ACCUSED OF CoNSPIRING
To Murder Ex-Governor Steunenberg
Who Was Killed by a Bomb
Two Years Ago Near His
Home.

Boise, Idaho, July e7.--It is now left
for the jury to say whether or not vii.
liam D. Haywood, secretary Of the
Western Federation Of Moners, is guilty
Of participating in criminal conspir-
acy to assassinate ex-Goyernor Frank
Steunenberg, who was killed by .
bomb at his home in Caldwell on De-

the attorneys were spoken last night
when United States Senator Borah who
was engaged by the prosecution, finish
ed his argument The trial was attend
ed by a very large audience last night,
several hundred being barred out and
taking their places under the windows
to catch the words of the speakers.
Watch these FIVE men--Simpkins,
Orchard, Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone. SteunenbeTg is TO die In thirty

craftily on the mesh of his net. The
"themS was conspiracy-the essence of
the case of the State of idaho in its eff
forts to show that Harry Orchard was
only the tool of Haywood when he kill
ed the former governor.
Under it all, Haywood was perhaps,
the one man in the room who showed
the least emotion. AT times his face
flushed; and more than once he paled
under the attack as Senator Borah,
reaching the climax of the eonspiracies
pointed an accusing finger at the man
who he said was the criminal force be-
hind the Western Federation of Mi
aers.p
Mrs. Steunenberg, widow Of the mur-
dered governor, attended the morning
session, but left early, almost prostrated
by the emotion awakened by Mr.. Bor-
abs vivid oratory. Haywood's mother
also left the court room III tears, but

CUBAN ELECTIONS DELAYED.
Cannot Now Be Held Until Sometime
Next Year.

Havana, July 27.--The Cuban elee.
tions, it is now generally conceded, can
not be held this year. Secretary Taft
had hoped to hold municipal elections
in September or October, but 1t is
found that the census, which must be
completed before the elections, cannot
be finished until late IN the fall The
elections, in consequence, cannot be held
until January Or February. The sit
uation so far as the elections are con-
cerned, is disappointing to Cubans gem
orally.
