Crush Federation Will Be Claimed
in the Defense of Haywood.


Boise, Ida, July 1.-The alleged con-
spiracy Of the Pinkerton National De
tective agency, under retainer from The
Mine Owners association and the Citi.
zens' Alliance of Colorado and Idaho,
to destroy the Western Federation OF
Miners. will be taken up wnen the
trial CT William D. Haywood is re-
sumed. The defense sets up this as
the counter conspiracy of which Harry
Orchard, it is charged, was simply an
agent. The chief witness Is one Nor
ris Friedman. formerly stenographer
for the Pinkertons at the headquarters
of the western division in Denver.
It is alleged that Friedman, as an
agent Of the socialists and the Western
Federation, secured the position in the
Pinkerton employ, for the purpose OF
spying on the Pinkertons. Some Of
the daily reports of the operators"
employed by the agency to join Ire

q copy for himself, and now produces
a number oi these reports, which have
been marked for Identification as evil
dence, but which have not been read
in court. In fact, Clarence Darrow,
of counsel for the defense, stated to
Judge Wood that he himself had GCt
read these reports. The admisSib;liiy
of these copies of reports as evidence
will be argued.

Friedman on the last day of the first
week of the inning of the defense

ments could be secured against them
in Idaho. In furtherance of the mine
owners conspiracy, it is charged that

that Haywood, the secretary and treas

TALES REGARDING COMMISSION
ARE NOT TRUE, DECLARES SEC
RETARY TAFT.
He Says No Immediate Change ID
Contemplated in the Admins
tration of Affairs.

Washington, June 29.-'It is 3
tissue of falsehoOd," said Secretary
Taft, when his attention was called
to the report of his dissat. sfaction OF
the management of affairs under the
Isthmian canal commission and of the
intention of the officers engaged in the
work to relinquiSh it and return to
the United States. The secretary was
emphatic in declaration THAI he had not
received a single communication from
Lieut.. Col. Goethals showing that in
any way he was dissatisfied Or desired
to end his connection with the work.
"No immediate change is contemplated
in the administration of affairs CT
the isthmns," continued the secretary,
land there has not been a single kick
of any sort. There is no truth in The
stories of army officers asking for
leaves of absence to return to the
United States"
Continuing, the secretary said: THE
work there appears to be progressing
finely. It is true that in a recent
month the excavations made under
Col. Goethals were 10000 cubic yards
less than under his predecessor, but
this was due to a strike, and to other
causes beyond his control. Col. Goe-
thals will have all the help in the way
of army officers he may need with
view to the thoroughness of the work
in hand"
"What about David w. Ross, the re-
tiring general distributing agent?" was
asekd the secretary.
"Mr. Ross resignation was not asked
for" replied the secretary His work
has been satisfactory, and he was one
Of the most efficient officers we ever
had. Because of his private business
Mr. Ross wanted to leave the COM
mission on the 1st of June, but 1 want
ed him to stay at least until the 18th
of July"
Secretary Taft declared that the res
ignation of Engineer Ripely was volun-
tarily. "He and Col Goethals did not
agree as to the character OF some
work, and Mr. Ripley retired. He had
been engaged in the designing of some
locks. Nor has General Manager Bird,
of the Panama railroad, resigned, as
has been reported. Mr.. Bird is one OF
the most useful men we have on the
isthmus, being at the head of all The
transportation work we have there.
"If Jackson Smith, the Commissioner
who has charge of all the labor on the
isthmus has resigned" continued the
secretary. II don't know it. There Is
no truth, so far as | know, in the
reports of his resignation, and l think
would know it.
"As to Mr.. Bishop, secretary Of the
commission, who is now on duty at
Washington, I am not prepared TO say
what his future assignments will be-
said Secretary Taft. THAT will be de.
termined next week"

A Cleveland scientist announces,
with the air of making a great discoy-
cry, that there is an advantage in be-
ing tall because the tall mans head is
higher above the germs of the street.
This is neither a new nor an original
idea, says Indianapolis Star. Long
ago when "fever'n ager" was prevalent
in the valley of the classic Wabash
the extreme tallness of the natives OF
tie region was accounted for as being
a provision of nature to lift their
breathing apparatus safely above the
miasmatic emanations of the soil.

HIS SIDE GOOD AS HERS
NO DIVORCE WAS GRANTED
Ida AIdridge Could not Convince
Judge Fox That She Should be Sep
arated From Her Husband-She had
Fighting Disposition.

Mrs. Ida Aldridge longed for single
blessedness, but the desire of her
heart was not gratified for the rea-
son that the court did not believe that
she had shown sufficient grounds to
warrant the granting of a decree.
She told Judge Fox that she married
Marshall Aldridge, a night Waterman
at the Richmond City Mill works in
1904 and that he left her the following
year, and had not lived with her
since. She declared that there was
not the slightest excuse for his action,
as she had been a loving and dutiful
wife. The plaintiff stated that on one
occasion she went to his place of en-
ployment, and tried to induce him to
return home. with the result that he
showed her into the street.
Aldridge went on the stand and
gave the court to understand that
married life, so far as he was concern
ed was anything but bed of roses.
He said that had he listened to her
advice he would have been engaged
in battles the greater portion of the
time. She tried to involve him in
quarrels with the groceryman. butch
er, landlord and n number of other
persons. When he finally reached the
limits of human endurance he hfed
himself away.
