Judge Wood said he had decided that many of the articles should bo accepted. These were the ones printed prior to tha death of As to artiGovernor Steunenberg. cles subsequent to thut date, the court declared it had some doubt and would resolve that doubt In favor of the deBoise, ! fendant "The evidence in the case on trial," said Judge Wood, "shows considerable difference to the case cited yesterday by counsel for the defense and known generally as the "Anarchists case." In that instance the state relied upon a chain of circumstances and many of the publications there admitted were published by the defendants themselves and were presented for the specific purpose of showing the intention of the defendants to commit the crime charged and their animus toward the police. "In the case on trial, the evidence of the state purports to come in part from one of the parties to the defense. That witness has stated that not only has he committed the crime here charged, but several others as well and he is relied upon to show that the crimes were committed at the inclines of this defendant and other defendants said to be the managing officers of the Western Federation of Miners. "The magaxine offered in evidence appears to have been under the control of those officers. The court is oonvlnced that, aa showing the attitude of the organization and the attl-tuJ- e of the managing officers, their animus and feeling toward those against whom the crimes were committed or attempted, certain of the publications cited by the slate are admissible. The court will admit the articles bearing on former Governor Peabody, Steunenberg. .Governor Judges Gabbert and Goddard Mid several others. As to the articles, following the commission of any crime, the court bss some doubt and will resolve that doubt in favor of the defendant." "To which ruling." imposed Attorney Richardson, "we desire to preserve an exception. "It will be noted," said the court. "And we would also like the ruling to state that the defense may Introduce any articles it desires from the magazine," added Attorney Darrow. "The court will pass on that when it comes to it." said Judge Wood. Senator Borah then read from a copy of the first issue of the mag, slue, the article written by Ed. Boyce, in which he outlined the policy of the magazine as proposing to stand for the interest of the Western Federation of Miners and. in a general wav. for the Interest ct all laboring classes against the Predatory class."

The riotous element uf the populace of thia place cast off all restraint this afternoon and the city became the scene of many wild excesses, A secret police agent was lynched, and other persons were treated with the most extra ordinary brutality. For a gendarme or policeman to appear on the tret-alone was to court the risk uf being clubbed to3rith. The troops ultimately were tnllgtd to intervene for the protection of ofiiorKtff the law. This resulted in further bloodshed. The secret police agent who was lynched, was patrolling the Promenade Des Barques when the mob suddenly invaded the street. They seised him and clubbed him until he , was senseless. Body Riddled With Bullets. : : Then they riddMx.hls body with bullets and pitched hla into the canal. Later they fished the body out of tho water and attaching a rope to It dragged It through the streets acting ferociously all he time. When the trbops arrived there was sharp fighting. The mob attempted to ruh the soldiers, but the latter fixed bayonets and repelled .the assaults. Revolvers were drawn by the rioters and the troops were fired upon until to they were forced in hoot. Numbers of the mob fell, four persons being killed, among whom wu a girl 20 yean old. Others are known to have been wounded and many others were carried off by friends. Several casualties occurred among the gendarmes. Pol lee Officers Attacked. Police officers were attacked and and maimed, but savagely they managed to escape with tneir Uvea. Gun stores were raided and the revolutionist i, who were armed with revolvers, appeared to be fearless of the infantry. Frequent cavalry charges were necessary to disperse them. Street barricades were numerous, but they were torn down by the troops almost as soon as completed.

Denver, Colo., June 20. The first public land convention ever held came to an end iate this afternoon with the aduptiuu of a aeries of resolution which were not so radical as expected. A letter from President Roosevelt waa a feature of today sesalou. The resolution over which there waa the most dispute read: "We oppose any change In the existing laws and custom, aa to graslng livestock upon tbe public domain, outside uf forest reserves." The resolution says that experiences has demonstrated the wisdom of the policy 4 treating the lands of the nation aa a public trust to be aispoaed of lu all raaes and wherever puwillile to actual tetllers. Tbe people uf the west are unalterably opposed to any change In Ihla wholesome and beneficial policy. Forest reserves shuuld only be created where they du nut infringe upon this policy, la all case the rights of tbe states and the people of the state to the free and unhampered use of all waters within .forest reservations should 1m not only permitted but encouraged, and no charge should ba Imposed thereupon. The necessity of forest resert stliins is recognised and reasonable regulations by the government commended. The resolution however, favors the prompt elimination from forest reservations of all lands not timbered or suit able for reforestation or reasonably neceasaVy to conserve the flow of streams naed for Irrigation. It la especially urged that the report of special and secret service agents of the land department and of the department of agriculture shall be made under oath. A modification of any existing orders which prevent bona fide filings oo say of the public cool lands is demanded. The National Irrigation law is heartily endorsed. It la asked that congress legislate appropriately with respect to school lsnds In reservations In order that each state deprived of these lsnds may receive its full qnuta of lands or lls equivalent, for the purpose for which they were originally lnlendud. ' It Is finally demanded tbat In aisles wherein forest reserves are situated and not desired and are excessive, the reservation should be reduced to reasonable limits whether the land restored contain timber or not. Opening of Session. At the opining of the convention this morning Murdock MnKenifie, president of tbe National Livestock association demanded to know when those la favor of tho present plan of administration of public lands could be heard. The chair aannuurced that they would bo heard Immediately after Secretary James A.

