THE DRA6NtT CLOSED
 FULL OF INDICTMENTS
The End of Long and Busy Session of the Federal Grand Jury at Dem yer.

Denver, Colo. June 22.-As a result of the work of the special grand jury which closed its sessions today and re- ported to Judge Lewis. about seventy indictments against men prominent in Colorado. Wyoming. Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada and the eastern states, including Wisconsin and Missouri, were returned, principally for coal and timberland frauds, although a few all legged mining fakirs and a couple of cases of postoffice robberies were also included in the list.
 Judge Lewis absolutely refused to give out any of the names of the in dicted until the arrests are made, but it is known that several lumber com pany men, high in the social. political and financial affairs of Denver have been indicted for the alleged thefts of timber lands, while the inter mediaries, some less scarcely promi- nent are also in the dragnet.
 As a result of the Routt county coal frauds a coal mining company of Wis consin will have to answer for alleged thefts on a wholesale basis. A St. Louis corporation is said to be indicted for coal operations in Colorado. Other states are represented in the list of indictments.

Haywood and other leaders of the Federation.
 On the general question of the con- spiracy, set up in allegations by the state, the general showing has been as follows: Orchard has been traced through all the more important move ments connected with the alleged at tempt on the life of Fred Bradley at San Francisco, by independent wit nesses. His story of the poisoned milk has been carried down to a chem ist who analysed it. It has been inde pendently shown that while Orchard was at San Francisco. PettibOne, using false names, telegraphed money to him twice. and that a registered letter or package was sent to San Francisco from Pettibone's Denver address under one of the names used by Pettibone in sending telegraphic remittances. Oth- ef than by Orchards word, it has not been shown that the Bradley explo- sion was caused by a bomb.
 The casing of the Peabody bomb has been produced and its history is largely proved by outside witnesses from the time it was made in Denver until it was dug out of the ice in the Occur d'Alenc river
 Orchards story of his journey to Canon City to kill Peabody was given general confirmation by the evidence O. Wm. Vaughn. who was Orchards travelling companion. Orchard went to Canon City ostensibly as an insur- aEce agent and the state has produced a letter of recommendation written to the insurance company for him by Pettibone.
 The discovery of the Goddard bomb has been established. but the earlier history of the bomb and all the plot centering around it rests upon the tes- tip1ony of Orchard. The reason for the animus against Justices Goddard and Gabhert has been shown by wit nesses adverse to Mover and the miners interests in Colorado.
 Orchards story Of his first descent into the Vindicator mine is corrobo- rated by the eager. whom orchard en- countered and attempted to kill.
 Orchards testimony as to the Inde- pendence station outrage and the mur- der of Detective Lyte Gregory stands practically alone. His story as to the Vindicator outrage is in part sup ported by outside testimony
 Two general circumstances that have claimed general attention are the showing that soon after the Vindicator explosion orchard joined Mover as body guard and accompanied him on a trip to Southern Colorado, and the fact that orchard spent a month as the guest of Pettibone.
 The chief corroboration of Orchard s testimony has been as to the things he did and the time and manner or their doing and it is cOntended by the defense that. aside from his testimony. there is not a single piece of independ- ent evidence against Haywood. or any fact that independently connects Hay

wood with the crime charged or any other crime.

