A Utica Aeronaut Drowned Farmer Plan Corner Harriman Immune Criminally Meat Prices Up One Third Mrs. Field a Milk Inspector. Knox a Candidate. Alfred Horsley, alias Harry Orch ard, the actual assassin of Frank Stcunenbeig, went on the stand at Boise, Idaho, us a witness against Will lam D. Haywood and testified to a long cli.iln of brutal, revolting crimes, com milted by himself, he said, at the in' stlgutlon and for the pay of the leud- crs of the Western Federation of Miners. HAHHY ORCHARD. Orchard confessed that as a member of the mob which wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill In the Couer d'Alenrs he lighted one of the fuses that carried lire to the giant powder explosion; confessed that he set the death trap in the Vindicator mine at Cripple Creek which killed Superin tendent McCornilck and Foreman Heck; confessed that because he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence iu the Vindicator mine he was treacherous lo his associates in warning the managers of the Flor ence and Cripple Creek railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Gregory of Denver, killing him instantly; confessed that for days he (logged Governor Peabody of Colorado about Denver for a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine under the station at Independ ence which instantly killed 14 men, and confessed that, falling in an at tempt to poison Fred Bradley of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gelatine powder. His story of brutal crimes brought Ms bloody career down to Caldwell, Dec. SO, 1905, where with a great bomb he killed Governor Steunenberg. The story was told before an anxious rigid crowd, which staringly watched every movement, and word of the witness, a crowd that sickened and grew weary of the fearful details long before James H. Hawley, pleading Ill ness at 3 o'clock, obtained adjournment for the day. He swore that the assassination of Steunenberg was first suggested by Haywood, whs plotted by Haywood, Mover, Pettibone and himself, was financed by Haywood and was execut ed by himself after the failure of an attempt in which Jack Slmpkins par ticipated. Orchard lifted the total of his own victims by murder to 18, detailed the circumstances under which he tried to murder ex-Governor Peabody, Judge Goddard, Judge Gabbert, General Sher man Dell, Davie Moffatt and Frank Herny. Incidentally he confessed to a plan to kidnap the child of one of his former associates. ; . A Pinkerton detective will testify that he has been u member of the Western Federation of Miners for sev eral years and was vice president of a local union. While not u member of the executive board, he was confided In up to a certain point and was mak ing regular reports to the detective agency. This man will be a formid able witness for the state. His employ ment to join the Western Federation nnd learn their secrets is on a par with the detection of the "Molly Ma guires" in Pennsylvania by Captain James McPartland, who has had charge of the case since the arrest of Orchard and who is now superintend ent of the Pinkerton agency with head quarters at Denver. Farmers Plan Corner. One dollar shall be the minimum price for a bushel of wheat, with other grains in proportion, was about the tirst remark at Omaha, Neb., of Presi dent J. A. Everett of Indianapolis, head of the American Society of Equity, when he called to order nearly 400 enthusiastic delegates for the pur pose of nationalizing the grain grow ers' organization. Less than half this number had been expected and when the delegates were joined by 200 Ne braska grain men they looked ready to make deliveries on their contracts. One of the Important objects of the meeting Is to secure control of the 1!07 wheat crop. Asked if such n organization with by-laws such us are proposed would not be subject to prosecution under the effigy- j ,,V Jmmmr provisions of the anti-trust law, PresI dent Everett declared there would be nothing In the constitution to show that it wag a trust. "Everybody is organizing to protect their particular line of business," said Mr. Everett. "Why not the farmer? The American Society of Equity is now in a position to secure loans that will help the farmers to carry their crop until such time as they can get a living price for the grains. We will not stop at. grains; we shall use the same methods to secure top prices for dairy products. We are receiving the support of farmers' elevators and will take most of them into the associa tion." Harriman Declared Immune. A notable conference on trust prose cutions was held at the White House Friday night. Those who participated were President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Secretary Taft, Secretary Cortel you, Secretary Garfield, Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte, Interstate Commerce Commissioners Knapp and Lane and Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, special counsel for the government The discussion was participated In more especially by the president, Mr. Kellogg, Attorney General Bonaparte and Commissioners Knapp and Lane. The conclusion was promptly reach' ed that however damaging the evl donee agulnst Mr. Harriman his testi mony in the interstate commerce in vestigation gave him complete immu nity from criminal prosecution. Commissioner Knapp explained that he had not completed his investlgrv tion and therefore was not prepared to give a definite opinion as to the government's being warranted in in stituting suit to nullify the Alton deal. As soon as the interstate commerce commission has completed Its hearing; In the case a report will be made to the attorney general. He will then take up the matter and determine what, if any action shall be taken. It Is not expected therefore that any In mediate proceedings will be begun. The question of the prosecution of the bituminous coal carrying railroads was discussed but the matter was finally left In the hands of attorney general for such action as he may see fit. No Instructions to bring suit were given him. Alumni Day at Alfred University. Wednesday was alumni day at the Alfred university at Alfred N. Y., and was full of pleasure and profit to all the old students nnd others in at tendance. The president of the a! uninl association, L. G. Backus of New Rochelle, N. Y., delivered a fine ad' dress.

