Boise, May 17. When the Haywood trial was about to begin this morning Judge Wood caused a decided sensation by announcing that he had read in the morning papers articles concerning an interview with the state's most important witness, Harry Orchard. The jury and witnesses were excluded from the court room while the matter was considered. The Judge declared these publications were highly improper, coming as they did during the impaneling of the jury. "While they appear to the court as not precisely in continued the Judge, "they are never the less calculated to influence the jury.

Something must be done ro prevent a recurrence of this if we ever expec to get, a jury. The court is much surprised at this publication at this time and will be glad to hear from the counsel on the subject." Hawley. senior counsel for the state, said their side was opposed to the publication of anything at any time tending to prejudice possible jurors. Judge Wood replying said: "If the purpose of these publications is to influence the jury there is a way to reach it." Hawley said in answer to prosecution would heartily assent to any method the court might adopt. Richardson, counsel for Haywood said: "I don't know and, therefore, I don't say these publications came from the prosecution, but they are very obvious." Doesn't Blame Counsel lor State.

Richardson said he exonerated the counsel for the prosecution from what had occurred. He said Orchard after being secluded for fifteen minutes had suddenly been made accessible while they were in the midst of jury selection. It occurred in the examination of one of the jurors the other day, he said, that there was some prejudice perhaps against Orch ard and his testimony. Attaches Blame to Governor. "Therefore the Governor," continu ed Richardson, "organized a party and takes the newspaper fraternity not all, but several representatives of the Associated Press and that portion of the press which is reporting the trial' agreeably and colorably down to the penitentiary and has them interview this man, Orchard, "It was done for the express pur- pose of influencing these jurors, to give credence to the testimony of this witness.

"It was a dastardly outrage on this defendant." Accuses Gooding of Unfairness. "We especially object to the purported interview of Governor Gooding saying what he had done to establish the credence of the witness. Orchard. If it were not patent be- fore that the Governor never intended that this defendant should have a fair trial, it is very evident now." Clarence Darrow for the defense followed Richardson and said: "There can be but one purpose in this joint reception of Governor Gooding and his friend Orchard. It was to influence the case at this point." Would Arraign Gov.

for Contempt. Darrow said every man must i Know the statement of the Governor as to Orchard's waiver of immunity was manifestly untrue. i "We are continued Par-j row. "to try this defendant face to! face with all who witness against him. I think the Governor should; be called in here before this court to answer for what he has done." Rights of (he Press.

Hawley. after saying he was quite: willing to follow any action the court might take, said he could see no reason why the authorized representatives of the Associated Press should not have been allowed to see Orchard in order that it might give the public information as to the men tal or physical condition of Orchard. He could, however, understand how an interview with the governor, purporting to give an expression of opinion of the governor might have a bad effect." Will Be ail Investigation. Judge Wood directed the prosecuting attorney to make an investigation of the facts and take such action as he deemed warranted. Borah Defended Governor.

Senator Borah, the last attorney to speak, charged that the defense was running newspapers whose sole obiect was to create prejudice in the minds of the people. "We do not run newspapers," he declared with fee ins. "The newspaper men who have come to this trial have a perfect right to their opinions, and to an expression of them. They would be ninnies and fools if they came here without opinions. I resent the proposition that they intend to control or influence this jury in any way." Borah spiritedly defended Governor Gooding.

The trial was interrupted an hour, at the end of which time, the examination of talesmen was resumed. City Marshall, John Stewart, Attorneys J. A. Brady, L. P.

Brooks, and Messrs. D. C. Drumhiller and John McCrura went to Independence to attend court today. DEPLORES PUBLICATION ORCHARD INTERVIEW.

STANDARD GOT THIS OXE. Paola Refinery Reported to Have Been Taken over bv Trust. A couple of weeks ago an item appeared in this paper stating that the Independence Rubber plant had taken over the Paola refinery. Later reports are to the effect that the Paola refinery was purchased bv agents of the Standard Oil Co. The Iola Record is responsible for the following: H.

H. Jones and several other Iola and Humboldt men have sold their interests in the Paola Refinery company at Paola, Kas. The deal was made by a Mr. J. A.

Dr. Reed and wife furnished the music in their usual good style. Every one saw the hour for departing arrive with much regret, and declared they had very much enjoyed both the lecture and the dance. TO DISCARD ELKS TEETH. Grand Exalted Ruler Discourages the Use of Them.

