Subsidy Men on Hand.

We learn from the Washington dis
patches that the ship subsidy men have
held meeting in that city. They are
by no means discouraged because of
repeated failures in the past, but rath-
err they are gathering earlier this time
and with more confidence. All of them
attended the meeting at the close of
last week, and they were in that
humor in which they assured each
other that everything looks lovely for
them
The subsidy men refused to have
their ardor dampened by some hand
writing that Uncle Joe" placed on the
high walls the early part of last week.
He told several of the deep waterway

ANDY" BURT ON THE STAND
Former Colonel of the 25th Infantry
Testifies Before the Senate
Committee,

Washington, June 14.-Brigadier Cen
eral Andrew S. Burt, retired, renowned
Indian fighter and who was colonel of
the Twenty-ffth infantry at the time
of his promotion and retirement, today
testified before the senate committee on
military affairs that this regiment OF
negro soldiers was one of the best in
the army
Colonel Burt testified as to a aumber
of the men he remembered, and gave
incidents to show the confidence he had
placed in them. He declared that all
of them were 10 be believed On oath,
and said:
Il would believe them if Z were sit
ting on a cOurt-martial, even if they
were testifying in their own defense"
Senator Foraker asked the witness
if he would expect $50 men to with
hold what they knew of a raid upon
defenseless town, if such raid had
been made by ten or fifteen other men
of the command?
General Burt replied that such a
thing was impossibility. From
what he knew of the negro race some
of the men would have leaked.

Beginning of Struggle Over indus

Denver, Colo, June 14-At the morn
ing session of the convention of the
Western Federation of Miners today
some of the delegates made complaint
regarding the reports in local news
papers of yesterdays meeting, and a
motion was made to exclude reporters.
This was defeated after a spirited de-
bate. Acting Secretary Kirwln speak
ing in favor OF permitting reporters to
be present.
John G. ONeill, editor ut the Miners
Magazine, the official organ or the
Federation, read his report, iO which IL
made an attack on the Industrial
Workers of the World, and that poTtios
of the Socialist Labor party of New
York headed by DeLeon. This report
will form the basis of the fight against
the continuance of the alliance between
the Western Federation of Miners and
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Mr.. O'Neill also defended himself
against the attacks made on his policy
in the Miners Magazine by certain
Federation members, and especially by
McCabe Union of Butte.

ords of its Ogden office showing pay
ment OF money to Steve Adams on order
of William d. Haywood. The order was
issued by Judge. Wood. Mr.. Hsekett was
not cross examined.
Charles E. Baldwin of Denver, Colo.
was called to testify az to the movements
of Lyle Gregory on the night of his
murder. He saw Gregory playing cards
in a saloon and left him at the door.
Twenty minutes later he heard that Greg
DRY had been killed and went up to see
the body Baldwin works for the O. p
Baldwin company, caterers. of Denver.
The defense objected to the taking of
any testimony concerning the death of
Gregory as having nothing TO do with the
assassination of Governor Steunenberg.
Ihe motion was denied was also
later motion to strike the testimony out
because of immateriaiity and irrelevance.
On cross examination Baldwin said he
nad taken several drinks the night he saw
Gregory. The Pinkertons asked the wit
ness to come to Boise and testify.
Joseph c. Houston. assistant cashier
or the First National bank of Denver, was
called to the stand, but court adjourned
Tor the day before he could testify.

SOME INSIDE FACTS.
Ogden Officers Open Up a New Line
of Testimony.
Especial to The Heraid1

Boise, Ida, June f4.--KnowIedge OF the
inside of some things is needed to appre-
clate the significance of testimony being
given by officers from Ogden i'm the
trial of William ID. Haywood They tell
of having arrested Steve Adams and q
man named Williams in an eastbound
reviewers on them, and a pair of field
glasses. The detective found only two
OF the feYoiVers at first, the other two
being found after the men had been taken
to the station house and searched. Adams
teiegraphed Haywood asking FOR money
TO pay his way out of trouble, and it was
sent. The inside of the matter is that
Adams. in his confession, told of the rea-
son of that trip. He and the other man
had been sent to San Francisco that
spring to kill F. w. Bradley, president of
the Bunker Hill-Sulliyan Mining COM
paRy. They failed to find him or weak
ened, and were on their way back when
hauled out of the car and hailed into the
police court.
Mr. Borah stated when the evidence
was Offered that il would be connected up.
How that is to be accomplished is not
made public. 1t is possible that Adams
has agreed to go on the stand and tes-
tify for the state. There are those who
look for him to pursue such course,
In that event his testimony would show
his mission was part of a conspiracy and
that Haywood had sent him. But it is
stoutly insisted that he will not testify
for Haywood, but that would bringg his
confession against him.
One theory that has many supporters
is that the state will produce the con-
fession and ask him about ii in detail,
reading passage after passage. These hold
that If he refuses to say anything when
asked, the passage next will be read, and
so on until the whole thing is gone over.
Then it is suggested that Mcfarland
would go on the stand and narrate in de-
tail the circumstances of the confession
Altogether it looks as though an interest
ing feature of the case were opening up
along these lines.
Witness Guibbinni, store and saloon
keeper, gave a striking piece of testi-
mony today respecting the effect of the
explosion of the Bradley bomb. stating
that it tore a stone stairway and step to
pieces. This showed rather strikingly
that it was not a gas explosion inside of
the house. as it was stated at the time
of the disaster.

