municated to the Palace hotel and

A CONCESSION MADE
TO |NSURGENT
FORCES
LOVER HOUSE OF CONGRESS FL
NALLY CONSENTS TO AMEND
ONE OF lis RULES.

Washington, March las a con-
cession to its insurgents" the house
adopted resolution today amending
the rules so as to provide for a call
of committees on Wednesday of each
week, after affording members an op-
portunity to get bills passed which
otherwise might not have been pos
sible.
The vote resulted, yeas 16S, nays
1872, present and paired 2. Mr.. CLARK
(Mo) requested a recapitulation
which Speaker Cannon refused, saying
it was a matter left to the discretion
of the chair.
Isn't it the useage?" Mr.. Hepburn
asked.
1T is not the usage" the speaker
replied.
Il never in % years heard it de-
MED" hotly asserted Mr.. Hepburn,
amid democratic applause.
There are" the speaker said with
warmth, "many things that the gen
tleman from Iowa has not heard,
either affirmed or denied"
The speaker said, however that in
order not to have a shadow cast upon
the use of his discretion, he would di-
rect recapitulation, which was done.
The recapitulation disclosed no
change.
The 'insurgents" then decided to
carry on their fight for further re-
forms on the opening day of the new
congress. When a member of the
rules committee, as customary, offers
a motion that the rules of the last
congress be adopted, and moves the
previous question, the insurgents"
propose to make a stand for the
changes they desire.

STATE IN CARMACk CASE DIS.
POSES OF WITNESS TO
THE DEFENSE.
HACGLE OVER THE TERMS
clan to Testify for Defense Pro-
Vided Latter viii Pay Cost Of
Autopsy the Doctor Performed Upon
Dead Man-Oppostion Buys"

Nashville, Tenn, March The
spectacle OF counsel on one side not
only selling a witness to the opposi-
tion, but haggling over the terms was
an incident today in the Cooper trial.
The subject of the transaction was
DR.. McPheeters-G Glasgow, who had been
employed by the prosecution to per-
form an autopsy on Senator Carmacks
body. He did so, and reported his
findings to the prosecution. He was
subpoenaed by the state, but was not
used The defense learned OF the
autopsy and summoned the doctor.
DIR. Glasgow told counsel for the de-
fense that his services as an expert had
been retained by the state and that
he would not discuss the case except
with the attorney general Then At
torney General McCarn proposed that
If the defense would pay the state the
costs of the autopsy. including Dr..
Glasgow fee, the state would waive
it's rights.
Judge Hart said the defense wanted
ito see the goods" before it bought
and offered to confer with DR.. Glas-
gov. To this the prosecutors entered
al einphdtlC veto. ray Wnether you
use him or not" they said
There was another hurried confer
ence and the defense bought the goods
in the bag and DIR. Glasgow became its
witness. The significance of his tes-
timony was that any one of the three
wounds was necessarily and instantly
fatal and that if the senator did not
fire the first shots he could not have
fired at all.
The other chief witness was s. J.
Binnings, who claimed to have seen
Senator Carmack lingering his re-
volver and testing the cylinder a few
moments before the shooting was be-
gun.

