NOT TO ENFORCE LAW
Hartman Not To Be Prosecuted For
His MerPers

washington, d. c., June 9.-That
Friday nights White house confer
ence marked an important turn in
the Administrations antitrust and
anti-railroad policy has become clear.
Hereafter President Roosevelt will
be less radical in his efforts to break
up the great railroad combinations
and indications are strong that de-
spite all that the president and his
advisers have said of e. H. Hartman
the latter will escape practically I'M
scathed. The subject of the criminal
prosecution of Hartman was not gone
into, but practically no attention was
paid to it, thus making it clear that
such proceeding has been abandoned.
1t is held by the lawyers of the cabi-
net and part of interstate commerce
commission that Hartman has not
secured immunity from criminal
prosecution by his testimony.
What the conference was devoted
to chiefly was the discussion of
proceedings against the Hartman
combinations under the Sherman
antitrust law, and to break up those
combinations. Secretary Root, Taft
Garfield and Cortelyou and Attorney
General Bonaparte along with Chair
man Knapp were opposed to such pro-
ceedings. The only man who was
anxious apparently to undertake them
was Judge Frank B. Kellogg. special
counsel for the interstate commerce
commission in the Hartman investi-
cation. Commissioner Lane was on
Judge Kellogg's side but in luke
warm fashion.
The president was told there was
doubt whether the Sherman law could
be enforced against Harriman's com
binations, and more than this, there
was a question whether the public
welfare and financial conditions would
not be badly hurt by undertaking
to Smash" Mr.. Harriman's combina-
tions.
ii was given out that no decision
had been reached. but indications are
strong that Hartman will get away.
not alone without criminal prosecu-
ton. but that be will he allowed to
proceed as he pleases with his rai.-
road mergers.
This will be the case unless the
president goes counter to the advice
of most of those at the conference.
The import of all this Is simply
that the time seems at hand when
the Sherman antitrust law is no
longer to be enforced against the
railroads and thev ore to be aIsoweu
to make traffic agreements under snip
ervision of the interstate commerce
commission.
1t is needless to say this will excite
no little opposition.

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL,

Counsel for William d. Haywood
continued their attack on the testi.
mony of Harry Orchard and conferred
beginning with the explosion in the
indicator mine and ending with the
earlier meetings between the witness
and the leaders of the Federation OF
Miners ir Denver. Orchard stood the
test and strain very well and held ten.
aciously to the story he had related.
Harry Orchard crowned his admis
sions of grave crimes when, continu
Ing his testimony against William d.
Haywood, he made an explicitly de-
tailed confession of the murder OF
Frank Steunenberg by an Internal ma.
chine that directly opens the way for
his own conviction and execution.
He swore that the assassination OF
Steunenberg was first suggested by
Haywood was jointly plotted by Hay
wood, Meyer, Pettibone and himself,
was financed by Haywood and was ex-
ecuted by himself On cross-examina-
ton he admitted that he deserted his
wife, ran away with another mans
wife and contracted bigamous mar
riage with third woman.
Alfred Horsley, alias Harry Orchard,
the actual assassin of Frank Steunen-
berg, went on the stand at Boise,
Idaho, as witness against William d..
Haywood, and made public confession
of long chain of brutal, revolving
crimes, done, he said, at the inspira-
ton and for the pay of the leaders Of
the Western Federation of Miners.
Through James III. Hawley, senior
of the group of prosecutors, the state
of Idaho made the opening statement
against William d. Haywood, whom
it charges with the murder of Frank
Steunenberg, and then began the
presentation of testimony by which 1T
hopes to prove the indictment laid
against him.

DEFENSE AFTER ORCHARD

cidents of his more recsn. life under
the questioning of the state that
might prove to the jury his readiness
slaughter for low wage, and how in
different he had been as to the num-
Der or conditions Of his victim. This
story brought out by counsel for the
state was. however, merely a synop-
sis Of what has occurred since 1899.
The climax sent sudder through the
court room. Under cross-examination
by p. F. Richardson counsel for w.
ID. Haywood, Orchard has so far de-
veloped this series OF tragedies, but
only up to 1904. Three more years
and many more murders are TO be
brought out
Slowly but surely the defense is
developing the lines which 1t hopes
to break down the story of Harry
Orchard now on trial, Meyer or Petit
bone, who are as yet to be tried on
the same charge.
At the close Of Orchards cross
examination the state will take him
in hand for the redirect and then
will come the recross-examinaton. 1t
seems hardly probable that he will be
dismissed before the end of next
week. He may be recalled afterward
as the case develops. The warden at
the penitentiary says that Orchard
shows no sign of nervousness or
strain. He eats well and speaks
without emotion of the events of the
day.

Senator Whealdon this morning
raised the question of state division
in the fight over the eastern Oregon
fair appropriation, and a prominent
Portland man openly declares there
will he a well-organiZed movement by
the initiative and referendum to re-
move the capitol to Portland, says
the Salem Journal.
While state division and capitol re-
movul are questions raised at each
session, the persistency of the move
ment has caused serious gossip in
the Hobbies, and the feeling is being
the legislature.
The movement has not even been
considered by the people, but the
Portland man claims Multnomah
county would give $4,000 majority for
removal of the capitol, and enough
votes would be picked up in the rest
of the state to carry
Governor Chamberlain, the demo-
cratic chief executive of Oregon,
says: 81 am in favor of keeping the
state capitols as far away from the
large cities as possible. especially
when the legislative assembly is in
session. There is not the Same op-
portunity to use undue influence and
improperly control the legislation in
the interest OF corporations.
"The legislators can come nearer
giving their whole time and attention
to public matters, as there are not so
many entertainments and amusements
to call them away from the halls of
legislation.
ut would be a public misfortune in
most states to remove the state capt.
tolls to the largest city in the state,
and the people of Oregon have every
reason to be satisfied with their ex-
peIience in having the state capitol
and most of the state institutions To-
Gated at city of the second class"
Secretary of State Benson was
seen. and said: 1.-THE people of Ore
gon are very we'll satisfied to have
the state capitol in the interior of the
state, where the influences of the ag-
ricultural population are made felt
very quickly on any matter of public
Importance.
"There has never been a PROPOSE
tion to remove the state capitol that
had any real backing among the
masses of the people. The talk usual
ly arises out of a spirit of revenge,
growing out of some controversy of
a political or local nature. 1 do not
believe that any such movement
would be successful. or that the peo-
pic ut large would be benefited by
such a change"
