subsequent to the assassination of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, the law was amend
ed, increasing the number to ten-the
same as allowed the defense.
The question was as to whether the
amendment constituted an ex post facto
law. After argument the court ruled
that the law was not ex post facto ana
that the state had the right to ten
challenges.
In arguing the matter Mr.. Richardson
said that the right of authority was
with the contention of the state, but
said that his side intended to make the
most of the point in a higher court II
circumstances warranted and made the
assertion that the legislature of Idaho
had amended the law because of Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone
Both Mr.. Hawley and Senator Borah
resented the statement, and the Judge
said that the court would not for q
moment assume that the motives or
the Legislature had been improper.
The fifth peremptory challenge, rep
resenting a total of three by the de-
fense and two by the state. was made
late this afternoon and at adjournment
an effort to fill the place made vacant
was in progress. United there are fif
teen more peremptory challenges to be
used, and of the special venire of 100
talesmen only three remain. There will
be a short session tomorrow and the
case will then go over until Monday.

radesa who "saw the sights" 600 of the
sailors of the Japanese cruisers Chitose
and Tsukuba today enjoyed an auto

Gen. Grant and staff paid an official
call upon Gen. Kuroki today. Through
an interpreter, Gen. Kuroki said to
Gen. Grant today:
In 1871 when your illustrious father

l, as the colonel of the Japanese regi-
ment was one of his escort of honor.
am delighted at the opportunity of
conveying to his son my belief that
Gen. U. S. Grant was one of the finest

OCEAN STEAMER LINE
INTERESTS LONG BEACH
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 17.-Local capital
lists are interesting themselves in a
notable project to establish a transoceanic
steamer line from this port. The matter
has advanced so far that bids on the con-
struction of two steamers have been
asked for and the Craig Shipbuilding com
has offered to construct the two vessels
for $S50,000, or one of them for S1S5,000
These bids are said to be the lowest yet
received.
The Craig firm offers to deliver the first
boat in August 1908, and the second vessel
two months later Both will be con-
structed in the local yard.
To carry out the project would require
the issuance of stock and the promoters
are now busily engaged in interviewing
men or means to determine their views
of the proposition. 1t is reported that
they ara meeting with great encour-
agement.

Bryson Talks of Affairs

Bryson Talks of Affairs
John Bryson, sr., the millionaire, gave
the following interview to a Herald re-
porter last night:
lis it true that the compromise is tc
keep you and Mrs. Gladys Lambertor
away from Los Angeles?" was asked.
There is no part of God Almighty
earth they will ever keep either me or
Mrs. Lamberton away from. l will al
ways come and go to Los Angeles as
please, because this is my home, where
have lived for the best part of my
life
1T is not true that 1 ever gave any
property by will or deed in my lifetime
to Mrs. Lamberton. Not a bit of it.
And you bet 1 never intend to give her
anything like that. My will was made
twelve years ago and gave everything
to my children, my grandchildren and
my great grandchildren.
81 never intended to mention Mrs.
Lamberton in my will. never gave
deed of any kind except the 100000
deed to my wife when we separated.
And 1 also made her gift deed of $780,
900 two years after our settlement. and
a string of deeds to small properties to
my heirs since, but to Lamberton I
gave nothing and will never deed any,
housekeeper and my nurse, having
saved my life on four different occa-
sions and supplied with board and al
lowed me lodging in her Bonnie Brae
house. She bought that house from
funds obtained from her divorced hus-
band. She has been literally paid for
all that service, having received a high
wage from me.
Declares All Mistake
"They are suing for the return of
stocks and money from her, but If there
is a compromise she will be released
from accounting for anything. The
whole thing is mistake. My relatives
got the notion in their heads that Mrs
had gotten away with my
whole estate by means of hidden deeds
and wills. I showed my will made
twelve years ago to Mrs. Bryson's law
yers and proved to them that 1 never
decided a foot of my land to Mrs. Lam
berton.
Mrs. Bryson and myself will proba-
bly, deed all interests in the Bryson
block to the family corporation. In
this way my family and the whole
world will know that my intentions
were serious and that no stranger will
ever get any deed or will to any of my
interests or my wife's interests in the
Bryson block.
"They charge me with being incompe-
tent and l am going to have that ques-
ton settled by the courts, no matter
a compromise is effected or
not"

