OIL from the rich and productive
fields OF Fremont county may be
used as fuel to generate power to op-
crate the great new mill to be erected
by The Hidden Hand Mines Company
on the Sweetwater. In a recent trip
to view the holdings OF the company
in the Lewiston district, Thomas Allen
Box. of lew York, secretary of the
company, expressed the opinion that
the fields surrounding Dallas are rich
in oil.
A new company the Wyoming Cali
fornia, capitalized at 100000. has
been formed by Denver men for the
development Of Wyoming oil fields.
The company has bought the old
Eclipse property In the Salt Creek
basin. and In addition has acquired
rights which give the company sixty
one acres adjoining the Midwest and
Franco-Petroleum companies.

Mayor Gaynor had three unmarried
daughters, two married daughters and
two sons. Mrs. Gaynor, with one of the
unmarried daughters was at st.
James.
Later dispatches from his son, Ru.
fus w. Gaynor. who was his father's
only travelling companion. gave details
which showed that the end had come
with shocking suddenness.
Father died at 1907 p. m. on We'd
nesday. the 10th," said the message
from the son. received by Secretary
Adamson. His death was due to
heart failure. He was seated in his
deck chair at the time. / and the
nurse and the ships doctor were with
him. l discovered him unconscious in
his chair. though still alive. He died
about three minutes later without
recognizing any of us. Everybody
possible was done, but he seemed to go
as candle flickers out. Am all right
and am trying to arrange to bring the
body back on Lusitania, sailing from
Liverpool on the 18th"
That the mayors heart had been in
a weakended condition for years was
the statement of physicians who
treated him at the time he was shot
In the neck and almost killed by an
insane discharged employee of the city
in August. 1910. They would not de-
clare their belief that the wound in
flicted by the assassin's bullet had led
directly to the end. but did affirm that
his general resistance had been
lessened thereby to very great ex-
tent.
Plans for public funeral. to be
held probably on September 22, will
be made by the board of estimates.
Late adylces from abroad say tho
body will be transferred from the
Baltic to the steamer Cedric, sailing
from Queenstown. or II that arrange
ment cannot be effected, to Lusitania

Ices of his predecessor. Mayor Kline
then declared that during his short
term of office. which will terminate
on January /. 1914. he would carry out
the policies of Mayor Gaynor, so far
as he knew them.
Mayor Gaynor's death. at a time
when he was candidate Of q third
party for mayor Of New York, recalls
the death, under similar circum.

single tax advocate. in the campaign
of 1897. George was chosen by the

NO LONGER ASK TO VOTE
 BUT DEMAND AMENDMENT Attitude of Suffraqsts As Set Forth
 by Or. Anna Ii. Shaw.

Washington, Dec Enthusiasm over reports on what already has been accomplished by the Woman Suffrage movement and even greater enthu- Siasm. over prophecies of what the fu- ture will bring forth marked the for maj opening sessions here today of ess-forty- fifth annual convention of the National American Woman Suf- frage association.
 Tn calling to order the delegates from all over the country, pr. Anna Howard Shaw. president of the organ ization, declared:
 The time is past when we say Please let women vote This has been changed to We demand an amendment to the federal constitution enfranchising women.
 The victories already gained, she asserted, meant, that women now had a right to make such demand.
 The Illinois suffrage victory this year was celebrated tonight, six speakers from that state telling how the result had been accomplished. All the speeches were greeted with pro longed applause. The annual address of President Shaw and one by Miss Lucy Burns of this city, on The Ma tiOnal Amendment, also were on the night programme.
 Street meetings in various parts of the city were held as will be done every day during the convention.
 No greater ovation was given to any speaker than to Mrs. Patty R. Jacobs of Birmingham, Ala. when she de- clared that it was an indictment of the southern Woman's intellect to say that she did not want the ballot.
 Government ownership of railroads was suggested as result of woman suffrage when Miss Marie V. Smith of New York reported that difficulty had been found in getting reduced railroad fares for delegates. Dr. Shaw ex- claimed When we vote we'll own the railroads"

Jury Completed
 for Craig Trial
OPENING STATEMENT OF COUN
 sEL FOR STATE
SWEEPING ALLEGATIONS
Accusation of Prosecuting Attorney Brings Forth Vigorous Protest-AI- legged Relations Between Couple.

