ORCHARDS STORY
 AGAIN DENIED Miners Say That States Witness Said He Hated and Would Kill
 Stuenenburg. DEFENSE USES
 E. L. McPARTLAND Brother of States Detective Tells How He Was Ia ken By Militia and
 Deported.

Boise, July Max Malich, Joe Me- helich and Billy" Aikman, three of the men variously implicated in ale- ged misconduct at Globeville, Denver and Cripple Creek, on the word of Har- ry Orchard, went on the stand to-day as witness for William D. Haywood and denied Orchards testimony. Ma lich swore that Orchard, and not he, suggested the inhuman plot of dyna- hitting a boarding house full of non union smeltermen at Globeville, and that Orchard originated the idea of killing William McDonald, one of Ma lich's business rivals. He said that he had been burned by some mysterious acid thrown into his house, but de- nied that this acid was really Petit bone dope" that had been left in his room by Steve and Annie Adams. He also denied that "Pettibone dope" had been used in burning his store and tes- tifled that he was at his ranch when the fire occurred He also swore that orchard had told him that but for Gov. Steunenberg, he would be rich and that he intended to kill Steunenberg. Me helich and Aikman also put in denials of all the things Orchard swore they did with him. The cross examination of all three witnesses showed a pur- pose on the part of the state to deal further with this testimony when the rebuttal testimony is reached. Orchard will be asked to give his version of the alleged use of 1Pettibone dope" in burning Malich's store at Globeville.
 Another unusual feature was contri- buted to this unusual crime with its background of plots and counter plots criminal industrial and political, by the appearance as a witness for the defense of F. L. Mcfarland, broth CT of Detective James Mcfarland whc worked up the case against Haywood Mover and Pettibone and obtained Or chard's confession. This Mcfarland Is a shoemaker at Manitou He testified that while he was following his peace full craft at Victor during the strike he was unceremoniously taken from his last by the militia, thrust into the ''bull pen and then deported.

Hearlnr on shore Llne Road.

The state railroad commissioners gave hearing in their office in the capitol, yesterday, on the application of the Shore Line Electric railroad for the approval of the method of, apply motive power for their proposed trolley line in Old Saybrook to Fenwlck and to Essex. The hearing was the first of it's kind ever held before the com missioners. It dealt with the single phase system and not the double sys- tenn now in use by all Connecticut companies. Attorney E. ". Sperry of New Haven, appeared for the com pany and he outlined the system, say ing that the system was used exten- sively and successfully in the western states. The system transforms power in the car and does away with the various transforming stations which are now necessary on the double sys- tenn. The commissioners reserved de- cision.

ANY OLD STAMPS WILL DO.
With Ten Cents Worth You Can Now

With Ten Cents Worth You Can Now
 send 2 special Delivery.
 In accordance with the terms of d law passed at the last session of con gress, special delivery matter may now be sent through the mails without the use of special delivery" stamps. An order has been Issued permitting persons who desire to send the mail by special delivery to attach, in addi- tion to the regular postage of two cents, stamps to the amount of 10 cents, instead of attaching a special delivery" stamp to letter of pack agc.
 This privilege is expected to prove of great convenience to the public, as complaint has been quite general dur ing the past few years of the inabil- ity of people to get special delivery stamps when they needed them.
 This new rule may also have it's disadvantages, particularly for the postal clerks, as they will have to keep on the alert all the time to see that the correct value in stamps is attached, besides tho regular post age. All kinds of combinations may be used in making up the ten cents 1 worth, and this Is expected to be much more bothersome to the clerks than the old system of attaching a | stamp of special design and which is used for special delivery alone.

 Trousers.

Sebastiano Marcheteo, a resident of 120 Liberty street, was the victom of slight Fourth of July shooting acci- dent last evening. The accident hap pened in a very peculiar way.

WOULD NOT THINK ITUNFRIENDLY ACT Opinion of Japanese Ambas- sador of Increase of U. s.
 Naval Force on
 Pacific. WOULD NOT LOOK UPON IT AS MENACE Recalls Practice of Nations Sending Fleets Into
 Waters of Other
 Powers.

