FRED MILLER's POSITION.
Employed as Attorney by Orchard,
Who Won't See Him.
(SpeciaI d Ne HeraId.

Boise. Ida. Feb. 24.-The attorneys
from abroad who are here TO defend
the men accused of the murder of for
mer Governor Steunenberg have been
surprised at the caImness that pre-
walls They have taken occasion fire.
qUently to speak of it. 1t was shown
on the first trip Of the prisoners to
Caldwell and again today. Very few
people gathered at the depot, and only
a small crowd in the court room. The
fact that the people of that commune
~ have drilled themselves in suppress
sion of their feelings, realizing there
was a great duty to perform and that
excitement should be aIlayed just as
far as possible. This has been done
systematically by the leading men of
the place.
The attitude of Fred Miller in the
proceedings during the empanelling of
the grand jury was highly interest
ing. He informed the court that he
was in an anomalous position as he
had been retained by Orchard and part
of his fee paid. Later, he charged,
the morning papers had published an
article indicating that he had aban-
doned Orchards case and taken a re-
tafner for the other men. That was
based on his employment by the West
ern Federation of Miners Until Mr.
Richardson announced Miller had been
retained there had never been anything
TO indicate who had called him to Or
Chard's defense, and that announce
ment was regarded here as an easy
way of establishing a connection.
Miller, in his remarks to the court.
said the prison authorities had shown
Orchard the paper and on the strength
Of that the latter had refused to see
him when he last called. He added he
wished TO protect Orchards interests
and therefore inteTposed the challenge
to the panel. The impression made
upon the public mind by this incident
IS that the defense is aiming to keep
a hold upon Orchard if possibIe. Judge
Smith permitted Miller to appear. and
he further said he would lock into the
matter and might issue an order per
hitting Miller to see his client.

teen representative men Of Canyon

WORK ON STRAWBERRY
PROJECT STARTS SOON
Especial to The Herald.1

Washington, Feb. 24.-Chief En-
gineer Newell of the reclamation ser
vice has just returned from a months
inspection of irrigation projects includ-
ing Minidoka, Idaho, Strawberry Val
ley, Utah, and GunnisOn, Colorado.
Mr.. Newell states that the hardest
problems which the service now has to
deal with are those of supply of labor
and material. There is hardly a plant
in the country able to supply the iron
and steel material wanted for use in
irrigation works as rapidly as the con-
tractors need it. Contractors also are
hampered by the dearth of competent
workmen.
Mr.. Newell reports satisfactory prog
ress on the Gunnison tunnel project in
Colorado and the Minidoka project in
Idaho. Work on the Strawberry Val
ley project, Utah, will be commenced
early during the coming spring.

Interesting Developments.

Yesterdays developments IN cOnnec-

the senate committee on interstate
commerce continued to be the upper
most topic about the capitol today.
There were comparatively few senator's

in discussing the situation.

slight cold, but felt no doubt that he
would be able to appear in his seat
in the senate on Monday, when he
would report the bill as directed by the
committee. The unexpected assign

ceived as much attention as the sud

President Is Happy.

Representative Townsend of zfichi-
gan. who has been identified with rate
legislation from the inception of the
proposition said, after talking to the
president:
The president is happy. I cannot
say he is perfectly satisfied. for per
haDs he might like to have had some
points Of the measure in different
shape. Upon the whole, however. he
IS in fine spirits. In the selection of
Senator TIlman, q Democrat, to make
the report, it strikes me that some
members Of the committee. realizing
they were defeated, took this means to
slap those who were supporting the
Hepburn bill. The prospect for the
enactment Of the measure is, I think,
very good.

FEARED HONOLULU
HAD BEEN DESTROYED

When the 5. 5. Olympia left Seattle
for Honolulu, the officers did so with
mental reservation, for they did not
know whether they would find Homo
lulu in existence, when they arrived
where Oahu had been on the map, when
they last saw the place. A report was
in circulation in Seattle, printed in the
newspapers, that the entire town of
Honolulu had slid into the bay and been
destroyed b ythe same earthquake THAI
caused the havoc in San Francisco.
The officers would not have been sur
prised in the least, if they had found
nothing here but water, when they
came in the proximity of the islaid. 1t
was with great satisfaction that they
discovered the island apparently intact
and Honolulu nesting in it's usual
place.
I'VE thought We might not find you
here" said Purser Dewar, I'VE did
not know but what we might have TO
go to some other island. The widest
sort of rumors We're started in Seattle

other was the destruction Of Homo

THE SEISMOGRAPH At WEATHER
BUREAU IN WASHINGTON REG
ISTERED THE SHOCK.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1S.-The
weather bureau this afternoon issued
the following report regarding the san
Francisco earthquake:
The great San Francisco earthquake
of April Is, 1906, as registered upon the
uschomori seismograph at the wealth
err brueau office at Washington began
at hours 10 minutes, 20 seconds, 18th
meridian time. The record shows a dis
turbance of considerable magnitude at
Washington, although not severe
enough to be felt by individuals.
The stronger wave motion began at
S:25 a. m, that is about five minutes
after the first imperceptible tremors.
The recording pen was carried entirely
off the record sheet by the violence Of
the motion from 1882 to S35 a. m.
After the latter time the motion
gradually diminished over longer
period of time, but did not entirely
cease until about 1926 p. m.
"'The vibratory motion of the ground
at Washington was really a COMPARE
lively slow and deliberate motion. each
back and forth motion taking Is to 20
seconds of time. The largest move
emnt of the ground, registered before
the pen went off the sheet, amounted
to about four-tenths of an inch, or a
to and fro movement nearly one-half
inch in the surface of the earth in this
city.
