Ask RooseveIt's Aid.


Oakland, Cal, June % President
Small of the telegraphers' union an
nounced yesterday afternoon that he
would ask the aid of the United States
government in the settlement of the
strike.
He said he would appeal to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and members of the
cabinet to intervene on the ground
that the transaction of business of ma
tional Importance is being interfered
with because of the strike. President
Small asserts that when intervention
is made by the president and cabinet
officials it will be learned that the
striking telegraphers are in nowise to
blame for the strike.
Take Hopeful View,
San Francisco, June %. - General
Superintendent Storer of the Postal
Telegraph company said yesterday
that there was not a message an hour
old in the main office, and the COM
pany was satisfied with the situation.
Supt. May of the Western Union
said that business was disposed of yes
terday quite promptly. He anticipated
steady increase in the force Of the
office until all men required are at
work.
No word indicating an early settle
ment of the local telegraphers' strike
came from the New York Offices of the
Western Union and Postal companies
yesterday. Officials of both companies
in this city say they have been in
structed to have no dealings with the
telegraphers union looking toward
settlement, but the former employees
will be received as individuals.

Makes Eloquent Plea.

Attorney K F. Richardson made the
principal argument in support OF the
motion in a long, carefully prepared
and eloquent address.
He took for his guide the Idaho stat
ute that forbids conviction upon the
uncorroborated testimony of an accom-
plice, and quoting authorities in sup
port of his contention that there must
be convincing confederation entirely
independent of the testimony OF the
accomplice, made an analysis of all
the testimony offered. He declared
that none of the testimony could stand

Tracked by Dog.

Another witness told Of the effort to
locate the men guilty of the indie
pendence station outrage by starting
a bloodhound from the chair rung
used in pulling off the mine explosion.
He said the dog took the road to Col
orado Springs, the one over which Or
chard fed in the night, and that when
he reported to Sterling he got orders
to call the dog off. Sterling said he
knew who blew up the station and
later said that Steve Adams had done
so.

Vengeance Was Orchards Motive.
Boise, Idaho, June 27.-The first di-
rect testimony in defense of William
D. Haywood was offered yesterday
and it was chiefly directed toward
showing that Harry Orchard, blaming
Frank Steunenberg for the loss of his
interest in the Hercules mine, mad
threatened to have revenge by killing
him. and that the conduct of Orchard
and K. C. Stirling, both before the In
dependence explosion, when they were
frequently seen together, and after
wards when Sterling called off a blood
hound that was following Orchard S
trail, justified the inference that the
mine owners inspired the crime.
Orchard on the Stand.
The calling of the first witness for
the defense was preceded by further
examination of Orchard to permit the
defense to complete it's formal i'm
peaching questions. These questions
were nearly all in connection with the
claim that Orchard killed Steunen-
berg because of an alleged grudgo
growing OuC VI IlS SctAC VI AAo AAI'NA SN''
in the Hercules mine. Orchard again
denied that he ever threatened to kill
Steunenberg because of the Hercules
mine, and again asserted that he had
sold his interest in the mine two years
before the trouble that drove him out
of Northern Idaho.
Two witnesses called later in the
yI n
kill Steunenberg because of the Her
cules mine matter, and the defense
has prepared the way for such testi-
mony from a dozen more witnesses.
Several witnesses located Orchard

MIR. BRYAN ON FINANCE.
Warns the Democratic Party Against
\ an Asset Currency.

The Democrats should be on their
guard and resist this concerted de-
mand for an asset currency. It would
simply increase Wall streets control
over the nations finances, and that
control is tyrannical enough now. Such
elasticity as is necessary should be
controlled by the government and not
by the banks. The government could
furnish a certain amount of elasticity
by increasing and decreasing govern
ment deposits according to the needs
of business; or it could provide for the
temporary issue Of treasury notes on
government bonds whenever holder
of bonds is willing to surrender the
interest; or it could issue treasury
notes in any emergency. But none Of
these plans will suit the f1nanciers;
they insist upon absolute control of the
nations finances-they to reap the adj
vantage while the public bears the
burden and takes the chances.
But the Democrats in the senate and
house areSin duty bound to look at the
question from the standpoint of the
people, and oppose the asset currency
in whatever form it may appear. They
may also have to oppose the great CEN
trail bank, which is part Of scheme
Of the financiers. And they will find
that the same influences which are be-
hind the asset currency and the CEN
trail bank are behind the Presidents
plan for national Incorporation Of rail-
roads, They are all part of plutocra-
cy's plan to increase its hold upon the
government
What we need just now is not an
emergency currency, but greater secur-
ity for depositors The depositors are
scared-unnecessari scared In most
cases-but scared. The government is
going to recommend a postal savings
bank, but, according to press dis
patches, deposits will not be accepted
in excess of $3.50 from any one per-
SON. This is good as far as it goes, but
1t does not go far enough. All bank
depositors should be made to feel Sc
cure, and they could be made to feel
secure by a guaranty fund raised by
O small tax upon deposits. When de-
positors feel sure of their money they
will not care to withdraw it, and the
money which would be drawn from
hiding places would more than repay
the banks for the small tax necessary.
The first thing is to release the pub
lie from the grip of Wall street, and
then when the stock gamblers have to
suffer for their own sins, instead of UNI
loading them on the general public, we
may expect legislation in the interest
Of the people at large.-Phe Com

@ULzER PARK FIRE-SW p
SOME HURT IN ESCAPING

With Estimated Loss

New York. Nov. 21.--1n spite of a
driving rain, flames which started today
in the grounds of Suffers Harlem

tween First and Second avenues and
127th and 120th streets, were famed by
a high wind across the property and

Mr.. Sulzer carried his wife out.
Mrs. Lena Pffster, an employee, was
on the third floor Of the building. Her
escape cut off, she Jumped from the

THE PAwNBRoKERs, TOO.
Hainpered by the Financial Strin-
gencV

Hampered by the Financial Strin-
gency.
One of the interesting phases of the
present financial .stringency Is the eff
feet upon the pawnbrokers here. The
number OF persons who are seeking
cash by pledging family jewels and all
kinds Of personal property has in
creased largely, But the pawnsho p
men have had to cut down their loans
and In some cases LIMIT has been
put on the amount to be given to any
one person, no matter what the
pledge. IF we can't get the money
from our bankers, we can't put it
across our counters" said loan
man to-day. Along the Bowery and
Park Row the limit In most shops has
been set at $25 and $50, although a
few of the larger ones are paying out
$50. Customers with valuables on
which they could ordinarily raise
much more have to be contented
with these sums or accept checks. A
majority of the customers Of pawn
shops, however want the cash. One
lpawnshop keeper said: 1T Is surpris-
ing, the number Of people who have
come In here since the trouble start
ed and tried to raise money 1t was
, clear many of them had never been
| IN O pawnshop before. One man
brought in bunch of government
bonds and wanted cash on them Nat
urally we could do nothing for him,
but it shows to what straits people
are being put for ready money when
they bring stuff like that to us in
stead of taking it downtown. A man
came in. with grip the other day
and spread out on the counter q lot
of jewelry which l saw at a glance
was easily worth 100000, probably
the family jewels ne had just taken
out of a safety deposit vault. 1 told
him to pack it right up again; that we
could not do anything for him. He
begged me to give him 1000 in cash
but l had to tell him he couldn't do
