ports that imbedded in the ice fields
are two large steamers, the Allan
Liner OntaIian and the Dominion
Liner Vancouver The Allan Line
steamer Ionian Is also believed to be
fast In the ice. The fields stretch
across Cabot Strait for distance OF
a little over 80 miles and to add to
the dangers OF navigation thick fog
hangs over the coast
Not for years has the opening of
the summer service to Montreal been
so DELAYED as this year and as re
suit immense quantities of freight de-
signed for that port, which in the
summer is one OF the greatest ship
ping terminals OH the continent, have
been severely delayed.
Opening Season Delayed.
During the winter the Transatlantic
business of Montreal is suspended on
account of the i.e in the St. Lawrence
river and gulf and Halifax, st. John,
Portland, CMaine), ana Boston are
made the terminal points for the
liners. These steamers were with
drawn from the winter routes In |
April and many of them have sailed |
fiom across the water with unusually |
heavy cargoes billed for Montreal, as
the season usually opens under or
dInary conditions by April Is.
The ice conditions this winter all
IN and down the coast Of he mari
time provinces has been worse than
for MANY seasons and marine inter
ests. The government ice breaking
steamers have been helpless for
weeks at a time, having been caught
in their effolts to relieve other ves-
sells. The sealing feet has been one
OF the heaviest losers. Its catch has
rur thousands behind that of last
year, owing to the sealing grounds
being welleC in by vast ice fields.
several of the steamers were badly
damaged in the ice and three are
still imprisoned somewhere along the

An application for a bill of particu
lars, filed by the defense, will be ar
gued tomorrow before Judge Fremont
Wood, who will try the Haywood case
James II. Hawley, the leading
counsel for the prosecution, was asked
today to explain the reasons for the
delay in the trial. II had been
charged that the state has wilfully
caused the delay and that the pris-
oners have been kept in confinement
without trial for an unwarran'ed pc
riod.
Prosecutor Explains Delay.
Mr.. Hawey said:
"The revised statutes of the United
States treating of appeals TO the
United States circuit courts in habeas
corpus where a prisoner is held by
state court. makes null and void any
action Of the state pending an appeal.
The great majority of courts of las,
resort hold any action on the par
of the trial court absolutely void un-
til the decision of the supreme court
of the United States has been actually
rendered.
IL will be seen therefore. that II
in May, 1906. we had proceeded with
the trial in the trial court of this
state before the decision of the SUI
preme court had been rendered. the
defendants would have been dischorg.
ed, as they could not a second time
be put in jeopardy of their lives"
On the cause of delay Clarence
Darrow Of the counsel for the defense
said:
IF there could be any doubt under
the statute, which there could not, the
supreme court of the United States
expressly decided the matter in this
way in the case Of Mrs. Rodgers of
Vermont. who was Died and con
victed pending such an appeal.