Va., college, and Regent T. Guilford Smith of Buffalo. Meat Prices Up One-Third. Retail prices of beef and Iamb have increased from 20 to 30 per cent, according to butchers and grocers. The packers have raised prices on the ground that the supply Is short.

American Japanese Say Sudden En forcement of Law Segregating Jap anese School Children Followed Mayor's Visit to German Emperor, Hawaiian Sugar Interests Blamed. Tokio, June 11. A deputation of Japanese from the United States ap pearcd today before a meeting of the council of the Progressive party and presented a statement in substance as follows: "The settlement of the San Francis' co trouble cannot be considered as final and a recurrence of the difficulty may be expected at any time. It Is absolutely necessary to place the Jap' anese In a position to receive exactly the same treatment as Is accorded Europeans. The law segregating Jap anese school children was passed three years ago, hut the authorities hesitat ed to carry out its provisions. Its sudden enforcement last year occurred soon after the return of Mayor Schmltz from Germany, where he had an audi ence with Emperor William. Conse quently some are inclined to attribute the mayor's anti-Japanese attitude to the Influence of the kaiser. "Another report is to the effect that the Hawaiian sugar interests have paid the anti-Japanese and antl-Corean organization in San Francisco $3,000,' 000 for preventing Japanese from go ing to California." The Hochi prints a report from Washington stating that the Japanese in America are allied with the Pw gressive party here in an attempt to overthrow the cabinet on account of the American question, but little cred' ence Is placed in this assertion. It is true, however, that the Progressive party is the only political organization which has publicly taken up the ques tion. While avoiding expressions of marked sympathy with the alleged vic tims of the anti-Japanese sentiment, there is no doubt that the Progressives will use the San Francisco troubles as a weapon with which to attack the government, should the ministers fall to effect a speedy and satisfactory set tlement. The United States question Is likely to afford the most popular platform for the Progressives and other opposl' tion parties that are preparing for the general election next spring. PRESIDENT'S SECOND VISIT. It Was Georgia Day and Exposition Managers Called It the Real Opening. Norfolk, Va., June 11. The James town exposition management has de termined to look upon yesterday, the occasion of President Roosevelt's sec ond visit, as the real opening. The president lost no opportunity to voice his approval of the showing made since the backward opening of the exposi tion on April 2fi. It was Georgia day and the open ing of Bullock hall, a replica of the early home of President Roosevelt's mother, at Roswell, Georgia, erected as the Georgia state building, was the feature that drew the president to the exposition for a second visit. From the time the President and Mrs. Roosevelt and their guests were landed at the government pier at 10:50 m. until their departure at 4:37 o'clock in the afternoon every minute was occupied. The president spoke at the Georgia ceremonies from the re viewing stand and in the afternoon ad dressed the convention of the National Editorial association In the exposition auditorium. On both occasions he was given an enthusiastic welcome. He visited the Georgia building, the New York building and the negro exhibit and in drives over the grounds thous ands of people lined the streets and gave him a continuous ovation. The schedule arranged in advance was followed to the lettet and when the Mayflower weighed anchor ut 5 p. m. and the party started on its re turn trip to Washington au unusually strenuous day was closed. The naval review In Hampton Roads and the reception of the commanders of Americanand foreign vessels, which preceded the president's arrival it the grounds, and the military re- rlew on Lee Parade ground, following the president's forenoon address, were similar to those events on the opening day. except for some slight difference In the personnel of the participants.

