Stoat of t fie Jurymen Are Farmers 01 Ex-Farmers Views of Counsel on the Panel Defense Is Critical. noise, Ida., June 4. Twelve men to try William I). Haywood for his lue on the charge that he murdered Governor Frank Steuneuberg have been chosen and bound by oath to honet!y deal justice between state and pris oner. Haywood has beard the inlhtmeut jharging him with ihe crime, and today, after the state has recited its casj and made promise of proof, the tirst chapter of the tale of the Caldwell crime will be retold. The wearisome work of jury selection ended quickly and unexpectedly. Alfred Eoff, tho first talesman examined, was declared qualified after strong and repeated protests from the defense. Deiense Gets Hid of Eoff. Eoff said he had an opinion; that he would cany his opinion into the trial; that he could not presume the defendant innocent, and that he would not like to be trir-d himself by a man who Lad any opinion, but despite these conditions of his mir.d lie thought that if sworn as a juror he rould fately try the case according to the law and evidence. Fclki' challenges for cause against him failed, but the minute he was passed the defense expended its tenth and last peremptory challenge to get rid of him. Next Talesman Proves the Last. Q. V. Sehern, tho next talesman called, proved the last one needed. When a resident of Wyoming Vetera served as n member of the Tom Horn jury and the defense went into the question quite thoroughly, but in the end the talesman qualified in a manlier satisfactory to both sides. The defense had contemplated making a request for permission to reopen the examination of certain jurors, but this plan was abandoned, and when Judge Wood ordered the jury sworn no objection came from either side. Jury Is July Sworn. The court room came to silence as the twelv? rose in their places and facing 1he clerk's desk raised their right hands iu solemn asseveration of their pledge to do exact justice by the accused. It was an impressive scene and there came another two hours later when, after the mid-day recess. Haywood listened to the leading of the indictment against himself, Meyer, Pettiboue and Simpklns. COMPOSITION OF THE JURY What Is Thought of It by Counsel on Each Side. The jury is composed of Thomas B. Gess, real estate; Flnley MeBean, rancher; Samuel 1. Gillmau, farmer; Daniel Clailr, farmer; George Powell, rancher; O. V. Sebern, farmer; II. F. Messeiar, farmer; Lee Scrivener, farmer; J. A. Robertson, fanner: Levi Smith, can eater; A. P. Burns, retired rancher, and Samuel F. Russell, farmer. In a joiutinterview with Parrow and Richardson after the empaneling of the jury, the following statement was made by them: "The Haywood jury Is made up of eight Republicans, three Democrats and one Prohibitionist. "There is no man on the jury who works for wages or who has ever belonged to a labor organization excepting Burns, who was a member of the carpenters' union fourteen years ago, or who has ever been a student of trades unionism or the lbor question. "In the 200 or odd jurors drawn not more than three trades unionists were placed in the panel, and these were excuses! for conscientious objections to capital puishment and fixed opinions. The jurors drawn have been mainly farmers, Interspersed with a large number of bankers and some business men. The jurors appear to be men of honest purposes, determined to give the defendant a fair trial, but it is uni formerly made up of a class to which none of the defendants ever belonged, and who have no natural kin ship to labor organizations. "In addition to this, they are drawn from a small county almost wholly agricultural, and each member for a year and a half has read little about the case except what has been contained in the Boise daily papers, and this lias uniformerly been hostile to the defendants. Nearly all of them admitted that they had formed opinions and impressions from what they read ' and necessarily these must have been against the defendant." Commenting on the jury, James II. Ilawloy, loading counsel for the state, said: "We are thoroughly satisfied with the jury. We have twelve fairminded men who will do even justice between the state and the defendant." Haywood Again Taken HI. Boise. Ida., June 4. Date last night W. P. Haywood was again taken sick. , He asked the sheriff to send for a doctor, and the county physician was at ' once summoned. Dr. Lewis prepared a prescription which Haywood tcolc . rnd afterwards said that he felt be, ter.

