Trial of Several Prominent Men Ee

Portland, Ore, Jan. 14.-John Fl.

Winlock w Steiwer and others,
charged with Illegally fencing govern.
ment land in Wheeler county, Ore, in
connection with what is known as the
Butte Creek Land, Live Stock and
Lumber company, have been placed
on trial before Judge W. II. Hunt in
the federal court.
II is alleged that 1880 acres of
public lands are embraced in the en-
closure, which was used by the cor
poration as pasture to the exclusion
of all homesteaders. Complaints from
the settlers in Wheeler county to the
effect that they had been driven out
of the country by threats and the
monopolistic operations of the Butte
Greek company resulted in indict-
ments beirg found against the de-
PENDANTS by the grand jury Although
Binger Hermann is charged jointly
with the others he will not be tried
at this time.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Five gentle man.
nered young men have put five tin
horn handbooks out of business and
are now being eagerly sought for by
the proprietors of the books, although
the police have not been asked to
join in the search.
A few days ago the five book
makers noticed that each had a new
customer. The young men played the
New Orleans races for several days
with varying success.
They always made their bets few
minutes before the result of the race
they were playing was received over
the wire. This attracted little atten-
ton, as The bets were generally lost
Then came the coup. One of the
young men went to a drug store in
the neighbo%hood and leased long
distance telephone wire to the New
Orleans racetrack for the entire after.

He obtained the winners of four
races before they could be telephoned
to the handbooks in the neighborhood
and each one of his friends would
rush out and place bets.
After winning $4,000 the young
men quietly disappeared.

DEPOT ANNEX DESTROYED
Fire at Kansas City Causes Loss OF
About $25o,oo0.

Kansas City, Jan. 1.-THE Union
station annex in Union avenue, ad'
joining the Union railway station, has
been destroyed by fire. The Union
station proper, one of Kansas City's
landmarks, was saved by the firemen
after a hard fight. The burned build
ing contained the receiving offices of
the Adams, Wells-Fargo and Pacific
Express companies, a branch of the
postoffice, the Offices of the Fred Har-
vey Eating House company, the Pull
man Palace Car company's linen room
and the Railway Mems Y. M. G. A.,
rooms. Fhe loss is estimated at close
to $250,000.
The fire spread with such rapidity
that the firemen were able to save but
500 sacks of common mail and a small
portion of the express matter. Twenty
five sacks of registered mail and some
other matter were destroyed, together
with a great number of express pack
ages. A large supply of linen in the
Pullman rooms and the library, fur
nishings and apparatus in the Y M. c..
A. rooms were destroyed. The Y M.
c. A. quarters had been partially fur
nished by Miss Helen Gould.

TROOPS 70 QUIT G0LDFIELD
Commission Says Governor Sparks
Misstated Situation.

Washington, Jan. l4.-President
Roosevelt has determined to withdraw
the federal troops from Goldfield, New,
shortly after the legislature begins its
special session this week
This intention was made known at
the White House when the report of
, the special investigating committee
was made public, The report says:
1.-The conditions did not support the
general allegations in the governors
request for troops. nor were his spe
cific statements established to any
such extent as to justify his use OF
those statements for the purpose OF
getting federal troops"
In conclusion the commissions re.
port says:
But we also most firmly believe
that upon the assembling of the legis.
lature, or within a few days there.
after, the troops should be removed,
regardless of any request for their re-
tentiOn that may be made by either
the legislature or the governor of Ne
vada, it being essential that the state

fact that there will, at that date, be
thrown upon it, and it alone, the
primary responsibility of keeping or,
der and that recognizing this respon.
sibility it may take such action as is
the duty of the state and as will be
sufficient in the premises"
Reviewing the conditions leading up
to the present strike and since the
strike began, Nov 27 last, the report
draws this conclusions:
THE action of the mine operators
warrants the belief that they had de.
termined upon a reduction in wages
and the refusal of employment to
members of the Western Federation
of Miners, but that they feared to
take this course of action unless they
had the protection of federal troops
and that they accordingly laid a plan
to secure such troops and then put
their programme into effect"

FLEET AT RIO !ANEIRO.
BattIeships Cover One-third of Dis.
tance to Frisco.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 14-The Amer.
lean fleet of sixteen battleships has
entered the port of Rio Janeiro after a
passage from Port of Spain, Trinidad,
of more than 5000 miles, unmarried by
serious accident, replete with interest
ing incidents and ending with a royal
welcome from the thousands that had
gathered to greet the visitors.
The fleet has now covered about
4,6U0 miles, about a third of the dis
tance Of the voyage to San Francisco.
Outside of Rio Janeiro a Brazilian
fleet, consisting of three cruisers, ac-
companied by the American tender
Yankton, met the American battle
ships off Cape Frio and after an ex-
change of greetings steamed with
them along the coast into a roadstead
A hearty welcome was extended to
the officers and men by the minister
of marine in the name of the Brazilian
government and the navy. Bands
played and whistles blew, with the
waving of many flags, as the Amer
lean ships steamed proudly through
and dropped their anchors.

