CONJECTURE ABOUT THE
TRIAL OF PETTIBONE.
BOISE IDAHO Sopt5. Tho term
of court which opened hero today will
bo rendered of. national Importance by
tho trial of George Pottlbone who with
Soctotary Hayworiu" and President
Moyer of tho Western Federation of
Minors was Indicted for tho murder
of ox-GoVornor Stcunenberg. Juilgo
Wood will attempt to clear tho cnlen
dar as far as possible beforo beginning
tho Pettlbono trial (whlchhas been set
for Tuesday October 1st. Clarence

cessfully defended William HayWood
will probably bo the chief counsel for
tho defense Mr. Pettlbono having ex-
pressed himself In Darrow's favor. E.
H. Richardson tho Denver attorney
It Is Bald will not appear in the case.
The attorneys for the State are now
busily engaged in preparing additional
Evidence In an effort to secure the con-
viction of Pettlbono. Unprejudiced
citizens of Boise believe that the evi-
dence against Pettibone is even weak-
er than that produced against Hay-
wood and that the Denver merchant
Ib sure of acquittal. Senator Borah is
quoted as saying that President Moyer
-who Is now at liberty on $25000 bond
will never be tried. Attorneys for the
prosecution dmit that they have little
vldepce tending to Implicate Moyer
In tho murder of Steunenberg and
'that this trial would entail a useless
expense on tho already overbudened
people. It is remored that the Pettl-
bono trial may have to be postponed
-on account of a lack of funds to follow
up the prosecution. Other rumors are
tq the effect that the'MIne OwnersAs-
soclatlon ha? agreed to furnish tho
money necessary. If the trial Bhould
be put off Pettlbone's attorneys will
demand bail for their client All of tho
$100000 appropriation for prosecuting
the federation leaders has been ex-
panded and many voters are up in
arms against further expense In cases
where Governor Gooding and other
state officials have failed to make good
their allegations. It is likely that the
matter will again become an issue in
Idaho's next election several .prospect-
ive candidates for State officers have
already announced themselves as op-
posed to what they term the "waste-
ful extravagance" of the present ad-
ministration. She Found Relief.

NEW USE FOR CONVICTS
IN TURPENTINE CAMPS.
AUSTIN TE.X Sept. 5. Tho state
has reconsidered Its policy In refusing
to leaso convicts for work In turpen-
tine camps. At a meeting of the Peni-
tentiary Board of Huntsvllle a few
days ago seventy-five convicts wero
leased to Mr. Sweat of Georgia tho
Bame firm which was turned down by
tho Penitentiary Board six weeks
ago.
The convicts Were leased for a peri
od of two years at $15 a month each.
The former hid of tho turpentine men
was but $14. The highest price paid
for farm labor was $31.
.While two months ago it was tho
avowed policy of the state not to leaso
convicts for any purpose save for farm
labor it has now decided to give the
turpentine men a trial. It is argued by
the contractors that the work is health
ful and not hazardous as the members
of the Penitentiary Board at flrst fear-
ed x
The men leasing the convicts have
agreed to employ additional guards
such as will be neceSfcary to prevent
the escape of convicts in the pine for-
ests. The turpentine business In Texas is
a new Industry and In aiding it to start
the state feels justified In giving the
lease of convicts for this purpose. .
Benton McMillan formerly financial
agent of the Btate penitentiaries who
resigned his position has taken a posi-
tion with Mr. Sweat and the turpentine
contractors. MrT McMillan was finan-
cial agent of the penitentiaries until
Sept. 1. From the turpentine contrac-
tors he is to receive a salary of $2400
a year and a share of the profits. It
was surmised that partially through
his Influence that the convicts wero se-
cured for the turpentine contractors.
Work in the turpentine forests will
begin this fall getting the camp In
readiness to take the sap from the
trees next spring. The- sawmill will
follow up the:amps within four years
and work into lumber the treeB from
which the sap has been taken.

OIL ailLti MEN' DECLARE THAT
"TIIE1- .11113 LOSING ai&N'KV.
2 GALLONS LESS OIL PER TON
It
Is Estimntca 'That Farmers Wilt
RcccIto $9000000 IWoro for
This Year's Seed Crop.
HOUSTON Sop 5 With prices
for cotton seed ranging from $19 to
$19.50 per ton in tho Interior which
means $21 to $2150 laid down hi Hous-
ton coupled with tho condition of tho
seed themselves In that they aro bo
dry that they produce on an avcrago
of tvo gallons less oil per ton this
year than last tho cotton seed oil men
aro up ngalnst It
It Is suited that overy mill In Texas
is losing money while nt tho same
time they are all scrambling for all
tho seed they can get. They aro bid-
ding against each other at a llvoly
rate. They must navo tho seed in tno
face of tho fact that tho moro seed
they can get hold of tho moro money
they will lose.
These conditions aro tho result of
(he condition of cotton seed last year.
The storms east of tho Mississippi
river and up through Arkansas ren-
dered the seed in thoso districts al
most unfit for refining purposes. In
fact about 'the only prime oil secured
last year was from Texas Beed.
This condition caused a shortage of
oil and months ago tho consumers of'
fored a big premium for oil. Tho Tex-
as oil mill men taking advantage of
these- offers entered into contracts
the deliveries to be mado from this
season's crop and consequently when
cotton" seed began coming in all tho
millers were pitted against each other
and bidding has been lively ever since
and the mill men do not see the end
yet. It Is stated however that It is ex-
pected there will be a let up about Sep-
tember 15 when the crop begins com-
ing In at a lively rate.
Last year the prices for seed at this
time ranged from $12 to $12.50 per
ton and produced from thirty-five to
thirty-six gallons of oil to tho ton.
Though the price for oil this year is
much better than last year the differ-
ence it is stated will not offiset the
difference the mills are forced to pay
for seed coupled with thq falling off
in producing qualities.
A cotton seed oil man Informed a
Record representative yesterday that
he believed there would bo a let up
by Sept. 15th. Ho states that in his
opinion there will bo 3500000 bales of
cotton produced In Texas this year
less by 500000 bales than last year's
crop. There wero 2500000 tons of
cccd produced in Texas last year or
about half a ton of seed to each bale'
of cotton. Tho same average will hold
good this year it is stated which
means that there will bo a production
of 1750000 'tons of Beed this year or
a quarter of amllllon tons leBs than
last year. The production of oil last
year In Texas was .about 70000000 gal-
lons while production this year from
a crop of 3500000 bales if this esti-
mate'ot the crop 1b not excessive will
bo about 57750000 gallons of oil
While the mill men are up against
It and are according to tho statements
of som of them losing money this
year the farmers aro in cloyer. In
fact the farmers will receive much
nQro money on their short crop this
year than they received last year on
tholr heavy crop. Last year tho farm-
ers received moro than $24000000 for
their seed whilo UiIb year if present
conditions maintain throughout the
.season should tno crop in renuty no
3500000 bales they will receive some-
thing over $33250000 for the seed.
Tho quality of tho Texas seed UiIb
year stated an oil man bo far as the
oil Is concerned is fine. In fact ho
stated tho seed produce a fine uallty
of oil and the only thing that causes
them to complain concerning the qual-
ity of thoWd Is that they aro po dry
that they produce tyo gallons less oil
than last year's seed tho oil produc-
ing qualities of which was on an aver-
age. Escaped Death

Of Interest to Galvestonlans Is tho

the $40000 will bo reached. Tho leg-