FINE STATUE IS UNVEILED Located in the City Where He Presided Over the Confederacy. Attempt to Bring In Politics Frowned Down Bryan Given an Ovation by the Multitude. Is Richmond, Ya., June 4. Under n perfect sky, with bands playing "Dixie'' and "Maryland," the rem nants of the armies of the gray passed through the streets of Richmond, and out on splendid Monument avenue unveiled an enduring memorial to Jefferson Davis, the first and only president of the Confederate States of America. The event came as the climax of the reunion of the United Confederate Yeterans, and every member of the body of old men wtio was able to walk at all took part. Second only to the tribute given by the speakers to the memory of Dixie land's great chieftain were those offered on every hand to the women of the south whose gift the monument is. Great Ovation to Bryan. The speeches counselled the teaching of loyality to the cause for which the southern states struggled, but there was nothing in the teachings but what excited the sympathy and approval of visitors from the other section. That the great multitude had gathered for one purpose alone " was evidenced by the attitude of the people toward William J. Bryan, who was the guest of the reunion. He was given a remarkable ovation as he drove through the streets in the line of march, and cheered to the echo as he mounted the stand just befoi-e the programme was begun. Attempt to Introduce Politics. At the conclusion of the ceremony there was a number of calls for him to address the people, lut these were immediately drowned in a chorus of "No, No, No," many times repeated. The objections came from everywhere and were led by the women of tho Jefferson Davis Monumnt association; also General Stephen D. Lee, grand commander, who presided at the stand, announced in ringing tones: "There will be no politics here." He turned to the crowd in every direction and shouted the warning, and it had the desired effect. Bryan Tried to Keep Out of Sight. During the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Bryan had occupied an inconspicuous position in the rear of the speakers' stand, out o.f the sight of the people. As soon as his name was called Bryan made a movement as though to withdraw from the stand. He realized that if he appeared before the people a political move would be attributed to him by many, and for that reason he had opposed going on the stand at all. The prompt suppression of the calls by General Lee and others saved an embarrassing situation. Davis' Descendants Presented. One of the touching Incident of the day was the presentation of the desendants of Jefferson Davis to the great throng, which cheered him several minutes.

The extended strike of the seamen has virtually come to an end with the capitulation of the strikers, who are expected to resume work at the home and colonial ports at once. Captain Lapeyre, ons of the strikers' delegates, conveyed this Information to Minister of Marine Thompson. He informed M. Thomp son that the strike committee, assem: bled in Paris, had telegraphed the fol lowing message to all ports: "The delegates have been in con ference with the minister of marine and the naval committee of the eham ber of deputies. The minister has abandoned the prosecution of desert ers, and he has requested the navi gation companies to reinstate all offi cers and men. The members of the naval committee assured the delegates that M. Thompson's proposition in the matter of pensions would be improved The delegates therefore unanimously propose that the strike cease." What Thomson Told Them. In the course of his conference with the strikers' delegates M. Thompson declared it was impossible to accede to Their demands. lie said, however, that any proposition would be conslderel If the strikers returned to duty immedi ate'y, in which case no punishment would be meted out and the ship own ers would be requested to retain Loth officers and men in their former po sitions. The firm attitude of the min ister and his promise that no penaltle ... wouia ue mnictea, apparantiy con vinced the strikers that it would be wiser to accept the government's pro posal to increase the pensions of sea men from ?40.SO to $72 and of officers from ?loG to $200 a year than to con tinue to paralyze commerce and thus entirely alienate the sympathy of th public, which already has been great ly strained. Similar Advice from An6ther. Later In the day delegates received similar advice from the president of The naval committee of the chamber of deputies, who declared that although the committee was prepared to exam, ine the men's demands carefully he did not think parliament could adopt a more liberal measure that that offered by the government. At the end of this conference the delegates talked the matter over together, with the result that the message unreservedly advising their comrades to return to their duties was drawn up and sent Army Worms Stop Trains.
