WHEN ORCHARD
LIED AGAIN

BOISE, July Am the testimony
closing yesterday afternoons SEES
sion Of the Haywood trial the de-
Tense continued its attack on
Orchards alleged confession. Da-
vid Coates, now of Wallace, was l
of the strongest witnesses offered.
Coates Is former lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado and has never
been connected with the Western
Federation of Miners. Orchard ac-
cused Coates of conspiring with him
to kidnap August Paulsen's children
and hold them for ransom.
To this Coates entered an en-
phatic denial. He said he had
heard Orchard make remark
about stealing the children in or
der to make easy money, but paid
no attention to it as he had no idea
the man was in earnest. Later he
told Deputy Beamer and others
that if Orchard had tried to kidnap
the children he would never have
had a chance to kill Steunenberg.
Coates had heard Orchard
threaten to get even with Steunen-
berg for being run out of the dis
trict and losing his interest in the
rich Hercules mine He endeavor-
ed to talk the embittered man out
of the notion. The witness testified
to Orchard borrowing $500 from
Paulsen after planning to kidnap
his children. With this money
Orchard swore he went to Caldwell
and killed Steunenberg. Coates was
publishing paper in Wallace and
has been a newspaper man all his
life.
Other direct denials of Orchard S
story were entered and the defense
has already presented an unbroken
line of contradiction to all the
charges made by the prosecution
through Orchard.

union has evidence, it is claimed,
that, owing to the lack of bolts fur
nished, many angle bars have been
robbed of bolts and used in some
other place.
An instance is cited where one
roadmaster's district was reported,
on March last, as having 1900
broken angle bars in use and no
material to replace them. There are
instances, it is claimed, where rails
have been broken and no rails fur
nished to replace them. It is then
necessary to fasten the broken rail
by drilling holes through it and bolt
ing on angle bars. One exhibit
shows a broken rail with an agile
bar spiked to the ties, but no bolts
through it and no holes drilled
through the rail for bolts.
There is a long chapter on the
subject of rotten ties. One place
shows 16 out Of 10 consecutive ties
unfit for use. Tracks running close
to precipitious bluffs are alleged to
be unprotected by day or night pa
troll.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July I'm
years American railroads killed
1914 persons and injured HAP 9TH
ers, and sustained loss of s19,434,-
095 in 22.3S4 derailments of trains
reported to the interstate commerce
commission. This awful record is,
according to the national union of
railway trackmen, the result of neg
ligence of railroad officers.
The railroads must now meet a
new line of attack. Formal COM
plants, instigated by the union and
signed by Secretary j. I. Sheppard,
have been filed with the board of
railroad commissioners of Kansas
and Missouri.
It is stated the organization in
tends filing complaints against 9TH
er railroads until a general cam
paign is in progress over the whole
country.
The formal complaints name the
Missouri Pacific Co. and declare that
it has not for years employed suf-
ficient men to keep it's tracks in
safe condition; that not enough ma
terial has been furnished with which
to make necessary track repairs.
Railway tracks are divided into
sections of an average length of
about 7 miles, complainant says. and
in order to properly keep tracks in
repair there should he employed or
each section a foreman and from
to - section laborers; also track
walkers.
