Boise, Ida. July 1.-THE state Of
idaho rests content with the evidence
1t has introduced TO prove that William
D. Haywood, the secretary treasurer Of
the Western Federation of Miners, con-
spired to kill and therefore murdered
Frank Steunenberg, a former governor
of the state. Tomorrow morning Hay
wood, through his counsel, VIII rest his
case with the jury so far as evidence
is concerned. Possibly some witnesses
will be called in surrebuttal, but Hay
woods counsel announce that the case
may close without further evidence
Judge Fremont Wood has invited ar
gument on his own proposition to
eliminate certain evidence from consid-
Grafton by the jury and probably day
will be taken TO present the views or
both sides as to the instructions to the
Jury. On Friday morning argument is
expected and the last stage of the trial
viii have commenced.
Willing to Hear Argument.
After having dismissed the jury this
afternoon, Judge Wood stated his opin-
ION that the evidence introduced by the
defense to prove a conspiracy on the
part of the mine owners, by showing
The deportation of union miners from
the Cripple Creek district of Colorado,
during the strikes of 1908 and 1904,
was not material to the issue involved
and should not be submitted to the
jury. On the other hand, he said, the
showing by the state that Steve Ad-
ans was concerned in the killing Of
two men in the Occur d'Alene district
did not appear to the court to be ger
main and should be eliminated. He
announced, however, that the court
would hear argument tomorrow ON
these points. Further, the court asked
that requests for instructions be sub
mitted at once and arguments on these
instructions may be expected tomOr-
row.
Judge Wood has already stated that
by putting counsel on notice or the
main points on which he would instruct
the Jury, he hopes to considerably
shorten the arguments.
Court Getting Tired.
Another announcement by the court
today is q determination TO conclude
the case within the next few days.
Judge Wood said he would hold three
tWo-hour sessions daily during the ar
guments. Z. F. Richardson protested
against this, but he met with no en-
enlargement.
J. H. Hawley will open the argument
for the state and r. T. Richardson for
the defense. Clarence barrow VIII
close in behalf of Haywood, and the
final argument Will come from Senator
Borah
The last day of the states innings in
the Haywood trial opened with the
statement by Mr.. Richardson that he
desired the court to order d. G. Scott
William Dewey and J. 9. Rutan, wit
nesses who have testified in rebuttal
for the state, to remain within the
Jurisdiction of the court. This was af-
terward explained on the ground thai
counsel for the defense was consider
ing the advisability of issuing certain
warrants charging states witnesses
with perjury. Nothing was done dur
ing the day, however. and late tonight
Clarence barrow said 1t was doubtful
Ii any such steps would be taken.
The state called but two witnesses in
rebuttal today, Notwithstanding Mr.
Hawley's statement that eight or ter
witnesses remained. At the last mo-
ment the prosecution decided not tc

Clarence T. Shearn, counsel for Mr..
Hearst. raised the point that the court
had no authority TO issue an order to
stay the operation Of q law passed by
the legislature. After an argument the
court reserved decision.
The court, after consultation, denied
the motion TO make permanent the
temporary writ of prohibition, bur
granted a stay of further proceedings
until the court of appeals shall have
passed upon the cOnstitutionality Of the
recount law
The decision OF the appellate court
today precludes the possibility of a re-
count of the ballots in the last mayor
atty election until fall, as the court of
appeals will not be able to reach the
case until October.

SHEETS ONCE MORE Held
To THE DISTRICT COURT
Bell viii Probably Testify Against Him and,
Then Pleading Guilty, Get Light
Sentence.
Parent Said to Be Scheduled to Be Given Suspended Sem
tenCe Because He Has Consumption.

