Cannon selected a large majorlty of members who live in the large cities #0 a8 to secure men with liberal ideas and whose experience in the govern- ment of municipalities will be hene- ficlal to this city. 5 When the speaker selectetl this committee it was done without regard to the temperance question, but the members were chosen solely for their qualifications, which will enable them to give the national capital a good government, But a canvass of the committee dis- closes the fact that if the question of prohibition is - presented it will be plgeonholed by a large majority. There are nineteen members, eleven of whom are from the large cities and eight from the small towns, three of them being opposed to prohibition. DEFENSE OF PETTIBONE. Attorney Darrow Outlines Case to Jury at Boise. Boise, Ida, Dec. 27.—Too 1ll to stand while speaking to the jury Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense in the Pettibone trial, sat in his chaiv as he outlined his case. He spoke with effort at times and never raised his voice above a conversation- al tone. The members of the jury-and an audience that crowded the court- room listened to every word from the Chicago attorney’s lips as he explained the theory of the defense. Darrow’s statement made it evident that to a great degree the same line of defense would be followed as in the Haywood Vi CLARENCE S. DARROW. He reviewed briefly the early life of Pettibone in Pennsylvania and of his coming West and engaging in mining in the Couer d’Alenes, where he became president of the Gem union. In 1892, Darrow said, the defendant left the Couer d’Alenes and never en- gaged in mining again. After Petti- bone went to Denver he became an honorary member of the Western Federation of Miners, but never had anything to do with forming policies of that organization. Darrow Forced to Leave Boise. Boise, Ida., Dec. 28.—Clarence Dar- row, chief counsel for the defense in the case of G. A. Pettibone, charged with complicity in the Steunenberg assassination, has retired from the case, for the present at least, on ac- count of his health.

FIGHT PLAN OF EMPLOYERS Goldfield Miners’ Union Will Oppose Injunction. Goldfield, Nev., Dec. 28.—Officials of {he Miners’ union and C. E. Mahoney, vice president of the Western Federa- tion, have learned of the plan of the mine owners of Goldfield to obtain an injunction through the federal courts preventing picketing and bringing about the dissolution of the Goldfield Miners’ union. Asked what the course of the miners would be in face of this latest move of the opposition Mahoney said: “Any judge or set of men who faney that the Goldfield miners will tamely submit to such procedure are greatly mistaken. I would favor ignoring any such corder from any court in existence. We shall fight it with every weapon at our disposal. “I assume that the watchers or ex- aminers suggested' in the bill of com- plaint means deputy United States marshals. These would tend to embit- ter the elements to this controversy more than federal troops.” FAINTS ADDRESSING COURT Member of First Duma Contracts Con- sumption In Prison. St. Petersburg, Dec. 28.—The trial on charges of treason of the members of the first duma who signed the Vi- borg manifesto calling upon the citi- zens of Russia to stand up for their rights was interrupted by a painful occurrence.

Portland, Ore,, Dec. 28—In a far- reaching answer to a complaint brought in the state circuit court the Northern Pacific Terminal company, a Harriman corporation, avers that the Portland and Seattle Railway com- pauy, one of the James J. Hill lines, is doing business illegally and therefore is without standing in court in seek- ing to condemn a right of way across the terminal yards in Portland. 1 The Terminal company avers that the Portland and Seattle road is owned jointly by the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads and that the three roads are units of one great | system; .that there is no competition between them; that the formation of the Portland and Seattle was to se- | cure rights of way at strategic points to prevent competition: that the for- | mation of a third company by the Great Northern and Northern Pacific is in violation of the statutes of Min- nesota and Wisconsin, under the laws | of which the two last named roads are incorporated, and, finally, the an- | swer asserts the alleged attempt at preventing competition is in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. | FIGHT EIGHT-HOUR LAW. | Wisconsin Central to Test Statute Reg- | ulating Operators. { Madison, Wis.,, Dec. 28.—It became known here that the Wisconsin Cen- tral railvroad is contemplating a legal fight to test the validity of the Elever eight-hour law applying to telegraph operators of the railroads of the state. ‘While the Northwestern and the St. Paul roads will, temporarily at least, obey the law the latter roads will at- tach telephone systems to block wires and will try the telephone system. Assemblyman Elever, the author of the law, said he would personally see | that the first violation of the law, after it went into effect on Jan. 1, would be followed by prosecution in order to test the constitutionality of the act as soon as possible. The smaller roads of the state, it is said. will obey the law until results of the telephone experiments and the | legal fight over the law are made Kknown. e Assemblyman Elever says that the | law also applies to train dispatching by telephone and therefore the roads will gain nothing by putting in a tele- phone system.
