his son.in-law, e. Paralee Prem

Wollman said today:
"'If we had $4,000 we could hire
so process servers, and then I sup
pose we could get hands on Rookie

Ithaca, N. Y, Feb. 24.-Andrew
D. White, former am mbassador to
Germany, in an address before Cor
nell students last night came out
strongly in favor of lynching. He
quoted Goldwin Smith as saying
that there were communities in the
United States where lynch law was
better than any other and excoriat-
ed the maudlin protest against the
summary disposal of murderers and
raviahers. He said only one iu 46
murderers were legally executed.
within the nextyear" he contin-
ued, $1,000 persons will be brutally
killed or destroyed by human hye-
mas. Ny sympathy goes out to
them and their families, not to the
6ends who will destroy them. When
We consider that 45 out of every 4o
murderers escape punishment, Is it
any wonder that outraged commun-
tiles take measures to protect them
selves? Lynching a brute is on
par of stamping out rattlesnake
and those in peril are the best judg-
es Of methods"

St. Petersburg, Feb. 27.-Great
wrath has been reused in Liberal
circles by the publication Of d letter
from Mile. Spiridouovo, the 10.old-
girl who shot M. fundamentally,
chief of the: secret police at Tamboff
in which she described the indig-
mites and brutalities to which she
was subjected. On acc cunt Of her
youth and self. sacrifice in execut-
ing the sentence against M. Luzh-
enofsky, who WAS detested on ac-
count OF his cruelty in suppressing'
thespeasant disorders, she had been
made one Of the heroines Of the rev.
.olution and is called q second Char
ilotte Corday.
The letter says that after the
shooting Of Luzhenoffsky, whose
bodyguard of Cossacks die. mot save
him from five well-aimed bullets.
Mile Spiridonovo was knocked down
and beaten with the whips Of the
Cossacks and rifle butte. She was
then dragged by her hair down
stairs to a sleigh By the enraged
Cossacke, taken to the police sta.
ton, undressed and thrust into a
damp cell, where she wasF subjected
to eleven hours of torment in order
to force her to reveal the names of
her accomplicee.
The girl says that two officers
took brutal pleasure in kicKing her
back and forth across her cell; tear
ing her hair. burning her flesh with
their cigarettes and threatening her
with abandonment to the Cossacks
unless she confessed.
:, Mile. Spiridonovo is now In a
hospital in q serious condition.
Her skull is fractured In two places,
one eye, is injured, and her body
ID mass Of bruises from head to
foot. The newspapers demand the
instant trial and punishment of the
| two officers, whose names are civ.
en-, but the vengeance Of the reyo.

EX. X.GovERNOR OF IDAHO
STEPPED OVER WIRE At
z TACHED TO BOMB.
First Attempt at Murder-Orchard
Spent Much Time in Finding
Out His Ways in Going
Home Before Being
Successful. .es

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 28.-Bit BY
bit tie full story of the prearranged
plans for the assassination. of ex-
Governor Steunenberg is sitting
from beneath the lid. The story of
the murder by the bomb has been
told, 50 hiss the: story of the plan to
shoot him oni Christmas eve. In
all there were three efforts TO naur.
der Idahosf ex.govefnor,I and the
story Of the first attempt leaked
out today for the fret time, as told
by Harry Orchard in his confess
siof1. ri -.
Orchard first arrived il CALDWELL
early IN November, and stayed
there for two weeks. During this
visit he boarded with q man named
w. 81. Schenck, out near the Steu-
nenberg home. Eor the first couple
of days he had no visitors. Each
morning when Orchard left his
boarding house it was noticed that
he turned toward ex Governor Steu:
nenberg's residence and secuted
around the country, getting inform
alton about the ex-governor's hab-
its and taking in the topography Of
the country.
/. After Orchard had been living
with the Schencks about q week a
couple of men answering the de-
scription of Jack Simkins' and
Steve Adams began calling upon
him in the evenings. Sometimes
they came together and sometimes
only one would call Orchard be
gan boarding with Schenck Nov.
and remained until Nov. 20, and il
was between these dates that the
first atrempt to assassinate the ex
governor was made.
! According to Orchards comics
sion, the same bomb which finally
accomplished it's fendish purpos,
was made by the three men between
these dates, and it splaced across
q path which the murderers knew
] ithe ex-governor was won't to travel
going to and from bis home 10 th'
bank in Caldwell. By spying upol
Steunenherg's habits, Orchart
learned that Sleunenberg, when b
reached the end of the sidewalk
took a certain path to bis residence
With this knowledge in thei
possession, the assassins waited Ii
Caldwell until the ex.governo
started home. The man who wa
to place the bomb across the patl
hurried after his victim and oh
tanned a lead of some 200 yards
The other murderers kept saf
distance behind. He carried Ian
tern and at a given signal the maj
who had gone in front stopI ed
placed the bomb on one side of tn
trail. The bomb had a piece q
wire attached to it, and this wir
was fastened to stake which wa
pushed into the soft ground on tn
other side of the trail. Unconsciou
of the terrible fate which awaite
him, Ex-Governor Steunenber
walked over the path, and instea
of striking the wire and setting O
the bomb he stepped over it.

