theater Of the events leading up to the
trial are about evenly divided in senti-
ment regarding the Moyer-Haywood-
Pettibone prosecution. Half of the peo-
pie, it is said, believe that these men
are guilty of conspiring to bring about
the murder of Ex-Governor Steunen-
berg, as charged in the Indictment
The other half is said to hold that the
state officials, the mine owners and the
Pinkerton detectives have conspired to
convict these men, the chief officers Of
the Western Federation Of Miners, as
a blow to union labor
Public interest in the matter is
heightened by the recent expressions
of President Roosevelt in defense of
his course in characterizing Meyer and
Haywood as undesirable citizens"
This correspondence has shown that
members of many labor unions
throughout the country have contrib
uted to a fund for the defense of the
indicted men and that there is in ex-
lstence strong organization which de-
clares that the accused never shall be
hanged.
The present writer will undertake
merely to present the facts in the case
to date without bias. These facts
make up an amazing story of re-
peated assassination by conspiracy.
Through some diabolical agency at
least twenty-six men have been MUIR
dered in mysterious ways in the west
during the past ten years. Somebody
or some set of men did it. The VIC
tins are dead. Who caused their
deaths?

Farmers Meetings.

The American Society of Equity
will hold two meetings on Thursday,
May 16, one in the afternoon at the
court house, Princeton, and the other
in the evening at the M. B. A. hall,
Wyanett. R. H. Aldrich, secretary of
the Minnesota state union, will be
present to address the audience.
These are not meetings for farmers
alone, but for every person who be-
lieves in equity. Farmers should at
tend and learn how to secure fair
prices for their products. Merchants
are also invited to be there for the
purpose of ascertaining how to in
crease business.
These are important meetings, so
do not fail to attend.

Student Unrest In japan.

The very fact that the students are
more affected by the moral unrest than
any other class of society suggests the
important explanation that the spirit
ual crisis of the nation is at its dawn
and that the students have first been
overtaken by it because they are the
most susceptible and least responsible
class Of persons, says X. Asakawa in
May Atlantic. If this be true one may
reasonably expect that their unrest will
become clearer and steadier and will
soon spread over their brethren in the
remoter parts of the country, and that
it will, what is more, irresistibly in
wade other classes Of society. In what
form and order this will take place is
unknown, but who can say that he
may not yet live to see greater and
more universal moral chaos in Japan
than is today evident to those who
have eyes to see?

"HE eyes of the world are upon
X Idaho. At the little town of
Caldwell in that new common
wealth of Uncle Sans great
northwest the most important murder
trial Of modern times is to occupy the
attention Of judge and jury.
Notwithstanding the prodigious mass
OF matter published about the recent
Thaw trial in New York, that case was
insignificant as compared with the
trial of William D. Haywood, Charles
a. Meyer and George A. Pett1bone, set
to begin May 9, charged with the as
sassination of Frank Steunenberg. The
Thaw case was merely a private af-
fair, homicide growing out of rela-
tOns between two men and a woman.
In the Idaho trial millions of citizens
are vitauy concerned because the pros
ecution Of these men grows out of a
memorable clash between organized la
Dor and organized capital.
Cut down to it's skeleton, this case is
merely plain murder trial under the
laws Of state. But such are the cir
cumstances antecedent to the prosecu-
ton that it has come to be regarded by
many thousands of men as culminat-
ing incident in the struggle of employ
ers to destroy trades unionism. Wheth-
er the trial Of Haywood and his associ-
ates will bring out any foundation for
such an assumption remains to be
seen. 1t is believed that the people of
Idaho, Colorado and half a dozen
ne1ghboring states which formed the

