TRIAL OF RENO
MURDERER HAS
COMMENCED

RENO, New, Dec. 19.-Peter
Raicevich, the young man brought
back from Mexico to answer
charge of numbering Joseph Ros.
trand, is now on trial for his life
The examination of veniremen COM
menced yesterday and may continue
for couple more days. At the
present rate it will take longer
than tomorrow to secure IL men
to try the defendant, and it is
quite possible that the case will
not be finished before Christmas
The objection of defendant to
the venire was overruled by Judge
Orr, and the attorney took an
exception to it. The examination
of the veniremen then commenced.
Twelve men were sworn and went
into the jury box. There were four
men examined and only one out
of the four was passed for cause.
This juror is Perry A. McCart. The
first two, Richard Laking and H.
e. Stewart, stated on examination
that they had a prejudice against
the defendant because he had re-
sisted extradition when caught in
Mexico, and although the district
attorney and his assistant objected
to the jurors on charge of bias
their objection was overruled and
the men were excused for the
term. The third man, Perry Nc.
Cart, was passed for cause and
then the examination of Juror Hig-
gins commenced.

JOHN FLEMING
FALLS TO DEATH
FROM BUILDING

John b. Fleming, one of the most
prominent mill designers and con-
structors in the west, fell forty
feet to his death in a bin court
il the Golden hotel at Reno at m
carly hour Sunday morning Death
did not result Immediately. as
leming fingered thru !g'. the day
and succumbed Monday evening,
shortly after O'Clock.
Fleming, who was former presi-
dent of the American Institute of
Mechanical Engineers, came to an
untimely end in a manner that
caused great grief among his friends
and acquaintances. He had depa1
Ell from his room through a win
dow to the roof of an adjoining
building, and while essaying to re-
turn to his quarters he mistook
tho window and was dashed to [!
bottom of a court. There are a
half dozen windows through which
he could nave returned to the hotel,
but the finger of fate evidently
pointed out the one that, to all
appearances, led to a room, but
instead opened on to the court.
Fleming constructed and designed
the famous million and a quarter
dollar mill of the Goldfield Consolid-
ated Mining company at Goldield,
and later built the Fairview mill
In the past years he built many
of the mills at Park City, Utah
and others throughout Utah and
Colorado. He was recognized at one
CT the best millwrights in the United
States, and for the past year OF

senate, sent no copies OF it L.
the capitol and none was given
out at the White House.
The committee resolution conclud-
ed as follows: Therefore, Be it
resolved by the senate and the
house of representatives, that the
notice given by the president OF
the United States to the empire of
Russia to terminate the said treaty
is hereby adopted and ratified"
After the message and resolution
had been read, Senator Hepburn
of Idaho moved that the further
consideration of the matter be in
executive session. He declared that
it was proposed to cancel a contract
of great commercial interest to the
United States, involving a trade of
many millions of dollars and he
thought it should be seriously con-
sidered at length.
1t was apparent that action on
the resolution terminating the trea-
ty would be DELAYED until late in
tho day.
House leaders, including Chair
man SuIzer, said yesterday that the
house would gladly accept the sem
ate resolution.
Senator Hepburn objected to the
consideration of the resolution and
under the rules of the senate it
went over until today.
Senators Criticized.
Senator Hepburn spoke at length
on his motion and seemed to cri-
iticiZe the members who had public
| ly expressed their opinions.
81 did not vote in the newspapers
yesterday" he said 81 don't think
the senate would dispose of a mat
ter of such magnitude in an cE
hand manner.
1T looks too much like the steam
roller process to bring into the
senate resolution and a message
and ask immediate consideration.
THE Russian government is a diff
ferent government than it was when
the treaty was made
Whether or not at moments s
notice we should deal with the
question as we would with the pay
ment of mileage rather staggers me.
1t looks too much like sentiment
instead of judgment"

in the senate in open session soon
after it convened. He stated he
took the matter up with the Rus

Friday The official declaration of
the intention to abrogate did not
reach the Russian government until
yesterday.
Immediately after the president S
message had been read Senator

a substitute for the Sulzer resolu
