SAY GAS CAUSED It
Further Testimony Covering E1-
plosion at Bradley Home.
ALL CONTRADICT ORCHARD

Dispositions Of Witnesses Taken at
San Francisco Read at the Haywood
TriaI-cook EmphatIcaIly Denies
Going to Theater With Orchard.
Boise, Ida, July 10-Practically the
entire day in the Haywood case was
taken up with the reading of San
Francisco dispositions covering the
alleged attempt to assassinate Fred
Bradley in that city in November,
1904.
The day began with continuance
Of the testimony Of ]. B. Reilly, who
lived near the Bradley apartments in
Washington street. Reilly declared
he had passed the apartment house
but few minutes before the explo-
sion and saw q Japanese servant
clearing the stoop and vestibule. He
did not believe it was within the range
Of possibility for any one to have
placed a bomb there in the manner
indicated by Orchard in the time
which elapsed between his passing
and the report OF the explosion. Or.
chard testified that after placing the
bomb ne boarded street car and got
out of hearing before the explosion
occurred.
The next deposition taken up was
that Of Mrs. Charles Pickard, who, as
Mrs. Crow, had been employed by the
Bradleys as cook. She told of having
smelled gas in the house for several
days prior to the explosion and had
called up the gas company to complain
Of it. Mrs. Grow denied absolutely
that she had gone to the theater with
Orchard as he testified. She declared
that he told falsehood when he tes-
titled to that effect.
Explosion Was Terrific.
Attorney Darrow next took up the
deposition of Mrs. Lucy A. Cummings,
who occupied one Of the fats In the
building with the Bradleys. She de-
scribed the explosion as the most ter
rible noise she had ever heard in her
life. The witness and her husband
Dotn jumped TO Inelr Ieeu exciaImIus
"It's gas
Gas had been leaking about the
house for some time. Asked II she
heard one or two explosions Mrs.
Cummings said there was just zone
big noise" Rushing into the hall she
smelled gas, but no powder. The wit
ness did not know. however, whether
exploding dynamite smelled like or
dinary powder or not.
John J. Eckelman, q member Of the
San Francisco fire department who
was with the company which respond
ed to fire alarm following the explo-
sion at the Bradley house. told OF
smelling gas strongly when he arrived
at the scene. Several other members
Of the fire department gave testimony
similar to that of Eckelman.
Joseph Vincent de la Veaga, an at
torney of San Francisco, who occu-
pied the apartment directly under the
Bradleys, told in his deposition of
having smelled gas in the vestibule Of
the house six or seven days prior to
the explosion. ------

RED LAKE INDIANS WILL
PLAY BALL HERE SUNDAY
Some Good Players Among Them...
Notes Of Players Well Known
" Here.

ably play a game of baseball in this
city Sunday against the Bemidj il
team, arrangements for the game
having been about concluded.
The reds on the diminished
reservation to the north of Bemidji
have among their number some very
speedy ball players, and if the best
OF these are gotten together, they
can make any semi-professional
team in the north country go some"
to win a game from them.
Among the players available at
the Red Lake agency are Omer Gra-
velle, for several years first baseman
and pitcher of the famous old White
Earth Indian team of 1900, which
was we'll nigh unbeatable; Simon
Fairbanks, another White Earth ball
tosser who plays a good game, and
several other lesser lights who are
of the latter-day school and who
learned the game while attending
the various Indian schools about the
country. -~.,...
Omer Gravelle is captain of the
red team and he will sbring the
strongest bunch he can get together.
Emerson, the Indian pitcher who
did such good work for the Bemid il
ball team three years ago, is now
of the Red Lake Falls team.
He is apparently as good as ever.
Recently, he and Eddie Carl (also a
of Bemidji's 1904 team
in a pitchers duel in a
game between Red Lake Falls and
Thief River Falls. The contest went
- innings, and Theft River Falls
got the long end of the score 6 to
,, Carl winning his own game by a
single in the last inning.
Benny Holstein, the White Earth
Indian catcher who was member of
the Bemidji team of 1905 and 1906, !
is now playing with Warren. He is
catching great game and hitting
the ball regularly.
Tony" Hoover, second baseman
for last years Bemidji team, has
gone to Minot, where he is playing
with c. F. Learnard's independent
ball team.
The Akeley ball team is very
chesty, this year. The aggregation
down the line will not play in Be-
midi unless given expenses and a
purse of fifty dollars on the side, a
pound of flesh" for their appearance
on the field. Coleman, the Indian
pitcher who handed Bemidji the
16'O shut-out last year, is twirling
for Akeley this season. -s.-"
1t is is very likely that the Walker
ball team will play here on the 21st
inst. Edward Rogers, the Indian
pitcher, is with Walker this year.

