OUTLINES THE MINERS PLAN
Prosecutor Hawley Was Their First
Counsel.
GODFATHER OF THE FEDERATION
Lawyer Refutes the Charge That the
Union Is an Organization to
Foster Murder.

BOISE, June PA great crowd gathered
this morning in the room where William
D. Haywood is on trial to hear the speech
OF Clarence barrow of Chicago, outlining
the purpose of the defense in combating
the evidence put in by the state. The for
malities of opening the session at al end
Mr.. barrow at once took up his place di-
rect!y in front Of the twelve solemn visaged
men in the jury box and began in a slow
mellow drawl characteristic Of him to state
the theory and plan of the defense to be
offered for his client.
Mr.. Darrow reminded the jurors of tn
instruction given them by the court that
they re to keep their minds, entirely open
as to he guilt or innocence of the accused
man until all the evidence of both sides
has been introduced.
Play of the Defense
"You have listened to the theory and
the evidence of the state" Mr.. barrow pro-
ceeded. Mr.. Hawley has covered a wide
ground in his opening for the STATE and
we will have to meet him step by. step. The
defendant here is charged nominally with
the murder of former Gov. Steunenberg
There had to be some nominal charge. But
the state has told you the case rests upon
among others is a part.
THE states attorneys have told you the
murder of Gov. Steunenberg was but an
incident. They have told you the Western
Federation of Miners was an organization
to commit murder, to control politics, to
hire lawyers, and other criminal things.
Part of this is true; part of it is not
true. 1t is true there is labor organiza-
ton known the Western Federation of
Miners. 1t is true the Western Federation
of Miners has spent money for lawyers.
1t was unfortunate but most people have
to employ lawyers at some time or an
other.
History Of the Federation.
When this organization was really born
was in 1s92-1s93, right down in a cell be-
meath this courtroom where Ed Boyce, the
first president, was a prisoner, and where
now the three men charged with this
murder are awaiting the judgment of this
jury.
To start out with they hired lawyers and
they hired the best they could. They
hired Mr.. Hawley, now the leading coun-
sci for the state. Mr.. Hawley laid out the
plan of their organization for them; he
advised them he was the godfather Of the
Western Federation of Miners, and the
men who formed the organization thought
it was an innocent undertaking. Mr.
Hawley was their first attorney and con-
tinued as their attorney for a long time.
II there was anything criminal in their
appropriating money for lawyer the min
ers did not know it,
The Western Federation of Miners is
an industrial, not a murderous, organiza-
ton.

Young Estes Habits.

Elizabeth Loving is nineteen yeals old,
vigorous and athletic, and weighs 100
pounds. Estes had never been particularly
attentive to Miss Loving, although the two
families are said to have been on intimate
terms. His sister, who prior to her mar
riage was Miss Annie Estes, is the wife of
John P Swanson of Danviile, brother of
Gov. Swanson. The habits of Estes were
good, and he generally regarded as
temperate, wel-mannerej and industrious
young man. 1t is said that he was subject
to violent headaches. and that he usually
carried a little whisky with him for the
purpose of obtaining relief from this trou-
BILE. 1t is also stated, as an offset to the
allegation that the whisky given to NJ IS
Loving was drugged that the whisky left
in the bottle after the return of the cou-
pie was afterward given to negro youth.
who drank the whole of it without SUI
fering any visible inconvenience.
1t has been stated that some startling teS-
timony will be adduced when the case act
ually comes to trial. In this connection 1t
is rumored that the morals of young rs
ties were not as good as his friends would
have the public believe. 1t has been stated
and the statement has never been denied
that Miss Loving will not be the only young
woman who will be called upon to testify
in the case. In this connection it is ru-
mored that young Estes had on at least two
previous occasions attempted to drug and
wrong young girls, and that one Of his
would-be victims will take the stand during
that startling things will be heard when
Judge Loving's side OF the case is pre-
Sented.
Miss Loving to Testify.
The real story of the circumstances lead
ing to the shooting Of young Estes by her
father will fall from the pretty lips of Miss
Elizabeth Loving. Along what line she will
testify time alone can tell. 1t is for her to
say whether Estes offered her any indigni-
ties. If Estes was guilty of the crime laid
at his door, her course will be easy to de-
termine. In that event there is scarcely
any doubt that Judge Loving will be ex-
onerated of blame. for it is conceded that
Virginia jury will not find guilty a man
who has taken life under provocation such
this On the other hand, however if
Estes was innocent, she will be required to
choose between her love for her father
and his liberty, and possibly his life, and
her natural honesty in dealing fairly with
the name of a man who is dead. The en-
tire state is awaiting her testimony with ILL
concealed interest, for thereby hangs the
fate of the case and of Judge Loving.