The report was adopted. ' President Roosevelt's Latter. Secretary Garfield made a lengthy atgumeut In support of the position naunted by hi department. He read a letter from President Roosevelt, which was addressed to Berretary of Agriculture Wilson, when it waa expected he would be present st the convention. Tbe latter lu part follows: "There has been placed In my hands a paper purporting to be Issued by the program coiuiulita of Ihe public lands convention to be held In Denver. The preliminary dlacuslun of the general subject Id this paper contains several statements to which I desire to call your special attention, as they not merely misrepresent the attitude of the administration, but portray that altitude as the direct reverse of what it really is. The first and most Important of these misstatement is to the effect that there has been a change in tbe public land policy of the government, which change will mult In depriving the western states of the right to settle the publle lands ohh clUaens. This allegation directly reverses the actual facts. The course the government Is now pursuing Is to carry out the traditional policy of the United States sa to its public lands. The men most Interested la opposing tha nrtiun uf Ihe administration are themselves endeavoring to upset the traditional course of the government and are doing nil in their power to turn the public land over to be by rich men and powerful corporations, whose Interests are hostile to those of the T Promote The policy of Ihe present administration has steadily been and will be In the future to promote and foster actual settling, actual hnmemaklng on tbe publle lands In every possible wsy. "We have Incurred the violent hostility of Ute individual and corporations seeking, by fraud and- sometimes e by violence, to acquire aud monopol-Itto domain of tracts public great the escluslim of settlers. The beneficiaries and Investigators of, or participator in, the frand. of course, disapprove the acts of the administration. But If the sdmlnlat rut ton's policy Is upset, tbe one man who would be Irreparably Injured would be tbe the man of aetiler, the anrall mean, who has taken up farm which he Intend himself to work and on the proceeds of sfaleb he Intends to support aud bring up bis family. iAst year the coal lands were withdrawn from settlement to enable congress to consider a law to protect the publle interests against the great coal monnpnllns. by leasing the right to mine tbe publie coal. Unfortunately congress failed to act in the matter; and most of the coal lands have been already restored to entry, while the remainder are being rente red as rapidly as the necessary examinations In tbe field can be made. About the Coal Lands. "As n matter of actual fact most of the coal lands have hitherto been taken under some forms of entry other than those of the coal entry laws, and many esses by artual fraud. The administration will certainly renew Its efforts to get congress to pass a law which will do sway with the fraud. "The writers uf this program stats that the plan for government control of the range submitted to congress last winter involved the perpetual ownership of tbe lauds by the government This statement Is not In accord with the facts. The proposed law specifically provided that the range land under government control had been open to entry or location under all of the public land laws, and provided In every way for the protection and rights of the settler As a matter of fact one of the prime reasons for advocating it passage. Is because if enacted It would safer guard tbe rights of the on the public range far more .effectually than thev are now safeguarded and would make settlement easier and sator than It can .possibly , be under present conditions. Creation of Fsreat. Reserves Delayed. As to tbe forest reserves, tbelr creation has damaged jsst one classt t he managers and owners of great lumber companies- - whlsh by- - Illegal, fraudulent, or unfair- - methods, have desired to grt possession of tbe timber of the public domain, to kin the land, and to abandond It when impovershed well nigh to the point of worthlesaneM. It has been alleged that the government Intends to make the users of water for irrigation pay 'for their water. There has never been any surh Intention and no each course will ever be followed while the present administration is In existence.

Mr. Garfield said It was the policy of the interior department to put aa actual settler on evory acre of agricultural laud In tho forest reserves. The secretary denied the intention to do anything unconstitutional in regard to public land.
