 ON TRIAL The Public and Press on the Outside
German Morals Not to be Lowered by Stories Ot Princely Misconduct.

Berlin, June 29-Prince Philip Zu Elenberg appeared today. before a judge and jury to stand trial on of perjury in connection with the re- cent, scandal, and revelations which have created such sensation. The proceedings are likely to be greatly prolonged, owing to the large number of witnesses to be examined, while in terruptions are not unlikely owing to the precarious condition of the health of the prince. Large crowds assem- bled today, both outside the hospital where the prince has been under sur veillance since he was arrested and in the street fronting the court.
 Although the case is public. few per sons besides newspaper men are ad- mitted Among witnesses present were Count Kuno von Moltke; Lawyer Bernstein, who defended Harden, and various tradespeople from Starnberg and Leibenberg, where the prince has country seats During the swearing of the jury which was selected in a very few minutes. and the preliminary formalities connected with the reading of the charge, those already within the court room were permitted to remain.
 The judge delivered an address con- corning the duty of the jury, and di- rected it not to take into consideration the social position of the accused, but to deal out justice without fear. He warned the witnesses concerning the penalty attached to false evidence.
 The priDcp made a replx- in a hroIr- en voice. Then the state attorneys made a demand for the exclusion of the public and the press, in conse- quence of the evidence endangering public morals. The judge had the court room cleared. not to be reopened until the verdict is reached.

The Southern Delegations Will Strongly
 Urge It Upon the Convention
The nti-InjunctiOn Flank Continues to be the Gen. ter of Interest--The Name of Governor Chamberlain of Oregon Looms Up for Vice President.

Denver, June 29.-A fight over the anti-injunction plank in the democratic platform is not the only struggle in which the committee on resolutions and possibly the convention itself may be involved. It developed today that the prohibition question will be brought to the front and desperate effort will be made to have a plank declaring in its favor placed in the platform. It is claimed that the movement has hacking from a number of southern delegations from which states recently passed prohibition laws, and it is de- Jared confidently that if the democratic national platform does not contain a prohibition plank it will only be for the reason that the hardest kind of fight ing has been unable to secure its adOp- tion.
 Such members of the national com mittee as have discussed the matter are a unit in saying that the wording of the injunction plank which will be in the platform shall leave no possible doubt in the mind of any reader as to where the party stands on the question. It is not generally believed that the dHli- i-lilJuAitllpH ItSOAuNlpil VIII pIONlut for trials by jury in the cases of con tempt of court, or favor in any way measures which might be construed as interfering withl the prerogatiyes of the federal court.
 The vice presidential situation re- mains. to all appearances, just where it was yesterday. although the boom of Lieutenant Governor Chanler of New York seems weakened somewhat. His name is not mentioned as promi- nently as two days ago. There was only one new name mentioned today as a vice presidential possibility. This was Governor George E. Chamberlain of oregon. He found much favor with some of the party leaders and 1t is ex- pected that he will be personally ac- ceptable to Bryan, if the latter is nom- mated
 There have been reports of new con tests to be filed with the national com mittee involving forty-five seats but of this number the contests actually filed relate to thirteen seats. Six of these are from the District of Columbia. The contest having been filed today, seven are from the first. second, fourth, fifth and sixth Pennsylvania congressional districts. In the first and second dis tricts however, only one seat in each is ju dispute.

MURDERED BY
 DYNAMITtRS
Four Killed In Mysterious
 Frisco Explosion
The Name of Gallagher Cautiously Figures In the
 Instance of Dynamiting.

san Francisco, June 29.-A mysteri- ous explosion was followed by a fire which occurred at an early hour today at Diamond and Chenery streets, caus- ing the death of four persons and ser iously injuring three others. It com pleteIy destroyed two buildings, and caused loss of $30,000. The dead are: John Sweeney, aged 30. Mrs John Sweeney, aged 30; Ellen Sweeney, aged II years and Antone Dismeyer, aged years.
 he injured are: Mrs. Mary Disney CT, aged r; Fred Sweeney, aged 24; Freiderich Dismeyer, aged 24; Thomas Hart, fireman.
 The explosion took place in a build ing occupied as a grocery store and saloon by John Sweeney and $. F. Johnson. Both were closed at the time of the disaster. Sweeney lived just above the grocery store and the Dis meyer family resided in the upper flat. All the victims were in bed at the time. The elder Sweeney, his wife, daughter and little Antone Dismeyer were instantly killed. The baby's body was blown through window and was lOuuu III tree. FTtQ SWecllcN Was hurled through another window and terribly bruised. Frederick Dismeyer made his escape but rushed back into the burning house and carried his wife out through the flames, both being badly burned. Mrs. Dismeyer is not expected to recover. Antone Dismeyer, Sr., carried his mother out of the house and both escaped injury.
 The cause of the explosion as well as the motive for the crime is un- known. Johnson, the saloonkeeper, says there was a fight in his place last night and he thinks that someone involved in the trouble is the author of the outrage. The fact that a man named T. J. Gallagher held a joint lease of the saloon with Johnson led to the rumor that the build belonged to former Supervisor J. l.. Gallagher, the principal witness in the graft prosecu- tion whose houses in Oakland were re- gently dynamited, but this proved un- true. The former supervisor has a brother of the same name as the lessee of the saloon who is no relation. De- tectiye Burns thinks the men who caused the explosion may have con fused the tWo men. This is admitted however to be merely a surmise and the affair remains a mystery.
 Captain Kelly, of the detectives, who visited the scene during the afternoon does not think dynamite was used Captain Kelly thinks that acids, chem icals or gasoline stored in the grocery may have caused the explosion.

