LOADS OF LUMBER.
Thirty Million Feet of Timber Cut in
 Vermont.

s5 '#r ttFHlOut. 15.42
 Newfane. Vt, May 9-The value to the state of the tree clad slopes of the Green mountains of Vermont, aside from their scenic advantages, is shown by canvass of the lumber mills in Windham county alone, where over 30, ,O0O, ,0O0 feet of timber have been cut during the past win ter, furnishing logs enough to keep all the mills throughout the county busy during the summer. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been circulated in the county as a result of the seasons cut and work has been given to hundreds of men. This years operations have fallen little behind those of previous seasons, largely, it is said, on account of the scarcity of cars for shipment. The West river district operators were particularly affected by the car short age and about 250,000 feet of lum- Der held up on account of alleged inadequate transportation facilities. They have made an appeal to the state railroad commission. A mar row gauge road was built early in the winter through portion of the southern half of Windham county, and as this will be extended this season large tract of virgin forest is expected to be developed. Quan- titles of snow at the right level aided the loggers to a great extent in get ting down their cut.

SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL IS ON
Rumor That One of the Men Has Turned States Evidence History the Case Into Which President Roosevelt Has Been Drawn
 Through Remarks He Made About the Prisoners.

Boise, Idaho. May Civilian D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, to-day is placed on trial for complici- ty in the murder at Caldwell, Idaho, on December 30, 1905, of former Governor Frank Steunenberg. Hay wood is one of the four defendants charged with the murder. The oth- CTS are Charles H. Mover, president of the federation; George A. Petit bone, former member of the execu- tive committee of the federation, and Harry Orchard. The last named is expected to be the most important witness for the state against Hay wood, Mover and Pettibone. He is said to have made confession and it will be the task of the prosecu- tion to endeavor to corroborate this confession wherever possible. The fact that Haywood's case is the first called for trial is regarded as indi- eating that the prosecuting attorney believes their strongest evidence is against the secretary of the fedora tion. The outcome of his case will determine the action to be taken with regard to Mover and Pettibone. Should there be conviction of Hay wood, Mover and Pettibone will be called for trial in the order named. On the other hand, an acquittal of Haywood undoubtedly would mean an abandonment of the cases against the other accused men. Orchard will not be tried until all of the other cases are disposed of.
 It is said that the evidence against him is so strong that he cannot hope for other than convition of murder in the first degree regardless of the verdicts upon the indictments against Haywood, Mover and Pettibone. Or chard, 1t is said, has been promised no degree of clemency whatsoever in giving evidence for the state. Hav- ing admitted his active part in the heinous crime of blowing the former governor of Idaho to pieces with a bomb at the gate of his residence, Or chard unquestionably will have to pay the capital punishment for his confessed crime.
 Caldwell, where the murder was committed, Is the county seat of Can yon county. A change of venue to Boise. the capital city of Idaho, and county seat of Ada county. was granted on the motion of the defense, 1t being alleged that fair trial in Canyon county would be an impos- sIbility. Haywood Mover and Petti- bone was transferred to the county jail here, which comprises the base ment floor of the county court house. The court is known as the district court of the third judical district. The presiding judge is Judge Robert Wood, native of Maine, former practitioner at the bar in this city, and presiding now over hrs first im- portant criminal case. Judge Wood is regarded as q careful. deliberate man. and the prosecution and defense believe that he will leave no stone un- turned to see that equal, even handed justice is done to all. Orchards the

PILE GOING DOWN.
New Men Making Some Headway at
 Freight Station.

Though the platforms at the Naug- atuck station this noon contained less freight than any other day at the same time since the strike start ed, it was stated by one of the men employed there that the amount of freight handled this morning was not at large as the green men have been accustomed to handle. The goods are now being sent out more rapidly, but the number of cars unloaded has not increased any during the past few days.
 The opening of the new freight station is aiding the company con- siderably, and though the five 'cars emptied there this morning would seem rather. small to the strikers, in view of what the new men have been doing, it looks big to them. At the new station there is plenty of room and the freight can be unload cd there much more conveniently than at either of the other houses.
 Many merchants who are under the impression that goods which they sent several days ago have reached their destination need not be sur prised if they are informed that their consignments were held up for a length of time at the local houses.
 The Warren l.. Hall Co shipped a carload of oranges to Norwalk last Friday. but 1t did not arrive in that city until last evening. Yesterday afternoon Mir Hall went to Assistant Superintendent Dunn in regard to the car and the latter made a per sonal investigation for the missing oranges. MT Hall was to shave con ferred with the representative of the road later in the day to see If any arrangement could be made to han dle his goods more quickly, but the meeting did not materialize. At the house to-day 1t was stated that ser vice was fair both as to the goods coming in and the cars going out.
 Another business man who sent out goods on the afternoon of the strike was informed to-day that the stuff did not leave this city last even- ing.
 In the towns up the line which send their goods to this city to be transferred and receive their freight through the houses in this city. the strike is felt just as much as in this city.
 It is evident that the company in- tends to pull along with the men now working and will endeavor to pro- cure no new men unless the mer- chants and factories should make a strenuous kick, and this is not prob able.
 The rapidity with which the strik- CTS receive work is surprising. Two checkers and one freight handler had no trouble finding employment with the Warren L. Hall Co. and the oth- CTS for the most part have positions which are paying them more than they received while handling the freight. Many of the citizens of the town who knew the class of men working at the stations before the strike often wondered why they should labor for such pay, as it seemed as though they could find po- sitions much more profitable. It is only occasionally that a striker is now seen on the street.

