CONTEST OF DETECTIVES.
Every Move on Part OF States At.

Boise, Idaho, June 20.-Secrecy is
the watchword of the men who are
conducting the prosecution of w. D.
Haywood, charged by the state of
Idaho with comprising the death by
assassination of former chief execu-
tive and mystery surrounds every
move made by counsel retained by
the Western Federation of Miners to
defend their secretary.
The case has reached the stage
where every move on the part of the
states attorney is closely watched
and reported on by scores of sleuths
employed by the defense, in order that
counteracting evidence may be Sc.
cured from the points in the four
or five western states where the al
legged conspiracy, eliminating, ac-
cording to the allegations of the pros.
ecutors, in half a hundred murders,
played it's part and from which the
state is producing witnesses.
While the state has its day in
court, another score of detectives
watches the employees of the defense
in the hope of uncovering some new
move by which counsel for Haywood
hope to clear their client from the
charge of murder.

Department of Commerce and Labor
to Continue Investigation Into the
Cause-Gen. Uhler Disagrees With
Verdict of Naval Body.

Washington, June 20.-Admiral
Emory, commanding the fourth divi~
sion Atlantic fleet, who is at present
the ranking officer of the American
ships in Hampton roads, arrived in
Washington Wednesday on a hasty
visit to the navy department. He
brought with him the report of the
naval board of investigation which
has been looking into the circum-
stances surrounding the loss of the
launch Of the battleship Minnesota on
the night of June 10. The board found
that the launch had fowled steel
hawser with which the tug Crisfeld
was towing barge carrying a mum.

Charles to Norfolk. No criminality is
attached to the officers of the Girls
field, who were in ignorance of the dis

Inquiry to Be Continued.
The inquiry into the loss of the
Minnesota's launch, though closed as
far as the navy department is con-
cerned, will now be continued by the
department of commerce and labor.
Gen. Uhler, supervising inspector gen.
eral of steam vessels, was at the navy
department Wednesday in consulta-
ton with Secretary Metcalf, and Is
arranging to prosecute the inquiry
next Friday, following out the theory
that the accident was caused by the
launch striking a heavy acetyline
buoy in the fairway, which seemed to
find support in the fact that the hull
of the boat was found within 200 yards
of this buoy. Gen. Uhler is quite posi-
tive that the injury to the launch
could not have been inflicted by a
hawser or towline of a tugboat. The
hole in the launch is on the star
board side and was sufficiently large
almost Immediately to food the little
vessel.
II am convinced" said Gen. Uhler,
chat the injury was inflicted through
collision Of some kind-with barge,
some large vessel, or, perhaps, with a
buoy. 1t would have been impossible,
think, for such hole to be torn in
the launch's side by tow line. Had
the launch come in contact with a
towline it's upper works would nave
been carried away. The vessel might
thus have been capsized and sunk, but
no dent would have been made in her
side. The launch's machinery was in.
tact, showing that she had not broken
down. We expect to continue our
investigation into the accident and we
hope, eventually, to determine def
nitely the cause of the disaster"
