for the immediate consequences in
volved as for the differences to be
drawn bearing on general conditions.
With large and profitable contracts
on hand this company was helpless
to secure the funds to continue its
operations. A special cause of the
embarrassment was the diversion of
a large sum of it's working capital
for the completion of a new plant,
which forced the company into the
money market to secure temporary
loans. But even in this special feat
ure of the case there was believed to
be reflected factor which is typical
of widespread conditions. The lavish
outlay of capital for extension to
take advantage of the prosperity of
the country is prime factor in the
present shortage of capital. The pos
sibility of embarrassment for lack of
sufficient working capital to conduct
operations lends itself to supposition
Rumors of such troubles found ready
and unpleasant credence when ap-
piled to enterprises which were
known to have made large outlays
for extension. The specific formu-
lation of these rumors, however, led
to their authoritative refutation.
There was material growth of
confidence during the week in the
prominent crops The publication of
the government reports of corn ON
Monday served to allay the acute ap-
prehensions current before that, and
was followed by drastic readjust-
ment in the speculative markets.
Due allowance for the reduction of
both winter and spring wheat, and
the present discrepancy compared
with averages seems to leave ground
for hope of fair cropof wheat. Re-
alization of the large reserves of the
former crop still available for mar
ket helps to quiet apprehension re-
garding the supplies of wheat. The
favorable considerations of the out
look were insufficient to Offset the
dominant depression of sentiment

ORCHARD TO
BE CALLEDTO
STAND AGAIN
SEVERAL POINTS RELATIVE TO
THE STEUNENBERG MURDER
TO BIZ BROUGHT OUT.
STATE WILL NOT USE ADAMS
Defense Has Given No IntimatiOn OF
Plans, But Expects to Tear Or
chard's Story to Pieces.
tBy Associated Press,

BOISE. June 17.-When the
Steunenberg murder trial is resumed
tomorrow morning Harry Orchard
will be the first witness called to the
stand by the state. He will at first
be in the hands of the defense in
order that a series of formal i'm
peachment questions may be pro-
pounded and then the prosecution
will take him over for his redirect
examination. Despite his long stay
on the stand there were several
points relative to the Steunenberg
murder and the alleged conspiracy
behind it that were not developed
and these the state will bring out,
The prosecution also wants to clear
up several matters dealt with by the
cross-eXaminatiOn. When Orchard
was brought back from Caldwell this
afternoon his guards took him to the
office of James H. Hawley, senior
counsel for the state for conference
as to his testimony and at the con-
clusion of the meeting he was driven
back to the penitentiary Counsel
for the state had an extended con-
ference this afternoon as to the con-
Guiding moves in their case and
chiefly relative to the course to be
pursued by them toward Steve
Adams. The decision as to Adams
was not final, but it was tentatively
agreed not to call him as witness
for the state, but to leave him for
the defense if it sees fit to make him
a witness. Adams stands by the
reputation of the confession, which
it is claimed he made to Detective
MCFARLAND and there his connection
with the case, other than in the use
of his name, rests for the present
Orchard will be succeeded on the
stand by James Kirwan, acting sec
retary of the Western Federation of
Miners. Objection was made to the
manner in which Kirwan was served
defense waived the matter and stipu-
lated that they would have him in at
tendance whenever desired.
Several additional witnesses,
whose testimony is said to be of i'm
portance to the states case, will ar
rive here tomorrow and the next day
and will be called as soon as the way
is cleared for them. Charles Neville,
son of John Neville, who was a men,
ber of the camping party that ac-
cOmDanlcu OTCudTu On HiS hl6he ihIo
Wyoming after the Independence
station was blown up, arrived here
today.
Orchard claims that on the day of
the explosion he started out with
Charles Neville and his father, John
Neville, since deceased, aId that the
party went into camp for the night;
he stole away, mounted a horse and
rode back to join Steve Adams, set
off the mine at the station and then
hurriedly rode back to the camp.
The youths testimony as to the
events of that night should have an
important bearing upon the truth or
falsity of Orchards story.
The principal counsel for the de-
fense were in consultation with Hay
wood this afternoon succeeding a
meeting at their Office. They have
as vet given no further inlimation of
their plans of defense, other than
Orchards story.

