ADAMS, ATTORNEYS SCORED.
Prosecution Declares 1t Is Better
Friend Of Murder Suspect Than His

CounSel.
wallace Idaho, March Estates
Attorney James H. Hawley, In his ar
gument to the jury yesterday in the
Steve AdIams case, charged that the
LAWYERS for the defense did not give
a. iackstraw' for their client or what
happened to him. He declared the real
reason for Adams attorneys being In
the case was their desire to get evil
dence for Meyer, Haywood and Petti-
bone.
Counsel for the state are better
friends to Steve Adams than are the
attorneys for the defense" said At
torney Hawley.
"The state does not wish to see an
innocent man hanged" he continued,
"but we believe Adams is guilty of the
murder of Fred Tyler. We are trying
this case upon it's merits and not for
the purpose of convicbing the officers
of the Western Federation of Miners
of another crime The defense talks
nonsense when it states that the pros
ecution is not being carried on in good
faith.
governor Gooding's visit to Steve
Adams at the penitentiary was made
in good faith and not for the purpose
of injuring the prisoners chances.
There was nothing about the confess
sion that was Illegal and no pressure
was brought to bear upon him to make
him give that confession"

READING TAKES JUMP
Unverified Rumor That Hartman Had
Gained Control Of Reading and New

Steady Advance in Price.

New York, March 6-An unverified
report that heavy holdings of Reading

passed under the Hartman control
which gained wide circulation today
resulted in a sharp upward turn in
Reading this afternoon. According to
the report, big block of stock which
changed hands, represented the II. G.

les. The story could not be verified
but despite this, quotations of Read
ing marked steadily upward as the ru-
NOR spread reaching 125, a clear g;lin
of nearly II points from the low point
of the day. Nearly all stocks followed
Reading toward the top. Later, Read
ing declined to 122.
At the office of banking firm which
has frequently participated in Harri-
mans operations, it was said that
nothing was known there of Reading
purchases for Hartman. and that it is
was not believed that he was respon-
sible for the rise in stock

CLEAR LAKE CONTEST
Real Political Fight Over Seats in the
Council chamber-Between the
Friends of the Light and Power
Company and Those Opposed to
Same.

Special to Republican.
Clear Lake, March 6.-Clear Lake is
now in the midst of a real political
contest over seats in the council cham
ber of the city and If the interest de-
velops in the coming days before cleo
ton as it has the past week, it will
border in intensity the famous mayor
atty contest of year ago. The fight
Is now on between the friends of the
opposed to that company. The present
council is not friendly to the light peo-
pie and as consequence have annoyed
the company great deal in requiring
certain fulfillments OF contract which
are very inconvenient for the company
to fill and has also brought about a
rather unsavory position for the COM
pany relative to the water supply pro-
position. There is a suit now pend
ing against the company brought by
the council for damages in spelling the
water supply of the city thru leak In
the watts in the gas plant.
What the light people want to do is
to fill the council with their friends to
the end that they may renew their con-
tract for supplying the city with wa
ter and nonsuiting, in reality the case
pending against them for damages.
There is q strong demand among the
people however, to favor the, present
council because of the attitude of the
power plant and the attempt of the
council to protect the city and the peo-
pie. There are three vacancies in the
council, Councilman Hill, Allen and
Rodgers going out.
