ators. P.OI8B. Idaho, Sept. 23. In beginning tho
work here tod of Impaneling a Jury to
try tTnltod States Senator William K. Borah,
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
government of valuable timber lands, Din
irict Attorney Norman M. Rulck announced
that former Governor Frank Stounenberg
one of tho men indicted with Senator
BoraU for conspiracy. Steunenberg la rep
resented In the indictment aa John Doe.
The pane waa called today befora Judge
Kdward Whltson in the United States dis
trict court. The prominence of Senator
Borah In the politics of the state, hi per
sonal popularity In this, hi home town, the
leading part he took In the prosecution of
William Haywood, charged with the mur
der of Governor Steunenberg, caused un
usual interest to be taken In the proceed
ings. The fact that fully a hundred residents
of South Idaho are alleged to be Involved
with Senator Borah In the so-called con
spiracy, combined to attract an Interest In
the proceedings against him nearly equal
to that which marked the first of the
Western Federation of Miners' trlala here.
Imposing- Array of Counsel. .
The circuit court was crowded to over
flowing when 'Judge Wilson took the bench.
Th array of rousel on either side was im
posing. Tho government, whose represen
tatives here freely predict a hearing of
Bonsntlonti) Interest, have practically taken
the case from the hands of District Attor
ney Rulck, against whom charges of Im
proper conduct before the grand Jury have
been filed, and assigned the matter to
special attorneys trained in the timber land
law and fresh from successful prosecutions
in other western statea. These are M. G.
jjuiuu vi vcinni ina o. ft.. uan oi wmi,
both special assistants to the attorney
general of the United States. There also
was present today Timothy F. Burke,
United Btates district attorney at Cheyenne,
who was sent to Boise to assist the special
grand Jury now In session In its Investiga
tion of the charges against District At
torney Rulck. Senator Borah's attorneys
Include James II. Hawley, senior counsel
for the state In the Itavwnod inn ft If find
A. Fraier, B. Mj and Carl Paine, all local
Attorneys, and C, F. Bundy of Eau Claire,
(wis. ; The latter also represent the inter
est of the Barker Lumber company, the
corporation that Is said to have profited by
ine aitegea irauas ana some wnose of
ficers have been Indicted.
Allegations of Indictment.
The Indictment aratnst Senator Borah
allege that he, with twelve others named
a co-defendants, conspired to defraud the
government of many thousands of acres
of timber land In Boise county. As a re
sult of this alleged conspiracy It Is alleged
that 10 resident of Boise took out timber
claim and swore In doing so that they
were acting solely In their own Interests,
whereas these statements are alleged to
have been false and It Is alleged that ar
rangement had been entered Into whereby
th claimant were to turn their land over
to the other, who la turn were to trans
fer them to the Barber Lumber company,
whose officer make their headquarter In
Wisconsin, and who are aatd to be affiliated
with large lumber Interests- in the west.
Among the 10 Claimants are many of
Boise's best known sltlsen. In some In
stances Ave and six member of one family.
Including wives and daughter are Involved.
All of the thirteen men against whom In
dictments were returned have, with the
exception of Senator Borah and John Doe
and Richard Roe, rr.ed pleas of abatement
of the Indictments on the ground of mis
conduct on the part of the district at
torney. It being alleged that he made an
agreement before the grand Jury which is
prohibited by law and refused to - leave
the grand Jury room on one occasion when
requested to do so. Judge Whltson began
a hearing Saturday morning In open court
on theae charges, the special grand Jury
having the matter In hand being adjourned
for the time being1.
Senator Borah s trial, coming on with the
plea In abatement undecided, lends a new
complication to the situation for while he
ha not Joined them, a decision ad verse 1
t th government would seem to make
11 incumbent on the United Btates attor
ney to take cognisance of the matter in
hi case.

