WELL UNDER COVER fHurried Conferences Are Held By the Attorneys for the Defense in the Trial of Hay wood at-Boise. ADJOURNMENT WAS TAKEN TO MONDAY. Little Progress Has Been Made Thus Far in the Work Of Securing a Jury Spe cial Panel Ordered. Boise, Idaho, May 10. There were sensational developments in the trial of Haywood today that were kept decidedly under cover. First was a hurried conference of the attorneys for the defense and agents of the Western Federation of Miners. There also was held a conference by the de fendant's attorneys and several mys terious strangers who crept into town last night and left early this morn ing. The opening of the trial on Thurs day went through to its conclusion in quiet harmony, unmarked by unusual incident. Its striking feature was the entire absence of crowds or demon fctration in any form. At no time, morning or afternoon. wa3 the court room more than half filled, and the street3 forming court house square contained not a single loiterer. The case was halted shortly before 5 o'clock by the exhaustion of the jury panel and adjournment was taken until Monday. Meantime the sher iff will summon a special venire of 100 men. The eleven men under examination, but not yet finally accepted or rejected, were locked up and will be closely guarded. Leaves it to His Lawyers. llayvood took practically no part in the selection of jurors and seems rontent;'to'?eavc'i1iwaferiilIfyin the handj of his lawyers. Haywood gave no sign of any feeling or emotion, but sat quietly throughout the day. Mrs. Haywood and the older daughter stood the ordeal apparently well, but the younger child cried after the examination of talesmen began. Mrs. Haywood or her children did not attend the afternoon session. The questioning of the defense took a much wider range than that of the 'ate and its most striking feature dealt with the possible effect vpon the minds and attitude of jurors of the letter of President Roosevelt in calling Haywood and his associates "undesirable citizens," the speeches in Idaho of Secretary Taft, the message of Governor Gooding to the legislature of Idaho, the speech in Boise of Senator Heyburn and the action of the Idaho legislature in passing a resolution appropriating money for the prosecution of the three prisoners. A remarkable feature of the examination was that most of the talesmen Questioned by the defense swore that they had not been influenced by the letter of President Roosevelt or the speeches of other officials of the national or state governments, and a majority of them said they were republicans. Questions of the State. The chief concern of the counsel for the state in the examination of talesmen, as indicated by their questions, was their attitude toward circumstantial evidence, the absence of the accused from the state when the crime was committed, the effect of the manner in which the prisoner and liis companions were brought from Colorado, view of the talesmen to the death pecalty for murder iu the first degree, and union labor. The custom of the Idaho courts in selecting juries for criminal cases is to call twelve talesmen to the jury box and to keep the box 'full by immediately filling any vacancies that occur. The state first conducts a complete examination that continues until twelve men have been passed, when the body of talesmen pass to the defense for examination. The state l;issed twelve men early and the general examination is in the hands of the defense. Of these eleven men nre remaining in the box. Only three nave been passed by both sides. They have not been finally accepted and .worn and still subject to peremptory challenges. Thy are A. I. Kwing. a carpenter, and veteran of the civil war; William VanOrsdale, a grocer, of Boise and J Samuel D. Gilman, a farmer, who lives in the country ten miles from Boise.

ABSORPTION REPORT

GIVEII DENIAL HERE A. C. Lindemuth Says Bell Company Has not Secured Marion, 0., Plant. THE SITUATION IN INDIANA IT WILL BE THOROUGHLY GONE OVER AT THE MEETING TO BE HELD IN INDIANAPOLIS, MAY 15 AND 16. Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, in the past few weeks by a number of papers throughout this section of the country, the Marion, O., Inde pendent telephone plant has not been absorbed by the Bell interests, according to the statement of A. C. Linde muth. He characterized the state ment as "hot air" from the beginning to end, and that there never has been a thought entertained lor tne merger of the plants in this one town. Mr. Lindemuth also expressed himself on the Indiana merger, of which so much has been said in the past few weeks, and stated that he did not think the consultation May 14 in Indianapolis, between the Bell and Independent companies, would result in either company absorbing any one part of the other. The whole proposition, however, will be discussed thoroughly, but no definite action will be taken at the meeting. The convention of the independents in Indianapolis, which will be held May 3-" and 30, will be one of the largest ever held in the country. Mr. Lindemuth has been requested to furnish reports of the meeting for a large number of electrical .and telephone magazines. NEW COMMISSIONER HAS TAKEN OFFICE. G. TV.

