ACCEPTED THE
FEDERAL OFFER
Assistant United States Dis.
trict Attorney Townsend
Takes Important Case.
Special to The Evening Times.

Fargo, n. D., June 5.-Assistant U.
S. District Attorney B. D. Townsend
stated yesterday that he had decided
to accept the proposition of the de-
partment of justice of the federal gov
ernment to become associated with
the investigation of the Southern, Pa
cific railroad in connection with the
question of certain lands held by the
railroad company in Oregon under
grants to railroad companies which
have been absorbed by the Southern
Pacific.
Mr.. Townsend will leave for Port
land, Ore, in few days to prepare
papers for a suit against the railroad
company. The advisability of accept
ing this flattering offer of the U. S.
department of justice was carefully
considered by Mr.. Townsend, as he
was engaged in important litigation IN
this state and there were strong In
ducements to remain here. His friends
heartily congratulate him upon the
splendid opportunity open to him and
feel assured that he will fully succeed
in the very responsible task assigned
to him.

ABANDONMENT OF 500.
Reasons Why 500 Stopped Work OF
Its Duluth Extension.


Its Duluth Extension.
Associated Press to The Evening Times.
st. Paul. Mimi, June 5.-The fol-
lowing story is told in explanation of
the action of the 500 in suspending
work on its Duluth extension:
"The Northern Pacific has line
running from Little Falls. Mimi. to
Morris, Mimi, and it is understood
has offered to sell this branch to the
500 at a very reasonable figure, on
condition that the Duluth extension
work be abandoned. and included in
the terms of the agreement is a con-
tract for the handling of 500 business
to the head of the lakes. The branch
in question crosses the main line at
the 500 at Glenwood. Mimi. and the
500 business could be transferred
readily at Glenwood and turned to
the Northern Pacific at Little Falls,
giving almost direct haul to the
head of the lakes. Glenwood Is only
a few miles north of the point where
the extension of the 500 to Duluth
was to leave the main line"
There has been no official announce
ment that action in this direction will
be taken, but the fact that the 500
road apparently have decided to aban-
don work on the Duluth extension,
temporarily at least, lends color to the
story. 1t is possible the work Is mere
ly being suspended while considera-
ton is being given any proposition the
Northern Pacific may have to offer, or
is yet to offer, and If no satisfactory
agreement can be reached, work on
the extension will be taken up again.
The Morris extension of the Northern
Pacific is said to be of no material
benefit to the road because virtually
the same territory is taken by the
Great Northern.

Boise, Idaho, June 5.--The first wit
ness called today in the Haywood
case was ]. NJ. Brunsell, hotel pro-
prietor of Nampa, Idaho. Brunsell
identified the names OF Thomas Ho-
gan and John l.. Simpkins in his ho-
tel register for November, 1905. Ho-
gan or Orchard, was at the hotel with
Sihpkins on November 49, The pres
ence of Simpkins at Nampa ON Novenl-
ber q; and at Silver City on November
8, 1905, was established by A. Hinkey
and ]. A. Connors, hotel keepers in
these respective cities. Following
Hinkey and Connors on the stand
came C. H. Wentz, bookkeerer of
mining company at Walker, Idaho, and
identified the hand writing and a
fered and accepted in evidence over
Orchard. the self-confessed murderer
of former Governor Steunenberg, was
called to the stand as witness at
the court. room in company Of Jailer
j. H. Hawley at once commenced the
direct examination. Orchard said that
he had been held on the charge of
murder since January l., 1906. He
said he was born in Ontario. He had
been known as Orchard for eleven
years. His real name was Alfred
Hansley. AS the examination pro-
ceeded, Orchard became steadier and
his voice increased in volume. He
was we'll groOmed and wore gray
stripped suit. Orchard testified that
he became member OF the Western
Federation of Miners in 1899, while at
work as mucker at mine in Burke.
Haywood kept his eyes steadily
fixed upon Orchard, who kept his gaze
to the front. Haywood evidently tried
to get Orchards eye but except for
an occasional glance, Orchard did not
look toward Haywood. Attorney Haw-
ley took Orchard through close ex-
animation taking up the Couer de
Lane mining troubles in 1899. He
located him at Gem, Wallace and
Wardner. 1t was at Wardner where
the first trouble occurred. The de-
fense objected to the introduction of
any evidence bearing on the Couer de
Lane trouble as having no bearing on
the case against Haywood.
Judge Wood admitted the testimony
and said: "The court could easily
see it might be important" This APP
pears to settle the question as to the
extent to which Orchards testimony
will be admitted. Orchard proceeded
in his narrative form to tell the story
of the blowing up of the concentrator
at Wardner in April, 1899, in which
two men were killed. the defense OBJ
jecting continually. Orchard testified
that he lighted one of the fuses that
blew up the concentrator mill at
Wardner and that two men were
killed.

