an assorted brand of Jeersonan principles The expound

party he claims be doing why did he attend the recent

open secret that the democratic leaders want Morrison

THE HAVOC OF FOREST FIRES.

In the light of what happened in this district two years
ago would be useless waste of time and breath to
warn residents of northern Idaho of the serious results attach
inc to small brush and camp fires No who witnessed the
destruction and suffering wrought by that forest fire will live
long enough forget it's narrowing details The fires started
presumably from apparently harmless little fires of settlers
who engaged in burning slashngs which when famed
by wind suddenly coming up became at uncomfortable
In other parts of the district the fires the result of the
careessness campers other settlers The result that
the fires gained Roadway rapidly and at last joined together
forming solid wall of flame than 20 miles long in some
places.
And everyone acquainted with the situation knows too that
this forest fire far serious blow to Wallace
and the surrounding country than any willing to admit

the old buildings far better structures have been erected but
the fact remains however, that at present in the eastern part
of this city there large amount of vacant ground which
formerly occupied by buildings which destroyed in
the fire that have not been rebuilt and in all probability it will
be time before reconstruction is attempted Nor is this
loss the only by any that has tended to retad the
development of this district and all the northern part of the
state Scattered throughout the devastated by the fire
were properties which at the time under de

Complaint From Mormon Residents at Colonia Oax- aca of Plundering Tester day by the Government Troops
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

JUAREZ. July 17.-General Pascual Orozco declared tonight that he was undecided when he would leave here or when the city would be evacuated. He indicated that no move would be made for several days. Before the advancing federals the rebel dyna- miting crew is moving back toward the American border tearing up the Mexican Central railroad
 They were reported at Moctezuma IA miles south of JuareZ, today. Along the Mexican Northwestern, the federals are reported to have advanced north from Chihuahua to within 11S miles of Madeira, the southern outpost of the rebels along that railroad.
 The departure of General Antonio Rojas from Madeira westward into the state of Sonora without orders from General OrOzco is regarded as pat of the plan of guerilla warfare in which the rebel bands will operate inde- pendently on expeditions of loot and devastation with a view of forcing government submission

THE HELPING ALONG
 0F PLANT LIFE
The Experiments of a New Jersey
 Electrician.

WEST ORANGE, N. J., July 1.-The Mecca Of automobile touring parties and visitors to this section who come by train. is the estate of Jabob Popkins, member of the German colony at PleasantGale, who has succeeded in demonstrating to his own satisfacti )n and the wonderment of others the soundness of the theory that electricity stimulates plant life
 Popkins is fond of popular science and an amateur electrician One day he was looking over his garden, where the peas were just bginning to thrust their sprouts out of the ground. He had stretched two lines of iron wire a little above them, to furnish them a hold when their stalks reached hign enough. It occurred to him that, before his eyes, was the material for a com plete electric circuit and at once that suggested what he had read of electric ity being tried in the stimulation of plant growth Popkins rigged up a dry battery and when the stalks began to lean against the lower wire he con- nected il with the battery. with the ground for a return. Within a few days the plants showed unusual vigor and began to grow rapidly. They are now beginning to get close to the sec ond wire. which Popkins will then make the return circuit, eliminating the ground. He hopes in that way to stimulate the budding and Towering and thus get better crop of peas.

Every Elector Chosen on a Republican Ticket Must Cast His Vote in Elec- toral College for Repub- lican Candidate
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON. July 1.-The de- tailed answer which President Taft's advisers will make to the charge that his nomination at Chicago was pro- cured in an illegal fashion was one of the first subjects that greeted Carmi A. Thompson of Ohio, when he today assumed the post of presi- dents secretary.
 Thompson discussed the answer with United States Senator Dick of Ohio, who had charge of the Taft contests before the republican na tional committee. The statement is long and reviews every contest. 1t is said that a comprehensive abstract will be drafted and the republican leaders would arm the Taft speakers with the facts in every contest. The abstract probably will be made public through the newspapers and a full answer probably will be published in pamphlet form.

Fremont Older of San Fran cisco Bulletin Describes the Agreement by Which the Prosecution of the McNamaras Was Ended
LEAVING NO MOTIVE
 FOR JURY BRIBERY
Prosecution Vigorously Op- posed This Testimony Fearing That It Would Have More Weight With Jury Than It Deserved
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

LOS ANGELES-The original agree ment between the representatives of labor and capital in Los Angeles by which the McNamara case was to be ended forever. was disclosed in detail by Fremont Older the San Francisco newspape,man who took the stand to- day for the defense in the bribery trial of Clarence s. Darrow The introIuc- tion of this testimony was permitted by Judge Hutton on a showing by the de- fense that it would prove a lack of mo- tive on ihe part of Darrow for bribing Juror George N. Lockwood but it was only after the greater part of the days session had been consumed by lengthy, technical arguments.
 The prosecution made a determined effort to exclude the evidnce on the technical grounds that it was hearsay in the nature of self-serVing declara tions, but for the more obvious reason that positive proof of the defendants agreement the proposal several days before tie bribery expose. would be a trmndouS advantage to the defense
 
 jury came.
 The original agreement as outlined by Older contemplated the pleading of guilty by James B. McNamara, another fixing of his punishment at life i'm prisonmont. For this, the prosecution was not only to dismiss the other eases growing out of the Jynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, including that of John J. McNamara, but ito de stroy all evidence then in the posses sion of the prosecution. Another clause of the agreement was to the effect that representatives of Los Angeles capital were to recognize the labor unions.
 A question had arizen, 9coTding to the witness, of the unwillingness of District Attorney F'redericks to con- sent to the dismissal of the charge against john j. McNamara and it had been agreed by Darrow that if prosecu- tor insisted upon it U. J. Would also be thrown to the wolves" in the lang uage of Older rather than continue the trial
 Just before adjournment Juror M. R. Williams asked the witness: Did you know at that time that the McNamaras were guilty.
 Well. I had no definite or legal knowledge that they were, but as- stunned SO" was the reply.
 Here Juror l.. A. Leavitt broke in. What did you mean by throwing J. J. to the wolves?" asked the juror. Did you recommend that one of the men go free, the ether to be punished, knowing hoth to he guiltV2''
 The witness explained his attitude by saying that he did not believe in the doctrine of "an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" He thought justice could be done without taking any more hu- man life He was summoned to Los Angeles by a telegram from Darrow and Lincoln Steffens the magazine writer. Older said that upon his arrival of November 23, last year, he was ap- prised Ey Steffens of the plan upon (which the latter was working with prominent employers and citizens of Los Angeles for truce between capital and labor.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, July 17.-While the police tonight continue to declare their confidence that there will be a speedy solution of the problem of who shot and killed Herman Rosen- thai, the gambler, early yesterday tives behind the murder, the net ap- parent result of today's activities on their part was the apprehension of "Bridgie" Webber, an East Side sporting man, and his release on a small bail after he had been ques- toned Webber admitted that he was the man who had heard a suspicious conversation the day preceding the crime between members of a poker party on a steamer excursion during which threats were made to get Rosenthal if he persisted in contin- uing his revelations of an alleged partnership between the police and the gambling fraternity.
 The question whether police ani- mostly over Rosenthars revelations or gamblers vindictiveness from the same cause inspired the murder plot apparently was as far from being answered tonight.
 After Police Commissioner Waldo had forwarded to the district attor- ney written request that the latter begin d complete investigation of the charges of partnership between the gamblers and the police and that members of the force were guilty of instigating the murder of Rosen- thai. the district attorney issued a statement declaring that he had nev- CT charged hat the police were re- sDonsible for RosenthaPs death
