DENVER, Colo, June 9.-Accordins
to an announcement in the latest issue
Of the Miners magazine a movement
will be inaugurated at the fifteenth
annual convention of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners. which opens in this
city tomorrow, for the consolidation OF
all labor unions. About 200 delegates
are expected to attend the convention
and the session will continue two
weeks. Delegates are coming from
Alaska, British Columbia, Mexico and
all the western states in which mining
is carried on. In the absence of Pres
ident Charles H. Meyer, who is in
prison in Idaho, Vice President c. E.
Mahoney Will call the convention TO
order. Examination of delegates will
be the principal work of the opening
session.
That Charles H. Meyer will be con-
tinued as president and William d.
Haywood as secretary-treasurer of the
organization is. the consensus of opin-
ion among the delegates who have al
ready arrived. The charter prohibits
the election of officers not upon the
floor of the convention hall, but pro-
vides that officers shall hold over until
their successors are chosen. The cleo
ton of president and secretary-treas-
urer, it is agreed, will be passed again
this year, as it was last year.
The delegates already on the ground
are unanimous in declaring that Harry

federation officers with the crimes he

BUSINESS MEN
DEFEND HARBIN
Hope to Disable Political Power of
Imperial Russian Government
and Keep Open Door for
Foreign Trade
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
HARDIN, June z, via Mukden, June
9.-fsussian business men centered at
Harbin are moving effectually to dis
able the political power and activities
of the Chinese Eastern and Central
Manchurian railways, which amalga-
mated with the Primorsk railways now
form one instrument for the promotion
of the Russian imperial policy in Man
churia and Mongolia. On account of
dominating the government interests
from Irkutsk to Vladivostok and Kha-
barovsk, the administration of the
amalgamated railways will, it is held
by the townspeople here, be a perma-
nent barrier against foreign trade, and
therefore they demand as a free per-
petual gift, with the right of self
government, the site of the city of
Hardin, together with land, which is
now controlled by the railways, for
room for expansion, and are forming
a scheme fof elf-government for the
purpose of attracting foreigners.
AS all interests at Harbin are sub
ject to the Russian administration the
opening of Harbin to international
trade is looked on as a farce and the
position of the foreign consuls is re-
garded as absurd.
Pending the determination by China,
Russia and other powers of the polit-
ical ownership and status Of the boun-
daries of Harbin, claimed to be on
Russian soil, the French and American
consuls ignore Russian jurisdiction.
while the Japanese are temporizing
with the railway administration.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 9.-A telephone
message from Wickenburg tonight
brings news of a murder committed at
Prospectors camp on Oak creek, several
miles from Wickenburg, on Saturday.
Jack Minor, a one-legged negro with
two or three fingers gone, arrived at
Wickenburg Saturday and told some
one he had killed his partner William
Chateau, a negro, shooting him through
the head with a rifle. Learning of the
story local officers locked up the man
Today Justice of the Peace Wrenn, at
Constellation, the nearest mining camp,
found the body of Chateau, shot
through the stomach.
Minor says he and Chateau were to-
gether on a wood contract in the hills,
when Shepard, negro living in Pres

Oak creek; that Chateau was quarrel

shot in self-defense. Last Wednesday

FORMER CONFESSION
CONTINUED from Page One,

to this book and asked if it had not
been suggested or dictated by McPart-
land, who secured Orchards sworn con-
fession. Orchard fatty denies that Nc
Partland had suggested or corrected the
manuscript. He admitted that he had
read the manuscript many times and
that it was practically the same as the
narrative he told on the stand during
the direct examination and which he is
celebrating under the fire of cross-eX-
animation by Attorney Richardson.
The cross mination of Orchard is
bringing out a mass of detail that will
again be taken up in the redirect. 1t
would appear even as If the prosecution
had purposely merely sketched through
the story of Orchards life in order to
allow the defense to bring out certain
features. This is instanced in the coh-
nection of Orchard and Meyer, the pres
ident of the organization of which Hay
wood is the secretary; also the intimacy
between Orchard and Pettibone, the
third of the prisoners charged with the
same crime under the same indictment.
That this connection will be brought out
very clearly and that the selection of
Orchard as the bodyguard to Meyer at
critical time when both of them
Travelled with sawed-off pump guns and
revolvers must be explained is admitted.
After Orchard the state will probably
put Adams on the stand. Counsel for
the prosecution admit the possibility
that Adams will refuse to testify, but
they point out that If he refuses on the
ground that it will incriminate him his
appearance will have served its purpose.
His confession cannot be used against
him. But if he admits making the con-
fession and repudiates it the sworn con-
fession will be placed before the Jury
for what it is worth. There is some
doubt as to what course Adams will
follow. His wife, who has been brought
into the case as having boarded Orchard
and Simpkins, but who has not been
connected with the commission of any
of the alleged crimes, has been in Boise
since the beginning of the trial. She is
seen in the court room every day in
company with Mrs. Pettibone. They do
not, however, sit inedde the railing. Mrs.
Meyer is still confined to the hospital in
Boise and is visited by her husband
nearly every day.
The jury is allowed much freedom.
Judge Wood gave orders to the sheriff
that If the jury wished to go out into
the country on the street cars they
should be allowed to do so. Their Jury
house is pleasant place with it's rose
covered porches and green lawns, and
the Jurymen, all apparently on very
friendly terms, receive visits from their
families, always, of course, in the pres
ence OF the bailiffs, and read the daily
papers, which come to them these DAYS
badly mutilated, having been taken up
with the Haywood trial and Orchards
testimany, which is being published at
greater length throughout the west than
any event of recent years.

POLICE COMMISSION
TO REMAIN UNCHANGED
By Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 9.-There is
a general belief at police headquarters
that there will be no change in the
personnel of the board of police COM
missioners. President Leahy has ten
dered his resignation, but unless Mayor
Schmitz should be deposed by criminal
conviction in the courts or will yield
to the influence of the "big stick" no
action will be taken on the resignation
Leahy will be permitted to make that
trip to Europe and it is quite possible
that instead of accepting his resigna-
ton the mayor will send him a letter
regretting that business has called him
away and will grant instead leave OF
absence

SACRAMENTO, June 9.-After an all
night search for Teddy Wright, a
negress, accused of making an as
sault with a razor on Edna Riley yes
terday, the police found the woman
buried up to her neck in a sand lot
near the Southern Pacific depot. The
woman had lain in the sand all night
waiting for the departure of delayed

expected to be protected from arrest.
During the night six negroes acted as
scouts for the Wright woman and kept
her informed of the movements of the
police, while a seventh stood guard
over her. The actions of one of these
negroes, H. Miller excited the sus-
picions of the police. He was shadowed

alighted, took out his pocketbook and
handed up the fare. His eyes met
Bobs, and he recognized him.
The two men stood looking at each
other without speaking. There was a
strange expression In the fathers eyes.
Many time they had been driven to-

had handed the fare to coachman.

He saw his boy mounting his pony.

But the day came when d girl came

There was nothing to do but for

was not fitted for business. He tried
several subordinate positions and failed

One day Bob Wicket had run of
bad luck. While all the drivers were
out there was telephone call from

stable, for a carriage to drive her to
catch train. Bob was directed to do
the job. When returning from the
station he saw on the sidewalk one Of
his old friends approaching. He drew
hts coat collar up about his chin and
pulled his hat down over his eyes. In
this way, though the former friend
looked straight at him, Bob passed un-
recognized.
Scarcely had he escaped one morti-
fcation than he fell into another.
