CORROBORATING ORCHARD

Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details Of Many Murders-TeIIs
Secret Workings Of the Western

Boise, Idaho.-The Statesman prints
the following:
THE Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested al

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

tective last evening, in the presence
of Governor Gooding and ]. II. Haw-
ley, who is in charge of the prosecu'

"Mr. Mcfarland added that Adams

point touched on by both.
Moreover. Mcfarland continued
ings of the inner 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,
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confess
sion gave the details of a large mum.
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 a voluminous
document. covering n 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

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills.

Brought to the very verge of starva-
tion by the rejection of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
coyery of Mrs. j. A. Wyatt, of No. 1883
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an Independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: Il had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitatioA and
shortness of breath SO that could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and l was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced the
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then tried a second doctor with
ont benefit. BY this time 1 had become
very weak could not keep the most
delicate broth on my stomach, and at

DEFENDS RATE BILL.
Its Success Predicted by Senator Dol.
liver of Iowa.

Washington. A large audience
greeted Mr.. Dolliyer from the Senate
galleries when he rose to speak On
the Hepburn bill.
The senator outlined the bill, point
ing out wherein ii amends the existing
interstate law, saying that. after all,
the changes were comparatively few.
Instead of undermining the law the
bill fortifies it," he said. and he de-
clared that If the present law had been
treated with the reverence and sane
tity il deserved the American people
would have approached the subject in
a frame of mind different from that
which now prevails.
He said that the railroad companies
were unable to protect themselves
against the "flagrant abuses" of the
private car companies under section
of the present law. He had not IA
vored the abolition of these cars but
he did believe that the car companies
should be regulated by making respon-
sible the railroad companies employing
them.
Speaking of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. he discussed Judge
Grosscup's recommendation for spe-
cific court. but he did not accept the
theory advanced for the reason that
he considered the present machinery
sufficient for all purposes. He recog-
nized the fact that 1t had become fash
ionable to speak slightingly of the In
terstate commission and defended the
body against such attacks.
Mr.. Dolliver declared he did not ex-
pect a protracted vendetta between the
railroads and the business community,
believing that when the law was en-
acted it would be observed by carrier
and shipper alike.
He predicted that within five years
there would be boards of arbitration IN
every traffic center of the country, so
that appeals to the commission would
be the rule rather than the exception.
He recognized the fact that the ques-
tion of appeals to the court from the
orders of the commission was the bat
tleground and he declared that as the
bill stands it leaves the door to the
court. open for the protection of all
constitutional rights.

SUGAR BEET VICTORY.
Philippine Tariff Bill Killed by Senate
Committee.

committee.
Washington.-By vote of eight to
hve Friday the Senate committee on
the Philippines defeated the Payne
bill. which had passed the House by a
vote Of 25s to IL
The action of the committee had
been foreshadowed for nearly 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
chance to consider it.
Mr.. Brandegee moved to table the
motion and this was carried by vote
of to 6, Mr.. Nixon voting with the
minority on this proposition.
This action effectually disposes of
the measure, unless the chairman
should appeal to the Senate by reso-
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.

QUICK JUSTICE.

A terrible scene was enacted within
a few miles of Cairo yesterday, as told
in the dispatches elsewhere in this
paper A brutal wretch who had as.
saulted a young white woman, was
tried. convicted and executed in less
than an hour at Mayfield, and then his
body was taken from the coffin in
which it had been placed by the Off
GERS of the Iw and dragged through
The streets at the end or rope. to
the loud baring of brass band.
The officers, especially the Paducah
officers, who prevented the mob from
carrying out its purpose TO take the
prisoner from jail nlc execute him,
deserve much praise, and II would
have, been well if the aayflald officers
could have prevented the sickening
scene of yesterday--not because of
any consideration for the carcas Of the
dead negro, for l. deserved none-but
because of the brutaiZing effect which
such scenes have upon the men who
take part in tn I'm and upon the entire
community.
The ends of justice were gained by
the speedy death OF the negro. What
followed them certainly could do him
nc harm-it could affect only the iiy'
ing; and to them it courd do only
harm
