MRs."ORCHARD" TO SUE FOR MINEY

Orchard to Deny Confession
BOISE. July si.-A story has been puh-
liehei. here to the effect that Mrs. Albert.
E. Horsley, wife Of Harry Orchard. has
arranged to bring suit against Dan Gar
deuer, to whom her husband sold his in
tereet in the famous Hercules mine. the
contention being that the deed was invalid
as IL did not bear her signature.
The most sensational feature Of the
story is the statement that Jesse d. Root
counsel for Haywood in the recent trial,
went to Northumberland county, Ontario.
and secured from Mrs. Horsley authority
to bring the action. Added to this is a
story that Peter Breen has had an inter.
view with Orchard and has induced him
that Orchard has employed the Arm OF
Breen & Root to defend him when his trial
comes on.
The entire story is denied by re~presents-
tives OF the State. but the fact that Mrs.
Horsley did not sign the deed might be used
as a hook upon which TO hang an action.
{. II. Meyer states he will not return to
Denver with Haywood. as he does not wish
to be present at any celebration before he
has been tried. He proposes to take q vaca-
ton trip, but has no determined where

ALBANY. July H.-The present Sena-
tors may serve out their two year term
and their successors are not to be elected
until November, 1908. This was the de-
cision handed down to-day by Supreme
Court Justice Fits in granting the applica-
ton OF Senator Owen Cassidy for a per-
emptory writ OF mandsmus compelling
Secretary Of State Whslen to send out
his election notices to County Clerks without
including Senators in the list to be voted
for at the November election.
Justice Fits bases his decision on the
opinion Of Chief Judge Edgar NJ. Cullen Of
the Court Of Appeals, which was handed
down when the 1905 Legislative spportion-
ment law was declared unconetitutional
last winter.
There has been much lay discussion az to
just what Chief Judge Cullen held in this
opinion. In effect. Justice Fits says. Chief
Judge Cullen decided that the present
Senate should hold for a two year term;
that under the Constitution Senators
cannot be elected until November. 1908. I'M
less vacancies exist, and hat no vacancies
in the Office now exist.
therefore Justice Fits says that as the
Secretary OF State is purely an admins
trative officer he has no right TO decide that
a Senate shall be elected next fall. nor that
any Senators shall be elected in case Of a
vacancy except upon { 3 proclamation Of
the Governor when such vacancies are
caused by death or resignation.
The Attorney General At once will appeal

sidy's application for a mandamus, denied
