George 3. Cortelyou.
Cabinet Member Who Rose
From the Ranks to be
Pushed as New York's
Favorite Son Against
Gov. Hughes
Washington Bureau Of
The Ottumwa Courier

Washington, d. c., June "a.
Presidential gossip is conjuring just
now with two names, both Of which
are expected to receive in the future
more consideration than has been &C
corded in the past. They are George
3. Cortelyou, conservative, and Robert
M. .LaFollette, radical.
The truth Ii that announcement s,i
something like definite CoItelyou
movement in New York is expected to
take place before long. Cortelyou is to
be used as a rallying point for the
anti-Hughes favorlte son sentiment in
New York
It mas recently become apparent
that the empire state Is determined to
have presidential candidate of its
own, and furthermore that Hughes is
very strong. He is strong partly in
spite Of the Presidents opposition and
partly because Of that opposition. He
is enjoying just now the support OF
many powerful elements in his home
state, that would be opposing him II
1t were not for the fact that the gov
ernor and the President are under
stood to be on bad terms. Elements
that normally would nave no use for
either the President or Hughes are dis
posed to find in the governor an instru.
ment for revenging themselves against
Mr.. Roosevelt Whence the strange
spectacle Of Odell and Hartman sus,
tanning the governor. It is not that
they love Hughes more, but Roose'
velt less.
Only Chance to Beat Hughes.
Aside from all these aspects, Gov.
ernor Hughes is strong with the peo-
pie of mis- state because Of his record
He has done things. He had made
good. !, He is interesting to the politi.
clans primarily, because they know
his accomplishments have given him
a hold on the people. He has become
so strong that 1t is now recognized by
politicians that there is no chance to
prevent New York giving him Its ma.
tional delegation, except by bringing
another strong New Yorker into the
field, and throwing to him the strength
Of the national administration.
Secretary Cortelyou is the New
Yorker WHO looks good to the conserv-
ative interests in the party. He has
been for a long time cultivating the

crashed into the rear Of work train
that was backing into the city from
New Britain last night at the Sigour-
ney street crossing. OF. the injured.
two probably will die.
Three Versions Of Wreck.
There are three versions of the
cause of the wreck. One is that the
passenger train for New Britain went
out on the wrong track. The second is
that the work train had the right Of
way until o'clock and should have
had clear track, the passenger train
being ahead of time at that time. The
third is that the work train opened a
switch and failed to close it.

CLAIMS
BIG PLOT TO
OVERTHROW
MINERS
Counsel in Defense Of Hay
wood Says Orchard Was
Promised Immunity If
He Would Convict
Federation Men
on Perjured
y III
Testimony

Boise, Idaho, June 24.-The Hay
wood trial was resumed this morning
when Clarence Darrow began his open
Ing address in behalf Of the defense.
Darrow, as attorney for Haywood,
argued that his client Is not only not
guilty Of conspiracy to assassinate
Frank Steunenberg, former governor
of Idaho, Dut that Haywood Is In fact
the victim of conspiracy to disrupt
the Western Feder> ION of Miners and,
under the guise Of legal procedure,
.Sondemn to death the chief officers
of tbs federation, Of which Haywood
Is the secretary and one of his code
PENDANTS under the Indictment is the
president.
He asserted that Haywood, by sheer
force Of character, rose from the hum
BILE position of miner working for
day wages to become the secretary
and treasurer of labor organization
with upward of $4,000 members; that
Haywood was elected to Office by the
members of the Western Federation
Of Miners through successive terms OF
Office because of his ability and his
honesty.
Mr. Darrow did not attempt to deny
that many foul crimes have been COM
mitted He did not deny that Steun-
enberg was assassinated, but he main
tanned that his Client had nothing to 10
with this or any other murders, and
that the state has not connected Hay.
wood with this conspiracy.
Motive for Conspiracy.
He charged conspiracy on the part
of the Mine Owners association, with
large membership and unlimited
money behind it, who, finding tho
Western Federation of Miners inimical
to the mine owners, plotted to
wreck the western federation and by
conspiracy with detectives and 9TH
ers. create such feeling against the
federation that governors Of states ami
even the federal government would be
willing to help the mine owners to
drive the members OF the federation
from the land.
It will be asserted that the Orchard
story was true only in that the crimes
were committed. In his speech 70
the court on Saturday last Mr. Oar
row intimated that there was not even
proof, other than the statement of Or
chard, that Orchard committed the
crimes he has enumerated.
1t was asserted that the conspiracy
as between Haywood, Meyer, Petit
bone, Orchard. and Adams was fabri-
cation Of Orchards, who in order to
save his life brought the others into
it, and that the price of the confession
was the pardon of the actual murderer
of Steunenberg.
Why Orchard Hated Victim.
The motive OF this murder, it was
asserted, is to be found in Orchards
desperate poverty and the fact that he
saw his old partners in the Hercules
mine rich and prosperous, while he
a hunted criminal, robbed tills and at.
tempted burglary in order to replenish
his pocket.