The Cherryvale lodg of Elks has received a letter from Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin enclosing a copy of a letter from President Roosevelt, relative to the reported destruction of elk for the purpose of getting teeth. President Roosevelt says that it has been reported to him that many elk have been slaughteded for no oth er purpose than to obtain their teeth. He expresses the hope that the lodges of Elks will take measures to discourage the use of elk teeth as emblems of membership and as ornaments. Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin has taken the matter up with the order throughout the country, and is urging the discontinuance of the use of the teeth. Many lodges have already taken action against a continuance of the use of teeth.

Before a meeting with the police board the Governor in an interview outlined in no uncertain language his plan of action. "The police department," said Governor Folk, "must be cleaned of every element of graft. The idea of any police officer paid to serve the public being really in the service of a private corporation is abhorrent to every sense of right. All forms of gambling must be stamped out. Officers in whose beat, or in whose district gambling is found to exist should be discharged for not knowing of it, if by exercise of reasonable diligence they could know it.

Officers frequenting saloons while in umtorm should have their uniforms taken away. The St. Louis police department has been cleaned up and Kansas City is entitled to a department, as good as it can be made. The investigation will continue until any crookedness that may exist is uncovered and all evils cleaned out, no matter how long it may take." Short Local Stories Attended the Shoot.

May 17. Scenes of wild excitement in the wheat pit were renewed at the opening this morning. The market, however, instead of opening at a higher level, as expected by many, showed sharp declines on the initial transactions, losses ranging from a half cent to two cents. Within fifteen minutes, however, the market not only regained the opening loss bat in some cases advanced a cent and a half above yesterday's close. July deliveries opened at 9 612 cents to 9S and soon advanced to 99.

September wheat opened at 9S1i i 9 9 and touched $1.01. December deliveries touched $1.01 after opening at 99 $1 1.00. HELD BIG SHOOT. Mr. and Mrs.

Charle3 Gaither. Large Continuous Tank to Be Added and Other Equipment AVhich Will Increase Output. Manager George Carney of the Cherryvale Glass plant stated to The Republican today that his company had decided on several extensive improvements for the plant this summer, among which will be the construction of a large continuous tank, and erection of a big 42 inch draft chimney. Work on these will be done during the summer vacation which, it is expected, will begin not earlier than June 30. This company is doing a prosperous business.

Unlike many other glass factories they have no trouble in marketing their products. At present they employ about 100 men. The increased equipment and added facilities will require the addition of at least 25 more men. The Cherryvale glass plant is one of the most valuable of our many industrial enterprises. It does a good business, employing 100 workmen, nearly all of whom are skilled laborers.

It is a noticeable fact that the same issue of this paper which announces the loss of one Cherryvale factory employing about 30 workmen also announces the enlarging of another Cherryvale industry which will increase its force almost as many and with greater wages than are paid the workmen about to leave. In view of this, do you know of any reason why you should quit boosting, if a booster, or if not one why you should not join their ranks and holler for the best town on earth. All together now for the b. t. o.

e. OF INTEREST TO VETERANS. Treasury Department Gives Out Information Regarding Bounties. Colonel R. A.

Campbell, department commander of the G. A. R. has just received an official announce ment from the. treasury department at Washington, regardinng bounties of Civil war soldiers.

Most veterans have received all the bounty due them but still there are quite a few who have not. Following is the circular just received by Colonel Campbell, giving instructions to claimants: "Treasury department, office of Auditor for the war department, Washington, D. April 6, 1907. The act of March, 19 07, applies to soldiers of the Civil war anly and makes no provision for the payment of any bounty other than that previously mentioned and authorized by law. It does not authorize the payment of any new bounty.

"Nearly all soldiers or their heirs, have already received all bounty due under existing laws. "The following cases only are affected by this act: "Where additional bounty under the act of July 28, 1900, has been denied because ia was claimed before July 2, IS SO, it may not be allowed. This bounty is not due in any case where the soldier has received more than $100 bounty altogether for all his services, and is never allowed to any but two or three vears' men. It is not payable to a soldier discharged before he has served two years to accept promo tion, or for a disability other than wounds received in service and in line of duty, or to- drafted men or substitutes. "Second Where a soldier receiv ed an advance installment of the $300 recruit bounty, or of the $4 00 veteran bounty and was required to refund, or pay back $25 of that advance installment because he was discharged by proomtion, or otherwise before a service of two years as an enlisted man, said $25 may be allowed.

"This law does not apply to sailors who served in the navy only. "In all letters to this office the full name of the soldier and each company and regiment in which he served, with the dates of enlistments and discharge as near as can be should be stated. If the soldier is now dead the relationship of the nearest of kin should also be given. B. F.

MOORE WAS ELECTED PITTSBURG EDITOR CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. Other Candidates Withdraw and Election Was Unanimous- Crummer Made Speech. Topeka. May 111. By unanimous vote the Republican state central committee today elected Jackson T.

