A DETECTIVES NARRATIVE
The Defense in Reply Inti- mated That the Story Had Already Been Offered to the United Railroads Pres For a Consideration.

San Francisco, June 4.-Charging that Calhoun was a party to a plot to manufacture evidence favorable to the officials of the United Railroads, Assistant District Attorney Heney in- troduced into the trial of the United Railroads president a new issue.
 Samuel F. Scott, during period of three years. successively employ ed by the United Railroads, the Southern Pacific and w. J. Burns, agent of the. prosecution, in positions of confidence was the witness who made the accusation. His testimony, although received by the defense with ridicule and contempt opened up one of the bitterest controversies in the long trial.
 Scott, who admitted that he be- came the agent of the prosecution since the trial commenced, said he had been approached by Joseph H. Handlon, a claim agent of the United Railroads in 1907 and had been re- quested to repeat before Calhoun a story manufactured by Handlon.
 Scott said that Handlon asked him to tell Calhoun that he (ScotD had been in the employ of Burns and that he had accompanied Spreckels and Heney in an automobile ride to q house. the location of which was not defined, and that Spreckels had watched through a transom the con- duct of two men who entered an ad- joining room. The witness said he had been requested to tell Calhoun that Spreckels subsequently joined the two men in the adjoining room and departed in their company.
 Stanley Moore, attorney for the de- fendant, who conducted the cross ex- animation of Scott admitted that the story was no surprise to the defense but he insinuated by his questions that Scott originated the narrative and tried in vain to sell it to the defense, after which he entered the employ of the prosecution.

THE ITALIANS ARE LEAVING
Consul General of Italy at San Francisco Addresses to Governor Gillett a Request Which Draws Out a Caus- tic Reply.

McCloud, June 4.-There is no indi- cation tonight that the lumber strikers will return to work or the company make any concessions. Following a conference between President Queal of the lumber company. Superintendent Spencer and Frank Levato one of the leaders of the strikers, the Italians held a mass meeting this afternoon and re- solved to recede from their demand for 25 cents increase per day. The orig inal demand was for fifty cents increase but Levato agreed to cut this in half.
 President Queal informed the delega- ton from the strikers that he would not allow them any increase and re- quested that those who do not desire to return to work to leave McCloud at once.
 Many of the strikers own the cabins in which they live and President Queal asked that they appoint a committee to fix valuation on these. If the price named is within reason, the company will take over the houses
 Convinced apparently that the strug- gle is hopeless. a number of the strik CTS asked for their time today and be- gan settling their accounts preparatory to leaving the camp. They are said to be depositors at the company bank to the extent of S2OO.OOO
 President Queal declared today that rather than yield to the strikers the company would close its plant down for the rest of the season if it was found to be impossible to secure hands to replace those who went out
 Levato was assured before attending the conference today that he would not be arrested on the warrant issued for him yesterday as a ringleader of the movement He stated that he was not in command of the strikers but merely appeared as their spokesman.

BRADSTREETS MORE CON-
 SENTATIVE.

New York, June 4.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 The business situation presents many favorable features, but there is still an underlying feeling of conserva- tism, and while less is heard of the influence of tariff changes on the fIf- ture of trade there is still apparent a disposition to await the outcome of the present legislative action and clear CT view as to the possible crop yield ings.
 Wool is quieter and reports from manufacturing branches of that trade and of silks and cotton are of consid- erable activity. Leather prices are strong. reflecting the strength in hides, but shoes, while being ordered freely, are not selling so heavily for the fall as was expected"

NEEDLES IS SAFE
 FOR ANOTHER YEAR
It Lost Only 300 Feet This Year in It's Contest With the Colorado.

Needles, June 4.-The crest of the flood raised the river six inches above normal. Today was the crisis. Timid folks built brush waterbreaks, alarmed at reports from Colorado that. two foot rise would reach Needles today. The danger for this season is past, and the river is gradually falling.
 The encrOachment upon the town gained 300 feet for the entire season. At this rate it would be years before the main part of Needles would be threatened. The danger lies in the plans of the government to construct a rock retaining wall on the Arizona shore, to protect the lowlands of the Indian reservation which are actually flooded

New York, June 4.-Dun''s Review tomorrow will say:
 Increased orders, expanding produc- tiOn. higher prices and wages and, in some lines, records approaching even the high figures before the panic; such are the reports that now come from the trade every week.
 The effects of the late crisis are still to be seen in the large commercial de- faults although this seems a passing condition as the aggregate of those in many ways was the smallest of any month this year.

PARDON BOARD ACTED
ON CASE OF INTEREST
Charles Scrutchin Appeared Before the
Board for Gilbert Engen Of Clear
water County.

