San Diego, Cal, May 22.-The much
advertised demonstration of vigi-
lantes at the court house here failed
to materialize today.
When the case Of ]. NJ. Porter, an
alleged leader Of the citizens COM
mittee charged with contempt OF
court for an alleged intimidation OF
the ]. W. w. attorneys, Fred Moore
and M. VI, Robbins, working here in
the free speech fight, was called the
courtroom was crowded, the halls
and streets surrounding the county
building were lined with curious
throng, but the crowd was there not
in protest to the first attempt to
prosecute the vigilantes.
There were few American flags
seen in the crowd. Most OF the spec
tators were apparently free speech
smpathizers. When the doors to su-
perlor Judge Guys chambers we're
locked, the room was packed with
men supposed to be opposed to the
actions Of the vlgilantes.
Moore, Robbins and their stenogra-
pher appeared promptly at Q o'clock.
J, M. Porter entered the courtroom
alone. Few who have been identified
with the citizens committee were
present.
It wasp robably the largest crowd,
however, ever seen in a local court
room The hearing was attended by
more newspaper men than ever be-
fore attended court proceedings here
After the doors were locked, only
those connected with the case wero
allowed to enter and the reporters
dropped their notes from the second
story window to messengers waiting
below.
When the case was called State
Senator l., A. Wright, representing
Porter, at once submitted demurrer
to the citation for contempt Judge
Guy promptly oyerruled the demur-
rer.
Wright then iled an answer to the
allegations made in the afIidavlts Of

San Francisco, May 22.-Rumors are
current in baseball circles in this city
today that Manager D. w. Long, of the
San Francisco Pacific coast league
baseball club soon will be manager nc

Published and spoken criticism OF
the team for the frequency with which
it has been losing games after having
chem apparently won, has during the
past few days, centered in the owners
of the ball club, who, II is charged

Statements that $4,000 had been spent

Longs admission that he had been Civ

however, at last concentrated the gen

The fans now declare that Long

ers, lacks diplomacy and tact, and thai
hostility between him and his players
is responsible for the poor showing

that it is q rare specimen of Comic

In the beginning of his address he
took up the case Of Sheridan and Brox.
on and commented upon the fact that
they had not introduced any evidence
in their behalf at the trial on Monday
and he said he thought it was a con.
fession of guilt on their part because
they did not attempt to defend the
charges against them.

concerned, take it they stand before

nothing more remains to be done ex.

and pass judgement upon their cases.
Their silence must be taken as a con.
fession to the charges,'' said the attor
ney general.
He then launched into the argument
IN the case against A R. Cruzen. He
pointed out that Cruzen had held him
self out as the controller of the politi-
cal policies of the evening paper and
that he had told many persons that he
owned the publication and that he
could have anything published that he
desired and that he could suppress any
items which did not meet with his
approval.
He then took up the matter of the
truth or falsity of the testimony given
by Cruzen at the trial ON Monday. He
SAID that if Cruzen was on trial in the
district court for burglary and the
evidence which has been introduced be.
fore the supreme court were given to a
jury, that the jury would find the de-
fendant guilty.

who when he was battling against

The question to be determined by the
court is whether he is guilty as charged

have to be decided whether Cruzen has
been telling the truth about the city
for the past year or whether he told it

MoRMoNs COMPLETE CONTROL.
Plan Now to Create Six Additional
Mormon Counties.

Boise, Dec. "a. The Mormon issue
was never before so immanent in Idaho
as it is to-day. The Mormons now alb.
solutely dominate the old republican
party. John w. Hart, Mormon bishop
OF Fremont county is national CON-
mitteeman of the party and state-sena-
tor-elect from his. county, also an ac-
knowledged candidate for floor leader.
George A. Day, another Mormon leader,
hailing from Cassia County, is state
chairman of the party and his o. X. is
very important in obtaining an appoin-
tive office under Governor Haines.
Then Capt. E. G. Davis, secretary of
the committee, is native of Oneida
County and represented that county in
the last legislative assembly, which GER
tainly proves him acceptable to the
Mormon leaders. Capt. Davis has been
selected as secretary to Governor
Haines and will be an important ad-
visor of the governor.
So much for the preliminary, but for
the real meat in the cocoanut the plans
for the greater Mormon influence in
Idaho politics are coming into view
1t is proposed to create six new Nor
mon counties, which would greately in
crease the strength of the organization
in the state senate. Three additional
counties are to be carved out of Fre-
mont, two out of Oneida and one out of
portions of Bannock, Blaine and
Oneida. Present indications are that
all these proposed divisions will have
the solid support of the present recog-
nized seven Mormon counties of the
southeast, and to these should also be
included Blaine in which the Mormons
already have the balance of power and
which the vote in their settlements
threw into republican column this year.
So instead Of their being seven, their
are really eight counties the southeast
controlled by the Mormon element.
The aim of the Mormon leaders is
becoming apparent even to those gen.
tiles who in the past have deprecated
the raising of the church issue, and un-
less matters take sudden change,
will unquestionably be some agitation
in the campaign of two years hence.