er the heart with long knife, the
blade of which stuck in pocket.
book in his vest pocket, which
probably saved him from serious
consequences.
RAIDER grappled with his assail-
ant, and both rolled into the mud, !,
but the fellow escaped from him
and ran,. as did his companion. As
the assailant struck at RAIDER. he
said,
You stoolpigeon, I'll fix
you."
RAIDER threw up bis left arm and
received a severe cut three inches
long on the hand. RAIDER thinks
the man came on the same train
with him from Portland. He de-
scribes him as being five feet six,
80 years old, black felt bat, black
mustache, slouchy anpearance,
square-cut coat, with some appear
ance of being an Italian. Officers

I Paul RAIDER came to Salem from
Woodburn this morning to attend
a meeting of Salem pastors tonight.
He is staying with his brother,
Ralph RAIDER, at the Brown boarding
house on summer street. He is ac-
companied by II. L. McCabe, the
minor who was engaged to procure
evidence against divekeepers in
Portland. When seen tonight, Ra-
der gave full account of the at
tack upon him. He said:
II left the house about $50 and
went south on Summer street to
Chemeketa and crossed over to the
west eide of Summer. Two men
were standing On the sidewalk at
the corner, but I did not pass them,
as I cut across the corner on the
grass and went across Chemeketa
street. The two men followed me.
AS I reached the other side of the
street one of the men said, 'Pard-
ner,' and 1 partly turned and asked
What is it?' He said:
"'Which way is the depot from
here?'
II am stranger in Salem and
had to think a moment, but as
soon as I got my bearings I raised
my umbrella to point the direction.
At that instant one man hit me in
the back of the head and the other
who was at my side, struck me in
the left breast. I was not looking
at him and did not see knife. ]
threw up my left arm to guard my
| self snd felt knife drawn across
the back of my left hand.
"Ths two men broke and ran
west on Chemeketa street over a
sidewalk partly torn up, and took
after them. AS they turned into
the alley I caught the coat Of the
man who stabbed me, but just then
1 tripped over fallen fence and
lost my hold. l was shouting for
assistance, and some college boys
came. I left them to watch while
I went back to the house after re.
volver, but we could find nothing
of the men, and I went to the sher'
if's Office and reported the assault

Heavy soil and heavy weight brought
about the defeat OF Phil Finch, the best
race horse in the south, In the handicap

scarcely keep his feet In the muddy
track. and although he ran a creditable
race he was beaten easily by Cigar
Lighter.
The defeat Of Phil Finch was a sad
blow 10 the many racegoers at the Fair
Grounds track. They had considered
him a certain winner and backed him
very heavily at odds OF l3 to 10. When
Cigar Lighter took the lead and held II
easily throughout and won by two
lengths. the bookmakers from their stools
near the betting ring yelled joyfully. for
they paid out very few bets on the win
ner and kept all Of the Phil Finch money
The favorite ran well with his 133 pounds
and after game struggle finished sec
ond. three lengths before ST. Valentine.
Sullivan's trainer. would not take the
change OF starting Frank Lord in the sec
ond race for fear OF possible injury and
that good colt was withdrawn. His
absence caused Black Mate TO be made an
odds-on favorite at 10 over Bob's Pet
and Glad Pirate. Black Mate beat his
field easily. Pepper and Salt was a
length behind.
