Denver Dry TiI,ase Experiments.

The Park board of Denver has de-
cided that 1t will cooperate with the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture in experiments soon to be con-
Quoted in Denver. The department
will take up the study of producing
wheat, oats, rye and barley on dry
land. The Park board will assist the
department by giving over to it the
use of ten acres of land in the north
end of City park near the driving park.
The land will be above the city ditch
and will be wholly without irrigation.
Experiments conducted privately
with these grains have shown that
there is great possibilities in this d.
rection. 1t is the plan of the depart
ment to get breeds of wheat that will
grow with the minimum amount OF irri-
CATION, If possible to get qualities of
grains that will need no more moisture
than 1t can get from precipitation In
an ordinary Colorado season. The
land in City park is admirably fitted
for the proposed experiments. The
matter OF turning over the land to the
government is in the hands of Jacob
Fillius with power to act.
The Park board will conduct some
experiments Of its own with the view
of securing dry grass suitable for
park purposes that will not need irri-
cation. The seed has already been re-
ceived and as soon as the time for
planting comes this spring 1t will be
planted. Some of the land In City
park is not under the city ditch. and
the board is anxious to have 1t sown
to grass. 1t will be necessary, there
fore, to secure a grass that does not
need much water. This seed will be
planted in City park and in Washing
ton park.

RIGHT OF WAY SUIT.
Progress Of Saratoga & Encampment
Railroad.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-The fight between
the Union Pacific and the Saratoga &
Encampment railway companies over
a right of way for the latter over the
railroad grant lands of the former
from Walcott south toward Saratoga,
which has been brewing for
some time, is now on in
dead earnest. On Wednesday the
Saratoga & Encampment company
filed suit at Rawlins to compel the
Union Pacific to permit the former cor
poration to lay line of standard rail-
way from the southern edge. Of the
Union Pacific lands to Walcott.
Attorneys for the Saratoga & En-
campment say they have for months
attempted to compromise yuatters
with the overland route, but that the
latter would not accept any of their
propositions. They are now prepared
to fight it out in the courts, and are
sanguinc as to the outcome.
Graders for the Saratoga & Encamp-
ment, which Is reported to be part of
the Denver Yellowstone & Pacific, are
now at work between Saratoga and
Walcott throwing up the grade as fast
as the work can be done. The COM
pany hopes to have the line ready for
trains not later than May list. The
present suit with the Union Pacific
may cause a further delay, however,
but so sure are the S. & E. officials
over the outcome of the suit that they
are already making preparations to
handle business from Saratoga on May

MORE EVIDENCE.
STEVE ADAMS coNFEssEs INNER
CIRCLE GRIMES.
CoRRoBoRATING ORCHARD

Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details Of Many Mxrders-TeIls
Secret Workings of the Western
Federation.
Boise, Idaho.-The Statesman prints
the following:
"The Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested at
Haines, Oregon, on February goth, in
connection with the Steunenberg as
sassination, has made full and sweep
ing confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This is the statement made
by James MCFARLAND, the Pinkerton de-
tective last evening, in the presence
Of Governor Gooding and ]. H. Haw-
ley, who is N charge of the prosecu-
ton.
"Mr. Mcfarland added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrob-
Grated that made by Orchard at every
point touched on by both.
Moreover, MCFARLAND continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
ings of the sinner circle than Orchard
did, and was able to give mass Of de-
tailed information that Orchards con-
fession did not cover. The confession
Of Adams, he said, corroborated that
given by Orchard on every substantial
point connected with the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg. Adams,
however, was not at Caldwell at the
time of the assassination, nor was Or
chard at the time of the unsuccessful
effort in November. The man who as
sisted Orchard on the latter occasion,
as set forth in Orchards confession,
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confes-
sion gave the details of large num-
ber Of murders that were not referred
to in any manner by Orchard. 1t was
further stated that the confession had
been reduced to writing, signed and
acknowledged. 1t was voluminous
document, covering a greater field and
in more detail than was made by Or
chard. The further statement was
made that Adams had made this con-
fession without being promised any
thing. When talked with about the
matter he simply made clean breast
of all he knew of this case and of the
secret workings of the Western FEEDER
alton.
1T was announced by the governor,
Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. MCFARLAND that,
while they thought these facts should
be made public, there would be no
further information given out or
hinted at respecting this confession

SUGAR BEET VICTORY,
Philippine Tariff Bill Killed by senate
Committee.