person or committe is an unqualified
falsehood. 1 called the committee of
fifty together some time ago in order
that I might have the advantage of the
wisdom and advice of the best citizens
of the city in financial and industrial
crisis. This committee of fifty selected
subcommittee in order that important
work might be systematized and car
ried out, and one of these committees
is the so-called committee of seven. I
have not resigned nor yielded my pre-
rogative to anybody and any statement
to the contrary is malicious falsehood.
There is no reason why l should pass
over the reins of government to other
people.
"As for Ruefs charges will say he
has never paid me any bribe money and
he knows it. If he says he passed bribe
money to me he simply lies. 1 only
know that he has made such charges
from what 1 am told and from the
newspaper reports"
Il appointed the committee of fifty"
said the mayor when interviewed, "for
the same reasons that / selected a SIM
liar committee to act Immediately after
the big earthquake and fire. 1 wanted
the soundest judgment. the most stall
wart men in the community, to guide
and assist me in a critical moment at
that time and 1 considered the recent |
financial and industrial crisis as an
emergency of equal seriousness. I Sc
lected the committee and then the SUBJ |
committees were appointed. 1 told the |
committees one and all that 1 would |
be guided by their advice and would
appreciate their suggestions.
Offered to Take Advice
"I did agree, it is true, to take such
steps in the matter of civil govern
ment as this committee of seven deemed |
best, but at no time did 1 say l would |
resign or pass over the reins of gov |
ernment. While 1 pledged myself to
take the suggestions made and do all 1
possibly could to carry them out did |
not intimate that l would cease to be |
mayor and pass over my authority, |
and none know that fact better than
the committees themselves.
This wild assertion is doubtless
made by irresponsible persons and
shall pay no heed to it.
LAS to the charges made by Mr.. Ruef
which I read in the newspapers and
learn of by word of mouth. but which
I do not know that Mr. Ruef actually
made, I can only say that they are
false. 1 have taken no notice of similar
charges and I take no notice of this
excepting to brand it as false. 1 do
not believe in trying such issues in the
1 have received no bribe
moneys and Mr.. Ruef knows that he
has paid none to me. That is all there
is to it,
Mayor Schmitz then amplified his
reference to the committee of fifty by
stating that he had called that body
together for the good of the community
and had hoped that industrial and
financial conditions might be greatly
by the committees good work,
The mayor said he was pleased with
the good work the committee had done
and felt sure that conditions had been
much improved. He added that it
would have been vain to call these citi-
zens together for the purpose unless he
felt prepared to abide by their acts and
back up their convictions with his own
and power.

HAVE THE TIMES MAILED TO YOU.
SUNDAY. AUGUST 4, 1907.
A Great Victory.

A fine of $29,24O,OoO attests the
earnestness, industry, and practical
knowledge with which the Govern
men has undertaken TO enforce the
law against one Of the greatest non
governmental institutions in the
history of the world. The Standard
Oil Company not only has been ae-
cused and indicted; it has been also
convicted and sentenced. The power
of corporations would appear to
have found a limit.
The Government has won a great
victory. The President, Mr.. Gar
field. and the attorneys in charge
of the cases have all earned high
praise. But S29,OOO,OOO is a great
sum. and the Standards attorneys
are resOurceful. The representa-
tives of the Government in this ac-
tion viii do well not to hold their
breath until the fine is paid.

HOLY WAR BY hOORS,
PREDICTED IN TANGIERS

TANGIER, Aug. 9-Rabat. one of the
most important seaport towns Of No
rocco, with its population of 5000 souls,
over 10000 Of whom are white persons,
is believed TO have been invested by
fanatical Moors intent on carrying out
the plans for a holy war. 1t is feared
the massacre of Casablanca will be re-
peated there. The report comes from
usually reliable sources, and says the
Europeans are in danger Of massacre.
Along the entire coast, il is said
the natives are in a state of wild ex-
element Agitators have stirred them
UP to a dangerous point by advocating
the driving out OF all foreigners. The
natives believe the French and Spanish
soldiers on their way to Casablanca Will
not dare to disembark. They say other
European nations win prevent Spain
and France from taking summary meas
ures.
Tonight a meeting of the European
residents and visitors was held, protest
ing against the insecurity in Morocco
and the inefficiency of the government.

WAR STILL ON,
QUIRK INTIhATES
Salvation Army Adjutant
Wants More Facts,
He Says.

Contrary to the general belief, after
the investigation by Lieutenant Pack
yesterday of the two Salvation armies,
the war between the two organizations
is not yet over by any means, accord
ing to the signed statement issued by
Adjutant Quiri1, Of the Salvation Army,
last night. and a letter received at the
Washington quarters from the attorney
and counsel of the national organization
of the Salvation Army in New York city.
The statement Of Adjutant Quirk,
issued last night. is as follows:
II was most certainly not satisfied
with the result of the hearing today. 1t
does not alter my determination to get
to the bottom of facts regarding the
American Salvation Army. Our organ
ization intends TO sift the matter thor
oughly, and this corps viii assist with
all their heart"
The letter from the attorney of the
organization first warns the people
against the many alleged misstatements
made as TO the organization by out
siders.
The letter was written by NJ. ]. H.

