CowAN CASE DEFENSE RESTS
Prosecution Begins the Introduction
I. Of Rebuttal Testimony in I'm
parchment Proceedings.

The defense in the Cowan impeach.
nent case rested, Friday and within
half hour the senate had decided
upon an adjournment until Monday,
when the rebuttal testimony of the
prosecution was commenced.
President Burdick of the senate was
on the witness stand Friday afternoon
for the defense, testifying with rela
ton to the Minot stockyards incident.
that has been testified to by D. G.
Greenleaf of that city. Burdick de.
clared he was with Cowan both days
OF the sale and that at no time was
Cowan under the influence of liquor.
Impeaching evidence was placed be-
fore the court when Norman Morrison
of Webster, a member of the house Of
representatives, was recalled to the
stand. His evidence was directed at
that offered by Dan V. Brennan of
Devils Lake in behalf of the prose.
cution.
The question propounded to Morri.
son was as to whether or not Brennan
had at any time made the statement
to him that there were three men who
had to be driven out of public life in
Devils Lake before law and order
could prevail
mo sir, replied Mr.. Morrison.
Then a query was directed at the
actual statement made, and it was ad-
mitted over the objection of the pros

eve are after Cowan and we will
disqualify him for the bar. We arc
going to get him." is the statement
that Morrison said Dan Brennan made
to him in the lobby Of the capitol at
about the time the fight was on before
the house of representatives.
'Tf he had done to me what he did
70 my father, would take club and
hit him over the head is another
statement that Morrison declares
Brennan made to him with reference
to the accused jurist.
The cross examination of Mr. Morri-
son was sharp. He was asked if he
was not opposed to the law and order
movement in Devils Lake, to which he
replied in the negative. On redirect
examination MI. Morrison said that
while talking to Brennan, some state
ment to the effect that Cowan was
crooked was made, to which Morrison
made reply that he had heard the
same statement made with reference
to the elder Brennan.
The cross examination of Judge
Duell of Devils Lake proved to be de-
cidedly interesting. The witness was
given severe grllng by George
Bangs for his stand in the matter OF
law enforcement, being asked time
and again as to the reasons for fail
ing to enforce this or that law in this
OF that case. At times the witness
and attorney wrangled over points
that were raised.

Fifty Per Cent Of FiIIpinos Who
Arrived on the Siberia Are
Undesirables.

Out Of one hundred and fifteen Fill.
pinos to arrive yesterday by the Pacific
Mail liner Siberia, thirty.seven would
be Immediately deported If they were
aliens, according to statements made
by Doctor Ramus, chief quarantine Off
Ger Of the port, last night.
Doctor Ramus stated that he had
made only a cursory examination, but
that the officers of the territorial board
of health would examine the immi-
grants who were brought here by the
planters association and would prob
ably find large number more.
OF these thirty-seven who are on the
black list, fifteen have trachoma in a
bad form. The rest are suffering prin-
cipally from amoebic dysentery and
venereal diseases.
There are two old women in the
crowd, both of them over sixty years
of age, who have been imported with
the others There is one old man who
is entirely mute, blind in one eye and
has a hernia. There are four other
men too old to work and one more in
the last stages of consumption, who is
dying now.
Forty-six were deported by the
Orient steamer last week, after thor
ough examination in which their physi-
cal condition was found so bad as to
bar them from admission, even though
not aliens.
The local quarantine officers made
archaeological examinations of the
crowd from which these were deported
and discovered that the proportion of
those afflicted with amoebic dysentery
was the same as that in the Philip
pines. as aseertained by Moses 7.
Clegg, now in Honolulu, after $500 ex-
aminations.
This proportion is about fifty per
cent of the total and the local health
officers state that if they had made
more examinations the proportion here
would probably have been found to be
even greater.
Four died on the voyage.

WHY PRINCE RUPERT
EXCURSION FAILED
Sunny Jim" MccandIess Also
Tells Why the WiIhelmina's
Will Succeed.

81 see that the steamer Prince Ru-
pert excursion to Hawaii in February
has fallen through said ]. S. McCand-
less yesterday. 81 am sorry to hear of
this as there would have surely been
many shriners from the Northwest
among them, and l am sorry for Mrs.
Headlee, the promotion committee
agent up there, as she is hard worker
for Hawaii, and a good booster for all
the Islands, and, knowing her person
ally, l was very mach pleased when l
learned of her success, as this excur-
sion was apparently success up to
the last week.
fBut / think I can see from this
long distance one of the main reasons
for the excursion falling down. The
steamer Prince Rupert is vessel built
for the Puget Sound trade and never
was originally intended for ocean-going
trips. The trip from Seattle to Van
couver or Victoria takes less than
twelve hours, and there are many con-
veniences lacking on that vessel, but
which are to be found in ocean'going
ships.
6While have had no experience
before in getting up excursions, l un-
dertook to bring the shriners down
here from the Coast. My personal OBJ
servations in travelling back and forth
between the Islands and the Coast have
taught me some lessons that stand me
in good hand at the present time.
First of all / would not attempt to
| bring any shriners here as the guests OF
Aloha Temple unless / could secure a
first. class steamer. / was offered sew
eral boats, but l had my eyes fixed on
one steamer that knew was irst-elass

accessories to make travelling comfort