WILL CONDEMN
ROOSEVELT'S
LAND POLICY
Public Land Convention Delegates
Disagree With the Presi-
dents Theory.

DENVER, June 17.-Cf greater
and more far-reaching Importance
years will be the Public Lands con-
than any gathering in Denver In
vention, which will meet at the
Broadway theater this morning and
be in session for three days. Infor-
NAL discussions among the delegates
already on the ground point to the
conclusion that President Roosevelts
policies as to Western land and irri-
cation regulations will be condemned
by the convention in a conservative
politics in the matter.
Two states, Colorado and Wyo-
ming, will virtually dominate the
convention. OF the 1 900 delegates
from the four Western states repre-
sented, Colorado and Wyoming will
have about 4S0, and 80 per cent OF
these, it is declared, will be against
the administration policies with
reference to the public domain
Oregon, IDAHO, Montana and Wash
ington, with nearly 200 delegates
will side in large measure with
Colorado and Wyoming.
James Wilson, secretary of agri-
culture, was expected to attend
the convention, but he has sent word
that he will be unable to come. 1T is
believed that either William H. Taft
or George b. CoEtelyou may come in
place of Secretary Wilson. The at

tary of the interior; r. A. Billinger

Senator Clark of Wyoming, who
fought the presidents land policies
on the floor of the senate at Wash
ington, arrived here Saturday night.
He will take a leading part.
There will be no politics in the
convention" said Senator Clark yes
terday. 1.-The questions to come up
for discussion and action are not po-
litical. They have to do with the
policies of the president with refer
ence to his administration of the
public domain.
1--WE have had good dose of
bureaucratic administration of the
public domain. Now it is time that
we swing back to the old mooring
and constitutional rights of the
states. l am satisfied that the presi-
dent will want to do what is best for
the country when he is advised of
the true conditions and the temper
of the people of the West. This is
the one great end that we are striv-
ing for'"'

NEARLY BROKE
UP CONFERENCE
NEWS OF DISSOLUTION OF RUS.
SIAN HOUSE CHIEF TOPIC
DISCUSSED.
DELEGATES DEPLORE ACTION
Dutch Orators Address 1900 PeO-
pie and DenOunce Conference
as a Comedy,

THE HAGUE, June 1.-THE dis
solution of the douma and the pro-
mitigation of new election system
have created profound impression
among the delegates at the peace
conference. The news reached The
Hague yesterday morning and spread
rapidly, becoming instantly the topic
for discussion. For the time being
matters pertaining to the confer
ence were forgotten. Although the
dissolution of the douma was antici-
pated by those who have been closely
following recent developments in St.
Petersburg, the fact that such an
event should occur simultaneously
with the opening of the conference
was generally deplored. There is
general disapproval as to the wisdom
of the dissolution.
The Russian delegates at the con-
ference were not surprised at the
formed as to the intentions of their
government. They deny, however,
that there is any connection between
the governments decision and M.
Nelidoff's utterances Saturday.
Extra precautions have been taken
sonal safety of M. Nelidoff. Ever
since his arrival here special detect
ives have been detailed to guard him
as the secret service was warned sew
eral days ago that an attempt to as
sassinate him would be made as he
drove to the Hall of Knights Satur-
day.
A demonstration against the peace
conference was held in the outskirts
of the city, but 1t was not great sue
cess The organizers of the demon
stration expected that NJ. Gustave
Herva would be present, but he did
not appear, telegraphing that he had
been delayed on account of legal
business The speakers were confined
to Dutch orators, who addressed g.
600 persons against the idea that the
various governments really had any
serious intention to tighten the mill
tary burdens, which were sapping the
energies of the European states. The
peace conference they denounced as
a comedy played to deceive the
masses.

was evident that the intention of
the voter was to cast his ballot for

recount, were, Root 73, and Munroe

Winning by one vote is a most un-
