ORCHARD MAKES CONFESSION

Boise Idaho, Feb 1e.-Charles E.. Mover, President of the Western Fed eration of Miners; William D. Hayward, Secretary of the same organization, and c. A. Pettibone, former member or the Executive Committee, of the Federa- tion. who were arrested In Denver Satur- day night charged with complicity Tn the assassination of Frank Steuen- burg, former Governor of Idaho, arr rived here today in custody of strong guard of Idaho and Colorado officers.
 The prisoners were taken directly to the Idaho penitentiary. Orchards al legged confession purports to give de- tails of the plot to assassinate former Governor Steuenburg from it's incep- tion. It gives the names of other men alleged to be implicated. Since the confession was secured, more than two weeks ago. the detectives have verified many of the details.
 One of the statements in this con" fession is that Orchard was selected to assassinate one of the Justices of the Supreme Court of Colorado year ago. He says he buried a bomb at the judges gate. but when he pulled the string the contrivance failed to ex- 1lode.
 The Bomb Found.
 He took he,string away and gave up he attempt. Detective James McPar- and, of Denver. has. 1t is claimed. vince dug up the bomb.
 Tn his alleged confession Orchard Iays he was alone in the actual exc .ution of the Caldwell plot; that he first planned to shoot steuenburg with buckshot and went to the house Christ mas Eve for that purpose. intending to shoot through the window, but aban- 5oned, the plan and hid q number of cartridges under the sidewalk. The cartridges have since been found by the officers.
 Orchard has. it Is claimed. told of the workings of an inner circle" of the Western Federation of Miners maintained in Denver; gives details of a plot that led to the killing of a number of men insthe Telluride district in CoIofado and information Of the va rious outrages in Cripple Creek He duplicates Jack Simking and a man named Adams in the Steunenburg con spirney. officers are searching for both of these men in oregon,

and transport in completion of the con- tract the commodity sold when the price stipulated in the contract does not pay the cost of purchase and the cost of delivery under the published freight rates?"
 Justice White said there were prac7 ticaly decisions of the court to quot. features of the interstate ccmmes% law dealing with discriminations. : bates or favoritism have not beefN h. volved in cases in court.
 Tt cannot he said "be chal ged that the great purpose of the# et to regulate commerce while se ng to prevent unjust and unreasons ~ rates, was to secure equality of x&s as to all and to destroy favoF m. Now in view of the positive cor ind of the section of the act that n@ departure from the published rate shall be made directly or indirectly" how can 1t in reason be held that carrier may take itself from out of the statute in every case by simply electing to be dealer and transport commodity In that character?"
 He added: Now If by the mere fact of purchasing and selling merchandise to be transported a carrier is endowed with the power of disregarding the published rate, 1t becomes apparent that the carrier possesses the right to treat the owners of like commodities by entirely different rules. By interpret ing the prohibitions of the statute as it is contended they should be, 1t would follow that every individual would be bound by the published tariff and the carrier alone would be free to disre- gard it. Thus the statute, whilst sub jecting the public to the prohibitions, would exempt the carrier and would thereby enormously increase the oppor- tunity of the latter to do the wrongs which the statute was enacted to pre- vent"
 Concluding. Justice White said:
 Concluding there fore that both the contracts made by the Chesapeake and Ohio with the New Haven were contrary to public policy and void be- cause in conflict with the prohibitions of the act to reguiate commerce, 1t obviously follows that such contracts were not susceptible of being enforced by the New Haven and afforded no legal basis for claim of the New York, New Haven and Hartford against the Chesapeake and Ohio, and there fore the court below was correct in so deciding"
 The cross appeal of the interstate commerce commission was then consid- cred briefly and the general conclus- ion reached that "The injunction be- low should be modified and enlarged by perpetually enjoinIng the Chesa- peake and Ohio from taking less than the rates fixed in it's published tariff of freight rates by means of dealing in the purchase and sale of coal. And as thus modified the aecree below is affirmed"

Railroad President WnO Believes That There Should Be SteguIattOn of Rates Ny the Federal Cove
 ernmeMx.