One of the candidates who was forced to leave home is resting secure in the knowledge that her campaign is being ably managed by her sister and two brothers. Another who lives in the country and works In Richmond has left the management of her campaign in the country to her father. All are working systematically and the steady stream of votes pouring in to their credit shows the result of this kind of work. (.Continued on Page Two.)

The city and country received the news with glad acclaim, salutes being fired by government troops at all stations and the people joined to make the day one, of celebration. : i JUSTHELPYOURSELF TO CRACKED . STOIIE This Seems to Be the Plan Followed in Reference to Supply at County Jail. QUESTION A ROCKY ONE. SHERIFF MEREDITH CALLS ON THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR INFORMATION WHICH HE DOESN'T GET. Sheriff Meredith appeared before the board of public works for the purpose of getting some information concerning what the city intended 'to do about the cracked rock, the handiwork of the prisoners at the county jail, which the citv asreed to oay the county 25 cents a load. The sheriff was unable to ex - tract any information from the board and in the meantime the stone contin ues to remain unpaid for. Sheriff Meredith, makes the remark able statement that the Home Telephone company has been using stone cracked at the county jail and has al so neglected to make a settlement for the same. "They have just been driving up and hauling the stone away," remarked the sheriff. He stated that he would not"sk the telephone company to pay for this stone and intimated that the county would hold the city accountable for all the stone cracked at the jail which has been removed from the jail yard. Question a Rocky -One. President Merrill cannot shed any light on the stone- sestion, which gives promise of being a rocky one "Why doesn't the county present its bill?" demands Mr. Merrill. He states that the county cannot expect to collect anything off the city until it presents its account for settlement. Mr. Merrill also states that he knows nothing about the Home Telephone company using stone cracked at the county jail.' He also states that he does not know whether Street Commissioner Ed Dye ever kept account of the number of loads of crushed stone used in repairing and making thej streets. It is an assured fact that a large quantity of the stone used by the city will never be paid for as it is understood that ex-Sheriff Smith never kept an account of the stone taken by the city, and it is also understood that former Street Commissioner Genn failed to keep such a record. Sheriff Meredith states that he has a record of all the stone that has been taken by the city and the Home Telephone company, and the county will no doubt make an effort to obtain a settlement for this stone.

RETURN OF PRISONERS. EXPENDITURES FOR THIS ARE ALLOWABLE ONLY IN CASE OF MURDER OR ESCAPED PRISONERSACTION RECONSIDERED. County Attorney John F. Robbins states that the county commissioners are not to blame for refusing to appropriate money to be used to meet expenses of returning law breakers to this county for trial and punishment He states that the commissioners have taken this stand on his advice. "The state law and not the county commissioners are to blame because there, 'is no fund available in this county for returning fugitives to Justice," said Mr. Robbins. "Under the county reform law it is provided that county commissioners cannot appropriate such a fund except in cases where the fugitive has committed very serious crime, such as murder, or when the fugitive is an escaped prisoner. "Even the most liberal interpreta tion of tho law. In my opinion, cannot permit the expenditure of the county's money for returning fugitives, except in such cases as I have noted." con tinued Mr. Robbins. "I admit that the state law in this respect is very weak but I havvi told the commissioners that it cannot be overlooked and that It would be illegal for them to construe it In any broader sense than the way in which I have outlined it to them." Action is Reconsidered. The commissioners have reconsidered their action in ; refusing to allow the claim of Sergeant McManus for the expense he was put to in returning George- Li pscom be, arrested at Columbus, O., to this city. The sergeant will be allowed his expenses in this particular case but the police were informed by Sheriff Meredith that in the future no claims for expenses in returning fugitives would be considered by the commissioners except in the most important cases and then the officers before going 'after the law breaker must first notify the commissioners or the county attorney. It is understood that the money put up by Ex-Sjeriff Smith to meet the expenses of Chief Bailey's trip to California to return John Locke has never: Ift-u refunded to him by the c-oinniid- i sioriers. ine young embezzler capmred last fall in Canada by Chief Dai ley was returned to this city at the x pen.e of the bank whicii he had vic tunized. ;