Persistent in a FOrIOrn Hope.

Chief Yeoman Fred J. Buenzle, of
the United States navy, is Worthy
all admiration for the persistency
with which he carries his dance
hall expulsion case from one court
to another. Defeated in both the
district and the superior courts, he
has now made a formal appeal to
the chief tribunal of the State of
Rhode Island, hoping that at last
that court viii overtmn the de-
cisiOns of the others and give him
substantial satisfaction against the
man who had him elected from the
dance hall because he was wearing a
navy uniform.
But liking for Buenzle's courage
in the matter cannot blind his fell
low-Americans to the fact that he
is fighting in n forlorn hope. No
reason offers to believe that the SUI
preme court of the State of Rhode
Island will decide other than other
courts have done in similar cases.
As these columns have already
pointed out, every decision in mat
ters of this sort has been in favor
of owners and proprietors of places
of amusement, no matter, even, if
they emphatically stated in court
that the sole reason for the non-ad-
mission or the election of individuals
was because Of the wearing of Ger
tain kinds of clothes.
A man in priestly garb could be
refused admission to a tbeater and
he would be equally without re-
dress. So with a soldier or a sailor
of the United States. The owner
of a place Of amusement is the sole
arbiter of the persons he chooses
TO have admitted to his premises.
Not even the great influence of the
President of the United States can
change this well established conclu-
sion of law.

The Rush to Europe.

The season for the first terrific
rush to Europe is ended, according
10 the experience of former years.
Yet reports from the shipping COM
panies indicate that the movement
is going bravely on, and steamers
are as crowded with outgoing first
and second class passengers as they
are, on the return, with steerage
people seeking homes in America.
Some amazing figures on this
years tourist movement TO the old
world were recently given out on
the authority of the steamship com
panies. These covered the European
hegira for the first half of the year,
and computations based on them
and the experience of former years
Justify the conclusion that no less
than half million Of Americans will
visit the other side this season.
The summer trip abroad is a most
useful educational affair, no mat
ter how thoughtlessly and hastily
made. People happen just now to
have more money for this sort of
thing than they ever had before,
and there could be no worse error
than to assume that the 5000, 100000
or more that viii be spent this year
by our countrymen in learning
something Of the rest of the world
is to be marked down as a mere
waste of national substance, an
economic waste. 1t is, in fact, an
investment in wider views and more
intelligent understanding of the
larger community which nowadays
makes up the world.

No More Adapted ATmOrieS.

What's worth having for the Dis
trict National Guard is worth fight
ing for. The brigade needs new,
modern, adequate quarters. 1t
would gain nothing, absolutely
nothing, by moving into other worn
out, adapted, and temporary quar-
ters than those it now occupies.
Wherefore, the suggestion that the
present Sixth street railway station
be converted into an armory for the
use of the District Guard ought not
be seriously considered.
Higher efficiency, easier recruit
ing, and a desirable hall for such
governmental functions as the in
augural ball, would all be obtained
by the erection of a new armory.
The site of the Sixth street station
would be admirable for such a struc-
ture. Allowing for a drill hall 500
feet long, the building could yet
because of the irregular formation
of the Mall at that point-be kept
within the limits fixed by the Burn
ham commission.
If the armory is new it can be
made to conform in every way, as to
architecture, material, and location,
with the general scheme for the
adornment of the park. And if this
much is done, if a new structure
specially designed for the double
use indicated shall be erected of per-
manent material, on so central a
site, the problem of maintaining a
model guard at the Natiopal Capital
Will be half solved.
A bill providing for the cohstruc-
tion of such an armOry was pre-
sented to Congress two years ago.
At least one committee passed fav-
orably upon it. But the general rule
whereby all new building projects
for the District of Columbia were
eliminated from the omnibus public
building bill stopped this particular
measure in the House. Any friends

ARCHDUKE PAYS TAXES,
DON'T WANT PROPERTY

ROME, Aug. 3.-The Archduke Franz
Ferdinand, heir 10 the throne Of Austria
Hungary. is compelled by the Italian
courts to pay a big sum upon certain
property in Rome which he owns, but
has never seen. nor wishes to see.
The property is the famous Villa
PEste, which he inherited from the
Duke Of Modena. The archduke has
never visited the villa because he has
vowed never to enter Rome, which. as
a fervent Catholic, he considers the
prison OF the Pope"
The villa was leased to the late Car
dinal Hohenlohe, who found it neces-
sary to spend a large sum on improve
ments to make II habitable. The cardi-
nails heir claimed the sum spent by his
eminence from the archduke and has
won his suit. The archduke is In great
chagrin at having TO pay for repairs TO
property he has never used and does
not want.
