Discharge of the Jury.

When at 5:45 this afternoon the
attorneys for Adams appeared in

with disagreement of the jury,
Judge Woods ordered the jury and

i'll Mcdonald went for the defendant
and the bailiffs opened the side door

RATHDRUM, Ida, Nov. 24.-The
jury in the Steve Adams case was dis
charged at 5:45 o'clock this after
noon, being unable to agree on
verdict, after being out since $50
o'clock Saturday night. 1t stood
eight for acquittal and four for con
viction. Jurymen ]. r. House,
Charles Dittemore, d. w. Garwood
and S. A. Varnam were the four men
who believed Steve Adams guilty of
the murder of Fred Tyler in the Mar
Bile creek district of Shoshone county,
Idaho, in August, 1904
Five Ballots Taken.
There were five ballots taken, the
first a short time after the jury re-
tired Saturday night. All resulted
the same as the final one. which
was recorded some time during Sat
urday night. About o'clock today
the jurors sent note to Judge w. w
Wood, who presided at the trial, that
an agreement was out of the ques-
ton. Judge Woods held conference
with the attorneys in the case and
asked them if they believed it best
to keep the jury out longer. They
said they would see.
Clarence barrow, leading attorney
for Steve Adams, was not in favor
of the jury being discharged until
the defense had secured some conces-
sion. He wanted Adams admitted to
bail. Also he wanted the case
against his client in which he is
charged with the murder of Arthur
Collins in Telluride, Col, in 1902,
during the labor troubles, kept in
allegiance until the present charge of
numbering Fred Tyler is disposed of.
James II. Hawley of Boise Idaho, who
has been the leading attorney for the
state in the prosecution of Adams.
said he could not authorize any ac-
tion for the Colorado authorities.
Then the agreement between the at
torneys for the discharge of the jury
was off.
An hour or two later, however, the
defendants attorneys learned that
the jury stood about four to eight in
their favor, but that the four men
who held out for the state would not
relent, and they agreed to let the
jury CO.
Sheriff Bailey of Wallace was here
with warrant for the arrest of Ad-
ans for the murder of Ed Boule in
the Marble creek district about the
time Tyler was killed and this help
ed to bring about the discharge of
the jury.
1t is understood that Adams is not
to be taken back to Colodado at pres
ent, but the state will not make any
effort to stop his being released on
bond in the Tyler case. He has been
twice tried, the first time at Wallace
in February. and both times the iur-
les have disagreed,

TIE POPULIST CONFERENCE
ISSUES ADDRESS.
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 26, 1907.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 26, 1907.
The Peoples Party, in national
conference, again calls the attention
Of the country to the need of scien-
tlfic system Of money, issued direct
by the Government, as intended by
the constitution, without the inter-
vention Of banks Of issue. The ma
ton is now in the midst of one of
those recurrent but unnecessary
financial panics, which result from a
faulty system of currency. The blind
folly of leaving the nations money,
hence it's business and industry, at
the mercy of a few speculative gam
blers was never SO apparent as at this
moment. They are those who have
created the trouble from which we
are now suffering. They are those
who are cornering the people Is cur
rency to use in stock gambling, and
are thus holding it from the legiti-
mate channels of trade.
Sixteen years ago, the Peoples
Party, in its first national convention
pointed out these defects in our fnan-
cial system and their remedies.
Through good and evil report we
have never swerved from the advo-
cacy Of those fundamental truths. We
have believed them, and still believe
them, necessar to the salvation of the
country. Money, land and transport
tation-these constituted the original
trinity of reform held aloft by the
peoples convention at Omaha. An
adequate currency issued direct by
the government and not redeemable
in any other kind Of money; land
held fer actual settlers and not sub
ject to speculation and alien owner
ship; railroads and telegraphs owned
and operated by the government. To
these three cardinal principles we're
added direct legislation through the
initiative and referendum; the recall
and proportional representation !;
popular election of the president and
vice-president, senators and federal
judges; postal savings banks and the
parcels post; and the right of la
Dor to organize, to demand shorter
day and to insist on fair and just
share Of the products of its own toll.
These principles are justly known rs
populistic for the reason that, in the
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1907-12-05

