Navo yesterday in tho I nited States court denied tho motions to quash tho indictments against K. B. Hegardt, N. S. Berray, E. T. Stewart, and R. B. Rcill. Demurrers to tho in dictments were thou filed and tho court's ruling on theso will probably bo handed down this morning. It is hard h cxpocted that tho depiurrcrs will bo sustained, owing to tho ruling of tho court yesterday, which contained an in timation that any unnecessary delays in bringing tho cases to trial would bo dis countenanced. Tho argument in support of tho motions to set asido tho indict ments was begun yesterday morning by E. E. .Ellinwood for tho defense, but the matter went over until lato in tho afternoon nnd it was almost 5 o'clock when Mr. Ellinwood again took up the argument. Sevoral authorities wore cited in support of tho contentions that irregularities in thp grand jury room wero sufficient to base a setting aside of tho indictments. No argument was made by tho government and tho ruling N of Judge Navo which followed, fully as long as somo of tho decisions cited, showed that tho court had studied tho case fully. Ho held that thero was hardly a grand jury session in which there was not somo sort of irregulari ties and if action as requested in these cases, wero taken in all others, where motions were based on similar grounds, thero would bo little accomplished in the courts. Thero would bo sufficient safeguard for tho rights of tho defend ants, he said, if tho cases come to trial. Jury Discharged. All doubt- as to tho probability of a long continuance in tho cases was dis sipated yesterday morning when tho federal trial jury was discharged for tho term. If tho demurrers are over ruled this morning tho defendants will plead not guilty and their trials set for next June, when tho federal court again convenes. At tho beginning of tho morning ses sion tho cdurt called tho attention of United States Attorney Alexander to the publication of indictments which had been placed on secret file and ordered him to mako an investigation as to whero the leak occurred. Although the information -was published Monday evening, apparently no effort had been made by tho United States attorney to ascertain its source. Jail sentences for contempt will probably follow tho in vestigation. Lawyers in Wrangle.

It is very probable that within a fow wcc'ai tho principal public utility pl&ats in Globo will havo changed .hands. Messrs. Cotteo and James, who own ' je controlling interest in tho elec- J trie light and gas plants, last evening concluded tho preliminary details of tho deal, with A. F. Gressler of Bisbco and W. D. West of Chicago, representing eastern and western capital, and tho consummation of tho deal is mado sub joct to tho approval of engineers who will bo sent hero immediately to mako an examination of tho company's prop erty. Mr. Gressler, who is in chargo of tho independent lighting plant at BIsbeo, has been after tho local plants for the last year.

Re-nomination; Bryan Not Surprised at the Stand of President. WASHINGTON, Dcccmbor 11. President Roosevelt will not bo a can didate for a third torm. All doubt on this point was tonight dispelled by an nuthoritativo statement from tho Whito House that Roosovclt still adheres to his declaration of renunciation mado on tho night of his election thrco years ago. In tho statement issued tonight, tho president says ho has not changed and shall not chango his decision deliv ered to the American people. It appears that tho president has boon awaiting tho call for tho republican na tional convention to afford tho proper opportunity for making his position clear and, unmistakable, thus leaving tho field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knor, Foraker and other declared or receptive candidates for tho republican nomination. Tho President's statement follows: "On tho night after my election I mado tho following announcement: 'I am deeply sensiblo of tho honor done mo by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have dono and tried to do; I appreciate to tho full tho solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me, and ihall do all that in my power lies not to forfeit it. On tho fourth of March next I shall havo served thrco and a half years and this constitutes my first term. Tho wise custom which limits presidents to two terms regards tho sub stnnco and not tho form, and under no circumstances will I bo a candidato for or accept another nomination.' "I havo not changed and shall not chango the decision thus, announced." Bryan Not Surprised. LINCOLN, Neb., December 11. When told tonight that Roosevelt had undo a positive declaration that ho will not bo a candidato for a third term, Bryan expressed no surprise. Ho do larcd tho position of the president was as ho expected. Bryan said: "I have assumed from tho beginning that tho president will not bo a candidate. The itatcment ho issued tho night of the election loft no room for misunderstand ing. I feel that his friends were do ing him an injustice in suggesting that ho would chango his position on the jubject." ANOTHER RAID OF THE "NIGHT RIDERS" FRANKFORT, Ky., December 11. Nows that another raid of "Night Riders" at Hopkinsvillo was underway tonight was received by Governor Wil son by telephone at nino o'clock this evening. Wilson immediately ordered Company H, Third Kentucky national guards, to proceed immediately to Hop kinsville. CLOSED LIGHTING given tho public would bo second to nono in tho southwest. In addition to boing thoroughly convorsant with ov ory dotuil of tho business, Mr. Gressler is nlso well acquainted with tho vast rosourCcs of Globo and believes that this will bo tho greatest copper camp in tho country in tho courso of a fow years. Messrs. Cotteo and James, tho pres ent ownors of tho light plants havo for iomo time been desirous of soiling out their interests and devoting tlioir en tiro timo to mining pursuits in which they aro engaged to a considorablo ox tent. Notwithstanding this desire, they novo gono ahead with improvements for tho plants, tho capacity of which .las been almost doubled during tho .nst yenr. Nono of tho interested par ses wero willing last night to give tho amount of monoy involved in tho deal, out it was intimated that it was a very heavy amount.

