ADAMS TRIAL REcrNs.
Fight Over Admission Of Confession
rs Evidence.

AE Evidence.
GRAND JUNCTION, Col, July s.
With the jury completed, nine OF
whom are farmers. and only the open
ing statement Of the defense and
prosecution made. taking OF testi-
mony began in trial Of Steve Adams,
accused Of the assassination OF Ar
thur Collins, the mine manager, dur
the strike troubles at Telluride sew
eral years ago.
District Judge Shaekleford. sitting
In the case. granted the application
Of the attorney for the defense to
have the state summon Adams wit
nesses by allowing $500 for that pur-
pose. In his opening statement for
the prosecution Congressman H. H.
Hogg OF Colorado said:
THE shot that killed Collins was
fired from a shotgun loaded with
buckshot. We will account for IL
Of these buckshot. Nobody was seen
that night.
The next spring a man by the
name of Webb, whom we will pro-
duce, found shotgun hidden behind
clump of bushes in a gulch near
Pandora. This gun contained cart
ridges of the same guage as the emp
ty shell, loaded with buckshot. This
was the last known until additional
evidence was presented by tais de-
PENDANT himself. ! viii say"
We object, your honor, " interrupt
ed Attorney Hilton. chief counsel for
the defense. Hilton then began an
argument as to the admissibility of
the alleged confession, upon which
document the prosecution bases its
entire case. The court overruled the
objection in SO far as it pertained to
the opening address.
The question of the admissibility
of Adams confession same up again
when the prosecution attempted to
question Bulkely Wells, former adj
jutant general of Colorado, who was
on the witness stand, as to it's con-
tents.
Attorney Hilton for the defense
objected vigorously to any statement,
on the ground that the document was
signed by Adams under threats and
promise of immunity from prosecu-
ton. Attorney Hilton charged that
Bulkely Wells, Detective James Nc
Parland and the sheriff of the county
in Idaho where Adams was confined
in jail awaiting trial conspired TO
brighten Adams into placing his sig
nature to the document which pur-
ported to be voluntary confession of
the murder of Collins, as alleged.
The matter was argued for several
hours by attorneys for both sides. the
prosecution denying the charges OF
Hilton, and the court adjourned un-
til tomorrow. when 1t was announced
a decision will be rendered upon the
question of admissibility.
During the morning session several
witnesses were examined, for the
purpose of showing the manner of
Collins death. The shotgun alleged
to have been used by the assassin
was offered in evidence and identified
by a witness who stated that shells
found in the vicinity of the Collins
home and shot taken from the. dead
body of Collins were fired from this
gun or one similar to It.

In Two Straight Rounds Spokane
Man Goes Down.
Joe Heinrich and Charley Stone
met on the mat again last evening at
the Princess rink, and this time the
victory went to Stone.
Both men had been training for
the event and were in excellent con-
dition. Heinrich had won over Stone
in a similar contest about a week ago,
and it was the belief of his supporters
that he would again win, but Stone
was too much for him. Stone is a
larger man, and stronger, yet it was
not strength that won him the con-
test last evening, but wrestling skill
and science, and his victory was easy.
Both the falls were short. The first
lasted but four minutes and the sec
ond only three and one-half. The
Spokane man put up a hard battle,
and, while he is mighty clever little
wrestler, he is not able to successful
ly contest with Stone. Dr. Henry
Klussman, of Spokane, refereed the
contest. A fair crowd was in attend
ance.

No Injunction is
 Granted Berlin Bros

In the Jefferson chancery court yesterday Chancellor John M. Elliott denied the petition of Berlin Broth CTS, who sought an injunction to pre- vent the American Excelsior Laundry Company from using thirty feet of State street, a privilege granted them by the City Council, for the purpose of erecting boiler house for their laundry plant. The old boiler house of that concern was destroyed by the cavinS river bank two weeks ago. Attorneys Bridges, Woodbridge and Gnatt, representing the petitioners, filed motion for an appeal to the Supreme court and the appeal was granted Berlin Brothers contend that the establishment of boiler house in the rear of their stables will interfere with their business; that the steam from the plant will frighten their horses and that in using the street the laundry company will pre- vent traffic there.

