an appropriation by the super

chimes, the following statement of facts
is necessary. The fire destroyed most
OF the machines purchased in 1904 and
1905. In May, 1905, a contract was
made with the company to rent for

$60.000) should be provided In the ap-
propriations Of 1907-0s. Before the No

had been large enough to hold the
various tickets nominated. A machine

1905, In Sacramento. Los Angeles and
San Jose, where machines had been
purchased, they could not be used be-
cause more than seven tickets were
presented Those cities were compelled
to use ballots.
In San Francisco eight tickets were
filed, and but for the supreme court
decision that one ticket was not law
fully fled, machines could not have
been used and as the arrangements
were all made for machines, a
change to ballots could not have
been made so as to have complied with
the requirements Of law at that late
date.
The precincts, polling places and
election officers, forms OF blanks, re-
turns. ETC., are different for election BY
ballot and the department OF elections
must prepare definitely for one method
or the other at a time prior to the
election, which will admit of all ar
rangements being perfected In other

 The employees no sooner had returned to their duties than a fresh alarm was sounded This time the bulldog was seen mounting the platform. The animal leaped from platform to track and from track to platform, employees following and hurdling the live third rall with the utmost aban- don.
 At last the tralnmen gave up the pur- suit and telephoned to the police of the town hall station. The dog, left to him self, climbed back to the platform and trotted to the extreme end north. where he sat down and contemplated the possi- bllities of the situation. Finally he arose and carefully clambered around the end of the platform railing and gained a ledge, on which he paused 10 regard the distance to the ground below.
 At this moment the gong of the police patrol sounded in the distance and then charged nearer and nearer. The bulldog looked in the direction of the approaching blue wagon and kept his eye on it until it slowed down and blue uniformed men be- gan to slip out. Then gathering his legs the dog took one look below and dived head first from the structure.
 The police arrived just in time to pick up quiverlng little body that soon strengthened out in death. trainman said he thought the animal was mad. but a police surgeon made an examination and said there was no evidence of rabies.
 "It's just a plain suicide. he said. and suicide it stands in the report that went 10 headquarters.

 Whether it was because he had been disappointed in ambition, or merely lcft behind by a careless master is not known, but he "a bulldogs after many attempts in killing himself by leaprg from the Northwestern Elevated railway structure at Wilson avenue. In a human being it would have been called suicide.
 Sunday afternoons the Wilson avenue terminus is lively enough place, out in the half hour that this dog was trying to carry out his design the neighborhood ran highwlth excitement, passengers for got their cars and the elevated service temporarily went out of commission.
 The dog, a brindle bull, with one tooth missing, first was noticed at o'cloc.< outside the new entrance to the surface platform of the terminal loop. He was walking back and forth, stopping only to scan every passenger who entered. F.n- ally he himself walked in and for some minutes sat on his launches. gazing cll- riously at the girl behind the wcket of the turnstile. Then he started forward and with one eye furtlvely fixed on the ticket girl, trotted silently through the turnstlle on to the platform
 A few minutes later a shout went up and railway hands began running from all directions toward the surface plat form squarely on to the deadly third rail between the tracks. ut, though badly

but I do know that the senator calls Orchard Harry
 Now, why did Orcnard at the time attempt suicide after he had con fessed to Pinkerton Detective MePart- land? He says he confessed to clear his conscience and to make his peace with God Why then, after such a confession, should he have attempted to take his own life? There was no reason for it.
 Self Condemned.
 But, gentlemen of the jury and Mr. Richardson's voice, which had grown extremely husky, from his long discourse, took on the tone of wither- ing scorn as he crouched on pended knee and paced up and down before the twelve men, ever shaking the in- dex finger of his right hand at them, If Harry Orchard was in a scheme at the instigation of the Pinkertons or anybody else, to swear away the lifeNof innocent men, if he were part and parcel of such a conspiracy-well might his conscience have said to him, out of your mouth you have condemn ed innocent men. and that this burden shall weigh heavily on your soul, well would this worthless creature have attempted his life. There IS no other explanation for it."
 continuing his scathing denuncia- tion of Orchard, dropping the subject for time to a new attack upon some other line of argument, but returning ever to a new attack upon the confess ing witness, Richardson declared that none but this accused criminal had been brought to court to defame the name of Haywood--a man who had always led an exemplary life and had always been an exemplary citizen, proud of his family, proud of his name car ing for the invalid wife, who sat at his side during the trial.

 Do you paint?" I asked, going toward the easel, disgusting my surprise at meet Ing with such disregard of Mussulman customs in this orthodox household.
 No, not painting, just playing. It is only an impression, not reproduction of one of Allah's realities" Good Mus sulmans do not believe In "reproducins Allahs realities;" yet there stood on the easel a charming pastel. Even orthodox Moslems I saw were not above beating the devil round the stump.

 Rather reluctantly, though wishing 10 comply with her guests desires, she brought out a large portfolio, containing several pastels and water eolors, and we sat down on a rug to examine them.

The curious part was that, whenever she painted any outdoor life, she painted it from her window, and on the canvas first was the window and then through it you saw the landscape as she saw It.

 Dirty Linen to Wash.
 MT. Richardson said that while every state was expected to take care of the crimes committed within its borders, Col orado had sent "an ocean of dler dirty linen here for you gentlemen to wash.'
 Coming again in the course of his ar gument to the death of Governor Steunen- berg, Haywood's counsel said that the defense was ready and willing to admit that Orchard committed the deed exactly as Orchard described 1t.
 MT. Richardson declared that Cover nod Steunenbergs immense stature and the freedom with which he went about the country, made him a shining mark for assassination.
 "He could have been shot by anybody able to hit the side of a barn door," as serted MT. Richardson, land Orchar himself tells you that Steunenberg each week took long drives to the sheep camps across the plains where he could be seen as a mark for rifle ball for miles, There was not week of his life that he could not have been safely killed, mad l1ltTt DeT q ueSlIe lllS ldhlll6 Oil III anything but a spectacular manner. I say to you that Orchard had a mania for crime and for committing crime in a way that would be sure to attract at tention.'
 Finger of Suspicion.
 MT. Richardson said the when Orchard came to Idaho to kill Governor Steunen. berg he seemed to so order his movements that the finger of suspicion would con- stantly point to him. After stalking the governor for several days, he apparently abandoned the mission which he says he was sent ont "Did he have cold feet? No. There Is no claim here that Orchard has feeling of any sort. He sat here and told his story remorselessly. without a word of compassion for any of his victims. I tell you there was working in that maniacal mtnd the proposition of glutting his desire with the killing of Steunenberg. But he wavered and went away to Portland only to return later and accomplish his pur- pose. The fires were famed into bright CT flame"
 Richardson here took up the connection of Jack Simpkins with Harry Orchard.

Young Man Killed By Cars.

Clyde Gunnell, a young man employed as a switchman in the Alabama Great Southern railroad yards met with hor- rible death this afternoon amout 3 o'clock by being mashed between two freight cars. He was making coupling when the cars came together and before he could get out of the way he was caught and his life crushed out.
 MT. Gunnels was a young man about twenty-two years old and had a great many friends in this city. Some delay was occasioned in getting the body to an undertaking establishment. As soon es the accident occurred, Kennedy Bros. re-
 ceived telephone message for an ambu- lance and immediately sent the one that they use for the conveyance of dead peo- pie. Some persons at the yard refused to allow the -body to be taken in that one, and MT. William T. Kennedy, one of the firm, offered to have 1t sent up to the undertaking parlors in a carriage or any other way that they wanted but sad $ that the other ambulance was never used for the conveyance of dead persons.
