Mr.. Fisher maintained that he did
not say anything Of the kind, but that
he might have said if the accused
We're guilty Of things done in Colorado,
they should have been strung up.
James H. Hawley, leading counsel
for the state, questioned Allen at
length and brought from him the
statement that he was employed by
the defense to poll his precinct; that
he was paid $3.50 per day when he
worked and that he was under pay to-

challenge of Mr. Fisher and he re-

Nine Perenpory Challenges Still Remaining Causes Belief

George Powell and Lee scriyener were
the two men who passed muster today,
the first named for the vacancy made
by the ninth challenge, the last named
for the 10th challenge. They are
both farmers and Mr.. Scriyener was
formerly sheriff in Kansas.
Good humor has come to counsel
and they joked and played back and
forth all day, and the laughter of an
easily pleased crowd frequently sound
ed through the room. Only one was
the easy swing of the day broken The
defense returned to Juror Fisher and
questioned him as to conversation
with c. P. Allen, local socialist, in
October last Mr.. Fisher was at first
certain that he mad not talked with
Allen, but when Allen came forward,
the juror said he recognized him.
Allen was sworn and testified that
Fisher had said that he knew Of the
acts of the accused in Colorado and

Portland, Ore, May 2O-An Ore
gonian special from Moscow, Ida., says
Frank Leachman of Lewiston, made
the statement this afternoon, while be.
ing examined as to his fitness to serve
as juryman in the pending North
idaho land fraud case, that he had
been approached by Ed Wiggin of
Lewiston, while en- route to Moscow
from Lewiston, in obedience to SUBJ
poena, who sought, as Leachman sad
he had reason to believe, to lay plans
for an attempt to bribe him. Leach
mans statement was made just prior
to the swearing Of the jury which is
to try w. F. Ketenbacn, G. H. Kester,
president and cashier of the Lewiston
National bank, and William Dwyer OF
Charleston, Wash, for conspiracy 10

lands.
Judge Dietrich today decided that
he could not issue an order compelling
answers from C. w. Estes, detective
in the employ of the defense and ac-
cused of seeing jurors and wit
nesses, il the answers tended to In
criminate him or even form a link In
chain Of evidence which might later

procurator of the st. Petersburg po-
lice court of it's discoveries.
Having established the fact that
the society was formed with the in
tent to overthrow the existing regime
lin Russia by acts Of violence, the
procurator on April II instituted pro-
ceedings against the persons arrested,
who will be prosecuted without de-
lay.
1T has been established by the par
liamentary inquiry that many of those
arrested belong to the social revolu-
tionists and that their object was to
organize an attempt on the life of the
emperor and carry out terrorist at
tacks on Grand Wuke Nicholas Mich
olaievitch and the present council of
ministers. Members Of the society
We're seeking measures to enter the
palace where the emperor is, but their
attempts failed"
Later in the day Premier Stolypin
addressed the house for the second
time In answer to socialist interpret
lation regarding the action of the po-
lice Saturday in searching the lodg.
ings Of MI. Ozel, deputy from Riga,
when a meeting Of socialists was brok-
en- up and a number Of men and wo,
men were arrested.
The premier, speaking as head OF
the police department, said that the
government had been Informed that
meetings of the central revolutionary
organization had been held at the
house OF M. Ozel, and in accordance
with their duty arrested in all 81 per.
sons and seized a number of compro.
missing documents by which it was es.
tablished that M. Ozel's residence was
being used as center for meetings OF
members of the military league, which
was planning to attempt an uprising
During the debate which ensued
Count Bobrinsky, president of the
constitutional democrats, left the
house in retaliation for the absence o1
radicals at the time of the adoption OF
the resolution of sympathy with the
emperor at his escape from assassina
tion. Sometime after the resolution
of sympathy with the emperor had
been adopted, Deputy shirsky, a law
yer of Kuban, in behalf of the central
committee Of socialists announced
that his party had no connection with
the plot and insinuated that if it really
existed it was due to police provoca
tion.

Boise, Idaho, May 2O.-It seems in
evitable that the Stuenenberg murder
trial must be halted again tomorrow
to permit the gathering Of another
special yenire Of talesmen. When the
session Of today ended only II out of
20 peremptory challenges had been
used and but nine of the 100 venire-
men gathered week ago remained
uncalled. The remaining nine will
hardly furnish ground for a, days
work, so some time tomorrow, Judge
Wood will probably adjourn the trial
for at least full day and send Sheriff
Shad. Hodgin in quest of additional
talesmen.
The ninth challenge made last Sat
urday was open when the trial was
resumed this morning. The vacancy
created by the 11th challenge was
open when court adjourned this after
noon, and the difference between the
two sums up the little stride forward
of today. Joseph Chinn, of chair
eight, challenged by the defense, and
William McGuffin of chair six, chal-

Secretary Of State Addresses Students of

New Haven, Conn, May 20.-Secre-
tary of State Root delivered the third
OF the Dodge lectures on ''The Res
possibilities of citizenship" at Yale
tonight. He said:
"The man who engages in political
work with the primary idea Of get
ting office may succeed in getting
the office, but he is likely to lose the
good opinion of the community ia
which he lives, for the people Of self
governing communities possess an ul-
erring insight which deters the spirit
in which such a man works and class
ifies himself as a mere politician, in
the bad sense of the term and classes
him as the office seeker"

distinct stages of development. The
