LONG STORY OF CRIME
Orchard's Testimony Implicates
IV. D. Haywood as Instigator.
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.

AN ISSUMN JAPAN.
San Francisco Trouble Popular
Platform For Progressives.
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.
Have You a $10,000 Bill?
Waslngton. June 11. All persons
having $10,000 bills about the house
should immediately exchange them for
some other kind of cash. Announce
ment Is made that the present issue of
$10,000 notes will be called In and
canceled. This action has been de
cided upon owing to the fact that 14
of the said $10,000 bills were among
hose which vanished in Chicago last
vlnter when $173,000 disappeared from
the sub-treasury.

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. In response to
the insistent demand for more durable
rails, the Carnegie company Is chang
ing the process of making steel from
the Bessemer to the open hearth ut
the Edgar Thomson works, Its largest
plant. 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.
To Eliminate Tariff on Meats.
Syracuse, June 11. The New York
State Master Butchers' association, In
annual convention nere, voted to in
struct Its delegates to the national con
vention to start an agitation for the
elimination of all tariffs on meats,
with a view to creating competition.
Th association alfo passed a resolu
tion protecting against the tale of

nriiiK tv -luh t of the Hotly.
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.
The Life I.lne on the Font.
Starting from the base of the big toe
there is a distinct line. That is the life
lino. In one loot it will curve along,
until it terminates under the instep far
toward the lower base of the little toe.
This means long life. If broken In the
hollow of the foot it denotes n sickness,
at middle age. and If It terminates in
the hollow of the loot It means a short,
life. This line Is the most Interesting
one on the foot. The experiments that
have been conducted have proved this
to lie au almost uufailiug reading of'
longevity.

I.niiKnnur of the Heart.
The language of the heart which
nines from the heart nud goes to the
heart is always simple, graceful and
full of power, but no art of rhetoric
can teach It. It is at once the easiest
and most illllieult language ditlicult
since It needs a heart b speak It; easy
because its periods, though rounded
and full of harmony, are still unstudied.-
