Legal Authority.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, May 25.—The president
has pardoned Alexander McKenzie, now
confined at the jail at Oakland, Cal.,
for contempt of the United States circuit
court of appeals for the ninth district.
Yet the attorney general made the fol
lowing report to the president by wire:
"The court advises .me two specific
things are yet to be done. I therefore
now report in lieu of previous one pre
pared by me under mistaken information
as to fact of compliance, that in view
of McKenzie's ill health, and {Tie recom

circuit court of appeals of the ninth

decision I will direct release when court

Last night the following telegram was
received from Judge Morrow:
"McKenzie has this day fully com
plied with the order of the circuit court
of appeals by turning over to the defend
ants the remaining property which came
into his hands as receiver in the cases
in which he stands committed for con

The attorney general thereupon sent
an aditlonal telegram to President Mc

certain gold dust, the products of the

deal. The mines of the corporation in
Butte are valued at $55,000,000 instead of
$5,000,000, and it is doubtful if they could
be bought at this price.
In connection with the report, one of
the officials of the company stated that
if the Lowell dispatch meant the com
pany operating in Montana, the decision
could not have been reached by a unani
mous vote, because there are shares of
stock in the possession of persons in
Butte who would oppose the dissolution
of the company.

LIEBEL CHARGE WAS NO GOOD
Seattle Newspaper Sustained in Sensa

Police as a Grafter.
(By Associated Press.)
Seattle, May 25.—After nearly thirteen
hours deliberation on the evidence In
the Clayton criminal libel case, the jury
last night reported a disagreement and
were discharged by Judge Griffin of the
superior court.
The charge of Judge Griffin stated that
if the jury found that Clayton in charg
ing Chief of Police Meredith in the Se
attle Republican of March 22, with be
ing a grafter, had told the truth, that
he must also have told the truth with
good motive and intentions. To this
the defense took exception.
The Jury retired before ten in the morn
ing. After ten last evening they were
called Into the court room and reported
that they had at intervals voted eight
to five all day long. The court then
excused them. The vote is said to have
stood eight for and five against con
viction.
Clayton had been arrested by Chief
Meredith for the alleged libelous publi
cation and thrown Into the city jail. The
trial which followed brought out sen
sational testimony against Meredith as
chief of police.
MAY INSPE CT THE COMANCHE.
Judge Clancy Grants Adolph Wetzstein
Permission to Examine
tne Mine.
Judge Clancy today granted Adolph
Wetzstein permission to inspect the
workings of the Comanche mine, owned
by the Boston & Montana company.
The order is based upon the petition in
which Wetzstein claims to be the own
er of a quarter interest in the property.
The Comanche is one of the largest
mines in the district and was a banner
producer up to the time Judge Clancy
enjoined the Boston & Montana from
operating it pending the trial to quiet ti
tle to the quarter.
The same judge also granted the pe
tition of F. Augustus Helnze for per
mission to inspect and survey the un
derground workings of the Piccolo and
Gambetta mines, owned by the Boston
& Montana company. Heinze alleges
that the veins of these claims apex in

TO FORTIFY PEARL HARBOR
Washington, May 25.—The naval board,
having charge of the location of a naval
station of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, has
completed its work.
The board adheres to the view that
Pearl is the only harbor in the Ha
waiian group capable of complete naval
defense. It is only five miles from Hono
! lulu. Much of the surrounding land has
j been occupied for commercial purposes.
The board proposed to leave this shore
land for commercial purposes and, if
possible, to locate the naval station on
j the large Islands lying in the middle