WOOu W1tn the crime cnarSeQ or any other crime.
 Counsel for Haywood will not out line their defense until Monday. but their course during the cross examina- tion, particularly when they laid the foundation for the impeachment of Orchard and the personality of the witnesses they summoned make their general plan quite clear. It is mani- fest that they will endeavor to show that orchard killed Steunenberg to be revenged for the loss of the Hercules mine and several witnesses will swear that they heard Orchard tell the Her cules tale and VOW that he would kill Steunenberg. They will probably show that Jack Simpkins was a prisoner in the "Bullpen" where a negro thrust a bayonet into his chest, circumstances that gave the two a common cause against Steuenberg. There is likely to be showing that all the financial relations of Haywood and Simpkins came in the natural and regular course or conducting the business affairs of the Federation. In this connection as well as to the grants of money and food to orchard and his wife and Steve Adams, the books and records of the Federation will probably be produced.
 Orchards testimony as to the al. legged intimacy of himself and the fed eration leaders. and the story of the events at Cripple Creek will probably be directly controverted by practically all the men named by him. Many of them are now here and expected to take inc stand nd hot h1 jured himself. There will be a gen. eral showing that the movements. acts and attitudes of Haywood. Mover and Pettibone during 1903. 1904 and 1905 were largely at variance and strongly inconsistent with the testi- mony of Orchard.
 The Bradley story will be subjected to severe attack and in this connec- ton the disc-editing story of Brad ley himself will be used. There ex- ists a strong showing that Bradley's house was blown up by a gas explo- sion and not by a bomb. and this will be used to all possible advantage.
 Orchards story about the letters connected with the alleged plan to de- ceive his wife will probably be con- There may be a showing that Orchard did go to Alaska Marion Moore will be a witness for the defense and it is understood that he will directly deny that he carried Orchards letter to Alaska. The legal aid extended to orchard will be explained by a general showing that it has ever been the GUS tom of the federation to provide coun- sel for its members.
 It is expected that Haywood will go on the stand and there will also be strong showing as to his character. The defense has upwards of 150 wit nesses and it is estimated that it VII take from three weeks to a month to present all the testimony.

San Francisco, June 22.-There is no appreciabie change in the telegraph CTS strike tonight. The Western Union and Postal companies have about the same number of men work ing as last night, and are accepting business subject to delay" They state that they expect to increase the force in a few days. The operators claim that 1t will be impossible to se- cure enough operators to handle the business and that the companies are effectually tied up.
 In statements issued tonight it is claimed that four Western Union di- vision chiefs deserted the company to- day and that recruits were coming in all the time. There has been some dis cussion by the business element, of steps towards trying to bring about a settlement through arbitration. but nothing definite has been agreed upon The press wires are being operated without trouble.

REVIEW OF THE CASE
 OF THE STATE OF IDAHO
The Manner in Which the Testimony Of
 Orchard Has Been Sustained
Outline of the Defense by Which the Story will be Denied and the COrrObOrating Evidence Explained Away.

Boise, Idaho. June 22.-The closing of the case of the state leaves the great battle for the life of Haywood in midfield. From now forward the sides change; the defenders will as- sume the aggressive and the prosecu- tors the defensive. The state will carry on it's case by aggressive cross examination and then present testi- mony in rebuttal, but the main prop ositions are already before the jury.
 As to the Steunenberg crime. which is the one specifically charged against Haywood the state has made the fol- lowing showing: Jack Simpson, a member of the executive board of the Western Federation, went to Caldwell three months before Steunenberg was murdered. He travelled under the name of Simmons" and lived with Orchard. He left Caldwell, at the end of weeks stay and later returned for a brief visit of less than day. His presence and movements are shown by independent witnesses and the regis ters of hotels where he stopped.
 Haywood sent s100 to Simpkins nine days before the murder and an un- signed letter, sent from Denver on December 30, 1905, showing by the ad- dress to Thomas Hogan" that the writer knew the alias of Orchard. and contained a statement that it had been sent to Jack"
 Orchard testified that Pettibone wrote the letter. Without making the request legal aid was extended to Or l.. through Attorney Fred Miller of Spo- kane.
 Four letters were sent to the sec ond Mrs. Orchard at Cripple Creek three by Orchard, one by Haywood. at various times, and il is claimed that they not only show evidence of a plan to conceal Orchards whereabouts from his wife, but were part of a plan to make an alibi for him. Orchard swore that Haywood was a party to the plan.
 Haywood's letter to Mrs. Orchard bore the date of the time Orchard and Simpkins were at Caldwell. and made the statement that the writer had heard from Orchard and that he was in Alaska Aside from the word of Orchard Haywood's letter stands alone. There is nothing to show that he was not himself deceived or that he was only helping Orchard in the act of deceiving Mrs. Orchard. Through Orchards letter, runs the sug gestion 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 occas- ions in Denver. between the spring and fall of 1905, and Orchard lived at Pet tibone's house as a guest drring the month of August.