Conditions in Morocco

Kaid MacLean, the Sultans adviser, had renounced his nationality, and England had therefore small interest in his capture, but when the Arab tribesmen rose up and captured Casa Blanca. including it's custom house, killing number of natives and seven Europeans, France and Spain began at once to dispatch warships to the scene of trouble.
 The truth Is, Morocco Is in bad way. The Sultan has no real army, no real power, and Raisuli Is but one of a number of chieftains who do as they please All foreign interests are in danger, and no adequate protection can be expected from state that is practically in a condition of anarchy.
 The chances are that France and Spain, acting under the terms of the Algeciras treaty. will be given a free  hand in Morocco at least until order is secured and some guarantees fur nished that the tribesmen will be kept from new outbreaks of violence. If no assurance can be had against a Ma hometan uprising on the part of the fanatical tribesmen, then France and Spain will proceed to occupy the coun- try. and after a while Spain will with draw and France will gain what she needs in order to round out her i'm mense African possessions. Sultan and he seems destined to go the way

Both Are RefOrmers

Governor Johnston's speech in ac- cepting a unanimous nomination of the democratic caucus of the legisla- ture for senatorial service up to March 4, 1915, puts him in line with the rev olution which is beginning to form. ulate campaign against private mo- nopoly. In the speech he said: 'I shall stand for curbing the trusts, for reducing an oppressive tariff, for the just e9ntrol and regulation of public Service corporations, for the improve ment of our rivers, harbors and high ways. for equality of opportunity and burdens for local self-government, and I shall be found eternally opposed to government by Injunction. The preservation of the constitutional rights of the states to legislate on questions purely within their own jurisdiction and territory is pressing to the front as a most vital issue. Our fathers warned Us that the growing tendency would be to concentrate all power and jurisdiction in the central government and it's agencies. How prophetic these warnings, So far as l am concerned I shall stand in tho Senate for the rights of the states to legislate in respect to their local af- fairs, and I shall stand firmly against the nulifying of the acts of our legis- latures until they shall have been pronounced contrary to the constitu- tion by the highest tribunal in the land"
 No one can reasonably ask for more definite or comprehensive plat form than this. It expresses the new desires of the people of Alabama, and it renders certain the fact that our Eew junior Senator will vote against monopoly on every feasible occasion. And so will Senator Bankhead. Our senior Senator may be a trifle more rolite and tender than his outspoken colleague, but he has ever voted right in the past, and so he will in the fu- ture. The man who voted for the Sherman antitrust act and for the late bill passed last winter has a rec. ord he cannot afford to ignore.

 The policing by Franss and ahain of eight ports. including Casa Blabca, had not been established in accord ance with theSAlgeciras treaty when the outbreakgtook place, but they will speedily.

SOUTHERN'S PLIGHT.

From the New York Post.
 A terrible blow has befallen the Sol ern railway. The license to do bush in Alabama, which 1t acquired at great price of $10. has been revoked. will 1t be good? Really, a kind of fir zied competition in petty attacks ur railroads seems to have seized upon authorities of several southern stat, We shall next hear of a justice of peace replevining switchbar. At la accounts the trains were running in Al bama as usual If they ceased doii so, simply because the secretary of sta revoked the companys license, the would be fearful outcry. There ar undoubtedly importar question at iss, in all this matter of state regulate of railways, and the Jurisdictions ( state and federal courts in the premise It is certain, however, that they wi never be solved by men who can see notl ing larger than grain of mustard sees The revocation of a sl0 license Is scarce ly thing of which the supreme cou, will take judicial knowledge.

