Judge Wood made it plain that he
would not permit the Introduction of
evidence in regard to the labor trou-
bles in Colorado which was admitted
al the trial of Haywood, and then
stricken from the record because. it
was held by the court, the defense mad
failed to establish its counter conspir-

Miners, arrived in Boise Tuesday, and
sat with the spectators at the after
noon session of court. He will take

Cortelyou Not a Candidate.

notwithstanding Cort telyou
in a signed statement given out to-
night, pronounces unqualiliedly false
the current rumors of undue political
activity of his friends in forwarding a
movement in his interest. The secre-
tary declares that neither he nor his
friends have used their influence in
behalf of any candidate for the pres
idency and that he has not been a
candidate for anything but the conf.
dence of the people. He adds that il
he should hereafter decide to be u
candidate for any Office he will say So
frankly. The statement follows:
Dec II, 1907.
81 do not know that ! am called
upon to make a statement at this time,
but IN view of the various rumors in
circulation as to the alleged political
activity of friends of mine in my in
terest, | will say that | have not been
a candidate for anything but the con
fidence of the people in the discharge
of my duty as secretary of the treas
ury. | have not in person sought, nor
have the friends whose names have
been mentioned in this connection
sought to influence political move
ments in my interest.
II have not, nor have they. used
any influence, directly or indirectly, to
secure political support for or against
any candidate for the presidency and
accusations that such has been done
are unqualifiedly false In no Office
in no one of the three departments
with which | have been connected,
have ! authorized or permitted officials
or employees to attempt to influence
any such movements. nor shall do so
"In common with many other citi
zens, ! have decided views as to pol.
icies and as to candidates. but I shall
refrain from expressing them until ]
believe it is proper for me to do so
Upon this statement am entirely con.
tent to leave the people to draw their
own conclusions regarding such rll-
mors as those to which | have refer
red
"If in the future ! shall decide to
be candidate for any office, ! shall be
prepared to say SO frankly and state
the grounds upon which ask for sup.
port. In the meantime I shall try, as
I have tried in the past, to conduct the
Treasury Department for the benefit
Of tie people of the whole country and

The lights of the city flashed by, and
finally grew few and far between, and
then came the blackness of the coun-
try. 1t would take an hour and half
to cross the frontier, and there would
be no stop this side, for which he was
grateful He swore, mumbling. To
have come all this way to study, and
then to leg it in this ignominous fash
ion! 1t was downright scandalous!
Whoever heard of such laws? OF
course he had been rather silly in
pulling his gun, for even in the United
States-where he devoutly wished
himself at that moment-it was mis-

He felt of his cheek. He would return

he evSr did, he would slash that lieu

He choked.
Gradually his eyes became accus-
toned to the dim light, and he cast
about.
THE deuce!" he muttered.
He was not alone. Huddled in the
far corner was woman heavily
veiled. Young or old, he could not
tell. She sat motionless, and appear
ed to be looking out of the opposite
window. Well, so long as she did not
bother him he would not bother her
But he would much rather have been
alone.
He took out his passport and tried
to read it. 1t was impossible. So he
rose, steadied himself and turned up
the wick of one of the lamps.
He did not hear the muffled ex-
clamation which came from the other
end.
He dropped back upon the cushion
and began to read. So he was George

WIRES CUT
NEVADA MINING CITY LEFT in
DARKNESS AND MILLS
IDLE.
FUNSTON WILL STAY
GOVERNOR SPARKS CAUTIONED
AGAINST LEAVING HIS
HOTEL.

Goldfield, New, Dec. 17.-Gollfieid
is greatly alarmed tonight over the
fact that the feed wires of the Nevada
California Power Company are down
and that the company has been unable
to find the break or determine the
cause of it.
The break occurred at o'clock this
afternoon.
General Funston has cancelled his
order for berths for himself and staff
on the train and he will remain in
Goldfield indefinitely.
General Funston and Governor
Sparks We're in consultation early in
the evening and shortly after Colonel
Reynolds left for the camp of lhe fed
eral troops and all soldiers on the
streets were gathered up and taken
ipto camp.
AS near as can be learned, tle
break in the wires is near Palmetto, a
mining camp about twenty-one miles
southwest of Goldfield
The power which is brought to Gold
field is developed near Bishop. in Inyo
county, California, about fifty iniies
away. For the past five weeks the
power company has had large force
of men patrolling the line. which
passes over the highest portion Of the
Sierra Blanca range.
A telephone line extends the entire
length of the power line and this also
is down, so that communication with
the men patrolling the power line is
impossible.
An effort was made to induce Cen
eral Funston to patrol the city and the
vicinity of the mines with troops to-
night, but he has not issued an order.
When wages were reduced by the
company all of the men but one went
out on strike, but they returned to
work several days ago after a confer
ence between the Mine Owners Asso
citation and representatives Of the
American Federation of Labor.
These negotiations angered the
Western Federation men, and it mas
been freely predicted that any serious
outbreak in Goldfield would be pref
aced by the cutting off OF the lights.
Governor Sparks has been cautioned
against leaving his hotel until the
lights are restored.
A SINH ar incident under normal cir
cumstances causes no alarm, but in
the present strained situation grave
fear exists. Every one is on the alert.
especially those who have taken active
]
Three mines were operated today
with the men brought in from other
points and these who have signed the
agl cement of the Goldfeld Mine Own
ers Association. The mill of the Con
solidated company and the Nevada
Goldfeld reduction works also were IN
operation all day.
Tonight there is no work being done
in any of the mines or mills, owing to
the lack of power caused by the break
il the wires.
The total number of men at work to-
day was about 100, and it is announced
tonight by the operators that fifty
more will arrive tomorrow.
Operators tonight say that if the
break in the power line can be repaired
before time for the morning shift 10 go
on over 200 men will be working in the
mines tomorrow.
