MAYOR sCHNuTZ WHIPsAWED.
Tried to Compel Reagan to Vote the
Licenses.

Continuing his testimony, ex-Police
Commissioner Reagan, said. 81 told
the mayer / had heard that $2800
had been raised by the French res
taurants with which to secure IL
censes. The mayor told me he
would investigate and report few
days later, when he asked me to vote
for the licenses. He said / should
vote for the licenses: that l should
vote for them en- political grounds.
Many rich people were patrons Of
the French restaurants said the
mayor, and tEey will be angry II
they are clcsed.' l told the mayor he
made me close them, and now /
could not vote for them.
~ met the mayor at his home next
Sunday. He asked me to come in,
received me cordially and took my
hat and coat and led me down
stairs. Commissioner prinkhouse
came in Then the mayor opened the
subject of the craftsmanship Of the
police board. He worked himself in
to q terrible passion and accused me
of opposing his candidate for the
craftsmanship. He said he had a no.
ton to instantly demand my resigna
ton. Drinkhouse said he could have
his. / said he could not have mine.
Then things Gained down.
Pretty soon Ruef appeared and
the mayor gave us wbiskey and ci-
gars. Ruef said, 'Tom,' meaning me,
we will vote for the French restaur-
ants No, he won't said the may
cr."
The cross-examination of Reagan
developed little of Importance be-
yond the fact that Schmitz ordered
him to vote for the licenses for po'
litical reasons. He declared the may
or had himself only in mind and moi
the union labor party.

Extreme Tension In Court Room.

Boise, June THE extreme ten
sion under which the court attaches
are working was Indicated this after
neon when the deputies made all
spectators carrying umbrellas open
them to show that there were no con-
cealed weapons being carried into the
court room. A number of minor fist
fights also took place between depu-
ties ana too eager spectators, but no
material damage resulted.
Richardson at once began the in
terrogation Of Orchard as to the rca-
son of his activities at Cripple Creek.
lie was anxious to show the jury the
witness went into niost OF the crimes
he claims he committed because of
his own desires, not because anyone
asked him tQ.
Orchard again insisted the reason
he squealed on the attempt to wreck
the train With n-unionists aboard
was because Parker and Davis had
gone over his head and got two other

Act With Schmitz Directly.

San Francisco, June 7.-Unless the
cides to compel Ruef OF take the
.stand, the defendant will not have to
act as a witness in his own behalf.
This was decided this morning at n
conference CT the attorneys. They
believe they will be able to prove the
innocence of Schmitz without taking
the desperate step of asking their cli-
ent to tell his own story.
The prose- ecution still mairtains ST.
lence in regard to the proposed
course of action In relation to Ruef.
Heney dc clares he is able to send
SchmitZ to San Quentin without

first witness. He Is said to have ar

The resi- auram men. He said he went
to Ruef and asked him why the IL
oenses were held up, and asked him
to take the case. Ruef said If he
was wanter In the case as attorney
he would take II for 5000 year on
Il two-years' contract, payable in ad-
vance in currency.
He told him he would see the 9TH
err restaurant men and see what they
were willing to do. He called oil
several. They thought the price too
high. They saw the smaller restaur-
ant men. but they did not come in.
Finally Ruef agreed for $4,000 year
to handle the case for the five big
restaurants. This money he collect.
Ell and paid to Ruef.
On cross-examination II developed
that Schmitz frequently dined at the
Pup. with Ruef, and also alone.
Loupy said he did not go to Ruei
because he feared him or had beer
threatened, but bcause he was po.
litical boss and he thought he wa,
the head of the administration. He
admitted Ruef did not want to take
the case at first, but finally induced
him to do SO on the ground Of per.

The defense forced Loupy to ad

men to try to wreck the train, when
he wanted the job.
Yesterdays Late Testimony.