are still in progress, however, anh the
Russian authorities have not aban-
doned hope of an eleventh hour agree
ment that will enable the question to
be disposed of before the conference,
amicably and without bitterness.
In its plans for the conference, the
Russian government lays chief weight
on the development of the scope and
machinery of the Hague tribunal and
the international commissions of in
vestigation established by the first con-
ference. Its first efforts have been
directed towards opening the doors of
the Hague convention to non-signatory
powers. These efforts have already
been crowned with success and. one
after another. the republics of Central
and South America have signified
their adherance to its provision for
the peaceful settlement of internation-
la disputes. 1t now remains to en-
large the authority of the tribunal and
to remedy certain defects, such as the
absence of provision for an official
language, which have been brought out
during cases before the tribunal.
The increasing number of cases re-
ferred to the Hague for settlement is
ample reason, in Russian official eyes,
for wide enlargement of the func-
tions Of Hague peace processes.
Russia also regards 1t as highly de-
sirable that the questions of maritime
war and of the rights and obligations
of neutrals. now so important after
the Russo-Japanese war, should be
systemized. The Russian program
provides for the discussion of the prin-
cipal problems that arose during the
recent war. On these the Russian
naval and legal experts have prepared
drafts of articles, but, realizing the
superior interests of other powers and
feeling that these questions may not
be OF vital importance to her for years
to come, Russia Is anxious that the
marine powers par excellence should
participate heartily and with good will
in this labor and that England and ia
pan should not persist in their atti-
tude of reserve toward the discus
sion.

PARLIAMENT
KILLS IRISH BILL
Government Will Introduce
Evicted Tenants Restora-
tion Bill.
Annotated Press Cable to The Evening

Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
London, June 5.-The Irish bill was
formally dropped by the government
this afternoon, with scant ceremony
and only the most perfunctory signs
of mourning, even on the part of its
ministerial sponsors.
The house of commons was we'll
filled when Premier Campbell-Banner-
man rose to make his promised state
ment on the cabinets views regard
ing what measures, it was necessary
to eliminate from the governments
overweighted legislative program SO
that the present session might be
brought to a close in the usual time.
II believe" said the premier, "that
the Irish people would have done we'll
to have given the details OF the meas
ure greater attention than appears
to have been the case at the recent
convention. But. in view of the an
nouncemtnt of the leader of the Irish
party in the house of commons that
he would abide by the decision Of the
convention. and in view of the unani-
nous decision of the convention to re-
ject the bill, the government cannot
go any further with it.
The premier added that the decis-
ion of the representatives of the Irish
people was source of sincere regret
and disappointment to the ministers,
but now that the Irish bill was
dropped. the government intended to
introduce, during the present session,
an "evicted tenants restoration BILL"
with power of compulsory purchase.
AS the cabinet had decided against
an autumn session, the premier. con-
tinued, it was necessary to drop the
licensing bill. This, however, would
be the very first measure to be taken
up at the next session.
The measure designed to relieve the
passive resisters" from buying edu-
cation rates for religious instruction,
the premier further announced, also
would be crowded out. but the gov
eminent was determined to introduce
at the next session a comprehensive
educational bill, putting the whole ed
ucaticn system of the country in
ORDER
Regarding the long promised at
tempt to restrict the power of the
house of lords, the premier said that
so soon as they had made a little
further progress in the essential bus
mess of the session, he proposed to in
troduce a resolution on the subject,
either June II or June "a, when the
government would fully state its views
on the matter.
The premier then announced the
abandonment of number of measures
of domestic interest and enumerated
those which it was intended to pass,
concluding by saying:
When l say pass mean pass
the house Of commons as | cannot
forecast what will be the action of
the house of lords"

GREATEST MISERY

Special to The Evening Tines.

