Washington, June 20. - Details of

described as the Standard Oil railroad,
to traverse the continent, were an
nounced here yesterday
The plans are regarded as of great
Importance to railroads and shippers
throughout the country, notably those
along the line of the Northwestern
road and it's connections
In interstate commerce circles and
among railway men the details are
noted with interest because the East
ern terminus of the road which is now
| known as the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul, will be Norfolk.
Completed in Two Years.
| The connections for this Standard
Oil road are expected to be completed
| within two years. 1t will extend from
| the Atlantic tideWater at Newport
News, Va, to Seattle and Portland, by
way of Chicago.
| 1t will give the oil monopoly new
handle by which to control railroad re-
| lations 1t will enable the Standard
! group not only to make Oil rates favor
able to their own interests, but will
place in their hands power over rail
road rates in general, which, in con
| nection with their dominating inter
| ests in other railroad systems, will
make the Rockefeller coterie as abso,
| lutely dominant in railroad financial
quarters as they are now in the oil
industry.
Gap to Be Filled.
There is one gap to be filled from
! Toledo or Detroit to Chicago, and it is
said on the authority Of recent dec
| laration of Henry H. Rogers that this
gap will shortly be filled by the pur-
| chase OF a mlnor line that will he odd

The system when completed will
have main line mileage of about

Tells of Finding Goddard Bomb.

Boise, Idaho, June II. = The state
yesterday made dramatic production
and proof of the Goddard bomb, and
besides offering further corrobora-
ton of the testimony Of Harry Or
chard against William d. Haywood,
secured ruling under which num-
Der of denunciatory articles published

of the Western Federation of Miners
will be admitted in evidence.
To Justice Luther M. Goddard him
self fell the task Of telling the story
of the finding and preservation for use
as evidence Of the bomb with which
Orchard tried to kill him.
Adds Another Thrill.
His appearance on the stand added
another to the many dramatic scenes
that have characterized the trial, and
his testimony was clear and minutely
circumstantial. The veteran Colorado
jurist testified that the first informa-
ton that he received about the bomb
came to him from Orchards confess
sion, which was shown to him at Den
yer on Feb. IS, 1906, by Detective Nc
Parland. He at once returned to his
home and in his gate discovered the
screw eyes which Orchard said he
placed there.
Bomb Is Preserved.
The bomb was dug up the next day
by Gen. Bulkely Wells, and with its
attachment was taken to the Office of
the Pinkerton detective agency and
carefully sealed in wrappers and en-
velopes that were signed by half a
dozen witnesses, including Justice

deceive Mrs CEchafJ. the second, of
Cripple CtstE., It's TO the whereabouts
of her husband.
Letters Falsely Dated.
Over a variety of protests from the
defense Orchard was allowed to testi-
fly that early in the summer of 1865
Haywood told him that Mrs. Orchard
was writing hin. for information as to
Orchards whereabouts. Orchard swore
that he proposed that he should write
his wife a series of letters that were
to be falsely dated and delivered to
Mrs. Orchard by agents of the fedora
ton.
The letters written by Orchard were
commonplace and contained practical
ly nothing bearing on the case or Or
chards testimony, except references
to the arrangement which Orchard
says he made with the federation Of
ficials for the care of his wife while
he was absent.
To Show Conspiracy.
The state developed it's contention
that, as tending to show conspiracy
and knowledge Of the Steunenberg
crime, Orchard was, without any re-
quest from him, furnished with coun-
sci within few days after mis- arrest.
The defense examined Orchard on
this subject and largely devoted itself
to showing that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners always provided counsel
for its members wherever and when
ever they got into trouble.
To combat the theory that Orchard
killed Steunenberg in revenge for his
loss Of