He fail ed to identify his own handwriting at times, but Judge Jones succeeded lin rattling him so completely that he trembled and squirmed in his chair pitifully. Tn the course of the cross
 examination Judge Jones showed that the lists of residents, furnished by IONeill was defective in many instan- ces, Many houses were overlooked in his census taking and no small number of his entries were incorrect. In one instance it was shown that he had listed the name of a girl six |years old Custer made a better wit ness for the petitioners, but his lists were also picked to pieces by Judge Jones. The hearing will be resumed this morning at 9 o'clock and it will require the entire day to hear all the testimony.

The nearing of the petitions, flied some months ago in the county court asking that no dramshops be per mitted to operate within three miles of the First Baptist church in this city, was begun before Judge James Gould Monday afternoon. The court room was crowded with ministers, in sympathy with the movement and others, including q number of saloon men who have employed Attorneys Taylor and Jones to represent them at the hearing. Crawford and Hooker are counsel for the petitioners.
 Judge Gould ruled out three peti- tions, filed by the anti-saloonists Sat urday, on the ground that he had in. structed the petitioners to file their petitions on or before September IA. His ruling was made after motion was filed by counsel for the anti saloonists for the consolidation of all petitions filed by them.
 The cour: began hearing testimony as 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, when the census enumerators, employed by the anti-saloonists were put on the witness stand to testify as to the

MAJOR M. l.. WALKER
 VISITS THE CITY
New Engineer Who Succeeds Capl. ConnOr Inspected River Front and Left for His New Headquarters River Work In Progress.

Major NJ. l.. Walker, who was ap- pointed by the War Department ai Washington more than month ago to succeed Captain William Connor, engineer in charge of this district ferred to Washington, arrived in Pine Bluff yesterday from the Philippines where he has been for several months and he took an afternoon train for Memphis to enter upon his new duties there.
 Major Walker inspected the river front here and estimated the great amount of damage, which was re- gently done by the caving of the river bank. He issued instructions for the immediate repair of the revetments along the river front and the Govern ment fleet, which came here several weeks ago, Is now at work rebuilding the revetments and installing new dykes! Major Walker left Captain William Parkin in charge here.
 ./The first work of improving the river front at this place is being car cied out at the mouth of Harding s drain, commonly known as the ravine This is the most vital and dangerous point dn front of this city. The re- cent destruction of the Boyd point opposite this city leaves territory in that section of the city at the mercy of the current of the river and the banks there will be made safe before any other work Is done here. Several barges and the government boat, C. B. Reese, are anchored there and
 many willow mattresses are being placed along the bank at the ravine's mouth and at the foot of Tennessee and Louisiana streets. They are be- ing sunk with rock and will protect, the territory East of the ravine, In which is included the properties of the Cotton Belt railroad.

GOULD AND CALDWELL RETURN TO THE CITY
Are Highly Elated Over Results Ot. tained in The Nations Capital Will Make Report in Writing as to Their Work There--Big Emrr- .ency Fund.

Declaring that they had accomplish ton, where they went to secure im- radiate appropriations for the pur- bose of repairing revetments and re- building dykes along the river front here. County Judge James Gould re- turned 10 Pine Bluff yesterday and Secretary J. l.. Caldwell, of the Pine day. A report of their work will be prepared by Dr. Caldwell today and will tell in detail what might be ex- pected from the national government in the nature of aid in local river work.
 Judge Gould stated that an emer- gency fund of $50,000 has been prom ised Pine Bluff by the War Depart ment. He and Dr. Caldwell would have remained longer ill Washington, had they deemed it necessary. They were delegates to the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, but Judge Gould stated yesterday that they did not attend the Congress as much as they desired, because they were con- tinually working for local relief and spent most of their time conferring with Secretary of War Luke D.. Wright and others who had the local river situation in their hands He is highly elated over the results ob- tained, however, and declares that a large appropriation, in addition to the emergency fund of $50.000 will in all probability be made for the protec- ton of Pine Bluff from the ravages of the Arkansas river.
