LOGS THREATEN
BRIDGE

The temporary bridge put in on
Howard st. in place Of the one the
Washington Water Power Co.
knocked down, is again in danger
of going out from logs which get
loose from the jam near No. fire
station. Eight logs went over the
dam this morning and lodged
against the bridge. Bridgemen I'M
der Foreman j. j. Mccormick
loosened the logs and sent them on
down over the big falls.
The log jam belongs to the
Phoenix mill.
So long as the water is low the
bridge is not in danger from this
source. but high water has jammed
the logs to height of several feet
under water and the pressure is
tremendous.
Last week the mill people tried
to start the jam out desisted from
the attempt when they became
aware of the danger of releasing
the whole mass, which would in
evitably have carried the temporary
bridge before 1t. The jam will not
be disturbed again until low
water.
Meanwhile w. w. P. street cars
are using the Howard st. bridge.

FEW POINTS
(Scripps News Association,

SAN FRANCISCO, June TO-
When the Schmitz trial was re-
sumed this morning the court
heard arguments on the admissible
ity of Camille Mailhebuan's testi-
mony tending to show similar Of
lenses" in connection with the al
legged holdup Of French restaurants.
The prosecution declared it would
show that Schmitz issued orders to
hold up licenses, not only of NAL
fanti. but Of others, and that while
they might constitute similar Of
lenses they were in fact a part OF
the general deal to extort money
from proprietors.
The court partially sustained the
objections of the defense and ruled
the prosecution couldn't show
Schmitz ordered the holdup of a
certain tavern license because a
friend Of the mayor was in danger
of losing his position. They could
not show the police commission was
ordered to refuse license to 2 sa-
looms for reasons not stated. or that
Schmitz and Ruef divided a GER
tain portion of profits of 2 immoral

The prosecution, however, was al

spired to hold up small, as we'll as
large, French restaurants.

who mounts the witness stand
and tells of himself as for years a
base and willing tool in the hands
of his alleged master. Haywood;
how ne obeyed the most brutal or
ders, and carried out the most
frightful outrages, treated always
with contumely and contempt and
showered with denunciation and
curses.
Even the most biased believers in
the guilt of Haywood admit that it
is almost impossible to conceive
that this Orchard could possibly
have been the man he describes
himself.
Wingate, one of the talesmen,
willing enough to serve, declared
that he could not under anycircum-
stances believe Orchard upon oath.
The confession was too horrible;
the transformation was too incon-
ceivable.
1t is on account of these irrecon-
cilable aspects of the man Orchard
that Haywood's friends persist in
accusing the mine owners and the
unfriendly powers of the law of a
conspiracy to deliberately fasten
guilt upon an innocent man and
wreck the Western Federation.
They say, if Orchard is the
abominable and constituencies
criminal he confessed himself, how
can his oath be taken? If he, in his
years of manhood, had fallen to the
unutterable depths OF degradation
he describes, how this marvellous
alteration in character? II the
photograph of Orchard the criminal
shows him as he is. why the presen-
tation before the court and before
the public of this well-dressed, we'll
groomed man, who is so eager to
again recite his crimes for the sake
of "consciencee"?
1t is for the sake OF immunity,
they declare. Also that Orchard is,
no doubt, despicable and criminal,
that he is undoubtedly guilty Of
many Of the crimes to which he has
confessed, but that the all-powerful
influence of money, aided by hostile
officialdom, has assured him no lit
tie degree of immunity, provided he
acts out his disgusting characterize
ton to the disgraceful end.

know chat a military company was
on guard there. They had been or
dered to be under arms at the mine
that night, hours before the ex.
plosion, because they had been told
something was coming on" u
Orchard did not know where he
met Adams on the day OF the explo-
sion. He denied that he had been
cautioned not to fix either time or
place. He said Hawley and McPar-
land simply told him to go ahead |
and tell the truth. This caused a |
laugh in the courtroom, which was !,
quickly suppressed.
UP to the time of the depot excl
plosion Orchard said he had re-
ceived s735 from Meyer and Hay
wood He denied receiving letters /
from Superintendent Bangs Of tho
Pinkerton agency, or VIM. Pinker-
ton, of Chicago, telling him what
course to pursue and what would
be done for him after the trial.
Richardson devoted nearly three
quarters of his questioning to

witness memory on this point was
haZy as to amounts or dates. Rich
ardson got another laugh from the
crowd by asking why witness used

from association with MCFARLAND.
Orchard said no; he had learned
the meaning of the word since he
had been in the penitentiary.

plode the powder at Independence
| before the train arrived, but when
asked IL he did not actually do So
said he didn't want to injure any
railroad men, so he exploded 1t

1t is apparent that Richardson Ia

any one, but was a plot to blow up
a deserted place and give an excuse
for keeping militia In the district.
Witness insisted he never knew
there were nonunion men in the
depot about the time of the explo-
sion. Afterward he went to Denver
and told Simpkins about 1t.
Haywood and Pettibone came up.
he said, and the matter was dis
cussed. They said 1t was good
job, Orchard testified.
James Hirwin, now acting secres
tary of the union, was also there,
but left before he talked about the