TWO-CENT FARE
CASE IN COURT
Conflict Between the State OF
Missouri and the United
States Judges.
LAW NOT BEING ENFORCED
INJUNCTION ISSUED AND coNFU-
SION RESULTS.

Kansas City, June 1.-THE conflict be-
tween the state and federal courts that
arose here today over the enforcement Of
the Missouri maximum freight and two
cent fare act, which went into effect al
midnight. caused great confusion, and the
end is not yet IN sight
While Judge Mcpherson was in the
United States district court awaiting the
arrival of the attorneys for the principal
railroads of Missouri, who had brought a
joint suit asking him to enioin the en-
forcement of these new laws, the attor-
neys were holding a conference over a
new turn in affairs.
During the morning the circuit courts,
both in Kans as City and st. Louis, had,
upon petition of Attorney General Hadlsy,
issued inJunctiOns against the railroads,
compelling them to obey the laws. The
suits were filed in Kansas City by John
{. Kennish, assistant attorney general,
and in St. Louis by Mr.. Hadley.
When the railroad attorneys finally
came into the federal court, the suit WAS
postponed by Judge Mcpherson until to-
morrow. The railway attorneys urged a
postponement of the case for ten days
or two weeks, but Judge Mcpherson re-
fused. Yesterday the judge had issued an
order upon request of the railroads, re-
straining the complanants from putting
into effect and complying with the laws
and today, when the complication of the
circuit courts action arose. he continued
his order in effect. This, the court said,
he did as great harm might be done ana
much confusion arise if the Statu quo
should be changed"
Much confusion did result during the
day, in the minds of the railway agents
as to what rates they should charge, and
among the railway counsel as to which
court had the proper jurisdiction. and
which should be respected. The railways
ultimately respected the order of Judge
Mcpherson, and did not comply with the
new laws.
Assistant Attorney General Kennish de-
clared that the injunction asked by the
railroads was most remarkable. THE
railroads" said he TASK the court to en-
JOIN the roads from putting into effect the
new law. The state will hold that be-
cause of this fact the state and its peo-
pie are not enjoined by the federal court
and that the state court has jurisdiction. y
Attorney General Hadley is expected
here tomorrow to argue the states side

TAKES DEPARTURE FOR NEW

ispecial to The HeraIdl

Logan. June 14-W- J. Kerr. former
president of the Agricultural college, left
here today for Corvallio Oregon, where
he will assume the presidency of the Ore
goB Agricultural college. His household
effects were shipped yesterday. Profess
sOr Kerr has left Utah forever, according
to the statements of some OF his friends,
but what is of greater interest here is the
other statement of his friends that he
has renounced MOTmonism completely and
viii join the Congregational church The
announcement came as a great surprise
TO the people here, who, while they knew
Mr.. Kerr had not done much religious
work, believed he was still a good saint.
Mr. Kerr was born and raised a Mormon
and in his life eXemplfied all of its doc
trines, but his experience at the Agricul-
tural college, his friends say. revealed
to him many things which he thinks had
no proper place in religion, and he there
fore decided to break away from an or
ganization which he felt had sought TO
tyrannize over him.

ish, Irish and native-b born American
citizens. The native-born Americans
constituted one more than half the
jury.
Verdict a Triumph.
1.-The verdict was a complete triumph
for the American jury system, and de-
notes the high moral standard of San
Francisco's citizenship, notwithstand-
ing the corruption which has existed in
our municipal government. 1t is a
rainbow of hope and cheer to every
city in the United States which is sim
ilarly conditioned. 1t is evidence Of
the fact that the great masses of the
people, even in our large cities, are in
favor of the impartial enforcement of
the laws, and this means that they are
in favor of good government and will
vote for II whenever they have accu-
rate information and understand the
true issues involved. Much of the bad
government in large cities arises from
the fact that the daily newspapers
misinf0rm and mislead large numbers
of people who have no other source of
information, and thus form erroneous
impressions as to both men and meas
ures."
Mr.. Burns said:
From the day the prosecution an
nOunced that the evidence in every
case was complete, in my opinion, there
has been no question as TO the ulti-
mate result in each case provided we
secured an honest jury and could pre-
vent tampering with it. We have in
formation that a determined effort was
made by the defense to reach this jury,
and a vigorous investigation will be
had and the responsibility placed where
it properly belongs.
Plenty of Evidence.
"The defendant Schmitz mas had an
eminently fair trial Notwithstanding
the efforts of himself and counsel TO
show unfairness on our part, they
have utterly failed AS Mr.. Heney well
said in his address to the jury; All we
want is a square DEAL both for the
prosecution and the defendant And
this we shall insist upon having in
every case that is to follow. Our evil
dence is perfect and complete in each
and every case, and in many is
stronger than 1t was in this.
when we started on this inyestiga-
ton the obstacles with which we were
beset were well-Digh insuperable. We
had to combat the combined efforts of
the entire municipal administration,
which, of course, included the police
department who were untiring in THEN
efforts to prevent us from securing evil
dence. For months, or until able to
show the grand jury that we really
had the evidence TO convict them, we
have been openly charged with crimes.
the administration jeered and sneered
at us and generally would have had
the people understand we were a gang
of takers who need not be expected to
make good
knowing, however, that the condi-
tons we suspected did exist, my in
yestigation of similar matters taught
me that perseverance would bring re-
suits, so / was at all times satisfied
that eventually we would reach the end
we now have obtained. l would again
repeat that our evidence in every case
is complete and perfect"