Boise, June 6.-Orchard then went
back to Denver and reported to Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone, who told
him to make bomb. He went to
Canyon City.
(Here Hawley produced a lead re-
cepticle which Orchard swore was the
bomb he had mentioned.) Haywood
leaned forward and closely scrutinized
the bomb. Orchard swore it was
loaded in the basement of Pettibone's
store, the latter helping him to load
it. They put 80 pounds of powder in
to it and then hid 1t in a valise. At
Canyon City giant caps were placed
in an arrangement with a small alarm
clock so it could be exploded at any
hour decided on.
Peabody was having his house re-
constructed and changed his habits
and they could not get a chance to
plant the bomb, so left 1t loaded in
the grip in a boarding house kept by
man named Vaughn. He then left
Canyon City and went into Arkansas
valley. where he wrote life and hail
insurance and then went back to Den
yer and reported the failure to Petit
bone, who said he had told Vaughn
by accident what they were trying to
do, and Pettibone directed him to
quit.
He then made another bomb to try
and kill Gabbert. This bomb was
planted in a vacant lot at the corner
of Colfax and Emerson streets, which
the Judge crossed daily. Pettibone
aided him in planting the bomb. They
| had a wire on the bomb, to which
was attached a pocketbook, which
when lifted would overturn a bottle
of sulphuric acid and explode the
bomb. Pettibone signalled him when
Gabbert left his residence, for him to
| attach the pocketbook. He tried q
couple Of mornings, but some one al
ways appeared with Gabbert. so he
had to give up this idea.
He made another bomb next da,
and when he saw the Judge coming
planted the bomb. Both bombs wer'
planted close together. When he go
down town about an hour later III
heard an explosion and found it wa
the bomb which killed an innocen
spectator named Wooley.
He hung about Denver for a fey
days and then went back to San Lui
valley and resumed writing insurance

"Well, not only are you an ore
thief, but also a powder thief" ask
ed Richardson. "Yes." Before the
question could be fully answered
Hawley interrupted with an objection
which was Immediately sustained.
Turning, surprised, to the bench,
Richardson demanded: your hon.

ton seems to me to be eminently

declared the Judge, The defense
took exceptions.

that he would blow up the mine. He

At this point Richardson called

Boise, June 7.-"Judging by the de-
cisions of Judge Wood in permitting
everything under the sun to be intro
duced in this case, I'd say there is lit
tie possibility of this trial being con-
cluded before August" declared Dar-
row as he took his seat at the head
Of the defense table when court re-
convened for the Haywood trial to-
day. There is no question but the
defense is bitterly disappointed at the
attitude of Wood.
The defense expected to call about
80 witnesses. but after looking over
the prosecutions array has now sum-
moned about 100 from every point
where Orchard has detailed his crimes.
Poor Memory In Some Essentials.
When Orchard resumed the stand
Richardson at once began a grilling
cross-examination in expectation of
breaking down the witness. Orchard
made a couple OF minor corrections
of his testimony of last night.
Orchard was questioned at length
relative to blowing up the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mine at Wardner
when he was only a member of the
union one month. He RENE mbered
but little about the makeup of the
train, or about who composed the
party that blew up the nine, but
positively asserted he was not playing
poker either at Mullan or Burke al
the time Of the explosion.
Orchard swore positively that he
and nearly 100 others helped to carry
The powder from the train to the mill
but only remembered the name OF
one man-Peterson-w was in the
party beside himself. The powder was
put in three parts of the mill. He
lit the fuse in the power compressor
room.
Asked II It wasn't a fact the pow
der was furnished by the superinten-
dent of the Gem mill to the miners
he said he didn't know. Also, he
could not explain how II was although
he had driven milk wagon and
played poker nightly in the saloons
that he yet only knew the names OF
half dozen of the party.
Asked to account for his where
abouts for three years after ESCAPING
from Purke he said he worked ir
the mines of Montana, Utah Wyom'
ing and Nevada, cut wood in Califor'
mia, and beat his wa from Montana
to Utah. He gambled a trifle ii

