Receiverships For Trusts
a Drastic Remedy.


ECOURSE to receiverships as an aid to the de-
partment of justice and the courts in breaking
up combinations in restraint of trade and in
dissolving monopolies would certainly be A
NOVEL DEPARTURE FROM JUDICIAL
PRECEDENT. I am not prepared to say and
do not say that the proposition is untenable, but,
in my opinion, it would be DRASTIC REM
EDY for the evils sought to be eradicated.
Whether it is within the province Of the
courts to appoint receivers of corporations on
the ground that the corporations in question are
members of an illegal combination in restraint
of trade do not care to venture an opinion.

FRESHMEN ARE
PUNISHED FOR
D|S0bEO|ENCE

Dean Meikletohn OF Brown handed out
stiff sentence 10 the Freshman class
yesterday, forbidding for one year all
representative activities Of tire class, as a
punishment for having n banquet when
forbidden by the dean to do so.
The dean gave the sentence to the class
in person. The freshmen passed a vote
expressing regret that the banquet had
been held under circumstances which call
for such action on the part of the college
authorities.
This will have the effect of cutting out
the sophomore ball, which IL was expect
ed would be one OF the features of the
next college year. and also participation
by all class athletic teams in competi-
tive contests.
The banquet took place week ago last
evening, when the freshmen stole away
TO Vanity Fair and carried off the event
successfully without interruption from
the sophomores. whom they succeeded in
eluding.

Boise Idaho. June hilary Orchard,
by his own admission and out of his own
mouth. was shown yesterday under cross
examination by william ID. Haywood 3
counsel, in new role OF villainy. the at
tempted abduction OF the child of his for
mer partner. Paulson. who aided him in
his hard luck and whose bounty and hos
pitality he was enjoying when he hatched
plan TO steal the little one to force the
payment OF a ransom.
Paulson, once a poor miner. had made
a fortune in the Hercules mine. in which
Orchard held an interest when the prop
erty was not paying; and IL was believed
that II his children were stolen he would
"come through" with $4,000 or $4,000 In
ransom.
Orchard swore that David Coates. for
merly lieutenant governor OF Colorado
and later a publisher I'm Wallace. Idaho
first suggested the kidnapping TO Petit
bone and himself at Denver. Orchard
said that when he went to north Idaho
he got Jack Simpkins to enter the plot
and together they went 10 Coates to re-
new the scheme.
Coates was asked to stand up, and
Orchard said he was the man. Orchard
was then asked whether he had not him
self proposed the crime to Coates, who
Immediately rebuffed him, and whether
Jack Simpkins had not warned Paulson
the minute he heard OF the plot Orchard
denied both suggestions and, reiterating
his first story insisted that Coates had
consented to stay in the plot and handle
the money they hoped 10 get from Paul
son.
Then the defense showed the witpess In
the commission OF a series OF mean crimes
and reduced TO poverty. when he had 20
resort 10 pawning, borrowing and steal
ing to live for a long period First he
pawned jewelry and guns for s25 or $50
Then he accepted the hospitality OF Paul
sons home while he was planning to steal
Paulson's child. After that, with JACK
Smpkins, he broke into the oregon Rail-
way and Navigation company's station
They were after a trunk full of Jewelrv
samples, but instead got a trunk full Of
shoe samples. Next he tapped cash
register a Burk for $40 or so. Summing
up this period OF crime. poverty and hard
luck, the defence wanted TO know why.
II he were in Idaho on a mission OF muir
der for Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone
and with unlimited credit from them, ne
did not send TO them for money instead
of borrowing and stealing.
Orchard replied that he did send to
Meyer at Butte and got 500. but that he
did not send to Haywood for more be-
cause he was temporarily off the "Steun-
enberg murder errand" and away from
where Steunenberg lived
Lastly. there came a showing that
Orchard had borrowed $500 from Paulson
on the strength OF a fraudulent story that
he was going TO Los Angeles to sell min

