Boise, Idaho, March 3.—The Statesman soys: "The Statesman is authorized to state that Adams, arrested at Haines, Oregon, on Pel/. 20. in connection with the assassination of Former Governor SteunenDerg, has made a.full and sweeping confession. "The young people were unattended [and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. S. Powell, of the Methodist church. So shocking was the sight to tho fond mother that she suddenly was bereft of her reason. Seizing the child in her arms, regardless of the flames, she dashed wildly froni the house and darted hither and thither, shrieking at the top of her voice. Of a sudden the neighbors, who were hurrying toward her. saw her turn to the railroad and make for a train that was approaching from 3 once. The paper says the Germans do not desire war, but the German army is ready, and its superior mobilization plans would enable it to make a rapid invasion of French territory. Mr. Patterson, who is the youngest official ever appointed to so important a post in Chicago, is twenty-eight years old. He is the son of Robert Patterson, owner of the Chicago Tribune. "A wedding breakfast was served at 1 o'clock. "The guests were limited to the families of the young people and intimate friends.

"This confession is far more Important than thaf made by Harry Orchard. This statement was**made by James McParland, a detective In charge of the investigation, last evening in the presence of Governor Gooding, of Idaho, and J. H.

In the chamber of deputies War Minister Etienne. replying to criticisms of the army expenses, said that the minister, lieipg a civilian, was obliged to depend on the judgment of military experts who upheld fortifications, maintaining that the fortifications of France are amply sufficient to defend her eastern frontier. "Mr. McParland added that Adams's confession fully and exactly corroborated that made by .Orchard at every point touched on by both. The cyclone struck the city near the Mew Orleans and .Northeastern depot. The passenger and freight depots were completely destroyed. Sixteen employees of the Qtteen and Crescent railroad were buried in*the ruins, and as far as could lie learned none of tlieiu lias been rescued. A number of ImhIies have already been found, but as the cyclone passed through a densely populated section of poor houses and these houses caught lire immediately it will take days to learn the exact total number of the killed. Federal Government Will Move With INDEFINITE SHUT DOWN. "Moreover, McParland continued, Adams knows far more of -the workings of the 'Inner Circle' than Orchard did, and was able to give a mass of detailed information that Orchard's confession did not cover. The confession of Adams, he said, corroborated that given by Orchard in every substantial point connected with the assassination of Governor Stunenberg. Adams, however, was not at Caldwell at the time of the assassination, nor was Orchard at the time of the unsuccessful effort to kill Stuenenberg in Determination Against Natur- alization Frauds. Snatching the blazing child from the mother's grasp, the rescuers extinguished the. flames and hurried them both to the Roybe home, where a physician did what he could to allay the physical suffering of the child and the mental derangement of the mother.' The child, after lingering for eight hours, died in great agony. "The universal ballot gives every male citizen an equall political opportunity.

All the necessary measures have been taken.

November Two large wholesale stores, one smaller one. the principal hotel, the electric lighting plant and all the smaller property between the Mobile and Ohio railroad depot and the business part of the city are badly damaged. Twenty-one men were caught in a restaurant. and several were killed. Two .stories of the Y. M. C. A. building were wrecked, and other buildings suffered in the upper stories. Down Notice Was l'ostcd "Still another statement made by Detective McParland was that Adams's confession gave the details of a large number of murders that were not referred to in any manner by Orchard. It was further stated that confession had been reduced to writing. signed and acknowledged. It was a voluminous document, covering a greater field.and in more detail than was made by Orchard. The further statement was made that Adams had made the confession without being promised anything. When talked with about the matter lie simply made a clean breast of all lie knew of this case anil of the secret workings .of the Western Federation. This Morning. MORE ENGINES. This crusade is the direct Outcome of the arrest of Martin Muchitz. of Forest City, on the charge of perjury In connection with the application of Joseph Bojde for naturalization papers. In the Investigation following his arrest, it became apparent to the officials of the government that a FerilWood colliery, of the Hillside Coal & Iron Co., has shut down indefinitely, a notice tvC that effect having been ooste 1 this morning by E. D. CaryJ, the district suoerlntendent of the Hillside Co. The colliery was idle the past two days. and it seems probable that the present suspension will be of some duration.