Moore, editor of light, chairman. the Pittsburg Head- No other candidate was nominated. A resolution prosented by W. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson, indorsing Taft's candidacy, was adopted.

The meeting was well attended. About a dozen proxies were presented. It took only thirty minutes to transact all of the business. S. C.

Crummer, the retiring chairman, who becomes chairman of the tax commission, told what the party had done, especially its work in the last legislature. His speech was to the Square Dealers. After Mr. Crummer presented his resignation, D. W.

Mulvane, of Topeka, moved to accept, and therewith offered a resolution of appreciation for Mr. Crummer's faithful work. Morton Albaugh nominated Mr. Moore. W.

took the chair in Crummer's place, and Albaugh moved the election to be by acclamation. Dan Anthony, of Leavenworth, "congressman-elect," acted as secretary in the absence of Clyde Miller, of Osage City. When Moore took the chair he received a "hand." "I will do the best I can for the party," said the new chairman. "I wish to work with all the members of the committee to keep out all factionalism, and I'll pledge you there won't be any so far as I am concerned." Jackson T. Moore is an Illinois product and conies of a newspaper family.

His father entered the newspaper field in the East in 1813. The son learned the trade in Illinois, and when his father came to Kansas and founded the Headlight, he began work with the Pittsburg publication and has been identified with it every year save one, which was spent in Kansas City. Moore built forty grips for the old Ninth street line, and later was employed by the Missouri Pacific. He returned to Pittsburg and after his father's death took full charge of the Headlight. He is president of the Pittsburg Gas and Electric Light plant, and has never held a political office.

His friends hnow him as "Doc," a nickname applied in boyhood. He is 4 2 years old. S. C. Crummer, retiring chairman, denying the "Square Dealers" charge that corporations dominated the last Republican convention, and prevented needed legislation, called attention to these laws, aimed directly at corporations enacted by the last legislature: Allowing railroad commissioners to intervene in certain cases brought by interstate commerce commission; compelling railroads to furnish cars for shippers and providing a penalty of $5 per day per car for failure; reducing passenger rates to cover three-fourths of the traffic of the state to 2 cents per mile, reducing the rate on grain and grain products 15 per cent; authorizing railroad commissianers to designate certain points as terminals, thus preventing the shipment of freight across the state line into Missouri; requiring railroad companies to pay double price for confiscated coal; requiring railroad trains carrying stock to run at a minimum speed of fifteen miles per hour; making sixteen hours the limit a railroad company may require an employe to work without rest; prohibiting free transportation; requiring railroad corporations to furnish double-decked cars for the transportation of sheep; requiring all freight trains which carry cabooses, to haul passengers: requiring railroads and other corporations to furnish shelter for men employed in repairing cars, machinery, etc.

He also called attention to the fact that the "Square Dealers" defeated the enactment of a primary election law. No Chance for Democrat. When we nominate a southern man for the nresidencv we want it done with a chance of electing him. Birmingham Ledger. Parasites.

There no longer seems to be any doubt but that the United Iron Works Co. will move their Cherry- vale plant over to Independence. This paper has had evidence of such intention on the part of the company for many weeks past but has not felt at liberty to publish We have been repeatedly told by Mr. Le-Bow, manager of the local plant that definite arrangements had not yet been made. All of which was correct but the contract was signed yesterday for a $60,000 plant to be built at Independence, the agreement being entered into between the Independence Commercial club and C.

H. Cole, president of the United Iron Works Co. In regard to this matter The Republican will say that if the United Iron Works Co. decides to move their foundry from Cherryvale, it ia all right. We are powerless to prevent such move even if we chose to do so.

But this much we do say: If Mr. Cole and his associates are of the opinion that they can move to Independence and carry with them the Cherryvale business they are laboring tinder a delusion which will be dissolved shortly after they get in their new home. Cherryvale has ample business for a foundry and it will not have to go begging for one. Two prominent business men told the writer today that another foundry would be located here in a very short time. With the business of the smelter, six brick plants, a glass factory, a shovel factory, an oil refineiy an electric" light plant and half a score of other lesser plants here, all of which would be greatly inconvenienced by having to go to Independence for their work, it does not require a very long stretch of the imagination to conclude that Cherryvale will soon have an iron foundry of its own.

This article is not published as a threat or bluff against the United Iron Works Co. Cherryvale has always harbored the most friendly feelings for this company and all our relations have been cordial but the company considered it only in the light of a plain business proposition. They deemed it the part of wisdom to move and now Cherryvale must look out for another industry, which she will do and without delay. BUTCHERED INNOCENT PEOPLE.