litical platform and first introduced
to political discussion, by the Peo-
pies Party in 1892.
Still more fundamental and basic
than these details, however, was the
real and recognized mission of pop
ulism. It was to war against the
monopoly and to uphold the original
spirit of liberty, democracy and the
Americanism Of the fathers that the
Peoples Party was born.
If to promote principle constitutes
success, then no party in American
history has been more triumphant
Today no party dares 60 before the
people that does not reflect some of
the spirit and advocate some Of the
truths Of Populism. The literature
Of the nation in magazines and else
where, is filed with our ideas and is
carrying forward our battle. And
whether consciously or unconsciously
the majority Of American voters to-
day are standing on our platform.
Ours has been victory unique in
political history. When other par
ties seemed to take up some Of our
ideas this deception lost to us for
the time our party success, our press
and almost our organization. Our
patriotism and unselfshness made
this possible. In the result we have
proved once more that he who loses
his life for the sake of truth shall
find it again. Ours has not been the
success of numbers, of shouting or
Of noise. The glamor Of place, Of
office, or of the world S acceptance,
we have not courted or received. But.
after all, these constitute only the
shell of success. We have what is
better, its substance in the rapid
progress of our principles.
Nor do we rejoice in this through
any narrow spirit of partyism. Party
without principle is only name.
Party slavery la the curse Of the ma
ton. Through whomsoever the good
may come, it is enjoyed alike by the
brotherhood of all the people. The
seed sowing of the past has not been
In vain. The truths Of the Omaha
platform now mould the thought Of
the nation. The reform work of to-
day was made possible by the sacri-
fees, the devotion, and the loyalty
to principle of the Old Guard. The
advanced position Of the leading fig
ures Of the older parties is the re-
suit of Populistic teachings. We
heartily welcome these distinguished
converts, and can but wish that they
had shown more persistence in fol-
lowing the reform road to the end,
and had displayed more stability in
advocating our principles in the face
Of party opposition. Truth is higher
than faction. Country is more than
party. In the hour of crisis the real
ly great leader will follow the right,
regardless of the effects on himself
and without weakening in the face of
blind partisan clamor.

Factories Start Full Time Anew.
New York, Nov. 25.-Recent re-
sumption Of industrial activity in the
eastern states tends to controvert the
accounts Of general depression which
have gained circulation owing to clos
ing down, partially or completely, by
many concerns. The financial strin-
gency throughout the country had its
natural reflection in partial suspen-
sion Of operations in middle Atlantic
centers, but fear Of general indus
trial depression has not been real
lied.
News was received tonight Of the
return to full time Of some indus
tries in the New England states and
New York, and the hope is that with
the general relaxation in the money
market these conditions will be large

manufacturing section will soon ex-

State to Seek Speedy Trial.
Montgomery, Ala, Dec. 1.-(Spe-

settlement Of the jurisdiction in the
injunctions granted against the state
laws by the federal court at the in
stance of the railroads seems we'll es-
tablished.
Two ways are open to this point
one by application for a writ of pro-
1 hlbitlon to ascertain the rights OF
The court, and the other by habeas
I corpus to release any man who may,
be arrested in either case. The point
Of attack would be the theory that
j the United States has no right to en-
s I'm criminal prosecution.
8w In both cases the application would
4 go direct to the national supreme
] court, in the first place, by petition
for an estoppal order on the grouno
of no authority, and in latter case
the same idea, but reached in the way
of habeas corpus, to release any man
d arrested for contempt in violating
the order Of the court. The advan
1 tage of the plans lies in the possibit-
Y ity of their being acted upon in a
short time. With the feeling that
n now exists it is regarded as very i'm
4 portant that a decision be reached
II at the earliest possible moment.
