EvELETH has new ordinance
compelling prisoners to work out
their time on the street. The first
man to go up against such SEN
tence took leg bail within an hour
OF being put to work. But while
the law may not materially affect
the improvement of the city's thor
oughfare it will have a tendency
to better the moral atmosphere of
the town by making perennial
buns and drunkards fight shy of
the limits.
IT has been discovered that there
are few slot machines doing busi-
ness at Negaunee and they have
been ordered out. The best way to
care for these jug-handled gam
bling machines is to make a bonfire
OF them, and the police should so
demolish them no matter whe1e
found. There's a big stock of them
in 1shpeming awaiting the time
when there will be a slot machine
administration, which isn't yet
lshpeming Iron Ore.
OUR beloved brother of The Vir-
ginian has, as might have been ex-
pected, picked up the frayed ends
of the mayors battle for his "repu.
tation," and devotes a column Of
front page, top of column, next to
reading matter advertising to the
answer filed by the writer to the
bill of complaint made by the
friend of the poor mans COW. But
while David's opinion is of about
as much interest to us as would be
the Growing of bantam we must
congratulate him upon the brief
ness of his memory as evidenced
by the statement that during the
greater portion of Ex-mayor Fay's
administration "the slot machines
and houses of ill-fame were allowed
to operate without hindrance.'
However, these slurs at mar
whose administration of the affairs
of the city received the commenda
ton of decent people needs no re-
dress or attempt thereat from us
if ex mayor Fay was as thin
skinned and as thick.headed as
some men who have held the office
OF chief executive of the city The
Virginian would be sued for a mil
lion. But in the case under con

has had thrust upon him condi
ton which we shall combat in GU,
own way, and if being compelled tc
live to the law hurts David or his
friends, it is no fault of ours. II

End Arguments for State.

Boise, Idaho, July 2S.-Evidence and
argument is at an end in the Haywood
case. Senator Borah, special counsel
for the state, spoke the last word last
night. Judge Fremont Wood will
charge the jury to-day.
Senator Borah laid the foundation
for his argument Thursday night. Yes
terday morning he began an analysis
of the evidence, but he confined him
self to the murder of Steunenberg and
the conspiracy. He linked Orchard to
Haywood, Haywood to Simpkins,
Simpkins to Meyer and Meyer to Pet
tibone.
Drops Orchards Confession.
Then, selecting only the evidence of
witnesses for the defense and leaving
Orchards confession out, he wove the
lives and movements of the five men
together. Without departing from
the records, incidentally clearing up a
number of situations left somewhat
clouded, he brought these officers and
members of the Western Federation
of Miners together. Then he took
Orchard away from Denver and back
again to Denver, to the headquarters
of the Western Federation of Miners.
This was done carefully and almost
monotonously, the quiet before the
storm, and then Borah's voice and
manne changed.
Borah Is Dramatic.
He sprang into action. His voice
quivered. and hand appraised, fingers
outstretched, he shouted:
Watch them now! Watch the five
conspirators! S~teunenberg Is to die
in thirty days and they are moving on
the scene"
For the space of ten seconds there
was silence. Then, relaxing, Borah
continued with his merciless logic. He
brought Davis, Copley, Adams and
Easterly, all officers or members Of
the Western Federation of Miners,
into touch with Orchard. Without a
pause he drew picture after picture of
the men. associating together at vari-
ous points.
Orchards comings and Goinss.
From each place and fresh from
every crime, he brought Orchard back
home to Denver" and then, smiling,
leaned toward the jury to ask "Why?"
why always back to Denver unless
it was to find there the protection and
the pay of his e%mployers?'

An Appeal for Labor.
Mr.. Darrow's argument, unfinished
last night, developed into an appeal
for labor as against capital and a de-

He held an audience startled and open

TRAGEDY AT HOME OF HUN iN0-

ATTEMPTS TO KILL SELF

Versailles. July 31.-The death OF
| the aged American soldier himself and
| an attempt at self-destruction on the
part of his son Henry, who shot ms
sisters and brothers Sunday, in the
last hours of his dying father, impart-
| ed additional sadness to the shocking
tragedy in the home of Maj. Henry "A.
Huntington, which has caused a sensa-
| ton in the American colony and IN d.
plomatic circles in France.
Father Spared Anguish.
Maj. Huntington died last venin
shortly after the news was gwen out
of his son Henry's unsuccessful at
| tempt at suicide, but h father was
spared the anguish of knowing OF TINS
incident and of the terrible crime
| which shattered his household, as he
was unconscious to the end.
According to the police, Henry at
tempted suicide in his cell with a silk
handkerchief, which he tied around his
neck and fastened to the bars, seeking
to strangle himself slowly by means OF
a tourniquet.
Henry irresponsible.
Though plunged in grief at the
death of the head Of the household,
the mother and children have had time
to interpret Henry's effort at self-de-
struction as additional evidence of the
| mental responsibility. which they say
| he has long manifested in certain di-
| rections.
His wife, however, declares that 1t
was the natural result of remorse at
| the dreadful acts which he committed
in a sudden outburst of uncomfortable
fury at the interference of his brothers
when he hurried to the bedside Of his
dying father to beg forgiveness.
Brother May Die.
The condition Of Alonzo, who was
shot in the head, and Elizabeth, who
was shot in the region of the heart,
was serious yesterday. AlonZo, it is
believed, will die.
Huntington's wife has made public
an account of the things she says her
husband told her before he was locked
up, in which he declared he had lost
his head during words with his
brothers and fired wildly and reckless
ly. Young Mrs. Huntington asserts
that there was a complete rupture be-
tween Henry and his family on ac-
count of the treatment of her by his
sisters, and that Henry smarted under
the refusal of his family to receive her
in their home.
Squabble Over Will.
1t is stated by certain acquaintance
of Maj. Huntington that after his quar-.
rel with Henry, some months ago, he
had drawn up a will leaving all his
property to his wife and the four 9TH
er children, but that in view of his re-
Cancellation with Henry on Sunday he
tore up this will and made a new one.
in which Henry was given an equal
share with the others.
1t was the protests of the family
against this which led Henry, accord
ing to the statement, to use his re-
volver.
