about the mishap and on being told to
keep quiet Or get OF the car he declined
to do either and was gently removed
by motorman Comstock and again de-
posted in the street, this time into
the hands Of officer Debeau who arrest

Meyer Will Also Testify This
Week for His. Fellow
Prisoner
Defense Has Another Bunch
of Impeachment Test
mOny for Orchard

Boise, Idaho, July 6. Counsel for
the defense in the Haywood murder
case held conference today, both
at their downtown Office and in the
cell of Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone at the county jail, and it was
stated afterward that it would be
Wednesday next before Haywood
takes the oath as witness in his
own behalf. The defense, as it now
stands, is to begin Monday morning
by reading dispositions taken at San
Francisco as to the explosion at the
house of Fred Bradley, the mining
operator. These dispositions are to
be supplemented later with evidence
of experts in explosives. It is con-
tended by the defense that ten
pounds of dynamite, exploded as
Orchard swears the Bradley bombs
were, would have blown Bradley into
pieces and destroyed the whole
front of the house, and it is to show
this that this expert will be called.
After the dispositions are put in,
there will be additional testimony
to show that before he fed from the
Couer d'Alenes in 1899 Orchard at
tempted to sell his interest in the
Hercules mine, and then there will
be showing as to the movements
and actions of Jack Simpkins when
he went to Denver in the fall of
1905, after having parted with Orch
ard at Caldwell. This will practical
ly conclude the case, with the excep-
ton of tn testimony of Haywood
and Meyer, and it is believed that
the latter can be reached by Tues
day afternoon. ,% -,.l>s
Steve Adams will not be called by
the defense. To call him would open
the way for the state to get his
reputed confession before the jury,
and it is deemed better strategy to
avoid this. The direct examination
of Haywood will. according to state
ments Of counsel for the defense, be
very extended, He will be taken
over a sketch of his life that will
embrace all of it's important events,
including his connection with the
Western Federation of Miners, with
which his later life has been closely
interviewer.
It is claimed that no limits will
be established for his protection and
that the gate will be open to the
fullest and widest cross examination
that the prosecution decides to
make. ..... H..
Haywood himself will explain that
500, sent to Jack j. Simpkins nine
days before Steunenberg was. muir
dered, was the bulk of the fedora
ton expense account that Simpkins
left with Haywood to be forwarded
to him at his home in Spokane.
The presentation of the states
case in rebuttal will probably COM
mence on Thursday next and be car
ried over into the succeeding week.

He has never paid any rent and is a
usurper Of the public domain and has
simply been permitted to occupy the
land because there was no one desir-

The homesteader contends that he is

ADOLESCENI
None Of Washington Depart
ment Heads Know What
Is Going On
No Information Can Be
Cleaned Regarding Ships
For Pacific
Meantime Great Shipments of
Coal Go Forward and
Everybody Is Busy

Washington, July 6-Heads on The
naval bureaus manifest singular ig-
norance of the plans of the daminis-
tration to send a battleship feet to
the Pacific, Notwithstanding the Off
cial confirmation of reports that had
been so frequently denied in the be-
ginning. These bureau chiefs assert
that they are engaged only in the
routine work of the department and
that they are making no unusual pre-
parations for a great undertaking
They also assert that they have no
orders to do otherwise. And on the
surface there are few signs of abnor-
NAL activity in Washington; many of
the chiefs are away; the naval general
board is scattered; the usual proper
ton of the subordinate employees are
on leave of absence, and the war and
navy departments appear to be in the
usual summer lethargy !.
But it is undeniable that the plans
of the department workers for this
particular summer fit in with the ext
gency of the moment in the matter
of coal supply, for instance, it may be
that the movement of this fuel to the
far east and Pacific coast is simply
the equal to the average demands OF
the naval service. In fact, it is said
hat coal would have gone forward be-
fore this had the money been aFaila-
BILE.
The supply of reserve naval guns
and ammunition and of torpedoes is
found to be much nearer the needs
of the service than before at this sea
son of the year.
Construction of guns for new ships
is progressing very well and without
doubt the armament for armoured
cruisers about to be turned over to
the government will be ready by the
time contractors have finished the
huils and fittings of the ships Head
way has even been made In the fabri-
cation Of great guns for the two big
a0.oo0-ton battleships. although con-
tracts for these hare not been finally
signed,

Chicago, July 6,-JOhn ID. ROOKIE
Teller, president of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey, occupied
the witness stand in the United
States court today while Judge Lam
dis piled him with inquiries relating
to the strength and business meth
DDS Of the corporation of which he
is the head. .35 s:s
Rockefeller was very willing
and an equally unsatisfactory wit,
ness. He was ready to tell all that
he knew, but he said, that he knew
practically nothing. The result of
the examination was that he be-
lieved that during the years 1908,
1904 and 1905, the period covered by
the indictments on which the Stan
dard Oil Company of Indiana was
recently convicted, the net profits of
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey were approximately forty per
cent Of the outstanding capitaliza-
ton OF. 500 ,OO0, 900. The investiga-
ton held today by Judge Landis was
instituted by him to determine
whether or not the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana, which was con-
yicted of violation Of the law, was
really owned by the Standard Oil
Company Of New Jersey; whether
the Union Tank Line, whose cars
were used for the shipments made
in violation of law, was similarly
owned and, also, to get an idea of
the financial resources Of the con-
vieted corporation in order to infiict
fines proportional to the offense and
assets of the convicted company.
It was stated by an official of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey that it owned the greater part
of the stock Of both the Union Tank
Line and Standard Oil Company Of
Indiana. Specific figures as to the
earnings of the parent corporation
were given by Charles M Pratt, its
secretary, and they were close to the
estimate given by Rockefeller.
The prospective appearance in
court of the man reputed to be the
richest in the world, brought about
la spectacle the like Of which has
never been witnessed in the vicinity
Eof a Chicago court room.
The hour set for the appearance of
Rockefeller was 10 o'clock and an
hour before that time the low-ceiled
hallway outside the court room door
was densely packed by a crowd. all
of whom were anxious to obtain
seats and hear the testimony. IA
large squad Of United States deputy
narshals under the direction of
United States Marshal Hoy and nu-
merous details Of police were on
hand, but even they were unable at
times to control the crowd.
People pushed and showed and at
times by sheer weight actually bore
the police and deputies down. The
crowd was SO dense that frequent
cries for assistance were heard and
people who were jammed against
the walls frantically begged for re-
lief from the pressure they were
subjected To.
Admission to the court room was
by card only. but many people sue
ceeded In evading the guards, and
when Judge Lands took his seat
upon the bench the court room was
packed to the last inch. Lines Of
people were around the walls. doz-
ems Of chairs held two occupants,
every inch Of standing room was
occupied and men sat upon the steps
of the jury box and squatted upon

traits of character and her friends
were countless. The funeral ar
