Boise, Ida, June l3.-The long
cross-examination of Harry Orchard
by the attorneys for the defense con-
tinues In the Haywood trial. Only
once during the day was the monotony
of the examination broken and that
was when Orchard described his at
tempts to kill General Sherman Bell
In Denver. For some twelve nights
he was at Bells residence waiting an
opportunity to shoot him. More than
once Bells life was saved by the bark

Orchard said Meyer ordered him to
let up on Sherman Bell. The pres

turned from California and was in ill
health. He said he wanted nothing
done In Denver while he was here. as

witness. Attorney Richardson again
suggested that Orchard was being
coached by Detective Mcfarland and
counsel for the prosecution and pro-
voked the sharpest wrangle that the
attorney and witness have had IN
their long contest.
Orchard spiritedly denied that he
was being coached and asserted that
he was telling the truth.
Orchard said that he and Pettibone
discussed the project Of killing Judge
Gabbert. but that he alone had started
out to murder Judge Goddard with a
bomb without any suggestion from
Haywood, Meyer or Pettibone except
the general talk of some months be

Wanted the Credit.

Anything in regard to Ethan Allen. the hero of Tlconderoga. Is interesting. but some of the anecdotes told of him make plain the fact that he was not wholly free from human weaknesses. One story. whether true or not, is often told of Allen and is recorded in NIT. Morrllrs Self Consciousness of Noted Persons"
 Ethan Allen was not wont 10 bridle his tongue especially when flushed with success. His bravery was not to be disputed, but sometimes his words were even bigger than his deeds.

ORDEAL AWAITS BRYCE
Members of American Press Lying in
 Wait for British Diplomat

Of all the trials and tribulations that await Ambassador Bryce in Washington there is, according to an article in one of the evening papers today, nothing that begins to compare with that "awe- some institution, the American press. In the Washington correspondents, MT. Bryce is informed, he will encounter foemen not to be overcome with ordin- ary diplomacy. They will treat him, it is predicted, with the same degree of consideration they extend to the presi- dent and the members of his cabinet, and no more, and will decline to con slider any proposition that he be made an exception to their rule that nothing and nobody is sacred
 MT. Bryce is advised to profit by the experience of his predecessors and. on this point the writer of the article re marks:
 "When that austere but splendid dip, lomat, Lord Pauncefote, first came to Washington, imbued with the British statesman s ideas of journalistic ethics the ordeal he was compelled to face from constant free and easy assaults by busy newspaper men during the Venezuelan crisis almost maddened him Had it not been for the presence of his secretary, the indefatigable penmer would probably have driven him iron the country Even to the day of his death he was never able to get along with the American press, but just be fore his death he consented to be tn, guest of honor of the Gridiron club.

OLD PUZZLE ABOUT CHECKS
When They Could Not Be Drawn In Favor cf Any One Person.

whth hnes touiu Nos "" H'N''.' - -
 Favor cf Any One Person.
 Discussing, at the London Kings col lege Gilbart lectures on banking, the rise of the bank check system, Sir John Paget, K. C.. had the following to say:
 "The origin of crossing checks Is well known. It began in the clearing house for the convenience of those em- ployed there. and then 1t began to be adopted by the general public. There was no statutory interpretation, no statutory sanction: still. when done by the drawer of check, 1t had some eff feet. If man drew a check on his banker and wrote across 1t the name of another banker he obviously meant his banker to understand something by It. He meant to convey something to the clearing house and looking at the natural meaning of writing another bankers name across the check. one might be inclined to say that the req sonable Interpretation was that the customer forbade his banker to pay the check except to or through the medium of that banker.
 But in those days and indeed later judges and lawyers could not reconcile this interpretation with the continued negotiability of the check. All checks were up to 1853 made payable to bear CT, and the objection was: How can a check be at the same time payable to bearer and only payable to a specified banker? Ie it be payable to banker, why cannot the bearer demand pay ment of 1t himself over the counter? We know better now. We know that no crossing, except the Not negotiable one, in any way affected the full ne probability of the check. but in those days the problem was terrible stun bling block. Consequently, as pointed out by Lord Cairns in Smith and the Union bank, the crossing prior to statutory enactment amounted only to caution or warning to the paying banker to exercise special care If he paid the check otherwise than to 2 banker. for they drew no distinction in the days prior to 1858 between q special and a general crossing.
 "That was so even after the first act in 1856. All that the crossing. whether special or general. amounted to was as l say, to warn the banker to b' careful if he paid the check direct tC the bearer. If he took no precautions he might be liable to his customer or the ground of negligence if the pay ment were to person with no titl' and the customer suffered loss there | by"
