President Resigns and Disbanding is
Discussed.

A special meeting Of the woman'a
club was held yesterday afternoon
at Fraternal hall which proved to be
a strenuous session. For some time
the club has been divided on the IL

minated yesterday in some animated
discussions and the resignation of
Mrs. John Kennedy as president and
Mrs. o. e. Barr as a member of the
board of directors.
The question OF dlsbanding the
club was debated some taking the
stand that such action should not
be had bfore notifying all members
to be present, while others contended
that they had right to disband at
any time by vote OF those present.
The matter was finally left for settle
ment at the next regular meeting
which is to be held Friday, January

TELLS STORY OF CRIME

BOISE, Idaho. Dec. 13.-Showing
signs of deep emotion, Harry Orchard
In the Pettibone trial told of the as
sassination of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg. In minute detail he
testified in regard to the deliberate
preparation for the crime; of his I'M
successful attempt to end the life Of
the Governor, and finally, of placing
the bomb on the night of December
80, 1905.
This morning a narration of his
arrst and confinement in the state
penitentiary and his confession to
Detective MCFARLAND ended the direct
examination and the witness was
turned over to Clarence barrow for
cross-examination.
Before telling of the Steunenberg
murder, Orchard detailed his alleged
attempts on the lives of Fred Brad
lay at San Francisco, Justice Cab
bert, Justice GODDARD and Governor
Peabody at Denver, and of plans
which he said were made to kill Sher-
man Bell, Frank Hearne, David Moi
fit and John Neville
Throughout his story he pictured
Pettibone as his paymaster, and In
some of his attempted crimes he Inn
plicated the defendant as an active
participant In every detail his mar
ration was the same as given in the
Haywood trial, but Hawley in hi
questioning was careful to lay EN-
phasis on the part alleged to have
been taken by the defendant on trial

terrent to his usefulness in the pres
ent crisis. He belongs to the older
generation of Japanese statesmen,
and, 1T is insinuated, has often dis
regarded the instructions of the
ministry of foreign affairs, looking
upon them as his interiors in wisdom
and experience.
The Hochi, one of the most prom
inent of Toxic newspapers, declares
that Aoki has of late become highly
unpopular among the officials of the
foreign Office because of his DISPOSE
tion to act independently and on his
own initiative, exceeding or disre-
garding the instructions of his offic-
ial superiors. The same opinion has
been expressed by other papers pop
ularly supposed to be inspired.
Viscount Hayashi, minister of for
eign affairs, declares that there is
not and will not be the slightest
breach of friendliness between the
United States and Japan because OF
the recall of Ambassador Aoki. On
the contrary he insinuates that
Aoki's recall is likely to render those
relations more steadfast and cordial
He has persistently refused to state
whether there was anything in the
conduct of the ambassador to merit
recall.

PROBE HARVESTER TRUST
Attorney General Of Missouri After
Illegal Combine.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 13.-It is ex-
pected that the custer proceedings
instituted in the Missouri supreme
court by Attorney General Herbert S.
Hadley against the International
Harvester company, for alleged vio-
lation of the antitrust laws of the
state, will come up again next week,
when the writ issued by the court is
made returnable.
1t is alleged by Attorney General
Hadley that the harvester trust" is
the most high-handed monopoly ever
attempted and that the farmers of
Missouri are annually held up" for
many thousands of dollars through
the exOrbitant prices charged by the
International Harvester company.
He says that in order to maintain a
monopoly of the business in this state
the trust has compelled all retail
dealers to handle only the machinery
made by these composing the COM
bine. The International Harvester
company, it is alleged, was organized
in 1902 with a capital of $12O,000,-
900 and absorbed all the other COM
panies, thereby effectually destroying
all competition and leaving the users
and dealers in harvesters to the mer-
| cy of the trust.
The companies composing the mo-
nopoly are alleged to be the Milwauk-
ee Harverter company of Wisconsin
the Mccormick Harvester company
of Illinois, the Plano Manufacturing
company of Illinois. Warden, Rush
nell & Glessner company of Ohio, ID
H. Osborne & company of New Yorl
and Aultman Miller & company o.

porations of the department of com
merce and labor is now engaged II

vester company. with a view to gov

LUMBER RATES
HEARING is UP
Rates Must Be Restored to Save
Big Industry

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-IndIca-
tions point to long-continued hear
ing OF the Washington and Oregon
lumber manufacturer against var
ious western and northwestern rail-
roads. which are on trial before the
interstate commerce commission. A.
G. Dixon. sales agent OF the Booth
Kelly Lumber company Of Eugene,
Ore, was on the stand all day yes
terday and part Of today. His tes-
timony covered In minute detail the
operations or the northwestern lum-
bermen, particularly those Of his own
company, which Is one OF the larg-
est.
Mr.. Dixon was placed under cross
examination and he explained that
the rates made In accordance with
the tariffs OF the northwestern lines
rendered IL impossible for the Wash
ington and Oregon lumber manufact-
turers to market their products az
points east OF the Rocky mountains
at a profit, In fact. they tended 70
put a majority Of the lumbermen out
of business. He said this was the
plan OF the railroads until such time
perhaps, as 1t would be absolutely
necessary for the consumers TO resort
to the Pacific northwest for theII
lumber.