ORCHARD TELLS OF
MORE VILLAINY

ing stock for Coates and that this was
the money that actually paid his expenses
when he went back TO Caldwell on the
final mission OF murder.
Swiftly reviewing his meetings with his
old partner. who had meantime become
rich, the defence asked the witness. IL
disappointed and angered at his own hard
luck In selling out OF the Hercules mine
when Steunenberg sent troops into north
Idaho, he had not suddenly decided to
borrow enough money from Paulson TO
take him 10 Caldwell. where he would
murder the man whom he blamed for his
misfortune. Orchard strenuously denied
that this was his motive.
The Steunenberg crime was reached at
midday, and counsel for the defence di-
rccted their efforts in an attempt 10 cloud
the earlier purposes and movements OF
Orchard with uncertainty and indefinite
ness
Then they emphasized the abandonment
OF all effort 20 kill after Orchard first
tracked Stunenberg To a hotel in Boise
and with skeleton key gained entrance
TO the room In which the governor was
living. Here they delayed for moment
to prove that Orchard twice wrote and
once telephoned to Bill Easterly at Sill
YER City to urge him TO come and join
iii the crime, and the direct implication
was that Orchard was endeavoring to in
ve1gle another federation man into the
crime, which would bring dlScredtt and
dishonor to the organization.
The earlier part of the day was con-
sumed with a review from the standpoint
of the defence OF the alleged plots against
Peabody. Judge Gabbert, Judge Goddard
and Gen. Sherman Bell. II developed that
during August, 1906, when with shotgun
and buckshot he was stalking Gen. Bell.
Orchard went 10 live at the Pettibone
house. The explanation OF this relation
ship offered by the defence in its ques-
tion was that Orchard had gone there
to keep Pettibone company while Mrs.
Pettfbone was absent on an Eastern visit.
Soon after Orchard left the stand David
Coates said:
II do not care at this time TO discuss
the statement made by Orchard. / will
have an opportunity 10 reply in full
when j go on the stand for the de-
fence. I will say, however. that Simpkins
never talked 10 me OF the kidnapping of
PaulSon's child. Orchard did not speak
to me about II In Denver. but he did
come 10 me in Wallace and outline the
plot He said that he wanted to kidnap
money.
II told him that he was a fool. and
IL he attempted TO do so I would de-
nounce him publicly and that he would
be run out OF Wallace"
Coates served one term as lieutenant
governor of Colorado. having been elect
ed on the Populist ticket. After leaving
Colorado he went TO Wallace and until
few weeks ago was proprietor OF a
newspaper there.

APPONAUG

Daniel Coyle, 10 years old. a pupil OF
the Apponaug grammar school, met with
a severe accident yesterday noon. He had
just come out OF the school and he met
the East Greenwich bound electric in
front OF the school. He jumped on the
running board and after riding a few
feet the conductor saw him and told him
TO get of the car. Coyle jumped and
striking the ground with terrific force,
rolled almost under the car. The running
board struck him in the back OF the neck
causing wound that made II necessary
for DR.. Long to take three stitches. The
conductor stopped the car and the boy
was carried back to the Apponaug phar-
macy where he was attended to by Dr.
Long. Afterwards he was taken to the
home OF his grandmother in Apponaug.
The conductors are having much trouble
lately with boys running after electrics
and jumping on the running board. The
principal of the grammar school, Miss
Rogers gave a lecture TO the pupils about
such actions in the school hall yesterday
and it is hoped they will profit by 1t.
Mr.. John Barry and wife OF New York
city are visiting Mr.. and Mrs. John Dom
nelly OF Apponaug. Mr.. Barry is time
keeper for the Metropolitan railroad OF
New York
Mrs Thomas Freeland OF Buttonwoods s

past month.
Mrs. James Quigley OF Apponaug is suf-
fering from an attack of pleurisy.
The annual strawberry festival under
the auspices of the ladies OF ST. Barnabas'
church last evening was a decided sue
cess. During the evening the festivities
were enlivened by the dramatic club COM
posed OF young people from Apponaug

titled, "Our Aunt Robertina." The cast
was as follows: Mr.. Aspen. a retired mer-
chant, Ira w. knight, Gladys, his daugh-

complishment is taking place this
week in the 1000 acre patch of dry
farm wheat in Juab county owned by
the Utah Arid Farm company.
This machine, requiring only seven
men to run 1t, is the only one this side
of Lovelook, Nevada, and there are
none east of here, the distribution Of
the great labor saving machines being
from the home of everything big, Cal
ifornia into the grain fields of the
intermouutain country. NQtwith-
standing the great need for them In
the vast grain fields of the Mississippi
valley, these combined harvesters and
thrashers have not yet been introduced
east of the Rocky mountains.
The cost OF the machine is about 49,
600. but a large share Of this is for a
40 horse power traction engine, which
is suitable for other work; in fact
before the grain was ready to harvest
the Utah Arid Farm company employed
the engine to grub sagebrush and
pillow with large gang pillow. Prof.
Lewis A. Merrill, the manager of the
farm. says he is taking his grain from
the field TO the sack for fifty cents an
acre, while last year with the old
methods this work cost seventy five
cents an acre.
with the aid of this monster engine,
which has wheels s feet high with rims
feet wide, Mr.. Merrill win clear off
