TO ASSA|L STORY
TOLD BY ORCHARD
CONTINUED from Page One,

writer knew the alias of Harry Orchard,
contained the statement that that"
had been sent to "Jack'' on December
Il, 1906. Orchard testified that Petit
bone, one Of Haywoods co-defendants,
wrote this in the less harmful act of
deceiving Mrs. Orchard. Through Or
chard's letters runs the suggestion that
the federation officials were keeping
Mrs. Orchard in funds, but this, too,
rests on Orchards word.
Haywood, Pettibone and Orchard are
located together on two or three occa-
sions in Denver, between the spring and
fall of 1905, and Orchard lived at Petit
bones house as guest during the
month of August, 1905.
Show Feeling Against Victim
Articles from the Miners Magazine
and some testimony as to the Occur
d'Alene strike of 1889 show animus to-
ward Steunenberg on the part of Hay
wood and other leaders of the federa-
tion.
On the general conspiracy set up in
allegation by the state the general
showing has been as follows:
Orchard has been traced through all
of the more important movements con-
nected with the alleged attempt ontthe
life of Fred Bradley at San Francisco
by Independent witnesses, and his story
of the poisoned milk has been carried
down to the chemist who analyzed it.
1t had been independently shown that
while Orchard was at San Francisco
Pettibone, using false names, tele-
graphed money to him twice through
the Postal Telegraph company and that
a registered letter or package was sent
to San Francisco from Pettibone's Den-
yer address under one of the names
used by Pettibone in sending telegraphic
remittances. Other than by Orchards
word 1t has not been shown that the
Bradley explosion was caused by a
bomb.
The casing of the so-called Peabody
bomb has been produced and it's history
largely proved by outside witnesses
from the time it was in Denver until
it was dug out of the ice in the Occur
d. 'Alene river. Miss Peabody confirmed
one detail of the story Orchard told OF
| the attempt to shoot her father, and
Orchards story of his journey to Can
on City to kill former Governor Pea
body is given general confirmation by
the evidence of William Vaughn, who
was Orchards travelling companion
Orchard went to Canon City ostensibly
as an insurance agent, and the state
has produced a letter written to the
insurance company for him by Petit
bone.
The discovery of the Goddard bomb
has been established, but the earlier
history of the bomb and all of the plot
centering around it rest upon the tes-
timony of Orchard. Reason for ami
mus against Justices Goddard and
Gabbert has been shown by witnesses
adverse to Meyer and the miners in
terests in Colorado.
Orchards story of the first descent
into the Vindicator mine is corrobor-
ated by the eager, whom Orchard en-
countered and attempted to kill,

FRUIT DEALERS IN EAST
SAY STRIKE WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS LOSS TO SHIPPERS
BY Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 22.-President Sager
of the Chicago board of trade and Sec
retary Wren of the Chicago stock ex-
change declared last night that the
San Francisco telegraphers' strike will
have little effect upon Boards of trade
or stock exchanges in Chicago.
Fruit dealers asserted that the strike
is likely to have a serious effect upon
their business. Shipments of perish
able fruits, it is declared, will be seri-
ously hampered as a result of a lack
of telegraphic communication with San
Francisco and Oakland.
At the Western Union and Postal
offices in Chicago all messages for both
strike points were accepted subject to
delay.

The Use of Asphalt
for Street Paving.

The use of asphalt as a paving ma
terial was, until a comparatively
short time ago, almost universal, at
least so far as the larger cities of the
country are concerned, and today
there are hundreds of miles of it in
use, in some instances giving fairly
good satisfaction, and in others being
the cause of constant annoyance and
expense. 1t has given but slight salts
faction on streets where traffic is
heavy and, as it is greatly affected by
heat, softens during the summer, even
in the more northern cities. Notwith-
standing its shortcomings there are
many advocates of asphalt paving,
and there can be no argument over
its appearance when first laid, as it
makes, without question, one of the
finest appearing streets that it is pos
sible to obtain.
Engineer Collier, in his discussion
of the question, gives the result OF
his experience with asphalt in detail

paving question which is presented
to readers of The Journal this morn

paving. The first cost is high and
the repair bills without end, accord

fairly and the article is commended

Report of Trustees
Of the I. I. Fund.

The Tallahassee sun takes excep-
ton to our editorial on the report of
the board of trustees of the internal
improvement fund, in which we stated
that we would not go into a discus
sion OF the report until we had the
full report before us.
The Sun says that we had, for all
practical purposes, the report before
us at the time, but we contend that
we did not. The Journal published
the Suns summary of this report, and
while it is true that this included the
total amount of money spent for the
different purposes, yet it was not a
detailed statement in that il did not
specify in detail to whom these
moneys were paid, and for what par
ucular pieces of work done, or SER
vices rendered.
Exception is also taken to the con-
GLIDING paragraph of the editorial,
which was as follows: Publicity, or
impartial investigation, of the work of
any department, can not hurt the Of
fetal who has been faithful in the
discharge of his duties, and when a
public officer blocks an investigation,
and denies publicity to any detail of
the work of his department it at
least throws out a suspicion that
something must be wrong"
The Sun seems to think that this
was meant as reflection on the pres
ent board of trustees, but such was
not our intention. 1t has been re-
peatedly stated in the state press, that
the board of trustees would not give
out information concerning their &C
tons, and that every act of the board
was clothed in secrecy. The Journal
did not believe this, and some weeks
ago entered into discussion with the
Tallahassee True Democrat along this
line. We stated that We believed the
trustees would give the editor of that
paper any information he desired. and
We suggested at the time that Editor
Collins make a demand on the trus-
tees for the information.
In the editorial to which the Sun
takes exception, this sentence is used:
The Journal is glad to note that Gov
ernor Broward has come out squarely
in favor of publicity in these matters.
We have believed. and so said, that
if the proper demand were made on
the governor these records would be
forthcoming" We did not mean to
insinuate by this that any demand
had ever been made on. the governor

sacola for two years as chief execu-

citizens as mayor of the city, and a
petition was in circulation yesterday
and signed by many requesting that
he announce himself as a candidate
for the office
This petition was placed in circula-

CATION of citizens also called upon Mr..
Jones and made the request that he
announce himself, or allow his friends
to use his name as a candidate for
the position. This Mr.. Jones it is
stated, declined to do at that time, but
told the members of the committee
that he would consider the matter
and give them an answer later. The
petition contains the names of many
prominent citizens of the city who
promise Mr.. Jones their support
should he decide to enter the race.
1t is evident from the manner in
which the friends of the one an

spoken of as probable candidates are
working, that the coming campaign
for the Office of mayor as well as
other city officers will be interesting
