Three POSSIBLE
JURORS FOUND
(Scripps News Association

BOISE, Idaho, May 1O.-When
court adjourned yesterday until
Monday, prospective jurors had
been passed by both sides, subject
to further challenge. They were
VIM Van Orsdale, Boise grocer; s.
d. Gilman, farmer; A. l.. Ewing,
carpenter.
Among the witnesses to be call
ed by the prosecution are Sherman
Bell, Governor Peabody and daugh-
ter, Cora; Charles Sweeney, OF
Spokane; Floyd Thompson, head OF
the Occur d'Alene operators; Steve
Adams, Julian Steunenberg, son OF
Governor Steunenberg, and scores
of others.
Both sides are busy today pre-
pairing for the resumption of the
examination of jurors. Contrary tc
previous expectation, the task OF
selecting jury appears to offer nc
extreme difficulties, and it is be
lieved few days more may suffice
to fill the box.
Both sides are going very care
fully into opinions of prospective
Jurors on the merits OF the miners
troubles and the labor question
generally.

Agree TO AGREE
IF AGREEABLE

The democratic councilmen held
a meeting yesterday afternoon and
agreed to harmonic with the re-
publicans in the appointment Of a
new chief of police, corporation
counsel and possibly the city clerk,
but to resist any attempt to change
the aspect of the board of public
works. There has been consider
able talk since election about a sue
cessor to Commissioner ONO. The
outcome of this attitude will be
watched with interest. ONO is a
republican, while William T. Roy
and J. T. O'Brien, the other COM
missioners, are democrats.
City Clerk Flemming expressed
confidence today in being able to
hold his job for at least a year
longer. 1t is doubted if the city
council will agree on any appoint
ment Herbert Moore, mayor-elect,
might make to succeed Flemming
A possibility as Flemming's sue
cessor is Fred Kellam, the deputy.
Flemming has held Kellam through
both republican and democratic adj
ministrations. Kellam is republi,
can.

1t took a shot from the revolver
Of Patrolman Daniels about 8
o'clock this morning on Division
st. to stop a large automobile in
charge of Irwin Ingram, 10 year
old chauffeur. The machine was
being driven with terrific speed and
the occupants were a noisy lot out
for a time Daniels commanded
the chauffeur to hold up, but in
stead of doing so he increased the
speed and passed the officer like a
fash. Daniels then pulled his gun
and fred at the machine. The bullet
did not strike it.
Ingram became frightened when
he heard the shot and let go the
steering gear. The machine
wobbled from side to side before
Ingram recovered enough to stop.
He was taken to the police station
and allowed to go on depositing a
$25 bond.
kid chauffeurs have been a
danger to the public and a nuisance
to the police of late on account of
their fast and reckless driving.
During the past few months there
have been several auto accidents
and in every instances they have
been with hired machines.

BETTER OUTLOOK
IN FRISCO
(Scripps News Associatinn.i

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-Al-
though the street car strike is as
far from settlement as ever, the
general labor situation is consider
ably clarified by the action of the
Building Trades council in adopt
ing resolution calling upon the
$500 men affiliated with that body
to assist in preserving order, and
denying that bricklayers, plumbers.
structural iron workers and car
penters are preparing to strike
June l.
The action of the linemen In de-
ferring vote on the matter of
striking in sympathy with tele-
phone operators also helped the
situation.
Local retail trade has fallen off
more than so per cent as IA result
Of the strikes. Reports from other
cities of the state indicates the
blow is being felt there. Shipments
into this city show deplorable fall
ing off in all lines except building
material. which Is being used as
rapidly as it arrives. The building
trades alone show no elimination
Of energy.

GARMENTS UNION
GROWING FINE

The local Street Car Mems union
has prospered to such an extent
since its recent organization that a
sick benefit paying 81 per week has
been established Several other
features possible only by hearty CO.
operation interest distinguish the
new union.
Last night the organization gave
smoker and publication meeting
TO celebrate the granting of a new
wage scale on the Traction lines
and the continued existence of the
best of terms between the union
and the company. Eight new mem
bers were admitted and there are
8 or 9 applications on file. These
limitations practically make an all
union system of the Traction Co.,
so far as street car men are con-
cerned.
None of the w. w. p. men are
enrolled In the union, that concern
being non-union in all branches.

LOOKS GOOD TO
MOLOERS

Local members of the holders
union are much encouraged by re-
ports from the coast in regard to
the fight for the 8 hour day. In
Tacoma out of shops have sign
ed up and over 40 are said to have
conceded the shorter day.
A number of unions have not
struck yet, awaiting action of the
international president, Joseph F.
Valentine, who is expected to &C
complish much toward bringing
about a settlement. He is now on
the coast. Vancouver, B. c.. and
other unions on the north coast, are
among those which have not
struck.
A peculiar feature Of the local
fight was the striking of the non
union molders in the National Iron
works recently, they demanding
the same wages as the men were
receiving in other shops. OF the Z
men who struck have returned to
work.
At the Union Iron work there has
been no change in the situation.
The molders have made no effort
to bring about settlement and the
firm has not attempted to replace
the strikers, no new men being i'm
ported. 1t is doubtful if such are
available.

