Hepburn After Railroads.

Senator Hepburn was one time ac-
cussed of being corporation lawyer
and friend OF the trusts. Thus far
he is the only United States senator
from the west who has done any
thing against the trusts. His pure
food bill, which has passed the Sen
ate, is the worst blow the trusts have
yet received. Monday, when Piles
amendment to the rate bill came up,
Senator Hepburn took issue with Sen
ator Piles.
Addressing himself to the subject
of this amendment, Senator Hepburn
assailed it vigorously. He made the
declaration that trunk line railways
own between 100000 and a.
100000 acres of the best timber lands
in the northwest. If the amendment
were allowed to remain in the bill,
he said, these railroads would mo-
nopolize the entire lumber business
OF that section, driving all the small
firms out.
Piles asked Hepburn what trunk
lines owned such a vast amount of
timber land. Hepburn replied he
could furnish the facts IL 1t should
become necessary.

Messrs. Picard & Roberts, the en-
terprising wholesale and retail meat
dealers, have installed an anhydrous
ammonia cold storge plant at cost
of $25O0.00. This plant is up-to
date in every particular. 1t is much
better than ice, as there Is no mois-
ture and consequently, meats never
mould. This method of cold storage
is recognized as the best that is in
use. The first cost of INSTALL
ing the plant is quite heavy. but Mr..
Picard says the saving in ice will
pay it in two years. The plant is
run by electric power and the tenn
perature of the cold storage rooms
is maintained at "a degrees. The
plant is run six hours q days in

The firm is to be commended for
keeping abreast of the times. About

MCFARLAND INTERVIEWED
ON THE ORCHAD CASES
SAYS THE FAMOUS CONFESSION HAS NEVER BEEN MADE
PUBiIC---hSTORY OF ARRESTS

James Mcfarland, the noted de.
tective was in Salt Lake City this
week, and gave out the following
interview in the Salt Lake Tribune
in regard to the Western Federation
officials:
Il have been accused of kidnap-
ing these men in Denver and of run
ming them out surreptitiously. Let
me make a public statement on that
head. Our agency caused the arrest
of these men in Denver and extra
dited them to Idaho. We had the
proper recquisition papers properly
signed by Gov. Gooding and Gov.
Mcdonald of Colorado could do
nothing else than honor them. 1t
is always the aim of a good officer,
especially If he has had some forty
years experience, to get accused men,
who are extradited, away as quietly
as possible. 1t is not his place of
duty to notify their counsel that they
may get out writ of habeas corpus.
Where Men Were Arrested
Meyer was arrested on February
II as he was about to leave Denver
on Burlington train. He had $3.50
a "A automatic Colts revolver, and
100 rounds of cartridges. Do you.
think he was going on a peaceful
errand, as his friends claim? The
arrest was made at 8 o'clock in the
evening, when hundreds of people
were about the great union depot.
... Haywood was arrested between
and 10 o'clock the same evening
In well-known house of ill-repute.
He was in company with a woman,
and he is the moral man his friends
prate so much about.
"PettiboHe was arrested at his
own home at 10 o'clock the same
night, and all three were taken to
the county Jail.
About IL o'clock that night Mr..
Hawkins, of the legal firm of Patter-
son, Richardson and Hawkins, (Pat- !
terson being United States Senator
from Colorado just now, and also /
proprietor of the Denver News and
Times), who are of counsel for the |
Western Federation of Miners, tele-
phoned to the Jail to learn If it was
true that these men had been arrest
ed. Does not this fact prove that |
their lawyers knew of their arrest? |
Prisoners Taken to Idaho.
On Sunday morning of the 18th of
February-the next day-these men
were placed aboard a special train
at O'Clock, being then and there
delivered to the lawful messengers
OF the State of Idaho, who bore law
fully signed extradition papers.
Many have said, why did we not
wait till O'Clock and send them on
the regular train?' and my answer
Is simply this: Knowing the char

No Confession Of Orchard.
Notwithstanding the fact that
have seen from time to time in rem.
table newspapers and magazines
what purported to be confessions OF
Orchard and Adams, there is nc
truth in such alleged confessions
whatever, and the statement made
to the effect that any person outside
OF the authorities of Idaho has ever
seen these confessions is unqualifi-
eddy false. The papers and maya
zines have been deceived. When the
real evidence is given in court 7
know the civilized world will be as
tonished.
AS the case now stands, it is be-
fore the United States Supreme
court on appeal from both State Su-
preme court of Idaho and the Unit
ed States court there, both appeals
being. on identical points, a writ of
habeas corpus. The United States
statute and the decision of the Su-
preme court on that statute says:
Pending an appeal from a United
States District court to the United
States Supreme court, all action of
State court shall be null and void
Defendants counsel claimed they
were ready for trial, therefore coun-
sci for the State in advance of the
opening of court in Canyon county.
Idaho called the attention of defend
ants counsel to this statute, and ask
ed them to withdraw the appeal TAX
an from the United States District
court, and they W MD lose no rights
oy so doing as the appeals are Iden-
zeal, but they would not. IL they
Fad done this, We should have gone
IN with the trial.