OPEN GAMBLING IN BUTTE IS NOW
A THING BE THE PAST.
Once more the rattle of the little ball,
spinning around a saucer shaped en
closure in search of a stall into which tu
drop, has been silenced; the swish of
the paste board en route from the faro
box has been hushed and the click of
the bones in the crap game—punctuated
by the "seven-come-eleven" voice of the
thrower—has been stilled as though the
long griny fingers of death had raked
in the whole pot. Open gambling in
Butte is without doubt at an end so far
as the present administration is con
cerned.
On Thursday evening two houses were
thrown open and several more would
have been open had the proprietors been
ready to press the button, but they were
not and it was decided to postpone the
beginning of operations until today be
cause yesterday was Friday, considered
an unlucky day by the sporting frater
nity.
The arrest of the proprietors of the two
open houses resulted, but they gave
bonds in the sum of $300 each and were
released. The games continued until last
night when another raid was made by
Constable Tommy Cosgrove of Justice
Nelson's court. With a warrant in his
pi ssession and determination up his
sleeve, the constable invaded the sacred
precincts of the Combination house and,
after laying violent hands on the cash,
under the watchful eye of the crap
dealer, announced his intention, it is
said, of arresting everybody in sight.
There were twenty-five or thirty men
in the place who did not take kindly
to the constable's way of doing business
and five or six of them, it is said, forced'
him to drop the crap man's bank roll and
get out of the place. For a minute or
two it looked as if the constable would
not go out on his feet.
Shortly after the occurrence Cosgrové
returned with three or four men frorj
the sheriff's office, but by that time the
games had been closed. Henry Albert«
son and, "Big" George Kendall, the prof
prietors, were there and submitted ta
arrest. They went to the court hous<$
furnished bond and were released, but
Cosgrove insisted upon another bond
and it. too, was furnished.
Following the raid on the Combination,
the California club rooms, on the sec
ond floor of the building at the south
east corner of Broadway and ain streets,
was also raided and Jack Wright, the
proprietor, and J C. Strong, the man
ager, were taken into custody. Each
gave a bond of $300 with W. E. Deeney
and William Wier as sureties.
• After the exitement occasioned by the
arrests had subsided. Attorney Edwin
S. Booth called at the c-ounty attorney's
office and asked for a complaint charg

They Adopt Resolutions Fledging
Themselves to *.ia Attorney Gen
eral Donovan—Hamilton Decided
on as the Place for Holding
the Next Annual Conven
tion—"Father" Clark
in Attendance.
"Father" Francis E. Clark, the father
of the Christian Endeavor movement,,
arrived in Butte last night from Seattle
at 11:40 o'clock. He was greeted at the
depot by a committee appointed ru last
night's session of the annual conven
tion and conducted in triumph to the
residence of the Rev. Dr. Groeneveld,
pastor of Immanuel Presbyterian church.
Everything was "Clark" at the con
vention to-day. The arrival of the En
deavors' mentor instilled fresh vigor into
the exercises and the programme was
carried out with the spirit naturally aris
ing from a realization that the confiden
tial adviser of the society members was
present.
The devotional exercises, conducted by
Miss Georgia Rhodes, had jus'^ieen con
cluded when "Father" Clark entered the
church. The delegates all rose to their
feet and applauded, and the preacher was
called upon for impromptu remarks be
fore taking his seat.
He responded in happy vein, thanking
the delegates and their friends for the
cordial reception he had received and ex
pressing his delight at being permitted
to meet with them. He hoped that the
convention would prove one of the most
successful In the history of the En
deavor movement in the state. *
An "open parliament" followed, the
subject under discussion being "The True,
Relation of Christian Endeavor to Christ
and the Church." The parliament wag
conducted by the Rev. Frederick Tongg
of Butte and lasted for three-fourths o t
an hour. All the delegates took part inT
dissecting the subject, which was con-,
sidered from every point of view.
A general discussion of "The Spiritual
Nature of the Pledge" lasted for more
than an hour. Those who presented pa
pers on the various phases of the theme
were Miss Winnie Hogan, Miss Belle.V
Bretherton, Dr. J. A. Donovan, Alexander
Murray, Miss Edith Foote, Harry Pol
glase and Mrs. D. Monroe.
"Father" Clark then delivered a brief
address on. Endeavor work in Montana.
He offered many words of cheer and gôëd
advice to the delegates and held their
earnest attention from start to lbri$L
One of his most important suggestions
was that the state be divided into dis
tricts and that members be selected, one
for each district, who should have charge
of the work in their respective territories

