POLICE SEARCH
FOR ]. A. KEMP
GROWS HARDER
Country viii Be Flooded
With 5000 Photo.
Cards.

Deter7lined that J. Arthur Kemp, the
alleged defaulting chief clerk of the Po-
lice Department, shall be captured, and
al the methods usually employed in de-
yecting criminals having failed to bring
TO light the slightest clue 70 his present
whereabouts. Maj Richard Sylvester.
Superintendent of Police. has ordered
yhe most thorough search in the his
tory Of the department, and no stone
will be left unturned In the endeavor TO
apprehend the missing police official.
Circular Plan Failed.
Shortly after Kemps disappearance.
more than 5000 circulars with a photo
graph and description of the former
clerk were sent broadcast over the
country. The circulars failed to bring
results. At present. five clerks are en-
gagged in addressing envelopes. and with
in the next thirty days the country will
be flooded with more than 1900 cards.
They will be sent to every postonice in
the United States, with the request that
they be posted in a conspicuous place,
and announcing 800 for Kemp's capture.
Whereabouts Still Mystery.
Despite the fact that Kemp frequently
spoke Of going West to live. police
officials are Of the opinion that he is
in the East or some foreign country.
Ever since his disappearance Central
office men have been in Baltimore.
Philadelphia, and New York running
down every clue obtainable Nothing
tangible was learned, however. and to-
day Kemp's whereabouts are as much OF
a mystery as the day he walked out Of
headquarters.
With the entire country flooded with
cards, the police say. It will be impos-
sible fc= Kemp 20 remain in the United
States undetected. Every cross roads
postoffice will be furnished with a
photograph OF the missing clerk.
That the police are still inclined to
the theory that Kemp is in the East or
has sailed on some steamer from New
York is indicated by the fact that Cen
tral Office Detective McNamee went to
the metropolis yesterday. where he will
probably remain several days. II is
understood that a canvass VIII be made
of all steamship wharves to learn il a
man answering Kemp's description en-
gagged passage out Of New York.

TRADED In BLOOD,
LAWYER CHARGES
Miners Leaders Bitterly Arraignsd
in Haywood Trial
GIANT CONSPIRACY CHARGED

Boise, Idaho, June 5.-Through
James H. Hawley, the state of Idaho
made the opening statement against
William D. Haywood, whom it charges
with the murder OfFrank Steunenberg.
Testimony by which it hopes to prove
the indictment laid against him was
then begun.
The opening statement was a sweep
ing arraignment Of the leaders of the
Federation of Miners, who wer8 charg
ed with plotting wholesale murder and
hiring assassins, all in a giant con
spiraoy of vengeance upon those who
obstructed their sway, to destroy op-
position by terrorism; to control the
political destiny of the communities
covered by their organization, and to
perpetuate their own power within the
organization.
It charged a widespread conspiracy
dating in inception from the North
Idaho disturbance, IS years ago. down
to the murder of Frank Steunenberg,
and whose murdered victims. by bull.
let and bomb, numbered scores. Haw- |
ley declared that wherever in the min.
ing sections the federation had been !
in control there had been left a trail |
of blood to mark its operations. OF ]
the hired assassins he cried: ITO them
murder became trade and assassin.
alton a means of living
As to the general conspiracy, Mr.
Hawley said: Il have said. gentlemen
it has been part of their object and
policy to control the politics of the
various sections where they have
lived. This conspiracy caused the
death and was the real cause of the
death of Governor Steunenberg. We {
will show that a scale of wages was
even devised fixing the amount to be
paid for different crimes to parties
who committed those crimes, and chief
among those who were doing the act
Ial work that was planned by the in
Ter circle and paid for by the mem
,ers of the inner circle was Harry
Orchard and one Stephen Adams. "
Mr.. Hawley spoke for nearly an hour /
md a half to a court room crowded but y
ilent, to a jury which, sitting bolt Ia
Ipright, listened for every word; to a
risoner who, with his family around NJ
i'm, was several times moved to deep
motion. Counsel for the defense open
d fire before the statement had pro-
eeded 10 minutes, and the repetition
Z objections from them led to three

ton was guilty of scores of muir
ers."