LOOKS LIKE SAM
STERN'S JOB

II is highly improbable that
Charles p. Lund will succeed to the
Office OF corporation counsel in
place of James T. Geraghty. Lund
is at present none to well intrench-
ed politically. 1t is claimed that
the old line of republicans have
had to pull him into line on numer-
Gus occasions and when Governor
Mead was making the race, Lund in
some stump speeches hardly re-
ferred to the governor. while the
other candidates got all of his at
tention. During the city campaign
he was sidetracked as city chair
man, the Doust wing selecting E.
F. Waggoner for their chairman and
the Moore wing selecting d. M.
Thompson.
The likely possibility for next
corporation counsel is Sam r.
Stern. Before Moor was NOM
mated Mr.. Stern was very frank
about his opposition to Mr.. Doust.
He worked steadily for Moore dur.
ing the primary campaign and the
city campaign. He Is man who
likes to keep before the public and
as corporation counsel he will
have all the opportunity to do this
he wants.

proceed to 81, announcing a boy?
At the 18th shot the great city

roar and a shout as Of the roar Of
all the oceans rolled into one wave

from the city. The people did not

Immediately all Spain broke into

LOOK AHEAD

For a defeated candidate, w. J.
Doust seems to be in the position
OF naming his own medicine. When
he's all nicely framed up for chief
of police along comes a rumor that
1t is city commissioner he should be
in place of James T. Omo-when
ONO is eventually deposed. They
say a proposition of this sort has
been laid before Doust and that he
didn't tilt his nose far enough to
indicate that he wouldn't have it.
The wise ones are saying that
Mac Pugh will be the next real
chief of police that he will slide
gently into the job after an acting
chief has cleared up all the re-
forming in sight.
1t is not intimated that Pugh per-
sonally is lodging the muck rake,
but he IS strong with the republic
can machine and that structure has
future to figure on. Friction is
not the best thing on earth for ma
chine futures. 1t is nearly as bad
as the direct primary, sometimes.
With both Pugh and Doust oc-
cupying Jobs under the Moore adj
ministration. the wings OF the re-
publican party would be brought
close together and it would be but
matter Of few weeks when they
would be working in harmony.
Unless Moore sat tight in the
saddle then the county and state
republican machine would be so
strengthened in this city that it
would be almost impossible to over
throw ii. The democratic machine
is today smashed to smithereens. 1t
has depended in the past upon a
certain republican element for a
portion of its strength. That GER
tain element appears to have been
reconstructed.

HAYWOOD FAMILY REUNITED BEHIND PRISON BARS
BY JOHN e. NEVINS

Vpec1al Correspondent to The Press.
BOISE. Idaho, May 1O.-Mrs. w.
D. Haywood, the invalid wife of the
Western Federation secretary, is
the object of much sympathy and
interest. Every afternoon at 3
O'Clock she is taken to see her hus-
band behind the grated bars of the
county jail. Her two daughters,
aged II and II years, and the nurse
or the guard detailed by the miners
federation accompany her.
For 2 hours the members of the
little family enjoy the association
that was broken when Haywood
was brought here to stand trial for
his life. Promptly at o'clock, in
obedience to the prison rules, the
visitors return to the temporary
home provided for them in this
city.
Mrs. Haywood and the children
were brought here from Denver to
attend the trial. The first reunion
of the family was pathetic. There
has always been great affection
among the members. The story has
often been told of Haywood's devo-
ticn to the invalid. How he built
cabin in the mountains of south
ern Idaho in an effort to nurse her
back to health and carried her in
hfs sturdy arms on visits to the
neighbors.
The reunion Of the family recall
ed wildly to the mind of each of its
members memory Of the broken
home. Haywood left the cottage to
spend an evening downtown. Far
in the next day, after long hours Of
watching and worry, his wife
learned that he had been spirited
to Boise to answer to a charge OF
murder 1t was not until Ia months
after that time that she beheld him
again, and then in prison here. The
guards slipped out and for hours
the members of the Haywood
family exchanged words of affection
and answered eager questions con-
corning the events. big and little,
that entered into their lives during

precious burden around the circle
of dignitaries and each in turn
solemnly bowed to the new scion
of royalty. This ceremony over,
they were qualified to go forth and
make official announcement of the
arrival
Later the birth of the heir was
celebrated by the holding of spe-
cial services in all the churches.
The christening will take place
within a week in the private chapel
at the palace. Space is always re-
served for some of the poor of the
city.
The font used for the christening
is one that has figured at the
christening of Spanish princes and
princesses for several centuries.
The nurse for a royal infant is al
ways chosen from among the
peasant women of the Asturias,
who are noted for their beauty.
The babes name is Alfonso. The
queens condition is normal and
satisfactory.
