With these pleas of guilty and the surrender of all lottery material the Honduras National Lottery company, which is the successor of the old Lou isiana state lottery, passed out of ex istence, ending along struggle of the fedeial authorities The federal authorities first at tempted to break up the lottery busi ness on the passage of the act of 1877, forbidding the transmission of lottery matter by mail Jn 1905 this wag supplemented by the act forbidding tho interstate carriage of lottery tick ets or advertisements of lottery mat ter. In 1903 the supreme court, by a vote of 5 to 4, upheld the constitution ality of the latter enactment. Carried as Personal Baggage. Since the decision the lottery tick ets were printed at the lottery com pany's plant in Wilmington, Del., and taken as personal baggage by mes sengers from Wilmington to New York, where they were stored in dif ferent warehouses and from time to time taken, also as personal baggage, by messenger to Washington, where the packages were rechecked to dif ferent places. The officers and agents of the company operated under as sumed names and a complete code was also used. The drawings were held monthly at Puerto Cortez and lists of the winning numbers were printed in Mobile, Ala., and from there shipped to the various state agents throughout the country. The printing establishment at Wilmington was raided in the spring of 1906 and plates from which the tickets were printed, together with considerable matter re lating to the lottery business, seized. The government was not at that time able to establish a conspiracy case, but in January, 1907, the printing es tablishment at Mobile was raided and certain packages which had been shipped- from that city were seized at Atlanta, Ga., after they had crossed the state line.s With the evidence thus obtained the government secured indictments against those who entered a plea of guilty, together with a few others.

New York, June 5.The demurrer interposed by the Great Northern Rail- \*ay company to indictments charging the granting of rebates was overruled by Judge Holt in the United States court. The court holds that although the contract upon which the indict ments were based was made prior to the passage of the Elkins act it was not completed until after the act went into effect This, he rules, would be sufficient, if the charges are proven, to place the company on defense at a final hearing.

MANY CRIMES ARE ALLEGED Attorney for State Declares That "Inner Circle" of Western Federa- tion qf Miners Is Guilty of Scores of Murders Besides the One at Bar. Boise, Ida., June 5.William D. Haywood, accused of the murder of Governor Frank Steunenberg, has heard the elaboration of the state's charge against him and the first wit ness has taken the stand to give tes timony against him. James H. Haw ley made the statement and its burden was that an "inner circle" of the Western Federation of Miners planned and procured the murder of Frank Steunenberg as one of the steps in a farreaching conspiracy that embraced many murders. The statement con sumed only an hour and twenty min- J. H. HAWLEY. utes and was delivered to a crowded courtroom without attempt at orator ical effort. It met a fire of objections from the defense, first against the as sertion of Mr. Hawley that the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners were responsible for "scores of mur ders" and next against the charge that the great conspiracy extended back to the infancy of the federation. Reviews Steunenberg Murder. In beginning his address Mr. Haw ley briefly went over the events im mediately preceding the death of for mer Governor Steunenberg, whom he described as one of the foremost fig ures of the state of Idaho. H& told also of the positions held by Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone in the West ern Federation of Miners. said that Harry Orchard, who is said to have confessed to placing the bomb which blew Governor Steunenberg into eternity, was also a member. "It is our purpose," the leading ac torney for the state went on, "to show that the death of Steunenberg was the result of a conspiracy, an understand ing and collusion between the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners and other persons." Mr. Hawley then went into the for mation of the Western Federation of Miners. The executive committee, he explained, was given almost absolute control of the body, but a few men., being in command of the destinies of the big organization. said- the rank and file of the organization knew little of what was going on among these few men and were guiltless of the crimes alleged. "But we will show," he said, "that the leaders of this organization have been responsible not only for the death of Steunenberg but scores of others besides." Mr. Darrow, for the defense, object ed to this statement, declaring that the death of .scores of others had noth ing to do with the case at bar. His objection was overruled. Doings of the "Inner Circle." "I shall not go outside the record/' declared Mr. Hawley. "Our object will be to show that from the very inception of the Western Federation of Miners there has existed a con spiracy among its leader,*its 'inner circle'the object of which was not only to perpetuate their own power and control the Western Federation of Miners but of the governmental functions of those sections of the coun try wheiein the members of the union were employed. "The leaders have employed des perate criminals from time to time to do away with those who may have been selected for one re*.\~on or an other for disappearance an.i who have ran counter to their intcosts." Mr. Darrow again objected to the remarks of the prosecuting attorney, but was overruled. Mr. Hawley said that he would prove that the "inner circle" of the Western federation of Miners was responsible for the death of Arthur Collins at Tel luride and of many other people in Colorado and elsewhere. charged the blowing up of the Cripple Creek (Colo.) depot, causing the death of fourteen people, to the direct instiga tion of Haywood. He said that Orchard and Adams committed this and other crimes on the specific request of Hay wood. The first witnesses called testified to the death of Governor Steunenberg, the presence of Orchard in the vicin ity and his subsequent arrest for the murder. ELIOT MAKES STATEMENT. Corrects Public Interpretation of Re cent Roosevelt Speech. Boston, June 5.In an interview President Charles W. Eliot of Har vard university stated that President Roosevelt was not thinking of officially joining Harvard at the conclusion of his term of office as president. The recent utterance of the president at Lansing, Mich., before the Harvard association had been interpreted in some quarters as meaning that Pres ident .Roosevelt would be connected 4 officially with the university when he retires from the presidency. President Eliot said: "In his address last week President Roosevelt stated that inside of one year and eleven months he hoped to be 'one of them again,' by which I take it that he simply meant that at the expiration of his term as pres ident he would be able to again take nn active pajt in the alumni work at Harvard. "I do not think that he intended in the least to give the impression that he expected to be in any way an offi cial in the institution, or that he was even thinking of being a member of the corporation or the board of over seers. His remark was informal and he was looking forward to the time when he would have the leisure to work actively in Harvard's behalf." WILL PROTEST TO CONGRESS Objections to New Tariff Arrangement With Germany. Washington, June 5.Indications point to a lively protest being made when congress convenes next winter against the new tariff agreement with Germany. Visiting statesmen do not hesitate to criticise the agreement as a usurpation of the functions of con gress by the executive branch of the government and announce that they Intend to have the matter thoroughly looked into at the first opportunity, which will not be until December, when the next session opens. The energetic protests that were voicod all the time the treaty was pending by the business interests against making concessions to German exporters in the matter of valuations and invoicing have been presented to the members of congress all over the country and they have been called upon to act. Broadly stated, the proposition is that the secretary of state and secre tary of the tieasury have made an arrangement and framed a regulation which virtually nullifies in the case of one country the tariff which congress has enacted.
