Cripple Creek Events.

Senator BOrah next took the witness to
Cripple Creek. Davis said he and Och
ard talked some about Governor Steun-
enberg, but Orchard did not say at first
anything about his experiences in the
Occur dAlenes. He spoke Of Governor
Peabody as a man who promised to he A
second Steunenberg. Orchard seemed very
resentful toward Steunenberg. Davis could
not remember the exact language used at
any of the conversations. When Orchard
finally said he was going 10 get Steun-
enberg, neither the witness nor Parker nor
Easterly made any particular comment
upon the matter
Davis said the Cripple Creek strike grew
out Of a strike of smel.ermen ia Colo
RADIO City. There was 40 trouble between
the mine workers and mine owners at
Cripple Creek as TO money or hours.
At this point of the cross-examination
adjournment was taken until $50 toner
row morning.

Kept Out of Way of Troops.

Davis could not say whether or not the
engine was guarded by armed men. The
witness later heard the mill at Wardaer
mad been blown up. He did not know
that the men on the train had dOne it,
Davis believed there was A strike on at
Wardner ana he thought some one told
him there had been trouble at the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mill. Davis saw
the train when it came back from Ward
ner, but he did not know whether anyone
got off or not. The next day he left
Gem and went to Wallace. He went into
the Hercules mine. He was not hiding
but was keeping out of the way of the
troops. Davis was at The Hercules mine
for two weeks. He knew the sol1iers
were looking for everybody" but did rot
know that placards had been posted call
ing for his arrest From Wallace Davis
went to Butte. He again took the name
Of Jones. He did this so as to get job
but he had not seen his name black-listed
anywhere.
Butte was a federation camp and was
not necessary for a union man to change
his name to get employment there. Davis
said one reason for the change was that
he did not care about laying up in the
bull pen"

IdIkSOn Teeth
By B. /. REX, NJ. D., D. D. S.
Z eeth Without
Plates

1t seems wonderful and impossible
thing to the average plate" wearer
that we can put teeth in the mouth
and make them stay there firmly with
out the use of a plate.
Almost the first question put TO us
by plate victim is: How can you
do it," and what holds them in place?
The A1veolar method of putting teeth
is our secret. The fact that we do
the work successfully, and that it is
both beautiful as well as successful is
proof that the secret is valuable.
Given two or more teeth in either
Jaw, tight or loose ones 1--WE make the
loose. ones tight and healthy, we
promise to put in beautiful set of
teeth each tooth set in independently
of its neighbor, the whole forming a
piece of work that cannot be told from
the best that nature can do.
Will they last?
y The question usually follows.
We can show hundreds of cases that
have been in upward of two years
that are. if anything, more firmly in
trenched today than when the work
was finished.
They viii outlast those who are
wearing them.
Will YOU come in and let US look
your teeth over? The consultation
and examination is free
No obligation goes with it to have
any work done unless you wish to en-
ploy our services.
If we can enable you do do away
with a wabbIy, unclean, unsatisfaeto-
~, painful plate, wouldn't it be the
greatest service that could be done for
you?

The Lie Passed.

The lie was passed at the convention
this afternoon between Secretary kirwan
and Delegate r. ID. Mitchell. formerly of
Greenwood. X. G. Kirwan had asserted
that Mitchell did not dare to return to
Greenwood on account of a shady mining
machinery deal, In reply Mitchell said
kirwan lied when he made the state
ment and Kirwan asserted that Mitchell
was - liar if he denied it. The chair
restored order before other personalities
were INDUCED in.
One speaker this afternoon said he had
heard it stated that MahOney and Kirwan
had really made little effort to have
Meyer and Haywood released from iaiI
as they wished to perpetuate themselves
in office. Another delegate claimed that
Delegate John McMullen of the Butte en-
gineers had asked union No. "a to appoint
a committee to investigate the corruption
and r0ttenness of Meyer and HAYWOOD

while Edward O'Byrne of Butte claimed
IT was reported in Butte that Kirwan was
short $1,000 in his accounts
These charges were not denied today
as the chair ruled that the speaker should
not be interrupted. and those accused
would have a chance to clear themselves

