I GRAZY MAN DECLARES HE MURDERED TYLER. Unkempt Individual Creates Scene in Court at Wallace WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 20.—“It is the heart that moves the hand. T 'am| the man that killed Fred Tyler. Turn | all these other fellows loose, for I am | the man that done the déed.” This was the announcement which startled Judge Woods' court this morn- ing. A small, dark stranger with long black hair and a stubby beard was standing up beside Steve Adams, pro- claiming himself guilty of the crime for which Adams was on trial. A commotion followed. Mrs. Adams burst into tears. himself turned pale. Seized,by two officers, the stranger was hurtied from the courtroom to the | Sheriff's office. There he sald his name was Patrick C. Ryan of Butte; that he had just finished a term in Deer Lodge penitentlary for stealing mutton ana after belng released had gone to Burke, where Rooséevelt's daughter had told him to come to Wallace and take charge of this case. He said if Adams were convicted an earthquake would destroy the Couer d’Alenes. Ryan will be committed to the asylum. Adams says he does not know the man. This morning’= session of the court was taken up mainly with reading the testimony given by Coroner Keys at the proliminary hearing, the attorneys having agreed to this method owing to the Coroner's illness. His tesumony related largely to the condition of the body of Tyler and the surroundings where it was foiund {A the woods. The reading was not concluded when court adjourned at noon. 3 While the defense 8till conceals its policy, signs have led to the.prediction that Adams’ attorneys will endeavor to cast _doubt on the identification of Ty- ler's body and will also uphold the the- ory that Adams was not in the Marble Creek region.at the time. The afternoon feature was the evi- dence of, Detective James McParland. McParland testified that he had never been employed specifically rgainst the Western Federation of Miners, but in- stances hdd arisen where he had found them to commit crimes.. He denied that he had agreed with Governor Gooding and Warden Whitney to subject Adams to five or six days' solitary confinement and that at the end af that time he would be ready “to cowgh it all up.” He denfed that he administered what is known as the “third degree” to Adams. The third degree means subjection of & prisoner to solitary confinement and then asking and leading him on to con- fess. He denied that he had made any g{mngemems by which Adams and Or- chard should be locked up-together and that he had called from time to time‘to see what progress Orchard was making toward getting Adams to corroborate the confession. He admitted that he went to see Adams February 26 with a view to getting him to confess. He ad- mitted that he took him into the inner room of the Warden's office-and gave him a cigar and told him that he was his friend and admitted telling Adams his own past history. He admitted a | lengthy dissertation’ to Adams on \his | duty toward society, his wife, family | and daughter. C. S.

The exhibits have also been worked over and finishing touches added here and there to increase the artistic ¢fect of the various displays. Thursdfiy will be devoted to receiv- ing and entertaining the Elks. There will be a large attendance, as the Peta- luma and ‘Santa Rosa lodges of Elks have chartered a special train. The lgrgest attendance at the fair will be on Friday, as It is a holiday, and especially set aside as Sonoma and Napa County day. There will be spe- cial trains from- Napa, Petaluma and Santa Rosa!