the California club Thursday night. He
told the county attorney he was present
when Cosgrove entered the house and
demanded $20, adding that he would call
again on Saturday night. Booth did not
gt t the complaint. He was told to go to
some iustice court and procure it.
Booth renewed his efforts to secure
the arrest of Cosgrove this moning but
up to a late hour, had not acomplished
the job.
The gambling house proprietors ar
rested were booked to appear in Jus
tice Nelson's court to-day, but the law
says a justice has no jurisdiction over
such cases. Yesterday this point was
advanced in a case before Justice Arnold
ai d it was made to stick.
A few weeks ago several persons plead
ed guilty in a justie court to a charge
of gambling and paid their fines, but
they could have said "not guilty," it is
claimed, and carried the fine money for
an indefinite period.
The two houses, the proprietors of
which were arrested Thursday night,
were wide open yesterday morning, run
ning on an alleged understanding, but
this morning not a wheel was taming
in either of them, and those houses that
had intended opening up today were
closed to the public, indicating that no
further attempt to keep the games going
would be made at present.
About noon today County Attorney
Breen and Sheriff Furey held a confer
ence and then visited the various places
where games have been running, not for
the purpose of arresting any one, but to
impart to those conducting the games
tlie information that any further at
t nipt to open up would result in a raid.
Rack of the whole proceeding is At
torney General Donovan, who a few
weeks ago directed the prosecuting at
torney and sheriff in each county of the
state to proceed against all gambling
games known to be in operation, and
suppress them. Even slot machines
were included in the order. It is claimed
I Hat the attorney general broadly inti
mated to some of the sheriffs and public
prosecutors that if they did not-do their
duty he would begin impeachment pro
c-edings against them.
Henry Albertson, representing the
Combination gambling house, and J. C.
Strong of the California Club rooms,
w ho were arrested last night on a charge
of permitting gambling in their respec
tive houses, appeared before Justice Nee
nan at Walkerville this afternoon, plead
ed guilty to the charge and were fined
'100 each with the understanding that
inere would be no more gambling on
their premises.
John N. Kirk appeared for Mr. Albert
son and Edwin S. Booth for Mr. Strong.
The defendants were informed that if
they opened up again a charge of prior
conviction would be placed against them
and filed in the district court direct.
One of the most important features of
the morning session was the adoption of
"• resolution by a unanimous vote, in
dorsing the crusade of Attorney General
Donovan against gambling throughout
he state. In conclusion the resolution
read :
"And we further- pledge ourselves as
body and as individuals to assist h'm
in every way possible in his campaign
against the gambling vice, and also to
(lo all in our power to lend a helping
hand to the local authorities in the'r
efforts to suppress vice of all kinds."
After a lively debate the honor of
being the place where the next annual
convention will be held fell to the lot of
Hamilton.
It was announced that "Father" Clark
will deliver an address this evening at
the Presbyterian church and will preach
at tlie Christian church tomorrow at 11
o'clock.
After a duet by Miss Maud Maguire
ami Miss Pearl E. Reed, a recess was
taken until 1 o'clock this afterno m.
When the convention again met at
that lime devotional exercises were con
ducted, reports of committees wer«
heard, "Father" Clark delivered another
brief address and an adjournment was
taken until this evening.
By previous arrangement with S'upe-
iiuendent Wharton of the local railway
company several street ears were in
waiting at the corner of West Broadwaj
and Montana streets, and Chairman Jor
dan surprised and delighted the major
ity of the delegates and their friends by
stating that everybody would proceed di
rectly from the church to the cars and
take a Jaunt to Columbia Gardens. The
announcement was greeted with spirited
applause, and the delegates and their
friends made a rush for the cars.
The convention will close this even
ing with musical and literary exercises
arid addresses by "Father" Clark and
the Rev. J. P. MacCarthy of Helena. It
has been one of the most profitable an
nual sessions held In the state of Mon
tana, and all the members are greatly
encouraged In their work.

Presidential Party Starts on Its Long
Journey Eastward After Giving Up
All the Proposed Northwestern
Tour—No Stops on the
Route Until Canton
Is Reached.
By Associated Press.)
San Francisco, May 24,—The presiden
tial party, after a sojourn of nearly two
weeks in this city left for Washington
a few moments after 10 o'clock this
morning. The physicians in attendance
on Mrs. McKinley held their last consul
tation yesterday and after they had an
nounced their decision that Mrs. McKin
ley was strong enough to endure the
trans-continental journey, preparations
for departure were rapidly made.
Mrs. McKinley enjoyed a refreshing
night's rest and this morning seemed
elated at the prospect of soon being at
home. She was conveyed from the Scott
residence to the Oakland ferry in a
closed carriage over a circuitous route
that was chosen so that the invalid
might pass over only smoothly paved
streets, the jarring granite blocks
which are on many of the streets being
avoided. She was accompanied by the
president, Dr. Rixey and a trained
nurse, the rest of the party proceeding
to the starting point in a more direct
way.
An immense crowd had assembled at
the ferry depot of the Southern Pacific,
the wide expanse afforded by the junc
tion of Market and East streets being a
solid mass of humanity.through which
the police with difficulty kept open a
passageway for the president and file
party. Heads were uncovered as the
carriage in which Mrs. McKinley rode
approached, and there was a visible ef
fort to restrain an outburst of applause
as the vehicle with drawn curtains
drove silently through the throng. All
respected the frail condition of the suf
MURDERED FOR HIS MONEY
Oregon Farm. Laborer Was Waylaid
After Being Paie Off and His
Body Buried in the Brush.
Marshfield, Ore., May 25.—News has
just reached here of the discovery near
Coquille City of the body of E. E. Daly,
who had evidently been murdered for
his money.
Jessie McQuigg, while walking on the
railroad track at Cedar Point, saw a
man digging in the brush, and an in
vestigation later in the day resulted in
the discovery of Daly's body bur.ed just
below the surface with a bullet hole
in the back of the head.
Daly came from Blackwell, Oklahoma,
and had been working several months
for a Coos river farmer. He was paid
off on Thursday, receiving $170. No
money was found on tlie body. It is
thought that the identity of t to mur