Policy of the Railroads

In discussing the troubles that had arisen in North Carolina between the state and the railroads the Savannah News recently said: 'But If the rail- roads had put the law in force and at issue had been decided by the su- preme court 1t would be on better terms with the people, and, hence, with the legislature, and therefore wouldn't be in much danger of hostile legislation. The state is in position to make the situation very unpleasant for the Southern, and, in fact, all of the railroads that oppose it's will. The passenger rate law is only a small matter in comparison with what the state can do if 1t should be so dis posed. It can load the railroad with expenses of one kind and another that would be exceedingly burdensome to it. It isn't known that there is dis position to do anything of the kind still, there is no telling what an angry people will do when they feel their laws are being treated with indiffer- ence, if not with contempt"
 This is now but an academic ques- ton in North Carolina, but in Alabama it is still live wire. The Age-Herald has long hoped the railroads would adopt q policy of conciliation instead of a policy of irritation, and the views of the Savannah News serves to con firm our contention, or rather friendly advice
 The time has really gone by for resort to quick-action injunctions. The people are restive under them, and the railroads should bring their business sense to bear and begin to deal with the situation according to later meth ods. Pre-revoutionary methods do not fit these times. The railroads can get in touch with the people if they will accept all laws frankly until they are repealed or modified. Nor does any one desire them to abandon a square and orderly test of any law they dis trust, but they desire those tests to Ee carried on in the state courts until the hour comes to go to the United States supreme court. The tie-up In. junction Is, in short, what Is dishked, Cut that out, and the hostile feeling in the hearts of the people would be- gin to relax at once.

 -CymbeIIne,
Auuustus Saint Gaudens

The death of Americas foremost ness. He was not quite sixty years old. but his life was one of tireless devotion to his art, and his work will long be regarded with admiration. He was thoroughly American, although he was born in Ireland and his parents were in part Irish and in part French. Saint Gaudens was as fully imbued with tho American spirit as he would have been if he had been born in the depths of the North Carolina noun tains frcm d stock that came over with Capt John Smith.
 His artistic career began in 1872, and throughout a generation he turned out one great work after another until almost every great city in the land held at least some evidence of his genius. His work ranged from ideal statues like "The Puritan" to llfe-like representations of which the statue of William Tecumseh Sherman is per haps best known. He was essentially poetical. and "The Puritan" may in the long run be considered his noblest dream. Critics agree in saying that while he studied the art of all nations yet he remained at all times individ- ualistic. It was apparent in all he did. His manner was his own, and the workings of his imaginative facul- ties bore impress of the artists own self. Freshness of expression and originality shone out in all his works, and his artistic skill was appreciated from the outset of his career.

STATES VS. RAILROADS

vs. McGhee as one which United States courts might enjoin, namely, "against in- dlviduas holding official positions under a state to prevent them under the sanc- tion of an unconstitutional statute from committing by some positive act a wrong or trespass." That view might make 1t proper for the United States court in Alabama to use the injunction power which we think highly doubtful-as it was used in North Carolina. But if there is anything in the recent call for respect for the powers of the states, widely heard from corporate circles, the corporation at- fected should first go to the supreme court of Alabama for equitable relief.
 We do not believe that the highest court of Alabama will sustain a statute forbid ding anyone to raise in the United States courts question of rights under the fed- eral constitution. If it should the corpora ton would still have its resort to the Uni ted States supreme court.

FLAGLER'S NEW ROAD.
rom the Houston Post.