By direction of tho secretary of war, Adjutant General Ains worth has directed Colonel Rey nolds to cause to bo publicly post ed hero an order from tho war de partment to tho effect that ho is to take no sides in the trouble at Goldficld and to interfere with no person in any way unless such courso becomes necessary to pro tect life, after violence had been committed.

Fur ther than tho official statements al ready given out, no declaration is to bo had from any authorized person as to the sudden decision of tho ndminis tration to tako such action as tho pres ident did today, in relation to tho Gold field strike. It is clearly understood, however, among officials of tho war de partment that tho purposo is to fore stall adverse criticism on tho despatch jf troops to Goldficld. Roosevelt is anxious to ascertain tho exact conditions at Goldficld and he has given to a commission consisting of Secretary Murray, Labor Commis sioner Ncill and Herbert Smith a let tor of instructions, so broad iri char acter that it will enable them to mako such investigation as they may de termine. The letter is brief, simply directing tho commission to proceed to Goldficld immediately and mako inquir ies into affairs as thoy exist and re port to him personally. Tho letter di rects all civil and military authorities to furnish tho commission with any in ormation they mny havo. Uso Own Judgment.

WASHINGTON, December 11. Tho situation with regard to tho selection of a placo for holding tho noxt demo cratic national convention had so sim plified itself tonight that practically all tho candidates for tho honor had been eliminated oxcopt Chk'ago, Louisville and Denver. Tho Dcnvor delegation has boon con sulting freely with tho committeo and impressed upon every ono tho fact of tho city's readiness to pay $100,000 to sccuro tho convention. Louisville is rep resented by a strong delegation and at a lato hour indications aro favorable to that city. Thero is no talk of any candidate excopt Bryan. Somo mem bors of tho committeo think it too early to Bay that any ono man is cer tain of tho nomination, but admit thnt probabilities point to tho Nebraskan. FOR NOMINATION instructions beyond thoso contained in j tho letter, leaving tho method of in quiry to their discretion. Tho follow-j ing instructions were sent to tho com mnnding officer of tho troops at Gold field, by ordor of tho president: "Tho troops wero not sent to take part of cither side In a pure ly industrial dispute as long as it is kept within tho bounds of law and order. They aro to bo neither for nor against tho strikers or employ ers, but they aro to prevent riot, violence and disorder under and in accordanco with tho constitution ' and tho laws of tho land.- No man f is to bo interfered with as long j as ie, conducts Jijjgnolf in peaceful j and orderly manner." I A statement was made nt the White House that there is no intention of withdrawing tho troops from Goldfield, notwithstanding tho despatch of the :ommission. Things Look Different. GOLDHELD, December 11. Prosi dent Roosevelt's communication from Washington to Colonel Reynolds in com mand of tho federal troops in Goldficld, jvhlch was posted in conspicuous places throughout tho city this afternoon by direction of the president, put a differ ent complexion on tho situation here.1 This, coupled with tho fact that Gen oral Punston is to arrive in Goldfield to viow tho situation" and report to Wash ington, has caused a completo change in the decision of tho mine operators, who had hoped to be ablo through Gov ernor Sparks to havo martial law de clared in Goldficld tonight, and to re open tho mines tomorrow under the active protection of troops. Orders have been issued by Colonel Reynolds that none of the soldiers shall bo given tho privilege of going outside tho guard lines tomorrow, Camp No. 2 is within 200 yards of tho main shaft of the Con solidated company's mine, whero an at tempt to ro-open will bo mado by tho company tomorrow. Civilians, unless on urgent business, will not be permitted within tho camp lines. u Sparks Unchanged. Governor Sparks tonight said that he was satisfied that General Funston will find nmplo need for troops horo and that ho will ndviso- that thoy remain in Goldfield all winter. Ho says ho sees no reason for changing his views regard ing tho wisdom of sonding troop3 and thnt tho good results "will bo shown in tho futuro when a repetition of tho ter rible scenes in other camps during such struggles will bo avoided nnd a settle ment of tho labor difficulties secured by peaceful means. It developed today that John S. Cook & Co., bankers, will probably bo nblo to meet tho first payroll under tho now wago schedulo in gold nnd that all wages will bo paid in gold hereafter. This will have a tondoncy to induce more of the miners fo return to work th.fti might othcrwiso do so, us the ono griovancc, appearing on tho surface, was tho fact that tho wag03 woro paid in scrip. Start Work Today. Secrotary Erb of tho Mine Owners' association said tonight: "Tho Com bination mino and mills will certainly resume work tomorrow. A sufficient number of men havo been secured for tho purpose. I cannot say what other mines or leases will resume."