movement during the course of the year.
There are now almost 3,000,000 Endeavor
ers in this country alone and almost a
million more in other parts of the world.
"The work is taking deep root in Great
Britain, Australia, South Africa and all
other lands where American missionaries
have gone. Within the last month I have
attended conventions in North Carolina,
New Mexico, several in California and
Oregon, and in Washington and British
Columbia. For the most part the meet
ings I have recently attended, as well as
those during the early part of the year,
have been the best I have ever known.
"Philanthropic work by the society is
being energetically conducted and much
is being done for prisoners, for sailors in
the United States navy and on merchant
vessels and others needing assistance.
Many other forms of benevolent work are
being attended to with enthusiasm and
much good has been accomplished.
"Last year I attended meetings of the
society in China, Japan, Germany. Switz
erland. France, Spain and England, and
found that good work is being done in
all these countries.
"I find a very earnest band of young
Christian workers in Montana, and the
gathering this morning impressed me as
being a meeting of real power, not so
large in numbers as many of the con
ventions, but a meeting great in purpose
and with large future results from spir
itual energy. The quality of the papers
read and of the addresses delivered by
the young men and women this morn
ing I thought unusually high.
"I feel that all this work from the be
ginning lias been providential, and that
neither I nor any other man has hail
much to do with it. 1 believe it to be
one of the movements in the church
which comes in the providence of G id
when the time is ripe. .
I "The international convention, which
j will be attended by delegates from the
i United States and Canada, will be held
i this year at Cincinnati, beginning July
6, and something like 40.000 people are
I expected to be present. Leading orators
I from the pulpits of all denominati ms
and from the platform will be heard at
j that time. More and more the society is
I becoming an inter-denominational organ
1 ization, and the young people's societi-s
of many names are coming into the
I Christian Endeavor.
"In the east there are many Baptist
unions of Christian Endeavor which
combine the denominational anil inter
denominational. In Canada all the Meth
odist churches have r.pworth Leagues of
Christian Endeavor which do the same.
More and more it seems to be a common
meeting place for the denominations an 1
to promote union and fellowship as we'l
as zeal.
"I have been through the northwest a
good many times before, but I have
never been so deeply impressed with the
territory as this time. It seems to me
that the seat of empire is almost her-.

time is not far distant when the scat
of Montana will be regarded as one if
the empire states."

ferer and the enthusiasm was suppress
ed.
There was no formal ceremonies at the
depot. Good-byes were exchanged by
the president, cabinet members and oth
er members of the party with the friends
who had come to wish them God speed,
and the distinguished travelers boarded
the ferry boat for Oakland which made
a special trip for their accommodation.
The carriage containing Mrs, McKin
ley was driven to the lower deck of the
boat and the curtains partly raised so
that she might obtain a glimpse of the
bay and Golden Gate, and as the steam
er drew out of the slip, hats and hand
kerchiefs were waived and as she was
slipping into the stream, the shipping
in the harbor dropped their color salute.
Tumultuous cheers then broke forth on
shore and were carried across the waters
as San Francisco's final farewell to
President McKinley, his wife and the
accompanying members of his official
family.
At the Oakland mole, where the train
was in readiness, precautions had been
taken to prevent a crowd. The enclos
ure was carefully roped off. Mrs. Mc
Kinley was tenderly helped out of the
carriage by the president, and when he
made her comfortable in the car, he ap
peared on the platform waiving adieu
to the crowds.
Mrs. McKinley stood the trip to the
train very well. It was the first time she
had felt the fresh air since she had ar
rived in San Francisco and it seemed
to do her good. Dr. Rixey said there
were no ill effects from the excitement
attending her departure.

the Union Pacific.
Mr. Bostelman said last night that,
in his opinion there was little hope foi*
speedy connection between San Fran

Mr. Bostelman also saw men identified
with the Northern Pacific in this city
and made particular inquiry about the
great freight ships being built for that
company at New London.
Mr. Bostelman said:
"I will have to be excused from dis.