HIGH WATER SERVICE
Engineers Making Surveys For
 Difficult Piece of Work.

Engineers are making surveys for the extension of the hlg, water ser vice from Dublin street to Highland avenue and the work will be started soon. It will cross Washington street and Washington avenue and will be quite difficult piece of work From a point east of the residence of Mrs Bacon, on Washington street, it will be rock cutting almost to Baldwin street, and then when they get to Washington avenue, two rivers and two railroads will have to be crossed. It is work that is badly needed and the sooner it is finished the better ev- erybOdy will like it. At the present time there is practically no service ill some places on the high ground ill that district, and 1t has been so for long time. During the past week the service failed in some houses where it never before gave out and nobody ap- pears to be able to tell the reason Why One morning it commenced to drop at 7:3O o'clock and kept disap- bearing until late in the afternoon, when 1t had dropped fifteen pounds below the normal pressure This left some without any service. An inves- tigation was made but nothing was f0und out or order Such things hap pen once in q while and these occur rences lead many to conclude that there is some truth in the inference so often made that mains are connected With the service that none of the of hcials know anything about and when they are. worked to their full capacity something is bound to drop and invariably it turns out to be the big gauge in the office on Benedict street. What other way can this sud- den drop in the pressure be accounted for. If there is nobody ever offered It. Of course it has been so for a long time that some cannot get water unless they draw it before the shops start, but the case referred to in the south end is new in the sense that re- gently more have been effected than ever before. All this trouble will be removed when the high service thun- ders across Washington street enrOute to Town Plot. where 1t will gladden. the hearts of thousands who have been waiting and watching and pray. ing to see it for many years. {

BETTS SCARED WOMEN
But He Had 10 Pay $1O and Costs
 For the Privilege.

Benjamin Betts, an emplOye of the Waterbury Clock company was out late last night. He had been drink ing and about 12:30 o'clock he saw a team containing three women come up North Main street. Officer Dow ling saw Betts, but did not consider him intoxicated enough to be arrest ed. This was on North square.
 When the team was opposite Betts he ran for it with shout. It stop ped at the watering trough and he ran over and caught the horses head. All the women screamed, but the cld- est, who proved to be Mrs Elizabeth Hoethke of Bucks hill, jumped out and was about to lay her whip on to Betts, when Officer Bowling came up. The other women were Gussie and Bertha, daughters of Mrs Hoethke. Bertha tainted and between the screaming women and the half drunken man and the horse that was scared, Officer Bowling had more than his hands full. But Officer J. Walsh came along then and they brought the unconscious girl to her senses with liberal lebations fro mthe watering trough. But she was so weak she had to be carried to Pentino's fruit store and there she tainted again.
 Betts told Judge Burpee in court that he supposed the parties in the buggy were his wife and friends and that they shouted to him to come along. He said also that he had been employed by the Waterbury Clock company for sixteen years and has not lost two weeks work in that time. He was fined $10 and costs.

CHARITY BAZAAR
This VIII Be Foresters' Night
 at City Hall.

A large outpouring of the foresters of the city is looked for at the charity bazaar in the City hall tonight. The night has been set apart out of def erence to the wishes of the various chief rangers of the local courts anu a substantial representation from ey- cry court Is expected. The entertain mcnt will consist of an exhibition py the Waterbury Turn Nerein N0rwaerts and St Annes Parochial school. The Vorwaerts will present. some new turns and as they have always proved a popular attraction wherever Mey have appeared this part of the pro gram will probably be decidedly satis- factory. The parochinl school pupils have had rehearsals under competent instructors for several weeks past and will give an excellent account or themselves. The dancers who have tried the City ball floor, during the bazaar have been loud in their praise of it. There is plenty of dancing each evening, the entertainments being of comparatively short duration. To morrow night will be Eagles night at the bazaar.
 One of the corners at the bazaar that is attracting more than ordinary attention is the booth of the St Mary's T. A. society Miss Jennie O'Nelll is in charge and she is ably assisted by Miss Daisy Lord and other members of the society. This booth is patron- ized by the thirsty aud hungry as we'll as by those who suffer, neither from hunger or thirst, but who wish to show their good will. It is pleasant place to sit for few moments and watch the busy canvassers, the gay dancers and the liberal sight-seers, as one Quaffs cool orangeade, nib bles at,a chicken sandwich or enjoys dish of delicious ice cream. This booth no doubt will make as good q showing at the close as any of the other booths, and of course it should, for those in charge are performing their work faithfully.
 In addition to the regular program tomorrow evening at the charity ba- zaar, Miss Edith Meyers will render ''The Holy City" Raymond Hebert will be the accompanist.