WOMAN THIEF
CAUGHT HERE

Sergeant Sullivan yesterday cap.
tured Maud Silverton, who claims
to be the wife of M. T. Quinn, q
notorious bunco man better known
as the Ring Con Kid and who
operated extensively few years
ago in the Northwest. Maud Sil.
verton is known as a notorious
woman thief. She is about 40 years
old Her operations have extended
over a period of many years. Her
last trip to Spokane was made 6
years ago when she was suspected,
but not convicted, of many crooked
deals.
The particular charge which may
be laid against her this time Is the
theft of a $135 diamond pin rom
James Brown a Occur d'Alene min>
ing man, who was stopping at the
Hotel Pennington.
Brown has gone to Alaska. Be.
fore he left, the police found the
pin In pawnshop and he redeemed
it. Efforts are being made to To-
cate the person who pawned the
pin, as the poIce are certain the
SllVertOn woman was the one VINO
stole it. The description given the
police by Brown fits the woman. On
Saturday night Quinn and Frank
Kirk were arrested on suspicion OF
being the bunco men who match
ed dollars" in cheating their vic
Tins. They have been in town sew
eral weeks but were keeping out Of
sight of the police.
The Silverton woman is also sup
posed TO be the "colored" woman
who picked the pockets OF Albert
Marcel for gold watch. II was
dark when he encountered the wop
man and was not certain as to her
being an Ethiopian. She Is very
dark, which probably caused Mar.
eel to believe her colored.
If the police cannot prove that
she is responsible for the thefts. she
will be prosecuted on the customary
charge and given heavy fine. IL
she pays this she win be ordered
out Of the city.

BOISE, June 10.-Steve Adams,
who was implicated by Orchard in
most of the latter's alleged crimes,
today denounced Orchard as brute
and liar. He declares that every
statement Orchard has made, so far
as it duplicates him, is false.
Adams arrived from Rathdrum
early today in custody of deputy
sheriffs and was locked in the
county Jail. He was accompanied
by his attorney, John Wourms, who
defended him on the charge of MUIR
dering Fred Tyler.
Wourms declares that the state
will gain nothing by calling Adams,
as his testimony will hurt the prose-
cution more than 1t helps.
Adams was taken from the jail
at Rathdrum Saturday night, trans
ferred across the Washington line
and brought here on Sunday in or
der to guard against habeas corpus
proceedings which it was rumored
would be started to release him.
Orchard at once resumed the
stand this morning as soon as court
convened He looked fresh and in
his usual weel groomed condition.
Richardson resumed his cross ex-
animation relative to Orchards
movements in and about the lnde-
pendence at the time he says he
blew up the depot.
Orchard admitted that he was
visited by Detective Mcfarland at
the penitentiary yesterday for an
hour and saw him again this morn
ing in Hawley's Office. He also
talked Sunday with Hawley, War
den Whitney, Mills and Alderman
regarding his testimony and how
he conducted himself on the stand.
He said he wished to correct
testimony heretofore given, and de-
clared he hadn't made correct
statement when he said he made
Grecian fire experiments with Bill
Esterly. He said 1t was Bill Acker-
man.
When asked II he corrected this
testimony because Esterly was here
to contradict him, while Alderman
is supposed to be in Nevada and
could not be brought here, Orchard
said no.

JAMESTOWN, Va, June 10.-In
his address to the National
Editorial association at the James
town exposition this afternoon
President Roosevelt stated his
ideas of newspaper work as fol
lows:
ut is Of course mere truism to
say that no other body of our coun-
trymen WELD as extensive an in
fiuence as those who write for the
daily press and for the periodicals.
1t is also a truism to say that such
power implies the grovest RESPONSE
bility, and the man exercising 1t
should hold himself accountable,
and should be held by others &C.
countable, precisely as If he occu-
pied any other position of public
trust. l do not intend to dwell
upon your duties today, however,
save that l shall permit myself to
point out one matter where it
seems to me that the need of our
people is vital.
"It Is essential that the man in
public life and the man who writes
in the public press shall both Of
them, II they are really good serv-
ant of the people, be prompt to as
sail wrongdoing and wickedness.
Butte In thus assailing wrongdoing
and wickedness, there are condi-
tons to be fulfilled, because if I'M
fulfilled, harm and not good will re-
suit.
ain the first place, be sure OF
your facts and avoid everything
like hysteria or exaggeration; for
to assail decent man for some
thing of which he is innocent is to
give aid and comfort to every
scoundrel, while indulgence in hys-
terieal exaggeration serves to
weaken, not strengthen. the state
ment of truth. In the second
place, be sure that you base your
judgment on conduct and not on
the social or economic position of
the individual with whom you are
dealing. There are good and bad
men I'm every walk of life, and their
being good or bad does not depend
upon whether they have or do not
have large bank accounts. Yet this
elemental fact, this fact which we
all accept as self-evident, when we
think each of us of the people
whom he himself knows In his busi-
ness and social relations, is often
completely ignored by certain pub
lie men and certain public writer's.
The men who thus ignore 1t and
who attack wickedness only when
found in particular class are al
ways unsafe and are sometimes
very dangerous. leaders.
"Distrust equally the man who Is
never able to discover any vices of
rich men to attack and the man
who confines himself to attacking
the sins and shortcomings of rich
men 1t Is sure sign of moral
and mental dishonesty in any man
If In his public assaults upon
iniquity he is never able to see any
iniquity save that of a particular
class and this whether he is able
only to see the crimes of arrogance
and oppression in the rich or the
crimes Of envy and violence in the
poor.
"He is no true American II he is
a respecter of persons where right
and wrong are concerned and II he
fails to denoInce the demagogue nc
