After the debate had preceded for
about four hours Mr. McCumber said
that 1t had become apparent to him
that the senate did not at this time
desire to provide for the sale of tho
coal lands. He. therefore. moved that
the committee amendment be laid on
the table. The motion prevailed by
the following vote:

The effect Of the vote was to lay 0u

amendment but the Lafolette amend
ment ana all other amendments sug-

following was substituted for The

Steve Adams Confession Lays Bare More

grand jury at Caldwell. this morning,
Harry Orchard completed his testi
mony in the Steunenberg murder case.
1t is said he went into great detail
about the entire matter, telling the
jurymen what induced him to under
take the crime, how much he was
paid, etc. He was brought back to the
renitentiary here.
During the afternoon a number of
witnesses We're before the grand jury.
one was Captain w. S. Swain of the
Thiel agency of Spokane, who was on
the ground early and has been in the
employ of the state ever since.
Joseph H. Hutchinson, former lieu
tenant governor, was also before the
jury. 1t was he who first formulated
a theory of the nature of the bomb
used, and he found a piece of the
tishlne used in firing the internal ma
chine. Later he assisted in the search
of Orchards belongings, discovering
many powders and other substances
which it Is thought were used in the
manufacture of the bomb. His theory
Of the bomb was correct as shown by
Orchards confession. The jury may
take some additional testimony tomor-
row but it is not expected that any In
Gictment will be returned Entil some
time next week

Boise, Idaho. Mar. 2.-The States
man will say in the morning:
The Statesman is authorized to
announce that Steve Adams. arrested
az Haines, Oregon, on February 90. in
connection with the Steunenberg ass
sassination, has made a full and
sweeping confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This is the statement mads
by James MCFARLAND. the famous
detective, last evening in the epresence
of Governor Gooding and j. II. Haw-
ey,. who is in charge of the prosecu-
ton.
''Mr. MCFARLAND added that Ad-
ans confession fully and exactly cor
roborated that made by Orchard at
every point touched on by both.
Moreover, MCFARLAND continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
ings of the innef circle than Orchard
did and was able to give a mass Of
detailed information that Orchards
confession did mot cover The confess
sion of Adams, he said. corroborateN
that given by Orchard on every sub
stantial point connected with the as
sassination of Governor Steuenberg
Adams, however was not at Caldwell
at the time of the assassination, nor
was Orchard at the time of the unsuc-
cessful effort in November. The man
who assisted Orchard on that latter
occasion as set forth in Orchards con-
fession was Jack Simpkins.
still. another statement made by
the detective was that the Adams con.
fession gave details of large numbei
of murders that were not referred tC
in any manner by Orchard. 1t wa,
further stated that the confession hat