E Washington. Feb. Iy.--Two impor- itart conferences on railroad rate legts- lation were held at rne White House today at both of which the situation was, discussed thoroughly. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania. former attor- Eey general. who is credited with hay- Ing in preparation important amend ments to the pending fegislation. and Charles s Mellen, president or the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rail- road. talked with the President at length. Mir. Mellen was accompanied by. T. E. Byrnes his confidential assis- tant. While no definite decisions were reached at either or the conferences, they were notable contributions to the discussion of the rate question:
 To a representative Of the Associat- ed Press MT. Mellen saio that his own position regarding railroad rate legis- lation was reasonably we'll known. E There is only one man In this dues- tion who is to be considered as an in- dividuaI' said Mir Meiien. and so far as the interests I represent are con cerned, am with him. To my mind there can be no doubt that the people of the country are back of Mir. Roose- welt in his demand chat rate legisla- tion which really means something should be enacted. My belief has been all along that such Legislation ought to be put on the statute books It would be the better not only for the people, but for the railroads.
 Personally, am inclined to the opinion that the pending Hepburn bill is not just what ought to be enacted into law. In principle. perhaps, 1t Is very well, but am satisfied that an OK team could be driven through 1t, at several points,"
 President Mellen returned to the White House at 4 o'clock In the after noon. Meantime, the President had summoned by phone some of his ad- visers. In the conference which fol- lowed, besides the President and MT. Mellen there were Secretary Root, Att torney-General Moody and Chairman Knapp and Commissioner Prouty of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 They discussed very thoroughly the questions which were brought up by Mir Mellen. but no definite decision re- garding them was reached. Previously President Mellen and MT. Byrnes had spent about four hours at the Capitol in consultation with various Senators on the subject of railroad rate legisla- tion.

land, tliberaD. seconded 1t.
 Jos. Chamberlain, rising from the front opposition benches said he was speaking at the request of former Pre- mier Balfour who was temporarily ap- sent. MT. Chamberlain added that he felt sure the premier, Sir Henry Camp ell-Bannermnn, on personal grounds would welcome back the man who for a longer period than any other during the last century had led the delibera- tions of the house
 MT. Chamberlain then paid a tribute to Mir. Aciand's speech and turning im- mediately to the fiscal question he said the government should remember that its majority in the House of Commons, was much greater in proportion than the majority In the country, in fact the opposition had nearly half the country behind them. Mir. Chamberlain said he was pleased to learn that there would be continuity of Great Britain's foreign policy and asked If the govarn- ment could give the house any infor- nation in regard to the Algcciras con- ference. He hoped Great Britain would be able to promote the interests of France because it would be in acord- ance with the wishes of the whole coun try
 Mir. Chamberlain lengthily discussed the proposed changes In the govern ment of the transvaal colony. He de- livered fighting speech. He demand ed that tho government give plain answers regarding the proposed legis- lation for South Africa and Ireland and said that any measure looking to home rule would meet with strenuous opposition. He warned the government that 1t had not heard the last of tariff reform.
 Premier Campbell Zimmerman. who replied, did not, complain of the tone Of Mir. Chamberlain's speech. He said posed to ask would not harrass the government.

T wouldn't have time to canvass my district. Then, again. I have some other business that I could not neglect at this time to make the race. I have had many as- surances of support and, really. these kindly expressions are worth as much to me as the position of congressman itself. I am not unmiudful of all this -I appreciate it, fully and keenly.
 We will talk the matter over two years hence; we'll sec what happens In the interim. But as for this years race. no, sir. The length of time giv- on the candidates Is not sufficient.

On another occasion the King was

who had recognized the King, refused

replied, slnilingly, but, at any rate,

Lincoln the Farmer.

Matters soon reached a crisis which
drove the junior partner out into the
fields again, where he undertook all
sorts Of rough farm labor, from split
ting rails to blowing. AS man-of-
all-work, however, Lincoln did not
prove altogether satisfactory to his
employer. He was too fond Of mount
ing stumps in the field and "practicing
polemics' on the other farm hands,
and there was something uncomfort-
able about a plowman who read as he
followed the team. no matter how
straight his burrows ran. Such prac-
tees We're irritating, if not presump-
tuous, and there is a well-known
story about farmer who found 1.-THE

late farm clothes, with a book instead

PURE AND CHEAPER MILK.

BY the chemical researches Of 4 Cor
nell savant, absolutely pure milk at a
low rate may be within the reach Of
every American. Professor Cavanaugh
has process by which milk may be
purified and steulizcd and reduced to a
powder, from which it may be made into
fluid milk again by the mere addition OF
water. So much may he saved in the
transportation OF the produce and in
the saving OF loss now incurred through
spoiled fluid milk that the powder form
should be reduced one-half in price and
purity may be guaranteed.
The humanitarian value Of the dis.
coyery is great, for pure milk at a
reasonable rate is often beyond the poor
in the big cities. especially in summer,
and thousands of babies die victims to
the impure product.-Ex.