1899, having served two terms of two
years each. He returned to his home
in Caldwell, where he was a bank
president. During the next six years
he frequently received communications
notifying him that he was to be killed
because Of his course in dealing with
the rioting miners. The ex-governor,
who was a man Of remarkable ply
sique, seven feet tall and erect as an
Indian, had no fear. He was living
happily with his wife and children
when on the evening of Dec. 80, 1905,
he walked home to eat supper with his
family at the usual hour.
When the big ex-governor opened his
front gate there was violent explo-
sion. His body, torn to shreds, was
found many feet away. The gate,
fence, sidewalk and the front part Of
the house were wrecked. Nobody had
thrown a bomb. It was evident that
the victim had set off a hidden infer
nal machine by opening the gate. So
iendishly contrived had been the plot
that Steunenberg had been forced to
kill himself at his own gate.
Caldwell is small town. The three
or four strangers who were in town at
the time were arrested. All but one
Harry Orchard, could account for
their presence. Orchard had been stay
ing at the local hotel several weeks. In
his room were discovered a sawed off
shotgun and several of the ingre-
dients Of bomb making. He was taken
to the state capital at Boise and placed
in prison.
Veteran Detective, but Active.
Then came upon the scene remark
able man, a man with a record. He
was James MCFARLAND, aged sixty-two,
manager Of the Pinkerton Office at
Denver. Just thirty years before he
had succeeded in breaking up the infa:-
nous Molly Mcguire conspiracy of
murderers in the Pennsylvania mining
| region. His work as detective there
resulted in the hanging Of eleven men
and the imprisonment Of more than
| thirty. For many years he had been
lost to public view. The Pinkertons
had given him what was considered an
easy berth at Denver because of his
age. But the veteran was still active.
MCFARLAND after many days wormed
a complete confession out Of Harry
Orchard. 1t required three days for
him to write down the confession YER
batim. Orchard confessed that he had
placed the bomb which killed Steunen-
berg at the direct instance Of the sin-
ner circle" of the Western Federation
Of Miners, which, according to Or
chard, included President Meyer, Sec.

Walked Over a Bomb For Years.

Detective MCFARLAND is said to. have
Investigated personally the main points
in Orchards confession and to have
found actual corroboration of the story.
A very dramatic incident took place in
Denver when Orchards confession was
being read there. Justice Goddard Of
the supreme court was present. Or
chard had told Mcfarland that on a
certain occasion he had planted bomb
at Goddards gate so that the jurist
would explode it upon opening the
gate. The assassin was unable to ex-
plain why the bomb did not explode.
When his intended victim heard the
reading Of this part Of the confession
he excused himself and went home.
There he discovered the screweye still
in the gate, as Orchard had said. An
acid ingredient in the bomb had eaten
away the connection, thus saving the
life Of Justice Goddard. For years he
and his family and many others had
been walking over the bomb.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone were
arrested in Denver, placed in special
train and taken to Idaho on a requlsi-
ton from the governor of that state.
This quick action is called 'kidnap-
ing'' by the sympathizers with the
prisoners. The United States supreme
court, however, has decided that it was
legal.
Owing to the fact that Idaho has no
statute for prosecuting accessories the
indicted men are to be tried as princi-
pals to the murder of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg.
Haywood is called "the brains of the
federation."

of Idaho's Ex-Governor

er thousands regarded him as brave
firm soldier in the right place.
In Idaho it was deemed necessary by
Governor Steunenberg to call for feder-
al troops, the state militia being then
In the service of the United States in
the Philippines. Negro soldiers were
supplied, under command Of General
Merriam. At one time they had ap-
proximately 800 miners corralled in a
"bull pen." The troops were called for
after two of the largest mills in the
mining district were blown up by union
miners, who had been thwarted in their
efforts to make the mines "closed
shops"
Shot Down as They Ran.
The Bunker Hill mill, which cost
100000, was totally destroyed by dy-
Mantle. The attacking party, it was
said at the time, numbered 1000 union
men. They captured Northern Pa
cifc train and.forced the crew to take
them to the mine, stopping on the way
to load on eighty boxes of dynamite.
The nonunion men employed at the
mine had been armed and drilled for
defense, but they fed upon the ap-
proach of the attacking force. Some
Of them were shot down as they ran.
When Governor Steunenberg heard of
this outrage he made an investigation
and called for federal troops. Some Of
the men whom the troops arrested and
put in the ''bull pen" vowed vengeance
against Governor Steunenberg.