Among the cases which the State
Board of Fardons considered at its
session Monday and Tuesday is that
of Gilbert Epgen, who was SEN
fenced from Clearwater county on
July g., 1908, to the state prison for
fifteen years, for the crime of muir
der in the second degree.
The crime for which Egen was
convicted was the killing of Ole
Stefenson, at Aida, in 1908, being
murder in the second degree. Engen
and Steffenson were drinking
together with a crowd in saloon at
Aida during the afternoon of June
10th, when they became involved in
a quarrel, during which Engen
stabbed Stefenson with a knife,
inficting wounds from which Stef-
fenson died.
There is general impression that
Engen was not altogether to blame
for the row and its serious results,
and although he was afterwards
tried and convicted, it is thought by
many residents of Clearwater county
that his sentence should be reduced
in it's severity.
c.. w. Scrutchin, Bemidji's colored
attorney, appeared before the board,
with the intention of having Engen's
sentence committed or five years
taken from the total of fifteen.
Engen having already served more
than five years.
Mr.. Scrutchin made an eloquent
plea in behalf of Engen and the
board took the case under advise
ment. The decision will probably
be rendered in a week or ten days

COURT AT GRAND RAPIDS
PROGRESSING STEADILY
Big Murder Trial Next Week. Heavy
Civil Calendar Ahead. Judge
Wright Presiding.

Good progress is being made at
the present term of the district court
for Itasca county at Ora nd Rapids,
over which Judge B. F. Wright of
Park Rapids is presiding, according
to a statement made yesterday after
noon by Attorney George E. Spear
of Grand Rapids, who was in the city
while on his way to International
Falls.
Tuesday evening the jury in the
case Of the state against George
Zigich, charged with assault in the
first degree, returned a verdict of
guilty in the second degree. Zigich
was charged with attempting to
shoot his wife in a boarding house
at Calumet. County Attorney Frank
Price prosecuted the case and Mr..
Spear appeared for the defendant.
The Brown-Danielson murder
cases, the most important on the
calender, will be tried next week.
In this case murder is alleged to
have been committed in saloon
brawl at Deer River on Christmas
Eve.
There is long list of civil cases
awaiting trial at Grand Rapids
which will be taken up as soon as
the criminal calendar is cleared.
An important civil case was
settled few days ago in chambers
at Grand Rapids when Judge Wright
issued an order for a re-survey of
part of the village of Cohasset:
In making the original plat of
Cohasset, the Surveyor several years
ago had placed one corner of the
village about twenty-five feet out of
the way and this has caused con.
siderable controversy in regard to
the limits of lots there. The case
has been pending for nine months
and the judges decision will now
provide a way for clearing the mat
ter up. Two large hotels, a half
dozen stores and several residences
will now be placed on the proper
lines.

Judge M. A. Spooner Of this city
went to Internati onal Falls last
evening to appear before referee
counsel for Henry w. Forrier of
Littlefork, who is contesting the
right of Hugh Mcintosh of Interna-
tional Falls to act as sheriff Of Kooch-
iching county.

died last November, just after being
reelected as sheriff of Koochiching
county. Mr.. Mcintosh was appointed
by the county board of that county
to act as sheriff during the unexpired
term of Mr.. Walsh. When the new
commissioners came into office in
January they appointed Henry w.
Forrier as sheriff for the term to
which Mr.. Walsh had been elected.
An interesting legal case developed
when Mr.. Mcintosh refused to
give up the Office to Mr.. Forrier.
Attorney George E. Spear of
Grand Rapids will represent Sheriff
Mcintosh during the hearing at In
ternational Falls.

UNIQUE SPORTING EVENT.
Western Athletes Will Race to the
Top Of a 6,O00-Foot Mountain.

Pasadena, CAL, April 15.-Crack ath-
letes from all over the West are en-.
tered in today's race to the top OF
Mount Wilson, north of this city. The
unique character of the event and it's
great success last year have aroused
much interest among the sports and
others attracted by endurance con-
tests and have drawn here runners
DESTROYS of making the 6,OOO-foot
ascent in quicker time than that made
by Joe King last year. There is little
doubt that Kings record, hour rs
minutes 30 seconds, will be broken
today.
Last years race consisted of the
ascent to the top of the mountain and
the descent, but this year the ascent
alone will count The descent is con
sidered too dangerous for men trying
to make time. On the way up and
down Mount Wilson the runners cross
numerous streams and wind around
canyons over 5000 feet deep.
AT least thirty men will face the
starter and will be sent away at inter-
walls Of three minutes. Only amateur
athletes are eligible to enter the race.
The winners will receive medals.