Habitual Gambler.
Orchards recital OF his movement!
throughout Utah and other states wa.
monotonous, the only matter that in
terested the spectators apparently be
ing his recital of his gambling ex
periences. According to the witness
he would work three months, save hi
money and then gamble and go brok,
and back to work again; gamble, 81
broke and back to work again.
While the cross-examination wa
progressing the prosecution received

About 100 Pendleton people left for
Weston this morning to attend the re-
union of the Umatilla county pioneers
which Is being held there today and
tomorrow.
An extra coach was placed on the
Spokane train to accommodate the
large crowd going over.
The picnic and reunion was largely
attended today and the ideal weather
made 1t pleasant for the pioneers. All
arrangements had been carefully
made by the people of Weston and
the crowd was most pleasantly enter
tanned by the program which was
published yesterday.
The feature OF the day was the ex-
cellent annual address by Walter NJ.
Pierce, himself a pioneer as we'll as
one of the most eloquent speakers In
eastern oregon.
Every part of the county was repre-
sented by pioneers who never fail to
attend the reunion. Echo, UmatiIla,
Milton, Helix, Mckay creek. Pendleton
and every pioneer settlement in the
county has numerous representatives
in the large crowd and the day was
highly enjoyed.
One of the chief features of the
entertainment is the excellent music
furnished by the Eagles band OF this
city, which went over last evening 10
remain for the two days of the reun-
ion. A concert and program will be
given by the band this evening.
The program tomorrow promises to
be highly entertaining also. and even
a larger crowd than went over today
from this city will probably attend the
last day of the reunion. T. T. Geer or
this city will deliver the memorial
| address tomorrow afternoon and
number of interesting numbers are on
the program.
The people of Weston are sustaining
their reputation as entertainers and
| everybody is delighted with the reun-
ion. Everything was carried out as
scheduled, the committees having their
| work well in hand.
Following is the program in full:

For Softening Hard Water.

1t is a misfortune to the house
keeper, and especially so to the laun-
dress, to have only hard water for
the various uses about the house.
One way to break" such water is
here given. Of course, water so
broken is to be used only for cleans
ing purposes-never for cooking or
drinking. For n boilerful of water,
use two teaspoonfuls Of sal soda
(washing soda), and bring the water
to a boil. If any scum arises, take it
off carefully. Then put in the soap,
shaved so as to dissolve readily. The
soap must not be put into the water
until it has boiled for a minute or
more to become softened. After the
soda has been put into the water do
not add more hard water, as this will
cause the soap to separate and
harden, and in this case scarcely any
thing can be done with it. If 1t Is
possible, try to have soft water
enough for laundry use, as hard
water makes more work, and many
times ruins the clothing. A barrel
sunken in the earth, under the drip Of
the caves, is better than nothing else,
but even a small cistern Is the best

CHAPTER XIX.
Continued.

If he could have looked into the
future-if he could have known what
that very day was to bring forth
would he have parted from her thus?
1t is difficult to say. But if Sophy
could have foreseen what was to
happen, 1 do not think her behavior
would have been different. Things
had gone too far with her in the way
of misery, of which this man was the
chief cause, for any retrograde step
toward tenderness or even pity for
him. The tremendous issues of fu-
turity itself were dwarfed beside the
contemplation of her wrongs and
wretchedness. What he had done
now was merely another drop added
to that cup of bitterness which he
was always holding to her lips. AS it
happened, he had unconsciously
caused it to run over; that was all.
AS she turned to leave the room, she
saw the bank note lying on the table.
She picked it up with a gesture of
adherence, as though it were some
infectious rag. 1t was a note for a
hundred pounds. She felt that he
had had no intention of intrusting
her with any such sum; that he had
thrown it at her without thought, out
of his unaccustomed %superfluity, as
one might inadvertently, out of a
full plate, throw meat instead of bone
to a dog. For an instant she held it
in both hands with the evident inten-
ton Of tearing it to pieces, when sud-
denly a reflection occurred to her.
''It is not his" she murmured; lit
is the canon's." And folding it neat
ly up she placed it in her purse, and
went upstairs. .