It is believed that the sub- ject ‘will be under consideration for at least another vear before a final| settlement is reached. i President Roosevelt and the members | of the general naval board do not be-| lieve that there will be war with Japan | in the near future, but there is a strong| sentiment in favor of increasing the American naval strength in the Orient, and this actien will probably be rec- ‘ommended by Admifral Dewey and his| associates. | BURKE FINDS NEW FLAW Says State Law Confliets With Roose- velt-Schmits Agreement City and County Attorney Burke has discovered a new flaw in the. agree- ment between President Roosevelt and Mayor Schmitz that he believes will be fatal to any legislatton by the Board of Education concerning the Japanese children in the local schools. According to the statutes the School Board can enact no 16-year age limit, | but must either throw the schools open to all Orlental children up to 21 years of age or else segregate them without respect to age Section 1662 of the Political Code sets forth’ that all children between | the ages of 6 and 21 years shall be| given the right to attend the public schools, “except as otherwise provided. The exception referred to is the clause | of the same section that provides that in cases where Oriental schools are established no Oriental student shall{ be allowed to attend any other school. Under this rule there can be no sep- erate school provided for Japanese over 16 years of age, for if such is provided ~all Japanese children, re- gardless of age, must attend it. If such a school is not provided there can be no 16-year age limit, on account of the provision that all children up to 21 years must have access to the school | privileges. Assistant City Attorney Baggett de- clared that nothing had been gained by the attempted compromise, as a principle could never be compromised in the way that a matter of dollars and cents could be, and that nothing had been received in return for the bartering away of the rights of the State to conduct its own schools. “As'a matter of protest, I think that the parents of San Francisco school children should qpenly display their feelings in the matteny” Baggett sug- gested. “I believe that on the day that the schools are thrown open to| Japanese school children all parents of | white pupils should withdraw their | children from the schools for at least one day. Such'a measure would serve petter than any amount of arguwent ‘as an expression of public opinion in relation to the school question.” SCHMITZ PARTY IN NEW YORK Tell of Brilliant Success They Achieved 3 © at Capital NEW YORK, Feb. 20.—Mayor Schmitz and icolleagues, William#, Oliver, Alt- man, Boyle, Roncovieri and Lefiingwall. | arrived in this city today. All are reg-| istered at the Imperial, except Schmitz, | who went to the Waldorf. Tonight| the entire party attended the theater.| Some of them saw “George Washington | Jr.” at the New York Theater and others the “Red Mill” at the Knicker-| bocker. Mayor Schmitz was in the for- mer party. The Mayor will remain here | until Friday and then leave for San| Franeisco. The visitors came to New York smil- ing and jubilant, and declared that they had issued from the Washington con- ference with honors. In fact, they gave the impression that they had easily swept away the clouds and cleared the President’s vision on the school ques- tion with such diplomatic skill that before the# parted an entente cordiale was so firmly established that all were calling each other by their first names. “We told the President,” said Wil- liams, “that California proposed to run| itself on the Japanese question. Presi- dent Roosevelt told us that the question had been misrepresented. He said that certain interests had tried to curry favor with him and had misrépresented the facts, belleving that as he was an ardent Federalist, he would be glad to take the opporfunity of settling the! State rights matter. “President Roosevelt authorized us to tell the people of California that he would use his best efforts to exclude Japanese skilled and unskilled laborers. | He said he would bar all who could not prove themselves to be bona fide students.” DR. PIERCE'S REMEDIES Habit-forming Medicines. | Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-call atent medicines con- taining injurious ingredients as broadly ublished in some journals of more or ess influence, this publieity has certainl been of great benefit in arousing need attention to this subject, It has, in a considerable measure, resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus- cted of containing the injurious ients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, 5 o time by the forelock,” as it were, and.puplished broadeast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- cines are com «d. Thus he has com- pletely forestalled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be against his medicines, because they are now OF KNOWN COMPOSITION. Fur- thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that these medicines contain no_alcohol or other habit-forming dru?n‘ Neither do they contain any narcoties or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found growing in the depths of our American forests and of well recogpized curative virtues. Instead of alcohol, which even in small -portions long continueg, as-in obstinate cases of diceases, becomes highly objee- tionable from }m, tendency to uce a craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em- ploys- chemically - pure, twipls .glycerine, which of itseif:is a valuable ‘remedy in many cases of chron being a suj or demulcent, antiseptic, antiferment and supporting nutritive.

LAST CHANCE AT $35 Will Be Advanced to $40 Per Share February 23 10 HOURS AS AGAINST 18 HOURS| .“Chicago to New York In ten hours | by the Chicago-New York Electric Air | Line Railroad.” There are people who | look upon that statement as visionary, | or if they admit that such a thing may | be possible, they picture to them- | selves a train scooting along at a| speed that threatens disaster to every- body on board. | As a matter of fact, there is nothing | difficult or dangerous at all in operat- ing a ten-hour schedule under the con- ditions that will prevail on this road. In the first place, if it is practical for the New York Central and Lake Shore goads to operate-in eighteen hours, the Air. Line will be ‘able to operate in 13% hours with no other advantage tha# the shorter distance we have to travel. Our will be 230 milles shorter than” the Vanderbilt system. But, in addition to that, the Air Line will be without material grades or curves and will have no grade cross- ings, efther highway or railroad. ll‘ will not run through any large cities, | and hence trains will not have to slow ; down as they must do when running through cities llke South Bend, Cleve- land, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and | Albany. : In addition, the Air Line will not be | required under eleetrical operation tui change engines, as they must do on a | steam operated road. and in that re- spect considerable time will be saved. Then, too, electric trains will not have to stop for water or coal, in addition | to which the use of electricity will | enable them to make a higher rate of speed tllan can bhe made by locomo- tives, though that will hardly be neces- sary in view of the other advantages the Air Line will have. - The facts are that the Air Line will be able to operate & ten-hour schedule with just as ‘much safety as the Van- derbilt and Pennsylvania systems are doing today in eighteen hours.
