 New York, is Detailed by
 Mir. Beach. A

Peckham and Moses Haas of New York will be brought to Wash ington for trial on the charge of be- ing parties to a conspiracy to divulge advance Information concerning the crop reports of the agricultural de- partment in 1903, was the subject of a sharp tilt today between counsel in connection with the trial of Edwin $. Holmes, Jr., former assistant statisti- can of that department on the charge of giving this infor nation.
 Attorney Morgan H. Beach, employed by the government special counsel was making the op.n.ng statement and, in outli ling the alleged agreement by which Holmes was to supply prema- ture infor nation through Peckham and Haas to the New York brokers, said that those two men would be brought here later for trial.
 T object" shouted Attorney Worth ington, rising frem Holmes siae. T object, the courts will not allow them to be brought here"
 And I object to that statement. p sharply responded Mir Beach.
 Neither statement is allowable" de- clared Judge Stafford. rapping for or- der. Tt makes no difference in the conduct of this case whether Peckham and Haas are to be tried there or not"
 MT. Beach then proceeded with his preliminary review which consisted in the detailing of supposed agreement of Holmes
 Not only with Peckham and Haas. but with Lewis c. Van Riper, of New York, whereby he is charged with having agreed to report on the crop estimates in advance of their issuance, with the understanding that he should share in any profits that might be realized in speculation. He said that Holmes had promised to supply in- formation relative to the wheat crop report as we'll as the cotton report, and declared that in one deal, based upon the knowledge supplied by Holmes. $176,000 had been realized.
 The defense objected to any attempt at argument by MT. Beach at this stage of the proceeding, and when, after speaking for about forty-five minute. he had concluded, Mir. Worthington, 1T behalf of his client, waived the righ to respond, thus permitting the i'm mediate introduction of witnesses.
 The first witness called was Jamel B. Bennett, appointment clerk. who testified to the appointment of MT Holmes to his position in the agricul tural department

Constitutional Election in Oklahoma

 Washington, June 4.-The announce ment made at Tulsa, I. T., by William H. Murray, president of the Oklahoma Constitutional Convention, that an el- ection to pass on the constitution would be held August next, despite the in- junction granted by Judge Pancoast will necessitate a material alteration of the plans of Secretary Taft for the summer.
 He had calculated to spend the time from July to August at Murray Bay Canada, going to IT 5a to speak to the electors about the middle of August. Of course there would be no use of making such speech after the election, so there must be some rear engagement of the dates if MT.

Firat Witness CaIIed.


 c. F. Wayne then was called as the first witness. MT Wayne formerly re- sided in Caldwell, the home of Gov ernor Steunenberg, and lived next door to the Governors place. Wayne said he was working on the Steunenberg place on the night of the explosion, De- cember 30, 1905 He described the ex- plosion and the finding of the Govern or's body.
 The defense did not desire to cross examine the witness and he was ex- cused to make way for Dr. J. W. Cue of Caldwell, who attended the dying man. He described in detail the in- juries wrought by the bomb.
 Dr. Cue was also excused without cross examination, and John c. Rice, an attorney of Caldwell, was called. He lived near Governor Steunenberg. Rice testified seeing Harry Orchard passing his home almost every day for month preceding the tragedy. He was either going toward or returning from the direction Of Governor Steunenberg's residence.
 Cross examined by Attorney Rich | ardson, of the defense, Rice said Or chard had made attempts to conceal himself. His attention was first di- rected to the man by his wife, who had noticed him for several days. M. N. s. Ellis,'a merchant of Cald- well, was the next witness. He saiu he was building a house near Cover nor Steunenberg's residence and saw Tom Hogan or Harry Orchard in the | vicinity on many occasions.
 On cross examination Ellis said that while he wondered what Orchard was doing, his curiosity had not been ex- cited to the act of making inquiries. A. Ballentine of Caldwell, was called | to the stand just as court took the l luncheon recess until p. m. Ballentine at the afternoon session merely testified to seeing Thomas Ho- | gan or Harry Orchard in and about | Caldwell prior to the tragedy. He was | not cross examined.

PROPOSITION
Is ACCEPTED

ly to the evil that already exists.
Mr.. Gillespie and Mr.. Titus,
the chief engineer, both spoke
briefly. They said they were
not committed absolutely to the
Flint avenue line, but that at
present that looks to be the
most feasible route. However
il a better could be selected,
they would be glad to do so.
They said, however, that their
switch yards would be located
outside the corporation limits,
and that all they would build
along Flint avenue would be
their main linean passing track.
Their road, therefore, would be
not as nearly as Objectionable as
the Frisco, which does all its
switching in the heart of the
town.
A committee consisting of L.
w. Marks and c. S. Avery was
to drive about the city
this morning with Messrs Giles
pie and Titus and examine all
possible avenues Of entrance, re-
porting its conclusion to the
board of directors.
On motion of Seymous Riddle
the club moved that the PROPOSE
tion of Mr.. Gillespie be accepted
and that the raising of the $50,
600 bonus be recommended to
the people of Vinita. The mo-
tion was unanimously carried.
AT the meeting of the board Of
directors this afternoon the ques-
ton will be considered still fur
ther, and plans for the raising of
the bonus viii be DISGUST. It is
probable that a holiday viii be
as was done for the
original McClelland bonus, and
that everybody in town win be
asked to get busy.

Booher would be well satisfied with
| that assignment. Mr.. DeArmond
answered to the effect that / could
have gained such an idea only By the
+ operation of my imagination, or by
| a deliberate wish to misunderstood.
suggested to him that the floor of
the house was no place for a quarrel
or scene and asked him to desist.
His answer was that he had never
had any such understanding with me
about Mr. Booher, as had declared,
and he added that my subsequent ae-
ton was the result either Of error or
untruthfulness. again suggested
that the house was no place to settle
I a personal difference OF opinion. He
reported that it was not a matter Of
opinion, but Of veracity, and said
that he did not believe I had merely
made mistake then struck him
and We exchanged blows. 1t is most
regrettable that the floor should be
selected for so unpleasant an affair :"
Mr. DeArmond remained in the
house for some little time after the
encounter, and then left the chamber,
but he subsequently, returned and
made a statement Of the circum-
stances leading up to the affair from
his point Of view According to Mr.
DeArmond's version the episode
arose over the question Of the cor
rectness of a conversation between
himself and Mr.. Williams about ten
days, ago regarding the committee as
signments Of some Missouri mem
bers, and particularly Of Mr. Booker
Mr. DeArmond said he had spoken
highly of Mr.. Booker and the other
members as being competent to sit
on any committee, but that he had
not specified to Mr. Williams any
special committee on which he would
like TO have Mr.. Booker or any other
member placed. This, Mr.. Dear
mond said. Mr.. Williams today de
MED, saying it was a matter of recol-
lection between them Upon Dear
mond's insisting that he had not
specified any committee or commit
tees to which he desired to have his
colleagues assigned, MIR Williams,
he said, brusquely repeated that It
was simply matter OF recollection
between the Two.
He said this. said Mr. Dear
mond, in such a way as to leave no
other inference than the one sug-
gested. and I told him believed him
TO be a liar. He thereupon struck
me, and I think I gave him as good.
The next thing some one caught my
arm and we were separated.