Germaine Ceru, wanted in Knoxvllle, Tenn., ou i charge of defrauding his creditors. appeared before Judge Winchester. consented to return without fur- tlier nroceedlncs and will be taken back today by Detc:tlvi? Marshall of Knoxvllls. WORRYING OVER KNOX. Senator's Growing Strength Causes Disquietude In Ohio. Washington, June 11. It became evi dent here that the managers of the Taft boom are considerably worried on account of the indorsement of Senator Knox by the Republican convention at Harrisburg. At first Ohloans regard ed the proposition to Indorse Knox as a joke. They could not see anything In it more than there was in the in dorsement of Quay in 189G. Arthur I Vorys, Taft's manager, tame here burdened with the idea that the Knox business was but a favorite son scheme to hold the vote of Penn sylvania in line for somebody else. His mind was disabused on that point long before he went to New York yesterday. The one significant thing he found was that Washington has made an estimate of the two candidates and lias come to a conclusion on that matter. That conclusion is that as the game now Ilea Knox has decidedly the bet ter of the fight. Another conclusion Is that Knox, de spite the presidential approval of Taft, has as good a chance when the convention assembles as has the sec retary of war. Still another conclus ion is that owing to mistakes that have been made In handling the Taft candidacy In his own state the Im mense advantage which the secretary once had by reason of the presidential ipproval cannot be regained even If '.he Taft managers pacify the Ohio senators and give Senator Dick a nhare In the management of the Taft candidacy. Vorys talked with a number of peo ple and upon everyone of them he left the Impression that he has lost the idea which he-brought here with him that Knox will not be a serious factor in the ante-convention fight. It is assumed that Vorys got his no tion that Knox will be more than a perfunctory favorite son from the White House. There is no question but that the president has assured himself that the result of the exclus' ion of the Ohio senators from man agment of the Taft boom is bad and that to overcome the bad effect there must be an enormous hustle in other states. Loose Method of Doing Business. Harrisburg, Pa., June 10. The loose methods of doing business by the state fiscal officers during the construc tion and furnishing of the new Cap! tol were revealed at the hearing by the Investigating committee. The tes tlmony of attaches of the auditor gen era! and state treasury departments showed that bills amounting to $498, 000 were not approved by the superin tendent of grounds and buildings until two years after they were paid. It was also shown that there was no check upon the articles or bills; that iu one instance nearly $500,000 worth of metallic furniture was paid for un der a schedule entirely different from that upon which the contract was made, and that there was no pretense of auditing any of the bills. Girl Ablaze In Crowded Car. Philadelphia, June 11. Fire start ing mysteriously, perhaps from tread ing on a mutch, suddenly enveloped Miss Margaret Chance, 18 years old, while she was riding in a crowded Fox Chase trolley car, and, though the other passengers did nil in their power to check the flames, the girl's cloth Ing was burned off. Every hair was burned from her head, and she was terribly seared. She is at the Penn sylvania hospital, making a brave fight for life, but It la feared that she inhaled the flames and cannot recover. Before she was removed from the trol ley car other women passengers do nated articles of attire to cover her blackened form. Give Up Bessemer Process. Pittsburg, June 11.

Work on the construction of two Cpen-heurth furnaces has been bo gun and more will be added. This ac tion was rendered necessary by the Mcthlchem Steel company, which has already made the change. The cost of the product will not be any greater, but Its liability to breuk is reduced to a minimum and its strength and endur ance will far outrank that of the Bes semer.

A physician points out that several fallacies are common with regard to the weight of the human body. The man who congratulates himself on his gain of several pounds in weight In a given period may have no cause for rejoicing, for he may be under a delu sion. Very few persons, says the In vestigator, have any correct idea of their own w eight. As u mutter of fact, the weight of the body Is continually changing owing to innumerable influ ences. On u warm day after break fast a man will lose more than a third of a pound per hour. Seventy per cent of the body contains water, and Its. weight varies constantly. The infer ence to be drawn from the loss or gain of a pound or two may be mistrusted. Fluctuations of a few ounces are a sign that the body is In a healthy1 state. .Milwaukee Citizen.