 Henry M Flagler, who has spent mill lions in building hotels and railroads in Florida, is now having built a railroad from Miami to Key West, which is the eighth wonder of the world" said P. c. Koerber of Jacksonville, Fla, who was a guest yesterday at the Brazos hotel. "The new F'lagler railroad will be lG6 miles, and will cost about s22,OOo,O00.
 "Runnig as 1t does over the keys, from one side of the coach a passenger can see the Atlantic ocean and from the other the Gulf of Mexico About forty-four miles have already been completed, and the road is expected to be in operation in about two years The construction of the road involves fine piece of engineering skill. One span is 1o,500 feet long, with ls2 arches seventeen feet high. Only cement and steel are used In constructing the line.
 After the road is completed to Key West Flagler's idea Is to establish a line of ferries to Havana, transporting freight and passenger cars, too. to the Cuban port the same as coaches are ferried across the Mississippi river. Freight and passengers can thus go from New York to Cuban points without even changing cars.'

Board of Pharmacists.

Governor Conner Is making mis- take in wanting to make personal se- lections for the board of pharmacists, V said c. B. McVay, Ph. D., former presi- dent of the national association.
 "The matter of examining applicants for license to practice pharmacy is very important and requires men cap able and with discretion. too. Hereto fore in Alabama the matter of political on personal preferment has not entered into the question of the selection of tn @ pharmaceutical board. Dr. Condidus of Mobile E. P. Gait of Selma and John L. Parker are the present board and no better selections could have been made. In addition to their qualifications, the gentlemen were selected by the State Associati of Pharmacists with an eye to geographical location also, as a natter of convenience for men in diff
 srent parts of the state seeking li-

Poultry Is High.

The high prices paid for poultry in Birmingham ought surely to stimu- late the establishment of many poultry farms on the hills and in the valleys of Jefferson and adjoining countless said a Morris avenue merchant. "try- ing sized chickens are wholesaling at about thirty cents and retailing at from 40 to 50 cents. I do not believe I can recall a time since the civil war that poultry has reached such a nigh mark
 "The rise can easily be understood when one takes into consideration the present high price of beef and hog products. and of provisions In general. I do not believe there will bs decline at any early date and poultry farms are bound to yield abundant returns for years to come, especially if they are in close proximity to Birmingham" '"

 The Atlanta Georgian presents q comprehensive programme for making a city beautiful, as follows:
 Cut your grass.
 Clean your attic.
 Clean your front yard.
 Clean your back yard.
 Pick up all loose paper on your premises.
 Dump your cut grass with the trash, not in the gutter.
 Give your front walk a hose bath every day, unless it rains.
 Dump your trash in one box, your garbage in another. Don't mix
 Contractors-Move your own debris and don't leave this for the city to do.
 Pull the grass from your front pave ment and salt the cracks. This pre- vents second growth.
 Call the dead animal man. He is paid a large salary to remove car casses and to do 1t quick.
 Everybody-Have your front side walk swept on Saturday afternoon. This will make Sunday a joy and not 8 series of bralnstorms for wearers of skirts.
 The Age-Herald seconds the Geor- gians programme. It fits Birming- ham as well as 1t does Atlanta, and 1t would go as far towards making the one the "City Beautiful" as it would the other. Try it.

Tho Useful Horse.

'Is 1t not a peculiar fact that the coming in of the automobile has in no wise detracted from the value of the ever faithful horse?" asked a lover of that animal.
 Tn Birmingham there Is more fine stock in use than there evsr was be- fore; and this Is a splendid market for horses and mules growing larger and better every year.
 When electricity was applied to street cars, IL was thought by many that the horse and the mule would be put out of commission, except, perhaps, for food stuff, as in France and else where. But not 80; the horse and the mule are still with us, commanding big prices, and in full demand for the purposes to which they were applied long before there were any street cars or automobiles"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
How It Works.

Said a man of affairs: "The surren- der or the forfeiture of the charter of the Southern Railway company In this state would prove exceedingly drastic and enormously expensive to that com pany.
 If the rule should be enforced 1t would mean that the company in order to regain It's charter in this state shall pay one-third of one per cent on It's capital stock. That means s1so,ooo.
 The capital stock of the South hern railway Is as follows: Preferred stock s60, 100000; common stock, s120,0oO,0Op. Total. 1so,000,oO0. This sum of $780, 1000 would prove a very severe pen atty for a Aggression from rule laid down by the state of Alabama"
