Roosevelt Enemy to Peace.

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-Tnat
President Roosevelt, winner OF tc"
Nobel peace prize. should be consid-
cred an enemy of peace is astontsl-
ing the members of the Friends OF
Peace association today.
Prof. William Isaac Hull OF
Swarthmore college is responsible for
the statement, and the members OF
the local branch Of the organiza iion
are indignant at what they term an
attack ON one Of their idols.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the most
dangerous enemy to the cause OF In
ternatinaI peace to be found In this
country" declared Prof. Hull In az
address before a select audience oi
the association last night.
He followed this up with the
statement that Capt Richmond Pear
SON Hobson and Rear Admiral Rob-
lev d. Evans, who are among tine
foremost advocates Of the expansion
az the country's fighting strength
are greatly thwarting the enorts De.
ing made to develop modern ideas ol
peace.

BOOZE FIGHTER
fORGETs name


ClaimiaS that he has forgotten
hts name. and unable to stats how
long he has been In the city, An un-
known man Of well-to-do appear
snce and past 50 years Of ago, occu-
pies q room In the st. Paul lodging
house. suffering from the effects Of
a protracted spree.
The mans presence and condition
was nrst made known this morning,
when DR.. c. C. Phillips was called to
render medical services. After
spending some time with the stran-
ger, DR.. Phillips reported the case to
Chief of Police Hayes. who has since
endeavored to establish the man g
identity. A careful search Ut his
clothing failed to offer the slightest
clue and the many conflicting stories
told have left the police baffied.
At one time the stranger has
claimed to be George Duffy, member
Of the police department OF Boise,
and at another time he has stated he
Is engaged in the livery stable busi-
ness at Boise. In all conversa tions
he has claimed Boise as his residence
and at one time state he resided on
the corner OF Sixth and Grove streets
with his wife and daughter. In tax
ing OF his Boise residence he has
mentioned the names of prominent
Boise people with whom he claims
acquaintance, but when confronted
with one of these gentlemen who
happened to be in the city, he was
unable to recognize his alleged
friend and In turn was unknown to
the Boise citizen.
A further interesting feature ID
the fact that the man asked for the
assistance Of the police department
in establishing his identity. and has
since informed Chief Hayes that he
had removed everything from mis-
belongings that would reveal his
name. This information was i'm.
parted at the time he stated he wal
George Duffy. but Chief Hayes hal
been informed that Duffy is q mar
not more than IS years of age.
In all conversations the strange,
states he has been robbed Of a sun
Of money ranging from $500 tt
$11O0. apparently as the fancy
strikes him. but is unable to offel
and suggestion as to whether the !osl
was sustained in Lewiston or before
srriving here. Chief Hayes has beer
able to account for the man as earl!
as Monday night. when he frst Sc
cured a room in the city. and ha
sent number OF messages to Bois
, and outside cities in a hope OF az
certaining his identity.

PRESS AND RAILROAD CON-
: PANIES-vALUE OF FRUIT E6'
Tu(ArED AT $060, ,000.

The fruit season of 1908 in Lewis
ton.C Charleston valley has practically
ended. and a summary Of shipments
will be OF interest to all, and the sum
total of nearly 100000 pounds will
be startling even to many who had
thought they had line on the de-
velopment of the industry In this
valley.
The Evening Teller is indebted to
the officials of the express companies
and the railroads for the following
summary of the fruit shipments for
the season Of 1908. There were sent
out from Lewiston of all fruits ex-
cept cherries, 2OO,667 boxes, having
a total weight of 4,12S,63S pounds.
The cherry shipment amounted to
G6,16O boxes, whose weight aggre-
gated 661, 900 pounds. This inciud-
ed 22 straight cars of cherries, ~
by freight and IL by express.
This total means approximately
$50 straight carloads, the returns on
which, at prevailing prices totalleo
about $25O,000. To this must De
added the amount used for home
consumption, which is estimated at
fifth of the freight and express ship
ments. and the amount that went
tn the three canneries. The aggre'
gate is ample evidence that the lrui'
industry of Lewiston-Clarkston val
low ia fast enhancing In value.

The circumstances preceding the

CROWDS ATTEND
MURDER TRIAL
Roth PARTIES WELL KNOWN ON
CAMAS PRAIRIE - REGULAR
VENIRE OF IS EXHAUSTED
SPECIAL VENIRE DRAWN.

Announcement that the district
court would begin today the trial OF
Clyde Shaffer for the murder Of Jo-
seph Scott brought out an unusual
crowd Of spectators at the court
room this morning. Though many
must have known. that the day would
be spent in the empanelling Of q jury
and that the actual testimony could
not be entered into, still many were
present to hear the opening state
ments Of counsel and to follow the
process Of selecting q jury. 49,
The fact that the parties wer"
both we'll known citizens In the
county and the further fact Of the
mystery of the motive for the killing
has created a wide interest. and
many out-of-town people not con-
nected with the case as witnesses
will follow the developments with
close observance of the details and
will, from time to time be present
at the hearing Of the case. There
are already "a witnesses subpoenaed
in the case, and the total will proba-
bly, reach so before the end of the
trial.
The morning was spent in the Sc
lection of the jury. The questions
by counsel are very searching ana
exhaustive and some estimate, OF the
task in hand may be had when II
Is considered that the regular panel
of is was exhausted this morning
end special venire Of "a sub
poenaed for this afternoon and no
juryman is yet safe from challenge.
The allegation against the defend
ant, Clyde Shaffer is that on Sun
day, April 26, he murdered his cou-
sin, Joe Scott. Before the coroner's 9
jury Shaffer confessed the killing
and laid claim to firing in self-de-
fense. He said that Scott was driv-
ing stock through his fathers field
and that he came from the house TO
demonstrate with him, and IN the
quarrel that followed he did the
shooting after Scott had started TO-
ward him in a threatening manner.
He fired twice. and the examina.
ton Of the body Of the deco. SEQ
shows that both shots had taken er-
feet, one entering the cheek and tne
other piercing the head from poin'
behind the ear. After the body was
buried It was exhumed to sno"
whether or not the contention OF tins
cefense that Scott kept advancing
after the frst shot could be main
tained or whether either shot was
not fatal. Scott was In his snir'
sleeves. and examination proved hin
unarmed.
