WILLING TO PAY 100000
Howard Gould Thinks His Wife
Could Worry Along With the
Sum Mentioned.

New York, june n--Announcement
was made today that Howard Gould is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of starting a
counter suit for separation against his
wife. Such an action, he thinks, would
lessen the chances of Mrs. Gould obtain
ing a court decree for alimOny of $250,O00
a year
One of Mr.. Gould's friends is quoted to-
day as saying that Mr.. Gould would be
willing to set aside a sufficient sum for
the support of his wife, but that he GER
tainly would not entertain the demand
for $4,000 a year. He thought il likely
that Mr.. Gould would be willing to give
his wife 100000 a year alimony and felt
sure Mr.. Gould would consent to settle
the suit on that basis, although Mr.
Gould had never said so directly.
Briefs of the argument between Delan-
cey Nicoll. attorney for Howard Gould
and Clarence J. Shearn, counsel for Mrs
Gould, were submitted yesterday to Su-
preme Court Justice Mccall, and de-
cision is looked for in a few days. This
argument took place last Thursday and
was on a motion by Mr.. Nicoll to strike
out three allegations from Mrs Gould s
bill of complaint.

VETOED THE TWO
CENT FARE BILL
Governor Hughes of New York
Does Not Agree With the
NeW York Legislature.

Albany. n. Y. June I-Governor
Hughes today vetoed the bill fnstituting
flat passenger rate of cents a mile on
every railroad system in the state more
than 80 miles long.
In his veto message the governor point
ed out that -'the passage of the bill was
not preceded by legislative investigation
or suitable inquiry.
Nor is the fixing of the rate predicated
on reports or statistics which would per
NIT fair conclusion as to the justice of
its operation"
The governor also said:
In justice to the railroad CORPORATIONS
the action of the government should be
fair and impartial, and upon this every
citizen, whatever his interest. is entitled
to insist. The fact that those in control
of railroad corporations have been guilty
of grossly improper financiering and OF
Illegal and injurious Determinations in
charges, points clearly to the necessity o.,
effective state action. but does not re-
quire or warrant arbitrary reprisals
I'm dealing with these questions de-
nocracy must demonstrate its capacity
to act upon elaboration and to deal
justly.
at is of the greatest Importance not
only that railroads should be Compelled
to respect their public obligations but
also that they should be permitted to
operate under conditions that will give a
fair return for their service. Nothing
could be more opposed to the interests
of the community as a whole than to
cripple the transportation corporations by
arbitrary reduction of earnings.
considerable differences exist between
the territory they serve and the cost of
service, and it is manifest that what
would be fair for one might be far from
fair for another"

ORCHARD A SHEEP THIEF
AS WELL AS MURDERER
Cross Examination of the Most Remarkable
Criminal in the History
of America.
Mrs. Steve Adams Accused of Completely in One Po-Wom
an Laughed as She Listened

Boise, Ida. June 1.-THE attack of
the Haywood defense on the testimony
OF Harry Orchard goes on unremitting-
ly, and the witness will probably be
continued on the stand for two full
days. Orchard withstands the strain
with remarkable fortitude, and at the
end of six days shows no indication IF
mental or physical tagging. This day
was begun with the story of the dyna-
hitting of Fred Bradley in San Fran
cisco, and the defense made long and
determined effort to expose several fea-
lures of it TO doubt. tmprObability, and
future discrediting and to vitiate it all
by revealing the hand of the Pinker-
tons.
Then the play went back to Denver
for the winter of 1904-05 and the spring
that followed, and there was an extend
ed effort TO show that Orchard had
practically no communication with the
leaders of the federation; that he re-
eeived no pay for the Bradley crime or
anything else, and that with Steve
\ Adams, in a period of extreme poverty
fXtending over several months, was re-
'duced to the necessity of stealing sheep
from the GlobeviIle stock yards that he
might have food.

ORCHARD FAILS TO REMEMBER DATES
BUT STICKS TO MAIN PART OF STORY

When Orchard resumed the stand at
the opening of court today, Attorney
Richardson continued TO question the
witness about the attempts he made
upon the life of Fred Bradley in San
Francisco. Orchard said that he rOomed
near the Bradley home. being able to
overlook it from his bedroom window.
The confessing witness declared that
he had bought some dynamite for a
bomb before the attempt TO poison
Bradley with strychnine in the milk
failed. Orchard thought it was the
Judson Powder company that he
bought the explosive from. Asked the
appearance of the clerk who waited on
iim. Orchard said he was "a youngish
hooking man.
In buying the powder Orchard was
required to give his name. He could
not remember what name it vast
was a fictitious one, thought of on the
spur of the moment. AS an excuse for
buying the ten pounds of dynamite,
Orchard told the clerk he wanted to
blow out some stumps on his ranch.
Don't you know there are no stumps
within $50 miles of San Francisco?" de-
manded Richardson.

Orchard gave as nearly as he could
a description of the various places
where he had lived while in San Fran

the names of the streets or the num-
hers Sf the house.
Next Orchard told of pleasure trip
he had taken TO Caliente Springs while
waiting for Bradley to return from

ANTITRUST LAWS

Washington. June I.-DevelOpments
since the cabinet conference at the White
house last Friday evening make it prob
able that the government will begin pro-
eeedings under the antitrust act against
Il. II. Hartman and his associates for VI
Olations Of the law in connection with the
sO-called Chicago & Alton railroad deal,
the Union and Southern Pacific transac-
tons and perhaps in connection with the

fic agreement

luminous coal carrying roads. however,
will likely await the result of the ac-
ton by the courts in the cases to be
brought against the Hartman roads. Ii
is explained that there are some impoT-
tant questions that are common to both
cases, and therefore. ii is asserted. the
suits against the bituminOus coal roads
Will not be brought until the courts have
rendered judgment in the Hartman
cases.
May Appeal to Congress.
In the event of an adverse decision as
to these common points and the govern
ment decides that the law. as it stands, is
inadequate TO fully cover the case, IL is
more than probable that congress at its
coming session will be asked to amend
the law so as TO meet the present situa-
ton. As the report of the interstate
commerce commission on the Hartman
investigation has not yet been made the
action of the department Of justice in
filing its bill OF bills will necessarily be
somewhat delayed
1t is not known that the question Of the
advisability of bringing any suit attack
ing the validity of the Hartman Alton
transaction is one in which the inter
state commerce commission is divided.
and as a result of this difference of opiu-
ion two reports from the commission are
possible.
1t is believed. however that both the
president and his attorney general have
reached the same conclusion, namely, that
the evidence submitted justifies action
to restore the original status. In the
meantime, however, an action will almost
certainly be begun to compel Mr. Harri-
man to answer certain questions, which
he declined to answer at the hearing Of
the commission held in New York City
and in the west some months ago.