No nttempt will bo mado to work more than ono shift a day for the remainder of tho week. Union Elated. "Tho official endorsement of tho ac tion of the local miners' union by the executive board of tho Western Federa tion at Denver today, word of which wn3 telegraphed here, hns greatly elated tho members, of tho union who have been leaders in tho present struggle, i nnd thcx say it will have a tendency to keep many in tho ranks who might otherwise have deserted and gono back to work. There arc no evidences on tho sur face tonight that any of tho terrible scenes of Cripple Creek or Coucr d'AIcno are to bo repeated here tomor row or afterwards. The" streets are re markably quiet and no one seems to anficipate trouble. May Bo in Darkness. GOLDFIELD, Nov., December 11. All men employed by tho Nevada-California Power company tonight decided to walk out. Tho mon were notified at tho close of work today that their wages had been cut from $7 to $5 a day. They aro principally maintenance men and linemen. Tho striko will" not affect tho bringing in of power from Bishop, California, fifty miles nway, unless a break occurs in the line. There is a largo force of men employed pa trolling the line, but there wero not notified of the cut in wages and tho walkout in Goldficld. It Is probablo that they will nil go out as soon ns they are notified of tho reduction, and tho power company upon which Gold field depends for all power and lights, as nlso do tho mines, may havo to go out of business.

