shower OF
missiles. The guards on board the
cars responded with fusillade after fu-
sillade of pistol shots.
Eight men received bullet wounds,
some of which will prove fatal.
Many Were Shot.
Finally a dozen or more of the
guards were arrested by the reserves
from the central police station and
union crowd boarded the rearmost car
and started it back to the barns. Ar
irving there the strikers charged that
revolver fire was opened upon them
from the barns. In this encounter
several more men were shot.

is INTENDED TO MEET The DE-

PASSES IFS FIRST READING
CohFERS LITTLE SELF.GOVERN-
MENT UPON IRELAND-iRIsh
DISAPPOINTED

London, May S 49, The government
yesterday presented It's lous.awaited
Irish bill to the house Of cunlm0ns and
the country. This bin is designed to
meet the demands for Irish home rule.
1t was presented by the chief secre-
tary for Ireland Mr.. Brrell, TO a
crowed house
Compared with the home rule bills
Of 1886 and 1906 this measure confers
little self-government upon ireland,
merely giving to the council control
of the eight departments now man
aged by government boards
The council is to be appointed by
the crown, and while the lord lieute.
nant of Ireland is given power to null
lily its measures, The crown retains
control of five of the eight depart
ments. including the conStabulary
The control Of this branch always has
been thorn in the flesh of the Irish
people. a.
1t is natural aud quite to be expect
ed that this half way measure is who'll
~ pleasing to no political party. The
iChlOHlSlS tSSdIu IL as Step toward
home rule The Radicals are disap-
pointed that tue measure fails so short
of actual home rule and the Irish
members are even more disappointed
with it.
Irish Are Diplomatic.
The Irish leaders, however, are
maintaining diplomatic attitude UNI
til they have time to study the provi-
sions Of the bill and learn the senti-
nent Of the people.
Nationalist convention will be
held in Dublin soon to decide upon the
policy Of the Irish party The labor
ties will support the measure because
they are all home rulers.
TO prevent the first reading Of the
bill being deferred until to-day, and
while Walter Hume Long was stin
speaking, Mr.. Birrell moved the clio
sure. Then amid great uproar and
protests and shouts of gag" the clio
sure was carried by Az votes to 121,
and the bill passed it's first reading by
416 votes to 121.
The house then adjourned.