The colliery continued in operation, and Superintendent Owens, when questioned about the matter, said he had not heard anything about it. though he said there might have been some disagreement between a foreman and the men which had not reached his ears. A statement came indirectly from one of the men who left the mine, that the miners were not satisfled with the price they were getting for cars.

"The young people were unattended [and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. H. S. Powell, of the Methodist church. So shocking was the sight to tho fond mother that she suddenly was bereft of her reason. Seizing the child in her arms, regardless of the flames, she dashed wildly froni the house and darted hither and thither, shrieking at the top of her voice. Of a sudden the neighbors, who were hurrying toward her. saw her turn to the railroad and make for a train that was approaching from 3 once. The paper says the Germans do not desire war, but the German army is ready, and its superior mobilization plans would enable it to make a rapid invasion of French territory. Mr. Patterson, who is the youngest official ever appointed to so important a post in Chicago, is twenty-eight years old. He is the son of Robert Patterson, owner of the Chicago Tribune. "A wedding breakfast was served at 1 o'clock. "The guests were limited to the families of the young people and intimate friends. The bridal couple will leave this afternoon for a wedding trip to the east. Including Binghamton. N. Y., the former home of the groom. "This confession is far more Important than thaf made by Harry Orchard. This statement was**made by James McParland, a detective In charge of the investigation, last evening in the presence of Governor Gooding, of Idaho, and J. H.

In the chamber of deputies War Minister Etienne. replying to criticisms of the army expenses, said that the minister, lieipg a civilian, was obliged to depend on the judgment of military experts who upheld fortifications, maintaining that the fortifications of France are amply sufficient to defend her eastern frontier. "Mr. McParland added that Adams's confession fully and exactly corroborated that made by .Orchard at every point touched on by both. The cyclone struck the city near the Mew Orleans and .Northeastern depot. The passenger and freight depots were completely destroyed. Sixteen employees of the Qtteen and Crescent railroad were buried in*the ruins, and as far as could lie learned none of tlieiu lias been rescued. A number of ImhIies have already been found, but as the cyclone passed through a densely populated section of poor houses and these houses caught lire immediately it will take days to learn the exact total number of the killed. Federal Government Will Move With INDEFINITE SHUT DOWN. "Moreover, McParland continued, Adams knows far more of -the workings of the 'Inner Circle' than Orchard did, and was able to give a mass of detailed information that Orchard's confession did not cover. The confession of Adams, he said, corroborated that given by Orchard in every substantial point connected with the assassination of Governor Stunenberg. Adams, however, was not at Caldwell at the time of the assassination, nor was Orchard at the time of the unsuccessful effort to kill Stuenenberg in Determination Against Natur- alization Frauds. Snatching the blazing child from the mother's grasp, the rescuers extinguished the. flames and hurried them both to the Roybe home, where a physician did what he could to allay the physical suffering of the child and the mental derangement of the mother.' The child, after lingering for eight hours, died in great agony. "The universal ballot gives every male citizen an equall political opportunity.

November Two large wholesale stores, one smaller one. the principal hotel, the electric lighting plant and all the smaller property between the Mobile and Ohio railroad depot and the business part of the city are badly damaged. Twenty-one men were caught in a restaurant. and several were killed. Two .stories of the Y. M. C. A. building were wrecked, and other buildings suffered in the upper stories. Down Notice Was l'ostcd "Still another statement made by Detective McParland was that Adams's confession gave the details of a large number of murders that were not referred to in any manner by Orchard. It was further stated that confession had been reduced to writing. signed and acknowledged. It was a voluminous document, covering a greater field.and in more detail than was made by Orchard. The further statement was made that Adams had made the confession without being promised anything.

This crusade is the direct Outcome of the arrest of Martin Muchitz. of Forest City, on the charge of perjury In connection with the application of Joseph Bojde for naturalization papers. In the Investigation following his arrest, it became apparent to the officials of the government that a FerilWood colliery, of the Hillside Coal & Iron Co., has shut down indefinitely, a notice tvC that effect having been ooste 1 this morning by E.

A statement came indirectly from one of the men who left the mine, that the miners were not satisfled with the price they were getting for cars.