Chief of Police George a. Sheets has
been bound over to the district court once
more to answer the charge of criminal
conspiracy.
The record in the case has only just
reached District Attorney Fred LoofbOu-
row, although it shows that Nephi limp
son, justice of the peace of Forest Dale,
made the order holding the chief to trial
on June 10. The Forest Dale judiciary
evidently forgot to send the record in
the case to the district court until after
his attention was called to it through
certain personals and classified ads in
serted in The Herald on Monday
District Attorney LoOfboUrOw declined
to say yesterday just what course he
would pursue with reference to the case.
The complaint on which Sheets is now
held to the district court is identical with
the one which was declared void by the
district court. The purpose, however, was
to get the case in such shape that the
supreme court might pass on the legality
of the complaint and the information
which would follow the same language.
II is probable that the information on
the same charge will be filed as before
and the ruling of the district court in
the matter Will probably be the same as
formerly ard the case thrown out of
court.
New Charge Is Likely.
The prosecuting attorneys are not. how
ever, relying OF this charge against the
police chief. II seems not at all i'm
probable that an entirely new charge will
be filed in connection with the McWhir-
ter robbery. What this may be has not
yet been decided upon. it may be almost
anything from grand larceny or bribery to
malfeasance in Office. At any rate there
is little doubt but that the prosecution
will make every effort to bring Chief
Sheets before "A jury before the case is
finally dropped and the charge TO be
brought seems likely to be a felony.
' In the conviction of Jim Donaldson, the
prosecution has secured an opening wedge
that may be the means of bringing all
of the other eases growing out of the Nc
Whirter trial, before a jury. BY finding
Donaldson guilty the jury in that case
established the fact that larceny had
been committed in tie theft of the $4,000
from the McWhirter brothers. This will
reach beyond the Donaldson trial and
establish fact to be considered in the
other cases. Had Donaldson been acquit-
ted his trial nc doubt, would have end
ed the entire prosecution. Now. il is
learned from authoritative sources. an
especial effort will be made by the pros
ecutiOn to retrieve its mistakes of the
past and to get the case into the courts.
In this way the prosecution which thus
far has proven something of a Joke.
might accomplish the result of either
proving Chief Sheets innocent or guilty

Sell viii Probably Testify.

Bell Will Probably Testify.
The evidence against Chief Sheets is
said 10 be stronger now than at any stage
of the proceedings. The prosecuting Of
ficers viii neither deny nor confirm the
TumOT that Bell has confessed. but there
are many circumstances which indicate
tHat he will turn states evidence against
Sheets in return for a short sentence I'm

arrest for over two months, charged with
grand larceny. robbery and conspiracy.
yet he has never sought or been given a
preliminary hearing. He has been in con
sultatiOn on several occasions with Judge
Hilton Of Denver. attorney for Parent.
and special prosecutor in the Sheets case.
The case against Bell is regarded as
stronger than that against Donaldson. 1t
IS believed that he has signified his desire
to turn states evidence. His testimony
was unnecessary as against Donaldson
but would prove essential in cOrrObOrat-
ing that Of his pal. Parent, against

Record of the Case.

The record of the present case against
Chief Sheets shows that it was transfer
red on a change of venue motion on
June }. from Justice F. NJ Bishops court
to the jurisdiction of Nephi TimpSon, jus
tice of the Forest Dale precinct. On
June IS q motion was filed in Justice
Timpson's court by Attorney Christensen,
Thurman, WedgWood and Irvine, object
ing to the jurisdiction Of the court on
the ground that a complaint and infOrma
ton charging the same offense had been
quashed I'm the district court. that this
order was decisive and final and being
still in force acted as a bar for further
prosecution on this charge.
On the same date stipulations were filed
as agreed To by the attorneys for the de-
Tense and County Attorney Willard Han
son for the state, entering "a plea of not
guilty for Sheets and waving a prelimI-
nary hearing in the event that the jus
tice OyerTuled the motion of the defense.
On the same day that the motion was
filed IL was denied by Justice TimpsOa
and on the following day Sheets was or
dered bound over to the district court
and bail of $3.50 was set. This bail had

WHAT IS HUOrTDITY2
Question is Answered From stand
point of Weather Bureau.


During the numerous discussions Of
weather conditions these days the hui
mildly of the atmosphere is often re
marked upon. Humidity, from a
weather bureau standpoint, is ex-
planned as follows:
'FRelative humidity is a convenient
term used to express the amount of
moisture in the air as compared with
the amount the air would hold in sus-
pension if 1t were completely satu-
rated. That is to say. If the air is
completely saturated, the relative hui
Nudity is 100 per cent, but If It con-
tains only one-half of the amount of
suspension, its relative humidity is
only so per cent, and so on. Along
with this explanation should go the
additional information that the per-
centage of relative humidity does not
depend upon the actual amount of
moisture in the air. but on the tenn
perature of the air To illustrate,
when. at any time, the air is COM
.pletely saturated, an increase of tenn
perature Will increase its capacity for
holding moisture, and if none is add
ed the relative humidity is decreased.

dro. He says that signals were ex
changed between both vessels, but
there was hardly time enough to
slacken speed or make any prepare
ton to meet the Inevitable disaster.
Passengers say the collision occurred
at 1890 or Whereabouts, that 1t had
been misty and foggy. but at the
time Of the disaster the weather had
cleared somewhat and after the col
lision the steamer San Pedro could be
seen where she had drifted away a
ouarter of a mile. That some poor
navigation was made and that the
lives lost are on the head of some
one is generally conceded. It is said
the San Pedro was under a slow bell
and the Columbia, according to tes-
timony of passengers, was going at
full speed. 1t is said she was headed
west when the collision occurred and
one passenger stated the Columbia
crossed the bow O. the San Pedro.
