Sleuth Identifies Telegram
Sent to Haywood,
REQUEST MADE FOR MONEY
Of Witness l. Corrobora-
tiOn of Details of Harry Orchards
story About Movements of Cocoon
spirator-LawyerS in WOrdy Bat
tie Before Evidence Is Admitted.

Boise. Idaho June 15.-Further corrobo-
ration Of the details Of Harry Orchard 6
story was produced to-day. The very
nrst witness of the morning struck a
hard blow for the State. He was City
Detective Pender. Of ogden. who was re-
called from the previous day, when he
was not lowed to tell what the tele-
gram said which he saw Steve Adams
write 10 send 10 William D. Haywood
from ogden in June 1893 To-day the
court allowed this evidence, after a long
and spirited argument between Senator
Borah and Lawyer Richardson.
The witness said that the telegram read
as follows:
"Wllism j. Haywood
Denver Colo.
4 am in trouble Send me SIS at once.
STEVE ADAMS"
Orchard had testified that Haywood had
told him that he had sent Steve Adams
TO kill Fred Bradley in June. 1903; that
Adams failed, and that he went broke on
the way back and got arrested in ogden,
and Haywood had to send him money
to get him back to Denver
Lawyer Richardson fought hard to pre-
vent this telegram from getting TO the
jury. He contended at great length that
it made no difference what the telegram
said: that there was not the slightest
thing about it to connect Haywood with
the particular ofense he was charged
with in the indictment on which he was
being tried. namely, the murder of ex-
! Gov. Steunenberg.
To this, Senator Borah replied that the
! telegram was held by the State TO be a
declaration by one conspirator TO CO.

ATTACKS ON CHURCHES.

ATTACKS ON CHURCHES.
The enemies of the churches who
are trying to impair, II not destroy,
its usefulness imagine they are ben
eftting the communities in which
they live when they expose the few
active religious workers who fall from
grace.
No one denies that church members
sometimes go wrong, but when one
considers the vast number of people
who are allied with the religious or
ganizations he is surprised that the
is not greater.
Hypocrites are found everywhere.
No minister denies that some of them
are affiliated with the churches; no
sect order member denies the charge
that men who lead a dual existence
are enrolled on the lodge books.
But because men who are not
found out join the church and the
lodges IL doesn't necessarily follow
that all religious bodies and secret
orders are TO be condemned.
Few can comprehend the reason
that impels some men to attack the
church as a whole when one member
commits crime.
1t would be just as sensible TO ar
que that all lawyers are rogues be-
cause an attorney in Bereavllle or
Peanut Corners had betrayed his
,lients.
The man who cOntended that every
newspaper was unreliable because
New York produces few that pay
10 attention to facts would be ad-
judged stupid and Lacking in common
iense.

TRAGEDY, FARCE OR COMEDY 4.
This political tempest in the fac
tional teapot, which has been raging
| in Ohio for some days, as to who
shall be chosen to the presidency, in
1908, is the climax of bossism and
itcl for office run mad
Who are stalking up and down the

ing to name the man who Is TO pc
president over eighty millions of
people, after March 5, 1909? George

enough in their way, as bosses, office
holders or office seekers as the case
lmay be. But they are not the peo-
pie; they are not even the Republican
party of Ohio. They are the heads
of several wriggling factions, whose
motto seems TO be: Everything for
office; nothing for principle; nothing
for the public welfare"
What right have these politicians
to set up the claim of political ON
impotence and take the initiative of
naming candidate for the presidency
.of any party? I'D
This Is bossism run mad; a notice
served in advance that The people, so
far as the Republican party is con-

they will be graclously permitted to

This Is a new brand of poliics even

somebody into the swamp Of oblivion.
Prbably it is the forerunner Of the
