The seats outside the bar wore not more than half filled when the court opened this morning.

J. T. Rimer, a detective from Ogdeii, who arrested Steve Adams, in a fruit car at Odgeii. was recalled. Senator Koran stated to the court that in the statement mad'- by Orchard and the tesimony of uiHHi the stand yesterday that Steve Adams sent a telegram to Haywood, thus linking Adams as a coconspirator with Haywood, the state had the right to introduc" Pender's testimony as to the admissibility of the contents of the tele-ram.

Judge Wood said lie liad no doubt as to the admissability of evidence, but ruled that the state mist lay the foundation that the original telegram had been dest royt d.Mr. Richardson, for the defense, argued that there was no iossiide rule of law under which the evidence c.u'il be introduced. For th" sake of arrunu-nt he admitted thai A. lams a telegram to Haywood when lie was stranded and was boating hi- way back to Denver from the mining c.unp' in California, but maintained that this could be strained to mean tliat a conspiracy existed between Adams and I lav wood. Tic court admitted the testimony as a tedarat ion from Ad.iu..- whom the a'e set up as a eoiipirator.

The telegram read: D. Haywood. Denver. I am in Send me $7" at once. Steve Adams." Peiuler was briefly cross examined and left the stand.

IHE CITY IS IH MILITARY AIR AM Industrial Sections Are Filled With Troops as Precautionary Measure Against Strikes.

St. Petersburg, June 15. The second Russian parliament, the Associated Press is informed on ministerial authority will be dissolved to- I night by an imperial edict wheh will be promulgated as soon as the lower house acts on Pj emier Stolypin's ultimatum. The possibility of the house granting the government's demands for the susension of the social democrats is not being considered by either side. The city has again assumed the" appearance of an armed cam).

Throughout the night detachments of infantry and cavalry arrived here and the garrison of St. Petersburg today had doubled its ordinary strength. The industrial sections literally bristle with the troops and every railway station is occupied by infantry and cavalry. Armored military trains are held in readiness in view of the possibility of the outbreak of the railroad strike and reserves of all regiments were confined to the barracks. The parliamentary committee that has been examining the indictment against the social democrats, toda reiK)rted that it was impossible to rt view all the evidence and asked the house that it be given until Monday to rejiort.

Ths was accepted by the house and parliament adjourned until Monday. AND HADLEY ARE THRASHING OUT MISSOURI'S RATE LAWS TODAY. CO EXTENSIVE JURISDICTION Otherwise State Legislatures Would Simply be Wards of Federal Courts, Says Mr. Hadley. Kansas City.June 15.

Judge Smith McPherson. in district court here this afternoon heard the arguments both of- the state and Tighteen Missouri railways involved in the actions concerning the enforcement of the two cent and maximum freight rate acts. In the meantime the railways are obeying the edict of the federal court and are contiuing to do business ender the old laws despite the facts that new statutes went into effect yesterday. Attorney General Hadley arrived here from Jefferson City this morning to direct the state side of th case. Frank Hagerman, who opened the argument for the railways, said that Minnesota, Texas North and South Dakota rate cases had established a law to be that while the legislature may fix the rates it can only do so to the extent that they shall be fixed in a reasonable sum as to insure a reasonable return when the money is invested.

This right, he said, is constitutional and of it the railroad companies cannot be deprived. Attorney General Hadley followed for the state. In opposing the application of the railroads for a leave to file a sup plemental bill asking for a temporary injunction, restraining the railroad commissioners and himself from enforcing the freight' rate law and two cent law enacted in 1007, Hadley said in part: "The jurisdiction of the state courts in this matter is coextensive with the jurisdiction of federal courts and in order to maintain without controversy and friction our dual system of state and the federal sovereignity that the jurisdiction of state' courts should be recognized and respected. "If complainants are granted order asked for, legislation of a sovereign state can be le i. in constant tutelage by federal courts.

Such a condition would be destructive of our form of government and overthrow- that sovereignty which is reserved by state? under provisions of the federal constitution.