Washington.-By vote of eight to
five Friday the Senate committee on
the Philippines defeated the Payne
bill, which had passed the House by a
vote of 25s to II.
The action Of the committee had
been foreshadowed for nearly a week,
although the exact vote had not been
known.
The senators voting for the bill
were: Lodge. Beveridge. Long. Car
mack and McCreary.
The negative votes were: Hale, Bur-
rows. Dick, Nixon. Brandegee, Culber-
son, Dubois, Stone.
After this decisive action had been
taken, Mr.. McCreary moved that the
bill be reported to the Senate ad-
versely, in order to give the Senate
a chance to consider it.
Mr.. Brandegee moved to table the
motion and this was carried by a vote
Of to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting with the
minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes of
the measure, unless the chairman
ououl0 dppcdl " lue OSudI0 ny TeSO-
luton.
After Brandegees proposal that the
bill should be tabled, Mr.. Lodge, the
chairman, addressed the committee.
He said the course proposed was un-
usual and that there could be no good
purpose accomplished in thus prevent
ing the Senate from reviewing the
action of the committee If it desired.
The opponents of the bill made no
reply.
After the bill had been effectually
disposed of, Mr. McCreary moved to
report his bill, which provided for
free trade with the Philippines imme-
diately.
This motion was lost, only four SEN
ators voting in the affirmative. They
were McCreary, Culberson, Carmack
and stone.
The Payne bill provided for the re-
duction of duty on sugar, tobacco and
rice imported from the Philippines, to
thirty-two per cent. of the Dingley
schedules, and for absolute free trade
after three years.

INVESTIGATION OF sTEUNEN-
BERG MURDER.
Statements Reported to Have Been
Made Before the Grand Jury at
Caldwell, Idaho,


Denver.-Under date of March 1st
the Denver News correspondent tele-
graphs from Caldwell, Idaho:
The witnesses examined to-day were
Orchard, who, it is believed, will go on
the stand again tomorrow; James Nc
Parland, the Pinkerton detective;
Andy Johnson of Boise, George Fro
man, a resident of Caldwell, and Prof.
S. r. Macy, state chemist.
McParland's testimony went to cor
roborate the statements contained in
the confession of Orchard. The wit
ness stated to the jury that his inves-
legations had disclosed that bomb
hal been placed in the yard of Judge
Goddard of Denver; that the death OF
Valley in Denver by bomb explosion
was due to the Western Federation Of
ficials.
. MCFARLAND also reported to the jury
that the agents of the Western Feder-
alton had conducted their experiments
with bombs on the prairies to the north
of Manahatton beach, Denver.
Among the charges made by McPar-
land were the death of Martin Gleason.
mine superintendent of Cripple Creek;
the murder of Arthur Collins, the ex-
plosion in the Vindicator mine by
which two men met their deaths. the
mysterious disappearance of Barney,
the mining engineer employed at the
Telluride.
Under the latitude allowed witnesses
in the grand jury room the witness
gave many statements on information
and belief in which he charged the
miners organization with responsible
ity for no less than twenty-six fatali-
ties.
He charged that Haywood was the
mind which originated and com-
manded the execution of all the plots.
Moyer was the dupe, said the witness,
and Pettibone lent his counsel to the
business for the financial returns 1t
netted him.
Professor Macy examined the
bombs, said to number twenty-five,
which were found in Orchards room
and among his effects. Andy John
son was a witness at the preliminary
hearing of Orchard. At this hearing
he was asked by Orchards counsel II
he was working for a reward when he
made the arrest. He denied the i'm
putation, but later when he found there
were rewards OHered he asked Judge
Church to have his answer stricken
from the records in order that he
might share in the prize money
Among the witnesses subpoenaed to-
morrow are w. s. Swain of the Thiel
Detective Agency, and Joseph Hutch
inson, who was lieutenant governor
with Steunenberg, and who was the
first man to break into Orchards room
at the Saratoga hotel. 1t is believed
that the grand jury will be ready to re-
port the indictments not later than
next Monday. Under the law indict-
ments must be accompanied by n
transcript of the testimony and as a
great number of witnesses will be ex-
amined 1t may take day to prepare
the returns after the work Is con.
cluded.
