WAR SHIPS HAVE
REACHED HAVANA
Grave by the andinq
Of the Marines Seems to be But 4
Question Of a Few Hours,

Washington, uJne 10 American
marines are available for service in
Havana. The cruiser Washington and
the battleship Rhode Island, which
steamed out from Key West early this
morning under orders sent from WASH
ington late last night, made the run
across the straits of Florida to the
Cuban capital in about seven hours.
Each of these ships, in addition to
her regular complement Of sixty-five
marines, carries an extra complement
of 125, including officers. They would
be landed In the Cuban capital only in
a case Of dire, emergency, in which
event the bluejackets Of both ships
also would be available.
The gravity withwhich this govern
ment regards the situation is indicated
by the fact that Rear Admiral Oster-
haus, commander of the Atlantic fleet,
is aboard his flagship, the Washington.
The remainder of the third division
of the fleet remains at Key West and
can join the flagship in a few hours.
The mine planter San Francisco
leaves Annapolis today with compile
ment of midshipmen aboard and will
join the ships at Key West.

Morrison was something more than a

Of the state. He had applauded my
brothers efforts on behalf of right and
justice, and by means of which the
dignity and good name of the state
had been upheld Those familiar with
Darrow's methods know that Morri-
sons employment was not because of
his standing as an attorney, but sole
ly on account of his having formerly
been governor of Idaho. He had
stood somewhat in the position of an
heir Of the good name that had been
won by the acts of Frank Steunenberg
for the state of Idaho.

Motives Behind Brothers Action
My brother, Frank Steunenberg,
while governor of Idaho, acting
from the purest motives of patriot
ism, took a decided stand for law
and order. He thereby incurred en-
mites that after several years result
ed in his assassination.
Men who I believe were his murder
ers were arrested and brought to trial.
Their instrument, Harry Orchard, made
confession Of his own and their part
in this vile conspiracy.
Confederation of this confession was
secured through the sworn statements
of Steve Adams, and the state thus
obtained evidence that would inevitably
have resulted in the conviction CT Moy-
er, Haywood and Pettibone.

Of Missouri Appears on the Scene and
Visites Roosevelt Headquarters.

Chicago, June IL William Barnes
Jr., chairman Of the New York Re
publican state committee, and a dele
gate at large to the national conven-
ton, arrived today and went into con-
ference with Senator Crane Of Mas
sachusetts and other Taft leaders.
Barnes is looked on as the probable
Taft floor leader in the convention.
He decalred his principal business at
this time was to aid the conference
for Senator Root as temporary chair
man.
Governor Hadley of Missouri ar
rived today and went at once to
Roosevelt headquarters. He is to ar
que the Missouri contest before the
national committee.
In hotel lobbies and rival headquar-
ters there is discussion Of possible
candidates for vice president and
Senator Borah of Idaho is mentioned.
He said under no conceivable cir
cumstances or conditions would ac-
cept the nomination for vice presi-
dent. In view Of the discussion Of
the matter l want to put an end to

under no circumstances would ac-

It's Rule or Ruin
Chicago, June 12-Recourse to the
Roosevelt men chosen as presidential
electors in different states is the plan
announced by William Finn of Pitts
burg, should the convention nominate
President Taft. Finn made this
statement in vigorous attack on
the national committee, in which he
declared that while such movement
might defeat the Republican nominee
for president, it would save the party
in big Republican states. His posi-
tion was endorsed by Governor Glass
cock of West Virginia, who said that
all West Virginia Republican electors
are for Roosevelt and would vote for
him in the electoral college regardless
of the action of the convention.

resist the tempting clink of the greasy
thirty pieces of silver, for which Judas
betrayed the Master.

Of this state to make him qover-
nor. ask In what position would
he be in If he were elected COVER
nor, and Jack simpkins, the ac-
complice and companion Of Harry
Orchard in Caldwell, Immediately
before the assassination, and who
is still under indictment in this
state and 10 fugitive from just

on trial for this foul murder.

l want to thank the Statesman for
the splendid courage it displayed thro-
ughout the trials Of the assassins. No
agency could have done more for the
state than it did. feel confident
that it will give this protest of mine
space in its columns, and that it will
again explain to the people of Idaho
the ignoble part played by John T.
Morrison in the hour of the states
greatest trial.
There are many newcomers in Idaho
since my brothers death and the trial
Of his murderers, and feel it is only
right that these people should be fully
informed l am confident if the in-
is given them what their
verdict will be.