Shelbyvfille, Ind, Dec. 1.-The ac- cusation that Dr. William B. Craig had engaged in a system of wrong Ing Women," brought forth a charge Ephraim Inman, of counsel for the state, late today, at the trial of Craig ion the murder of Dr. Helene Knabe.
 Henry N. Spaan, leading counsel for Craig, protested to the court that MT. lnnan was exceeding the bounds of propriety in making the opening state ment for the prosecution before the jury and he demanded justice for his client
 Necessary to Establish Motive
 The jury was excluded while MT. In- man explained to Judge Blair that it was necessary to show Craig's alleged relations with women in order to es- tablish a motive for the murder of Dr Knabe, The court ruled that coun- Sel should confine himself to the facts the state expected to prove by it's wit nesses and should not indulge in a general denunciatiOn of the defendant
 Thus restrained when the jury was recalled, MT. Inman declared that the prosecution would show that two wit nesseS of vital importance to the states ; case, had been placed beyond the court through the influence of the accused man.
 CircumstantiaI Evidence Relied Upon.
 MT. Inman spoke for three hours and when he had concluded, court adjourn ed until tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. when MT. Spaan expects to address the jury with an opening statement for the defense The jury was completed at the morning session after more than fifty talesmen had been examined.
 "The state will be able to bring no eye witnesses to this crime" said Mr n a fn the jury, "but we expect to bring be- fore you a train of circumstances, all pointing not only in the direction of murder, but in the direction of pr. William B. Craig as the guilty man. ,
 The Craig -Knabe Friendship. Dr Craig sat unmoved. gazing at his accuser with unfaltering eyes, while the prosecutor pictured him to his judges as the perpetrator of the "foulest crime ever committed in the city of Indianapolis"
 Equally unperturbed was Dr. Craig s fourteen -year-old daughter Marian, who sat at his side throughout the ordeal.
 i Mir Inman told the jury how Dr. Knabe had become acquainted with pr Craig, who was a lecturer at the state veterinary college, how that acquaint- ance had resulted in a friendship which those who knew them expected to re- suit in marriage.
 Win Disprove Suicide Theory.
 'There will be no direct proof of an engagement between Dr. Craig and Dr Knabe. but circumstances will be l overwhelming in that direction he said.
 A few days before the woman's i death, MT. Inman asserted. there were signs of break between the two, but he secuted the idea that Dr. Knabe had committed suicide He declared that on the night Of her death she l had made a promise with patients for the following day.
 Persons who had heard somebody screaming in pr. Knabe's apartment shortly before 1 o'clock on the fateful night would be introduced to disprove the suicide theory, MT. Inman said.

Mexico City. Dec. 1.-Prestdent Hu- erta gave the people of the capital & thrill today by another of his period ical disappearance. For many hours no trace of him could be found, but he returned this afternoon to the national palace, saying he had been visiting q farm nearby.
 Early in the day it was reported that the president had left the capital and was on his way to Vera Cruz. Rail road officials claimed to have lrnowl- edge of General Huerta's departure on a special train. This gave rise to all sorts of rumors, which merely caused the president to reiterate his determin- ation, to remain at the head of the ad- ministration and continue his efforts toward the pacifcat1on of the country
 A resolution was introduced in the chamber of deputies today that the de- pertinent of finance be instructed not to pay to congressman any salary oth- CT than that due them as congressman. If the resolution is adopted 1t will save the country many hundreds of thousands of pesos annually. Many generals, who are now members of the lower house, would forfeit their sal aries from the war department
 The action was prompted by the fact that the constitution forbids & member of congress from drawing any other salary from the government than that in connection with his congress sional position. But a majority of the members of the present congress are on the payroll of the government in other departments.
