EIGHTEEN MURDERS
Confessed by Orchard on Completion
Of Cory Narrative-Ended With
Steunenberg Assassination.

Harry Orchard crowned his admis.
sions of grave crimes on the witness
stand at Boise Thursday when, con
tinuing his case against William D.
Haywood, he made an explicitly de-
tailed confession of the murder OF
Frank Steunenberg by an internal ma
chine that directly opens the way for
his own conviction and execution for
the offense He swore that the assas'
sination of Steunenberg was first sug'
gested by Haywood, was Jointly plot
ted by Haywood, Meyer, Pettibone
and himself, was financed by Haywood
and was executed by himself, after the
failure of an attempt in which Jack
Simpkins had participated.
Orchard lifted the total Of his own
murdered victims to eighteen, detailed
The circumstances under which he
tried to murder former Governor Pea
body, Judge GODDARD, Judge Cab
bert, Gen. Sherman Bell, d. H. Moi,
fat and Frank Herne. Incidentally he
confessed to plan to kidnap the child
of one of his former associates.
Then, under cross-eYaminat!cn by
the defense, Orchard confessed guilt
of the sordid social crimes Of desert
ing his young wife and child in On
tario, fleeing to British Columbia with
Hattie Simpson, the wife OF another
man, and committing bigamy icy mar
rying a third woman at Cripple Creek.
Through the shocking details OF muir
der plots, stories OF secret come-
making and details OF man hunts. with
sawed-off shotguns and internal ma
chimes as weapons, the witness went
cn in the same quiet, off hand manner
that marked his demeanCr ON the
stand Wednesday.
His voice dropped to a lower Key
as the pitiful story Of the long hunI
for Steunenberg narrowed down to
the last day, and he told of the race
from the hotel to the SteuneIiberg
home to beat his victim, with the death
trap. and the meeting in the evening
gloom. as the victim walked uncon'
sciously to his doom. Through it all,
he WINGED but once, and that was
when the defense made him name his
six sisters and his one brother, ana
give their residences in Onsarlo anu
New York.
The defense fought the story WITH
q multiplicity of objections and sue
ceeded in heading OFF an attempt to
tell the story Of the murder OF Ar
thur Collins, at Telluride, and tempo
rarily shutting out the contents OF
telegram received and telegram sent
by Orchard after his arrest. Bat for
the rest, the state managed to gel in
it's story intact.

Washington, Mrs. Steunenkerg, wido"
OF the former governor of Idaho, says
she hopes Harry Orchard viii! be CIV

honest life.

Melons And Prunes

The two cont fare laws passed
by the recent Legislatures have
had. as a rule, all the character
istics, including the lack of logic,
of "punitive expeditions" They
were passed in the spirit that the
railroads are pretty wicked, so
let's take a whack at them. There
wasn't much debate, as a rule;
and such as there was abounded
more in fiery rhodomontade than
in statistics to prove that condi-
tions of traffic and population
would permit a reduction in fares.
Legislation passed in this spirit
is properly described as unintelli-
gent; and is, of course, thorough
ly unwise. From those whose
spirit moves them to hit a rail-
road, but whose minds demand a
reasonable iuxtaposition OF cause
and effect, Mr.. Harriman's South
ern Pacific invites attention. The
common stock ofthat road, which
had never paid a dividend, was
placed a year ago, under circum-
stances which yet reyerberate,
upon a five per cent basis, to the
very great profit of Mr.. Hartman.
A few weeks ago the dividend
was raised to six per cent, and
Mr.. Hartman, presumably, was
not absent when the melon was
cut. Consider now the sources
of those dividends, which are,
ultimately, the purses of every
person who ever eats a Riverside
orange or a Santa Clara prune.
The Southern Pacific has, rough
ly, the highest freight rate in the
United States-l.014 cents per
ton per mile compared with an
average of .780 cent per ton per
mile for all the railroads in the
United States. Moreover, ex-
cept in Mr.. Harriman's domain,
freight rates in the United States
have steadily decreased during
the past ten years; Mr.. Hartman
in that period has raised his.
Mounting freight ra es ana sud-
den dividends go not well togeth-
er. Specific examples like this
are the cause for such sweeping
and hysterical anti-railroad stat
utes as ipjure the innocent with
the guilty. Might il not be
profitable for Wall Street itself

own black sheep 2-Collier's Ma

Fallon, Churchill County, Ne

earnings of the company. OF

the expenditures have been s97,'

which at the rate of S1.79
amounts to S529.29. The bull

FINANCIAL CONDITION IN EAST
Tex Richard Says Financial Sit
nation in New York and
Boston Is Bad

Tex Richard of Ely was In Salt
Lake this week or his return
from a trip in the East where he
had failed to place some promis-
ing mining deals. Regarding
present conditions there, he is
quoted by the Salt Lake Herald
as follows:
Everybody in the East, said
Mr.. Rickard, els scared to death.
1t is impossible to get a dollar
from any of the banks and loans
are being called from all sides.
1t makes no difference what kind
of security one has to offer, nor
how urgent the demand is for
real money, the banks won't loan
it, neither will individuals. No
one appears to believe that a panic
is due, but the business situation
is so muddled up and people
are so frightened that something
might happen, that the purse
strings are being drawn tighter
every day. With such a feeling,
it will be remarkable if apanic is
averted.
"The whole country appears to
be prosperous; the danger of a
crop shortage is already past,
and it looks as though all that is
needed is for something to happen
that would restore confidence"