CORONER MIX HERE.
Investigating Into Murder of Rocco
 Elamo-Visited Scene of Crime.

Investigating Into Murder of Rocco
 Elamo-Visited Scene of Crime.
 Coroner Eli Mix, who was notified last evening of the arrest of Lorenzo Aquilano, accused of murdering Rocco Elamo, arrived in this city this morning about 9:30, and from that time until 12:30 held an inquest in Superintendent Beach's office at the station. Though the police are con- fident that the prisoner is the man, or at least one of the party, that murdered Elamo. they are not sure they will be able to fasten the crime on him. After the consultation in the chiefs office, during which about a half dozen witnesses were exam ined, Coroner Mix declared that for the present he did not care to give out a statement.
 This afternoon the coroner, his stenographer and Detective Thomas Colesanto went in an automobile to the place where Elamo's body was found The coroner will make a thorough investigation, but expects to leave the city tonight.
 Aquilano and the dead man were good friends and worked schemes to- gether until they had falling out over the money they received from an Italian merchant on East Main street. It was over this $420 they had trouble and from that time they were deadly enemies.
 It was rumored this afternoon that late this morning an eye witness of the murder had turned up, but Sul perintendent Beach declared the story was false.
 Though the police are becoming more convinced every minute that the prisoner is the man they want, it is understood that the evidence on hand is considered somewhat shaky.
 At 8 o'clock the coroner had not returned from scene of murder.

SETTLING STRIKE
Four Hundred Longshoremen of the Savannah Line Have
 Resumed Work
THE LOSS IS ,seoo,oOO

New York, May 9.--The gravity of the longshoresmens' strike grows with the hours. This is principally because the congestion of freight is becoming rapidly greater, the total monetary loss being reckoned thus far at about $600,000, involving busi- ness in many parts of the country. It is also because an element of the strikers seem to be ready to resort to violence as was manifested last night when three hundred Italian and Pol ish strikebreakers were surprised and attacked by several hundred strikers and sympathizers in Williamsburg. and savage fight ensued in which stones, knives and clubs were used and numbers of person were hurt, including ome policemen. Then again, both sides show a fixity of purpose which does not presage an early end of the trouble. The strik- CTS, who now number about 12,000, declare that they will not yield un- less their demands for higher scale of wages are granted, and the steam ship companies are equally insistent that no concessions will be made by them and that they will stand to- gether to resist the mems exactions Meantime Police Commissioner Bing- ham has taken the precaution to keep in reserve at the stations all po- licemen except those on patrol, which is in one sense, mobilization of the 5000 policemen in the city.
 To-day may see another effort tow ard conciliation between the long shoremen and the shipping com panies, but the one attempt. in that direction made by a committee of the Civic federation was failure.
 J. H. Thomas, operating manager of the International Mercantile Ma rine company. speaking for the trans Atlantic lines involved in the strike, said that the heads of all the lines were unanimous in the position that the demands of the strikers were ex- orbitant, that the companies could not afford to meet them and and that the strikers places would be filled with other men at the present scale.
 The strikers are divided into two classes, those opposed to trans-Atlan- tic lines and those opposed to the coastwise lines The former claim allegiance to the Longshoremens' Protective association, and the latter say that they constitute Lolgshore- mems union No IA. Some coastwise lines have come to agreements with their longshoremen.e To emphasize their contention that higher wages are needed because living is higher, the strikers talk of having a parade of their wives and others dependent upon them.
 The Savannah line officials effected settlement to-day with the long shoremen, who went on strike at the docks of that company and 400 men returned to work.

NEW FLYING MACHINE
The Government Engineers and Scientists Are Very Deeply
 Interested.

Washington, D. C., May 9.--Gov- ernment engineers and scientists are deeply interested in the progress of work on new type of flying machine which is being constructed from mod els made by Professor Robert w. Wood, of Johns Hopkins university, of Baltimore, and one or two engi- neers connected with the government service. Within two months, it is said, the machine will be ready for trial.
 Scientists of the Smithsonian insti- tuition and other government experts who have examined the models are enthusiastic in their praise of the ideas which have been applied in the machine by the inventors and they express positive belief that it vii, fly and that it absolutely will be un- der the control of the operator. It is said to differ materially from The Buzzard," the machine con- structed by the late Prof. Samuel P. Langley, secretary of the Smith, sonian Institution, toward which the government contributed about 50,000 of the expenses, in experimentation and construction.
 Little of the details of the con struction of the new machine has been permitted to become public and all of the experiments have been con- ducted secretly. It is known, how ever. that the machine is of the "helicopter style" that is, it is much heavier than air and does not depend upon bag of gas or bal loon for support It is operated through a series of propellers of the screw type. The propellers are ex- pected to enable the machine to as- cend to any desired height and to descend slowly and alight with per feet safety. It is calculated, too, that the machine will have the quality of in the air, something no machine of the kind ever yet has pos sessed. The propellers will be oper- ated by powerful meter weighing several hundred pounds and the ma chine will be steered with special of Professor Wood inven- tion. Through its experts the gov ernment will watch the trials of the machine carefully.
