the district. He and his associates
counselled moderation and depre-
Gated violence, doing their best TO
keep the men cool.
He reviewed his connection with
the strike and told of his arrest at
Telluride and refusal OF the militia
to recognize court orders: how he
was harrassed by the militia, and
generally reviewed the entire Grip
pie Creek matter. His testimony
differed but little from that Of nu.
merous others.
Meyer first met Adams at Grip
Pile Creek at a labor picnic. He
met Orchard at headquarters In
Denver January, 1904, but knew lit
tie about him until the trial Of the
train wrecking case In March. He
denied he ever gave Orchard money
for the indicator explosion or any
other act of violence. He never
met Orchard except as member
of the federation and never gave
him money to use Illegally.
He swore Orchard lied wnen he
said he gave him 500 in the hall at
Victor and told him to do every
thing possible to kill "scabs." Wit
ness was positive In his denials all
along the line.
The evidence offered by afi1davit
from San Francisco yesterday con.
firmed still further the contention
Of the defense that the Bradley ex-
plosion was caused by gas and not
by Orchards bomb. It was shown
that q japanese servant was clean
ing the stoop up to few minutes
before the explosion. He would
have seen the bomb had one been
there. Neighbors, other occupants
of the same flat, all testified to
smelling gas after the explosion,
but no powder. Firemen called the
scene swore to smelling gas, and
none of them detected any signs OF
q bomb explosion. One OF the fire.
men accustomed to handling dyna-
mite testified particularly that there
was no indication of the explosive
being used. Carpenters who re-
paired the house found no frag-
ments Of Orchards alleged bomb in
or about the woodwork.
They were all certain that escap-
ing gas caused the damage and
were also sure that but explosion
occurred. In support of the San
Francisco charge brought against
the miners, their enemies nave ad-
vanced theory that there were Q
explosions, 1 caused by gas and the
other by Orchards bomb, but the
parties directly interested In the
explosion give direct evidence to
the contrary.
BY A. A. Swain, a Colorado news
paper man, the defense attempted
to show that Detective MCFARLAND
had tried to manufacture evidence
against the accused. II was claim
ed that Orchard told MCFARLAND
Swain saw him coming out Of .
bank with Haywood after being
paid for his crimes, and that Swain
saw them together. When McPar-
land asked Swain about 1t the
latter could remember nothing OF
the kind. The defense yesterday
offered to prove that MCFARLAND
urged Swain TO remember 1t and
testify for the prosecution.
Introduction of SWANS testimony
was headed off yesterday on .
technicality. but the way was left
open for 1t when foundation has
been laid for what Darrow has to
offer on this point.
Allen f. Gill and wife, OF Spo-
kane, both testified to Orchards
offer to sell them his share in the
Hercules mine. Gill had heard
Orchard blame Steunenberg bitter
ly for being driven out of the

RUMBLTNGS OF WAR

The call made upon Congress
a few days ago to appropriate
money to fortify the Hawaiian
Islands may not be an anticipa
ton of serious trouble wit h Japan
but there is every reason to be-
lieye much uncertainty exists as
to what will be the outcome of
the unfriendly feeling growing
out of the San Francisco school
question. Fortifing Honolulu is
not an unwise preparatory move,
if Secretary Taft is at1all doubt
fui of Japan's attitude, says the
Ogden Standard.
1t will be recalled that the
Russo-Japanese war Was not
opened by formal declaration
of hostilities. Diplomatic re-
lations were not entirely severed
when the Japanese torpedo boats
stole into the harbor of Port
Arthur and disabled a number
of the most formidable warships
of the Russian Asiatic squadron.
This is a lesson to be remem-
bered by the American people.
When Japan has decided to
strike blow against this coun-
try, there will be no premonitory
signs. Some night fleet will
steal past Corrigedor island AT
the mouth of Manila Bay and at
tempt to capture the capital OF
the Philippines, and simultan-
eously warships flying the flag
of the Rising Sun" will appear
off the Golden Gate and, taking
advantage Of Americas unpre-
paredness, lay waste to San Fran
cisco or levy tribute.
When these things have come
to pass, the American people
will be impotent to prevent the
Japanese dominating the Pacific
until the Atlantic squadron is
sent around the Horn or more
battleships are constructed. With
the loss of the Pacific squadron
in the first clash of the navies,
the United States navy would be
inferior to Togo's forces.
