fragments of only one revolver were
found in the sixth level, and that the

Vengeance Was Orchards Motive.


Boise, Idaho, June 27.-The first di-
rect testimony in defense of William
ID. Haywood was offered yesterday,
and lit fas chiefly directed toward
showing ssAat HarrX Ofhard, blaming
Frank Stglnenberg forhhe loss of his
interest IN the Hercules mine, had
threatened to have revenge by killing
him, and that the conduct of Orchard
and X. c. Stirling, both before the In

frequently seen together, and after
wards when Sterling called off a blood
hound that was following Orchards
trail, justified the inference that the
mine owners inspired the crime.

The calling OF the first witness for
the defense vas preceded by a further

sold his interest in the mine two years
before the trouble that drove him out
Of Northern Idaho.
Two witnesses called later in the
day swore that Orchard threatened to
kill S~teunenberg because OF the Her

has prepared the way for such testi-
mony from a dozen more witnesses.

Denies Story Told by Orchard.

Boise, Idaho, June 2S.-William F
Davis Of Goldfeld, New, one of the
most important witnesses for the de.
Tense of William ID. Haywood, accused
of the murder of Frank Steunenherg
was called to the stand at noon yester
day, and his cross-examination had
not been completed when court ad,
journed. Harry Orchard testified that
Davis led and commanded the mob
that destroyed the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mill in 1899; inspired, as the
agent Of Haywood and Meyer, the Vim
dicator explosion and the train wreck
ing plot at Cripple Creek, and was an
accomplice In the independence sta,

Denies Orchards Story.
On direct examination by Clarence
Darrow he went over the story of his
working life, including the pathetic
story of the death of his wife and
babe at Cripple Creek, at which he
wept, and made positive denial of
every statement of Orchard that In
volved him or his associates in any
form of crime. He denied that he
was even a member of the union
when the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine was blown up, and at the mn-
clusion of his general story swre

strike, Orchard told him of the Her

Mrs. Lottie Day of Denver testified
that in 1904 Orchard told her about
the loss of the Hercules interest. and
that he said he would kill Steuen-

Still Try to DIscredit Orchards Story.
Boise, Idaho, June 30. - The attor-
neys for Haywood continue to center
their efforts on the discrediting of
Harry Orchard and the establishment
OF their claim that Orchard killed
Frank S~teunenberg in revenge for the
loss of his interest in the Hercules
mine. Yesterday they directly attack
ed the story of the indicator explo-
sion with the testimony of a witness
who made it appear accidental rather
than criminal.

Thomas Wood, a n~on-unionist, who
entered the Vindicator mine as a tim
Der man after the strike began, swore
that the night before the explosion he
placed a box containing twenty-five
pounds of dynamite at the shaft of the
eighth level. He saw the powder the
next morning shortly after 10 o'clock,
and a few minutes later Supt. McCor-
mick and Foreman Beck came to the
eighth level. They remained but a
short time and left to go to the sixth
level, where they were killed. Wood
.swore that when he reached the shaft,
twenty minutes later, the powder was
gone and 1t was q reasonable inference
that Mccormick and Beck tSok it with

Is not an easy one. There is the vulgar

been used the day before. They were at

FOREST PRESENTATIONS.
Some Advantages in the English
Way Worth Considering.

FROM tne bhltiHioTt SuH
1t is announced that the British gov
ernment has purchased about Il, 500 acres
of land IN Argyllshire, Scotland, for. a
state forest. There are no trees on the
estate. and they will have to be planted
A generation will pass away, it Is said.
before there Is a crop worth marketing
This fact explains why there ts no for
esting or tree planting by individual
landowners in this country. In England
large tracts Of lands are held in tail"
and each owner has only trust estate
in IT. He hands 1t down to his successor
unimpaired or improved. and that Is the
reason why ancient land as England
is we'll timbered. In this country the
practice of landowners is to take every
thing In sight for present USE and leave
the next generation to look out for itself
If there is a fine tract Of woodland It
might be made to yield a regular annual
revenue. But no one here knows any
thing about forestry. The plan Is to
bring In q portable sawmill. convert into
lumber all that IS convertible, make cord
wood out OF the rest, grub up the young
growth and cultivate the land. 1t may be
accepted as fact that If there Is any
renewing OF forests or preservation of
forests in this country it must be by the
government either of the states or Of the
United States. The government Is con-
tnuing concern and does not die, and
theoretically at least. Is concerned in
coming generations as wei as tie pres
ent. 1t may take fifty years OF a century
for tree to mature. That fact would
discourage an indy tdual in planting such
a tree because few are willing to SOW
where they can never reap. But the gov
ernment will only be little older a
hundred years hence than it is now, and
it Is not dependent upon immediate re-
turns from its investments. Therefore
it Is to their governments that people
look for this service. Maryland has made
a small beginning in forest preservation.
and President Roosevelt has displayed
an Intelligent interest in the future in
setting apart number of forest reserva-
tons. Unless the state and general gov
ernments do something for the preserva-
ton of the forests tn s country will finally
he as treeless the desert of Sahara.
Among the mos active tree cutters are
the railroads and the paper mills. The
railroad companies could easily repair
the devastation they commit by planting
locust Or other trees suitable for ties
along their rights of way or on lands
which could be purchased at little cost
Congress could do more than any other
influence to save forests from immediate
destruction by reducing the tariff rate on
lumber and paper and wood pulp so that
at least a portion of our supply could
be taken from the forests of other coun-
tries.