Helena, March 1.-Senate Bill No.
IS, providing for the creation of lrrl-
cation districts, and the issue of bonds,
was favorably acted upon in commit
tee of the whole in the house today,
after all of the amendmentse agreed
upon the Bitter Root people and the
committee on irrigation had been
agreed to and in addition, a number of
others which We're prepared by local
attorneys representing people opposed
to the bill as it was originally passed
by the senate. On the final vote in
committee of the whole, on reporting
the bill favorably, it was so ordered by
a vote of 43 to 13.
Woody was the first to offer an
amendment to Senate Bill No. is. He
moved to strike out of section 2, lines
AZ, 4S and A, which reads as follows:
Mere error or omission in the de-
scription of any lands in the names Of
any of the holders of title or evidence
Of title to lands shall not operate to
render invalid any proceedings here
under or to deprive the district court
Of jurisdiction of the subject matter"
Asked for the reasons for this
amendment Dy FRANK anu Eu5oA Ioh'
Woody explained that an error might
be made in the name of an owner or
the description Of the land and that
thus the person might be bound under
the provisions of the act in spite of
the fact that he had received no no
tice of the formation Of the district
and had been unable to protest. On
a rising vote the amendment striking
out these lines was adopted by vote
Of 33 to 13.
Woody submitted an amendment to
strike out the proviso that the inclu-
sion of any land not mentioned in the
petition asking for the creation of the
district, shall not deprive the other
lands of the district, mentioned in the
petition, Of an adequate supply of wa
ter for irrigation purposes His
amendment was adopted without op-
position.
Duncan Amends.
Duncan moved to strike out the
lines which provided that the findings
and order of the court on the hearing
of the petition shall be conclusive
proof that all the owners of lands
within the district have assented to
and accepted the provisions of the law,
and shall be final unless appealed
from to the supreme court within 10
days from the date of entry of such
order.
In supporting his amendment Dun
can said that as the law now stood
appellants were given 60 days in which
to file appeals, but that the present
bill only allowed 10 days, which he
declared would be an injustice. Mac
Ginnis and Frank differed with Dun
can on this amendment, while Pear
son (Carbon) supported the amend
ment.
Duncan withdrew his amendment
when Frank proposed the striking out
Of the clause providing that notice Of
appeals must be given within 10 days
from the date of entry of such order"
This amendment was adopted.
Offers Change.
Woody sent up an amendment to
section 8, changing the bill from line
175 to the end of 1873, inclusive. The
purpose of the amendment was to
eliminate all condemnation of water
rights by the district board of com
missioners, but to permit the condem-
nation of land for canals and reser-
voirs as the bill originally provided.

The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-03-02

Last evening a coroner's jury, i'm
paneled by Coroner w. D. Kendrick
found that Robert Gilruth, of whose
killing near Lolo at noon on Sunday
was told in yesterdays Missoulian,
had met his death at the hands of
Joseph Brown. The inquest brought
out clearly the details of the murder,
but threw little light upon any sup
posedly deep-laid motive. The fact
that Brown had spent a term in
states prison for wrongng the wife
of the man he shot Sunday was not
mentioned during the inquisition. The
features were the refusal of Joseph
Brown to testify and the graphic
story told the jury by John Gilruth,
brother of the victim of Browns pis-
tol, and the only witness.
Il refuse to testify" said Joseph
Brown, when he was called to tell
the coroner's jury of the killing of
Robert Gilruth, and, as a consequence
of his refusal to talk, his side of the
affair will not be heard until a higher
court takes the case in hand Small
in stature compactly built, with the
ruddy face of a man who lives in the
open, Brown looks just like the ordi-
nary lumberman Brown has been in
prison, but there is nothing of prison
pallor' in his face. Dressed in a
heavy gray Mackinaw ill-fitting
trousers and heavy, high shoes, Brown,
as he faced the inquisition of last
evening, looked very much as all the
rest of the men one sees every day
on top Of loads of wood or working In
| the forests. His head was bandaged
| and his left hand was in a sling.
| Brown was taken back to the Jail by
Sheriff Graham without having said
| any more than is quoted in this para =
graph
Brother Testifies.
A voluble and important witness
was John Gilruth, brother of the man
shot by Brown He told of the killing
and of the incidents that led up to it,
acting the shooting out before the
jury. A faithful actor was John Gill
ruth, even using his left hand in show
ing how Brown fired the shot that
ended his brothers life, although the
witness was himself right handed.
John Gilruth is a man older than was
his unfortunate brother. His hair is
grizzled and his face lined a little in
tribute to his half a century of life,
although his skin is more than ruddy
and his eye clear. He is also man of
| medium height. and, with his gray hair
| brushed back from a high forehead
| looks more the scholar than the wood
chopper he is. His language is, how
ever that of the man who works. He
testified as follows:
1--WE, my brother Bob and l, was
| near old Chickamon mine Sunday aft
| ernoon. We was getting ready to
stake out a claim-that is, Bob was
| and I was helping him. That man
| Brown came along and I talked with
him, I didn't know it was Brown and
| asked him for a match. He stopped
and gave me three or four matches
| My brother, he comes over and says
| Brown, where's the corner of that 1C
acres of yours Brown says, It's
over there someWheres.' My brother