Many Confined In "the. Bull Per. y

The Western Federation of Miners
was organized in 1S93 The fedora
t1on endeavored to unionize the min
ers of Colorado, Idaho, Utah and sew
sral other western states. Incidental
to these efforts there were many seri-
GUS disturbances. These were not
merely strikes. They were wars. In
Idaho and Colorado troops were called
out and were on duty many months.
The Idaho troubles, in the famous
Occur dAlene mining district, took
place eight years ago. The Colorado
affairs covered an extended period
about six years ago. At Cripple Creek,
Victor. Telluride and other mining
centers in that commonwealth the
state militia, under General Sherman
Bell, arrested hundreds of union min
ers and confined them in a structure
which was known as 1.-THE bull pen.'
General Bell achieved wide notorietv

bone, who had been chairman Of the
executive committee. Orchard also i'm
plicated u. j. Simkins and Steve Adj
ans, two other miners. Simkins, he
said had been at Caldwell and had as
sisted him in arranging for the de-
struction Of the ex-governor. Adams
| had been concerned in various other
murders, all of which, according to
Orchard, were planned and instigated
by the federation chiefs.

clears UP at least twenty-six unex-
planned murders during the past ten
years, all Of which he attributes to the
federation officials, he and Adams be-
ing used to carry out the plans of "the
men higher up"
The blowing up Of the Independence
railroad station in the Cripple Creek
district, which killed fourteen non
union miners. was one Of the crimes
to which Orchard confessed. Another
was the assassination of the superin-
tendent and foreman by bomb ex-
ploded in the Vindicator mine. Still an
other was the killing Of several non
union miners by the dropping of a
This was supposed to be accidental,
but Orchard said it was the result of a
plot.
Justice. Gabbert's Narrow Escape
Orchard confessed that he was re-
sponsible, with the federation leaders,,
for the death Of Bartlett Valley, a
mining assayer in Colorado. A bomb
had been buried under a path across a
vacant lot in Denver along which
Chief Justice Gabbert Of the state su-
preme court made a short cut every
day in walking to his Office. Justice
Gabbert had rendered decision
against the federation. Orchard, ac-
cording to his story, was employed to
kill the jurist. He planted the bomb
SO that it would be exploded when the
first passerby should pick up a purse
lying in the path. Orchard had stud
led the movements of his intended vic
tim and had attached the purse to the
bomb just before the expected appear
ance of Justice Gabbert. 1t happened
that on that day the justice took an
other route. Valley rode along on
bicycle, dismounted, picked up the
purse and was blown to pieces.
Orchard confessed that he had made
many attempts to kill Governor Pea
body of Colorado, but had failed so
often that he grew superstitious and
refused to try again.
Steve Adams was arrested in Oregon,
tried in Idaho and sent to the peniten-
tiary at Boise for seventeen years for
one Of the MURDERS. After his convic-
tion he also made a confession, which
Is said to tally with that of Orchard in
the main points, but is even more con-
vincing and sensational. 1t is said that
Adams has retracted his confession, de-
claring that he made his first statement
under duress. Orchard is said to have
become demented since making his
confession. These things naturally will
aid the defense.

France is in danger of losing its
distinction as the greatest silk pro-
ducing nation of the world. ThI
rapidity with which the industry has
increased in the United States during
the last few years is shown that there
has been an Increase between 1900
and 1905 in the capital invested of
more than So per cent, making the
total money invested in the silk In
dustry exceed s10s, 100000 Women
workers are benefting by this growth,
for in the fve-year' period 1t was
found that the proportion of men and
bows employed increased greatly there
being being a proportionate increase
in the cotton industry, for the census
bureau has discovered that women
and children are gradually being dis
placed by men, on account OF the IN
creasing speed of machinery and the
necessity for one person looking after
large number of machines.