Davis Denies Orchards Story.
w. f. Davis, a leading member of the
Western Federation of Miners, was called
to the stand as the luncehon adjournment
was taken.
After recess Davis said he was now

teen months lates. The Bunker Hill mill
explosion occurred April %, 1899. Davis
said he Joined the Western Federation of
Miners in September, 1899. Before this he
belonged to the Western Labor union.
Davis said he knew Fred Bradley, Of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine, but never
had any trouble with him.
Did you have anything to do with the
blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mill?'' asked barrow.
No. sir
Did you lead body of Loo men down
to blow il up?'
mo, sir
Did you know Harry OrcharGg'
Were you member of the union at
that timer
mo, sir
Orchard declared on the stand that
Davis was one of the leaders of the
party which went to blow up the mill.
Changed His Name to Jones.
Davis worked for awhile on the Hercu-
les prospect with Ed Boyce and August
Paulson. When ne left the Occur dAlene
during the bull pen days he went to
California, changing his name TO w. +.
Jones in order to get work. Later he
work for awhile, but was discharged when
the Mine Owners discovered his name vas
Davis and that he was member of the
Western Federation of Miners.
From Arizona Davis went to Cripple
Creek. He took out a card in Altman
union No. 10 and became president of
the local in March, 1902. There were
a little more than two years. Sherman
Parker. now dead. was at one time fl
nancial secretary. Bill Easterly and Steve
Adams were also members.
Davis said he first met Harry Orchard
in May, 1902, in Altman, at the miners
union office. Orchard asked for admit
lance to the union. saving he had be-
longed in Burke, Ida. The man had no
withdrawal card and when a transfer
was sent for, none came.
When the strike came in 1903 in Cripple
Creek, Davis said that he and Parker
were on the strike committee. Bill East
erly was never a member. The militia
came into the district when absolute quiet
prevailed. Davis declared that up to this
time there had been no disorder

Official Views of the Federation.

Mr. o. NELL was crOSS-eXdm1ned Dy sen
atOr Borah. He said the magazine was
supposed to reflect the official views of
the Western Federation of Miners, which
in convention adopted the views of So
cialism. The magazine is paid for by
the Western Federation of Miners and
all money has TO be paid out on the or
der of Haywood as secretary treasurer
THE ma gaZine could not run twenty
four hours without the approval of Hay
wood, could it?" asked Senator Borah-
The magazine has been adopted by
the organization and the organization is
more powerful than any one officer. If
Mr.. Haywood should decline to pay out
the necessary money. the executive board
would probably tell him what his duties
were"
And in the executive board, COM
mented the interrogation. we get back to
Meyer. Haywood. Jack Simpkins and
Marian Moore and the others?'
Yes. sir
O'Nein said he did not know OF any
conflict of opinion in the executive board
as to the magazine and had never been
told the magazine was unsatisfactory.
At this point Senator BOTah began to
quote from several issues of the maya
zine early in 1906 following the death of
Governor Steunenberg. One of these con-
tanned the express;

He admitted that he had been an inmate
of the state insane asylum for six or seven
months in 1885 One of his sons filed the
application for his commitment Elliott
denied that he had been in a straight
jacket. When he was released Elliott de-
clared he had a certificate of recovery.
In May 1904, Elliott said he went to the
asylum again. The probate judge told him
he was not insane but he seemed to be
in bad shape physically and he thought
stay at the asylum would benefit him.
Another of his sons signed the complaint
on this second occasion Elliott was re-
leased later on the promise of his brother
and sister-in-law to take care of him. He
was then placed in the soldiers home.
On redirect examination Elliott said ne
had not been assisted in any way in stat
ing his testimony and had received but y
witness fee and 70 cents in mileage
Judge Wood here entered an order tnat
all witnesses for the defense would be eX-
cused as soon as they testified with the
exception of those whom the state de-
sired to retain in Boise. AS 10 these ne
said the state would pay their per diem
expenses.

The defense here called TO the stand
John NJ. O'Neill. editor of the Miners

miner for twenty-eiSht years.
You were once a member OF the lesis-
latTITe?'' asked Mr.. Darrow 49,
Il regret to say so, yes, sir, in 1891 re-
piled ONeill.
The witness declared Meyer and Hay
wood had nothing to do with the maya
zine. although they occasionally had made
the articles The magazine Is the OH
Cial organ OF the Western Federation OF
Miners.
What is the purpose of the maya
zine?"
TO educate the members and unite
them politically
O'NeiIl said ne sometimes consulted
Meyer and Haywood or some men of the
executive board as TO what to say In
the magazine. Usually he consulted no
one but published the editorials as he
wrote them.
The witness said he had known Orch
ard in Denver In his office one day
Orchard asked him where Governor Pea

said they ought to be bumped off. Just
at this time the witness wife and daugh-
ter came in Orchard made no further
