EMPEROR'S ABDICATION
Boise, Idaho, July 17.—Rebuttal
evidence In the Haywood trial will
be concluded this afternoon and as
the case now stands it Is likely that
the- defense will also close Its case.
Arguments may begin on Friday.
O N. Sackett, one of. the officials
of the Smuggler-Union mine at Tellu-
ride, Colo., was the one wftness under
examination this morning- He gave
an interesting account of the condi-
tions existing in Telluride from lttol
to 1904 and leading up to the declara-
tion of martial law. An interesting
piece of documentary evidence intro-
duced by the state was a written
agreement entered into in 1901 be-
tween Edward Collins, manager of the
Smuggler-Union mine and Vincent St.
John, president of the local unoin of
the Western Federation of Miners
Under this agreement, St. John agreed
to stop the attacks upon the Smug-
gler-Unlon mine as agreed between
himself and Mr. Collins.
Under cross examination. Sackett
w«"is unshaken. He justified the action
of the citizens In taking the law Into
their own hands prior to the arrival
of the militia, described the conditions
HH contrar> to the well being of peace
loving citizens.
Poise, Idaho, July 17.—On the open-
ing of court this morning. Mr. Rich-
ard. on notified the state that the de-
fense desired three of tlie sta'e wit-
nesses to remain in town. Judge Wood
announced that prior to the argument i
he would notify counsel as to the main
point in the evidence which he would
instruct the Jury. Clarence Darrow,
.for the defense, announced the sur-
rebuttal for the defense would be very
short.
And Proclaiming of the Crown
Prince Asked by Japan. Ko-
rean Emperor Has Lost
Confidence of People
Judge Wood said that while he
would not limit the attorneys in the
arguments, he probably would lu-
cre.is.- the court hours so as to get
through as quickly as possible. Tlio
lawyers were inclined to protest
against this. Mr. Hawley, for the state,
announcing that he had been anything
but well during the past few days. He
Mid he might have to temporarily
abandon the examination of witnesses
If he felt no better. The matter of
arranging the hours for argument was
finally left in abeyance
O .M Sackett, of Tellurlde, Colo.,
for fifteen years an employe of the
Smuggler-Union mine, was the first
witness of the da-v He told his per-
sonal experiences in the big riot at the i
Smuggler-Union in 1901 when he said
that he and several employes of the .
mine were compelled to run a perfect
hail of bullets In order to get tT> the
mine.

Seoul, Korea, July 17.—Following
a cabinet meeting yesterday which
lasted four hours, the premier had an
audience with the emperor in the
evening continuing for three hours.
It has transpired that the premier
made a strongly worded representa-
tion of the gravity of the situation
caused by his majesty's sending a dep-
utation to the peace conference at The
Hague. He boldly pointed out the
necessity for the emperor's abdica-
tion in favor of the crown prince, and
of his proceeding to Tokio and apolog-
izing to the emperor o§ Japan. The
Korean emporer made no definite re-
ply.
On retiring from the palace, the
premier immediately called another
cabinet meeting which lasted until two
o'clock this morning. The cabinet is
determined to definitely decide on
Korea's attitude today, or by the time
of the arrival of Viscount Hayashi.
Japanese foreign minister. It is be-
lieved that the ministers will insist
on the abdication of the emperor at
all risk.
The Chlng Hoi progressive associa-
tion, which Is supporting the present
cabinet, has officially applied to Mar-
quis Ito to help save Korea fr* m the
grave consequences of the emperor's
action against Japan.
It is reported that the emperor has
withdrawn 400,000 yen deposited in
the Pank of Shanghai.
It Is not considered likely that the
-•mperor will yield to the demand for
his abdlcati*-n-W4thont m atrtT$frlr.
Despite the perturbation and excite-
ment of the court and cabinet, the
populace generally Is calm. Ev^ii the
anti-Japanese association has issued a
manifesto urging the necessity of a
peaceful, prudent attitude at this crit-
ical stage of the situation. The em-
peror, in the opinion of close observ-
ers. has alienated popular afTectlon.
Tokio, July 17.—Although Korea
is under an absolute monarchy, the
democratic custom has existed since
olden days of demanding the retire-
ment from the throne of a sovereign
whose conduit endangers the national
welfare. When such an occasion
arises the usage prevails that all the
cabinet ministers shall appear before
their ruler. One of them, acting as
spokesman, humbly states the advisa-
bility of the emperor's retirement in
favor 'of a rightful successor. When
this state is reached, the emperor Is
morally bound to abdicate