SEPARATED FORTY YEARS
Couple Reunited After an Accidental
MEETING,

Chicago, Jan. 14.-After having
been divorced for forty years an acci-
dental meeting brought Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin Ackley, the latter for some
years music teacher in Chicago, to-
gether again and now they are en-
joying their second honeymoon.
Benjamin Ackley and Miss Ellen A

Mrs. Ackley remained in Minneap-
oils for year studying music. Later
she came to Chicago, where she

WORKING FOR CANTEEN.
Association Favoring Cause Busy Es'
tablishing Branches.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE governing
board of the Army Canteen associa-
tion, an association of men who hope
to induce congress to repeal the law
which prohibits the sale of beer and
light wines at army posts and soldiers
homes, is taking active steps to or
ganize branches of the association in
every state in the Union that a united
pressure may be brought to bear on
congress to restore the canteen, as
recommended by practically every Off
Ger in the army.
General George B. Loud, a prom
inent member of the Grand Army of
the Republic, is president of the asso-
citation. Major General Fred ID. Grant
and many other prominent army Off
GERS are giving the movement their
hearty support.

athat, Judged by any court, the prosecu-
tion believed the homicide could be
explained as "premeditated, deliber-
ate and cowardly murder"
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw listened to the
prosecutors discussion of the actual
details of the tragedy with tense
drawn features. Josiah Thaw, the
brother, and Mrs. George L. Carnegie,
sister, completed the usual family
group. Thaw sat with his eyes fixed
upon the prosecutor, his head rested
upon his right hand.
w. Ii. Volkening, a draughtsman,
was the first witness called. His
diagram of the scene of the killing,
which the prosecution used through
out the first trial, was reintroduced in
evidence A year ago this witness was
not cross-examined On this occasion
Mr.. LittletOn, for the defense, ques-
toned him at length as to all the
physical details of Madison Square
Garden at the time of the drawing.
No motion to exclude witnesses was
made and young Mrs. Thaw and the
other members of the defendants fam
lily listened to the evidence for the
first time.
Immediately after the first witness
had concluded his testimony all wit
nesses but medical experts were ex-
cluded. DR.. John T. Deemar the
Thaw family physician, was in the
courtroom and will be one of the first
witnesses for the defense.
AS the second witness of the prose-
oution Mr.. Garvan examined James
Clinch Smith, who last year testified
In rebuttal, having been abroad when
the state presented its direct case.
In great detail Smith described the
entry Of Thaw and his party With
the defendant was Mrs. Evelyn Thaw,
Thomas McCaleb and Truxton Beale.
Mr.. Smith repeated his conversation
with Thaw, which began by the latter
saying he could only get three seats
on the roof and intended strolling
himself

boaily. Thaw. asked him II he was

WIRE LINES DAMAGED
Sleet Storm Cuts Off Chicago
From the Outer World.
OLD METHODS RESORTED TO
Fire Departments Alarm System Is
Knocked Out and Members Are
Placed in Watch Towers to Keep a
Lookout for Flames.

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Chicago's tele
graphic communication with the outer
world, which practically was para
lyZed by a severe sleet storm, is slow
ly being restored to normal condi
tions. The construction departments
worked all night repairing poles and
broken wires. Emergency cables
were sent out by the telegraph com,
panies and were strung along fences
in the rural districts.
Two hundred poles in the vicinity
of Grand Crossing were carried to
the ground and a number along the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
company's Western division. There
was less damage to lines of the Hi
nois Central, which left open com
munication to some points in the
South. Telegraphic service of all
roads, however, was more or less af
fected.
Considerable inconvenience also
was caused to patrons of the long dis.
tance telephone service, many wires
being blown down.
With fire alarm and police telephone
devices practically out of commission
the old watch tower system-used
only upon extreme occasions--was re.
sorted to. All day and throughout the
night firemen were stationed either in
the towers surmounting station houses
or at vantage point that would best
enable them to detect a blaze in the
vicinity in order that the department
might respond promptly.
The storm gave employment to
many idle men and work to all avail.

STATES CASE BRIEF
Quickly Subn IS Evidence Of the
Murder Of Stanford White.
OPENING STATEMENT SHORT
Assistant District Attorney GarVan
Tells of Harr. Thaw's Crime and
Declares II Was "Premeditated, De-
liberate and Cowardly."

New York, Jan. 14.-The prosecu-
ton in the trial of Harry X. Thaw
for the murder of Stanford White has
completed the presentation of its
case. Less than four hours were oc-
cupied, only a few witnesses being
examined. The defense will now
have its inning and the real fight of
the prosecution will be made in re-
buttal.
In outlining the prosecutions case
TO the jury Mr.. Garvan said, in part:
The defense in this case is insan-
ity. The material facts are admitted.
Insanity, let me assure you, is not to
be defined what you or l might think.
1t is not what physicians or metaphy-
sicians may tell us; or what scientists
or pseudOscientists may describe. In
sanity as we have to deal with has
been defined by the legislature of New
York The law is wiser than we are.
We must obey it and live under the
law. That law says that the only per-
son excused from criminal responsible
ity is he who is so deficient of reason
that he does not know the nature or
quality of his act; that the act is
wrong.
With this definition and this defini-
tion alone of the law | ask you to
judge of all the acts of this defendant
the night of June 25, 1906, which is
the night on which he killed Stanford
White"
Mr.. Garvan dwelt at length upon the
conversation Thaw had on the roof
garden with James Clinch Smith, a
brother-in-law of Stanford White. The
conversation, he declared, was entire
ly sane and had occurred just a few
moments before the killing. Eight
subjects, from Wall street to ocean
travel, were discussed in a normal way.
After describing the killing of White
Mr.. Garvan declared, in conclusion,

SOCIALIST DEMONSTRATION
Seventy Thousand People Participate

Berlin, Jan. 14-The determination
of the socialists to secure direct uni

Indignation against Chancellor Won
Buelows curt declaration refusing
their demand, gave rise to an unusual
scene and a monster popular demon
stration, accompanied by disorders, in
the streets of The Prussian capital, in
which 10000 organized socialists par
ticipated, while 10000 sympathizers
from time TO time actively joined in
the manifestations.
One OF the most remarkable fea-
lures of the uprising was the number
of women who engaged in the demon
stration aud they appeared even more
earnest in their activities than the
men.