WASHINGTON, December 11. Sen ator Jefferson Davis of Arkansas to day delivered an address on trusts. All tho senators were in their scats and gavo strict attention to his remarks. The galleries were filled with spectators. Davis delivered a passionate 'address after declaring that his bill if rigor ously enforced, would kill the trusts, and with a dramatic challenge to any senator to step forward and contest tho issue with him. A domestic corporation found fixing a price on any article would, by his bill, he said, have its Charter forfeited, and foreign corpora tions guilty of such an act would not be allowed to do business in the United States. Of the Sherman anti-trust law ho said: "Has it proved effectual! "Has it destroyed a single trust! "Under its operation have they not grown stronger, more defiant and more arrogant? Wants to Bo Shown. "For almost seventeen years tho Sherman anti-truBt law has been upon our statute books. Nearly seven years of Roosevelt's strenuous term has passed, with all tho machinery of the government at his back, with the great power of the chief executive in his hands, yet I nsk, will somo republican senator upon tho floor show, me one trust that has ever been tamed, much less destroyed. , "What is- needdd by the trust mag nates' union in order to make them re spect tho law, is that they be treated like ordinary felons, that the strong arm of the 1law"b'e "fold agrntytt tl'm just as it would be against a horse thief, or any ono else charged with crime. Land them in the penitentiary and place tho felon's stripes, the "doxology of a misspent life," upon them, and ypu will sec that the trnsts arc busted and tho people will get relief." Speaking of the great expense of tho government, Davis said: Eival of Roosevelt. "Our president, besides his salary of $30,000 a year, and I say that is not ex cessive, is paid by congress $25,000 a year for traveling expenses. This is enormous and unreasonable. The presi dent has five children, I believe. It is true that he should live in accordanco with the dignity of his position. I have the president skinned a city block in tho matter of family. I havo eight children, and it does not tako $113,000 for my living expenses. Tho greatest president that over lived upon this earth, thnt was ever inaugurated in this apital, in my judgment, was Old Hick ory Jnckson, who rode his horso to Washington, nnd to tho White House, dressed in a suit of blue jeans." 0 STORY DF CRIME Repeats Story He Told in Haywood Trial in Trial of George Pettibone; Was on Stand Four Hours and Story Was Not Half Told at Adjournment; New Evidence Adduced. - ' BOISE, Idaho, December 11. For four hours today in the trial of Petti bone, Harry Orchard was on tho stand and when court adjourned his story was only half told. Under tho guidanco of James II. Hawloy, chief counsel for tho prosecution, Orchard told of tho blowing up of tho Bunkerhill-Sullivan mino in tho Coucr d'Alcncs, the killing of Charles McCormick, and Melbrek in tho Vindicator at Cripplo Creek, tho murder of Lylo Gregory in'Dcnver, the blowing up of the Independence depot, and tho nttempts on tho lifo of Governor Pea body of Colorado. In the main his tes timony was tho same as given nt tho Haywood trial, but the questions em phasized Pcitiboncs' alleged conspiracy. An entirely new feature in tho ovi donco was tho statement by Orchard that Pettibone told him in 1904 that ho had purchased 100 rifles from a hard ware company in Denver nnd shipped them to Couer "d'AIcno for uso in tho riots of 1905. Tho witness said that PRESIDENT WALKER WAS MERELY A FIGUREHEAD General Manager Brown Had Entire Run of Business and Is Alone Responsible for' Failure of Trust Company, SAN FRANCISCO, December 11.' Following his arrival from Santa Bar bara, in custody of a detective, David E. Walker, president of tho insolvent California Safo Deposit and Trust com- pany, today gave out a statement in which he declared that not until a few weeks ago did ho become aware of the state of affairs in the institution whoso fate is causing grave anxiety to 12,000 depositors. "Walker, according to his statement, appears to havo been merely a figurehead, as he declared that ho had no active part in tho conduct of tno trust company, winch bo said was left in the hands of J. Dalzel Brown, tho general manager, who is at present in tho city prison on tho chargo of em bezzlement based upon tho disappear ance of securities valued at $223,000 be longing to the Colton estate, which had been deposited in the bank by W. J. Bartnett, a director in the trust com pany, and until yesterday general coun sel and vice president of tho Western Pacific railroad, who was the special administrator of tho estate. Brown Is Responsible. While neither Walker nor Bartnett will state, in so many words, that Brown was responsible for tho disappearance of tho securities, tho fact remains that the formor has denied all knowledge of their existence, and the latter today stated that the securities were deposit cd in the bank by order of tho court, and that neither he nor Walker-'had anything to do with their removal. Among tho developments of the. day was the discdvery of tho suicide of T. Otway Saddler, manager of the West End bankpne of tho four branches of thp California Safo Deposit" and Trust company. Saddler was ato intimate friend and confidential employe of Brown. Ho worked unceasingly to get his employer bailed out of prison, but without success and after talking with Brown at the city prison late last night Saddler went to his room in the rear of his bank and blew his head off with a double barrel shotgun. Brown, who has maintained a sphinx like demeanor since his arrest, was vis ibly affected when ho learned of the death of his employe. Bond offered by a surety company for Brown '8 release today was rejected by Judge 'Dunne, and tho accused banker i3 stilf in prison. Cell Mato a Murderer. Walker spent from two o'clock this morning until nino o'clock in a cell in1 the city prison with Dr. Lee, charged with murder, for a cell mate. Ho ask ed to be placed in the sarao cell with his general manager and when shortly beforo he was released he was placed in a cell on tho woman's side of the prison near Brown, tho two officials of (Continued on Pago Six) TELLS AND BLOODSHED Pettibone told him ho had paid $1,500 of Western Federation money for the rifles. Another portion of tho testi mony which the stato regards as im portant was tho statement that Petti bone visited Orchard's house at Cripplo Creek, and showed him how to uso tho "Pettibone dope." It is claimed by tho prosccutibn that corroborative evi dence will bo introduced on theso points. ALICE ROOSEVELT ILL AT THE WHITE HOUSE WITH APPENDICITIS WASHINGTON, December 11.