OFFER WAS
 WITHDRAWN
And Hypothetical Question
 Was Voted Upon
With Complete Unanimity the People Rejected the Erstwhile Proposition.

There was a great oUtpouring of the electors of school district No. 1. in the Central school house last night. The upper room was crowded to suf- location. nearly everybody standing because he took up less room that way and for the further reason that by so doing if tall enough he could once in while catch a glimpse of the chair man, or somebody else, and make a fair guess at what was going on. The gathering also filled the corridors and stairways and the overflow congested the schoolyard and sidewalk.
 Technically speaking the electors Of the district voted on nothing and car ried it unanimously with 337 votes. Actually however, there was an eX- precision of sentiment indicating a un- animity of opinion that was most spec tacular. It was even more than that, and in one respect it was most grati flying and that is. that for once in the forty years since the settlement Of Phoenix began, the people. that is all of those who expressed themselves at all. were in complete accord. They were in fighting harmony on what seemed to be an almost vitriolic oppo sition to the project of selling the Central block for $6O,OO0. or any other amount. Two kinds of printed ballots fairly carpeted the room. One of them said Vote No" and the other said NO Sale Central School Block" So pronounced was the sentiment after the meeting got fairly under way that the matter of $60,O0O seemed to be lost sight of and it is doubtful if the assemblage would have voted to sell the block for $500, ,0C0 in it's temper at that time
 IL was not longer a question of price, but question of no sale. The gath ering was not entirely unanimous though the ensuing vote was, nor did the vote of 337 indicate anywhere near the number of people who had been inspired to attend the meeting. But the 337 by far outnumbered the others, who for the dual reason that they believed the vote was only an expression of opinion, and not a legal

MUST BE ALL OVER.
Since Fl Paso Has Abandoned the
 Revolution.

Fl PasO, June 29.-According to in formation from a reliable source, of ficial advices have been received al Juarez. across the Rio Grande river from this city, to the effect that 250C federal troops sent to Torreon, Goa huila, have taken the field in an ac- tive effort to surround the parties believed to be responsible for the at tacks on Viesca and Hacienda Mata- moros.
 General Villar of the IhirG military zone, in command of the troops in the field, according to the Mexico City Record, arriving here tonight, said: "The war department has left it en- tirely to his descretion to conduct the campaign and to distribute various forces over the field"
 Villar's plan of campaign is reported to be to hem in if possible members of the bands which attacked Viesca and MatamOros and to close in the forces until they have surrounded the entire party. With this end in view it is re- ported that he sent out from Torreon the major part of the cavalry and a detachment of infantry

They declare that the last of the revolution ists will be overtaken in a week or ten days and that the forces of the federal government will be able to keep the situation well in hand
 Passengers arriving on the Mexican Central tonight from Torreon say the situation there is greatly improved since the arrival and distribution of troops. The guards established at business houses and homes have been removed, and a general tone of confi- dence in the militia is shown in the city. The townspeOple generally are quieter than they have been since the report reached them that an army of invasion was headed their way.
 The troops under Colonel Ballerestos, which arrived on Sunday at Juarez have been distributed about the city. A detachment Of fifty troopers was sent out toda-- to Casa Grande

City of Mexico, June 29-Up to this evening no news of any sort has been received at the capital to indicate that there has been a repeti- tion of the disorders similar to those which occurred in the towns of Nies- ca and Las Vacos. On the contrary, to the departments of the interior, war and state comes a report that absolute quiet reigns in the region where the two small bands of mal- contents were operating.
 Through private telegrams of in quiry received here this morning it was made evident that untruthful and sensational reports relating to alleged captures and assaults were in circulation in the United States. One story was to the effect that the town of Jiminez, a place of about 11.0O0 inhabitants, had been assaulted and captured by revolutionists. By the interior department and at the office of the president of the Mexican Cen tral railroad the correspondent of the Associated Press was assured that the report was absolutely untrue.
 Jiminez is a terminal point of one
  traI railroad in the southern part of the state of Chihuahua. There is a village of the same name in the state of Coahuila, near the scene of the Las Vacos raid Word from Tor reon declared that that place was as quiet as any well organized city of the United States.
 The entire campaign against the malcontents is under the direction of the secretary of the interior, Corral, who is also vice president of the re- public. Mir. Corral explained that his department had taken charge of the affair because the policing of the re- public is under its supervision. The government is considering the ma rauders as common criminals, and chasing them with rurales, the mounted police of the country.
 T say to the Associated Press what I said in the beginning" said the wee president today. The trouble in the state of Coahuila is not revolution nor is it the commence ment of one. A few ignorant men of the lower class listened to the words of certain anarchistic Mexicans now residing in the United States and thereupOn set about to rob, murder and pillage Not a man of the bet ter class joined their ranks and the number is insignificant. They are now hiding somewhere in the wilds of Durango or Coahuila. The rurales will catch them and they will be tried as common criminals