Spectal 10 The Evening Times.
Valley City, N. D.. June 5.-The
second day of the meeting of the
North Dakota civic league and the
state municipal league opened with
bigger attendance. The program to-
day was very interesting one, In
cluding addresses by Mayor Green
leaf of Minot, Mayor Smythe of Bis
marck, Hon. John Burke, governor of
North Dakota and Hon. s. F. Crabbe,
of Fargo. This evening a public re-
ception will be given.
The convention opened yesterday
afternoon. Dr.. Gillette of the Valley
City normal reading the first paper.
"The Significance of Cities in Modern
Life" was the subject discussed.
DR.. Gillette showed that the tendan-
cy of modern civilization is to con-
gregate men in cities. Two great
causes contribute to this, the intro
duction of labor saving machinery in
farming and the chemical production
of food which deprives the farmer of
an occupation. 1t is thought by many
students that cities of 20,OO0,0O0 peo-
pie is a possibility of the future with
lue pOSSlulillleS ludI SillCdSO anu New
York will reach 40.000,000.
The cities of the future will be the
home of the race; they must be built
along scientific and sanitary lines-lt
is possible to have a city healthier
than the country, as witness st. Paul
with death rate OF 5 per cent less
than the average rural death of the
country. Minneapolis with per cent
less and Chicago with per cent less.
Cities must be beautiful and made
healthy and orderly.
The city is the cradle of the advanc-
ed ideas of the age; here are worked
out the problems OF the age in science,
education. government. sociology. re-
ligion. philanthropy and industry. The
city of the future will be the guide OF
the race.

Senator Hansbrougll.

The principal address of the even
ing was made by Senator Hansbrough,
who spoke in part as follows:
We Americans may justly boast of
the greatness of our country and the
superiority of our institutions. None
can be found who will take issue with
us in this regard. Our national pride
leads us. therefore, to praise ourselves
in other particulars. We have the best
climate, the richest lands, the hand
cities; We have the longest railroads,
the highest mountains. the most beau
tiful valleys: raise the best and the
greatest quantity of grain; our man
ufacturies are superior to all others.
All this is true. We know 1.-THE
world knows it. Is it any wonder,
then, that through our municipal
league We should find ourselves striy-
ing for higher order of things, with
respect to local affairs.
Yet, we should not overlook the fact
that, in making our cities more at
tractive. more beautiful to look upon
and more comfortable to live in, mil
lions of people are drawn thither
whose condition is not improved. I
believe the greatest danger to civiliza-
ton today lies in the overcrowding of
our cities. 1t is unfortunately true
that large percentage Of the igno-
rance. misery and crime of the world
is to be found in the great cities.
We people of North Dakota may con-
sole ourselves with the assurance that
the evils incident to overcrowding
are not likely to overtake our own
cities for several generations to come.
You who are in charge of municipal
affairs have serious responsibilitie
confronting you. Your duties will not
be properly discharged If you fail to
provide employment for the idle youth
of your respective municipalities. The
tendency now is to fit the young man
for the professions. There may not
be too many educators of the higher
order, but l venture the assertion that
many lawyers. On the other hand.
there are too few young men who are
capable of entering the vast and prof
liable field of production. The num-
Der who are willing to identify them
selves with the industrial arts, includ-
ing agriculture, Is growing proper
ately less all the while. I still cling
to the old-fashloned theory that ev-
cry boy should learn a useful trade.
This shoull be part OF his education.
To know how to produce something
useful or needful to mankind is bet
ter than to know Greek or Latin.
There will always be a surplus Of
pedagogues, but never surplus of
plumbers. There has never been any
difficulty in finding an abundance Of
young men who are willing to spend
their lives in the counting room or in
the drygoods store at meager salaries.
but there is a serious difficulty in
finding those who will devote them
selves to tilhng the soil, either on
their own account or for good wages.
If our "city fathers can devise some
method of equalizing these conditions.
you will have rendered great service
to your country.

