ORCHARD STILL ON The STAND

Boise, Idaho, June III. The attack
Of the Haywood defense on the testi-
imony OF Harry Orchard goes on and
the witness will probably be continued
on the stand for two full days more.
Orchard withstands the strain with
remarkable fortitude and at, the end
of six days shows no indication Of
mental or physical fatigue. ss$ s2}.
This day began with the story Of the
dynamiting Of Fred Bradley in San
Francisco and the defense made a
long and determined effort to expose
several features Of It to doubt and i'm
probability and to vitiate it by reveal
ing the hand Of the Pinkertons. "a
Then they went back to Denver for
the winter Of 19O4-05, and the spring
that followed and there was an ex-
tended effort to show that Orchard
had practically no communicati
with leaders Of the federation; that he
received no pay for the Bradley crime

or anything else, and that with Steve
Adams in period Of extreme poverty
extending over several months he was
reduced to the necessity Of stealing
sheep from the Globesville stockyards
that he might have food. "
Orchard, before leaving the court
room, confessed that he stole 1.-The
sheep, but denied that it was from nee
essity. He insisted that all through
that supposedly hard winter and
spring he continued to draw money
from Pettibone and he explained tina!

POOR GIRL
WITNESSES TELL OF ABUSES OF
DEAD DOMESTIC BY HER
RICH MISTRESS.

Flandreau, S. d., June 11.-Peter
Erickson, former hired man for Mrs
Kaufman of Sioux Falls, and star
witness for the prosecution in the
trial of Mrs. Kaufman was placed on
the stand this afternoon. He told of
an occasion when Agnes Polreis was
jostled to the floor of a storm house
by Mrs. Kaufman and being very
weak, was prevented from rising, &C
cording to witness, by Mrs Kaufman.
Erickson testified that Mrs. Kaufman
prevented him from going to the as
sistance of the girl.
Mrs. T. ]. Udell, a near neighbor
of Kaufman, testified to having OBJ
served a number of incidents tending
to show that the girl was roughly
treated by Mrs. Kaufman.

pounds Of dynamite which they lugged
home at night and buried in their
cellar. + 81 rs
The crime was abandoned, Orchard
said, ID one Of those flashes that made
his testimony remarkable, because
Haywood interviewed and forbade him
to haye anything to do with it.
Carrying out the lines of the testi-
mony to show that Orchard, regard
less OF the great hold which it is pre-
sumed he had on the Federation lead
ers, was frequently without funds, the
defense showed that from late in 1903
until the middle OF 1904 Orchard con.
tinually drew strike relief at Cripple
Creek, and then dramatically invited
Orchard to explain the inconsistency
to the jury. Orchard replied that Hay
wood, Meyer, Parker and Davis all ad-
yised him to draw on the relief. be-
cause If he did not he would excite
suspicion. 15 1. 4; &.
The examination next covered a re.
view of the earlier attempt on the life
Of Governor Peabody, of bombs to kill
him, and plots against Judges Gabbert
and Goddard, with an effort every.
where TO cast doubt upon the testi.
mony of the witness.
/ Orchard told dramatic story Of the
/ first attempt to assassinate Peabody
Of the early morning drive through
| the snow to place the bomb and wait
for the victim, who was saved by the
unexpected appearance of two coal
| wagons, that, coming from an alley
way were driven across the trippel
string at the moment that Peabody
was crossing the mine field.
Orchard, who confessed that he hest
tated not, but took a hundred desper
ate chances in those crimes, made al
interesting contribution to psycholo
! gical study Of his personality when h,
| called himself coward. He said h,
4 was too cowardly openly to kill Judg

Washington, June 11.Develop-
ments since the conference at the
White House last Friday evening in
which the president and Attorney
General Bonaparte, Secretaries Root.
Taft, Cortelyou and Garfield, Inter-
state Commission Knapp and Lane
and United States Attorney Kellogg
of st. Paul, participated, make it prob
able that the government will begin
proceedings under the antitrust act
against e. H. Hartman and his assoc
ciates for violations of the law in con-
nection with the so-called Chicago &,
Alton railroad deal, Union & Southern
Pacific transactions, and perhaps its
connection with the Southern Pacific
and San Pedro traffic agreement. %
The contemplated prosecution of
the bituminous coal carrying roads,
however, will likely await the results
of the action by the courts in the
cases to be brought against the Harri-
man roads. 1t is explained that there
are some important questions that are
common to both cases and therefore,
it is asserted, suits against the btu
minous coal roads will not be brought
until the courts have rendered judg-
ment in the Hartman cases.
In the event of an adverse decision
as to these common points and should
the government decide that the law,
as it stands, is inadequate fully to
cover them it is more than. prabable
that the next congress will be asked to
amend the law so as to meet the
present situation.

+ Washington, June 11-Secretary
Root today positively declined to
make any statement respecting the
Japanese situation. This was with
full knowledge of the uneasiness that
exists in financial circles as a result
of the circulation of war rumors.
1t may be said, however, that the
secretary's refusal was based sole
ly upon his &unwillingness to accord
the rumors Official note and not upon
any belief on his part that there is
the least danger of war, or even of
breach of fraternal relations that
now exist between America and ia
pan. H
The fact is that in official minds the
present agitation is nothing more
than the working of internal Japan
csc politics, the strenuous opposition
party in Japan in seeking for wea-
pons to attack the party in power,
appealing to the popular pride of the
Japanese.

ces that have been conveyed the Off

POLICE LOOKING FOR HIM
Grabs Young Woman on South g,
Near John Bayer's Residence and
Quickly Runs Away After She Had
Struggled and Screamed.

Although they have anything but an
accurate description of the ruffian, the
police are securing the city in their
search for man who attempted to
commit feloniouS assault upon a
well known young woman residing on
the south side Tuesday evening. The
woman in question had been paying
a visit to neighbor, and was hurrying
along South B street between Seventh
and Eighth, when man sprang out of
an alley and seized her by the throat.
He attempted to drag her back into
the darkness of the alley. but she sue
ceeded in breaking away from him, and
gave vent to several piercing screams,
which aroused the entire neighbor-
hood. Before any of the men who re-
sponded to her cries for assistance,
could reach the spot, however, the
wretch made good his escape.
The young woman told the police
that she was unable to get a good look
at the face of her assailant owing to
the darkness, but said that he was of
medium height, and rather poorly
dressed. She is not sure that she
would be able to identify him if he
was brought before her.

Mrs Thaw's voice trembled a.

of her testimony.
The cross-examination was ex-

During the cross-examination, the

his chief. He made very full notes of
the testimony and compared what
