my attorneys would secure modifica-
ton of the order compelling me to ap-
pear In Chicago. But see. sir, you

In these words did John D. Rookie
feller, head of the Standard Oil trust
and richest man in the world, met Dep
Frink, OF North Adams, the successful
process server, who took the old man
unawares and served him with sub
poena commanding him to appear be-
fore Federal Judge Landis in Chicago
Saturday, SO that Lands can extract
from him information as to the finances
OF the oil monopoly.
It was the evening before the Fourth
and Deputy Frink began his celebrat-
ing ahead Of time. Today he is the
biggest deputy United States marshal
In anywhere. The feat Of catching the
much sought Millionaire was performed
with shrewd ability and tact.
Frink first tried to serve papers in
the usual fashion and failed. being told
that Mr.. Rockefeller was not in the
vicinity. Then he disappeared. leaving
the impression he had given up the
quest.
Later, quietly slipping out to Taconic
farm, the deputy came upon Mr..
Rockefeller seated comfortably on a
porch with his son-in-law. E. Parnelle
Prentice. who up to that time had kept
the officers at bay. Frink said:
''Is this Mr.. Rockefeller ?"
YES" said the oil magnate.

MoYER TO TESTIFY
Federation Of Miners President to Go
on Stand Late Today-conspiraey
Evidence Introduced.

Boise, July 5.-when the Haywood
spectators in the court room. Defense
offered as the first witness Marion
w. Moore, of McCabe, Arz., mem-
Der OF the executive board of the
Western Federation of Miners.
Moore told of the circumstances
connected with his taking letter ad-
dressed to Mrs. Harry Orchard to Alas
ka, and there mailing it to Colorado.
Moore said he did not inquire as to
whether a woman to whom the letter
was addressed was Orchards wife or
not. Orchard referred to her as that
woman" and said he wanted to be rid
of her. Moore said he had talked with
Orchard but three or four times before
the letter incident took place.
Owen Barnes, sometimes knowen as
"Owney." who was implicated by Or
chard in the manufacture of certain
bombs, testified that he never had any
conversation with Orchard as to the
manufacture of dynamite bombs and
never made a bomb. He never COM
mltted or Planned TO commit any act
of violence with Orchard.
Written evidence was introduced to
show that conspiracy existed between
the mine owners association and the
citizens alliance, the governor and the.
militia of Colorado, and the Pinkerton
detective agency, all seeking to de-
stroy the Western Federation of Min
ers. A mysterious registered letter
sent from Denver to San Francisco
and which Orchard swore contained
five twenty dollar bills. sent to him
by George Pettibone, signing himself
as ~ Wolff" was explained by Jacob
Wolff, who said he formerly worked
for Pettibone. Wolff said he sent Or
chard Masonic charm and union card
in registered letter.
Moyer will probably go on the wit
ness stand this afternoon.

and took effect in July Of that year.
One year has expired. In four years
moro, in every county In the state,
where the mulct tax is now legal, there
will have 10 be circulated new petit
ton of consent before saloons can con-
tinue. This opens the fight every five
years in every county of the state. In
any counties that may hereafter be-
come consent counties the time runs
five years from the time the consent
starts.
In legislation the next biggest feather
in their cap is the defeat of the Nc
Manus bill. This was a proposition to
allow liquor shipped inside the state.
The liquor interests claimed they
wanted the same advantage that the
breweries organized outside the state
had of shipping to any county In the
state. The league interpreted the bill
differently. The bill was an amendment
to a section pertaining to shipments of
liquor and amended by striking out the
words "to dealers only" This permitted
shipping to anyone "bootleggers," and
everybody else as interpreted by the
league 1t saw in the bill the oppor-
tunity to ship liquor to counties which
had refu used consent to the sale OF
liquor They claimed that under the
bill liquor to be shipped to dry
county. whether the county wanted 1t
or not, and was a cirtual obstruction Of
the local option.
Another bill defeated was that re-
quiring the township clerk to furnish
lists of ,lrunkards and minors. The
al, n; to cyi1y ca1nnrS
a right to sell to everybody not on the
lists. Urder the present law saloon
keeper takes all the responsibility In
sale of liquor. If the purchaser is a
minor or a drunkard the saloon keeper
is responsible whether he knew it or
not. Under the proposed law they would
have been responsible only to the ex-
tent of the list furnished them. The
league defeated the bill
The other important bill is the G. O.
D. liquor bill. which went into effect
July A. Under the provisions OF that
bill no railroad can receive liquor and
hold it in its station more than twenty
four hours without paying a mulct tax
of $500 a year. This sort OF business
won't amount to more than about $3.50
a year Al. any depot in the state and
the railroads will not run the liability
Of having to pay the mulct tax of $500
and so will refuse to receive the goods
for shipment.
Still another law Is Of importance.
formerly to sell to a minor or a
drunkard was punishable by forfeit
Of $25 to 5000. half of which went to the
informant. The result was that no one
cared to he known as an informer Now
it is msdemeanor punishable by a
Jail or penitentiary sentence. Suit is
started by information in justice court
the same as any other suit and the
league believes there will be more suits
started.
The four years of active work OF the
league will be up in December. Those
interested In the league are congratu-
lating themselves that they have put
the Temperance forces into position
where they are able to fight better than
ever before and they think thy see real
things accomplished for the cause OF
temperance.

Compared with a year ago the i'm
mediate death roll is thirty, but, un-
fortunately, 1t will be several weeks
before the total number of dead from
yesterdays insane and noisy hilarity
can be ascertained. Lockjaw and 9TH
er diseases consequent upon injuries
from firearms and fireworks will spell
the number of yesterdays total dead
into hundreds. ..
Up to midnight no fewer than thirty
deaths from Fourth of July disasters
had been reported to the press. A
year ago only thirty three deaths
had been reported up to a. m. of the
morning after. -.
There is sinister significance to
these figures, which leads to the fear
that the death roll of 1907 will mount
higher than the figures Of 1906.
The total number of injured. as far
as reported up to midnight, showed
highly gratifying decrease over the
figures of last year. The total was L..
46s, as against 2,7s9 up to 8 a. m. of