RUSS/A'S PROGRAM IN HAGUE
CONFERENCE IS OUTLINED

Annotated Press 10 The Evening Times.
Times.
ST. Petersburg, June 5.-Russia's at
titude and line of action before the
Hague conference are now beginning
to take shape at a series of confer
ences between NJ. Nelidoff, first men,
Der Of the Russian delegation, his as
sociates and technical advisers, and
officials of the foreign Office.
A series of proposition, mainly
drafted by M. De Martens, the Russian
expert on international law and Sec
ond member of the delegation, furnish
ing basis Of discussion for the va
rious points of the Russian program,
have been considered tentatively
adopted. Whether these will be pre-
sented to the conference depends
largely on the attitude of other del
egatiOns, Russia having no desire to
dictate the course that the discussions
shall take, and wishing to give pre-
cedure to the proposals of other pow
ers whenever. these are found salts
factory. Nevertheless. Russia has now
very definitely shaped her course on
the various important questions to be
presented. In ragard to the limita-
tion of armaments Russia maintains
the positions laid down in its note of
March 16, 1905. and with Austria and
Germany, is frankly opposed to any
discussion of this subject. which it
still feels can lead to no useful result.
In drawing up its program and elm
mating this and other questions from
the discussion, Russia's highest dip
lomatic officials maintain that they
were guided principally by the desire
to omit all subjects that might lead
to acute disagreements and that might
introduce into conference. whose
aim Is peace, bitter struggle of
political nature. From this point of
view. they regret deeply the interna-
tional difficulties raised by an insist
ence on discussion to which three
of the leading continental powers are
unqualifiedly opposed and that threat
ems completely to change the charac-
ter that the conference should bear.

AFTER DIAMOND THIEVES.

England Seeks to Extradite Alleged
R0bber Of Tiffany, of London.
Associated Press to The Hvenlng Times.
Washington, June president
Roosevelt has his attention directed
to a case today that has attracted
considerable attention in this country
and Great Britain. It Is that of Chas
Rohrer. a citizen of New York, whom
the British authorities desire to extra
dite to England. They allege that he
was concerned in the robbery of Tiff
fany and company and London and
company in February last, when jew
elry of immense value was stolen from
those firms in the city of London.
When the case was heard by a
United States commissioner in New
York, one Green. who confessed that
he committed the robberies, exhon-
Grated Rohrer, who had gone to En-
gland on the same steamship and re-
turned on the same vessel, but both
avsrred that Rohrer was not impli-
gated in the crime.
VIM. NJ. Bryne, an attorney of New
York, came here today and presented
to Secretary Root brief, in which
he set out the reasons why Rohrer
ought not to be sent back to England.
He maintains that his clients extra
dition, on the evidence produced,
would be serious invasion of Amer
ican domiciliary rights
Mr.. Byrne also submitted to Pres
ident Roosevelt letter. in which
were appeals to him to protect Rohrer
Gin his political and public rights as
an American citizen" He admits that
in his past career Rohrer committed
a larceny in the American states.
"That Is no proof of present guilt.
I take that you will agree with me
that under American law every man
charged with crime is not prejuddged
by his past. Under your administra-
ton we have come to believe that
those low down will have as sure a
measure of justice dealt to them as
those high up"
Mr.. Byrne urges President Roose-
welt not to permit any American cit
izen to be dragged from his country
and hauled before jury of aliens
In fabricated charges, and then con-
cludes:
Your opponents tried to put you in
Haywood's case. Here is case in
which your laws place you and where
you can show your countrymen that
man will receive inleXible justice,
even If he falls in your epictolary clas-
sification of undesirable
Mr.. Byrne also addressed a letter
to Ambassador Bryce, of Great Brit
ain, urging him not to insist upon the
extraddtion of Rohrer. A decision in
the case is expected in few days.

st. Paul, June Sit is possible that

officials will ignore the recent order
of the United States court which
granted an injunction in the railway
rate cases, and will begin an action
in the state courts to compel the