FUNDAMENTAL LAW
 OF THE FEDERATION
Among the Changes Is One Prohibit ing the Entrance Into Labor Con tracts.

Denver, June 22.@The convention of the Western Federation today prac- tically agreed upon a constitutional amendment, providing for a refer endum vote by any local union before a strike is called. Under the present system a strike may be ordered by any union when three-fourths of its resi- dent members vote in favor if this action is ratified by the executive board. The constitution is also to be amended so as to render a member eligible to represent his local as a del- egate to the annual convention after a years membership. Two years mem- bership heretofore mas beel required. An amendment was adopted prohibit ing unions or members of locals from making a labor contract with em- ployers.
 The real fight of the convention has been scheduled for next Monday. It will come over the committee report on the annual statement and recom- mendations of acting President Ma honey. Majority and minority reports will be submitted.
 The Mahoney report cafries a ma jority of the important questions be- fore the convention including the sev- erance of all connection between the federation and the Industrial Workers of the World. Mahoney himself is said to favor a separation of the un- ions.
 The convention this afternoon con- tinued to agree on amendments to the constitution. The most important adopted was one prohibiting bosses. superintendents. lessees. and members of the federation from voting on any question in a meeting of a local un- ion after a strike has been declared.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE
 PfACEABLY INCLINED
The Machinery Adjusted So As te Move
 With the Least Possible Friction
Day Devoted to the Presentation Covering sAs Most of the Features of the Program greed Up- on.

The Hague. June 22.-The leading plenipotentiaries tonight in speaking of the situation at the peace confer ence said to the Associated Press: The machinery is now moving with general satisfaction as all the coun- tries are sincerely animated by a de- sire for a reciprocal understanding and wish to avoid irritating questions, finding for each problem a formula beforehand. acceptable to all. Thus the discussions will certainly be at tended by an earnest endeavor without a disagreeable incident"
 The success of this system has been rendered easier by the questions being entrusted to the most tactful and dis tinguished men. Therefore the Amer ican proposition relating to contracted debts which comprise only those of the private citizens of one country and the government of another, it is pre- dicted. will be adopted with a few slight amendments.
 Mir. Bourgeois. president of the first committee. delivered an eloquent speech today in favor of the princi- pie of arbitration which produced an excellent impression. MT. Bourgeois paid a graceful compliment to the United States and President Roosevelt for their part in setting in motion a new jurisdiction Regarding the task before the commission. of perfecting the convention of 1899. he observed that the rules of 1899 might be modi- fled to a kind of summary procedure.
 M. Bernert in his speech congratu- lated the countries of the American continent in joining Europe in the blessed work of peace which. he says, was a good augury for the success of the conference. The second commit tee was divided into subcommittee. One will deal with the amelioration of the rules of land war. The other will deal with the rights and duties Of neutral powers in the event of war

MERELY RAILROAD OPERATORS.

Sacramento, June 22.-Private ad vices to the union from what is be- lieved a creditable soHrce is that only nine telegraphers are aboard the west bound train reported to be carrying two carloads of strike breakers to San Francisco, according to an Ogden dis patch; that they are brought out by the Southern Pacific company to fill positions in, this city on the railroad company's lines, and that T. R. Jones. of the Sacramento division is making arrangements to meet them. It is as serted by the same authority that two carloads of strike breakers did not leave Chicago or any other place for San Francisco.

TO SET ASIDE A DEED.
An Incident in the Business Career Of
 Ahner Mckinley.

Canton. O. June 22.-R s. Shields. administrator of the estate of Abner Mckinley. today brought suit against Anna Allen. the former wife of Abner Mckinley, and her daughter, Mabel Mckinley Baer. to set aside a transfer of real estate in Canton made by Ab- ner Mckinley to his wife in 1904. Tine averment is that Abner Mckinley was then insolvent and his wife knew 1t, and that the transfer is to deceive the creditors who had claims amounting to s60000.
 The total value is not sufficient to pay the creditors. but a one-fifth share. The William Mckinley estate will probably pay the claims.