(From Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Bept. 23.-(Speclal Telegram.)
United Statea Senator Norrls Brown of
Kearney waa among the arlvats In Lincoln
today to attend the atate republican plat
form" conventions. With the senator and
one of the earliest arrivals on the scene
waa F. T. Wesfervelt of Scott's Bluff
nn.tn. . " T,- ........ 1. 1 1 .tl A . .
. , IIT , .7 jf U U I . ail laiiuiuBiw IUI IT"
gent. George Coupland of Elgin and C. B.
Anderson of Crete, arrived today.
Several names are being mentioned for
the position of state chairman and secre-
tary of the state committee, but the move
ment for no one candidate has assumed
morc than embryo form. Senator Brown
85 has nothing to give out for publication. He
jj says the convention will be well attended
jt and he thinks the republican outlook wss
never better In Nebraska.
7 Only a very few of the delegates to the
ZJ republican state convention reached the
city during the day, though all of the can
didates on the state ticket were here. The
candidates met this afternoon and con
ferred, but decided to make no recommen
dation to the state committee in the mat
ter of a chairman. There la nothing in
the law providing for tho candidates to
recommend a chairman, and consequently
the candidates, until invited to do so by
the committee, will make no move toward
selecting the hesd of the committee.
Caldwell Not n Candidate.
Among those who arrived today to at
tend the convention were Orlando Tefft of
Cass county. Judge Paul Jessen of Otoe
and E. T. Westervelt of Scott' Bluff. P.
A. Caldwell, defeated candidate for nomi
nation as railway commissioner on the re
publican ticket. Is a'so here. One or two
newspapers have been trying to get Cald
well to run for railway commissioner by
petition. Regarding this, the Clay county
man said:
"I have no Intention of making the race.
I was defeated at the polls by Mr. Clarke,
and as I said before. If Clurke had been
nominated by only one vote. It would have
been enough for me. Several parties have
suggested to me the advisability of run
ning by petition, but I have never con
sidered such a thing seriously. In my In
terview given over the telephone regard
ing the nomination of Clarke, the Impres
sion was given out that I felt very much
dissatisfied at the action of the governor,
as evidenced by the Cass county vote. I
did not mean to give out that Impression.
I Mo not charge the Cass county vote to the
governor. Of course. It was an endorse
ment of him, but what I mean Is that he
did not get out and campaign for Clarke."
Ohio for Tnft.
Walter D. Gullbert, state auditor of Ohio
and a Taft booster. Is among the arrivals.
Mr. Gullbert sold today that Ohio Is for
Taft "and that FSraker Is only ' making a
little fuss over there occasionally. "Mr.
Gullbert 1 meeting and talking with the
delegate In behalf of the secretary of war,
and he may attempt to get resolutions
adopted endorsing the Ohio man for the
presidency. Ho said he would prefer not
to say whether this was the object of hi
visit. He expressed himself as being well
pleased with the Taft sentiment In Ne
braska. Numerous resolutions will be ready far
the resolutions committee. Westervelt has
one to petition congress to put a tax on
sugar shipped from Cuba, while Judge
Jesben may' try to get adopted a resolu
tion petitioning congress to pass a law
making a rallrad having the right of emi
nent domain, or which files Its articles of
Incorporation In a state, a citizen of that
state. The result of this would be to stop
railroads rushing Into the federal court
whenever a little damage suit Is filed.
Usually the plaintiff has not enough money
td take his witnesses to Omaha or Lincoln
for an Indefinite period and the Judge be
lieves such a law would result in much
benefit to the people of the various states.
The republicans will meet In representative
hall at the state house.
Fnalonlats Are Seared.
Only a few democrats and one or two
populsts have arrived. Representative Cone
of Saunders represented the populists party
and George Rogers, P. A. McKllllp and
Henry C. Richmond the democrats. The
latter will meet In the senate chamber.

tates more cotton oil for blending, and
It is said that some growers always make
an average crop If It requires 80 per
cent of cotton oil to make the required

... ... . . , . ;
early the morning of September 12. and
alnce it has become known that $40,000 In
currency consigned by the Commercial Na-
t ona bank of Chicago to th Old Na -
tlonal bank of Spokane wa. the booty ob-i
talned by the robbers the searcher, have
redoubled their efforts. Capture seems In
evitable, aa the hounds, directed by Harry
Draper of Spokane, readily took up the
trail where the bandits used a raft In float
ing down the Kootanal river, near the
boundary, and followed it Into the heavy
timber In the fastness of tho mountains In
western Montana. The pursuers are ac
coutered for a long chase and If the dogs
can keep up the work over unbroken roads
and thick underbrush they should gain on
the men, who apparently are not prepared
for a long siege. It is given out by W. J.
Kommers, assistant cashier of the Old Na
tional bank, that It, as well as the Chicago
bank, insured the currency before It was
put Into the mails and that the insurance
concern will have to make good the loss.