ON THE CHARGE OF MURDER-
ING HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW
Special to The Times-Journal.
Osage Junction, Okla., July 17 The
lifeless body of Frank Bailey, a negro,
who last night was hanged to a tele-
phone pole by a mob to avenge the
shooting of Jack Kelly, of Oklahoma
City, an M., K. & T. brakeman, was
today cut down by Coroner George
Wheeler of Pawnee county, who ar- I
rB'ed this afternoon and ordered that
; . Inquest be held.
Th( Victim of Bailey's revolver Is ly-
ing In a room in the hotel here dying.
Physicians In attendance state that he
can survive but a few hours.
Today the body still hung in full
view of all passing trains and pas-
sengers on all the trains passing
through the city viewed the body as
it hung from the telephone pole. No
attempts were made to cut It down
until the Pawnee county coroner ar-
rived.
Kelly arrived from Oklahoma City
yesterday morning and had been as-
signed to work on a work train run-
ning out of this city between Osatre
and Parsons, Kan He was employed
by Division Superintendent Brown at
Oklahoma City on Monday.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after
I four o'clock the train pulled out of the
local station and in passing to the . n-
gine Kelly noticed the negro hiding i
on the train In an attempt to steal a
ride. He at temped to force the negro
to leave the train and Bailey retorted
by pulling his revolver and shooting
the brakeman through the left side,
the bullet inflicting a mortal wound.
Kelly fell from the train and the
negro jumped and ran down the tr...
Shortly after the train pulled out
of the station Detective Walter Bare,
who Is in the employ of the railroad
here, commenced searching for a grip
belonging to a bridge foreman and
which had been stolen. In walking

LUNCH
WITH THE
PRESIDENT
,
Washington, July 17—The approach
of the first of August marking the be-
ginning of the new herring fishing sea-
son on the codst of New Koundland
is a matter of great concern to the
xtate department, for It fiends the fish-
eries controversy between America and
Great Britain In a most confused and
unsatisfactory shape. The modus
Vivendi entered Into last year, by the
terms of which, and greatly against
the wish of the New l-'oundtanders,
American fishermen were permitted tj
pl> their vocation unmolested off tho
shores of that Island, expired with the
close of the fishing season.
It was the expectation of both the
American and British governments
that before the* opening of next sea-
son some permanent arrangement
i ould be reached that would remove
all future rrlctton on this score. The
New Foundlanders, however, were in-
sistent upon their right to legislate
locally for the fisheries so long as they
,lld not in terms discriminate against
Americans, claiming that in so doing
they were not infringing the treaty
rights of the Americans. The British
government has apparently been
drlv. n finally to concede the sound-
ness of this contention, or at least, It
lias been negotiating through Arnbas-
| sador Held on that basis.
Indications today are thai It will be
I difficult to reach any kind of perina-
I n< ni settlement of the trouble and iho
1 whole effort of the negotiators Is ap-
ently concentrated for the moment
the drafting of some form of mo-
vlvcndi to guard against the rte-
mme.it of friction on the flsh'ng
res that might in The cik1 have
...oils results. Thus, for instance, It
I* said, the 111 Istence of the New
Found landers upon their right to pre-
vent their fishermen from sinning on

Karlsruhe, Germany, July 17.—The
tri.tI of Karl Han. charged with the
murder of his mother-in-law, Frau

ning of November t , l!*0ti, began in
this city today.

human law in George \N ashington
university, Washington, D. C. He
practiced law in Washington up to
the time of his going abroad with his
family about a year ago. After the
alleged murder lie fled to London
wlnie he was taken Into custody
Later be was returned to Germany
and as many people claimed he was
Insane, the question of his mental
condition was thoroughly Investigated
with the result that he w.is formally
declared to be in his right mind.
Mrs. Hau commltteed suicide by
drowning in June of this year, leav-
ing a farewell letter, In which she
said she could no longer bear the sor-
row >.f living apart from her husband
It was once reported that Hau had
confessed to the murder of Frau Mo-
litor, but this was lat* r denied,

ed. He Was accompanied by his coun-

general appearance was that of a
young clergyman of unusual ability
and force for his 26 years.
While Hau chatted cheerfully with
his counsel the nev^spaper men pres-
ent crowded around the green table
fronting the judge's bench to inspect
the gruesome exhibit of I-'rau Mo-
litor'a heart in a glass vessel filled
with alcohol. There is a gaping wound
in the center.
The selection of a jury from a venire
of L'8 men of which each aide could
reject seven, occupied only ten min-
utes. Afterwards a list of more than
seventy witnesses and ten experts to
be called was read.
The presiding Judge examined Hau
for three hours. Hau pleaded not
guilty to the charge against him but
lie admitted having been in Baden
Baden the night the tragedy occurred.
