WOMAN TO SERVE ON FED

FROM DUTY TODAY.

There will be no woman on the
jury to try Charles e. Houston
of Seattle and John e. Bullock OF
Portland for conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. District
Attorney Coiner released Mrs.
Kate Connor through peremptory
challenge this morning, on the
ground that as she was the only
woman on the jury It might be
embarrassing to her.
Judge Cushman put crimp In
the defendants yesterday when he
brushed aside their basketful OF
motions and demurrers and other
legal bubbles intended to delay
justice and finally set the case
over until later time, evidently
hoping witnesses may disappear,
He ordered them to get ready
for trial at once ana the clerk be-

TESTIFY AS TO.
CHARACTER
OF SISTER
BUCKLEY WITNESSES ON
STAND DECLARE THAT SIS
TER ALOYSIUS AND PAR
ENTS HAVE ALWAYS BORNE
GOOD REPUTATION.

Rather than allow what was
termed "the most vicious attack
=. against the character of Sister
Aloysius ever made by man or
woman" to go unrefuted to the
jury, Attorney Kane, representing
Bishop O'Dea, Father Van Goe-
then, and Sisters of the Visitation
= academy, defendants in the $40,-
900 damage suit brought by Mrs.
Magnuson, today declared he
would subpoena the entire town
of Buckley, WASH, to testify as
to the character and reputation or
the sister and her parents.
Overruling the objection of
Plaintiffs Attorney Kelly, Judge
e. M. Card this morning permit
ted the testimony of several wit
nesses brought here from Buck
ley, where the mother and father
of Sister Aloysius reside, to tell
what they know of the character
of the young sister and her par
ents.
DR.. John H. Sheets, for 23
years physician for the family of
Michael McHugh, father of Sister
Aloysius, whose true name is Ag-
nes McHugh, said character and
reputation of both parents and
child in the community of Buols-
ley had always been very good.
When Attorney Kelly objected
to testimony being introduced to
show the character of Sister Alloy
sius and her parents Attorney
Kane leaped to his feet and in a
tone shaking with indignation,
said:
"The character Of this little
: sister has been submitted to a
most vigorous attack. She has
been singled out as the one per-
son, who, by her action and asso-
Citations with Marjorie Rieman,
1ured her from her mother. If
=. necessary We want to bring the
whole town of Buckley to this
court to show her reputation and
character from her birth to the
present time"
Judge Card stated that there
was some doubt in his mind as
to the admissability of testimony
OF this kind. but that he would
rather lean towards the sister and
ALLOW her a chance to defend her
character. He said, however, he
could allow but four witnesses for
this particular subject.
John F. Jones and William o.
Kempinski, both of Buckley, tes-
tilted that the character of both
parents and the girl and their
reputation had always been the
very best.
When placed on the stand yes
terday afternoon, Sister Aloysius
said, II have treated Marjorie as
a mother would treat child who
Is heartsick."
Mother Camillus, another OF
the defendants, sat through the
\ session of court this morning
reading from a book of prayer
her lips moving perceptibly. The
usual crowd of women and girls
was in attendance.

SALT LAKE, Sept. 2O.-Two
thousand additional men Joined
the ranks of the striking miners
at Bingham today, making q total
OF 5000 men out, when tho
Magma and Arthur stamp mills
closed down. Charles HI. Meyer,
president Of the Western Feder-
alton of Miners, announced the
number would probably be aug
mented before the end of tho
week, as n proposition to call q
strike i'm the Nevada Consolidated
and Chino mines Is under serious
consideration.
Nearly 800 deputy sheriffs
were on guard at the Bingham
mines today. ; Although no dis
orders were reported up to noon.
the miners are sullen and defiant.
and trouble is likely to come at
any time. Up to late hour this
morning and 1000 strikers have
ignored orders to come from their
mountain Businesses, and any at
tempt to dislodge them may be
followed by bloodshed.
1t Is regarded as almost certain
this afternoon that Governor Spry
will be forced to call out the state
troops. The governor has noti-
fed the strikers that II they att
tack men attempting to fill their
places in the mines, the militia
will be rushed to the scene. Hun
dreds of miners and their SYM
pathizers guarded the tracks of
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
at Bingham and Garfield this
morning on the lookout for
strike-breakers.

"All the others have expressed
themselves as willing and anxious
to help along in such movement
and will stand together as in
favor of the passage of the bill, ;"
said Mrs. Macready today.
Prominent among the leaders
in the movement are: Mrs. Mac
ready, Mrs. J. @. Mason of the Ia
coma Women's Suffrage club;
Mrs. J. H. Parsons. president of
the Business Women's club; Mrs.
F. A. McGill, of the Presidents
Council, and Attorney Frank
Latcham, charitable worker, and
leader of the Boy Scouts.
1T Is high time the state had
law providing for a pension for
Widows said Mrs. Macready.
To-day dependent widows are hui
inflated by the, feeling that they
are paupers, instead of being able
to hold their heads as high as the
proudest Grand Army veteran.
And every woman who rears a
family of children is doing as
grand a work for her country as
any man who fought in the coun-
try's wars"
Mrs. Macready declares there
are so families in Tacoma with
out a patrnal head. either depend
ent upon the widowed mother or
charity for their support.

Governor Gooding knows the case

His statement in full follows:
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE RE-
PUBLICANS OF IDAHO AND TO
JOHN T. MORRISON:
On Tuesday, the 30th day Of July,
OF this year, 1912, the Republicans
of Idaho are asked to make their
choice of nominee for Governor.
There are four candidates before the
people. One of them is John T. Nor
rison, who has once served the peo-
pie OF this State as its chief execu-
tive. He again asks the Republican
party OF Idaho to make him their
nominee for the the high office OF
Governor in the primary election OF
July 30th. In my judgment the Of
flee of Governor OF this State is the
highest office within the gift of the
people of Idaho and in their selec-
ton of man for this office too much
care cannot be exercised in making
their choice.
can neither support John 7.
Morrison for the nomination nor
can support him if he is the
Republican nominee for Gov
ern0r.
For me to remain silent during
the primary fight that is now on for
the nomination for Governor of this
State and then to oppose him in the
selection, would be untrue to tho
party that has twice honored me by
electing me chief executive of this
commonwealth. Again, 1t is only
fair to John T. Morrison that the
statement that I am now making
should be made in time for him to
answer, If he SO wishes. to the vot-
ers OF this State. before the day of
the primary.
My objection to John 4. Nor
rison as the nominee of the Re-
publican party in the coming
election lies in the fact that when
the State of Idaho was strug-
Cling to protect its good name
against the greatest criminals
the world has ever known, John
r. Morrison became the attor-
ney of those criminals against
the State Of Idaho, and sold his
influence and his services to de-
feat the ends of justice In the
greatest murder trial this conn
try has ever known.

assassinated at his own home IN

ders Of this State and are voters at
