MORE EVIDENCE.
STEVE ADAMS coNFEssEs INNER
CIRCLE GRIMES.
C0RR0B0RATING ORCHARD

Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details Of Many Murders-TelIs
Secret Workings Of the Western
Federation.
Boise, Idaho.-The Statesman print,
the following:
THE Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested al
Haines. Oregon, on February Goth, In
connection with the Steunenberg as
sassination, has made full and sweep
ing confession.
This second confession is far moro
important than that made by Harry
by James Mcfarland, the Pinkerton de.
tective last evening, In the presence
of Governor Gooding and J. II. Haw-
ley, who is in charge of the prosecu
tion.
"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
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
lime 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
MS 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. II was voluminous
document, covering greater field anc
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 breas
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 nc
further information given out OIL
limited at respecting this confession.

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 week,
although the exact vote had not been
known.
The senator's 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
Il 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 Brandegee's 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.

IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES.
How They May Be Organized In
Every Town.

The organization of society is sim
pie. A president, secretary and treas
nrer are the necessary officers, and
The committees which are appointed
may be as many Or as lew as are re.
quired, says Harper's Bazaar. 1t is very
desirable to interest tie town officials
and the prominent citizens of the place
and secure their cooperation. The
school teachers should be enlisted and
through them the children may bq
reached. The young people also
should have Il share in making plans
for the town. The dues should be
small, possibly 81 4 year paid in quar-
terly sums. and in some places
promise of two days work year is
also added, one day being given to
home improvements, and the other to
those of a public character.
The most important committee, be.
cause the one whose work is funda-
mental, is that on sanitation. The
members are to investigate the towns
water supply, the public sewers ana
drains, and :he back premises OF
houses. The refuse too often thrown
in rubbish heaps is to be carted away
and destroyed; Il place is to be pro
Nided for ash piles. and one where gar
bage may be carried by a public
official and burned. Those unsightly
spots should be far from the center of
the town and a thick hedge may screen
the place from the highway. In all
public places such us the railroad sta
zion, the village corners, and park had
the schoolhousc yards there should be
neat rubbish boxes placed, painted, not
a burning red, as is TOO often tlc case.

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 Nindicator 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-siS fatali-
ties.
He charged thar Haywood was the
mind which originated and COM
manded the execution of ali the plots.

netted him.
Professor Macey examined the
bombs. said to number twenty-five,
which We're found in Orchards room
and among his effects. Andy John

hearing of Orchard. At this hearing
he was asked by Orchards counsel If

morrow are w. S. Swain of the Thiel
Detective Agency. and Joseph Hutch
inson, who was lieutenant governor

port the indictments not later than
next Monday. Under the law indict-

great number Of Witnesses will be eN-
amined it may take day TO prepare

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public,

The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand In Ameri-
ca became known TO the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the pcssesGor u!
the hand was with some friends in
photographers ere day and while
talking. held up q piece of candy.
The pose Of the hand with it. per-
feet contour and fautless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was beautiful picture kept IN
the family until one day. after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements MI Post
said to lbs wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries o. this kind, that it is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
tisins department have that picture
of your hand 10 prirt and uame it "a
Helping Hand" (EIrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some OF
the most famous advcrtiscrerts)
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity. but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted
The case was presented in the light
OF extending welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nnts,
SO the picture appeared on the back
covers of many of the January and
February magazines aud became
known to millions OF people
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the world
The advertising dept. of the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist TIE
temptation TO enlist The curiosity OF
the public, by refrainins FROM giving
the name of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
.he newspaper announcements. thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
Tor and read the forthcoming adver-
tisements to learn the name OF the
owner 4
This combination of art and conn
merce and the multitude OF inquiries
furnishes an excellent illuatration of
the interest the public takes In the

manufacturers whose names become
household words thrcugh extensive
and continuous announcements in
