MORE ABOUT THE MAINE

While the public is waiting for the
word that the Maine has been pump
ed out, along comes the testimony Of
Admiral Melville concerning the
cause of the wreck. 1t is in the form
of letter which the Admiral wrote
to Speaker Read in 1902.
1t is remembered that Mr.. Read
was firmly opposed to the war we
made upon Spain. His influence in
government circles was vast at that
time when the disasater occurred in
the harbor of Havana and he under
took to bring it to bear. But the
fever was on and Speaker Reads at
tempt to check it was idle. The house
over which he presided was fairly
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1911-06-23

swept into hostilities, although Presi-
den Mckinley himself was extremely
anxious to continue the negotiations
whereby he believed peace could be
maintained.
The letter of Admiral Melville was
written years afterward. Mr.. Read
had consulted the Admiral, who
thereupon made careful investiga-
ton. His report was that, according
to his belief, after inquiry, the Maine
was not blown up from the outside.
He gave his reasons, for this conclu-
sion in the letter 10 Read-it is print
ed in the current number of the
North American Review-and it be-
comes, at this moment, an interest
ing document.
A good deal of the Melville testi-
mony is quite technical; it may be
described as wholly theoretical by
those who are disposed to insist that
the Spainards blew up the battleship.
He argued that in the case of explo-
sions from without entirely different
phenomena have resulted from those
that were within the Names expert
ence Perhaps we shall know more
about it before the summer is far
advanced. Beyond doubt many
Americans are prepared to believe
if cause and conclusions can be shown
from the conditions of the hull
that it will appear that the catast-
rophe probably came from causes
within the ship.
In that event, our claim must be
that Spain had her punishment COM
ing anyhow and that We had duty
toward Cuba, in the presence of ex-
listing circumstances. Several mil
lions of Americans will feel that to
settle down to that conclusion is pref
ty cold comfort, but anyhow, they
want the truth known, if it can be
ascerained.

HALBERG Is FOUND NOT GUILTY
AT TWIN FALLS


Twin Falls. June $50. j. Hal
berg was tonight acquitted of the
murder of Andrew Barclay, who, he
declared, had wrecked his home, the
verdict declaring the defendant mot
guilty, as he was insane at the time
the crime was committed"
The last day of one of the most
sensational trials that had occurred
in the west in recent years closed
when those IL men filed out of Judge
Stockslager's courtroom after having
been instructed by him upon the law
relating to the evidence as it has been
submitted by both prosecution and
defense during the last three days.
Much Interest i'm Trial
The afternoon was marked by the
most intense interest in the argu-
ments of counsel upon both sides,
manifested not only by the jury but
by the veritable mob of spectators
who literally jammed the inadequate
hell of justice in spite of the swelter-
ing heat. Many of the panel and
crowd gave themselves up to SYM
pathetic tears when William H. Guth-
rie reached the climax of his plea for
the wronged h, sband, who, it is urg-
ed, had been driven insane by his
wife's recital of the wrong that had
been committed. The instructions to
the jury were not long, considering
the Importance which the case has
assumed since the trial commenced.

RAILROAD GRADING IN CACHE
VALLEY
Contractors Begin Grading Between
briggs and Haden Monday

After 20 long years of waiting the
people of briggs and vicinity are
about to realize something which will
be of vast importance to us all, and
which will bring about a great
change for the better in all local
commercial enterprises. Referenc !,
is now being made to the building
of the railroad, that piece of work
assuming a more visible form as the
cross section gang was In town Fri
day scattering pegs and doing other
preliminary work.
Next Monday a contractor with Il
small crew of men will begin opera
lions in the neighborhood of Cache.
Later ON in the week contractor
who has finished his section at Bitch
creek will bring his large outfit over
this way and also operate between
briggs and Haden, the idea being
to take advantage of the rising sub,
which comes up about June Is, and
stays in the surface till long in the
fall. Our present season being late
and wet, the sub will come up
sooner and make the ground more
swampy than for some years past.
So it is wise move on the part of
the Utah Construction company in
doing this end at this time, as much
labor and inconvenience can be saved.
So many have vouchsafed the as
sertion that the Driggs-Ashton extern
sion was not contemplated as a
branch line at all, but intended as the
first section of a main artery connect
ing with the Union Pacific. This
contention, after a little talk with
railroad engineers, is entirely over
thrown. Not the heavy, but the 10
pound steel is being used, and every
thing is under construction on branch
line principles. No arrangements
have been made for long isidings,
which would be necessary on trunk
line Hence it is not big jump in
coming to the conclusion that briggs
will be the terminal of the railroad
for some years to come.-Teton VAL