Washington, July 2.-"No, Japan would not regard it as an unfriendly act if the American government saw fit to increase her naval representa- ton in her territorial water on the Pacific coast or even if she sent addi- tional men of war to the Asiatic sta tion She would not look upon 1t as a menace or regard it with regret.
 These were the words of Viscount Aoki the Japanese ambassador to the United States when his attention was called to-day to published reports that the beneral board of the navy had re- commended to the president that the battleships of the American fleet be sent around to the Pacific coast. At the same time the ambassador express sed great deal of interest in the stor- ies printed and asked if they were true. He disliked, he said, to appear in the public press when there was no oc- casion for it but he felt at perfect li- berty to say what he did on this sub- jec;.
 The ambassador recalled that 1t is lllb CuSlpll ana pTdCllte Ul HhllpHS " send vessels of their fleets in the wa ters of others nations and instanced the fact that very recently severat Japanese warshlps had visited Ameri- can waters at the Jamestown exposi- tion.
 For the moment the embassy officials are not contemplating any action in the matter of the denial of the intelli- gence office privileges to the Japanese at San Francisco. Mr. Aoki reiterated to-day that that question can be taken up in the courts by the persons affect cd by the police boards decision and If the decision of the judges is such as | to leave room to believe that the treaty rights of the Japanese have been de- nied them the embassy will take the matter up with the state department. ! The question for the time being is one for the courts, he added. Mir. Aokl said that the Nichl Nichi the Japan | csc newspaper which has been making some adverse comment on the intelli- /, gence office cases does not represent the governments attitude on the ques- tion and that some of it's observations ! were not just.

cIIyggEF yggE LAWRENCE WRECKED
RAN ONTO ISLAND
Freight Being Removed and Vessel May be Floated
 To-day.

New London, July 2,-Wreckers are now at work removing the freight from the steamer City of Lawrence which was wrecked to-day, and this will prob- ably not be completed before morning. The wreck occurred in a heavy fog.
 The steamer ran onto Black Rock, a small island about an eighth of mile off Eastern Point, and stove @ big hole in her bow. Water poured in and the hold of the vessel filled, but her posi- tion on the rock was such that she could not sink, and this afternoon tugs were put to work at her in the hope of getting her off the rocks.
 The City of Lawrence recently took the place of the Block Island in making daily trips between this place and Block Island, and to-day carried hun dreds of excursionists, big party com ing from Springfield.
 When the steamer struck the rock she was running at moderate rate and came to a stop instantly. The passengers were somewhat frightened at first, but there was no semblance of a panic the officers of the boat assur- ing them that the boat was safe. Word was sent to New London for assistance, but it was several hours before tugs reached the scene, most of the tugs of the two local shipping companies being otherwise engaged.
 After short wait the passengers were taken in the steamers boats to Eastern Point, There was no diff culty in removing them, as the water was smooth, Captain Phelps remained on the steamer with his crew and this afternoon directed the work of saving the steamer.
 The forward compartment of the steamer is filled with water, but 1t is believed that there will be little trouble in getting her off Many of the pas sengers on the City of Lawrence, it was learned later, were taken off by the steamer Grfswold. The City of Lawrence is one of the oldest steamers in these parts, having been built in 1867 in Wilmington, Del She has a gross tonnage of 1,67S and her length is 243 feet.

GRPHANAGE WANTS MORE
INCREASE IN BOARD
St. Francis Asylum Raises Price to Fairfield Coun-
 ty People,

St. Francis orphan asylum in New Haven has notified the Fairfield county commissioners that the special rate of S50 per child per week, which Fair field county has been paying for ne- glected children committed to the coun- ty home and transferred to the asylum, is too low and will have to be raised to $2. This will probably mean that few children will be sent to St. Francis orphanage in the immediate future, as the county home is not full and the commissioners feel that indigent chil- dren should be taken care of at the home If possible.
 Many times, because of the fact that children had been brought up in the Roman Catholic faith and priests or friends requested that they be trans ferred to St Francis home, the chill dren were sent there. The rate was low enough not to be burdensotne and the conditions are good Many times friends promised to pay for the chil- dren's support, but only in rare cases have the Fairfield commissioners ever received anything. Money given the children or the St. Francis authorities has not been credited to the county bu to the friends giving 1t, thus failing tC relieve the county of the expense ir any way.
 Until the county home Is full it is ex tromely probable that no more trans fer will be made by the Fairfield com nissioners to the New Haven orphan age. Already Fairfield county has nor, children at St, Francis asylum thar any other county, and almost as many as all the other counties combined This led to the special rate and should be given consideration by the asylum authorities before they take any decid ed action of tha increase
